Council approves borrowing for water upgrades By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com
The Oregon City Council took the next step Tuesday to make upgrades to the city’s water system. The council unanimously agreed to borrow up to $4.5 million from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) through its Public Water Supply Loan Program. Public Property
Commissioner Jim Barnes said the city plans to clean and repaint both water reservoirs inside and out, and improve all three well houses to meet state requirements. He said the well house near the city hall will likely be torn down and a new larger one built. Additions will be built onto the other two. State requirements stipulate that water treatment chemicals must be kept in a separate room in the well houses, he said. Barnes said he is not yet sure
how much money the city will need, but estimated the cost at about $2.5 million. He said at least one of the reservoirs has not been cleaned and painted since the 1980s. After the meeting City Clerk Charlene Ruthe said city officials have not yet determined what effect the loan will have on water bills because the exact amount needed for the work has not yet been determined. Oregon residents can petition the city to put the
decision up to the voters. If 223 or 10 percent of the registered voters in the city sign a petition requesting it within a certain time period, the question of improving the public water supply system and entering into the loan agreement will be placed on the Nov. 8 ballot as a referendum. Petition forms will be available in Ruthe’s office at the city hall. Barnes said some sewer mains may also need to be
relined, but that work will likely not be scheduled until next year. In another matter, the council awarded the contract to Martin and Company to resurface and make repairs to Tenth Street and Hawk Drive. Mayor Ken Williams said the project will cost $267,000 less than $1.1 million originally estimated, mainly due to the current low cost of petroleum. Although sanitary sewer upgrades have begun for the project, street work will begin
Residents impacted by last year’s tornado turned out Saturday to remember the day, the recovery efforts, and to thank everyone who helped out. Homeowner Reuben Capen was one of the residents directly impacted by the storm. His home on Fowler Road by the Cherry Hill subdivision northwest of Rochelle was destroyed by the April 9, 2015 EF4 tornado. Capen and his wife Lilly were not home when the storm leveled their home. “We were in Rockford with family while it happened,” he said. “We received a call to let us know the house was gone. The couple lived in the home for 46 years and in an instant it was gone. However, the memories
they have of the home were spared. “I thank God that we recovered 85 percent of what money can’t buy,” said Capen. “Volunteers found old photo albums and other items. A refrigerator can be replaced.” Some of his wife’s instruments were also recovered, but the owner of a riding lawnmower that dropped on the property was not identified. Knowing memories are important to the family, Capen and his daughter started a scrapbook of the tornado cleanup. This scrapbook contained photos of the home before the storm and had a day by day account through the Rueben Capen holds a scrapbook of photos from damage last year’s tornado did rebuilding of the home. to his property.

New book details Oregon’s storied art legacy By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com An Oregon woman set out in 2013 to make a list of art works and ended up writing a detailed history of art in her community and its impact. “The goal was to do a catalog of the art in the gallery [at the Oregon Public Library],” said Beth Simeone. “That’s all it was supposed to be.” However, she said, once she started her research for the library on the art works and artists, it soon became apparent the project could not stop there. “I soon realized the story was far more,” Simeone said. “…The initial catalog grew into a broader survey of art and its influence in this community.” The result of three years of painstaking research is “The Art of Oregon,” a 180-page book filled with information and colorful illustrations,
reaching back to Margaret Fuller’s visit to Oregon in 1843 to the formation of the Eagle’s Nest Art Colony in 1892 to the creation of the iconic Black Hawk Statue in 1910-11. Photographs for the book were taken by Bob Logsdon, and the design was done by Colleen Logsdon. “It’s about telling the story that’s in this town,” Simeone said. “It’s right in front of us and it’s authentic.” Simeone’s research has revealed information either unknown or long forgotten about Oregon’s long artistic legacy and the artists themselves. One section of the book focuses on John Prasuhn, the young German sculptor and engineer who built the Black Hawk Statue envisioned by sculptor Lorado Taft. Included are letters Prasuhn wrote to his brother and sister in 1946 while he was making repairs on the statue.

in May, he said, after school is out for the summer. Tenth Street will remain open for local travel throughout construction, he said. “But if you’re just driving down 10th Street to get across town, you may want to go a different way,” Williams said.
The more Simeone uncovered, the more she became concerned that the history could easily be lost for good. “Soon it became clear that the art story of Oregon was much broader than the 1918 Eagle’s Nest Art Collection in the Oregon library gallery and that it must be told before the connecting threads disappeared,” she said. Simeone was impressed when she saw the dedicated community work, volunteerism and economic development “before they knew the word” done by early Oregon residents to promote the city as a destination. The back cover depicts a poster calling Oregon “an inimitable summer resort.” The promotion was developed by Oregon citizens working with the Burlington Railroad, Rand McNally Map Company, and the Palmer House in Chicago. “A lot of people

By Pam Eggemeier peggemeier@sauk valley.com A vision for the downtown to become an arts destination point came into focus during a three-day conference that wrapped up April 9 at Pinecrest Grove Community Center, Mt. Morris. The third session drew about 80 people who participated in smaller action planning sessions. Each group made presentations that included timelines, and who would be accountable for carrying out the plans. The vision of the arts fueling downtown revitalization and growth belongs to a former Mt. Morris resident. Artist Andria Thorngren Burchett, Geneva, has been a longtime believer in the potential of the Mt. Morris College campus. The buildings would become a rural artists retreat with studios, galleries, renowned guest instructors, and space for the visual and performing arts. A flourishing arts community would need the support of new businesses, from restaurants and brew pubs to bed and breakfasts and gift shops. Andria visits her hometown often, to see her 94-year-old father, and the vision continues to grow. “She’s had this dream for 10 years now, that the old campus can be revitalized as an arts center,” her husband Steve Burchett said. “She believes this can be the core for driving economic development.” Andria has made a believer of the village’s Economic Development Group, and she has been working closely with City Clerk Paula Diehl to make the vision a reality. The village had been planning the conference since November. “This was an ambitious undertaking because this project was launched with just volunteers,” said Rob Urish, chairman of the Economic Development Group. “We tried to put together diverse skill sets, and we’ve assembled a group of quality people.”

