Village Board will go forward with TIF district

By Chris Johnson Reporter A second tax increment financing (TIF) district is in the works in Mt. Morris.

After a quick vote without discussion, the board rescinded the vote and held a discussion before approving

the plan. “It is a $30,000 cost to do the TIF district,� said trustee Jon Murray. “The money generated will come from increased property values.�

Murray said growth in the village may not be immediate with the creation of the village’s second TIF district.

“We need to take a hard look at growth,� he said.

A member of the audience asked what the first TIF district did for the village and how it benefited residents. “TIF 1 versus TIF 2 are different areas,� said village president Dan Elsasser. “TIF 1 is undeveloped and

industrial. We are generating zero funds from it.�

The Kable News property on Hitt Street and the Quad Graphics property are within original TIF district. Both of those businesses have closed their doors in the village. “TIF 2 is more retail,� said Elsasser. “We feel if there

is going to be growth this is where it is.�

Murray said the village has taken a hit in recent years. “We need incentives to develop,� Murray said. “We will need to promote Mt. Morris.�

In other business, trustee Don Sorensen asked if

the board will consider an annexation agreement with Mt. Morris Estates.

The question stems from wastewater rate increases to the property.

The Mt. Morris Estates are outside the village limits but some of the units use the Turn to A3

Donated tractor sold for charity The 1966 tractor was hard to miss when visitors walked into the 2014 Hazelhurst Spring Consignment Sale on Saturday.

Yes, John Deere tractors always draw the interest of the green and gold faithful, but this one was starting to catch the eyes of others.

Maybe it was the way the sun sparkled off the bright green and gold while a burst of red, white and blue in a smartly designed American flag, seemed to unfurl across the 4020’s hood.

Or was it the buzz that 75 percent of the sale price would be donated to the Polo Lions Club?

Either way, the interest level was high when auctioneer Lenny Bryson started to sell the “parade ready� tractor. “This John Deere 1040 has been donated by the Bocker family. Seventy-five percent of the sale price will go to the Polo Lions Club and the other 25 percent will go to a charity that the buyer wants it to go to,� said Bryson. “In other words, the Bocker family is donating this tractor. What a great, great donation.�

The bidding quickly reached $21,000. “This is all for a great

cause folks,� said Bryson in between bids. “What a great tractor. Now $21,500 do I hear $22,000...yesss...now how about $22,500?�

After a another minute or so, Bryson closed the deal. “Going once, twice, sold!

You all know the story, we want to thank you all very, very much,� he said.

Chuck McCormick, Geneva, was the successful bidder for the tractor and it was the only item he bought at the sale. “I collect tractors so I probably will add it to my collection,� he said on Monday.

The tractor was being used as a “chore� tractor when the Bocker family saw a brand new life for the faded green diesel workhorse. “We bought it when it was in pretty hard shape,� said Mark Bocker, Polo, as he took a break from helping at the Polo Lions Club food booth. “It was being used as a chore tractor. It needed mechanical repairs and miscellaneous repairs.�

Donating the tractor was a way his family could give back to the Polo Lions Club which has been a commitment for generations Turn to A2

Large crowd turns out for sale

By Earleen Hinton General Manager A perfect spring day greeted winter-weary bidders last Saturday at the annual Hazelhurst Spring Consignment Sale, west of Polo.

An estimated crowd of between 5,000-6,000 descended on the 30-acre site with each visitor taking his or her time to walk by rows of farm machinery, cars, and a

miscellaneous mix of this and the occasional “what the heck is that?� “We had a real good turnout,� said Lyle Hopkins, who owns and operates Public Auction Service, Polo, with his wife, Sheryl. “No one was able to get out and work in the fields yet so we could not have asked for a more beautiful day.�

Temperatures in the high 50s, sunny skies, and a 60plus year tradition helped

bring the crowd to the sale site on Saturday. “With all the weather we’ve had this year, we really lucked out,� said Hopkins.

The sale has been held west of Polo near the tiny hamlet of Hazelhurst ever since Sheryl’s mother and father, Ruth and Ellery Shank, hosted the first sale on their 30-acre farm site in the 1940s.

It started as a venue where local farmers could buy and

sell farm machinery. Now, in addition to farm machinery, the sale also includes a wide variety of other items including cars, trucks, lawn tractors, all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles, snowblowers, lumber, tires, and other miscellaneous “finds.�

Vehicles, primarily pick-up trucks hauling trailers of all sizes, were Turn to A10

McMahon was arrested in Rockford. As of Tuesday, it was unclear as to where Deiter was arrested.

