Council okays PNC agreement

By Vinde Wells Editor An agreement with a Polo manufacturer that is expanding was approved Monday night by the city council despite opposition from two aldermen.

Aldermen Randy Schoon and Cheryl Galor voted no to entering into a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District redevelopment agreement with PNC, Inc. The measure passed 4-2, however, with yes votes from aldermen Troy Boothe, David Ackeberg, Louise Hall, and Matt Mekeel.

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

The estimated cost of the new building 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.

The proposed agreement with PNC calls for 60 percent of the real estate taxes, an estimated $200,000, generated from the expansion to go back to PNC for its

redevelopment for the remainder of the TIF district, which is 17 years.

The remaining 40 percent would remain with the city in the TIF Fund.

After the 17 years, the city will receive its full share of taxes on the expansion.

Schoon was vocal in his opposition to the agreement July 21 when the council discussed it for the first time, and he still had not warmed to the pact on Monday. “This is not about PNC,� he said at Monday’s meetings.

He criticized the process of reaching the agreement, calling discussions between Mayor Doug Knapp, city clerk Susie Corbitt, and PNC officials “closed door� negotiations.

Schoon said he believes the entire city council should have been included in the discussions and been sworn to secrecy about the details.

He also said the council has not been fair in how it has handled TIF requests. “We trip over ourselves to help one,� he said while a request from Dave Ferris was rejected.

Corbitt said Ferris, who owns an auto body business, was requesting a loan larger than the amount in the TIF Fund.

Schoon said the council did loan money to Roger Turn to A5

Blacksmiths gather at Hammer In

By Earleen Hinton General Manager Boot scrapers, triangular dinner bells, Celtic crosses, and even a few twisted shovels were just some of the steel creations that came to life at the John Deere Historic Site’s 2014 Hammer In Aug. 2-3.

The biennial event, held at the Grand Detour homestead of John Deere—inventor of the first self-scouring steel plow nearly 177 years ago, featured blacksmiths from several states doing what they do best, hammering steel. “We have a great turnout,�

Two killed in motorcycle crash

By Vinde Wells Editor

Two men were killed and a woman critically injured Aug. 3 when two motorcycles collided on Ill. 64 east of Mt. Morris.

Richard Zimmerman, 67, Lanark, and Michael Gonzalez, 50, Chicago, were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash in the 3,000

block of West Ill. 64 less than a mile east of Mt. Morris, Ogle County Sheriff’s Police said in a press release.

Rosarita Gonzalez, 52, Chicago, a passenger, was transported by Life Flight helicopter to St. Anthony Medical Center, Rockford, where she remained in critical condition Tuesday afternoon.

A portion of Ill. 64 was closed for more than two

said Brian Holst, manager of the historic site. “And you can’t beat the weather.�

Sunny skies and 80 degree temps on Saturday welcomed a steady stream of visitors to the site that is marking its 50th anniversary this year.

Visitors could learn about Deere’s early life in Illinois touring his home and the excavation site of his original blacksmith shop where he

forged his plows before winding their way past current-day blacksmiths who were happy to talk about their trade to onlookers.

Nearly 10 people watched as Paul Novorolsky, Elburn, made a one-piece twisted shovel at his blacksmithing tent, heating the steel and then hammering it into a usable tool. “It takes me about 3 hours

to make this here because I’m always stopping to talk about what I am doing,� said Novorolsky. “At home it usually takes me about half that time.�

Novorolsky said he uses scrap metal for most of his projects. “It’s steel from junkyards, scrap yards‌ leftover pieces. Blacksmiths Turn to A2

Polo resident competed in annual tractor pull

By Chris Johnson Reporter Black smoke, bouncing front tires, and loud engines were found at the Ogle County Fair Thursday afternoon.

These were coming from a variety of tractors being driven in the annual tractor pulls at the Ogle County Fair

July 31.

Local resident Bill Clothier, Polo, was competing in the afternoon tractor pull.

