It’s official: Park & Recreation Board is advisory By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com The Park & Recreation Board is now officially has advisory status, thanks to action taken at Tuesday’s Mt. Morris Village Board meeting. The village board adopted a new ordinance regulating the Park & Recreation Board by a 4-0 vote and then re-appointed its four members. Voting on the measure were trustees Don Sorenson, Tim Harvey, Shane Pope, and Jeff Pennington. Jon Murray and Phil
Labash did not attend the meeting. Village president Dan Elsasser said the new ordinance clarifies the language to make the code coincide with how the Park & Recreation Board has been operating. “We’re not giving or taking away anything,” he said. Board members were reappointed to make sure that the procedure and their terms were consistent with the new ordinance. Board members are Jan Hough and Mark Lewis, who are serving four-year terms, and Ed Higley
and Ryan Fletcher, who have twoyear terms. Earlier in the meeting former Park & Recreation Board member Joyce Carr voiced her opposition to the new ordinance. “I think it would be a big mistake to make it an advisory board,” she said. Elsasser told it has been functioning in that capacity for some time. “Not entirely,” Carr replied. Village attorney Rob Lesage said that the old ordinance gave the Park & Recreation Board the
same authority as the village board to enter into contracts and hire and fire employees. “While that’s permissible [under state statutes] it’s not advisable,” he said. Lesage added that village trustees indicated they wanted the Park & Recreation Board to be advisory only, with final authority left with the village board. At a previous meeting, Carr questioned the village board’s decision June 23 to remove the members of the Park & Recreation Board.
At that meeting, in an effort to establish term limits, the village board removed Carr, Higley, Fletcher, and Lewis. They then appointed Hough, Higley, Fletcher, and Lewis. Carr told the village board July 14 that the Park & Recreation Board already had term limits that hadn’t been complied with. In another matter, the village board authorized Lesage to draw up an ordinance limiting parking on East Front Street near Sullivan’s Foods. Turn to A3
Mahoney predicts district will have $770,000 deficit by end of school year

Declining property values and stagnant state funding means the Oregon School District will likely be in red ink to the tune of almost $770,000 by the end of the 201516 school year. Superintendent Tom Mahoney told the school board Aug. 17 that he expects an overall deficit of $765,176 in the district’s four main funds next June 30 when the fiscal year ends. The largest shortfall — $816,508 — is projected in the Education Fund. Salaries and most expenses are paid from there. The Operations & Maintenance Fund shows a projected deficit of $83,476. The Transportation Fund and Working Cash Fund, however, show positive balances of $44,576 and $90,232 respectively. Facing a projected deficit of $1.1 million at the end of 201415 school year, the school board made $415,000 in staff cuts last
spring, but Mahoney said the effect was minimal. “Even though $415,000 was cut, revenues reduced by the same amount,” he said. The amount of property taxes the district receives has steadily declined for several years, he said. “The district’s EAV [equalized assessed value] continues to drop. It’s at 2007 levels,” Mahoney said Tuesday. “The loss of local revenue is driving the deficit, and the state has not provided adequate funding. We are receiving over $1,000,000 less than in General State Aid then the amount received in 2007. In districts that are thriving financial, their EAV is starting to climb again.” That may change for the better soon, however. Ogle County Supervisor of Assessments Jim Harrison said property values are due to begin an upward climb. “I think we could safely say we’ve hit bottom,” he said Tuesday.
For the first time in several years, Harrison said, the Illinois Department of Revenue has reported that assessments are finally reflecting sale prices. He said the real estate market in the county is slowly improving. Before the market tanked in 2008, he said, the county had 150 to 175 real estate transactions per month. After that, the number of monthly transactions dropped to around 50, and has now increased to about 100. Harrison said the EAV will take time to catch up to what’s happening with the real estate market because assessments are based on a three-year average of sales. The school district’s EAV was $179.8 million in 2007 and increased to a high of $208.7 million in 2011, and since then has steadily declined to $179 million projected for 2016. From 2007 to 2015, the major funding from the state has decreased from $4.7 million to $3.3 million.
O’Rourke and Eden get Oregon Chamber awards White lies get volunteers to awards dinner By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com Little white lies were required to make sure two Oregon men attended the annual Oregon Chamber of Commerce Dinner on Aug. 20. Tim O’Rourke and Stan Eden were both expecting to represent organizations they volunteer with. Little did they know they would be the stars of the show. “I would have never been here if they hadn’t faked me out,” said O’Rourke after being named the Citizen of the Year. He was attending the event to represent the Candlelight Walk committee, an event he has been part of for years. “A soft spoken and kind spirit, always professional and friendly, this individual keeps well hidden the countless ways that the seeds of his efforts have taken root and thrived
beyond measure,” said Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Debbie Dickson. “As an educator, his humor and creativity in the classroom captured the attention of our future – the youth of our town - opening minds to the possibility, potential and promise that a cultivated mind can achieve. He has lent a well rounded and attentive forethought to boards and committees, speaking after careful examination of the facts, and lending insightful contributions that best serve the organization. “A conduit of our community history, this docent loves sharing the experience of a ‘walk back in time’ with others,” she continued. “As we all know, there are those not particularly glamorous tasks, that none the less need handling, and this gentleman has certainly rolled up his sleeves, unloading trucks, and stocking and delivering essential supplies for and to those in need. In these days of busy, busy, busy, this shining star is an exemplary individual whom some of you may recognize as ‘Mr. Peppermint of Candlelight

Walk fame’.” Even after being named citizen of the year, O’Rourke was downplaying the honor. “I don’t deserve this. I just do what I like,” he said. “ All those years of Little League, I never got an award, I just wanted to be in the background.” He quickly steered the talk to students he had the opportunity to teach in the Oregon School District for many years as their fourth and fifth grade teacher. His love of baseball was something he always shared with his students. After school, Mr. O. as he was 2015 Volunteer of the Year Stan Eden is surrounded by his family after accepting the called by several students, honor.

