IDNR approves plan for repairs Work to begin soon on Black Hawk Statue

By Vinde Wells Editor The waiting is over and repairs to the Black Hawk statue can now begin.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) has given its blessing to a plan to repair the damage the 103-year-old statue has suffered from weather and time. “It’s my understanding that the IDNR has approved the plan,� said Frank Rausa, Sterling, on Tuesday. “Now all that’s left to do is issuing contracts. We’re making progress.�

Rausa is a member of the Friends of the Black Hawk Statue, the organization spear-heading restoration efforts and fundraising for the project.

The Illinois Historic Preservation Agency (IHPA) gave its approval to the plan last week.

Approval from both agencies was needed for the work to move forward.

The IDNR’s approval was required because the statue, which overlooks the

Rock River from a high bluff at Lowden State Park near Oregon, is under that agency’s jurisdiction.

The IDNR received a $350,000 grant for the project from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

Because the statue has landmark status, the IHPA also had to sign off. Black Hawk has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2009.

Created by sculptor Lorado Taft in 1910 as a tribute to all Native Americans, the statue draws thousands of visitors each year. It was unveiled in 1911.

Testing and evaluations done last fall and this spring

by Thornton Tomasetti, Chicago, an architectural firm that provides engineering design, investigation, and analysis services to clients worldwide, showed that three areas of the statue greatly need repairs.

Chunks of the concrete have fallen from the folded arms of the statue, and more areas are loose and ready to fall.

Preparation work began in mid-July when a crew removed the bushes and limestone blocks from around The Black Hawk Statue has a different look after a cedar tree and the bushes the base of the statue and put surrounding the statue were removed. Work to restore the statue should Turn to A2 begin soon. Photo by Chris Johnson

Construction workers started putting up the steel framework of the new Ogle County Sheriff’s administration building early last

week.

The official groundbreaking ceremony for the $4.1 million project has been set for Tuesday, Aug. 19 at 4:30 p.m. at 103 Jefferson St., Oregon.

Located on the same property where the present sheriff’s office is, the new building will house the sheriff’s department, 911

communications center, and the coroner’s office and morgue.

Excavation on the site began early this spring. The new sheriff’s office is expected to be ready for use by early next year.

The building was designed by Saavedra Gehlhausen Architects, Rockford, and Rockford Structures is the general contractor.

The new one-story building will be situated to the east of the present 100-year-old three-story building.

The old morgue was torn down to make way for the new building, and the present sheriff’s office will be demolished once construction is complete.

The area where the current building is will be used for parking.

By Vinde Wells Editor A Chicago woman critically injured in a motorcycle crash that claimed the lives of her husband and another man Aug. 3 is improving.

Rosarita Gonzalez, 52, has been upgraded from critical to serious condition, said a spokesman for OSF St. Anthony Medical Center, Rockford, on Tuesday.

Gonzalez was a passenger on a motorcycle driven by Michael Gonzalez, 50, Chicago.

The couple was riding with a group of at least 30 motorcycles on Ill. 64 less than a mile east of Mt. Morris.

Ogle County Sheriff’s Police said the Gonzalez’s motorcycle was westbound, attempted to pass other westbound traffic, and pulled into the eastbound lane of travel where it collided nearly head-on with an eastbound motorcycle driven by Richard Zimmerman, 67, Lanark.

Michael Gonzalez and Zimmerman were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.

Rosarita Gonzalez was airlifted to the hospital by Life Flight helicopter.

A portion of the road was closed to traffic for two and one-half hours after the crash, which remains under investigation.

A recent double-fatality involving two motorcycles has raised questions for some area motorists on the legality of motorcycles riding in packs.

The Illinois Motorcycle Operator Manual published by Jesse White, Secretary of State, outlines the laws for cyclists.

On page 32 of the publication, it is recommended to divide a pack into smaller groups and suggests riders should be staggered in a zig zag formation, not side by side.

Sergeant Michael Kuehl, Illinois State Police (ISP) District 1 Interim Administrative Officer, confirmed there is no law against pack riding. “There are no laws restricting the number of motorcycles in a pack,� he wrote in an email about motorcycle safety.

Motorcycle riders follow many of the same laws as other motorists on the roads.

Drivers following a motorcycle should always be extra aware of motorcycles, but motorcycles also need to be aware of the automobiles and drive extra defensively, he wrote.

There are signs around the county advising motorists to start seeing motorcycles, but all motorists need to pay attention to everyone on the road, he added.

Distracted driving has become a Turn to A2

Repairs approved for statue up a fence around it.

Scaffolding was delivered to the site late last week.

Rausa said a special stairs are still needed for the scaffolding.

