Price of Forensic Audit could double to $15,000 By Vinde Wells Editor A forensic examination of the Ogle County Sheriff’s Tow Fund may cost double the original estimate. The Ogle County Board on Tuesday authorized paying Sikich LLP, Naperville, up to $7,500 more to dig further into the financial records. The board agreed in May to pay Sikich $7,500 plus outof-pocket expenses for the initial investigation into the Tow Fund expenditures and revenues. County board chairman Kim Gouker said then that if fraud was uncovered during the examination, the costs could increase to as much as $300 per hour for the investigators’ services. In May, the board approved engaging the forensic services of Sikich to examine Tow Fund expenditures and revenues from the time it was implemented in 2011 to the present. The firm also does the county’s regular annual audits. Tuesday’s motion to pay Sikich the additional sum met with some opposition. The measure passed 19-3 with board members Lee Meyers, Students get off the bus at Forreston Grade School Tuesday morning for the first full day of classes. Photo by Vinde Wells

“I think they need to have their feet put to the fire and made to do it for the original $7,500,� — Lee Meyers, Byron Byron, Lyle Hopkins, Polo, and Dorothy Bowers, Byron, voting no. Board members Bill Welty, Chana, and Bruce McKinney, Rochelle, did not attend the meeting. Meyers said he believes Sikich is changing the cost midway through the process. “I think they need to have their feet put to the fire and made to do it for the original $7,500,� he said. Pat Saunders, Polo, said she remembered that Sikich officials said at the start that additional fees might be incurred. Hopkins said he is opposed to spending more. “If they haven’t found anything that jumped out at them by now, why should we give them more money?� he said. “Could it be they have found something?� asked Bobbie Colbert, Rochelle. “That could be,� replied Gouker. Gouker said that so far the investigators have looked
through the records they knew to be in existence and spent three days “on site� doing that. “Examinations like this are like peeling off an onion,� Gouker said. “There are different layers. They said the records were quite disorganized.� He said the investigators want to look at more records and do more interviews. They may find what they need without using all of the additional $7,500, he said. On the other hand, Gouker said, this may not be the last time they ask for more funds to complete the examination. Martin Typer, Stillman Valley, said he believes it is important that the examination is completed, even with the additional cost. “We owe it to the people we represent to find out what happened,� he said.

County board member Don Griffin agreed. “It’s not only going to serve the present but also long into the future for the county.� “This is a facility that’s desperately needed,� said architect Guy Gehlhausen. “It will have all the latest security.� Ogle County 911 Coordinator Sandy Beitel said the new building will be a more convenient, safer environment for county employees. The new building, which has been under construction since early this spring, will
replace the century-old sheriff’s office donated to the county more than 25 years ago by the E.D. Etnyre Company. The building has a leaky roof, needs electrical and technological upgrades, and is not handicapped accessible. The Oregon Mayor Tom Stone said he remembered working in the old building years ago when he first went to work for Etnyre’s. “This will be a nice facility,� he said. “It will be a great thing for the City of Oregon.� The final speaker was Nathan Heinrich, the vice president of Rockford Structures, the contractor for the project, who said he was Turn to A3

August meeting. Firefighter Yingling described the multiple pieces of a fire uniform and showed how a firefighter would like when entering a burning building. He told the kids not to be
afraid of the firemen, but to call out to them for help. He also explained the Stop, Drop & Roll procedure and what to do in a fire emergency. He then had the kids try on the fire coat and bunkers and then try to walk
in the heavy gear. It was a sight to see the kids struggling to hold up the extra weight! We would like to say thank you to Firefighter Yingling for his valuable life saving information.

