Unwrapping of statue shows more damage Fundraising continues to repair landmark By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The unwrapping of the Black Hawk statue June 1 revealed that the beloved landmark has deteriorated in the last 18 months. “Under the left elbow it’s worse. And the front where the leg is — that’s in dire condition,” said Karly Spell, a member of the Oregon Together Black Hawk Restoration Team. She also pointed out cracks near the head of the statue and on the left shoulder that weren’t apparent before. Oregon Mayor Ken Williams agreed. “The right shoulder looks worse, too,” he said. Keith Niles, the supervisor of the crew from Quality Restorations Inc., of Wood Dale, said the tarps and the padding underneath did their job by keeping moisture away from the statue. “It’s nice and dry under there,” he said, shortly after the wraps came off. Sculptor Lorado Taft created the 48-foot concrete statue as a tribute to Native Americans in 1910. It was unveiled and dedicated in 1911. Taft called his statue the Eternal Indian, but it has been

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2009, the concrete statue needs repairs due to the ravages of weather and time. The right elbow on the statue is just one of the areas needing repairs. Over the years, despite numerous repair efforts, parts of the statue have crumbled and fallen off. Winter weather has been especially devastating. An examination in 2014 revealed that the most damaged areas are the folded arms of the statue, especially the elbows and underneath the arms; the middle of the robe; and the vertical fold in the robe from armpit to toe. Black Hawk was named to the state’s list of Most Endangered Historic Places in 2015 by Landmarks Illinois. The Black Hawk Restoration Team was formed several months ago to continue previous fundraising efforts to pay for the statue’s repairs. A estimated $500,000 is needed to complete the repair process started in 2014 by the Friends of the Black Hawk Statue.

Five area residents were arrested last week on drug charges after a threemonth investigation involving several law enforcement agencies into an event held at a Polo bar. Ogle County Sheriff’s Police arrested Spencer J. DeCrane, 21, of Polo, and Dix- Trevor Crawford on residents Trevor C. Crawford, 24, Emma C. Lantz, 22, Nicholas D. Durham, 30, Nathaniel C. Mason, 20, all on charges of delivery of a controlled Spencer DeCrane substance. Crawford and Lantz are charged with delivery of LSD, while DeCrane, Durham, and Mason are charged with delivery Nicholas Durham of cocaine. Sheriff Brian VanVickle said Tuesday that the arrests stemmed from an event that drew a Emma Lantz large crowd on Feb. 17 at the Polo Room, 712 N. Division Ave., Polo. “Multiple undercover officers were in the bar and purchased drugs from the Nathaniel Mason suspects and also witnessed unaccompanied minors in the bar and open drug use,” VanVickle said. The Ogle County Sheriff’s Department was assisted by the Polo Police Department, Dixon Police Department, and the Stateline Area Narcotics Team (SLANT), which consists of officers from the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department, Loves Park Police Department, Rockford Police Department, Illinois State Police, and the Monroe, Wisconsin Police Department.

Newsstand copies will be distributed on Thursday to retail outlets and news boxes. “Content and our commitment to the communities we serve will not change,” said Sauk Valley Media General Manager Jennifer Heintzelman.

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.

The White Stockings owner Hulbert signed pitcher Albert Spalding and infielders Ross Barnes, Decan White, and Adrian Anson to join the team for the N.L.’s first season. Spalding won 45 games, and Barnes led the league in hitting at .429 as Chicago’s Cubs won the first ever National League pennant, which at that time was the game’s top prize.

After playing for the White Stockings for a couple of seasons and getting into a management role, he decided he liked managing even more and ended his career as a player. In addition to managing he served as part owner and president of the club. Retiring from the game in 1876, Spalding and his brother Walter, obtained the right to produce the official National League baseball, which the

Spalding Company would continue to produce for the next 100 years. The same year they opened A. G. Spalding and Bros, the Chicago sporting goods store that would grow into a chain over the next 25 years. By 1901 the chain had grown from three to 14 stores. The chain store slogan was “Quality First”. In 1939 he was elected posthumously into the Baseball Hall of Fame, which recognized
him as “organizational genius of baseball’s pioneer days.” So in this area we have Major League pitcher Nelson Potter from Mt.

