Collaborative planning key How a Kansas town rebuilt with “green� agenda

By Vinde Wells Editor Setting aside differences and preconceived ideas has made it possible for the citizens of a small city in Kansas to rebuild “green� in the wake of a devastating tornado. “It has to be a collaborative effort. We have to change how we think about sustainability,� said Bob Dixson, mayor of Greensburg, Kansas, when he spoke to a group of about 60 people at the Illinois Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyles Fair Aug. 23 at the Ogle County Fairgrounds.

Dixson was the keynote speaker at the 13th annual fair, and he brought a message of encouragement about rebuilding after a disaster and going as “green� as possible whatever the situation.

Bob Dixson, Mayor of Greensburg, Kansas

Kansas, was 95 percent destroyed on May 4, 2007 by an EF5 tornado. Eleven residents died. “In the blink of an eye your life can be changed,� Dixson said. “It didn’t matter what our socio-economic status was, we were all homeless.

We went from a tree-lined community‌.to rubble.�

The tornado packed 205 mph sustained winds and was more than a mile wide — almost as broad as the town.

Homes, businesses, schools, churches, and government buildings were all destroyed when the storm swept through in the early evening.

Dixson said he knows all too well how the loss felt. He and his wife Ann rode out the storm in the basement of their 100-plus-year-old Victorian “dream home.�

They were unhurt, but nothing was left of the house or their possessions.

Despite the devastation, he said, residents of the community were determined to rebuild their homes and city. “We were blessed with an opportunity to rebuild,� he said.

Oregon landmark sold to two local men

By Vinde Wells Editor After being on the market for several years, a downtown Oregon landmark has been sold.

Two Oregon men, Mark Gale and Kevin Wiegmann, recently purchased the National Clothing House building on the northwest corner of Washington and Fourth Streets from former U.S. Congressman Don Manzullo.

Gale said Tuesday that they plan to remodel the brick building. “We’re going to fix

it up as time allows and eventually rent it out,� he said.

The plan is to rent it as a business location.

He said they hope to restore the exterior to how it looked originally as much as possible.

Several different businesses have been located in the building over the years, the most recent being Verizon.

Gale declined to say how much they paid for the building, but a banner displayed on the front recently set the price at $89,000.

He said he and Wiegmann have not yet decided what they will do with the upper story, which is in need of extensive repairs.

Oregon Mayor Tom Stone said he is pleased that Gale and Wiegmann, who have purchased and remodeled other properties, now own the building. “I think it’s great,� he said. “This is good for the city. Small towns are struggling.�

Stone said this shows progress is being made in the city. “It is encouraging,� he said. “They do a lot of good

High Flying Granny 91-year-old tandem skydives Aug. 24

By Earleen Hinton General Manager It’s OK to scream. That was just one tip Dorothy Morris received on Sunday before jumping out of a plane over Rochelle at 14,000 feet.

Turns out the 91-year-old great grandmother didn’t need it anyway. “I forgot to scream. I was too busy looking around. I think I wanted to, but it was so thrilling I forgot,� the Mt. Morris resident said shortly after landing with her tandem skydiving instructor Paul Piccolo.

Surrounded by nearly 50 family members and friends, Morris jumped with Piccolo at the Chicagoland Skydiving Center in Rochelle on a hot and humid Sunday afternoon.

She decided to try skydiving after hearing her niece, Kathy Qualkinbush, DeKalb, talk about how much she enjoyed her “jumpsâ€?. “She kept bringing it up and finally I said ‘Ok, I will arrange it’,â€? said Qualkinbush who has made hundred of jumps. “Initially, I was surprised, but knowing her it made sense. I mean, she’s on Facebook‌I’m sure she’ll put this on too.â€?

This was not the first visit for Morris to the skydiving center.

She had watched other skydivers jump while eating at the Flight

In This Week’s Edition...

Deck Bar & Grill, located adjacent to the landing area. “I just love watching them jump,� she said. “We’ve come over for the evening meals so I’ve seen them over and over. I told Kathy I think I could do that.�

After signing the necessary pre-form jumps at the registration desk, Morris made her way into a nearby room where she watched a video about her upcoming experience.

One of the tips encouraged screaming because “it actually helps� combat the anxiety.

Another urged jumpers to let their jumping partner know if they felt nauseated so the professional could “take evasive action� and Paul Piccolo, chief instructor at the Chicagoland Skydiving Center, checks avoid any splash back.

Greensburg “blessed� with opportunity to rebuild From A1 “We developed a long term plan and came back together as a community at those meetings,� he said. “The meetings restored hope.�

Elected mayor a year after the tornado, Dixson said he has to change his mindset when “green and sustainable� was first discussed. “I just cringed,� he said with a grin.

Dixson said he began to realize that “green and sustainable� really means using what you have, much like his ancestors had. “My ancestors lived in green-roofed houses called sod houses,� he said. “They dug wells and ran the water through a cooling house to cool their milk and eggs. They dug root cellars and used them to store food and for storm cellars.�

A big step in developing a more “green� community, he said, is to first identify the problems.

While Greensburg’s

problem was obvious, each community will be different. “It could be blighted areas, old infrastructure, or budgetary,� he said.

Dixson drew a laugh when he pointed out that all communities trying to plan will face opposition from “CAVE — Citizens Against Virtually Everything.�

He urged listeners to build for the future. “What do you want your community to look like in 100 years?� he asked. “It’s not about us. Long term is not three to five years.�

Since the tornado, Greensburg has seen the rebuilding of environmentallyfriendly homes, businesses, and municipal buildings.

The first things to be rebuilt were the water tower and electrical system. “That showed the community that the city leaders were committed,�

Dixson said.

The city council has mandated that all municipal

buildings but meet LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) standards.

The city now has its own wind farm with 10 turbines. “We realized that the actual wind that blew us away could be the wind that powered our town,� Dixson said. “We are our own utility.�

While the LEED

standards are encouraged for all structures, they are not required for homes or privately-owned buildings.

However, residents have embraced the concept, and the average home is seeing a 45 percent energy savings; some as much as 85 percent. “Don’t get the idea that it has to come out of an architectural magazine to be

an energy efficient home,�

Dixson said.

Homes have a variety of energy sources including geothermal, solar, and wind.

Some still us fossil fuels. “Everybody built as green as they could with the green they had,� he quipped.

Not everything is brand new, Dixson said explaining that the new city hall was

built with some materials pulled from the rubble.