CAL receives $4,500 grant for 10th statue The Community Art Legacy (CAL) has been awarded a grant of $4,500 by the Donald and Britta Peterson Memorial Fund of the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois—the area’s largest provider of grants and scholarships whose mission is to grow and preserve an endowment for the needs of the people of Northern Illinois. “The Community Art Legacy has provided nine exceptional pieces of bronze sculpture to the Oregon community over the last nine years,� said Betty Adams, a CAL founder. “The grant from the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois will give us additional resources to complete our final gift to the community – the statue of John Phelps, Oregon’s founder.� The Phelps sculpture will complete the “10 in 10� — 10 pieces of sculpture in 10 years which was the vision of the late Dick Adams, Betty’s husband, when CAL was established. Many people were able to see the first public display of the full sized clay model of the John Phelps sculpture on June 21 at the Ogle County Historical Society’s Living History Fair in Oregon. The sculpture is now at the inBronze foundry in Mt. Morris being prepared for casting. Completion of the piece, however, depends on continued public
contributions to the Community Art Legacy. Adams said CAL is planning a media campaign in September which will reveal the amount still needed for the project. She said CAL members plan to make presentations to community organizations that are interesting in helping fund the statue. Contributions in any amount are being accepted by CAL at P.O. Box 444, Oregon, IL. Photos of the piece can be viewed on the Ogle County Historical Society website in Past Event Photos.

Local customers not affected by recent Supervalu hackers By Vinde Wells Editor Customers at Oregon’s grocery store can rest easy — a “criminal intrusion” discovered last week into Supervalu’s computer network will not affect them. Jim Kaufman, owner of Oregon Super Valu, 204 N. Fourth St., said Tuesday that the intrusion announced Aug. 15 involved only the corporate computer system. “It had no effect on us. We’re completely separate from them,” he said. Kaufman was attending a work-related seminar last week when he got word that the Supervalu computers had been breached. “From what I’ve been told, there has been no fraud on any cards. They caught it really fast,” he said. “It was reassuring when I found out it had nothing to do with us.” A press release issued Aug. 15 by Supervalu officials, based in Eden Prairie, Minn., read, “Supervalu, Inc., today is announcing that it experienced a criminal intrusion into the portion of its computer network that processes payment card transactions for some of its retail food stores, including some of its associated standalone liquor stores.” “This criminal intrusion may have resulted in the theft of account numbers, and in some cases also the expiration date, other numerical information and/or
the cardholder’s name, from payment cards used at some point of sale systems at some of the company’s owned and franchised stores,” the press release read. “The company has not determined that any such cardholder data was in fact stolen by the intruder, and it has no evidence of any misuse of any such data, but is making this announcement out of an abundance of caution.” Supervalu officials believe that the payment cards from which such cardholder data may have been stolen were used during the period of June 22 (at the earliest) through July 17 (at the latest) at the 180 Super Valu stores and stand-alone liquor stores listed at www.supervalu.com under the Consumer Security Advisory section, operated under the Cub Foods, Farm Fresh, Hornbacher’s, Shop ’n Save and Shoppers Food & Pharmacy banners, according to the press release. The intrusion may also have resulted in the theft of such cardholder data from some cards used during this period at 29 franchised Cub Foods stores and standalone liquor stores, which are included in the store list referenced on the Super Valu website. Firm officials currently believe that the intrusion did not affect any of its owned or licensed Save-A-Lot stores or any of the independent grocery stores supplied by the company through
its Independent Business network other than the franchised Cub Foods stores referenced above, the release said “Upon recognition of the intrusion, the company took immediate steps to secure the affected part of its network. An investigation supported by third-party data forensics experts is on-going to understand the nature and scope of the incident. Supervalu believes the intrusion has been contained and is confident that its customers can safely use their credit and debit cards in its stores,” the press release read. Several area residents fell victim to a debit and credit card compromise in May of 2013 when a local merchant’s computer system was breached. Although the merchant was never named, local banks posted warnings to customers on their websites to monitor their statements for unauthorized charges. The banks informed the affected customers that they took steps to immediately close cards at risk of exposure and order new cards. That compromise may have been related to one at Schnuck’s earlier in 2013. In the spring of 2013, St. Louis-based grocery chain Schnucks revealed that 2.4 million credit and debit cards of its customers may have been compromised at its stores over four months beginning in late 2012.

dysfunctional family unites in the 1990s after the tragic death of their mother. The family struggles with questions about their loss at a time when most people never spoke of or knew about bipolar or other subtle mental imbalances.
Their quest for answers leads to shocking and lifealtering revelations that ultimately bring them all back together. Petta, who writes under the pen name V. Schroeder, lives in Forreston with her husband Frank Petta.

