Trail Days festival drew a crowd

By Vinde Wells Editor Perfect weather and a worthy cause drew an estimated 4,500 people to the fifth and final Oregon Trail Days festival last weekend. “It may have been our highest attendance ever,� said Beth Henderson, one of the festival organizers.

She said the two-day event, held July 19 and 20 at Lowden State Park, went off without a hitch. “It was phenomenal!� she said Tuesday. “The weather was perfect and everything fell into place. Several people came up to me and said we should keep it going.�

The festival, featuring a Native American and western theme, was organized in 2010 to raise money for repairs to the renowned Black Hawk statue, which is situated on a high bluff overlooking the Rock River at the park.

Time and weather have caused significant damage to the 103-year-old concrete landmark which was created by sculptor Laredo Taft.

Since most of the money has been raised for the repairs, Henderson said it’s time to discontinue the festival, which has been held on the third weekend in July. “We’ve met our goal,� she said.

Amy Trimble, also an

organizer of the festival, said Tuesday that the event has raised $50,000 over its five year history for the statue repair fund and has increased public awareness of the statue’s condition. “We’ve raised $50,000,� she said. “Where we were important was bringing in the media and for public relations. We brought in television stations from Chicago and Rockford.�

So far, $725,000 has been raised of the estimated almost $1 million that will be needed to repair the statue’s surface damage.

Henderson said one of the best-received events this year was American Indian dancer

Ronald Preston, a newcomer to the festival. “Ronnie Preston was just great. He was very educational,� she said.

Preston, a member of the San Carlos Apache nation, performed dances and explained the tradition behind them.

Other activities at the festival included a 5K run, breakfast at the Taft Campus, a quilt show, tipi camping, kid’s activities, and a Cowboy Arena where trickshooters and whip wranglers showed their skills.

2014 Ogle County Fair Queen crowned

By Chris Johnson Reporter It almost felt like deja-vu for an Oregon teenager Saturday night during the Ogle County Fair Queen Pageant.

But fortunately for Katrina Lowry, 17, it ended differently then the previous two years.

Lowry first received the Miss Congeniality award for the pageant.

When the runner up was announced, there was still a chance for Lowry to be named fair queen.

So when the winner was announced, Lowry’s name was called this year.

She is the 2014 Ogle County Fair Queen. To use an old phrase, the third time’s a charm. “I can’t even explain my excitement right now,� said Lowry, 17, after being crowned queen. “I am so like overjoyed and so excited its crazy.�

For Lowry, this was the third time she entered the competition. “My parents have been

supportive through the whole thing,� she said.

Lowry was competing with seven other women for the crown.

Contestants in the 2014 Ogle County Fair Queen Pageant were Khrysta Oleson, Stillman Valley, Shelbi Massolle, Oregon, Rachel Book, Byron, Lowry, Carly McMurray, Lindenwood, Korrin Cogswell, Byron, Paityn Perks, Rockford, and Jaide Farbo, Stillman Valley.

In This Week’s Edition...

The competition consisted of a swimsuit competition, speech, formal dress competition, and on-stage questions.

Lowry was asked why she wanted to be crowned the fair queen as one of her questions. “I want to be Miss Ogle County because I am involved in the local 4-H,� she said. “I like going out and meeting new people and talking to kids.�

Business Brief, B6 Church News, A5 Classifieds, B8-B12 College News, A4 Entertainment, A6

The runner up was Farbo.

When she was asked why she wanted to be the fair queen, her answer was to be a role model. “I want to be Miss Ogle County because she is such a beautiful figure in our community,� said Farbo. “I would love to be that kind of role model for younger kids.�

Her second question was what can be done about bullying in schools. “I would have stricter punishments for bullying in school,� said Lowry. “I feel like many administrators do not know how to deal with the issue and sometimes it is ignored.�

She said the issue needs to be addressed not ignored. “If you hit the issue head on, then there would be progress with bullying,� she said.

Lowry will reign over the 2014 Ogle County Fair and will be present at many of the events throughout the fair.

She will also participate in numerous parades in the area and will compete at the state fair pageant early next year.

A Polo alderman voiced opposition Monday night to a request from a local business that is expanding.

Alderman Randy Schoon said he is not in favor of entering into a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District redevelopment agreement with PNC, Inc., a longtime Polo manufacturer.

PNC officials are planning a 100 by 100 foot expansion of their building on East Oregon Street.

The estimated cost of the addition is $1 million, and the expansion is expected to bring 25-30 new jobs to the community.

The firm, which makes custom electromagnet solenoid coils and wiring harnesses for the automotive and hydraulic industry, has two locations in Polo.

The other building is on East Mason Street in the downtown.

Mayor Doug Knapp said the proposed agreement with PNC calls for 60 percent of the real estate taxes generated from the expansion to go back to PNC for the remainder of the TIF district, which is 17 years.

The remaining 40 percent would remain with the city in

the TIF Fund. “I just don’t understand it,�

Schoon said. “This is money we don’t get back.�

City Clerk Susie Corbitt explained that the revenue in question is money the city does not currently receive.

She said the revenue affected would be the real estate taxes only on the new construction. The taxes PNC currently pays would not be involved.

Corbitt said that under the proposed redevelopment agreement the city’s 40 percent would amount to $133,000 in new real estate taxes over the 17 years.

Alderman Cheryl Galor said that if the council does not approve the agreement, the city would receive the full amount of the taxes on the expansion, rather than only 40 percent.

Alderman Louise Hall said the agreement is a way to promote growth in the city and encourage businesses to located there.

Schoon disagreed. “The way to help Polo is to get some land for people to build houses on,� he said. “You aren’t going to bring people to Polo unless we have businesses,� Hall said, pointing out that PNC would Turn to A2

Rural businesses can now apply for video gaming

By Vinde Wells Editor Video gaming is now allowed in the unincorporated areas of Ogle County.