Once that is secured and the scaffolding is in place, the repair team will begin doing “mock-ups� or testing

various mixtures of concrete and other materials to see which one will work the best to restore the damaged areas.

A rededication ceremony will be held once the work is done, probably next July.

So far, approximately $725,000 has been raised toward the repairs.

Rausa said an additional $75,000 to $100,000 will

likely be needed to complete the project.

To donate, checks can be made out to the Illinois Conservation Foundation and marked for the Black Hawk Statue.

Donations can be mailed to Illinois Conservation Foundation, One Natural Resources Way, Springfield IL 62702.

From A1 contributing cause to several accidents, according to Kuehl. “Motor vehicle crashes due to distracted driving are definitely on the rise,� he wrote.

Cell phones are one of the major causes of distracted drivers and a law is on the books requiring cell phone use to be hands free. “The ISP aggressively enforces the new distracted driving laws,� Kuehl wrote. “I would add that hands-free cell phone use means just that... ‘hand-free’. Holding the phone in your hand with the speaker phone on does not count and when a call is made.�

A phone needs to be onetouch dialing.

According to Kuehl, holding the phone and scrolling through contacts to find the number is unlawful.

Also illegal is holding the phone and scrolling through a list of music, tuning into a streaming radio program or reading a map.

The phone can not be in the driver’s hand, he wrote.

Another piece of advice Kuehl had for motorists is to maintain space between vehicles.

“Extra space should always be given, whether it is a motorcycle or not,� he wrote. “We see far too many drivers who follow too closely. Following too closely is unlawful so if the driver rear-ends the vehicle in front of them because the front vehicle had to stop suddenly, it is likely the following vehicle will be issued a citation.�

In Illinois motorcyclists are not required to wear a helmet, but the ISP recommends all riders wear protective body wear including helmets boots, gloves and reflective clothing. “Our motorcycle officers wear helmets and consider helmets to be an added safety measure,� Kuehl wrote.

Motorcycle safety classes are also offered throughout northern Illinois.

On weekends courses can be spotted in parking lots where classes are being held.

One interesting fact Kuehl provided is that there is no age limit for motorcycle passengers. This means any child can be a passenger on a motorcycle without a helmet.

The laws for vehicles require child seats and booster seats. This is not required for a motorcycle passenger.

Motorcyclists are also allowed to use hand signals when riding. “Hand signals are a perfectly legal way to signal on a motorcycle,� Kuehl wrote. “I see motorcycle drivers use them with some regularity.�

An arm out straight to the left is a left turn, an arm at a 90 degree angle out and up is a right turn, and an arm at a 90 degree angle out and down is for stopping.

These are legal ways to signal in any vehicle, including bicycles, without taillights or turn signals.

Some of the most common mistakes (Illinois Vehicle Code Violations) which could lead to motorcycle accidents include: s 3PEEDING OVER THE statutory limit, s 3QUEALING SCREECHING tires, s )MPROPER LANE USAGE ON roadway, s /PERATING A MOTORCYCLE with alcohol and or drug impairment, s )MPROPER PASSING ON shoulder, s )MPROPER RIDING OF motorcycle, s $ISOBEYING A STOP SIGN OR yield intersection, s &OLLOWING TOO CLOSELY

An eye exam is a good idea, especially if things are starting to look a little fuzzy around the edges.

Serving the Oregon area since 1851 The Oregon Republican Reporter is published weekly by Ogle County Newspapers, a division of the B.F. Shaw Printing Co. 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 of Dixon, publisher of the Sauk Valley Newspapers.

Ogle County Newspapers also prints the Mt. Morris Times, Forreston Journal, and Polo's Tri-County Press.

1888 advertising campaign launched for tourists Ganymede Spring was one attraction 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 part of a series of the articles he has written.

By Otto Dick In 1888 a group of Oregon merchants launched an advertising campaign and got the CB&Q interested in promoting Oregon as a summer resort.

The railroad planted pines and evergreen trees along the Narrows. This was a walking path on the eastside of the river leading to Ganymede Spring.

About that same time they improved Ganymede Spring.

They built wooden steps from the spring to the top of the bluff with seats to rest at intervals.

They also built a large pavilion on Margaret Fuller Island.

Nicholas Sauer said as a result they had lots of people come here and camp for a week or two.

Nicholas was in the hardware business and kept tents and dishes for rent to campers.

He also said that these advertisements and improvements could have been responsible for bringing Mr. Heckman, the Artist Colony, Strong, Lowden, and many others to Oregon.

A 32-page brochure titled “An Inimitable Summer Resort” was issued.

