Election Results - Sheriff

VanVickle edges Harn by 136 votes

By Vinde Wells Editor A Rochelle police officer was the successful candidate in a three-way race for Ogle County Sheriff in Tuesday’s Republican primary election.

Challenger Brian VanVickle, 37, a Rochelle K-9 officer, defeated current sheriff Michael Harn, 52, Forreston, by 136 votes.

Firefiighters from eight departments battled a fire at Whiskey’s River Smokehouse on the evening of March 16.

VanVickle garnered 3,470 Photo courtesy of the Mt. Morris Fire Department votes to defeat Harn, who received 3,334 votes, and Joe Drought, 50, Rochelle, who received 2,821 votes. “I’m so appreciative of all the people who stepped up

Fire destroys restaurant

State’s Attorney

Blaze ruled accidental

By Vinde Wells Editor A fire that destroyed a local restaurant Sunday night in Oregon has been determined to be accidental in origin.

Oregon fire officials and investigators from the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) determined that the fire that destroyed Whiskey’s River Smokehouse and the apartment above it, located at 123 N. Second St. was an accident. “We know it was accidental and started in the basement area, but we don’t know the cause yet,� Oregon Fire Chief Don Heller said Tuesday afternoon.

Two representatives from the OSFM and a dog went through the inside of the burned-out building on Monday morning.

The restaurant, which has been closed for some time, is located just north of the Oregon Fire Station.

Heller said a jogger saw smoke coming from the structure and flagged down an on-duty Oregon Policeman who alerted the fire department at 8:20 p.m.

The building’s owner Kevin Wedel, who lived

in the upstairs apartment, was not at home when the fire occurred, Heller said.

Firefighters found heavy smoke when they arrived on the scene. “The building was still intact and showing a lot of smoke,� Heller said.

Oregon firefighters were assisted at the scene by the Mt. Morris, Polo, Byron, Stillman Valley, Franklin Grove, Dixon City, and Dixon Rural Fire Departments and the Oregon Ambulance.

Temperatures in the teens and a brisk wind made fighting the fire difficult, Heller said. “The cold was the reason we had so many crews there,� he said. “That allowed us to change them out often and let them warm up.�

Best Beginnings Child Care across the street from the fire was forced to close on Monday due to the smoke inside the building.

Owner Jeff Croegaert said he anticipated the facility would be open as usual on Tuesday. “The smell of smoke is really strong inside,� he said. “We’re just airing it out today to be on the safe side.�

and took part in this vision,�

VanVickle said after the votes were tallied. “It’s all come to fruition.�

Drought wished VanVickle well as he conceded defeat. “It was a very close race obviously. We gave it our best shot and thought we could do some good things in the county,� he said. “The voters have spoken. Congratulations to Brian VanVickle.�

Harn did not answer his phone or return a phone call by 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.

As the early returns came in, Harn led the race by a strong margin — sometimes Turn to A2

By Chris Johnson Reporter Ogle County will have a new state’s attorney this fall.

Challenger Eric Morrow defeated current state’s attorney Michael Rock Tuesday in the Republican Primary 4,925 votes to 4,448. “If these numbers ring true I am excited and I look forward to serving the people in Ogle County,� said Morrow minutes after the last precinct reported.

Rock was planning on calling Morrow. “I am going to call Eric tonight to congratulate him,� said Rock Tuesday evening.

Rock will continue serving as state’s attorney through Dec. 1.

“When we get closer to the fall we will work together to ensure a smooth transition,�

Rock said.

Rock, 47, Byron, was appointed state’s attorney in January 2013 after then state’s attorney Ben Roe was appointed as a judge.

Tuesday’s primary election was the first time voters weighed in on who they wanted as the county’s prosecutor to replace Roe. Morrow, 38, Oregon, graduated law school in 2000 and was an assistant state’s attorney before joining the law firm of Smith, Hanson, Morrow, and Floski in 2002.

Morrow also serves as an Ogle County public defender.

VanVickle edges Harn From A1 as much as 400 votes.

However, the tide turned as the votes were counted from the Rochelle area.

VanVickle has served as a Rochelle police officer since 2009. Prior to that he had 13 years of management experience in the private sector.

He and his family reside in Rochelle, where he serves on the Rochelle Township High School Board.

He will likely be elected

sheriff in the Nov. 4 general election since no other candidates have filed from other parties to run.

Harn was elected sheriff in 2010 after he defeated incumbent Greg Beitel in the primary.

According to state statute, Harn received enough votes to challenge the election results and ask for a recount. He has until mid-April to file a challenge.

Voter turnout was 30.87 percent, high for an off-

year primary, County Clerk Rebecca Huntley said. “I’m very, very thrilled with the turnout,� she said. “It’s nice the voters of Ogle County decided to have a voice in who serves as our elected officials.�

Huntley, who was running unopposed for the Republican nomination for her current post, received 8,373 votes Tuesday.

County Treasurer John Coffman, who was also running unopposed, received 8,011 votes.

Eric Morrow wins SA primary From A1

Morrow is cautiously optimistic with his chances in the November general election.

Currently no independents

a smooth transition,� said Morrow.

The term as state’s attorney will be for two years, which is the remaining half of Roe’s post.

