Ogle board approves raises for elected officials 20-3 vote on 17 percent increase over four years By Vinde Wells Editor Four elected officials in Ogle County will see hefty increases in their paychecks over the next four years. The county board approved raises Tuesday for the clerk, treasurer, circuit clerk, and sheriff by a 20-3 margin. Casting the no votes were board members Skip Kenney, Rochelle, Pat Saunders, Polo,

and Pat Nordman, Oregon. Bruce McKinney, Rochelle, did not attend the meeting. The salaries for the clerk, treasurer, and circuit clerk will increase from the current $68,500 per year to $75,000 in 2015, then to $76,500 in 2016, $78,412 for 2017, and $80,765 for 2018. The sheriff’s pay will increase from the present $81,500 to $82,500 next year, $84,150 in 2016, $86,254 in 2017, and $86,842 in 2018. Board chairman Kim Gouker, Byron, said the raises should be looked at as adjustments to make up for recent years when those

officials received no raises. “You will notice that in the base salary [$75,000] there is a significant adjustment,â€? he said. “That is because in the previous four years they got increases of only $1,000 for one year. The other three years were frozen.â€? Saunders voiced concern about how the county will pay for the raises. “My question is where will the money come from?â€? she said. “Most of our budget is for salaries‌If we have to make cuts to do this, are you willing to lay people off?â€? Saunders said the county’s tax base is “stagnant,â€? no

agreement has been reached with Exelon for the assessed value of the Byron Generating Station, and the county is currently in union contract negotiations with sheriff’s department employees. She said the proposed increase is 17 percent over the four years. “I agree with raises,� she said and proposed her own wage increase plan. Under her plan, the clerk, treasurer, and circuit clerk would get an additional $1,500 each next year, $1,000 in 2016, $1,000 in 2017, and $500 in 2018. The sheriff would receive

an additional $1,000 in each of the first two years. Kenney said he supported Saunders’ plan. Nordman also voiced concern over where the money will come from. Rich Gronewold, Forreston, said he had no problem with the increase to $75,000 but questioned subsequent increases. He cited high unemployment in the area he represents and said 47 percent of the students in the Forrestville Valley School District qualify for free lunches. “My constituents are

hurting,� Gronewold said. Board member Marcia Heuer, Oregon, said she wants to be sure the county’s tax revenues will be sufficient. Saunders asked Gouker if he had a plan to pay for the raises. Gouker said the county’s tax base has increased somewhat and sales tax and state income tax revenues have stabilized. “I believe out budget will be able to sustain this,� he said. By state statute, salaries for elected officials are set once every four years. The raises will take effect on Dec. 1.

County board hires firm

for “forensic examination� By Vinde Wells Editor It’s official — the Ogle County Sheriff’s Tow Fund will be getting a full forensic examination. By a unanimous vote Tuesday, the county board approved engaging the forensic services of Sikich LLP, Naperville, to examine Tow Fund expenditures and revenues since it was implemented in 2011 to the present. Sikich is the same firm that does the county’s regular annual audits. The fee for the initial investigation is $7,500 plus out-of-pocket expenses. If fraud is uncovered during the audit, the costs will increase to as much as $300 per hour for the investigators’ services. In their contract with the county, Sikich officials specified that the procedure should be called a forensic “examination,� rather than a forensic “audit.� Sheriff Michael Harn came

purposely not being called. “I want to apologize to the sheriff and the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department,� Wagner said. Harn did not attend either county board meeting. At the April meeting, tow truck owner Doug Aken, Oregon, spoke for himself, Wagner, and Stan Ubben, Mt. Turn to A2

Gouker called for a forensic examination of the Tow Fund at the April 15 meeting. At that same meeting, the county board approved a resolution establishing the Tow Fund. Gouker said that although the board approved implementing administrative tow fees in 2011, the ordinance governing that did not actually establish the Tow Fund. The new resolution mandated that Tow Fund deposits are limited to only administrative fees collected when a vehicle is towed, impounded, or seized during a criminal investigation. It further requires that the Tow Fee will be handled by the Ogle County Treasurer’s office, rather than the sheriff, as in the past. Treasurer John Coffman said the Tow Fund was turned over to his office April 15 when received a check for $51,932.07 from the sheriff’s department.

under fire in the last several months over expenditures from the Tow Fund, which included purchasing a new vehicle, flowers for Secretaries Day, a tent at the county fair, and $4,000 for the department’s Facebook page to be managed. Last January, board member Richard Petrizzo, Davis Junction, made a motion for a forensic examination of the Tow Fund as well as the sheriff’s credit card expenditures. However, board chairman Kim Gouker, Byron, said the matter could not be voted on then because it was not on the agenda. Petrizzo’s subsequent efforts to have the matter placed on the agenda were unsuccessful. In February, the board diminished the sheriff’s control over the Tow Fund by limiting how it could be spent and requiring the approval of expenditures by the county committee that oversees the sheriff’s budget.