Business owners continue to fix cars with passion By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com Passion and caring are just two of the traits that have helped an Oregon business stay strong for the past 25 years. Tim and Kim Krug own and operate Mainstreet Machines at 103 Washington St. “If we would not put the part on our car or our kids car, we will not use it on a customers car,� said Kim. “Every car is treated with respect.� “When your safety is on the line, we only use the best parts for the repair,� said Tim. At Mainstreet Machines they only use original equipment that the manufacturer uses (OEM). “We use all OEM parts which allows us to repair
everything the right way, not just the cheapest way,� said Tim. “The work I do is needed to keep the car running safe for the customer.� The attention to detail with using quality parts is what keeps the customers returning for all their automotive needs. “Our client base sees the work we do and they continue to return because of the quality service we provide,� said Tim. All the work on the vehicles is performed by Tim. He performs all the maintenance work on vehicles while Kim answers the phones and ensures the shop has all the parts needed for the job. “If there was ever an issue with a repair, it is me, it is always me,� said Tim. “I make sure the repair is right and tight. I also guarantee
all the work that I perform because I know the parts I use are the best.� Corvettes may be spotted parked in front of the business on a summer day, but any vehicle can be service at Mainstreet Machines. “We do, do a lot of sports cars,� said Kim. “We are more than sports cars. We are a one stop shop for vehicle maintenance and repairs.� At Mainstreet Machines Tim does everything from routine service like oil changes and brakes to full collision repairs. “We can repair anything in house,� said Tim. “I have 33 years of experience working on cars.� When he first started in the automotive business he worked on European and Japanese import vehicles before transitioning to GM
and Ford vehicles. This background gave him exposure to any situation that might need fixing. “I have the equipment to service all new vehicles and I also know how to fix classic vehicles,� said Tim. Tim can even help customers with fixing carburetors. No matter what type of car is being serviced the customer is treated the same. “You can have a Chevy Cavalier or a Porsche, but one thing is the same, you will be treated with respect because for every car I think ‘what would I do with it if Mainstreet Machines owners Kim and Tim Krug with their dog Mia. Photo by Chris Johnson were my car,’� said Tim. The couple works Monday through Friday, but some Saturday service is available by appointment. They are never far from the shop since they built their home on the second floor. “We raised our children in Oregon and it is a nice city,� said Kim. “We are part of the city and want to help keep your car running safe.� To schedule service stop by the shop of give them a Tim Krug works on a car at Mainstreet Machines.

Book grew as stories emerged From A1 Florence (Pullman) Lowden, Taft, and many others in the 1890s. “It is a stunning economic development timeline that took place before the automobile,� she said. “The Heckmans and Lowdens put down roots here. Hundreds of people came with them. It changed the town.� Simeone also learned that many of the artists who came to Oregon and donated their work to the community were from rural, Midwestern backgrounds, and born around the time of the Civil War. A segment of the book titled “Cabbage Patch Odyssey� relates the theft of a valuable painting from the gallery. “The Cabbage Patch� by William Wendt was discovered missing in May of
1991. Thieves had removed the painting from its frame, left that behind on the floor, and took the painted canvas. It was anonymously returned by mail in 1994 and again hangs in the gallery back it in its original frame. A California art dealer admitted to having the painting and sending it back to Oregon. Although doing the research was timeconsuming and became “like a full-time job,� the project came naturally to Simeone. “I’ve always been interested in the history of Oregon and how this town evolved,� she said. Growing up she wanted to be an archaeologist, and said she enjoyed uncovering the information bit by bit. “I’ve so enjoyed doing the research and writing this book,� Simeone said. “It’s like finding clues and how
they relate and putting these things together. It’s satisfying to solve a mystery.� Her research was so successful that she has enough material for a second book. In recent weeks, Simeone has been putting together PowerPoint presentations for various community groups. “That’s been fun, too,� she said.
Order The Book
Donations for the cost of printing “The Art of Oregon� and orders for the books are currently being taken at the Oregon Public Library, 300 Jefferson St., Oregon. The books are $40 each. “It’s important to get this information out and to make it affordable,� said author Beth Simeone. A copy of the book can be seen at the library.
Town hall meeting scheduled A town hall meeting to discuss Oregon’s Comprehensive Plan will be held on Tuesday, April 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the Coliseum.

Republican Reporter Serving the Oregon area since 1851 The Oregon Republican Reporter is published weekly by Ogle County Newspapers, a division of the B.F. Shaw Printing Co., Shaw Media. The Oregon Republican Reporter was founded in 1851 as the Ogle County Reporter. In 1889, the Ogle County Republican, a competing newspaper, was started. In 1890, the Republican was sold to Ziba Landers. Upon his death in 1939, the newspaper was assumed by his son, Ernest D. In March 1951, Paul F. Behan, owner of the Reporter, and E.D. Landers and his son E.G. (Tim) Landers united the newspapers into the Republican Reporter. Ernest D. Landers died in 1966, and E.G. and Behan became partners. Eventually, E.G. Landers assumed sole ownership, and in 1985 he sold the newspaper to B.F. Shaw Printing, Dixon. Ogle County Newspapers also prints the Mt. Morris Times, Forreston Journal, and Polo’s Tri-County Press.

Spanish flu claimed nine from same family in 1920 Editor’s note: Otto Dick, Oregon, has researched the people, places, and events important in Oregon’s history for the Ogle County Historical Society. The following is one of a series of the articles he has written. By Otto Dick While researching the history of the families buried in the Oregon Riverside Cemetery, I was shocked when I learned about the terrible tragedy of the Erxleben family who lived on a farm near the German Church on the German Church Road. Nine from this household and their nurse passed away in 1920. The atlas revealed the father of this family, Henry Erxleben, owned two parcels of land containing 333 acres. While driving in this area I stopped at Allen Gale’s home located near the German Church Cemetery. He mentioned while he was working on the German Church Cemetery records he learned that six grave diggers were needed during this time span. The Farrell Funeral Records show they conducted 86 funerals in 1920. The following are Oregon Newspaper accounts of this tragedy. “Scourge Takes Heavy Toll, two succumb of influenza and several critically ill in family of Edward Erxleben east of Oregon”. “Desolation reigns in the home of Edward Erxleben, where both father and mother have succumbed to pneumonia within a period of a few days, and others of the family are ill with the same malady.” Three months later, another article stated that the “scourge takes parents, three children, aunt and nurse. The remaining three children are improving under hospital treatment.” “Saturday afternoon, a relief party from Oregon met at the stricken home an ambulance sleigh sent by relay teams, from the Rockford hospital. When the Oregon people reached the Erxleben home one of the boys was already dead and another dying. They were fine little fellows and the younger, then in the last paroxysm, admonished them to be sure and wrap his sisters and brother warm for

