Former banker receives sentence in federal court Bergstrom has home confinement and community service hours

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com A Polo woman was sentenced in federal court in Rockford Tuesday to two days in prison and two years supervised release for embezzling almost $60,000 from the local bank where she worked.

Kayla Bergstrom, 46, was also sentenced to six months of home confinement and ordered to perform 250 hours of community service work.

Skateboarding on the sidewalks of downtown Polo may soon be against the law.

Bicycles are already prohibited on downtown sidewalks, and the city council discussed adding skateboards and hover boards to that list at its June 20 meeting.

“It’s a safety matter,” said Police Chief Dennis Christen. “We don’t want them barreling down the street and hitting someone coming out of a store.”

He said police have received several complaints about near-misses.

Alderman Phil Peterson asked what the penalty would be.

Christen said the penalty for riding a bike illegally is a

$50 fine for the first offense.

Subsequent offenses can result in court appearances and additional fines, he said.

Mayor Doug Knapp said some of the skateboarders have been disrespectful to the police as well as the people they encounter downtown.

In another matter, some Polo residents will soon be getting a letter from Mike Mudge, owner of Rock River Energy Services, Oregon,

about choices in their electrical aggregation plan.

Mudge told the city council that ComEd’s rate for electricity has fallen below that of Constellation, the current provider through aggregation.

Residents who opted to buy electricity from Constellation can return to ComEd without a penalty to get the cheaper rate, he said.

Turn to A2

An Oregon man has been charged after a June 24 boating accident that took the life of a Rockford woman.

Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) spokesman Chris Young said Monday that Marc Mongan, 46, has been charged with operating a watercraft while under the influence of alcohol and reckless operation of a watercraft.

Mongan, who is the owner of Oregon Healthcare Pharmacy Services Inc., is scheduled to appear in Ogle County Court on July 15 for arraignment.

Megan M. Wells, 31, was pronounced dead at Swedish American Hospital, Rockford, after the johnboat Mongan was operating struck a pontoon boat in which she was a passenger on the Rock River three miles north of Oregon.

Young said Wells, the mother of three, was thrown

overboard in the collision, which occurred at 8:40 p.m.

The Oregon ambulance transported her to the hospital.

An autopsy performed by the Winnebago County Coroner’s office Monday showed Wells died from blunt force trauma to her chest.

Ogle County Sheriff Police said Nicholas Lamb, 29, Oregon, a passenger in the johnboat, was transported by Stillman Valley ambulance to Rockford Memorial Hospital for treatment of serious injuries.

Other occupants of the pontoon boat were David Daily, 52, Leaf River; Phillip Lukes, 52, Chicago; and Sherry Bushre, 59, Chicago.

They refused treatment at the scene.

Mongan also refused treatment.

River Rescue units from the Oregon and Byron Fire Departments also responded to the scene. The AirOne Emergency Response Coalition helicopter was also dispatched to the area.

The accident investigation, which remains ongoing, was turned over to the IDNR Conservation Police.

The days of picnic baskets and folding chairs begin

By Betty Obendorf Curator Polo Historical Society The days of the picnic baskets, coolers of drink, and folding chairs have begun.

We are tired already and we have just started with the summer schedule.

When we moved one pattern of dishes was kept to be used all the time and that was it. We are in fashion in

Pine Creek News

By Karen Merlak The warm summer sunshine and refreshing rains have been a good help to the fields and gardens across Pine Creek.

In all things, we look to God. We ask Him for help in times of need and we give thanks for the ways He has blessed us.

This morning in church, we were greeted by Robert Toms. Our special music was a song by our Sunday School choir, Voices of Praises.

Deb Ohlwine accompanied us for the song, “My Life is in You.” Judy Nettz gave the children’s message for

the winter.

I remember the days when I was growing up that our family packed up everything and headed for the White Pines State Park.

We cooked hot dogs over the fire and everything tasted better out in the open.

Do families even do that anymore? Perhaps not since our world is now in the grilling mode. When the last of our children left home, our grilling days were over.

For Polo Historical Society, our next picnic down at the Henry School will be in August. There will be no meeting in July.

Ted and Joan Boddiger

had the school looking so festive with floral displays and extra little touches so we will look forward to the next outing at the school.

Fourth of July is in the horizon and the buntings at the Aplington House look so festive and patriotic.

Zenas Aplington would be very proud of us to have his home draped in red, white and blue. It is hard to imagine him going off to the Civil War and never coming back home.

In one of his letters he commented to his wife about not being able to get his temper riled up yet.

