Building offers ample space for county offices
Council tables ramp
Purchase in Rochelle pays off for county
Cost of project is $141,000 for the Coliseum
By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com An Ogle County official says the county board’s decision last fall to buy a building in Rochelle is turning out to be a good one. “It’s a win-win for everyone involved,” said county board chairman Kim Gouker, Byron. The former bank building turned Rochelle Clinic, at 510 Lincoln Highway in downtown Rochelle, already serves as the county’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and the office of Ogle County Emergency Management Agency Coordinator Tom Richter. With a little remodeling, it will also house offices for the Ogle County Health Department and Ogle County Probation Department. Gouker said the new location will be more convenient for the clients served by both departments. “It will be within walking distance for some of them,” he said. “They won’t have to try to find a ride.”
In addition to the main offices it Oregon, currently the health department rents space on the south side of Rochelle, and probation rents offices north of the downtown. Rent for both amounts to almost $50,000 per year, Gouker said, a cost that will disappear. The county had been renting the spacious basement for its EOC when Rochelle Community Hospital put the building on the market late last summer. Because the hospital almost doubled in size by building a new wing, the downtown clinic space was no longer needed. After discussion and negotiations, the county board bought the building and its two large parking lots for $180,000 in October. Owning the building ensures that the county won’t need to relocate the EOC. The main floor of the building will undergo remodeling later this year, Gouker said, to create offices for the Probation Department. Because it housed a medical clinic, getting it ready for the health department won’t be as extensive. “It’s almost turn-key,”

Gouker said. The building already has eight examination rooms, complete with sinks, cupboards, and some equipment. The clinic left its eight examination tables behind as part of the deal. The University of Illinois clinic will share the space, as they do currently at the smaller facility where there are only three exam rooms. The remodeling will include changing the main floor entryway, revamping restrooms, and putting in an elevator, as well as creating office space. A stairway that doesn’t meet fire codes will be removed. Remodeling downstairs will include moving
Richter’s office to give him not only office space but also a conference room. The county board agreed June 21 to spend $3,500 for a mechanical engineer to sort out where furnace and air-conditioning ducts are located and to create zoned heating and cooling. “There’s no point in heating and cooling the entire space all of the time when we’re not using all of it,” Gouker said. Unless an emergency occurs, the EOC, which occupies most of the basement, is used only for annual drills. The building has ample space to meet any future needs. In fact, Gouker said, because not all of it is
needed currently, the county has offered office space to Rochelle Community Foundation rent-free. “This will allow them to have visibility in the community and a place to operate from,” Gouker said. Director Kim Montgomery was running the foundation from her home, but currently has a desk at Fehr-Graham across the street from the county building. Meeting and office space will be made available to other not-for-profit agencies to reserve as needed. Gouker said he hopes the building will be ready for its new occupants by early next year, when the board will host an open house to give a public a look at it.
AMC cars will tour Oregon area July 28 Classic AMC cars are coming By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com A trip through Oregon on July 28 might bring memories of a classic 1958 song. The song “Beep, Beep” is about a Nash Rambler, which is one model that might be spotted during the American Motors Tour Day. The American Motors Owners Association is holding an international convention in Rockford on July 27-30. A day trip on Thursday, July 28 will bring classic AMC cars from the 1950s through 1980s down Ill. 2 through Byron, Oregon, and Grand Detour. More than 50 cars and their owners are expected take part in the tour. Spectators are welcome to stop and take photos of the cars and talk with the owners during the tour. The plan is to leave Rockford at 9 a.m. with arrival at Butitta Brothers Automotive in Oregon by 10 a.m. At this point the AMC car
owners are free to explore the sights in Oregon or head to Grand Detour to visit the John Deere Historic Site. Lunch for the group will be served by the Oregon Lions Club at Butitta Brothers between noon and 1:30 p.m. Anyone with an AMC car is encouraged to bring out their vehicles to drive along with the group. Membership in AMO is not required to join and drive the route. The AMO convention will feature a full car show with swap meet from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Tebala Shrine, 7910 Newburg Rd., Cherry Valley, on Saturday, July 30. Spectators are free to stop by view the cars, however to display a AMC car during the Saturday show, membership in AMO is required. A daily membership is available or car owners can purchase a yearly membership. Visit www.amonational. com/2016-convention for the most up-to-date information about the show, including additional events the club has scheduled. The show also has a public Facebook group that can be found by searching for 2016 AMO Convention AMC cars have a unique connection to the area.