the trip to Rockford. He died shortly afterwards. Herman Erxleben, grandfather of the children and father of Miss Clara Erxleben, is ill in bed and took his last view of the face of his dead daughter, from the window of his room, as the funeral cortege left for the cemetery.” Nine from this household: Edward Erxleben Jan. 21, 1920 Mrs. Erxleben Jan. 25, 1920 Vivian Erxleben Jan 28, 1920 Elmer Erxleben Jan. 31, 1920 Lee Erxleben Jan 31, 1920 Clara Erxleben Jan. 31, 1920 Marie Erxleben Feb. 9, 1920 Joseph Bursing, farm hand Feb. 8, 1920 Mary Bursing, nurse It’s hard to understand that six members of this hardworking farm family died of the Spanish flu in the time span of 11 days. Clara is buried by her father Herman at Riverside Cemetery in Oregon. Nurse Mary and her brother Joseph Bursing, farm hand, are buried at St Mary’s
Cemetery located west of Oregon and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Erxleben and their five children are buried at Riverside Cemetery. Some stories are so intriguing it’s difficult to move on to another topic. I probably spent three days collecting information about this family. I drove to leads at Stillman Valley and Byron. I searched for their graves at Riverview, Riverside, Stillman Valley, and St. Mary’s Cemeteries. Kris Gilbert at the GIS Office provided information on the Erxleben plot at Riverview Cemetery. It was very interesting when I located the Erxleben

Artwork created on tornado anniversary From A1 which allowed us to get moved in only 40 days after the storm,” he said. “Without the volunteers we would not have gotten the property cleaned.” In the months following the storm, Capen was amazed by the generosity of strangers. He received cancelled checks that were swept away by the storm. Some were found in Wisconsin. “This lady that I did not know sent us the checks and included money to help with the rebuilding,” said Capen. “People have been generous and they all wanted to help.” Throughout the community event, stories were being
shared about the tornado and the community came together to remember. Tilton Elementary School teacher Nan Elson, was helping to oversee artwork being created by anyone who wanted to contribute a square to the project. “We decided to do a collaborative artwork piece to remember the tornado,” said Elson. “We made some at Tilton School and have the one being made today by the community.” She said this would be a way for the community to take part in the art. “All of our students either lost a home, had a damaged home, or had a friend who
lost a home,” said Elson. The completed piece of art will be saved and Elson said the school is looking at ways to preserve the piece. Sheriff Brian VanVickle also attended the event. “Today was a day to get together to thank everyone who was part of the recovery,” said VanVickle. “There was a lot of support from the community.” VanVickle’s home was also destroyed by the tornado.

Drop off old medications April 30 Local law enforcement departments, along with the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department and Project LEAD (Leaders Encouraging Abstinence from Drugs), are hosting a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Drug Take-Back Day on Saturday, April 30, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The national event aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of Chris Benda will be the featured speaker at the Prairie disposing prescription and Preservation Society banquet on May 1 at Lorado Taft over-the-counter (OTC) Field Campus. Photo supplied. drugs, while also educating the general public about the importance of properly disposing of medicines.
Botanist will be at annual banquet The Prairie Preservation Society will host its annual banquet on Sunday, May 1 at the Lorado Taft Field Campus, Oregon. Chris Benda, botanist and President of the Illinois Native Society, will give the program and show slides on Illinois’ unique natural areas and plants found in them. Emphasis will be on rare plants, but the program will also include photos of animals. The program will highlight eight of the 14 natural divisions in Illinois. Each natural division is unique and is characterized by the
plants that grow there. One of the natural divisions featured during the program will be the Rock River Hills Section, which includes Nachusa Grasslands, Pine Rock, and the George Fell Nature Preserve. Tickets are $25 each; children under 12 are half price. Books and native plants will be sold; a silent auction will also be held. It is open to members and to the general public. For more information on the program, or to donate to the auction, email lin.vogl@ gmail.com or phone 815973-4926.
Drop off locations include: Forreston Police Department 102 S. Walnut, Forreston, 815-938-2400 Mt. Morris Police Department 105 W. Lincoln St., Mt. Morris, 815-734-4132 Ogle County Sheriff and
Polo Police Department 116 S. Franklin St., Polo, 815-946-3412 Rochelle Police Department 416 N. 6th St., Rochelle, 815-561-2131. Participants must abide by the following guidelines: Waste medicine is accepted from residential households only. Prescriptions, OTC medicine, vitamins, cough syrup, supplements, and pet medications are accepted. Residents should remove pills from bottles and place them in a zip plastic bag. Pill bottles can be recycled through residential recycling programs. Remember to remove prescription labels or black out any personal information. Items which are not accepted include hypodermic needles (sharps),
thermometers, hydrogen peroxide, aerosol cans, inhalers, and medicines from business or clinics. There are two main initiatives behind the Drug Take-Back Day. One is to eliminate water contamination. Disposal of waste medications down the drain or toilet is undesirable because septic systems and facilities that treat wastewater may not be able to remove pollutants. Disposal of medications in a landfill is also undesirable because chemicals can end up in the landfill leachate (water that comes into contact with the trash). Pollution of treated wastewater can contaminate groundwater and surface water and can have adverse effects on fish and other aquatic life. It can also cause unintentional human exposure to chemicals from medications. The other initiative is to prevent abuse of medications. Often the easiest drugs to access are already in our
homes. The presumed safety of prescription and OTC drugs can often lead to devastating impacts as these substances are dangerous or deadly when misused. With drug overdose being the leading cause of accidental death and with alarming rates of prescription/OTC drug abuse, it is important to lock up or safely dispose of unneeded medications. While the DEA Take-Back day on April 30 is a one-day event, residents can safely dispose of medications year round during business hours at the following police departments: Byron, Forreston, Mt. Morris, Oregon, Polo, Rochelle, and the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department. Contact local law enforcement agency for more details. For more information call: Ogle County Sheriff’s Department, 815-732-6666; Ogle County Solid Waste Management, 815-7324020; Project LEAD, 815284-7796, ext. 2315; or visit www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov

