LFR speaker was piloting jet over ocean on 9/11 By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com

London to Chicago. “I’d just started my break when the first flight attendant told me I was wanted back in the cockpit,” he told the crowd at the July 4 Let Freedom Ring Patriotic Program. Soon he received a note that gave only sketchy details, but said both towers at the World Trade Center had been hit, that it was a hijacking, and “others may

be in progress.” He locked the cockpit door and posted the plane’s third pilot beside it, armed with a Mt. Morris native Mike crash axe.

After consulting with his crew, Ballard opted to divert to Gander International Airport in Newfoundland. Even that did not prove simple — with enough fuel on board to get to Chicago, the jet was too heavy to make a safe landing at a closer airport. The crew dumped some of the fuel. They planned a precision landing, but Gander’s equipment for that was not working, which meant searching for the airport at a low altitude among the abundant forest. “The trees were looking pretty close,” Ballard said with a grin. They soon found out they were in line with 39 other jumbo jets wanting to land at Gander - an airport accustomed to maybe 10 planes at a time, he said.

Experts will know in about two weeks whether or not they concocted the right mixture last week to repair Oregon’s most well-known landmark. Black Hawk statue restoration team members Andrzej Dajnowski, from Conservation of Sculpture & Objects Studio, Inc., Forest Park, and Amy Lamb Woods, professional engineer from Simpson, Gumpertz & Heger, Inc., Chicago, were at Lowden State Park July 1 to inject four different mixtures of repair materials into the cracks in the 104-year-old concrete monolith. “We have to let them set and then look at the surface and see how they performed,” Woods said. “We’ll know in about two weeks.” Dajnowski, the project conservator, made four different mixtures of cement and lime in plastic containers and then climbed the scaffolding surrounding the

Drum corps polishes up its skills on OHS field By Sarah Zuniga Correspondent Some Oregon residents may have heard brass and percussion cadences rather than fireworks to start their Fourth of July weekend. Oregon High School was the practice location for the Music City Drum & Bugle Corps on July 3, before their performance later that night at Rockford’s Show of Shows at Boylan Catholic High School. The corps arrived at Oregon High School in the morning and practiced all day, then performed a full run-through of their show shortly before 3 p.m. Keith Hall, executive director of Music City, founded the corps back in 2008. “I was in a drum corps in 1980 and it was the most fun I’d ever had,” said Hall. “I was a band director for nine years and I always wanted to

start a drum corps and seven year ago, a group of people in Nashville got it going. We had 47 members the first year, this year we have 128.” Music City’s show this year features three movements from Gustav Holst’s “The Planets”: “Mars: the Bringer of War”, “Venus: the Bringer of Peace”, and “Jupiter: the Bringer of Jollity.” The Show of Shows was the first event for Music City this season. “Most of them right now have no idea how much fun tonight is going to be,” said Hall. “When they hear the audience cheer at the end of the show, they will, then and only then, understand how much all of the sweat was worth it.” Snare drum player Colton Hyten, Portland, Tennessee, is a two-year member of Music City. “It’s really different than anything else I’ve ever done in my life,” said Hyten about

playing in the corps. “It’s very demanding in every mental and physical way that I can ever imagine and it really pushes you in those ways. “ “I think we’re going to do good,” said Hyten about this year’s corps. “We try not to follow ourselves score-wise. We try to make every rep count and make everything the best that we can be as we move forward through the summer, and as long as we’ve improved at the end, and we’re as good as we can be, we’re striving for a perfect show, and so it doesn’t really matter what the numbers give us, as long as we get that perfect show to us, then that’s what it is.” Music City went on to place second in the Open Class that night, with a score of 54.1. “We don’t focus on competition at all. We just want to be the best drum corps we can be,” said Hall.

he said. After tending to all their needs for five days, the community put together a band and choir to play and sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” just before they left, by then in cold rain. “It was truly an experience in my life,” Ballard said. “I thought ‘what more can they do for us?’” Leaving at last, he said, “It was kind of like Freedom Reborn.” Freedom Reborn was the theme of this year’s festival. The crowd gave Ballard a standing ovation. “I think everyone can see now why my cousin Mike was my idol growing up,” summed up emcee Stan Ballard, Mt. Morris American Legion Commander. He invited the crowd to take part in the annual ringing of the Official State Freedom Bell on Kable Square, which is rung 13 times each July 4 to commemorate the 13 original colonies. Two extra ropes were extended from the bell rope this year to make space for more festival-goers to help ring the bell.