It read “Come to Oregon, Ogle County, Illinois on the Burlington Route , 99 miles from Chicago and reached from that point twice per day, in less than four hours: with good and ample hostelries, numbers of springs gushing forth pure, health giving water, a beautiful river, towering hills, massive rocks and rolling prairie, — one can well imagine that all the popular and interesting resorts of the continent have

been merged together to be enjoyed at this delightful place.”

The front of another brochure published in 1924 titled “Oregon the Gem of Rock River Valley” included the following information.

Oregon is located midway between Chicago and Dubuque, Iowa on the C.B.&Q. railroad and midway between Rockford and Dixon on the Blackhawk Trail (Route 2).

Under the section entitled Conditions in Oregon, the bulletin lists “good water to drink and plenty of it, adequate sewer system, unlimited electricity power, boulevard lights and paved streets, and good hotels and eating accommodations”.

Points of interest mentioned were Taft’s Soldiers Memorial, Driscoll Boulder, Legion Shaft at Riverview Cemetery, Lincoln Spoke Here Boulder, Liberty Hill, Riverview Cemetery where the late Chief Justice J. B. Cartwright is buried, Ladies Rest Room at the Courthouse, Statuette of the Art Institute Fountain at Mix Park, Sinnissippi Farm, Wolf Hill at Sinnissippi Farm, Black Hawk Bluff, Castle Rock, Community House, fairgrounds, half mile racing track, coliseum, and the Golden Rule Home.

Also mentioned were five churches, two school houses, two banks, greenhouse, and two weekly newspapers.

Another section showed the distances from Oregon to 24 places.

Today we think of driving time. Some of the distances listed were: “Chicago — 98 miles by rail, Polo on the C&I trail — 16 miles, Dixon via Black Hawk Trail — 17 miles, Dixon via Lowden Farm — 17 miles, Rockford via Black Hawk Trail — 22 miles, Rockford via detour — 27 miles and Mt. Morris — 6 miles.”

The railroad offered special excursions such as Halloween parties and bicycle rides to Grand Detour, the Pines and other locations.

We have a photo at the depot showing hundreds of bicyclists unloading their bikes from the train.

The Oregon Depot was built in 1871. The original building burned down in 1893 and another was constructed, but it also suffered a fire in 1909. The current depot, which is now a museum, was constructed in 1913. Photo supplied

Principal earns IPA scholarship

Six members present at the Horst Reunion Aug. 3 were recognized for attaining the age of 90 years or older.

Pictured left to right are: Don Horst, Helen Borneman, Glen Borneman, Violet Borneman, Charles Beard, and Lois Horst. Photo supplied

Horst reunion was held Aug. 3 Fifty-one descendants of Johann George Horst and Margaret Appel Horst gathered Aug. 3 for the annual Horst reunion in the Fellowship Hall at St. James Lutheran Church, rural Forreston.

After a potluck dinner and conversation, David Link, president, conducted the business meeting.

For the first time in many

years, a descendant from each of the four children of Johann and Margaret Horst were present: Stan Burke, great-grandson of Elizabeth Horst Diehl; Connie Mongan, greatgranddaughter of Konrad Horst; Don Horst, grandson of George Horst Sr.; and Glen Borneman, grandson of Helena Horst Borneman.

Don Horst was also

recognized as the oldest member present.

Five others were also recognized for being 90 years or older. They are Lois Horst, Charles Beard, Glen Borneman, Helen Borneman, and Violet Borneman.

The youngest member present was little Sophia, two-month-old daughter of Andria and Derek

Marcellus.

Sophia represented the eighth generation of the Johann and Margaret Appel Horst Family.

Rev. Richard Horst traveled the longest distance, coming from Florida to attend the reunion.

Oregon Elementary School Principal Ann Tilton has been awarded a 2014 John Ourth and Dr. Fred Singleton Professional Development Scholarship sponsored by the Illinois Principals Association (IPA).

Tilton has served as a principal at Oregon Elementary School since 2011.

Prior to that she was a principal at the AshtonFranklin Center School District and a sixth grade teacher there.

She was also previously an instructor at Sauk Valley Community College, Dixon.

Tilton said she believes a dynamic principal serves as an instructional leader through continued professional development and sharing the information with staff members.

“It is imperative to lead in a manner that exemplifies sincerity, honesty, and appreciation for both students and staff members while maintaining high expectations and accountability,” she said.

The John Ourth & Dr.

Fred Singleton Professional Development Scholarships were established in 2007 to recognize the contributions of John Ourth and Dr. Fred Singleton, former IPA Field Directors, to the Illinois Principals Association.

The scholarship provides funding to assist individuals in the pursuit of graduate study, attendance at national conferences, and attendance at other relevant professional development to further the capacities of school administrators to be instructional leaders.