Be careful around mailboxes By Paul Charboneau Mt. Morris Postmaster School’s back in session. That means more children will be walking and riding to and from school. It also means an increase in young pedestrians potentially darting across roadways or wandering in front of alleys and driveways. The U.S. Postal Service is asking moms, dads, and school officials to remind young children about taking extra precautions to avoid accidents around mailboxes and postal vehicles.
Our postal employees plan on being extra careful when driving at or near schools or playgrounds. But we need the support of every member from the local community to help keep our children safe. Students can take several precautions to avoid accidents,. First, never approach a postal vehicle when a letter carrier is delivering the mail. Second, wait for the mail to be delivered before retrieving it from the mailbox. Third, children should never take mail directly from a letter carrier that is
delivering mail from inside a vehicle. If children approach a vehicle, the letter carrier will get out and the children to move away. The carrier will deliver mail directly to the box. Children should also limit the use of cell phone and other portable devices as well as pay attention to local street signs and observe the rules of the road when riding a bicycle. Observing these tips will help keep children safe during the busy days of a new school year.

Huntley will step down as county clerk next March By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Longtime Ogle County Clerk Rebecca Huntley announced her retirement last week after almost three decades of serving the public. Huntley, 54, said Aug. 20 that the time feels right for her to step down. Her resignation will take effect after the primary election next March. “It seems like it’s time for me to do something else with my life after serving the citizens of Ogle County for 29 years,” she said. For the last 18 years of that time, Huntley has been the county clerk. She said serving the people in that capacity has been a pleasure. “I appreciate the opportunity to serve the
Rebecca Huntley
people of Ogle County as clerk and recorder for 18 years,” she said. “It’s been an awesome experience.” Huntley began her career in public service by serving on the county board for five years, and then was the first victim witness advocate for the Ogle County State’s Attorney’s office for six years.
She was first elected county clerk in November of 1998 and was re-elected four times to four-year terms, most recently in 2014. Prior to serving on the county board, Huntley was the legal advocate for HOPE, a domestic violence shelter in Rochelle. She said serving in government was the career she wanted and studied for. “I was a political science major at the U of I,” she said. “I’ve always wanted to serve in elected government.” One of things Huntley has enjoyed the most about being county clerk is elections. “I’ve really enjoyed Election Day,” she said. “Depending on the election, 8,000 to 25,000 people have been able to cast a vote and participate in our democracy. The next day I would look back and think
how I was able to be part of the big picture of electing a President or nominating a Governor.” She credited her staff and election judges with getting the work done to make elections happen. “I have a wonderful staff and dependable election judges. I couldn’t have done it without them,” she said. Huntley grew up in Rochelle, and she and her
husband Kim live in rural Chana. They have two grown sons. If all goes according to plan, her last day on the job will be March 18, 2016, three days after the primary election. “I wanted to leave office in a manor that my replacement can be elected,” she said. Stepping down after the election gives voters the opportunity to nominate a
candidate for the two years remaining in her term. Otherwise, her replacement would be appointed by the county board.
From A1 Elsasser said the large semis making deliveries to the grocery store cannot make the turn to get to the loading dock if vehicles are parked on the street in the area. At first, the board discussed prohibiting parking in the area altogether.
However, Harvey suggested prohibiting parking only during the time frame the deliveries are made, which is usually between 6 and 7 a.m. three days a week. Resident Becky Ruter, 311 E. Front St., complained that construction vehicles frequently block her
driveway and obstruct traffic. “It’s becoming a hazard,” she said. “I can’t even get into my driveway.” She said large trucks, unloading equipment to work on the new Sullivan’s store, sometimes park across her driveway for as long as 30 minutes at a time.
The county board will meet the day after the election, and Huntley said she hopes members will appoint the successful candidate to serve from March 18 until after the general election on Nov. 8, 2016.