He said he is not sure how long Rainwater had been in the stream.

Rainwater had not been reported missing.

Harn said that during the course of the investigation deputies learned that Rainwater’s family members believed he had moved to southern Illinois sometime around Jan. 1.

Sheriff’s deputies were assisted by the Ogle County Coroner’s Office and the Illinois State Police Crime Services.

Oregon Republican Reporter, Thursday, March 20, 2014, Page A3

Oregon had two lumber, coal yards in early 1900s Editor’s note: Otto Dick, Oregon, has researched the people, places, and events important in Oregon’s history for the Ogle County Historical Society.

The following is an article he submitted.

By Richard Rhoads In the early 1900s, there were two lumber and coal yards in town. One was located on the corner where the fire station now stands.

It was originally called Midwest Lumber and then became Oregon Lumber around 1932.

John Rhoads came from Rudd, Iowa, in 1928 to manage the yard.

He was manager until he retired in 1953 when Cliff Elliott took over.

Employees during that time included Merritt Reed (bookkeeper), Peachy Westendorf (secretary), Frank Masters, Al Snapp, Jake Ulferts Sr., Clyde Gigous, and Floyd Winters (yardmen).

Merv Rhoads worked there part-time during his school years shoveling coal, etc.

The work was hard and the work week long, nine hours a day, six days a week, for $22.50 cash, paid at 5 p.m. on Saturday night (1936).

Across the street from the Oregon Lumber Company, to the south where Jay’s DriveIn now stands, was the Spahn & Rose Lumber Co. In the 1920s and 30s, Frank Einsweiler was the manager.

He eventually moved on to

This advertisement was in the Illinois Farmer Book of Ogle County in 1925.

Galena and formed V & E Construction.

V & E Construction built Jefferson School, St. Bride’s Church, and St. Mary’s School.

Around 1936, Spahn & Rose Lumber Company was destroyed in a huge spectacular fire. Because of the heat of the fire, it was feared the Oregon Lumber could also burn, but it was saved.

The only Spahn & Rose building to survive sits today behind (Sauer’s Garage) the Main Street Machines building.

The coal yard was eventually sold to George Kinn.

Midwest Lumber bought the land and remains of the Spahn & Rose yard.

Most homes before 1950 were heated with coal (no gas lines yet) and August and September were the months people had their basement coal bins filled up to the floor joists.

Lumber and coal came to Oregon by train and the coal hopper cars were spotted at the coal yards by the Oregon switch engine.

Before the 1940s, the coal

hopper cars were unloaded by hand.

That is, a man would shovel off the whole railcar load one scoop at a time over the side.

A good man could unload a coal car in two ten-hour days and earn around $20 total.

As Merv Rhoads remembers unloading coal cars, “You would have to dig your way to the bottom of the rail car to get smooth scooping only to find out that the rail car floor had button rivets that your scoop would catch on and make things difficult to say the least.�

After the 1940s, hopper cars with bottom unloading doors were used to dump the coal onto portable conveyor elevators which unloaded the coal.

There were maybe eight types of coal stocked at each lumber yard, soft or hard, brickets, stoker, and lump to name a few.

The cheapest coal was tailings (dust and small pieces) which people of limited income would buy and carry home in buckets or wheelbarrows.

Few people appreciate what their ancestors went through in past years.

The Spahn & Rose Lumber Company was located where Jay’s Drive-In is now.

The Oregon Lumber Company was located where the Oregon Fire Station now sits.

Before the advent of plastic buttons for clothing, Oregon Lumber Yard bought Rock River clam shells which were resold to a button factory in Iowa.

Clammers would bring the shells in big gunny sacks to be weighed and paid for by the pound.

The lumber yard would then load a rail car by hand with shells for shipment to Iowa.

Merv Rhoads remembered an instance when a clammer who had weighed and was paid for his shells became suspect for an above normal

shell bag weight.

Unbeknownst to the clammer, a lumber yard employee was watching as he dumped his shells on the pile.

Out of one bag of shells came a big hunk of pig iron which the clammer promptly threw in the river.

None the less, corrections were made for the transaction.

In 1953, Merv Rhoads and Charles Mongan started Ogle Lumber Company (formerly Blackhawk Lumber).

Again, there were two lumber yards in Oregon. But around 1972, the Oregon

Lumber Company, then named United Building Center, closed.

Ogle Lumber bought the inventory, and Charles Mongan bought the land and building eventually to be the home of the Oregon Fire Protection District.

Patterson Lumber bought the Ogle Lumber Company around 1976.

Employees of Ogle Lumber over the years included Lawrence Hauck, Wanda Merrill, Seward Lewis, Albert Nordman, and Art Dietze, to name a few.

They both move people forward without wasting anything. The perfect day: riding a bike to the library. — Peter Golkin Friends of the Library Program A little over a year ago, Lucky and Louie, a father/ daughter team from Stillman Valley, were in California in a whirlwind of interviews, swim tests, wardrobe fittings, vaccinations, and physical evaluations, all to see if they would qualify to be in the reality TV show Get Out Alive with Bear Grylls, a survival specialist.

