Ogle County Board approves 2014 budget 22-1 By Vinde Wells Editor Only one Ogle County Board member cast a no vote Tuesday against the 2014 budget. The $39. 3 million budget was approved 22-1 with

only Skip Kenney, Rochelle, voting against it. John O’Brien, Rochelle, did not attend the meeting. “It’s not a balanced budget,� Kenney said after the meeting. “You’ve got to live within your means.� He said too much is being

taken out of the Long Range Planning Fund to bolster other funds. Revenues in that fund come from the host fees paid by garbage collection firms to dump refuse in the landfills within the county. The fees bring

approximately $2.5 million per year into the county’s coffers. According to the budget, the Long Range Planning Fund, which is earmarked for major capital projects, is projected to start the new fiscal year Dec. 1 with a

balance of $13 million, add approximately $2.5 million in revenues throughout the year, and end with a balance of $9.5 million. The largest budgeted expenditures in the Long Range Planning Fund are $4.1 million for a new

By Chris Johnson Reporter Safety and an understanding of the law were stressed during a recent concealed carry class. Certified instructors from the Twin Towers Gun Club were offering a Nov. 16 class in Oregon to train a dozen people with the rules and regulations. A second portion of the class, practical skills, includes range shooting and additional safety demonstrations. “A gun is a tool of self defense,� said instructor Scott Schultz. “No one needs to know you have the gun.� He said having a concealed carry permit does not give the weapon’s owner the right to go up to people and wave their gun around. Students in the class learned that Illinois defines a concealed firearm as a loaded or unloaded handgun on or about a person. A firearm is concealed if it is completely or mostly concealed. “If you can see the gun it is not concealed,� Schultz said. “If it is accidentally visible that is allowed.� A concealed gun could be revealed when bending over or raising arms above your head, he said. Training is required to earn the privilege to carry a concealed carry permit. “In Illinois you need to be 21 years old, and complete the training,� said Schultz. “The license is only valid for

five years.� Training consists of an 16 hours which includes classroom time and pistol class at a gun range, both with certified instructors. To qualify for a license a shooter needs to be 70 percent accurate on a target over 30 rounds. Ten are at 5 yards, 10 at 7 yards, and 10 at 10 yards on a standard B-27 target. “In addition to being accurate, you need to follow all of the instructors instructions during the range class,� said Schultz. To renew a license, an additional three hours of training is required. The permit fee is $150. During the application process, local police agencies will have the ability to view who is requesting a permit and can make an objection to the application. A situation that will come up for concealed carry permit-holders are routine traffic stops. Any interaction with a police officer, including a traffic stop, the officer can request a concealed carry license. Schultz said the permitholder does not need to disclose the permit or if a gun is on their person or in their car unless specifically asked by an officer. “You are not required to tell the officer you have a gun, but after a request you need to tell them about the weapon,� Schultz said. Instructor Jason White, who is also the Mt. Morris Police Chief, had a suggestion for permit-holders. “Do not yell ‘I have a gun’ because an officer might

pull a gun on you,� said White. “Maybe hand your concealed carry permit with your license to let the officer know.� He said officers in the future may be able to see whether someone has a license on their squad car’s computer by running the vehicle’s tags. A student in the class asked what should happen if the officer asks to see the gun. “If the officer asks, then let the officer know where the gun is,� said Schultz. “They may have you exit the vehicle and check for the gun.� Another section of the class discussed the 23 prohibited areas where guns are not allowed to be concealed. Loaded firearms are not

allowed on any form of public transportation, but an unloaded gun in a bag or case is allowed. “At events like Autumn on Parade you can not attend the event with a concealed firearm,� said Schultz. “You can go through to get to a home or business. You also can not attend the Oregon Trail Days beer garden with a concealed firearm.� Other locations that are not allowed include government buildings, public parks, and any facility displaying the 4 by 6 inch sign showing guns are not allowed. A concealed carry permitholder may bring their firearm to certain parking areas as long as they store the unloaded firearm out of view in a locked vehicle or case. However, there are some

locations where guns are never allowed. Any property that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission oversees prohibits firearms from the property. This also prohibits the firearms from being in the vehicle. In Ogle County that means anyone going to the Byron Generating Station may not bring a firearm to the property. For additional information about a concealed carry course contact the Twin Towers Gun Club by emailing twintowersgc@ frontier.com. Classes will be also posted at www.nrainstructors.org/ searchcourse.aspx. The instructors will be scheduling additional classes in the spring.

A former Oregon couple and their family escaped with their lives and little else Sunday when a tornado destroyed their home in Washington, Ill. Friends in Oregon have organized a drive to help Jason and Sarah Earl get back on their feet. Wendy Kresheck and Roberta Fassler are taking donations of money and gift cards for the Earls and will deliver them this weekend. Jason and Sarah were at church Sunday with their three young children when the sirens, as well as the electricity went off. They returned to their nearby home to find it completely destroyed, along with their possessions. They are staying with family members, but all they have left is the clothes they were wearing and the car they were driving. Jason was an announcer for Oregon Hawks athletic events for several years, worked at the Blackhawk Center, and was one of the founders of the Oregon Booster Club. Sarah chaired the 5K run at Autumn on Parade for several years and raised money for the Oregon and Polo cross country teams, Focus House, and the Village of Progress. She coached the Oregon High School cross country team and the David L. Rahn Junior High track team. For more information call Kresheck at 815-218-1420 or email her at wendykresheck@ yahoo.com or Fassler at 815440-0969.

