Seeds of America sown 238 years ago

By Chris Johnson Reporter America’s birthday was celebrated July 4 during a patriotic program on the historic Mt. Morris downtown campus.

Retired Colonel Chris Miller, U.S. Army, who has friends and family in Mt.

Morris, was the guest speaker for the event. “Usually at these event, the protocol is to say nice things about the dignitaries, but I am going to break protocol today,� said Miller. “Today is not about very important people, elected officials and dignitaries.�

He said the day is about the

American people. “The farmer, mechanic, truck drivers, waiters, police, fireman, soldiers, and troops,� he said. “It is about all of us —all of you that make this country work.�

He said Mt. Morris is home of the Illinois Freedom Bell and that by ringing the bell at 1 p.m. the community will

honor the words of a founding father, John Adams. “Yesterday I flew into Chicago from the desert Southwest,� said Miller. “From my 33,000 foot vantage point I was able to surveyed the fertile vastness of America’s heartland. This is the heartland, the corn belt, Turn to A2

A Polo couple asked the city council Monday night for more land.

Tommy and Lori Blake, 706 N. Adams Ave., asked the council to consider either selling them the land east of their property or vacating it.

Lori told the council that they want to build a garage behind their house but will have no way to access it from Adams Avenue.

Instead, she said, they would like to access it from the back through what was formerly the Illinois Central Railroad right-of-way, now owned by the city.

She said they would like to own the property directly behind their parcel, which is 60 feet wide.

The former railroad rightof way is 100 feet wide and runs for several blocks. The portion behind the Blakes’ property is overgrown with trees and brush.

City attorney Tom Suits said that if the city vacates the property, half would go to each adjoining property owner, which means the Blakes would get half and Charles Schmidt, who owns the parcel on the other side, would get the other half.

If the city sells the property, Suits said state statutes require that it but first be appraised, and the sale price must be at least 80 percent of the appraised value.

He said the buyer would likely be required to pay for

the appraisal as well.

Schmidt, as an adjoining property owner, would also be offered an opportunity to buy the property, Suits said.

Alderman Matt Mekeel advised the Blakes to look into purchasing a larger piece of the property than just what is behind their house, or getting a permanent easement through it.

He pointed out that because their parcel is in the middle of the block, they would remain landlocked without making an arrangement to gain access to Elkhorn Street to the south of their property.

Lori said they will speak with Schmidt and other neighbors and bring a proposal back to the council.

In another matter, alderman Cheryl Galor reported that the Polo swimming pool is up and running.

The new filter room is operational and passed a state inspection last month before opening June 14.

In its first 10 days of operation, Galor said attendance was 838 and revenues were $4,549.

City clerk Susie Corbitt said the revenues were high because numerous seasonlong pool passes were sold.

In other business the council: s SENT A PROPOSED ORDINANCE for additional yield and stop signs back to Suits to add revisions for parking, s SENT AN INQUIRY ABOUT allowing golf carts on city streets to the Police Committee for study.

Ambulances may be donated

By Vinde Wells Editor Although it’s not official yet, plans are in the works to transfer the Oregon Ambulance Service, Inc. building and ambulances to the Oregon Fire Protection District.

Betty Ferris, who comanaged the service with her husband Jim, said July 2 that the building at 101 Madison St. and two ambulances were given to the fire district the day before. “That’s where they should go. We have to complete the paperwork yet,� she said.

Fire Chief Don Heller said Monday that attorneys for both entities are working out

the details. “It’s not officially done.

The lawyers are still negotiating,� he said.

The matter is on the agenda for the July 9 meeting of the fire protection district board of trustees. The meeting, which is open to the public, starts at 7 p.m. the fire district’s administration building at 106 S. First St., Oregon.

The Oregon Ambulance Service Inc., a not-for-profit corporation, closed its doors June 17, leaving the Oregon community without its own ambulance service.

Ferris said then that the closing was due to financial reasons.

She notified the fire board

at its June 11 meeting.

The Oregon Fire Protection District is one of very few fire districts without a taxsupported ambulance service.

Fire district officials will likely place a referendum to tax for an ambulance service on the ballot either in November of this year or next April.

The fire district signed a 10-month contract last week with ATS Medical Services, Loves Park for ambulance service in the fire protection district.

Since July 1 an ATS ambulance and crew are based at the Oregon Fire Station and answer calls from Turn to A2

Soggy weather did not dampen queen’s spirit

By Vinde Wells Editor

LFR drew large crowds

By Vinde Wells Editor A larger than normal crowd turned out to enjoy Mt. Morris’ Let Freedom Ring festival in perfect summer weather. “We did really well. The weather was beautiful, and all the events were well-attended,� said LFR Committee Chairman Mark Lewis.

After a soggy, cold start July 2 for the annual queen coronation and Little Miss

Firecracker pageant, the skies cleared and the mercury soared to a comfy 80 daytime degrees for the rest of the four-day festival.

Lewis said Monday that an exact count was not yet available, but estimated that 5,000 to 8,000 people attended the event. “The fireworks and parade as always were the biggest draws,� he said.

He said the crowds at both events appeared to be bigger than usual, and the collections taken at the fireworks were

larger than last year’s.

He praised the group of dedicated volunteers who make up the LFR Committee and others who helped out throughout the festival. “Without them and the community we couldn’t do this,� Lewis said. “This is a really great community.�

He said planning has already begun for the 2015 festival, and he urged the community to get involved. “The more volunteers we have the more we can do,� he said.

Mother Nature didn’t exactly cooperate July 2 for the Let Freedom Ring festival’s opening activities. “We were all soaked but we had fun. We made the best of it,� said 2014 LFR Queen Kristin Vandesand, who was crowned during a steady rain.

With temperatures in the low 60s and cloudy skies, the seven contestants in the Little Miss Firecracker Contest wore jackets over their fancy red, white and blue dresses.

Despite the damp chill, they were high spirits as they came on stage to be introduced, answer questions, and show off their talents.

Last year’s Little Miss Firecracker Alexa Ellison was all smiles and hugs as she crowned her twin

sister MiKaila as the contest winner.