McMahon is accused of shooting Wyatt Ackerson, 19, Byron, during a confrontation at a party in the early morning hours of March 22 at a residence on North Hoisington Road, northwest of Byron.

Ackerson remains in the hospital.

Deiter is being held in the Ogle County Jail in lieu of $75,000 bond, Versluys said.

She was arraigned March 28, and a public defender was appointed then to represent her.

Although Deiter was taken into custody March 24, the report of her arrest has not appeared on the Ogle County Sheriff’s website that lists arrests.

Rock said last week that he knew of no arrests in the case

other than McMahon.

A juvenile may also be involved in the incident, Rock said Tuesday, but he would not give further details.

McMahon, a parolee, is currently being held in the Winnebago County Jail. He has also been charged with a shooting in Winnebago County.

According to Illinois Department of Corrections

(IDOC) records, McMahon was paroled from state prison in July of 2013.

He was sentenced to three years in the IDOC in 2010 after being convicted on several charges, including armed robbery (no firearm) and possession of a firearm by a gang member.

All the offenses occurred in Winnebago County.

Committee selects low bidder for sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building

By Vinde Wells Editor The low bidder for a new sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration building got the nod Tuesday from the Ogle County Long Range & Strategic Planning Committee.

The committee agreed to recommend Rockford Structures to the full county board as the contractor for the $4 million project.

Seven contractors submitted base bids which ranged from $3.9 million to $4.5 million.

Architect Guy Gehlhausen of Saavedra Gehlhausen Architects, Rockford, estimated that the project will total $4.1 million with all costs, including a $200,000 contingency, added in.

The county board is expected to vote on the contractor at its April 15

meeting.

The proposed location for the new building has met with some opposition.

Plans call for the building to be located at 103 Jefferson Street, Oregon, where the current sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office is situated.

County board member Ron Colson, Mt. Morris, asked the county board in January to delay moving ahead with the project because that location is part of the City of Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Comprehensive Plan for a Riverfront District.

Colson said the property is a key part of planned development to promote tourism in the city, which would also financially benefit the county.

He said he favors building on the property the county owns on Sixth Street across from the judicial center.

Colson was a member

of the Oregon Planning Commission that helped map the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Comprehensive Plan, adopted by the city council approximately 10 years ago.

The Comprehensive Plan includes a river walk stretching along the west side of the Rock River from Kiwanis Park behind Conover Square almost to Carnation Park.

The plan calls for retail shops, an outdoor market, and scenic seating along the river.

Colson said building the new sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office on Sixth Street would put it closer to the judicial center and courthouse, creating a â&#x20AC;&#x153;government campus.â&#x20AC;?

Oregon Mayor Tom Stone told the County Infrastructure Committee in February that he has heard no opposition from residents about the new

Board takes no action on annexation request From A1 village wastewater system.

Property owner Ken Hauck approached the board March 25 to discuss lowering the wastewater rates or being annexed into the village.

Rates for users outside the village are being set at double the cost of residents.

Hauck asked for a rate 125 percent of the in town rate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want to think carefully about annexation,â&#x20AC;? said attorney Eric Morrow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will impact all departments.â&#x20AC;?

Sorensen asked if the village could only annex the land and not the structures and roads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can attempt to exclude everything but the land,â&#x20AC;? said Morrow.

Murray cautioned the board to not rush a decision.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is looking for lower rates,â&#x20AC;? Murray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are pros and cons of annexation.â&#x20AC;?

No action was taken on annexation and the board may discuss the issue at a future meeting.

The board also approved a motion to allow Jerry Stauffer to work with engineer Corey Buck of Willett Hoffman and Associates for bid specificationss on a street lighting project.

Plans being discussed include replacing the old deteriorating street lights around the campus and in downtown Mt. Morris.

The bid packet will be broken into three parts: preparation, campus, and the rest of the downtown.

Preparation would include the bases for the new lamps and running electrical wire and conduit around the campus square.

Part 2 would be the street lights on the campus square in downtown Mt. Morris.

The final part would be the remainder of downtown.

Currently the board has $250,000 in the budget for the project, and depending on costs, the work may be completed over two years.

