DQ owner says donation made to food pantry By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The owners of a local restaurant say they made a donation to a local food pantry several weeks ago to make up for inadvertently overcharging customers for sales tax earlier this year. Rocky Sofolo, co-owner of the Oregon Dairy Queen, said his business partner David Dillon dropped off items of food at Lifeline Food Pantry in Oregon back in July. “My partner and his wife dropped off the donation the day after he spoke to the city council,” Sofolo said Tuesday.

president Lifeline, said Tuesday that pantry volunteers told her the owners brought in four bags of canned goods. Dillon told the Oregon City Council July 14 that a donation had already been made to the food pantry to make up for the restaurant overcharging customers for sales tax. “What we did was made a donation to the food pantry in town,” said Dillon at the meeting. Sofolo said Tuesday that he believes the restaurant overcollected a total of $13 to $15 in sales tax. He said the overcollection was due to a computer glitch and went on for only a short Turn to A3
45th Autumn on Parade rings in another success By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com From the Food Court and Farmers Market to the Harvest Time Parade, festival organizers deemed this weekend’s Autumn on Parade a rousing success. “I think it was a success. It went very well,” said AOP President Marseyne Snow. “Even though it was cloudy part of the time, people seemed to enjoy themselves.” Snow said Sunday’s parade had 124 units, many of which were based on the festival theme of Flashback to the 1970s. “We had 130 signed up, but we did have a few noshows,” Snow said. The downtown streets were packed elbow-toelbow with people watching the parade and cheering enthusiastically for their favorite entries. The 5k run Sunday morning drew 531 participants - 100 more than last year. Back downtown, vendors appeared to leave the festival happy. Food Court Chairman Ray Farrey said most booths there sold out before the festival was over. “Cliff Jones made 500 dozen cider donuts Saturday, and had to turn people away when he ran out around 4 in the afternoon,” Farrey said. Jones provides donuts for the Oregon Masonic Lodge’s food booth. The Ogle County Beef Producers sold 800 sandwiches on Saturday, and were out of food by 2 p.m. on Sunday, Farrey said. He listed off several more vendors who found themselves in the same
situation. Farrey said he believes the cool weather, in the upper 50s, played a big part. “It was an ideal weekend for the Food Court,” he said. “It was cooler so people were eating rather than just getting soft drinks. The crowd was bigger, too, this year.” Farmers Market Chairman Dave Boehle said the 189 booths at this year’s festival may be the most ever. “They all seemed to be really pleased with their sales,” he said. “We heard nothing but positives.” One vendor took a chance and drove 340 miles to display her wares. Liz Hanson, Mercer, Wisconsin, brought a variety of homemade metal spinners, whirligigs, and small garden signs. She makes them by hand with her husband. “I do all the welding on these spinners,” she said. “They ride on stainless steal bearings and will spin easy.” When they first go in a garden the silver from the stainless steel is bright and shiny and shows some darker spots from the welding. In less then a year the creations come alive. “They will naturally rust and patina,” said Hanson. Throughout the festival, shoppers were spotted carrying the spinners through the farmer’s market. The festival also provided a time to see the community where Hanson’s mother was raised. “I decided to give this festival a try,” she said. Another vendor was selling small barn quilts and had a shorter drive to attend the farmer’s market, just 24 miles. Lori Blask owns Baileyville Barn Quilts and

had a variety of small ones for sale this year. The boards ranged in size from small 12 inch squares to 3 foot square quilts. “Barn quilts can hang on the house, barn, shed, or garage,” said Blask. “They are popular in Wisconsin where you see the larger barn quilts.” In keeping with the festival theme, Elvis fans got a chance Sunday to sway and sing along with “The King.” Elvis impersonator Chris Corcoran, Mt.

His 1939 Graham Coupe is one of 12 registered in the county. “We think there are only 20 of these cars,” said Dunham. “I belong to Graham International and there are 12 registered cars. It is a very rare car.” Dunham thinks that there may be other examples of the

This coupe received a full two-year restoration and was modified to be more of a hotrod style while retaining most of the stylings and feel of the original car. The work was completed shortly before Dunham purchased the car four years ago. Chris Johnson contributed to this story.

Donations needed for Thanksgiving meals Mt. Morris Loaves and Fish Food Pantry is seeking donations to provide Thanksgiving meal boxes to local families in need. The meal boxes, made possible in partnership with Northern Illinois Food Bank, contain a turkey, potatoes, stuffing, gravy, canned fruit and vegetables, coffee and dessert – enough to feed a family of eight. A $16 donation will allow Mt. Morris Loaves and Fish
Food Pantry to provide a local family the opportunity to enjoy a traditional holiday meal with their family this holiday season. To sponsor one, two or more families, send a gift to Loaves and Fish Food Pantry, Att: Nelson Miller, Treas., P.O. Box 202, Mt. Morris, IL 61054. The public’s help is needed for this project. The money available to purchase food for the pantry is lower
than normal, and the regular budget is not enough to bring this holiday meal to pantry families. The pantry hopes to raise $2,400 by Oct. 16 above regular donations in order to purchase 150 Thanksgiving boxes. Any donations received above the amount needed to purchase Thanksgiving meal boxes will be used to purchase food for the pantry. Mt. Morris Loaves and

