Huntley oversees her final election

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com After the polls closed there was a small calm before the storm, and it was not the heavy rain passing through Ogle County March 15.

Ogle County Clerk Rebecca Huntley was overseeing her final election and her staff was in the courthouse basement waiting for ballot boxes to be returned.

Once the first box arrived, there would be no breaks for election workers because this would be the busiest two hours.

At 7:48 p.m, the first box arrived.

“Lafayette Township,” Beth Lancaste, an election judge from Ashton said as she carried the box into the courthouse. “Seventy-five voters turned out. That is 65 percent.”

“That’s awesome,” Huntley said. “You must have been

Anonymous donor gives $15,000 to HOO effort

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Congratulations and hugs were abundant last Friday afternoon when Laura Cook was sworn in as Ogle County Clerk & Recorder.

About 30 county officials, family members, and friends crowded into Memorial Hall on the third floor of the Ogle County Courthouse March 18 to watch Cook take the oath of office from Judge John B. (Ben) Roe. One of those attending the brief ceremony was retiring county clerk Rebecca Huntley. Last Friday was her last day on the job.

“Thanks, Becky, for being such a great role model,” Cook said, her voice breaking with emotion. “I’ve got big shoes to fill.”

“You’re going to do a great job,” Huntley replied.

Cook, 50, who has served as chief deputy clerk since 1998, won the Republican Party nomination in the March 15 primary election for to fill the remaining two years of Huntley’s four-year term.

She received 5,341 votes to defeat deputy clerk Tiffany O’Brien who earned 4,600 votes and Jeff Hallock, a retired banker, who gained 699 votes.

In the wake of her victory, on March 16 the Ogle County Board appointed Cook to fill Huntley’s post until after the Nov. 8 general election.

So far, Cook is running unopposed for the post in the fall election.

Huntley, 55, who has served in the post for 18 years, announced her resignation last August.

The county board also recognized Huntley March 16 for her decades of service to the county.

She began her career in public service by serving on the county board for five years, and then was the first victim witness advocate for the Ogle County State’s Attorney’s office for six years.

The Oregon School Board cut one teacher, and accepted the resignations of two more along with two principals at Monday night’s board meeting.

None of the five will be replaced due to dwindling

state funding, Superintendent Tom Mahoney said Tuesday.

The contract of fourth grade teacher Lyn Hunter was not renewed.

Elementary principal Ann Tilton and high school assistant principal Mike Boyer both tendered their resignations, as did OHS social studies teacher Jesse Glim and OHS Special Education teacher Katherine Petrusa.

Boyer was reassigned as an OHS social studies teacher.

In addition, OHS foods teacher Lynn Kaufman and

Just when Hands On Oregon (HOO) was running short on funds, an anonymous donor came through with a sizable contribution.

HOO Board member Rick Ryland said Monday that just under $100 remained in the fund earmarked for making repairs to Conover Square.

However, when he checked the bank balance another $15,000 was there.

“I said ‘where did that come from?’” Ryland said with a smile.

He soon learned it had come from a donor who wishes to remain unnamed.

HOO was formed last fall as a not-for-profit with the purpose of enriching the lives of Oregon citizens through local caring and creating excitement through volunteerism.

Ryland and fellow board member Jeff Hallock met with Conover owner Lou Vander Wyst and decided to make Conover Square the organization’s first project.

HOO began helping Conover owner Lou Vander Wyst last December with shoring up the sagging south side of the former piano factory on the bank of the Rock River.

Once finished, a mural, called Love Our Flag, will be placed on the outside of the

“Because the contribution to Love Our Flag is so generous and so appreciated we will recognize the donor by giving the diamond space of 48 x 48 inches on the wall with the name Anonymous Donor, Rick Ryland, Hands On Oregon member wall with an American flag painted on the eastern third, a large vertical sun dial in the middle, and on the west end a large heart with the word Oregon in capital letters underneath.

The west part of the wall will also be a place for donors to be recognized for helping to preserve Conover Square.

Their names and logos will be displayed on spaces reflecting the amount of their donations.

The anonymous donor will get a proportionately large space.

“Because the contribution to Love Our Flag is so generous and so appreciated we will recognize the donor by giving the diamond space of 48 x 48 inches on the wall with the name Anonymous Donor,” Ryland said.

HOO has partnered

with the Blackhawk Hills Regional Council to use its 501c3 (not-for-profit) credentials while working to get their own.