Village of Progress holds its 44th annual banquet By Jeannette Mingus Correspondent More than 300 people gathered last week to pay tribute to the men and women whose contributions help a local organization remain successful after more than four decades in operation. The Village of Progress (VOP) held its 44th annual banquet celebration Nov. 13 at St. Mary’s Learning Center, Oregon. Professional speaker Tom Wadsworth served as the

evening’s emcee. Karen Young was awarded the John Herrmann Personal Achievement Award for her consistent progress and willingness to accept any job assignment. She has been enrolled at the VOP for the past 34 years. Young’s current responsibilities include working in the production area and walking Chana, the VOP dog, daily. Named after Bob Moehle who served 36 consecutive years as a board member,

Violent storm brushes past Ogle Severe damage to the south By Vinde Wells Editor A violent late season storm that wreaked destruction in central Illinois early Sunday afternoon brushed past Ogle County leaving relatively little damage. Sheriff Michael Harn said Monday that the fast-moving storm was strongest on the south and east edges of the county where it brought down trees and tipped over at least four semis on Interstates 39 and 88. Harn said an emergency

drill at Exelon’s Byron Generating Station scheduled for Nov. 20 has been cancelled because Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) personnel have been dispatched to Washington, Ill., where a tornado packing winds of more than 190 miles per hour destroyed at least 400 homes in its path. The tornado was classified as an EF-4 by the National Weather Service. That tornado was part of a storm system that spawned 11 tornadoes in central and southern Illinois, leaving six dead and hundreds injured. Tornadoes from the system also touched down in Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana,

and Michigan. Rochelle Police Chief Eric Higby said power outages and damage were reported throughout the community, as the storm brought down trees and electrical wires. Rochelle police were called out to assist the Illinois State Police and Ogle County Sheriff’s Police with the crashes involving toppled semis, he said. ComEd spokesman Dave Gross said approximately 600 customers in southern Ogle County were without electricity from the storm. Most had been restored by early Monday afternoon, he said. “The damage was worse

the farther south you went,� Gross said. In Lee County, utility poles were broken off by the high winds, leaving some customers without power until Monday evening. A press release issued by ComEd on Monday said that more than 200,000 customers were without electricity in northern Illinois due to “downed power lines, broken poles, and toppled transmission towers.� More than 570 ComEd and contractor crews were working Monday to restore power, the release said. The contractor crews came from Michigan, Iowa, and Wisconsin.

Luminaria will light the downtown, compliments of the Oregon Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and Oregon High School Key Club. A Winter Quarter Carnival for kids ages 3 to 10 is one of this year’s new features. Chamber president Debbie Leffelman said the Oregon Park District and two 4-H clubs have teamed up to provide games that youngsters will enjoy at a cost of 25 cents in the lower level of the Coliseum. “This year we’ve moved the tree lighting to the courthouse lawn, where there will also be a light display featuring the Christmas tree, Gingerbread House, and a

snowman,� she said. Previously, the tree lighting was at the Coliseum. Franklin Street will between Fourth Street (Ill. 2) and Third Street will be closed to traffic and transformed into Candy Cane Lane for the evening. Businesses throughout the city will extend their hours for shoppers to find holiday bargains, gifts, and refreshments. Youngsters can visit with Santa and Mrs. Santa in the lower level of the Oregon Coliseum after the tree lighting until 8 p.m. and then walk down Candy Cane Lane on their way to see Santa’s reindeer at First National Bank and shop at Conover Square. A Holiday Gift Fair featuring numerous vendors will be held at the Coliseum,

Horse-drawn wagon rides will be available all evening, taking riders throughout the downtown to view holiday lights and decorations.

Board approves budget From A1 purchasing county-owned vehicles. During the budget discussion, board member Ron Colson, Mt. Morris, also questioned some of the expenditures from the Long Range Planning Fund. He said he planned to vote

for the budget, but voiced concern that the fund is being used to pay for projects outside its intended purpose. He did not specify which expenditures he was questioning. Board chairman Kim Gouker, Byron, disagreed. He said he believes paying for the repairs and

maintenance of county buildings is within the fund’s stated purpose. The fund has been used to pay for the construction of the $15 million judicial center built in 2005 and for the remodeling of the courthouse in 2010, a $7.5 million project.

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.

Buildings are saved by groups and individuals 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 Behind many community projects you can identify a person or group responsible for their success. The Oregon Depot and the Chana School are two examples. Although many have worked on the Chana School, Connie Stauffer and Val Moss are responsible for preserving this wonderful piece of history. This building provides a history of education when we attended country schools. Jim Barnes is responsible for saving the Oregon Depot.

