BUILDING UPDATE

New jail on schedule work and cost-wise Building slated to be done in fall of 2020

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com Construction of Ogle County’s new jail, officially known as the Judicial Center Annex, is on schedule workwise and cost-wise.

County board chairman Kim Gouker, of Byron, gave an update on the $23.5 million project to a group of about 20 people who attended Those Were the Days at the Oregon Depot on Saturday morning.

Heavy rain and wet conditions plagued construction at the beginning, he said.

“The ground-breaking [on April 10] was an omen,” Gouker joked. “I welcomed everyone to our mud-breaking.”

Some of the concrete poured early on had to be redone after water flowed underneath the gravel base.

“We put in deeper fill as a result,” he said.

The project was first estimated at $25 to $28 million, and the first design from the architects for a three-story building put it at $30 million.

“I said no, that’s not going to work.

I can’t take that back to the county board or to the public,” Gouker said.

As a result, the architects came up with a single-story design that brought the cost down considerably.

“I hope to end up in the $22 million range,” he said.

The 41,700 square-foot facility will have 152 beds for male and female inmates.

Some single cells are included in the design, but most cells will house four or eight prisoners, Gouker said. A large dormitory cell will hold 40 beds.

Construction plans call for the walls and roof to be in place by winter so that crews can work on the inside during cold weather.

The project is expected to be completely in the fall of 2020 with inmates moved in the following spring, Gouker said.

The exterior will be designed to closely match the Judicial Center, to which it will be connected by a large sally port and enclosed passageway for the secure transfer of inmates into the jail, as well as from the jail to courtrooms.

The 100 block of South Sixth Street has been permanently closed to allow for that.

The new jail is the final step in the county’s 20-year capital plan, Gouker said.

Photo by Vinde Wells BELOW: Construction of the facility is on schedule and on budget. This drawing shows the north side with the judicial center at the left.

“All this started in 1998 over parking around the courthouse,” he said.

The shortage of parking spaces led the county board to form a Long Range Planning Committee, and in 2000 the plan was approved to buy and remodel a building on Pines Road to house several departments that had been located in four buildings across Fifth Street from the courthouse.

The four buildings were then raised to make way for the judicial center completed in 2005. The courthouse was remodeled in 2010, and the new public

safety building was built in 2014.

All of the building projects have been paid for with funds that come from the host fees paid by waste handling companies to dump at the landfills within the county.

Gouker said all that remains once the new jail is completed is to raze the old one, built in 1967 and attached to the courthouse.

“The final step is to remove that ugly jail,” he said. “Hopefully that will restore that beautiful 1891 courthouse.”

SPECIAL EVENT

Union Pacific engine stops in Rochelle

BY EARLEEN HINTON ehinton@oglecountynews.com

People film and take photos of the 4014 Union Pacific steam engine as it arrives at the Rochelle Railroad Park on Tuesday morning.

An estimated 3,000 people turned out to see the train. Photo by Earleen Hinton westbound UP lines to the cheers of onlookers.

“Ever since I was three years old I loved trains,” said Ellison. “I used to build trains out of Legos.”

Meanwhile, Jerry Hinrichs, 72, of Oregon, was casually walking along the viewing platform as others listened to their portable scanners to

Some came because they love trains. Others came because they especially love steam engines. And some came just because it was a nice day.

That was the vibe from the estimated 3,000 visitors who flocked to the Rochelle Railroad Park on Tuesday morning to see the Union Pacific’s Big Boy No. 4014 steam engine.

“I went to Utah back in May to see it,” said James Ellison, 27, a train enthusiast from Logansport, Indiana. “I saw on the schedule that it was coming to Rochelle and I thought that would be good way to see it and bring my parents along and have some fun.”

Ellison was in his element on Tuesday morning as the steam engine, dubbed as one of the world’s biggest and most powerful steam locomotives, arrived on one of the

• BIG BOY Continued from Page 3 try and pick up train chatter on Big Boy’s ETA. “No I’m not a train guy. It was just a nice day, but there sure is a huge crowd here,” he said.

Big Boy left West Chicago around 8 a.m. and arrived at the railroad park around 10:25 a.m., not quite on schedule, but that didn’t matter to most camera-phone ready viewers.