They had already passed through the first two levels of interviews; would they make it through this last round? Not only were they chosen to participate, they won the $500,000 prize for their positive attitude, their teamwork, and their outdoor skills.

So how does someone from Ogle County get on national TV? Why did they want to? What is involved in the application process? What do fish eyes taste like and did he really have to drink urine?

When they ate the partially incubated duck eggs, did they have to eat feathers?

When Louie crossed a steep crevasse on a Tyrolean traverse, did she ever look down? What’s it like to jump from a helicopter into a lake?

How did they make a fire in the rain? What’s life like after the show is over? Did all that money change them?

Volcanoes, asphalt all part of OES science fair Record number of students participate

By Vinde Wells Editor From volcanoes to asphalt to the food preferences of dogs and humans, Oregon Elementary students definitely have done their homework.

A record 142 students in grades K-6 researched and presented more than 120 projects March 15 at the annual Science Fair March 15 held at the Blackhawk Center.

Teacher Pam Steele, who organizes the event, was enthusiastic. “It’s absolutely the biggest one we’ve ever had. It’s fantastic,� she said Saturday. “More of the younger kids are participating this year. We have 50 in grades K-3.�

Fifth grader Ella Martin explained her very timely project — “What’s the Bump in the Road� — to judges Emily Corbin and Jordan Mingus, both Oregon High School students.

In her display, Ella showed three “pucks� of asphalt that she used to determine how cold temperatures and the freeze-thaw cycle affect the road-paving material.

She used one puck — a round molded piece of asphalt about two inches thick — as a control for her research, leaving it at room

temperature.

The second puck went into the freezer once for an extended period of time, while the third went in and out of the freezer for several short periods of time.

The third puck showed the most breakage. “I learned that freeze thaw elements do affect asphalt — hence the bumps [in the roads],� Ella said.

Students were required to have a display and written explanation of their projects.

The written portion had to include their hypothesis, their procedures, and their results.

Before the fair was open to the public, each project was evaluated by high school students who served as judges.

Across the room, fifth graders Taylor Sheely and Sydney Harms had discovered that Sydney’s dog Henry apparently has a hankering for blueberries.

In their project “Beggars Being Choosers,� the two gave a hungry Henry a choice of 10 foods including things like blueberry muffins, blueberry yogurt, ham and cheese, carrots, and of course, dog food and treats.

Henry’s top choice was the blueberry muffins, followed by ham and cheese, and blueberry yogurt.

The girls were a little surprised at their results. “We thought the ham and

cheese would be his favorite,�

Sydney said.

Henry, by the way, turned up his nose at his vegetables, totally bypassing the carrots.

In “The Amazing M&M Survey,� fourth graders Allison Sheely and Faith Morquardt studied the candy preferences of their classmates and teachers, specifically which flavor of M&Ms they like best.

Mint proved to be a top choice, but the girls also learned how to do a survey.

They put questionnaires for teachers in their mailboxes at school and asked classmates to fill out a questionnaire and drop it in a box in the classroom.

They found that the drop box got the most replies. “We learned what kind of surveys work better,� Allison OES fourth graders Allison Sheely and Faith Marquardt pose March 15 with their said.

many electronic devices from landfills so that these valuable materials may be recycled and their hazardous components kept out of landfills.

Since November 2013, the department has been working with the Byron Forest Preserve District and Universal Recycling Technologies (URT) to provide two drop off locations so that electronic device recycling is more convenient for Ogle County residents.

The OCSWMD maintains two drop off containers for residential electronics.

One is located at the Solid Waste Office parking lot at 909 Pines Rd., Oregon, open weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and on the last Saturday of each month from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The other is at the Byron Forest Preserve District Stone Quarry parking lot, located at 6845 N. German Church Rd., Byron. It is open weekdays from 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on the first weekend of each month.

Both locations are closed after dark and on holidays.

In addition to these recycling options, a countywide event is planned for residential electronics for early May. The date is still to be determined but check with the OCSWMD website or the office for updated information.

Items accepted are adding machines, answering machines, cables and cable receivers, calculators, cameras and camcorders, CB’s/two-way radio, CD ROM drives, cellphones/

telephones, computers and laptops.

Additional items are copiers/fax/scanners, digital clocks, digital converter boxes, digital music players, digital video disc recorders, discs, CDs, electronic mice, floppy disk drives, hard drives/zip drives, intercom systems, joysticks/game controls, and keyboards.

Microwaves, modems, monitors, pagers, palm organizers/hand held games, portable radios/CD players, postage machines, printers, projectors, routers, satellite receivers, servers, and shredders will also be accepted.

Other recyclable items are software, stereo equipment, speakers/receivers, switch boxes, tablets/iPads/iPods/ PDAs, tape recorders, TVs/projection TVs, typewriters/word processors, UPS (battery backups), VCR/ DVD/laser disc players, and – St. Paul, Minn. on Dec. 20 video game players. with a bachelor of science in To make this program marketing. work, it is important to follow Rozanas is a 2010 graduate these instructions: of Faith Christian School.

waste into the container than what is listed above.

Only residentiallygenerated electronic items are accepted. No business electronics are allowed.

Businesses may contact OCSWMD at 815-732-4020 for other options.

Remove any personal information on hard drives to protect privacy.