Oregon Library News Celebrate National Library Week April 10-16 As part of the National Library Week celebration, Oregon Public Library cardholders may enter a book drawing for reading material checked out April 10 through April 23. A drawing will be held April 25. Come by the library to find out how. Oregon Public Library joins libraries in schools, campuses and communities nationwide in celebrating the dynamic changes that are happening in today’s libraries. The current renovations and installation of an elevator will enhance the services that are provided to patrons. More programs and programs will be available for readers of all ages. First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country. The week is a time to highlight the changing role of libraries, librarians and library workers. Libraries today are more about what they do, for and with library users as opposed to what they have for patrons. Libraries aren’t only a place of quiet study, but
also creative and engaging community centers where people can collaborate using new technologies or just relax. Libraries help to ensure the American dream and promote democracy by providing service to all regardless of race, ethnicity, creed, age, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity or socio-economic status. Libraries of all types are evolving to meet the needs of the communities they serve. 2016 Summer Reading Program Bookmark Contest The 2016 summer reading program theme is Read for the Win! Students in grades K-12 have created some wonderful bookmarks. All entries are on display at the library now, In May, bookmarks will be selected and duplicated to be distributed during the 2016 Summer Reading Program. Stop by the Library and take a look at more than 200 entries.

Man arrested following chase By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com A Rockford man remains in jail following a car chase last week. Ogle County Sheriff Deputies attempted to stop a grey 1998 Mercury in the 5000 block of North River Road, Byron, for a moving violation April 8 at 2:20 p.m.. Driver Tyrell Taylor, 28, fled from the scene. He led deputies on a chase on several rural roads before returning north on River Road. “The decision to pursue is based on several circumstances,” said Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle. “We determined it was safe to continue this pursuit.” Throughout the pursuit deputies relayed traffic information to ensure a safe pursuit, VanVickle said. The Byron Police Department deployed stop sticks at the intersection of River Road and German Church Roads. Taylor’s vehicle struck the stop sticks and became inoperable. His vehicle came to rest in the south east ditch
of that intersection. Taylor then fled on foot. Deputies continued the chase and Deputy Michael Halfman took Taylor into custody in the 7000 block of German Church Road, Byron. “The suspect was arrested without injury to other motorists,” VanVickle said. Taylor was charged with 19 traffic violations including driving on a revoked license, aggravated fleeing and eluding, leaving the scene of an accident, and reckless driving. He was transported to The former building of SwedishAmerican’s clinic in Byron was torn down on April 7.

The Byron Police Department and Byron Fire Department responded to the 100 block of South Union, near the Mobil gas station, for the report of a car versus pedestrian on March 29 at approximately 3:46 p.m. A 13 year-old male was found to have been struck by a car traveling northbound. The juvenile was transported by Byron Ambulance to Swedish American Hospital for injuries sustained. It was determined by investigating officers that the juvenile was running from the area of Snyder’s parking lot to the area of the Mobil parking lot. He ran across the Union
Street between stopped cars in the northbound turn lane and was then struck by a northbound car. The driver of the car was found not to be at fault. The Byron Police Department reminds parents to talk with their children about the importance of how to safely cross a street as a pedestrian or bicyclist. Pedestrians are ultimately responsible for their own safety. Even though a car poses a much greater threat to a pedestrian than a pedestrian does to a car, pedestrians still need to make good choices about walking to avoid

Byron Police Department responds to car versus pedestrian accident conflicts with vehicles. Pedestrians are reminded not to jump out in front of cars or enter the roadway between stopped or parked cars, where they are less visible to oncoming drivers. Always cross the street at an intersection using a cross walk when the light is green or when the pedestrian “WALK” signal is lit. Pedestrian Safety Guidelines Use sidewalks where provided. Cross or enter streets where it is legal to do so. Make it easy for drivers to see you, dress in light colors and wear reflective materials.
if walking at night use an illumination device. Make eye contact with drivers before crossing to be sure they see you. Use extra caution when crossing multiple lane, higher speed streets. Cross at marked crosswalks or intersections. Pedestrians are most often hit by cars when they cross the road at places other than intersections. Look Left, Right and Left for traffic. Stop at the curb and look left, right and left again for traffic. Stopping at the curb will alert drivers of pedestrians crossing the street. Always obey traffic signals.
At intersections where traffic is controlled by signals or a police officer, pedestrians must obey the signal. The should not cross against the stop signal unless specifically directed to do so by a police officer. If a car is parked where you are crossing make sure there is no driver in the car. Then go to the edge of the car and look left, right, left until no cars are coming. Keep looking for cars while you are crossing. Be alert, especially at right turn on red intersections. Traffic Signals, Walklights, and Crossings Pedestrians must yield
the right-of-way to drivers by obeying traffic signals, observing walk lights and using crosswalks. The pedestrian signals are: Walk (constantly lighted): Pedestrians facing the signal may cross the roadway in the direction of the signal. Don’t Walk (Flashing): Pedestrians may not start entering the roadway. Any pedestrian who has partly completed his cross during the constantly lighted WALK may continue to a sidewalk or safety island. Don’t Walk (constantly lighted): Pedestrians may not enter the roadway.

Source Water Assessment
We want our valued customers to be informed about their water quality. If you would like to learn more, please feel welcome to attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. The source water assessment for our supply has been completed by the Illinois EPA. If you would like a copy of this information, please stop by City Hall or call our water operator at _(815) 440-0192__. To view a summary version of the completed Source Water Assessments, including: Importance of Source Water; Susceptibility to Contamination Determination; and documentation/recommendation of Source Water Protection Efforts, you may access the Illinois EPA website at http://www.epa.state.il.us/cgi-bin/wp/swap-fact-sheets.pl.
Source of Water: POLO Based on information obtained in a Well Site Survey published in 1994 by the Illinois EPA, several potential sources are located within 1,500 feet of the wells.The Illinois EPA has determined that the Polo Community Water Supply's source water is not suspectibile to contamination. This determination is based on a number of criteria including; monitoring conducted at the wells; monitoring conducted at the entry point to the distribution system; and available hydrogeologic data on the wells.Furthermore, in anticipation of the U.S. EPA's proposed Ground Water Rule, the Illinois EPA has determined that the Polo Community Water Supply is not vulnerable to viral contamination. This determination is based upon the evaluation of the following criteria during the Vulnerability Waiver Process: the community's wells are properly constructed with sound integrity and proper siting conditions; a hydraulic barrier exists which should prevent pathogen movement; all potential routes and sanitary defects have been mitigated such that the source water is adequately protected; monitoring data did not indicate a history of disease outbreak; and the sanitary survey of the water supply did not indicate a viral contamination threat. Because the community's wells are constructed in a confined aquifer, which should prevent the movement of pathogens into the wells, well hydraulics were not considered to be a significant factor in the susceptibility determination. Hence, well hydraulics were not evaluated for this system ground water supply.