Reversing its stance from a year ago, the county board voted 17-5 on July 15 to allow video gaming at the 14 establishments that hold county liquor licenses.

Board member Greg Sparrow, Rochelle, said the county board’s decision last year put rural establishments at a disadvantage because municipalities in the county had approved video gaming. “All this will do is level the playing field,� he said.

Board member Dick Petrizzo, Monroe Center, said he was surprised to see how much revenue is coming in from the gaming machines. “In my little corner of the world, it looks like people are spending about $200,000 per year on these machines,� he said. “It’s a staggering amount. I’m sorry to see that.�

Board chairman Kim Gouker said the county’s ordinance stipulates that

at least 65 percent of an establishment’s income must come from non-gaming income.

Proceeds from the machines are split between the bar owner, the company that provides the machines, the state, and the city or county.

The money is collected by the state which then distributes it.

The city or county gets 5 percent, the state gets 25 percent, the machine provider and establishment each get 35 percent.

The Illinois Video Gaming Act enacted in 2009 legalizes the use of video gaming terminals in certain establishments that hold liquor licenses.

Voting against the video gaming ordinance were board members, Lyle Hopkins, Polo, Dan Janes, Stillman Valley, Patricia Nordman, Oregon, Zach Oltmanns, Stillman Valley, and Ashley Simms, Rochelle.

In related action, the board reduced the number of available liquor licenses from 20 to 15.

Prep work begins on historic Black Hawk Statue

By Vinde Wells Editor Although the project has not been officially approved, preparatory work started last week to repair the Black Hawk statue.

A crew from Conservation of Sculpture & Objects Studio, Forest Park, put up a fence around the 103-yearold concrete landmark at Lowden State Park near Oregon, and removed bushes and limestone blocks surrounding the statue’s base.

“We’re getting ready to put some scaffolding up and to do some mock-ups,” said Frank Rausa, Sterling, a volunteer who is spearheading the repair effort.

He said the limestone blocks, which were not a part of the statue’s original pedestal, will be saved and probably re-used when the repairs are completed.

Once the scaffolding is in place, Rausa said, a team of experts will begin doing “mock-ups” or testing various mixtures of concrete and other materials to see which one will work the best to restore the areas of the statue damaged by time and weather.

“Four to six recipes will be applied to the statue, and that will take about a month to cure,” He said. “Then they will determine which blend will be the best match and go from there.”

For actual repair work to begin, two state agencies

“We’re getting ready to put some scaffolding up and to do some mockups,” — Frank Rausa, Sterling — Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and Illinois Historic Preservation Agency (IHPA) — must approve a plan submitted several weeks ago by Thornton Tomasetti, Chicago, an architectural firm that provides engineering design, investigation, and analysis services to clients worldwide.

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

of concrete are loose and ready to fall.

The repair work could begin as early as next month.

“We’re pleased to be started, and with a minor miracle, it might be done by October,” Rausa said.

Once the repairs are completed, a re-dedication ceremony will be held.

Rausa said the ceremony may be timed to coincide with the original dedication of the statue, which took place on July 1, 1911.

In the meantime, he said, fundraising efforts will continue.

So far, approximately Testing and evaluations $725,000 has been raised done recently showed that toward the repairs. Rausa three areas of the statue are in dire need of repairs.

said that is likely 80 percent of what will be needed.

Nearly half the money already raised for the project came from the $350,000 state grant.

The rest came from donations, including $50,000 from the Oregon Trails Days festival.

A large contributor was the Jeffris Family Foundation, Janesville, Wis., which gave a $150,000 matching grant.

The Chicago Black Hawks hockey team got on board with what Rausa said is a sizable donation, although he declined to specify how much.

To donate, checks can be made out to the Illinois Conservation Foundation and marked for the Black Hawk Statue.

TIF District decisions made by the city council in the past have been unwise and have ended up costing the city money.

He also complained that the whole city council was not included in the negotiations with PNC officials.

Corbitt said the actual negotiations were confidential, and that she distributed the information to all council members as soon as it became available.

She reminded Schoon that she did answer his questions

when he came into her office.

Schoon replied that Knapp should be distributing the information, not Corbitt.

Knapp replied that Corbitt has a better understanding of TIF Districts.

“I tried to help you understand it,” Corbitt said.

“I don’t need to understand it,” Schoon replied. “We need to have order here.”

Schoon also protested that he had little input into the discussion and that other aldermen had already made up their minds to approve the

agreement.

“I already know this is going to pass. It doesn’t matter what I think,” he said.

“I don’t see the downside of this that you see,” said alderman Matt Mekeel.

Aldermen Troy Boothe and Dave Ackeberg voiced their support for the agreement because it would bolster business in the city.

The city council is expected to vote on the redevelopment agreement at its Aug. 4 meeting.

Research continues into families

By Betty Obendorf Curator Polo Historical Society

I have been back to researching for several different families and of course I go immediately to J. W. Clinton’s scrapbook first.

There I was lucky to find the first obituary and I called her with the information. No wonder she could not find him in Polo because he had gone to live with a nephew in Dixon.

The nephew’s name was John Vaile. I remember that name from the clothing store in Dixon of past years.

When I called her with the information she thought I had found someone else. But soon she called back and as she looked through her mounds of paperwork suddenly the name of Vaile surfaced. There was a connection after all.

I soon found the wife buried in Dixon also although her funeral was out of St.

Mary’s Church in Polo.

So that was solved for that person and added a bit more of information to her files.

Sometimes it is those little pieces that surface in an obituary that adds a piece to the puzzle.

In my own family I have been researching signature quilts and names on those quilts. Rather difficult when you are three hundred miles away from where the quilt was made and a slow process.