“I can hear it coming now,” said one expert chaser. “It’s about a mile out.”

As the large, black behemouth chugged to a stop, the crowd rushed to its side snapping photos and taking videos.

Rochelle Police Officers, Ogle County Deputies, and Union Pacific Police made sure excited visitors

didn’t get too close to the train.

“We don’t know for sure how many people are here, but someone from the Union Pacific estimated the crowd at 3,000,” said Rochelle Police Chief Eric Higby.

The merchandise shop at the park was packed with people buying or looking at train-related items. The official 4014 T-Shirt sold out before the train left, but park officials said they are ordering more and should have them in a couple of weeks.

After leaving Rochelle, the train passed through Ashton, Franklin Grove, Dixon, and Sterling en route to its next stop in Clinton, Iowa.

The train’s trek is part of Union Pacific’s celebration of the 150th anniversary of completion of the Transcontinental Railroad through Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

At 133 feet long, the steam engine

is longer than two city buses and weighs more than a Boeing 747, with enough power to pull 16 Statutes of Liberty over a mountain range.

Big Boy steam locomotives were used to haul freight between Wyoming and Utah in the 1940s and 50s.

Of the 25 engines built, only eight remain, and only the 4014 is operational.

And how did Big Boy’s appearance rate in Rochelle?

“It was definitely worth it,” Ellison said smiling.

COUNTY BOARD

Byron man appointed as new zoning administrator

The Ogle County Board appointed a Byron man as the next county planning and zoning administrator during a special meeting on July 30.

Harry Adams Jr., 34, was chosen from a field of three applicants to replace Mike Reibel, who is stepping down on Aug. 30.

Adams is a farmer and also manages a construction firm.

Board chairman Kim Gouker said Adams was chosen because of his professional experience.

“The advantage is he has been involved in zoning on the customer side rather than the government side,” he said.

The board has not yet chosen a replacement for Supervisor of Assessments Jim Harrison who retired Dec. 31.

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com

several months before their June 1 opening and had been told everything was in order.

“We’ve been working with the health department,” she said.

“We’ve done everything they asked us to.”

Then three days before their opening, health department officials told them the food permit could not be issued because of the well.

Stombaugh said the sticking point seems to be 1990 state regulations that require the well and septic to be farther apart.

However, she said state health department officials and their attorney told them they were grandfathered because the situation was in existence before that law was passed.

Besides that, she said, tests of the water from the well show no problems.

“Our water tests have been fine,” Stombaugh said.

Health department administrator Kyle Auman confirmed that the well is too close to the septic system, and added, “That’s only one of the issues.”

He said he cannot discuss the situation in depth.

“I can’t go into detail because it’s an ongoing issue and potentially a legal matter,” he said.

“I understand this is Sledgehammers’ position. In this case there is no ability to be ‘grandfathered,’” he said. “The Ogle County Health Department has communicated this directly with the owners and informed them of the next steps in the process. The health department will continue to work with Sledgehammers to ensure the public’s health and safety.”

Auman said businesses that serve food and liquor must adhere to federal, state, and local regulations, and several steps must be followed and inspections done before permits can be issued.

“We are enforcing the state law.

Public health laws are put into effect based on science and ways to prevent the spread of food-borne illnesses,” he said. “We ask restaurants to follow these regulations to prevent outbreaks.”

The owners of a newly-opened Oregon restaurant and bar may have to shut down their brand new kitchen temporarily due to an ongoing battle with the Ogle County Health Department.

Jason and Heather Stombaugh, owners of Sledgehammers at 1450 N. Illinois 2, took to social media last week to let customers know the “real reason” behind their limited menu selections.

The couple said in their online post that health department officials will not give them the permit they need because of issues with their well.

“The real reason why we have had such a small menu was due to strict regulations from the Ogle County Health Department because of a code rule claiming our well needs to be 200 feet away from the septic.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with our water but they seem to work off of a ‘what if scenario’ even though this was a restaurant for 50 years with the exact same system,” the post reads.

Currently, the post said the health department will issue them only a two-week permit for food, instead of the one-year permit that would allow them to serve a full menu.

