School security will be increased due to grant

By Vinde Wells Editor More than $125,000 in state grant money is coming to Ogle County to upgrade and enhance school security.

It’s part of $25 million being distributed to 448 elementary and secondary school districts, community colleges, and state universities in the Illinois Emergency Management Agency’s (IEMA) School and Campus Safety Grant Program.

The grants will help fund more than 1,300 projects, including vestibules – secure waiting areas – being created in many local schools.

Other projects include reinforced doors, shatterresistant glass, locks, and other security measures, a news release said.

Among the local recipients, Oregon is getting Brenna Heitter, Mt. Morris, and her father Seth look over one of the books available $37,450, Polo $16,175, the May 2 at the Book Fair at Oregon Elementary School’s Fine Arts Night. Photo by Vinde Ogle County Educational Wells Cooperative $600, Eswood

Book Fair

Elementary $5,000, Rochelle Elementary $43,540, and Rochelle High School $22,445.

Oregon plans to create secure vestibules at each of its three schools.

Superintendent Tom Mahoney said the grant money will offset the cost of building improvements being done this summer.

The heightened security measures are part of a $7.5 million in Health & Life Safety projects approved by the school board last fall.

The majority of the Health & Life Safety work — an estimated $7.1 million — will be for the new heating and cooling system.

Included in the rest are more security cameras at various school entrances, repairs to the doors of the band room at Oregon High School, additional electrical outlets and upgrades to transformers at OHS and Oregon Elementary School,

removing and replacing existing phone cables, and adding air-conditioning in six server rooms.

Polo will use its grant money to upgrade the locks on classroom doors in all three buildings. “We’re going to install two-way Columbine locks on all of the interior doors,�

Superintendent Chris Rademacher said.

The district has already installed new exterior locks and cameras at the doors and implemented a buzz-in system for anyone entering the buildings.

If vestibules seems to be the new school safety buzzword, there’s a reason: measures that make school entrances as secure as possible were the focus of these grants.

That’s because studies have shown that keeping dangerous intruders out of the schools, or at least slowing Turn to A2

Ebert thinks dog owners need to be responsible

By Vinde Wells Editor After rescuing his wife from an attack by three dogs two weeks ago and likely saving her life, Larry Ebert has altered his views somewhat on tightening laws. “I’ve never been a huge proponent of leash laws, but unstable dogs shouldn’t be allowed to run free either,� he said Friday afternoon. “Dog owners need to be responsible.�

Ebert, 62, rural Ashton, was out for a morning bike ride April 21 and as he rode down Dugdale Road, heading home, he saw the neighbor’s three dogs attacking something in the ditch.

To his horror he soon realized what they had was his wife, Aneda, 63, who had been out jogging and was about a tenth of a mile from home. “When I got close enough to see it was her, I rode as fast as I could,� he said. “I saw them drag her at least 15 feet.�

He said he ran at the dogs, two pit bulls and a smaller brown dog, and yelled at them, scaring them off. “I don’t know what I would have done if they had decided to stay and fight,� Ebert said.

Larry called 911 on Aneda’s cell phone and assisted her as best he could as she lay bloodied and torn in the ditch. “His timing was wonderful,� Aneda said. “He came along at the right time.�

Aneda, who is 5’1�, suffered numerous bite

wounds to her arms, the back of her neck, and her leg.

She was able to protect her face, and the dogs landed only one bite on her cheek.

The wounds on her arms are deep, large tears, requiring stitches, and the ones on the back of her neck were stapled. Bruises from the bites are everywhere.

Her leg is polka-dotted with puncture wounds, where the dogs bit deeply into her muscle.

Deep scratches on her upper back are healing.

She said the dogs ran at her and began biting at her Turn to A2

In This Week’s Edition...

A new home will start taking shape soon in Oregon following a ceremonial ground breaking last week.

Habitat for Humanity of Ogle County is helping future homeowner Jennifer Larson and her son Vincenzo build a house at 210 S. Sixth Street. “We are here to dedicate our next build,� said Habitat for Humanity of Ogle County President Bob Van Stedum on May 3. “We would not be here if it were not for the generosity of the Mary Black family.�

The lot at the corner of Sixth and Monroe Streets was donated by the Black family.

An old house was torn down to make room for the Habitat home. “We are very excited,� said Larson. “It was touching to have the support.�

Larson said she expects her family and friends to support her throughout the build.

Oregon Mayor Tom Stone said

Larson’s family will enjoy living in Oregon. “I want to welcome you and I am sure you will be a wonderful addition to our community,� he said.

Pastor Brion Brooks offered a blessing for the project before Habitat board members, the buildings, and family did the ground breaking.