time. “I’m guessing a few days. It wasn’t very long,� he said. “We got it fixed as soon as we knew about it.� Sofolo said anyone who has a receipt showing the overcollection will be reimbursed at the Oregon Dairy Queen. Williams said Monday that he has not spoken to Dillon or Sofolo about the matter since the July 14 meeting. Dillon did not return numerous phone calls. The problem came to light when Oregon resident Doug Raney contacted Police Chief Darin DeHaan after he and his wife Darlene were overcharged 10 cents on a $10 purchase at Dairy Queen on May 1. Their receipt showed that 83 cents was charged for tax instead of 73 cents. Commissioner Jim Barnes brought the topic up June 9 at the Oregon City Council meeting. He said the business was charging 8.25 percent for sales tax instead of the 7.25 percent that should have been collected. DeHaan said in June that the overcharge was an inadvertent error by the company, and once he contacted regional manager Jane Sofolo it was immediately changed. At the time, neither DeHaan nor Jane Sofolo could say for sure how long the overcharging had been going on. Barnes came up with the solution of Dairy Queen making a donation to the food pantry. Businesses pay sales
tax revenue to the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR), and IDOR distributes a portion of that money back to counties and municipalities on a monthly basis. IDOR spokesman Terry Horstman said Sept. 30 in an email that IDOR considers the situation described as an “unknowing overcollection.� “The sales tax law (Section 13) provides that a ‘knowing’ overcollection is a Class 4 felony,� he wrote in his email. “However, if the overcollection is inadvertent, the retailer will not be subject to these penalties as long as they remit the tax they collect (actually, overcollect) to the department.� The case appears to be an overcollection of local taxes, Horstman wrote. For local taxes, he wrote, the tax is imposed only on the retailer, but the law allows the retailer to collect the tax from the customer. “Customers have the right to request a refund of the overcollected reimbursement,� Horstman wrote. When a retailer overcollects tax and sends it to IDOR, he or she is authorized to file a claim for credit with the department on the amount they overcollected. A condition of doing so is to refund the overcollected tax to the customer. The amount overcollected could possibly be determined during an audit. “Generally, an audit would be the only possible way to determine how much tax DQ [Dairy Queen] overcollected,� Horstman wrote.

Rural home destroyed by fire Sept. 30 By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The cause was not yet determined late last week of a fire that destroyed a home southeast of German Valley. German Valley Fire Chief Eric Bruning said Saturday that fire officials are still
investigating what caused the fire that destroyed the home of Robert Guthrie at 9440 W. Brush Rd. on Sept. 30. He said the blaze apparently started in materials in the front room, but would not specify what the materials were. The fire was called in by a
passerby who saw the flames around 3 p.m., Bruning said. No one was at home at the time. A whole section of the story and a half house and its attached garage were on fire when firefighters arrived. “It was pretty well engulfed,” Bruning said. Fire departments assisting
at the scene included Mt. Morris, Forreston, Leaf River, Byron, Shannon, Pecatonica, Winn-Bur-Sew, Rock City, Davis, Dakota, and Freeport Rural. The German Valley and Freeport Rural ambulances, and Ogle County Sheriff’s Department also assisted at the scene.
Fall Fest set for Oct. 21 at DUMC The Fall Fest dinner at Disciples United Methodist Church, a long standing tradition for Mt. Morris residents, will continue on Wednesday, Oct. 21. The tradition have carried over from the old church on the corner of Front and

trimmings of cranberry salad, rolls, relishes, and the diner’s choice of homemade pie. Seconds are encouraged. The event which will include the “cookies by the pound” sale and silent auction. Both silent auction and
cookie sale take place from 3 to 7 p.m. The dinner will be served from 4:30 to 7 p.m. with adults $8, children 6-12 $4, and 5 and under eat free. Carry out dinners are also available for an additional 50 cents.

Pine Creek News By Karen Merlak There is a definite chill in the air. The beauty of fall is starting to become our reality as the leaves are showing their first signs of change. It is truly a blessing to experience God’s creation in every season. For this and so much more, we give thanks to our heavenly Father. This morning in church, we were greeted by June Schafer. We enjoyed having Jean Cunningham back at the organ. Jean prepared a beautiful prelude this morning. We are grateful that she readily shares her many talents. After church, I joined the lunch group at the Pinecricker. Gathering around the table
were Jim and Nancy Hopkins, Don and Vicki Hay, Lyle and Sheryl Hopkins, Ellen Hopkins, and Sandra Ford. Fellowship helps to bring our church family even closer. Our good Pine Creek friends, Bill and Betty Hare, were also enjoying a Sunday dinner at the Pinecricker and stopped over to say hello. On Saturday morning, the men’s breakfast group gathered for a delicious meal and fellowship. With Don Hay as host, he served the regular group including, Ron Baker, Dave Burright, Jim Hopkins, John Engel, Larry Riffle, and Pastor Gregg Downs. On Tuesday evening, Carol Suits and I traveled to Morrison for a P.E.O. Membership Conference. Not only did we enjoy an informative meeting, we had a nice visit on the way there and back home again. This past Friday night was a very cold night for football, so we bundled up before ending out to Milledgeville