Buildings that weren’t destroyed were rehabbed to be “greener.� “The greenest, most sustainable building in the world is the one that’s already built,� he said. “I’m irritated when we build something with planned obsolescence and tear it down in 30 years.�

Police seek information about bank hold-up in Davis Junction FBI investigating Aug. 23 robbery

By Vinde Wells Editor Police are seeking information about a bank robbery Aug. 23 in Davis Junction.

Ogle County Sheriff’s

Police said a white male robbed the Byron Bank branch at the intersection of Ill. 72 and 251 around 11:30 a.m.

The police report said the suspect handed the teller a note and implied that he had a weapon.

He obtained an undisclosed amount of money and fled the scene in a small silver vehicle

headed east on Ill. 72.

The Illinois State Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation are assisting in the investigation.

Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn said in a text message on Aug. 25 that he believes the FBI has taken over the investigation.

Anyone with information may contact the sheriff’s

department detective division at 815-732-6666 or Ogle County Crime Stoppers at 888-228-4488.

The last bank robberies in the area occurred more than eight years ago when a robber held up German American State Bank in German Valley twice in just a few days.

Shaun P. Hille, then 25, Rockford, was arrested

April 20, 2006, shortly after he robbed the bank for the second time.

Bank employees recognized him from the first robbery 13 days earlier on April 7, 2006.

That investigation was also handled by the FBI. A suspect, who was not captured, attempted to rob the Holcomb State Bank in

Holcomb on Jan. 27, 2010.

He tried to enter the bank by following an employee who was coming to work through a back door. However, the door closed too quickly, thwarting the attempt.

Two days earlier a car of the same description as the suspect’s was seen near the Byron Bank’s branch at Davis Junction.

City officials say burned restaurant demolition is in the offing

Early deadlines for paper

a burned out restaurant is getting closer. “I just got off the phone with the investigator for the insurance company,�

DeHaan said. “It certainly is an eyesore and the fire investigation is complete.�

City officials have been fielding complaints for several months about the ruins that still remain after Whiskey’s River Smokehouse, 123 N. Second St., Oregon, burned on March 16.

Early deadlines will be in effect for the Sept. 4 edition of the Oregon Republican Reporter.

The deadline for news items and photos is 4 p.m.

Thursday, Aug. 28.

The office will be closed on Monday, Sept. 1 in observance of Labor Day. Normal hours will resume Tuesday, Sept. 2.

An eye exam is a good idea, especially if things are starting to look a little fuzzy around the edges.

In late July, both DeHaan and Mayor Tom Stone said the insurance company, Cincinnati Financial, was still investigating and had not yet approved the demolition.

DeHaan said Tuesday that he will contact the owner of the property, Kevin Wedel, to check the status of the demolition. “This should be the last of the red tape,� he said. “It is ready for a payout. All the

owner needs to do is submit a claim for demolition.� “Can we put him on a short leash with this?� asked Commissioner Patrick Weisner.

Members of the council agreed and said they have all heard comments from residents about the building.

The exact cause of the fire was never determined, but it was ruled accidental by investigators from the Office

of the State Fire Marshal.

Officials determined that the fire started in the basement.

Wedel, who lived in the upstairs apartment, was not at home when the fire occurred.

The restaurant, which was near the Oregon Fire Station, had been closed for some time.

Firefighters from eight departments battled the blaze.

Chana man arrested for burglary A Chana man was arrested Aug. 14 for breaking into a business north of Oregon.

Harrison R. Bishop, 18, Chana, was arrested for the Feb. 3 burglary of Silo Antiques, located at 1490 N.

Ill. 2.

According to an Ogle County Sheriff’s Department news release received Aug. 25, bishop forced entry into the business and took items from inside.

More items were recovered following the arrest, the news release said.

Bishop was being held in the Ogle County Jail pending a court appearance.

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.

No PBJ for two Forrestville Valley grade schools

By Vinde Wells Editor Mom’s old standby peanutbutter sandwich is no longer welcome at two local elementary schools — even if it’s part of a sack lunch from home.

Forrestville Valley Superintendent Sheri Smith told the school board Aug. 20 that peanuts and all nuts that grow on trees are banned this year at Forreston and German Valley Grade Schools.

She said that decision was made because seven elementary students, including

her own child, have allergies to peanuts.

Smith said a letter has been sent home to parents informing them of the policy.

The letter, from elementary principal Travis Heinz, read that if a student brings a nut product, even in a lunch or snack from home, the item will be taken away, placed in a plastic bag, and sent back home.

A reminder label will be placed on the bag saying “FGS/GVGS are nut free schools, please enjoy this at home.”

Smith said Aug. 22 that

if the item bagged is part of a lunch, the student will be given food from the cafeteria to replace it.

She said the junior high and high schools aren’t included in the ban because no students there have nut allergies.

In the past, she said, the schools notified parents, asking them not to sent nut products, only when a student in their child’s classroom had a nut allergy.

“It’s becoming more widespread so it’s just easier to implement school-wide,” Smith said.

The Aug. 29 menu for

German Valley Grade School still listed a peanut butter and jelly sandwich last Friday, but Smith said she would check into that.

“We aren’t serving peanuts,” she said.

The menu was changed to “cook’s choice” later that day.

More information about the policy is available on the school website at www. fvvsd221.org.

Officials at Oregon and Polo schools also have procedures in place to protect students with nut and other food allergies.

Oregon Superintendent

Tom Mahoney said an area is set aside in the cafeteria for students who suffer from peanut allergies.

He said parents are alerted when their child is riding a bus or in a classroom with a child who is allergic to nuts.

In those cases, he said parents are asked not to send food containing nuts in their children’s lunches or snacks.

“We cannot control what students bring in a lunch, but we do ask for parents’ cooperation,” Mahoney said.

Polo Elementary Principal Melydi Huyett said a similar policy is in place there.

She said the school nurse compiles a confidential list of students with peanut allergies, which is given to teachers and the cafeteria staff.

Parents are also asked not to bring treats containing peanuts for parties at school if a child in the classroom is allergic.

“We don’t serve peanuts, and our cafeteria workers are trained in crosscontamination,” she said.

All three school districts have policies in place to deal with food allergies and any emergencies that might arise from them.

Bemis Company started out by selling flour sacks 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 one of a series of the articles he has written.

By Otto Dick The Bemis Company, Inc. was founded in 1858 by Judson Bemis.

Today the company manufactures a variety of food and medical packaging products.

In 1858 Bemis manufactured printed cotton bags for food products.

Bemis Company is a multinational company with net sales over 5.3 billion dollars, operating at 78 facilities in 12 countries.