A situation had come up where he had a chance to

kill a confederate soldier who was hurt and maybe even perhaps older.

Instead, he gave the man a drink of water and tended to his needs.

Isn’t that what life is all about? Being compassionate and tending to the needs of others.

We often wonder what Zenas Aplington would have done with his life had he survived the Civil War. We think of this as we drive by the Aplington family plot in Fairmount Cemetery.

This week I have been going through all the newspapers with any information on Aplington House.

Have we missed any details that will be needed in the final document to be sent to Springfield for the national register.

I put together a chronological order of the house. The first part was 1849-50 when Zenas came to Polo from Buffalo Grove and the actual building of the house.

Then came 1956 and the documenting of Lincoln in Polo by G. C. Terry.

At that point we were getting ready for our centennial and all the history books had been hauled out.

Then in 1961 we architecturally dated the house and again it was by G.

C. Terry who had a hand in that.

I could see why Paul Graehling wanted his picture to hang in Aplington House as one of the greats in Polo.

The problem was that it seemed out of place and we have placed it with the newspaper history.

Then in 1978 we saved the house, started to restore it, and Polo Historical Society was formed.

The problem was that over 15 years had gone by and we seemed to have lost touch in what had dated the house.

Things slipped away that should have been left in the house. More on that later.

Olivia and Isaiah Winters.

Judy gave the children some helpful hints to use during their prayer time.

Our speaker for the morning was Reverend Larry Haney from Cushing, Oklahoma. He and his wife, Carolyn made the drive to our little church for the worship service and potluck dinner that followed. After lunch, we spent some time getting to know Larry and his wife.

This past week, Clint spent his first week at Camp Emmaus helping Bill and Betty Hare.

He makes several stops throughout the week at home, sometimes to do his laundry and sometimes just to hang out.

This past Tuesday and Thursday evenings, our P.E.O. walking club met at my home for our neighborhood stroll.

Lisa Coffman, Gina

Cole, Suzanne Sorenson, and I have enjoyed our visits while we get to know each other and appreciate the many beautiful landscaped yards.

On Saturday afternoon, Clint and I went to the graduation party for Clint’s classmate, Kenny Pearson.

Kenny and Clint have been friends since preschool. They were in Cub Scouts together and in high school participated in the drama club together, too.

We wish Kenny luck as he has already started taking college courses. This hard working graduate took the day off for a little fun with his family and friends.

I have been somewhat of a night owl for a very long time. I especially like

when the house gets quiet.

Even my quiet house is full of noises from the air conditioning to the hum of the refrigerator to the washing machine.

More recently, my attic fan has become quite noisy.

A little while ago, it developed a small squeak which has turned into annoying squeal. I have tried everything to turn it off to no avail. When the noises do quiet down again, I can relax.

Throughout our day, we have lots of noises that can interfere with a relationship with God. Our world has become so connected and our attention is drawn away from God. Even I get easily distracted by the amazing technology at my

fingertips. Sometimes, we just need to stop. Find the quiet and reconnect with our Creator.

Reconnecting with God is just one of the many reasons to find a church to attend regularly. It’s a time to get away from the noise of this world.

Not only can we reconnect with God, but we can reconnect with a church family.

We lost a good friend this past week, Elwood Koch. I am so glad I had the opportunity to visit with him at our P.E.O. functions.

Our prayers continue to be with his wife, Eleanor and their family.

Next Sunday, our church will have a special musical program during our service. Please come and join us for our worship service at 10 a.m.

Our church family is stronger than ever and we welcome you. Please join us next Sunday as we celebrate with a special program.

Join us each Sunday morning for a time of worship and reconnecting with God.

Stay safe with fireworks

Consumers at VOP wave as they get ready to take a cruise up the Rock River on the Pride of Oregon riverboat last summer. The trip is on of several day camp activities. Photo supplied

Donate for VOP day camps The Village of Progress, Oregon, is seeking donations to help cover the cost of day camp activities for its consumers.

VOP allows an average cost for consumer participation of $65 per day camper and is requesting community support to help with the funding of this long running recreational experience.

Since the Village of Progress began services to Ogle County adults with developmental disabilities, some form of summer camp experience has been offered to the men and women

enrolled in the programs.

In the 1970s and 80s week-long residential camps were held at the Stronghold and Lutheran Outdoor Ministries Center (LOMC).

In the mid 1990s it changed from a residential camp to a format offering day trip activities throughout the summer.