went to Rehoboth Beach where they spent much of the time exploring the boardwalk. In the evening, the families had dinner at an oyster house where they celebrated Vicki’s birthday. Christine and Lance and their children headed back to Illinois and Don and Vicki stayed for another week to spend time with their grandchildren. At the end of the week, Mack and Shea had prepared a wonderful party with a Curious George theme for their twins who were turning two. Don and Vicki enjoyed spending the time with their children and their families in such a beautiful part of the country. Sandra Ford also spent time with her family as she traveled to Bloomington to be with her daughter, Crystal Patterson and her husband, Jack, their children, Hannah and Samuel, and their granddaughter, Lilliana. On Saturday evening, the family celebrated Samuel’s birthday. Sandra and her family attended Eastview Christian Church on Sunday morning,
where she was able to visit with some Pine Creek friends. Tim and Christy Maxey and their son, Dylan, and Sara and Bill Wills and their granddaughter, Olivia, all have ties to Pine Creek. Sandra was glad to catch up with her friends and spend a wonderful time with her daughter and her family. On Friday evening, I attended the Meet the Marcos night where the coaches introduced the fall sports teams. My nephew Hayden Bittinger, a freshman, will be playing golf for the Marcos and my son, Clint, will finish his high school career on the football team. Clint also celebrated a birthday this week, turning seventeen last Wednesday which was also the first day of school. On Saturday, Matt celebrated his birthday. He is now twenty years old. As Matt explains it, he is now old. I beg to differ. Tonight, the birthday celebration continued with dinner with my brother, Ben Bittinger, his wife, Jo, and their sons, Hayden, and
Garrett. We had a fun night hearing about everyone’s first week of school, their trip to Minnesota, and their upcoming plans. I love to celebrate. This is a great time of year as we celebrate the birthdays in our family, the beginning of school, and we celebrate with our church family at our yearly picnic. I believe that God in is our celebrations, especially when our brother or sister decides to accept Jesus as their Savior. The celebration is only the beginning of a special relationship that builds over
time. Sometimes, we walk away from God and all that He has to offer. The good news is we are forgiven and God wants us to come back to Him. And we will celebrate with God again. Now is the time to find the support of a church family to help build that relationship with God and His Son, Jesus. Our area churches have opened their doors. Our church family in Pine Creek welcomes you. I hope to see you next week as gather to offer worship and praise to our

Get your entry in now for AOP’s Flashback to the 1970’s parade It’s time to get your entry in for the annual Harvest Time Parade, held in conjunction with Oregon’s Autumn on Parade festival. This year’s parade is slated for Sunday, Oct. 4. The theme is “Flashback to the 1970’s”. “John Travolta and The Lounge Lizard will be parading their skills on Sunday,” said Marseyne Snow, chairman of the parade. “We also have several bands some from area high schools and junior highs and others professional musicians like the Royal Airs and Sinful Saints. Snow urged local residents to get their entries in now for this year’s event. “We’re looking forward to seeing how Ogle County residents use this year’s theme. Please get your
entries in early so we can finish the parade line-up. The deadline is in September, but the earlier you get your entry in the better.” Snow said the ever-popular South Shore Drill Team and the Jesse White Tumblers have been booked for the event. And South Shore will again perform a post parade show following the parade. “South Shore is always a such a crowd favorite that we have again decided to have them stay and do a show after the parade is over,” said Snow. “Our crowd seems to really like that so we’re doing the post parade show again on Jefferson Street in front of the Oregon library.” Other parade entries include stilt walkers, antique tractors, 4-H youth groups, church groups, and
commercial entries. Awards are given for best business entry, best use of festival theme, best float, antique vehicle, antique tractor, color guard, junior high band, senior high band, 4-H group, Scout/youth group, junior high drum major, senior high pompon, senior high flag corps, senior high drum major, queen, and best animal unit. The parade begins at 1 p.m. on Sunday and travels through downtown Oregon. Fees for commercial and individual political entries are $50 for each unit. For more information, contact Snow at mareseynesnow@comcast. net or call 815-341-5559. An entry form is available at www.autumnonparade. org.

Volunteers are needed in the Oregon and Byron areas to help remove waste from the Rock River during the Seventh Annual Rock River Sweep, slated for Saturday, Sept. 12. Theevent is an effort by many groups and communities along the Rock River from the Horicon Marsh in Wisconsin to the confluence with the Mississippi River in Rock Island, to clean up sections of the Rock River. “The Rock River is such a beautiful asset that makes Ogle County and the Oregon area unique. We need to do what we can to protect and preserve it. The Rock River Sweep is a perfect opportunity to bring people together to do just that,” said Mark Nehrkorn, Section Coordinator for the Oregon area. Boaters, river land owners, Scout groups and other service organizations are needed to help pick up trash, as well as sort the waste and recyclables. Student organizations can earn community service hours by helping out. For this year’s event, organizers are seeking more involvement from motorboat, canoe, and kayak owners because they have

better access to areas of the river which cannot be reached from the shoreline. The Sweep will be held on from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Check-in will begin at 7:30 a.m. at the intersection of N. Second Street and Franklin Street (Kiwanis Park) behind Conover Square in Oregon. The group will clean up a seven mile stretch of the Rock between Lowden State Park and Castle Rock State Park. With help from RockRiverSweep.org, the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department, and the Oregon Park District, the Oregon Area Rock River Sweep will supply a limited number of gloves, trash bags, bug spray, and T-shirts. Water and snacks will be available as well. Participants are encouraged to wear long sleeves, long pants, and old shoes, and to bring a reusable water bottle to the event which can be refilled to reduce waste. Last year, more than 40 volunteers participated in the Oregon area Sweep and collected around half a ton of waste which was sorted and recycled or disposed of properly. For more information, contact Steve Rypkema at 815-732-4020 or srypkema@
oglecounty.org. The Byron Area Sweep will be coordinated by Mike Challis and supported by the Byron Forest Preserve. Volunteers for this area should meet at 9 a.m. at the park on River Road across from the Byron Forest Preserve entrance. A limited number of canoes will be available for use, but people with their own boats are encouraged to participate. Those with boats will be cleaning up and downstream from there. Others will be cleaning up the shores by foot. Trash bags, snacks, and thin gloves will be provided. Contact Mike at gardenermike@gmail.com for more information.