Volunteers install new windows in the waiting area of the depot, one of many projects done during the restoration.

If not for his effort and determination to save the depot, this valuable piece of Oregon History would not exist. When I first became involved at the depot, I had no idea of the time and effort needed to save it. The following people and organizations helped former Mayor Barnes save the depot and obtain title to this property. The list includes Dave Smith (city attorney), Ogle County Historical Society, Oregon Public Library, Myron Olson (Illinois State Representative), Harlan Rigney (Illinois State Senator), Oregon Chamber of Commerce, Harriet Lowden Madlener, Illinois Commerce Commission, and Warren Miller. This was a long process of seven years to obtain the depot. At the same time, negotiations were ongoing to vacate the railroad spur running past the piano factory. Mayor Barnes sent and received numerous letters promoting this project. Our city attorney, David Smith, received several letters, and we have on file 40 letters he sent starting 1986 through 1992. The letter sent by Myron Olson to the railroad expressing his support for turning this building into a railroad museum. He stated he took the train from Oregon to the Quad Cities and back. During this seven-year process several issues were

Former Mayor Jim Barnes

addressed: 1. The railroad wanted to demolish the building. 2. Other towns receiving depots had reneged on their agreements with the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. 3. The depot was too close to the tracks. 4. If the city wanted the depot they would have to move it. 5. Oregon could obtain the depot if an eight-foot chain link fence was erected three feet from the building on all sides. 6. Waterline problems running through the depot feeding the house across the street needed to be addressed. 7. The city wanted more property than the three feet offered by the railroad. 8. The actual deed was missing. 9. Problems with the ownership of the house where water was supplied from the depot.

Volunteers have spent the last several years restoring the historic Burlington Northern & Santa Fe train depot in Oregon. Photo by Otto Dick

10. The city wanted land to the west of the depot to establish a railroad park. 11. Track nearest the depot needed to be removed. The above issues and others involved back and forth negotiations. Dave Smith cautioned the city to temper their requests so negotiations could continue. Even though this was a long process, Mayor Barnes, Dave Smith and the others stayed the course and saved the depot. After reading all the correspondence to save the building, I now understand that without Mayor Barnes the depot site would be an empty lot with little historic value.

Students learn about ag during recent programs Students throughout Ogle and Carroll counties learned about apples and pumpkins through the Ag in the Classroom program. In September, students found out how an apple seed becomes a tree. Younger elementary students “decorated� trees to show the

different seasons. Winter trees had cotton glued to them; pink tissue made into little balls represented blossoms on spring trees; and students finger painted green and red apples on the other trees. Older elementary students made an apple chain so they

could tell the “apple story� to their families. In October, students heard the story “Pumpkin Jack� by Will Hubbell. Through the story they discovered the life cycle of a pumpkin. Kindergarten students illustrated their own pumpkin books to share. Other students made a pumpkin chain and some made pumpkin charms. All the projects represented the pumpkin life cycle and gave them an opportunity to share the knowledge they gained with others. Children learned how apples and pumpkins relate to agriculture. Illinois farmers grow more pumpkins than anywhere else in the world. They grow 90% of the pumpkins used for processing. Most of the processing takes place in Morton, the Pumpkin Capital of the World. Agriculture in the Classroom is a program to help students gain a greater awareness of the role of agriculture in the economy and society. Students learn that thousands of farm products are in the world around Kindergarten students in Stillman Valley illustrated their them—on their plate, in the own books showing the life cycle of a pumpkin. Students clothes they wear, in the in Jacqui Goodman’s class shared their books with each medicine that makes them well, and in earth-friendly other. Photo supplied fuels and plastics.

Federation holds meeting By Katelyn Ackland Federation Reporter Federation has been having fun this year. For our last meeting, the group we went to the Turning Point Farm and had a meeting, potluck and campfire.

We played some games, like the name game and spud. In our meeting we decided that this year’s theme for Federation is going to be all about food. We’ll be helping out in a food pantry, learning about food from different countries,

and much more. Federation meetings are held every fourth Thursday of the month. If any 4-Hers ages 12 and up are interested in joining, contact the Extension Office at 815-732-2191 for more information.

The Ogle County 4-H Federation recently met for a potluck supper and campfire.

Corn demand levels reveal

ethanol production numbers In the monthly World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report (WASDE) released on Nov. 8, the USDA’s World Agricultural Outlook Board estimated that 4.648 billion bushels of corn were used to produce ethanol and coproducts during the 2012-13 marketing year. That estimate is 371 million bushels less than the estimate for the 2010-11 marketing year and 352 million less than estimated use during the 2011-12 marketing year. Domestic ethanol production declined from an estimated 13.796 billion gallons during the 201112 corn marketing year to an estimated 12.899 billion gallons last year. “On the surface, the reasons for the year-over-year decline in ethanol production and corn use in the 201213 marketing year are not obvious,� said University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good. “Based on estimates from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), domestic ethanol consumption (including small quantities of denaturant) was nearly identical in the two years, totaling 12.933 billion gallons during the 201112 corn marketing year and 12.991 billion gallons last year. “The decline in ethanol production then was not associated with a decline in domestic consumption. The decline reflected a year-overyear change in the ethanol trade balance and a change in ethanol inventories,� Good said. During the 2011-12 marketing year, imports were a modest 293 million gallons and exports were quite large at 1.095 billion gallons. The large positive trade of ethanol reflected, in part, reduced Brazilian ethanol production and exports stemming from smaller supplies and higher prices of sugar. During the 2012-13 marketing year, U.S. ethanol trade was balanced. Estimated imports totaled 558 million gallons, and estimated exports totaled 567 million