Then I started cleaning closets and I came across two boxes of pictures.

Now I had gone through those pictures several years ago but did not have the research under my belt that I had done recently.

As I went back through letters of the past that were written in the 40s, there fell out an old obituary of my great grandmother.

It listed her brother still living and I had not found his name anywhere else as being

her brother.

Now I could make that connection to my great grandmother. Nowhere had any of her brothers and sisters been listed.

I also recognized the names of his children as my mother’s cousins.

Bertha, his daughter had the bratzel iron that came from Switzerland on the boat. My mother would go to another aunt who borrowed the iron and make the family cookies for the holidays.

I wish the obituary from the past had included all my great grandmother’s brothers and sisters, even if they were not living but it did not so the search is still on for more.

See how important those old obits are for information and some can be so detailed while others very scanty.

Now I am looking for a stillborn baby or a baby that did not live very long and that is another needle in the haystack.

Babies were not listed at all in the early years and maybe they might be spoken of in the local news notes especially if they did not live. It was not unusual to lose a child but they had many and life went on.

We will be having our picnic in August on the 6th at the Henry School. While that is bit away, time goes by rather quickly.

That will also be fair time at the Carroll County Fair and the girls will be showing hogs again.

I guess Oliver, the special bunny, will not get to go to the fair since he seems to be having a problem with biting.

Maybe that is why he was given to Lily in the first place.

I guess you cannot go to the fair if you bite and so Oliver will need to stay home. He is such an unusual rabbit and I thought he might be quite showy.

Keep in mind the picnic in August at the Henry School.

Polo Public Library introduces Ready, Set, Read!, a special program to assist parents, grandparents, caregivers and educators with helping children from birth to

Olivia, and Isaiah winters in attendance.

After our church service, I attended our quarterly board meeting. It was a short meeting to conduct the business of our church.

Jim and Nancy Hopkins attended the wedding of Nancy’s nephew Peter Nelson to Natalie Winter in Moline.

Also attending the wedding were Jim and Nancy’s son, Jim Hopkins, his wife Dana, and their children Connor and Abigail. Jim and Nancy’s daughter, Edie Klein, her husband, Dave, and their daughter, Hanna, visiting from Chandler, Ariz., were also guests at the wedding.

Eric Ellingsen, son of Jim and Nancy, who traveled from Decorah, Iowa, was one of the soloists for the wedding. The family had a wonderful weekend visiting with the many members of

the Nelson clan that were in attendance.

Edie, Dave, and Hanna were guests in Jim and Nancy’s home.

Hanna enjoyed the cooler weather, seeing the pelicans on the Rock River, and going to Jay’s Drive-In in Oregon.

This past Thursday, I met an old friend for lunch.

Melissa Kwak and I became friends when our boys, Victor and Clint were in the same class in school. About six years ago, they moved away to Battle Ground, Wash., where they still live today.

Melissa, her husband, Arron, and their children, Alyssa and Victor, were visiting their family in Chicago.

Melissa and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch before traveling to my home. I gave her a tour and we enjoyed catching up by sharing lots and lots of pictures.

Clint had a short break this week from Wednesday night until Saturday morning.

He and I went to a movie on Friday night and worked together on the yard on Sunday afternoon.

He returned to camp on Sunday evening and will be there for another week working in the kitchen with Mary Toms.

This evening, I received a call from my nephew, Garrett Bittinger. He wanted to know if I would come over for dinner. I gladly accepted and had a delicious dinner with my brother, Ben, his wife, Jo, and their sons, Hayden and Garrett.

Garrett is always very

excited to tell about his latest ideas and plans. The conversation soon turned to the fact that the summer is almost over and school will be starting soon.

Clint and I also discussed the school supplies already in the stores. Garrett is excited for now and Clint seems less than enthusiastic.

An ongoing joke between my three children is that they all claim to be my favorite child. I tell my children the same answer my mom would tell my brother and I, that I love all my children exactly the same.

A parent’s love is amazing.

I love my kids, no matter what. My kids are not perfect

and I still love them just as much as I ever have. I was not perfect and my mom still loved me, no matter what happened.

We are God’s children and He loves us all the same, unconditionally. Everyone we meet during our day is worthy of God’s love.

It’s not a love that is earned, it is only freely given.

My hope is that all of our churches will be filled each and every Sunday morning with God’s children so that we can learn more about our wonderful Father.

I will see you next week in Pine Creek where we gather to God our praise.

Friends celebrate Jacobs’ graduation Submitted by Rick Ryland Seven young women, all raised in Oregon, travelled to Bradley University this spring.

Knowing each other all their lives through their assembly, The Church of Jesus Christ Forever, the seven “sisters” headed south to attend the graduation of their youngest “sister.”

Jasmine Jacobs, the daughter of Eric and Jacqueline Jacobs (OHS ’76 and ’77), proudly walked to the podium at the Peoria Civic Center May 17 to receive her bachelor of science degree in Health Science from the dean of Bradley University.

Upon receiving her diploma, her family and “sisters” went crazy!

After a devastating set back and seven long years of intense study, “Little Sis” was graduating cum laude – with honors.

Because of a diagnosis of scoliosis, kyphosis and lordosis (severe curvature of the spine) and necessary surgery in the summer after her freshman year at Oregon High School, Jasmine elected to be home-schooled.

But here – at Bradley she was graduating with distinction as her excited family and “sisters” cheered her on.

Then something else happened, the honors graduate received the notice she was hoping for: “Rush University of Chicago accepts Ms. Jasmine Jacobs into their master’s program in Health Systems Management.”