Officials in Mt. Morris also reminded residents that there is no spring leaf curbside pickup.

Leaves in approved containers will however be picked up by Rochelle Disposal according to the contract with the village and residents.

By Karen Merlak Our patience in waiting for the nice weather has finally paid off. It was a beautiful weekend to be outside and enjoy all that nature has to offer.

It seems that everyone was out cleaning their yard and getting ready for a season of growth. God is great.

This morning in church, I had the honor of greeting our church family. I especially love to welcome everyone as we gather to worship. The childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message was given

by Pastor Gregg Downs.

Pastor Gregg also had a special reading for the Lenten season. Martha Johannssen read the scripture for the morningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message.

Catherine Stauffer and Mary Ley joined us for the morning worship service.

asked if they would allow a walkway through their properties to connect the parks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one was interested,â&#x20AC;? he said.

He said the proposed building will be more attractive than the current one, which is more than a century old.

He disagreed with putting the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office on S. Sixth Street in a residential area.

A better place for the river walk would be on the east side of the river, he said, pointing out that some properties there are for sale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone in the city would like to have a nice river walk,â&#x20AC;? Stone said.

The new administration building will house the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department, 911 communications center,

and the coronerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and morgue.

The current morgue will be demolished to make way for the new one-story building, which will be situated on the east side of the property facing First Street.

The present sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office will be torn down after the new building is completed.

The money for the new building will come from the Long Range Planning Fund, as did the $15 million judicial center finished in 2005, and the $7.5 million courthouse remodeling project completed in 2010.

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 amount to approximately $3 million per year.

They played four songs on several instruments.

Catherine played the violin and Mary played the Native American flute and guitar.

Larry Riffle met our guests through the bluegrass music events.

Holy Week is fast approaching. Pastor Gregg will once again lead a Maundy Thursday service on April 17 at 7 p.m.

The Polo pastors will join together in a community Good Friday Service at the Church of the Brethren on April 18 at 7 p.m. Both services will be very meaningful.

This past Tuesday evening, our PEO Chapter DW met at the home of Beverly Coffman. We had a wonderful meeting with Jeanne Scholl giving a very informative program. The evening ended with Beverlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous sandwiches.

The Pine Creek crowd

included Vicki Hay, Judy Nettz, Lisa Coffman, Jean Cunningham, and Maggie Henning. It was so nice to see such a full house at Beverlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Also on Tuesday evening, Clint asked if I would come to his first track meet to watch him. Clint competed in the shot put and discus. I was also able to see Matt in the long jump as their events were taking place next to each other.

It was a very long evening in the freezing cold temperatures and bitter wind. When Clint finished his events, we headed home. Matt had a few more events to follow, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the chance to see him.

Congratulations to the entire Marco track team on all your hard work so far.

Hopefully, the temperatures will keep warming up.

For anyone who is saddened by a loss, God offers comfort so that we may go on. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how I could have come this far without God to talk to and lean on. He is here for you, too.

I hope to see you next week at our little church in the country.

“Our commitment to building a prosperous future for agriculture starts with the investments we have made with our scholarship recipients,” said 1st Farm Credit Services President/ CEO Gary J. Ash. “These students – and those that came before them – cultivate a passion for agriculture and will become the future leaders needed in Illinois agriculture and rural communities.”

Recipients were selected from a pool of 145 applicants based on their future commitment to rural America, academic achievement, community activities and agriculture involvement. An independent panel of leaders in farming, agribusiness, youth and education selected the scholarship recipients.

In the fall, Hanlin plans to attend Joliet Junior College to pursue a degree in agriculture

education.

She plans to transfer to Western Illinois University to complete a four-year degree and become an agriculture teacher.

A banquet and formal presentation of the scholarships will be hosted by 1st Farm Credit Services for the students and their parents in June.

4-H survives due to the numerous volunteers National Volunteer Week is about inspiring, recognizing and encouraging people to seek out imaginative ways to engage in their communities.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about demonstrating to the nation that by working together, we have the strength to meet our challenges and accomplish our goals.

National Volunteer Week is about taking action and encouraging individuals and their respective communities to be at the center of social change, discovering and actively demonstrating their collective power to make a difference.

Illinois 4-H wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t survive without its volunteers, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that simple.

More than 22,000 adult volunteers serve Illinois 4-H members every day. A survey last year demonstrated the important job they do.

