AOP’s 45th annual festival this weekend Parade, craft show just some of the events By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com It could be a banner year for the Autumn on Parade this weekend, if Mother Nature decides to play along for the all-volunteer festival’s 45th anniversary. A “Flashback to the 1970s” is the theme for this year’s event, held Oct. 3-4 in Oregon. “We wanted to try and do something to celebrate the 45 years of Autumn on Parade. A lot of volunteers have helped make this festival a success since 1970 and we thought the 1970s theme might be fun,” said festival
president Marseyne Snow. The ever-popular Farmers’ Market and Craft Show, held Saturday and Sunday, and Harvest Time Parade, held on Sunday, should not disappoint with more than 165 booths taking part. “Starting last fall our sixperson committee has gone to many other craft shows trying to bring in quality homemade items to this years craft show” said Lisa Boehle, co-chairman of the Farmer’s Market and Craft Show. Through cooperation with Ogle County and city officials, the booths will be located on the historic courthouse lawn and on surrounding city streets offering a variety of arts and crafts ranging from handmade wood items to homemade baked breads.

TelePharm officials recently announced plans to open an online pharmacy in downtown Mt. Morris, in a portion of the building that houses the Main Street Bistro at 12 W. Main St. Economic Development Committee member Rob Urish told the village board about the plan on Sept. 22. It could take six to nine months to get up and running; the hope is to open this winter, TelePharm officials said. The company also has been reaching out to various other small towns that may be stranded in a “pharmacy desert.” It is in the talking stage with Ashton, in Lee County, and has progressed in Erie in Whiteside County to the point where they are looking for a location,

Heller, Camp Lowden to be honored at AOP parade By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Special honors will be given to an individual and an organization Oct. 4 during the Harvest Time Parade at Oregon’s annual Autumn on Parade festival. Retired Oregon Fire Chief Don Heller has been named the parade’s Guest of Honor, and Camp Lowden has been recognized as the Unit of Honor. Heller retired April 30 as fire chief after serving in the position for 14 years. In all, he was a volunteer fireman for 38 years. Until moving to Byron late last year, Heller was a lifelong Oregon resident. He joined the all-volunteer fire department in 1977, was
appointed a lieutenant three years later, then became a captain, and finally chief in 2001. Heller said he joined because he wanted to serve his community. “I enjoyed the camaraderie of all the guys I went through all these years with, and I wanted to give back to the community I live in,” Heller said. “Being there meant a lot to me. We get the call and it’s the worst day of their lives. It was great just to be able to help out your neighbors and see the look of gratitude on their faces when it was taken care of.” Camp Lowden, the favorite place of many current and former Boy Scouts, is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year.

Belvidere man killed in accident on way to campground By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com
A Belvidere man died Sept. 25 after the sports utility vehicle he was driving struck a tree approximately seven miles south of Oregon, just north of Penn Corner Road. Thomas W. Ashley, 22, was pronounced dead at KSB Hospital, Dixon, where he was transported by Oregon ambulance. Ogle County Sheriff’s Police said Ashley was on his way to a campground near Grand Detour to attend an outing with a church group from his college. Camping gear and other items were strewn around the crash site and into the nearby soybean field. According to a press
release issued by Sheriff Brian VanVickle, Ashley was driving a Chevrolet Suburban southbound on Ill. 2 when he attempted to pass another southbound vehicle. Deputies determined that he lost control of the SUV when pulling back into the southbound lane after the pass and skidded into the west ditch where the vehicle struck a tree prior to coming to rest. The crash occurred at 6:07 p.m. The initial investigation indicated no signs of alcohol involvement, and that Ashley was wearing a seatbelt. The Oregon Fire Department, the Illinois State Police and the Illinois Conservation Police assisted at the scene. The crash remains under Ogle County Sheriff’s Deputies and the Oregon Fire Department responded to a one-vehicle accident on Ill. 2, just investigation. north of the intersection with Penn Corner Road on Sept. 25.