to watch our Mighty Marcos battle the neighboring Missiles. The Marcos were victorious on the road for week six of the season. My brother, Ben Bittinger, his wife, Jo, and their sons, Hayden and Garrett, were also at the game. Hayden has been out on the road learning to drive. My nephews have grown up just as fast as my own children. I spent most of my Saturday morning exploring the Autumn on Parade Festival. I really enjoyed seeing so many family members and friends. My aunt Bobbi Deen had been working hard to fill her booth with everyone’s favorite goodies. Her children and grandchildren are a great help over the weekend. Clint and I treated ourselves to our favorite, Aunt Bobbi’s frosted sugar cookies. Clint and I spent Saturday afternoon shopping for new
clothes for the homecoming dance next week. We had a few discussions before we left about the look he was going for. As we scoured the shelves and several clothing racks, Clint soon lost interest in finding the perfect shirt and was willing to take the next one we found. He hung in there a little longer and we found the shirt that fit just right and had the details that he wanted. Sometimes we just have to put forth a little more effort to find what we are looking for. Living for Jesus is always worth the extra effort. Trying to live as a Christian takes effort. Sometimes it is tiring, trying to always choose the right. However, in the end, we believe that it will be worth it. When we are able to fully see God’s glory, we will understand why it was so important to take the extra time. I know I can improve my

Ogle County Master Gardener receives recognition University of Illinois Extension Ogle County Master Gardener Kathy Michel received state recognition for Outstanding Master Gardener award at the 2015 Illinois Master Gardener Award ceremony held on Sept. 18. The Outstanding Master Gardener Award was established to honor the best of Illinois Master Gardeners. Each person receiving this award is an exceptional example to Master Gardeners locally and throughout the state. Since becoming a University of Illinois Extension Master Gardener in 2007, Michel has been a dedicated, reliable, and tireless volunteer for the Ogle County Master Gardener program. She has exhibited enthusiasm for all activities related to the Master Gardener mission of “Helping Others Learn to Grow.” Michel is involved in many of the Ogle County Master Gardener programs, including speaker’s bureau, plant sale
and Extension’s one day garden symposium – Ready, Set, Grow. She spends many hours preparing for her presentations and helps others with their presentations as well. Michel especially shines as a mentor to new trainees. Deb Bryant shares, “As a Master Gardener intern, I have found Kathy to be patient, kind, and helpful to me every step of the way. She takes the time to teach me the ins and outs of presentations. Each time I am with Kathy, I am impressed with her vast horticulture knowledge, coupled with her genuine kindness and compassion for all.” Michel’s involvement exceeds all else as the driving force behind a Horticulture Therapy program which began in July 2014. Her compassion and desire to share her horticulture knowledge is what led her to propose a yearround therapeutic horticulture program in the area. Michel took the initiative to research other therapeutic
horticulture programs and meet with directors of local facilities to host these programs; beginning in July 2014, the Ogle County Master Gardeners have been visiting with Pinecrest Community, Oregon Living and Rehabilitation and the Village of Progress once each month to share a horticulture lesson and do an activity, ranging from planting gardens to floral design. Michel is a truly dedicated volunteer who is not only an excellent mentor to new Master Gardener trainees, but is also a wonderful role model for her Master Gardener peers and community members. Michel is a life-long learner and encourages others to do the same. She is constantly expanding her knowledge through various trainings, such as the ‘I Think Green’ trainings, and is eager to share her knowledge and passion for gardening with others. University of Illinois Extension congratulates Kathy Michel and appreciates the
thousands of hours Master Gardener volunteers contribute to our community. The service the Master Gardeners share positively impacts communities and individuals throughout Illinois. Anyone who has been helped by Master Gardeners and would like to serve their community through this unique horticultural education program can now give back to others. In 2016, Master Gardener training will be held in DeKalb County and Whiteside County. DeKalb County training will be held at the DeKalb County Farm Bureau building in Sycamore every Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. from Feb. 17 through May 4. Whiteside County training will be held at the Whiteside County Extension office in Sterling every Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon starting from Jan. 9 through April 16.

love to sing and able to read music. In 2014, more than 50 singers from Ogle, Lee and Winnebago counties comprised the vocal chorus. This year’s cantata is entitled, Bethlehem’s Child. Using a blend of original and familiar music, composers Lloyd Larson and Victor Johnson collaborated on this telling of the Christmas story from the vantage point that God’s ways are not typically our ways. Featuring all of the hallmarks of popular cantatas, from beloved carols and a scripturally-based narration to opportunities for audience participation, this
work also features an upbeat spiritual movement, and male and female solos. Admission to the December concert is free, although monetary donations will be accepted to support local food pantries Loaves and Fish Food Pantry, Mount Morris, and Lifeline, Oregon. The free community concert is sponsored by the Disciples United Methodist Church, 815-734-4853, Mt. Morris Church of the Brethren, 815-734-4573, and Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, Mt. Morris, 815734-6354. For more information contact the producer, Nelson Miller, at nelson1013@ comcast.net.