Wagner Construction and Plum Electric will offer their services during the construction.

This is the ninth home build in Ogle County.

The construction of the home is expected to be completed by September. In addition to the help of volunteers, the family will provide a minimum of 200 hours of “sweat equity.�

Habitat for Humanity empowers low-income families in need by partnering with them to build decent, affordable housing.

Habitat works to give families a hand up, not a hand out, by providing the family with a no-profit, nointerest mortgage loan.

Families are chosen based on their

Author will discuss book May 18 Mt. Morris Public Library will host author Abbie Reese on Sunday, May 18 at 2 p.m.

Reese will discuss her book “Dedicated to God: An Oral History of Cloistered Nuns.�

She will talk about the process, the negotiations and the exchanges, entailed in undertaking a long-term oral history and photography project with cloistered monastic nuns who observe monastic silence and take vows of enclosure.

In 2005, she began working

with cloistered contemplative nuns of the Poor Clare Colettine order, one of the strictest religious orders in existence.

Reese will also share some footage from a collaborative ethnographic film in progress that will form a portrait of a young woman – Heather/ Sister Amata, the newest member of the community.

Reese is an independent scholar and interdisciplinary artist who utilizes oral history and ethnographic

methodologies to explore individual and cultural identity.

She received an MFA in visual arts from the University of Chicago and was a fellow at the Columbia University Oral History Research Office Summer Institute.

She received a research scholarship from the Swiss Embassy for a three-month residence in Switzerland to work on her collaborative film project at the University of Bern’s Institute of Social

Anthropology.

Her multimedia exhibit, “Erased from the Landscape: The Hidden Lives of Cloistered Nuns,� has been shown in galleries and museums. She has presented her work at academic conferences internationally.

She has traveled in approximately 40 countries in Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Her retreat is a house that she renovated in northwest Illinois, built in 1888.

Following the talk, refreshments will be served.

The author will have copies of her book available for purchase and signing. Call the entrances. These are the types library for more information. of security enhancements Reservations are appreciated. experts say can buy valuable time for schools to implement emergency plans.�

Kathleen Schultz at Sauk Valley Media contributed to this story.

Grants will help area schools From A1 the schools, or at least slowing them down as much and as soon as possible, giving staff time to react, provides the best return on the money, said Patti Thompson, with Illinois Office of Communication and Information.

As IEMA Jonathon Monken said in the release, “Our top priority for funding was to help schools establish a baseline security capability through such measures as reinforced doors, shatterresistant glass and physical locks at primary public

elbows, quickly knocking her down and dragging her in a savage frenzy. “It hurt so bad. I just wanted to die,� she said. “I couldn’t get that growling out of my head for about a week.�

The dogs tore off the red T-shirt she was wearing over top of her tank top.

Aneda remained conscious throughout the ambulance ride to KSB Hospital, Dixon, and remembers making a stop in Lost Nation to pick up a paramedic who could start an IV. Once at KSB, she was x-rayed and then had surgery to clean the wounds and put drains in them.

She was released from the hospital April 25, and the staples came out a few days later.

Aneda’s daily work-out routine has stood her in good stead. “They said she has good muscle texture and good circulations, which are two good things to have going for you with something like this,�

Larry said. “They were afraid some of the tissue would die, but that hasn’t happened and won’t now.�

Aneda praised the doctors and staff at the hospital. “They worked their magic,� she said with a grin.

All three dogs were impounded by Ogle County

Animal Control officers shortly after the attack and later euthanized with the owner’s consent.

Both Larry and Aneda said the dogs had never behaved in threatening way in the past. “They’ve been in our yard when our grandchildren have been here,� she said.

Larry said he and Aneda bike and run past the house where the dogs were almost every day, weather permitting. “I can’t imagine why one day they decided to trip out like that,� he said. “We’ve lived out here almost 40 years,� Aneda said. “Who would think it wasn’t a safe place?�

The Eberts home is filled with flowers and cards from well-wishers.

Several were handmade by the children Aneda teaches at Tilton Elementary School, Rochelle.

A retired physical education teacher, she teaches one day a week. “Everyone has been just wonderful,� she said.

The Ashton community fund paid for landscapers to come out and spruce up their front lawn.

Though healing, Aneda is still weakened from the attack.

When she first got home, she had too little arm strength to even pour a cup of coffee. “It’s getting better,� she said. “I can’t wait to run again.�

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

Rock band Wayland returns to Mt. Morris for benefit concert

By Chris Johnson Reporter Following a successful gig last year to raise money for Wounded Warriors, the rock band Wayland will return to Mt. Morris June 28. “Everyone in Mt. Morris has been cool and the mayor has been good,� said band member Mitch Arnold.