Ryland said in December that he hoped to raise $100,000 through donations to finish the wall.

The HOO board has been seeking volunteer labor as well as monetary donations.

That need also got a response when Oregon resident Lee Hadick, who was in Kazakhstan, saw the HOO website and offered not only a donation but also his skill.

Two sections of the Conover Square wall are completed and a third is well underway.

The wall has 36 sections, each roughly 24 x 12 inches.

“We have spent $1,350.49 thus far and have logged 240 hours of donated time,” Ryland said.

Volunteers generally work on the project on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Call Ryland at 815-4405171 to volunteer.

To contribute to Hands on Oregon, make checks payable to Blackhawk Hills Regional Council, and on the memo line write Hands On Oregon.

Checks can be mailed to Hands on Oregon, PO Box 244, Oregon IL 61061.

With the first percent reporting were 51 more to arrive before the night was through.

The precincts are in 34 All contributions are tax buildings throughout the deductible. county.

Huntley said she thinks having fewer voting locations throughout the county is a trend for the future.

Voting centers are the way to go because it is hard to get election judges,” she said.

“I plan on being an election judge.”

Each voting machine needs to be calibrated to ensure the accuracy with counting the paper ballots.

Huntley said each machine has a stack of ballots that needs to be run through it and the results are verified.

At that point the machine can be sent to the precincts.

This process is time Hands On Oregon (HOO) recently received a anonymous donation of $15,000 for its consuming but needs to project at Conover Square.

Oregon leaders attend IIRA Conference in Springfield Local business, community leaders, and volunteers recently attended the Illinois Institute of Rural Affairs Conferences in Springfield.

“Workshops, seminars and presentations reinforced for the group attending that Oregon has everything it needs to grow into and succeed in the creative culture that is evolving. Our local and natural resources i.e.: the

Rock River, state and local park systems, community art and history, to name a few, that we have developed and protected as a community are significant attributes and attractors,” said Debbie Dickson, Oregon Chamber Executive Director.

“It was a complete affirmation that through the efforts of volunteerism and partnerships, we have achieved and accomplished

many good things over the past few years.

Interestingly, the timing on this conference, coincides most recently with the renewed vision of our city, the Chamber, and the newly formed organization Oregon Together.

We have so much to offer.

Collectively we believe that ‘If you want to go fast, go alone.

“If you want to go far, go together.’”

Clerk oversees her last election From A1 election. Once the candidates are approved for the ballot no changes are made, not even for candidates that drop out of the race, which is why presidential candidates remained on the ballot during the primary.

What made the election night more stressful than normal was two election workers were unable to work.

Deputy Clerks Tiffany O’Brien and Laura Cook were candidates in the election and were legally prevented from assisting last week.

“Candidates can not do anything relating to the election at the clerk’s office,” said Huntley. “They both did a tremendous amount of work on election nights in the past.”

Overall the election counting went well and by 10 p.m. all the votes were counted and the election was finished.

The computer counting makes it easier to report the

results, but legally the paper ballots are still important.

Following the election, state law requires the paper ballots be saved for two years, Huntley said.

The only thing left for Huntley when she left the courthouse March 15 was to certify the election and attend a retirement party.

“Yesterday was bittersweet, but we had a great election and everything went well,” she said during the March 16 party. “It feels wonderful to leave on a good foot. I have no doubt I am leaving it in capable hands.”

Cook received the Republican nomination for County Clerk and was appointed by the Ogle County Board to fill the vacancy left with Huntley’s retirement.

“I decided doing the election this way was the best way to leave the office,” said Huntley.

She announced her retirement plans early enough so candidates could file for the primary election

Serving the Oregon area since 1851 The Oregon Republican Reporter is published weekly by Ogle County Newspapers, a division of the B.F. Shaw Printing Co. The Oregon Republican Reporter was founded in 1851 as the Ogle County Reporter. In 1889, the Ogle County Republican, a competing newspaper, was started. In 1890, the Republican was sold to Ziba Landers. Upon his death in 1939, the newspaper was assumed by his son, Ernest D. In March 1951, Paul F. Behan, owner of the Reporter, and E.D. Landers and his son E.G. (Tim) Landers united the newspapers into the Republican Reporter. Ernest D. Landers died in 1966, and E.G. and Behan became partners. Eventually, E.G. Landers assumed sole ownership, and in 1985 he sold the newspaper to B.F. Shaw Printing of Dixon, publisher of the Sauk Valley Newspapers.

and allow the voters the opportunity to select their next clerk.