The survey showed 95 percent of 4-H youth feel included in their 4-H program; 96 percent of 4-H youth say they get help from adult volunteers when they need it; and 95 percent of 4-H youth say adult leaders listen to what they say.

In a study done in 2010, it was learned that 75 percent of 4-H volunteers serve 10 months out of the year and often increase the number of hours of volunteer service to an average of seven hours per week in the summer months. They spend four hours weekly in planning and preparation for 4-H meetings, events, and activities.

Volunteersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hard work is well-known to Illinois 4-H, and Although National Volunteer Week comes just once a year, Illinois 4-H appreciate their work every day of the year.

In Ogle County, 42 volunteers are inspiring youth involved in county and local 4-H club programs.

Public Voice Science Fair was a success Dear Editor, The Oregon Elementary Science Fair was a huge success again this year.

142 students entered 120 projects making this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair the biggest since its inception 14 years ago.

Projects are becoming more sophisticated with the increase in participation.

Kindergarten students through sixth grade entered projects ranging from discovering the properties of flowers to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Microorganism Maniaâ&#x20AC;? a study of microorganisms in the Rock River.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best In Show went to Ella Martin for her project investigating â&#x20AC;&#x153;How freeze thaw weather elements effect asphalt road ways.â&#x20AC;?

I would like to thank the Oregon Republican Reporter for all the press the Science

Fair received; it made a noticable difference in attendance and participation.

Teachers and staff also need to be recognized for supporting the Science Fair by their diligence in helping with paperwork, planning and setting up, and guiding our young scientists as they work on their projects.

The high school judges are to be recognized for their time and talent they donate each year.

The Oregon Elementary Science Fair is truly a community effort.

The 2014 grade level winners are: Kindergarten: Jayden Rogers, First Grade: Brennan Carr, Second Grade: Rivers and Ethan Schaefer, Third Grade: Olivia and Owen Wynn, Fourth Grade: Mia Trampel, Lena Trampel, and Tori Marchetti, Fifth Grade: McKenna Tramble and Lydia Cermak, Sixth Grade: Eddie Buttens,

This first ever event could not have happened without the help from Diane Palmer and Joyce and Leonard Bruns and the following generous sponsors: Alfanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pizzeria and Italian, Baslerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ace hardware, Byron Bank, Community Bank of Oregon, DP Website Maintenance, Empty Pockets, Estes Secretarial Services, F N Smith, First National Bank, Fifth Alarm, Flower Patch, GH Hom Builders, Greg Watt and Family, Haileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Winery and Vineyard LTD, Hanlin Automotive, Harmony Hills Bed and Breakfast, Illinois Renewable Energy, Jen Artisian Breads, Joanneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Total Image Salon and Spa, Just Imagine Photography + Designs, Kaczmarzyk Agency Inc., Kaufmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SuperValu, Leombruniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Maplehurst Farms, Martin and Company, Maxsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Oak Lane, Ogle County Farm Bureau, Oregon Lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club, Oregon Powerhouse BBQ, Performing Arts Guild, Prairieview Golf Club, RE/

Rock River Center and the seniors of Ogle County can never thank them enough.

The staff at Rock River Center all helped out where they could. A big thank you goes out to them also.

The cooking teams though were the ones that made the event. Businesses, groups, family and friends came up with their best recipes and kept the crowd of nearly 400 fed throughout the evening.

We also want to take a moment to thank the many individual volunteers that walked the event for various raffles and game boards.

You all did a wonderful job with the crowd and your efforts are appreciated.

As everyone was leaving the event the common phrase heard was â&#x20AC;&#x153;See You Next Yearâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cookinâ&#x20AC;? is being planned for 2015. We will be looking for participation from all of Ogle County both for sponsorship and cooking teams as we hope to increase the number of teams each year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cookinâ&#x20AC;??

Ogle County is Cookinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and we look forward to seeing another great turn out for 2015. Thank you to everyone.

Harn memo says no more collection for Tow Fund

By Matt Mencarini Sauk Valley Media In an internal memo dated April 1, Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn said his department would no longer collect the administrative tow fee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will continue to tow vehicles subsequent to arrest; however we will no longer distribute the vehicle seizure paperwork, nor require owners to remit the $350 impound fee,â&#x20AC;? Harn wrote in the memo.

The fee has generated much controversy in recent months.