First runner-up was Peyton Boyd.

A mist had begun to fall just as the Let Freedom Ring Queen pageant got off to a start. By the time the girls, all dressed in formals, were being escorted to the band shell stage it had turned into a drizzle and then downright steady rain.

The weather cut short the traditional queen pageant with its candidate interviews and impromptu questions.

Local radio personality Sam Ramirez announced the girls as they walked to the stage, and moved right to the awards as soon as all eight were seated. “The rain really speeded up the coronation,� said Miranda Burke, one of the pageant coordinators. “The girls were

wet and cold.�

Vandesand was crowned Mt. Morris’ 60th Fourth of July Queen, with Samantha Miller chosen as LFR Princess.

Members of the Royal Court were Abigail Baker, Beth Obendorf, Kelsey Pudlas, Sarah Scott, Soledad Silva, and Lexie Walker.

Miller was the essay contest winner; the cutest baby contest was won by Obendorf, and Pudlas was the talent winner.

The girls stepped off the stage for photos in a cold rain as their high heels sank into the soggy lawn.

But they never stopped smiling. “We had a really great group of girls and they did a great job,� Burke said.

All eight will be seniors at Oregon High School this fall.

Ask questions every day From A1 the breadbasket.�

Seeing the country from the air gave Miller time to think and reflect. “It dawned on me that each field took a tremendous amount of work to feed or nation and the world,� he said.�You can’t just throw down some seeds and expect a bumper crop.�

Miller went on to explain how farming and independence can be related. “To me there is a direct correlation between farming and American independence,� he said. “Two-hundred-thirtyeight years ago, 56 of our forefathers planted the seeds of liberty by signing the declaration of independence.

The signing was only the seed. From that day forward it was up to us to work the fields of freedom.�

The community can work

to continue this document, Miller said. “My first point is this.

Like a field of corn that must be renewed, our freedoms must be renewed and cared for,� said Miller. “Vote, be involved in your community, and be aware. When you say those politicians in Ogle County, Washington D.C., remember the words of Lincoln and Jefferson that this is a government ‘of the people, by the people, and for the people.’ And guess what, you are the people,�

His second point was to seek knowledge and truth. “Ask questions of your elected officials and hold them accountable,� Miller said. “If they won’t listen, make them listen with your vote.�

Anyone can make a difference in the community and the world, he said. “A few years back a

neighbor of yours down in Dixon helped end the Cold War,� said Miller. “His name was Ronald Reagan.

One person can make a difference.�

His third point was to live within your means.

He said the nation is $17 in debt.

The fourth was to be a giver not a taker. “This nation remains a beacon of those looking to be free,� said Miller. “If you take or receive all the time you rely on someone else.�

He said it was important to give and help make the country better for everyone. “This is the greatest nation on earth,� said Miller. “To these United States of America, I say happy birthday. You are 238 years young, and may you continue to grow old and strong. Mt. Morris, Happy Independence Day.�

Ambulance service is going well From A1 there. “The ambulance service is going well,� Heller said The Polo Area Community Theatre presents ‘The Seussification of Romeo and Juliet’ Monday.

He said ATS has responded at Louise Quick Park in Polo on July 18, 19, and 20 at 7 p.m. Photo supplied to at least a dozen calls in its

Was there a Ft. Morris?

By Betty Obendorf Curator Polo Historical Society This week while getting myself in a 4th of July frame of mind and answering some questions for Polo Historical Society, I got into the history of Mt. Morris.

Was the name of Ft. Morris on a glass case a mistake or was there at one time a Ft. Morris? So I went to our library in the museum and turned to the book, “Mount Morris: Past And Present.”

According to page 32, the town was named in honor of Bishop Robert Morris of the Methodist Episcopal Church and it was possible that he might have been in the community during the early Rock River Seminary days.

They really were not certain.

Another possibility was that a Horace Miller named the town after a place he had previously lived called Mount Morris, Genesee County, N. Y. Mr. Miller was also a prominent person in the Methodist Church at Kishwaukee. So we have two possibilities and Ft. Morris seems to be either somewhere else or a mistake.

After reading about early Mt. Morris, I was ready for another big celebration and

Corn boil is July 26 Pine Creek News

By Karen Merlak It was a beautiful weekend to celebrate the birthday of our country. I hope everyone had a wonderful Independence Day. We give thanks to our God that made this great nation.

This morning in church, we were greeted by Robert Toms, Jr. Sue Downs read the scripture lesson before Pastor Gregg Downs gave the morning message.

Pastor Gregg also gave the children’s message to his granddaughters, Kelsey and Kaiyle Horton, and Cameron Jones, granddaughter of Kent and Judy Nettz.

It was very nice to see Wanda Wiggins in church this week with her son, Todd Wiggins. Her church family is glad to see her each week.

Also visiting our church this morning were Jim and Nancy Hopkins’ daughter, Amy Rasmussen and her husband, Darren, who were visiting from Gilbert, Ariz.

Amy was back for her class of 1989 reunion over the weekend.

While in town, Amy and Darren were a part of the Mt. Morris parade on the 4th of July. Jim Hopkins drove his antique truck with Darren in the passenger seat, advertising the class reunion.

Darren enjoyed being a

some of that grilled sausage at the Mt. Morris Fire Station.

Many members of our family would be heading in that direction since Beth, our granddaughter, was a part of the queen contest.

Wednesday was questionable from the start as far as the weather was concerned and we all thought we did not need more rain.

Then we found out our great-grandsons would not be here since their mother, Amy was in the hospital. We look forward to seeing the little boys at any occasion.

The rest of the family still gathered for a dinner as the mist and rain alternated. In the mist we started for the “Crowning of the Queen” armed with umbrellas and heavy jackets.

We also had just gotten word that Amy was in an ambulance headed for Indianapolis and she would not be able to take part in the crowning of the queen by the latest technology.

The eight girls all looked lovely lined up on the arm of their escorts as the rain came down and the umbrellas went up. It was a rather cold damp evening and the first time I remember having those kind of conditions. I felt sorry for the girls and their lovely gowns.