After several weeks of waiting, Ogle County Engineer Curtis Cook could breathe a sign of relief Monday afternoon. He finally found out then construction can resume on a new storage building at the highway department headquarters at 1989 S. Ill. 2. Construction on the 90 by 150 foot building has been delayed about a month, Cook said Tuesday because the concrete in the walls did not meet the strength requirements specified in the contract. In accordance with building standards, the highway department’s contract with Cord Construction, Rockford, requires that concrete must be tested for strength seven days after it’s poured and again at 28 days. The concrete in the building’s walls, however, did not met the requirements

at the first test. “It’s in our contract that it needed to meet at the 75 percent level after seven days,� Cook said. “It wasn’t there.� The 28-day test done Monday, however, produced better results. “Structurally the concrete met the strength requirements of the contract,� Cook said. Had the concrete failed the 28-day tests, it would have meant tearing out the walls and probably the footings and underlying pipes. The tests determined that the concrete was mixed with too high a percentage water in it, Cook said. “The contract spelled out the ratio of water. They exceeded that,� he said. The concrete came from the Super Mix plant in Belvidere. The company also has a plant near Monroe Center. It was poured by Preferred Concrete, Freeport. Once completed, the $700,000 steel building will

be used to store road graders and other heavy equipment, some of which currently sits outside. The parking lot work will cost an estimated $278,000 and will be done by Martin and Company. Although the concrete is structurally sound, Cook said it still did not meet the requirements of the contract. He said he has been working with officials from Cord Construction to resolve the issues. “I’m very pleased with the cooperation we got from Cord Construction. From day one they acknowledged the problem and required the sub-contractors to remedy the situation,� he said. “As difficult as the process has been, they made it much better than it could have been.� As result, the county will not have to pay for the concrete in the walls roughly estimated at $10,000.

Cookout at Basler’s to help Oregon FFA The Oregon FFA and Basler’s Ace Hardware are teaming together to raise money for chapter members. On Saturday, May 24 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., members will be selling hot dogs, chips, cookies, and drinks outside the store entrance located at 807 W Pines Rd., Oregon. The proceeds from the cookout will be used by the chapter to send two members to the Washington Leadership Conference in Washington,

D.C. At the leadership conference members will meet other FFA members from across the country, develop a “Living to Serve� plan, participate in a “Day of Service� and gain valuable goal setting and leadership abilities. The trip is very costly and chapter members have already secured some scholarship money to help pay for a portion of their travel costs.

Morris. Aken told the board all three have been on the rotation list for many years but found themselves being called less frequently under Harn’s administration. Then on March 20, Aken said he received a letter from

Harn informing him he was no longer on the list. The letter gave no reason. However, Aken said he believes it was because he supported another candidate in the March 18 Republican primary. Harn was defeated in his bid for a second term in the three-way race.

When we came back from Japan in 1949, the ship stopped in Hawaii for a couple of days and then we came up through the Panama Canal to New Orleans.

Every 40 seconds, someone has a stroke. Give us an hour and we can help you understand why – and what to do about it. Stroke is a brain attack, cutting off vital blood flow and oxygen to the brain. Almost 800,000 strokes happen every year, with one occurring every 40 seconds and taking a life every four minutes. As the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S., many of us will be touched by it at some time.

Care for a luau anyone?� The sale 12th year and this year Virnoche-Brown, a cancer survivor, hopes to top the $100,000 mark in total sales. “Why do we continue to do this? We are grateful for every day,� she said. “We plan to ‘pay it forward’ through donations so that we can raise funds for the American Cancer Society. During this 12th year, we are aiming for $100,000 target. Did you know that $100,000 is an entry-level grant to an ACS-funded researcher? While we celebrate more birthdays, let’s also celebrate that enough money

was raised to fund a research study.� No single nongovernmental, not-forprofit organization in the U.S. has invested more to find the causes and cures of cancer than the American Cancer Society. The American Cancer Society has helped make possible almost every major cancer research breakthrough since 1946. Currently, there are 883 grants being funded through dollars donated by citizens. “Let’s put Ogle County on the map as the county that funded a researcher’s grant. Let’s help save lives and celebrate more birthdays,� Virnoche-Brown said. For more information call her at 815-973-2050.

Boy Scout works to help clear pines for project An Oregon Boy Scout has chosen Sand Ridge, a prairie preservation project, as his Eagle Scout project. Jon Chapman, a member of Boy Scout Troop 52, and the crew he organized worked May 10 to clear downed overgrown scotch pines and hauled them to a collection site. Chapman’s fellow scouts, friends, and family all pitched in. He said he believed they could meet

his goal of removing several hundred of the 500 trees that previous Eagle Scout candidate Michael Stevens had felled with his crew earlier this spring. Chapman, working to become an Eagle Scout before he turns 18, said his troop leader Ray Gruber had suggested the project. His mother, having worked for the Byron Forest Preserve and planning to pursue a degree in conservation, was

also influential, he said. Sand Ridge, former part of the Sinnissippi Forest tree farm, is owned by the Prairie Preservation Society of Ogle County (PPSOC). “The Prairie Preservation Society of Ogle County is grateful to the scouts and to Ray Gruber for the fine work they have done to help restore the ecology of Sand Ridge,� said Sonia Vogle, Oregon, a member of the PPSOC.

