Weather, rides brought crowd to fair

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com

By Monday morning, the 166th Ogle County Fair was a pleasant memory — for all but a few.

Fair board president Harlan Holm was one of around 20 faithful volunteers who were still at the now-deserted fairgrounds wrapping things up for another year.

“We’ve got a good crew out here and we don’t have a lot more to do,” he said shortly after noon.

The group spent the morning cleaning barns, picking up garbage, and putting away gates and other equipment until next year.

Holm expressed satisfaction with the five-day event.

“The fair went great,” he said. “It almost had to — we had perfect weather.”

Mother Nature certainly did her best — skies were blue, temperatures ranged from the high 70s to mid 80s, and the humidity stayed low for the entire event which ran from July 31 through Aug. 4.

Although Holm did not yet have the final tallies about how many people came, it was clear from the gate receipts that attendance was up from last year when an estimated 18,500 turned out.

“The income at the gate was higher every day than last year,” he said.

He attributed part of that to the unlimited carnival rides included in the $8 per

person gate admission, something the fair has offered for several years.

“We had more calls than usual this year from people who live outside the county asking about the free rides,” Holm said. “It’s catching on. We’re trying to keep our fair priced so a family can come and have a great time. We want them to still have smiles on their faces when they leave.”

The always popular demolition derby on Saturday evening brought the biggest crowd — about 1,500 people.

Another well-attended event was the

Pirates of the Colombian Caribbean, a free ground show featuring high wire acts and sword fights 25 feet in the air.

“We’ve had a lot of positive comments on the pirate show,” Holm said.

The fair began with a queen contest on Wednesday and included tractor pulls on Wednesday and Thursday, a rodeo on Friday, as well as the 4-H show, open and junior shows, and exhibits.

“The 4-H kids are great,” Holm said.

“They work hard and walk around the grounds smiling. It’s all about the kids — that’s why we do it.”

MT. MORRIS FIRE

Two homes damaged, garage destroyed by fire

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com Two Mt. Morris homes were damaged and a garage was destroyed July 30 in an afternoon blaze that started when a snowmobile caught fire.

Mt. Morris Fire Chief Rob Hough said the fire at 203 and 205 W. Hitt St. has been ruled accidental. The Illinois State Fire Marshal assisted with the investigation.

Hough said Brandon Taylor, who lives at 205 W. Hitt St., was working inside the garage on a newly acquired snowmobile when it caught fire.

The flames quickly spread to his home, which is owned by Matt Merrill, and to the nearby home of Alice Cross at 203 W. Hitt St. The fire was reported at 4:08 p.m. and firefighters arrived on the scene less than five minutes later to find the garage totally ablaze and live electrical wires

on the ground. “The fire had extended to a vehicle in the driveway and both the residence at 205 as well as the neighboring residence at 203, which is in close proximity to the garage,� Hough said. “We were faced with additional tactical challenges as the incoming overhead electrical service to both residences had burned through and had dropped across Hitt Street. Those lines were still hot and actively arcing, limiting apparatus placement and hose line deployments initially.�

Hitt Street (Illinois 64) was closed to traffic from Wesley Avenue to Reynolds Avenue for several hours.

Both houses are uninhabitable, Hough said, and two vehicles, one on the garage and one in the driveway, also sustained heavy damage.

Oregon, Polo, Forreston, Byron, Stillman, and Dixon Rural Fire Departments assisted at the scene.

OGLE COUNTY COURTS

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com A Davis Junction man pleaded not guilty in Ogle County Court last week to embezzling several thousand dollars from the Oregon VFW Post while he was its commander.

Rusty Barnes, 48, also demanded a jury trial at a preliminary hearing July 31 before Judge John B. Roe. Barnes faces seven counts of felony theft for incidents that occurred from June 20,

2016 to Jan. 18, 2018.

He has been charged with five counts of theft of between $500 and $10,000, Class 3 felonies, and two counts of theft of between $10,000 and $100,000, Class 2 felonies.