He brought his Farmall 1466 Turbo to the line and went down the track in the 12,500 pound division.

When the flag was waived to end his run, Clothier finished with a 313 foot pull.

Two feet short of a full pull.

“I just missed the pull off,� said Clothier after missing the full pull. “I was close today but I am in the hunt.

Other tractors have 200 hp more than this one.�

Clothier used to compete in the antique tractor pull and decided to try the larger show.

Turn to A11

hours due to the crash.

Police said Zimmerman, a former Oregon and Mt. Morris resident, was driving a 1992 Harley Davidson eastbound in his lane when a westbound 2009 Kawasaki, driven by Gonzalez, attempted to pass other westbound traffic and pulled into the eastbound lane of travel.

Gonzalez’s motorcycle collided nearly head-on with Zimmerman’s motorcycle in the eastbound lane of travel.

The crash occurred at 11 a.m.

After the impact, Zimmerman and his motorcycle skidded into the ditch embankment on the south side of the roadway.

Gonzalez and his motorcycle continued westbound on the roadway for several hundred feet before entering the ditch embankment on the north side of the roadway.

The Gonzalezes were apparently riding with a group of at least 30 other motorcycles.

Blacksmiths were creating during the Hammer In From A1 are great recyclers,” he said smiling. “A lot of what we do is made out of a piece from here or there.”

What blacksmiths “do” is the reason the Zettle family from Forreston makes sure the Hammer In is on their “to do” list every other year.

“We can’t wait to come down and see all this. We just really enjoy it,” said Mary.

When the noon bell rang, all of the blacksmiths hammered on their anvils 50 or so times marking the official “Anvils Ring”.

Visitors also watched as a mega-sized replica of Deere’s plow was unveiled on the southwest corner of the site.

Holst said the replica, which is twice the size of Deere’s original plow, was made from steel by a small team of blacksmiths.

Rick Trahan, one of the site’s resident blacksmiths, helped direct auctioneer Mark Ebert, Polo, as donated items including homemade pies, quilts, and creations from the blacksmiths were sold.

Proceeds from the auction went to the Upper Midwest Blacksmith and Illinois Valley Blacksmith Associations, both event sponsors, to help fund scholarship programs for aspiring blacksmiths.

The historic site held its first Hammer In event in 2004, with 75 blacksmiths, attracting thousands from around the country. Hammer In events have been hosted here every other year since then.

Researcher visited museum to look at 92nd Regiment

By Betty Obendorf Curator Polo Historical Society

Many times in the museum when I am working with different people of the past, I wonder if someday people will turn up needing information on that very person.

I think to myself, are there still family members out there somewhere. My question was answered this week.

I received a phone call from the Polo Senior Center that someone was there needing information. I spoke briefly with the person and then asked, “Who is it you are looking for?�

She answered, “Romanzo

Fisher.� This time she was in luck because I was very familiar with this individual because he had gone to the Civil War. I was just ready to leave the house and I met this researcher at the museum.

I could tell her immediately that he went to the Civil War with the 92nd Regiment.

I opened the big Grand Army of the Republic book that is on the stand the library gave us as you come in the door. He was part of the G. A. R. While she read about the part he played in the war, I searched for more information. Soon I came with his picture and she had never seen a photo of him

so she was pleased. I was disappointed when he was not in the large picture of the 92nd. This was because he simply did not go to the reunion of the Civil War veterans.

He was a carpenter and simply came back quietly and went to work. I guess he did not have time to be a war hero.

When this lady began to mention other family names of his wife, I began to find other information about the family.

We ran off several obituaries and she was pleased to get all this information.

I was glad to be able to give her the information she wanted and I also told

her the library has a book on the 92nd. Hopefully she went to the library and found something else from their research files.

I still want to do a little more looking for this person who was from Freeport .

She will be returning after I have looked for more details on his family. I am always glad when I can say, “I know that person and have information on him or her.� That does not always happen.