The band, which calls Michigan home, has visited Mt. Morris numerous times and was in town April 22 for a performance at a local bar.

They always look forward to returning to Mt. Morris. “We have traveled all around the country and people have been talking about last year’s Wounded Warrior show,� said band member Phillip Vilenski. “Mt. Morris is an awesome town to perform in,� said band member Dean Pizzazz.

Band members are Tyler Coburn, along with Vilenski, Arnold, and Pizzazz.

They combine four-part vocal harmony with they Tyler Coburn, Phillip Vilenski, Mitch Arnold, and Dean Pizzazz make up the Michigan expert guitar playing to create band Wayland. Wayland will return to Mt. Morris June 28 to headline a Wounded their unique sound.

“Mt. Morris is an awesome town to perform in.� — Dean Pizzazz continues to work on their music to give fans something new at each performance. “Performing is fun,� said Coburn. “I have been inspired by all the great rock bands that have come before us.�

When Wayland performs they have fans from neighboring states traveling to their events.

In June, they expect people from Wisconsin, Indiana, and Iowa to come to Mt. Morris. “We have fans around the country and they do travel to see us,� said Vilenski. “It is amazing. We always look forward to performing for our fans.�

With the success of last year’s Wounded Warrior show, band members expect this year’s show will grow. “We expect it to be bigger this year,� said Vilenski.

The Wounded Warrior show will be held at the corner of Main and Wesley in

downtown Mt. Morris. “A stage will be set up in the intersection for the concert,� said Mt. Morris Village President Dan Elsasser. “The community supported the concert last year and this is our second annual event.�

Tickets to the concert will be $15 and money raised during the event will benefit the Wounded Warriors. “All ages are welcome to attend,� said Elsasser.

A Harley Davidson motorcycle will be raffled during the event to raise additional money.

Tickets are $10 each or six for $50 and are available by calling 815-734-6808.

The weekend event kicks off at Sharkey’s with a free concert on June 27 at 7 p.m.

Our special music was a very special guest, Duck Sweitzer, who played guitar and sang with Larry Riffle joining in on his harmonica.

Duck has been a guest in our church many times. It is always nice to visit with him and his wife, Kay. On Saturday morning the men’s breakfast group met for fellowship and a delicious meal. Ron Baker hosted the group with help from his wife, Sharon, for the meal preparation.

Those in attendance were John Engel, Jim Hopkins, Larry Riffle, Don Hay, Pastor Gregg Downs, Rick Merlak, and Clint Merlak. Everyone enjoyed getting on a jump on the beautiful day ahead.

This has been a busy week with track meets. On Tuesday, I attended the home meet in Forreston.

The boys were real troopers as it was raining and windy for most of the evening. Matt’s friend, Alyssa Vinnedge and I waited in the rain so that we could cheer on the boys.

While there, I got to visit with Jim Hopkins, son of

Jim and Nancy Hopkins.

Jim’s son, Connor, was also competing. Connor was running so fast, I almost didn’t recognize him.

On Thursday evening, the Polo Preschool held their fundraiser at Buffalo Wild Wings in Sterling. I went over to order dinner and while there chatted with a crew from Pine Creek.

Don and Vicki Hay and Kent and Judy Nettz had come to support the preschool as well.

Matt joined Clint and me for dinner at home.

Afterward, the three of us went to the cemetery for my mom. May Day is also her birthday. On the way home, we stopped for ice cream, one of mom’s favorite treats.

Friday evening brought another track meet, this time in Oregon. Clint wasn’t competing, so I went over a little later to watch Matt. Just as he was getting ready to run, it started raining again.

He did well in his heat, but the three heats that ran after him did a little better.

Saturday was filled with

books. Learn more about it on the library website.

Pet Pictures Needed The theme for the Summer Reading Program this year is Paws To Read, so during the month of July, we will display pet pictures from people here in the community.

Patrons are invited to bring pictures of current or past pets.

Pictures may be dropped off at the library from now until the end of June.

Be sure to leave contact information with the picture so they may all be returned at the end of July. We can’t wait to see your pets.

prom activities once again.

Matt and Alyssa Vinnedge attended Polo’s prom in the evening. In the afternoon, Clint and I met with the other parents of several students to take pictures at the White Pines State Park.

The kids were great sports as we snapped away at several locations in the park. Next, we went to the high school to see the Grand March.

Everyone looked beautiful.

It seems like only yesterday they were preschool and now they are nearly grown.

This afternoon, Clint went to over to Rick’s house, which gave me some time to work in the yard. I went out and pulled weeds in the front of the house.

There are several flowers that are blooming and some

Thank You from Mary Cheatwood This is National Teacher Appreciation Week. Have you stopped to think about how a teacher changed your life? My dad was a teacher, and later a principal.

