SPECIAL EVENT

300+ ride in Tour of Scenic Ogle County Perfect weather greets bicyclists in VOP event

BY EARLEEN HINTON ehinton@oglecountynews.com Bicyclists pedaling their way along Ogle County’s rural roads may have become a common ho-hum occurrence for some local residents and motorists.

But there was at least one spectator who took the Third Annual Tour of Scenic Ogle County several gallops further on Saturday.

Hildalgo fixed his eyes north from his lush field along Ridge Road and when a bike rider buzzed by his fence he did what any happy horse would do, he galloped right along.

“He was gorgeous,” said one bicyclist when she reached the rest stop at the John Deere Historic Site in Grand Detour. “I tried to get a photo, but it was hard to do. It was really neat.”

Tex Bellows, Hildalgo’s caretaker, said the gelding was very interested in the bicyclists while the other horses in the field ignored them.

“He ran with the bikers all day and was very tired,” said Bellows.

Perfect fall temps and sunny skies resulted in 320 bicyclists taking part in this year’s TOSOC. “It was fantastic The weather was just marvelous - not a cloud in the sky,” said Brion Brooks, executive director of the Village of Progress, the organization that hosts the event.

Proceeds from TOSOC benefit the Village of Progress, a private not-for-profit corporation that was founded in Oregon

“This year our Chamber Christmas ornament will feature the 30th Anniversary of F.N.

STATUE UPDATE

It’s official: Enough money raised to begin repairs

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com It’s official — enough money has been raised to go ahead with making the long-awaited repairs to the Black Hawk Statue.

Eric Schenck, executive director of the Illinois Conservation Foundation, made the announcement Sept.

21 at the annual ICF Gala in Springfield, where members of the Oregon community were among those honored.

Schenck said the $225,000 raised in the last few months by the Oregon Together Black Hawk Restoration Team means contracts can be signed and work can proceed.

“At least $225,000 is now available to match the grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity,” he said Tuesday morning. “Some of the money is in the form of pledges, not checks.

We are extremely confident we have the money and everything we need to proceed.”

Schenck praised the efforts of the Oregon community in raising the funds needed and said a table was

reserved for them at Gala.

“We wanted to recognize and thank those from the Oregon community who worked so diligently to raise this money,” he said.

At this point, Schenck said the Illinois Department of Conservation, which has jurisdiction over the statue, is working with the vendor, Quality Restorations Inc., of Wood Dale, to get concrete mixes prepared for the repairs.

A three-party contract is also being drawn up between the IDNR, ICF, and Quality Restorations Inc. for the actual repair work.

“Most likely what we’re looking at is a spring start for the restoration work,” Schenck said.

The 48-foot concrete statue will most likely be wrapped in the upcoming weeks to protect it from the winter weather, he said. It has spent the last four winters in protec-

tive wrappings.

Schenck said maintenance of the 107-year-old statue will be an ongoing project, even after the repairs are completed next year.

“It’s not one and done,” he said.

“There’s a lot that will need to be done to keep this iconic statue in good condition and accessible to the public. It’s an ongoing and diligent effort.”

The statue, created by sculptor Lorado Taft in 1910 as a tribute to Native Americans, is situated on a high bluff overlooking the Rock River at Lowden State Park near Oregon.

Time and weather have significantly damaged the surface of the landmark, which was unveiled in 1911.

Those wishing to donate to its restoration and maintenance can do so online at www.ilcf.org or to send checks to Illinois Conservation Foundation, One Natural Resources Way, Springfield, IL 62702.

For more information call Black Hawk Restoration Team Chairman Jan Stilson at 815-732-7439.

OGLE COUNTY BOARD

New plan is $1M cheaper than original

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com

The Ogle County Board approved the final plan Tuesday for the new jail in the 100 block of South Sixth Street in Oregon. This artist’s drawing shows the north side with the judicial center on the left. same brick on its exterior as the judicial center across the street that it will connect to.