Garden tractors on display at annual jamboree Some of the 300 were rare examples By Chris Johnson Reporter Three or four colors readily come to mind when you think about garden tractors. However, a rainbow of hues, including white, blue, green, and every combination imaginable, were on display last weekend along Columbian Road. More than 300 of these garden tractors were on display May 17 during the fifth annual AJ’s Garden Tractor Jamboree. The Pennsylvania Panzer is a bright blue garden tractor. One of these classics was brought to the show by Don Joy, Lombard. “The paint on these tractors was a 1957 Chevy Robin Egg blue,� he said. “These tractors were made in the 1960’s and this one is one of the last models.� Joy was displaying a 1969 example. “The unique thing is it has a belt drive shifter,� he said. “It also has a Chrysler rear end with brakes.�

Dozens of tractors were part of the morning tractor parade at AJ’s Garden Tractor Jamboree. Photo by Chris Johnson

He said the brakes can be applied separately to aid in turning. As Joy was explaining the features of his tractor it was apparent that he loved garden tractors. Event organizer Andy Hinrichs owns a collection of garden tractors and created the event to bring fans of garden tractors together. “We are getting more tractors every year at this jamboree,� said Hinrichs. “It was a fabulous turnout today.� Some of the tractors on display included MTDs, Case, Wheel Horse, Red E’s,

White, John Deere, Ford, Morris, and Springfields. “I think we are getting 300 tractors this year,� said Hinrichs. The day was filled with activities to keep everyone in attendance busy. Tractors lined up down the driveway to participate in the opening tractor parade where more than 40 participants rode around the festival grounds. Other events included garden tractor plowing, games, rope making, and a poker run. Weather turned out to be no issue for the jamboree.

“We were worried Friday with the snow,� said Hinrichs. “When I woke up to set up today there was frost on the ground.� When the sun rose, temperatures followed suit. A sunny sky with few clouds in sight warmed the air to the low 60s throughout the day. Walking around the jamboree small groups were gathered around different tractors. The people were sharing stories of why they like certain brands of garden tractors and the fun they have with owning and sharing their tractors with others.

Hotel is in foreclosure By Vinde Wells Editor An area bank has filed foreclosure proceedings against a well-known Oregon hotel. Attorneys for mortgageholder Stillman Banccorp filed a lawsuit in Ogle County Court April 29 against the Paddle Wheel Inn, 1457 N. Ill. 2, just north of Oregon. The 100-plus room hotel is located on the banks of the Rock River next to Maxson’s Riverside Restaurant, just east of the bank’s Oregon branch. The restaurant is not connected to the hotel and reopened in March under

new ownership. Court records show that the hotel is owned by Lila V. Kaufman, James D. Kaufman, Carol K. Bush, and Martin A. Bush. According to court documents, the hotel owners failed to made their mortgage payment last September and ever since. The bank is owed $776,952 on the 10-year mortgage which was taken out in September of 2008. Monthly payments were $6,744. Attorneys for the bank are asking that the court make a judgment to foreclose on the mortgage and to either grant the bank possession of the

hotel or appoint a receiver. The lawsuit also asks that the property is sold at a public auction with open bids. The bank is represented by Stephen G. Balsley of the Rockford law firm of Barrick, Switzer, Long, Balsley, & Van Evera. Ogle County property records show that the real estate taxes on the hotel are up-to-date. The hotel closed its doors late last fall and did not reopen this spring. A court date on the matter is set for June 13. The Paddle Wheel Inn was The Paddlewheel Inn is located north of Oregon off of Ill. 2. It closed last fall and is built in the mid-1990s. now in foreclosure.

Dear Editor, We did it again! Letter carriers at the Oregon Post Office along with postal employees and local volunteers teamed up to stamp out hunger in the community. I want to thank everyone who helped make this year’s Food Drive a success. It could not have been done without you. Across the country, the Food Drive – held in cooperation with the Postal Service – resulted in millions of pounds of non-perishable food collected and distributed to deserving charities nationwide. Closer to home, the Oregon carriers collected 1,650 pounds of food from generous donations left at mailboxes, which were then delivered to local community food pantries. For more than twenty years our local community has come together for this important event to help make it successful. This clearly shows the generosity of everyone involved with the project – people who make a difference in other people’s lives. Paula Tegeler Oregon Postmaster

Police helped rescue dog from Rock River Dear Editor, A huge thank you to Oregon Police Officers, Officer Brad Cash and Cpl. Joe Brooks for helping our dog get up and out of the Rock River. Somehow he got out of our fenced in yard and ran to the river. Apparently he was “swimming� and couldn’t get a foot hold on the banks to get out. Our dog, Tyson is a Malamute mix, about 13 years old, who is experiencing failing eye sight and hearing loss, plus he has arthritis in his hind quarters. We adopted him about 11 years ago from Granny Rose Animal Shelter in Dixon. Our pets are a part of our family and Tyson had us very worried, once we realized he was out of the yard. Knowing he is arthritic, we can only imagine what could have happened if they had not helped him get out of the river. We can’t thank Officer Cash and Cpl. Brooks enough for a job well done and saving our family dog. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Tim and Mary Jorgenson Oregon