gallons. The difference of 793 million gallons in the trade balance between the two years represents about 285 million bushels of corn. Good reported that estimated ethanol stocks at the end of the 2011-12 corn marketing year were 62 million gallons larger than stocks at the beginning of the year. An estimated 22 million bushels of corn then were used as a result of the buildup in inventories. In contrast, ethanol stocks at the end of the 2012-13 marketing year were 101 million gallons smaller than stocks at the beginning of the year. The drawdown in stocks replaced about 37 million bushels of corn to produce ethanol. The difference in ethanol stock changes during the two marketing years represented about 59 million bushels of corn. When added to the difference of 285 million bushels of corn represented by the change in the ethanol trade balance, the total is very close to the 352-millionbushel decline in the USDA estimate of corn use for the two years. “Much has been made of the recent surge in domestic ethanol production and the re-opening of some ethanol plants,� Good said. “Based on weekly estimates from the EIA, ethanol production in the first two months of the 2013-14 corn marketing year of 2.226 billion gallons was about 7.5 percent larger than production during the first two months of the 2012-13 marketing year. “The increase, however, may not imply any substantial increase in domestic ethanol consumption, but instead may reflect changes in net trade and stock levels. Imports totaled only 23.5 million gallons in September and were zero in October. Export estimates for those two months are not yet available but would have totaled about 100 million gallons if the August pace was maintained,� Good said. Stocks of ethanol were about 75 million gallons less at the end of October than

at the end of August, Good added. Domestic consumption in the two months may have totaled about 2.225 billion gallons, a year-over-year increase of about 2 percent. Estimates of domestic consumption for September will be available with EIA estimates of production, trade, and stocks to be released in the last week of November. “Importantly, estimated ethanol production during the first two months of the 201314 marketing year was 3.2 percent less than during the first two months of the 201112 marketing year,� Good said. For the current marketing year, the USDA projects corn used for ethanol and co-product production at 4.9 billion bushels. “Actual consumption of corn could be somewhat different than that projection, depending on domestic consumption of ethanol, net ethanol trade, and the change in ethanol stock levels,� Good said. “Domestic ethanol consumption will be influenced by biofuels policy and by ethanol prices. Ethanol prices will in turn be influenced by corn prices. “It is generally assumed that domestic ethanol consumption will be at least as large as in the past three years, near the 10 percent blend wall of 13 billion gallons,� Good said. Good said that ethanol trade will also be influenced by biofuels policy as the size of the reduction in the advanced biofuels mandate for 2014 could influence the demand for imported ethanol. Under blend-wall constraints, ethanol imports substitute for domestic ethanol production. “A better indication of which ethanol and corn scenario will unfold will be available when EPA releases preliminary rule making for 2014,� Good said. “For the corn market, the implications may be more important for future marketing years than for the current year since it will influence the magnitude of needed corn production.�

PPSOC founded back in 1970s

adjacent area had large parcels of prairie which, although not as high quality, could be preserved with the tiny jewels and form a large, sweeping vista to catch people’s attention and imaginations. From a small beginning, the land became the internationally known Nachusa Grasslands. The original purpose of PPSOC was to preserve prairies in Ogle County. Since then, it has matured into a multi-action group that preserves natural lands and species, provides free consulting services, presents interesting free public programs and sells cut-ityourself Christmas trees. Tree sales are probably its most well-known function. Cheerful families come from as far as Chicago to re-kindle family traditions of finding the perfect tree, cutting it and taking it home. Many of them thanked volunteers for re-opening the former Sinnissippi Tree Farm, closed for several years before it was sold to PPSOC. Money from the sales goes directly to pay down the loan for the purchase of the 82 acre site dotted with high quality prairie remnants. PPSOC members are delighted to be able to connect with so many people and to preserve and restore the native environment. Hikes are led through the land. More activities, including an historic reenactment of early life in Illinois, are planned. We know what PPSOC means. Who would have guessed what we would become? “You never know!” Sonia Vogl Oregon

Commander Day gave a poignant welcome regarding Veteran’s Day. First a big welcome home and thank you for serving the USA. He explained for us to understand, there is only nine percent of the population of 303 million, who served in the service of the USA. How is that? He asked all the veterans present to stand with applause following. He said, “Today here we are, the minority,” The director and the Oregon High School Choir sang “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Commander Day stated, “A veteran is someone who at one point of his/her life wrote a blank check made payable to the USA for the amount up to and including my life. Now we must honor our veterans in every way we can.” Chaplain Tuttle read the 10 names of deceased this year, VFW and two members of the American Legion. He also led the closing prayer. A rifle salute by the VFW and American Legion Firing Squad, and playing of “Taps” by an Oregon High School member. How can we thank those that took part, the facilities, and those that made this program possible? Thank you. Anna A. Hatzipanagiotis Mt. Morris