Their headquarters is located at Neenah, Wis. In

2011 they employed 20,165 people.

Founder Judson Moss Bemis was born May 18, 1833 and moved with his family to Illinois when he was five in 1838.

Later Judson wrote “toward the close of a bleak afternoon during the autumn of 1838, three covered wagons slowly approached their destination in the Rock River country of northwestern Illinois, a place near Daysville, in Ogle County, known as Lighthouse Point, a hundred miles from Chicago.

The little caravan consisted of two families; Henry and Nancy Farwell and their six children, occupying two of the wagons; and Stephen and Miriam Bemis with their three children, occupying a third wagon. The first night here they sleep in their

covered wagons because a drove of lean razor back swine occupied their 20 by 20 feet cabin.”

Judson wrote about his time in Ogle County. “The blessedness of drudgery, fishing and hunting—the days of the tallow dip and fine type—primitive farming methods—his father Stephen became a Forty-Niner.”

Judson was 16 years when his father left for the

California gold fields.

His father searched for three years and arrived home penniless.

During this time Judson worked on various farms in the area during the summer and attended Mt. Morris Academy during the winter.

At this time Chicago was a magnet that attracted ambitious farm boys in an attempt to rise above the drudgery of the farm.

Judson’s cousins, Charles, John and Simeon Farwell, as well as his brother, Stephen Allen Bemis, left the farms and worked in Chicago.

At 19 years of age Judson traveled to Rockford to take the Chicago and Galena Union Railroad to Chicago.

He bought a second-class ticket in order to have a dollar or two in his pocket when he reached Chicago.

In Chicago Judson was offered a position as a clerk held by his older brother Allen working for Hale and Company, agents for Troy and Western shipping line.

He worked six days a week for a year and his total income was $250 as a clerk.

He became involved in several successful real estate ventures.

With the money he earned he also invested in a small

grocery and his own drayage business.

Judson decided that manufacturing something for general use gave him a better chance for a profit than buying and selling.

He became interested in bags because his cousin, Simeon, had a successful plant in Chicago.

After looking for cities where he could establish his business he chose St. Louis.

Judson’s first task in St. Louis was to find a building to house the machinery his cousin, Simeon Farwell, was shipping to him from Chicago.

His business was manufacturing flour sacks.

Later Judson printed all kinds of patterns on the sacks which were then used for dresses, etc.

The company prospered and Edward J. Brown, a second cousin of Judson’s, became an equal partner.

We have several of these printed flour sacks at the historical society.

The success and expansion of Bemis Inc. will be included in the next two articles.

Eventually Judson became very successful like his cousins John and Charles Farwell.

Judson’s middle name was Farwell named after his mother’s maiden name.

Golf for Wounded Warriors Silver Ridge Golf Course, Oregon, will hold a golf scramble to support the Wounded Warriors Project on Saturday, Aug. 30.

After the golf outing, Oregon VFW Post 8739 is holding a Hole In One Putting Contest at

the same golf course at about 1 p.m. at the putting course.

The cost of the contest will be $2 per ball or three for $5.

Those who get the largest number of golf balls in the short holes will then have a chance to putt at the longest

hole.

The winner will get a set of golf clubs and a golf bag.

The purpose of this contest is to help money for the renovation of the military memorial at the Ogle County Courthouse.

Switchback to perform Aug. 29 Fans of the popular Fifth Friday Music Shows at the historic H.I. Lincoln Building in Franklin Grove will hear Switchback, on Friday, Aug. 29. Two shows are scheduled, at 7 and 9 p.m.

Marty McCormack and Brian FitzGerald are known in North America, Ireland, and Italy. They will provide an evening of American Roots blended with Celtic Soul.

Playing over 200 engagements a year, Switchback has shared the stage with artists as diverse as The Moody Blues, Gaelic Storm, Leon Russell, and Lee Greenwood.

Equally at home in giant 15,000 seat stadiums or in intimate settings like Nashville’s Bluebird Café or Franklin Grove’s historic H.I. Lincoln Building, Switchback can connect with everyone who loves Irish music.

Volunteers are needed in the Oregon and Byron areas to help remove waste from the river.

Boaters, river land owners, Scout groups and other service organizations are needed to help pick up trash, as well as sort the waste and recyclables.

Student organizations can earn community service hours by helping out.

For this year’s event, organizers are seeking more involvement from motorboat, canoe, and kayak owners because they have better access to areas of the river which cannot be reached from the shoreline.

Mark Nehrkorn, section coordinator for the Oregon area stated, “The Rock River is such a beautiful asset that makes Ogle County and the Oregon area unique.

“We need to do what we can to protect and preserve it. The Rock River Sweep is a perfect opportunity to bring people together to do just that.”

With help from RockRiverSweep.org, the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department, the Oregon Park District, the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department, and American Rivers, the Oregon Area

Rock River Sweep will supply a limited number of gloves, trash bags, bug spray, and T-shirts.

Water and snacks will be available as well.

Participants are encouraged to wear long sleeves, long pants, and old shoes, and to bring a reusable water bottle to the event which can be refilled to reduce waste.

Last year, over 40 volunteers participated in the Oregon area sweep and collected around half a ton of waste which was sorted and recycled or disposed of properly.

For more information, contact Steve Rypkema at 815-732-4020 or srypkema@ oglecounty.org Rock River Sweep.org is a grass roots, not-for-profit organization founded in 2008 by Frank Masterman, and dedicated to preserving the health and ecosystem of the Rock River and its tributaries in Wisconsin and Illinois by partnering the communities along its banks into a unified, volunteer effort of river revitalization and annual clean-ups.

For more information visit www.rockriversweep.org, or on Facebook: Rock River Sweep.org.

Volunteers needed for sweep

Marty McCormack and Brian FitzGerald, known throughout North America, Ireland, and Italy as Switchback, bring their unique musical blend of American Roots blended with Celtic Soul to Franklin Grove’s historic H.I. Lincoln Building for two special Fifth Friday shows on August 29.

Tickets are available for a $10 donation by calling the H.I. Lincoln building at 815456-3030 daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., on Sundays from noon to 4 p.m., or stop by the H.I. Lincoln building during

the same hours.

Tickets may be available at the door, but seating is limited. Previous Switchback appearances have sold out in advance.

The Sixth Annual Rock River Sweep will be held on Saturday, Sept. 6.

The Oregon Area Rock River Sweep will be from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Checkin will begin at 7:30 a.m. at the intersection of North Second Street and Franklin Street (Kiwanis Park) behind Conover Square.