Service News Daniel Rambow A 2007 Byron High School graduate and Byron native is serving in the U.S. Navy as part of a crew working aboard one of the world’s most advanced ballistic missile submarines, the USS Alaska (SSBN 732). Petty Officer Daniel Rambow is a machinist mate serving aboard the Kings Bay-based boat, one of 14 Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines. Measuring 560 feet long, 42 feet wide and weighing more than 16,500 tons, a nuclear-powered propulsion system helps push the ship through the water at more than 20 knots. The Navy’s ballistic missile submarines, often referred to as “boomers,” serve as an undetectable launch platform for intercontinental ballistic missiles. They are designed specifically for stealth, extended patrols and the precise delivery of missiles if directed by the President.

The Ohio-class design allows the submarines to operate for 15 or more years between major overhauls. On average, the submarines spend 77 days at sea followed by 35 days in-port for maintenance. “We demand the highest standards from Petty Officer Rambow, technically and personally,” said Rear Admiral Charles A. Richard, commander, Submarine Group Ten in Kings Bay, Ga. “His Commanding Officer, his country, and I take great pride in his willingness to raise his hand and volunteer to serve the nation. “The importance of our Sailors is immeasurable; people like Petty Officer Rambow are crucial to ensuring our submarines are operating at their best and the mission is flawlessly executed. I’m so very proud he is on our team.” Rambow is part of the boat’s Blue crew, one of the two rotating crews, which allow the ship to be deployed on missions more often without taxing one crew too much. A typical crew on this submarine is approximately 150 officers and enlisted sailors. Because of the stressful environment aboard submarines, personnel are
accepted only after rigorous testing and observation. Submariners are some of the most highly trained and skilled people in the Navy. The training is highly technical and each crew has to be able to operate, maintain, and repair every system or piece of equipment on board. Regardless of their specialty, everyone also has to learn how everything on the ship works and how to respond in emergencies to become “qualified in submarines” and earn the right to wear the coveted gold or silver dolphins on their uniform. “The thing I like most about working on submarines compared to the rest of the fleet is I am required to know a little bit about everything. I get to have my hands in just about all aspects of the operational readiness of the boat – planning, testing and executing the mission,” Rambow said. Although it is difficult for most people to imagine living on a submarine, challenging submarine living conditions actually build strong fellowship among the crew. The crews are highly motivated, and quickly adapt to changing conditions. It is a busy life of specialized work, watches, and drills.

As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s most relied upon assets, Rambow and other USS Alaska (SSBN 732) sailors know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes. courtesy, military justice system, basic first aid, foot marches, and field training exercises.

Renewable energy fair is Aug. 23-24 The mayor of a town nearly destroyed by a tornado will be the featured speaker at the 13th annual Illinois Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair. Bob Dixson, mayor of Greensburg, Kans., will speak on Saturday, Aug. 23 at noon about how residents of his community embraced the responsibility to rebuild using the principles and concepts that are “green,” sustainable, and environmentally
conscious. “Greensburg rebuilt green and clean,” said event organizer Sonia Vogl. “He [Dixson] goes around the country helping other places to do that, too.” Greensburg was 95 percent destroyed by an EF-5 tornado in 2007, and 11 lives were lost. Illinois Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair will be held Saturday, Aug. 23 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
and Sunday, Aug. 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Ogle County Fairgrounds, just off Ill 64 west of Oregon. Numerous workshops will be held throughout the two days on topics ranging from going “green” to raising chickens and vegetables. “The speakers are always the highlights,” Vogl said. “We’ve arranged the workshops at different times so people can get to all of them.”
Nearly 50 booths will be featured offering a variety of products and information. Tickets are $5 per day or $7 for both days for adults. Children accompanied by adults are admitted free. Pets are not allowed. Food will be available and musical entertainment will be provided from noon to 4 p.m. each day. For more information visit www.illinoisrenew.org.
We would usually go back home late in the afternoon to do chores. Then we would come back for the grandstand show. Stars and Stripes would always be playing on the speakers. One big draw was the wrestling and boxing challenge. The promoter had a handturned siren to lure people in. The hype was similar to all-star wrestling. My dad and uncle would take my brother and me inside the tent to watch the show. One challenger from Oregon was a star athlete, still in high school. He won his bout and was awarded cash. The football coach found out about it and was really upset. Not only could he have been hurt, but accepting cash put him in the professional category and the coach threatened not to let him play sports. Sunday would be the big day. My aunt and uncle from Rockford, my aunt and uncle from town, and Grandma and Grandpa would come for the day. We would have a picnic in
the infield—fried chicken, potato salad, and other goodies. The men would watch the harness races. The first year we had the demo derby, the sulky drivers were very upset. They were afraid debris from the derby would be left on the track with the possibility of injuring the horses. Monday (Labor Day) was the last day and we would try to pack in as much as we could. The Lions had a pancake stand. Don Fuller, Roger Brunner, and others would be flipping pancakes. I think my record was seven pancakes. We would usually stock up on taffy to take home. The taffy-making machine was amusing to watch. The ladies making the candy were in red and white striped dresses and aprons. That booth always looked so clean and bright. The fair was always a happy and fun time. But then it would be back to reality—school starts tomorrow! Don Groenhagen Oregon