Polo students participated in summer garden program Students at Centennial Elementary School in Polo participated in a gardening program throughout the summer to learn about growing their own food and the importance of eating healthy. The program, Growing Healthy Habits, began in the spring. During the summer months, students weeded, watered, harvested, and cooked with the fresh produce from the garden.
Instructors for the program were Mary Beth Christen, SNAP-Ed Community Worker, along with Ogle County Master Gardeners, and Youth Educator Lisa Hepker from University of Illinois Extension. Students were able to taste new vegetables and recipes. The vegetables have been sent home with the kids and taken to the Lifeline Food Pantry. “It has been a positive
experience for everyone; the kids have a better understanding of where their food comes from and an appreciation of the process and work that goes into producing healthy food,� Hepker said. Christen and Hepker will be back in the classroom in August at Centennial Elementary as they bring the Great Garden Detective Adventure to third and fourth graders.

Students turn out to celebrate
25th anniversary By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Dozens of former and present students and their parents streamed into the Oregon Park District’s Children’s Center Monday evening with hugs, laughter, and well wishes. Many came armed with flowers or sweet treats, and everyone came to honor Nancy Kerwin and to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the center. Kerwin, the Children’s Center’s first and only coordinator and teacher, greeted guests at the open house in her classroom at the Nash Recreation Center, Oregon. Second grader Dawson Berg, Oregon, was rewarded with a big hug after he and his sister Isabelle, 5, presented his former teacher with a big bouquet. Dawson said classes with Kerwin were “fun.” Haylie Rorbeck, an Oregon High School sophomore, remembered her years in Kerwin’s classes.
“She was a great teacher. I had a lot of fun here,” she said. Over the years, Kerwin has taught 662 youngsters from ages 3 to 5. “I love what I do,” she said. She became the program’s coordinator and teacher after getting a call from Oregon Park District employee Debbie Leffelman a quarter century ago. “I was an aide at Early Childhood, and she called me to see if I would come to work here,” Kerwin said. Park district board president Steve Pennock, a retired school administrator, said Kerwin is an asset to the park district and community. “What a wonderful program,” he said. “As a principal I could tell which kids had gone through Nancy’s program. She’s a treasure to the community.” A “hands of time” display featured the names of all the students who have walked through the doors of the Children’s Center. A photo montage and timeline showed the program

Masonic Lodge hosted Vehicle Classic Early morning rain dampened the start of the first annual Vehicle Classic hosted by the Oregon Masonic Lodge Sunday morning. Two brief, yet heavy downpours soaked attendees to the show held on Third
Street between Washington and Jefferson. After the first rains, attendees began wiping their cars down before the second wave of rain came in. People were huddled under umbrellas or sitting in their cars waiting for the second
downpour to pass. Once the rain passed the clouds broke and the sun came out. Twenty cars, three
motorcycles, and three tractors were on display before the rains hit and after the rain additional cars were spotted driving to the show.

Exelon receives Chamber’s 2015 Business of Year From A1 of the business of agriculture … past, present, and future. As she continued, Eden began to realize he was not only attending the dinner to represent Autumn on Parade. “His devotion to our area youth and their farming roots is important to him, and his impeccable, soothing guidance lends an ease to their education, and helps foster fast friends among the younger generation. He serves as a committee member of Autumn on Parade for at least 25 years now and for many years now has served as chairman of the Antique Tractor Show. His home has been host to numerous foreign exchange students, many of whom remain in contact with this United States grandfatherly figure,” Dickson said. The announcement of his selection was greeted with a standing ovation from the 160-member crowd. “I’m just one guy.
Honestly there are a lot of other people that should be eligible for that kind of award,” said Eden, after the presentation. “We don’t need to be the emcee of the group, we just want to be helping. We’re just trying to be part of it and something about volunteering has a magic to it. Some people just light up when you do something for them.” When Dickson presented him the award, there was another surprise in store for Eden as his wife, kids, and grandkids who had been hiding in the hallway, quickly joined him on the podium. “You are astonished when you see all of those kids,” he said. “Certainly, themselves they are involved quite a few things in the community and just kind of happy to see that they are. It is sure nice to have them all here.” Eden was fighting back tears of joy when talking about his family. “If there is any power, why
that’s where you can get it from, if from our youth,” he said. “Seeing some of the things that they are doing and of course things from many other adults in this community.” Eden is currently a volunteer with Autumn on Parade, the Oregon Rotary Club, and the Ogle County Fair among other volunteer efforts in the community. He served as an educator/ advisor in Ogle County with the University of Illinois Extension for many years. Business of the Year The final award of the night was naming the annual Business of the Year. This year the Oregon Chamber of Commerce presented the award to Exelon’s Byron Generating Station. “Truly a community minded organization, our recipient for 2015 Business of the Year, excels in this category,” said Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Debbie Dickson. “A community partner through outstanding commitment, their generosity of funding and volunteerism is immeasurable.” Dickson said recent volunteer efforts and donations by Exelon included employees trimming trees and spreading mulch during National Volunteer Week, at the Village of Progress. She said Exelon has also been annual sponsors of: scholarships to Oregon High School graduates; Oregon Elementary Science Fair; Ogle County Fair; Oregon Park District “Concerts in the Park”; Autumn
on Parade, including a prime sponsor of the 5K; Oregon Lions Car Show; Pegasus Special Riders; and Candlelight Walk Horse and Wagon Rides. “We are very excited to receive this award,” said Tom Chalmers, plant manager at the Byron Generating Station. “We pride ourselves in supporting the local community and we receive support from the community.” “In recent years, a $10,000 donation was made for the Coliseum refurbishment, $10,000 for the Rock River Sweep – an environmental event held annually to clean debris from the river, and $10,000 to the Oregon Trail
Days & Blackhawk statue refurbishment fund,” said Dickson. “They have been Blackhawk Level members of the Oregon Chamber for many years, contributing additional dollars when needed for events, functions, and services, and filled a seat on our board from 2011 - 2014. “This years’ shining star in business produces carbon-free power for 2.3 million people.

