City to explore TIF district

Project PLAY is no more By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com Project PLAY is no more. Benesh & Sons, Oregon, brought in their heavy construction equipment and demolished the large playground complex in a matter of minutes on Monday morning. The popular playground was located just outside Oregon Elementary School. On Monday evening, the Oregon School Board unanimously voted to “condemn Project PLAY as it is no longer useful for school purposes.” Superintendent Tom Mahoney said school district’s attorney advised the board to condemn the playground complex. “This is to protect the district from liability,” he said. Mahoney said the attorney advised the board to take the action in case someone who took lumber from the playground is injured by it. He said the attorney also advised the district not to directly give or sell the materials to anyone, but rather those transactions should go through Benesh & Sons. Two board members, Stephanie Haugh and Bryan Wills, said they were in school when Project PLAY was built. “It was awesome,” Wills said. Mahoney announced two weeks ago that the 27-year-old all-wood playground with its castles and twisting walkways would be demolished before school starts for safety reasons. “We’ve had an increase in kids getting injuries on Project PLAY, mostly splinters,” he said then. “There’s no way to maintain it and guarantee no injuries.” The unique playground was built by volunteers in 1989. A committee, chaired by Nancy Ryder and Deb Wuebben, spent months raising the needed $45,000 and planning the playground with the help of the Leathers Company that designed it. Hundreds of volunteers turned out at the school grounds on Oct. 11-15, 1989 Turn to A9

Estimated 18,000 people attended the fair By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com A carnival, grandstand shows, and varied exhibits drew an estimated 18,000 to 19,000 people to the 163rd Ogle County Fair last week. “The fair went very well. Overall it was a good fair,” said fair board president Harlan Holm Monday. “We don’t have exact numbers yet but attendance was a little higher than last year.” The only glitch was a power outage Thursday afternoon when equipment at the ComEd substation in Mt. Morris failed, taking down electricity not only at the fairgrounds, but also to the entire village of Mt. Morris, part of Oregon, and the rural area in between. “We’re starting generators,” Holm said. “We’ll be fine.” With the temperature

Oregon may soon have options to assist with economic development. The city council unanimously approved an amended contract Tuesday night with Jacob & Klein and the Economic Development Group to begin the process of forming a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district. “It says the three-year agreement rolls over for another three years and needs a one year notice to terminate,” said commissioner Jim Barnes. “Good point,” said mayor Ken Williams. “Would you like to amend the contact to three months (notice)?” “Yes,” said Barnes. City officials, department heads, committee members, and representatives from local taxing bodies visited Aug. 2 with representatives from the company to discuss the benefits and concerns of a TIF district. “The meetings had positive responses,” said Williams. “We had county officials, and business representatives at the meetings because we wanted to get everyone involved with the process. This will be an ongoing

hovering near the 90-degree mark, generators were already powering large fans to keep the animals cool in the livestock barns. Power was restored by 5 p.m., just in time for food vendors to gear up for the suppertime crowd. A fast-moving storm late Thursday evening cooled things down for the final three days of the fair. Holm said the biggest crowd was Saturday under clear skies with low humidity and the mercury just under 80 degrees. “It was a perfect day for going to the fair,” Holm said. The big draws at the fair included the Big Hat Rodeo on Friday night and the demolition derby Saturday night. Youngsters of all ages lined up all five days of the fair for the unlimited carnival Mud flies as Nathan Meeker, Oregon, car number 3X competes against Andy Dei,

Three rural Forreston residents have filed a lawsuit against Ogle County and their neighbors over a recent zoning decision. Walter Paul and his daughter and son-in-law Linette and Curtis DeHaven are suing the county as well as Mike and Colleen Stukenberg and STKE LLC, a company owned by the Steve and Kevin Moring. The county board approved a special use permit May 17 requested by Mike Stukenberg and the Morings to allow a Class 2 Motor Carrier Facility on property zoned for agricultural use. The property, at 11123 W. Ill. 72 just east of Forreston, is owned by Stukenberg and being purchased by STKE LLC. Paul and other nearby property owners, including the DeHavens, objected

City plans to form TIF district From A1 transparent process.” Williams said the formation of a TIF district will take months of meetings. “The first part is to study the area and determine where the TIF district should be, said Williams. “This is a fluid process until a public hearing is set.” The boundaries of the TIF district will be drawn out and modified before a public hearing will be scheduled. Usually the district is larger before the hearing and then is refined to the final size after the public input. Following the public hearing the council will have the option to approve the TIF.