I was raised in a home where education was of the utmost importance. My parents were great influences in my life, but there were teachers who had a huge impact along the way.

Who taught you to read? Was there a teacher who instilled a sense of curiosity in you?

Did one of your teachers fuel the passion which would later become your that will bloom eventually, but vines were covering everything.

That is how it is in our own lives. We have faith, love, hope, and all of the good qualities a Christian should have.

Sometimes, they get choked out by insecurities, fear, anger, and other feelings that get in the way of our relationship with Jesus.

Questions?

Call 815-734-4927 vocation? Was there a teacher who just helped you to feel better about who you are?

If you get a chance, thank that person. They made a difference in your life, and maybe your gratitude will make a difference in theirs.

We need our gardener, God, to help pull those weeds so that the beautiful blooms have a chance to thrive. What a full and fragrant garden we will be when we let God take care of us.

My hope continues to be that we can fill our churches each Sunday with those who wish to praise and worship our wonderful Father.

YMCA’s Healthy Kids DayŽ Research shows that without access to out-of-school physical and learning activities, kids fall behind academically and gain weight twice as fast during summer as during the school year. Healthy Kids DayŽ, a national YMCA initiative, kick-starts healthier summer behaviors. Activities include kayaking, archery, art projects, water safety, nutrition information, gardening for kids, an obstacle course, and many other games and demonstrations.

FHN Family Health Fair Visit with pediatricians and other healthcare providers, find tips and recipes for healthy summer eating, and explore fire safety – and a real fire truck! Activities include kite making and professional kite-flying demonstrations, a bike safety rodeo, car seat safety, take-home surgical caps and masks, MOM – the ultraviolet light cleaning robot, exploring an ambulance, and learning how to squash germs.

All activities are free and events will be held come rain or shine. For more information, visit www.fhn.org. Join us for one or both events for healthy snacks, games, and prizes, and spring into a healthy summer with the Family YMCA of Northwest Illinois and FHN!

Holt became interested in magic at a young age, and learned the famous illusion of cutting a woman in half, at the age of 10.

He has performed more than 1,000 comedy magic shows for corporations, celebrities, fairs, festival, schools, churches, and various organizations.

Holt entertains spectators

Pegasus Special Riders may not be able to accept new riders if officials cannot increase the number of volunteers who participate.

The organization, which serves Boone, Carroll, Lee, Ogle, Stephenson, Whiteside and Winnebago Counties, has 79 participants on a weekly basis.

The program provides restorative horseback riding for children and adults with special needs, an activity that is both therapeutic and fun

for everyone involved. “If Pegasus is to continue to meet the growing needs of the program and community, we need to increase our volunteer staff,� said Zina Leary, executive director. “With only two paid staff members, the organization depends on a network of volunteers to act as instructors, walkers, leaders and feeders. Everyone contributes their time to enhance the lives of the riders and the horses.

“Each horse and rider needs a minimum of one and a maximum of three volunteers for a one-hour session. There are three to six students per class, or four to twelve volunteers per session, depending on the needs of each rider,� Leary said. “The safety and well-being of our participants is of the utmost importance,� Leary continued. “To increase classes to meet demand and maintain our high standards, we need more volunteers.

“The time commitment is minimal, but the rewards are immeasurable. We all want to make a difference in this world, this is your chance.�

Pegasus Special Riders is a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit organization providing equine assisted therapy to physically, mentally and/ or emotionally challenged individuals.

Anyone interested in volunteering their time, should contact Leary at 815973-3177.

Reading Matters Close reading is a thorough read

By Mary Gardner Reading Specialist School districts across Illinois are working to implement the Common Core State Standards.

For the next several months we will look at some of the tasks and terms associated with these standards as we try to better understand the goals set out for our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and grandchildrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s literacy learning.

For this month we will look at the term close reading.

The term close reading is not found in the Common Core State Standards, but it is the kind of reading our children will need to be able to do in order to meet the reading standards.

Close reading refers to a thorough reading, and likely rereading more than once, in order to be able to understand key details and ideas from what we read.

As students are being asked to read a wide variety of kinds of texts, some of them will require close reading.

Think about the different kinds of reading you do in your everyday life and at work.

Reading and following written directions, reading tax forms or other legal documents, medical records and forms, or placing an order online might be some of the kinds of reading we all do at times.

These are very different kinds of reading than a magazine, book, website, or e-book we might read for enjoyment.

What might this look like for our children and

Thanks, Sharon Wallace Mt. Morris

Meridian staff, faculty thanked

by Caposey Dear Editor, To the Faculty and Staff of Meridian CUSD 223: this letter is simply to express gratitude for all that you do for the students of our district.

