Town & Country Days is ready to begin Thursday

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com From fireworks to the grand parade, Polo’s Town & Country Days offers four days of old-fashioned family fun this weekend.

“Blast from the Past” is the theme of the festival which will be held Thursday, June 18 through Sunday, June 21.

Festival committee chairman Jon Miller said a variety of activities for all ages is the highlight of the event.

“We have great family entertainment,” he said.

Part of that entertainment was delayed by heavy rain early this week.

The Great American Shows carnival rides got stuck in the mud at Franklin Grove on Monday and arrived in Polo Tuesday afternoon, about a day later than planned.

Thanks to Tuesday’s sunshine and some heavy equipment, the show will go on as planned.

The carnival will open

on Thursday at 5 p.m. and offer rides starting at noon the other three days of the festival.

Carnival mega-passes for $40 per person can be purchased until noon Thursday at First State Bank Shannon/Polo, Knie Appliance & TV, Polo, and Burkardt’s LP Gas. The mega-passes offer unlimited rides throughout the entire weekend.

A craft show will open Thursday at 10 a.m. in the former Olsen’s Elevator building.

The Amazing Race will begin at 5:45 p.m. in the Bingo Tent, followed by the Little Miss & Mr. Contest at 6 p.m. in the Festival Tent.

The 5K run and walk starts at 6:15 p.m. on the Polo High School football field.

Contestants square off at 7 p.m. in the Festival Tent for the Polo Chamber of Commerce’s Family Feud.

The high school Track Club concession stand opens at 8:30 p.m. at the football field in time for

the fireworks show which begins at 9:30 p.m.

In case of rain, the fireworks will be held on Sunday, June 21.

Kids Day at the festival is Friday, June 19. Armbands for unlimited carnival rides until 5 p.m. will go on sale at noon for $20 apiece.

A Kids Fun Fair will offer face painting, tattoos, games, a petting zoo, along with Pictures and Crafts with Elisa and Olaf from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Festival Tent.

Alumni Night begins at 5 p.m. in the beer garden where Pat Anderson will perform from 5 to 8 p.m. and Dwyer & Michaels will take the stage from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m.

Other Friday events include the craft show from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and twilight bingo at 7 p.m. in the Bingo Tent.

Two new events will take place on Saturday, June 20.

County will move ahead with parking lot plans $15,283 bid accepted for tank removal

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com

The Ogle County Board moved ahead Tuesday with plans to create more parking space near the judicial center in the next few months.

The board approved a resolution to accept a proposal for $15,283 from Stiles Inc., Loves Park, to remove five underground storage tanks on the county’s property at 501 W. Washington St., the corner of Washington and Fifth Streets.

Board member Don Griffin, who is coordinating

the project, said he expects the project to be completed in time for the Autumn on Parade festival on the first weekend in October.

Board member Lee Meyers, Byron, questioned why the resolution appropriated $18,000 for project when Stiles’ bid was less than that.

Griffin said the extra money was allocated in case unexpected costs arise during the tank removal.

He said two of the tanks still have oil in them.

Board member Pat Saunders, Polo, said that the bid includes a price per yard to remove any contaminated soil from around the tanks.

The price will vary depending on how much is found.

Board chairman Kim Gouker, Byron, said the bid

In This Week’s Edition...

also includes a price per gallon to pump out the oil left in the tanks.

Neither amount can be determined, he said, until the excavation is underway.

The removal of the tanks is part of a three-phase project that will likely take place over the next few years to remove the former Jackass BBQ building from 501 W. Washington St., and the house next door to the south at 102 S. Fifth St. and create a parking lot with 39 spaces.

Gouker said last month that the project will be done in phases, with the removal of the underground tanks, demolition of the Jackass BBQ building, and completing that part

Polo officials plan to hold a public forum to get residents’ opinions on two topics — hiring a fifth full-time police officer and a grocery store.

Alderman Troy Boothe told the city council Monday night that he wants to hold the forum as soon as possible to inform residents about the need for a fifth officer and the cost of hiring one and to get their feedback.

He suggested holding the meeting at the fire station.

“Another full-time officer would give the chief more time for supervisory duties,” Boothe said.

Currently Police Chief

Dennis Christen spend most of his time on patrol.

The police department employs four full-time officers, including Christen, and 11 part-time.

The additional fulltime officer was one of the recommendations in a recent review of the police department done by Kurt Cavanaugh, Polo, a retired Illinois State Police Lieutenant.

Cavanaugh did the department review at Boothe’s request and did not charge the city for his services.

The review showed that Christen spends 75 percent of his time on patrol and 25 percent on administrative tasks.

Cavanaugh found that other area police chiefs in similar communities spend between 60 and 90 percent of their time on administration.

Those duties include developing procedures; reviewing cases, reports, and evidence; meeting with officers individually; and providing training.

With more time to do administrative duties, Christen would also be more available to the public.

“It’s not so much hiring another officer; it’s more giving Dennis the opportunity to be the chief,” Cavanaugh said at the meeting.

He said that should a Turn to A2

Torch run held in Oregon

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com Local athletes received the send off of a lifetime last week when the Flame of Hope made its way through Oregon.

Individuals from the Village of Progress (VOP), including athletes, lined downtown Oregon to see the torch as it passed by June 10.

The torch, carried by law enforcement workers, was headed to Bloomington for the annual summer Special The Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Olympics for track and field. went through Oregon June 10.

Ebbesmeyer named MVP

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com What happens when an award recipient leaves the area before being surprised with the award?

The German Valley Days committee found out Friday night when they were presenting Bob Ebbesmeyer the Most Valuable Person Award.

Just seconds before Donna Smith began the presentation for the award, Ebbesmeyer took a call and bolted from the area.

He helps with the festival and is always on the go to make sure the festival has no problems.

The problem Friday, however, was a missing MVP recipient.

A member of the German Valley Lions Club caught up with Ebbesmeyer at the picnic shelter and directed him back to the MVP presentation in time to receive the award.

Ebbesmeyer only heard parts of the speech announcing him as the 2015 German Valley MVP. “You got me,” he said. “I am not going to lie. Thank

you. For what it is worth I am speechless.”

Ebbesmeyer said the community and school district has been good for his family.

Being named the MVP turned out to be only one surprise for Ebbesmeyer that night.

“Martha my wife has been there to support me and I appreciate that,” he said.

“She is in Missouri at this point.”

Smith pointed to a woman standing to the right of the stage.

City opens drop site for branches, brush The City of Polo has opened a drop off site for branches, sticks and brush.