Marjory Etnyre’s 1911 essay on art colony continues 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 Marjory Etnyre wrote an essay about the Eagle’s Nest Art Colony in 1911 when she was a freshman at Oregon High School. The first part of the essay appeared in last week’s column. Her essay continues below. Among the noted men of which the colony is composed are Lorado Taft, Charles Francis Brown, Ralph Clarkson, J. M. Dickerson, Oliver Dennett Grover, Professor Fiske, Pond Brothers, architects, and Hamlin Garland. Undoubtedly, America’s greatest sculptor is Lorado Taft, who for thirteen years has made his summer home at the artist colony. He is Professor of Art in Chicago University and an instructor in the Art Institute. His great genius is shown in the huge statue of Black Hawk, which still stands on the edge of a cliff looking down Rock River. It is forty-eight feet in height, without including the artificial base, which puts it on a scale with the Goddess of Liberty in New York harbor, and the great statue of “The Pilgrim” on the New England coast. When the leaves are off the trees it can be seen for many miles. The figure is made of concrete and therefore will be very durable. It has been in the process of making for three years, and is now almost completed. The making of the statue has been a labor of love for Mr. Taft and “work for work’s sake.”
Lorado Taft stands by one of his works. Photo supplied
The expense has been borne by him, although the whole colony of artists and Mr. Heckman, on whose land it stands, have been willing to assist. The sculptor has said that he did not study any particular type of Indian, but it is a composite of different tribes and simply represents the Indian personality. There is even a hint of the old Roman in the face, which was necessary to show “a spirit unconquered, while still a conquered race.” The colossal figure of Black Hawk may sometime become one of the most famous statues of the United States. Another imposing piece of sculpture in this region will be the monument to the soldiers of Ogle County, placed on the courthouse square at Oregon. Mr. Taft is giving the design, the county paying for the material and labor. In a conspicuous place near the Art Institute is his noted “Fountain of the Great Lakes,” represented by figures holding the five basins.
Another wonderful piece of Mr. Taft’s is the “Waves of Humanity.” This represents, as the name implies humanity sweeping by like a wave, human figures only partially defined emerge from it. This will stand on the Midway in Chicago. A large statue of Washington, made by the same great sculptor, was erected in Seattle, Washington. “The Blind” and “The Solitude of the Soul” are two of his pieces that have attracted world-wide attention. His latest and most important work is the fountain to be place in front of the new Union Station in Washington, D. C. Mr. Taft and Mr. Clarkson are the only Chicago artists who have been elected to the National Academy in New York. Mr. Ralph Clarkson has done wonderful things in portrait painting. He is considered one of the best in that line in the United States. The landscape artist of

the colony is Mr. Charles Francis Brown, who now has a government position, representing the United States at an exposition in Buenos Aires, South America. Mr. Oliver Dennett Grover is also a landscape artist, and has done much mural painting. His best work of that kind is found in the Blackstone Library in Chicago. He is now living in Florence, Italy. Not only are there artists in the colony, but literary
people also, Hamlin Garland, the noted novelist, has spent much time at the bluff. Among his books are “”Boy Life on the Prairie” and “The Captain of the Gray Horse Troop.” Mrs. Peattie, who has spent several summers at the camp, is a book reviewer on the Chicago Tribune. She has written a number of books and poems, and contributes to magazines. The editor of the Baptist Standard, Mr. J. M. Dickerson also makes his
summer home here. Many celebrated people have visited the colony, such as Dr. Harper, Dr. James, Dr. Brested, the famous Egyptologist, and Dr. Michelson, the winner of the Nobel Prize, some years ago. The influence of the colony is inspiring. To have in our midst so many lovers of the beautiful, in nature, art and literature, certainly has a educational effect, bringing us into touch with the finer and nobler things of life.