Usually when it is over with we stay and enjoy the band concert but on this particular evening we all just wanted to go home, dry out, and find out more of what was happening in our family.

Not just exactly what we had anticipated for this Fourth of July celebration.

We were also getting ready for our son Steve and grandson, Daniel, for a day of work at our home the next day. We had trees to be trimmed, shrubs to be clipped, and mildew to be washed off the house.

We were fortunate to have a beautiful, hot, rainless day as we worked outside enjoying slush punch on the back of the truck and strawberry short cake as a mid afternoon snack.

On Friday morning we enjoyed the Mt. Morris Firemen’s breakfast as we always do and then headed uptown for the program in the square.

It was a beautiful day and a far cry from the cold, rainy Wednesday night. Soon Bruce and Robin arrived with the great grandsons so they could have a part in ringing the Freedom Bell with Aunt Beth and see the parade.

Hopefully something they will not forget.

Grace Valley Christian Reformed Church will host its ninth annual corn boil on Saturday, July 26 from 5 to 7 p.m. rain or shine. The church is located at 8210 E. Edwardsville Rd., northeast of German Valley.

No fee will be charged for the food or evening activities, but free will oferings will be accepted. part of this small town celebration.

Ron and Sharon Baker also participated in the Mt. Morris parade driving their antique car. Ron’s granddaughter, Joelle Baker, was surprised to see her grandparents in the parade.

Ron and Sharon had a delicious barbecue lunch with all the fixings at the home of Sharon’s parents, Bob and Eleanor Stauffer, in Mt. Morris.

After the parade and dinner, they watched the great fireworks display. By the end of the day, Ron and Sharon were tired out, but very happy for the wonderful time they spent with family and friends.

Mike Hopkins and his daughter, Theresa, have just returned from a trip to Glacier National Park in Canada. While there, they rode the zip line, hiked and whitewater rafted. On the 4th of the July, they visited Alberta, Canada, for the day.

Mike and Theresa also enjoyed seeing the wildlife including bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and a black bear that ran out in front of them while driving though Glacier National Park.

They also hiked through a lot of snow in their shorts.

The weather was beautiful which only added to a great vacation.

Deb Ohlwine and her daughters, Katie Pfundstein and Anna Ohlwine, have also returned from a weekend trip out east. On Friday morning, the three travelers arrived

in Boston, Mass.. They ate at Cheers, road a swan boat in Boston Commons, and followed the Freedom Trail.

They also visited the JFK Presidential Library. They put their feet in the ocean and ate lots of seafood while there. One of the highlights was watching the Chicago Cubs beat the Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Our home has been much quieter lately. Clint has been very busy at camp, but took time off to go with me to see the fireworks in Mt. Morris.

We enjoyed visiting over dinner and I got hear many camp stories while waiting for the fireworks.

On Friday afternoon, I went to the Petunia Festival to hear Tristan Bushman and Burn ‘n Bush perform.

I joined my aunt and uncle, Janet and Ronnie Bushman, several cousins, and their families while we watched our very talented family members.

I ended the weekend with a nice, long, overdue phone call from daughter, Stephanie. She may have been home a couple weeks ago, but I already miss her.

On Sunday afternoon, Clint was home for a short time to do laundry. While waiting for the clothes to dry, I enlisted his help with a home project. We installed a new thermostat.

I had read and heard that it was an easy do-it-yourself project. It still looked intimidating, but Clint and I forged ahead.

Following a career in business including a store manager for Edward Hines Lumber Company, he was ordained a priest in May, 1997, and has served in several parishes in the Rockford Diocese.

Immediately prior to coming to Polo, Father Tosto served as Associate Pastor at St. Andrews Catholic Church

in Rock Falls.

Rev. Tosto was honored at a breakfast gathering following his final Mass in Polo at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, June 29.

St. Mary’s church was packed as a large number of Father Tosto’s friends joined with the Polo congregation to wish him well.

Attendees came from several parishes in the Rockford Diocese where Rev. Tosto had previously served.

In a short time, the new thermostat was installed, programmed and working to cool our home.

Facing a small home improvement project doesn’t compare to the problems and tragedies we face in a lifetime. There have been so many times where I have

stood on the edge, afraid to move forward.

I know I can only go forward if God is with me.

God is with me every step, holding me, giving me comfort, as I take each step forward.

For all of those who face the unknown, God is with you.

He is holding you. He is encouraging you to move, one step at a time. I am so thankful for that kind of encouragement in my life.

I hope to see you next week for a Sunday filled with praise, worship, and spiritual newness as we continue to strengthen our bond with an amazing Father. There is

will consider doing a longer raffle or adding other events to the raffle schedule, such as a ‘loser’ draw or an early draw for a specific charity.

Tickets for the BCR Community Raffle are $1 each. Winners do not need to be present at the ByronFest drawing in order to win as long as they have written their name and phone number on their ticket.

The winner will be announced at ByronFest.

State St. Michael R. Jeffords, Ph. D., a retired entomologist with the Illinois Natural History Survey, will speak at 9 a.m. on Saturday, July 26 on the topic, “Surrounding Yourself with Nature: Strategies for the Home Landscape.�

Jeffords is co-author with his wife, Susan Post, of a new book, “Exploring Nature in Illinois: A Field Guide to the Prairie State.�

The program is free to Wild Ones members; a $5 donation is requested for others.

Participants will learn how including native plants that attract butterflies, bees and birds.

Nine natural yards and public spaces that feature native wildflowers and other

plants that the casual gardener can plant to attract birds and butterflies, including monarchs, will be open to visit from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 26 and from 1 to 5: p.m. on Sunday, July 27.

their summer breeding habitat in the eastern U.S. and southern Canada as astonishing 3,000 miles to overwintering grounds in the mountains of central Mexico.

One of nature’s most spectacular events, the monarch migration is endangered in North America due to loss of habitat in its wintering area in Mexico, pesticides, and a dramatic decline in native milkweeds.

Monarch caterpillars require milkweeds to grow and develop into butterflies.

In addition to the important role that milkweeds play in the lives of monarchs, they are valuable nectar sources for bees and other butterflies.