This is strictly for residential use only, no hauling for commercial landscapers will be allowed.

No construction materials, furniture, leaves, grass

clippings or garden waste and no burning are allowed.

This site is located on South Galena Trail Road at the old sewer plant. The gates will be open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

This is a new service being provided to the citizen of

Polo on a trial bases.

The city expects citizens to abide by the rules so we can continue to provide this service in years to come.

VBS will follow the Kidz Cafe meals. Transportation will be available.

The theme is God’s Force

and will include Bible stories and action activities.

Parents must be present with children younger than five years old.

Residents need to be informed about police dept.

From A1 serious incident occur, not having the administrative tasks in order could put the city at a legal disadvantage and the police department in a bad light.

Alderman Dave Ackeberg said residents need to be fully informed about the advantages and cost of the additional policeman. “It has to carry a value to the citizens of Polo,� he said. “There has to be a tangible value.�

Alderman Randy Schoon said he supports hiring the fifth officer.

He listed other projects the city has spent money on, such as renovating the swimming pool, demolishing dilapidated buildings, and replacing worn-out equipment.

All those projects were beneficial and needed Schoon

said, as is another policeman.

Mayor Doug Knapp agreed. “I want the community to be fully informed,� he said. “I hope the public will decide to get involved in this.�

Cavanaugh’s review found that while the department is running smoothly overall, some changes are needed.

The report recommended that the police station should be renovated for security reasons.

It suggested the addition of security cameras both inside and outside of the building.

The half walls that separate the public area from offices should be extended to full walls, the report said, with a safety glass window to view and communicate with anyone who comes in.

The interview room should also be made more secure and private, the report said.

The evidence storage area needs to be tightened, the report suggested, to limit access to it.

Boothe said those recommendations will be reviewed by the council over the next 12 to 24 months.

The other discussion point at the public forum came from Rock Falls resident Ahmad Farraj who is interested in opening a grocery store in Polo.

Farraj filed a request several months ago for a financial incentive to open a store at the former Polo Super Valu building at 203 S. Division Ave. (Ill. 26).

That request asked for a portion of the city’s share of the sales tax to be refunded to him for several years.

City council members voiced their willingness to consider that in early December.

An eye exam is a good idea, especially if things are starting to look a little fuzzy around the edges.

Since then Farraj has asked the council for assistance on at least two occasions, and has been given information on what kind of help is available.

Farraj said Monday night that he wants to know if residents want a grocery store and how the city can help financially. “I’m interested in what the city itself can do to help,� he said.

Knapp said the city has some money in its Tax Increment Funding account that the grocery store may

qualify for. “It isn’t big money but it would help,� he said.

Polo Economic Development Committee (PEDC) member Mark Scholl some funds are available for low interest loans.

He said the grocery store is something the PEDC has discussed at length and that everyone in Polo would favor. “It’s definitely a high priority item,� Scholl said.

In December, Knapp said the building would take major repairs before it could reopen.

He said the roof leaks, the floor and ceiling tiles need to be replaced, and the refrigeration units need repairs.

Farraj said Monday night that the roof has been repaired.

Polo has been without a grocery store for more than almost eight years.

Polo Super Valu was owned and operated by Paul and Terri Koenck for many years.

They sold the store to Yong Shim in 2007, and it closed several months later.

Special Olympics torch relay held From A1 Torch Run has been organized for Special Olympics,” said run leader Assistant Deputy Chief Patrick Hoey, of the Rockford Police Department.

First responders from the Oregon, Mt. Morris, and Byron Police Departments, and Ogle County Sheriff’s Department were participating in the annual Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics “I am so proud of Sheriff (Brian) VanVickle to do their first ever Torch Run,” said Hoey. “We had a fantastic turnout today. It is fantastic seeing everyone in town.”

Along the route the officers participating in the run were greeted by athletes from the VOP and lots of heat and humidity.

“We are from the Village of Progress,” said Karen Kereven.

“We have our athletes out supporting the group today. It is a good cause.”

She was with two athletes from the VOP who have participated in Special Olympics.

“Our athletes all love playing in the sports,” said Kereven. “It is fun.”

Jenny Meyer is a basketball standout on the team that went to the state competition this year.

“I like basketball,” Meyer said. “It is good to play on the team.”

Earlier this year, Meyer practiced her skills during the annual game between the VOP and the Ogle County Educational Coop at the Oregon High School.

During the Torch Run, she was there to support her fellow athletes and cheer on the law enforcement personnel carrying the torch.

Also with her to watch the run was her teammate Jake Kavala, who plays basketball and bowling.

“Bowling is more of a game of luck or chance,” said Kavala. “You have a chance of getting a strike. It also helps working with math and you can figure out.”

For one officer, participating in the run was especially touching.

Oregon Police Department Patrolman Matt Kalnins has a brother, Kenny, that has benefited from participating in Special Olympics.

Pine Creek News

By Karen Merlak It was so nice to see the sun today, even if it was short-lived.

With all the rain, I think my weeds are growing faster and stronger than any of the vegetables in my garden.

When it comes to gardening, I mostly leave it in God’s hands. He deserves our praise for all things.

This morning in church, we were greeted by Vicki Hay. Robert Toms read the story of the hymn, “Close to Thee.” Martha Johannsen read the scripture lesson before Pastor Gregg Downs gave the morning message.

On Saturday evening, several families from our church gathered to share in a picnic.

The rains held off until dessert. Everyone enjoyed the meal and fellowship.

Before the picnic, Don and Vicki Hay traveled

“My brother was always a part of Special Olympics, Kenny. He used to participate every year,” said Kalnins.

“Kenny is a funny guy. Special Olympics is a great cause and raises awareness for athletes.”

When Kalnins heard the Torch Run was going through Oregon he did not hesitate to volunteer to participate. “”It is special doing it here in town,” he said. “It will be a great time seeing everyone cheering us on. They are always very happy to see us and great people.”

The route began at the scenic pull off north of town across from Black Hawk Statue.

Daniel Daub, court security for the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department, was organizing the runners before they started on the route south to downtown Oregon and then east on Ill. 64 to Daysville Road.

“Everyone has a chance to carry the torch for a block,” said Daub. “This is the Flame of Hope and we are going to go at a slow pace.”

In downtown Oregon, the runners were greeted by a large group from the VOP. VOP Executive Director Brion Brooks, was thrilled to see the support the community continues to show for the athletes.

“It was very exciting for our individuals to participate today,” said Brooks. “It is heartening to see this local support.”

Twenty members of the VOP were in downtown to cheer on the runners and many had custom made signs.