Board chairman Kim Gouker, of Byron, was pleased with the new design.

“This building is much more efficient for our employees to monitor inmates, which makes it safer,” he said.

The exterior will look like an office building, rather than a jail to make it more compatible with the residential neighborhood it touches.

“The outside design is much more attractive and will fit in with the community. And it’s a million and a half dollars cheaper,” Gouker said.

“It won’t look like a jail and it won’t say jail anywhere on it.”

The jail will be called the Ogle County Judicial Center Annex.

With the final design approved, the county can now move ahead with construction preparation.

Construction manager Thomas Leonard, of Gilbane Building Company, told the board that he expects the work to begin around April 1 and to be completed in approximately 20 months.

The project will be let out for bids in January, he said, and bids will be presented to the board for approval in February.

Gouker said the new jail will be a plus for the county.

“This has been in the planning for 20 years,” he said. “The old building is inefficient and unsafe. It’s import-

ant that we have a secure place for our employees, a safe place for inmates, and that we are in compliance with state jail requirements.”

The jail will be located in the 100 block of South Sixth Street in Oregon and will face Washington Street (Ill. 64).

The street will be closed to allow a large sally port and enclosed passageway to connect the jail and the judicial center for the secure transfer of inmates into the jail, as well as from the jail to courtrooms.

Besides housing units for men and women, the building will include exercise areas, a prisoner intake area near the sally port, administrative offices, kitchen and laundry areas, and medical facilities.

The final jail design approved Tuesday by the Ogle County Board will cost less and look better than the one proposed two months ago.

The board approved a design estimated at $25.5 million for a 41,700 square foot building with 152 beds and a more attractive exterior.

Jeff Goodale, Director of Justice at Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum, Inc., a Chicago architectural and planning firm, told the board that the design for the jail had been reworked since July to bring it into line with the budget for the project and make it more compatible with its surroundings.

“I think we have a better partner with the judicial center and a better partner with the neighborhood as well,” Goodale said.

Scaling back from almost a two-story design to one-story took 11,000 square feet from the plan proposed in July, reducing the cost without compromising security, Goodale said.

The plan proposed in July was estimated at $26.7 million.

The new one-story plan uses the

LOCAL HISTORY

Doug Wean answered when his country called Editor’s note: Otto Dick, Oregon, has researched the people, places, and events important in the Oregon area’s history for the Ogle County Historical Society. The following is one of a series of the articles he has written.

BY OTTO DICK Doug Wean answered the call. Â (The Marines Credo: Never leave one of their own on the battlefield) Doug Wean was living on a farm near Mt. Morris when he enlisted in the Navy on Aug. 1, 1966. Â After basic training at the Naval Training Command in Great Lakes, he completed his training at the Navy Hospital Corps School and Field Medical Service School. Â He served as a Hospital Corpsman at Portsmouth, Virginia. Â He studied Marine Corps Counter-Guerrilla Warfare and Jungle Training at Okinawa, Japan from October to November 1967. Â In 1968 he served in South Vietnam, assigned to K Battery, 4th Amphibious Brigade, 12th Marine Regiment of the 9th Marine Amphibious Brigade.

Doug’s Silver Star Citation reads: “For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action while serving as a Corpsman with Battery K. Fourth Battalion, Twelfth Marines, Ninth Marine Amphibious Brigade in connection with operations against the enemy in the Republic

Chuck Wean, Sr.