“This would be the city’s first TIF if we get it done,” said Williams. “We are going to look at attracting business to the city.” The mayor met with three companies before making his recommendation for the Economic Development Group. The entire process of creating a TIF district will take a minimum of six months. The Economic Development Committee voted unanimously Aug. 9 to recommend the city move forward with the project. Committee member John VonTish asked the mayor about the recommendation. “Pick the best option,” he said. “You will be working with

them for months.” A TIF district is a method of financing economic development projects by freezing the equalized assessed value (EAV) of the affected area for 23 years. Taxing bodies then draw taxes from that frozen EAV, not from any increase in the EAV over the time period of the TIF. Taxpayers in the TIF, however, pay taxes on the EAV with its increases. The amount of taxes from the EAV increases (above the frozen level) go into a fund to be spent only on the TIF district. The TIF money can be used for building and renovation projects as well as infrastructure.

Guest Column

By Chris Busker Oregon Together Steering Committee You already know Oregon has great landscape and wildlife. Recently, Oregon Together goal #2 focused on promoting Oregon as a “Playground for Outdoor Enthusiasts.” To do so, we have developed a comprehensive list of every outdoor recreation provider within 15 miles of downtown, including all government, nonprofit and for-profit organizations.

trails, potential recreational trails and potential hiking trails already exists. This information will identify high-demand areas and develop the plans to build and connect our trail systems. The Oregon Park District recently submitted a federal grant to widen River Road to allow bike traffic on either side of the road from Lowden State Park to Ill. 64. If approved, this development would give residents and tourists an easier and safer way to bike from Lowden State Park to downtown and to visit the businesses and restaurants in town. Oregon Together’s Outdoor Recreation Committee will build upon this recent hard work and success to promote more economic development

through healthy recreation. Have you seen the new Bike Ogle’s logo design? Bike Ogle’s logo is perfectly simple. What my previous marketing professor always said, “Marketing is all about the KISS- Keep It Simple and Short!” Benefitting Oregon (as the center of Ogle County) these biking initiatives from Bike Ogle will attract many additional people to our region. Oregon Together, including the Outdoor Recreation Committee, will spearhead a marketing plan initiative to promote our most popular activities, including biking and water-sports. On behalf of the Oregon Together Outdoor Recreation Committee, we are excited to work (work with others) on these projects and we will keep you updated on our progress. If you would like to get involved in increasing the number of bicycle or snowmobile trails or you can provide some marketing and business development experience, please email me at Chris@StrongholdCenter.org or call me at 815-732-6111 ext. 607.

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.

Early locomotives puffed and snorted along at 12 to 15 miles an hour. In 1850 the minimum speed for a fast train was 40 miles per hour. During this time a mile a minute runs were reported. By 1893 a train on the New York and Buffalo on a single mile test run hit 112.5 miles an hour. On May 10, 1869, the golden spike connected the east and west sections to become the first transcontinental railroad near Promontory Summit, Utah. A golden spike reenactment is held by the Golden Spike National Historical Society during the summer months. The reenactment includes the part where executives missed hitting the spike on their first two attempts. The Challenger passed through Oregon Nov. 19, 2004.

The competition was created to provide students in grades 9-12 the opportunity to express themselves about democratic ideas and principles. Around 40,000 students participate in the competition each year and VFW awards more than $2 million in scholarships every year.