Oregon Fire Protection District receives property By Vinde Wells Editor The Oregon Ambulance Service’s building and vehicles officially became the property of the Oregon Fire Protection District last week. Fire Chief Don Heller said the ambulance service co-managers Jim and Betty Ferris turned over the
building at 101 Madison St. and the two ambulances to the fire district board at a special meeting Aug. 12. “We need to make some upgrades to the building and then we will move ATS [ATS Medical Services] down there,� Heller said. ATS, based in Loves Park, has kept an ambulance and crew at the Oregon Fire Station to answer the
fire district’s medical calls since July 1, two weeks after the Oregon Ambulance Service, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation, closed its doors due to financial reasons. For the first two weeks, ambulance calls in the fire district were answered by neighboring fire districts, all of which have their own tax-supported ambulance services.
Oregon is the only fire district in the area which does not include a tax-supported ambulance service. The fire district board plans to hold a referendum in April 2015 to ask taxpayers to allow them to levy real estate taxes to support an ambulance service. ATS has a 10-month contract with the fire district and will continue to provide
ambulance service in the meantime. Anyone who is transported in its ambulance will be billed by ATS, and the fire district will cover any shortfall associated with the cost of keeping the ATS ambulance and crew in town. That can only be a shortterm fix because the fire department’s tax revenues were levied for fire
protection, said Fire district attorney Brian O’Connor, Elburn in July. The fire district, which is 120 square miles and bordered by 10 other fire districts, includes all of Oregon-Nashua Township and portions of Pine Creek, Pine Rock, White Rock, Rockvale, Marion, Grand Detour, and Taylor Townships.

Local businessman retires after 50 years in Oregon By Vinde Wells Editor A longtime Oregon entrepreneur never intended to get into the retail business when he first came to town more than five decades ago. Dean Dye, 82, said he was meeting with Guy Bradbury in 1961 to talk with him about redesigning his department store in Oregon’s downtown. He came away from that meeting with a signed sales contract in hand for what soon became the D. Dean Dye Company at 305 Washington Street. That began more than 50 years of owning and operating more than a dozen businesses in the community. Dye plans to retire from retail in the next few weeks, close his store Furniture Plus at Pines Plaza, and lease the building. He won’t be retiring completely though, he will continue to be the property manager at the plaza, which he owns. Dye remembered his meeting with Bradbury very well. He already owned his own store design business and had gone to the large department store with that in mind. Bradbury, who was 76 at the time, apparently had other plans. After they discussed the remodeling project, Bradbury invited Dye, then 27, to his office on the third floor. Once there, Bradbury began to write on a piece of paper. After about a half hour, Dye said, he was handed a contract, effective that day, for him to purchase the store. The handwritten document spelled out the amount and all the details. “I was shocked,” Dye said. “I said ‘I’ll need to think about this for a couple of days.’ He said ‘This isn’t a thinker, it’s a doer today or not.’ It was a good deal so I took it and we worked out the details later.”
As soon as both had signed the paper, Dye said Bradbury gave him the key to the store and said to his assistant, “I’m tired, Margaret, and I’m going home.” Within two weeks, Dye said he was running his new store. Dye and his wife Dorris and their family were living in Ashton at the time, but soon moved to Oregon. He said he enjoyed running the department store. “Those were the happiest years of my life,” he said. He later sold the store to J.L. Allum who continued to run it for several years. Dye was born and raised in southern Missouri. His father worked for the Frisco Railroad, and Dye followed in his footsteps, first going to railroad school and then working as a manager for two years. “I really loved the railroad,” he said. But he also had always loved drawing and drafting. His uncle owned a general store in the small town where he grew up. Those two things led him into store design and retail. “I put a clothing store in that town when my wife and I were just kids,” he said with a chuckle. Dye kept designing stores throughout his career. In all he designed at least 180 stores all over the country, but mainly in the Midwest, he said. One of his projects was the National Clothing House building at the corner of Washington and Fourth Streets in Oregon. He designed the aluminum shake awning still on the building. Dye’s design work led him to start factories where he could manufacture his own metal and wood showcases, cabinets, racks, and store fixtures. His first factory was next to the Rock River on Washington Street in the former Napa