Chalmers said the company takes pride in hiring veterans for a variety of jobs at the station. “We hire quite a few veterans,” he said. “A lot of good training from the military.” Veterans have been hired for the security at the station as well as in operations and maintenance.

Oregon council agrees to extend liquor sales hours By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com Liquor sales hours will immediately be extended in Oregon, but not as long as one commissioner wanted. After numerous meetings about extending the hours of alcohol sales and consumption on Sundays, mayor Ken Williams, who is the city liquor commissioner, made a motion Tuesday night to extend the Sunday hours. “There are three changes to sum up,” he said. Sales would be allowed on Sunday until 1 a.m. if the Monday following is a federal holiday. The second change would allow packaged sales at 9
a.m. instead of the current time at noon. The third change would allow consumption of alcohol at bars at 11 a.m. instead of the current time at noon. “Okay, I understand what you are doing,” said commissioner Jim Barnes. “Let’s just leave Sunday like every other day of the week.” “That would make it simple,” said Williams. “The ministerial thought the hours have value.” “The people that want to go to church will go to church,” said Barnes. “It would be simple to have the same hours each day.” Williams made a motion to amend the original motion to take out the Sunday provision
in the city liquor ordinance. The vote on the amended motion was defeated 3-2. Commissioners Thomas Izer and Terry Schuster along with Williams denied the motion while Barnes and commissioner Kurt Wilson voted to approve it. The council then switched to the original motion which passed 3-2. Izer, Schuster and Williams approved the new liquor hours while Barnes and Wilson voted no. Sales of alcohol will now be allowed to start at 9 a.m. at any business in town that has packaged sales, like the SuperValu grocery store. Bars and restaurants will be allowed to start alcohol sales at 11 a.m. starting Sunday, Aug. 30. The Ogle County Solid Waste Department hosted an oil and antifreeze take back day
New owner for hardware store By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The right opportunity prompted a downtown Forreston store owner to sell his business last week. Forreston Hardware officially became Koeller Forreston Hardware on Aug. 21 when owner Monty Cotter sold the store on the corner of Ill. 72 and 26 to Gary and Jane Koeller. Cotter, 61, said he was planning to retire and sell the business in about three years but that all changed when the Koellers expressed interest in buying it a few months ago. “The opportunity arose to sell,” Cotter said. “I thought about it and decided now is the time. The opportunity might not be here in three years.” The new owners live in Forreston and have roots there, and that was important, he said.
“It’s a good thing for the community to keep the store locally owned and in town,” Cotter said. Gary, 54, agreed. “I didn’t want to see it leaving Forreston,” he said. “Jane and I are very excited to be doing this and to continue it. It will be a family-run business.” Jane is a lifelong Forreston resident, and Gary moved to town with his family in 1967. He grew up here and left for several years but moved back five years ago. The hardware store is a natural fit for Gary, who is a licensed plumber and has always done his own handyman projects. “I’m familiar with the tools and what’s needed for projects,” he said. Cotter and Gary were busy Monday morning taking care of customers and conferring on everything from inventory to computer programs. Cotter said he has no firm plans for the future, but for
the time being will work for the Koellers at the store to make the transition as smooth as possible. Gary said he no plans to make changes in the business at first. “In time we may want to increase inventory and add new products,” he said. “I do plan to do outreach to potential customers in communities without hardware stores.” Cotter bought the store almost 16 years ago from Dennis and Nancy Simler. “I came to work for Dennis, thinking I would buy the store from him and Nancy,” Cotter said. “That went through in 2000.” He said he will miss seeing all the friends he’s made on a nearly daily basis. “I’ve enjoyed the relationships I’ve made with businesses and the people coming in every day,” he said. “I’ve come to know a lot of people fairly well. I’ll miss kidding with them.”