Enhancing monarch habitat along roads and highways, in yards and parks, and in natural habitats by planting milkweeds and other native species will benefit many important insects.

The Wild Ones Rock River Valley Chapter is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2014 by hosting this public event.

Sponsors include the University of Illinois Extension, and Taylor Creek Restoration Nurseries in Brodhead, Wis. Wild Ones promotes the use of native plants for environmentally-sound landscapes.

It holds monthly programs open to the public, Show Me/Help Me yard tours, and annual native plant sales.

Polo-Forreston Beat

Tri-County Press, Forreston Journal, Thursday, July 10, 2014, Page A8

Forreston takes on Millegeville in Little Miss action

By Larry Loomis Saturday, July 5, Forreston Two hosted Milledgeville for the championship of the Carroll County League Little Miss play In that game, Milledgeville would score first with a run in the very first inning on a Paige Miller leadoff triple and a single by Macie Stirrup to grab a 1-0 lead.

That solo run would prove to be Milledgeville’s last hurrah

as Forreston Two’s pitcher Kara Erdman would throttle the high-powered offense of the visitors the rest of the way out.

She would strike out 14 of the next 16 batters she faced to lead Forreston Two to a 7-1 victory to cop first place honors.

Milledgeville’s starting pitcher Paige Miller would hold Forreston in check in the bottom of the first but in the second the home team broke

out on top with three runs.

A leadoff single followed by a walk and then a one-out hit batsman would lead to the bases being loaded with two down.

A walk and another hit batsman along with yet another walk would produce three runs for Forreston and give them a 3-1 lead they would never surrender.

Neither team would score until the bottom of the fifth when the home team

exploded for four runs to take a commanding 7-1 into the top of the sixth.

Four base on balls and a Kara Erdman triple produced the desired results for Forreston as they went on to take the Little Miss Tournament honors this year.

Forreston had just two hits for the game to three for Milledgeville.

In the single game played outside the league tourney, Polo Two hosted Stillman

Polo 2 hosted Oregon 2 on July 3

By Jill Blake Polo 2 the Indians hosted a game vs. Oregon 2 on July 3.

The first inning had Spencer Scott start out as pitcher. He had a hard time getting the strikes in for the Oregon batters to swing at.

He managed one strikeout before they inserted Cooper Blake into the pitchers mound.

Blake got two strikeouts but

Oregon managed to walk in four runs.

Polo determined to get some runs back. The team got walks from Daniel Dominguez, Carson Jones, Cayden Webster, Emily Allen and Spencer Scott.

Login Hicks got a single at end of inning to bring in three of the five runs. Allen and Scott got the other two RBIs. During the second inning, Polo got out of the inning

without any additional runs scoring. The outs were by pitcher Blake getting three strikeouts.

Polo also did not score in second inning. They had a good hit by Eli Baumann but he failed to get home for any runs.

The third inning, Oregon scored five runs. Pitcher Blake did get two strikeouts in the inning.

Blake started out the third

inning with a single. Allen walked and Scott tripled with a strong swing of the bat to bring in two runs.

Daniel Engel walked, and Hicks singled bringing in another run. Teburden Miller, Baumann and Dominguez walked to bring in the last two runs to get five runs and the win by one over Oregon.

The final score was Polo 10, Oregon 9.

Three here July 2. The game was played under soggy skies and cold temperatures that made a long evening even longer before Polo emerged with an 11-9 win.

The game turned out to be a walk-a-thon as neither team could find a pitcher who could get the ball over the plate. Polo had not had a game in a week and the rust showed.

Starting pitcher, Becca Wagner walked batter after batter in her stint as pitcher. A combination of lack of control and an often wet ball make pitching difficult.

When Alex Dusing relieved Wagner things did not improve as she also struggled with control.

Stillman’s pitching was good for one inning as they held Polo scoreless for the first

inning but from there things went downhill.

Stillman’s group of pitchers would walk a total of ten Polo batters in just the three innings that were played. Polo’s two pitchers walked 16 batters.

Polo had three hits for the game with those coming in a five-run third. Alex Dusing led off with a double and scored on Sierra Wolfley’s single.

Following a walk to Becca Wagner that filled the bases, Mallory Pattersom smashed a double to left to score two runs. An error on a ball hit by Kayley Lowry led to a run.

Abby Gorzny scored another run on a single to cap off the scoring and give Polo an 11-9 win as time expired. Alex Dusing picked up the win in relief and sent Polo to a perfect 12-0 record for the season.

Oregon Trail Days

Ogle County Newspapers, Thursday, July 10, 2014, Page A9

www.oglecountynews.com

Oregon Trail Days July 19-20 The Fifth and Final Year The Festival Committee welcomes you to 5th and Final Year of Oregon Trail Days, a celebration of our Native American and Western history.

We hope you enjoy the unique entertainment and activities that fill this two day event.

This five year endeavor has been both challenging and rewarding for the seven member committee who were committed to bringing economic growth, public awareness and tourism to Oregon. It has been an investment in the future of Oregon and a commitment to the restoration of Lorado Taft’s Black Hawk Statue.

Now that a majority of the funding has been raised and the restoration of Black Hawk is starting, it is a great time to go out with a BANG– which is exactly the way for a festival celebrating Western and Native American Heritage should go out.

While the non-paid committee has worked diligently to bring you an exciting, unique

and fun event it would not have been possible without the many community members who have helped to make this Festival a success.

Over 250 businesses, organizations and individuals have donated time, money, and equipment to the Oregon Trail Days Festival.

We encourage you to support our sponsors and acknowledge their generous contributions.

The Committee thanks all of you visitors, sponsors, volunteers, demonstrators, food vendors, cowboys, cowgirls, Native Americans, entertainers merchants and the like for making the Oregon Trail Days Festival one of the most interesting, unique and successful events in North West Illinois Thank you for joining us.

New performers for the 2014 Native American Dance Circle Ronald Preston, member of the San Carlos Apache nation from Arizona, has recently signed on to perform for the Oregon Trail Days Festival.

Ronald has traveled all over the United States and Canada competing, performing and teaching Native American culture to young and old alike.