This week will be the Polo Historical Society picnic at the Henry School and Monday we will need to go down and freshen up the place.

First we will go to the Carroll County 4-H fair to

see how Oliver performs in the rabbit judging part. Then that night the girls will show their hogs and that is an interesting time.

Lily has already won with her rice crispy bars and they did not do any other projects.

This will be the last year for Clare since she heads for college before long.

The time just seems to fly by and soon school will be starting for the other girls also.

When you reach August the days slide by quickly.

The Ogle County Fair is going on now and the Polo Senior Center is doing great selling small pies that they have been busy making.

We do not get to Ogle County Fair and we do not

even see much of the Carroll County Fair. Walking is now a problem.

We did attend the ice cream social at the Lincoln Manahan Museum since we were invited by friend Elizabeth.

She was playing her mountain dulcimer with a group and it was difficult to hear the music.

I moved closer and soon I was playing the tambourine along with two other little kids. One was playing the spoons and the other a small wooden instrument.

The Sterling Historical society is starting to involve children by incorporating a children’s program. I’ll pass on that one right now. See you at the picnic.

Nominate a citizen of the year The Polo Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the 25th annual “Citizen of the Year� award to bestow honor on a most worthy citizen of the Polo community.

This person will be named for his or her contributions to Polo; namely, an individual in industry or business, social services, education, agriculture, the health field, or volunteerism whose efforts

helped to benefit Polo, either in the past or present.

This very special award will be given at the annual Chamber of Commerce dinner to be held on Monday, Sept. 22.

The presentation ceremony and additional events in this person’s honor are in the process of being finalized.

In order for the judges to accurately assess the

accomplishments of a nominee, send or drop off a sealed nomination at Polo City Hall, 115 S. Franklin Ave. Nominations may also be emailed to polo@essex1. com.

All nominations must be in a sealed envelope and received by Sept. 1. For more information call 815946-3131.

By Karen Merlak The summer is quickly slipping away as we start the final month of the season.

We have enjoyed the vegetables from our garden, as well as, vegetables from our friends’ gardens.

Our thanks to God for all of the wonderful blessings He has given us.

This morning in church, I had the honor of greeting our church family and friends.

Our special music was Craig Bauling playing guitar and singing. His wife, Cindy, was also visiting our morning worship.

Melissa Horton led the children’s message with lots

Melissa’s children, Kelsey, Kaiyle and Emmitt, along with Olivia and Isaiah Winters, were ready to hear the morning’s message.

Sharon Baker read the morning’s scripture lesson with the story of a boy and his lunch of five loaves and two fish.

Deb Ohlwine played piano for our hymns, including “Happy Special Day� for the birthdays and anniversaries this month.

This was a very special service as we witnessed the baptism of Alyssa Winters.

Alyssa has attended Sunday School at our church for several years, as did her mother, Tera Frano.

Several members of Alyssa’s family were also in attendance, including her great-grandmother, Wanda Wiggins.

Clint has finished his last full

week at camp and now will be finishing his life guard duties over the next few weeks.

He has learned so much over the summer and is really looking forward to working at the camp next summer.

The summer has gone by so fast and school will be starting in just a couple of weeks. Clint is getting ready for football to start.

Even higher on Clint’s priority list is getting his license when he turns sixteen in a couple of weeks.

A sure sign that school will be starting soon is the many committee meetings are being scheduled.

I attended the VIPS committee meeting this past week. It has been and still is such a pleasure to work with the many parent volunteers in our school district.

I suspect this month will fly by way too fast. Stephanie has planned a couple of trips

home and back to St. Paul so that she can move her things home as she prepares to leave for London to study for the fall semester.

Matt has been very busy with work and preparing to leave for the Marines. Matt has only four short months here with us before he leaves.

I still remember the night I brought Matt home from the hospital.

Rick was still driving a semi-truck over the road and I had asked my mom to stay with me because I was so exhausted. I think she held him for the entire night while I slept.