They are allowed to serve only five items and those are dictated by health department officials, the post said.

“It has hurt us in so many ways so we have finally gotten to the point we will have to shut down our kitchen temporarily until we can purchase a new well and move it to a different location to their standards,” the post reads.

Heather Stombaugh said Monday that they decided to explain their side of the dilemma because they are losing business.

“We wanted to get it out there. A lot of people have been upset that we have such a short menu and have walked out,” she said.

She said drilling a new well is not something they can afford to do after just sinking all their financial resources into getting their business up and running.

Stombaugh said they started working with the health department

LOCAL HISTORY

Son of former slaves a successful businessman Editor’s note: Otto Dick, Oregon, has researched the people, places, and events important in the Oregon area’s history for the Ogle County Historical Society. The following is one of a series of the articles he has written.

BY OTTO DICK Thomas Goings, the son of former slave Henry, left his footprints in Oregon.

His footprints are an impressive two-story brick building on North Fourth Street with a sign located above the stairway entrance, that says Goings 1895 and an impressive Goings Monument in Riverside Cemetery.

Thomas’ father Henry, his wife Flora E. Williams and her brother Seister Williams and his wife Lucresia are buried at Riverside.

Thomas is not buried at Riverside.

In 1908 he sold his building and moved to a farm in Missouri.

Before I continue with the Thomas Goings story, it is necessary to remember the horrors of slavery in the U.S. that his father Henry endured.

Slavery existed in the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries after the country gained independence and before the end of the Civil War. Slavery was practiced in early colonial days and was legal in all 13 colonies at the time of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

The United States was divided over the issue of slavery. The free states and slave states were divided by the Mason Dixon Line.

The treatment of slaves in the United States varied depending on conditions, times and places.

Slave masters and overseers used physical punishments to impose their wills.

Slaves were punished by whipping, shackling, hanging, beating, burning, mutilation, branding, and imprisonment.

ABOVE: Thomas Goings’ father Henry is pictured in this old photo. TOP RIGHT: Thomas Goings’ building is on North Fourth Street near the intersection of Washington and Fourth Streets in downtown Oregon. BOTTOM RIGHT: This newspaper ad is for Thomas Goings’ livery business which was located next to the Sinnissippi Hotel. Photos supplied by Otto Dick Treatment was usually harsher on large plantations, which were often managed by overseers and owned by absentee slaveholders.

It is reported that on one plantation, slave men were required to pick 80 pounds per day of cotton, while women were required to pick 70 pounds.

If the slave fell short they were subject to whip lashes for each pound they were short at the whipping post located next to the cotton scales.

When Abraham Lincoln won the 1860 election on a platform of halting the expansion of slavery, according to the 1860 U. S. census roughly 400,000 individuals representing eight percent of all families, owned nearly 4,000,000 slaves.

Shortly after Lincoln’s election six states seceded from the Union. After the Civil War slavery ceased as an institution in December of 1865.

Back to the Thomas Goings story — he was born in Williamsport, Maryland on Jan. 10, 1845.

His mother was a slave at this time and died when he was six months old. He was cared for by a black free woman Mrs. Isaac Crawford who brought him to Ogle County in 1848.

He was brought up in Mt. Morris and received his education in the public schools.

After working on a farm, he moved to Oregon in 1862.

He worked at a stable connected with a stage line owned by William Moore.

Four years later he launched a

livery business and managed and trained trotting horses.

In 1868 he went to California caring for a carload of horses and in the spring took two carloads of horses to California and remained there for four years.

He again returned to Oregon and managed trotting horses and the livery business.

It’s amazing his parents were both freed slaves.

His mother died when he was six months old. He was brought to Mt. Morris when he was three years old, moved to Oregon, and was a well-respected citizen and businessman.

He definitely left his footprint in Oregon. He was a remarkable man.

SPECIAL EVENT Ten new straw sculpture to be featured at 4th annual StrawFest in Mt. Morris The fourth annual U.S. National Straw Sculpting Competition, sponsored by Encore! Mt. Morris, opens Friday, Aug. 9 at 6 p.m. in downtown Mt. Morris.