With that official

Clockwise, Marcy Morris, Abbey Miller, Joy Ryland, Jessica Jacobs-Throw, Jasmine Jacobs, Michelle Ryland, June Jacobs, and Erika James celebrate as Jasmine, graduates from Bradley University. Photo supplied

statement, Jasmine became one of only 24 students that this university accepts per academic year — another celebration.

Two of her church family “sisters” are also celebrating.

They are Abbey Miller (OHS ’02) and Joy Ryland (OHS ’03).

Both will be attending medical school in the fall: Abbey to the University of Illinois in Champaign and Joy to Midwestern University in Downers Grove.

Abbey, already holding a Master of Public Health degree, Phi Kappa Phi, from the University of California San Bernardino, will be part of the Illinois Rural Medicine program.

Joy, currently a paramedic with the Mt. Morris Fire Protection District and holding a bachelor of science in Biology from Illinois Wesleyan University, will be attending one of the oldest and most renowned osteopathic institutions in the nation.

Michelle Ryland (OHS ’05), Joy’s sister (both are daughters of Rick and Laurie Ryland, Oregon), holds a master of architecture degree from the University of Illinois.

An high honors graduate, Michelle currently works in Chicago for the architecture and engineering firm of Klein & Hoffman.

4-H Youth learn cooking from student teachers +ITCHEN SKILLS were taught

University of Illinois %XTENSION AND THE 2OCHELLE 3CHOOL $ISTRICT COLLABORATED to offer 4-H Food Smart Families Summer Cooking School.

The program was part of the Summer HUB project for students in third through fifth grades.

4-H members were recruited by 4-H staff to serve as “Teen Teachers� for this program. They learned how to create simple and nutritious recipes that youth could make on their own with little to no assistance.

In order to prepare for the program, the 4-H Teens went through three trainings with %XTENSION STAFF The first training was with *OHNNA *ENNINGS ( 9OUTH $EVELOPMENT EDUCATOR

who reviewed program EXPECTATIONS BEST PRACTICES for being a teen teacher.

The second training was basic nutrition education and curriculum review with Sue Buntjer, Illinois nutrition education program educator.

The final training gave the teens the opportunity to show what they had learned and receive feedback from Jennings and Buntjer.

Teen leaders who participated were Jordan Mingus, Megan Ackland, AND +AITLYN !CKLAND

of Ogle County Clovers ( #LUB .ATHAN +EYS and Jacob Myroth of Hub

Hickory Nuts 4-H Club; and Jacob Ebens and Johnathan Prose of Carefree 4-H Club.

Each day participants learned valuable nutrition lessons encouraging them to eat healthy snacks and meals. Students created healthy snacks while they learned important math and reading skills as they followed recipes and measured ingredients.

Children also learned about food safety, meal planning, and knife skills. “This was a wonderful EXPERIENCE ) ENJOYED SEEING the smiles on the kids’ faces as they prepared their very own food, Buntjer said. “When children grow into adulthood, they eventually have to rely on themselves for everything, including COOKING +NOWING HOW TO cook wholesome food is a great way to combat obesity and unhealthy habits. “This program helped the kids learn about nutrition and making healthy choices in a fun, interactive way.�

At the end of each day, participants were able to enjoy all of their hard work in the kitchen by eating their freshly prepared snacks.

They enjoyed creating shamrock shakes, trying their hand at making salsa and tortilla chips, and they learned the fine art of crafting pop-overs. “This is a great program that teaches youth how to make healthy nutritious snacks, and allows them

to try some new foods and recipes, Jennings said. “What is also another neat benefit of the program is that we have teen 4-H leaders teaching the lessons to the participants. The participants learn new things and our teens get to enhance their leadership skills. It is a win – win situation.�

This program was made possible through a grant funded by ConAgra.

University of Illinois %XTENSION WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE participants with hands-on LEARNING EXPERIENCES AND cooking utensils and fresh produce to take home.

Sinnissippi Centers building dedicated last week

By Chris Johnson Reporter A new era in mental health has arrived in Oregon with the opening of the new 6,400 square foot Sinnissippi Centers facility at 100 Jefferson.

Community leaders, Sinnissippi staff and board members, and Oregon Chamber of Commerce representatives gathered for a ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony July 17.

The building was dedicated in honor of Chester D. Kobel.

“One of the failings of older people is they tend to reminisce a lot,” said Kobel.

“I am just as guilty as the rest of them.”

Kobel became associated with Sinnissippi in the 1970s when Al Graph was the executive director. Kobel joined the board in 1974.

“One of the greatest volunteers that ever lived was from Ogle County,” said Kobel. “August Hanke lived in Mt. Morris and he was instrumental in everything that happened in mental health in those days. Just a wonderful man and I dearly miss him.”

Kobel went on to talk about Ray Price, a man who worked hard every day.

“In those days he kept Sinnissippi going all by himself,” said Kobel. “On occasion he invested his own money in the facility when things were tough. For a long long time it was called the Ray Price foundation.”

Another director Kobel worked with was Lloyd Sidwell.

“Lloyd was the most innovative and far thinking person I ever knew,” said Kobel. “He created all the entities that make up the Sinnissippi family. He also hired Jim Sarver and the chief financial officer.”

Sarver became the director when Sidwell left.

“He did a wonderful job maintaining and enhancing all that was there before,” said Kobel. “We were truly blessed with great leaders. Through it all, the one constant thing, Larry Prindaville, now entering his 43rd year and has been a part of everything.”

He pointed out Prindaville, Sinnissippi Centers’ Vice President/Chief Administrative Officer, so everyone gathered could acknowledge him.

“Now we more into another era. Patrick Phelan has taken over and is going to run it,” said Kobel. “The future of Sinnissippi is bright. This is a wonderful facility. I am so proud of this honor I can not even tell you how I feel about it.”