“They created colored posters to show their support,” said Brooks. “It was a real celebration.”

The athletes look up to and respect law enforcement and think of them as role models, he said.

“Our individuals enjoyed seeing the officers supporting them,” said Brooks. “They enjoyed the chance to interact with the officers.”

When the run was complete, the officers came back to town to spend time with the VOP athletes and individuals.

Three athletes from the VOP, Dusty Wetzel, Rachel Brooks, and Jacob Warner, went to Bloomington to compete in the Special Olympics June 1213. to Downers Grove for a graduation party for greatnephew, Ian Cates.

Last weekend, Sandra Ford traveled to Bloomington to celebrate a very special first birthday of her greatgranddaughter, Lilliana.

Sandra’s daughter, Crystal Patterson, her husband, Jack, their children, Kaitlyn, Hannah, and Samuel, and from Wheaton, Sandra’s daughter, Kim Austin, her husband, Ron, and their daughter, Leah, joined in the party.

After the party, the Austin family, Patterson family, and Sandra went to dinner at a local restaurant before the Austin’s headed home to Wheaton.

On Sunday morning, Sandra and the Patterson family attended church at Eastview Christian Church.

While there, Sandra visited with Tim Maxey, also from Pine Creek.

Over the first weekend in June, Janelle Riopell, daughter of Kent and Judy Nettz, walked in the Avon Walk for the Cure.

The course was a total of

39 miles with 26 completed on Saturday and 13 on Sunday, starting at Soldier Field and ending at Wrigley Field and then back again, taking a shorter route.

On Sunday, Janelle’s mom, Judy Nettz, sister, Kelsi Jones, and niece, Maddi Jones, went into Chicago to celebrate with Janelle at the finish line.

Janelle did an amazing job and was able to raise money to help find a cure for cancer.

On Friday afternoon, I traveled to Springfield for the annual Illinois State P.E.O. convention. I took part in workshops and meetings with the highlight of the weekend being the Projects Dinner on Saturday night.

I returned home on Sunday afternoon. I met lots of wonderful ladies and some familiar faces, including, Ann Lawrence, mother of Lisa Coffman. Ann and I first met on a bus trip to Cottey College my junior year of high school. Our friendship continues still today.

While traveling on Interstate 55, I ran into a stretch of construction that

brought traffic to a stop for about half an hour.

Stopped traffic can be frustrating for even the most patient driver. I was actually thankful for a break from the fast paced highway that we were on.

During this traffic break, the sun had come out and was a welcome sight. I enjoyed listening to a few of my favorite songs on the radio.

Then, I started checking the clock and the GPS several times trying to figure out if I would be at the convention in time for the evening’s activities.

We ask God for patience, He grants our request, and then along comes an opportunity to put it to use and we change our minds about our original request.

God’s gifts are good, but we have to put them to work.

Faith, love, and patience need to put to use to be of any use to us.

I hope to see you next week at our little church in the country. Happy Father’s Day to all of our fathers and grandfathers!

Rachel is a 2009 graduate of Lakeside Lutheran High School, Lake Mills, Wis. She is a 2013 graduate of Carroll University, Waukesha, Wis., with a bachelor of science degree in nursing.

She is employed at

Waukesha Memorial Hospital as a labor and delivery nurse.

The couple will be married on Oct. 10 in Waukesha.

A local airman, stationed in western Australia, recently took part in recognizing the 100th Anniversary of ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Day. U.S. Air Force Major James Hughes, the son of Thomas and Martha Hughes, rural Mt. Morris, is the commander of the Detachment 1, 2nd Weather Squadron, also known as Learmonth Solar Observatory, a joint operation between the Australian Ionospheric Prediction Service Radio and Space Services and the US Air Force.

It is located in the small town of Exmouth where the population is less than 2,500..

The U.S. Air Force’s weather mission takes a combined effort from airmen stationed across the globe, to include the remote observatory.

“Exmouth’s history is linked with the American presence here, since the

town was established and built to support the Naval Communication Station Harold E. Holt,” said Hughes. “Even though the active duty U.S. Navy left in the early 90s, many people in town still look back fondly on the days when the Navy was here. Det 1, 2nd WS has been able to carry on a small bit of that positive U.S. military presence.”

Recently, members of Det. 1, 2nd WS, participated in recognizing the 100th Anniversary of ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Day. “It was a great honor for the unit to play such an instrumental role in the ANZAC ceremonies,” Hughes said. “This is not just a token holiday here— people really are passionate about remembering the sacrifices of their forebears at Gallipoli.

We have Memorial Day in the U.S., but this is on a whole different level.”

ANZAC Day is recognized every year on April 25 and marks the first major military action fought by Australia and New Zealand during WWI at Gallipoli. It

Hughes took part by joining the reviewing party and singing the national anthem.

“Because of our remote location, I am actually the only military officer stationed in the Shire of Exmouth,” Hughes said. “Thus I carried on the tradition of joining the Shire President to form the reviewing party for the ANZAC day parade.”

Evening at the Mill has a Monet impersonator Lyle Grobe and the Rhythm Ramblers will perform Friday, June 19 at the Mt. Morris band shell. Pictured with Grobe (far right in the front row) are band members (not in order) Frank Evans, Dennis Milby. Marvin Kunde, Jim Miller, and Lisa Allen-Grobe. Photo supplied

The Franklin Grove Creek & Preservation Committee will hold an “Evening at the Mill” Dinner and Program on Saturday, June 27 at the Franklin Creek Grist Mill, 1893 Twist Road, Franklin Grove, within the Franklin Creek State Natural Area.

The program “Through the Eyes of Monet” presented

by Scott Shepherd will be a theatrical impersonation of Claude Monet, the daring

Free concert Friday night The sweet sounds emanating from the historic Mt. Morris Band Shell on Friday, June 19 will be courtesy of local legend Lyle Grobe and the Rhythm Ramblers.

The two-hour show starts at 7 p.m. and is free to the public with any donations being entirely optional.

This band, who has appeared during all three Friday Concert seasons, always has the crowds line-dancing on the grass to toe-tapping while sitting in lawn chairs and the new benches.

Lyle Grobe has been performing for many years starting in the early 1950s with two brothers, Harry and Richard Hackbarth.

They appeared at many shows in the Lee County area for years.

They began moving into the Ogle County area in the late 50s at venues such as Castle Rock Bar on Ill. 2 near Oregon.

Later on Grobe was a radio announcer for WIXN which is now River Country 101.7.