Ten new straw sculptures are coming to the Mt. Morris campus square for another presentation of Fine Art in Straw.

The sculptures will be on display for public viewing every day through Sunday, Aug. 25.

This year’s competition will be judged for two

Details and information on all the events is available online at StrawUSA.com.

OREGON CITY COUNCIL

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com In preparation for a new state law, Oregon City Council members got an idea what 30 grams of cannabis looks like last week.

Mayor Ken Williams passed around a plastic sandwich bag July 23 filled with leaves from a bush growing wild behind the city hall.

He said he had asked Police Chief Darin DeHaan to prepare the bag of leaves to show commissioners and those attending the meeting what the legal limit will look like.

The Illinois General Assembly recently passed, and Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed, a law that will allow Illinoisans who are 21 or older to legally possess 30 grams (about one ounce) of cannabis for recreational use. The law takes effect on Jan. 1, 2020.

Williams told the council he wants

The state law will make it legal to smoke in one’s own home and on-site in some cannabis-related businesses.

However, use will be prohibited in any public place, such as streets or parks; in motor vehicles; on school grounds, with the exception of medical users; near someone under the age of 21; and near an on-duty school bus driver, police officer, firefighter, or corrections officer.

In another matter, the council approved splitting the cost of a quarter-million dollar street sweeper between two funds.

Finance Commissioner Terry Schuster recommended equally dividing the $246,000 for a new Elgin sweeper between the Street Bridge Fund and the Water & Sewer Fund.

“Both those funds have a healthy balance in savings,” he said.

Schuster said that while the sweeper appears to be a Street Department purchase, funds for it can be taken from the Water & Sewer Fund because the sweeper keeps debris from entering storm sewers.

Williams said the purchase was budgeted and will not increase property taxes or water rates.

The council approved the purchase from Standard Equipment, Aurora, on July 9.

Schuster said the new sweeper will be delivered in late October.

Until then the old one will be used.

In other business, DeHaan said the police department is seeking a replacement for officer Steve Mattas, who resigned effective July 26 to take a position with the St. Charles Police Department.

“We can’t compete with what they pay,” DeHaan said.

them to begin working immediately on city ordinances governing cannabis use and sales so that they will be in place when the new state law kicks in.

He asked the council to consider where and when recreational cannabis use will be allowed, and if cannabis-based businesses will be allowed in the city, and if so, where and which types.

“We want public input on this,” Williams said.

Cannabis sales could bring an estimated $30,000 annually into city coffers, he said.

Medical marijuana dispensaries will be the only legal sellers of marijuana for recreational use at first, but by mid-2020, the state is expected grant additional licenses to new stores, processors, cultivators, and transporters.

CLUB NEWS

Byron Rotary collects tabs for Ronald McDonald House The Rotary Club of Byron announces a new service project – collecting can tabs to raise money for Ronald McDonald House.

Area bars and restaurants are saving can tabs in special buckets provided by Rotary; when full, the buckets will be collected and sent to recycling stations.

All funds are donated to Ronald McDonald Houses in the Chicago suburbs and in Madison that serve families from this area whose seriously ill or injured children are receiving medical treatment at nearby hospitals.

Participating Byron businesses include Spanky’s, Weezy’s, the CAVE, Second Chance, Aero and Uptown Lanes.

Other area business that serve canned beverages are welcome to participate by calling 815-234-2231 or emailing byronrotaryclub@ gmail.com.

RMD Houses nationwide provide lodging and private bathrooms, home-cooked meals, and children’s playrooms for families whose Rotary Club of Byron President Kay King, left, and former president budgets are strained by medical costs.

Emily Porter deliver can tab buckets to area businesses to help raise Families who cannot afford to pay stay for funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities. Photo supplied free; donations up to $25 per night are sug-

gested for families who can afford it.

“The serious medical condition of a child is not only emotionally challenging but can be financially devastating, as well,” Byron Rotary President Kay King said. “Helping to defray the costs of lodging is one way communities can help support young families during the most difficult times in their lives.”

Under current aluminum recycling prices, it takes approximately 150 pounds of tabs to pay for one 24-hour stay at a RMD House.