Pine Creek News By Karen Merlak It was a perfect weekend for celebrating our country’s independence. June’s above average rainfall has given way to beautiful sunny days. In all things we can give God the glory. He has created this beautiful world for His children to enjoy, and for this we give thanks. This morning in church, we were greeted by Robert Toms, Jr. Our special music was the hymn, “Let There Be Peace on Earth,” sung by Nancy Hopkins. Ron Baker read the scripture lesson before Pastor Gregg Downs gave his message. Ron and Sharon Baker recently celebrated their 40th anniversary by renewing their vows at our church. Congratulations to this wonderful couple and their many years together. Martha Johannssen celebrates her birthday this

week as well. Martha has been a very faithful member of our church. We wish her a very Happy Birthday. Jim and Nancy Hopkins rode in the 4th of July parade in Mt. Morris on Saturday morning for the annual Let Freedom Ring festival. Jim has an old truck that he has fixed up and is great addition to the parade. On Saturday afternoon, many friends and family gathered at the home of Kent and Judy Nettz to celebrate the end of the treatment schedule for Judy. Kent and Judy’s children, Janelle Riopell, her husband, Andy, their children, Carrie and Evie, Kevin Nettz and his wife, Becky, and Kelsi Jones, her husband, Mike, and their children, Maddie, Carson, and Cameron helped put together a wonderful celebration. We spent a perfect afternoon having a delicious meal, listening to great music, and sharing in wonderful conversation. We are all so happy for our dear friend Judy. On Monday evening, I had a call from Matt. He is doing well with his classes.

The Marines manage to keep everyone busy when they are not in class, but he is finding time to study the material. Stephanie continues to work and take classes this summer. It’s hard to believe she will be senior this fall. I am so proud of all of her accomplishments thus far. I think these years have gone much faster for me than they have for her. I love to hear that my children have been calling and communicating with each other. In fact, a few weeks ago, I heard Clint talking in our basement. After a minute, I heard Stephanie’s voice, too. They were talking to each other with Skype, which allows for video calls.

Warren and Carol Reckmeyer have supplied the display for July.

I think the long distance between the siblings has actually brought them closer. They are getting to the age where they appreciate the limited time they have together. For whatever reason, it makes their mother very happy. Clint was back at camp once again. I met him on Wednesday night for our usual laundry visit. Which is to say that I do his laundry while he goes to Nash Recreational Center. He’s lucky that laundry is my favorite chore. On Saturday morning, my nephew, Garrett Bittinger, surprised me and offered to help mow my lawn. It was his first time mowing, so I showed him how to use

my mower and sent him on his way. He very excitedly mowed up and down and across my yard. I remember being young and getting to do a task that was reserved for the adults. Getting to do a new job was always fun until it became a chore. The act of going to church can be the same way. Attending a new church, meeting new people can be exciting. Once going becomes a routine, it can feel like a chore. When we remember the reason that we started going in

Rager takes part in pinning ceremony An Oregon woman was among the Kishwaukee College Radiologic Technology graduates who participated in a traditional pinning ceremony on June 27. Katrina Rager, Oregon, was one of the 2015 radiology graduates. The tradition of pinning healthcare graduates originates with the nursing profession in 1860 when Florence Nightingale presented a lapel pin to her best students. Over the years, other healthcare professions have added the practice to their graduation traditions to symbolize an official initiation into the students’

chosen healthcare profession. At the Kishwaukee College Radiologic Technology pinning, each graduate was pinned individually by Lori Damask, clinical site coordinator, and congratulated by Marie Meadors, radiologic technology instructor. Each graduate then publicly recognized family and friends who had been supportive of their efforts while a student and gave each person a gerbera daisy in gratitude. Graduates, family, and friends then were offered light refreshments in the Kishwaukee College Conference Center dining rooms.