Take electronics to the drop-off site only during open hours.

Unload and stack items carefully in container. No help is available at the site.

Do not leave items outside of the container.

Do not take any items that have already been dropped off. Once items have been placed in container they become the property of URT. Residents should use the site at their own risk. The sponsors are not responsible for injuries or stolen items.

The OCSWMD recommends residents clean the hard drive in computers and other memory devices being recycled to protect privacy and data.

It is the duty of the user of the recycling program to ensure data erasure.

The OCSWMD or the Byron Forest Preserve District assumes no responsibility to protect electronic data remaining in any electronics deposited in the containers.

Nonetheless, once received

by URT, all hard drives will either be wiped clean using a secure three step process, or they will be shredded and destroyed prior to recycling.

As a certified e-Stewards recycler, URT adheres to the strictest security and environmental guidelines for recycling and downstream accountability.

This pilot program will supplement the special electronics recycling events held in Lee and Ogle Counties each year.

For other electronic recycling options, contact the OCSWMD at 815-732-4020 or visit www.oglecounty.org

The 5th grade, 6th grade, junior high school and high school bands will all perform, both together and individually during the event.

the office, sewing, baking, gardening, running errands, and visiting with patients in their home, at the nursing home or the Serenity Home.

Oregon School Board approves $7.4 million in bonds

By Chris Johnson Reporter The final step to acquire the funds for $7.4 million to address Health Life Safety (HLS) work in the Oregon School District was approved Monday night.

The board unanimously approved a resolution to issue 20 year general obligation school bonds for the purpose of altering and reconstructing school buildings and purchasing and installing equipment for fire prevention and safety, energy conservation, and school security purposes.

HLS projects are required by law to be completed and the school board can authorize raising the tax levy to pay for them without a public referendum.

One large portion of this project will add geothermal heating and cooling at the schools.

Bob Bergland of Hutchinson, Shockey, Erley & Company presented the board with a document summarizing the bond sale. “We have locked in the rates,� said Bergland. “You received an A+ bond rating which is the median for a school.�

The highest rating would be a triple A and then four levels of double A. The school received the fifth highest investment grade out of 16. “We purchased bond insurance for $19,795 to guarantee $60,000 in savings,� said Bergland.

This insurance bumped the

bond rating to a level of AA which is two higher than the schools rating.

On the low estimate the district will save a net of $40,000 in interest over the 20 years.

The school approved $7,315,000 at a true interest cost of 4.04 percent and because the bonds were sold at a premium the proceeds to the district are $7,458,000.

Two local banks purchased some of the bonds.

Stillman Bank purchased all 500 of the 2023 maturity and FNB Rochelle purchased the 2024 maturity.

To pay for the bonds the district will need to increase the total tax levy for the next seven years to just over $1 million per year from the current $731,000 In 2021 the rate will reduce to about $800,000 per year through 2032.

Superintendent Tom Mahoney said earlier that the estimated cost to property owners will be 17 cents per $100 equalized assessed valuation (EAV), which means real estate taxes on a $100,000 home will increase by $56 per year.

In other business the board decided to not renew the contract of second year Oregon Elementary School teacher Betsie Swartz. “We never do these lightly,� said school board president Ed Smith.

Smith said the non-renewal of the contract is for reasons other than reductions in force.

Swartz, who teaches third grade, addressed the board during public comment.

“We purchased bond insurance for $19,795 to guarantee $60,000 in savings,� — Bob Bergland “I have grown so much,� said Swartz. “I was sad when I found out my contract will not be renewed.�

She said she disagreed with principal Ann Tilton’s evaluation which said Swartz was not fitting in. “My students have shown academic growth,� said Swartz. “At the start of the Piyear 72 percent were at

grade level and 84 percent by the second semester.�

She said she helped with the curriculum design team and worked to secure a grant for a summer reading program.

With Swartz not returning to the district next year the grant is unable to be used because it was for Swartz to use in the classroom.

Swartz said she saw a third grade teaching job posting in February for the district and the job was posted again last week. “It is not my choice to leave,� she said. “I am saddened come June, I will not be able to stand beside you.�

After the meeting Tilton addressed the decision to recommend not renewing Swartz’s contract. “We do evaluations yearly for all staff,� said Tilton. “It is not an easy decision to not renew a contract. It is a gut wrenching decision.�

On March 1, Carefree 4-H members toured Woods.

The 4-H group was led

by Mark Eden, Woods Supervisor, and Ivan Maas, Woods Quality Inspector, who showed us how Woods

mowers were made by cutting metal with lasers and then the metal pieces were put on welders.

We were also shown how the mowers were fixed, painted, and dried. Then we saw where they were stored before someone bought

them.

In the process of the tour we saw the different parts of the mower and how each piece is used to create a mower.

We also saw where the Woods semi-trucks come in and we saw how they were

packed.

Safety goggles were included and required throughout the tour.

Everyone that came had a very good time and learned a lot during this experience.

Fun Fact: Woods has been around for 68 years!

Penny Carnival results announced The Ogle County 4-H Federation hosted its annual 4-H Penny Carnival at the Oregon Coliseum on March 8.