Hawks beat Morrison 5-2 in opener of regional By Dan Woessner Sauk Valley Media Crafty. Consistent. Controlled. Efficient. Dependable. All of those words could be found describing Matt Murray on the back of his baseball card. The lanky senior lefthander has a way on the mound that has made him a valuable commodity for the Oregon Hawks. One word that wouldn’t likely be on that card is slugger. Yet, despite his masterful performance on the rubber for Oregon during its 5-2 win over Morrison on Monday in a quarterfinal of the 2A Stillman Valley Regional, it was his power at the plate that might be most memorable. Murray stepped to the plate during the top of the seventh inning after Oregon has just reclaimed the lead at 3-2 on a RBI single by Tyler Blume. The bases were loaded as Bill Greul, working his first inning in relief of sophomore sensation Joey Brackemyer, delivered the pitch to Murray. The Hawk ace drilled the ball high and deep against a stiff wind, and it finally rattled off the front of the fence down the left-field line. Two more runs scored, and the Hawks (7-19) had a comfortable three-run lead. “I’ve never hit the ball that hard in my life,� Murray said. “I just don’t hit balls like that. I’ve never hit a ball over the fence, but to get it that far

at the plate was very good for most of the game,� said Morrison coach Ben Sondgeroth. “We weren’t being patient, and Murray took advantage of that. He

They stepped up when we need them.� Greul (6-3) started the seventh, after Morrison had plated two runs in the sixth to tie the score. Like Brackemyer before him, Greul was tested to throw strikes by the Oregon batters. Joey Rowe and Adam Bittner coaxed walks to start the inning. After Mason Smith popped out, Sawyer Reynolds hit a bloop single to right to load the bases for Blume. “Murray (4-6) needed seven pitches – he threw only 74 in the game – to retire the Mustangs in the seventh. Murray took a no-hitter into the sixth inning. While the wind hurt the break on his curveball, he was more than willing to throw strikes and let the Mustangs (16-6) hit the ball in the air. “I don’t throw to strike people out,� Murray said. “I just try to throw strikes and get contact, and hope that my defense makes plays. “They were swinging early

in the count and that helped me out. Then I could hear their coach telling them to lay off the first pitch, so I figured I could sneak a fastball up there to get ahead.� Oregon scored once in the fourth, as Blume scored from second on a single to left by Luke Ziegler. The throw home by Andy Bird was off line, but catcher Justin Jensen retrieved it and threw to Brackemyer covering the plate. It was a bang-bang play, but Blume was ruled safe. The play came an inning after Kollin Burn threw Bittner out at the plate from right field. Mason Smith’s single in the fifth scored Joey Rowe to put Oregon up 2-0. The Morrison bats – which had made some solid contact throughout the game – found the holes in the sixth. Morrison’s Ryan VanZuiden broke up the nohitter with a single to lead off the sixth. Bird moved him to Oregon’s Tyler Blume is called safe at home for the Hawks’ first run against Morrison second on a bunt, and then he on Monday. Also signaling safe is Blume’s teammate Paul Rypkema.

Cullen, Long to lead Oregon at state track meet By Andy Colbert Reporter

Byron edges past Lady Hawks at 1A sectional By Andy Colbert Reporter Track sectionals are primarily about sending qualifiers downstate, but team titles are a nice plus. After finishing second to Byron the last three years, Oregon was poised to be the top girls team at the 1A sectional on May 16. The Lady Hawks were ahead with three events left, but star distance runner Kelsey Hildreth got the lead back for Byron in the 1,600 and a win in the 200 by Challen Jackson over Cydney Long of Oregon sealed the title. Byron had 126.5 points to win its 11 sectional in 12 years. Oregon had 112, the closest margin between the two schools in several years. “You never see the full Byron team until the sectional,” Oregon coach Lynn Ahlgrim said. “To stay this close to them with such a small and young team was a great accomplishment for us.” Byron won all four relays and had double place winners in over half of the events. “It took our whole team then,” Byron coach Scott McMullen said. “Winning that 200 for big for us. We knew it would be tight. Oregon is so good in the field events and with Cydney.” Long won her specialties, the 100 hurdles (15.48 seconds) and 300 hurdles (48.28), to make it 13 events qualified for in four years at Oregon. She also took third in the long jump (16’) and fourth in the 200 (27.61). “By the 200, Cydney’s legs were done,” Ahlgrim. “Doing six long jumps takes a toll on