Ogle County Board Chairman Kim Gouker said the decision did not come from the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a decision of the sheriff,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Additionally, Gouker said it was his interpretation of the administrative tow fund ordinance that the department and its deputies didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the discretion to waive the tow fee.

Harn didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return a request for comment.

The key portion of the ordinance, Gouker said, says that the fee â&#x20AC;&#x153;shall be imposed on the registered owner or lesseeâ&#x20AC;? of any vehicle impounded.

Gouker spoke with Harn about the issue Tuesday, he said, and asked him to review the ordinance and his decision.

Gouker said he also sought Ogle County Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorney Mike Rock Tuesday for a legal interpretation of the ordinance and who can call for stopping the fee.

As of this afternoon, Gouker said he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard back from Rock.

The ordinance, which the County Board passed in October 2011, allows the county to collect a $350 administrative fee to tow vehicles, such as those resulting from a DUI arrest.

Between October 2011 and November 2013, $210,400 was deposited into the tow fund, which the ordinance allowed to be spent at the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discretion.

In December, Sauk Valley Media reported that Harn

had used money from the tow fund to pay for repairs to department vehicles, a tent at the Ogle County Fair, a $4,000 management fee for the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page, and flowers for Secretaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, among other expenses.

About a third of the $210,400 in the tow fund during its first 2 years came from sources of revenue other than tow fees, including donations and reimbursements from Exelon Corp. and reimbursements for prisoner transport (35 cents a mile), among others.

In February, the Count Board restricted what the tow fund could be used for. This month, the board is expected to discuss restricting the sources of revenue for the tow fund.

In the March 18 Republican primary election, Harn lost a close three-way race to Brian VanVickle, a Rochelle police officer.

The Democratic Party has no candidate yet, and the general election is Nov. 4.

The new term starts Dec. 1.

Pancake breakfast is April 19 The Leaf River Lions Club will sponsor an all you can eat pancake breakfast on Saturday, April 19 from 7 to 10 a.m. at the Bertolet Memorial Building.

On the menu will be pancakes, warm syrup, whole hog sausage, applesauce, orange juice, milk, and coffee.

The Easter Bunny will be at the breakfast also for the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainment. They can also have their picture taken with the Easter Bunny if

so desired.

The Lions sponsored Easter Egg Hunt will immediately follow the breakfast at 10 a.m.

Proceeds from the breakfast will go toward the cost of fireworks for the May 30, 31, and June 1 Summer Daze Festival.

DLR track teams start their seasons On April 7, members of the David L. Rahn Junior High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys track team began their competitive season with a dual meet at Byron.

The seventh grade team finished the meet with 20 points while Byron collected 85 total points.

While all the athletes performed well, the following athletes scored points with their first, second or third place finishes.

The teams only first place finish came from Ryan Lazansky in the 1600 meters with a time of 6:12.89. He also finished second in the 400M in 1:11.95.

Also finishing second in the meet were: Pierce Ruit, long jump, 14â&#x20AC;&#x2122;; Connor Young, 200M hurdles, 35.59; and Jake Mennen 800M, 2:46.54.

The boys state tournament was the first of any high school sport, having begun in 1908.

It remained the granddaddy of all IHSA tournaments until the football playoffs began to overtake it in popularity around the 1980s.

If there is a preeminent boys basketball program in Ogle County it would be Forreston.

Since the IHSA went away from the 1-class tournament in 1972, the Cardinals are the only school to make it downstate (1988).

Additionally, they have won four sectionals, compared to one each for Byron (2007), Mt. Morris (1983), Oregon (1979) and Rochelle (1928).

Also going back in history, Forreston had powerhouse teams from 1956-58, going a combined 85-7 and winning three straight regionals, quite a feat for a small school in a 1-class system.

Another quirky tidbit concerns a former Cardinal coach Steve Sandholm (1983/84).

Later in his coaching career, Sandholm is likely the only person in Illinois to coach at four schools

(Rochelle, Jacksonville, Mt. Carroll, Dixon) in one year.

The longest recorded basketball game in the county was between Polo and Mt. Morris on January 5, 1968, a 6-overtime win by the Mounders, 79-77.

Mt. Morris also has the distinction of winning four straight regionalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from 1973 to 1976 in what was the golden era of Mounder boys basketball.

The girls of Mt. Morris also had a run of three straight regional titles in the early 80s.

The first girls state tournament sanctioned by the IHSA was not basketball.