Huntley reflected back on her final election.

“I was looking out the window and thinking about when I would no longer be doing this job,” she said. “I had fun doing this job and it has been a great job.”

She said every election has small glitches that require quick thinking to ensure it runs smooth.

March 15 was no exception.

“We had two of the fire station precincts locked at 5:15 a.m. when the judges arrived,” said Huntley. “ They got there and we opened on time.”

The two precincts were Marion precinct at the Stillman Valley Fire Station and the Flagg township at the Flagg Center station.

“It was the year of the fire stations,” Huntley joked. “It was nerve-wracking because I always overreact on election day.”

concealed her embezzlement by changing the balances on the bank’s US Bank account statements by manually cutting and pasting false account balances on the statements, the press release said. The deposits of the bank were insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Bergstrom was indicted Oct. 20 in federal court in Rockford, and entered a not guilty plea during her arraignment two days later.

A press release from federal authorities last October said she had since repaid First State Bank. The bank has branches in Polo, Shannon, and Lake Carroll.

She remains free on her own recognizance.

Bergstrom was hired as manager of the Polo City Pool last June, but because the job is seasonal she does not currently work for the city.

According to its agenda, the Polo Park Board was planning to consider hiring its pool staff for the summer at its March 23 meeting.

A Polo woman pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court to embezzling $59,560.88 from First State Bank Shannon-Polo.

Kayla C. Bergstrom, 46, entered her plea before U.S. District Judge Frederick J. Kapala in federal court in Rockford.

Sentencing is set for June 28 at 9 a.m. before U.S. District Judge Philip G. Reinhard.

Bergstrom faces a maximum sentence of 30 years’ imprisonment, a term of supervised release of up to five years following imprisonment, and a fine of up to $1 million.

According to the plea agreement, Bergstrom, who was first vice-president of First State Bank, had the highest security level assigned in the bank’s software program which controlled all customer bank accounts, the bank’s general ledger accounts,

adding new accounts, and the maintenance of all bank accounts.

According to a press release from Zachary T. Fardon, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, Bergstrom’s responsibilities included reconciling all of the bank’s correspondent accounts including the bank’s correspondent account with US Bank.

“Bergstrom stated in the plea agreement that between Feb. 23, 2010 and Feb. 3, 2014, she embezzled a total of $59,560.88 from First State Bank by creating 34 separate cash advance tickets for the bank’s correspondent account at US Bank and crediting the amounts of cash advance tickets to her personal account and the business account for her husband’s automobile repair business,” the press release said.

Her husband Mark Bergstrom owns and operates Bergy’s Automotive, Polo.

Reagan celebrated 73rd birthday back in Dixon Editor’s note: Otto Dick, Oregon, has researched the people, places, and events important in Oregon’s history for the Ogle County Historical Society. He is interrupting a series of articles on Ogle County history to write about former U.S President Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy, who died March 6.

By Otto Dick During his first term in office President Ronald Reagan attended a birthday party in Dixon on Feb. 6, 1984.

I remember it was extremely cold.

The Student Council was asked to prepare the high school building and help with the parade.

For two weeks the council worked each night and weekends in my classroom with two advance young attorneys and the Secret Service.

We generally ate our evening meals in the classroom and worked until midnight.

The Student Council was responsible for decorating the gym which consisted of several enlarged photos of the President when he lived in Dixon, emptying the lockers so they could be sealed by the Secret Service, constructing a balloon drop, setting up an area for the

press, arranging seating, etc.

Ray Zinnen, our Student Council President, was given the responsibility of releasing the balloons when signaled by the Secret Service.

Just a sidelight — after the President left the high school and while we were helping clean up the gym, we noticed the enlarged photos that hung from the ceiling were missing.

One of our janitors informed us that one of the Secret Service had taken them.

We later retrieved them at the motel where the Secret Service stayed.

Another incident occurred when a Student Council member was walking to the gymnasium with myself and a Secret Service Member, he made the mistake of saying he hoped no one would shoot the President.

He was informed sternly never to say that again or he would face consequences learning that this would not be tolerated.

I received a letter from Craig John, the young attorney, who worked with us on Feb. 21, 1984.

He worked for Gavin, Abel and Flanigan, Inc. a consulting firm working for the White House.