He then began an era in

his life being a night club owner when he owned and managed Skyline Lounge near Dixon.

During this time some of the current Rhythm Ramblers joined him.

Many years have come and gone and Grobe, still with the love of music, keeps the band going by having weekly band rehearsals in his garage both summer and winter.

Many a musician has stopped and “picked” a tune or two.

The lead guitarist in the band is Frank Evans, Sterling.

Evans was an important player in the Skyline days bringing his lead guitarist experience to the stage.

The drummer in the band, Dennis Milby, Sterling, has been with Grobe since the Skyline days also. Dennis Milby, comes from Sterling.

The bass player these days is none other than Marvin Kunde, who comes to the band with experience and a background that also put him in the radio field for a time also deejaying at WIXN back in the day.

Lisa Allen-Grobe, Sterling, is the female singer in the band. She brings to the stage the songs of Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, and other women of Country Music.

Jim Miller returns to the band after playing with them back in the ‘70s.

He brings keyboard, harmonica, banjo, and singing skills.

Concessions for the evening are provided by the Mt. Morris Senior Center, who will be serving hot dogs, chips, soda, water, ice cream, and Dilly Bars starting at 6 p.m.

Come to town early and have a look at all the good locally grown produce and other foods and crafts available at the Mt. Morris Community Farmers Market held in the bank parking lot at the corner of Ill. 64 and Wesley Avenue from 4 to 7 p.m. every Friday.

The rain location for the concert and concessions is the Mt. Morris Moose Lodge, on Moose Drive just off of East Hitt Street at the same times.

VOP seeks day camp donations The Village of Progress will again conduct a series of day camp activities for disabled adults enrolled in their program and is seeking the public’s help with the cost.

The Day Camp Program allows VOP consumers to participate in a number of summer outings which may include activities such as fishing, boat rides, field trips, and cookouts.

For more than 40 years the summer camp offerings have provided our consumers

a social, recreational and learning opportunity not otherwise available to most of the individuals who participate.

Since VOP began services to Ogle County adults with developmental disabilities some form of a summer camp experience has been offered to the men and women enrolled in the programs.

In the 1970s and 80s VOP scheduled week long residential camps at Stronghold and LOMC. In the mid 1990s it

changed from a residential camp to a format offering day trip activities throughout the summer.

VOP is estimating the cost for this summer’s program at $65 per participant, and is requesting community support.

Anyone wishing to make a contribution is asked to mail their gift to the Village of Progress, Box 418, Oregon, IL, 61061.

Any contribution, regardless of the amount, will be appreciated.

Sunday, July 26: Laura Rae and the Back Roads Trio – Rockford’s acoustic Americana band featuring current and vintage country, folk, light rock, and gospel and bluegrass music.

The Ogle County Health Department and the Ogle County Emergency Management Agency will hold a meeting on Tuesday, June 30 to inform residents about volunteering with the agencies.

The meeting will be in the boardroom on the third floor of the Ogle County Courthouse, 105 S. Fifth St., Oregon, from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

Information will be presented about volunteering in the area of emergency preparedness and response, an area that can improve response capabilities in times of public emergencies. When a disaster hits a community, fear can be overwhelming, not because there are not

enough resources, but because people do not know how to access those resources, according to studies by FEMA’s.

Members of the Ogle County Volunteer Corps will be trained in how and where to access those resources and will help in many different capacities in times of need.

Attendees will be encouraged to sign up and fill out a volunteer application while at the meeting.

According to the Commission of Volunteerism and Community Service, Illinois continues to hold the number one volunteer rate among America’s eight largest states.

As part of a community, we are to care for one another in

the community. Emergencies come unexpectedly such as the tornado that affected parts of the county in April.

With a volunteers corps, Ogle County will be better equipped to deal with the before, during, and after of any event.

Those interested must be at least 18 years of age, but no specific experience is required to participate in this opportunity.

Refreshments will be provided at the meeting.

For more information on emergency preparedness and response, call Joanie Padilla at the Ogle County Health Department by calling 815732-7330, extension 279. or log onto fema.gov for more tips.

Crash victim dies from injuries in June 7 wreck An Oregon teen died June 13 from the injuries he suffered less than a week earlier in a one-vehicle crash.

Michael Stevens, 19, had been in intensive care at OSF St. Anthony Medical Center, Rockford, since June 7 when he was critically injured.

He was a 2014 graduate of Oregon High School, where he was active in FFA, football, wrestling, and bass fishing.

He was a student at Rock Valley College and worked at

FN Smith, Oregon.

Stevens was air-lifted by React helicopter from the scene of the accident on South Watertown Road near the intersection with Prairie Road approximately five miles southeast of Oregon.

Ogle County Sheriff’s Police said Stevens was driving a pick-up truck north on South Watertown Road and failed to negotiate a curve.

The vehicle drove off the roadway into the left ditch

and struck several trees and a creek embankment, coming to rest in a cornfield. The crash occurred shortly after 8 a.m.

Police said Stevens was not wearing a seat belt.

Visitation will be held Thursday, June 18 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Farrell Holland Gale Funeral Home, Oregon.

The funeral is scheduled for Friday, June 19 at 11 a.m. at the Oregon Church of God. A complete obituary appears on B5.

No wake on the Rock Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle implemented the no wake ordinance on the Rock River in Ogle County effective June 16.

He took the action after the National Weather Service issued a flood advisory for the Rock River in the county until Thursday afternoon.

The Rock River is expected to rise to 11.1 feet

by Wednesday morning.

In addition to flooding, debris hazards such as floating and submerged logs exist.

Care should be taken when operating a boat during this time, VanVickle said in a press release.

The no wake ordinance means motorboats should not exceed five miles per hour while traveling in the no wake area.

VanVickle said he anticipates lifting the no wake restriction on Thursday.

The gauge at Byron showed the river at 10.55 feet Tuesday morning, having steadily risen from just over seven feet on Saturday morning.

The river is considered to be in flood stage when it reaches 13 feet at the Byron gauge.

Tank removal discussed From A1 the parking lot as Phase 1, removal of the house next door as Phase 2, and completing the rest of the parking lot as Phase 3.

The board also approved a resolution with an estimate from county engineer Curtis Cook that Phase 1 will cost approximately $203,500 including the $15,283 to remove the underground tanks.

Meyer also objected to the second resolution because it appropriated $215,000.

“This is costing about $25,000 per parking space,” he said.

Board member Marcia Heuer, Oregon, said the environmental hazards on the property need to be eliminated.

“This isn’t just a parking lot,” she said. “This property will take care of the county’s future expansion needs for 50 years.”