Ogle County FFA chapters receive 1st Farm Credit donations Several Ogle County Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapters are among the almost 120 groups that will benefit from a donation from 1st Farm Credit. To capstone the 100 year anniversary of the Farm Credit System, the 1st Farm Credit Services

Board of Directions made a $100,000 donation to groups dedicated to the future of Illinois agriculture and rural communities. Those receiving donations include the Forreston, Oregon, Polo, Byron, Stillman Valley, and Rochelle FFA chapters.

“Giving back to the communities that have made the past 100 years possible for us was an important part of our celebration,” said Gary J. Ash, president and chief executive officer of 1st Farm Credit Services. “We believe that every investment we can make into

the future is critical to our current and future generation of clients and those committed to agriculture and rural Illinois.” The Farm Credit System celebrated its 100 year anniversary on July 17. The system supports rural communities and agriculture

with reliable, consistent credit and financial services, today and tomorrow. 1st Farm Credit Services is one of 78 associations in the system. 1st Farm Credit Services team members worked together to select groups in their communities to receive

the gifts. Each selected organization contributes to the future of Illinois agriculture and rural America in its own unique way, from helping children who will become the next generation of farmers, to making sure people have access to nutritious meals.

Health department will offer some zika repellent Ogle County Health Department will offer insect repellent kits to its residents who will be traveling to areas where Zika virus is epidemic.Â Zika has now been found to be locally transmitted in the Miami, Florida area.Â Ogle County citizens traveling to Florida or areas of Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America as well as the Pacific Islands and Cape Verde are eligible to pick up a free Zika Preparedness Kit. Â At the 2016 Olympics which are being held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is an area where there have been a high number of cases of Zika virus and other mosquito borne diseases. Â

Anyone who is traveling to an area of high Zika Virus transmission may stop by the Ogle County Health Department, 907 W. Pines Rd., Oregon, for information on how to prevent Zika transmission and for mosquito repellent.Â Two types of repellent are being offered: repellent for use on the skin and repellent for use on clothing, tents, and untreated mosquito netting.Â Supplies are limited and are only for those travelers going to an area of high Zika Virus activity. Â No local transmission of Zika has been reported in Illinois, although travelrelated cases have been reported in the state.Â

IEPA, IDPH targets tires to quell mosquito-borne disease Plan includes three priority zones in Illinois Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Acting Director Alec Messina and Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Director Nirav D. Shah, M.D., J.D., have announced a plan to reduce the threat of mosquito-borne diseases in Illinois, like West Nile virus and Zika virus, by removing

used tires from public and abandoned properties.Â â€œUsed tires threaten Illinois communities by increasing the risk of disease transmission,â€? said Illinois EPA Acting Director Alec Messina.Â â€œThis collaborative effort between IEPA and IDPH will allow us to assist local governments most vulnerable to West Nile virus and the possible spread of Zika virus by removing prime breeding habitats for disease-carrying mosquitoes.â€?Â

Under the plan, Illinois EPA will remove used tires from certain locations across Illinois.Â The two agencies have divided the state into three priority zones for used tire removal. The zones are based on where Illinois would more likely see Zika virus, such as the southern counties that typically have hotter weather.Â Zone 1 is the highest priority area and is defined by a straight east-west line going through Effingham and areas

south of that line.Â Zone 2 is the next highest priority area and is defined by a straight east-west line through Peoria south to the Effingham line.Â Zone 3 is the third highest priority area and is defined by the straight east-west line through Peoria north to the Wisconsin border. Illinois EPA is identifying and initiating used tire removal actions for units of local government beginning in Zone 1.Â Illinois EPA will collect,

transport, and properly dispose of used tires from public and abandoned properties.Â Additional activities planned by the Illinois EPA include close monitoring of regulated used tire sites located in Zone 1 and using larvicide to actively treat and mitigate known sources of improperly managed used tires.Â In addition, the Illinois EPA and IDPH will enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement to allocate

$750,000 from the Used Tire Management Fund.Â This funding will enable IDPH to enhance statewide mosquito control activities related to West Nile virus, Zika virus, and other mosquito-borne diseases through activities associated with the improper storage, handling, and disposal of tires.Â The Illinois EPAâ€™s Used Tire Program is funded by a $2.50 per tire fee that consumers pay when purchasing tires at retail.