He starting out saying, “Now that the dust has settled in Dixon and the crazy people from the White

House are out of town, I’m sure that you all are happy to have things back to normal.

It was doubly refreshing to spend two weeks in a town where everyone was so nice and helpful.

Oh by the way, I have enclosed an article which appeared on Monday morning of the event, in the Los Angeles Times.

As you can see, you are a national celebrity!!!”

From the Los Angeles Times: One reporter on the scene in Dixon, Ill., noted: He wore a trench coat and packed a White House walkie-talkie.

He moved through the door and opened a bag.

He nodded.

Another man nodded back.

“OK, kids,” he said “We got the Magic Markers. Now you want to have about 60 Happy Birthday Ronnie signs.

“All right students, let’s get task oriented here,” said teacher Otto Dick.

The high school kids went to work on the posters. All the kids had promised to make 1,900.

“I’m not sure why I’m doing this,” one puzzled student said. “I just moved into this town. Ronald Reagan is coming to town for three hours.”

Today is his 73rd birthday and Dixon, where Reagan lived from ages 9 to 14, has planned a party that will

take the cake.

“We already got the Secret Service here,” one

student said, “I hope our neighborhood doesn’t get blown up or something.

In Dixon (pop. 16,000) the parade for Dutch Reagan begins at high noon.

“They are so appreciated and we enjoy having them with us in the home, at Angel Treasures, at The Shed, and working hands-on with patients in their homes.”

Volunteering for hospice can mean many different things.

Some volunteers work inside the home helping with meals, and laundry.

Some volunteers enjoy interacting with patients and some work at Angel Treasures.

Working hands-on with patients, helping in the gardens or kitchen, whatever anyone’s interests, Serenity can accommodate that.

“Some people are a little nervous about working with hospice,” Clark said.

“But after a volunteer trains and gets started, they never regret it.”

For information about volunteering, call Peg Richard at Serenity 815-7322499.

For those who have trained in the past and would like to get re-involved, give Clark a call at 815-732-2499.

Although the famous Russian Faberge’ eggs are widely recognized as the most beautiful on earth, all mothers know that their child’s decorated eggs are actually the most beautiful.

In anticipation of Easter, the staff at The Serenity Shed in downtown Oregon thought it was a great time to teach kids about the most famous eggs on earth.

During spring break, The Shed will host a Faberge’ Egg Workshop for kids.

Kids of all ages can stop by The Shed on Tuesday, March 29 from 1 to 4 p.m. to learn

the most famous is the Hen Egg made for the Russian Empress in 1885 by Peter Carl Faberge’.

He went on to make around 60 more eggs of which 43 survive.

The Kremlin in Russia houses the most eggs but there are also many of the eggs in American museums in locations such as Virginia, New York, Washington D.C., Baltimore, and Cleveland.

The Serenity Shed is located at 131 N. Third St. in downtown Oregon. For more information call Cathy Warren or Angie Theisen at 815-732-2499.

Expressions Art Sale helps the Sinnissippi Foundation The 12th Annual Expressions Art Sale and Reception, which benefits the Sinnissippi Foundation, will take place from Tuesday, April 5 through Friday, April 22 at The Next Picture Show, 113 W. First St., Dixon.

“This event is always fun and exciting,” says Expressions Art Sale and Reception Coordinator Andy Jackson.

“We have already received beautiful pieces of art as well as a huge variety of valuable and unique silent auction items. There is something for everyone at Expressions.

We have been fortunate that this event has grown each year in the past several years to match the increasing need for the foundation to raise funds to provide for the urgent needs of Sinnissippi Centers’ clients.”

In addition, Sauk Valley Bank has returned as cosponsor of Expressions in 2016.

“We are very pleased to have Sauk Valley Bank’s

continued support of Expressions,” said Jackson.

“They play an important role in making this event a success. They have been a wonderful supporter of the Sinnissippi Foundation, but they have also demonstrated a commitment to the arts and to their local community as well. It’s a pleasure to have them on board and a very natural fit for the local community oriented organization.”

The art sale and reception begins April 5 when art and silent auction items go on display.

They can be viewed during gallery hours which are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Art items can be purchased at any time once they go on display at the gallery and bids can be placed on the silent auction items.

Art and silent auction items will remain on display through April 22.