The 2016 Day Camp Program will allow Village of Progress consumers to participate in outings which may include activities such as fishing, boat rides, field trips of area interests, and cookouts.

For more than 40 years the summer camp offerings have provided VOP consumers a social, recreational and learning opportunity not otherwise available to most of the individuals who participate.

For many, the day camps are the only vacation they will know.

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

Any contribution to the day camp program, regardless of the amount, will be appreciated.

First Fridays in Mt. Morris First Fridays for July will be on July 1 at Mt. Morris’ Pinecrest Grove, starting at 6 p.m.

Musicians sign-up starts at 5:30 p.m.

The musical format will remain unchanged. After the individual performances, all of the musicians will gather on stage for a jam session to wrap up the evening’s festivities.

Musicians from across Northern Illinois, and often neighboring states, appear on a regular basis.

The music often described as New Folk or Americana is varied and includes country, bluegrass, blues, folk, mountain soul, gospel, soft rock, and eclectic mixes of all of the above.

Instruments are all acoustic and a professional sound

system by Kent Anders is supplied.

Participation is encouraged so bring an instrument and join the show, or kick back and listen to the music.

Admission is by free will donation. All are invited.

First Fridays is a part of Northern Illinois’ Friday night music scene along with Second Fridays in Lanark, Third Fridays in Franklin Grove, a new Fourth Friday at the Dixon Senior Center, and special Fifth Friday shows (when they occur) in Franklin Grove.

Pinecrest Grove Community Center is located six blocks south of Ill. 64 on McKendrie Street in Mt. Morris.

A parking lot is on the north side, with an overflow lot on the west side of PGCC.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) are reminding organizations and individuals sponsoring fireworks displays in Illinois to be sure their fireworks vendor has the required state licenses and certificates issued by the IDNR and the OSFM prior to their fireworks show.

The Illinois Explosives Act requires that anyone who purchases, possesses, uses, transfers, stores or disposes of explosives, including display fireworks, must have an explosives license and explosives storage certificate issued by the IDNR. Licensing and storage requirements administered by the IDNR do not apply to Consumer Fireworks (classified as 1.4 explosives).

Approved Consumer Fireworks are regulated by the OSFM and are permitted only in villages, counties and municipalities that have passed ordinances allowing such displays.

Consumer fireworks may be purchased and displayed only by adults who have

obtained permits from their local jurisdiction.

Hand held fireworks, including firecrackers, roman candles, and bottle rockets are not approved for sale or use in Illinois.

The Illinois Explosives Act is administered by the IDNR Office of Mines and Minerals’ Explosives and Aggregate Division.

The division is staffed by trained and experienced blasting specialists located throughout Illinois.

In addition to requiring comprehensive licensing, training and examination for individuals, the law requires that unattended display fireworks and explosives must be stored in an explosives magazine, storage facility or container that is inspected and certified by IDNR. IDNR currently has approximately 1,000 individuals licensed for the use of display fireworks.

In addition, IDNR has certified nearly 150 explosive storage magazines specifically for the storage of display fireworks.

Anyone possessing, using,

transferring or purchasing display fireworks without a valid IDNR individual explosives license or storage certificate is violating Illinois law and could incur penalties.

A violation of the Illinois Explosives Act can be a Class 3 felony, with a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

In addition, the IDNR can assess administrative fines for violations involving display fireworks and other explosives.

Emergency responders are reminded to contact IDNR and the OSFM immediately with reports of personal injury or property damage resulting from the use of explosives, including display fireworks.

To report an explosives incident or accident concerning display fireworks, the public should contact the IDNR Office of Mines and Minerals Explosives and Aggregate Division at 217-782-9976 and the Office of the State Fire Marshal at 217-7850969.

Fair baskets are available for $45 The Ogle County Fair Queen pageant will once again offer a basket to purchase in support of the 2016 fair queen pageant.

“This year we’re not only excited about having a basket to offer, but even greater it’s handcrafted in our home state of Illinois,” said pageant coordinator Deanna Simpson.

The basket measures eight inches wide, 12 inches long, and five and three-fourths

inches high, and the fold away handle adds to that.

The base and dividers are of solid wood construction, and the basket is stained in a medium brown to compliment it’s design.

Each basket will have a commemorative tag and will be numbered as in years past.

The baskets cost $45 each.

To order a basket contact Sharon Alderks, 907 N. Skare Rd.,Chana, IL 61015.

For more information call her at 815-645-1015.

“Once again, thank you for your valued support of the Ogle County Fair and the 2016 Fair Queen Pageant,” Simpson said. “We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at this year’s Ogle County Fair on Aug.