She said both properties were purchased because they are so close to the judicial center.

Phases 2 and 3 are estimated to cost a total of $161,950.

The county purchased the property at 501 W. Washington St. for $150,000 in June of 2013 from John Spoor.

In December of 2013, the board approved buying the house at 102 S. Fifth St. from Scott and Barb Spoor for $99,500.

At that time the board entered into a three-year lease for the house with attorney Robert Lowe, who has his office there.

Golf outing planned in July The fourth annual Mt. Morris Moose Golf Outing sponsored by the Women of the Moose will be held July 25 at Sunset Golf Course, Mt. Morris.

Final registration will begin at 12 p.m., with tee off at 1 p.m.

The cost is $35 per person or $140 per team, which includes the following: golf,

cart rental, door prize, meal at Mt. Morris Moose afterward, and one drink ticket to be used at Mt. Morris Moose Lodge the day of the event.

A Chinese raffle is also planned, which means participants can choose to sign up for which items they would like a chance to win.

Pheasants Forever toured the Nachusa Grasslands Ogle County Pheasants Forever took a group of 21 kids and 11 adults to the Nachusa Grasslands June 6.

The grasslands is a 3,500 acre enclosure prepared by the Nature Conservancy for habitat restoration through the use of the introduction of a specially selected herd of bison.

The tour and presentation was given by Cody Considine, a steward of the grasslands.

The group learned about the benefit this herd has to native grasslands and habitat and saw

up close and personal more than three dozen adult bison and their newly born young.

Following that the group caravanned to Rock River Outfitters, the local sports shop located next to Oregon Park East, for a presentation by owner O. K. Welty on how global warming may be changing the flight patterns of a large flock of more than 100 pelicans, and that it appears is impacting local river dynamics and fisheries.

Finally, the group enjoyed a hot dog roast in Oregon Park

East.

The kids earned points by attending the tour (along with previously attended programs) and for cleaning up the litter and debris at the park which they can then later use to acquire sporting goods from Rock River Outfitters.

This was the group’s fifth program and some of the kids had already earned over $200 worth of points for redemption.

The next program will be later this summer to Hoo Haven in Durand.

Hoo Haven is a wildlife rehabilitation center for injured birds of prey and wildlife.

Forreston defeated Polo 19-3 in summer ball action

By Larry Loomis June 1, Polo’s Junior Division Polo Two team hosted Byron and came away with an 11-1 win.

Following scoreless first and second innings for the guests, Polo struck for six runs in the bottom of the second.

The inning featured six walks, an error and a double

by Natlalie Nelson that scored a pair of runs and a single by Emileigh Williams that scored two more runs.

After two innings, Polo led 6-0.

Polo added a run in the bottom of the third on three base on balls and an infield out. Trailing 7-0 in the top of the fourth, Byron managed to push a run across when two walks and a single led to the visitors getting their only score of the game.

Polo Two managed to put the game away under the tenrun rule with four runs in the bottom of the fourth. Mallory Patterson drew a leadoff walk. Patterson moved to second on an infield out.

Singles by Emma McCawley and Sierra Wolfley filled the bases. Becca Wagner then strode to the plate and drilled the first pitch to deep right center for a grand slam

homerun to bring in four runs and give Polo a thrilling finish to an 11-1 victory.

Polo collected four hits on the night allowing Natalie Nelson to pick up the win.

Nelson allowed just two hits on the evening.

Polo’s Senior Division hosted a team from Stillman Valley and proved to be not too friendly hosts as the blasted their guests by a 20-1 margin.

Stillman just did not have any credible pitching and struggled from the first pitch to find the plate. Stillman surrendered eight base on balls in the marathon first inning.

When the ball did manage to come close to the plate, Polo’s powerful offense delighted in whacking the ball all over the park.

Amber Henson had two singles in the inning while Emily Boelens, Alexia Cox and Natalie Boward had run scoring singles.

Kayla Blum smacked a double as the home town ladies struck for ten runs in the first inning.

Polo would repeat the feat in the bottom of the second adding another ten runs.

This time, Polo was recipient of seven base on balls while Cynthia Calderon

had a double to score three runs and Zoie Sellers scored a pair of runs with a single and the highlight of the inning was Emily Boelens drilling a homerun to deep center field to make the score 20-1.

The game ended under the fifteen-run mercy rule after three innings.

With the win, Polo moved to 3-0 for the season. Cassie Bushman went the distance to pick up the win. She did not allow a hit in the two and one half innings she pitched.

Polo had nine hits for the game.

June 2, Polo One hosted Dixon One in a matchup of the two best teams in the Junior Division. This game turned out to be all that was to be expected of the two best teams as Polo would eek out a 1-0 win.

Polo’s Nicole Boelens was just outstanding as she struck out fifteen batters in throwing a no-hitter despite the fact that she was under the weather the entire game.

Dixon’s Sami Tourtillott was almost as good as Boelens as she allowed just two hits and walked only one batter.

The difference in the ballgame came in the bottom of the second inning. Alex Dusing led off the inning

with Tourtillott’s only walk of the game.

An infield out by Ally Simpson sent Dusing to second. Then, the key play of the game occurred when, on a ball hit by Jasimine Badon, was bobbled at first allowing the fleet-footed Dusing to score.

That run was the only score of the game as Polo held on for the win.

Dixon only managed to get one runner to second all evening and that came in the sixth inning when a pair of walks saw Dixon put runners on first and second with none out but Boelens went on to strike out the side to give Polo a thrilling well played 1-0 win.

With the win, Polo moved to 3-0 for the season.

In the evening’s nightcap, Polo Two of the third and fourth grade division hosted Stockton. The game evolved early on into a walk-a-thon and by evening’s end Polo had collected eighteen walks to ten for the visitors with Polo emerging with 17-8 win.

Stockton got on the board early with two runs in the top of the first courtesy of five walks and a fielder’s choice.

Polo came right back with four runs in the bottom of the

inning.

Six walks and a single by Reylee Katner accounted for the four runs.

The guests came right back with six runs of their own in the top of the second.

Again, the base on ball did most of the damage as Polo issued five of them while a double and two singles saw the walked runners score to give Stockton the lead as 8-4 midway through two innings.

Polo began their comeback with three runs in the bottom of the second. A couple of walks and an error saw Polo close to 8-7 after two.

Lindee Poper then came in to pitch the final two innings and she shut down the visitors by not allowing a hit.

While Poper held Stockton at bay offensively, the Polo ladies picked up three runs in the third and added six more in the fourth to win going away.