I remembering feeling so guilty that mom had stayed up most of the night and so relieved and thankful that she had let me sleep.

I knew with a toddler and a new baby I would have plenty of sleepless nights ahead of me.

This is why I have faith in God. When I got home from the hospital almost 19 years ago, I didn’t know how I would make it through the night.

God gave me a wonderful mom that was willing to stay and help.

Our Sunday School lesson this morning led to a discussion about why we have faith in God. We may not realize it in the moment, but looking back, we can see where God was in our lives.

In our most desperate

situations, God is there, helping us get through it. I t may not happen the way we think it will or as fast as we would like it to, but He is helping us handle what it is front of us.

I have counted on God to help me in the past and I will continue to ask His guidance, especially when I have to say good-bye to my traveling children.

I hope to see you next Sunday at our church in the country or at one of the many wonderful community churches in Polo.

Alderman says pact with PNC makes no sense From A1 Wakeknight for a used car business and shouldn’t have.

Mayor Doug Knapp agreed. “We learned from that and we won’t do it again,� he said. “We’re not in a position to give anyone any money. We’re in a position to give real estate tax breaks and sales tax breaks.�

Corbitt said the city loaned Wakeknight $32,000 from the General Fund several years ago without any agreement about how long the business must remain open.

It subsequently closed, and the property is now owned by Haldane

Auto & Custom.

The money is being repaid to the General Fund from the TIF Fund as it builds adequate revenues and will be repaid completely next year, Corbitt said.

Knapp said that the sales tax generated for the city by Wakeknight’s business more than covered the money loaned to him. “A lot of this makes no sense to me at all,� Schoon said. “I don’t see where we’re getting anything out of this.�

Polo Economic Development Committee Chairman Mike Faivre said helping PNC with its expansion

helps Polo financially in the long run. “You have a blank piece of property that’s not bringing in anything,�

Faivre said. “You give up something up front, but that money comes back over the years.�

He said several local contractors will be working on PNC’s project.

Besides that he said the expansion will bring new jobs in addition to the 150 to 175 people the firm already employs. “I believe they’re the number one employer in Polo,� he said. “It’s good to help new businesses, but you also need to take care of the businesses you have.�

Local businessman Richard Butler also urged the council to approve the agreement with PNC. He said without the city’s assistance, PNC officials could decide to expand in another community. “It [the 40 percent of the real estate tax increase] is better than 100 percent of nothing,� Butler said.

He pointed out that PNC helped the city fund its recent water project.

Hall asked for the matter to be tabled until a representative from PNC attends a council meeting to answer questions.

Schoon and Galor agreed. “I think we should do it, but I want

some questions answered,� Schoon said. “I don’t understand how that building can generate that much money,� Galor said.

Corbitt explained that the amount of real estate taxes is estimated based on the projected value of the new building.

Schoon also complained that the city council is giving PNC a break while water bills have increased and the city continues to charge fees for building permits. “When does the common man get a break?� he said “You people just don’t get the point.�

followed to ensure that the food is wholesome, safe, and at low risk for causing foodborne illness.

Members of a service club, church group, youth group, special interest club or any non-profit organization that sells food are encouraged to attend.

The class will include a take-home manual and thermometer per organization.

The fee is $10 for the first person from each organization and $5 per each additional

person. Checks may be made payable to University of Illinois Extension.

Pre-registration is preferred

by Thursday, Aug. 7. Class size is limited to 35.

If members need a reasonable accommodation to participate in this program, they can call the Extension office.

Coneflowers looking a bit peculiar?

Coneflowers (Echinacea sp.) are blooming beautifully in many gardens across northern Illinois, states a University of Illinois horticulture educator.

“Some gardeners have made note though, that their purple coneflowers in particular are looking a little peculiar this season,” said Candice Miller.

Some have noted that they are getting very little flowering and the flowers they do have are partially to completely green.

Several flowers can have odd green growths sticking up from the center of the blossom as well. These are all symptoms of the disease aster yellows.