Lawsuit was filed July 21 From A1 because of environmental issues. The lawsuit, filed July 21 by Paul’s attorney Dan Fishburn, Freeport, asks the court to reverse the board’s decision and to issue a temporary and permanent injunction to stop the development of the property for the special use. A hearing is set for Sept. 22. The lawsuit states that the special use applicants failed to meet the standards set forth in the county zoning

ordinance because a Class 2 Motor Carrier Facility does not allow for storage of garbage dumpsters or the maintenance of garbage trucks on the property. The document further states that having the facility there is detrimental to property values in the neighborhood, as well as to the “public health, safety, morals, comfort, and general welfare” of nearby property owners. The lawsuit states that the property does not have adequate ingress and egress for truck traffic, nor adequate

drainage. At hearings held on the request, Paul and his neighbors voiced concern about contamination from the garbage trucks and dumpsters stored on the property. They were concerned that wells and aquifers, as well as the streams, could be contaminated by garbage as well as motor oil. The groundwater is just below the surface in that area and a creek is nearby. The creek feeds into the Leaf River, a tributary of the Rock River.

admission fee at the gate. Opening night on Aug. 3 saw the crowning of the Maddie Kirchner, Forreston, as the 2016 Miss Ogle County Fair Queen. Animal judging was in full swing Thursday morning. The horse show begin bright and early and continued throughout the day. First up were the riders in the green rider walk trot competition. This is for 4-H members new to showing horses in the arena. Leaf River Soaring Eagles member Natalie Johnson was practicing her technique in the minutes leading up to the competition. She was helped with her posture and told to have fun. More experienced riders took to the saddle and practiced advanced techniques before the arena was available. In a barn to the north the rabbits were taking center stage. “These are nice and young,” said fair judge Harry Rungler, Dixon. “Be proud of them, but they are small. I go by the standards but I like the little ones.” Rungler was making sure each 4-H member knew why he was making the decisions on which rabbit was the champion and which was the reserve champion. While waiting to have her rabbits judged, Carefree 4-H member Sara Blume, age 15, was doing her best to keep the rabbits on the judging table. “I try my best but they keep trying to jump away,” Blume said with a smile as she reached for one of her rabbits. Just past the rabbit cages 12-year-old Isaac Charbonneau, Leaf River Busy Beavers 4-H, was feeding his three ducks. “I need to make sure they are fed and have clean water,” he said. “Raising ducks is difficult but [they are] not the hardest animal to take care of.” Charbonneau may be young but he is experienced. “This is my fifth year showing at the fair,” he said. “One of my ducks tries to bite me so I do not think he likes being caged at the fair. At home they have space in the yard.” The Illini State Pullers took center stage at the grandstands during an afternoon and an evening show. David Palmer, 3-D Sound Dixon, took to the microphone and gave play-by-play commentary of the action. “That is a propane tractor,” said Palmer about Adam Best’s Minneapolis Moline. “He is cooking with gas today.” With every driver Palmer mentioned history about the tractors that were entered in the contest, other shows the driver participated in this season, and other facts about how tractor pulls worked.

I Do... Do

Not a single person in the crowd could leave without knowing exactly how the rules of a tractor pull were held with Palmer on the microphone. One of those drivers Thursday afternoon was Polo’s Bill Clothier. His first run did not go as planned but he still had a grin on his face when talking about the passion he has for tractor pulls. “It is what it is,” he said. “We all compete on the same track.” Clothier just went to the pits and started taking weights off his tractor to prepare for the next weight class. In tractor pulls their are strict weight limits that participants need to adhere to. “Most guys run the same tractor,” he said. “It is just the weight that changes between classes.” The weights are heavy and some are 103 pounds each and need to be lifted to shoulder height to install. “Lifting all these weights keeps you young,” Clothier joked. Wood carver Dave Ferrell drew a crowd of spectators Friday night. He was demonstrating how to carve a log using chainsaws. “Carving is fun and each year I donate art to the Saturday auction with the proceeds going to the fair,” said Farrell. The Ogle County Fair continued through Sunday afternoon.

