Choices galore at AOP festival this weekend Events include parade, a tractor show and more

By Vinde Wells Editor If you’ve got a hankering for a funnel cake, need to do some early Christmas shopping, or just want to get out to enjoy perfect fall weather, the Autumn on Parade festival in Oregon this weekend has it all.

The Farmers’ Market and Craft Show, situated around the scenic Ogle County Courthouse square and adjoining streets, will feature 150 vendors selling their wares at 170 booths.

“We have a little something for everybody,” said AOP Committee Member Laury Edlund and chairman of the Farmers’ Market.

True to its roots in 1970, the Farmers’ Market and Craft Show remains the heart of the festival which celebrates its 44th year this weekend,

Saturday, Oct. 4 and Sunday, Oct. 5.

So far, the weatherman is promising sunny skies and temperatures in the 60s.

The Farmers’ Market’s booths offer a diverse array of items, Edlund said.

“This year we have quite a few more vendors selling produce and food items,” she said. “It runs the gamut from honey and maple syrup products to peanut brittle and dip mixes.”

Jeff Warren, who owns BerryView Orchard, Mt. Morris, will offer homegrown aronia berry treats for the first time this year.

Maple syrup and sweets made from maple syrup will be available at the Maple Lane Farm booth from Rob and Lynnette Hough, Mt. Morris.

Seasonal favorites apple cider and caramel apple wedges are the bill-of-fare at Oregon resident April Roos’ booth.

On Memorial Day of 2013, John and Sandy O’Rorke attended the annual Oregon services at Riverside Cemetery. It was there that they learned about civil war veteran James Butterfield of Rochelle, who died when the SS Sultana exploded on the Mississippi River.

The O’Rorkes had a civil war relative from Rochelle that also died in a sinking of ship during the civil war.

Could it be the same ship, they wondered?

After much research and assistance from local historian Otto Dick, it was determined that the O’Rorke’s relative was on a different ship, one that went down off Cape Hatteras by North Carolina.

That relative was James O’Rorke, who served in the 92nd Illinois Infantry. James served from 1862 until his death in 1865. His final year was spent at the infamous Andersonville Prison.

“We thought James was lost in history,” John O’Rorke said.

Upon his release, he was put aboard the steamer General Lyon, bound for

New York. It exploded and nearly all on board perished, including O’Rorke.

“James probably received no honor at all,” Sandy O’Rorke said. “His name was even misspelled (O’Rorke or O’Rorke) throughout his service.”

Upon learning the full truth about O’Rorke’s service to his country and his untimely death, Sandy and

By Vinde Wells Editor Local votes are needed this month to help an Oregon native win a nationwide grant contest to help the students she teaches at a Chicago high school.

Maggie (Folk) Kendall, a 1995 graduate of Oregon High School, is one of three finalists for a $100,000 grant offered to teachers by Farmers Insurance through its Thank a Million Teachers program.

Kendall, the daughter of Richard and Avril Folk, rural Oregon, was one of more than 700 teachers who entered the contest.

She wrote the grant application to help fund an indoor horse riding arena at Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences, where she has been a teacher for the last three years.

Writing the grant was a lengthy process that took 100 hours, she said.

Kendall, who has been teaching in Chicago Public Schools for the past 14 years, started a horse program at her current school after she started teaching science there.

She immediately saw a need for a convenient place to ride because students involved in the program had a long drive to the closest arena.

Bison on the near horizon for Nachusa Grasslands Months, years of planning to prepare for herd

By Earleen Hinton General Manager Cody Considine couldn’t help but smile as he stood on a high hill overlooking the old Holland Farm Site at the Nachusa Grasslands on a clear sunny day last week.

“Right there, where you see that fencing is where we will be directing the bison into the corral when we have our round ups,” said Considine, the restoration ecologist at the Grasslands.

That’s right he said bison.

And yep, right here in Lee County, just a few miles from Dixon and Oregon.

Casual visitors to the 3,000 acre Grasslands, owned and operated by The Nature Conservancy, probably haven’t noticed all the extra activity going on at the scenic preserve these last few

months.

Volunteers, staff, and contractors have been working side-by-side putting up fence and constructing a state-of-the-art bison corral for the preserve’s newest addition, the first of which are slated to arrive later this week.

And that’s just the past few months. The real foundation for getting a conservation herd of bison at the Grasslands started years ago and has been accomplished through hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours that helped reshape the farmland back into a habitat that could again support bison.

“I’m anxious, concerned, there’s a lot of tasks yet to be done,” said Bill Kleiman, preserve manager. “We started thinking about this in the early 1990s, but then we decided we had too much restoration work to do so we put the dream off for another 15 years.”

That dream begins later this week when the first bison arrive at their new home.

In This Week’s Edition...

“We will start out with 15 to 20 and hope to have around 50 when it’s all said and done,” said Considine who is headed to Iowa this week to help bring the first bison back.

The bison destined for

the Grasslands come from TNC preserves like Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota. The Nature Conservancy currently has 13 preserves with approximately 5,500 bison.

Wind Cave bison are

unique because they have not been bred with cattle.

“The Wind Cave herd has been closed since the 1900s,” said Considine. “It’s pure and has had no cattle integration.

We don’t have anything against cattle, but bison

have a much more hands off approach.”

The Grasslands bison will be transported to the preserve in livestock trailers. They will be unloaded into the Turn to A8

“Old Betsy” comes back home to Mt. Morris Fire Department

By Vinde Wells Editor

Service held for Civil War vet From A1 conducted the service.

“We can not do enough honor for the boys in blue,” said Terry Dyer, past state commander of the Sons of the Union. ‘They were the ones that made us the United States of America.”

Dyer was one of a 12-member contingent of the Grand Army of the Republic union and it’s auxiliary on hand to carry on a 133-year old tradition of recognizing and honoring civil war vets.

It was their third dedication of the year.

“Our main purview is finding these men and identifying head stones and looking after monuments,” said Dyer, whose members are based out of Rockford.

Rob Berkenes traveled from Des Moines, Iowa to observe the dedication. His has a very informative website on O’Rorke’s unit, the 92nd Infantry. That regiment originated in Freeport and included soldiers from Carroll, Stephenson and Ogle counties.

“To me, this is important,” Berkenes said. “An authentic GAR ceremony keeps alive

the memory. I was thrilled to find someone like Sandy interested in it.”