Butterfly program is set

The Prairie Preservation Society of Ogle County will host a program about butterflies on Sunday, April 3, at 2 p.m. at the Kickapoo Nature Center, 1919 N. Limekiln Rd., Oregon.

Butterfly expert Wayne Schennum, will give the program, focusing on butterflies of the Rock River Region.

Schennum is a biologist who studies butterflies in various habitats.

He will explain how to identify them, where they live, and how to protect and encourage them.

Butterflies need special conditions including host plants for both adults and larvae, weather, and location.

Some can live in many

places, others have very specific needs.

Some thrive only in natural area remnants. Discover the locations in which specific butterflies have been found.

The program is free and open to the public. Children are welcome in the company of an adult.

Light refreshments will be served after the presentation.

Oregon barber celebrates 30th year in business

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Thirty years ago, Cherie Slack embarked on a career she still dearly loves.

Newly divorced and in need of a job, Slack, now 61, decided to go to barber college.

“I wanted to cut hair but didn’t want to do hair, so I went to barber college instead of beauty school, and I’m so glad I did,” she said with a smile.

Slack started her career in Leaf River, where she had a shop for two and one-half years. Then she moved her shop to Mt. Morris for 23 years.

She’s been at her present location at 115 N. Fourth St. in Oregon for the last four and one-half years.

One of the things Slack enjoys the most about her profession is that she has gotten to know her customers very well.

“I’ve made so many friends over the years,” she said. “I love my guys. It’s like having a bunch of dads.”

She specializes in cutting men’s and boys’ hair.

“I’ve never cut a woman’s hair,” she said.

Over the years Slack has cut fathers’ hair and then their sons’.

“I have one fourth generation family and a lot of third generation,” she said.

“I’ve done tons of first haircuts,” she said laughing. “That can be a challenge!”

Besides being a barber, Slack also collects the tools or her trade.

She has a chair that the late Earl Avey, Mt. Morris barber, bought in 1929.

Also in on display in her shop is Avey’s cash register and a cabinet full of shaving mugs and brushes.

The cash register goes up to $1, and a receipt she found in the drawer shows Avey bought it used in 1929.

Another cabinet recently made for her by a customer displays more barber shop

memorabilia, and straight razors are mounted on old barn boards.

Slack said she especially likes her present location on Fourth Street (Ill. 2) because of the visibility and convenience for customers.

She said many customers come to her from the restaurant just across the street.

In summer, many times people passing through town come in for a trim.

Slack’s hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, 1 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday.

To schedule an appointment call her at 815-732-7700.

Reckamp, Coots honored for volunteer efforts Oregon High School students Ellen Reckamp and Will Coots have been honored for their volunteer service with a President’s Volunteer Service Award.

The award, which recognizes Americans of all ages who have volunteered significant amounts of their time to serve their communities and their country, was granted by The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program on behalf of President Barack Obama.

Oregon High School nominated both Reckamp and Coots for national honors this fall in recognition of their volunteer service.

Reckamp’s service includes more than 927 hours.

One project includes volunteering at Camp Ondessonk, a summer camp in Ozark, Illinois.

For five weeks she helped

campers learn the importance of nature, gain collaboration skills, make new friends, and have an awesome summer.

“I think summer camp is a great place to send kids because it allows them to gain independence and skills they can use throughout their life while having a fun time,” she said.

Coots’ service includes close to 2,000 hours.

His most recent project was renovating the Oregon High School’s theater stage over the summer of 2015.

This project included gutting the wings, the basement and wind tunnels, the upstairs prop room, and tearing down all of the old stage flats.

“I have never done anything as large or as demanding as the project,” Coots said. “What makes the project worth it is the joy it brings to my fellow classmates and members of

my community.”

“Both Ellen and Will are the best kind of student representatives for Oregon High School. They are academic high achievers, devoted to serving others, and all around really good kids.” said OHS Principal

Andrew Nelson The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, sponsored by Prudential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), recognizes middle level and high school

students across America for outstanding volunteer service.

“The recipients of these awards demonstrate that young people across America are making remarkable contributions to the health and vitality of their communities,” said John Strangfeld, chairman and CEO of Prudential Financial. “ B y recognizing these students and placing a spotlight on their volunteer activities, we hope to motivate others to consider how they can also contribute to their community.”

“Demonstrating civic responsibility through volunteerism is an important part of life,” said NASSP Executive Director JoAnn Bartoletti. “These honorees practice a lesson we hope all young people, as well as adults, will emulate.”