4-H Week observed Oct. 4-10 Ogle County youth are joining the more than six million 4-H members across the nation in celebration of National 4-H Week Oct. 4-10. Last year, 353 young people in Ogle County were involved in 4-H community clubs where, assisted by volunteer adult leaders, they learned about careers, leadership and citizenship. Another 1,282 youth were involved in 4-H through school, after school and community-partner organizations. ”4-H’ers learn by doing philosophy encourages youth to experiment, innovate, and think independently, said Jodi Baumgartner, University of Illinois Extension Program Coordinator for Ogle County. “4-H grows confident kids who tackle issues that matter most in their communities.” 4-H members determine their own path in 4-H.
“Youth have a strong voice in 4-H clubs and are actively determining the programs and activities in their clubs,” said Dr. Lisa Diaz, assistant dean and director of the Illinois 4-H program. “4-H gives youth skills to be independent masters of their future by giving them real-life experiences in teaching others, providing youth voice on planning committees, advocating for positive change in their communities and gaining much-needed skills for the workplace.” Illinois 4-H members prepare for their future by studying careers related to their 4-H project. “They choose from more than 100 projects to study,” said Baumgartner. The topics range from rocketry, GPS, computer game design, and public speaking to photography, animal science,
nutrition, and more. “The project work builds a youth’s leadership, communication, organization, and decisionmaking skills,” said Baumgartner. “4-H also instills a generous spirit in youth,” Diaz said. 4-H members are encouraged to help others in their communities through the hundreds of service projects conducted by Illinois 4-H clubs. One out of every seven adults in the U.S. is a former 4-H member. For more information or to get involved in 4-H, go to the Ogle County 4-H web site at http://web.extension. illinois.edu/bdo/, or call the Extension office at 815-7322191. Anyone needing reasonable accommodations to participate in 4-H, should call the Extension office.
Be smart with yard waste By Reita Nicholson Administrative Assistant Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department Autumn has arrived here in Northern Illinois and that brings pumpkins, colorful leaves, and cooler temperatures. It also means that people will be dealing with falling leaves and cleaning up of their properties prior to winter weather. Dealing with landscape waste is always an issue around the county and the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department (OCSWMD) has some reminders for residents about this issue. The open burning of landscape waste is allowed in Illinois only under certain conditions. The landscape waste must be generated on that property and the smoke must not be allowed to interfere with roadways and other transportation routes, or impinge on others’ quality of life. Your city or village may have more restrictive regulations about open
burning. Open burning of landscape waste is prohibited in rural areas within 1,000 feet of a municipality in which open burning of landscape waste is prohibited. Check with your local village hall, the local fire department, or OCSWMD if you are unsure of burning regulations where you live. If you are burning landscape waste, burn only dry material to reduce smoke, be mindful of wind direction, and keep a water source nearby to prevent fire spread. Also be considerate of your neighbors and refrain from burning if the smoke will interfere with their activities. It is illegal to burn garbage or construction and demolition debris. The OCSWMD encourages other ways to deal with landscape waste besides burning. Grass clippings and leaves may be left on the lawn to be mulched by your mower and help your grass for next year. Leaves can be mulched and piled around plants and
flowers to retain moisture and insulate them from cold winter temperatures. Landscape waste can also be composted in a compost bin along with certain food scraps. For more information about starting a home compost pile call the University of Illinois Ogle County Extension office at 815-732-2191 or the OCSWMD has information about composting as well. Many towns in Ogle County include the collection of landscape waste in their waste collection contracts. Residents should take advantage of these services which haul the material to commercial composting sites. If you have large quantities of landscape waste, check with the OCSWMD for a list of compost sites in the area. Contact your city government or waste hauler for rules on landscape waste collection. Call the OCSWMD at 815-732-4020 or visit www. oglecounty.org if you have questions about open burning or for other landscape waste disposal options.