you.” Oregon had another double winner in Shannon Cullen, though she did put a scare into her throwing coach Doug Engle. Coming in as the No. 1 seed in the discus, Cullen scratched on her first two attempts and was one throw away of missing the finals. “On the last one, I told her she could either make a full turn, which is more risky, or try to qualify from the standing position,” Engle said. Cullen opted for a full turn and managed to keep the discus within three feet of going out-of-bounds and advanced to the finals. There, she won with a personal best of 120’-2”. “It takes guts to make a full turn throw with the nerves and frustration she was had,” Engle said. “In the discus, she is just starting to see how good she can be.” In her specialty, the shot put, the returning state medalist hit the 39-foot mark to win by nearly five feet. Earlier in the week, she went over 40 feet for the first time. Oregon’s Sarah Lauer added a triple jump (33’-7”) win and Kelsey Pudlas did the same in the pole vault (8’-6”) to give each both conference and sectional titles. Whitney Long added to Oregon’s field event point total and qualified for the state meet with a second place in the high jump at 5’. Another Lady Hawk second-placer was Mackenzie Skoumal in the 400. After dropping the baton in the 400 relay, Oregon’s 800 relay of Erica Grace, Pudlas, Sarah Harris and Brianna Horn redeemed itself with a 1:54.64 clocking, edging

As has been the case all year, it will be Shannon Cullen and Cydney Long leading the Oregon girls track team at the IHSA 1A meet. The pair had third-place finishes last year at the state meet. The preliminary round is Thursday on the campus of Eastern Illinois University, with the finals on Saturday. In the shot put, Cullen was the top returning placer from 2013, but a couple of youngsters have stepped into the limelight. Based on sectional results, Cullen’s mark of 39-feet sits third behind freshman Kathleen Young of Warrensburg (42’2”) and sophomore Rachel Clowers of Pleasant Hill (39’-4”). Cullen has also advanced in the discus for the first time in her throwing career and has the No. 5 seed with a personal best of 120’-2”. Young and Clowers are 1-2, with throws of 130’-5” and 129’-8”. The third, fourth and sixth seeds are also sophomores, leaving Cullen as the veteran of the bunch. Having competed the last two years at Charleston will be an advantage to her, as she hopes to become the first throwing state champ in either the boys or girls programs at Oregon. Long brings the third-best time (15.48 seconds) in the

110 hurdles. That race looks to be wide open between No. 1 seed Erin Johnson of Trenton (15.28), last year’s second-place finisher, Jenny Kimbro of Sidell (15.36) and last year’s champ, Peyton Wade of Aurora Christian (15.64). Long is also entered in the 300 hurdles and is No. 15 seed, two and half seconds behind Kimbro. Oregon is also sending another veteran in junior Sarah Lauer. A 3-time sectional champ in the triple jump, Lauer is looking to advance to Saturday’s finals for the first time. A jump of at least 33 feet will likely be needed and Lauer has done that many times. The other field event entries are Kelsey Pudlas in the pole vault and Whitney Long in the high jump. Also competing will be Turn to B2

West Carroll for the secondplace qualification. The 1,600 relay of Skoumal, Whitney Long, Pudlas and Horn were the beneficiaries of a disqualification of Harvest Christian to move up from third place to second and also make state. Other meet placers for Oregon were Harris, fifth in the 100, Adena Burger, fifth in the pole vault and a third by Karisa Corbin in the shot put. Corbin’s final throw was a personal record of 34’-1” and only two inches from the 34’-3” by state qualifier Lauren Twardoski of Byron.

“You couldn’t ask for more,” Engle said. “That’s not bad for a bowler in her first year of track.” Besides Cullen and Long for Oregon, the meet’s other double winner was Hildreth of Byron in the 1,600 and 3,200 runs. In the 3,200, she lapped every competitor at least once and finished with a time of 10:32, good for top 40 in the nation according to dyetstat. com. That time also beat half of the 3,200 relay entrants. “She’s the story of the meet,” Polo/Forreston coach Terry Jenkins said.

A little bit of wind didn’t bother the Lady Hawks in the least bit Monday night as they blew past Rockford Christian 15-1 in the opening night of regional softball play. Sophomore Sommer Rhea had two hits, including a triple and two RBIs as Oregon won the game in five innings in the first round of the 2A Stillman Valley Regional. Bella Holley, also a sophomore, hit a triple and added an RBI in the win for the Hawks. Junior Abby Baker earned the win for Oregon going three scoreless innings and allowing just four hits. She

walked two batters on the night and struck out four and also knocked in two runs. Oregon fell to StillmanValley on Tuesday night, 10-0, in six innings, Stillman jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first inning and never looked back. Paige Abbott pitched the shutout for the Lady Cardinals striking out seven while giving up just four hits. The Forreston-Polo vs. Byron game was moved to Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. due to inclement weather. The championship regional game is slated for Saturday, May 24 at 11 a.m.