Prudential Spirit of

Community Award applications were distributed nationwide last September through middle level and high schools, Girl Scout councils, county 4-H organizations, American Red Cross chapters, YMCAs and HandsOn Network affiliates.

These schools and officially-designated local organizations nominated local honorees, whose applications were advanced for state-level judging.

In addition to granting President’s Volunteer Service Awards on behalf of President Barack Obama, The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards selected State Honorees, Distinguished Finalists and Certificate of Excellence recipients.

Volunteer activities were judged on criteria including personal initiative, creativity, effort, impact and personal growth.

Students take to the trail, learn at Ikidarod

Some were mushers, some were dogs, and some were in support roles, but when it was all said and done eight teams of Oregon fourth graders had learned a lot about teamwork and a lot about the history of the Iditarod, the annual long distance sled dog race held in Alaska.

After learning about the famous endurance race in the classroom, two teams from each fourth grade glass strapped on their towlines and sleds, in this case wagons, and headed out to race along the bike path at Oregon Park West on a mild Tuesday afternoon.

“The teachers did a good job of teaching all the commands,” said Oregon High School assistant principal Mike Boyer, and an assistant trainer for the race. “We trained last week in PE class so the kids could get a feel of how to turn and not what to do.”

Mushers, the person riding in the sled/wagon, reviewed their commands—Hike, to start, Gee, turn right, Haw, turn left — prior to the start at line at the Coutts Crossing footbridge.

“These are all things you’ve learned in the classroom and today you all have to work together,” said teacher Suzanne Rypkema.

Donning helmets, the mushers barked out the commands to their team of 12 pullers who held on to a rope attached to the wagon.

Each team departed from the start line in staggered start times.

Then each team stopped at checkpoints along the route.

Sometimes they had to answer questions about the race, or figure out a math problem while at another they snacked. One checkpoint had kids select a card to find out what type of weather was ahead.

Teams earned points for correct answers and received deductions for wrong answers or missing a curve.

In one case, a team took a hit on their time when they ran into a make believe blizzard.

Each team had to transport a raw egg the length of the course, representing a crucial aspect of Iditarod history when the diphtheria serum was transported in 1925 by mushers and their dogs to Nome.

If the egg was damaged, the team lost points.

Retired teachers Jean Hoff and

Paul Davis organized the first Oregon Ikidarod in the mid-1990s. Both were on hand Tuesday to help with the race.

“The students are learning about the history of the Iditarod,” said Hoff, who along with Davis, checked on the conditions of the eggs at the end of the race. “We made a whole curriculum about the race for our students and each child had a musher that they followed. We even had real musher from England, Max Hall, come and talk to the kids.”

After each team member received a participation certificate, organizer Sue Null, also a retired teacher, announced the winning team.

“First place goes to Team 5,” she said. “They knew a lot about the Iditarod and they had good weather.”

Jasmyne Swope and Houston Arterburn shared mushing duties for Team 5. Both credited teamwork for their win.

“We had faith in our whole team, everybody,” said Arterburn, who will turn 11 this week. “Our egg was perfect.

“We’re really happy,” said Swope.

“And happy for all the people who helped with the race,” said Arterburn.

Rypkema and Null recognized Daivs and Hoff for initiating the event and everyone who helped with the race on Tuesday.

“This has been going on for more than 20 years. Every year it changes a little bit,” said Null.

“It takes a lot of people to do this,” said Rypkema, thanking all the volunteers who manned checkpoints.

“Tim Gipper has also been a mainstay for the race. Each year he provides his expertise and prepares the harnesses.”

Lady Hawks depending

on youth for track season

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com

Oregon has 34 girls out for track and field, but a dearth of upperclassmen with only two seniors dotting the roster.

Sprinter Mackenzie Skoumal and middledistance runner Abby Newman are those two athletes.

“We’re real young,” second-year coach Nick Schneiderman said. “We will have growing pains.”

Juniors Mayra NavaMoyotl and Haylie Rorbeck also add experiences in the distances.

“We’re usually loaded with sprinters,” Schneiderman said. “This year, we could end up being more of a middle distance team.”

The Lady Hawks lost

everyone from their statequalifying 400 and 800-meter relay teams. The biggest loss was 4-time state qualifier and triple jump school record holder Sarah Lauer, both a jumper and sprinter.