There is little to be said except thank you for being wonderful educators, exemplary role models for our students, and great partners with the board of education and administration as we continue to drive the district forward in spite of continuing challenging circumstances.

The mission of MCUSD 223 is to educate students to be self-directed learners, collaborative workers, complex thinkers, quality producers, and community contributors.

Our belief, as an administration and Board of Education, is that we are incredibly fortunate to have the teachers we do working with our students every day to ensure that as a district we are working toward this lofty ideal.

Our teachers often come early, stay late, and have been asked to do more with less â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and for that they deserve our admiration and thanks.

Community Members â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I encourage you this to week to think of a teacher that has impacted you or your family.

Nearly everyone has had their life impacted by a teacher â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it would be wonderful if you could carve some time out of your busy life to extend a thank you.

Parents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Our teachers work tirelessly to serve your children and to help prepare them for their tomorrow.

Please take a moment to thank

them. Thank them for the work that they do with your children and the work they do to make our community a better place.

Students â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The job of a teacher is to push you to become an ever greater you.

Sometimes this process leads to great relationships that will last a lifetime.

Other times, being pushed forward just feels like someone is making you do something that you do not appreciate.

Please take some time to reflect this week about the time and energy your

grandchildren in school?

First of all, it may be difficult to convince them that they need to read something more than once.

This is a big change from reading something through one time as quickly as possible in order to get an assignment completed.

We can help by being supportive and explaining that sometimes we also have to read things more than once in order to really understand them.

Additionally, not all texts or materials will require close reading. It depends on the

kind of text being read and If the text being read is a the purpose for reading it. paper copy students might be For example, close reading taught how to mark the text may often be required for the as they do a close read.

Lambrigtsen to play at Loyola OHS standout to sign letter of intent May 8

Hawks third at Classic Rutherford and Dhaese lead Oregon in points

By Andy Colbert Reporter After facing a bunch of 2A and 3A programs the last couple of weekends, the Oregon track team met up with teams more their size at the 38th Annual Art Carlson Hawk Classic.

With 23 teams present, including defending 1A state champ Sterling Newman, third-place ErieProphetstown, Winnebago and Rockford Christian from the 2A ranks and North Boone with meet MVP Chris Walker, it didn’t get much easier for the Hawks.

Oregon finished behind those five teams, placing sixth with 39 points. Winnebago held off E-P 95-77 for the team title.

“It’s definitely more competition than we’ll see at the sectional,” Oregon coach Jim Spratt said. “That’s why we bring so many teams in.

We’re not going to get any better if we don’t face tough competition.”

As they’ve done all season, it was seniors Ashton Rutherford and Pierce Dhaese leading the way for Oregon.

Rutherford placed in four events, including a karma win in his specialty, the pole vault.

In a gesture of good will, Rutherford loaned his vaulting pole to Jimmy Krenger of Woodstock North, as his opponent

needed a bigger pole to vault on. That almost gave Krenger the win, as he barely missed at his final attempt at 13’ on Rutherford’s pole.

After coming into the meet with a 13’-6” vault last week, a disappointed Rutherford settled for 12’-6”, but beat Krenger on fewer misses. It was Oregon’s lone first place and a repeat win Hawk win in the vault (Mark Schmidt 2013).

Rutherford’s other places came in the 110-high hurdles (fifth) and 300 intermediates (fourth). He also led off the 400 relay that took third with a time of 45.53 seconds.

“Ashton gave us a lot of points,” Spratt said. “He pressed a bit in the hurdles. It was a good lesson for him.”

Joining Rutherford on the relay were Dhaese, Josh Drew and converted thrower Juan Ocampo. Drew was back after fighting injuries most of the season. E-P edged

‘Bago 44.19 for first.

Dhaese was also a multiple placer, putting the Hawks in position to place third in the 1,600 relay with a strong second leg. Drew also ran the 1,600 relay, along with freshman Caleb Mennen and sophomore anchor Mitchell Nehrkorn. Their time was a season best 3:35, with ‘Bago taking first at 3:31 and RC next at 3:33. Winnebago took either first or second in every relay.

“I was happy how the two new guys ran with Pierce and Drew,” Spratt said.

In the 400 dash, Dhaese faced a loaded field with 100-dash champion Kurterry Singleton of the 3-person Chicago Holy Trinity track team and Tristan Fox of Lena-Winslow, who broke 2:00 in winning the 800 two events earlier.

Singleton won the race with a time of 50.61, followed

by Fox at 51.57 and Dhaese

at 53.07, just ahead of Cody Kluck of Pearl City (53.08).

In the high jump, Dhaese went out at 5’-10” after finishing second last year behind teammate Jake Adams.