The Plews-Edelmann factory in Dixon made the gas caps for the AMC Gremlin. Wes Sherman, who works at Plews said his dad was a plant manager when the gas caps were made. “My dad said they were a huge locking gas cap that had a Gremlin die cast badge that would swivel to unlock the cap,” said Sherman. “He said the joke was the gas cap cost more that the car itself.” The Gremlin badge was a popular decoration and a 1972 AMC Gremlin is confirmed to be part of the July 28 tour. Matt Woodstrup, who is one of the organizers for the convention, will be driving his green Gremlin and would enjoy talking to any AMC enthusiasts during the tour.
This Gremlin badge was made at Plews-Edelmann in Dixon.

The brakes were applied on a proposal to build an ADA ramp at the Oregon Coliseum. The Oregon City Council voted 4-1 on June 28 to table the $141,400 project. Commissioner Jim Barnes was the lone no vote, stating that the ramp was needed. “The ramp goes into the east door and the back ramp would be removed,” said Barnes. Terry Schuster, the city finance commissioner, was concerned with the cost of the proposed project. “The current balance is $117,000 in the coliseum fund,” said Schuster. If the project were approved the entire fund would be drained and no money would be left for emergencies, Schuster said. “A loan?” asked mayor Ken Williams. Schuster said he had not given a loan much thought. “It we do this we use up 100 percent of our Coliseum fund,” said Williams. “We do have an elevator that is ADA compliant. Do we need both the elevator and a ramp?” “The elevator is good for one or two people,” said Barnes. The current ramp on the north side of the building is too steep to be used as an ADA ramp. “I am reluctant to spend reserve money,” said Williams. Another concern raised was the ease of use of the elevator. “There may not be enough signage,” said Williams. “I am trying to not spend $140,000 if we are ADA compliant. It seems like a lot of money.” “The elevator does not work well,” said Schuster. “Is there a way to make it work better?” The council discussed the possibility of upgrading the elevator to have automatic doors. Currently the user needs to manually open, close, and latch the doors. “We need to have strong ADA accessibility,” said Williams. “Maybe something can be done for less - another alternative.” Williams asked the board to table the decision on the ADA ramp so other options can be explored. The council also discussed the possibility of removing the steep ramp on the north side of the building and turning it into a loading dock to get equipment into the building.

Great weather lends success to LFR festival Fireworks, fun all part of Mt. Morris’ event By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Perfect weather added to the success of the 53rd Let Freedom Ring festival in Mt. Morris. “It was a good festival,” said LFR Committee member Jan Hough. “Our events were well attended, and it was gorgeous weather.” A mix of sun and clouds, temperatures in the 70s, and low humidity were ideal conditions for the three-day festival. A fireworks display capped off the event and drew a large crowd on Monday evening. “The fireworks were terrific,” Hough said. In fact, the only apparent glitch came during the ringing of the Illinois Official State Freedom Bell on Kable Square Monday afternoon.
As LFR Queen Sydne Robinson, her court, and the festival crowd were midway through the traditional 13 peals of the bell, the clasp attaching the rope broke. As the bell continued to ring far more than once of each to the nation’s original 13 colonies, sound technician Jerry Stauffer made the best of it. “Let Freedom Ring,” he proclaimed with a chuckle. During the Patriotic Program preceding the bell-ringing, speaker Stan Ballard paid tribute to the community’s veterans. He read the citation presented to Doug Wean, a U.S. Navy Medical Corpsman, with his Silver Star for valor in battle during the Vietnam War. Wean, a Mt. Morris native, is a sought-after speaker at veterans’ occasions. “I read this citation to you because on the 4th of July we celebrate our freedoms,” Ballard said. “But we need to remember the people who have fought for those
freedoms. Some of them didn’t come home.” Robinson was crowned the 2016 LFR Queen on June 29 just before the patriotic concert by the Kable Concert Band. Robinson and her Royal Court, Princess Sarah Palmer, Anastasia Gordon, and Lani Morris, reigned over the festival, riding in the Grand Parade, and participating in other festival events. All four girls will be high school seniors in the fall. Morris was the winner of the queen pageant essay contest and read her essay on the festival theme “An Old-Fashioned 4th of July” during the Patriotic Program. “In my family we have always celebrated the 4th of July by spending time together and making memories that will last a lifetime,” she said.