building. He later bought a brick building on Pines Road for a factory and eventually added Pines Plaza to his holdings. When the old Schiller Piano Factory came up for sale in the late 1970s, Dye saw possibilities. “I was working with shopping centers all over the country at the time,” he said. “I saw no sense of building out in a cornfield.” He bought the building and converted it into Conover Square, an enclosed shopping mall that initially boasted more the 30 retail shops as well as two restaurants. “We had busloads of ladies coming out from Chicago,” he said. “It was a great success.” He also purchased the former Pleasant Hill School at the corner of Ill. 64 and Daysville Road and developed it into Countryside East Apartments. He was the developer of the Hickory Heights Subdivision east of Oregon. Over the years, Dye also manufactured and sold modular homes. His son Scott recalled that the homes were put together on a converted railroad track that moved them down the assembly line. Dye also sold travel trailers at one time. His complete list of

Plus, and Oregon Self-Storage. Dye wasn’t all business. He and Dorris raised three children, all of whom graduated from Oregon High School and went on to get college degrees. Active in civic affairs, Dye was Oregon’s Citizen of the Year in 1987, and served as president of the Oregon Chamber of Commerce and
the Oregon Lions Club in the 1970s. He was also involved in founding the Autumn on Parade festival. Dye said he liked Oregon when he first moved here and still likes it after 53 years. “I’ve enjoyed living here all these years,” he said. “I’m pleased with my career here. I would probably do it all over again.”