James O’Rorke, born in Ireland, was one of six siblings of Hugh and Mary Carson O’Rorke. In 1859, the family moved to Rochelle.

Numerous O’Rorke descendants still reside in the Rochelle area and were present on Saturday.

“This is a wonderful thing that was done,” said 85-year old Betty O’Rorke

of Rochelle, who raised 10 O’Rorke children with her husband Paul.

Upon his death, James O’Rorke’s mother received an $8/month survivor’s pension from the U.S. government.

In her research, Sandy wrote to the National Archives and got a 90-page deposition regarding the pension and all the documentation that was needed for Mary O’Rorke to prove James was her son.

After more than six decades of “living” just down the road, one of Mt. Morris’ grand old “ladies” has returned home.

The Mt. Morris Firemen’s Association purchased a 1930 fire engine affectionately known as “Old Betsy” from the Leaf River Fire Department earlier this year.

The antique engine was loaded onto a trailer and brought back to Mt. Morris in June, in time to be displayed in the Let Freedom Ring Grand Parade.

Mt. Morris Fire Chief Rob Hough said plans call for restore the old truck, both mechanically and body-wise, through fundraisers.

“I want to emphasize that no tax money is being used,” he said. “The work will be paid for through fundraisers and firemen’s association funds.”

Once Betsy is running and bright and shiny again, the department will use her for parades and during Fire Prevention Week programs, Hough said.

“We’ll drive it in parades and to the preschools,” he said.

The firemen’s association purchased the old truck from Leaf River for $6,000.

Leaf River Fire Chief Steve Shelton said his department’s plan was also to restore the truck, but that didn’t happen.

“We put a lot of work into it over the years but it wasn’t coming like we wanted it to,”

Fall/Winter 2014

BOOMERS Fall 2014

Shelton said. “Since it came from Mt. Morris we decided they should have the first chance at it.”

That was a chance Mt. Morris welcomed.

“We had been trying to buy it back for a long time,” Hough said. “After an almost 67-year absence Engine # 2 was proudly backed into Mt. Morris’ Firehouse on the evening of June 12. The reason it’s in such good shape is because it’s been kept inside the Leaf River Fire Station.”

The truck needs a new engine and is missing its two chemical tanks, but the body remains in good shape for its age, and much of the original equipment, including hoses, an axe and two flashlights, remain.

No one knows exactly how the truck got its nickname “Old Betsy,” but Hough

and Shelton agreed that the moniker was assigned to it during its years at Leaf River.

The truck, actually named Mt. Morris Community Engine Co. #2, was purchased brand new by the Mt. Morris Fire Department in 1929. That name is still visible on the truck’s hood.

“Before that, Engine Co. #1, along with the hose carts from the central and north end firehouses did an exemplary job of providing fire protection to the village,” Hough said.

“By 1929 the rural residents around Mt. Morris felt they were in need of fire protection as well.”

Anyone with old photographs or more information about the truck is asked to call the fire station at 815-734-4322. Donations are also being accepted for the truck’s restoration.

In 1889, the Ogle County Republican, a competing newspaper, was started. In 1890, the Republican was sold to Ziba Landers. Upon his death in 1939, the newspaper was assumed by his son, Ernest D. In March 1951, Paul F. Behan, owner of the Reporter, and E.D. Landers and his son E.G. (Tim) Landers united the newspapers into the Republican Reporter. Ernest D. Landers died in 1966, and E.G. and Behan became partners. Eventually, E.G. Landers assumed sole ownership, and in 1985 he sold the newspaper to B.F.

Civil War veteran died 10 days after explosion Editor’s note: Otto Dick, Oregon, has researched the people, places, and events important in Oregon’s history for the Ogle County Historical Society.

The following is one of a series of the articles he has written.

By Otto Dick Civil War Veteran J.A.B. Butterfield’s tombstone is located at Riverside Cemetery in Oregon.

James died May 6, 1875, 10 days after the Sultana disaster on the Mississippi.

Many of the ex-P.0.W. Civil War Union Soldiers died of burns from the burning steamboat or exposure in the frigid waters after jumping or being blown off the deck by the explosion of three of the four boilers.

Butterfield’s service record showed he was born in Boston, Suffold County, Maryland.

He was listed as a lawyer in Lane (now Rochelle) and joined the service Aug. 8, 1861 in Oregon.

At age 25 and single he mustered in Aug. 14, 1861 at Camp Butler.

Camp Butler was located on Clear Lake east of Springfield.

This Illinois camp was where the 39th Infantry and 9th Cavalry Regiments were

mustered.

Camp Butler is now a National Cemetery occupying 53 acres with more than 19,800 interments.

The largest Civil War camp was Camp Douglas in Chicago.

Another Civil War Camp, Camp Fuller, was located in Rockford and closed in 1862.

Major E.F. Dutcher, buried at Riverside, raised a company of men from this area and trained at Camp Fuller in Rockford.

The site of Camp Fuller was located just south of Auburn Street by the Rock River.

The streets are appropriately named Douglas, Logan, Sheridan, National and Guard Streets.

There were several Butterfields in Ogle County, located at Chana, Rochelle, Oregon, Honey Creek, etc.

James Austin Butterfield from Rochelle composed the music for “When you and I Were Young Maggie” published in 1866.

Later he was editor of the newspaper in Rochelle and lived at 239 Eighth Ave in Rochelle.

Norman Butterfield, also a Civil War veteran, is listed as being buried at Riverview Cemetery.

His obituary dated Sept.

21, 1905 indicated that he

was sergeant of the guard in charge of President Abraham Lincoln’s body as it lay in state at the White House.

Now back to J.A.B. After considerable research there are a lot of unanswered questions.

1. Where was he after he mustered out Aug. 14,1864 and the Sultana Explosion April 27, 1865?

2. Is there a record of his care for 10 days after the

explosion and his death?

3. Being an ex-soldier did the Union transport his body to the gravesite in Oregon?

4. Why is his marker a civilian marker and not a Civil War Marker?

5. In one of the histories of the 2nd Illinois Cavalry they mentioned non-soldiers fighting a battle. Could he have been a non-soldier after he mustered out?

6. Was he a P.O.W. at

This gravestone marks J.A. B. Butterfield’s grave at the Riverside Cemetery in Oregon. Photo by Otto Dick

Andersonville Prison?