Dear Editor, The White Oak Cemetery Improvement Committee is planning another work session on repairing head stones sometime in June with Jim Blackburn as contractor. We will be working mainly with older stones such as 1800s. Many are just leaning over or broken in the middle. We can do repairs only as long as the money lasts. If anyone has a loved one whose head stone has a problem that needs attention, we can try to work something out. Call Lloyd Wubbena for details at 815-238-2913. Remember, this cemetery represents our heritage and our ancestors. Also our veterans from many wars. We will protect perpetual care! Donations can be made at the Forreston State Bank, Box 278, Forreston IL 61030 or see Sue Engelkens at the bank. All checks must have Improvement Committee on them.

$350,000 finally approved by state legislature Mouse was the only unhappy camper June 1 By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com There was one unhappy camper when the black plastic tarps came off the Black Hawk statue Friday morning at Lowden State Park. A startled mouse scrambled for cover under the landmark’s folded arms as the protective wrap slid to the ground after workers loosened the nylon ropes holding it on. However, the mouse was definitely the only one with a negative reaction. The 20 or so onlookers sent up a collective cheer as the tarps fell off. “This is an exciting, historical day,” said Jan Stilson, chairman of the Oregon Together Black Hawk Restoration Team, as she watched the crew from Quality Restorations, Inc., of Wood Dale, remove the ropes and anchors from the first tarp, which covered the statue’s head. Oregon Mayor Ken Williams was part of the crowd watching the unveiling. “It’s fantastic,” he said. “He’s looking back at the Sauk Valley and Oregon again. It’s very exciting.” Grant Afflerbaugh, site superintendent at Lowden, was also pleased. “I’m very happy to have the cover off,” he said. “Now the visitors can come and see the statue again. We’ve been getting a lot of phone calls about it. People have not been coming up because it’s covered up.” The statue, which ordinarily draws thousands of visitors each year, has been shrouded in the black tarps since the QRI crew wrapped it in November of 2016 to protect it from the winter weather. For two years prior to that it was enclosed inside scaffolding covered with green plastic mesh. The IDNR missed the promised May unwrapping by only a day, and that was because of a rain delay. The tarps were scheduled to come off May 30, but that had
to be postponed due to storms. “We waited so long for this, and then it came so quickly, it took us by surprise,” Stilson said. “It’s so much good news all at once.” Another piece of good news came on May 31 when State Rep. Tom Demmer (R-Dixon) announced that long-promised funding for repairs to the 107-year-old concrete monument have finally been approved by the state legislature. “Today the House passed HB109, which includes a balanced budget for fiscal year 2019 as well as a capital budget for projects across the state,” Demmer said. “I am very excited to announce that the capital budget includes funding of $350,000 for the restoration of the Eternal Indian statue in Lowden State Park.” “This is the reappropriation of a commitment that was made in 2009, and it was never paid,” said Demmer, who was the chief co-sponsor of the bill and voted yes. “I’m pleased that after all these years, the state has finally made good on its commitment to this landmark.” The State Senate had okayed the $38.5 billion budget late May 30, and Gov. Bruce Rauner signed it on June 4. The money can be released when the new fiscal year starts July 1. The Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity will fund the grant which will go to the llinois Department of Natural Resources.

Repairs may cost more than anticipated, she said, “and then there’s maintenance.” Checks can be sent to Oregon Together Black Hawk Team, Pieces of the left arm and elbow can be seen on the Black Hawk Statue.