With a lifetime of experience, Ronald with help from his family will sing, dance and present stories for the visitors of the event.

He is a champion Native American grass dancer, a very accomplished singer and has held many pow-wow Head Staff positions throughout the Midwest.

The highest honor he has been given was to serve as Head Man Dancer at the 2005 Gathering of Nations Pow-Wow. He is a certified arborist, but truly enjoys sharing and providing native culture with others.

The festival committee is delighted to have found Ronald to participate in the 5th and final Oregon Trail Days Festival.

“We were so fortunate to have located Ronald who now lives in Wisconsin, “said committee member Beth Henderson. “Ronald and his family will bring a whole new element to the Native American dance circle, not only dancing but providing the story behind the dance and the beautiful regalia that the Native Americans wear.”

Tipi camping is one of the unique experiences offered at Oregon Trail Days.

Camping participants will not only be part of the festival action but special activities are planned for the adventurers as well.

A communal campfire will be enjoyed by all as well as s’more making and story telling Cost of camping is $79 per tipi per night with 3-4 people fitting comfortably in the standard tipis.

The tipis are very rustic so campers will want to plan on bringing all the creature comforts such as sleeping bags, pillows and air mattresses.

The festival will provide a plastic drop cloth to help with the natural ground moisture.

Food will be available during the festival by local

vendors and there are many restaurants in Oregon just two miles away.

The Lorado Taft Field Campus will host a Breakfast on Sunday, July 20 from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

Some tipis will be auctioned off at end of this year’s festival Ever thought about owning your very own authentic Native American tipi but wouldn’t even know where to begin looking for one.

Well, look no further, the Oregon Trail Days will be auctioning off several of their painted tipis after the 2014 event.

Sponsored by local businesses and painted by local artists, the original tipis have been a part of the Oregon Trail Days Festival and the Oregon Trail of Painted Tipis since the

events’ inception in 2010.

The tipis have not only served as a unique marketing tool to entice visitors to the festival but have been used during the event as a beautiful back drop in celebrating the Native American history of the area.

Each tipi is 14 feet tall, comes with poles and a “door” plus a distinctive painted scene. No two tipis are the same. The tipis are great for camping or just as a lawn decoration for home or business. Festival committee

members will be happy to show you how to set it up.

Silent bids will start at $100 per Tipi and bids will be taken starting on Saturday, July 19 at 9 a.m. through Sunday at 4 p.m.

All proceeds will go to the restoration of the Black Hawk Statue.

Tipi Dan, the festival’s expert on all things tipi, will be available for questions.

Tipis that are up for auction will have special signs.

Camping in a tipi is one of the unique attractions to Oregon Trail Days. The tipis are set up at Lowden State Park, where all the action is for the 2014 festival including a special campfire activity. The park also offers a shower house for campers. Don’t delay...get your reservation for tipi camping today.

Polo faces tough challenges in NUIC conference

By Patrick Mason Shaw Media Polo football coach Andrew Hofer knows that he has to have his team prepared each week in order to stand a chance in an NUIC Upstate conference that he believes is one of the best Class 1A football conferences in the state.

“I think that the history of our conference shows that we’re one of the best,” said Hofer, who is entering his fourth season as the Marcos’ head coach. “It’s typical for us to play good conference games week in and week out.

You have to be ready.”

Hofer led the Marcos to a 4-5 record a year ago, while playing the toughest schedule in the conference when looking at opponents’ won-loss records. Polo’s opponents finished the year 47-41, tops in the league.

But when looking over the 2014-15 schedule, Hofer

sees room for improvement despite who lines up across from his squad.

“Looking at our record, obviously we’re not satisfied,” Hofer said. “This season, we have a nice mix of upperclassmen and a good group of incoming juniors.

Everyone is really excited.”

The Marcos open the season at home against East Dubuque, a team that went 7-3 a season ago, before making road trips to AFC, and last season’s conference winner Stockton in Week 3.

Another tough road game falls in Week 6 against Eastland-Pearl City, which went 10-1 last season.

Polo closes it’s season against three teams with losing records.

“We feel that it doesn’t really matter what the week is,” said Hofer, when asked when he preferred to face tough teams. “The best come at you often, and every Friday night you have to be ready to

play.

Milledgeville, which finished last season at 3-6, doesn’t have any extended road trips or home stretches this season, switching from home and away each week.

The Missiles hope to pick up wins early in the season in hopes to withstand a tough back-half of the schedule.

Milledgeville closes with three of its last four games against teams with winning

records last season. this stretch of the season that AFC suffered a down year the Raiders can rely on to put last season at 1-8, but figures everything together. to add a few more wins this “You’re always going to season. The Raiders open the season by playing two of their first three games on the road, before coming home for four out of five games.

The Raiders face two teams that had winning records last season during that final stretch in Stockton (11-1) and East Dubuque (7-3). It is in

State of the Statue

Experts waiting for go-ahead to repair Black Hawk

By Vinde Wells Editor Fundraising continues while the team of experts ready to repair the wellknown Black Hawk statue waits for the go-ahead from two state agencies.

Frank Rausa, Sterling, who is spear-heading the effort to repair the 103-yearold concrete statue, said the project team has not yet received approval of a plan submitted to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and Illinois Historic Preservation Agency (IHPA).

“We haven’t heard from the state yet. They’re reviewing it [the plan],” Rausa said Monday.

He said the IDNR’s approval is required because

the statue, which overlooks the Rock River from a high bluff at Lowden State Park, is under that agency’s jurisdiction.

The IDNR received a $350,000 grant for the project from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

Because the statue has landmark status, the IHPA must also sign off. Black Hawk has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2009.

The project team is made up of Amy Lamb Woods, the project manager and a preservation materials engineer; Andrzej Dajnowski, the conservator; Anne T. Sullivan, historic preservation consultant; and Rausa’s wife Charron, who is involved in the fundraising efforts.

At press conference on June 24, Rausa said the $724,000 already raised to repair the 50-foot statue will not likely be enough.

“We have sufficient funds to do 80 percent of the work,” he said.