of Vietnam.  “On the morning of 19 September 1968, while occupying a fire support position at the Rockpile in Quang Tri Province, Petty Officer Wean’s platoon came under a heavy volume of North Vietnamese artillery and small arms fire.  “During the ensuing attack, several rounds impacted in the powder storage area wounding numerous Marines and igniting an intense fire that spread throughout the platoon area.  “Responding instantly to a call for medical assistance, Petty Officer Wean unhesitatingly left his position of cover and rushed across the fire-swept terrain to the side of a wounded comrade.  “Ignoring the fragmentation of exploding ordinance and the enemy small arms fire aimed at and impacting near him, he shielded the

wounded marine with his own body while calmly administering medical care to the casualty.  “When the wounded Marine was evacuated from the field of fire, Petty Officer Wean fearlessly moved to another wounded casualty and skillfully treated his wounds, until he was extracted from the combat area.  “His heroic actions and sincere concern for the welfare of his comrades inspired all who observed him and was instrumental in saving the lives of two Marines.  “By his courage, resolute determination and steadfast devotion to duty in the face of great personal danger, Petty Officer Wean upheld the highest traditions of the United States Marine Corps and of the United States Naval Service.�

At last month’s Those Were The Days at the Oregon Depot, Doug

Jim Wean

gave an inspirational account of his life in Vietnam.  Wean’s father, Chuck, also served in the Navy, fighting in the South Pacific in World War II.  On Veterans Day in 2012 Doug recalled, “We often hear that freedom has a price, and that each generation pays its dues. Today is that day we say thank you to those generations that have gone before and to those of today who have heeded the call to service.  “From the beginning of our country until today, roughly one percent of our population served in our military.  “Today there are 24 million living veterans, including those on active duty. In 2012 according to the Department of Veterans Affairs, we are losing 517 veterans every day.�

My son, Matt, and his wife, Ema, are getting ready to make the trip home in a couple of weeks.

We will be celebrating their first anniversary with a wedding in downtown Chicago.

The details of their special day are coming together. I can’t wait for all of us to be together.

Clint has finalized his plans to come home.

He is finding that mastering adulthood is not an easy task. I know he will get the hang of it soon.

Over this past weekend, my brother, Ben Bittinger, was over to help stain my deck.

I worked with a brush and roller in the morning and he joined me with a sprayer for the afternoon.

Ben finished the staining project beautifully. I am very blessed to have such a great family.

One of my jobs while Ben was spraying the deck was to look for spots that he missed.

We worked back and forth finding areas that needed a little extra spray of the stain.

He continued to go over the deck until every spot was covered.

Looking at the finished project, I’m glad he wasn’t satisfied with a job done good enough.

God sees each of us and wants us to have the best life possible.

He keeps working in our lives reminding us of His love and His promises.

Even when we feel that we have been overlooked, He still sees us.

At any time, we can turn to the Father and know that we are not alone.

I hope to see you next week in our church or one of our local churches.

ENVIRONMENT

2018 Rock River Sweep canceled due to high water Continued high water levels of the Rock River has resulted in the cancellation of the 2018 Rock River Sweep.

Organizer Terry Schuster said the sweep was canceled because the river is still in a flood advisory stage with more rain storms predicted this week.

“The river is dropping very slowly, If it is still at advisory stage on Saturday, then White Pelican would not be able to provide canoes,” Schuster said. “The current height of water

also makes it difficult to walk along banks. Islands are still partially submerged.”

White Pelican Canoe & Kayak Rental Inc., of Oregon, was going to provide a limited number of canoes for use for the sweep and a free shuttle service from Castle Rock boat landing back to Kiwanis Park for those with their own canoes or kayaks.

“Given the uncertainty of river height, less accessible river banks, and the rainy cold weather predicted for Saturday we’re reluctantly

canceling until 2019,” Schuster said.

The river sweep was initially scheduled for Sept. 8, but heavy rains prompted organizers to move the event date.

The Rock River Sweep is an effort by many groups to clean up and down the Rock River, from Horicon, Wisconsin, to where it meets the Mississippi River in Rock Island.

It is sponsored by RockRiverSweep. org, a grass roots, non-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving the health and ecosystem of the

Rock River and its tributaries.

Locally, the Oregon Rock River Sweep is also sponsored by the Ogle County Solid Waste Management, the Ogle County Sheriff ’s Office, the Oregon Park District, Oregon Together, and American Rivers National River Cleanup.

