Gaming issues for problem gamblers
101 OHS seniors get their diplomas By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com
Editor’s note: This is part 3 of a 4-part series on the impact of local video gaming terminals.
At 2:50 p.m. on Sunday, Oregon High School Principal Andrew Nelson instructed 101 graduating seniors to move their tassels from the left to the right, and then turn around and face the 1,500 people in attendance at the Blackhawk Center. With that, Nelson proudly said to the well wishers, “I present the class of 2016.” Much the same way an incoming freshman is told time will seemingly go faster for the next four years than they’ve experienced, the Oregon High School commencement was over. Earlier in the ceremony, Nelson acknowledged 33 seniors who graduated with honors, including cum laudes, National Honor Society, community service and Premier Scholars. Three grads were also mentioned for entering the Armed Services. Close to half the class had a GPA over 3.0. “We gave out over $350,000 in scholarships and have 11 seniors with a grade point average of 4.0 or higher,” Nelson said. The class valedictorian was Jacob Ebens, who led all classmates with 689 hours of public service, besides being a Premier Scholar, member of the National Honor Society and a summa cum laude. “We entered kindergarten with one step,” said Ebens in his senior reflection. “One step – that’s all. One step leads to all others. “Looking back on our past four years, our steps were

heavy with burden or carefree and light. There are many more step to come and that will lead us on the greatest journey of our life,” he said. Paul Reckamp, National Society Member, Premier Scholar and summa cum laude gave the salutatorian address. He likened the time at OHS to a movie. “The credits at Oregon High School are about to roll, but the film is not over yet,” said Reckamp, with his family proudly beaming from the front row of seats. “Think big and be willing to work for your dreams.” His final message to fellow grads was to “bask in this moment”. The commencement address was by Don Griffin, a 1970 OHS graduate. His words were of encouragement. “I encourage everyone of you to be engaged (in life),” Griffin said. “I would encourage you to take the time to thank your mentors and friends.”

Griffin wrapped up his talk, quoting Winston Churchill and actually impersonating his voice. “Never, never, never, never
give up,” he said. In addition to the 101 graduates, honorary diplomas were presented to nine foreign exchange students.
The sole purpose of a slot machine is to redistribute wealth from the poor and stupid to the rich. At least that’s the definition from the Urban Dictionary. Not all people that play slots are poor and stupid. Many are highly educated and have plenty of disposable income. But, a percentage of those will continue to play slots despite harmful and negative consequences. “As far as I’m concerned, the only places that should have gambling are Las Vegas, Reno and Atlantic City,” said a husband of a problem gambler. His wife also realizes she has a gambling addiction and has gone as far as having herself banned from casinos in Illinois and the surrounding states. That does not prevent her from entering any of the 40-plus establishments in Ogle County that offer video gaming terminals. She tried them and lost hundreds of dollars. “I hope these places go out of business,” her husband said ruefully. “There are six of them within four blocks of where we live. They don’t belong here.” Though video gaming is a temptation for problem gamblers, they are probably here to stay. But, is there is anything that can be done to include video gaming establishments on the self-exclusion list that the Illinois Gaming Board offers for casinos? “It’s something we are working on,” said Gene O’Shea, Director of the Statewide Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program for Problem Gamblers. “Our chairman and board are very interested in it.” The Gaming Board began its first selfexclusion program in 2002; about 10 years after casinos were licensed in Illinois. Currently, there are 11,958 people who have voluntarily signed up. Turn to A7
TelePharm defers to Felker By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Telepharmacy officials who announced their intention late last year to open in Mt. Morris, released a change of plans last week. Instead, according to a May 20 press release from TelePharm Pharmacy, Byron pharmacist Tom Felker is interested in opening a Mt. Morris telepharmacy. “TelePharm Pharmacy, with a community group of investors from Mt. Morris, had planned to open a telepharmacy site in town under a special program,” the press release said. “However recently, TelePharm Pharmacy learned that a local pharmacy owner, Tom Felker, would commit to opening a telepharmacy location in 2017. TelePharm Pharmacy is excited that the community will once again have local access to pharmacy
care services.” Felker declined to comment on Tuesday. “There’s too many variables to comment on it at this time,” he said. TelePharm Pharmacy Director of Marketing Greg Janes said Tuesday afternoon that his company will be “partnering” with Felker. “Tom Felker will be opening a pharmacy using TelePharm software,” he said in a phone interview. Mt. Morris Economic Development Committee Chairman Rob Urish told the village board last Sept. 22 that the telepharmacy was planning to open inside the Main Street Bistro, 12 W. Main St., owned by Dave and Maggie Johnson. TelePharm officials said in December that they hoped to open early this year. Janes declined to comment on where Felker will locate his pharmacy. TelePharm Pharmacy,
In This Week’s Edition...
based in Iowa City, offers both online and on site services. In a telepharmacy, a pharmacist online and offsite inspects and verifies prescriptions, which are dispensed by on-site technicians, often the same day. Customers can order in person or online, then pick up the prescription. They also have the ability to talk with the off-site pharmacist. Urish said last fall that Mt. Morris investors were putting up $50,000, and TelePharm had committed $200,000 to $250,000 to remodel the site. Mt. Morris has been without a pharmacy since Felker closed his on Wesley Avenue several years ago. Felker owns a pharmacy and hardware store in Oregon, a pharmacy and grocery store in Byron, as well as pharmacies in Polo, Dixon, Winnebago, and Poplar Grove.