Ogle County State’s Attorney Eric Morrow said the investigation indicates that Barnes took from $10,000 to $100,000 from the post during his time as its commander.

Barnes became post commander in June of 2016 and resigned the following January.

He was arrested on June 27, and his

bond was originally set at $10,000.

During a court appearance June 28, Roe released Barnes on a recognizance bond.

According to court documents, Roe modified his bond conditions at the July 31 hearing to allow him to travel to Iowa and New Jersey as necessary to deal with family medical issues.

A pretrial conference is set for Sept. 23.

A Class 2 felony carries a penalty of 3 to 7 years in prison, and a Class 3 is punishable by 2 to 5 years in prison.

LOCAL HISTORY

Life of H.A. Mix was both successful and tragic 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 Henry Augustus Mix built his Oregon footprint at 100 S. 10th St. in the 1850s.

He was born at Grand Isle, Vermont, on Sept. 21, 1816.

After receiving an education at the local school he studied Civil Engineering at a nearby college in Moscow, Vermont.

In 1841 he attended law school in Cambridge, Massachusetts, receiving his diploma.

After receiving his diploma he moved west to Ohio and then to Oregon where his eldest brother Dr. William J. Mix had established a medical practice.

Henry opened a law office in Oregon where there was only a store or two, a post office, an elementary school, and a few log or frame houses.

He established a brick factory north of Oregon. Bricks for the first Ogle County Jail and his house (which is still standing today) were molded in his brick factory.

Henry and Emerson were the builders of the Sinnissippi Hotel in Oregon.

He was also an enterprising landowner owning many properties in and around Oregon.

Kauffman wrote that after Lincoln spoke in Oregon they were entertained at the Moore’s Hotel, now the Patchwork Inn. After the dinner they shook hands with people on the streets of Oregon and were taken to the law office of Henry A. Mix’s three-story building that still stands on the corner of Third and Washington.

Lincoln was then invited to Mix’s home at the west end of Washington Street.

One of the first men Henry met was his future father-in-law Philip R. Bennett who had moved to Oregon in 1841.

ABOVE: Henry A. Mix built this large brick home at 100 S. 10th St. from bricks made at his factory north of Oregon. BELOW: Mix was one of the builders of the Sinnissippi Hotel which once stood on the northeast corner of the intersection of Washington and Fourth Streets. Photo supplied by Otto Dick

Henry A. Mix In 1835 while living in Massachusetts. Philip was elected to the Massachusetts Legislature.

In 1838 he moved west to Ottawa, Illinois. In Oregon he established a mercantile business.

He was appointed Judge of the Probate Court for Ogle County and was county treasurer from 1854-1856.

Henry Mix met Philip Bennett’s daughter Catherine when she was 16 years old.

They were married December 19, 1844 three months before her 19th birthday. Henry was 28 years old.

Catherine died two years later during childbirth. Their child John Bennett Mix was named after his mother’s family. Catherine is buried in the H. A. Mix family plot at Riverside Cemetery.

In 1849 Henry married Mary Jacobs. They had eight children with George and Mary living past their childhood.

Eighteen years later in 1868 on his way home after work in the darkness, he attempted to cross the unfinished Oregon bridge.

He fell or was pushed off the unfinished bridge. The next morning workmen found his body on the rocks below.

A jury inquest determined it was accidental. He was 51 years old at the time of his death.

His wife Mary Jacobs outlived her husband by nearly 17 years. Mary moved back to New Hampshire. She had lost her husband and six of her eight children.

Now when I drive by Mix’s footprint house at 100 S. 10th St. I am reminded of his six children and his first wife Catherine, 21, buried at Riverside.

He was a pioneer attorney in Oregon, and his son John Bennett

remembered him as “a man wholly taken up with his business enterprises.”

Finally Lincoln visited this home, and this very successful attorney died falling off the unfinished Oregon bridge at the age of 51.

Sadly, I recall his life in Oregon when I see the tall granite shaft bearing the names of those buried in his family plot (eight untimely deaths).