Designs sought for playground From A1 for a five-day build to put it all together. “Any time you take down anything like this down it’s difficult because it’s a community investment,” Mahoney said Monday evening. He had asked for community input but said he received only one phone call and that was from a former resident who wanted some of the lumber. Mahoney said he also contacted a person who

responded negatively to a story about the demolition on Sauk Valley Media’s Facebook site. He said explained the district’s safety concerns and the difficulty in properly maintaining Project PLAY. Board president Ed Smith said several options were explored before the board made its decision to remove it. Mahoney said several playground equipment manufacturers have already

been contacted for designs and cost estimates for a replacement. After school starts, he said elementary students will be asked what they want in their new playground. Benesh & Sons demolished the playground for $5,800, Mahoney said, which was a reduction from their original estimate. The demolition and the new playground will be paid for from the district’s Tort Fund.

in May and the has taken longer than anticipated. “All construction projects take time, but you want to do a quality and make sure it is done right. The fitting of the granite steps took extra time,” said Griffin. “They need to fit exactly and each step takes a process to fit correctly. These steps are a custom job and not something off the shelf.”

All that is left on the west side is to install the brass hand rails when they arrive. Currently a temporary rail is in place. Griffin said the east steps should go quicker. “The contractor knows what to expect now that the west side is complete,” he said. “The construction of the east steps are similar. They will pour concrete then put granite on top.”

Half of the courthouse steps have been replaced. Workers from Sjostrom & Sons, Rockford, replaced the deteriorating steps on the west side of the 125-year-old Ogle County Courthouse and just started the east side last week. “The entire project will cost $286,000,” said Ogle County Board Long Range Planning Chairman Don Griffin. “The steps are made of granite and will have a rough surface to prevent slipping.” Funds to pay for the project will come from the Long Range Planning Fund. The revenues in the fund come from host fees paid by garbage companies to dump in landfills in the county. Work on the project began The old steps have been removed and new steps with

Sports Column Olympics have changed since Montreal 1976 By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com It was 40 years ago this summer that fellow Rochelle grad Doyle Lang and I piled into his Ford LTD with a bunch of camping gear and headed north to the 1976 Montreal Olympics. For a couple of 18-year-olds, it was dream trip and lived up to all expectations. As the opening ceremonies of the 2016 Olympics unfolded, I reflected upon how things have changed and if an event of this magnitude is sustainable. Cost overruns for Montreal were seven times higher than the original $207 million dollar budget, but still less than what security alone costs for the Rio Olympics. Has the world we live in become too complicated to host a multi-national sports extravaganza and do the costs outweigh the benefits? It’s appears that way. Even after the Munich massacre at the 1972 Olympics, Montreal was not

an overwhelmed with security. After athletes completed a workout at a practice track, spectators could readily visit with them. Doyle and I still remember speaking with Willie Davenport, a bronze medalist in the hurdles, and how accessible he was. Security was present, but if you look at replays of track events, you can see people jumping out of the stands to give athletes flags for victory laps or occasionally running ahead of them with a flag. If a fan attempted that today, they’d probably be hauled off to a gulag or shot on the spot. Bottom line - a fan could go virtually anywhere they wanted without being strip-searched and everybody behaved quite well. The summer of ’76 was a wonderful time to be at the Olympics and the spirit of international sporting competition was a joy for athlete and fan alike. A lasting memory for me was being in the stadium for the decathlon and seeing Bruce Jenner claim a gold medal and set a world record in the process. With his rugged build, good looks and extreme athletic prowess, I thought him to be