Operators returned Byron Generating Station Unit 2 to full power on May 19. The unit, which supplies power to more than 1 million homes, was taken offline April 18 for a planned refueling and maintenance outage. According to a press release from Byron Station, during the outage, workers performed more than 13,000 detailed inspections, maintenance activities and equipment upgrades.
“By replacing and updating equipment on an ongoing basis, it ensures the plant uses the most up-todate technology. In addition, about one-third of the nuclear fuel was replaced during the outage,” the release read. “Illinois homes and businesses count on reliable energy production,” said Mark Kanavos, Byron Station’s site vice president. “The work completed during the outage is key to ensuring customers have power when
they need it most.” More than 1,200 temporary skilled workers from local union halls and technical experts from other Exelon Generation facilities supported Byron Station’s employees during the refueling outage.

10 public meetings last month, including one in Rochelle, to gather input on a proposed 278-mile rail line project that would extend from southern Wisconsin to northern Indiana. The system would extend from Milton, Wisconsin, to La Porte, Indiana, requiring overpasses for several interstates and four rivers, including the Rock River in Ogle County.
The route would run through sparsely populated areas, bypassing the congested Chicago rail system. The new rail lines would connect with existing Class I railroads. Plans call for one of the branches to connect with Rochelle’s rail system on the city’s southeast side before continuing to an Interstate 39 overpass.

Many local community members participated in Project LEAD’s effort to promote healthy decision making during prom season. Project LEAD (Leaders Encouraging Abstinence from Drugs) is a communitybased coalition that aims to promote youth abstinence from mind altering, addictive substances. As part of their vision,
Youth LEADers designed t-shirts that could be worn by community members during their school’s prom weekend. The message read “P.R.O.M. Please Return On Monday” and encouraged students to think about their decisions and make healthy choices that would guarantee their return to school the Monday following prom.
Ogle County schools and businesses that participated include Stillman Valley HS, Byron HS, Oregon HS, United Church of Byron, Oregon United Methodist Church, and Woodforest National Bank. To support Project LEAD and get involved, contact Jessie Hafer at jessie. whalen@lssi.org or 815284-7796 ext 2315.