Kobel was presented a plaque that stated the building was dedicated in his honor by Phelan, Sinnissippi Centers’ current President and CEO. “The board started talking about building this building and in who’s honor they might dedicate this building,” said Phelan. “I was told there was only one name that came to mind. This gentleman served on the board nearly 40 years. It is dedicated to Chester Kobel. Thank you for joining us. You can’t underestimate how much he meant to our agency.”

Phelan said he had to ask others about Kobel so he had stories and words to share about him.

“He has seen all of our buildings built. All of our apartments,” said Phelan.

“His involvement has been fantastic. One of the things that I have to thank him for is he was the first to bring lunch to our meetings. Thank you so much for everything you have done.”

The site of the new building was the 11th site evaluated over the past 10 years.

“This was the 11th site,” Phelan said. “Finally, last June about a week after I arrived we signed the paperwork on the property.”

Seeing the new building open is an accomplishment Phelan will remember.

“I have been with Sinnissipipi just over a year,” he said. “This is thrilling.

We have had a focus on improving our offices long before I ever came. Oregon was the last. It has been 10 or 12 years in the making.

We finally get to open the new office. This a day a lot of people thought would never come.”

The building allows the clients to have a better

experience when seeking treatment.

“We want the clients to have a positive experience, to feel valued, and to feel like it is a warm and receiving place, to not be stigmatized,” said Phelan. “A nice new facility does that.”

The new facility has all the offices in one location with better lighting, wider hallways, and completely handicapped accessible.

“The old building was a maze and we were patching offices together,” said Phelan.

“Here, we have the space we need for now and to grow in the future.”

Eight staff work full time in the Oregon office with part time staff at the office when needed.

Sinnissippi Centers Services offers more than 30 programs and services including emergency screening services and evaluations, psychiatric services, alcohol and drug

Tri-County Press, Forreston Journal Thursday, July 24, 2014, Page A11

Regular season softball action completed in Polo

By Larry Loomis The final week of regular season Polo Girls’ Softball action has occurred.

On July 7, Polo’s Senior Division team hosted Dixon Two. Polo scored three runs in the first inning and went on to post an easy 15-0 decision in just three innings.

Polo’s biggest inning occurred in the second when they put ten runs on the board.

In an inning that seemed to take forever, Polo utilized six walks, and run scoring singles by Zoie Sellers, Emily Boelens, Cassie Bushman and Sydney Gunder along with a double by the same Emily Boelens to bolt to a 13-0 lead after two.

The last inning, as the fifteen run mercy rule kicked in, was just icing on the cake as the Polo ladies moved to 13-0 for the campaign.

Polo collected seven hits to go along with nine walks.

Dixon failed to get a hit off Polo starter and victor Sydney Gunder.

July 8, Polo One of the Junior Division, hosted Dixon Two. As their counter parts in the Senior Division had done the evening before, Polo jumped off to a 6-0 lead after one inning and went on to pick up a lopsided 16-1 win.

Dixon took a brief 1-0 lead after one-half inning of play.

A leadoff single followed by three consecutive walks forced in what proved to be the only run of the game for the visitors.

In the meantime, Polo’s batter’s attacked the ball aggressively all evening to collect nine hits.

Dixon’s pitchers issued eleven base-on balls to go along with the nine Polo hits and the job was done for Polo.

The game went only three innings under the time limit rule. Kaitlyn Trobaugh led off the game with a walk for Polo.

Natalie Boward also drew a walk. Marah Blake singled to score a run. Harper Clark then smashed a double to left to

bring in two more runs.

Cynthia Calderon then replaced Clark with a double to score Clark. Walks to Chelsea Weems and Allison Simpson filled the bases with just one down. The scoring was completed as Emma McCawley and Peyton Knight each singled to bring in the fifth and sixth runs of the inning as the six run rule kicked in on a 6-1 lead by Polo.

Polo put six more runs on the board in the second and four in the third to complete the scoring. Marah Blake had a single and a double for Polo.

Harper Clark added two singles to pace the nine-hit attack. Natalie Boward went the distance to pick up the win.

In game two, Polo Two of the Junior Division was looking to go up 12-0 for the year as they hosted Stillman Valley Two. Unfortunately, Stillman was able to take advantage of shaky pitching on the part of Polo and came away with an unexpected 14-5 win in four and one-half innings.

Following three strikeouts in the first inning for Polo starter Alex Dusing, Dusing lost her control over the next two innings by issuing walk after walk. Every pitcher who has ever played ball will have a bad night and this was Dusing.

In just two innings, she surrendered thirteen walks while hitting three batters.

Stillman was able to put up six runs in the second, the maximum allowed, and followed with eight more over the last three to account for the final margin of victory.

Polo got two runs in the bottom of the first to briefly take a 2-0 lead. With two away, Becca Wagner singled.

Mallory Patterson was hit by a pitch to put runners on first and second.

Amber Henson then hammered a double to deep left field to score Wagner and Patterson to give Polo a 2-0 advantage.

From then on, Polo would

trail as Stillman was able to score on walks and a few timely hits.

With the score 8-2, Stillman, Polo managed to draw within four with a pair of runs in the third inning. With two down again, Sierra Wolfley tripled to right. Wagner came up and smacked a triple up the middle to score Wolfley.

Wolfley then scored as Patterson singled to close the score to 8-4. On any other night, Polo might have gotten back in the game but not on this evening as the pitching continued to struggle, allowing Stillman to score six more runs to just one for Polo as the Polo ladies suffered their first loss of the campaign.

Polo’s Senior Division team was back in action July 10, as they hosted Byron Two. Polo scored one in the first and went on to score in every inning as the hometown ladies took an easy 15-2 win in four and onehalf innings.

Defensively, Polo’s defense along with Sydney Gunder’s pitching was just overwhelming all evening.