Trinity Lutheran Church crafts quilts and builds supply kits Trinity Lutheran Church, Mt Morris, in partnership with Lutheran World Relief (LWR), has responded again to the recurring global
need of families in crisis by crafting quilts and building school kits. In recent years, Syrian families have been caught in
a violent civil war. Ninety school kits were organized, assembled and packaged for delivery. Trinity’s youth
confirmation group assembled the majority of the school kits. They heard a brief explanation of LWR and who will likely receive the kits by Marilyn Pazera, LWR coordinator for Trinity. “School kits improve school attendance and performance,” Pazera said. They will be placed in the hands of children looking for normalcy in the midst of chaos. It is expected that all of the kits will go to Syrian refugees. It didn’t take long for the youth and parents to separate
the items and assemble the kits. LWR has specific requirements to ensure that every child receives the same school equipment. The youth and adults wondered amongst themselves where in the world the kits would go and were grateful for the opportunity to help in a meaningful way. “The confirmands were very cooperative and super helpful,” said Linda Duffy, a volunteer leader. In addition to providing
school kits, Trinity’s quilters sewed and sent out 23 quilts. “The ultimate purpose of a quilt is to provide warmth, an essential need for people in every climate,” Pazera said. “They let people in their darkest hour know that they are not alone.” Through making quilts and collecting school materials, the entire worship community of Trinity contributed to this international outreach. LWR is a ministry of U.S. Lutherans, serving communities living in poverty overseas.

“Cemetery of Innocents” erected In conjunction with “40 Days for Life” and the “Respect Life” month of October, St. Mary Catholic Church in Oregon has erected a “Cemetery of the Innocents”, displaying 112 crosses on the lawn in front of the Parish Center on Ill. 64 between Oregon and Mt. Morris. A smaller version of the cemetery has been set up next to the church on Fourth Street. Over 57 million
innocent human lives have been lost through abortion since the Supreme Court legalized abortion in 1973. The display of crosses represents the 112 babies that are aborted each day in the state of Illinois. To support their views that life begins at conception, the church has also erected two banners. One has a scripture reading from Jeremiah stating that “…before I (God) formed
you in the womb, I knew you…” and the other promotes the “40 Days for Life” campaign. 40 Days for Life joins Christians around the world in a massive effort to end abortion through 40 days of prayer and fasting, peaceful prayer vigils and community outreach.

As part of the Blount organization, our team in Oregon now has access

Our relationship with Blount has been very beneficial. In the past four years, Blount has invested millions of dollars in manufacturing equipment, overall plant improvements, expansion into Brazil, computer technology, training and development programs, and new products.

One of the assets that Blount acquired in purchasing the business is the Woods brand. In the local community and in the agricultural market, Woods is a symbol of quality equipment that performs reliably time after time. Blount remains committed to the Woods brand and the people who build it, right here in Oregon. You may see our employees wearing hats and t-shirts with the Blount logo, carrying business cards that say “Blount,” or introducing themselves as employees of “Blount International.” When you see Blount, know that behind it is the tried and true Woods brand that has been a mainstay of the Oregon community since 1946.

Kable band board thanks all who helped Dear Editor, Kable Concert Band Board would like to express our thanks to the many people who helped make Warren Reckmeyer’s retirement party a success. The many friends, former and current band participants, students, and community members enjoying stories and memories made the afternoon a pleasure for all in attendance. Doreen White with her relatives and committee outdid themselves with music themed decorations and pictures from years past. Marching band hats served their purpose as centerpieces and provided picture taking options. A photograph of the commemorative Band Shell plaque to be mounted was on display. We would also like to thank the immediate Reckmeyer family for their attendance. We know that they, as
well as others, traveled great distances to celebrate this event. Very probably there are many others who contributed their time, energy, and ideas. We are grateful to you all. Kable Concert Band Board Bev Binkley, Andy Eckardt, Roy Keebler, Ellen Miller, and Sylvia Saunders
Woman thanks all who served in the military Dear Editor, I would like to pay tribute to thousands of men and women who served in the military over the years on this coming Veterans’ Day, as well as those who made the supreme sacrifice, as well as to their families. I am aware that millions sacrificed from the Revolutionary War for our freed, the Civil War to preserve the union, and free the slaves, the First World War to help Britain and France against the Kaiser, and the Second World War to fight the Nazis and the Pacific theater and all the hell holes our military went all over the world. Gave all. What did the USA and the huge numbers of those who served get? How can anyone thank them” Hundreds of veterans must wait for two years for medical care and die waiting; this is inhuman, Again thank you to all the Veterans from World War I, Korea, VietNam, World War II, and this Middle Eastern, Iraq, ISIS slaughter, and murder.

A new event at this year’s Autumn on Parade festival was the donut eating competition sponsored by Casey’s General Store. In the adult division Daniel Welle, Oregon, rose to the challenge and finished his box of a dozen donuts in just over six minutes. “Just do it!” yelled Welle as soon as he won the competition. “Yeah!” Welle earned $250 for his quick consumption of donuts. When he was finishing the final crumbs, which was about two donuts worth, his competitors had just started on their sixth or seventh donut. Welle treated the event like the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog eating contest at Coney Island.

“Thank you. That was really fun,” he said. “Thanks to all my fans. I did it.” He said there was nothing really special about the way he ate the donuts, except eating fast.
Several contests were held on Saturday from the youngest kids who had to eat one donut, to the adults that had to eat a dozen donuts. Contest winners included: • 5-7 year-olds — Jayden
Berry, age 6, $25; • 8-10 year-olds — Elizabeth Mois, age 10, $25; • 11-13 year-olds — Owen Ketter, age 12, $50; • 14-adult — Daniel Welle, 16, $250.