the ultimate in manliness. There was another side to humanity that intrigued me. Our seats were close to the shot put ring and the women’s finals were going on. It was eastern European females dominating the event and from my close-up vantage point, they all looked like men, with facial hair and muscular torsos. This was before the crackdown on steroid usage and drug enhancement. The poor American girls didn’t have a chance, but they will probably end up living longer because their bodies weren’t subject to such abuse. At the shot put ring in Montreal, it was somewhat shocking to see women having characteristics of a male, but nowhere near the shock I felt decades later when Jenner went from a he to a she. With the Eastern Bloc doing all they could to give their athletes an unfair advantage, it

only intensified the Cold War mystique of the USA going against the “Commies” on the playing field. As the leader of the free world, it was our responsibility to also show superiority to the bad guys. The competition between the United States and the Soviet Union was extremely intense. There was a rush of patriotic fervor anytime the Star-Spangled Banner was played for an American gold medal at the ’76 Games. Take that Ruskies, and by the way, we beat you to the moon, too. Because of America’s sense of pride in beating the Russians, hate-filled racism was even cast aside in the name of patriotism. Track and field was the focal point of competition between the two world powers and to exert any kind of opposition to Russia, we needed our black sprinters, jumpers and hurdlers.

Anytime an AfricanAmerican won a medal for our country at the ’76 Games, it was a blow to the Communist Bloc. Though I have romanticized my experience at the 1976 Olympics, there is one positive from today that speaks to sexism of years past. The number of women who have the opportunity to compete in the Rio Games dwarfs that of 40 years ago and that is progress. Watching athletes, coaches and officials from over 200 countries march into the stadium for Rio’s opening ceremonies gave me hope that civility and spiritual fellowship in this world is still possible. That is more uplifting than any one athletic event. Forty years from now, will the 2056 Olympics take place? Maybe a better question is will any city be willing the bear the burden of hosting them even a few short years from

Andy Colbert

now? If the Olympics eventually go by the wayside, it will be crushing blow to the spirit of international athletic competition and camaraderie among nations. But, its demise would be completely understandable considering the exorbitant costs, security concerns, drug scandals and corruption of its officials.

Rodeo clown keeps it fun while keeping cowboys safe By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com From class clown to rodeo clown. That was the journey for one man at the Big Hat Rodeo. “I was a class clown and felt a calling,” said Shane Jorgenson, Cameron, Wisconsin, who was in Oregon for the Ogle County Fair. “One thing leads to another and here I am. It is fun being a clown.” He tries to add his own brand of humor to being a rodeo clown, but the most

important aspect of being a clown is the safety of the cowboys. “People remember the clown, if cowboys got hurt, and if they were entertained,” Jorgenson said. “My ultimate goal is to be safe and keep everyone safe. When that goal is reached we can have fun.” Jorgenson stood by his trailer looking into a small mirror while beginning the process of applying the makeup for the show. He said every night he applies the same design, not because of a desire to be

the same, but because then he only needs to remember how to do the makeup one way. “You see, coloring in school paid off for me,” Jorgenson joked. At the fair Jorgenson was going to demonstrate Roman Riding. This is a technique where the rider rides two horses at a time stands up with a foot on each horse. Being a clown forces a change in the act. Jorgenson acts like he has never ridden before and requires assistance to be shown how to ride. It worked Friday night and the full grandstands laughed and cheered for the performance. In the end, the laughter and smiling faces is what makes it fun for Jorgenson. “The reason I love this is because fairs are a happy place filled with happy people,” he said. “It is fun to be around happy people.” The horses used in the show are some of the best trained horses around, Jorgenson said. “Everyone loves horses, but to ride them you have to love your horse,” he said. “If you love them then they will love you back for sure and Rodeo clown Shane Jorgenson, Cameron, Wisconsin, rides two horses Friday night help put on a good show.” while demonstrating Roman Riding during the Big Hat Rodeo.