Gunder struck out ten batters and bedazzled the Byron batters for most of the evening.

Polo had such long innings at bat that the only problem Gunder had was staying on task. Such long innings for the Polo offense caused Gunder to lose concentration coming back from a long inning. Once she found the strike zone again, however, Byron hitters did not have much of a chance.

Offensively, Polo’s biggest inning came in the fourth.

Already leading 9-0, Polo struck for six more runs to take total command. Haley Wiggins led off the fourth with a single. Following an out, Gunder walked. C.J. Gray singled to score a run.

Then, when the Byron catcher threw wildly to first on a ball hit by Zoie Sellers, the runners on base scored as Sellers went all the way around to third base. Brianna Pellini drew a base-on ball. Kassidy

Cheeseman then singled to short right to score a run.

With two down, Emily Boelens singled to score the final Polo runs of the inning enroute to the 15-2 decision.

Polo had ten hits for the game with C.J. Gray having two of those hits. Sydney Gunder went the distance to pick up the win.

The final home games of the regular season occurred on Friday evening July 11.

In game one, Polo One hosted the same Stillman team that had defeated the previously unbeaten Polo Two squad earlier in the week.

This time, however, Stillman would not have the same result as Polo One’s solid pitching and good defense put an end to any thought Stillman had of upsetting both Polo teams in a week.

When the final out was recorded and the game ended under the time limit rule, Polo One had posted a convincing 12-1 win.

Natalie Boward was Polo’s starting pitcher and she was more than up to the task. Over the course of four innings she struck out eight Stillman batters and gave up only one hit.

An error and a hit batsman led to the guests’ only run in the top of the third.

Polo led 1-0 going into the bottom of the second, when they struck for six runs to take command of this game.

Alyssa Wakenight singled to open the inning. Peyton Knight drew a walk. Chelsea Weems singled to fill the bases.

Emma McCawley, Izzy Sellers, and Nicole Zeigler all drew walks which forced in three runs leaving the bases full. Kaitlyn Trobaugh then singled to bring in two more runs.

Singles by Natalie Boward and Marah Blake completed the scoring to give Polo a 9-0 lead they would never relinquish. Polo had a dozen hits for the night to two for Stillman. Natalie Boward went

the route to pick up the win.

In the nightcap, Polo’s Senior Division team had one more hurdle to clear before going 15-0 for the year and that hurdle was Oregon. Polo had met and defeated Oregon earlier in the week at Oregon and was hoping to do the same at home. Polo fans and team were not to be disappointed as Polo took a 12-6 decision from a surprisingly stubborn Oregon squad.

Oregon jumped off to a 1-0 lead after one. An error and a pair of singles led to the Oregon run.

In the bottom of the first, Polo came back with six runs of their own. Cassie Bushman drew a leadoff walk. Brianna Pellini then tripled to score Bushman.

Sydney Gunder walked.

C.J. Gray then drove a ball into deep left center to score Pellini. Following a strikeout, Kassidy Cheeseman reached on a two-base error to score several runs. Reiley Peterson drilled a triple to left center to bring another run in and then scored moments later on a wild pitch to give Polo a 6-1 lead.

Polo would add six more runs over the final two innings to preserve the victory. Cassie Bushman picked up the win.

With the victory, Polo finished the regular season with a perfect 15-0 record and sat back to await their seeding for the upcoming Senior Division tournament.

Polo will also be hosting the finals of the Junior Division tournament the week of July 22-26.

In games reported in at press time from the road, Polo Two got back to their winning ways at Stillman I, July 11.

After suffering their first loss of the season here earlier in the week, Polo was ready to get back into action at Stillman and get back they did as Polo’s ladies banged out a 15-0 decision.

Polo jumped off to a 3-0 lead after one inning and never looked back. Defensively,

Polo played one of their better games of the season.

The highlight of the game came in the last inning when Polo turned in a triple play.

Kaitlyn Marschang caught a pop fly and doubled the runner on first and then threw to second to nail the runner who had been on second and had raced to third on the shot.

With defense like that, and the stellar pitching of Alex Dusing, the win was complete.

Dusing struck out eight for the evening.

With the victory, Polo Two completed their regular season with a fine 14-1 record, setting them up to be the top seeded team in the tournament at Polo the week of July 22-26.

Mike Jone’s Tiny Miss Team of the Carroll County League made it all the way to the finals this year. This was the first time ever that a Polo Little Miss team had gone so far.

In their semi-final game, the Polo ladies faced Eastland Two and won the game. While no final score was available at press time, it was known that Polo banged out twenty-three hits to cop the win.

Allissa Marschang turned in a blue ribbon performance as the pitcher’s helper to record numerous outs at home plate.

Gracen Rivers caught two pop ups while Bevi Foster made a spectacular play at home to prevent a score.

With the win, Polo advanced to the championship game against Chadwick.

In that contest, the two teams battled to a 14-14 tie after eight innings when cold and rain put an end to the contest and by agreement between the two coaches, the game was declared a tie and both teams received awards for first place.

Certainly a fitting way to end a season of good sportsmanship and well played ball for players so young.

For the game, Polo collected thirty hits with Karlea Frey leading the way with two singles and two doubles.

2014 TRAIL DAYS

Thursday, July 24, 2014

Oregon Trail Days festival is a success From A1 demonstrations from flintknapping to blacksmithing while kids could try their hand at hoop rolling, candlemaking, and flour-sack racing in the Pioneer Village, located in the Taft Campus.

Coral Grinage, Hammond, Ind., kept busy on Saturday following her five-year-old daughter Raquel Allen from one event to the next.

“We camped in a tipi,” said Coral, after taking part in a flour sack race. “Raquel was sound asleep but I heard a raccoon trying to get in the garbage.