Reduction/recyling grants available Schools, churches, businesses are all eligible to apply By Reita Nicholson Administrative Assistant Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department Does your organization want to go “green” and help to keep refuse out of the landfill? The Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department (OCSWMD) is announcing the second round of Waste Reduction/ Recycling Grants for 2015. The grants of up to $2,000 are available to Ogle County businesses, schools, municipalities, churches, scout groups, and non-profit organizations wishing to establish or improve on waste reduction and recycling programs and services. Applicants must provide

a 20 percent match of the total project cost and the deadline for the next round of applications is July 10. Based on results from the most recent county recycling survey, Ogle County recycled approximately 33 percent of waste generated. This is a good starting point, but more can be done to reduce waste and recycle more in Ogle County. A recycling grant can help. The application for the grant is simple and flexible. Businesses could use grant funds to help purchase waste reduction and recycling materials and equipment, such as collection bins, carts, balers, storage containers, reusable packaging systems, sustainable food packaging, or educational materials that help promote recycling and waste reduction in the workplace. Schools may seek funds for special projects that will further

a student’s understanding of how to reduce the amount of trash sent to the landfill. The requests may be for materials and equipment, such as recycling bins/ carts, videos, books, worm bins, composters, or a dishwasher so disposable plastic ware and Styrofoam trays can be replaced with reusable silverware and plastic trays. Municipalities seeking to improve curbside, multifamily, or commercial recycling are encouraged to apply, as well as park districts looking to provide recycling opportunities for park users. These examples are not all inclusive and applicants are encouraged to find new and innovative ways to reduce the amount of waste and increase what is recycled. The grants may not be used for ongoing expenses, such as staffing, collection, and hauling costs. Priority will be

given to new applicants. All applications received will be reviewed by OCSWMD staff and the Ogle County Board Solid Waste Committee. Grants will be evaluated on the following criteria: management ability, project quality, project impact;, realistic goals and expectations, accuracy of application, educational potential, use of recycled content product when available, potential for waste stream diversion, and future continuity of the project. The next deadline is July 10 and applications will be reviewed, scored, and acted on by the Solid Waste Committee by the end of July. For more information or to request an application, call the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department at 815-732-4020 or visit www. oglecounty.org.

The district will host an open registration day on Thursday, July 30 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. The open registration will be held in the library in the Etnyre Wing at Oregon Elementary School.

Public Voice Artist enjoyed her years with Fields Project Dear People of the (former) Fields Project and Community Members of Ogle County, Please consider this a letter to say “Hello. I am doing fine.” But, you must know that my experiences, in your county and its peoples, are deeply embedded in my life and creative endeavors. My “Junes” are just not the same. For eight years (nine?) I was a visiting artist with The Fields Project. I kept time with June. I wrapped my year around June and the 10 days with many of you.

You melded the arts and agriculture in a way that brought culture into the “agri.” I stayed with six different families in those eight years and each family was accommodating, curious, and welcoming. In fact, I was as curious about them as they were about me. It made us all wonder who was the observer. Who was the observed. I kept time with June as a farmer may keep time with the seasons. June and The Fields Project was my entree into summer. Now, summer unfolds as it may, rather unceremoniously. As I write, it is nearly July and I have had three mini trips to the environs of Ogle County. Consider it my fix

for big sky, agrarian views, and renewing relationships with past hosts (off of Facebook!). My experiences with the Fields Project have meant so much over those eight years and will inform my work for the rest of my lifetime. I remember fondly Jennifer and Joe Warrenfeltz and my first Fields Project. The laughter and Jennifer’s incredible vegetable garden and a young couple, just starting out. I had to rename some past works from “silos” to “bins” thanks to their patience. My two Fields Project stays with Joan and Mike Pfeiffer were filled with laughter too along with an appreciation of generations farming on the same land and how that shifts one’s perspective of time and care taking of the land. I recall my two Fields Project stays with Ned and Lyrah Bushnell, their enthusiasm for soil conservation, beauty, and meals cooked with love. Ned’s deep understanding for the needs of healthy soil

My memorable stay with Larry and Aneda Ebert, while going through a huge personal transition, and their willingness to introduce me to a local family, to oust me out of bed early (still not so good at that!) and watch the sun rise through my created assemblage of discarded windows, on the summer solstice. That year was good for my soul and made me realize, again, that all things in this life are temporary and fleeting. Another year I stayed with Steve and Dixie Hammer, who were lovely hosts. My final year, with Gary and Judy Bocker, was quite the crescendo, staying in their newly built silo and Barnacopia! In Polo, farmers showed artists what it takes to create...from the ground up.