Lowden on the map for two Tin Can Tourists Antique car and camper make trek through Canada By Earleen Hinton General Manager
trailer) a hitch, and teeny propane tank. “A guy made it as a gag gift, but it really works,� Boehme said. “I’ve had people ask me where they can get one like it. And you won’t believe how many times I’ve had to use this book.� Boehme owned the 1956 Ford since the 1980s and found the camper about 10 years ago. “The camper was white so I had it painted to match the car and the upholstery,� he said. After some upgrades which included disc brakes and trailer brakes, the station wagon was ready to pull the camper. “The car is original and has been rebuilt. The trailer is just big and bulky—like pulling a big shoebox, but I tell people that with the wings I’m aerodynamic,� he said smiling. The trio made the trip in good shape, with the exception of a lost mud flap, flat tire, and wayward roof vent. “The roof vent blew off in Moonbeam, Ontario, but a local carpenter made me a new one out of a piece of wood which we attached with duct tape. We had to get that all fixed up before it rained,� Boehme said. “The roof vent blew off again but one of the guys from the caravan saw it in the ditch, knew immediately what it was, and picked it up for me.� Driving antique vehicles also means traveling at antique speeds. “We drove at 1950s speeds which means 40-50 mph, like the speed limits were back then,� Boehme said. “I check the fluids every night and the car does use a little bit of oil.� “The newest car Don owns is a 1975,� interjected Hardekopf. “Our average speed for this trip was 38 mph.� “Well, let me just say that the people who see us on the highway have plenty to time to take our picture,� Boehme said. “We went a long ways, but this little trailer made it.�
When Don Boehme pulled into Lowden State Park last Wednesday the first thing he did was find some shade for his “friends�. “She tends to run a little hot,� said Boehme, an Oak Park resident. That’s to be expected — especially for a 58-year-old who just finished pulling her 52-year-old traveling companion up Lowden hill after logging 3,000 miles. Boehme, age 76, was talking about his 1956 Ford station wagon and his 1962 Shasta camper, a perfectly matched red and tan throwback to the days before tollways were the mode of the modern day travelers. Boehme, followed by his friend Doug Hardekopf, of Above, Don Boehme pulls his 1956 Ford and 1962 Shasta camper into the campground area at Lowden State Somonauk, were on their last Park. Below, Boehme, left, and Doug Hardekopf, right, show where their Canada trip started and ended. The pair leg of a month-long trek that stopped at Lowden State Park on Aug. 6 while headed back to their Chicago-area homes. Photos by Earleen Hinton started in Toronto, Canada on July 8. The pair are members of the Tin Can Tourists, an “all make and model vintage trailer and motor coach club.� The club’s goal is to “promote and preserve vintage trailers and motor coaches� through gatherings and trips where participants can exchange information while on the road with vintage vehicles. “We started on Yonge Street, which was built in 1792,� said Hardekopf, age 63. “We went across Ontario to Rainy River and then back through Minnesota to here. We were part of the Black Fly Caravan with other vintage campers.� Hardekopf was pulling his 2010 fiberglass Scamp camper with a modern-day truck. “The Scamps are called the ‘egg trailers’. They started being built in 1972 when someone got the idea to take a septic tank and make it into a camper. It’s lightweight,� he said. While Hardekopf’s Scamp included a full bathroom, shower, and microwave, a peek into his camping mate’s Shasta was like a trip back in time. Road maps from the 1950s were presented neatly in a Mobil gas display case on the wall by the door that was right across from the snazzy coppertone stove, a popular color that premiered in the early-1960s. Boehme smiled as he sat at the camper’s kitchen table surrounded by curtains that were made to look like road maps and windows bordered by antique travel stickers. Within reach was his vintage “How to Fix Your Ford� and his one-of-a-kind Shasta toaster that he won as a door prize. The chrome toaster had been retrofitted with little These antique road maps are displayed in Boehme’s wings (echoing his Shasta 1962 Shasta camper. Photo by Earleen Hinton

Marcos have the talent to succeed in the NUIC By Chris Johnson Reporter The Polo Marcos look to push through the barrier to play in the postseason this year after just missing the playoffs last year. Coach Andrew Hofer said his team has the talent to improve on last year’s 4-5 record. “Our senior class took lumps but they have worked hard each year,” said Hofer. “We also have a solid group of underclassman ready to help.” Last season the Marcos were in every game only to see the win slip away in the fourth quarter, “They were in close games last season and we are ready to work hard this year,” said Hofer. “Last year we were learning how to win. I think the youth will help us get this year. We are ready for the next step.” The Marcos are part of the Northwest Upstate Illini Conference (NUIC) and competition will be tough every week.
“Record-wise you never know what’s going to happen,” said Hofer. “Our conference has no cupcakes and we need to be ready.” East Dubuque will visit Polo to open the season on Friday, Aug. 29. “They are a good program,” said Hofer. “It makes for a good springboard for the season if we pick up a win in this tough matchup.” The Marcos have been working on drills to prepare for the season. They are also preparing for rule changes for the 2014 season. One change requires the kicker to be designated and all other players must be within five yards of the ball. This change was being worked on during Mondays practice. A continuing trend in football is working on proper tackling to ensure player safety. This year the Marcos will be led by junior quarterback Brody Grobe. “We were a young team