Aster yellows is a chronic, systemic disease that affects over 300 species in 38 families of broad-leaf, herbaceous plants. Members of the aster family (Asteraceae), such as asters, marigolds, Coreopsis and purple coneflower are commonly affected by this disease.

Infected plants are typically stunted and twisted, with

Moose golf outing is Aug. 9 The annual Women of the Moose Golf Outing will be held on Saturday, Aug. 9 at 1 p.m. at Sunset Golf Club, Mt. Morris.

The proceeds from this year’s outing will benefit the Mooseheart School Renovation Project.

The Mooseheart School educates children who either have lost both parents, or for whatever reason, have parents that are unable to care for them.

Mooseheart and Mooseheart school are both completely supported by Moose clubs like the one in Mt. Morris.

The school was originally built in 1913, and although it has had some renovations since, it is still operating with 58-year-old plumbing and heating system and asbestos ceilings and such.

Much needed additional classrooms will be added as well as an auditorium and updated office facilities.

Registration for the golf outing will be at 12 p.m.

The cost is $35 per player or $140 per team and includes nine holes of golf, cart rental, door prize ticket, meal at Mt. Morris Moose afterward and a drink chip to be used at the

Moose on the same day.

It will be a shot gun start, best ball with prizes for: longest drive (men and women), longest putt (men and women), closest to the pin (men and women) and also for first, second and third place teams.

A Chinese style raffle drawing will be held at the Moose after the outing.

To sign up your team or to donate a raffle prize, contact Ranae Leamanczyk at 815973-3942, rleamanczyk@ gmail.com, or stop out to the Mt. Morris Moose for a team form.

foliage that is yellow or red.

Floral parts that are normally brightly colored may remain green, and petals and sepals may become puckered and distorted.

In purple coneflower, secondary flower heads, often in a cluster, may emerge from the primary flower head.

Aster yellows is a disease that is different from many common fungal, bacteria, or viral diseases because it is caused by a tiny bacterialike organism known as a phytoplasma.

Phytoplasmas live within the phloem, the nutrient conducting vascular system, of plants. The aster leafhopper (Macrosteles fascifrons), a

common insect, moves the aster yellows phytoplasma from plant to plant.

Every time the leaf hopper feeds, some phytoplasmas are released into the new plant, starting a new infection.

“Unfortunately there is no known cure for aster yellows,” Miller said.

Infected plants will not necessarily die from this disease, but they should be removed immediately so that the aster yellows phytoplasma cannot be spread from infected plants to other non-infected plants in the area.

Miller recommends replanting with a new plant that is not susceptible to the aster yellows disease.

School bells soon will be ringing as students across the state begin the new school year.

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) is joining with local emergency management agencies throughout Illinois during August to encourage families to include emergency preparedness in their back-toschool plans.

“No one likes to think about the possibility of an emergency happening while children are in school or at daycare,” said IEMA Director Jonathon Monken.

“But as we saw with the May 2013 tornadoes in Moore, Okla., and other incidents, it can happen. A few minutes of your time now can help you and your child deal with emergencies that may occur during the school day.”

Monken offered several

back-to-school planning tips for parents of school-aged children, including: Know your child’s school or day care emergency plan.

Find out where children will be taken in the event of an evacuation during school hours.

Ensure your emergency contact information is up-todate at your child’s school.

Pre-authorize a friend or relative to pick up your children in an emergency and make sure the school knows who that designated person is.

Have a family communications plan and review the plan periodically with your child. The plan should include contact

information for an outof-area family member or friend, since local telephone networks may not work during a major disaster.

Many college campuses offer e-mail and text messages to alert students of potential dangers, such as severe weather and other threats. Encourage your college student to sign-up for such alerts. Some colleges also provide alert messages for parents so they also are aware of potential dangers at their child’s school.

Additional preparedness information is available on the Ready Illinois website at www.Ready.Illinois.gov.