Instead it was tennis in 1972, perhaps a reflection of tennis being played by females in the decades leading up to then.

State tournaments in other girls sports soon followed throughout the 1970s, with the most memorable from this area being Sterling winning the first-ever basketball tournament contested in 1977.

The girls from Byron and Stillman Valley have been downstate three times and Forreston once, in 1981.

Oregon, Polo and Rochelle are still waiting for their first sectional title.

1600M, 5:31.68 and 800M, 2:34.28.

The relay team took a clean sweep of first place finishes: 400M relay, Bryce Karper, Cade Gorzny, Jaspreet Gill and Nicholas Zalzalah; 800M relay Bryce Karper, Cade Gorzny, Dawson Rudis and Kyle Cermak; and 1600M relay Dawson Rudis, Ian Hussung, Jacob Cullen and Kyle Cermak.

What about basketball in 2015?

Lady Hawks down Dixon in April 5 doubleheader

By Patrick Petrosky Shaw Media

By Andy Colbert Reporter

If there was such thing as a third-inning stretch, the Oregon Hawks used it to their full advantage ... while the Dixon Duchesses saw it backfire on them in an April 5 doubleheader at Reynolds Park in Dixon.

The Duchesses had control of the first game early on, as they scored seven runs in the first three innings. However, the Hawks made a comeback to capture an 8-7 win in the opener.

The top of the order for Dixon was stellar, as its top four batters accounted for six out of the seven runs scored.

Pitcher Erin Smith was right in the heart of it all, as she had four hits, and a pair each of RBIs and runs.

“I think when we came out, we came out with intensity and fire,” Smith said. “Once we got our lead, I think we assumed that the runs didn’t

matter. They started to add up near the end.”

In the top of the fourth, Oregon produced four runs to begin to chip away at the daunting deficit it faced.

“A lot of us bouncing back was just staying focused and concentrating at the plate, and understanding what the pitcher is going to allow us,” Oregon coach Jay Holley said. “Once we figured out the strike zone, we figured it out pretty good.”

In the bottom of the fifth, the Hawks used their defense to gain momentum and turn the tide. Smith was up to bat for the Duchesses, and ripped a high line drive into left field that appeared to be a shoe-in for a base hit.

Luckily for Oregon, Ally Bartling showed off her range as she cruised toward the ball, and used every bit of her wingspan to rob the base hit. Bre Cullen then got some work in at the hot corner, as she snagged a screaming

line drive down the line for another out. She ended the inning by ranging to her left and fielding a grounder like clockwork.

“We pulled together,” Bartling said. “Our hitting was down, our fielding was down, but we got our confidence back up when we started hitting the ball and running the bases well.”

Bartling then showed off her hitting prowess in the top of the sixth. She smacked a fly ball into the left-center gap and was standing on third with a triple when the dust settled. This jump-started a two-out, three-run rally that knotted up the game at seven runs apiece.

In the final frame, Bartling again came through in the clutch, as she stepped to the plate with a runner on second.

Small-ball got the job done, as she knocked in the runner from second with a base hit into right, proving to be the game winning run.

The Oregon High School boys track team finished second at their Five Team Meet on April 1.

Dixon won the meet.

Polo-Forreston placed third followed by Genoa-Kingston in fourth and Dakota in fifth.

Listed here are the top finishers for Oregon.

“We committed too many errors; we had nine errors in that first game,” said Dixon coach Chris Jones. “You can’t have that many errors against any team and expect to survive with any lead. We also left a lot on base; we should’ve pushed in more runs, but we didn’t.”

Oregon used the

momentum from the first win as a catalyst for the tail end of the doubleheader.

The Hawks started off with four straight hits in their first at bat, and an excellent display of small-ball resulted in four runs.

Oregon didn’t look back, cruising to a 15-2 victory in five innings.

Hawks edge Morrison, Lady Hawks lose in five innings The Hawks baseball team edged Morrison 2-1 on April 7.

Tyler Blume and Josh Cook drove in runs to lead the Hawks to a nonconference road victory.

Matt Murray allowed two hits and struck out five in the win, and Taylor Brubaker pitched the final three

innings for the save.

The Lady Hawks fell to Morrison 11-0 in five innings.

Alli Henson’s double was the offensive highlight for the Hawks. Abby Baker took the loss.

On April 1, the baseball and softball teams lost games to Big Northern Conference

rivals.