Dear Editor, What does PPSOC mean? It’s a question we’re often asked. It’s an acronym for the Prairie Preservation Society of Ogle County – a long name to handle. PPSOC is so much shorter and simpler to remember. We hope people will come to recognize it. PPSOC was founded as a nonprofit Bicentennial organization back in the 1970s. It original goal was to purchase an 11-acre prairie remnant that had never been plowed. After the organization’s founder was gone, the small parcel of land was officially named the Doug Wade Prairie in his honor. “You never know” was one of Wade’s responses when asked why he was doing something that seemed totally ridiculous such as building exclosures to keep cows out of an especially high quality part of a prairie remnant during 95-degree Illinois heat when everything on the other side of the fence looked much more succulent than on their side. The tiny pieces of remnant prairie, lovingly protected, caught the attention of Chicago area botanists and ornithologists. They recognized it as a prime example of prairie, native to Illinois which, when white settlers first arrived, covered over three fourths of the state. The Nature Conservancy was informed of the find. They recognized that the

Academic Bowl season begins The Academic Bowl teams from David L. Rahn Junior high hosted Winnebago on Nov. 4. The seventh graders opened the afternoon. DLR was shellshocked by a talented Indian team. The visitors jumped out to a 10-80 lead at the half. Winnebago answered three out of 10 second half ‘tossup’ questions to secure the win, 40-130. Joel Marquardt provided the lone correct response for DLR. In the eighth grade match, DLR jumped ahead early when Alyssa Theisen provided two correct answers in history. The Eagles fell behind at the break, 50-60.

DLR came back in the second half, answering three ‘toss-up’ questions. At the end of the 17th question, DLR’s Jeffrey Gracyalny, buzzed in with a history response to tie the match. No one responded correctly and after 20 questions, the match remained deadlocked. Five tiebreaker questions later, Eagle Shania Gehrke, tentatively answered a math question for the 120-110 win. The following Wednesday (Nov. 13), the Eagles traveled to Byron to take on the host Tigers. DLR’s eighth graders held their own early and only trailed, 70-125, at the midway point.

The Tigers were too strong down the stretch and were victorious, 105-225. Gracyalny had two correct answers to lead the team. The Eagles’ seventh graders started strong when Evan Ruthe, Tessa Burger and Blake Donmeyer each answered one of the first three ‘toss-up’ questions right. Another correct answer from Ruthe had the visitors holding an 85-45 lead at the half. Both teams cooled considerably in the second half as the questions were challenging. Late in game, Byron made a run but DLR squeaked out the 90-85 win.

For the ninth year, a free community Christmas concert, sponsored by three churches in Mt. Morris, is drawing musicians from this region to celebrate the holidays and support local food pantries.

Stillman comes back to beat Winnebago 34-20 Cardinals move to semifinals By Andy Colbert Reporter For a 230-pounder, Zac Hare demonstrates surprising fast speed in an open field. It was three long runs by Hare that made the difference in Stillman Valley’s 34-20 win over Winnebago in the 3A football playoffs Nov. 16. “He’s a phenomenal running back,” Winnebago coach Mark Helm said. “When he knew he had to have it, he kicked it into another gear.” “A couple of those runs were flat-out will. He refused to go down,” SV coach Mike Lalor said. Hare gave the Cardinals an early 7-0 lead on a 60-yard run. The senior fullback also closed the game out in style with 44 and 38-touchdowns, the latter after he bowled over standout defensive back Nolan Peterson and ran untouched the rest of the way to the end zone. “When they got ahead (2014), I knew I had to make something happen,” Hare said. In typical running-back gratitude, Hare mentioned his “unbelievable” line, but also gave credit to the team’s strength coach. “Dan Lundine gives us the power to keep our legs moving,” Hare added. “You’ve got to keep running on your feet.” In the evenly matched contest between the two BNC powers, Winnebago may have been the more physical team, but the ability of Stillman runners to keep their legs churning surpassed that of their opponent. “Weight training is what we invest our time in and Dan does a great job for us as strength coach,” Lalor said.