Two $750 scholarships are awarded each year.

Ourth passed away shortly after the creation of the scholarship on Dec. 10, 2007.

Singleton recently retired with 50 years of service in education.

Tilton will be recognized in October, along with Arcola Elementary School Principal Angie Gentry, the recipient of the other scholarship, at a ceremony during the Illinois Principals Association Fall Professional Conference held in Peoria.

Next year’s reunion will be held on Aug. 2 at St. James Lutheran Church.

Jazz musician who played in Oregon area passes away Sauk Valley Media Val DeCastris, a jazz musician for more than 70 years and known professionally as Val Eddy, has died of cancer and Parkinson’s disease at the age of 88.

DeCastris, who died Aug. 4 at Lincolnshire Place assisted living center in Rockford, was a singer, band leader and acoustic bassist who toured the country for decades with the late pianist and vocalist Homer Carlson as the Val Eddy Duo. They played major clubs and resort in Chicago, Rockford and throughout the Midwest, and later in their careers performed at Chicago

Cubs third baseman Stan Hacks’ Landmark in Grand Detour, Maxson’s in Oregon and the Brandywine in Dixon.

In the 1950s, when joined by the late guitarist Dave Pitts, known as Dave LaMond, the duo became the Val Eddy Trio.

They had their own live music TV show, “The Song Shop,” that aired four nights a week on WTVO in the 1950s.

The band performed with such music legends as Danny Thomas, Louie Armstrong, Les Brown, Stan Kenton, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Woody Herman, Lionel Hampton, Jack Benny and Martha Raye.

They recorded on the MCA record label.

DeCastris also served in the Army during World War II, and played in the Army Marching Band and eventually its Dance Band, performing at USO events.

John Deere is the subject of a new documentary

By Angel Sierra Sauk Valley Media Themes of ingenuity and perseverance permeate the histories of successful American entrepreneurs.

Moline native Chris Burke hopes to capture that spirit in a documentary about a man who changed the agricultural world: John Deere.

Burke, 41, focused the storyline of his screenplay on Deere’s early life – the parts that made the young man a renowned innovator – and soon will use the John Deere Historic Site in Grand Detour as a backdrop.

The new documentary, “The Best That Is In Me: Mr. John Deere’s Dream,” produced by Fourth Wall Films of Moline, will be narrated by venerable actor Rance Howard. It is scheduled to be released in early 2016.

Tribute to Mom Burke, who lives in Aurora with his wife, Jennifer, 40, and three daughters, started the project shortly after his mom, Karen, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in January 2008.

“She was the martyr,” Burke said. You could hear him smile over the phone as he reminisced.

“She was the type of person who always tried to do everything for everyone, kept the family in line, and was a remarkably hard worker. She was a special person.”

Born in 1942 in Moline, for 20 years Karen was an office manager for Donohoo Steel Treating Co., in Bettendorf, Iowa. She retired early because of her illness.

Burke would make the 4-hour round-trip to see her as often as possible, and on his way home, often would

stop in Dixon.

Within a few months, his mom, who stood all of about 5-foot-2, had fallen to well below 100 pounds, he said.

“She was just so tiny. She didn’t have anything to fight it.”

The stress surrounding his mom’s diagnosis was overwhelming, he said, and so one day, on a trip back to Aurora, he detoured to visit the John Deere Historic Site; maybe to cope with the emotional deluge and to “perhaps delay the inevitable.”

Throughout the tour, Burke identified with Deere’s motivation for selfimprovement, and he became enamored with the story of Deere’s early life, he said.

Deere was a blacksmith who discovered that the plow design used on farms in the east wouldn’t work on the Midwest’s chunky clay soil.

He grappled with economic turmoil in an era when the nation faced an uncertain future. His father disappeared at sea. “[The tour] was fantastic,” Burke said, adding that he knew Deere existed, but nothing beyond that.

Back home to Aurora, he called his mom. He wondered why Deere’s upbringing hadn’t yet been told in a way that could reach a large audience.

“Why don’t you do it?”

Karen asked.

“Yeah, right,” Burke said as he laughed and shrugged off the idea.

That exchange turned out to be one of their last. By the time tests shed light on what was going on with his mom, the cancer had spread to her brain. About 2 weeks later, about 5 months after the initial diagnosis, Karen died.

She was 65.

Steven Stukenberg of Harvard shows a smithed piece of iron to Brandon Block, 8, and grandmother Judy Jellerichs during a demonstration of blacksmithing at Hammer-In at the John Deere Historic Site in Grand Detour. A new documentary, “The Best That Is In Me: Mr. John Deere’s Dream,” produced by Fourth Wall Films of Moline, will use the John Deere Historic Site in Grand Detour as a backdrop.