Advisor: Oregon, Mt. Morris, Byron should work together From A1 how important it is to have the local businesses involved with development. “It is critical,” said Sparrow. “You will all need to be together.” “How do you initiate?” said Golden. “You have a start,” said Sparrow. “Be inclusive and reach out. This is a great opportunity.” The state policies have restricted business growth in Illinois, however with the state being centrally located in the nation, there are still benefits for businesses to move to Illinois, he said. “Ogle County is a good magnet for business,” Sparrow said. He said there are railroads going through the county including the Burlington Northern Santa Fe line on the southern edge of Oregon. There is also an interstate highway on the east edge of the county and a tollway on the southern edge of the county.

Sparrow said the ECDC could use these assets to their advantage. He said suppliers for the major factories in Rochelle do not need to be located in that city, but close enough to easily ship materials they need. “Nippon Sharyo will need more distribution with access to Rochelle,” said Sparrow. “You need to be in a position to move.” In order to attract businesses, the ECDC can have everything organized and have facts ready to supply companies interested in the area, he said. “Take an inventory and see what you have,” said Sparrow. “What is the sewer capacity? What is the school capacity? You need to get a plan but fortunately you have capacity.” Mayor Ken Williams said the city is currently at 50 percent sewer and 33 percent water capacity. “You should also update

your community profile on DCEO,” said Sparrow. DCEO is the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. This is one resource companies have to quickly evaluate communities for potential development opportunities, he said. For retail, the big box stores may not be what is attracted to a smaller town. “You have the opportunity to attract other retail opportunities,” he said. “Mt. Morris is trying to get back on track. They had all their eggs in one basket.” Sparrow said since the publishing industry left Mt. Morris, the village has been economically impacted and is currently working on ways to bring development to that community. “If the big fish are available you want to compete, but you have Woods and Etnyre,” said Sparrow. “Focus on what you have, but you have opportunities. You can

attract residential, retail, and industry.” He said the ECDC should contact Woods Equipment

Company and E.D. Etnyre & Company to see if those companies have any insights into development

for the area that the committee could look into. “They may expand in the future,” Sparrow said.

LET FREEDOM RING

SECTION B

Thursday, July 9, 2015

Funny moments during contest By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com The two contestants for Little Mister Firecracker provided some of the funniest moments last week at the Let Freedom Ring festival. Each contestant went on stage July 1 and were asked basic questions. Up first was Elijah Calhan, age 5, with the question “How old are you?” “Sixteen,” he replied and which received laughs from the audience. He then performed part of the song “Let It Go.” Cameron Rogers had two answers that got the crowd laughing. His first question was “Who is your favorite cartoon character?” Without hesitation Cameron answered. “Mom,” he said. His father Kevin, and grandparents were laughing at the answer. His mom’s name is Julie. The second question he was asked was “What do you want to be when you grow up?” To this, Cameron also had an easy answer. “Cameron,” he said. He finished by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance for the crowd. Cameron was named the Little Mister Firecracker and

Elijah was the runner up. For the girls Aaliyah Kahly, age 4, had two funny moments during the competition. First she was asked “What do you want to be when you grow up?” “In kindergarten,” Aaliyah said. Then while waiting for the results of the competition, she was playing with her name tag and tried placing the name tag over her face. Aaliyah was eventually named the Little Miss Firecracker. Runner up was Alazhia Lucas age 3, who sang “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” Following the Little Miss and Mister Firecracker competition, the Let Freedom Ring Queen Contest began. Paige Carlock was escorted to the stage by her uncle Rob Morrow.

Mini-camp for youth football players ready to begin July 13 A free mini-camp for those interested in youth football in the Oregon area is being offered by John Bothe, Oregon High School’s varsity football coach. The Oregon-Mt. Morris Junior Tackle Mini Iron Hawks camp will be held July 13, 15, 21, 20, and 22

from 4-4:30 p.m. on the OHS practice fields. The workouts are intended to help junior tackle players prepare for their season,” said Bothe. The workouts include warm-up, speed and agility work, and an introduction to football fundamentals.

Participants will need to bring their own shorts, t-shirt, and football shoes. There is no cost for the workouts. Participants can attend any or all workouts even if they are not junior tackle players. For more information, contact Bothe at 815-994-8530.