Tristan Elliot, a 205-pound running back, also got into the act by breaking through the line of scrimmage on an 11yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter to give the Cardinals a 21-20 lead. “It was a couple broken tackles for us and basic fundamentals they caused us not to execute,” ‘Bago coach Mark Helm said. The loss was especially difficult for Helm and his players after beating Stillman Valley in conference play on its way to an undefeated regular-season mark. It also marked the third straight year the Indians lost in the quarterfinals. “A big difference is this time we didn’t turn the ball over down the stretch, they did,” Lalor said. With the game tied 14-14 at halftime, Helm took a gamble and opted to kick off against the strong wind so it would be at the Indians’ back for the fourth quarter. Midway through the third quarter, Hare was stuffed on a fourthdown try. Winnebago then marched 58 yards for score, with Peterson leaping over a pair of Cardinal defenders for an 8-yard touchdown. That made it 20-14 in favor of Winnebago and on the ensuing possession, Hare was stacked of the first-down marker on a fourth-and-3. “It looked bleak late in the third quarter,” said Lalor, knowing the Indians had a lead and the wind at their back for the final quarter. However, rather than punt into the wind on the final play of the third quarter, Winnebago went for it on fourth-and-6 from its own 22-yard line. A Ryan Swigart pass fell incomplete and the Cardinals suddenly had a short field. Five plays later, Elliot put SV ahead with a touchdown and the fourth-quarter wind

advantage that Winnebago hoped for would never materialize. Instead, it was a punt and two interceptions that ended ‘Bago drives. Stillman Valley (102) moves on to the IHSA semifinals for the sixth time under Lalor and will travel to 3A favorite Aurora Christian. “This season has been unique for us in that we lost in week eight and nine and were able to restart the program,” Lalor said. The last time AC lost in the playoffs was in 2010 to Stillman Valley, 46-16. “They’re the elite team in 3A. It will give us a chance to see where we stand,” Lalor said. The game is scheduled for Saturday at 5 p.m.

Lady Hawks ready for a strong 2013-14 season By Andy Colbert Reporter

Bowlers return a pair of starters from last season By Andy Colbert Reporter

but has been doing it since he could walk,” said his father and coach. “He has a natural release and straight arm swing.” Miranda is the exact opposite. “Joe has a violent release and his swing is all over the place,” Nordman said. “His scores fluctuate up and down, but he is at least able to repeat the motion and it works for him.” Another sophomore that was being counted on was Brandon Taylor, who got hurt last year in football and is still trying to recover from a knee injury. Plenty of upperclassmen help is available with seniors

A. J. Nordman and Joe “He’s bowled year round and Miranda have very different had an equipment change.” styles of bowling, but are Nordman sees Winnebago, both capable of regularly Rockford Lutheran and the shooting 600-plus series. Hawks as the top contenders Nordman also brings back in the conference. some renown after bowling Other bowlers are juniors a 300 on his way to the Jacob Harshman, Jordan individual conference title. Mingus and newcomer “He doesn’t bowl much, Josh Cook. Freshmen Zack Hawkins and Kyle Lindquist will bowl for the jayvee. “With this team, we should be competitively better at the end of the year,” Nordman said. In his 11th season, Nordman got a pleasant surprise as the Hawks had their highest score ever on the road in the first match of the year. With five of its six bowlers over 600, Oregon defeated Mendota 3,680-3,676. “I wasn’t expecting that.” Nordman said. A major difference in how bowling is formatted by the IHSA is the addition of regionals to the post season. Previously, all teams went straight to 12 sectionals. Now, eight to 10 teams will enter a regional with four of those teams advancing to one of four statewide sectionals. “It will make for a better state tournament,” Nordman said. “The Rockford and St. Louis area have the best bowlers and some of them haven’t been able to advance. Joe Miranda releases the ball at the foul line during There is a more even practice Tuesday afternoon. Photo by Chris Johnson disbursement of talent now.”

This is the year the Oregon girls basketball community has been waiting for. Led by career scoring leader Sam Lambrigtsen, fellow 4-year starter McKaylee Beeter and junior Emy Wright, the Lady Hawks look to be a major player in the Big Northern conference race and IHSA state tournament. Last year, the team finished 23-7 and lost to Byron in the finals of the regional, which in actuality was a matchup of the two best teams in the sectional complex. The previous year, another 20-win Oregon squad advanced to the regional final, but lost to Stillman Valley, who made it downstate. In coach Kristy Eckardt’s (62-29 record) first season in 2010, Oregon did win a regional and helped lay the foundation for the success she has had the past three years. “These seniors have been waiting their whole lives for this,” Eckardt said. “They’ve been playing together that long. We have a ton of senior leadership.” Lambrigtsen comes into the season as one of the top players to come through the school and will a major key to be the team’s success as point guard. “Definitely, she’ll be the player that other teams will be gunning for. She’ll be our floor leader,” Eckardt said. “I think people will be pleased to see how much better she’s gotten.” The other player that teams will focus on is Wright, the most athletic player on the team. A unique advantage that Eckardt sees in the Lambrigtsen/Wright combination is both are left-handed and it makes defending them harder. “Emy can attack the basket, is a great shooter

and is strong,” Eckardt said. “She fits in with Sam and McKaylee that way.” Beeter will be the shooting specialist, especially from the 3-point range. “With her height (5-foot8), she’s working on going inside more,” Eckardt said. “She’ll bring a lot of diversity as both and inside/outside player.” The Lady Hawks will need to replace the physicality of graduated starters Devin Absher and Bree Tourtillott. Eckardt has a load of seniors to pick from, including McCahl and Madeline Sanders, Kimmie Janke, Kelci Foss, Angela Nordman, Kasey Lapp and Kaitlin Oltmanns. “From top to bottom, all girls can contribute. That group of seniors us at a similar level,” Eckardt added. The numbers at the junior class are low, with Megan Boehle and Kelsey Pudlas the only girls besides Wright that are out. Eckardt had hoped for a few more returnees, but