POLO CITY COUNCIL

Company official says cost is too high

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com Recycling may soon be a thing of the past for Polo residents and businesses as well as other Ogle County communities.

Steve Moring, of Moring Disposal Inc., of Forreston, told the Polo City Council Monday evening that weekly pick-up of recyclables, along with the large roll-off bins at the corner of

Locust Street and Division Avenue, may be discontinued because of the cost.

“Recyclables aren’t worth anything anymore,” he said, explaining that Morings now must pay another company to take the recyclable items they collect, something that used to be free.

Those companies, he said, are also having difficulty finding a market for recyclables.

In addition, he said, his company also incurs the expense of hauling the recyclables to Whitewater, Wisconsin.

“I think these people who want to

go green need to do something about it,” he said.

Moring Disposal Inc., has curbside garbage collection contracts with the Cities of Polo and Oregon, and collects garbage in numerous other local communities including Forreston, Leaf River, and German Valley.

Moring said recyclables lost value several months ago when China announced they would no longer take them from the U.S. His visit to the city council came after he sent them a letter asking for a rate increase as of Sept. 1.

He told the council that firm offi-

cials are also contacting other cities and villages to discuss the end of recycling.

Their plan is to put recyclable items with the regular garbage.

Alderman Randy Schoon said he is in favor of that.

“If it’s not working, let’s not do it anymore,” he said.

Alderman Troy Boothe disagreed.

“It shouldn’t be all about money,” he said. “I’m afraid we’re all going to end up living on top of a garbage dump.”

The council agreed to meet with Moring officials to discuss recycling and garbage rates.

Students took part in EMSA program at Kish College

Kishwaukee College’s Engineering, Math & Science Academy (EMSA) welcomed 27 local high school students into the program this summer, making it the largest class since 2016.

The 2019-2020 EMSA class consists of students from DeKalb High School, Genoa-Kingston High School, Sycamore High School and Oregon High School.

The unique program offers high school students an early start on their college careers by taking college-level courses during junior or senior year.

Students can earn up to 23 credit hours through the EMSA program, generally transferable to 4-year public universities. EMSA students have transferred to some of the top engineering schools in the country, including the University of Illinois, Purdue, Georgia Tech and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

“EMSA is a great opportunity for highly motivated students that are looking to get a head start on college,” said EMSA advisor and assistant professor of physics & engineering Alan Edgecombe. “Kish offers small class sizes and a great

Twenty-seven area high school students began Kish’s EMSA program this summer. Pictured is the 2019-2020 EMSA class with students from DeKalb High School, Genoa-Kingston High School, Sycamore High School and Oregon High School. Photo supplied learning environment at an affordable cost.”

Students have the option to follow one of two tracks during their year in the EMSA program.

“When we began EMSA over 10 years ago, the program was geared

towards students entering the engineering and physics fields,” said Dean of Instruction Kyra Rider. “We soon saw a demand for a track that emphasized science-based professions such as pre-med, pre-veterinary and physical therapy, so we

responded with the development of the pre-professional track.”

The 27 high school students completed Calculus I this summer and will progress on their chosen track in the fall.

The six pre-professional track students will take Biology and Chemistry whereas the other 21 students will enter the engineering track and take Calculus II and Physics.

LIVE MUSIC

CTA to perform at Aug. 16 Mt. Morris Jamboree Chicago Tribute Anthology will make its debut appearance at the Mt. Morris Jamboree on Friday, Aug. 16 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Reckmeyer Band Shell in downtown Mt. Morris.

In April of 1969, a new rock ‘n roll band burst onto the scene, garnering nationwide attention.

Born in the Midwest and infused with elements of jazz, blues, and Latin influences, the first album by “Chicago Transit Authority”, or CTA as they were commonly known, went double platinum.

Such hits as Beginnings, Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?, and Question 67 & 68 propelled the band to popularity.

With a rock rhythm section led by guitarist Terry Kath, a powerful horn section, and unique vocals, the band now known simply as “Chicago” released their second album in January of 1970.