Woods said at the press conference that testing and evaluations done recently show that three areas of the Black Hawk statue are in dire need of repairs.

Woods is an engineer with Thorton Tomasetti, Chicago, an architectural firm that provides engineering design, investigation, and analysis services to clients worldwide.

The folded arms of the statue, especially the elbows and underneath the arms; the middle of the robe; and the vertical fold in the robe from armpit to toe are the critical

areas, Woods said.

The areas are spalled, meaning chunks of concrete have already fallen out, and delineated, meaning areas of concrete are loose and ready to fall.

Woods was a member of the team of experts who measured, cored, and poked the statue last fall and again this spring to find out how bad the toll taken by the ravages of time and weather actually is.

“The damage is way more than we expected,” she said.

Despite that, she said some parts of the statue remain in good shape.

“The head is actually in very good condition,” Woods said. “The back side of the statue is in relatively good condition.

The core of the statue is also

sound. Steel reinforcement rods inside several inches of concrete under the outer layers show no corrosion, Woods said.

Except for the damaged outer layers, “we have a pretty stable structure,” she said.

Woods said she hopes

the scaffolding will be in place by mid-July with the work beginning sometime in August.

Created by sculptor Lorado Taft in 1910 as a tribute to all Native Americans, the statue draws thousands of visitors each year.

Report on statue’s condition shows repairs are needed Editor’s note: This report on the condition of Black Hawk Statue and recommended repairs was provided by Frank Rausa, Sterling, at a June 24 press conference. The report was presented by Amy Lamb Woods of Thornton Tomasetti, a member of the project team.

Lorado Taft’s 50-foot tall Eternal Indian Statue (commonly referred to as the Blackhawk Statue), located at Lowden State Park, Oregon, was constructed out of concrete in December of 1910, then later unveiled and dedicated in July of 1911.

During construction the concrete was monolithically placed in lifts with a thick interior structural concrete with a hollow void in the center, and an approximately two-inch exterior finish concrete.

The 103-year old Statue has lived through several previous repair projects, most recently in circa 1990.

Current damage to the statue prompted the recent Phase 2 Investigation and Documentation project.

Thornton Tomasetti, Chicago, was contracted in October of 2013, to undertake this recent investigation, which is a follow-up and more detailed investigation than the previous limited study of the Statue conducted by Thornton Tomasetti in the later part of 2008.

The four purposes of the Phase 2 study are to: 1) Assess the current condition of the Statue

2) Determine the composition and chemistry of the original concrete materials use during construction of the Statue.

3) Evaluate previously implemented repairs and treatments and how they affected the Statue 4) Develop restoration plan, which is slated to begin in the summer of 2014.

In October, 2013, a team from Dynasty Group, Chicago, Ill., used digital laser scanners to document the existing shape of the Blackhawk Statue. Thornton Tomasetti’s Research and Development Group, New York, N.Y. used this data to create a 3D model of the Statue. Dynasty Group also used non-destructive testing (e.g. ground penetrating radar) to determine the location of some of the reinforcing steel bars within the Statue.

In April, 2014, an up-close investigation was performed by Thornton Tomasetti using an articulating boom lift to be able to access most of the Statue. During the investigation much of the Statue’s surface was sounded using a metal probe to determine areas that are unsound or delaminated. Upclose observations were made and significantly damaged areas were documented. The arms, the areas under the arms, the vertical fold in the robe, and a large section in the middle of the robe of the Statue were found to have the most damage.

Samples were removed from the Statue and sent to

Schmitt Technical Services, Inc., Cross Plains, Wis., for laboratory petrographic analysis to determine the composition and condition of the outer finish concrete and the condition of the structural concrete. Some of the samples were miscellaneous pieces that fell from the Statue and were collected at the base by Lowden State Park Staff. Six core samples were extracted from selected locations on the Statue. The laboratory results helped to understand the current condition of the concrete and will be used to replicate the original concrete mix used in the outer finish concrete.

Results from the current investigation of the Blackhawk Statue are much more significant than was anticipated and greater than what was documented in Thornton Tomasetti’s 2008 report. This past winter also played a role in the Statue’s deterioration as the damage is even more severe than what was documented by laser scanning in October, 2013. Areas of the Statue are so badly deteriorated that engineers were unable to sound the concrete in some areas for fear of dislodging the delaminated concrete.

Water infiltration continues to cause damage to the Statue.

Efflorescence and calcium carbonate deposits are signs of water infiltration and are visible at many of the cracks on the Statue. Most significant locations where efflorescence is leaching can be found on much of the front at the Statue

near spall and delaminated areas as well on the sides below the Statue’s arms. Full restoration of the Statue is now at a critical state in the Statue’s life.

About the Project Team: Amy Lamb Woods, P.E., Thornton Tomasetti, serves as the project manager and preservation materials engineer. Ms. Woods has 15 years of experience in the field of historic preservation and forensic engineering of materials and construction systems. She holds a B.S. and M.S. in Architectural Studies from the University of Illinois with a focus on historic preservation; and a M.S. in Civil Engineering Building Materials with a focus on concrete and cement chemistry.

Bidding on delinquent tax properties is underway Ogle County, as trustee, has completed its tax deed proceedings on real estate properties that were delinquent for 2010 and prior real estate taxes.

The county, as trustee, will now offer for sale the real estate obtained to the public.

Approximately 43 items will

be offered through a sealed bid auction sale.

All sealed bids must be in the Ogle County Treasurer’s office located at the Ogle County Courthouse, Fourth and Washington Streets, Oregon, no later than the close of business on Friday, July 25.

The sale of these lots should be a benefit to both the taxing districts and the neighboring property owners.

This sale will place the properties into the hands of the individuals who have an interest in owning them.

The county, as trustee, hopes that these new owners

will both maintain the property and keep the real estate taxes paid.

By eliminating abandoned properties, the appearance of the neighborhood should improve and the value of adjoining properties should increase.

The required minimum bid

is $630.50 per item.

All items will be sold to the highest sealed bid received on or before July 25.

Complete bidder’s packets and sale catalogs are now available at the Ogle County Treasurer’s office or online at www.iltaxsale.com.