Barry Rittenhouse is named LFR parade marshal

By Jan Hough LFR Committee The 2016 Let Freedom Ring Grand Parade Marshal a person very familiar to festival-goers.

Retiring fireworks chairman Barry Rittenhouse will be honored in the parade. Â A life-long resident of Mt. Morris, Rittenhouse has been

instrumental in the 4th of July fireworks displays for decades. Â Shortly after high school in the early 1960s, Rittenhouse started working with Bill Asp and his sons to build fireworks displays at the south end of the Mt. Morris High School football field. Â Capacity crowds filled the high school bleachers and

around the field to see flags, waterfalls, dueling ships, pin wheels and more shot off in fireworks. Over the years, the Asps created and fired off oneof-a-kind displays seen by thousands.  Even after the Asps retired from the fireworks business, Rittenhouse continued working with various

fireworks companies setting off fireworks around the area. Â As safety measures evolved and governmental regulations changed the industry, Rittenhouse always continued being involved in what was booming in Mt. Morris. Â Being a long-time Mt. Morris fireman and ultimately the Mt. Morris fire chief also kept him at the forefront and

particularly involved with all of the safety measures needed. He took over the responsibility of LFR Fireworks Chairman in 2005 working with Melrose Pyrotechnics to create the best shows possible - the most bang for the committee’s bucks.  As Rittenhouse retires, he and his wife Donna, are looking forward to being able

to spend Fourths together with their daughters; Tammy, Wendy, and Ammi and their families. Rittenhouse is also in charge of the antique truck show held each year during the LFR celebration and will be driving himself in the parade in the antique truck which was used to haul the fireworks to the set-off site at the school.Â

Activities in downtown Mt. Morris are family friendly From A1 Activities centered around the Mt. Morris downtown square are free and familyoriented and are paid for by LFR Committee fundraisers and donations.

substance (heroin), a class 1 felony.

His bond was set at $50,000.

He was also arrested on a failure to appear warrant for several charges with a bond set at $15,896.97.

Judge Kathleen Kauffmann appointed public defender Dennis Riley June 24 to represent Martinez in court.

According to Ogle County court records, Martinez has a lengthy criminal history.

Gildea has been charged with delivery of a controlled substance (cocaine), a class X felony.

His bond was originally set at $50,000, but was reduced to $25,000 Monday during a court appearance before

Judge Robert Hanson.

Please don’t put non-recyclables into recycling bins

By Reita Nicholson Administrative Assistant Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department Summer is in full swing and the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department (OCSWMD) has observed an increase in use of its’ five recycling drop-off bins.

The combination of good weather, graduation parties, and backyard BBQ’s help to generate more waste, a lot of which is recyclable.

These bins are located in the following communities.

Byron: 6845 N. German Church Rd.; Forreston: Ash St., near City Public Works; Monroe Center: Mulford

Road, south of Ill. 72; Oregon: Ogle County Farm Bureau lot; and Rochelle: Big R lot.

The Orchard Hills Landfill also operates a recycling bin at 8290 Ill. 251 in Davis Junction and Moring Disposal operates a recycling bin in Polo at Franklin Street and Locust Street.

In order to keep costs down and to be able to continue to provide this service to Ogle County residents, the OCSWMD reminds users of these recycling bins to avoid contamination of the recyclable materials, which means avoid placing items which are not recyclable into the bins.

Bins are for residential use only and for people who do not have curb-side recycling pick-up.

The bins are not intended for business use.

Items found so far this year in and around the recycling bins that are not recyclable include lumber, sliding glass doors, televisions, gas cans, fire extinguishers, gutters, aluminum siding, PVC piping, fencing, pool filters, windows, a fish tank, furniture, clothing and shoes, shower doors, curtain rods, toys, and household trash.

Adding these items to the bins adds cost to the program since they are transported to

the recycling facility then disposed of at a landfill.

The OCSWMD is charged a hauling fee each time the container is emptied. The materials being recycled currently have no value due to the depression of the commodities’ prices.

Contamination also causes the bins to fill up faster.

Those that use the drop-off recycling program regularly know how frustrating it can be to find the container full when dropping off items to

be recycled.

The only items accepted for recycling in these bins include unbroken glass bottles and jars, plastic containers labeled #1-5 and #7, aluminum and steel cans, and paper products such as cardboard, office/ school paper, newspaper, magazines, phone books, paperboard containers, greeting cards, and gift wrap.