Sports Column Highlights of the 2017-2018 sports season By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Time to put a wrap on the 2017-18 high-school sports season, take the summer off and come back in August for another go-around. Each year, I tell myself to keep notes of what transpired so as to give an insightful recap. As usual, that went by the wayside and you will be getting random thoughts instead. What stood out most from covering Forreston, Oregon and Polo? And, a little bit of Byron and Winnebago. The first thing that comes to mind was the football played between Forreston and LenaWinslow. All of us so-called prognosticators penciled the Cardinals in as the 1A state champs before the season began.
With good reason, as the bulk of a 2016 statechampionship team returned, including 3-year starters at the skill positions. That kind of firepower is rare at the 1A level and generally enough to defend a state title. What that formula failed to take into account was how superior the Panthers’ line play would be and that proved to be the difference. Even with huge losses to graduation, don’t underestimate Forreston. They will remain one of the better teams in the state. The most impressive play I saw in football came from Byron sophomore lineman Tyler Elsbury who simultaneously knocked down three Oregon defenders. Credit to Byron for taking private-school power Elmhurst Immaculate Conception to the brink in a heart-breaking semifinal loss. Also impressive was a Tiger roster with over 40 varsity kids on it. Hard to find that kind of participation in today’s world of prep football. Just ask Polo, whose decision
Not only was it a chance to see how this scenario would play out, but also offered me the chance to socialize.
to begin playing 8-man ball created much attention from fans and media alike. Volleyball, Softball Fever Besides the excitement of Forreston football, I caught volleyball fever last fall. That came during Oregon’s run to the sectional. If I had to pick a female athlete of the year, it would by 3-sport athlete Gylian Finch. She led Oregon to what potentially could have been a trip downstate in volleyball. The girls were good enough, but so too was everyone else at the sectional. The top female sporting event witnessed was the thrilling 1110 loss by Forreston to Dakota in the softball regional final. It also takes top honors as most heart wrenching. On a personal note, coming back to an empty house in January after dropping my wife off to live in Utah was an odd feeling. What buoyed my spirits was covering basketball games at small towns like Ashton, Forreston, Milledgeville, Oregon and Polo.
Andy Colbert
Just like seeing the farmers in the field in the spring while I’m out running the country roads, there is a sense of comfort in going to a highschool gym in the dead of winter. Polo’s quest for success particularly intrigued me, as they have now have six straight 20-win seasons, but nary a regional title to show for it. It was with anticipation that I headed out on Pines Road for games there.
What About 2018-19? Looking ahead to 201819, one of the huge questions is far Polo’s highly touted senior class will take them in basketball. Without a doubt, my favorite athlete to watch was AJ Christensen of Forreston. We sung his praises enough here already, but his efforts in football against Le-Win in the semis and hurdling his way to glory were things of artistry. My male athlete of the year goes to Reid Taylor of Polo. Though not as talented as AJ, Reid competes with a heart just as big and he did it in football, basketball, baseball and track. Plus, it had to be a lot harder playing football for a shorthanded Polo team compared to Forreston and its large supporting cast. Another senior that bears mentioning is Ian Hussung of Oregon, he of middle-distance running fame.
It is rare to have a kid come in as a freshman and totally commit to make running a No. 1 priority. Ian did it humbly and left his mark among the best ever to come out of a tradition rich program at Oregon. What did Winnebago’s boys basketball team and Forreston’s baseball team have in common? Winnebago & Cardinals Both saw their post-season dreams come to and end by schools with a much greater competitive advantage. Chicago Orr was public and Aurora Christian was private, but both should have been up a class or two. It didn’t seem fair. Some may have said that about Newman being 1A in basketball, but that’s not completely true. With Eastland taking Newman to overtime in the regional, the invincibility argument lacked credence. Not so with Orr or AC. Kudos to Forreston’s pitching and defense for keeping the super-sectional tied as long as they did.