Considered by many to be the band’s breakout album, Chicago 2 would also go platinum with hits like: Make Me Smile; Colour My World; and 25 or 6 to 4.

Chicago became a dominant force in popular music during the 1970s, producing at least one new album each year.

This period was marked by the release of classic songs like, Free, Saturday in the Park, Dialogue, Just You ‘n Me, Feelin’ Stronger Every Day, Call On Me, and Old Days, to name a few.

Chicago Tribute Anthology brings to life the

The Chicago Tribute Anthology will perform in Mt. Morris on Aug. 16, from 7-9 p.m. Photo supplied “Golden Age” of Chicago by meticulously recreating many of the great songs from the first 11 albums.

Members include Tom Anderson, Paul Bata, Terry Geraci, Paul Mabin, Chuck Parrish, Reed Pauley, Dan Peters, and John Springbrunn.

The Mt. Morris Moose will serve concessions starting at 6 p.m.

The campus will be extra festive that evening as the 4th annual National Straw Sculpting Competition continues, with 10 new sculptures on display all around the south end until Aug. 24.

The Airbrush Art Show continues at the Encore Old Sandstone Gallery next door until the end of

the month, open from 6 to 9:30 p.m., featuring original works by local artists and historical displays celebrating the founding of the Mt. Morris College.

Other food and craft vendors will likely be on site as well.

Be sure to come uptown early to visit the Mt. Morris Community Farmers Market, open from 4 to 7 p.m. every Friday through September at the corner of Illinois 64 and Wesley Avenue.

Bring a blanket or chair, or enjoy the benches and join the fun on the historic campus in the center of Mt. Morris In the event of rain, the whole show moves to the Moose Lodge, 101 Moose Drive, at the same time.

Kyle Lacy and Harlem River Noise will perform at the Mt. Morris Jamboree Friday Night Concert this Friday, Aug. 9 at 7 p.m. at the Reckmeyer Band Shell in downtown Mt. Morris.

SPECIAL EVENT

The 13th annual Farm Heritage Festival will be held on Saturday, Aug. 24 at East Jordan Church, 22027 Polo Rd, Sterling.

The admission and parking are free.

The day will start with a good ol’ fashioned farm breakfast consisting of scrambled eggs, pancakes, and biscuits and gravy served from 7 to 9 a.m.

Tickets for breakfast are $8 for adults, $4 for youth to age 13, free for anyone under age 5.

Breakfast tickets are available from church members before the event or at the door.

The active farm machine demonstrations will begin around 9 a.m. and will occur periodically until 3:30 p.m. Static displays will be available all day.

This year’s active displays will feature a threshing machine, a stationary baler, wagon lifts and elevators, an ensilage cutter, a corn husker and shredder and tractor operations.

A blacksmith will demonstrate some tool-making and craft.

An activity center will allow

kids, youth and adults to try their hand at powering hand-cranked items such as corn sheller or a rope-maker.

A bouncy house for children is new this year.

A farm animal zoo will again feature dairy cows, sheep, goats and more. This is definitely a fun zone for children, youth, and adults of all ages.

A lunch stand will run inside the air-conditioned church from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. featuring sandwiches, baked beans, salads, chips, and desserts.

Proceeds from the lunch benefit various missions and functions of the East Jordan Church.

As an attendee from a previous year’s shows said, “This is different than most tractor shows in the area. They have live demonstrations of older farm machinery and practices of years ago.

This is definitely worth letting your family experience.”

Anyone with antique farm equipment who would like to display or run at the show is asked to contact Steve Venhuizen at 815 946 2513.

If so, you’re finding out that the cartilage that cushions your joints can wear away, leaving you with pain and limiting your range of motion. But, there are solutions with great success rates.

ADVANCES IN HIP AND KNEE SURGERY S P E A K E R S E R I ES Presented by: Kevin Draxinger, MD Wednesday, August 14 • 5:30 p.m.