Rock River. The possible contamination of the groundwater could affect the well water quality for anyone living near this facility as some of these wells are very old. I grew up on the farm located directly across from this proposed business. On our family’s property we are enjoying beaver colonies. Their interactions in the wetlands help preserve and promote the ecosystem. This needs to be protected. Fifty- five out of 65 of the closest neighbors don’t want this permit to be issued. That’s about 85 percent against it. If this permit were to be denied, the applicant will be able to put their business on a more suitable piece of property with no objections, the seller will still be able to sell his property, as there are other interested buyers, and the nature of the wetlands will be protected. I would encourage anyone who agrees that this special use permit should not be issued to contact the Ogle County Board members to voice their concern. This application will be voted on April 19, and it really needs to be voted down. Visit the county’s user friendly website at www. oglecounty.org for a list of board members and a transcript of the Zoning Board of Appeals March minutes. Respectfully submitted, Wendie Huber Dixon
Why Bernie’s doing well Dear Editor, Bernie Sanders? He has very little backing from big banks and the corporate world. Why has he done so well? The following statistics may explain why. Among the 34 wealthy nation members of OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development), the U.S. ranks 31st, very near the bottom, in equal distribution of wealth. In 2010 the bottom 80 percent of U.S. citizens owned only 4.7 percent of financial wealth (excluding homes). We are the only OECD nation that does not provide medical care for everyone. Yet we have 42 percent of the world’s millionaires and 49 percent of those worth 50 million or more. The combined retirement packages of 100 US CEOs are equal to the combined retirement benefits and savings of 129 million retirees (Center for Effective Government and the Institute for Policy Studies). Yet conservatives want to cut Social Security benefits and raise the eligibility age. In 2011 there were 33 jobs, including food service workers, that paid 22 thousand or less annually. Imagine paying for health and dental care, and sending the kids to college on those incomes. Those low paying jobs have to be filled by someone; unless, for example, we would rather wash our own dishes at the restaurant and clean our own rooms at the hotel. The “trickle down” effect of Reaganomics has never really happened. Instead of sharing profits, big corporations controlled the government through lobbyists, dodged taxes with off-shore tax havens, and rewarded management with stocks and tax-free merit pay. Bernie Sanders is saying that government must allow business the freedom to prosper, but it must also see that their prosperity is shared. Millions of voters seem to be agreeing.

Lady Hawks finish seventh at April 9 relays event By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com It was domination by three teams from the NIC-10 conference at the girls portion of the 40th Annual GebhardtWorley Invitational. Belvidere North and Harlem, who competed as 3A teams last year finished first and second with 162 and 159 points. Freeport and ErieProphetstown, both 2A, took third and fourth. Oregon placed seventh out of the eight teams with 23 points, but within six points of Genoa-Kingston and Rockford Christian. “The competition was good,” said coach Nick Schneiderman. “I liked it and I think the girls liked being able to compete against other schools even if they were NIC 10 schools, it was nice to see new faces and good competition.” The top performance for the Lady Hawks came from Kenzie Skoumal in the sprints. In the 200 meters, Skoumal took second to sophomore Sabrina Elder of Belvidere North, a 3A state qualifier last year. Elder had a time of 26.86 to 27.71 for Skoumal. In the 100, Skoumal took third with a 13.29 clocking in the chilly conditions on Saturday. “Skoumal is running really well right now. I thought her times in the 100 and 200 considering the conditions of the meet were really good for early April
and hopefully she can keep chipping away at her times as the season progresses,” said Schneiderman. In the 400-meter relay, Abigail Hopkins, Gylian Finch, Christina Trachina and Skoumal finished third behind the three NIC-10 schools with a 54.18. In the 3,200 relay they were fifth. The freshman Hopkins had a good showing in the 300 hurdles, placing fifth (54.79) in some tough competition. That was Oregon’s only other individual place finish besides Skoumal’s. In the 3,200 relay, Abby Newman, Morgan Miraglia, Bianca Ruchti and Alessia Mattera ran 12:08 for another fifth place. On Monday, the girls finished second out of seven teams at the Polo-Forreston meet. Lena-Winslow won the meet with 123, followed by the Lady Hawks with 115. It was Skoumal and Hopkins leading the way again. Skoumal won the 100 with a time of 14.12 and took second in the 200.