Bicyclists could choose from three riding routes, a 10-mile, 32-mile, and 62-mile. Riders started and finished their rides from the Village of Progress in Oregon.

Close to 200 riders had passed through the first rest stop at the John Deere Historic Site by 11 a.m.

Tim Johnson, of Rockton, was riding with seven members of Team Fur Bandits when he pulled his 1984 10-speed Raleigh to the fence at the John Deere Historic Site rest stop.

“I found this bike along the road and restored it myself,” said Johnson, smiling. “I wrecked it in Iowa at the RAGBRAI. I just like riding old bikes.”

RAGBRAI, (The Register’s Annu-

al Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa) is an annual seven-day bicycle ride across the state.

According to its website, Team Fur Bandit “steals the attention away from the negativity in the world and renews the interest in fun, fur and philanthropy. We’re about good deeds, a good time and creating a connected cycling community. We make it our personal responsibility to look out for the well being of our community and those around us.”

The club claims to be North America’s “premiere professional fur-covered bicycle cycling team”. It is based out of Rockford, “taking our furry bikes wherever the roads lead us, while helping those who need us the most.”

To combine a desire to give and a passion for cycling, the team officially formed in 2010 as a giving source to residents in need around the Rock River Valley community.

It donates dollars raised through

biking events to local charities, Johnson said.

The John Deere rest stop enabled B.J. Fenwick, owner of Green River Cyclery, Dixon, to fix Steve Casillas’ bike.

Casillas, a Rock Falls native who now lives in Evergreen Park, welcomed Fenwick’s expertise.

“I was struggling in just one gear, but he just fixed it which is great,” said Casillas referring to Fenwick.

“It’s amazing what you can do when you know what you’re doing.”

Fenwick and his company provided maintenance for bikes before and during the race.

“It’s great experience so see how things break and how to fix them again,” said Fenwick. “And it’s a lot of fun too.”

After leaving Grand Detour, 32-mile riders headed off to the next stop at the Nature Conservancy’s Nachusa Grasslands, along Lowden Road.

Many riders pulled off by the Grasslands to get a good look at the bison who were grazing close to the fence.

“Even the bison showed up,” said Brooks.

TOSOC was developed with the help of Oregon resident and cycling enthusiast Scott Stephens who has developed a number of biking routes around Ogle County.

The 32-mile route took cyclists through Grand Detour (stopping at the John Deere Historic Site) and the Nachusa Grasslands for bison viewing. The 62-mile loop included Lowden-Miller State Forest and West Grove Road.

Search TOSOC on Facebook for more information or contact the Village by phone at 815-732-2126 or email at TOSOC@villageofprogress. org.

Stillman Valley wears down Hawks in 29-7 win

BY ANDY COLBERT acolbert@oglecountynews.com The game of football has all sorts of statistical variances, but one seldom noticed is the usage of substitutions.

In Stillman Valley’s 29-7 win over Oregon Sept. 21, the Cardinals had the luxury of wearing down the visitors with superior depth.

“They bring in eight [substitutes], we bring in one,” Oregon coach Nick Schneiderman said. “We’re exhausted, and they just overpowered us.”

That was evident in how much better the Hawks played in the first half. On the opening drive, Dalton Hermes broke off numerous long runs to get Oregon to the 29-yard line, but Stillman Valley held on fourth-&-1.

“Oregon was very physical and got into an unbalanced set,” said Stillman coach Mike Lalor, who called two early timeouts to re-position his defense. “We made a few adjustments and clamped down.

After that, we were very efficient on offense and defense.”

Linebacker Zach Crandall, who had seven solo tackles and 16 assists, recovered a Cardinal fumble to give the ball back to Oregon at the Hawk 33-yard line. Oregon netted a couple first downs, but stalled on fourth down again.