7. Why was he listed on the Sultana as an ex-soldier?

Being an ex-soldier did the Union pay for his passage?

8.

Living in Rochelle why is his monument stone at Riverside Cemetery in Oregon?

9. Who were his parents?

After two years with no answers to the above

question, while I was working at the Oregon Depot John and Sandy O’Rorke handed me information answering most of the above questions.

Before I reveal the information they gave me, I will use the next article to explain the explosion of the Sultana which historians claim is the largest U.S. maritime disaster.

Highland students learn about Illinois agriculture First grade students at Highland Elementary in Stillman Valley learned about foods that grow in Illinois by participating in an Ag in the Classroom program.

Through a book titled “The Very Hungry Illinois Caterpillar” students discovered the many crops in Illinois including: watermelon, sweet corn, soybeans, wheat, apples, field corn, grapes, green beans, popcorn and peaches.

They also found out Illinois is the “Pumpkin and Horseradish Capital of the World.”

Following the story, students learned the monarch butterfly is the state insect.

In the story the caterpillar was black, yellow, and white like that of monarch caterpillars. Not only did students learn about foods in Illinois but they also reviewed metamorphosis.

At the conclusion of the lesson, students made their own book to take home and share with their families.

They added a caterpillar to each page; glued on kernels of field corn, popcorn, and wheat; and finally made a beautiful monarch butterfly for their last page.

Agriculture in the Classroom is a program to help students gain a greater awareness of the role of agriculture in the economy

and society.

Students learn that thousands of farm products are in the world around them—on their plate, in the clothes they wear, in the medicine that makes them well, and in earth-friendly fuels and plastics.

Ag in the Classroom is offered through the University of Illinois Extension-Ogle County in partnership with Carroll County Farm Bureau, Ogle County Farm Bureau, Carroll County Soil and Water, and Ogle County Soil and Water.

For more information about the program, call the Ogle County Extension Office at 815-732-2191.

Brady, a first grade student in Mrs. Dessing’s class, listens intently while completing “The Very Hungry Illinois Caterpillar” book that he will take home and share with his family. The book highlights the crops that grow in Illinois. It is a project completed through an Ag in the Classroom program.

Meridian district educates public about referendum Submitted by Meridian School District officials As the November election approaches, the Meridian School District administration is hard at work trying to get as much information to the public as possible.

Superintendent P.J. Caposey said the question on the ballot for Meridian voters

calls for a rate increase that equates to approximately $191 additional tax dollars being collected for every $100,000 of (market value) property.

“The referendum is a term referendum which means that it has a legally-binding sunset,” Caposey said. “This means that if passed, the increased tax rate will only

exist for seven years.”

The Meridian School Board has cut more than 30 positions in the past two years and have reduced expenditures by approximately 20 percent in that time frame.

Despite the reductions, the budget is still not balanced.

The board recently passed a nearly $500,000 deficit budget for 2014-15.

“With budget reserves dwindling, the need for a balanced budget for next school year exists,” Caposey said. “Therefore, if the referendum were not to pass, additional reductions should be expected.”

The impact of reductions are already being felt with increased class size, the elimination of the Family and

Consumer Science program, and the loss of junior high athletics and activities.

Over the past weeks Caposey has spoken at Lions Club meetings, in-home meetings, a youth football practice, and meetings specifically designed to engage the Meridian agricultural community.

In the coming weeks

meetings will take place with the Boy Scouts, PTO, and more home visits. The school board will also hold town-hall type meetings on Oct. 20 and 21 in all three communities in the district.

For more information about the referendum or attending or hosting a meeting call the Meridian School District office.

Conservation bison herd is coming to Grasslands From A1 bison corral and will spend several weeks there before being released into larger trap pastures until they gradually acclimate to their new 500acre home in the North Bison Unit. Eventually, there will be about 1,500 acres of land available to the herd.

This “soft release” is designed to reduce the stress level of the bison after

transport allowing them time to calm down and get comfortable in their new home.

Some will be fitted with a GPS chip in their ear that will allow scientists to easily track them and study their habits. Microchips will also contain data about each animal including, age, weight, vacation history, and its DNA profile.

“We’ll be able to track how

often they come to water, what certain areas they are using, where they winter, where they are calving, and whether they form one main group or keep their family groups,” said Considine.

“The microchip will have genetic data on it.”

A 6-foot fence made with high tensile woven wire and reinforced with cast iron pipes repurposed from old oil well drilling pipe, will keep the herd within their

designated prairie. How they graze and what they eat will also be studied.

The Grasslands herd is the first to live at a TNC preserve east of the Mississippi and also the first conservation herd in Illinois—with a primary purpose of helping the prairie thrive.

“They won’t be free-range roaming, but it won’t be zoolike at all,” said Considine.

“Their diet is almost 99.9% grass. Bison eat grass and that

helps native forbs (flowers) thrive. We expect there will be a better balance and that will help other species of the prairie. It creates a mosaic of diversity across the landscape.”

For example, bison dung should help the Grasslands’ ornate box turtle population increase and become healthier.

“The dung attracts beetles and turtles eat beetles. Their grazing may give the turtles

more lanes to walk. There are lot of things we don’t know yet too,” Considine said.

Visitor areas, yet to be built, will eventually provide areas where the general public may be able to see the conservation herd.

Programming will be added to help teach visitors about the bison and how they’ll help benefit the preserve.

“We just don’t know how many visitors will be attracted by this,” said Considine.

Volunteer effort was key to getting bison The effort to make The Nachusa Grasslands ready for a conservation herd of bison could not have been accomplished without the preserve’s dedicated volunteers.

“It’s been a real team effort. We would not have been able to do this without our volunteers,” said Cody Considine, restoration

ecologist.

Damian Considine, Dixon, is one of those volunteers whose expertise in welding was essential for construction of the fencing and bison corral.

“It’s pretty unique to be part of bringing bison back to Illinois through The Nature Conservancy,” he said. “Our hope is that this brings back

more species too.”

Mike Carr’s skills as an electrician were put to work after he moved from Wheaton to Lost Lake and became a Grasslands volunteer.

“I come from a blue collar background and this is very blue collar here,” he said. “It’s simple for me here because we work together and we understand each others gifts

and that’s important to me.”

“We learn so much from each other. It’s a great atmosphere,” said Cody.

John Heneghan, of Big Rock, has been busy completing carpentry work on the data shed for the bison corral.