Once again, Reylee Katner led the offense with a big double midway through the fourth inning to account for the only hit while Polo was taking advantage of a dozen walks they were given.

For the night, Polo had just two hits with both of those coming off of Katner’s bat.

Lindee Poper got the win in relief and did not allow a hit

while striking out five over the two innings she pitched.

June 3, Polo One of the third and fourth grade division of the Carroll County League hosted Forreston.

Forreston had a decent team and was able to take advantage of every walk they got and they got plenty as they picked up twenty-two, while sandwiching in three hits to win going away by a margin of 19-3.

Forreston scored the maximum of six runs in the first inning on three hits and five walks and an error.

The game for all intents a purposes was over as Polo’s pitching struggle to find the plate for the four innings the game lasted and the offense was never able to get untracked.

Polo’s biggest inning of the game came in the second when they managed to pick up two runs. Five walks and an infield out account for those two runs and that was the game.

Polo did not have a hit in the game. Polo’s pitchers only allowed three hits but the base on ball was their downfall.

Two games were featured Friday evening, June 5. Polo’s Turn to B2

GERMAN VALLEY

SECTION B

Thursday, June 18, 2015

Wife surprised Bob Ebbesmeyer From A1 “She is not in Missouri?” said Ebbesmeyer. “She was supposed to be in Missouri visiting her dad.”

His wife successfully pulled off a little white lie and was at the festival to see her husband named the MVP. “That person there has been there supporting me,” said Ebbesmeyer.

When receiving the sash, Ebbesmeyer had a slight delay with getting the sash on.

“I don’t wear a lot of sashes,” he quipped.

Following the MVP announcement, the Little Miss and Mister German Valley were announced.

This year brother and sites Alice Kobler and Joey were the winners.

They are the children of

Jason and Debbie Kobler.

The competition featured a round of questions and Joey had the answer of the night.

When asked what color strawberry ice cream was, Joey said “red.”

Colin Rust, the master of ceremonies, prompted Joey to try and say “pink,” which is another color strawberry ice cream could be.

“Blue,” said Joey as his response to another color the ice cream could be.

This answer drew laughs from the crowd.

The win for the Koblers was unique.

They were the third and fourth members of the Kobler family to be named Little Miss or Little Mister.

Jonathen was the Little Mister in 2010 and Jakob was the Little Mister in 2013.

Rain dampens some summer games

By Larry Loomis Only half of the schedule to be played over the past week was able to be gotten in as the weather turned decidedly for the worse washing out Thursday and Friday night’s games. Monday, June 8, Polo Two of the Little Miss Division hosted Pearl City in Carroll County League action. The game only went three and one half innings as Polo took a lopsided 18-3 victory.

Polo had 22 walks and one hit in the marathon game.

Lindee Poper led off the bottom of the first with a single that resulted in Poper reaching all the way to third when a Pearl City infielder threw late to the bag at first.

The ball bounded off the bag into foul territory down the right field line as Poper raced around the horn winding up on third. Six walks and a hit batsman later, Polo had posted six runs on the board.

The next two innings were more of the same with a host of base on balls and no hits.

Poper pitched for Polo and she did a fine job by keeping the ball near the plate for Nathan Stienmentz, German Valley, releases a pitch most of the evening. during the 9-10 year old All Star game June 12 in German The guests wacked a Valley. Photo by Chris Johnson couple of balls hard but a

All Star Game

solid defense behind Poper kept Pearl City in check all evening. The visitors picked up a solo run in the first and added two in the fourth to complete their scoring as Polo took the victory.

Game two featured Polo’s other entrant in the Little Miss Division of the Carroll County League, Polo One, hosting Mt. Carroll.

As much as Polo Two had been so dominant in game one, Mt. Carroll dominated in this contest as they took a 15-7 win.

Neither team had a hit, so ultimate victory hinged on how many walks were issued and in that battle, the visitors emerged with twenty to Polo’s twelve. Each team also had two hit batsmen.

Mt. Carroll picked up six runs in the top of the first and Polo responded with six of their own to tie the game at six after an inning of play.

A couple of good defensive plays by Polo held the guests to just three runs in the top of the second. After an inning and on half, Polo appeared to have a chance as neither pitcher, Polo’s or Mt. Carroll’s, had much control.

However, Mt. Carroll’s pitcher managed to gain control in the bottom of the second and held Polo

Game action has heated up in Polo From A12 Tiny Miss team of the Carroll County League played their first home game of the season after several rainouts on the road.

The two games they had managed to play they had lost so they were looking forward to some home cooking and that is what they got as they staged a last inning rally to win by a 6-5 margin over visiting Lanark.

The game was scoreless until the top of the fourth when Lanark pushed across four runs to take a 4-0 lead.

Leading by four runs with only two innings to play, Lanark looked like almost certain winners over a listless Polo offense but things suddenly changed in the fifth inning.

Lanark led 5-0 when Polo struck for four runs to close to 5-4 after five. Leah Tobin led off the Polo fifth with a single. Summer Peterson singled behind Tobin.

Mazy Queckboerner singled to fill the bases with none out. Following a strikeout, Camryn Jones singled to score a run.

Then, on a ball hit by Riley Wiggins, an error on a wild throw at first resulted in three runs scoring to give Polo four runs to close to 5-4 through five innings setting the stage for a thrilling ending an inning later.

After holding the visitors scoreless in the top of the inning, Polo only needed one to tie and two runs to win the game heading into the last regulation inning of play.

Avalyn Henry led off the Polo Sixth with a triple to right field to put the tying run just sixty feet away with none out.

Following an out, Ravyn Dixon singled to score Henry from third. Then, Joya Katner came up and hit a ground ball to second where the second baseman fielded the ball and promptly threw the ball wildly to first base.

The ball careened off the first baseman’s glove and rolled over toward the right field fence. As the first baseman chased the ball,

Dixon raced around the bases as fast as her legs could go.

She raced home before the defense could get the ball under control in the pitcher’s circle to score the sixth and deciding run in a thrilling 6-5 Polo victory.

For the game, Polo had six hits while Lanark had nine hits. With the win, Polo moved to 1-2 for the season.

In the evening’s finale, Polo One of the fifth and sixth grade division was coming off of their 1-0 decision over Dixon One, three nights earlier.

Amboy was their guest in this contest. Harper Clark, making her first start of the year, pitched a good game allowing Polo to take a 15-5 win in just four innings.

Polo jumped off to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first and then added six in the bottom of the second to take a 7-0 edge. Faith Ukena led off the inning with a walk.