“With Sarah Lauer and Kelsey Pudlas gone, that is at least 20 point apiece in meets for us,” Schneiderman said.

Also running on those relays were Sarah Harris, Hailey Long, Delaney Mahoney, and Sommer Rhea.

Harris, Long, and Mahoney graduated in 2015.

“We lost a good senior class,” Scheiderman said.

“And, we didn’t get everyone out that were out last year.

We’ll have holes in some events.”

A continuing strength will be the throwing events under the tutelage of Illinois Hallof-Fame coach Doug Engle.

Throwers with experience are juniors Ellen Reckamp and Megan Groenhagen, along with sophomore Meredith Gelander.

“There is a possibility that all three will score big in meets for us,” Schneiderman said.

Another promising aspect of the team is having 12 freshmen out.

“There is potential. Some of those girls could turn out to be a lot of help for us,” Schneiderman said.

In previous years, Oregon would contend for the top three of the BNC. This year, Schneiderman admits it will be difficult to be in the upper echelon.

“The girls have working hard, though,” Schneiderman said. “We have nine meets in April, we need to get in the best condition we can.”

The Oregon High School bowling teams recently held a fundraiser for Special Olympics.

Hawks beat Lamoille 6-1, fall to Cougars Jared Pottorff earned the win on the mound and drove in a pair of runs at the plate for Oregon at home in a 6-1 win over Lamoille on March 17.

His RBI double was part of a three-run second inning for the Hawks. He also drove in Zach Stromberg with a sacrifice fly in the sixth.

On the mound, he struck out six in four innings of work.

Trey Wilson had a pair of singles and scored twice for Oregon.

Oregon was edged by Eastland 8-7 on Monday.

Oregon trailed 8-4 heading into the sixth, before scoring three times in the bottom half of the inning. The Hawks couldn’t get any more, however, in the loss.

Ross Hulvey led Oregon with two hits, while Savian Hernandez and Jared Pottorff each had two RBIs.

Emily Perkins allowed one hit in the circle for the Hawks, striking out 12 and walking six.

Anni Wilson was 3-for3 at the plate, while Aleah Wight, Hailey White and Ally Bartling all had two hits for Oregon. Bartling drove in three runs.

On March 21, the Lady Hawks were trailing 1-0, but pounded out 25 runs over the next four innings to in 25-3.

White led Oregon with eight RBIs, and Alli Henson and Wight each knocked in four runs.

Henson had a home run and a double, while Wight added a triple and a double.

Wight also earned the win in the circle, pitching five innings of three-hit ball while allowing no earned runs.

Sports Column Rankings don’t mean much in tourney time

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com With the 3A and 4A IHSA tournaments concluding this past weekend, it’s time to put a cap on the boys high school basketball season.

It’s apparent that rankings don’t mean a whole lot. State 1A and 2A champs Leroy and St. Joe-Ogden weren’t even mentioned in the preseason polls.

In 3A, Lincoln-Way West upset Chicago Morgan and Peoria Manual to reach the finals and were unranked all year.

Rockford Auburn, which lost all five starters, wasn’t ranked either, but is coming home from Peoria with a 4A state trophy.

Officials at the IHSA were

glad to see some decent crowd sizes at Carver Arena.

The final between Rockridge and St. Joe-Ogden had tons of enthusiasm and Lincoln-Way brought 13 student buses with them.

The beauty of the Rockridge-St. Joe match up was a return of the traditional community versus community rivalry.

In the 1940s to the 1970s, the IHSA state tournament enjoyed tremendous fan support because of a town’s identity.

In the 1980s, that aspect began to fade with multiple school consolidations and coops, an influx of both private schools and Chicago public league teams. None draw as well as a communitybacked school.

Getting back to the 2A final between Rockridge and St. Joe-Ogden. Could Oregon have been competitive with either team?

You bet they could. Class 2A was as wide open as it’s

ever been and any of perhaps 20 teams could have won it.

I disagree with the notion that summer ball makes a team better come postseason time.

Schools can play all they want, but in crunch time it comes down to mental toughness and character.

Another factor in Rockridge and St. JoeOgden’s favor is that some of basketball players are part of competitive football teams.

Give me a team of multisport athletes over the 1-sport specialists.

This doesn’t have anything to do with demographics, but could another factor in declining attendance have to so with the style of ball seen at the state finals?