Medics embedded with Ogle County ERT team By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com Medics will now join the Ogle County Emergency Response Team (ERT) to ensure the quickest response to medical issues that may occur during police procedures. Ogle County Sheriff ’s Brian VanVickle was joined by officials from Swedish American Hospital May 17 during the official announcement for the implementation of medics (TEMS) imbedded with the Ogle County Emergency Response Team. “During the past twenty months we have worked very hard to implement this new resource,” VanVickle said in a press release. “The process involved many hours of training for the paramedics in SWAT tactics, but is also required cooperation from the doctors at Swedish American Hospital to authorize treatment protocols. We understand the challenges we, in law enforcement, face and have been committed to changing the way we do business, making sure our officers and deputies are treated in a timely manner.” The TEMS team is the first established in northern Illinois. It also allows medical responders to go into areas that were not normally accessible until a scene was completely secured. “I would like to thank Byron Fire Chief Galen Bennett and Rochelle Fire Chief Dave Sawsville for allowing members of their department to join the team,” VanVickle said. “I
The members of the Ogle County Emergency Response Team gather with officials that worked to get medics embedded with the SWAT team. The six officials in the middle of the back row are Tom Pratt, Swedish American Hospital EMS, Jon Strotkamp,Swedish American Hospital EMS Director, Jon Underwood, DO FACEP Swedish American emergency physician, Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle, and Rochelle Fire Chief Dave Sawsville.

would also like to thank Dr. John underwood and Swedish American Hospital for seeing the need.” The SWAT Medic team includes Emergency Medicine Physicians Dr. Jon Strotkamp and Dr. John Underwood along with a others from Swedish American’s EMS team. Katryna Kirby, Swedish American Hospital, issued a press release about the partnership. “Having a SWAT Medic Team aligned with a resource hospital is unique,” Kirby said in the release. “The SWAT Medic team is comprised of a few physicians and all paramedics, but they also are trained to respond to situations that are handled by the police.” For example, the team responded with the police to a stand-off situation last
month in Leaf River. Strotkamp and Underwood participated in a drill May 17 with the ERT. Although it isn’t likely that they would ever respond to a situation, as they would need extensive training on firearms in order to do that, Underwood is the medical
director and all protocols they operate under in the field are approved by him,” Kirby said. “This training drill is an opportunity for Underwood to see the type of training the SWAT Medic Team goes through as it isn’t a typical EMS service but still an important one.”
The ERT team has access to a BAE Caiman 6x6 MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle that VanVickle received for the U.S. Department of Defense and Homeland Security for no cost last year. The vehicle can carry numerous passengers in the
rear of the truck and will be used to safely transport the ERT team and the medics during emergency situations. The Ogle County Sheriff ’s Department also has a Humvee that can be used when the ERT team is needed.
Mott is master gardener intern Melody Mott is serving as an intern with the Ogle County Master Gardener program. On May 4, a total of 22 area volunteers graduated from the University of Illinois Extension Master Gardener training program held in DeKalb County. University of Illinois Extension’s Master Gardener program is an educational volunteer training program. Volunteers take classes that
provide information on horticulture topics including vegetables, tree and small fruits, insect and disease management, turfgrass management, annuals, perennials, soils, botany, and plant pathology. Once they’ve completed their training, they volunteer 60 hours over a two-year time period for their local county Extension program. They may answer client questions at the Horticulture
Hotline, assist with plant clinics, speak to various groups, conduct workshops, work with community and school gardens, and more. Master Gardener volunteers enable University of Illinois Extension to expand its potential to reach more people with horticulture information to improve their gardens and communities. Master Gardeners share a love of gardening and the desire to
share their knowledge with others. For more information about the Master Gardener program, please feel free to contact, Extension Program Coordinator, Sarah Rowland at sarowlan@illinois.edu or by phone 815-732-2191.