OPEN HOUSE

Business News Ben Shaw takes job in Frankfurt, Germany

By Pam Eggemeier Sauk Valley Media Ben Shaw, chief technology officer at Shaw Media, will leave his family’s company for a job opportunity abroad.

Shaw, 38, has accepted a position as senior digital consultant with the World Association of Newspapers, and will be based in Frankfurt, Germany.

Shaw joined the family business in 2004, starting as a systems technician at the Kane County Chronicle.

Three years later, he moved to Shaw Corporate, and was named IT director. In 2010, Shaw was promoted to chief digital officer, before assuming his current leadership post in November 2013.

Shaw has worked abroad before, teaching at Namseoul University in South Korea in 2002 and 2003. He also

has participated in several technology expos worldwide, which is how he found this job opportunity.

“I really wasn’t looking, but when I saw this job and the travel opportunities, it was just too good to not give it a shot,” Shaw said. “It’s a very good fit for my skill set.”

Shaw’s new employer also has offices in Paris and Singapore. He will help develop media strategies for larger media companies, most of which are members of WAN-IFRA. Both Ben and his father,

Shaw Media CEO Tom Shaw, called the move bittersweet.

“It was a tough decision,” Ben Shaw said. “There’s such a great staff and culture here, and I appreciated the opportunity to work with my father and brother.”

“It’s a wonderful opportunity for him, and as a father, I’m very excited for him,” Tom Shaw said. “But he was so valuable to the company, and he leaves big shoes to fill.”

Tom Shaw said his son provided great insight and leadership during a time of

rapid technology changes within the newspaper industry.

“Not only did he help navigate through it all, he made us innovative enough to do some amazing things for a company our size,” he said. “But we have built a great team, and the process will continue.”

Ben’s last day with Shaw Media will be Aug. 22. He and his wife, Joon, are hoping to be in Germany by Sept. 1.

A search for Shaw’s replacement will begin in the next few weeks, the company said.

The highest bidder will be able to pick his or her choice of game. Each game after that will be awarded to the next highest bidder.

By Andy Colbert Reporter As I walking by LandersLoomis Field a couple Sundays ago, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. There was a group of young people practicing football.

Could it be the 2014 Hawk football team?

Nah, it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be. High school kids arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to be out on a Sunday after putting in five days of practice already. Plus, these guys were substantially beefier than the normal high schooler.

Upon closer inspection, it was a genuine Oregon alumni team prepping for an Aug. 15 game against Winnebago.

And, yes both teams will be in full uniforms playing tackle football.

These games are the brainchild of Alumni Football USA, which has conducted 17 games in Illinois since 2013 and supplies all the equipment. While the concept has been slow to catch in the rest of the state, the northwest part of Illinois has been a hotbed for it.

Virtually every game has been from teams around these parts, including one between Dakota and Polo this Friday at Dakota. Tickets are $10 and proceeds are split between the Alumni Football USA and the respective teams.

Winnebago is using the event as a fundraiser for a new press box and Oregon will contribute their share for helmets for the Hawk football program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With all the talk about concussions these days, we want to do all we can for the high school to have the best helmets,â&#x20AC;? said Shawn Melville, one the Oregon alumni team organizers.

Melville and Corey Fry having been working since last October to put a team together and are serving as coaches. Initially, there were about 40 players interested, but then the enthusiasm died down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem like it would get off the ground,â&#x20AC;? Fry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In mid July, we finally pulled it off. We had 19 guys show up for practice and the state director (Chuck Hulke) was here and said the game would be a go.â&#x20AC;?

Not all towns have been able to pull this off. Stillman

Valley was supposed to face Byron, but not enough Tiger alumni signed up. Fry is hopeful Oregon can play Stillman in 2015.

Right now, the Oregon roster is up to 30 paid-up players mostly in their 20s and 30s. Each player must pay a fee to compete. There are even a few names from the 2013 Hawk varsity.