A great story The day after her death, Burke told Jennifer he wanted to work on the screenplay.

The focus he placed on writing became a sort of therapy, he said.

“Now she likes it, but for a while, she thought I was absolutely crazy.”

“Screenwriting for Dummies” was one of the first resources he used to help him get started, he said, working in business development by day and on the screenplay at night.

“The first draft was pretty horrible,” Burke confessed.

“It took about 4 or 5 months [to assemble].”

Several Hollywood studios rejected the script, but Burke, like Deere, never accepted

defeat. “[John Deere’s life] is a great story of Americana ... of overcoming challenges.”

It would be 2 to 3 years more before he felt confident enough to make it a movie, he said.

Fourth Wall Films, operated by husband-andwife Kelly and Tammy Rundle is making the documentary.

Kelly, 55, grew up in the Quad Cities; coincidentally, his dad was a barber at John Deere Inc. headquarters more than 30 years.

“So, I’ve heard a lot about [the company] over the years,” he said with a laugh.

Tammy’s father, too, had a connection to the company: He was a welder at a Deere

factory in Waterloo, Iowa, for more than 30 years.

“She ... would have grown up with a significant awareness of the company. … Probably not John Deere the man,” Kelly said. “It’s been overlooked. A lot of people focus on his life from the time of the plow’s invention to today.”

After Fourth Wall and Burke connected, they approached John Deere Inc. to iron out legal details and identify anything that could derail or halt production, he said.

“A lot of people know about John Deere, but they don’t understand that it’s not just a brand …There’s a person with a fascinating story.”

At this point, fundraising is ongoing, and the documentary is in pre-production. The team plans to film at the John Deere site in Grand Detour next summer or fall.

“I think John Deere belongs on a long list of American innovators and inventors. … People like Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, Thomas Edison,” Kelly said. “He’s not usually included on those lists.”

He said sharing awareness of Deere’s early life and his accomplishments is a primary goal of the project.

It could just be that his story hasn’t been told in a way that captured the public’s attention.

“That’s what we hope to do.”

Stories shared about the history of automobiles

By Chris Johnson Reporter Every car has a story — all you need to do is ask the owner.

This rang true during the 25th annual Polo Car, Truck, and Tractor Show Saturday morning.

Car enthusiasts arrived early to prepare their car for the show.

Each one had a different story and a variety of reasons why they love showing their vehicle.

Marlin Jensen, Dixon, was at the show with his 1974 Jensen Interceptor. “I needed a car with my name,� said Jensen. “This car is a Jensen. I also own a Marlin.�

Having two antique cars that match his first and last name was one thing that made Jensen unique.

The story of how he acquired the Interceptor was a tale to be told. “The Interceptor was built in West Bromwich, England,� he said. “It has a Chrysler engine and a Jaguar rear end.

I bought this car site unseen online.�

Purchasing a car online took trust between the buyer and seller.

Jensen joked the car looked good in the pictures and description. “The guy was good but did not disclose everything,�

Jensen said. “I did not want a project. I wanted no rust, but it had a hole in the hood.�

If that was the only problem, it would have been a relatively simple fix, however there were additional dents and major damage to be repaired. “When I got the car it had dents in the roof and a door was caved in,� he said. “It has a leather headliner and is hard to get dents out of the roof without damaging the leather.�

On the plus side, the car came with a working 8 track player.

Jensen purchased the car in 2004 and made the repairs to get the car working. “It was nice to get this car in working order,� he said.

The Interceptor was parked next to another interesting car, a 1964 VW Dune Buggy owned by Bob Kloog, Oregon. “The previous owner had it in parts,� said Kloog “I saved it and rebuilt it.�

Kloog purchased the car, with the boxes of parts, nine years ago. “I rebuilt the car,� he said. “There was not much there when I started.�

When asked how the car runs, Kloog showed his sense of humor. “The car gets me where I need to go,� he said.

The dune buggy attracts attention wherever it is driven. “The kids like this car,� said Kloog.

As for why Kloog enjoys shows, there is a simple answer. “It is a beautiful day for a car show,� he said. “I like to get out and meet the people.�

Another car owner who enjoys meeting people is Dave “Grumpy� Banes, Rock Falls. “I enjoy being around the people and having fun,�

Banes said.

His 1956 Chevy Bel Air has a Grump decal from “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.�

Banes said his nickname is Grumpy and everyone knows him by that name.

The Bel Air was modified

by Banes to include a better engine. “I get a lot of people telling me that ‘They had one just like it,’� he said. “Well, not like this one. I added a 468 engine to it.�

Banes wanted to give the car more power and the big block engine he installed did

the trick.