Following a strikeout, Autumn Gilbert singled putting runners at the corners. Natlalie McDuffy walked to fill the bases with just one down.

Peyton Knight walked to force in a run. Abby Gorzny then walked to force in another run.

A run scored on an infield out before Harper Clark helped out her own cause with a double that saw two more runs score. Nicole Boelens drove in Clark with a single to left.

The last runs of the inning were scored on a triple to center by Alex Dusing as the inning ended under the six run rule.

Amboy had just one good inning and that came in the top of the third. Trailing 7-0, a pair of walks put two runners on with none out.

Then, a single and a double rattled Clark as she saw Amboy break through with a pair of runs. She lost her control temporarily and issued five back to back walks before the final out was recorded as Amboy crept to within two at 7-5.

Polo would then put together two consecutive

innings of four run outbursts and Clark would settle down to hold Amboy scoreless as the hometown ladies took the win in just four innings under the ten-run rule.

Polo collected nine hits on the night with Autumn Gilbert, Abby Gorzny and Alex Dusing each having two hits apiece.

Clark went the route to pick up her first win in as many starts.

From the road, these games were reported in at press time. May 27, Polo One of the Junior Division journeyed to Forreston where they took an easy 17-0 win.

Polo led 1-0 after the first inning and then posted five more runs in the second due mainly to six walks in the inning. Nicole Boelens drove in a pair of runs with a hit down the first base line.

Adriana Wiggins, Peyton Knight and Madison Allen all had hits in the inning to drive in runs.

Polo had another big inning in the third. After Boelens struck out the side in the Forreston half of the second, Polo went right back to work by picking up another six runs in the third.

Boelens, Jasmine Badon and Kayla Boelens all singled to drive in runs. Polo would repeat the feet in the fourth adding another six runs.

Abby Gorzny had a double to bring in a pair of runs.

Marah Blake brought in two more runs with a single.

Natalie McDuffy and Faith Ukena each had an RBI to complete the scoring.

Nicole Boelens did not allow a hit and struck out nine of the twelve batters she faced to pick up the win.

June 4, Polo Little Miss One travelled to Stockton to face Stockton Two. A host of Polo pitchers struggled to find the plate and issued a multitude of walks as did the Stockton pitchers. The game only went three innings under the one hour and forty-five minute time limit with Stockton ultimately emerging as 15-14 victors.

The marathon walking contest result in a six -ll tie

after one, a 9-8 Stockton advantage after two and then with Polo leading 14-9 in what proved to be the final inning, the hosts were the recipients of six more runs due to base on balls to claim the win.

Polo managed only a Teah Almasy hit offensively although they received only one less walk than Stockton.

June 5, Polo One was again on the road at River Ridge where they dropped a 19-6 decision.

After being shutout in the top of the first, Polo pitcher Aylivia Danekas had two outs with two down in the bottom of the inning until an error led to runners at the corners.

As has been the case in the young season, walks have led to numerous runs and so did the play on this evening.

River Ridge was issued six more walks and by inning’s end had put up six runs without benefit of a hit. After one inning of play, Polo trailed 6-0 and would slip further and further behind for the rest of the game.

Trailing 13-0 in the top of the fourth, Polo had their one offensive rally of the game.

Liberty Dole led off the inning with a walk. Two more batters walked to fill the bases. Adrianna Tobin had a sacrifice to score a pair of runs.

Teah Almasy then drove a ball down the right field line to score a run. Karlea Frey then smashed a double to center field to score another run.

The next four batters walked to score three more runs to make it six runs for the inning and that by rule ended the inning with Polo trailing only by seven at 136.

Unfortunately for Polo, they would not score again as the hosts took the win at 19-6.

Polo had two hits for the night. Teah Almasy and Karlea Frey each had a single. With the loss, Polo One dropped to 1-3 for the campaign.

scoreless.

The visitors then scored six of their own in the third inning to grab a 15-6 lead.

Polo got one run in the bottom of the third but time expired as Mt. Carroll took the win.

On Wednesday, June 10, in Junior Division play, Polo One hosted Oregon Two. The game went three and one half innings and ended under the ten run mercy rule with Polo taking a 12-0 victory.

Neither team scored in the first, but in the bottom of the second, Polo broke through with six runs. Bre Cisketti led off the inning with a single.

Autumn Gilbert drew a walk.

Natalie McDuffy pushed Cisketti and Gilbert two second and third with one down. Kayla Boelens walked to fill the bases. Marah Blake forced in Cisketti with a base on ball.

Then, Alex Dusing smashed a two and one offering into right center field for an inside park homerun to give Polo a 5-0 lead.

Walks to Natalie Boelens and Peyton Knight kept the inning alive for Ally Simpson who singled to score Boelens and Knight to give Polo the maximum runs of six allowed in an inning as the home town ladies bolted to a 6-0 lead.

While the offense was having their moments, starting pitcher Harper Clark was having her way with the Oregon batters.

She struck out two of the three batters she faced in the first and second innings and repeated the feat in the third and fourth innings to cop the win, her second in as many starts.

In the bottom of the third, Polo added another six runs.

Bre Cisketti led off the inning with a single. She would score on three more consecutive walks.

Marah Blake then cracked a sharp triple to left center to score the three runners ahead of her. Blake would score when successive walks to Abby Gorzny and Harper Clark would lead to Natalie Boelens bringing in a pair of runs leaving the bases loaded.

A walk to Knight brought in the sixth run of the inning to give Polo a 12-0 lead enroute to the final score and a win for the Polo One. Alex Dusing had a single and a homerun while Natalie Boelens had two singles to pace Polo’s six hit attack.

Oregon did not have a hit off of Clark.

In the evening’s finale, Polo One hosted Stockton in Little Miss action. Polo One had been steamed rolled in their June 8 game against Mt. Carroll so the Polo ladies were looking for a better game on this evening and that is what they got as they took an 18-6 victory.

Polo One now looks to have a pitcher who can get the ball over or near the plate consistently in the person of Alissa Marschang.

Marschang would go the distance striking out seven

batters and issuing but one walk. Meanwhile, Polo’s defense turned in a good performance to go along with Marschang’s pitching effort to cop the victory.

Stockton got one run in the top of the first due to two singles and a double.

Polo’s defense, however, was able to hold the guests to just that one run as Marschang struck out the final batter she faced in the first to keep Stockton to just a run.

Polo came back with six runs in the bottom of the first.

Adrianna Tobin led off the inning with a single and went to third on an error.