The group meets the first Wednesday of every month at the center. Christine Novak, MA, LCPC and Lisa Jensen MS, ED, licensed professional counselors from Changes Counseling in Rochelle, will be guest speakers at the meeting. Their presentation will focus on stress management and coping with the challenges of a chronic disease. Dealing with the demands of everyday life can be stressful.

Although it’s impossible to avoid stress altogether, it is possible to learn how to better manage stress and anxiety. This support group is free and appropriate for anyone who is diagnosed with diabetes, and their family members, to help them learn more. For more information call Marilyn Csernus at 815-7322191 or email at mcsernus@ illinois.edu. Anyone needing a reasonable accommodation to participate in this program should call the Extension office.

Flu vaccinations are recommended Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Director Nirav D. Shah, M.D., J.D. is recommending that everyone older than six months be vaccinated against influenza. The flu season in Illinois typically starts around October and can last up to May. The flu vaccine is becoming available at many local health departments, pharmacies, and health clinics around the state. “The single most effective way to prevent getting the flu is an annual flu shot,” said Shah. “Influenza is a serious illness and can be fatal. Even healthy people get the flu each year, so it’s important for everyone to be vaccinated. “Being vaccinated will not only help protect you, but it will help protect people at higher risk of severe illness such as the elderly.” The flu vaccine is easier to get than ever. The vaccine comes in the traditional form of a flu shot, but for people who don’t like needles, there is an intradermal vaccine given with a much smaller needle, or a nasal spray. There are also a highdose vaccine for people age 65 years and older and a recombinant (egg-free) vaccine. The vaccine is also becoming easier to get as more places, like workplaces, are offering the vaccine, and pharmacies are open earlier and close later to help people with busy schedules.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports the availability of more influenza vaccine this year than ever before. Manufactures are making more than 171 million doses, 40 million of which have already been distributed across the country. Overall, CDC estimates that 47 percent of the U.S. population age six months and older was vaccinated during the 2014-2015 season, similar to the 20132014 season and up from an estimated 41 percent five years ago. The severity of a flu season is unpredictable because flu viruses are constantly changing. “Occasionally, flu viruses will change substantially after they are included in the vaccine, William Schaffner, M.D., medical director of the National Foundation of Infectious Disease said. “This can result in lower than usual vaccine effectiveness, which is what happened last season. “But this season’s vaccine has been updated and vaccination is always our first and best defense in fighting flu and protecting public health.” Each season, flu causes millions of illnesses, hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations and thousands or sometimes tens of thousands of deaths. “The best defense is a good offense, and the best offense is getting a flu shot.”

Caregiver support group forming Rock River Center is forming a caregiver support group on the first Tuesday of the month beginning Oct. 6 from 10 to 11 a.m. at the center, 810 S. 10th St., Oregon. Patti Kilmer, an Alzheimer’s Association trained facilitator, will lead the support group. Participants do not need to be caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s to join the group. Senior citizens caring for a spouse, adults caring for parents or grandparents, friends caring for older adults in the neighborhood,
or grandparents caring for grandchildren are all examples of caregivers. Caregivers many times do not realize that they are, in fact, caregivers. Family caregiving is very common and involves giving many different kinds of care and help. Some examples are taking the older person to the doctor, or shopping for groceries. Helping with dressing or bathing, managing the checkbook, paying bills, providing meals, etc. Many caregivers provide care with no outside assistance; however, support
services for caregivers are available. Information and assistance, education, support groups, and respite care can delay nursing home placement and provide relief for caregivers. While caring for a loved one can bring great satisfaction, and many consider it a privilege to give back to one who has once cared so lovingly for them, the mental and physical strains associated with caregiving tend to “mount up”, especially when the caregiver also has responsibilities to a job and/ or childcare.
Support groups offer many things to caregivers, including coping strategies, peer support, and resource education. All are invited to the group, including those who are new to caregiving, those who anticipate caregiving, and those for whom caregiving is already a way of life. Information, resources, encouragement and answers to difficult questions will Coffee will be served.