“We may sleep in our car tonight,” she quipped.

Tom and Rose Rienstra, Stillman Valley, went down 200 steps from the statue to

the Rock River to help paddle a replica of a Voyageur canoe.

Recent Oregon High School graduates Shannon Cullen and Douglas Shaw were two festival volunteers who helped navigate the large canoe up the east channel of the river to below the Black Hawk statue.

“I’m getting a workout today,” laughed Cullen.

Henderson said ending the festival is bittersweet.

“At one point, I just burst into tears,” she said. “So many thank yous go out to A rider for the Northern Illinois Outlaws shoots a balloon while on horseback during a performance at Oregon Trail so many people. We had 200 Days on Sunday. The event was held at Lowden State Park. Photo by Earleen Hinton volunteers who came out to help.”

The names of the winners of the 50-50 drawing and other prizes were not yet available on Tuesday.

Rugged River Run held

By Chris Johnson Reporter One hundred and one people entered Oregon Trail Days 5K Rugged River Run. A 1990 Polo High School graduate, Joe Mumford, Aurora, was the first to complete the course in 19 minutes 55 seconds.

“I have been banged up and coming off of an injury and I am trying to get back at it,” he said. “There are no hills where I live. I have to use a bake path overpass for hills.”

Mumford has family living in the area.

“It is always good to be back,” he said. “I Olivia Gorzney, Oregon, completes the am going to visit my Rugged River 5K Run in 26 minutes mom in Dixon after Sunday morning. Photo by Chris this.”

The Rugged River Run started at a field at Daysville and Park Roads. Runners and walkers followed Park Road and crossed River Road into Lowden State Park.

The course wound through the park and Taft Campus before finishing at the Taft Campus dining hall.

“The course is tough. The last mile especially,” said Mumford. “The last mile had steps and that hill.”

With the first mile of the course being flat the runners were faced with a large hill to get to the finish line.

Mumford was pleased with his performance.

“I don’t really look at time on a course like this,” he said. “It June Danekas, Oregon, crosses the finish line of the Rugged River Run 5K Sunday was a good workout.” morning with Val Smith close behind. Photo by Chris Johnson

Wiggly Wag & Walk was fun for pooches and people July 16

By Earleen Hinton General Manager Betty dazzled the crowd with her quick turns and steady eye.

Ruby didn’t complain when she was asked to give a nine-yearold Oregon girl a wagon ride and completely ignored Daphne’s continuous shout outs to everyone and anyone.

Topher was not amused when the water-misting fire hydrant mussed up her hairdo, and all Abby really wanted was to lie on her back in the shade and have her belly rubbed.

Such were the lives of the canine participants at the Oregon Park District’s Wiggly Wag & Walk last week.

Eighty-five dogs with their significant others in tow took part in the second annual event July 16 at the park district’s Wiggly Field Dog Beatrice Kremske walks her bassett hounds McGregor and McKenzie while pushing her baby Hunter Park.

“We just heard about the event in a stroller during the 2-mile walk at the Oregon Park District’s Wiggly Wag & Walk. The High Card and the park after we took classes Hound Hike was just one of several events for dogs and their owners. Photo by Earleen Hinton at Maestoso Kennels,” said Amy Ewald, Byron, who attended the event with her daughter Brooke and their dogs Buster and Sophie. “We are really glad we came because there are a lot of dogs here and it is a good place to let them socialize.”

The event included demonstrations with dogs, special vendors, a 2-mile Hound Walk through Oregon Park West, and a lot of greet and licks.

John and Connie Seraphine of Heatherhope Farm, Sycamore, gave three performances of sheep herding demonstrations by their border collies.

“These sheep know which dog is working them,” said Connie as John directed a dog. “They are not dumb.”

John talked about his dogs Cap, Abbie, and Betty as they adeptly followed his commands or whistles to herd the farm’s five North Country Cheviot sheep.

“Their hearing is very good,” he said. “Once they’ve learned the words it only takes about a half an hour to Above, Topher, a put whistles with them.

“She’s 4 and he’s 3,” said Janice Garren, Dixon, after she helped guide Reina and Blaze through some of the dog obstacles.

Ruby, a short-haired St. Bernard and another of Mandernach’s students, willingly pulled nine-yearold Shay Banister in a wagon. She ignored repeated barking by Daphne, a puppy, who was just trying to be sociable.

Meanwhile, Topher, a Yorkie owned by Lindsey Smidt, Oregon, didn’t appreciate the water spray she got when she sniffed the park’s fire hydrant.

State police K-9 Officer Michael Steele also showed the crowd how his partner Ogre, a three-year-old Belgian malinois, could sniff out drugs.

Steele placed 4 boxes on the ground and Ogre quickly found the one containing the drugs—all for the reward of his chew toy, a piece of old fire hose.

Obi-Wan, a Chesapeake Bay retriever, owned by Rachel Pederson, Oregon, watched Ogre through the fence, yawned, and stretched out by Erin Pederson, Rachel’s sister.

Dax, an eight-year-old Anatolian shepherd, stood quietly as his owner, Deb Daleiden, talked about how he was a rescue dog turned therapy dog.

“I’ve had him since he was five months old,” she said.

“I like the doggy,” added Aiden Askam, age 6, from Oregon as he patted Dax on the head.

Jan Champley’s labradoodle, Abby, was happy to flop on her back while Lydia Cermak and Gabi Scott rubbed her bellly.

“She was abandoned, wasn’t microchipped, and was running loose,” said Champley, whose husband Tom is an Oregon veterinarian and Ogle County Animal Control Administrator. “A dog catcher brought her in. She’s such a nice dog. When we were trying to decide what color she was, I said ‘she’s a blonde with apricot highlights.’ ” Organizer Debbie Leffelman said temperatures in the low 70s made for a perfect climate for the event.