Filmmaker needs help making nightmare come true Portion of film to be shot at White Pines State Park By Gavin Jensen gjensen@saukvalley.com It was a little something extra that got a Walnut man hooked on making movies. Now, he’s looking to return the favor. Independent filmmaker Aaron Rahn, 41, is writing, directing and producing an indie horror comedy, “A Horrorable Nightmare,” and he’s looking for some local talent to help make the movie. Rahn needs extras, makeup artists and people to play supporting roles – and who knows, maybe one of the people he hires will be a future
filmmaker. That’s how Rahn started out. He got a taste of what it’s like to make an independent film in 2015, when his house was used as a filming location for the movie “Cellar Secret,” which was directed by Michael Wade Johnson. “I answered an ad looking for a basement to shoot an indie film in and they ended up using most of our house,” Rahn said. Rahn, his wife, Heather, 32, and daughter, Alexia, 12, also were extras in the film, which really kickstarted his hunger for the film industry. “From there I started answering casting calls for extras and background actors,” he said. “One of my favorite experiences was last fall, when I was an extra for the [2018]
film ‘Widows’ directed by Steve McQueen.” These days, he’s getting behind the camera, as writer, director and producer of “A Horrorable Nightmare,” which follows the adventures of man determined not to break a deal he made with Death. “I am a huge horror fan, but I didn’t want just another slasher flick, so I’m adding some silliness into it,” he said. “I started thinking about the ‘Scary Movie’ franchise and the ‘Naked Gun’ movies and the story started to come to life,” Rahn said. Rahn has landed a few known actors, such as Kelli Maroney (Cindy in “Fast Times and Ridgemont High” and TV’s “Ryan’s Hope” and “One Life to Live”), Ernie Reyes Jr. (who had roles in the movies “The

Last Dragon,” “Red Sonja” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II,” among others) and William McNamaran (whose credits include TV’s “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” “NYPD Blue” and numerous movies). Filming will begin Aug. 1 and last two weeks. Rahn said he’s going to need about 40 extras each day.
Part of the movie will be shot at White Pines Forest State Park between Oregon and Polo. “I needed a place with a lot of trees that would also have a cabin or house. I reached out to White Pines, after being denied permission to use a park in Princeton,” he said. The only stipulation was that Rahn would have to rent a
cabin in which to film. He’ll also shoot scenes at Sinnissippi Park in Sterling. Rahn has high hopes for “A Horrorable Nightmare,” betting that it could even develop a cult following. “I think the movie has the potential to gain a huge following, similar to the ‘Sharknado’ and ‘Evil Dead’ films,” he said..

Adjustment re-establishes food source for official state insect
From B3 “By cutting down on mowing, we’ve created acres of ideal habitat for pollinators to flourish on Illinois roadsides,” said Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn. “With minimal impact to the motoring public, we are honoring our commitment to act as stewards of the
environment and protect the long-term health of our state’s ecosystem.” The new mowing policy adjusted mowing frequency and timing as well as limiting the use of herbicides on state rights of way. Except for certain areas, crews now mow 15 feet beyond the edge of the road.

Tips offered on avoiding tick and mosquito-borne illnesses As the weather warms up, we’re starting to see ticks and mosquitoes. The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) is reminding people about simple precautions they can take to avoid bites. “Ticks can carry diseases like Lyme disease, spotted fever, and ehrlichiosis, while mosquitoes can carry West Nile
virus,� said Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Director Nirav D. Shah, M.D., J.D. “These diseases can cause anywhere from mild to severe illness, and even death in some cases. To protect yourself from both, use insect repellent that contains DEET and follow some simple precautions.� According to the Center for Disease Control and
Prevention, disease cases from mosquito, tick, and flea bites have tripled in the U.S. during the 13 years from 2004 through 2016. Reported cases from mosquito and tick bites in Illinois have increased by more than half (58%) from 2005 to 2016. Ticks Many tick-borne diseases
have similar symptoms. The most common symptoms can include fever, chills, aches and pains, and rash. Within two weeks following a tick bite, if you experience a rash that looks like a bull’seye or a rash anywhere on your body, or an unexplained illness accompanied by fever, contact your doctor. Early recognition and
treatment of the infection decreases the risk of serious complications. Tell your health care provider the geographic area in which you were bitten or traveled to help identify the disease based on ticks in that region. A fairly new virus called Bourbon virus has been associated with tick bites and has been found in a limited
number of cases in the Midwest and southern U.S. People diagnosed with Bourbon virus disease have symptoms including fever, fatigue, rash, headache, other body aches, nausea, and vomiting. They also had low blood counts for cells that fight infection and help prevent bleeding. Turn to B6