Rutherford flies high at BNC meet By Andy Colbert Reporter It was the Ashton Rutherford show at the Big Northern conference boys track meet at Byron on May 15. In the lone first place for Oregon, Rutherford pole vaulted a personal best of 14 foot, 3 inches. The senior also added a second place in the 300 intermediate hurdles, sixth in the 110 high hurdles and ran a leg on the 400-meter relay that placed fourth. “Ashton was phenomenal,” Oregon coach Jim Spratt said. His 20 points accounted for half the 38 scored by the Hawks in a sixth-place finish

out of 14 teams at Byron. Perennial power Burlington Central doubled the score on second-place Winnebago, 150 to 71 and repeated a conference champ. Byron was third with 66, flowed by Rockford Christian at 42, North Boone 41 and Oregon. “B-C is nearly impossible to beat. They’re a track school,” Spratt said. Besides making it four conference vault titles in the past six years for Oregon, Rutherford joins Jeremy Nesemeier (2001), Adam Tate (2005), Ethan Gale (2009), Drew Smith (2009) and Austin McCourt (2012) as members of the Hawk 14foot club. Rutherford and Sean Kitsch

of Burlington Central were the only competitors left at 14’. Since Rutherford was ahead on fewer misses, Kitsch would have needed to make 14’ to have any chance to win in what has developed into a strong rivalry over the years between Oregon and B-C vaulters. Rutherford barely missed his first attempt, but made it on his final try, while Kitsch did not come close. It was also a repeat conference title for Rutherford. “You got us again,” B-C vault coach Dave Verner said. “Maybe after this year, we’ll have a chance.” Rutherford appeared to be spent after two misses at 14’3”, but somehow managed

to clear it on his last attempt. He then had the bar raised to 14’-7”, one inch about Tate’s school record of 14’-6”. He took two attempts and called it a night after missing both times. Minutes later, he lined up to run the 300 hurdles, where he would face 2A state medalist Lucas Ege of BC. Ege’s time of 38.95 seconds beat everyone else by over two seconds with the real race for second, with the next five finishers within a second of each other. Rutherford ran 42.29 to take second by a half second. His time in the 110 hurdles was 16.10, with Ege claiming

Work pays off for Rutherford From B1 top honors at 14.88. “Ashton has worked so hard and tonight’s performance is a testament to four years of that,� Spratt said. Oregon’s only other individual places were by the dependable senior duo of Pierce Dhaese and Troy Pudlas. Pudlas, who has improved substantially in four years, took third in the discus with a throw of 140’ 5�, only nine feet off the first-place throw of 149’-5� by Ross Sealby of Byron. “That was great for Troy to get third,� Spratt said. Dhaese ran a 52.48 to place fourth in the 400 meters. Jeff Swanson of Winnebago won with a time of 49.55, breaking Jordan Thomas’ meet record

of 49.80. “Up against someone like Swanson, that’s a good effort for Pierce,� Spratt said. Spratt hasn’t made a final decision, but may opt to have Dhaese to drop the 400 run and concentrate of the 400, 800 and 1,600 relays in an attempt to qualify all three for state. “Unless he has a chance to make the finals downstate in the 400 run, that might be a better option,� Spratt said. In the 400 relay, Rutherford, Dhaese, Josh Drew teamed up with sophomore anchor Mitch Nehrkorn to run a seasonbest 44.90 to place fourth. In the 1,600 relay, it was Caleb Mennen, Drew, Dhaese and Nehrkorn finishing sixth, with a botched baton exchange costing them several seconds.

Oregon High School senior Josh Drew signed a National Letter of Intent on May 15 to attend St. Ambrose University as a member of it’s track and field team beginning next school year. “Josh has been an integral

part of the Oregon track and field team since his freshman year,� said Oregon coach Jim Spratt. “He has been a valuable member of our sprint and jumps teams both at the F/S and varsity levels as an Oregon track team member.�

The 3,200 relay of Austin Burkhart, Adam Weller, Jordan Rogers and Aaron Sitze had their best time (8:44) of the year and took fifth. The relay is still hoping to get close to where it was last year when it placed at state. “They’re coming around, but still have a ways to go,� Spratt said. Oregon lost another meet record, when Clay Musial of B-C ran 9 minutes, 49 seconds in the 3,200 run to break Andy Tremble’s 2002 mark of 9:45. This was the last year of a true conference meet, as the two divisions will split up for separate meets in 2015. “I’m going miss seeing some of those schools, especially B-C. That helped us to compete against them,� Spratt said.

Drew to run for St. Ambrose Univ. Drew was a member of Oregon’s 2013 sectional championship team. He will be part of the squad defending the title on Friday, May 23 as the Hawks host the IHSA Class 1A Sectional at Landers-Loomis Field.

Relay teams to run at state meet From B1 Mackenize Skoumal in the 400 run and the 800 relay of Erica Grace, Sarah Harris, Brianna Horn and Pudlas. In the 1,600 relay, it will be Pudlas, Skoumal, Whitney Long and Horn.

One of the most anticipated events of the meet is the 3,200 run where senior Kelsey Hildreth of Byron will face star freshman Anna Sophie Keller of Effingham St. Anthony. Hildreth comes in with a

time of 10 minutes 32 seconds compared to 10:37 by Keller. The last time the two raced against each other was at the 1A state cross-country meet where Keller won 16:35 to 17:20 for second-place Oregon Track Coach Jim Spratt, left, watches as Josh Drew signs with St. Ambrose.