Council approves special use permit By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com A third garage will be allowed on property owned by Jonathan and Pam Dahm. The couple lives at 1002 Illinois Street and own a two acre lot. They approached the city to see if the ordinance limiting accessary structures could be changed to allow the garage to be built. The Oregon City Council unanimously approved a special use permit Sept. 22 for the garage and an amendment to the special use to allow the couple to keep a small shed that is used to store pool chemicals. City building inspector Casper Manheim said the city code allows only two accessory structures. “We are going to revisit to allow a third structure on properties that are an acre and a half,” he said. An accessory structure is any building not attached to the house. Rules are in place to ensure lot coverage is not exceeded and order is maintained, Manheim said. Commissioner Kurt
Wilson, who is on the Planning Commission, said their are six properties in the city that would qualify for an extra structure based on an acre and a half. The Dahm’s neighbor Dave Smith attended the meeting and offered his support to the proposal. “We have no objections to this,” said Smith. “I would ask to allow them to keep the small building for their pool supplies.” The planning commission required the Dahms to seek the approval of their neighbors since a hearing was waived for this request. The Dahms said the garage would be for personal use and was not going to be used as a business. In other business the board: • Learned that Trick-orTreat hours in Oregon will be Saturday, Oct. 31 from 5 to 8 p.m. • Mayor Ken Williams announced that a representative from Congressman Adam Kinzingers, (R- Channahon) office will be at city hall on Wednesday, Sept. 30 from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. to meet with members of the public.

Guest Column By Tom Mahoney Superintendent Oregon School District Editor’s note: This letter is addressed to families in the Oregon School District. I hope you have had a great start to the school year and your children are engaged in their learning. As you may be aware, the state required all districts to test their students using the new PARCC assessment. PARCC is an acronym for the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers. You can read more about PARCC at their website, http://www.parcconline.org/. Last year, the district provided the PARCC assessment twice, as required by the state, to our students. We received an email from Dr. Tony Smith, Illinois State Board of Education Superintendent, informing schools that the PARCC results are not ready for the school level, but are available at the state level. On Sept.16, the State Board of Education was scheduled to release the initial, but incomplete, statewide results. Dr. Smith went on to inform us of the following information I want to share with you.

• While the numbers are not final, we know that the percent of students who demonstrate proficiency are likely lower than the percentage of students who were proficient on the previous test. • He encouraged schools to inform our communities now that we fully expect results to improve as teachers and students become more familiar with the higher standards. These initial results are simply a new baseline from which we can move forward. • He asked that we help families understand that the PARCC test is not an “additional” test, but that it replaces an existing test with one that is better aligned to the new standards. • Lastly, he reminded us that these results are only one
of many factors that inform our accountability system. We will never use test scores in isolation to drive school decisions. We all understand that no test can ever fully capture the inspiring skills and abilities of a great teacher or the extraordinary benefits and positive impact of a great school. Tests are simply one measure to help track our progress. • There is no expected release date for student level data, at this time only state level data is available. Your staff is deeply committed to providing your student the best possible education while focusing on delivering on the district’s mission. Dr. Smith was in the district on Aug. 25 and witnessed the remarkable work that occurs daily in our buildings. During his visit, Dr. Smith met with your Nationally Board Certified teachers, observed classrooms, met with students and met with central office staff. Dr. Smith remarked that we have an amazing district with teachers and staff who care about our students and make a difference every day in their lives.