Hawks handle rival Cardinals twice by 2-1 scores Oregon remains undefeated in BNC games By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com The Oregon soccer team notched back-to-back 2-1 wins over Stillman Valley in five days. on Sept. 30, the Hawks took out their main conference rival at Park West and then returned the favor at Stillman on Monday in a rescheduled contest from Sept. 8. With a win over Rockford Lutheran this Thursday, Oregon would finish the BNC slate undefeated. The Hawks have already claimed the conference title, its first since another undefeated mark in 2012. “Our last three games were close,” Oregon coach Justyn Laxner said. Besides the two Stillman wins, Oregon beat Dixon by the identical 2-1 score last week. Against Stillman on Monday, Kaden Humphrey got the Hawks rolling early with an unassisted goal on a throw-in from the side. It ended up being touched by the goalkeeper, rolling into the net for a 1-0 lead with only 10 minutes gone in the game. “Our main goal is to win every first and second goal and out-possess the other team,” team leader Jarrett Reynolds said.
The remainder of the half saw shots on goal by Konner and Trey Wilson and Isidoro Marcos go astray. With 10 minutes gone in the second half, Konner set up Marcos in front of net, but the shot on goal was wide. A couple minutes later, a Cardinal shot on goal hit the top post of the net and bounced forward, allowing a group of Hawk defenders to clear it out to maintain the 1-0 lead. Chance Merrill and Jaspreet Gill each played a half a goal for Oregon, prompting Laxner to not name a true starter yet. “We’ll go with whoever is playing best,” said Laxner, thinking ahead to the post season next week. With Trey Wilson leading the defense, Stillman struggled to get decent shooting attempts. “Trey been a rock back there for us,” Reynolds said. Offensively, Oregon continued to turn up the pressure. With 27 minutes left in the second half, Austin Millan had a good look from the side, but was off. Three minutes later, Konner Wilson had two shot attempts and Reynolds a hard shot straight on that was stopped by the Cardinal net tender. “Oregon has a lot of speed and get position on you,” SV coach Brian Frank said. “They move the ball well and attack in numbers.” Oregon would increase its lead to 2-0 on a header by Millan, off an assist by

sideline throw-in specialist Humphrey. “I always throw it towards Jarrett,” Humphreys said. The play happened so quick it was hard to see who actually scored.
“I went in front of the goalkeeper and Austin got a hold of it,” Reynolds said. With one minute left in the game, Jack Iturbide got a consolation goal for Stillman. “Both sides had
opportunities, but they made the best of them,” Frank said. Similar to the first game, it was a physical contest. Oregon moved its record to 17-3 and the Cardinals fell to 10-5-1.
“Stillman Valley is very physical and always has been,” Laxner said. The Hawks open up regional play at Park West on Tuesday against Rockford Christian Life.
Hawks miss out qualifying as a team by one stroke Three advance as individuals to Byron Sectional By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com

It was a cruel fate nearly beyond belief for the Oregon boys golf team at the 1A regional at the Golf Club of Illinois at Algonquin on Tuesday. Not only did the Hawks miss out by one stroke of catching second-place Byron for the first time all year, but they also missed qualifying for the third and final sectional-qualifying spot by virtue of a tie-breaker with Elgin St. Edward. Using the top four individual scores from each team, Aurora Christian
won the meet with a 314, followed by a 338 by Byron, and 339s from Oregon and St. Ed. Since Oregon and Elgin tied, a tie-breaker was needed and that was the score of the fifth (non-scoring) golfer. Elgin won with an 88 for its No. 5 man compared to a 91 for Oregon. “It was a real competitive day,” Hawk coach Jim Spratt said. “We did a great job of competing. They battled and battled, but couldn’t get it done.” Interestingly, Elgin St. Edward has competed in 2A the past few years, finishing one spot of sectional qualifying each of the last two years. Last year, Oregon also missed out by one spot of qualifying for the sectional as a team. Oregon did qualify
three individuals for the sectional. Mitchell Nehrkorn continued an outstanding season with an 80 on the tough Golf Club of Algonquin. “Except for one hole where he had a triple, he played well all day,” Spratt said. Joining him were freshmen Adam Merrill, who carded an 84 and junior Matt Myers, who advanced out of the regional for the second straight year. “Merrill had a lot of consistency. His scoring card had a 41 and 43,” Spratt said. Myers shot an 87 and nervously had to wait for the final results to come in to see if that bubble score would hold up. In the end, there were four golfers with 87s Turn to B2
Lady Hawks fall to Rock Falls again in two games By Dan Woessner Sauk Valley Media
Sommer Rhea slid for a dig late in Game 2 of the Lady Hawks’ Oct. 1 match at Tabor Gym. The Oregon senior watched as the ball shot high up in the air and toward the bleachers. By chance, it skimmed off a rafter in the ceiling, and that provided the backspin to head back toward the court. That gave Samantha Miller the chance to run over and bump it to a teammate, who sent it over the net toward Rock Falls. A bump and set later, Rock Falls’ Bailey O’Brien slammed down a kill that caused an echo as it bounced off Tabor’s hardwood. The Big Northern West match wasn’t over at that point, but it kind of felt like it. Moments later, Rock Falls finished the job with a 25-22, 25-20 win. “We played really well
against Oregon the last time we played, so we had that confidence coming in,” Rock Falls’ Sydney Arickx said. “We also wanted to make up for the match on Tuesday.” The win helps the Rockets keep pace with Rockford Lutheran in the Big Northern West. Lutheran was 6-1 in the division heading into Thursday’s action, and beat the Rockets (13-6, 6-2) in Tuesday’s match at Tabor. “I told them that every match from now on is for the conference,” Rock Falls coach Sheila Mammosser said. “It was so great to see them come out tonight and plays so well after kind of falling flat on Tuesday. Oregon’s only two BNC losses have come to Rock Falls. The Hawks put the pressure on in both games, taking leads midway through the match. In Game 1, the Hawks took a 19-15 lead after a kill by Rhea and a Rock Falls hitting
error. The Rockets rallied back, tying the score at 21. Two hitting errors by Oregon gave Rock Falls the 23-21 lead. After a kill by Allyse Ketter, the Rockets closed the match with a nifty kill by Alexandra Romo that sort of resembled a hook shot in basketball, and then a block by Emily Sauer. In Game 2, Rock Falls jumped out to a 7-1 lead, forcing Oregon to expend energy playing catchup. Oregon did rally, thanks to some key kills by Rhea, Gylian Finch and MacKenzie Skoumal. Rhea led the team with eight kills in the match. Finch had seven. The Hawks took their first lead in Game 2 at 16-15, and extended it to 18-15 before Rock Falls took 10 of the last 12 points. That included a five-point run with Jordan Clevenger Oregon’s Sommer Rhea spikes the ball past Rock Falls’ Sydney Arickx (10) and serving that made the score Sydney Young (17) during Oct. 1 action in Rock Falls.