Reality show winners will talk about experience A little over a year ago, Lucky and Louie Larson, a father and daughter team from Stillman Valley, were in California in a whirlwind of interviews, swim tests, wardrobe fittings, vaccinations, and physical evaluations, all to see if they would qualify to be in the reality TV show â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get Out Aliveâ&#x20AC;? with Bear Grylls, a survival specialist.

They had already passed through the first two levels of interviews; would they make it through this last round?

Not only were they chosen to participate, they won the $500,000 prize for their positive attitude, their

teamwork, and their outdoor skills.

So how does someone from Ogle County get on national TV? Why did they want to?

What is involved in the application process?

What do fish eyes taste like and did he really have to drink urine?

When they ate the partially incubated duck eggs, did they have to eat feathers?

When Louie crossed a steep crevasse on a Tyrolean traverse, did she ever look down?

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it like to jump from a helicopter into a lake? How did they make a fire in the rain?

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life like after the show is over? Did all that money change them?

Lucky and Louie will be explaining all this and more, depending on questions from the audience, at a Friends of the Oregon Library program on Thursday, March 27 at 7 p.m. at the United Methodist Church, Oregon.

Join them for a presentation on the making of a reality TV show, life in a survival â&#x20AC;&#x153;game,â&#x20AC;? and post-show expectations and requirements.

The program is free and refreshments will be served.

Oregon residents will have new electric supplier

By Vinde Wells Editor Oregon residents and small businesses will have a different electricity supplier later this year.

The city council approved a three-year contract Tuesday with Constellation, one of four firms who submitted bids.

Mike Mudge from Rock River Energy, Oregon, told the city council that Direct Energy, the current supplier, no longer submits bids for municipal aggregation because the cost of electricity is on the increase.

Mudge said the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s twoyear contract with Direct Energy will expire at the end of July.

Late in 2011, Oregon voters and the council approved municipal aggregation, a measure that allows the city to purchase electricity as an aggregate, and therefore secure lower rates for residents and small businesses.

Prior to that, ComEd was the only available supplier.

Over the 20 months the city has offered municipal aggregation, Mudge said Oregon residents and small businesses have saved a total of $397,800 over what they would have spent with ComEd as their supplier.

However, he said, the difference will not be as great in the future, mainly because of the increase in the price of natural gas, which is used to

Of the four bidders, Constellation offered the lowest price â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 6.78 cents per kilowatt hour.

Under the current plan, the cost is 4.789 cents. produce some electricity.

Of the four bidders, Constellation offered the lowest price â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 6.78 cents per kilowatt hour. Under the current plan, the cost is 4.789 cents.

Mudge said he does not expect to see prices get that low again for some time.

Still, he said, the estimated savings per household will be $5 to $7 per month per household compared to ComEdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s projected price.

ComEd is currently charging 6.02 cents per kilowatt hour, but Mudge said the price is expected to

go approximately a cent and a half higher in the next few months.

Commissioner Ken Williams favored the three-year contract with Constellation to secure the best price.

However, Commissioner Pat Wiesner spoke in support of a one-year contract with Constellation even though

the cost would be $7.12 per kilowatt hour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The price could come down,â&#x20AC;? he said.

After discussion, the council voted unanimously to take the three-year contract Mudge said that should ComEdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prices dip lower than Constellationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the city can opt out of the contract at any time without paying a penalty.

Individuals can also opt out of the city plan and buy their electricity from ComEd or another supplier. In any

case, ComEd will still be the delivery company and do the billing.

In another matter, Commissioner Tom Izer said the Street Department will be filling potholes and sweeping streets in the near future.

He said gravel left behind in the terraces by snowplows can be raked into the streets for the street sweeper to clean up.

The council also approved sewer cleaning and televising at a cost not to exceed $300,000.

Returning medalists should lead 2014 Lady Hawks

By Andy Colbert Reporter With two returning state medalists, the Oregon girls track and field team seems poised for even greater things this season.

However, any hopes of chasing a team state trophy is not to be.

“With the talent in this school, we could have been state contenders,” Oregon coach Lynn Ahlgrim said.

“It’s always a disappointment when kids don’t come out and our numbers are low.”

Ahlgrim will have 27 athletes to work with, with a decent mix in each class.

“We have a good crew,” Ahlgrim said. “They’ll do 3-4 events and be tired after a meet.”

Shannon Cullen will just be doing two events, but in one of those, she is currently ranked No. 1 in the state.

At the first indoor meet of the year, the Sterling Gold Medal Classic, Cullen threw the shot put 39-feet-2 inches.

That puts her over a foot ahead of anyone in Class 1A, in the unofficial dyestat.com rankings.

Last year, Cullen finished third in 1A with an effort of 38-10 at the IHSA meet.

The two girls that finished ahead of her have graduated, making Cullen the pre-season favorite in the event.

“I’m looking forward to continue watching her excel in the shot put,” Ahlgrim said. “We’re fortunate in having Doug (Engle) work with her.”

Besides the shot put, Cullen is adding the discus to her repertoire and could be a potential state qualifier in that event.

Cydney Long joined Cullen as a third-place finisher downstate, giving the Lady Hawks their highest cumulative point total (14) in recent memory. Long qualified in four events and ran 15.20 in the 100-meter hurdles for the third-place state medal.