“I’m very excited. I’ve even been having dreams about bison,” he said smiling.

Years of study, hours of observation, and lots of elbow grease have gone into the creation of the bison corral at The Nachusa Grasslands.

Volunteers and part-time contractors were busy last week putting the final touches on the large facility, built near an old livestock feed lot.

“The last 4 or 5 years we’ve been going all over to observe other bison managers, learning how to do it,” said Cody Considine, restoration ecologist. “We’ve incorporated low stress handling techniques.”

Some of those techniques include teardrop shaped enclosures, winding entryways, special squeeze chutes designed for bison, and no catwalks.

“Bison don’t like something above them so, no catwalks. And Bison are more athletic than traditional cattle so we kept that in mind,” said Considine.

World-renowned animal behaviorist Temple Grandin also looked over the design

and has given her “blessing”.

Considine said she may visit the facility next year.

Gates between the different sections of the corral will be operated by remote control.

And its centerpiece, is the Berlinic Cube, specifically designed for bison.

“We can have cows and calves in here together,” said Considine referring to the squeeze chute. “The veterinarian will be able to look at the bison and do what needs to be done with as little stress as possible.”

The corral will be used to introduce new bison to the Grasslands and will be an essential element in the annual round up once the herd is established.

From A1 the festival, the women of the Chana United Methodist Church will offer homemade pies and baked goods on Saturday.

And if it’s coffee cake you crave, make a stop at the Polo Knights of Columbus booth, where they offer a taste of several kinds to help you make up your mind.

Edlund said many veteran vendors will be back this year with handmade wooden crafts, holiday and seasonal decorations, clouting, painted barn quilts, jewelry, birdhouses, and much more.

New vendors this year are Paul Whaley, Rochelle, with horseshoe art, and Valerie Abramat, Rockford, who hand paints feathers.

Besides all that, Oregon blacksmith Lloyd Bellows will be back for the second year selling items he has made, and doing demonstrations of how he makes them.

The theme of this year’s festival is Autumn of Superheroes.

“In honor of this year’s theme, entertainers on Saturday on the courthouse square will include Wonder Woman and Captain America,” said festival president Marseyne Snow.

“We’ll also have Spiderman doing his acrobatics and Cat Woman will be painting faces.”

Back again this year is a post parade show by the South Shore Drill Team on Sunday, following the Harvest Time Parade.

“South Shore is always a such a crowd favorite that we decided last year to have them stay a bit longer and do a show after the parade was over,” said Snow. “People really liked that so we’re doing the post parade show again on Jefferson Street in front of the Oregon library.”

Snow said this year’s parade, held on Sunday at 1 p.m., should be a good one.

“In addition to the South Shore Drill Team and the

Jesse White Tumblers we have several high school marching bands and novelty entries like a rocket cycle, stilt walkers, and many other entries,” Snow said.

Another highlight of the festival will be the annual appearance of WGN radio personality and nationally known agricultural broadcaster Max Armstrong, who will exhibit his Farmall Super M at the Tractor Classic and Gas Engine exhibit on Saturday at Oregon Park East.

Armstrong will drive his Super M in the parade.

Currently Armstrong is communications director of Farm Progress Publications Company.

New to this year’s festival is a “Boot Camp Challenge Obstacle Course” operated

by Kid Again Inflatable Fun Shows, in the AOP Fun Zone, located in the city-owned parking lot on N. Fifth Street.

A “Volcano Adventureland” and “‘Lil Builders Toddler Zone” inflatables and a Spiderman bouncy house will also be offered in the Fun Zone along with balloon artistry, and cotton candy.

Activities will be offered on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Wristbands are needed for entry to Fun Zone activities and cost $8 during the festival.

The Olde English Faire will be sure to delight visitors at the Stronghold Center on both days. An admission is charged for this event.

Other Autumn on Parade events include: the Oregon Lions Club’s car, truck and motorcycle show on Saturday at Oregon Park East; the antique tractor show, also on Saturday at Oregon Park East; and tours of the Chana School.

Visitors can help fund the festival by adopting a duck for the annual Duck Dash or by buying a 50/50 raffle ticket.

Trinity Lutheran Church hosts Crop Walk Oct. 12 Walkers to raise money to try and end hunger Trinity Lutheran Church, Mt. Morris, will host the 2014 Ogle County CROP Hunger Walk on Sunday, Oct. 12.

Rain or shine, the walk begins at 2 p.m.; registration is at 1:30 p.m.

Walkers from 15 Ogle County churches and several groups will step off from Trinity to end hunger - one step at a time.

Amanda Cowen is chairperson for this year’s walk.

In the last 20 years, CROP Hunger Walks have raised more than $294 million to help people struggling to feed their families - both around the world and within our neighborhoods.

Donations can make an amazing difference.

For example, $24 buys a one-year supply of Vitalita nutrition packets for 20 children; this nutritional supplement promotes healthy development and

prevents children from lifelong health problems. $50 can enable a woman to attend literacy classes and change her life forever. $50 also provides seeds as tools to help a family grow their own healthy food to eat and sell at market. $110 can provide emergency food supplies for a family of five’s needs for a month. $140 can give a struggling farm family a new source of income: a pair of pigs.

A piglet from each litter is then given to another family in need.

Walkers and donations are needed to make Ogle County CROP WALK 2014 a success.

Walk as an individual or put together a team of walkers.

Donation envelopes (available at Trinity or other participating churches) are required for all - individuals and teams.

Donations to the Crop Walk may be made on a per mile basis or may be donated as a lump sum.

Route options are from 1 to 5 miles throughout the Village of Mt. Morris.

Walkers will receive a 2014 Ogle County CROP Walk T-Shirt.

Trinity Lutheran will serve a light meal for all walkers at the conclusion of the walk.

To pre-register to walk, create a team, or participate by donation, Google “2014 Ogle County Crop Walk” or contact Cowen at 815734-6862 or Cowen313@ comcast.net.

Crop Walk is neighbors walking together to take a stand against hunger in our world.

Yes, this walk will have an impact globally, and it

also assists locally to help people struggling to feed their families.

Twenty-five percent of the monies raised will be split between five Ogle County food pantries/banks: Mt. Morris Loaves and Fish, Ogle County Lifeline, Oregon, the Stillman Valley Bread of Life, Polo Lifeline, and the New Life Community Center, Forreston.

The balance of the monies go to world hunger relief through Church World Service.