The oldest player is 47-year old Al Greene, father of Kevin and the only non-Hawk on the roster. The next oldest in Melville, a 1993 Oregon grad.

One doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a former football player to be on the team. Don Jensen never played, but appeared to be in as good as shape as anyone practicing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They asked me,â&#x20AC;? said Jenson when asked why he joined on.

One thing that is certain is that the alumni will use a much different offense than the Wing-T they ran in high school. With both Melville and Fry sharing quarterback duties, Oregon will operate out of the spread. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our strength will be young quick guys,â&#x20AC;? Fry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some size, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look to run short passes.â&#x20AC;?

According to Fry, the word on the street is that Winnebago has a bigger roster with a few older players and they have been practicing more than Oregon.

Surprisingly, these games are quite competitive and well-played. The organization of Alumni Football USA

Vedra Scramble is Sept. 13

Sports Column Alumni football games coming this month

No bids will be accepted after the Aug. 16 cutoff.

The winners will be announced at the Aug. 22 Meet the Marcos dinner at the Polo High School or by phone. Below is a listing of the home football games along with the special events and business that is

The 18th annual Vedra Scramble for Education will be held Saturday, Sept. 13 at the Lake Carroll Golf Course, Lake Carroll.

Registration for the event will begin at 11 a.m. and a shot gun start will be at 12 p.m. Following 18 holes of golf will be a steak dinner at 6 p.m.

The Vedra Scramble is the major fundraiser for the Forrestville Valley School Andy Colbert Foundation, which plays is legitimate and has more a role in enhancing of the than making money as its educational programs of the objective.

Last year, when this concept first came up, I had my doubts.

At an alumni game my school (Rochelle) played last August, I had a chance to interview a staff member of Alumni Football and found their outfit to be deeply concerned about the welfare of the players and their fundraising.

At the Rochelle-Dixon game there had to be more than 1,000 fans present. It was fun watching football on a gorgeous evening in August and seeing some of the old names from each school go at it again.

It was a win-win all the way around. Hopefully, there will be a big turnout of Oregon fans making the trip to Winnebago Aug. 15 for the 7 p.m. kickoff.

Not only will you be supporting the hometown team of former Hawks, but also helping out the high school football program.

Forrestville Valley Schools.

The golfing event started in 1996 in memory of the late Doug Vedra, former Forrestville Valley School Board president and athletic booster.

The majority of net income from the event comes from sponsor donations and golf contributions, and the event is a day of fun to raise money for a valuable cause.

The Forrestville Valley School Foundation was founded in 1990 by former administrators and alumni

who were passionate about the youth of the communities and their education.

The foundation gives minigrants twice a year to staff members of the school district to enhance an area of the curriculum for students K-12.

The Foundation also awards scholarships to graduating seniors of Forreston High School.

For example, the backflip is self explanatory. The rider goes off a ramp and flips upside down before safely landing.

Other tricks like the cliffhanger need a little more explanation. In this trick, the rider leaves the seat and has his feet under the handlebars.

The rider then fully extends with his hands above the head. It looks like the rider is standing up.

The lazy boy is a trick where the rider leans back as far as they can on the bike.

This can be done with the feet on the pedals or for a more stylish trick, the feet can be under the handlebars.

With the heart attack Indian air, the rider holds on to the handlebars and brings the legs over one side of the bike and kicks them in the air. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been riding five years professionally,â&#x20AC;? said Bliss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like my whip.

Friendly competition at tractor pull From A1 He attended two tractor pulls this year, Leaf River Summer Daze and the fair.

“I like to stay close to home,” Clothier said.

“You meet good friendly people. It makes it fun.

It is 99 percent fun completing in tractor pulls.”

The other percent is heavy lifting.

After the 12,500 pound pull Clothier had to get ready for the 14,500 pound class.

“The weights on the wheel are 75 pounds per pair,” he said. “The weights on the front are 100 pound or light 67 pound weights.”

He had to get the tractor ready for the 14,500 pound class and he was adding weights to ensure his tractor would be approved when going over the scale.