A late rally by the Lady Hawks proved to be too late as Oregon came up short against Byron 7-4.

Oregon trailed 7-0 entering the fourth inning, and scored in three of the final four frames.

Sommer Rhea had three hits and two stolen bases,

while Alana Leamanczyk added two hits and three RBIs. Bre Bicksler also drove in a run.

Ally Bartling pitched four innings for the loss.

Megan Bursell had three hits and three RBIs for the Tigers while Rachel Bonnell struck out 12 for the win.

Rockford Lutheran wasted

little time scoring on the Hawks as they won the game 12-2 in six innings.

Matt Murray and Paul Rypkema each had two hits for the Hawks in the loss.

Murray took the loss, allowing five runs (four earned), six hits and four walks in four innings.

Before we close out the 2013/14 high school basketball season, here’s a look ahead to next year.

For the Oregon boys, things just got considerably harder.

Instead of six other good BNC teams to contend with, Dixon will be joining the party.

The Dukes come in to the BNC with the largest enrollment of the bunch at 800 students. They also won a 3A regional, had 23 wins, and return its starting line-up.

Oregon can’t be too overly excited to see another powerhouse on its BNC schedule.

There is already Rockford Lutheran, who nearly pulled off a 3A state title and has plenty of young talent coming through the program.

Winnebago is another program that also seems to have a pipeline to skilled players year after year.

Rock Falls was down this year, but past history says the Rockets won’t lay dormant for long. Mendota continues to improve and will be a formidable foe, likewise with Byron.

Where does that leave Oregon? It will be another tough go of it for the Hawks because of how difficult the BNC has become.

Losing nine senior girls will be a major blow for the Lady Hawks and they too have a brutal conference schedule.

Mendota, which won a 3A regional, brings back all those tall girls and will be the conference favorite, along with Lutheran. Byron will be very good, Stillman Valley improved and don’t forget about Dixon.

After compiling two of the best back-to-back seasons in school history, what can the Polo boys do for an encore?

How about making it three 20-win seasons in a row. With the sophomores and juniors coming back, that is a definite possibility.

And, there’s no reason to think that the Marcos can’t be in contention again for the conference title.

Though the girls from Polo struggled, 2015 shows promise with the number of juniors that saw major playing time.

The Forreston girls will be hurt big time by the loss of Rachel Walton and Maggie Curry, but that program seems to quietly hum along.

The real wild card next year will be the Forreston boys with Jonathan Schneiderman gone.

How will a new coach fit in and will the returning starters meld together as a team?

Sports Column March Madness fades for high school tourney

By Andy Colbert Reporter Just as I began this week’s column on the erosion of the state basketball tournament from factors other than poor sportsmanship, such as a shift in culture, a letter came to me from Joanne Baumann of Polo.

Joanne has been a high school basketball fan since the 1940s and shared memories of going to Champaign watch East Aurora play.

Since then, she has followed “March Madness” every year and has a couple of relatives involved in coaching statewide.

Like so many people these days, she is disappointed

with what the IHSA state tournament has become.

Interest in the Illinois high school basketball tournament peaked from the 1950s through the 1970s. It was a standing room only inside either old Huff Gym or Assembly Hall.

Attendance and media coverage remained somewhat steady during the rest of the century, but the grandiose levels previously attained began to slip away. This decline has become quite pronounced the past 15 years.

In the mid 1990s, average attendance for both the Class A and AA was 45,000. That works out to about 11,000 per session, respectable, but substantially lower than packed houses of 16,000 at Assembly Hall in the 1960s and 70s.

By 2010, the 1A/2A total attendance had fallen to 31,000 and the 3A/4A to a

27,000. The IHSA is reluctant to even give attendance figures anymore. And, those numbers are tickets sold, not bodies in the seats.

What has happened to an event that used to capture the imagination of an entire state, from small farm communities to mid-size blue collar towns like Decatur, Quincy, Galesburg, Centralia and the major metropolis of Chicago?

If there was ever a state built for a high school basketball tournament, it was Illinois.

Today’s young people have no idea how big of a deal this tournament used to be and how it affected people from every walk of life.

Long before NCAA basketball pools became all the rage, there were pools done for the IHSA tourney.

It’s been decades since I’ve seen one.

Teams from all parts of the state would travel with their

coach to watch the games and see the great players that they had read or heard about.