Junior high girls’ teams third and fourth at conference meet The girls’ track teams of David L Rahn Junior High participated in the Route 72 Conference meet on May 13. Conference schools include: Byron, DLR, Forreston, Meridian, Pecatonica, Polo and Winnebago. As a team, the seventh grade girls brought home

the third place plaque behind champion, Byron and runnerup, Winnebago. The eighth grade girls were fourth behind Meridian, Winnebago and Byron. Individually, the only conference champion was Abigail Hopkins in the 100 meter hurdles in a time of 17.72 seconds.

All three relays placed. The 4x200 meter relay (Katlyn Reber, Hopkins, Bailey Nelson, MyKenzie Beitel) was second and the 4x100 relay (Cristina Tranchina, Mallory Bergstrom, Brooke Harris, Katelin Pudlas) and the 4x400 relay (Hopkins, Beitel, Grace Mongan, Byerley) were both third.

Others earning team points were: Byerley, long jump (2nd), 1600M (3rd) and 800M (5th); Beitel, high jump and 200M (3rd); Hopkins, long jump (3rd); Mongan, 400M (3rd); Nelson, 100M (3rd) and high jump (4th); and Jessica Brink, 200 hurdles (4th). Eighth graders contributing

to the team scoring included: Gylian Finch, high jump (2nd) and 100M (6th); Kailand Marks, shot (2nd) and discus (3rd); Gabby Russell. 200 hurdles (2nd), long jump (3rd) and 100 hurdles (5th); Elyse Cothran, 100 hurdles (4th) and long jump (5th); Morgan Miraglia, 1600M (6th) and Chloe

Diehl-Walker, discus (6th). The three relay teams also earned top six finishes. The 4x400M (Russell, Alyssa Theisen, Meredith Gelander, Finch) was third, the 4x200M (Cothran, Theisen, Gelander, Finch) was fourth and the 4x100M (Theisen, DiehlWalker, Marks, Gelander) finished sixth.

Sports Column Citizenry needs investigative reporting By Andy Colbert Reporter In last week’s Dixon Telegraph, David Giuliani announced he would be leaving us to take a newspaper position with in the suburbs. In his three years with Sauk Valley Media (our parent company), Giuliani did exemplary work in exposing and uncovering shortcomings in public government in Whiteside, Lee and Ogle counties. Whether it was the city council, county board, township meetings, park districts, fire departments, sheriff’s office, etc., Giuliani demonstrated why newspapers are so vital to the citizenry. Had he not investigated and put into print all of the

questionable practices and abuses by elected officials and governmental employees, the general public would likely have no knowledge of their existence. The fact that Giuliani was the one usually pointing out these shortcomings demonstrates the lack of responsiveness and just plain ignorance by governmental bodies. That’s something newspapers have been doing for centuries and will continue to do, as long as they remain financially viable. Without newspapers as watchdogs over the public trust, I shudder to think of who would be an advocate for how tax dollars are being spent. In my 18 years of working part-time for either Sauk Valley Media or the Register Star, I’ve never done any sort of investigative reporting, such as Giuliani tackles. After reading his material, it has inspired me to be somewhat more attentive.

Are there similar abuses or questionable practices by school administrators or coaches or that needs to brought to light? Many of us on the high school sports beat are reluctant to tackle serious issues because of personality conflicts. We become too closely intertwined with the players, coaches and athletic directors and it affects our impartiality. For example, a few years ago I planned to re-visit a basketball team’s revolt against its coach and the hoopla surrounding it. It happened at Rock Falls and was front-page news in the mid 1970s. I thought it would make for interesting reading material, especially after getting perspective decades later from the parties involved. To that end, I contacted athletic director Rich Montgomery for further information and perhaps some leads. He was none too happy that I wanted to pursue this

subject and felt it would do a disservice to Rock Falls by hashing up such a controversial subject. I had a friendly relationship with Rich and because of that, I did not want to do anything to offend him. So, I dropped that idea. That’s just one of many instances over the years that I did not pursue sensitive subjects. Sports editors and reporters are dependent on athletic directors and coaches for much of what we do. Likewise, it is important for them to have good repoire with the media, a sort of symbiotic relationship. Here at Oregon, I have had the extreme pleasure of working with Vern Welp, Kip Crandall and Mike Lawton, each an outstanding athletic director. With the respect I have towards each of these men, would I be willing to that watchdog over how they run (or ran) their departments? Or, what about all the area

coaches I have became close friends with. Could I call them to task on any sort of questionable activity? And, where is the line between what I should be doing as a reporter versus what is the responsibility of the school board? Maybe something is none of my business. While I admire what Giuliani did during his tenure at SVM, I don’t know if it is in my blood to do the same because of the interpersonal relationships with not only coaches and athletic directors at various schools, but the parents and the athletes. However, if there is something in the interest of the general public that needs to be told, what about my responsibility to the readers of the newspaper? If I am to abide by all things spiritual, as this column has constantly espoused on, perhaps I should look at my motives first. Am I writing about a sensitive or controversial

Andy Colbert

subject for my own personal prestige and is undue harm being done to others because of my rush getting that “scoop�? Conversely, I am not writing about something I should be writing because of fear of what others would think of me? As always, I pray that the Spirit would guide me to a decision.