Visitors try blacksmithing at 2016 Hammer In The forge was with them at John Deere Site By Earleen Hinton ehinton@oglecounty news.com A twist here and a whack there were just part of the path Lauren Ditmars followed en route to making her own screwdriver while working where John Deere made history 179 years ago by developing the first selfcleaning steel plow. It didn’t matter to Ditmars that the creation of her screwdriver may pale in comparison to Deere’s accomplishment—she was excited. “I definitely enjoyed making it,” said the smiling 17-year-old from Byron who will attend the University of Illinois this fall. “I’ve always had the idea of doing this, but this is the first time I was able to experience doing it.” Ditmars was one of several visitors who waited in line to try blacksmithing at the Upper Midwest Blacksmith Association (UMBA) instructional tent at the John Deere Historic Site’s Hammer In Aug. 6-7 in Grand Detour. She was all eyes and ears as Andy Svoboda, a blacksmith from Brodhead, Wisconsin, explained and then demonstrated how to angle the small piece of iron and add the artistic twist. “You need to get that spot there more flat. Let me see if I can get the right hammer to do that,” he said before walking to nearby tool chests. Ditmars nodded and then took her soon-to-bescrewdriver and hammered it on the anvil. UMBA blacksmiths worked at several forges in front of the “Be on the Other Side of the Anvil” banner helping visitors to craft their own metal keepsakes. Some wore clever T-shirts with crafty sayings like “May the Forge Be With You” and “Jokes on You Santa. I Wanted Coal.”

“We wanted to try something new this year,” said Rick Trahan, the site’s resident blacksmith. “This has been very popular.” Brothers Will and Levi Lawhorn, from Rochelle, were busy taking turns at an anvil as blacksmith Rock Meed, of Clinton, Iowa, supervised. “It is harder to do than it looks,” said Will, age 19. “It takes a lot of patience,” added his 12-year-old brother Levi. Aidan Cooper, age 12, from St. Petersburg, Florida, didn’t mind waiting as the metal piece he was working on turned red in the forge under the watchful eye of blacksmith Gene Whisman, Kirkland. “We are here for a wedding in Dixon. This is neat,” he said smiling. Ditmars had a bit more work to do on her screwdriver after leaving the tent. “We’re going to put it resin so we have a handle,” she said. The John Deere Historic Site held its first Hammer In event in 2004. Hammer In events have been hosted at the site every other year since in an effort to celebrate the trade as well as the history and legacy of the company’s founder. About the John Deere Historic Site The John Deere Historic Site in Grand Detour is the original Illinois homestead of John Deere and is the location where he built his first commercially successful “self-polishing” steel plow. The Historic Site was designated as a Registered National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service, and a Historic Landmark of Agricultural Engineering by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers. The home Deere built still stands and is now accompanied by a replicated blacksmith shop, an exhibit of Deere’s original tools unearthed during an archeological dig, and a visitor center and gift shop. In the atmosphere of a friendly 19th century village, informed tour guides provide an entertaining and

Oregon driver facility gets new security upgrades Central issuance process begins Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White’s Inspector General Jim Burns visited the Oregon Driver Services Facility recently to discuss security upgrades to the design of driver’s licenses and ID cards, as well as the transition to a more secure central issuance process. The Oregon facility implemented the central issuance process last month. With implementation of these changes, Illinois has moved closer to achieving full REAL ID compliance, which is a federal mandate

of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Applicants visiting Driver Services facilities no longer are issued a new permanent driver’s license or ID card at the end of the application process. Instead, they leave the facility with a temporary secure paper driver’s license, which is valid for 45 days and serves as their driver’s license or ID card for driving purposes and proof of identification. The temporary, secure paper driver’s license or ID card contains a photo and the basic information that appears on the permanent driver’s license or ID card.