“Cydney’s overcoming injuries (leg muscle), but she’ll be ready for the outdoors,” Ahlgrim said.

Long anchors the relays and runs the 100 and 200 meters.

Ahlgrim aptly describes her as a ‘huge asset’.

“Both Shannon and

Cydney should be among the top in the state again,” Ahlgrim said. “It’s something for the lower classes to look to.”

She still looking for a state medal, but Sarah Lauer comes into here junior year as a 2-time state qualifier in the triple jump. Another top jumper will be senior Erica Grace.

Another strength of Oregon over the years has been the relays. Over the past three years, the Lady Hawks have qualified 11 out of 12 relays downstate.

Besides sisters Cydney and Hailey Long (also a hurdler) and their cousin Whitney Long, McKenzie Skoumal, Bryanna Horn, McKaylee Beeter and Grace will all vie for spots in those relays.

“I’m also looking forward to seeing what freshmen Kelsey Handschuh, Ellen Reckamp and Allyse Ketter can do,” Ahlgrim said.

As a senior and part of an extremely talented freshmen group, Beeter is out after a 2-year absence and looks forward to being a part of the relays.

Horn, another senior, is

hoping to get past asthma problems, which plagued her in cross-country. Senior Kelci Foss, will be the long-distance specialist as a 2-miler.

“Even though we don’t have big numbers, we have

top sectional returner.

In team competition, Oregon had taken second the last three years, each time to Byron.

“Our goal is to stay healthy and injury free and get girls to state,” Ahlgrim said.

Eighth grade Eagles second in tourney

Wilken to play v-ball at Sauk Jordan Wilken, a senior at Oregon High School, signed a letter of intent on March 13 to play volleyball at Sauk Valley Community College next fall.

“The team saw Jordan as an excellent leader, and voted her as one of the captains this past season,” said Oregon volleyball coach Faith Watson. “Jordan always came to practice ready to work and make her team better. She set a great example for all

depth,” added Ahlgrim. “In the throws, Doug sees a lot in Karissa Corbin and Caroline Stephens.”

Junior Kelsey Pudlas return for her third year pole vaulting, and has a solid chance to go downstate as the

of the future Lady Hawk Volleyball players that will come through the program by demonstrating hard work, determination, and passion for the sport. Her “go for everything” mindset

will be an asset to the Sauk Valley program, as will her leadership and caring nature for her teammates.”

9-1 record which included a regional championship, and an appearance in the sectional championship game where they fell to eventual Last fall, Wilken helped state champion Elmhust lead the Lady Hawks to a 29- Immaculate Conception.

The eighth grade Eagles of David L. Rahn Junior High concluded their season by participating in the Route 72 Conference tournament this past week.

Other conference schools include: Ashton-Franklin Center, Byron, Forreston, Meridian, Pecatonica, Polo and Winnebago.

The Eagles entered the tournament as the #2 seed of the big schools. Their first round opponent was Pecatonica.

The game began with DLR

scoring almost all their first quarter points from the charity strike. Despite eleven free throw attempts, the Eagles trailed after the first quarter, 7-8. DLR pulled ahead in the second quarter, connecting both from the field and from the line. The Eagles led at the break, 21-12.

In a very physical contest, the Eagles outscored the Indians in the second half, 22-13 to win the game, 4325.

Bailey Montavon paced Turn to B2

Polo’s AD Terry Jenkins reflects on past 40 years Last week the athletic directors from the three schools in our coverage were interviewed. This week we are featuring Polo’s Athletic Director Terry Jenkins.

By Andy Colbert Reporter On the wall of Terry Jenkins’ office is a framed photo of him and Denny Donahue of Oregon crossing the finish line on Polo’s old cinder track.

More than 40 years later, Jenkins is still at Polo as athletic director.

“When I was in school, you didn’t know about what another school’s enrollment was,” said Jenkins, who competed at Polo before most sports went to multiple

classes. “It didn’t matter. Now, everybody knows everybody else’s enrollment.”

Polo has 201 students, substantially less than what Polo had in the early 70s when Jenkins was in school.

“I miss the old Mid Northern. That was the best conference,” said the 1973 grad.

Still, Jenkins is happy to be in the Northwest Upstate conference.

“Right now, the NUIC is as stable as its ever been,” said Jenkins, the dean of NUIC ADs. “The coaches from the other teams are good to us, even when we have bad teams.

They don’t run the score up.”

With such a small enrollment, Jenkins realizes certain sports can run in cycles.

“Look at football. You can go 2-7 and 1-8 and then go 7-2, depending on classes,” Jenkins said.

Polo has been granted a reprieve of sorts by dropping down to the lower-enrollment side of the conference in football, another factor in the won-loss record. It is hoped that this combined with a strong sophomore class will get the Marcos back in the playoffs for the first time in five years.

One sport that Polo has been on a roll lately has been basketball.

After two straight 20-win seasons (the benchmark for success in high school), the Marcos are poised for a couple more 20-win years.

Jenkins is also proud of the

venue the team plays in.

“Our gym is as nice as any around,” Jenkins said, pointing out many improvements made by the Booster Club.