For more information,

contact the Auction Sale Department of the Ogle County Tax Agent’s Office.

The telephone number is 1-800-248-2850 or 618-6565744 or visit www.iltaxsale. com.

As a charter member, it would be a shame for G-K to left out in the cold, especially after the strong allegiance they have shown since the inception of the BNC in 1991.

Incidentally, Byron, Oregon, Stillman and ‘Bago will be the only other charter members left after B-C, Harvard and Marengo leave. Another key factor in the future of the BNC is that Byron, Oregon, Stillman and ‘Bago have made it clear that they will stay together as a group, thus ensuring a voting bloc nucleus.

Rock Falls, Mendota and Dixon are excellent additions to the west division, fitting the rural demographic profile. Of the remaining four schools in the conference, GenoaKingston would be probably be the best choice for an eighth school, if it decided to have a separate eight-team conference.

Indeed, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

One final note. Even with

Andy Colbert a declining enrollment, Oregon shouldn’t even consider looking around for a smaller conference to compete in. The only possibility is the Three Rivers and though it is an excellent league, the Big Northern in where Oregon belongs.

It would be hard to imagine Oregon not competing against Byron, Stillman or ‘Bago on a regular basis. It’s a blessing to have four such comparable schools so close together.

Office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Sports Column Good news / bad news for Oregon sports

By Andy Colbert Reporter With the release of 201415 enrollments figures and classifications by the IHSA, it was good news/bad news for Oregon sports programs.

The good news is that Oregon remains in the same classifications for the various sports as they were last year.

They will be 1A in 3-class sports and 2A in four classes.

That’s a good fit, as they are either in the middle or towards the top of each class in terms of enrollment.

The bad news is that Oregon continues to decline in enrollment. The official IHSA enrollment for Oregon is 467, which is taken from figures provided by all schools in September of 2013. Though a year behind, they still work out fine for IHSA purposes.

Looking at current numbers for the high school, there are 101 freshmen, 146 sophomores, 104 juniors and 113 seniors, which would be about what last year’s enrollment was.

When that large sophomore group graduates in two years, Oregon could potentially be around 400 students.

The projected enrollments of the classes behind it are anywhere from 87 to 110 students.

When Oregon and Mt. Morris combined in 1994, the enrollment peak was 658 in 2000. Decades earlier, there were approximately 900 students between the two separate high schools.

These are very telling numbers on the demographic changes that have occurred over time. What does it mean for right now?

For starters, Oregon is smallest school in a very competitive athletic conference. New member Dixon comes into the BNC west division at 783 students, followed by Rock Falls

656, Rockford Lutheran 655 (with the 1.65 private school multiplier), Mendota 626, Stillman Valley 583, Winnebago 518 and Byron 494.

Say Dixon pops back up to 800-900 students and Oregon stays at 400, that’s a substantial competitive disadvantage.

However, with its geographic proximity, having Dixon in the BNC will prove to be a boon. It just may be a tough task for the Hawks against the Dukes and Duchesses.

Stillman, ‘Bago and Byron are also experiencing drops in enrollment, though not as drastic as Oregon. All those subdivisions that seemed to be springing up everywhere have dried up. North Boone, from the east side of the conference, is also seeing that.

Speaking of the conference, RichmondBurton and Johnsburg have officially decided to join Burlington Central, Harvard and Marengo in leaving the league, effective

2016-17. All will play in the new Kishwaukee River conference with Woodstock North and Woodstock.

Besides the aforementioned eight schools in the west division of the BNC, that leaves North Boone, Genoa-Kingston and Rock Christian remaining in the east. In terms of enrollment, each fits in perfectly with the west side.

However, 11 is an odd number for a conference.

Thus, the BNC has tough decision to make.

Does the west division stand pat with its eight teams, which is an ideal size for a conference, and let the three east division schools fend for themselves. The Kishwaukee River would certainly covet one of them, as they have only have seven schools. In fact, the original plan was for G-K to join them.

However, I think people in G-K believe they have more in common with schools from this area than those from the outlying suburbs.

BHS receives $3,000 grant Byron Community Revitalization (BCR) has made a $3,000 grant to Byron High School to help produce Challenge Day 2014 for all incoming freshman. “BCR conducts an annual fundraiser, an alumni basketball game, to help raise money for Challenge Day,�

Jamie Buck, BCR board president, said. “This $3,000 grant, to help pay for Challenge Day 2014, represents proceeds from our 2013 alumni game�.

The $3,000 grant, presented at the Byron School District Board of Education June meeting, brings the total amount BCR has donated to Challenge Day in the last four years to $12,500, according to Betsy Floski, BCR executive director.

Of that amount, $5,000 was in the form of grants entrusted to BCR by the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois.

The remainder was donated from BCR’s local fundraising efforts with the assistance of many business sponsors, including “Presenting Sponsor� Byron Bank. “The Byron Community Revitalization board identified Challenge Day as one of the most meaningful efforts in our community to benefit

youth and to help grow ethical young leaders,� Floski said. “Our partnership with the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois has helped us to provide a reasonably stable funding source for a program that, in light of local school funding challenges, might otherwise be in peril.�

Challenge Day is a twoday seminar designed to provide high school freshman with workshops that address cliques, gossip, negative judgments, harassment, intolerance and bullying.

Seminar leaders work with students, staff and community volunteers to help students reject stereotypes by recognizing the commonalities they all share.

BCR is a small communitybased not-for-profit that conducts a variety of annual fundraisers and uses the proceeds for community improvement projects.

BCR annually sponsors the Sunshine Park Farmer’s Market, the Façade Improvement Grant Program for local businesses, and makes annual charitable gifts to People Helping People and Operation Santa.

Sinnissippi Centers moving to new building this month Sinnissippi Centers’ new office in Oregon is days away from being open.

The agency announced Monday that the facility, at 100 Jefferson St., will open a few days before the July 17 ribbon-cutting and open house.

The 6,400-square-foot office will replace the 125 S. Fourth St. location.

The new facility will have 11 offices, two group homes, and a play therapy room for children.