The only problem with the added power was making sure he obeys the speed limit. “I have a heavy foot,� he said. “It is fun to drive.�

When cruising around the area with his car Banes said he always receives thumbs up from other motorists.

The car’s previous owner was from Polo.

Banes purchased the car in Polo eight years ago. “It was in need of repairs when I bought it and now it is finished,� he said.

Archie Jensen, Rochelle, also had to repair his car when it was purchased.

He brought his 1957 Ford Fairlane with a retractable roof to the show. “I spent the past two years to get it running perfect,� said Archie. “I have done everything on it.�

Fortunately for Archie, none of the repairs was body work. He said the body and

paint was clean but the car had small mechanical issues. “I have owned it two years.

It is interesting when people tell you ‘My dad, my uncle, my brother, had one of these

cars,’� he said. “This is our baby and we enjoy shows.�

Aug. 11 and expected to take eight to 10 weeks.

Visu-Sewer uses a high pressure jet machine to clean the main sewer line.

The cleaning process can cause pressure changes in the sewers attached to residences.

This should not affect most homes, but in some homes that have inadequate or partially blocked vents, water may be sucked out, leaving a dry trap.

It could also force the water out of the drains, splashing the area around the drain.

To avoid excessive splatter, close toilet lids and cover drains with a bucket or mat.

After the crew has left your neighborhood, run a gallon or so of water into each drain to fill the trap with water to keep any sewer odor out of the home.

Areas not affected by the cleaning and televising

include Century Hills, Terrace View and Fairgrounds Subdivisions, along with the east side of Oregon.

Residents are thanked for their patience and cooperation while the project is completed.

Sports Column Oregon coaches, freshmen parents attend seminar

By Andy Colbert Reporter A few odds and ends.

As a part-time helper for the track program, I had the opportunity to join many of the coaches from Oregon for an educational coaching clinic last week.

The same person who gave the seminar to freshmen parents the following evening put it on.

Credit the school’s administration for facilitating both programs and giving all of us something to think about.

There is definitely a different dynamic in interpersonal relationships between athlete, coach and parents than in years past, along with significantly more outside influences.

As I sat there with about 30 coaches or so, this thought hit me – Oregon athletic leadership is blessed with a great deal of humility.

We have very modest coaches, which isn’t always

the case in the coaching profession.

Big shotism just isn’t to be found in this bunch, even in high profile sports like football, basketball and volleyball. *** Sitting across from me was trainer John Cain, who was happy to report that he was rehired at Ogle County Physical Therapy.

That solves the uncertainty of who was going to handle trainer duties at Oregon for the upcoming year.

Another bit of good news came from new crosscountry coach Lori Gipper, who reported that five boys and five girls are now out, up from a total of six combined a couple weeks ago.

Maybe when school starts, that number will jump up further.

Did you know that Gipper was a former state track qualifier for Forreston in 1977 as a distance runner?

Her husband Tim will be cocoaching the team with her.

Another notable woman athlete from that era is my boss at the paper, Earleen Hinton, who assists with the basketball program. Earleen

graduated from Mt. Morris in 1977 and went on to play field hockey in college on scholarship.

Earleen credits much of her success to being mentored

by Salley Wessels while at Mt. Morris. The 1970s were certainly a pioneering time for high school girls sports, as they progressed from the dark ages of GAA to genuine IHSA competition. *** Walking over to Blackhawk Center to take in the coaching clinic, I ran into a project manager for the company installing the geothermal wells around Jefferson, Etnyre and the high school.

Did you know the geological formations at each school are somewhat different?

Jefferson was the easiest for drill, as it was mostly clay. Etnyre had pea and sand gravel, forcing the crew to go deeper in its drilling.

The high school had more bedrock than the other two sites.

All wells (and there’s a whole lot of them), with their warm/cold water pipes are 200 feet-plus deep. The

geothermal wells will offer substantial savings when it comes to winter heating and summer cooling and the project manager wondered why more schools weren’t adding them. *** It’s never too early to talk football. Though numbers are down, Oregon should be solid. They also have relatively good size.

I predict the Hawks will be more physical than last year and will make another push for the playoffs. A key is to stay healthy, something that Oregon has been fortunate with over the years.

It appears that Stillman Valley and Rockford Lutheran will be heads and

shoulders above everyone else in the conference.

However, Oregon is capable of playing with everyone else on its schedule.

Another key for the Hawks is to get off to a fast start against Johnsburg, North Boone and Rock Falls in the first three games. Johnsburg is 1-26 the last three years and Rock Falls’ record isn’t much better.