Polo still gets a crowd for its sporting events, but there has been a drop off, similar to what many other schools are experiencing.

“You don’t see as many people as you used to,” Jenkins said. “They can’t afford it as much. Another reason is that we have things scheduled on so many nights. It used to be only a game on Tuesday and Friday or Saturday.”

As far as participation, Jenkins is happy with what he sees at Polo.

“With so many more things for kids to do, we’re pretty lucky with that,” he said. “One

advantage we have is we don’t cut anyone from a team. And, it’s cheap for parents. It’s $20 for the first two sports and $10 for the third, with a cap of $100 per family.”

In terms of being competitive, Polo has remained solidly in the mix with most schools, though some sports have struggled more than others.

“Everybody wants to be a champ. I like to think we’re pretty competitive most of the time,” Jenkins said. “We have nice kids at Polo.”

Polo continues to co-op with Forreston in wrestling, track, baseball and softball and according to Jenkins, the arrangement continues to work out well. Polo are the host schools for wrestling and

track, with Forreston handling baseball and softball.

One difficulty in the prep sporting arena that Jenkins see is club and AAU sports.

“That hurts high school sports more than anything,” Jenkins said. “Let kids be in three sports. That makes them better athletes. At Polo, club sports really haven’t interfered. I don’t even know who those people are that run them.”

Another concern for Jenkins is how big football has become and how it has been the driving force in conference re-alignments.

“In the past 40 years, the football playoffs have changed high school sports. That and the different class systems,” Jenkins said.

Sports Column Wrestling successes at lower weights

By Andy Colbert Reporter This week, we’ll take a short break from the basketball beat and discuss one of my favorite sports wrestling. Basketball talk, specifically what is wrong with the state tournament, will return next week.

As expected, senior Josh Alber of Dakota finished his season undefeated. By doing so, he became the first wrestler in the state ever to have an unblemished (no ties or losses) career record.

A few weeks back, this

column showcased Alber’s win over another 4-time state champ, Jered Cortez of 3A Glenbard North. At the time, Cortez was ranked No. 1 in the nation at 132 pounds.

Of the 15 years of covering Class A (1A) wrestling, it was the most impressive achievement I’ve witnessed.

Some have claimed that the 182-0 Alber needs to be considered as the best wrestler ever in Illinois, and not just only in 1A either.

Besides taking on Cortez at the Dvorak Invite, Alber beat another 4-time champ last year at the Dvorak in Jimmy Jiminez of Aurora Marion, also a 3A school.

Before anointing Alber is the best ever, there is one major flaw that needs to be addressed. And, this flaw

applies not just to Alber, but nearly all of the 4-time champs in Illinois.

Of these 14 wrestlers, they are predominantly from the lower weight classes (103145 pounds). Of the 56 cumulative titles, 87 percent came at 145 pounds or lower.

The other seven titles of the 4-timers came at weights ranging from 152 to 171.

Mathematical randomness would find a problem with the data being highly skewed to the lower end of the scale.

There should have been equal disbursement throughout all the weights, from 103 to 285 pounds.

Alber fit the low weight profile, starting at 103 as a freshman and eventually finishing at a 132-pound senior. Jiminez ended as a

126-pounder and Cortez at 132. Another local great, Mike Mena of Sterling Newman, went from 112 to 125.

So, why aren’t there any upper-weight 4-time state champs?

That question is exactly why there is a scientific flaw in the argument that Alber is the best wrestler ever.

Lower-weight wrestlers have an unfair advantage over the kids at the heavier weights. Often, they are wrestling underclassmen, which is less competitive than what is found at the higher weights.

Hypothetically, if Alber, Jiminez or Cortez came into high school at say, 160-pounders, it would be extremely unlikely they

would have been 4-time champs, let alone finish off with undefeated careers.

If you are a freshman or sophomore attempting to grapple with stronger, more mature athletes, your chances to win go down substantially compared to competing with younger kids at the lower weights.

These upper weight wrestlers kind of get the short end of the deal when it comes to talking about the best ever in the state because their won-loss or state-title records aren’t as good.

So, your Honor, for arguments on who is the best wrestler in the state to have any merit, they can not be based primarily on one’s final record due to the misleading nature of competing at the

Andy Colbert

lower weights.

Additionally, claims of discrimination could likely be found on behalf of those in the upper weights because of said nature.

Underclassmen key to OHS track season success Seniors have potential to lead 2014 Hawks

By Andy Colbert Reporter The Oregon boys track team ended its 2014 season in fine fashion with the program’s 16 sectional title in 21 years and an impressive fourth-place finish at the IHSA Class 1A meet.

And, for only the second time in school history, all four relays medaled.

That performance, which included a statechampionship in the 1,600-meter relay (3:23), helped earn the Hawks a No. 2 overall relay-ranking in 1A by dyestate.com, behind Sterling Newman.

Oregon may not reach the same lofty status in the relays, but Oregon coach Jim Spratt has a real gem in

senior Pierce Dhaese, who ran on the winning 1,600 relay with graduated seniors Tommy McCormick and Garrett Newman.

Dhaese was also on the 800-relay, which took seventh. He was also the BNC high jump champ as a sophomore.