Failed conversions haunt Hawks in loss to Byron By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com When a team lives and dies by the rushing game, failed fourth-down conversions can be devastating. Oregon found that out in a 38-14 Big Northern loss to Byron on Oct. 2. The Tigers (5-1, 4-0) broke the game wide open in the second half with 28 unanswered points after stopping Oregon (2-4, 1-3) three times in the second quarter on fourth downs. “Converting those plays usually energizes us,” Oregon coach John Bothe said. “The flipside of not getting first downs is that it flattens you. That’s the risk you take.” With the score tied 7-7, the Hawks drove into Byron territory, but a fourth-down attempt came up a half foot short. Byron upped its advantage to 10-7 on a Trevor Koritz field goal and stopped Oregon again on a fourthdown try, as a Jerrick Orsted pass fell incomplete. Linebacker Maverik Good forced and recovered a fumble on the very next play on a bubble pass and Oregon found itself on Byron’s 39yard line. “We weren’t clicking on
all cylinders in the first half,” Byron coach Jeff Boyer said. “The key was the fourthdown stops.” Another of those came four plays later, as John Ghibellini again came up a half foot short on a fourth down run. Brayton Finch, who had a 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to start the game, almost put Oregon back in the lead. With 15 seconds left in the second quarter, Finch intercepted Payton Janssen and was headed for the end zone until Zack Cogswell tripped him up along the sideline. A 43-yard field goal attempt by Finch just sailed wide right as the half ended and Byron ahead 10-7. “We didn’t play well in the first half,” Boyer said. “A tip of the hat to Oregon. They kept the ball out of our hands and we couldn’t get in synch.” That drastically changed in the second half, as Byron’s four scoring drives only took six, two, four and two plays. The Tigers had 325 yards rushing. “We simplified it in the second half,” Boyer said. “We established the fullback (Avery Carlson). I was happy with the response after a poor

first half.” The first half couldn’t have started better for Oregon with Finch’s return and a three-and-out on Byron’s fist possession. “That was a great run and great blocking,” Bothe said. “It set the tone for the first half.” Finch broke a tackle at midfield and for the last 20 yards, outran five Tigers in
close pursuit. He was almost penned in, but skirted the sideline for an impressive return run. Byron did tie the game later in the first quarter on a 2-yard run by Cogswell. Thanks to defensive stops for no gain by Ghibellini and Jacob Cox, the Hawks held Byron out of the end zone on the next Tiger possession. That all changed in the
second half as the Hawks had no answer for Byron’s rushing attack. ‘They wore us down and went back to their core plays,” Bothe said. Caleb Mennen broke a 9-quarter Hawk offensive scoring drought by tacking on a 14-yard touchdown run to make it 38-14. “I don’t think we’ve played our best football yet,” Bothe
said. “We had flashes against North Boone and Dixon. What better way to show what we are made of by running the table and making the playoffs.” Last year, the Hawks were also 2-4 after a Byron loss and won the final three games to make the playoffs. Oregon begins the same journey with a trip to Winnebago, a 65-50 winner over Dixon.
Myers, Merrill, Nehrkorn advance From B1 and only two spots available, necessitating a playoff. Myers had a par on the first playoff hole, No. 10, to claim one of the two spots. Carson Buck and Zach Stromberg also competed, carding a 91 and 103 respectively. The sectional will be this
Monday at Prarieview Golf Course in Byron. “It’s too bad we can’t compete as a team there,” Spratt said. “This was a tough, tough course and the kids know they left some shots out there.” At the Big Northern Conference tourney on Oct. 1, Buck and Nehrkorn made all-conference.
For the Lady Hawks, Abi Scheidecker and Ali Scheidecker each carded 95s for Oregon at the BNC tourney on Sept. 30. The Lady Hawks, Johnsburg, and RichmondBurton each had 407 totals, behind Rockford Lutheran (387), Burlington Central (391) and Byron (405)