We want to do something, but aren’t sure yet how to do it.” For example, if someone wins a pot of more than $1,200 on a casino slot machine, paperwork must be filled out for tax purposes. If you had already placed yourself on the self-exclusion list, your winnings are given away to charity. Those caught gambling have forfeited 1.7 million dollars, including one person at $40,000 alone. However, local video gaming has a limit of $500 jackpots, thus excluding any paperwork that would track someone from the list. Thus, problem gamblers can play local slot machines without the risk of losing
their winnings. “There is also the whole issue of privacy,” O’Shea said. “The information (Social Security number, drivers license, age, address, photo) given to us is considered very confidential, but must be shared with the casinos.” Starting a self-exclusion list for the neighborhood bar that offer slot machines is in the preliminary stages and is hampered by the fact that there are more than 5,000 of these type of establishments in Illinois, compared to only 10 casinos. One idea that has been considered is requiring a driver’s license or players card be inserted in a slot machine before playing. If someone on the selfexcluded list tried to play, the card would be red-flagged, automatically shutting the machine down. “Some of the general public (non problem gamblers) wouldn’t be comfortable being forced to use their personal
information,” O’Shea said. “And, having a machine shut down creates problems for the operator.” Another idea proposed is educating the business owners on problem gambling and asking them to monitor their clientele. However, personal judgment is an imperfect science and a business also risks alienating its costumer base by doing so. For O’Shea, it is a headscratching dilemma and one that there is not yet a clearcut answer. The Gaming Board is looking at all aspects of this, even researching what is done in other countries. They are also seeking input from the casino industry on how to facilitate it. It took a year and half to put the selfexclusion program in action for casinos. “We need to do something,” O’Shea said. “I think there is a ticking time bomb with problem gamblers playing slot machines. It’s a form of adult entertainment that lots

of people can have fun with, but not all of them. People have committed suicide over this.” Stories abound about respected community members (not the poor and stupid) who have been arrested for criminal offenses to pay off gambling debts. “We’re seeing a lot more women, highly-educated women who are risking careers,” said Cheryl Hollembeak, a substance abuse and gambling counselor at Remedies in Rockford, one of the agencies listed on the Illinois Gaming Board website where problem gamblers can go for help. Hollembeak feels that “problem gambling” is actually a misnomer. “Actually, it is their solution,” she said of those with a gambling addiction, the same way alcoholics and drugs addicts use those substances as a solution. In reality, that solution never works and the gamblers finds themselves
mired deeper in a hole unless a way out is found. A year and a half ago, Hollembeak started a gambling anonymous meeting in Cherry Valley, as a source for those wanting help.
“We’re barely scratching the surface on what can be done,” Hollembeak said. “Since slot machines were established, we have definitely seen an increase in problem gambling.”

Peoria man sentenced for 2015 high speed chase By Angel Sierra Sauk Valley Media asierra@saukvalley.com A Peoria man was sentenced to a combination of probation, court supervision and community service after pleading guilty to some of the charges stemming from a May 6, 2015, high-speed chase that started at Castle Rock State Park. Daniel H. Swisher, 41, pleaded guilty May 16 to one count of criminal damage to government-supported property and one count of fleeing to elude. He will serve two, 2-year sentences concurrently: probation for using his 2015 Porsche to hit a marked squad car, and court supervision for the misdemeanor fleeing. “The sentence was crafted to address the mental health
issues which were brought up in open court ... last year, and [to] also protect public safety,” Ogle County State’s Attorney Eric Morrow said in an email. “The defendant had very little previous criminal history and was compliant with all pretrial requirements, including mental health treatment.” Total fines and court costs were $4,863, all of which have already been paid, Morrow said Monday. Restitution was paid by Swisher’s vehicle insurance. He also must serve 30 hours of community service, adhere to treatment recommendations, take prescribed medication, and maintain employment, in addition to the regular set of release conditions. He received credit for jail time served. Six felonies and a