FHN Family Healthcare Center – Burchard Hills 1010 W. Fairway Drive, Freeport Refreshments will be served

Join FHN Orthopaedic Surgeon Kevin Draxinger, MD in a free presentation discussing how our newest procedures can improve your life! Learn how the anterior approach for hip replacement allows us to install your new joint through a much smaller incision without the need to reattach muscle to bone. This method reduces the risk of dislocation after surgery, resulting in fewer restrictions on movement, faster recovery time, and less post-surgical pain. If a new knee could be in your future, you’ll hear how the TruMatch® knee guidance system for knee replacement allows for more anatomic bone cuts and joint replacement alignment. FHN was the first in the area to offer this revolutionary knee replacement option and has had hundreds of patient successes with it. And with both the anterior approach for hip replacement and TruMatch knee replacement, most of our patients go home the next day.

Register online at www.fhn.org/SpeakerSeries or by calling toll-free 1-877-6000-FHN (1-877-600-0346) ext. 901 and learn more about these advances in hip and knee replacement!

FORRESTON FESTIVAL

German delicacy draws good crowd to Forreston Sauerkraut Days was a success

BY EARLEEN HINTON ehinton@oglecountynews.com Last year it was the sauerkraut that was devoured first. This year it was the bratwurst.

“I’m sorry but we are sold out,” Harold Wiggins told nearly 25 people still in line for the Forreston Sauerkraut Days’ popular sauerkraut lunch on Saturday. “All we have left is pop, some saukerkraut, and chips.”

Wiggins, the commander of the Forreston American Legion, said organizers had more food this year than in 2018 when they had to send someone to Freeport to get more of that German delicacy - sauerkraut.

“We planned on selling until 3 p.m., but we had a great turn-out so we ran out,” Wiggins said at 1:04 p.m. “We got more than we did last year and we went through 20 big cans of sauerkraut.”

Although final attendance numbers were not yet available Monday, organizers of the two-day festival were definitely pleased with the turn-out and overall successful of the annual event.

Saturday events included water fights courtesy of the Forreston Fire Department, a craft fair, a hula-hoop contest, dunk tank, and watermelon eating contest.

815-626-7653 OGLE COUNTY Astrograph NEWSPAPERS Explore new possibilities, but don’t feel compelled to share or work in conjunction with someone else. Trust in your ability to get things done this year.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 2019 LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Make plans to have fun with friends or to spend time with a loved one. Physical improvements will lead to compliments, and romance will improve your personal life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Take a break, but don’t overspend. You want to eliminate stress, not add to it. Being overly generous, indulgent or excessive in any way will invite someone to take advantage of you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) -- Refuse to let someone close to you bait you into an emotionally charged situation that has no merit. Concentrate on what you can accomplish and let personal matters dissipate.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Look over any dealings you have with a bank, institution or individual to whom you are contractually obligated. Know your rights before you make changes.

Play it safe and come out on top.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Take pride in what you do for others. Your involvement in fundraising events or community projects will lead to exciting friendships.

Personal improvements are favored and romance is encouraged.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Protect your reputation.

Keep private matters and your ideas or plans to yourself. An interview or business trip will turn into a learning experience.

Listen carefully.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A partnership looks promising. Personal training, engaging in health and fitness routines, and spending time with a loved one will enhance your life. Romance is in the stars.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Know what you want. If you are precise and knowledgeable, it will be difficult for someone to take advantage of you. Speak on your own behalf or for those who don’t have a voice.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don’t take anything for granted. If you want something to work, effort and nurturing will be required. If you love someone, make sure he or she knows how much.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Refuse to buy into someone else’s plan if it doesn’t suit your needs.

Show discipline and use your intelligence to overcome interference. Avoid impulsive purchases or joint ventures.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take care of legal, emotional, financial or health matters personally.

Concentrate on love, personal growth, happiness and building a secure home base.

Romance will improve your relationship with someone special.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A change shouldn’t stop you from engaging in something you’ve never done before.

Personal improvements and mental, emotional and spiritual growth will promote new friendships and opportunities. ©2018 UFS