A large zip-lock bag holds just over a pound of tabs; 1,267 tabs equals one pound.

“It may not seem like this effort makes a big impact,” Rotary member Betsy Floski said. “However, some communities have paid for as many as 80 nights of lodging for families; those donations allow RMD Houses to expand their offerings to include art therapy rooms, video stations and other activities for their guests. As an added bonus, it’s a green project, which is one focus of Rotary clubs.”

PUBLIC VOICE Park District’s Sprint volunteers and sponsors thanked Dear Editor, I would like to thank everyone who participated, volunteered, and helped to make the 10th annual Oregon Park District Sprint and third annual Super Sprint Triathlon a success.

One hundred and fifty-two participants total came out for a warm morning to enjoy the park district’s pool and Oregon for running and biking.

The event could not happen without over 50 volunteers that came out early to put on this premier event.

The park district is fortunate that many staff, families, friends, commissioners and community members volunteer step up to volunteer and allow the park district to put on many special events throughout the year.

Jena Wehmhoefer Triathlon Coordinator Oregon Park District

Dear Editor, Every time we have an event in our barn, we are humbled by the generosity and support from everyone.

We had many in awe of what they saw, we had the curious, we had the die-hard shoppers, and we had our regulars that just love coming to sales.

This was the first “Jack of all Trades and Jill’s Too!” barn sale that attracted many for a two-day sale.

It was a success for many reasons but most importantly because all money raised was donated to Serenity Hospice and Home, our gem in the country.

Please watch for the next sale in September for Serenity. You will be pleased.

And thank you, again, for supporting our fundraisers.

In appreciation, Karen Virnoche and James Brown Oregon

Kyle Lacy and Harlem River Noise to play Aug. 9 New York City rockabilly artists Kyle Lacy and the Harlem River Noise will return to the Mt. Morris Jamboree at the Reckmeyer Band Shell on Friday, Aug. 9 with a free two-hour concert starting at 7 pm.

“Kyle Lacy and his band conjures up a potion taking you home to the roots of 1950’s rock ‘n’ roll while creating something fresh and bluesy - think Buddy Holly meets Gary Clark Jr.,” said event organizer Larry Ubben. “Armed with an elegantly raucous voice, a 50s grit guitar style and a keen knack for ‘in the moment’ lyrical honesty, Kyle uses his hepcat showmanship to keep his audience grooving down to the last beat.”

The band features Lacy on vocals and guitar, Cody Gibson playing upright bass, Boyce Griffith on tenor sax and Jesse Chevan on drums.

“Their wild rockabilly show is packed with foot stomping rockabilly, blues, and originals that get a crowd on its feet, dancing, and interacting with them. This high-energy show will make the folks want to stick around and keep dancing,” Ubben said.

Starting at 6 p.m., the Mt. Morris Firefighter’s Association will serve walking tacos with all the toppings.

Drinks will include Pepsi products, water and Berryview Orchard’s aro-

IN NATURE

BY EARLEEN HINTON ehinton@oglecountynews.com Butterflies were the main attraction of the Northwest Illinois Audubon Society’s Elkhorn Creek Butterfly Festival on July 27, but one volunteer made sure all the other inhabitants of the preserve also got their day in the sun, so to speak.

A few monarchs flew by the group on a blustery warm day making sure to avoid several children who held their butterfly nets at the ready.

Their misses gave tour leader John Walt, of Dakota, plenty of time to talk about all the other native plants and insects that make the Elkhorn Creek Biodiversity Preserve their home. “Here is Queen Anne’s Lace,�

Walt said as he displayed the cluster of white blossoms to the group. “And this is wild grape and as you can see a Japanese beetle has eaten most of it making it pretty much useless to the plant.�

Around 75 people attended this year’s free event.

Located southwest of Forreston and north of Polo, the 43-acre site is home to several remnant hillside prairies, some wetland features, and a portion of Elkhorn Creek.

Grasses such as big bluestem and little bluestem in addition to milkweeds, wild bergamot (bee balm), spiderwort, and coneflowers are just some of the forbs and grasses on the site.