Public Voice Rodney Rogers comments on news article Dear Editor, My name is Rodney Scott Rogers, the former owner of Rogers Remodeling Inc. I am writing this letter in response to the article printed in your paper that was filled with partial truths.

My Illinois state roofing license was indeed suspended indefinitely on July 31, 2014.

The problem with your story is that you have not told the whole truth of what has happened.

I had indeed sold Rogers Remodeling Inc. to Jim Rogers and Brett Rogers in August 2013. Your article never suggested this time frame. This sale had nothing to do with the “disgruntled homeowner.” After a long, 15-year career in the roofing service, I had decided to retire.

In June 2014, I received a letter from the state of Illinois demanding my presence over allegations of a certain homeowner. Three years ago, I had done work for this homeowner, and after the work was completed, there were a couple of callbacks.

After the third trip back to the residence, the “disgruntled homeowner” said, “I am happy now, and I promise not to bother you again.”

In June, I received this letter from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.

So, having retired from roofing after 12 years of managing Rogers Remodeling, I decided to inform the Department of Regulation that I no longer needed my license. The real truth is that I let them have it.

Please print these truths in your paper. I’m sorry the

homeowner felt the work was substandard. Also, let the community know how thankful my wife, Alicia, and I are for all of the years they kept us busy. We are most thankful for every job that we were hired. We worked hard to respond to clients and meet their every need.

We can read nonfiction books to fill them with information.

Children are drawn to poems and rhymes as they learn to appreciate the sounds of language.

Another thing Dougherty considers is that student interests often begin at an early age. We can support our children’s and grandchildren’s interests by reading books as mentioned earlier.

We can include technology by sharing appropriate Internet information with them including virtual tours and virtual trips to faraway places.

We can also help by providing them with rich experiences in and out of the

home.

Many times even very young children develop an interest in something very specific such as dinosaurs, planets, or the Presidents of the United States.

Children enjoy learning about animals of all kinds and the world around them. We can encourage their interests as they develop.

Early learning is important.

This does not mean forcing very young children to do tasks that are not appropriate for their age.

Reading Matters Programs are essential for early learning

By Mary Gardner Reading Specialist Much attention and many human resources as well as funding have gone in to early childhood programs in recent years.

For example, Preschool for All is a program that was created in Illinois in 2006.

It is focused on serving atrisk children with a variety of options.

Head Start is a federallyfunded program that serves children from birth to age five

and pregnant women. Those who meet income guidelines are eligible for a variety of program options.

This month we’ll look at the importance of early learning to better understand the need for quality preschool programs.

We will also look a bit at what we can do at home to support early learning.

In an article in American Educator titled “Starting Off Strong: The Importance of Early Learning,” Chrys Dougherty, ACT research scientist, writes that research has shown that gaps in learning become evident very early.

Educators now know what skills matter for early learning. More importantly

we know that the sooner a child is given rich instruction to fill any gaps the better.

Catching up becomes harder as children move through the grades. It is important to get them on track in the early grades.

Dougherty continues by reminding us that early learning supports later learning. We know that learning is often cumulative.

Math is an obvious example, but really most learning across grade levels builds on prior learning. It takes time to build knowledge about science and social studies topics.

Literacy skills certainly build as children move through school.

What can we do at home

to build this important foundation?

One thing is to talk with our children.

It sounds simple, but the importance of oral language development is a key to later literacy skills.

Having give-and-take conversations, answering their many questions, and asking them questions are all ways to support oral language.

The importance of reading aloud to our children and grandchildren cannot be underestimated. We need to read to them from a variety of kinds of texts and fill them with the language of books.

Traditional fairy tales and nursery rhymes are excellent ways to teach them about stories.

It means singing, laughing, reading, writing, counting, playing inside and outside, and learning about their world with the adults who love them by their side.

Bell used by Ruby Nash will be displayed Oct. 4 The original school bell from the building where Ruby Nash taught grade school students for 50 years will be displayed on a float in the parade during Autumn on Parade weekend.

The bell dates back to the 1800s, and is presented by the Ogle County Historical Society.

The float will feature Dotti Bowers, Oregon, portraying Ruby Nash.

Andrew Barnhart and Kendra Ehrler, Oregon, along with Garrett and Jakob Moser, Mt. Morris, will represent students from 100 years ago. They will be seated at antique desks from the Chana School Museum.

The float will be pulled by an antique John Deere tractor from the collection of Steve and Kathy Groenhagen, Oregon.

The school bell is one of the many treasures of the past preserved and displayed at the Ogle County Historical Society’s Ruby Nash Home and Museum in Oregon.

Caption: Now residing at the Ruby Nash Home and Museum is the original school bell, dating back to the 1800s, that was in the building where Ruby Nash taught grade school students for 50 years. This bell will be featured on the Ogle County Historical Society’s parade float at AOP.

Cornstalks available after festival The Autumn on Parade Committee is again offering the cornstalks to area residents at the completion of the festival on Sunday evening, Oct. 5.

After 6 p.m. on Sunday, Ogle County residents can remove the cornstalks from the poles. All of the cornstalks must be removed from the pole.

“Please don’t take just the corn,” said festival volunteer Ray Farrey.

Festival volunteers were busy on Sunday putting the cornstalks on light poles in Oregon’s downtown in preparation for the two-day event.

“The cornstalks were donated again this year

by Richard Littlle. The tradition of having cornstalks as a decoration for the annual fall festival has been ongoing for more than 40 years. They indicate that the growing season has ended and it is time to start the harvest,” Farrey said.

He said the cornstalks might aid area residents in making Halloween decorations.

“The stalks work very well to stuff shirts, pants and other garments to make the body of scarecrows, or for any other yard decorations with pumpkins, gourds, and

Student artists display projects For the first time, the Polo Community High School Art Department entered The Next Picture Show’s competition at the Grand Detour Arts Festival on Sept.

14.

Schools in the area send artwork to be judged in three categories: High School, Middle School and an Elementary Division.

Of Polo’s three entries, two won top honors.

In the High School Division, Lana Scholl placed first with her glass composition of a large elephant.

Jake Hanlon placed second in the same division with his self-portrait.

Both students were awarded prizes and money for their efforts.

“Thanks to the parents of the art students for always being supportive and willing to participate in crazy activities I always have these art prodigies doing,” said PCHS art teacher Jamie Harmon. “Also, a big thanks to Marla Hanlon for taking these particular art pieces to Dixon on such short notice.