After years of post-season heartbreak, its go time for the Oregon boys soccer team. No one knows this better than senior Jarrett Reynolds. “All of us have playing together for a long time,” Oregon’s Jordan Wilkins, left, placed 17th and Ian Reynolds said. “The goal Hussung placed third at the Freeport Pretzel Invitational is to finally get out of Oct. 3.

sectional play. First, though, Oregon needs to get by a familiar foe at the regional – No. 3 seed Stillman Valley. The two teams appear headed for a highly anticipated battle next Friday afternoon at Oregon Park West. In 2012, Oregon had beaten Stillman twice in the regular season before dropping the post-season tilt. Last year, on its way to a regional title, the Cardinals held off Oregon 3-2. If there was ever a team that Oregon wanted to settle the score with, it is Stillman Valley. In chatting with the two veteran officials that worked the Hawk-Cardinal game on Monday, both had praise for Oregon. They were impressed with the Hawks’ ball control and hustle to the ball. Indeed, when there was a loose ball, Oregon usually out-ran Stillman to it. That’s more than team speed; it’s that intangible of hustle. Should Oregon get by the Cardinals, they would meet the winner of the HinckleyBig Rock regional. HBR is the No. 1 seed from that subsectional and Oregon has already bested them 4-0. “I think we have a pretty good chance of getting to state,” said Oregon athletic director Mike Lawton, after reviewing the seedings. “We can beat anyone from that sectional. If the Hawks are fortunate enough to win the sectional, they would travel to East Peoria for the super-sectional and a shot to go downstate. “That’s our goal – to make it to state,” Oregon coach
Andy Colbert
Justyn Laxner said. The IHSA volleyball tournament will also utilize the sub-sectional format. Ideally for Oregon, the Lady Hawks would claim the No. 1 seed, with Byron and Lutheran the next two seeds. That would keep those two squads away from Oregon until the sectional. Oregon owns wins over Byron and Lutheran, so they are in the driver’s seat for that coveted No. 1 seed. It’s good to see the IHSA finally being proactive in spreading the top teams around. That will eliminate geographic pairings of multiple 20-plus winners in one regional and all teams of sub-500 records in another. Meanwhile, the post season has already begun for the golfers, the first sport of the year to wrap its season up. Yes, summer is gone and the school sports year is definitely in full swing. In less than a month, the girls start basketball practice.

Great ShakeOut drill is next week The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and Ogle County Emergency Management Agency are encouraging people in Illinois to take part in the annual Great ShakeOut drill next week. Millions of people across the U.S. and in several countries around the globe will take a few minutes to practice actions that could save their lives in the event of an earthquake during the drill on Thursday, Oct. 15 at 10:15 a.m. “The ShakeOut drill is a quick, easy way to practice earthquake preparedness,” said IEMA Director James K. Joseph. “It takes very little time, so it works well for schools and office buildings. You simply drop down to the ground, take cover under a table or other piece of heavy furniture and hold on.” Illinois has participated in ShakeOut drills for the past five years. Nearly 578,000 Illinoisans took part in the nationwide earthquake drill last year. To date, more than 534,000 people in Illinois are registered for the October ShakeOut event. Joseph said that some of the most powerful earthquakes to ever occur in the U.S. happened a little
more than 200 years ago in the New Madrid Seismic Zone, which reaches into southern Illinois. That series of earthquakes in 1811-12 lasted for several months, and shaking was felt as far away as the East Coast. Schools, businesses, government agencies, families and others can register to participate in the drill at www.shakeout.org/ centralus. Registered participants will receive additional information about the drill and earthquake preparedness. While the international drill will take place on Oct. 15, individual drills can be conducted anytime within two weeks of that date. The drill focuses on the “Drop, Cover and Hold On” protective actions people should take when an earthquake begins: “drop” down to the floor, take “cover” under a sturdy desk, table or other furniture, and “hold on” to the furniture item and be prepared to move with it until the shaking stops. Additional information about the earthquake risk in Illinois and steps to take before, during, and after an earthquake is available at www.Ready.Illinois.gov.