Bare in mind, this is coming from an older guy, but it appears the offensive scheme is about wildly driving to the basket or shooting 3-pointers.

Compared to the fundamentally sound game

of earlier decades, nowadays there is an inferior product on the court.

One participant at the state tourney had a connection to Oregon.

Peoria Manual junior A.J. Youngman is the son of 2007-2008 Hawk basketball coach Jim Youngman.

If there is such a thing as a vagabond father and son act in basketball, it is the Youngmans.

Besides Oregon, Youngman has coached at numerous schools. His son played high school ball in Kentucky, briefly at Morton and now Manual. Word is that numerous colleges have been interested in A.J. since his junior high days.

Speaking of things getting a bit of control when it comes to sports, last week’s column touched a bit upon Northern Illinois basketball.

The Huskies are the only D-I school in the state playing in the post season.

That’s not to say that other

colleges in Illinois weren’t invited to newfangled and nefarious tourneys invented to squeeze money out of those same universities.

Besides the NCAA and the NIT, none have much merit and other colleges in Illinois wisely declined said offers.

But, NIU chose to accept an offer to play in something called the Vegas16 next week, so named because it was to have 16 teams.

Organizers couldn’t scrape up 16 teams willing to prostitute themselves, so after much confusion, opted to go with an 8-team bracket.

The drama and emotion of the NCAA basketball tournament cannot be matched by any other sporting event.

From start to finish, the games in round one and two this past weekend were scintillating.

I do have a major beef, though. The greedmongers at CBS and the NCAA have ruined the actual games with

Andy Colbert

all the timeouts. Without a channel changer to switch from game to game as the commercials play out, it’s not very watchable.

Allow me to correct many a broadcaster who talks of players being worn out or having tired legs. How could physically fit 20-year olds be tired when they get sit-down breaks every 3-4 minutes for the TV commercials?

Padilla offers highlights of the Smoke Free Illinois Act

By Joanie D. Padilla Director Health Education Emergency Preparedness Ogle County Health Department The Smoke Free Illinois Act (SFIA) (410 ILCS 82/) became effective January 1, 2008 and little has changed to that law.

The Ogle County Smoke-Free Ordinance (OCSFO) went into effect July 1, 2015.

Let’s take a look at the highlights of both laws.

Smoking and use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) commonly referred to as E-cigarettes is prohibited in all public places and places of employment with very few exceptions.

Prohibited places include all restaurants, bars, places of business, healthcare facilities, governmental offices, and student dormitories.

In essence, both laws apply to any building or enclosed area in which there is public access.

Smoking is prohibited within 15 feet of an entrance, exit, window, or ventilation intake.

Additionally, all public places and places of employment must post in a “conspicuous” area a “No Smoking” sign complete with a picture of a burning cigarette enclosed within a red circle with a red bar across it and “Includes E-Cigarettes at each entrance.

Signs are available for download at: http://www.oglecounty.org/ departments/health-department-2/

health-education/ .

All ashtrays/receptacles must be removed from areas where smoking is prohibited. Business owners are responsible for a reasonable enforcement of smoking prohibition in their establishment and within 15 feet of their entrances/exits, windows and ventilation intakes.

Provisions are made for enforcement of both laws.

Enforcement agencies named are local law enforcement and state-certified local public health departments.

Ogle County Health Department (OCHD) is a state-certified local health department and as such does conduct enforcement activities related to SFIA and OCSFO.

Enforcement agencies are charged in the act to enforce the provisions and are able to write citations and assess fines. Penalties for individuals begin at $100 for a first offense and $250 for each subsequent offense.

Fines for businesses begin at $250 for the first offense, $500 for the second violation within in one year, and $2,500 for each subsequent violation within a year after the occurrence of the first violation.

More information is available on the SFIA at www.smoke-free. illinois.gov as well as the ability to submit a violation complaint.

Information on the Ogle County Smoke-Free Ordinance may also be found at the health department web

address noted above.

Complaints may also be called into Ogle County Health Department.

Assistance to stop smoking is available through the Illinois Tobacco Quitline by calling 1-866-Quit-Yes or 1-866-7848937. Smoking cessation classes are also available.

For more information or to log complaints contact the Ogle County Health Department at 815732-7330 ext. 279.

Help is available 24/7 through the Illinois Quitline.

For assistance in quitting smoking residents can call the Illinois Quitline at 866-QUIT YES or 866-784-8937.