The group will clean up a seven-mile stretch of the river between Lowden State Park and Castle Rock State Park.

This event is an effort by many groups and communities along the Rock River from the Horicon Marsh in Wisconsin to the confluence with the Mississippi River in Rock Island, to clean up sections of the Rock River.

The Byron Area Sweep will be coordinated by Mike Challis and supported by the Byron Forest Preserve.

Volunteers for this area should meet at 10 a.m. at the park on River Road across from the Byron Forest Preserve entrance.

Those with canoes will be paddling up and downstream from there. Others will be cleaning up the shores by foot. Contact Challis at gardenermike@gmail.com for more information.

Natural Area, highlighting some of the oldest rock formations in Illinois.

The walk will begin at the Franklin Creek Grist Mill

parking lot, 1893 Twist Rd., Franklin Grove.

For information go to www.franklincreekgristmill. com.

Volunteers are needed to fill the position of Section Coordinator for the Sixth Annual Rock River Sweep, to be held on Saturday, Sept.

6.

Organizations, groups, clubs, businesses, and individuals are encouraged to volunteer in each of the communities along the Rock River.

Section Coordinators are currently planning clean-ups in the Horicon and Watertown areas of Wisconsin, and in the Rockton, Roscoe, Machesney Park, Loves Park, Rockford, Byron, and Oregon areas of Illinois.

However, many other areas along the Rock are in need of coordinators to plan local clean-ups.

The group is hoping to have more sections of the river cleaned up this year to continue to improve the quality of this beautiful river.

Larger communities may require multiple sub-sections and coordinators to head up each sub-section.

Some of the duties of the

Section Coordinator are as follows: Work with RockRiverSweep.org organizers to assure a uniform and successful clean-up.

Acquire clean-up supplies and other support from local businesses, (T-shirts, gloves, flyers, waste disposal, etc).

Work with local media to recruit volunteers for their section for the clean-up day.

Work with neighboring section coordinators to prevent overlapping of sections.

Use the “Organizer’s Handbook” (provided by RockRiverSweep.org) to assure a successful clean-up effort.

Register their section of the Rock River Sweep with RockRiverSweep.org and with American Rivers.

AmericanRivers.org may supply free trash bags if registered in advance.

Recruit, assemble, and register volunteers for the event and assign areas to clean-up.

Coordinate ‘post-clean-

up’ recyclable-sort and trash disposal.

Arrange for proper disposal or recycling of all materials collected.

Report clean-up results to RockRiverSweep. org organizers and American Rivers.

Section coordinators will be planning and conducting the clean-up in their local section, but will be doing it as part of a much larger group.

Limited grant funds of up to $100 per clean-up section are available from RockRiverSweep.org to cover costs such as trash bags, gloves, and waste disposal costs.

For more information or to register as a Section Coordinator for the 2014 Rock River Sweep, e-mail contact@rockriversweep. org, visit www. rockriversweep.org.

Visit the Facebook page at Rock River Sweep.org, or call Steve Rypkema at the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department at 815-732-4020.

Serenity Home staff takes ALS ice bucket challenge The staff of Serenity Hospice and Home, Oregon, put on their shorts and T-shirts Aug. 22 and took the ALS ice bucket challenge.

More than a dozen, including executive director Lynn Knodle, braved a dousing with ice water in memory of the patients and families afflicted with the disease who they have served. “No one can fully understand the devastating

effects of ALS [amyotrophic lateral sclerosis] more than those who are living with this disease or those who are caring for those who are living with it,� Knodle said.

The challenge took place in gardens that were planted at the Serenity Home in memory of an ALS patient who spent many months being cared for and loved by the staff.

The staff members stood in a circle inside the gazebo

Ganymedes will play at Ohio Cup Festival The Oregon Ganymedes Vintage Base Ball Club will participate in the 23rd Annual Ohio Cup Vintage Base Ball Festival over the 2014 Labor Day weekend Aug. 30 and 31 in Columbus, Ohio.

This is the first time that the Oregon Ganymedes will attend this national event which is the largest gathering of vintage base ball clubs in America. More than 30 teams are representing nine states — New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri and Kansas.

The Ganymedes will be playing six 1860s rules games at the two-day festival against some of the best vintage base ball clubs in the country.

All the teams at the festival wear authentic wool 1860s era uniforms and play without the use of gloves or other protective equipment, as was the custom during the early years of the game.

The Oregon Ganymedes are an educatioal outreach program of the Chana School Museum. This is the team’s 10th anniversary season of playing 1860s rules base ball (it was two words then).

Help raise funds for memorial Oregon American Legion Post 97 and VFW Post 8739 will sponsor a Dine to Make Difference Pizza Night on Friday, Aug. 29 at three local restaurants.

The event is a fundraiser for the restoration of the Military Memorial on the north side of the Ogle County Courthouse lawn.

The two organizations are working together to raise $45,000 to restore the memorial and add an American flag, a bronze soldier statue, the Fallen Soldier’s Tribute, and a memorial plaque for Ogle County soldiers killed in the line of duty in Iraq and Afgahnistan.

Alfano’s Pizzeria & Italian Restaurant, Pizza Hut, and Father & Son Pizza, all in Oregon, are participating by donating 10 percent of their sales on Aug. 29 to the project.

Anyone who wishes to take part must present a flyer about the event when placing an order.

Flyers are available at all three participating restaurants.

and in turn were soaked with ice water before dumping a bucket on the next person in line.

Millions of dollars for ALS research have been raised nationwide and daily the amount increases significantly because of the ALS challenge.

Serenity Hospice and Home staff added $260 to the cause.

On behalf of the staff at Serenity Hospice and Home, Knodle named the staff of KSB Hospital, Dixon Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center, and Oregon Healthcare Pharmacy to take the challenge and donate to the cause.

ALS, often referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease,� is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.

Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body.

The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to death.

Student design selected for event Holly Scholl, a junior at Augustana College, Rock Island, has competed in and won a major design competition.

Scholl, a 2012 Polo Community High School graduate, is the daughter of Mark and Kathy Scholl, Polo.

Holly is currently majoring in graphic design.

Last spring, the Children’s Art and Preservation Association(CAPA), Morrison, was looking for a new and more trendy design for their largely popular event, Paint the Town.

Two thousand six-inch squares are painted with creative artwork on Main Street by children and painters of all ages during Paint the Town, held annually

in Morrison.

This essentially turns Main Street into one large canvas.