On the very next play, Stillman’s Matthew Williams burst free for a 53-yard run, aided by a crushing downfield block by Logan Lagerhausen. Three plays later, it was Lagerhausen cracking over the goal line from 1 yard out for a 7-0 lead.

Hermes, who had 134 yards on 18 carries, ran for 41 yards on the first play from scrimmage after the kickoff. An unsportsmanlike penalty tacked on another 15, and Oregon had first-&-10 at the 13-yard line.

Stillman’s defense tightened up, and for the third time in a row, Oregon was denied on a fourth down.

“It’s like there is an invisible wall around the 20-yard line,” Schneiderman said. “We got a big boost from Hermes on the run, and couldn’t capitalize.”

That efficiency Lalor referred to was evident in the next 5 minutes, as QB Tyler Lamer led his team on a 16-play, 86-yard drive. It was LagerSee FOOTBALL, Page 17

INJURY WOES Continued from Page 16

Golf ’s post season ready to begin next week B

elieve it or not, the post-season begins next week for fall sports with golf regionals.

With golf courses closing at an alarming rate, it probably shouldn’t be a surprise that the quality of play among high school golfing is down from its peak of about 20 years ago.

That was when courses were being built all over the place and the sport was never more popular.

During the 1990s, many smaller schools that hadn’t offered golf, started adding it.

Those teams remain to this day, but there aren’t as many kids out and the caliber of skills has decreased.

Scores of 150-160s for duals are being replaced with 170-180s.

Yes, there are still some top-flight individuals, but nowhere near as many as years past.

The same applies for cross country, especially the boys. In northern

COMMENTARY Andy Colbert Illinois, small-school cross country might be at it lowest point ever.

I’ve always felt the main culprit to be soccer, in that so many of the runner types are doing that instead of doing cross country. Another factor in both golf and cross country is fewer participation across the board in all sports.

I hate to get into the aspect of kids not wanting to put the miles in to become a state-caliber runner, but it’s true. Maybe long distance running is more desirable for us older people. As a teenager, I never had any great desire to get out and run.

But, credit to those kids that are at

least out for cross country. There is not better sport for fitness and camaraderie among ever all competitors.

Injuries Hamper Hawks The already depleted Oregon football team had two guys on crutches on the sidelines of the Stillman Valley game, another recovering from an injury and still another home resting from surgery.

Even though the Hawks fell 29-7 to Stillman, they deserve to be recognized as a good football team. Don’t let the 1-4 record influence your thinking.

These guys play extremely hard, execute above average and are exceeding well coached. That’s not just some homer columnist saying that. That is what opposing coaches are quick to tell me.

In the first half, Oregon was moving the ball well and if there is one

person that epitomizes that hardnosed determination it is Dalton Hermes.

He a player for all sports and a huge asset to the school.

I left the game feeling proud to be a Hawk fan.

Mike Lalor was quite gracious in comments towards Oregon. The won-loss record doesn’t show it, but Oregon it representing itself well.

Congrats Katie Congratulations to Katie Erdmann of Forreston for her 1,000th kill last week against AFC. I learned a kill doesn’t necessarily have to be a hard-hit slam. It can be a little dink over the net, provided the nearest opponent to the ball can’t return it.

Compared to other sports, volleyball is a sport that has gained in fan popularity over the years.

hausen (31 carries,134 yards) with 1-yard touchdown with 17 seconds left in the first half for a 15-0 lead.

“The playmaker is No. 2 [Lamer].

We didn’t want him to get loose,” Schneiderman said.

As the half came to end, though, Oregon and its roster of 14 healthy varsity bodies began to show signs of fatigue.

“Credit to Oregon for playing as hard as they did. You can tell they’re extremely well-coached,” Lalor said. “If we don’t score there, it’s a one-score game at half. Once we scored, I thought we had them on the ropes.”