Breast Yard Sale raising money for cancer research By Karen Virnoche Brown Cancer Survivor For a cancer patient and his or her family and friends, a cancer diagnosis is the beginning of a long journey. As a cancer patient – From the moment a person hears the life-changing words, “You have cancer,” that person is faced with learning about the disease,
understanding treatments, making vital decisions along with experiencing potential pain and emotional stress. As a caregiver – A caregiver is a person whose life has been touched by a cancer diagnosis of someone they know. Simply put, a caregiver is someone who has cared for someone with cancer. If you have done anything to provide support, given
your time, or simply been a shoulder to lean on, you are and always will be a caregiver. As they face their challenges, your support will help those fighting to win. Come and shop at the Breast Yard Sale in Town at Maple Hill Farm, 1194 Mud Creek Rd., Oregon. The sale opens May 28 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and
runs daily, rain or shine, for three weeks, through June 19. For information, call Karen 815-973-2050. Ogle County Relay for Life is June 3 at the Byron High School track. The event starts with Survivor Dinner at 4:30 p.m. The opening ceremony is at 6 p.m. Luminaria will be out at dusk.
Help fix the veteran’s headstones

The White Oak Cemetery Improvement Committee, Forreston, is asking the public, and especially veterans, to help with the repair work on veteran’s headstones. “White Oak has about 130 veterans interred there, and most of the old headstones have either fallen over or are in very bad shape,” said
committee member Russ Ruter. The flag markers, which designate the headstones as belonging to veterans, are also bent, he said. “We need more honor for these veterans than a half fallen-over headstone and a bent flag marker,” Ruter said. The committee is asking for help setting the stones
in place on concrete bases that will also hold the flag markers. The repairs will also make mowing around the stones more convenient. Funds are also needed for these and other repairs at the cemetery. Donations can be mailed to Forreston State Bank at PO Box 278, Forreston IL 61030.
Contributions can also be given to Sue Engelkens at the bank. When making a donation by check, write “improvement” on the memo line. Besides Ruter, members of the White Oak Cemetery Improvement Committee are Rick Stukenberg and Lloyd Wubbena.

CLOSING ILLINOIS’ NUCLEAR FACILITIES WOULD BE
MORE THAN JUST A BAD SIGN.
According to a State of Illinois report, if two at-risk plants close early, it will mean: 4,275 jobs lost
Increased carbon emissions
Up to $1.2 billion in lost economic activity each year
Risk of more and longer blackouts
Illinois has the opportunity to pass the Next Generation Energy Plan by May 31
to save our state’s nuclear facilities. Learn more: NuclearPowersIllinois.com

Astrograph You have plenty of options. Put your charm to good use. Thursday, May 26, 2016 GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Partnerships will be intense. Put your energy into passionate encounters, not into disagreements or trying to lavishly please someone who is giving you a hard time. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Jump in. Standing on the sidelines waiting to be asked to join the party is not going to help you get ahead. Stand tall and show off your unique attributes. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Get involved in a project that will stimulate your senses. A change and a challenge will help motivate and inspire you to bring about overdue personal changes. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Don’t underestimate a situation when dealing with partners or matters concerning your work, reputation or domestic situation. Travel, interactions with children and openness to suggestions are all favored.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -A competitive approach will show others that you aren’t a pushover. Express your will through your actions. It’s what you do that will help you gain the respect of others. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be aware of what others are up to. Friends and relatives will meddle if you let them. Stick close to home and do your own thing. A creative project will ease your stress. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Anger is the enemy. Put your energy into activities that encourage positive change. Offer compassion and affection instead of criticism or neglect. Avoid excess and questionable opinions and beliefs. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t wait. If an opportunity presents itself, make your move. Contracts, settlements and anything that can put you one step above your current position should be taken advantage of.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Test your strength. Get involved in activities that will motivate you. Make physical changes at home that will improve your living arrangements. A romantic gesture will bring good results. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t share your plans. Someone will take advantage of you or take credit for your ideas. Take your time and make sure you have left no detail unattended to. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Check out new possibilities. If you negotiate on your own behalf, you will make financial and contractual gains. A physical change is favored. A romantic celebration will enhance your love life. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t disregard what others say or offer. Working in unison with those willing to match you every step of the way will ensure that you reach your goal. Discuss, develop and promote. ©2016 UFS