The newest endeavor of Serenity Hospice and Home is starting to take off. Executive director Lynn Knodle said activity is beginning at the newly opened Serenity Shed at 131 N. Third St., Oregon. “We have a few people coming in,” she said. More than 150 people turned out Aug. 21 and 22 for the facility’s grand opening, a number Knodle found encouraging. “We were very pleased with the turnout,” she said. The Serenity Shed is a workshop where people can go to spend time working on re-purposing donated items or just visit with others while having a cup of coffee. The purpose is to help people handle the loss of a loved one by focusing on a project along with others in a similar situation. All supplies including power tools will be available and the center always welcomes donations of leftover paint or other
supplies. Volunteers will be on hand to lend their expertise on using the tools as well as ideas for getting started. Knodle said monthly workshops will begin in the near future to teach participants how to master various techniques to complete projects. Building a New Normal bereavement groups will begin after Labor Day. The center is open Monday
through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the first Monday of each month until 8 p.m., and the third Thursday of each month until 8 p.m. “Over time, I envision people coming in on their own to work,” Knodle said. The Serenity Shed has received the support of a grant offered by the A. Charles and Lillemor Foundation based in Oregon. Knodle said volunteers are also needed at the workshop.

Lady Hawks could be dark horse in conference By Andy Colbert Reporter Did you know that the Oregon volleyball program has won 10 regionals in the past 12 years? Did you know the team advanced to the finals of the sectional last year, dropping a close match to small-school power Dakota?

Key returners are outside hitter Sommer Rhea, libero Bre Cullen, and Mackenzie Skoumal and Whitney Long in the middle. Those pulled up from the sophomore level were Haylie Rorbeck, Allyse Ketter, and Taylor Egan. At the end of the year, freshman Gylian Finch came up. “We’ll be strong attackers and solid on defense,” Watson said. We’re obviously inexperienced at setter (losing Mahoney) and have Hailey White and Haylee Rorbeck trying out.” In keeping with depth at all four grades, freshmen Olivia
Mongan, Bailey Nelson, and Kaitlyn Reber are candidates to play on the varsity. “As a team, the one trait we have is character,” Watson said. “They’re calling themselves in net and holding each other accountable.” Watson is unsure on who the teams to beat in the conference are. After losing several games in the summer league with a mixed squad, Watson feels BNC opponents may not consider the Lady Hawks to up to last year’s standards. “I like it that way better,” Watson said.

Coming into Saturday, Oregon golfer Ali Scheidecker had never seen the back nine at Rock River Golf and Pool. Turns out she’s a big fan, especially of the greens. The junior rode her short game to an 84 at the Rocket Invitational, good for third place in the 15-team Class A division. “All my chips were doing what I wanted them to do, and my putting on the back nine was spot-on,” Scheidecker said. “My drives were down the middle, too, and the ones that weren’t, I got the ball back in the fairway. “Last year, we got rained out after only playing the front nine, so I went into the back nine blind. I’m pretty happy with the way I played it.” Scheidecker’s twin sister, Abi, just missed out on a top-5 finish, shooting a 90 to place sixth among 80 golfers. Erie junior Sera Bebon was the only other local in the top 10, placing 10th with a 95. Only 11 Class A golfers broke 100. Unlike Ali Scheidecker, Bebon felt her short game held back what could have been a much better round. “I didn’t putt real well, and my short game around these small greens wasn’t very good,” Bebon said. “I hit my utility club really well, but I didn’t feel like it was one of my best rounds. “But it’s the first big tournament of the year, and it can only get better from here.” Erie placed fourth as

a team with a 417, while Oregon was sixth with a 436. Rock Falls placed 10th (464), and Prophetstown took 12th (484). Liz Lego led the Rockets with a 107, while Hannah Kolling’s 117 was the low score for the Prophets. Geneseo won the A team title with a 382, 25 strokes better than runner-up Byron; it’s the Maple Leafs’ second title in 3 years. Senior Monica Lieving led the way with an 8-over par 80 to finally break through as medalist after coming close the last couple of years. “I was second here the last 2 years, so it feels good to finally win,” Lieving said. “I kept the ball in play by hitting my hybrid on every hole instead of my driver, and I made some significant putts, including an eagle on my last hole. I’m definitely
happy with how I played today, and I’m even happier that we won as a team again.” Princeton’s Arraia Hicks was runner-up with an 83, with Byron’s Kaley Mumma (87) and Rockridge’s Jillian Stone (89) rounding out the top five. The Class AA division was much more tightly contested, especially in the individual race. Chicago Payton-Jones’ Myah Jackson fired an evenpar 72 to edge Galesburg junior Taylor Nesselroad by three strokes. Jackson couldn’t pinpoint one key to her round, but was happy with how she worked around her miscues. “I guess at the end of the day, this course fits well with my strengths and weaknesses,” Jackson said. “I screwed up on a few drives and chips, but I hit some Turn to B2

Lady Hawks compete at Invite From B1 good shots, too, and I guess it worked out.” Galesburg cruised to the team title, firing a 334 to beat Payton-Jones by 15 shots. Nesselroad was one of four Silver Streaks in the top 10, as they were the only team to shoot six scores below 100. Kirsten Osborn finished third (80), Rylee Chockley placed eighth (88), and Jenna Heck took 10th (91).
“I’m so elated about winning the team title,” Nesselroad said. “I knew we had it in us, but when I saw that we had actually done it, I almost jumped on all my teammates to hug them. I just couldn’t be prouder of how we played today.” It was even sweeter for the Streaks due to the fact that they missed last year’s tournament because their teachers were on
strike. Nesselroad won the individual title as a freshman in 2013, firing an 80, and she didn’t feel like she played her best that day. “To be honest, I knew I had the ability to shoot even lower,” Nesselroad said, “and I wanted to come out here today and tear it up. My approach shots and short game were really good, and while I didn’t drive it very far today, I kept it in the fairway.”