Music about Rock River Valley will be performed To kick off the Byron Forest Preserve District’s annual free Summer Concert series, a special showing of “Old River Tales� will be held inside the Jarrett Prairie Center on Sunday, June 1 at 7 p.m. “Old River Tales� is an original musical play about life around Rockford and the Rock River Valley from the frontier beginnings in

the 1830s up until 1900 as it was settled by many different ethnic groups. The play includes famous characters such as Abraham Lincoln, the warrior Black Hawk, Albert Spalding, and Jane Addams. Also included are lesser known, yet fascinating, local historical figures such as Jennie Hodgers, a young woman who fought as a Civil

War soldier by pretending to be a man, and Jacob Schweinfurth, an infamous religious cult leader. The play is packed with dates and facts, yet is full of humor to deliver the information in an interesting and entertaining format. Additional characters, the Irish, the Swedes and emancipated African American slaves represent

the many diverse populations who, while risking everything, fled to the Rockford area for a better life. The three-person cast includes Carolyn Cadigan, David Causey, and Andrew Harth with narration by Sue Crandall and Jenniel Wright. The performance also contains music, with Betsy Kaske playing a variety of instruments. The result is a

celebration of the Rockford area’s rich and diverse history. The play runs for two hours with one intermission. Between and during dramatic scenes, the performers will sing 15 well-known 19th century songs such as “Down by the Riverside,� “Rock of Ages,� and “Swing Low Sweet Chariot.� The audience will always

be encouraged to sing along with the performers. “Old River Tales� was written and directed by Rockford’s Sue Crandall and Rufus Cadigan and has been performed at Midway Village Museum, Rockford University and other Rockford area locations. The program is sponsored by Byron Bank and admission is free.

Harriet M. Fletcher Harriet Mae (Kielsmeier) Fletcher, 84, Mt. Morris, died on Thursday, May 15, 2014 at Pinecrest Community following a battle with cancer. Harriet was born May 19, 1929 in Mt.

He believed that service to others was a responsibility and that all work was honorable; both were a source of fun and pleasure. His time was never wasted. He was a Melvin Jones Fellow of the Oregon Lions Club where he started the annual Rock River Canoe Rally. He was a leader in his church, a Cub Scout Pack Master for eight years, a board member for Ogle County Habitat for Humanity and Ogle County Hospice, and a joint founder of the Fields Project and the Community Arts Legacy. At the age of 80, he and Betty led their extended family on a mission trip to Arica, Chile. In 2000 the Oregon Chamber of Commerce recognized Richard and Betty as joint Citizens of the Year. His marriage to Betty was a 65-year collaboration in parenting, entrepreneurial endeavors, and community service. Richard was never afraid of a challenge; if he thought it could be done, then he taught

himself how to do it. One interest led to another, then another, then another, from restoring a Model A Ford, to restoring a wooden canoe, to building a splitlevel log cabin, to learning to play the tuba in his 80s. He was a natural teacher who taught his children and grandchildren his values and his skills. He wanted to learn, then do and understand, and finally, share. He is survived by his beloved wife Betty, Oregon; his sister, Donna (Allan) Allers, Boise, Idaho; his children, Martha (Tim) Bohrer, Chicago, Linda (Charlie) Adams, Sheboygan Falls, Wis., and Jeffrey (Kathy) Adams, Oregon; and five grandchildren, Anna Bohrer, Chicago, Greg (Tova) Bohrer, Minneapolis, Minn., Karl Schleevogt, Appleton, Wis., Michelle Schleevogt, Chicago, and Jacob Adams, Oregon.

HOROSCOPES 2nd Week of May

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 No matter how challenging it may be, slow down and give yourself time to reflect, Aries. You’re always on the go, but it’s important to slow down every now and then. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, steer clear of added responsibilities this week, as you already have enough on your plate. Some alone time might be worth its weight in gold. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 You’re not easily overwhelmed by intense people or things, Gemini. Use this resilience to sail through a particularly challenging task that gets sent your way this week. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 There is no need to figure out all of the answers in the next few days, Cancer. If something is on your mind, then take

your time to weigh all of your options. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 It could be challenging to be playful and lighthearted this week, Leo. Take every situation seriously and give ample thought to each and every decision you must make. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Make the best of a delicate situation at work, Virgo. Although you may not be ready for more responsibility, your reaction will be noticed by your bosses. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, hold tight to your beliefs this week and don’t let anyone sway your opinion. You will serve as an example to others who bend whichever way the wind blows. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may not have all of the solutions, but rest assured that you have been moving in the right direction. An interesting conversation illuminates the situation.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 You have gained a new sense of purpose, Sagittarius, and you’re ready to put some of your plan into action. Expect a few raised eyebrows, but most people will be receptive. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you are ready for a well-deserved vacation or retreat. But you cannot run away from your responsibilities this week. Just hold out a little longer. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Your finances seem to be a constant source of aggravation, Aquarius. This week you are ready to take care of business and hammer out a foolproof budget. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, your energy level will be quite high, making it vital for you to do something productive before your stamina slows down.