An error on a ball hit by Teah Almasy saw Tobin score with ease as Almassy went to second. Three walks led to another run being forced in.

Alissa Marschang was hit by a pitch to bring in another run. Liberty Dole was also hit by the first pitch to her as another run scored.

With one down, two more walks brought in the final run of the inning as Polo grabbed an early 6-0 lead.

Following a scoreless second, Polo added another six runs in the third without benefit of a hit. They would repeat the feat in the fourth to win going away at 18-6.

Stockton completed their scoring with five runs in the third. A pair of singles and a double along with an error accounted for the visitors’ runs.

Marschang, however, struck out two batters and a good defensive play shut off the rally to allow Polo to go on to victory.

Those four games played at home were all that could be completed as bad weather made the field unplayable.

Hopes for a good weather week this week were in doubt at press time.

From the road, two games were reported in. On Tuesday, June 2, Polo’s Senior Division team travelled to Byron where they posted a 15-5 win.

Byron had a very good pitcher but the Polo ladies played well to take the win.

Emily Boelens had a home run in the first inning to get things going on a positive note while Cassie Bushman pitched a solid game to take the win.

For the evening, Polo had 11 hits with Emily Boelens having four of them with three singles and a homerun to pace the offense. With the victory, Polo moved to 4-0 on the season.

Thursday, June 4, Polo journeyed to Amboy where they posted a 14-6 win.

Cassie Bushman and Emily Boelens had triple to lead the offense.

Bushman went the distance to pick up her fifth win of the campaign. Along with a triple, Boelens also had a pair of singles. Along with her triple, Bushman had a single as well. Polo moved to 5-0 with the victory.

Van total loss in blaze west of Oregon A van was destroyed June 10 in a fire that started under its hood.

The vehicle was parked outside the Beauchem residence at 2076 S. Columbian Road, just south of Pines Road, west of Oregon, when the fire started shortly before noon.

Oregon Fire Chief Al Greene said the owner of the vehicle was inside the house and saw the flames.

He attempted to get the fire out but was unable to get the hood open.

Greene said the siding on the house was damaged by the fire.

Officials remind residents to stay safe around flood waters With more rain expected to fall later this week on already saturated ground, three state agencies are urging Illinois residents to stay safe around flood waters.

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA), the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) issued a joint press release Tuesday outlining the dangers of flood waters.

In addition, IEMA conducted a conference call with local emergency managers throughout Illinois to coordinate preparedness efforts for potential river flooding.

IDOT is monitoring weather

conditions and will continue to respond as necessary to any flooding situations that may occur, the press release said.

IDOT is also urging motorists to be alert for the possibility of standing water on roads.

“It only takes a few moments for your vehicle to be swept away by flooding,” said Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn. “If you come across a flooded section of road, turn around. Do not attempt to drive through flooded roads; it’s not worth the risk.”

Driving tips during flooding situations include: • Never attempt to drive through flooded roads.

• Even if a road covered by water seems shallow enough to cross, do not attempt to cross it.

• Seek higher ground if your vehicle stalls in a flooded area; do not attempt to push your vehicle out of the water.

IEMA Director James K. Joseph urges people to keep their children and themselves away from flood waters.

“Too often, we hear about children playing in flood waters being swept away by fast-moving currents, sometimes with tragic results” said Joseph. “Flood waters also may contain sewer overflows or harmful chemicals, so it’s particularly important to stay out of

flood waters.”

Additional flood safety tips include: • Avoid skin contact with sewer water, especially cuts and sores.

Keep them clean and covered.

• Do not eat or drink anything exposed to sewer water.

• Keep contaminated objects, water and hands away from mucous membranes (mouth, eyes and nose).

• Wash hands frequently, especially after bathroom use, before eating and immediately following contact with sewer water or contaminated objects or surfaces.

Joseph said anyone who experiences flooding in their

home should notify their insurance company.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) also is encouraging boaters to stay off the water when river levels rise.

“When rivers rise, conditions can be extremely hazardous to recreational boaters, and we strongly urge boaters to stay off the water,” said IDNR Director Wayne Rosenthal. “Submerged debris, strong currents and other dangerous conditions may exist.

Even the most experienced boaters can get into trouble in conditions like these.

Please play it safe and observe all river closures.”

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pickup substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.

Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.

Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm or other immune system disorders, some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from water runoff, and residential uses. infections. These people should seek advice about Organic chemical contaminants, including drinking water from their health care providers. synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen by-products of industrial processes and petroleum the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other production, and can also come from gas stations, microbial contaminants are available from the Safe urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.

Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

Source Water Information Source Water Name

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing.

We cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Source Water Assessment We want our valued customers to be informed about their water quality. If you would like to learn more, please feel welcome to attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. The source water assessment for our supply has been completed by the Illinois EPA. If you would like a copy of this information, please stop 815-732-7098

by City Hall or call our water operator at __________________.

To view a summary version of the completed Source Water Assessments, including: Importance of Source Water; Susceptibility to Contamination Determination; and documentation/recommendation of Source Water Protection Efforts, you may access the Illinois EPA website at http://www.epa.state.il.us/cgi-bin/wp/swap-fact-sheets.pl.

To determine Oregon's susceptibility to groundwater contamination, information obtained during a Well Site Survey performed by the Illinois Rural Water Association on October 20, 1998 was reviewed. Based on this information, several potential sources of contamination were identified within proximity of this water supply's wells. The Illinois EPA does not consider the city's source water susceptible to contamination. This determination is based on a number of criteria including: monitoring conducted at the wells; monitoring conducted at the entry point to the distribution system; and the available hydrogeologic data on the wells. In anticipation of the U.S. EPA's proposed Ground Water Rule, the Illinois EPA has determined that the water supply is not vulnerable to viral contamination. This determination is based upon the completed evaluation of the following criteria during the Vulnerability Waiver Process: the community's wells are properly constructed with sound integrity and proper site conditions; a hydrogeologic barrier exists that should prevent pathogen movement; all potential routes and sanitary defects have been mitigated such that the source water is adequately protected; monitoring data did not indicate a history of disease outbreak; and a sanitary survey of the water supply did not indicate a viral contamination threat. Because the community's wells are constructed in a confined aquifer, which should minimize the movement of pathogens into the wells, well hydraulics were not considered to be a significant factor in the vulnerability determination. Hence, well hydraulics were not evaluated for this groundwater supply.

CHILD CARE

512

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))

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Romance is in your stars, and making special plans for two or getting out and meeting someone new and exciting is encouraged.

Share your ideas and goals in order to receive insightful input.