North Boone nipped us once (2012), but we usually have the upper hand against them. A 3-0 start could really be the springboard for a successful year and create excitement in week four as the Hawks travel to Dixon a match up with the Dukes.

That game will be the first time since these two teams

Lowden on the map for two Tin Can Tourists Antique car and camper make trek through Canada

this book.”

Boehme owned the 1956 Ford since the 1980s and found the camper about 10 years ago.

“The camper was white so I had it painted to match the car and the upholstery,” he said.

After some upgrades which included disc brakes and trailer brakes, the station wagon was ready to pull the camper.

“The car is original and has been rebuilt. The trailer is just big and bulky—like pulling a big shoebox, but I tell people that with the wings I’m aerodynamic,” he said smiling.

The trio made the trip in good shape, with the exception of a lost mud flap, flat tire, and wayward roof vent.

“The roof vent blew off in Moonbeam, Ontario, but a local carpenter made me Above, Don Boehme pulls his 1956 Ford and 1962 Shasta camper into the campground area at Lowden State a new one out of a piece of Park.

The pair wood which we attached with stopped at Lowden State Park on Aug. 6 while headed back to their Chicago-area homes. Photos by Earleen Hinton duct tape. We had to get that all fixed up before it rained,” Boehme said. “The roof vent blew off again but one of the guys from the caravan saw it in the ditch, knew immediately what it was, and picked it up for me.”

Driving antique vehicles also means traveling at antique speeds.

“We drove at 1950s speeds which means 40-50 mph, like the speed limits were back then,” Boehme said. “I check the fluids every night and the car does use a little bit of oil.”

“The newest car Don owns is a 1975,” interjected Hardekopf. “Our average speed for this trip was 38 mph.”

“Well, let me just say that the people who see us on the highway have plenty to time to take our picture,” Boehme said. “We went a long ways, but this little trailer made it.”

When Don Boehme pulled into Lowden State Park last Wednesday the first thing he did was find some shade for his “friends”.

“She tends to run a little hot,” said Boehme, an Oak Park resident.

That’s to be expected — especially for a 58-year-old who just finished pulling her 52-year-old traveling companion up Lowden hill after logging 3,000 miles.

Boehme, age 76, was talking about his 1956 Ford station wagon and his 1962 Shasta camper, a perfectly matched red and tan throwback to the days before tollways were the mode of the modern day travelers.

Boehme, followed by his friend Doug Hardekopf, of Somonauk, were on their last leg of a month-long trek that started in Toronto, Canada on July 8.

The pair are members of the Tin Can Tourists, an “all make and model vintage trailer and motor coach club.”

The club’s goal is to “promote and preserve vintage trailers and motor coaches” through gatherings and trips where participants can exchange information while on the road with vintage vehicles.

“We started on Yonge Street, which was built in 1792,” said Hardekopf, age 63. “We went across Ontario to Rainy River and then back through Minnesota to here.

We were part of the Black Fly Caravan with other vintage campers.”

Hardekopf was pulling his 2010 fiberglass Scamp camper with a modern-day truck.

“The Scamps are called the ‘egg trailers’. They started being built in 1972 when someone got the idea to take a septic tank and make it into a camper. It’s lightweight,” he said.

While Hardekopf’s Scamp included a full bathroom, shower, and microwave, a peek into his camping mate’s Shasta was like a trip back in time.

Road maps from the 1950s were presented neatly in a Mobil gas display case on the wall by the door that was right across from the snazzy coppertone stove, a popular color that premiered in the early-1960s.

Boehme smiled as he sat at the camper’s kitchen table surrounded by curtains that were made to look like road Above, Don Boehme sits in the kitchen area of his 1962 Shasta travel trailer with maps and windows bordered a toaster that has been made to look like a Shasta trailer.

Emotions high as Sheley sentenced for murders Four brutally killed in Rock Falls in 2008

By Christi Warren Sauk Valley Media The courtroom was silent, almost unnervingly so. It was a hot day outside Monday, but inside it was hot, too, and the air was sticky.

Courtroom B, on the top level of the Whiteside County Courthouse, was packed, each person breathing anxiously, waiting for the punishment that has been 6 long years in coming for Nicholas Sheley.

What would be his punishment for taking the lives of four people, without apparent provocation, in a Rock Falls apartment in June 2008?

After the court listened to emotional statements from the victims’ families, they heard the long-awaited sentence for those four brutal murders: Four life terms, to be served one after the other, and after two earlier life terms imposed for murdering a Sterling man and Galesburg

man during a weeklong drugand-alcohol-fueled killing spree.

Sheley was convicted May 29 for the killings in that Rock Falls apartment of Brock Branson, 29, Kilynna Blake, 20, Dayan Blake, 2, and Kenneth Ulve, 25.