New coaches will lead both Polo, Forreston teams Former Dakota coach at the held for Lady Cardinals By Andy Colbert Reporter The big news in NUIC volleyball circles this year comes from Forreston. Shannon Williams, a phenomenally successful coach at Dakota, is now the new head coach for the Lady Cardinals. Williams compiled a 15212 record the last four years at Dakota, including one state championship and two runner-up finishes. The year Dakota didn’t win a state trophy was the in 2014 when they were 37-1. “It’s always tough starting over, but given the talent that we have, I feel that we should be able to have success at Forreston,” Williams said. “I was very blessed with having very talented teams at Dakota, but it took a lot of hard work and dedication to get there. I expect a lot out of myself, as well as I do my athletes, which will be the same no matter where I’m coaching. “I’m hoping the work ethic that these girls have shown over the past couple of months will translate into success on the court for us this season,” she said. Williams will certainly bring her own philosophies, defenses and offense to the

Lady Cardinal program. But she thinks there is more than that. “I feel the key component for us as a team is believing in our ability,” she said. “The talent is there. We just need to be mentally tough and have confidence in ourselves every time we step onto the court.” Williams isn’t exactly a stranger to the Forreston girls, having had a summer with them. “We have quite a few girls that I’m looking at in stepping up for our team,” said Williams. “There is definitely no shortage of size, now we are just trying to put all of the pieces together and develop a more cohesive team.” In evaluating talent, Williams is still in the initial stage. “I see Zoe Siegmeier being a strong all around player for us,” Williams said. “Katie Person and Peyton Sorn also did a great job for us this summer and I see them stepping up for us offensively and defensively this season.” Forreston got a chance to see where they stood against fellow NUIC members this summer. “We did play quite a few of our conference teams in summer league this year,” Williams said. “I definitely feel that the conference is stronger than it was last year, which will be a good bet and that is Polo. Byron, Oregon and Stillman Valley have the brutal gauntlet that is the BNC west division. Forreston’s side of the conference is the toughest in all of 1A and Rochelle’s hopes lie with underclassmen. Still, those five programs have to be considered more likely than not to make the playoffs. Polo will go in the playoffs
challenge for us. Dakota obviously will be strong again and Durand is really playing solid volleyball. I look forward to seeing how we match up against some of these teams during the regular season. “I feel that our ball handling and size will help us to be able to be a strong offensive team, but also able to slow a lot of our opponents down at the net,” Williams said. At an enrollment of 273, Forreston will be one of the smaller schools in 2A and will need to work on its return game to have success in the post season and conference play. “Defense is a weakness of ours that we are working on every day,” Williams said. “They are learning a new defense and once they play it more, I feel with our athleticism, will be able to turn it into a strength.”

knowledge and excitement to the team and I look forward to coaching alongside her,” Anderson said. Anderson is also hopeful to make this season a community wide effort. “Community support goes along way in building a program,” Anderson said. “When the girls see their families and the people they know throughout the
community in the stands, it does a lot for team morale.” Besides a strong season class, juniors Justine Gorzny and McKenzie Dusing saw valuable varsity time last year. “We need to make sure the girls believe in playing for the same goal.

Anderson is excited for the challenge that awaits him “Because it is my first year, I am still getting to know the team dynamic,” Anderson said. “It is clear from summer league and practices that we have a talented group of girls eager to start the season. They were so excited that we started at midnight.” When asked about key players, Anderson mentioned seniors Paige Peterson, Sammi Bushman, Morgan Lawler, Emalie Guner and Haley Cisketti. “Our team has many strengths, and one of them is that we are returning a bunch of girls that have already played at the varsity level,” Anderson said. “They are all excited for their senior season and prepared to leave it all on the court. Leadership roles will be new to them, but I have confidence they will embrace their new roles and lead the team. Being a first year coach at a new school, it is always difficult to assess the conference and Anderson did not mention any specific NUIC teams to beat. “I think it is going to be a tough conference, but I am confident that our team is one of the reasons it will be tough,” Anderson said.