For the past 15 years, Polo high schoolers have joined forces with the Morrison high schoolers in painting 30 window fronts of downtown businesses.

Scholl was one of the students who went with her art teacher, Jamie Harmon, and classmates for her four years of high school to participate.

The event held a place in her heart as a tradition.

Since the event’s T-shirt design can be one of the most difficult items for the CAPA board to decide upon, they decided a design competition would be the route to go.

With many entries, Scholl’s

vibrant design was chosen as the winner. “We just knew the children and children at heart would gravitate towards this glowing design,� said Barb Bees, president of the CAPA Board.

Harmon is a member of the CAPA board, and she knew from the start that Scholl had what it took to compete against many professional artists in the same field. “Holly was one of my many stand-out art students throughout high school, and as soon as I knew the board was offering up a competition, I was sure she was the gal for the job. She has a creative head on her shoulders and I am positive she will excel in the career she has chosen.

This is just the start of what

we will see from Ms. Scholl’s talents.�

Another artist, Amanda Cook, a 1997 Morrison graduate, will head up the design for the Volunteer and Sponsor shirts for this event as well.

Paint the Town is in its 20th year. Starting way back in 1994, the event has grown from 350 squares to 2000 squares.

The event will be held on Saturday, Sept. 20.

The registration fee of $8 includes the six-inch square, a T-shirt designed by Scholl, paints, brushes and free entertainment all day long.

Anyone interested in participating, should visit www.paintthetownmorrison. com.

Vedra Scramble will be held Sept. 13 The 18th annual Vedra Scramble for Education will be held Saturday, Sept. 13 at the Lake Carroll Golf Course, Lake Carroll.

Registration for the event will begin at 11 a.m. and a shot gun start will be at 12 p.m. Following 18 holes of

golf will be a steak dinner at 6 p.m.

The Vedra Scramble is the major fundraiser for the Forrestville Valley School Foundation, which plays a role in enhancing of the educational programs of the Forrestville Valley Schools.

The golfing event started in 1996 in memory of the late Doug Vedra, former Forrestville Valley School Board president and athletic booster.

The majority of net income from the event comes from sponsor donations and golf

contributions, and the event is a day of fun to raise money for a valuable cause.

For further information please call Forreston State Bank at 815-938-3121 or the Forrestville Valley School District at 815-938-2036

Tootsie Roll Drive set The 45th annual Knights of Columbus Tootsie Roll Drive in Oregon and Mt. Morris will be held Friday, Sept. 12 and Saturday, Sept. 13.

Last year $5,300 was raised by members of Oregon Council 1092 with help from their families and friends.

Eight area businesses also helped with the purchase of candy.

The funds raised help support Knights of Columbus

programs in Illinois, such as Special Olympics.

Local organizations who received more than $1,470 each were Village of Progress, the Oregon School District Special Education Program, and Stouffer Terrace. “I want to thank the people in Oregon and Mt. Morris for their generous support again this year,� said Dave Starke, Tootsie Roll Chairman.

proceeds go to the Miss Mal scholarship.

So if you would like Santa to bring some holiday cheer, give him a call at 815-4403651.

turned mall.

The Route 64 and Route 2 intersection downtown continues to hinder safe traffic flow and commerce.

The dam area still seems as dangerous as ever without more aggressive safety precautions implemented.

The sheriff’s tow-fund audit (why not $1,000 per tow?) goes on and so does the spending-spree by the Ogle County Board.

The new $4.2 million sheriff’s office seemed to get railroaded through with little transparency.

Let’s hold our leaders accountable!

Thanks again to Oregon Ambulance Service!

Sincerely, Chris Corcoran Mt. Morris

Public Voice Cardinal Pride Day had 162 participants Dear Editor, Meridian CUSD 223 would like to express its deepest gratitude to the students, staff, and community that participated in our inaugural Cardinal Pride Day. There were over 162 participants that sacrificed their time and effort in helping the district complete important projects for the start of the school year.

Some of the projects included: weeding and mulching of flower beds; painting of hallways, public areas, and exterior facilities; general clean-up and maintenance; and removal of over 6,400 pounds of scrap metal.

We are very fortunate to have a community that cares how their buildings look and function as we continue to provide a first-class education and environment for our students.

Meridian CUSD 223 also had local businesses donate supplies, volunteers, and equipment to complete these tasks.

Thank you to the businesses and volunteers who pitched in as well as our own Boosters who donated lunch. Thank you again and Go Cardinals!!

Sincerely, P.J. Caposey Superintendent Meridian School District

Thrift shop helps Serenity Hospice and Home

Dear Editor, Angel Treasures Resale Shop is owned and operated

by Oregon-based Serenity Hospice and Home.

All proceeds above and

beyond operating expenses benefit the work of Serenity Hospice and Home.

However, that is not where the mission of Angel Treasures Resale Shop ends.

The store is currently collaborating with the Village of Progress on a textile recycling operation that benefits both not-forprofit organizations, as well as third world countries.

Additionally, we strive to be beneficial to our local communities.

We have given books and stuffed animals to a local agency that supports children in crisis.

We have provided snow pants, hats, and gloves to local area schools so our local children stay warm and healthy.

Recently, several pairs of shoes were sent with a local young missionary to show our support for her good works.

We supply Bingo prizes to several of our nursing facilities and senior centers to support their work with our aging adults.

We host our annual egg hunt and color contests to engage our local children with safe, fun activities.

Toys and clothing have been supplied to many needy families at the holidays, or when a tragedy, such as a fire, occurs.

We have assisted seniors in obtaining free medical equipment such as walkers, commodes, shower chairs, and canes, often delivering right to their doors.

We have supplied books for book days at local schools and t-shirts to a local preschool to be used as superhero capes.

When you volunteer at Angel Treasures you are helping so many facets of our local community as well as well as those in need in third world countries.

Volunteer opportunities are available six days a week

from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.

You can help as little or as much as you like, from a couple hours a week to a couple hours a month.

If you are interested in helping us help others, please contact Pam Salvador-Gould atpams-g@ serenityhospiceandhome.org or call 815-732-2499.

Dear Editor, Recently while in Oregon, I needed emergency medical care and an ambulance ride to the hospital.

I am thankful the new ambulance service was at the Fire Department.

I appreciated their professionalism in my time of need and so would you.

I ask that you please vote Yes in support of the Oregon Ambulance Service referendum coming up in April.

No ambulance service is not an option! Did you know that the city did nothing to help secure ambulance service for its citizens?