Sheley previously received life terms for the deaths of Russell Reed, 93, at his rural Sterling home, and Ronald Randall, 65, in Galesburg.

Next for Sheley will be a trial for the murders of Arkansas couple Tom and Jill Estes. They were killed in Festus, Missouri, while in town for a graduation.

Just after 11 a.m. Monday, Whiteside County State’s Attorney Trish Joyce read two victim-impact statements from members of Kilynna Blake’s family.

Then Brock Branson’s sister, Jodi Fitzgerald, took the stand to read hers.

The Branson family turned out in force to hear what likely was Sheley’s final Illinois sentencing.

They were a sea of blue and orange, all decked out in Chicago Bears gear in honor of their son’s favorite team. “On Monday, June 30, 2008, around 4 p.m., I

received a phone call from my father while driving home from work,� Fitzgerald said. “Little did I know that phone call would be a call that would change my entire life.�

She went on to recount the struggle to understand Brock’s death, how it has affected her and her family, and importantly, the life of Brock’s daughter. “He had a huge heart, and because of you, Nick Sheley,

your selfish decision in rage and jealousy, I mourn the loss of my own identity,� she said. “I want to be normal again. Not ‘Jodi whose brother was killed by Nick Sheley.’ “I mourn the loss of my parents as I knew them before Brock’s death.�

She looked up occasionally at Sheley, who, as he did during his trial, sat in shackles, staring straight ahead.

Fitzgerald took her seat, and the courtroom filled with a calm silence as Judge Jeffrey O’Connor prepared to read his sentence.

Missouri, where Sheley will next face trial, has the death penalty, but Jefferson County prosecutor Forrest Wegge has declined to say whether he’ll seek it. He must decide before trial begins; there is no timetable for when that might be.

Illinois Assistant Attorney General Bill Elward was among a group of attorneys who met recently with Wegge to discuss the next steps in the case. “Missouri’s going to seek to have him transferred from the Illinois Department of Corrections,� Elward said. “We’re going to do whatever we can to assist the state of Missouri to get him there.. ... “We’re getting [Wegge] all the evidence files that we have. It’s relatively straightforward what this defendant did in Missouri, but we want them to have all the information about the Illinois evidence that he brought into Missouri.�

Sheley’s defense attorney, Jeremy Karlin, said he would file an appeal on Sheley’s

behalf, but didn’t think he would be involved in future proceedings, including the extradition or the appeal.

It’s an appeal that Elward doesn’t believe holds much weight. “We’re confident that there’s overwhelming evidence that he got a fair trial, and there’s overwhelming, overwhelming evidence that he’s guilty,� Elward said. “I don’t think there’s going to be any need for us to do anything [in Missouri] besides cheer from the sidelines.�

The Branson group gathered for a picture outside the courthouse before heading to a family lunch nearby. “It felt good,� Jodi Fitzgerald said about finally getting to read her statement. “It felt so good. I don’t care if he looked at me or what, but at least I did it, and it made me feel good. “I feel some closure, and it’s time to just be done with this now and just move on just in his memory. We can’t bring him back, so let’s just keep moving forward and stay strong. But at least this isn’t something we have to think about every day.�

Ogle tourism dollars totaled $64.9M last year Ogle County brought in $64.9 million from tourism last year, according to statistics recently released by the Illinois Office of Tourism.

The Blackhawk Waterways Convention & Visitors Bureau region, which includes Ogle, Carroll, Lee, and Whiteside Counties, generated at total of $149.81

million in 2013.

Local tax revenues generated by visitor spending came in at $3.37 million across the four-county region. “These statistics reinforce what I’ve said all along - the Blackhawk Waterways region is a great travel destination for those looking for a fun & relaxing getawa,� said Diane

Bausman, Executive Director of the Blackhawk Waterways CVB. “I’m confident that for the rest of 2014 travel to our four-county region will stay strong and the travel related tax revenues generated will continue to contribute to economic growth in our area.�

The other counties’ totals

are as follows: Carroll — $19.84 million; Lee — $30.03 million; and Whiteside—$35.04 million.

All statistics were provided in the 2013 Economic Impact of Tourism Report distributed by the Illinois Office of Tourism.

Statewide, Illinois had its third consecutive record-

breaking year for tourism by welcoming nearly 105.7 million visitors in 2013 .

Visitors spent $34.5 billion in Illinois, generating nearly $2.6 billion in state and local tax revenues.

This increase was fueled by the continued surge in leisure travel. “The robust results

emphasize the influential role tourism plays in fueling Illinois’ economic growth, creating jobs, and providing additional tax revenue to the state,� Bausman said.