Dakota, Galena and Le-Win. Few in the state know much about Polo and if there is ever a year for Polo to shine, this is it. Polo has always been a solid football school, but have played second fiddle to all the NUIC state champions. The big question for the geographicallychallenged Marcos is whether or not they can compete with the powers from the other side of the league. Polo is in the hotbed of 1A football and that is the reality of the situation on Saturdays in November. The key player this year for Polo will not be the multitalented Brad Cavanaugh or the Grobe twins. Rather, it will be Juan Dominguez. With a wealth of skill kids, the Marcos will dazzle their opponents. However, somebody has to be man up front and that person is Dominguez. Don’t underestimate a Forreston team absolutely decimated by graduation. As I watched them practice the first week of the season, it was quite noticeable how well they execute. Sure, they’re at least a year away from being really good again, but Denny Diduch has a system in place that is a cut above most 1A programs. There is no reason the
Cardinals can’t go 6-3 and be a pain for someone in the playoffs. Watch out for a talented sophomore class, too. Oregon should be slightly improved over last year’s playoff team. As has been the case previously, the key is to win the toss-up games and the Hawks have been very good at that. If a game is close, their mental toughness, lack of mistakes and execution usually wins out. This year’s backfield might be the most talented since the 2008 semifinalists. With only 24 players, it is critical that the Hawks stay injury free. Getting 3-year line starter Matt Crandall back from a knee injury as soon as possible is essential. Byron looks to have an even better season than last year, when they advanced to the 3A semifinals. The Tigers have size up front, some good skilled players and a renewed spirit in the program. Look out for Stillman Valley, still smarting after a losing campaign. Stillman is one program I never bet against, because of how mentally and physically proficient they are in big games. Over and over again in the playoffs, I’ve seen them win games they shouldn’t have,

going back to the late 1990s. I’m excited to see how the Cardinals bounce back. Rochelle, another playoff regular, also fell off its perch last season. Coaching veterans like Mike Lalor at Stillman and Kevin Crandall at Rochelle do about all they can to have their kids ready to play. Sometimes, the available pool of athletes renders that plan undoable. Rochelle should be outstanding in a couple years, but 2015 has inklings of a winning year. The Hubs can’t afford to lose games they should win and that’s something that hurt them last year. So yes, 2015 could be a year that each one of these programs makes the playoffs.

Labor Day drunk driving crackdown begins in Illinois
No serious injuries in rollover Two teens escaped serious injury Monday afternoon in a one-vehicle rollover crash southeast of Oregon. According to a press release from the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department, a pickup truck driven by Zachery Strader, 18, Oregon, was traveling north on Watertown Road approximately six miles from Oregon when it went out of control and enter the west ditch, causing the vehicle to overturn. It came to rest on its top. The crash occurred at 4:18 p.m. Strader and his passenger Megan Winch, 19, Rochelle, were treated by Oregon ambulance personnel at the

scene and released. Strader was ticketed for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, driving
too fast for conditions, no insurance, and reckless driving. He is scheduled to appear
in court on Sept. 23. The Oregon Fire Department assisted at the scene.
Polo woman hurt in crash at rural roads A woman was injured Aug. 19 in a two-vehicle crash northeast of Polo. Cheryl Harbach, 69, Polo, suffered minor in injuries in the crash at the intersection of Fairmont and Evergreen Roads, and was transported by Polo ambulance to CGH, Sterling. According to a press release from the Ogle County Ogle County Sheriff’s Police and the Polo Fire Sheriff’s Department, HarDepartment and ambulance were on the scene Aug. 19 bach, driving SUV, was eastof an two-vheicle crash at the intersection of Evergreen bound on Fairmont Road and pulled away from the stop and Fairmont Roads northeast of Polo. sign at the intersection into

Traffic at the intersection is controlled by stop signs on Fairmont Road. Vehicles on Evergreen Road are not required to stop. The accident remains under investigation. The Polo Fire Department also assisted at the scene.
Drunk driving, especially around holidays such as Labor Day, is one of the deadliest crimes we face in Illinois and the nation as a whole. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and Illinois State Police (ISP) are committed to saving lives and kickoffed the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” enforcement campaign leading up to Labor Day. From today through Labor Day, state police will join more than 250 local police departments and county sheriff’s offices to step up enforcement with roadside safety checks and hundreds of additional hours of drunk and drugged driving patrols. In addition, motorists are being warned to buckle their seat belts no matter where they are sitting in a vehicle, especially during the deadly late-night hours. As with all of the state’s high-visibility holiday enforcement campaigns, an important aspect of the Labor Day crackdown is getting the truth out to the public. That truth is that drunk and drugged driving destroys lives every day. Campaigns like this one aim to end the devastation caused by motor vehicle crashes. “Progress in recent years is encouraging, but data clearly shows drunk and drugged driving remain a devastating
problem on Illinois roads,” said Jared Thornley, IDOT’s Director of Traffic Safety. Illinois has experienced improvements in the past decade with drunk and drugged driving fatalities, but impaired drivers still play a role in more than 300 highway deaths and hundreds more serious injuries every year. “Labor Day weekend remains one of the busiest travel periods of the year and we want all motorists to reach their destination safely,” said ISP Colonel Mike Zerbonia. “ISP Troopers and our law enforcement partners will saturate predesignated areas to strictly enforce DUI laws. Designate a driver before going out this holiday weekend to help ensure everyone makes it home safe,” he stressed. According to estimates from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 475 traffic crash fatalities involved an alcohol-impaired driver in 2004 in Illinois. That number dropped to a low of 278 in 2011. However, 322 drunk driving deaths occurred in Illinois in 2012 and 2013. The Labor Day crackdown is part of the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Click It or Ticket” programs in Illinois, funded with federal traffic safety dollars and administered by IDOT.