Marcos hope to break through and make playoffs

By Chris Johnson Reporter

Coming off a season where they just missed the playoffs, the Polo Marcos look to push through the barrier to play in

the postseason this year.

Coach Andrew Hofer knows his team has the talent to improve on the 4-5 record.

“Our senior class took lumps but they have worked hard each year,” said Hofer.

“We also have a solid group of underclassman ready to help.”

Last season the Marcos were in every game but some of them slipped away late in the game.

“They were in close games last season and we are ready to work hard this year,” said Hofer. “Last year we were learning how to win. I think the youth will help us get this year. We are ready for the next step.”

The Marcos are part of the Northwest Upstate Illini Conference (NUIC) and competition will be tough every week.

“Record wise you never know what’s going to happen,” said Hofer. “Our conference has no cupcakes and we need to be ready.”

East Dubuque will visit Polo to open the season on Friday, Aug. 29.

“They are a good program,” said Hofer. “It makes for a good springboard for the season if we pick up a win in this tough matchup.”

Winning close games to be key for Hawks in 2014 Hawks open the season Aug. 29 vs. Johnsburg

By Andy Colbert Reporter Since romping through the regular season on its way to the semifinals in 2008, the Oregon football team hasn’t had it so easy in recent years.

The key to making the playoffs has been a remarkable ability to win close games.

In games decided by seven points or less that time frame, Oregon has won 10 and lost five. The only year they did not win any was a 2-7 record in 2012. The other four years they snuck into the postseason at 5-4 or 6-3.

“In our conference, the balance is so deep,” coach John Bothe said. “You just have to anticipate so many 1-touchdown games. It’s critical for us to win them.”

Last year, the Hawks won four games in that matter, advancing to the secondround of the playoffs. Can this year’s squad follow suit?

One of those standouts from last year is quick-hitting fullback and free safety Garrett Rude.

“He came on strong at fullback and also had a good year on defense,” Bothe said.

The leader in the line will be returning starter Frank Lung, a 6-0, 215-pound senior. Lung will line up at center and defensive end.

“He’ll be our top lineman,” Bothe said.

Another force up front will be 300-pound junior Matt Crandall. Crandall especially made a name for himself in the playoff win over Wilmington.

“He’s had some injuries in the past, but is rounding in to shape,” Bothe said.

Good things are expected from senior Chris Jordan at the cornerback and wingback spots.

“We expect him to make big plays on defense and he is a good receiver coming out of the backfield,” Bothe said.

Other returning starters are Lucas Carr (5-8, 200 pounds) at offensive guard and Josh Cook (6-0, 210) at end.

“Josh has good movement on defense and will play linebacker. Lucas will be the

pulling guard and probably only play on offense,” Bothe said.

David Labash (6-0, 215), Bryce Noone (6-4, 230) and Nester Anaya (5-9, 230) will add strength to the line.

Noone should be the right tackle on offense and Labash will see action both ways.

“We have a little bigger line than before,” Bothe said.

“We’re physical and should give people trouble. The question is – can they come off the ball?”

That’s one factor that helped the Hawk team surpass expectations in 2013.

Perhaps the biggest challenge coming into this season is replacing 3-year starter at quarterback, Tyler Blume. The clear-cut choice is Jerrick Orsted, a 6-4, 175-pound junior.

“He’s real steady and smooth. It’s obvious he has athletic ability,” Bothe said.

“I see him growing into the position.”

The roster doesn’t list a back-up, but if need be, junior Jensen Melville or sophomore signal-caller Caid Chenoweth can take snaps. Rude was the starting quarterback for the

sophomores two years ago.

Junior Brayton Finch (61, 175) has been looking good at tailback and outside linebacker.

Sophomore Caleb Mennen had an impressive performance in the Red-White scrimmage and may be moved up to the varsity as a running back and

linebacker.

“As the year goes on, we’ll probably look at more sophomores,” said Bothe (101-67), who has his smallest varsity team in 17 years, with only 21 players.

Maverik Good and John Ghibellini are two juniors that were called up during

the 2013 playoff run and will see plenty of playing time.

Another junior, Cole Burke, will be the long snapper and play nose guard.

“The key for us is staying healthy,” Bothe said. “If we lose one person, it’s like losing two positions because of guys playing both ways.”

Laxner new coach for OHS soccer

By Andy Colbert Reporter There’s a new face on the sidelines for the Oregon soccer program.

Justyn Laxner takes over from Ben Thomas as head coach. Assisting him will be Erin McMasters.

Last year, Laxner and McMasters coached at Stillman Valley. McMasters coached the Stillman Valley girls team in the spring.

When the Oregon position came open, McMasters, an OHS teacher and assistant boys soccer coach, alerted Laxner to it.

“I got a call from Mike

Lawton and was offered the job after interviewing,” said Laxner, who is a teacher’s aide at DLR in Mt. Morris.

Laxner has local ties, graduating from Byron in 2007 and playing four years of soccer as a defender for the Tigers.

“Soccer’s been a big part of my life growing up,” Laxner said. “I’ve been aching all summer to get started.”

Coming from Stillman and Byron, Laxner sees many similarities with Oregon.

“There’s a lot of parental support and the Oregon soccer club is helpful,” Laxner said.

Laxner will be the third

coach in four years at Oregon.

Those previous three years, the Hawks were 11-8-2, 174-2 and 11-8-3 under Tim Krehl and Thomas.

Leading the way for the Hawks will be junior Jarrett Reynolds, a 3-year varsity player. He will be the center mid-fielder.

“He understands the game and knows to make runs and when to stay back,” Laxner said.

Another offensive stalwart Laxner is counting on is senior Jerome Baldwin.

Baldwin will line up as a striker at left forward.

“He’s very dedicated to the sport,” Laxner said.

Other key contributors on offense will be forward Konnor Wilson and midfielder Tony Guajardo.

“Konner has the speed to get up and make runs,” Laxner said.

Senior Adam Weller and junior Trey Wilson will anchor the defense.

“Those two know how each other plays,” Laxner said.

Laxner sees underclassmen Jonathan Prose and Kaden Humphrey as fitting in.

“Our goal is to win the conference,” Laxner said.

“We’ll be in it with Byron, Stillman and Winnebago. I don’t know anything about (new member) Dixon.”