In addition, the facility employee returns the old driver’s license or ID card back to the applicant after punching a hole in it. Meanwhile, the applicant’s information is sent to a centralized, secure facility in Illinois. After fraud checks have been conducted to ensure the applicant’s identity, a higher quality, more secure driver’s license or ID card is printed and sent via U.S. mail within 15 business days to the applicant’s address. “These changes are necessary for Illinois to be REAL ID compliant,” said White. “In addition, the changes further enhance our

efforts to protect Illinoisans from fraud and identity theft. The upgraded driver’s license and ID card contain a variety of enhanced security features that take advantage of new developments in technology.” “These important changes benefit the public and are strongly supported by the Secretary of State’s Safe ID Task Force,” said Burns, who serves as chairman of the task force. “Central issuance provides better fraud and identity theft prevention by allowing the office to investigate possible fraud before applicants receive their driver’s license or ID card in the mail. “In addition, the design

An Oregon man was ticketed last week after a three-vehicle crash on Interstate 39 two miles north of Ill. 64. Illinois State Police said Quentin L. Snook, 31,

Oregon, was issued a ticket Aug. 4 for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. Police said a motorcycle driven by Brian K. Mathis, 60, Beloit, Wisconsin, and a van driven by Carol B.

Batton, 61, Yorkville, were stopped for construction in the northbound lane of I39, when a car driven by Snook failed to slow and struck the motorcycle in the rear, pushing it into the van.

The crash occurred at 4:31 p.m. According to the crash report, Mathis was transported to OSF St. Anthony Medical Center, Rockford, for nonincapacitating injuries.

of the driver’s license or ID card has been upgraded with important features that over-the-counter technology simply cannot produce. The centralized, secure facility utilizes high-tech

manufacturing equipment capable of printing cards incorporating state-of-theart security features. These types of anti-counterfeiting security features help prevent and deter fraud.”

Watch for children in school zones Speed limit is 20 mph during school hours Captain Mark Karczewski, Illinois State Police (ISP) District 1 Commander, reminds motorists that area schools will soon open their doors and begin the new school year. The start of the school year means an increase in pedestrian and vehicular

traffic around schools. Motorists need to be watchful for children walking and riding their bike to school and children darting out from between parked cars. Motorists also need to be on the lookout for slowing and stopped school buses. As parents drop off their children before school and pick them up after school, there will also be an increase in vehicle traffic during the morning and evening

commute. Extra travel time should be planned to allow for the increase in traffic. Motorists are reminded to watch their speed in school zones and limit their distractions. The speed limit in school zones is 20 m.p.h. and is in effect from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. when children are present. Motorists should refrain from talking on cell phones in a school zone and are reminded that it is illegal to

text while driving. Motorists approaching a stopped school bus with lights activated and sign extended must stop their vehicle before reaching the school bus. Failure to do so can result in a $150 fine and the suspension of your driver’s license for three months. Also remember that pedestrians have the rightof-way in a crosswalk.

Astrograph Temptation will be costly.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 2016 LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Fix whatever is broken and get your chores out of the way in order to avoid complaints. You will feel able to pamper yourself without guilt once you have taken care of your responsibilities.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Avoid emotional situations. Don’t let anyone back you into a corner. Walk away from anyone putting pressure on you or trying to coax you into doing something that doesn’t feel right.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Speak up. You may not like the response you get, but it will help you put things in perspective. If someone is being pushy or forceful with you, back away.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will have a bird’s-eye view of a situation that could help or hinder your plans. Use this opportunity to maneuver your way to success.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t rely on others to take on your responsibilities. Expect to be questioned if you aren’t forthcoming about your intentions and motives. It’s best to deal with matters quickly and efficiently. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Share your feelings and find out exactly where you stand. Make choices that will encourage a happy home life. Getting along with the people you deal with regularly will enhance your life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t lose sight of the things in life that make you happy. Regroup and set your priorities straight. Where there is a will, there is a way. Use your imagination and experiment. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Keep your emotions under control. If you are too verbal or aggressive, you will end up being isolated. If you want to get ahead, you’ll have to be a team player.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You’ll gain valuable information if you discuss your financial, legal or medical concerns with an expert. It’s best to know your rights before stepping into battle. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Share your thoughts with people who can contribute to your plans. Don’t offer too much in return. Size up your situation, delegate tasks and stay in control. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Limitations and frustration will set in if you give someone the benefit of the doubt. Don’t believe everything you hear. You are best off playing it safe. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Move forward with confidence. Trust in your ideas and bring about subtle changes that will position you for a brighter future at home and work.