“He had it cleared by a lot, but just nicked the bar,” Spratt said.

The three top high jump finishers, the Cavanaugh brothers of Polo and Walker of North Boone, will be Dhaese’s main challenge at the sectional. It may take a state-qualifying mark of 6’3” to advance.

“The competition in the 400 and high jump is good for Pierce. For someone like him, it spurs him on,” Spratt said.

Troy Pudlas also faced a difficult field in the discus. A personal best of 144’-9” only earned him fourth place.

Hawks post victories over Mendota, Lena-Winslow On May 3, Joey Rowe doubled twice and drove in three runs to lead the Hawks 10-6 past the visiting LenaWinslow Panthers.

Josh Cook, Paul Rypkema and Matt Murray also drove in two runs apiece for Oregon.

Rowe was the winning pitcher, with three innings of one-run relief.

In May 2, action, Mason Smith had three hits, including a double, and drove in three runs to pace the Hawks in a 10-9 slugfest in Mendota.

Rowe had three hits, including two doubles from his leadoff spot. Rowe came around to score twice. The Hawks’ offense racked up 17 hits.

Murray earned a win,

allowing seven earned runs in 5 1/3 innings.

Taylor Brubaker pitched the rest of the way for the save. Brubaker also drove in two runs.

Smith allowed one earned run over 5 2/3 innings on May 1 and also drove in a pair of runs to lead the Hawks to a 7-3 Big Northern West win at home against the Mendota Trojans.

Luke Ziegler also had two RBIs, and Tyler Blume finished with a single, a double, and an RBI. Murray also drove in a run, and Adam Bettner had three hits, scored twice, and stole two bases.

Brubaker pitched the final inning and a third for the save.

The last 10 days have been a bit of a whirlwind for Oregon High School senior Sam Lambrigtsen, but hopefully now she’s set for at least the next four years.

Lambrigtsen, Sauk Valley Media’s girls basketball player of the year the past two years, gave a verbal commitment on April 29 to attend Loyola of Chicago.

She will receive a full-ride scholarship to play basketball for the Ramblers.

Everything transpired in less than a week.

“All of this happening just before school got out, it’s just been amazing,” Lambrigtsen said. “It all happened for a reason, and I couldn’t be happier about it.”

The sequence of events started April 25, when Lambrigtsen was among about 100 players to participate in the Blue Star Showcase in Waukegan. She played in three games, and caught the eye of Loyola coach Sheryl Swoopes.

NCAA regulations forbid Swoopes from having contact with players at the showcase, so Swoopes contacted Lambrigtsen’s AAU coach, John Penney, who in turn contacted Lambrigtsen’s father, Boyd.

Sam then contacted Swoopes, and an official visit was set up for April 29.

While in Chicago, the Lambrigtsens toured the campus, met with academic advisors, trainers and team members, and ate lunch and dinner. The visit lasted about 10 hours. Lambrigtsen was taken with the campus, which is on the banks of Lake Michigan.

“They offered me a scholarship right before

dinner,” Lambrigtsen said, “and it didn’t take me long to accept. I had already made up my mind that if they were going to offer, I was going to take it.”

A national letter of intent from Loyola will be mailed to Lambrigtsen in the next few days. When she gets it, she’ll sign it and fax it back.

She’ll also have a ceremony at Oregon High School.

Loyola is a private Jesuit university of slightly more than 15,000 students in Chicago. The Ramblers play in the Missouri Valley Conference, and the women’s basketball team posted an 11-21 mark in 2013-14, including 6-11 in league play.

One of the major selling points for Lambrigtsen was the chance to play for Swoopes, a six-time WNBA all-star and threetime Olympic gold medalist.

She also led Texas Tech to a national championship in 1993.

“My parents are WNBA fans, so they knew all about coach Swoopes,” Lambrigtsen said. “I Googled her name to find out more about her, and oh my God, she was a great player. To be coached by her is just going to be incredible.”

Lambrigtsen averaged 22.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.6 steals and 2.2 assists this past season to lead Oregon to a 19-12 record and a regional championship. She scored 2,044 points in her high school career—the most ever at Oregon High School.

Oregon beats Mendota, falls to Forreston-Polo The Lady Hawks beat nine innings.

Mendota, but fell to Forreston-Polo in high school softball action last week.

On May 5, Oregon fell to Forreston-Polo 12-0 in five inning at Oregon Park West.

Forreston’s Aubrey Ingram’s grand slam highlighted a seven-run first inning and sparked the Cardinals to a road victory against the Hawks.

Abby Peterson tossed a one-hitter for Forreston-Polo (14-4), with eight strikeouts.