Tips offered on avoiding ticks, mosquito-borne illnesses From B5 Some people who were infected later died. Ticks are commonly found on the tips of grasses and shrubs. Ticks crawl. They cannot fly or jump. The tick will wait in the grass or shrub for a person or animal to walk by and then quickly climb aboard. Some ticks will attach quickly and others will wander, looking for places like the ear, or other areas where the skin is thinner. Simple tips to avoid ticks bites include: • Wear light-colored, protective clothing—longsleeved shirts, pants, boots or sturdy shoes, and a head covering. Treat clothing with products containing 0.5 percent permethrin. • Apply insect repellent that contains 20 percent or more DEET, picaridin, or IR3535 on exposed skin for protection
that lasts several hours. • Walk in the center of trails so grass, shrubs, and weeds do not brush against you. • Check yourself, children, other family members, and pets for ticks every two to three hours. • Remove any tick promptly by grasping it with tweezers, as close to the skin as possible and gently, but firmly, pulling it straight out. Wash your hands and the tick bite site with soap and water. Mosquitoes The most common mosquitoborne illness in Illinois is West Nile virus. West Nile virus is transmitted through the bite of an infected Culex pipiens, or “house” mosquito. Mild cases of West Nile virus infections may cause a slight fever or headache. More severe infections are marked by a rapid onset of a high fever with head and body
• REDUCE - make sure doors and windows have tightfitting screens. Repair or replace screens that have tears or other openings. Try to keep doors and windows shut. Eliminate, or refresh each week, all sources of standing water where mosquitoes can breed, including water in bird baths, ponds, flowerpots, wading pools, old tires, and any other containers. aches, disorientation, tremors, convulsions and, in the most severe cases, paralysis or death. Symptoms usually occur from 3 to 14 days after the bite of an infected mosquito. However, four out of five people infected with West Nile virus will not show any symptoms. People older than 50 are at higher risk for severe illness from West Nile Virus. There are some simple

• REPEL - when outdoors, wear shoes and socks, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt, and apply insect repellent that contains DEET, picaridin,
oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR 3535, according to label instructions. Consult a physician before using repellents on infants. • REPORT – report locations where you see water sitting stagnant for more than a week such as roadside ditches, flooded yards, and similar locations that may produce mosquitoes. The local health department or city government may be able to add larvicide to the water, which will kill any mosquito eggs. Additional information about ticks and mosquitoes can be found on the IDPH website.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You will need lots of information to make the right decision, so find it! Know your limitations and don’t fold under pressure. Walk away from anyone looking for a fight. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You are smart, energetic and capable of fending for yourself, so don’t let someone take advantage of you by passing on an exaggerated offer that isn’t likely to pan out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You’ve got the willpower, discipline and wherewithal to bring about change that will improve your life. Don’t let someone from your past lead you astray or cause you any distress.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Make changes at home that will expand your interests. A space you can set aside for something you enjoy doing will motivate you to turn a hobby into a home business. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Let your emotions lead the way, even if someone is difficult to deal with. If you dig into a pending problem, someone will disclose the information you need to move forward. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don’t make personal changes just yet. Give yourself time to figure out a plan that will ensure your success. Acting in haste will set you back. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t trust anyone to handle your responsibilities for you. If you make a change to the way you do things, you’ll find it easier to finish what you start.