Coming out after halftime, Stillman Valley effectively put the game away with a 12-play, 66-yard drive, capped off by Lagerhausen’s third 1-yard score of the game for a 22-0 advantage. The Cardinals had 351 yards on 60 carries, while Oregon (1-4) had a respectable 230 on 40 carries. Neither team completed a pass.

With 4:17 left in the game, Carter Fruin scored for Oregon to make it 29-7.

Another second-half highlight for the Hawks was a 63-yard punt by freshman Daniel Dominguez.

Jacob Milliman had an interception of Stillman’s only pass of the game to stop a scoring drive early in the fourth quarter.

It was a busy week of volleyball for the seventh grade Eagles from David L. Rahn Junior High.

They had matches on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

On Monday, the Eagles traveled to Rock Falls for a non-conference match.

The Eagles were never in game one as they missed numerous serves in the 13-25 loss.

The second game looked promising but again missed serves and the non-existent Rock Falls offense had the Eagles on their toes in the 23-25 defeat.

Game three was a bit more competitive but strong serving by the hosts led to their 17-25 win.

The following night, the Eagles hosted conference foe, Pecatonica, for two matches. In the night’s first match, Lexi Ebert led a strong Eagle attack with her serving. She had 13 service points but DLR fell just short, losing 23-25.

Game two looked good for the Eagles early on but Pecatonica’s serving was strong as the home team lost, 17-25.

Ebert had seven points.

In the final game of the match, DLR’s missed serves worked against them in the 18-25 loss.

In the second match, DLR faced most

To the Eagles’ credit, they fought hard before dropping game one, 23-25. Sarah Stevens had five service points to led the team.

In game two, Pec’s servers were too much for DLR as they fell, 7-25. In the third game, the Indians again put in their strong servers in for the 7-15 loss.

On Thursday, the Eagles traveled to Centennial School in Polo to take on the Pirates in conference action.

DLR started the first game slowly but picked it up midway. The middle of the serving line-up scored seven points to propel the Eagles to a 25-19 win.

Peytyn Sadler led the team with seven points. Game two was another close one as the two teams battled it out. It was a great game of volleyball!

DLR prevailed, thanks to six serving points from Kenna Wubbena, 25-20. DLR made it a clean sweep when they took game three, 25-14.

DLR’s reserve played some of their best volleyball to date. Olivia Paul had four points to lead the team.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Astrograph Going over what’s happened in the past will give you greater clarity when dealing with matters that pertain to your home, health and finances.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2018 LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Set an example instead of letting someone else choose what you can do. If you follow your heart and stand up for your rights and beliefs, you will reach your goal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Don’t wait for someone to say “Go!” Strike while your ideas are fresh and the momentum is flowing.

Celebrate your victory with a loved one to enhance your relationship.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Speed things up a bit. It’s important to take care of your responsibilities and avoid complaints.

Someone will try to make you look bad or meddle in your affairs.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Being rigid will work against you. Listen to suggestions and be cognizant of how others will be affected by the choices you make.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t get down when

you can get moving. If you don’t like what someone is doing, distance yourself and go about your business.

Choose to do what’s right instead of indulging in someone else’s poor judgment.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Looking back will give you incentive to move forward. Reconnecting with someone from your past will encourage you to go after the goals you have yet to accomplish.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A partnership will need special attention. Ignoring problems will not solve matters. Address the source head-on to move forward with no regrets.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Emotions will push you to make a move you should have made some time ago. A second chance should not be disregarded. Step up and do what needs to be done.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Travel and socializing should be at the top of your list. Getting together with friends, peers or anyone you find interesting will spark your imagination and convince you to try something new.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you follow your intuition, it will lead you to greater opportunity.

Partnerships will develop if you network more or expand your interests. Love and romance will enrich your life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Trust in your judgement, not in what someone else tries to coax you into believing or doing. Emotional tactics will be used to tempt you to behave indulgently.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) -- Make the most of what you’ve got. Your ingenuity and drive will help you gain support and the respect of those you encounter.

Romance is highlighted. ©2018 UFS