“The weather was beautiful,” said Leffelman. “We thank everyone, people and pooches, for coming.”

Japanese beetles have returned to area gardens Japanese beetles have made their annual emergence and the damage can be seen in many gardens. So far, large numbers have not been reported in Northern Illinois.

Candice Miller, horticulture educator for the U of I Extension in Ogle County, provided information for residents about the insects.

It’s been believed that the

number of beetles would be lower this year because of the harsh winter, and so far that is looking true. Minor damage has been reported to sweet potato vines and knock out roses, both preferred treats for the Japanese beetle.

Japanese beetles are chewing insects that destroy leaves, flowers and fruits of more than 276 plants.

These beetles can completely skeletonize leaves, feed on corn silk and corn ear tips and are especially destructive to grapes, peaches and other members of the rose family.

The grubs feed and cause damage on grass roots in lawns, parks, golf courses, and cemeteries.

The Japanese beetle has a one-year life cycle, spending

about 10 months as a grub in the soil and in late June, the first adults emerge with most present in July and August.

Throughout the summer, adult beetles feed on a wide range of plants and deposit eggs in the soil. Eggs hatch about two weeks later and grubs feed on decaying matter and roots until temperatures cool in the fall.

They move downward and

over winter as a partially grown grub and resume some feeding activity in spring.

Pupation occurs in late spring and adults begin emerging in late June.

Every summer Illinois residents ask the same question; “How can I control Japanese beetles?�

Unfortunately, there really isn’t a great, easy solution.

The most benign control

method is to hand pick the beetles off of the plant.

Dropping them in a bucket of soapy water will quickly drown the pests. Avoiding planting the preferred hosts of the Japanese beetle would be another alternative.

State police challenge parents to set a good driving example Illinois State Police (ISP) District 1 is challenging parents and guardians this summer to drive as they would have their teens drive in an effort to set a good example for new drivers.

“Teens and children notice your driving habits. Troopers taught safety education programs this past school year to various drivers’ education classes in the area and said

an overwhelming number of students reported frequently seeing their parents texting while driving, not using their phones hands-free, speeding, or not wearing their seat belts,” said Todd Rohlwing, ISP District 1 Commander in a press release.

“The students recognize these behaviors as being against the law, and we do not

want teens to minimize the dangers associated with these driving behaviors because they see parents doing them,” Rohlwing said.

The Illinois State Police encourages parents and guardians to set a good example for teens by following traffic laws and demonstrating good driving behaviors, especially when teens and children are in

the car.

Most teen driving crashes are due to inexperience. It is important for parents to ensure teens have driven in all types of weather conditions, on different types of roadways, and at different times of the day.

Ask and limit how many passengers teens plan to have with them and know where

there are planning to go.

The ISP would also like to remind parents and teens of the following rules: It is now mandatory for everyone in a vehicle to wear a seat belt.

Cell phone use, even hands free, while driving is prohibited for drivers under age 19, except in the case of an emergency.

Permit phase drivers age 15 and licensed drivers ages 16 and 17 have nighttime driving restrictions. Local curfews may differ. The restrictions are Sunday through Thursday, 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.

The Ogle County Health Department provided the following information regarding Medicare benefits.

Health insurance is a contract between the insurance company and you to keep your medical costs at bay.

The insurance company pays a part of your medical expenses once you buy a plan or a policy from them. Many people get their insurance from the employers, if not; you can buy your own insurance from the health insurance market place.

The Marketplace plan can be cancelled without penalty by contacting the Marketplace call center or cancelling it online once Medicare coverage begins.

There is an initial enrollment period to sign up for Medicare, which starts three months before the 65th birthday and ends three months after the 65th birthday.

It’s not necessary to cancel the Marketplace plan once the Medicare Part A coverage starts; but the savings like premium tax credits or lower out-of-pocket costs on a plan you might have gotten from the Marketplace will end once the Medicare Part A kicks in.

It is important to enroll during the initial enrollment period as those who enroll

in Medicare after the end of initial enrollment period may have to pay a penalty for late enrollment each month covered under Medicare.

Enrollment in Medicare Part B occurs only during the Medicare general enrollment period which is from January 1 to March 31 each year.

This may create a gap in the coverage as the coverage doesn’t start until July of that year. A special enrollment period exists for eight months after employment or group health insurance terminates.

The late enrollment penalty will not apply during this period.

If you have Medicare coverage, the penalties for not having insurance under the Affordable Care Act do not apply. For additional coverage Medigap or Medicare supplement insurance policies, sold by private companies are available.

These policies help pay some of the healthcare costs that original Medicare does not cover such as copayments, coinsurance and deductibles.

These plans are only available to Medicare enrollees. A Medigap plan is different from a Medicare Advantage plan. Medicare Advantage plans are private plans that are required to cover everything Medicare

Part B does, but may offer additional coverage, whereas the Medigap policy supplements the original Medicare benefits.

Medicare Advantage is often referred to as a managed care option. Medicare Part D is required for all Medicare recipients and provides prescription drug coverage.

Many Medicare Advantage plans include Part D benefits.

It is not possible to have a Marketplace plan and Medicare at the same time.

An insurance company may not sell a plan to a Medicare recipient.

You will be automatically enrolled in Medicare if you are receiving Social Security retirement or disability benefits before the Medicare eligibility period.

All private plans offering prescription drug coverage such Marketplace or SHOP plans are not required to be as comprehensive as Medicare part D coverage, but the plan must to report each year if it provides creditable coverage or not.

For additional information links for Medicare coverage and changing from Marketplace to Medicare can be found on our Facebook page.

For more information call Joanie Padilla at the Ogle County Health Department at 815-732-7330, ext. 279.