Its great to have helpful parents!”

bright fall flowers,” he said.

“Again, when removing the cornstalks from a pole, please take all of the stalks not just part of them.”

Autumn on Parade has been organized and operated by volunteers since 1970.

Busy week for seventh grade volleyball team The seventh grade volleyball team from David L Rahn Junior High was in action last week with conference matches against Winnebago and Polo.

They also competed in the Dixon Middle School Round Robin Tournament.

On Sept. 23, the Eagles hosted the Winnebago Indians. Both teams came to play. In what seemed to be a never-ending game one, the Eagles utilized their pass, set and attack well in the 29-27 win.

Elizabeth Villareal had

four service points for the Eagles.

Keeping the momentum, the home team earned a key conference win by defeating the Indians, 25-19 in game two. Katelyn Weber led DLR with six points.

Game three was another close one as Winnebago rebounded to take the final game, 25-21. In the loss, Taylor Wilson scored 12 service points.

On Sept. 25, the Eagles traveled to Polo to take on the Marcos. The listless Eagles missed countless serves as

they dropped game one, 2225. Game two was more of the same for DLR as a Polo server ran off thirteen straight points in the 9-25 loss.

DLR finally came to life in game three and won, 25-14.

Kaitlyn Daub had six Eagle service points.

On Sept. 27, the Eagles participated in the Dixon Tournament.

GenoaKingston was the Eagle’s first opponent. G-K’s strong serving made quick work of DLR, 13-21 and 9-21.

The Amboy match followed. The Eagles were

in this match, keeping things close. Once again, DLR was plagued by missed serves and fell to the Vikings, 18-21 and 19-21.

In the day’s final match, the Eagles faced host Dixon Reagan. Showing some enthusiasm and great teamwork, the Eagles managed to steal one from the home team, 21-15 and 21-18.

Villareal led the Eagles in game one with six service points and Ashley McCormick was tops in game two with six points.

Senior Dominic DeMichele of Freeport Aquin may have played his last high school football game, but his teammates sent him out in grand style Sept. 26 with a 63-40 NUIC Upstate win over previously unbeaten Polo.

“We were playing for number 88 tonight,” said Aquin quarterback Aiden Chang, who passed for 478 yards and six touchdowns.

“We won’t see him (on the field) again.”

DeMichele has been diagnosed with lymphoma cancer and begins chemotherapy this week.

He played most of the game against Polo (4-1) before asking to be taken out in the second half due to fatigue.

“There was a lot of emotion,” Aquin (4-1) coach Todd Kramer said. “Not one kid on this team couldn’t look Dom in the face and say he didn’t give it all. It was a total team effort.”

Three different Aquin players had over 10 catches, including Dean Sopcic with 15 for 237 yards. James Gustafson added 144 on the ground, as the Bulldogs piled up 645 yards of total offense.

“We didn’t play well and they took advantage of our mistakes,” Polo coach Andrew Hofer said. “It’s a learning experience.”

After Chang quickly drove his team for an early score, Brody Grobe found Brad Cavanaugh for a 50-yard touchdown and Polo took its only lead of the game, 8-7.

Grobe pumped faked and found Cavanaugh on the fly pattern.

Using sleight of hand movement, Grobe countered another Aquin touchdown with a 44-yard run to close within 15-14.

In the first seven minutes of the game, the quick-strike

Marcos only took four plays for their two touchdowns and Aquin had 241 yards of offense. It was as if a track meet broke out on a football field.

“It took us a couple series to adjust to their speed,” Kramer said.

A 90-yard pass from Chang to Sopcic on third-and-10 advanced the Bulldog lead to 22-14. Early in the second quarter the Chang-Sopcic combination made it 29-14.

Even though they were winning the field position battle after each kickoff, thanks to Cavanaugh’s toe, Polo would play catch up the rest of the night.

A 44-yard swing pass to Cavanaugh set up a 2-yard Grobe score and Polo closed to within 29-20. Austin Webb then got into the scoring act by taking a pass in the flat from Grobe and racing 35 yards for a touchdown, greatly aided by crushing downfield block

by Juan Dominguez. That made it 36-26, as the Marcos struggled in their extra point attempts most of the game.

Chang was finally shut down on the next possession, as Grobe and Jesse Ditzler had consecutive sacks off a blitzing scheme.

Polo put together a nice drive to start the second half, but Grobe was picked off at the 5-yard line.

Cavanaugh returned the favor by making an acrobatic interception and running it in from 35 yards out to cut the Aquin lead to 36-34.

“That was a big momentum boost,” Hofer said.

Dominguez, who was all over the field on defense for Polo, had 12 tackles, including four for losses.

Grobe added nine stops and Kevin Cheeseman and Dylan Beers had seven each.

Grobe was 12-26 passing for 236 yards. Cavanaugh had over half of those yards on five catches.

Sports Column Love and compassion on display in Polo

By Andy Colbert Reporter On Sept. 26, I ventured to Polo with the intention of covering a football game between the Marcos and Freeport Aquin. It was a very entertaining game, but what stood out most was something that took place off the field.

The love exhibited by the Polo football team and its fans towards an Aquin football player with cancer

was a beautiful example of care and compassion towards one’s fellow human being.

Upon arriving at the field, I was struck by the sea of pink among the Marco faithful.

Fans everywhere were adorned with this universal symbol of support.

The varsity players did their part by wearing pink socks. Like many others in the stands, Polo coach Andrew Hofer wore a pink shirt specifically made up for the game.

Instead of the traditional blue and gold, the stadium was decorated with pink.

Though a hard-fought football game was about to take place, Polo placed a

greater good on the welfare of Dominic DeMichele, the cancer-stricken senior football player from Aquin.

At halftime, the Marco captains presented a gift to DeMichele and his parents.

As fans from both sides shared in the emotionallytouching gesture, I overheard Polo principal Andy Faivre say to anyone in general, “This is worth the price of admission.”

It certainly was Mr. Faivre.

Anytime a spiritual act makes its way into high school sports, it is worthy of our praise.

So, to the good people of Polo everywhere, I salute you.

And, I know many of you are saying prayers for Dominic, as he begins chemotherapy treatments this week. That was about the only thing missing from Friday night’s formal activities.