“It is a busy day to get everything done on time,” he said.

Clark honored to carry flag

By Chris Johnson Reporter Riding into the arena with the American Flag is an honor for any performer.

Each of the past five years, Brandy Clark, Cherry Valley, has been riding her horse Whiskey while carrying the flag.

“This is my favorite rodeo,” she said during the Big Hat Rodeo at the Ogle County Fair Aug. 1. “I like the crowd when I enter the arena. They stand and cheer.”

She said the smiles on the kids faces when they see the

horses puts a smile on her face.

“That is why I do it,” Clark said.

Her horse Whiskey is a 12-year-old American Paint.

Whiskey was a rope horse before getting the honor of being ridden with the flag.

“I look forward to doing this show,” said Clark.

“Everyone loves her. She is also good with the kids.”

During the remainder of the show, there is little time for rest.

When finished with the National Anthem, Clark rides around the ring one final time before heading to

her trailer to brush, feed, and water Whiskey, and put all the riding gear away.

She then has to prepare her other horse to ride.

“My big grey horse is named Goat,” Clark said.

“This show is tough, there are a lot of good riders.”

Clark rides Goat in the barrel races.

“I love to ride in rodeos and there is something about this show,” she said.

“Everyone here is nice and friendly.”

Other events during the rodeo included the bareback riding, calf roping, and team calf roping.

The dead grass that some Oregon residents have noticed along the terrace on S. Fourth Street (Ill. 2) is not due to weed spraying by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s street department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been contacted by several residents regarding the dead grass on the west side of the terrace along S. Fourth Street,â&#x20AC;? said Mike Bowers, city street superintendent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to assure all our residents that this was not caused by our weed spraying.â&#x20AC;?

Bowers said on June 9 the Oregon Police Department notified him about a truck that came from the east and went south on Fourth Street that

was leaking some substance that was very oily making the street surface extremely slick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I contacted IDOT and they immediately spread sand on this area.

West Nile Virus has the potential to infect people cases so far.

Simple precautions should be taken to reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home and protect yourself from being infected.

Those over 50 should be careful because they are at a higher risk for severe illness if infected. Precautions to be followed include practicing the three R’s, Reduce, Repel, Report.

Reduce: Avoid being outdoors during dawn and dusk when the mosquitoes are most active.

Make sure the doors and windows have tight- fitting screens that have no tears or other openings. Keep the doors and windows shut, especially at night.

Eliminate all sources of stagnant water where mosquitoes can breed, such as ponds, bird baths, flower pots, old tires, etc.

Keep drains, ditches and culverts clean of weeds and trash so that water will drain properly. Cut the grass short and keep it well-trimmed so mosquitoes won’t hide there.

Also, add sand to absorb excess water to the outdoor plant pot drip trays.

Repel: Wear light-colored long sleeved shirts, long pants, shoes, and socks to cover exposed skin.

Apply insect repellants containing DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon, eucalyptus, or IR 3535, according to the label instructions while

outdoors.

Consult a physician before using insect repellants on infants.

Report: Contact Ogle County Health Department (OCHD) to report dead birds.

They are usually found singly and scattered in a wide area including in stagnant water in roadside ditches, flooded yards, old tires, and similar locations, where mosquitoes can breed.

OCHD collects and tests dead birds for WNV that are dead 24 hours or less. Dead birds that are believed to be dead less than 48 hours and not decomposed can also be brought to the health department for testing.

Decomposed animals can be recognized as having a strong odor, eyes deflated or dried, maggots present, and/or bloated from decomposition gases.

If you plan to deliver the dead bird to the office, double bag them. OCHD facility is located at 907 W. Pines Rd., Oregon.

Some businesses in Ogle County accept used tires for recycling. For more information regarding tire disposal call Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department at 815-732-4020.

For questions or more information regarding West Nile Virus call Joanie Padilla at the Ogle County Health Department, 815-732-7330 ext. 279.