several volleyball players opted not to come out. Similar to last year, Oregon will speed up the game in an attempt to make up for its lack of size. No girls is taller than 5-8. “We want to keep the tempo going, pressing and the rushing the ball up the court. We’ll make it more about speed than a half-court game with 6-2 players,” Eckardt said. “Sure, we’ll be short as always, but we’ll be short and aggressive. They’ll play bigger than they are.” Once again, the BNC race should be extremely competitive. Rockford Lutheran lost an all-state guard, but return most of its team; Mendota only had one senior last year; Byron graduated a strong senior class, but had talent and size in its underclassmen; and Rock Falls has a tradition of winning. “The conference will be close again and I expect us to be right in there,” Eckardt said.

Hawks’ history with Beebe began in basketball Aurora Christian coach was on Kaneland team By Brian Weidman Sauk Valley Media When people think of Don Beebe the athlete, one play comes to mind. It was in Super Bowl XXVII, when his Buffalo Bills lost to the Dallas Cowboys 52-17. It could have been worse, if not for Beebe. Late in that game, Dallas defensive tackle Leon Lett recovered a fumble and rumbled toward the end zone. He prematurely raised the ball with his right hand before crossing the goal line, however, and Beebe, one the NFL’s fastest players, chased him down and knocked the ball away, saving a touchdown. Beebe played nine seasons in the NFL, caught 219 passes

for 3,416 yards, and scored 25 touchdowns. He also played in six Super Bowls – four with Buffalo and two with Green Bay. My memory of Beebe, though, precedes his NFL days, and it involves the Oregon Hawks. Beebe was a three-sport (football, basketball and track) athlete at Kaneland High School (class of 1983, just like me), and a broad smile came over his face when I brought up a basketball game during his junior year that I happened to attend. It was a sectional game against Oregon, and Beebe helped the Knights pull out a narrow victory over the Hawks. “I made a steal with not much time left on the clock – I think it was under 10 seconds,” Beebe said. “I made the steal, took a couple of dribbles, dished it to Bill Mangers, and he made the shot at the buzzer to beat

Oregon. That was something else.” Beebe attended college at tiny Chadron (Neb.) State, after transferring from Western Illinois, and was drafted in the second round by the Bills in 1989. He turned heads at the NFL Combine with a time of 4.21 in the 40-yard dash, and that blazing speed helped him stay in the league for nine seasons. In 1998, he founded a company called the House of Speed, to train athletes in the essentials of top performance, speed, and character. The business now has locations in 11 states. He’s coached football at Aurora Christian since 2004, and has built the program into a powerhouse. The Eagles have won the last two 3A state titles, and are 96-25 under his watch – including three wins against Oregon the past 4 years in the playoffs. It’s not just about the wins and losses, he stressed.

“I just enjoy coaching kids, and helping them fulfill their dreams,” Beebe said. “I remember when I was a kid and had those dreams as a

high school athlete, and that’s why I’m at the high school level. I’m having the time of my life.” Stillman Valley plays

OHS track and field coach to enter Hall of Fame Jan. 11 induction for Doug Engle An Oregon High School track coach is one of seven coaches who have been voted into the Illinois Track & Cross Country Coaches Association’s Coaches Hallof-Fame at a recent Hall-ofFame Committee meeting. Doug Engle will be inducted at the annual ITCCCA Hall-of-Fame Banquet on Jan. 11, 2014. The selection meeting takes place in October each year. ITCCCA by-laws allow

the committee to select up to seven members each year. This year there were nearly 40 coaches nominated. The committee consists of 18 Hall-of-Fame coaches through Illinois. Each region of the state is represented. Eighteen of those coaches cast votes this year. Each of the candidates was discussed at length with concern focusing on the three Cs - Coaching record, Contribution to the sports outside of coaching, and Character. The committee was faced with a tough task of only

Three Oregon High School volleyball players were selected to the Big Northern Conference, West Division, All-Conference team. Oregon’s Delaney Mahoney, a junior, was the lone unanimous selection. Emy Wright, also a junior, and Sommer Rhea, a sophomore, were also selected to the

selecting seven inductees. Each of the members present placed a secret ballot where they were allowed to vote for seven coaches. The votes were cast and counted. Engle, who has coached at Oregon High School for more than 20 years, has been one of the most successful throws coaches in Illinois. Every year he has coached, he has qualified at least one thrower to the IHSA state track and field meet. He has coached 64 state qualifiers with 16 of his athletes earning All-State honors.