Oregon to co-op OHS bowling with Winnebago By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com During the September meeting of the Oregon school board, a co-op agreement was approved between Oregon and Winnebago for bowling. Due to declining numbers, officials from Winnebago
approached Oregon about joining the Hawk bowling program. “Winnebago made a decision to drop bowling because its per capita expense was higher than any other sport,” Oregon coach Al Nordman said. “They only had six kids and two full-time coaches.” The co-op agreement
won’t cost the Oregon school district any additional money. It also helps an Oregon program, which has also been struggling with numbers. “We only have seven boys and six girls coming back,” Nordman said. “This will help us in the interim until bigger numbers come up. We have a big group in sixth
grade.” With the loss of Winnebago, bowling will no longer be considered a BNC boys sport, as at least half of the schools must offer it. However, there are enough BNC girls programs for it to remain a sanctioned sport. Since bowling in a 1-class sport, the enrollment of ‘Bago won’t affect Oregon’s
classification. In fact, Nordman was enthusiastic about bringing the Indians on for helping close the enrollment disparity. “They have one bowler who is really good,” Nordman said. “When you are competing with schools that average 2,100 students, its helps to have extra kids.” That figure of 2,100 is
based upon the average enrollment of schools that qualified for the statebowling tournament. Additionally, the sectional Oregon was in had the top four-placing teams at the boys state meet. In 2012, the boys team from Oregon was the smallest school in the state to qualify for the IHSA meet.
Lady Hawks beat Stillman By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Sandwiched between an impressive third-place finish in the Oswego East Tournament over the weekend and upcoming grudge match with Rock Falls on Thursday, the Oregon volleyball team easily dispatched of Stillman Valley 25-11 and 25-16 on Tuesday. “We went in with the focus of working on what we’ve been doing in practice and fixing areas that we need to get stronger on,” Oregon coach Faith Watson said. With a large contingent of high school boys dressed up in women’s clothing, including matching outfits by Maverik Good and Jerrick Orsted, the volleyballers gave fans plenty to cheer about. “That was neat to see,” Watson said. “We also saw the cross country team sitting as group and supporting us.”
Golfers win again The Oregon High School golf team traveled to Elliot Golf Course, Rockford on Sept. 24 to compete against Rockford East. Carson Buck shot a 40 as the Hawks picked up a onestroke victory at Elliott Golf Course. Oregon athletes had a total score of 166, which brings the team record to 12-3 overall at this point in the season. Elliot is a par 36 course. Other Oregon scores were: Mitchell Nehrkorn, 41: Tyler Black, 42; Matt Myers, 44; Zach Stromberg, 43; Adam Merrill, 43; Matt Slouka, 59; Jackson Buck, 59; Kyle Lundquist, 52; Mike Kresheck, 58; Mason Baker, 62.
Taylor Egan and Sommer Rhea had five aces each and Hailey Rorbeck had four to lead Oregon from the service line. “It wasn’t our night,” SV coach Jamie McCarty said. “Their passing game made us struggle.” In the first game, the Lady Hawks jumped out to a 12-2 lead, as Stillman had numerous return errors. Finally, 6-foot-3 Macy Weaver had a kill to stop the 9-point Oregon run. Stillman closed to within 13-7, but it was Oregon the rest of the way, highlighted by a nifty misdirection shot for a score at the net by Rorbeck, a Gylian Finch ace right on the back line and a Bre Cullen dig and Mackenzie Skoumal on the game’s longest rally. Rhea started the second game with a pair of kills. The Lady Cardinals briefly took a 5-4 lead before Egan’s serves

Hawks fall to Crusaders By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com
Oregon faced one of the top teams in 4A on Sept. 25, falling 60-0 to Rockford Lutheran. The Crusaders scored the first two times they touched the ball on a 65-yard run by James Robinson and an 85yard punt return by Marcus Hayes and the rout was on.
Robinson would score five more times and finish with 305 yards rushing on 12 carries. Lutheran (5-0, 3-0) built a 47-0 halftime lead and tacked on two more scores for the final margin of victory. Oregon (2-3, 1-2) struggled against a staunch Crusader defense all evening. Terry Page led all Hawk rushers with 19 yards on eight carries. Brayton Finch
and Caleb Mennen added 17 yards each on 10 carries. The Hawks did manage five first downs and had 80 total yards. In only 10 and half minutes of possession, Lutheran had 505 yards. Oregon travels to Byron this Friday to take on the 4-1 Tigers. Last year, Byron edged the Hawks 23-13, before going on to the 3A semifinals.