The only hit she allowed was a single to Sommer Rhea with two outs in the fifth inning.

On April 30 Oregon outscored Mendota 17-16 in

The Hawks scored seven runs in the bottom of the seventh to tie the score 15, added another run in the eighth to tie it again, then won it with a run in the bottom of the ninth.

Alli Henson drove in four runs for Oregon, Kasey Lapp had three RBIs, while Alana Leamanczyk, Bre Bicksler, Emily Perkins and Abby Baker added two each.

Perkins led a 21-hit attack with four.

Baker got the win with five innings of one-run relief.

Brecke Stullinget homered, doubled twice, singled and drove in five runs for Mendota.

Sports Column Catching up on odds and ends

By Andy Colbert Reporter Time to catch up on a few odds and ends.

First of all, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to a speedy recovery for Aneda Ebert of Ashton, who was viciously mauled by a pack of dogs while out jogging.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the pleasure of knowing Aneda through various high school sport events and also sharing conversation while exercising at the Nash Rec Center.

Aneda is a very caring individual that is full of a zest for life. Thankfully her husband Larry happened by and saved Aneda from losing her life.

If you ever want to stir up a debate, bring up the topic of dogs. Leave me out of that.

But, I can share my experience as someone who has logged thousands of miles running in most parts of the county.

I think rural dog owners do an excellent job of maintaining their dogs. Other than one incident on Pines Roads outside of Oregon a

few years ago, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had a dog threaten me in decades of running in the country.

Thank you to all the dog owners that do it right. **** As a staunch supporter of sportsmanship, this column was delighted to see the Oregon boys basketball team recently honored with a sportsmanship award.

Credit to coach Quinn Virgil and his players for playing with a degree of respect and dignity towards officials and their opponents.

What that also does is help the overall spirit of sportsmanship among the Hawk fan base.

Thanks for setting an example for all of us to follow, including the coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad Jerry Virgil, who I occasionally hear trying to â&#x20AC;&#x153;helpâ&#x20AC;? out an official.

Actually, Jerry is my go-toguy to sit and watch a game with. *** In other basketball news, for the second year in a row, an Oregon player stole the show at the Rising Stars AllStar game in Rockford which pits the best area kids against the NIC-10.

Last year, it was Caleb Mowry; this time it was Sam Lambrigtsen, who absolutely dominated the game and should have been named MVP. It was recently announced that Lambrigtsen was offered a fullâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;ride to Loyola, which came as a blessing as she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really being recruited all that heavily. I think schools may have shied away because they saw her as someone already at the top of her game.

The key in effective recruiting is to get talent that will blossom and grow well past current abilities. Can Lambrigtsen do this?

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball-savvy and a competitor. Having those components in place is critical in the mentally taxing world of D-I athletics.

Best wishes to you Sam and thanks for helping to turn me into a bigger fan of girls basketball than I had been. **** Marengo, Harvard and Burlington Central have decided to leave the Big Northern and join Woodstock and Woodstock North in a new conference. That will

leave the BNC with 13 teams, unless Richmond-Burton and Johnsburg also leave.

Those two schools would be so far away from the rest of the BNC, it makes little sense to stay when the new conference is in your own backyard. In fact, the original plan was for R-B, Johnsburg and Genoa-Kingston to join the others in an 8-team league.

However, R-B is not happy how this all played out. They enjoy being in the BNC and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think G-K has any intentions of leaving.

More will be revealed in the months to come. **** The premier 1A track meet of northern Illinois, the Art Carlson Hawk Classic was held for the first time ever at night. It was given an overwhelming approval by the various coaches.

No longer does Saturday prom get in the way, not just for Oregon, but also for many other schools. Additionally, athletic performance among teenagers seems to be better at night than earlier in the day.

The track itself is still getting rave reviews from

other coaches. The Aurora Christian coach said his kids were so unused to being on a surface this fast that their relay runners were running up on each other as they made baton handoffs.

Ironically, the football fields at both schools are the exact opposite. **** As he does every spring about this time, Duke Thomas stopped by to give me some of his home-grown asparagus. When he first started doing this, I thought perhaps it was done as a bribe so I would play up his sons Jordan and Garrett more in the paper.

Their last track season was five years ago and I still continue to get the best asparagus youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever taste.

So, Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motive was pure and I thank him for providing one of my culinary highlights of the year. **** From my kitchen window, I can see the scoreboard for the north ball diamond at Park West. One day last week, I found it odd that a game would still be going on at 7:30 at night, but upon further review, the score read 15-15 in the eighth or ninth inning.

In one of the strangest outcomes youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever see, the Oregon softball team fell behind 8-0 to Mendota after the first inning.