Could you imagine how powerful that would have been if all of us could have joined in prayer together for Dominic’s health and well being? It would have also been a way to show honor a rival school that covets prayer.

To me, that is the ultimate form of sportsmanship and also affirmation that it is God that does the healing.

All I know that any attempt to improve myself without

spiritual growth and prayer is doomed to failure.

Okay, back to the game.

Aquin was the better team.

Whether that will change come post-season remains to be seen. The one thing that Polo really lacks is a big physical lineman.

Maybe in the off season, you can try to talk the Crandall family from Oregon to move to Polo, so you get their son Matt to finish his senior year as that player.

On second thought, forget that. We really need him at Oregon and we’d hate to see the Crandalls leave anyway.

Andy Colbert Besides, the Marcos should be in great shape anyway healthy, such as the Grobe come 2015. If everyone stays brothers, Polo might enter the season as the No. 1 ranked team in 1A. Besides Brody Grobe and Brad Cavanaugh, the player that impressed me most was lineman Juan Dominguez.

FOR He was a disruptive force to Aquin’s offense.

This week, the NUIC road trip continues for me with the Forreston and Le-Win game.

After seeing Aiden Chang of Aquin shred the Polo pass defense, I’ll be curious to see how Robert DeVries stacks up against Chang.

More importantly, Forreston will finally find out TRAININ where it stacks up against a ATHLETEG quality opponent.

Woman injured in crash A Byron woman was injured Sept. 25 in a twovehicle crash approximately a mile east of Mt. Morris at the intersection of Mud Creek and Rock Roads.

Nicole Heaton, 28, Byron, was eastbound on Mud Creek Road at 3:21 p.m. when

a truck driven by Donta Yocum, 16, Mt. Morris, turned west onto Mud Creek Road from Rock Road, according to Ogle County Sheriff news release.

Heaton’s car struck Yocum’s truck causing both vehicles to spin out in the

roadway.

Heaton was transported

by Mt. Morris ambulance to KSB Hospital, Dixon, with multiple injuries.

Yocum was treated and released at the scene.

The accident remains under investigation.

Nuclear reactor is offline for scheduled maintenance Byron Station’s Unit 2 reactor is offline after 516 consecutive days of providing around-the-clock, carbon-free power.

“The reliable generation from the unit kept air conditioners humming over the summer and helped keep houses warm during the worst of the polar vortex last winter,” said Exelon Nuclear spokesman Paul Dempsey.

Operators at Byron Generating Station took Unit 2 offline Monday morning for scheduled refueling and maintenance activities after an 18-month non-stop run of providing power to northern Illinois and beyond.

The precision work completed over the coming weeks will help ensure another long uninterrupted run for Unit 2.

More than 1,500 additional workers will join the 850 permanent Byron Station employees, providing a temporary boost to the local economy.

Most local motels, restaurants and shops from Rockford to Rochelle see an increase in customers during Byron Station refueling outages.

“The nuclear plant’s two refueling outages this year are a boon to many of our businesses in the area,” said Deanna Mershon, executive director of the Byron Area Chamber of Commerce.

“We are glad for the work that takes place – not only because of increased foot traffic at local businesses, but also because of the continued reliability in regards to power generation for the area.”

Workers at Byron Station will perform more than 10,000 inspections and maintenance activities and do other work that cannot be done while the unit is operating.

This includes replacing about one-third of the unit’s fuel. All of the activities are designed to assure the unit’s

consistent operation when online.

“Approximately 18 months ago we completed a Unit 2 maintenance and refueling outage, and the unit provided carbon-free power every day since,” said Byron Station Site Vice President Russ Kearney. “Now it is time to safely and efficiently perform our outage work that will once again ensure Unit 2 will operate for another 18 months.”

While the unit is down, residents should be aware that one of the cooling towers will not produce any water vapor cloud. This is normal when a unit is taken offline.

Byron’s Unit 1 will continue to supply carbonfree electricity to Exelon customers during the Unit 2 outage. With both units at full power, the site produces almost 2,500 megawatts, enough electricity to power more than 2 million average American homes.

Solid Waste Department 20-year plan is available A draft copy of the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Plan TwentyYear Update is now available for public review at several locations around the county and online.

A 90-day public comment period ending on Dec. 17 will allow members of the public to review and make suggestions on the plan.

The purpose of the solid waste management plan update is to evaluate the recommendations in the existing plan, discuss various waste management options, consider suggestions from

the Citizen’s Advisory Committee, and to propose new recommendations for the Twenty-Year Update to the Ogle County Board.

These recommendations will include plans for waste reduction, recycling, and final disposal of waste generated in Ogle County.

The Solid Waste Planning and Recycling Act requires each Illinois County to prepare, adopt and implement 20-year municipal waste management plans.

Under this law, the plans must also be updated and reviewed every five years.

Copies of the TwentyYear Update are available for viewing at all of the public libraries, village and city halls, and at each of the township halls in Ogle County.

An electronic version of the draft plan is also available on the OCSWMD website at http://oglecounty.org/ departments/solid-wastemanagement/news-events/ solid-waste-plan-update/.

Hazardous waste disposal event Oct. 18 in Oregon

By Reita Nicholson Administrative Assistant Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department The Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department (OCSWMD), in partnership with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), is sponsoring a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event on Saturday, Oct. 18, at 421 W. Pines Rd., Oregon.

This event will be held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Household hazardous waste can be a big problem hiding in a small container.

These items are unsafe to have around children and pets, may be a fire hazard, leak, or degrade their containers over time, and pollute our environment if not managed properly.

This event guarantees proper management of hazardous waste in a safe

and environmentally friendly manner.

It has been over eight years since the IEPA and OCSWMD have had such an event, so residents are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity.

Items which will be collected include: oilbased paints, paint thinners, herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, old gasoline, pool chemicals, cleaning products, mercury, household

and lead–acid batteries, used motor oil, drain cleaners, lawn chemicals, antifreeze, solvents, aerosol paints, fluorescent lamp bulbs, old and out dated medicines, and pharmaceuticals.

The following items will not be accepted: explosives, fireworks, agricultural chemicals, electronics, fire extinguishers, propane tanks, farm machinery oil, smoke detectors, needles or sharps, business or industrial wastes,

or controlled substances.

In addition to the household hazardous waste collection, a separate area will be devoted to accepting textiles and other items for reuse or recycling.