Weight training is one aspect of Cardinals team By Chris Johnson Reporter The clang of iron was ringing Monday afternoon when the Forreston Cardinals took to the weight room as they prepare for the 2014 football season. Football players spent the first part of practice lifting weights to gain the strength needed to compete in the Northwest Upstate Illini Conference(NUIC). Senior Dylen Hensley was working on strengthening his legs to become a better line backer.
“We want to make a better playoff push,” he said. “EPC and Lena will be tough this year and we need to be prepared.” Hensley knows strength is only one part of what is needed to be a strong team. He said conditioning and football techniques are also needed. These aspects are what the players are working hard to achieve under the guidance of coach Kyle Zick. “We are ready as a team to play,” said Hensley. “We have been working hard all summer long.”
Zick agrees the team has put in the hours this year. Some of this work was led by the seniors on the team. “Our experience is helping us by working on smaller details,” said Zick. “We are perfecting plays for this year.” The tough teams in the conference as usual will be Lena and EPC. “Galena will be a tough game this year,” said Zick. Forreston opens the season at home against Galena on Aug. 29. “Last year we had a long road trip which helped us bond,” said Zick. “These guys are close.” So far the temperatures have been cool throughout practice but the forecast calls for temperatures to increase to the 90s for the annual scrimmage game on Friday, Aug. 22. “We will be ready for anything” said Zick. Zick said the past couple seasons have had warm and humid games which allowed his players to gain experience by playing in those conditions. The team will be led by Senior quarterback Robert DeVries under center. “The experience we have should help prove doubters wrong,” said DeVries. “We love playing at home and we are ready to prove we can win.”
In order to win, DeVries said the team needs to focus on each game and not look ahead. “I think EPC will be a good matchup that will prepare us for the postseason,” he said.
Experience was also echoed by left tackle Jacob Cunningham. “I am looking forward to the season,” he said. “The experience we have is high and we are a smarter team this
year.” Cunningham experienced the pains of the playoffs last season. “We messed up in the playoffs,” he said. “We want to correct that this season.”

On June 15 during the opening session of the National Emergency Number Association, (NENA), the Ogle County Sheriff’s Office was recognized for completing and becoming a partner of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). This process took approximately 18 months to complete. NCMEC requires several steps be completed prior to becoming a partner. It is required that a
management person attend the chief executive officer training which was held at the NCMEC Center in Alexandria, Va. This course is designed for chiefs, sheriffs, 911 directors and clearinghouse managers. Only applicants in these positions were considered. Sandy Beitel, E911 Coordinator, was chosen to attend the training. The two-day seminar familiarized participants with issues related to missing child cases including effective policies and practices, technical assistance, training, and available resources. Participants were expected
to attend all training segments and complete an evaluation form. Once the training is complete, all the telecommunicators had to successfully complete an online training in all aspects of missing and exploited children. The sheriff’s office then had to adopt a standard operating procedure that would be utilized in the case of a missing or exploited child. Once all of the steps were completed, the documentation and the procedure were submitted to NCMEC for approval.
Solid waste electronic recycling event is Sept. 20 in Dixon The Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department (OCSWMD), in partnership with the Lee County Office of Solid Waste Management and Secure Recycling Services (SRS) will be conducting an electronic waste collection event on Saturday, Sept. 20, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. This event will be located at the SRS facility at 629 Palmyra Road, Dixon.
As of Jan. 1, 2012, the State of Illinois banned electronic devices from landfills to help protect the environment and so these valuable materials may be recycled. Obsolete electronic devices contain many recyclable materials, and also materials, such as heavy metals, which can harm the environment if not properly managed. SRS is a local non–profit company which is recognized
by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) as an authorized collector, recycler, and re-furbisher of electronic waste in Illinois. SRS provides data destruction, proper handling, and de-manufacturing of electronics being recycled. Items accepted at this event will be adding machines, answering machines, cameras, CD’s/DVD’s, CD players, CD-ROM drives,
calculators, cell phones, computer cables, computers (desktop and laptop). Additional items that will be accepted are computer monitors, credit card machines, disk players, DVD players, FAX machines, floppy disk drives, and ink cartridges. Joy sticks, keyboards, main frames, medical equipment, microwaves ($10 fee per unit), modems, and pagers
can also be recycled. The following items are also acceptable. PDA’s, postage machines, printers, projectors, scanners, servers, shredders, and stereo equipment. The list continues with tape drives, telephones, telephone systems, terminals, televisions, toner cartridges, VCR’s, video game equipment, and zip drives. Computers often contain
highly personal information. Before donating or recycling computers or memory devices, clean the hard drive. OCSWMD and SRS assumes no responsibility to protect any electronic data remaining in electronics recycled through this program. For instructions on removing data from the hard drive go to, www.oglecounty. org.