Rhea, Finch, and Skoumal helped finish Stillman off with kills down the stretch for final margin of victory. “We weren’t getting as many blocks as we’d like to,” said McCarty, who had a 6-2 player to compliment Weaver at the net. Bailey Nelson and Skoumal had two blocks each and Rhea led everyone with eight kills. At the Oswego East tourney, Oregon’s only losses were to Oswego East (2200 enrollment) and Yorkville (1600 enrollment).

Sports Column Robinson and Lutheran are discussion topics By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com At the halfway point of the football season, James Robinson and Rockford
Lutheran continue to be the main topic of discussion. In covering high school football for 20 years, I don’t think I’ve ever heard so much talk about one player. The fact he is closing in on all kinds of state records and that he is virtually impossible to tackle him one-on-one, along with being on a juggernaught of a team make him:
a.) physical freak, b.) a joy to watch play, c.) big-time college recruit, d.) object of scorn/envy, e.) all of the above? By the very nature of his statistical resume there has become a mystique about him If he played on a 7A or 8A Chicago suburban team, would he be anything special or is this a product of playing

against 3A/4A competition? And what effect has a “new and improved” Lutheran football program had on him getting all these touchdowns and 50-yard gains When 4-1 Dixon gives up 88 points in one half and a respectable Oregon team can only manage one first down, while Lutheran reels off 355 yards on only 13 first-half plays, something is amiss. Conspiracy theorists reason that Rockford Boylan is 0-5 because they are losing players to Lutheran. Others wonder how Lutheran went from 9-72 in 2003-11 as a 2A school to suddenly being one of the elite teams in 4A. Then we get into to the age-old argument of a competitive disadvantage small public schools have against private schools from large communities, such as Lutheran, Lombard Montini or Aurora Christian. Instead of playing in the Big Northern, maybe Lutheran would be better suited in the NIC-10. As Robinson closes in on the state career rushing record of 8,477 yards and Lutheran demolishes everyone in sight, do we applaud or call into the question the meaning of it all? I’m still not sure what to make of it all. But, it sure has generated a firestorm of commentary in towns all
over northern Illinois. It might seem like Oregon’s back is against the wall with three losses heading into this Friday’s game against Byron. But, as Alfred E. Neuman of Mad magazine fame used to say, “What, me worry?” In 2013, the Hawks were 3-4 and won the final two games to make the playoffs. Last year, a 2-4 record turned into three straight conference wins for another playoff berth. There is no reason the 2015 squad can’t do the same. They have exhibited the same type of mental toughness needed to pull this off. Could we see Oregon and Stillman Valley sitting at 4-4 heading into the final week of the season and winner take all for the playoff spot? After Byron’s 41-40 win over Stillman, many feel these two teams are Oregon’s biggest roadblock. True, but do not under-estimate Winnebago. Like Oregon, they have a small roster and faced a tough schedule. The Indians are a dangerous team and capable of playing with anyone. The Hawks were fortunate to get by ‘Bago last year. As one analyzes the BNC this season, it would have been a much more interesting west division race without Lutheran. By becoming a
Andy Colbert
powerhouse, the Crusaders have taken the fun out of it. After Robinson graduates, you have to wonder if Lutheran will continue to dominate? If they do, what will the patience of the rest of the BNC in facing such a program? With an unwieldy 11 teams next year, it might be enticing to eventually ask the big bully to find another home. And, this is more than about football. There is also the matter of the Lutheran boys basketball program putting a beatdown on league teams for the past few years. Folks in Byron are still smarting from a sectional loss in 2012, after having perhaps its best team in school history.