This collection is being coordinated with the Village of Progress and Serenity Hospice and Home and will accept wearable clothing, linens, paired shoes, belts, and purses. Do not bring torn or worn out clothes, uniforms, pillows, rugs,

draperies, boots, flip flops, or heels over one 1 inch. These donations are tax deductible.

Residents are asked to look around the garage, closets, under the sink, and in the medicine cabinets and help protect their families and the environment by managing these hazardous wastes safely and responsibly.

For more information, call the OCSWMD at 815732-4020 or visit www. oglecounty.org.

FIRE SAFETY TIPS Every year fires kill more people in the United States than all natural disasters combined. Tragically, many of these deaths and injuries could have been prevented with safety precautions. Protect yourself and your family from harm by taking these simple measures: • • • • • • • • • •

Install smoke alarms outside sleeping areas and on each floor of your home and test them regularly.

Keep fire extinguishers near places prone to fires, like stoves and fireplaces, and know how to use them.

Eliminate electrical hazards, like overloaded outlets and frayed electrical cords.

Have chimneys professionally inspected and cleaned each year.

Use ashtrays to extinguish cigarettes and don’t smoke in bed.

Take extra care around fireplaces and space heaters.

Store flammable liquids in labeled metal containers away from heat sources Be careful when cooking, turning pot handles inward and unplugging appliances when not in use.

Store matches, lighters and flammable materials out of children’s reach.

Plan an escape route, with two ways to get out of every room in your home, and practice it often with your family.

Assessments 2014 Public Notice This will affect your 2014 real estate taxes

NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS 2014 Assessment Publication List Following is a list of all property assessment changes made by the township assessor, and/or approved or revised by the supervisor of assessments of Ogle County.

Under the authority of 35 ILCS 200/9-210 (Illinois Compiled Statutes), notice is hereby given that the following equalization factors (or “multipliers”) have been applied to certain categories of properties in the Ogle County townships listed below:

Notice is also given pursuant to 35 ILCS 200/9-210 that equalization factors (or ‘multipliers’) may be added to non-farm classes of property to bring each township’s threeyear average level of assessments to 33 1/3% of market value. Township equalization factors are determined by the Illinois Department of Revenue’s sales ratio study for Ogle County. Sale prices of real estate are compared to their assessed values, and the resulting assessment levels are calculated. Changes by the township assessor are taken into account, and the equalization factors determined bring the township average to the statutory 33 1/3% of market value. Pursuant to Public Act 88-321, individual notices will not be sent on properties with assessment changes due to equalization alone.

For all non-farm property: Your property is to be assessed at the median level of assessments for your township. You may check the accuracy of your assessment by dividing your assessed value by the median level of assessments. The resulting value should equal the estimated fair cash value of your property. If the resulting value is greater than the estimated fair cash value of your property, you may be over-assessed. If the resulting value is less than the fair cash value of your property, you may be under-assessed. Assessments of non-farm property are required to be at 33 1/3% of fair cash value. The assessed values shown are subject to revision and/or equalization by the Ogle County Board of Review and the Illinois Department of Revenue.

Farmland assessments: Assessed values of farmland for 2014 conform to Illinois Department of Revenue guidelines, and are based on “Bulletin 810” soil data and productivity ratings.

Your township assessor can provide details on how your assessed value was determined.

Taxpayers who consider their property incorrectly assessed may appeal their assessments to the Ogle County Board of Review, Ogle County Courthouse, Oregon, IL. All appeals must be filed with the Ogle County Board of Review within 30 days of the date of this publication. These 2014 assessed values will be reflected on real estate tax bills issued in 2015. If you believe your assessed value is incorrect, you must file appeal within this 30 day period to have any effect on your next tax bill. The deadline to file appeal is 11/03/2014.

All farm land assessments are increased by 10% from their 2013 level, pursuant to Illinois Department of Revenue’s 2014 farmland assessment certification, and approved by the Ogle County Farmland Assessment Review Committee.

Pursuant to Public Act 88-321, individual notices will not be mailed on properties with assessment changes due to equalization alone. The factors shown are determined by the Illinois Department of Revenue’s most recent sales-to-assessment ratio study, and take into consideration any assessment changes made by the assessor. These factors bring the average assessment level in the townships to 33 1/3% of market value, and they will be applied to certain categories of assessed value shown on the most recent real estate tax bill.

If you believe your property is over-assessed, you may file an appeal within 30 days of this publication. The deadline to file an appeal of the 2014 assessment is November 3, 2014.

Astrograph Keep your composure Thursday, October 2, 2014 Avoid making rash decisions.

Don’t commit your time or services to anyone without first finding out what the job entails.

Estimates and guesswork will derail your plans. Get all the facts and work out the costs before you decide to make a change.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t allow anyone to manipulate you or blame you for their shortcomings. Jealousy and frustration will lead to hard feelings among your peers.

Stand up for yourself and your achievements.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Let the voice of experience be your guide. If you are feeling uneasy regarding your direction, talk with someone you trust.

You will gain insight if you ask questions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Travel and fraught communications are likely.

Don’t let personal problems interfere with your productivity at work. Keeping everything in perspective will be fundamental if you want to get ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Focus on making money and/or strategic enhancements to

your financial portfolio. Avoid excessive displays of emotion.

Maintain a calm demeanor in order to discourage anyone trying to make you look or feel inferior.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A little self-indulgence can be a good thing if you don’t bust your budget. An outing to a theatrical, sporting or musical event will lift your spirits and provide some healthy recreation.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Decide what will bring you closer to your goal. Furthering your education, increasing your contacts or improving your networking methods will help raise your profile.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Keep your composure. Some awkward situations are bound to unfold. Handle whatever comes your way with grace and good humor. Losing your temper will only make matters worse.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Love, laughter and romance will fill your day. Take someone special on a day trip so you can relax, rejuvenate and get to know each other better.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- An effective way to increase your networking prospects is to participate in worthy organizations or humanitarian events. You’ll improve your odds of meeting someone interesting and influential.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Money matters will surface.

Collect an old debt and make financial changes that will protect your assets and help your bank account grow. Document your plans and put them in motion.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Don’t brood over past events.

Share some laughs with close friends or relatives, and move forward. Life is a series of changes; some good, some bad.

Make the most of today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- With self-discipline, you will be able to check off a lot of items on your to-do list. Listen to other people’s points of view. You can expect opposition if you try to dominate.

©2014 UFS