Hawks win 2016 Gebhardt-Worley Invitational By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com It was a case of the sum of the parts being superior to individual star power, as Oregon’s boys track and field team won the 11team Gebhardt-Worley Invitational on April 9. In the closest finish in the 40-year history of the meet, the Hawks scored 93 points to edge Erie-Prophetstown and Dixon, who tied for second with 92. Polo-Forreston was next with 81 and Rockford Christian had 74 in one of the best fields the meet has seen in decades. Oregon trailed E-P and Dixon going into the final event of the meet and had only one first place up to that point compared to the four each for E-P, Dixon and P-F. Fittingly, it was a balanced 1,600-meter relay of Carson Buck, Mitchell Nehrkorn, Caleb Mennen, and Andrew Newman that won that final event. “It was great the way they gutted it out,” Oregon coach Jim Spratt said. Dixon took a 15-meter lead of on the first leg, but Nehrkorn chased down Nate Gascoigne on lap two and handed off to Mennen a stride behind the Dukes. Kandras Martin barely held off Mennen and gave Jared Harrison a 5-meter lead going into the anchor. But, it was Newman, younger brother of Garrett Newman, who anchored Oregon to a
1,600 relay state title in 2013, who out-kicked Harrison on the last straightaway for a 3:36 to 3:39 win. “That race exemplified how we performed today,” Spratt said. “We had good positioning and different people scoring everywhere.” E-P needed only third place to win the meet, but Lena-Winslow nipped them 3:39 to 3:40. P-F, which has designs on a state title in the 1,600 relay, was close behind at 3:41. “Last year, we ran a 3:45 at this time of year and ended up running 3:25 downstate,” P-F coach Ryan Deets said. “In such a competitive meet as this, these were some great times.” The 3:36 by Oregon ranks near the top of 1A DyeStatIL rankings and one of many standout performances on a chilly day at LandersLoomis Field. “This meet keeps getting better and better,” said Spratt. “For this early in the year, you’re seeing some of the best track in this part of the state.” In the showcase events of the meet, it was returning 2A state placers Dylan Binion of E-P and sophomore sensation Deion McShane of Freeport going at it in the hurdles. In a near repeat of the state meet in which he took fourth and McShane fifth the 110 highs, Binion won again, this time by a 15.25-15.53 margin. “He got out on me and we were side-by-side until he hit
Oregon’s Connor Hopkins clears the bar in the pole vault during the 40th Annual Gebhardt Worley Invitational on April 9. Photo by Earleen Hinton
a hurdle,” Binion said. “That allowed me to get ahead.” In the 300 intermediates, McShane, who ran a blistering 37.43 as state runner-up, easily bested Binion by nearly two seconds. “He’s great competition. I look forward to seeing him at the sectional,” McShane said. “The 300 is more my race. My goal is to break the state record (36.77).” So competitive was the race that returning 1A state place, Konner Wilson of
Oregon, settled for third and state qualifier AJ Christensen of P-F took fifth. McShane and Dixon’s Nyrel Sullivan had quite a dual in the long jump, with Sullivan popping a PR of 21foot-11 to win by two inches. In the high jump, Kyle LeBlanc of Dixon and Quinn Halverson of Rockford Christian both went 6-4, but LeBlanc won on fewer misses. Brad Cavanaugh, a 1A state finalist was fourth. The meet’s only individual double winner was Polo’s
Brooks Grobe. The sprinter had an 11.55 to beat secondplace Arthur Cox (11.70) of Dixon in the 100. In the 200, Grobe took out another Duke, running 23.49 to edge Sullivan by .10, with Wilson of Oregon taking third at 23.84. “I came in wanting four firsts,” Grobe said. “I’ll settle for three, which is pretty good considering how many bigger schools are here.” Grobe was part of the Marco 400 relay with Cavanaugh, Christensen and
Gavin Fuchs, who took third in the 100, that smoked the field with a 44.06 clocking. That time would have placed seventh in the 1A state finals last year. “Our relays were really impressive and I’m so happy for Brooks for the way he’s come back from battling a lot of different (medical) things,” Deets said. Joe Bowers joined Fuchs, Cavanaugh and Grobe in picking up second in the 800 Turn to B2
Oregon scores 10 in sixth inning to win A 10-run rally in the bottom of the sixth inning propelled the Lady Hawks past Harvard 11-4 in high school softball action at Oregon Park West on April 9. Oregon was trailing 2-1 when Emily Perkins smacked a single to center field to start the sixth inning for the Lady Hawks. Perkins stole second base setting the table for Ally Bartling who responded with a double to tie the game at 2-2 with no outs. The Lady Hawks loaded the bases scoring another run on a fielder’s choice to make it 3-2, Anni Wilson broke the game open when she cranked a double making the score 5-2. Oregon added six more runs en route to the win. Bella Holley led Oregon with five RBIs on four hits which included two doubles.
Bre Bicksler and Bartling had three hits each and Perkins had two. Oregon 13, Lutheran 3 Bella Holley doubled twice and drove in three runs to lead the Oregon to a 13-3 victory against Rockford Lutheran on April 5 at Oregon Park West. Bre Bicksler collected three hits and two runs batted in, while Ally Bartling, Hailey White and Anni Wilson each had two RBIs. Emily Perkins was the winning pitcher, allowing two earned runs and three hits in four innings.

Hawks struggle with weather, Cardinals’ hitting By Cody Cutter ccutter@saukvalley.com As temperatures plummeted and the forecast for rain imminent, the Oregon Hawks and Stillman Valley Cardinals chose to wait it out and fight throughrough conditions at the Oregon High School baseball diamond on April 5. Such a situation isn’t a pleasant one for starting pitchers, but the Cardinals’ Jack Riley and the Hawks’ Jensen Melville became comfortable when the rain drops dissipated. Unfortunately for Melville and the Hawks, the Cardinals had a keen eye on the ball in the first inning. They plated a pair of runs by taking advantage of control issues, and later swung the bats hard in an 11-0 Hawks’ loss. Melville struggled with
his mechanics and issued four walks and beaned one more in the first inning — two of the walks came with bases loaded. However, Melville ended the rough start with the first of eight strikeouts over five-andone-third innings. Over the following four innings, Melville allowed just five base runners. “I was a little amped up, and just trying to throw the ball as hard as I could,” Melville said. “That wasn’t the best thing to do right there in that situation.” The wet conditions denied Melville the use of his breaking ball. “You can’t throw as many breaking balls,” Melville said. “You can’t rely on breaking pitches as much, because you won’t get as much grip on the ball.” Riley had little issue with the Hawks offense, allowing

three hits and one walk in six innings. Oregon’s best offensive chance came in the fifth inning when Ross
Hulvey and Austin Wilson singled to put runners on the corners. With two out, Trey Wilson hit a soft ground
ball to Cardinals third baseman Johan Anderson, and the throw to first barely managed to make it on time to preserve the shutout. “My pitches were going good,” Riley said. “I was keeping the ball down. Our defense was playing well. It was a good outing. We came out in the cold and played well. It was a good win.” Riley is no stranger to pitching in adverse conditions, having kept his hands warm by sitting on them through his coat pockets and a pair of hand warmers. “You just got to make sure you get really warm, especially on days like today,” Riley said. “[Oregon] had to play in it too, so it wasn’t just us out here. You got to prepare and make sure you stay warm every inning, and keep your hands warm on a day like today.”
Pinch hitter Izaac Herbia started a sixth-inning rally with a single off Melville – who was relieved with one out and his team trailing 5-0. Reliever Cole Burke couldn’t quell the rally as the Cardinals (4-4, 1-1 Big Northern West) tacked on six runs in the inning, and two more in the seventh. Burke had the only other hit for the Hawks (2-5, 1-2): a one-out single in the third. “We played really well for five innings,” Oregon coach David Boyer said. “That sixth inning, everything kind of imploded on us. Melville pitched a great game and was keeping them off-balance. He did a great job. “We just didn’t get the bats going. [Riley] did a good job establishing his fastball and going to his secondary pitches. He did a good job with his command and kept us off-balance.”