“The new building will allow us great flexibility to provide group services and to meet the needs of both our adult and child/ adolescent population,”

Ribbon Cutting The Oregon Chamber of Commerce will have a ribbon-cutting at 12:45 p.m. on July 17 at the new Sinnissippi Centers office, 100 Jefferson Street in Oregon.

An open house will be held at the facility from 1 to 4 p.m. that day.

Patrick Phelan, Sinnissippi Centers president and CEO, said in a news release.

“Improved waiting rooms, reception areas, offices and other facilities will provide our clients the type of environment that is conducive to treatment and is welcoming to the public,” he said.

The new Oregon facility will be named in honor of Chet Kobel, a longtime

board member of SPF Corporation, the entity that has been overseeing the construction of new Sinnissippi Centers facilities.

“He has been a wonderful addition to our board and is a passionate advocate for the community mental health system,” Phelan said of Kobel.

Woman pleads guilty in elderly exploitation case

By Christi Warren Sauk Valley Media A Dixon woman pleaded guilty to misdemeanor computer tampering and must pay $10,000 in restitution in a 2013 case that originally accused her of

defrauding an elderly woman of more than $150,000.

Audrey Stanley Smith, 33, pleaded guilty June 19 in Lee County Court. She applied the $10,000 bond she had posted to her restitution requirement.

According to court records,

Smith made a series of withdrawals from the Dixon woman’s bank accounts and took out a loan on her property. The transactions involved accounts at Amcore and Midland States banks and occurred between Aug. 2, 2006 and April 15, 2010,

court documents say.

Smith was manager of the Oregon branch of Rockfordbased Amcore Bank, which was sold to Effingham-based Midland States Bank in January 2011, before she was terminated in April 2012 for a “willful violation of bank

policy” and “unprofessional and negligent behavior as a banking center manager,” claims that do not relate to any transaction involved in this case, the documents say.

The case was prosecuted by the Illinois Attorney General’s office.

In exchange for her guilty plea, felony charges of theft, financial institution fraud, financial exploitation of the elderly and wire fraud were dropped, and the fifth, computer fraud, was amended to the misdemeanor.

KSB to open walk-in clinic on south side of Dixon Joint venture expected to open July 28

By Matt Mencarini Sauk Valley Media KSB Hospital is partnering with Physicians Immediate Care to open a walk-in clinic on the south side of Dixon.

The clinic, 1672 S. Galena Ave., is expected to open July 28 and will have an X-ray machine, lab testing and seven exam rooms, including a pediatric room and a trauma room.

Physicians Immediate Care will handle the clinic’s dayto-day operations, while KSB will offer clinical support, refer patients and help transfer necessary patient forms and charts between a patient’s general physician in the KSB network and the clinic, said Tom Demmer, the hospital’s director of marketing.

“I think if you look across the country right now there’s a real movement to be more patient-centered,” he said.

“People are trying to make things as easy as possible to make sure they can see the right people at the right time.”

KSB also will open a physical therapy facility in the same building later this month, Demmer said, adding that it will be a hospital-run facility with appointments required.

The walk-in clinic will be equipped to handle urgent medical needs when a patient can’t wait to see a general physician and doesn’t need to visit an emergency room, said Moha Mehta, a spokeswoman for Physicians Immediate Care.

“When it’s urgent but not an emergency,” she said.

It will be the first partnership with a hospital for Physicians Immediate Care, Mehta said, adding that the partnership will pair a well-known hospital

in the area with a company experienced in setting up and running walk-in clinics.

Physicians Immediate Care has 24 other walk-in clinics in Illinois, in addition to clinics in Indiana and Nebraska.

The Dixon clinic’s trauma room will be able to perform minor procedures like cleaning and stitching wounds and settting and putting splints on some broken bones, Mehta said.

The clinic won’t compete with KSB’s emergency room for medical emergencies like heart attacks, she said, but can assess a patient and call for an ambulance to transfer them to the hospital if necessary.

The walk-in clinic isn’t Dixon’s first. The Now Care clinic, 841 N. Galena Ave., opened in 2007.

In 2010, CGH Medical Center opened a walk-in clinic in downtown Sterling.

The new Dixon clinic will be staffed with between three and six people, including a physician, a physician’s

assistant and a radiologist, Mehta said, adding that Physicians Immediate Care will staff the clinic and is currently recruiting a physician for Dixon.

The clinic, 1672 S. Galena Ave., will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

KSB will be opening a walk-in clinic at Rose Plaza on South Galena Avenue in Dixon.

If you feel your life has become too hectic, slow down. Reflect on where you are and where you are headed. After all, your first obligation is to yourself, so do the things that make you happy.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your turn to shine.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your style and flair are what make you unique. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be deterred if someone dislikes your artistry or creativity. Jealousy will likely be at the root of any such complaint.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Face any dilemma head-on.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give in to anyone trying to take advantage of you or wh0o is standing between you and your happiness. Follow your heart and do whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Take any opportunity to travel that comes your way. Organize your time so that you can mix business with pleasure and come out on top in both areas of your life.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You will be flattered by the attention you get today, but before you let things go to your head, consider whether all the hubbub is sincere or merely the

product of ulterior motives.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Your appearance and selfconfidence go hand-in-hand.

Some minor improvements and indulgences will lift your spirits and rejuvenate your approach to your life and goals.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You may have doubts regarding your career choice. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to find an outlet that you enjoy and try to turn it into a living. Research the options that interest you most.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can meet some fascinating and stimulating individuals at group functions.

Check out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in your area. Love and romance are on the rise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be too quick to sign on the dotted line. Make sure that you get all the goods or services that have been promised. Read the fine print.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Follow your intuition. You know deep down what is best for you, regardless of what others say. Travel opportunities are

apparent and should be geared toward future business.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- There are lots of gimmicks designed to make you buy various products. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be tempted to buy on impulse. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no bargain if you end up not using what you purchased.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You have many appealing and desirable qualities. Accept social and community invitations, and you will discover a new window of opportunity that can help you out personally and professionally.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you are vocal, you can make substantial progress in the workplace. Let your superiors hear your ideas and opinions.

Finding solutions will lead to advancement.