Sheriff’s police are seeking man who robbed Casey’s in Creston The Ogle County Sheriff’s Department is seeking information from the public about an armed robbery that occurred over the weekend in Creston. According to a press release from the sheriff’s department, a man brandishing a hand gun demanded cash from the salesperson at the Casey’s
General Store on Ill. 38 on Sunday, Aug. 17 at 4:30 a.m. The store cashier was not injured. The suspect, who was caught on a video camera during the robbery, is believed to be Caucasian, approximately five feet, seven inches tall with an average build.
He was wearing darkcolored pants, a dark green fleece-type jacket, gray T-shirt, and a black stocking hat, and possibly house slippers. Anyone with information is can call the sheriff’s office at 815-732-6666 or CrimeStoppers at 888-2284488.
The Illinois State Police would like to encourage schools to participate in the Operation Teen Safe Driving Program this 2014-2015 school year. In the spring of 2007, Operation Teen Safe Driving (OTSC) was launched in rural Tazewell County after automobile crashes took 15 teen lives in 15 consecutive months. In the five years since OTSD was implemented there have been no additional teen fatalities in Tazewell County. In 2008, through a variety of sponsors, this lifesaving program was adopted in Illinois statewide. OTSD is a program where students develop and implement a peer-to-
peer-based traffic safety program for their school and community. Each school receives $2,000 to run the program. The program focuses on seat belt use, the prevention of underage drinking, distracted driving, and speeding. At the end of the program, schools must provide a PowerPoint for judges to review how the program was implemented and how teens chose to promote their traffic safety message. By participating in the program, top winners from each region will receive post prom money, ranging from $500 to $2,500. Also, top winners will attend a Ford Driving Skills for Life- Ride and Drive event. Students from top winning schools will learn critical driving skills from professional race car drivers.
OTSD is now sponsored by Ford Motor Company, Fund Allstate Foundation, and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). Parents are encouraged to call local high schools and ask them to participate if they are not already. It takes teens, parents, schools, law enforcement, and communities working together to improve traffic and public safety. High Schools who want to participate must apply online at www. teensafedrivingillinois.org/. The application deadline is Monday, Sept. 15. The OTSD program begins Oct. 15 and runs through the end of January.

Helping others will make you stand out from the crowd. The leadership you show will gain you a positive response when you approach individuals in a position to support your cause. People who share your ideals will gravitate to your side, generating the strength you need to succeed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Keep your reputation intact by finishing what you start. If you focus on accomplishment, someone will recognize what you have to offer and be willing to pay for your services. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Turn on the charm today. You will impress people with your ideas if you take the time to schmooze. Trying to force your opinions on others will slow things down and irritate your peers. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Look over your shoulder. Someone will try to make you look bad or take advantage of you. Keep your eyes and ears open to avoid being taken by surprise. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If you deliver your ideas with confidence, your communication
skills will impress your business associates. A trip will prove to be very enlightening, rendering a necessary decision easier to make.
You are likely to hear complaints if you have been neglecting your chores. Get caught up in order to leave more time to explore your own interests.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Make your own decisions. Don’t let someone else’s opinion deter you from going where you need to go or doing what you want. Keep an eye on your wallet and valuables.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Have some laughs today. Take a trip someplace novel, or just get together with special friends. A good time free from worries will make you feel refreshed and ready to conquer the world.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Partnership worries will surface. Avoid getting into a battle of wills just because you don’t share the same ideas. Agree to meet halfway and respect each other’s decisions.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Use your ingenuity to clear up pending legal matters. Someone will look to you for assistance. Be wise in your assessment of the situation before you offer help.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Researching a matter that appeals to you will help broaden your knowledge. Work-related issues will turn in your favor. Be vocal with your ideas.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Focus on home, family and domestic matters. You can minimize personality clashes by keeping your thoughts to yourself. Sit back and listen to complaints being made before you make a move.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be careful not to overlook the youngsters in your life. You can get a whole new perspective on a situation if you listen to the innocence of a child’s point of view. ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