Rochelle woman is indicted after fatal crash in June near Rochelle A 19-year-old Rochelle woman was indicted last week for aggravated reckless driving as a result of a fatal vehicle crash in June. Emily Jahnke was indicted by an Ogle County Grand Jury on Sept. 23 for the Class 4 felony. The indictment came after the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department completed its investigation into the crash that took the life of Anna Speed, 19, Rochelle, on June 10. Speed was pronounced dead at the scene on the crash on Gillis Road near the intersection with Mulford
Road, approximately six miles northeast of Rochelle. The crash occurred at 8:38 p.m. Speed was a backseat passenger in the Jeep that Jahnke was driving. According to the bill of indictment, Jahnke “after consuming alcohol, swerved or ‘fish-tailed,’” the vehicle back and forth on Gillis Road, a gravel surface, causing the Jeep to leave the roadway, flip over, and strike a utility pole. Jahnke and front seat passenger Anna Craven, 19, Rochelle, were ejected from the vehicle.
Both were transported to Rochelle Community Hospital. Craven was treated and released. Jahnke was later transferred to OSF St. Anthony Medical Center, Rockford. Court documents said Jahnke is being represented by Rockford attorney Jerry Lund. No future court dates have been set. A Class 4 felony carries a possible penalty of 1 to 3 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections and a maximum fine of $25,000.
One-vehicle Rollover The Oregon Fire Department and Ogle County Sheriff’s Department responded to a one-vehicle rollover in the 2000 block of East Ill. 64 Tuesday afternoon.

Secretary of State not sending registration reminders Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White has announced that his office will suspend mailing out vehicle registration renewal reminder notices to the public due to the lack of a state budget. White noted that by suspending this service, which will save approximately $450,000 per month, his office will be able to prolong the ability to mail vehicle registration renewal stickers, titles and license plates to vehicle owners for a
few months longer before the postage account is depleted. “The lack of a Fiscal Year 2016 budget is adversely impacting the Secretary of State’s office, and threatens to jeopardize the services we provide to the public,” said White. “Without a state budget in place, we are doing what we can to manage so that we may serve the people of Illinois for as long as possible. As a result, difficult decisions like suspending renewal reminder notice mailings
are decisions we are being forced to make.” White also noted if the office’s postage account runs out before January, he will be unable to mail the annual license to auto dealers, which they need to operate in Illinois legally, as well as critical incorporation paperwork needed for businesses in Illinois. Last week, White issued a letter to the governor and legislative leaders outlining concerns on how the budget stalemate is negatively

impacting his office. Some of the concerns included critical computer maintenance and data security issues as well as Driver and Vehicle Services facility operations. White is determined to prioritize difficult cuts to ensure his office can provide core services to the public for as long as possible. White encouraged vehicle owners to be mindful of their vehicle registration status to
ensure they renew in a timely manner and avoid driving on expired vehicle stickers. He also emphasized that more vehicle owners will be forced to visit facilities to renew their vehicle registration stickers because without a reminder notice they will not have a pin number needed to renew online. However, people who have signed up to receive electronic reminder notices
will continue to receive them by email. To sign up for this service, please visit www. cyberdriveillinois.com. “I urge the governor and the legislature to come together and solve this budget crisis so that my office, and all of state government, can continue providing services to the people of Illinois without interruption,” said White.
Fire prevention week Oct. 4-10 With national Fire Prevention Week (FPW) occurring from Oct. 4-10, the nonprofit Illinois Fire Safety Alliance (IFSA) encourages Illinois residents to practice fire safety and prevention throughout the entire year. The theme for 2015 FPW is “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep.” According to the National Fire Protection
Association, which sponsors FPW, roughly half of home fire deaths result from overnight fires when most people are asleep. Smoke alarms alert residents of a fire so they can safely escape. Working smoke alarms reduce the risk of dying in a fire by half. A good reminder to change smoke alarm batteries is
when homeowners change their clocks to “spring forward” an hour when Daylight Saving Time (DST) begins in the spring and “fall back” when it ends in the fall.