Volleyball has high hopes for 2014 Three former Lady Hawks

Ice Bucket Challenges at Red & White Night Oregon High School’s Red & White Night had at least two “Ice Bucket Challenges”. Above, Oregon High School Cheerleading Coach Danielle Jackson takes the challenge as Jon Champion does the dousing to the delight of Ali Scheidecker pictured at right. The coach challenged all the cheerleaders and their parents to take the challenge. At right, Nancy Crandall, wife of principal Kip Crandall and mother of a Matt Crandall, a Hawk football player, was given the fire hose from an Oregon fireman to complete her version of the challenge to the varsity football team after their scrimmage. The challenges, spread by social media, are meant to increase awareness about ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and raise money to combat the disease, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

Sports Column Ogle football teams made playoffs in 2006

By Andy Colbert Reporter In the 40 years that the IHSA has contested the football state playoffs, 2006 was the only time that every school in Ogle County made the post season. Could 2014 be the second time that this occurs?

Stillman Valley, Rochelle and Forreston appear to be locks, while Oregon, Polo and Byron have better than average chances to do the same.

How good Stillman Valley is can best be asked by asking how good its program is?

There is a difference between the year-to-year talents of

a team versus an overall program.

Last year, SV’s talent was on par or less than virtually every team they faced from the first playoff round on.

Furthermore, of the six state finalists that Mike Lalor has coached, the 2013 version was easily the least talented.

So how were the Cardinals able to win the state title?

Because that program has an intangible that most other teams don’t. They play tremendously in pressurepacked situations and find ways to win games.

It’s as much mental as physical for them.

SV, who has a hard time finding teams to play them, gets a great test in the first week against Chicago Phillips. Last year, Phillips beat the No. 1 seed in the 4A playoffs and follows the Stillman game by playing

suburban powers Mundelein Carmel and Naperville North the next two weeks.

Rochelle gets a scheduling break by joining a revamped version of the North Illinois Big 12, which is really only 10 teams, now that Dixon and Streator are gone. Instead of being in a division with powerhouses Kaneland, Sycamore and Morris, the Hubs move to the west side with gentler, softer opponents.

Look for Rochelle to sweep division foes Sterling, Ottawa and Lasale-Peru and battle with long-time rival Geneseo for the conference title. This year marks the first time since 1981 that Rochelle and Geneseo have been in the same conference division for football.

Forreston has been on a roll as of late and that success should continue into this

year. The main concern for Forreston is being part of the toughest 1A conference in the state.

That’s not conjecture. That can be documented by the looking at the results of the playoffs for the past decade or so.

As I covered Forreston’s playoff run of 2012, I remember being impressed with the size and talent of the sophomores, especially Robert DeVries, and wondering if they would be state-championship caliber in a couple years.

Well, that time is now and it will be quite interesting to see how things shake out between EPC, Le-Win, Galena and Forreston in the NUIC. Polo is somewhat in the same situation on their side of the conference, though not as drastically at the top. That

first game with East Dubuque will say a lot on where the Marcos stand.

A win would be huge and really set the tone for the rest of the season. Even with a loss, Polo has the potential to go 6-3.

There is a much-ballyhooed junior class at Polo that many in that town are hoping can take the team back to the glory days of Marco football.

This team is a year away, but it might as well get some playoff familiarity by making a post-season run this fall.

Byron is another program trying to regain its status as a grid stalwart. I don’t subscribe to the notion of bad luck, but can say that Byron has caught more than share of bad breaks recently.

They had 7-point heartbreaking losses to conference champ Winnebago and also Stillman.

Oregon nipped the Tigers by three points.

Two big positives for the upcoming season are: a.) no more 4-hour bus rides to Nekooska, Wis. for a nonconference game, b.) goodsized linemen.

With so many variables, it is hard to say where Oregon will finish. As mentioned earlier, the first three weeks

Three species will be protected under new state law The gray wolf, American black bear, and mountain lion (cougar) will come under the protection of the Illinois Wildlife Code on Jan. 1, Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) Director Marc Miller announced Monday.

Senate Bill 3049, signed

by Gov. Pat Quinn, gives the IDNR the authority to manage these species for the protection of both wildlife and public safety.

All three species were present when settlers arrived in Illinois, but were all but gone from the state by the mid-1800s.

Due to improved legal protections and habitat restoration, these species are returning to some of their former range in the eastern United States.

“Wolves, mountain lions, and black bears have been absent from Illinois for more than 150 years. As the populations of these animals continue to grow, we expect to see occasional individuals dispersing from their current

ranges into Illinois,” Miller said. “I want to thank Governor Quinn and bill sponsors Sen. Linda Holmes and Rep. Kelly Cassidy for their leadership. This law gives the department the ability to create long-term management goals and to draft response protocols on managing human-wildlife conflicts with these three species.”

SB 3049 allows landowners to take a black bear or mountain lion if there is an imminent threat to lives and property.

The law also allows landowners to apply for a nuisance permit to remove an animal that is not an immediate threat.

The gray wolf already receives legal protection in Illinois from both the U.S. and Illinois Endangered Species Acts.

In these instances, endangered species law will be followed.

Due to its federal protection, rules for taking a gray wolf south of Interstate

80 are more stringent.

South of Interstate 80, gray wolves may not be taken unless they present an imminent threat to people.

Any other taking requires state and federal permits.

The gray wolf already receives legal protection in Illinois from both the U.S. and Illinois Endangered Species Acts.

In these instances, endangered species law will be followed.

Common questions about SB3049: Is Illinois encouraging the return of large predators?

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources is not actively working to restore gray wolves, American black bears, or mountain lions to Illinois.

However, IDNR recognizes that occasional individual animals are likely to make their way here.

A month-long visit to northern Illinois by a black bear in June demonstrated the benefits of cooperation among

state and local government entities in monitoring the bear, but allowing it remain a wild animal.

The passage of SB3049 is a first necessary step that allows the department to develop formal rules and protocols to manage these species.

What will IDNR do to manage wolves, bears, and mountain lions?

Right now, IDNR biologists and the Illinois Conservation Police are working together to develop protocols for addressing interactions between people and wolves, bears, and mountain lions.

Conservation Police will share this information

with local law enforcement agencies, the likely firstresponders in the event of a sighting or nuisance call.

Currently, Illinois Conservation Police officers are allowing these animals to go on their way unless they pose a threat.

What are the chances of populations of wolves, black bears, and mountain lions becoming established in Illinois?

Re-colonization by these species is possible although Illinois has relatively little suitable habitat in large enough blocks to support these animals.

According to habitat models, only about 14.7

percent of Illinois’ area is suitable for black bears, 6.6 percent for mountain lions, and 14 percent for gray wolves.

What can Illinois residents do to be prepared for encounters with these species?