That’s not even done much anymore.

Purists put the blame on too many classes. One class may have been unfair to small schools, but it was hard to beat the excitement when a small school, such as Hebron or Cobden, made a run for a state title.

However, two classes turned out to be a positive.

Maybe, we need to go back to that instead of four classes.

The aforementioned NCAA tournament exploded in popularity as the IHSA version began to fade away.

Could it be that basketball fans prefer to stay home and watch college ball than pay $3.60 a gallon to drive to the IHSA tourney?

Besides competing with the NCAA, our culture is substantially different than

what it was 50 years ago. A high school state tournament no longer inspires awe like it did in the past.

The standard answer why contemporary society doesn’t get excited anymore about this event is social media and the like. Young people, especially, have different interests.

If I had to pick the biggest factor for its demise, it would be the lack of community. In it’s heyday, March Madness was about towns, cities and villages.

Before the era of recruiting and transfers, local basketball heroes grew up and played in the same town. As a fan of basketball in Illinois, though I may not be from your particular town, I might be rooting for you downstate for the sake of community.

That is disappearing as assembled all-star teams and transfers have become

Andy Colbert

commonplace.

In an astounding fact, the IHSA rules on around 2,000 transfer requests a year?

What does the future hold for the IHSA tourney?

It will continue in its present form, but that lofty status it once held is but a memory.

Ogle agencies to get funds to help with road repairs Government bodies in Ogle County will receive almost half a million dollars to repair roads and infrastructure damaged over the winter.

As the spring thaw begins, Governor Pat Quinn announced Monday that $100 million from the Illinois Jobs Now! construction program has been allocated to repair municipal and township infrastructure throughout the state.

Of that amount, $489,122 will be coming to Ogle County. Local townships will receive a total of $206,862; villages and cities will get a total of $130, 688, and the county will receive $151,572.

The funding will help communities throughout Illinois combat potholes and make other critical infrastructure repairs following the historic winter weather.

“The extreme and historic winter has left many roads in rough shape,” Quinn said. “This investment will help local communities repair the damage done by Mother Nature and improve the quality of life for residents and businesses.”

Quinn’s announcement includes also approximately $4.6 million for local governments in Boone, Carroll, J&J Charmer team members in the small group “All About Me” from left are Dezyrae DeKalb, Jo Daviess, Lee, Stephenson and Winnebago Counties.

Fehr Graham acquires land survey firm Lundgren Assoc.

Engineering and Environmental firm Fehr Graham announced its acquisition of civil engineering and land surveying firm Arnold Lundgren Associates (ALA), Rockford.

The acquisition is expected to further strengthen Fehr Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position in the Rockford market.

Fehr Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purchase of ALA adds nine additional staff to increase the employees to 24 in their newly-acquired office space in the renovated Prairie Street Brewhouse in the downtown area.

Founded in 1928, Arnold

Lundgren Associates has provided the Rockford Region with quality civil engineering and land surveying for more than 80 years.

As one of the oldest engineering firms in Illinois, ALA has completed more than 25,000 surveying and engineering projects in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just made perfect sense to us for two established Rockford firms to come together to create one choice that provides significant expertise and great service,â&#x20AC;? said Mick Gronewold, Fehr Graham board chairman.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Rockford office now has a combined experience of over 105 years of service to the Rockford area.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ability to join forces with Fehr Graham, who has a great reputation, was very attractive to us. In addition, their company philosophy is similar to ours which we feel ensures a smooth transition.â&#x20AC;? said Dan Kasten, Arnold Lundgren Associates Principal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The combination of our existing survey clients and Fehr Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resources make a perfect fit for providing expanded services to our current clients.â&#x20AC;?

NO INDIVIDUAL, unless licensed or holding a permit as a childcare facility, may cause to be published any advertisement soliciting a child care service.* A childcare facility that is licensed or operating under a permit issued by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services may publish advertisements of the services for which it is specifically licensed or issued a permit. Sauk Valley Media strongly urges any parent or guardian to verify the validity of the license of any facility before placing a child in it's care. *Family homes that care for no more than three (3) children under the age of twelve or which receive only children from a single household, for less than 24 hours per day, are exempt from licensure as day care homes.

The three children to whom this exemption applies includes the family's natural or adopted children and any other persons under the age of 12 whether related or unrelated to the operator of the day care home. (DCFS Rule, Part 377.3 (c))