“Pierce has the potential to run in the sub-50s in the 400,” Spratt said. “He should contend for a top medal in that event.”

Dhaese is capable of running on any of the four relays. With returning state medalist Austin Burkhart and Adam Weller back from the fourth-place 3,200 relay, Dhaese may even be used there.

“Austin is a great kid and should have a great year,” Spratt said. “He’s had shin splint problems before, but is okay.”

Spratt sees Weller as having the potential to run under two minutes in the 800.

As a freshman, Weller also

Doug Engle replaces Trent Sellers as the throwing coach and will have senior Troy Pudlas as a potential state-qualifier.

Juniors David Labash and Marsall McMeeken will also help out in the shot put and discus.

“Pudlas could be 140 to 150 feet in the discus,” Spratt said.

competed downstate in the 3,200 relay.

“Jordan Rogers, a sophomore, could be the missing link in the 3,200 relay,” Spratt said.

Another returning relay medalist is senior Ashton Rutherford. Rutherford ran lead-off leg on the sixth-place 400 relay and has been one of the top pole vaulters in 1A the past two years.

“Ashton’s on track for 14 feet in the vault and maybe higher,” Spratt said. “I expect him to be on the medal stand at Charleston.”

The 1A pole vault is exceedingly competitive this year with three vaulters over 15-6 already. Rutherford enters the season with the seventh-best vault from 2013.

Senior Josh Drew is expected to be a key contributor on the relays and perhaps be the main 100 and 200-meter runner. Another senior, Ian Starkey returns for his fourth year as a pole vaulter.

year, with the majority being freshmen and sophomores.

“Our numbers our down from what we’re used to. The underclassmen are going to have to contribute for us,” Spratt said. “Jarrick Orsted is a good athlete and we’ll find a spot for him. Of the freshmen group, Alex Sitze, Jacob Cox, Devin DeHaan, Conner Hopkins, Caleb Mennen and Andrew Newman are looking good. I’m sure there be others too.”

Another newcomer Spratt is high on is junior Eli Vogeler.

For the second year in a row, Oregon will be the host of a 1A sectional. Another prestigious meet with a

date change will be the Art Carlson Hawk Classic.

Instead of being on Saturday, as it had been since its inception, the meet moves to Friday night, May 2.

“We were running into a lot of conflicts with schools that had proms on Saturday,” Spratt said. “Plus, I’m looking forward to running under the lights.”

The Hawk Classic will feature five (Sterling Newman, Erie-Prophetstown, Oregon, Le-Win, Rockford Lutheran) of the top six finishers from the 1A state meet, along with perennial power Winnebago, who is in 2A.

Rutherford headed to St. Ambrose University Ashton Rutherford, a senior at Oregon High School, signed a letter of intent March 21 to attend St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa as a member of the track & field team next season.

At OHS, Rutherford has been a key member of the Hawks track program since his freshman year as a pole vaulter, lead runner in the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relays, and hurdler.

He was a state medalist in Oregon’s 4 x 100 and 4 x

200 relays in 2013 and a 13’6 pole vaulter.

“Ashton looks to qualify in possibly four events in 2014 as pole vault, 300 hurdles and the sprint relays are all within his reach, said Oregon track coach Jim Spratt. “Ashton has been a team leader by example all 4 years at Oregon. Ashton’s personality fits perfectly with what we promote in Oregon track. Hard work, dedication, team work and the ability to find fun in all the hardest challenges.”

DLR eighth graders finish in second place From B1 DLR with 18 points. Jessica Hunt added seven. Meredith Gelander and Elyse Cothran both had four while Aleah Wight and Gylian Finch added three apiece. Addison Kitzmiller sank a bucket and Lani Morris and Kyla Suter both had a free throw.

The Eagles’ semi-final round opponent was the A-FC Raiders.

A-FC had an outstanding post player for the Eagle’s defense to contend with.

Despite their size advantage, the Eagles led after one quarter, 11-8.

The game remained close at the half, 21-18. DLR looked in control after three quarters, 28-24.

In the final quarter of play, the Raiders came charging back. After several turnovers and missed shots, the game was tied at 36 with 9.9 seconds to play.

The Eagles ran the play drawn up during their time out. Hunt looked to have an open shot but missed.

Montavon rebounded the ball and missed her put back.

With time expiring, Gelander grabbed the board

and put in the winning bucket and the Eagles won, 38-36.

Gelander led the team with 11 points and Montavon added eight. Kitzmilller, Wight and Finch each added five while Cothran and Hunt scored a basket.

On March 13, the Eagles were in the championship game against Winnebago.

The enormous pink home crowd had the Eagles nervous and jittery the entire first half.

The Indians took advantage of DLR’s miscues and held a 17-7 halftime lead.

The Eagles started a comeback late in the third quarter. They caused a few Indian turnovers to narrow the gap. But in the end, Winnebago’s big post player dominated the second half as the Eagles fell short, 33-30.

Finch and Montavon had eight points each. Kitzmiller and Wight each sank four points while Gelander and Hunt had three each.

The Eagles end their season with an overall record of 198. They won the DLR Invite, were first in the Reserve Shoot-Out and placed second in the Route 72 Conference tournament.