Property owners can avoid encounters with wildlife by securing potential food sources, including pet food, barbecue grills, trash and other sources.

Bird feeders can be taken down temporarily in the event of a local sighting.

Lila V. Kaufman Lila V. Kaufman, 87, Oregon, died peacefully in her home along the Rock River on Friday, August 8, 2014 after a short illness.

Lila was born on June 30, 1927 on her family farm in Polo.

Her shining eyes and red hair foretold of the amazing life and legacy this feisty woman would lead.

Her stories of milking goats before school, riding horses to school, and of course her favorite story of meeting the love of her life, Bill Kaufman, her freshmen year of high school, will remain in our memories forever.

They married on April 25, 1946. Lila and Bill’s life adventures would bring her from farming in Polo and Mt. Morris, to meat shop processors, and finally to grocery store owners.

Lila’s biggest loves, next to her husband, were her family.

Lila enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

One might find her hosting a family gathering, riding bikes, playing cards, rowing on the Rock River or sitting

Lila and Bill Kaufman

on the porch viewing the Black Hawk Statue.

Lila’s life was amazing, she always said, and was grateful to God for it.

She was a treasure to everyone who knew her, a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, mother-in-law, and friend.

Lila is survived by sons, daughters, daughters-in-law,

grandchildren and greatgrandchildren who will miss her immensely.

A memorial service to celebrate her life was held on Sunday, Aug. 10 for family and close friends at her home along the river she dearly loved.

Memorials for the Pinecrest Community will be collected by the family in Lila’s name.

Clear sailing for 91-year-old Mt. Morris woman From A1 When asked if she was afraid of heights Morris smiled and responded, “Evidently not. I’ve got a lot of encouragement and support from everyone who knew I was doing this. Most of them said they wouldn’t do it, but I told them they should do it when they are 91.

“I’ve got one younger brother, but then everybody’s younger than me. I’m excited and a little nervous, but I’m ready to go,” she said bursting into a hearty laugh.

Her next step was heading to the large hangar where she was fitted into her harness under the skillful direction of Piccolo. “You are doing great,” he said while going over jump details and answering questions from her extended family.

Morris’ granddaughter Emily Severson, from Elgin, held a sign that said “Caution Flying Grandma”.

Morris had posed earlier with Emily and her daughter Lela Wissing (Emily’s mom) and Emily’s two-month-old daughter Bekka, for a fourthgeneration photo.

Dorothy and her niece Kathy, who rode along in the plane’s cockpit for support, where the first of a dozen or so people to board the plane that sported “Perfectly Good Airplane” on its side.

Morris waved to her family and friends from the airplane door.

As the plane climbed along with temperatures nearing the 90s, Morris’ younger brother and last remaining sibling, Frank Stomberg, 77, Rockford, watched. He too, was not surprised by his sister’s decision to try skydiving.

“There’s not much I can say. She has a mind of her own. If our mother Lela Mae was here today she’d say ‘wait for me’. Dorothy is cut from the same cloth,” he said.

Lela May lived to be 105, another family member pointed out.

Stomberg said his only real

concern was whether or not his sister was going to try and top this next year when she turns 92 in January.

“She read about the bucket list and I don’t know if this is it or not,” he said. “If not, it scares me on what may be next. There were 9 of us growing up and now there’s only 2 left.”

Most of the skydivers riding in the plane with Morris exited at 9,000 feet.

The plane then circled again and at 14,000 feet Michael Squires, a videographer and instructor who was filming Morris’ feat, exited the plane closely followed by Morris and Piccolo, with a bright teal parachute behind them.

Morris’ “entourage” watched from the viewing tent as their matriarch made soft spirals in the blue sky on a sunny, humid day.

Carolyn and Doreen White, two of Dorothy’s Mt. Morris buddies, held a sign that read: “It’s a Bird. It’s a Plane. It’s Dorothy!”.

Cheers could be heard as the pair landed.

“When I come in for a Dorothy Morris and her tandem skydiving instructor Paul Piccolo, navigate to the landing area. Photo by Earleen Hinton landing I really show them how to do it,” Morris said while sitting in the grass.

“Now you know why the birds sing!,” exclaimed another skydiver, who landed after Morris.

“It was ice cold and then suddenly warm,” Morris said as she prepared to meet her entourage.

“I made it Frank,” she said before giving her brother a big hug.

“What’s next, deep sea diving?,” asked another friend.

“No, nothing with water,” Morris shot back.

After getting a large ice water, Morris reflected on her first skydive.

Dorothy’s brother, Frank “It was quite different than Stomberg, gives his big I expected, but in a good sister a big hug prior to her way. I didn’t expect it to be skydive. Photo by that thrilling. It’s so nice Earleen Hinton everyone came out today… such an entourage. I love being with all these people,” she said.

Not the oldest skydiver for center Dorothy Morris isn’t the oldest person to skydive at the Chicagoland Skydiving Center in Rochelle.

Douglas Smith, CEO and president of the company, said the center has had a 99-year-old skydive.

“He started skydiving at 90 and wanted to jump every year on his birthday and he made it to 99,” Smith said. “He didn’t make 100 because he died, but not from skydiving.”

Smith said weekends are the busiest times for the center.

“We have a hundred people today,” he said on Sunday.

“You really need reservations if you want to jump on a weekend.”

The skydiving season is seven days a week, from April 1 to mid-November, and is always dependent on weather.

Jumpers can choose to skydive from three heights 9,000 feet, 14,000 feet, and 18,000 feet. Tandem skydiving prices from 14,000 feet are around $200 with additional costs for photos and/or video.

Byron athletic complex has a new name Recently, the Byron Board of Education approved a recommendation from the Byron Hall of Fame committee to name the athletic complex on the west side of the campus after longtime administrator, coach, and educator, Joe Parks.

The Byron Hall of Fame committee received many requests from community members and former players.

Parks served the Byron School District as a teacher, coach, athletic director and administrator for 37 years.

During his tenure at Byron, Parks coached football, baseball, cross country, basketball, and track and field.

He served as the Byron head basketball coach from 1955 to 1970, and won five championships.

In 1968, Parks became the athletic director and Middle School principal, where he remained until his retirement in 1084.

For all that he has done and the example he set, the community of Byron will forever be indebted to Coach Parks for his selfless service to the young student/athletes that he served.

Byron High School will dedicate the athletic complex to Parks at its first home football game on Friday, Sept. 5.

The dedication ceremonies will begin in between the sophomore and varsity football games.

Former players and coaches will speak in tribute to Parks.