Andy Colbert

Still trailing in the last half of the seventh inning, the Lady Hawks rallied for seven runs to tie the game and send it into extra innings.

The good news is that they ended up winning 1615. Congratulations girls for hanging in there and not giving up. **** Speaking of softball, I had a chance to visit with Forreston coach Terry Pierce.

Leaving the administrative ranks of Division I softball at Texas El Paso for a small high school has not changed him one bit.

He is as upbeat as ever and is really enjoying working with the kids at Forreston.

After all, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the game itself that is important, not necessarily where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played at or at what level.

Pets should be part of your disaster plan While every household should have disaster supply kit stocked with food, water, flashlights, and batteries, homes with pets need to take additional steps when planning for disasters.

Whether an emergency forces people to seek shelter within the home or evacuate, advanced planning can ensure the safety of pets.

Throughout May, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and local emergency management agencies throughout the state will be working to increase awareness of pet preparedness.

“The recent deadly tornadoes across the south are a grim reminder that disasters can happen with little warning,” said Jonathan Monken, IEMA director.

“The better you’ve prepared in advance for the needs of everyone in your family, including your pets, the better chance you all have of weathering any disaster.”

Monken said pet owners should stock a pet preparedness kit with items such as: at least a threeday supply of food and water, extra supplies of pet medicines, copies of pet registration, vaccinations and other important documents, and a photo of pets in case they get separated in an emergency.

Other items to include in the kit are a pet first-aid kid including cotton bandage rolls, tape, antibiotic ointment, flea and tick prevention and isopropyl alcohol.

Monken also suggested that pet owners have a collar with ID tag, harness, or leash, and crate or other pet carrier in case of evacuation.

He said pet litter and box, newspapers, paper towels, plastic trash bags and household chlorine bleach will be helpful for pets’ sanitation needs.

He also recommended having toys, treats or other familiar items on hand to lessen a pet’s stress during the emergency.

As part of pet preparedness month, IEMA and the Illinois Broadcasters Association (IBA) are reintroducing a series of radio spots based on the classic “Animal Stories” vignettes from WLS radio in the 1970s.

The humorous spots feature the late Larry Lujack and Tommy Edwards reprising their roles al “Uncle Lar” and “Little Tommy” to highlight the importance of pet emergency preparednes.

The “Animal Stories” pet preparedness spots and additional emergency preparedness information are available on the Ready Illinois website at www.

State police to conduct Traffic Enforcement Patrols Captain Todd Rohlwing, Illinois State Police District 01 Commander, announced that officers will conduct special Traffic Enforcement Patrols (sTEP) in Whiteside and Ogle Counties between May 10 and 25.

District One troopers will concentrate on speeding, failure to use occupant restraints, and other driving offenses as part of their enforcement efforts.

The sTEP program involves a combination of

increased enforcement and public information designed to raise public awareness and compliance to all traffic laws.

Speeding is a contributing factor in 31 percent of all fatal crashes nationwide.

In Illinois, speed-related

crashes account for over 40 percent of all traffic fatalities.

Safety belt enforcement zones may also be used during the sTEP program.

Troopers will enforce the primary safety belt law to ensure drivers and all of their

passengers are buckled up.

Every hour someone dies in America simply because they are not wearing their safety belt.

Statistics show that half of all people killed in traffic crashes are not properly

buckled up. Lives can be saved by driving safely and simply buckling up.

This project is funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety.

HOROSCOPES 1th Week of May ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 You are in a position of power this week, Aries. But this doesn’t mean you can impose your will onto someone else. Don’t try to take over any situation.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, someone might dredge up uncomfortable feelings, but you need to muddle through with a smile on your face. This is the case at home and at work.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, separate your personal and professional lives, particulary with regard to potentially contentious issues. You may want to keep mum for a while.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, your feelings of restlessness this week can benefit from a creative outlet. Engage in an activity that keeps your hands and your mind busy, such as a craft or a home project.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you are unable to convey some feelings to others, but your body language will go a long way toward getting your message across. Remain conscious of your actions.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, minimize any negative energy this week. Strive to be a source of optimism when others are looking at the glass as half empty. It can work wonders.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 One of your goals this week is to propel yourself further without pushing others too hard, Capricorn.

You want to be successful but not at the expense of others.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, after several days of working entirely off of adrenaline, you finally have some time to kick back and relax. This will help you recharge your internal battery.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, focus on practical matters, such as your career goals, for the time being. Crucial decisions must be made and new relationships must be fostered.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Your motivation is very strong this week, Scorpio. You can accomplish much more than you ever expected in a short period of time.

Pick your projects wisely.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, trust your gut instincts on an issue that has been puzzling you this week. Your intuition might be your best asset.