Youth tackle registration July 19 John Karavitis, who organized the Rugged River Run, describes the four mile trail course at Lowden State Park for participants. Photo by Sarah Zuniga.

Rugged River run held July 5 From A9 Karavitis put his own time and money into the event. He hired an ambulance service, a security firm, and a professional timer to assist with the race. No one sponsored the race, and Karavitis was unable to find volunteers to help. “The issue wasn’t to make money. The issue was to keep the course alive,” said Karavitis. “There was this long, arduous process of calling people, harassing people, asking them dumb questions again and again, until finally I was able to put together a picture of what it would take to actually do this.” Karavitis sought help from

Amy Trimble, a member of the former Oregon Trail Days Committee, and current Oregon Mayor Ken Williams, who was also a Trail Days member. Karavitis said both were great sources of information. Despite the effort put into the event, turnout was low for the race. “This has not been perfect,” said Karavitis. “Obviously the turnout is low. Last year they had like 140 people, this year we have 18 people.” “This is a great park. It’s really beautiful. It’s a great course; it’s very challenging, but it’s do-able. It’s not impossible,” said Karavitis. “I mean, I’ve got these guys going up and down the stairs, which didn’t happen last

year.” Rhys Grealish, 16, Avon, Indiana, was the first to start the race and the first to finish, with a time of 32 minutes and 50 seconds. “It was very hard and the staircase kind of threw me for a loop,” said Grealish. “I didn’t expect there to a be a staircase until early this morning, and all the hills kind of threw me for a loop the first mile.” Grealish runs varsity track at his high school in Indiana. “I plan on being here next year,” said Karavitis. He is marking July 17 as a potential date, with intentions of picking a date away from Fourth of July weekend to help improve the turnout.

was deafening. That’s a true story and Rowdy sent me the picture to prove it. I’ll post it to Sunset’ Facebook page sometime soon. Sunset loses more great friends. This part of Sunset Happenings is never fun for me. Everett Kested, Everette Henderson and William ‘Ole’ Hiteman all members of Sunset passed away since my last Sunset Happenings. Actually, to say that they

were Sunset members is an understatement. Their contributions to our club and course and their love of golf and Sunset will be greatly missed. Sunset and its members share our deepest sympathy with the families of Everett, Everette and Ole during these difficult days.

Only one outside contributor to my request for Old Home Week Stories. My guess is that there are many that you thought of but were afraid they’d be unpublishable. I remember a few from my days and I’ll do my best to tell the story that was sent to me. If you knew Mike Fletcher

well, then you knew how much he enjoyed the game of golf and how competitive he could get. We were on the same team one year and were fortunate enough to get into a playoff for fourth or fifth place. The stakes between those places were pretty great. We were on the eighth hole and the other team was laying two about 12 feet away from the cup for a birdie. We were about 25 feet from the hole and also shooting for a birdie and a tough putt. By a miracle I

was able to knock our ball in the hole, then Fletch took over. There was no way that the other team was going to make their putt with Fletch doing his best Earl Woods intimidation tactics. They never came close. Thanks for that memory Fletch, and remember… ”don’t ever ask a golfer how is game is going when he’s got cockleburs stuck to his socks.” Finally, this one is from my good friend and old golf partner Glenn Rowe.

After several years watching Brad Blake kill him with his short chip shots Rowdy snuck in an old wedge into Brad’s bag. While everyone was gathered around the clubhouse Rowdy wished Brad the best of luck and said; “but there was no way that you’re going to beat anyone this year with your wedge!” With that said, Rowdy went straight to Brad’s bag, pulled out the wedge, snapped it in two, and threw it on the ground. The silence

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations for Ogle County, Illinois and Incorporated Areas The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency has issued a preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where applicable, Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report, reflecting proposed flood hazard determinations within Ogle County, Illinois and Incorporated Areas.

Technical information or comments are solicited on the proposed flood hazard determinations shown on the preliminary FIRM and/or FIS report for Ogle County, Illinois and Incorporated Areas.

However, before these determinations are effective for floodplain management purposes, you will be provided an opportunity to appeal the proposed information. For information on the statutory 90-day period provided for appeals, as well as a complete listing of the communities affected and the locations where copies of the FIRM are available for review, please visit FEMA?s website at http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/bfe, or call the FEMA Map Information eXchange (FMIX) toll free at 1-877-FEMA-MAP (1-877336-2627).