From B1 relay (1:33) to Dixon (1:32). P-F’s Preston Stapleton, a state triple jump qualifier who moved away last summer, returned to Polo this past semester and returned where he left up with a PR of 41- feet to win the triple. “I’m so happy he’s back with us. He’s so beneficial as a leader,” Deets said. Besides the 1,600 relay, Oregon got a win from Kole Mowry in the discus with a toss of 140 feet. The discus was Oregon’s best scoring event, as John Ghibellini was second and Sawyer Foss fifth. Another key point-maker was the 400 with Buck and Nehrkorn going 2-4, sandwiched around freshman
Cailean Davis of P-F.. The difference for us today was there were very few events that we didn’t pile up points in,” Spratt said. “I like this team and am excited about the rest of the season.” Sophomore Ian Hussung put in a full days work with a second place in the 1,600, fifth in the 800 and running the fastest split on the second-place 3,200. “If we keep this up, I think we can get that relay on the podium at Charleston,” said distance coach Dave Hanes.

sporting events, sometimes the motives are questionable. Was it because an administrator or coach didn’t want to mess with it and cold weather is an easy excuse to call it off? Genoa-Kingston athletic director Phil Jerbi joined the conversation with Moore and myself and cautioned that it isn’t as simple as it seems. “As an administrator, it is a big burden to bear,” said Jerbi, who like Lawton is very dedicated to his job. “It can be a crapshoot with weather forecasts, winter travel, distances and field conditions.” This year, G-K chose not to play a basketball tournament game because of road conditions. Winnebago did the same at the DeKalb tourney and received a forfeit. “Ultimately, you do what is best for the kids,” Jerbi said. “If a team doesn’t come, you can’t judge them. It works both ways”
Coincidentally, because of the perceived cold conditions, four of the 12 track teams entered at the meet in Mendota had indicated they would not be coming if the meet were held. That may have been added incentive for meet officials on the bubble to cancel it. If a coach thinks it may be harmful for his or her athletes to compete in the cold, indeed that is their business and as Jerbi says, they should not be judged on it. However, the kids scheduled to compete at Mendota and Kaneland lost out on a wonderful opportunity to challenge themselves. That’s not an opinion either. It’s a fact-based comment after seeing tremendous competition from 11:30 am to nearly 6:00 pm at LandersLoomis Field on Saturday in 40-degree weather by the full contingent of all 19 schools entered.

Cold temps? So what, play on! By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com The Polo-Forreston track team was hungry for a meet and thankfully for them and several other teams at Saturday’s Gebhardt-Worley Invitational, Oregon athletic director Mike Lawton delivered. “I’m extremely happy to be here and so are our kids,” PoloForreston coach Ryan Deets said. “They’re disappointed any time a meet is cancelled.” In the face of near freezing temperatures and other area track meets being cancelled, such as invitationals at Kaneland and Mendota, Lawton stood up and did what was right and held an outdoor sports event in chilly
Sports Column conditions. Rockford Christian coach Randy Moore was even more effusive in his praise of how the situation was handled. “Kudos to Oregon for being who they are,” Moore said. “They’ve always been always been the leader in hosting meets and not backing down because of weather.” Moore is concerned that administrators too often call events off because of the perceived discomfort it would cause young athletes. “Kids need adversity to build character,” Moore said. “We rob them of this experience when we decides athletic contests are going to be cancelled because it is too cold, too hot, too windy or too wet.” I agree 100 percent with coach Moore about how misguided we’ve become in attempting to shield our youth from any sort of difficulty. Is
it any wonder that employers complain about the work ethic of the younger generation? Sadly, I recall a conversation with a BNC cross-country coach who cited liability concerns when a meet was cancelled because of the heat. What if a kid passes out and we could get sued, he posed. We are worst than past generations in how we handle pain. Society tells us to avoid at all costs (safety measures, over-medication, security, inactivity, litigation) or seek out only experiences that give us pleasure. Greedy lawyers and their unending stream of lawsuits, the ‘blow everything out of proportion’ media and insurance company constraints have served only to create a culture of fear. Yes, we may endure suffering taking risks, but it is from that pain and suffering where growth is found, via
perseverance, character and endurance. A wise person once said that pain is the touchstone of spiritual growth. Amen to that. As a high schooler, Moore still has fond memories of competing at the Hawk Classic in 1994 in the snow. “We still ran and I loved it,” Moore said. “When I was at Augie, we shoveled snow off the track to have a meet.” Another factor in all this was Lawton’s willingness to sacrifice his own time and comfort for the sake of others. It would have been much easier for him to cancel the meet and stay home with his family and maybe watch reruns of old Northwestern football games in the warmth of a living room. “We’re fortunate to have someone like Mike here who has such a passion for his job,” Oregon superintendent Tom Mahoney said.