In six of his seasons, he has qualified at least four different athletes to the state meet. Once he qualified six different athletes. According to a ITCCCA nomination press release, Engle has proven he is a hard worker, always running one or both of the throw events at

most meets. A true technician of the throw events, he won ITCCCA’s assistant coach of the year award in 1999 and is known as a coach who can make the average athlete into a great athlete. Other coaches selected are: Derrick R. Calhoun (Chicago Morgan High School);

David Jokisch (Carlinville High School); Jim Martin (Wheaton North High School); John McInerney (Eastern Illinois University); Irv Sanderson (Erie and Prophetstown High Schools); Pete Struck (Rich Township and Carl Sandburg High Schools).

Sports Column Pride and envy clouded football game prediction By Andy Colbert Reporter It was with anxious anticipation that I drove up Ill. 2 last Friday for a chat with the Rockford Lutheran football team. The coach knew why I was coming up, but his players didn’t. With the team prepping for one last workout before facing Harvard the next day, this wasn’t going to be a pep talk or anything like it. Rather, it would be a case of me gaining a much-needed dose of humility. Here’s the back-story.

About two months ago, in this very same column, I made reference to Lutheran being an overrated football team and that Oregon possibly could beat them. At that time, Lutheran was ranked No. 2 in the 4A poll, which I wrote was “out of kilter”. I also made a point of mentioning that Rochelle was unranked in 4A, but would put a running clock (win by 40 points or more) on Lutheran. Well, I got my wish as Lutheran and Rochelle met in the playoffs. However, it wasn’t a 40-point Rochelle victory. Instead, it was a 2722 Lutheran win, leaving me with an emotional hangover. In the days leading up to that game, I felt some guilt about writing what I did about Lutheran being overrated

and how Rochelle would obliterate them, but still told anyone that would listen that the Hubs would easily win by around three touchdowns. How could a school with an enrollment of 397, long known as high school football doormat, have any business being on the same field with a 3-time state semifinalist from a 5A power conference? On paper, Rochelle looked like a sure thing, but one thing that can’t be measured on “paper” is heart. I vastly under-estimated the heart and toughness of a Lutheran football player. And for me to have the audacity to predict the results of a future event is rather vain. That’s just my ego taking over. Pride and envy also clouded my judgment. As

a Rochelle grad, there was envy of Lutheran being ranked No. 2 and my former school unranked. That seemed unjust so to assuage my pride, I bashed the other guy in print. Maybe prejudice got in the way too. After Lutheran decisively beat Oregon in 2012, it was somewhat difficult to accept how they got so good so fast. You know, the private vs. public school argument. Oh well, Rochelle would give the Crusaders their comeuppance, or so I thought. In the end, it doesn’t matter - private vs public, BNC vs. NIB-12, new kid on the block vs. neighborhood bully. What does matter is that I was wrong for making derogatory comments about Lutheran’s football team and some kind of amends were in

order. I shared that with Lutheran coach Bruce Bazsali after the Rochelle game and he eagerly invited me to Rockford to address his players and coaches. So, that’s what I ended up doing. When I got to the school, coach Bazsali warmly greeted me and introduced me to the team. The anxious anticipation I had on the drive up soon turned to ease and comfort. As I explained what I had written about them and where I was at fault, the Lutheran players and coaches generously offered forgiveness. It was both painful and a blow to my ego when Rochelle lost to Lutheran, especially after what I had written. But, isn’t pain the touchstone for all spiritual

growth? As I drove back to Oregon after meeting with the folks from Lutheran, indeed I felt a tremendous sense of gratitude for the opportunity to grow from this experience.

For many years he wrote the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prophecy Pageâ&#x20AC;? in the Restitution Herald, and later authored the column â&#x20AC;&#x153;Verses to Live By.â&#x20AC;? Jim is survived by his eight children, Mike (Barbara), Ruth (John) Pendergrass, Rebekah (Joe) Martin, Betsy (Steve) Moore), Ben (Deb), John (Pat), Steve (Beth), and Tim (Anne); as well as two step-children Tim (Beth) Jones and Rebecca (Dave)

Dauksas; 22 grandchildren; and 33 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wives, Mary Helen and Martha; and also by stepdaughter Melody Ballard and her husband Bob.

Oregon School Bd. may raise tax levy By Vinde Wells Editor Like many other taxing bodies, the Oregon School District’s shrinking value may mean higher real estate taxes for residents. Superintendent Tom Mahoney told the school board Monday that he is recommending increasing the district’s total tax levy by 2.5 percent, meaning a possible Joyce Stephens holds a Nativity themed tapestry that will be on display at the Methodist Church.

Mahoney said district finances are currently in good shape, and spending is where it should be at this stage of the fiscal year, which began July 1. The state has caught up on the GSA payments owed to the district for last year, he said. Currently, the state is owes the district only $300,000 for this year. However, Mahoney said the state has reduced the amount of GSA it is obligated to pay school districts. “The reason they’re no longer behind is because they’re paying us less,” he said. In an effort to curb expenses, some time ago the district hired Expense Reduction Analysts, a Chicago firm that studies how businesses and taxing bodies can operate more efficiently financially. Mahoney said the firm’s analysis of the district’s spending showed school officials are being frugal. The only area of concern, he said, was that the district is paying too much for property insurance.