The Ogle County 4-H Shooting Sports Program registration is open for archery and air rifle. Both disciplines provide a supportive, adult-supervised environment in which youth, ages 8 to 18 years old by Sept. 1 can learn the shooting discipline of archery. Youth ages 10 to 18 years old by Sept. 1 can learn the shooting discipline of air rifle. Youth will also learn about wildlife management and conservation ethics. The 4-H Shooting Sports program maintains a strong relationship with the existing natural resources, safety, and outdoor recreation 4-H programs. The materials and training programs emphasize young
people and their life skills as the product of the program while using tested techniques and positive reinforcement. This approach allows 4-H to increase awareness of natural resources and conservations - knowledge, to develop competency in safe shooting sports practices - skills, and to provide youth with positive workforce attitudes - behaviors. Some opportunities may be available for competitive shooting events, at the regional, state, and national level. The focus of all 4-H programs is the development of youth as individuals and as responsible and productive citizens. The Illinois 4-H Shooting Sports program stands out as
an example. Register by calling the Ogle County Extension office at 815-732-2191 or download an application from the website at http://web. extension.illinois.edu/bdo/. More information can also be found on the website. Limited spots are available.

Artifacts will be on display, with information on how they were made and used for hunting and everyday life.

Ogle 4-H team competed at judging contest A team of seven Ogle County 4-H members recently competed in State 4-H Livestock Judging Contest held on the University of Illinois campus in Champaign-Urbana, coached by volunteer Michael Ring, Oregon. The Senior Livestock team placed 20th, competing with 34 counties throughout the state. Senior team members were Matthew Drendel, Michael Drendel, Mighty Clovers 4-H Club, Monroe Center; Kyle Blum, Polo Pioneers 4-H Club; and Curtis Hollewell, Summerhill Huskies 4-H Club, Forreston. The Junior Livestock Team placed 12th competing with 30 counties throughout the state. Junior team members were Renee Gehrke, Bruce Gehrke, and Matthew Hickey, By-Y-Badgers 4-H Club, Byron. Livestock judging is more than just selecting what animal looks best in the ring. In livestock judging, youth must rank four animals from best to worst based on their physical traits, such as bone structure and mobility; their performance data, such as growth rate or calving ease; and their potential profitability.
Their ranking is compared to the official placing to determine part of their score. In addition, youth must remember specific characteristics of each animal presented and respond to random questions about each animal, such as which was the bolder-ribbed, stoutermade heifer. 4-H members not only have to know the right answer, they have to remember it long after the class leaves the ring. Older members must then provide reasons for their selections orally to a panel of judges and defend their placings in the class. “Livestock judging teaches decision making and public speaking,” said Dan Jennings, U of I Extension animal science educator. “It forces youth to quickly recall facts, make a choice based on what they know and what they see, and then defend that choice to industry leaders.” For more information on judging opportunities or about 4H, call the extension office at 815-732-2191. Anyone needing a reasonable accommodation to participate can also call the office.

Fly-in breakfast was served July 4 The lines were long all morning during the annual Fourth of July Fly-in Breakfast at the Ogle County Airport. Despite the cloud cover, pilots from all over northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin flew out to the airport for breakfast. Others drove to the airport to have breakfast and view the aircraft. Several planes are modern experimental aircraft while others are classic World War II era planes. The Ogle County Pilots Association and the Experimental Aircraft Association were on hand cooking and serving the breakfast. This year, members of the Let Freedom Ring Queen’s court were on hand to help with breakfast. The annual fly-in breakfast is always held on July 4.

Topics will include: location, types of agritourism enterprises and attractions, public expectations and amenities, safety and liability, marketing and promotion, growth and financial management. “Starting an agritourism enterprise on your farm is not a decision to be taken lightly, so make sure you have thought through
everything before you take the plunge,” said Larson. “If you have a picturesque farm, and enjoy telling people your story, you may even be considering your own agri-tourism enterprise. “You may be thinking that with a few strategic improvements and investments, you’ll be in
business!” said Larson. The program fee is $10. Register online at http://web. extension.illinois.edu/bdo/. For more information call 815-758-8194. Anyone who needs a reasonable accommodation to participate in this program should call their local Extension office.