James Eugene Samsel, 85, Raleigh, North Carolina, died on Wednesday, April 6, 2016 at Transitions Life Care in Raleigh. He was born on June 24, 1930 in Rockford, the son of the late Daniel Maurice and Ethel Shaw Samsel. He grew up in Mt. Morris, a community founded by members of the Church of the Brethren from western Maryland and Pennsylvania. He was captain of his high school football team during his senior year. Jim attended Notre Dame University for one year where he was a member of Alpha Tau Omega (ATO) fraternity. Jim then transferred to Monmouth College where he played football and was very active in Greek life. Feeling the need to defend his country, Jim enlisted in the Navy and trained in San Diego, California. He was assigned to a destroyer escort where he served for more than four years. His destroyer escort was the main electrical supply for a fighting Marine force, and his ship took fire multiple times from enemies in the high mountains of Korea. After leaving the military, Jim earned two bachelor of science degrees in Electrical Engineering and Business Administration from the University of Colorado at Boulder. To support his growing family Jim worked on the Nike Missile as a military contractor before returning to UC-Boulder earning his master’s degree in Electrical Engineering. Jim worked for Western Electric now known as Lucent Industries in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. There he was offered the rare opportunity to further his training in the Shetland Islands, but chose to remain
County Record with his family. He joined General Electric in Massachusetts, later Henderson, North Carolina, and finally to his home state in Bloomington, Illinois and finished his career in engineering. Jim was married to Melinda Cameron Fox on Nov. 10, 1956 and was married for 37 years prior to her passing. After retirement, Jim moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, and put his business training into action, co-founding a residential cleaning business, MaidsIn-Waiting with his wife and partner Melinda. Jim retired from his second career in 1998. Jim was a very talented musician, participating in two Highland pipe bands, the Morton Highlanders Pipe Band in Peoria, and the NC State Pipes and Drums in Raleigh, North Carolina, for more than 25 years. Jim and Melinda immersed themselves in their Scottish heritage, often traveling to Scotland and the Chief of Clan Cameron. They were active and served as officers in Clan Shaw, Clan Cameron, and other Scottish organizations. Jim was a member of the St. Andrews Society of North Carolina, twice serving on the board of directors. He was a lifetime member of VFW post 7383 in Cary, North Carolina, and served six years as chaplain. He was also an active member of the Cary American Legion Post 67. Jim served as a volunteer at Church of the Good Shepherd Soup Kitchen for more than 25 years and served as the Tuesday afternoon volunteer for many years. Jim was also an active volunteer for Meals on Wheels in Raleigh, North Carolina. Jim is survived by Martha Anne Roberts, whom he married on June 10, 2000.
He is also survived by his children, Melinda Shaw (Kenneth) Gleason, Verona, Wisconsin., Patrick Cameron (Martha) Samsel, Lansing, Michigan; his grandchildren, Cameron (CJ), Elizabeth (fiancé Jarrod Brooks) and Ian Samsel, all of Lansing, Michigan; as well as two beloved great- grandsons Zachary and Justin. He is also survived by his sister, Carol (Louis) Hayes, Missoula, Montana; nephew, Douglas; niece, Kristin (Michael Figone) Hayes; and great-niece, Hayley and great-nephew, Connor; sister-in-law, Barbara; along with nephew, Mark; niece, Sherry Egan; great-nephew, Nathan; and great-niece, Taylor; as well as by his step-daughter, Carlton Anne Cook (Stephen) Walker; and granddaughter, Anna Catherine, Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania. Jim was preceded in death by his brother, Gary Samsel, Oregon. A memorial service was held on April 11 at Church of the Good Shepherd, Raleigh, North Carolina. Arrangements were completed by Brown Wynne Funeral Home , Raleigh, North Carolina. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions can be made to James E. Samsel Endowed Scholarship at Montgomery County Community College, Troy, NC. Condolences may be sent to www.brownwynne.com.

Public Voice From A8
Floski disputes teachers union Dear Editor, The Byron teacher’s union recently made several false statements, and the Byron Board of Education would like to correct the record: - The union claims the BOE “underfunds” education spending. The BOE has increased the amount spent on instruction (teacher salaries, benefits, etc.) by 16 percent in the last five years – from $7,765 per pupil to $8,983 per pupil. - The union criticized the district for spending “only” 60 percent of funds on “education.” Byron
spends $18.455 million on “education;” Winnebago spends $12.305 million; Oregon spends $12.275 million; Meridian spends $12.266 million; North Boone spends $11,723 million. (Byron ranks 76th out of Illinois’ 859 Districts in education spending.) Of the 45 Community Unit School Districts in Ogle, Lee, Winnebago, Boone, McHenry, DeKalb, Kane and Kendall counties, Byron teachers are the secondhighest paid. Other than Batavia, only Chicagoland’s wealthy suburbs pay higher teacher salaries. - The BOE never received a “lower bid” to demolish the former middle school; the BOE received one bid and it
was accepted. - Three judges reviewed the dismissal of former superintendent Margaret Fostiak; none indicated in any way that Ms. Fostiak was “improperly” dismissed. - The school district never loaned the Byron Park District $500,000 (nor any amount); therefore, the union claim that the BOE “forgave” the loan is nonsense. Under Dr. James Hammack’s leadership, the district’s budget is balanced, test scores are up (ACT scores are at a 13-year high), class size remains small and teacher compensation is generous. It is disheartening that the teacher’s union – as they seek higher wages - feels the need to make false statements.
In the debate over how communities will educate students during financially challenging times, it is crucial that all parties provide accurate information. (Source for all financial data: Illinois Report Card) Thank you, Doug Floski President Byron Board of Education
Organizer thanks sponsors Dear Editor, As the Event Coordinator for the Oregon Park District I would like to thank the generous sponsors of our special events. Many of our special events,
such as the Easter Egg Hunt and Flashlight Egg Hunt are free to the community. We simply would not be able to host such wonderful events for youth in our community without the help of our local businesses. I can’t find the words to express my gratitude for the businesses that support the Oregon Park District. In this economy with many businesses pinching their pennies it is heartwarming to know that community matters to these businesses and they are willing to give back. Sponsors for this year’s Egg Hunts are Smith & Birkholz, Snyders, Harvard State Bank, Stillman Bank, First National Bank, Midland States Bank, Subway, Pizza
Hut, and McDonald’s. The show of community support and business involvement is one reason living in Oregon, is so great, but also the show of support from people willing to volunteer. All special events require volunteers in order to make them successful. We have volunteers of all ages who are willing and excited about helping at our events. Special thanks to the 30 volunteers who gave of their time to make the 2016 Easter Egg Hunts a success. A grateful employee and citizen, Debbie Leffelman Oregon Park District Event Coordinator

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A laid-back approach to whatever challenge you face will help you avoid an emotional confrontation. Concentrate on yourself and being your very best. Choose romance over bickering. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Treat a loved one to something out of the ordinary. Sharing information and participating in something that appears to be opportunistic will pay off. Home improvements will boost your morale. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You should stay on top of your game and keep a watchful eye on anyone you think might pose a problem. The less you share, the easier it will be to accomplish your goals. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Emotions will spin out of control if you react too quickly to what someone implies. Do your research and opt to do your own thing if it will keep the peace. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Do whatever it takes to enhance your position. Use your charm to entertain the people you need by
your side. Play to win and plan a romantic celebration. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You have the expertise to turn a challenging situation around. Don’t wait when you could use your intelligence to make thing happen. Call in favors and offer incentives that are hard to refuse. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Think matters through and back away from anyone trying to push you in a direction that makes you feel insecure. Emotional manipulation should be something you want no part of. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Invest in one of your ideas that has long-term potential. A sideline business that relies on your talent, skills and passion will bring you satisfaction.