Volunteers are busy working to restore and re-create native communities. Individuals are welcome to participate in various management tasks including seed collecting and planting, weed suppression, wood cutting, and prescribed burning.

Many species of wildlife occur in the habitat with 450 species recorded including 130 species of birds, 77 species of insects, and 201 species of plants.

The Elkhorn Creek Biodiversity Preserve is located three miles southwest of Forreston in the southwest corner of West Grove and Freeport Roads.

SPORT MEETS HISTORY

Are you ready for a blast to/from the past?

Oregon team headed to 17th Annual World Tournament of Historic Base Ball

BY EARLEEN HINTON ehinton@oglecountynews.com

History buffs and baseball enthusiasts could have a win-win in their future Aug. 10-11 at the 17th Annual World Tournament of Historic Base Ball.

And fans willing to make the trip to Dearborn, Michigan, can also cheer on a local team — the Oregon Ganymedes who play for the “love of the game.”

“We are guys who love playing base ball the way it’s supposed to be played,” said Tim Strohecker, 41, of Oregon.

In 2018, the Ganymedes vintage base ball club won the 3rd Class Division at the 16th Annual World Tournament of Historic Base Ball (spelled as two words until the 1900s), held on the Walnut Grove fields at the Henry Ford Museum/Greenfield Village.

Twelve teams from four states (Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois) squared off against each other playing 1867 rules to commemorate the original “World’s Base Ball Tournament” held in Detroit, Michigan, 152 years ago.

The Ganymedes play 1858 rules during their regular season, but follow 1867 rules at the tournament. 1867 rules include stealing bases and requiring players to catch fly balls in the air instead of letting them bounce once to register as an out.

After a slow start at the tournament in 2018, the Ganymedes rallied the second day and qualified for the championship game where they beat the Fallasburg Flats from Lowell, Michigan, 15-12 earning a return trip to the tournament in 2019.

“Our hitting finally came alive in that game,” said Mark Herman who founded the team in 2005 and has served as its captain for every season since.

His wife, Debbie, is the team’s equipment manager, statistician, and photographer.

The tournament is played on the fields in the

Spectators are encouraged to make the trio, Photo by Earleen Hinton Greenfield Village, part of The Henry Ford Museum.

Players and spectators can experience a trip back in time with players shaking hands after good plays, stopping the game to wave their hats as the Edison steam-engine train passes by the fields, shouting “well held” after good catches, and politely asking the lone umpire for a ‘judgment sir’ after close plays.

Newcomer Tyler Grant, 21, of Byron, soaked up the experience of the 2018 tournament.

“I think it is pretty cool to see how baseball has evolved. I would definitely recommend it,” said Grant who played modern-day baseball for Byron High School and Rock Valley College. “When

Rochelle Veterinary Hospital

my dad first told me that there were no gloves I was like ‘eeww’.

When they say ‘body the ball’ they really mean it.”

Sandy Strohecker, Tim’s mom, was one of 13 fans who made the trip in 2018 to watch the team.

“It’s just a fun family weekend,” she said.

In addition to winning the 2018 3rd Class Championship trophy, the team also won the Furthest Traveled Award and Herman garnered the Finest Captain Award.

“We will be starting off this year’s World Tournament playing the always talented Saginaw Old

“The Old Golds have won the overall tournament championship six times in the last 10 years.

“This is the first time that we have had the opportunity to play them as the brackets never matched up with us over the past four years. This should be a fun way to start this great tournament,” Herman said.

CHILD CARE

NO INDIVIDUAL, unless licensed or holding a permit as a childcare facility, may cause to be published any advertisement soliciting a child care service.* A childcare facility that is licensed or operating under a permit issued by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services may publish advertisements of the services for which it is lispecifically censed or issued a permit. Sauk Valley Media strongly urges any parent or guardian to verify the validity of the license of any facility before placing a child in it's care. *Family homes that care for no more than three (3) children under the age of twelve or which receive only children from a single household, for less than 24 hours per day, are exempt from licensure as day care homes.

The three children to whom this exemption applies includes the family's natural or adopted children and any other persons under the age of 12 whether related or unrelated to the operator of the day care home. (DCFS Rule, Part 377.3 (c))