Amount spent on gaming should be no surprise Editor’s note: This is the final of a 4-part series on the impact of video gaming terminals. By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Those that don’t gamble are surprised at the amount of money that the local citizenry is inserting into slot machines. But, should it come as such a surprise? Forget about slot machines for a second. What about casino bus trips, fantasy sports betting, Internet gaming, home poker games, playing the ponies, lotteries, drawdowns, Super Bowl squares and every other game of chance? The Potawatomi Indian Tribe wants a bingo parlor in Shabbona. What does bingo have to do with Native American culture?
Earlier this year when the Powerball reached recordbreaking levels, it captured the attention of this country much the same way the first moon landing did. Locally, a “Queen of Hearts” gambling promotion at the Dixon VFW enticed hundreds of people. When a pot rose above $300,000 dollars, a parking spot at the club on became harder to find than one near Wrigley Field. Another $300,000-plus pot that attracts people far and wide is the Amboy Depot Days 50/50 raffle. Imagine how many bake sales an organization would have to put on to make the $150,000 worth of revenue the raffle generates. Like the Queen of Hearts, a feverish pitch is generated as the pot goes higher and higher. Ten years ago, the 50/50 was “only” $22,000.
Maybe it will reach a half a million dollars this year. Why the insatiable desire to win big? One major reason is the low cost of a dream. For example, a lottery ticket can be bought for $1 and for the next 2-3 days, a person has that “anticipatory thrill” of becoming a millionaire. Contrast that with slot machines where a dollar is gone is seconds. But, there is also the instant gratification a slot machine offers in immediate payoffs for wins. Could it be that slots are more about sensory stimulation than hitting a jackpot? Playing the slots and a lottery-type game are two different forms of gambling. In the slots, a player in Illinois wins 92 percent of the time. In lotteries, the chances of winning are miniscule, but the payoff
dwarfs what slots offer. Another difference between the two is that buying a lottery ticket is a quick in-and-out transaction. With slot machines, a person could spend several hours fixated on playing. The purpose of this series on local video gaming terminals is not to editorialize on gambling. Rather, it is to share data on its usage, illustrate its economic effect and discuss social ramifications. Should the Illinois legislature have enacted the 2009 Video Gaming Act, allowing licensed retail establishments, truck stops, veteran and fraternal clubs to have up to five slot machines? Or what about the 1990 Riverboat Gambling Act, which opened the door for casinos in Illinois? Let’s even go back to
1974, when the Illinois State Lottery came into existence. Some may argue that it is a state’s right to increase tax revenues. And, since there is plenty of illegal gambling going on any way, why not legalize it and allow government to get its fair share? Besides, what right do any of us have to be an arbiter of one’s conduct, including the government telling us we shouldn’t gamble? Since 47 other states have some form of gambling, doesn’t that validate it for Illinois? If Illinois did not offer gambling, neighboring states will gladly swoop in and take it those monies, so why shouldn’t government protect the quid pro quo? At what cost, though, has all this wrought? With the enactment of the various gambling acts, has
government created a society that values a “quick fix, win big” mentality? Isn’t financial well being more effective with work ethic and education as the core values? That’s not the message delivered by the state legislature, as the gambling acts potentially weaken the moral fiber of a populace. And if government’s role is to regulate gambling, why are millions of dollars being spent on advertising the lottery? That type of promotion lends itself to proliferation of gambling, not regulation. As one can see, there are arguments on both sides of this issue. One final thought – are video gaming terminals the last we’ll see in terms of regulated gaming, or does Illinois state government plan for more expansion?

Warning signs and symptoms vary. Heat exhaustion symptoms and what you should do in each situation are listed below. Heavy Sweating—Move to a cooler location, lie down and loosen your clothing.

People most vulnerable to heat-related illness include the elderly, those who work or exercise outdoors, infants and children, the homeless or poor, and people with a chronic medical condition. The Illinois Department on Aging encourages relatives and friends to make daily visits or calls to senior citizens living alone. When temperatures and humidity are extremely high, seniors and people with chronic health conditions should be monitored for dehydration and other effects of extreme heat. Additionally, seniors should eat lighter meals, take longer and more frequent rests, and drink plenty of fluids. Never leave anyone, including pets, alone in a closed, parked vehicle. The air temperature inside a car rises rapidly during hot weather and can lead to brain damage or death.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Plan a pleasure trip. Being in the right place at the right time will be easy if you follow your instincts. Don’t get angry when you can get serious about winning.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Gauge what is going on around you before you put money or your word on the line. Promising something without knowing what’s expected of you will lead to a dispute.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Only believe what you can see. Don’t bank on something that someone tells you. Take charge and question anything that appears to be lofty or unreasonable. Work toward your own ends, not someone else’s.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t sit back when you know you can make a difference. Put a little muscle behind your words and actions. Romance is in the stars, and personal progress is evident.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A profitable deal will be introduced. Make whatever changes you feel are necessary and follow through with your plans. A partnership will turn out to be advantageous.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Keep a low profile. Don’t make waves or take on something that is impossible. Bide your time, sort out what’s feasible, and carry on.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Personal change will bring you the most satisfaction. Don’t back down in the face of opposition. You have to do what you feel is best for yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you follow through with your ideas, you will find the success you are hoping for. Plan something special that will allow you to celebrate with the people you love most. Trust in yourself. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Do whatever you have to do to avoid criticism. Once you’ve taken care of your responsibilities, you will be able to focus on the things you enjoy doing most. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Take the plunge and try something new. The people you encounter will spark your interest in something that could encourage you to make a rewarding career shift. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can offer someone assistance, but don’t lose sight of your responsibilities. Someone will take advantage of you if you aren’t able to say no.
