Are you ready to help sweep?!

Volunteers are needed to help clean up river

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com A treasure hunt for strange and unusual items will take place along and in the Rock River next Saturday.

Mannequin parts and a lawn mower were just two of the memorable items discovered in and next to the Rock River over the past seven years during the annual Rock River Sweep.

“Every year there is something interesting,” said Ogle County Solid Waste

Department director Steve Rypkema.

The waste department is working with Section Coordinator Mark Nehrkorn, the Oregon Park District and the Oregon Area Rock River Sweep to clean the Rock River on Saturday, Sept. 12.

“The river is a great environmental and tourist attraction for this region,” said Rypkema. “It is an attraction. Having it healthy makes it aesthetically pleasing and helps the ecosystem.”

Volunteers are again needed to ensure the sweep cleans up this year.

Registration for volunteers is easy. All interested individuals and groups need to do is show up to

the Oregon Kiwanis Park at North Second Street and Franklin Street at 7:30 a.m. on Sept. 12 “Show up with long pants and long sleeve shirts and be ready to clean,” said Rypkema. “We will have water for the volunteers.”

Garbage bags will be available during volunteer check in and assistance with driving to locations for cleaning the river can be requested.

“Over the years we have worked to clean the river but many sections are not accessible,” said Rypkema.

“Anyone with a boat, canoe, or kayak can help clean the harder to reach areas.”

Canoes and kayaks can be launched at the park or at the

boat launch north of Oregon on Ill. 2.

Rypkema requests that anyone going in the river with a boat to stop at the registration table at Kiwanis Park before heading to the river.

All the trash collected will be brought back to the park to be sorted for proper disposal.

“We always have a lot of plastic bottles and cans that can be recycled,” said Rypkema. “We separate them out and we also separate the scrap metal.”

Unique items and any potentially hazardous waste found is addressed on a case by case basis.

“We urge volunteers to Turn to A9

Plastic bottles, tires, and other trash items float in the Rock River above the Oregon dam.

The annual Rock River Sweep, an effort to clean the river and its banks, will be held Saturday, Sept. 12.

Volunteers and boats are needed to help with this project. Photo

One hundred percent of monies allocated to Ogle County from the Northern Illinois Disaster Relief Fund have been spent directly on restoration efforts in Rochelle through American Red Cross of Northwest Illinois, United Way of Rock River Valley officials reported last week.

The money was allocated for restoration efforts after the EF4 tornado that damaged homes and other buildings on the east side of the county on April 9.

Roman J. Salamon, United Way of Rock River Valley Director of Communications and Marketing, said the funds were distributed to families west of Rochelle who lost their homes and possessions.

“Our investment in Ogle County went to support families with immediate relief needs such as transportation and hotel expenses as well as longterm recovery not covered by insurance,” said Alan Jones, Ogle County Director, United Way of Rock River Valley.

Ogle County’s share of the Northern Illinois Disaster Relief Fund represented nearly $54,000 or 41 percent of total dollars.

Printing plant is sore spot for Mt. Morris resident Corcoran calls former facility an “eyesore”

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com A Mt. Morris man would like the village board to take action about the former printing plant next door to his home.

In fact, Chris Corcoran has put up a sign to that effect in his front yard at 202 Sunset Lane, just west of the former Quad Graphics plant.

“Old printing plant is eyesore to neighborhood.

Village board needs to act on it,” the hot pink lettering on the four by eight-foot signs reads.

Corcoran has addressed the village board several times, voicing his concern that the nearly abandoned plant is deteriorating and poses safety and environmental

Way, United Way of Boone County, United Way of Lee County, and United Way of Ogle County, created the Northern Illinois Disaster Relief Fund to support relief and long-term recovery efforts for communities devastated by the tornadoes.

More than $130,000 was collected through the Northern Illinois Disaster Relief Fund, including contributions from Chicago Bears ($100,000) and FCA Foundation ($25,000), a charitable arm of FCA US LLC (formerly Fiat Chrysler Automobiles).

Funds were allocated based on estimates of damage per county, without administrative fees, to relief and recovery efforts through the United Way partners as follows: • Kishwaukee United Way (DeKalb County) – $59,751 (46 percent) • United Way of Boone County – $13,000 (10 percent) • United Way of Lee County - $4,000 (3 percent) • United Way of Ogle County - $53,996 (41 percent) Organizations that received United Way disaster fund assistance were evaluated and held strictly accountable.

hazards, violates building codes and weed ordinances, exposes citizens to a liability, and reduces property values in the community.

He reiterated his concerns on Tuesday, citing a large hole in one wall that has pipes hanging down and weeds growing on the property.

“I want that section all cleaned up,” Corcoran said.

“And I want the weeds cut.

They need to respect the neighborhood. The rest of the neighbors keep their properties up.”

Youngsters riding their bicycles into the property has been one of Corcoran’s main concerns.

“There’s rerod sticking up back there, and I’m afraid one of those kids will get impaled on it,” he said.

“Someone is going to get killed back there.”

The tall chain link fence surrounds the property, but until recently the gate was left open.

Elsasser says shuttered plant issues being addressed From A1 The gate was closed and locked to keep the uninnvited out.

However, Corcoran is less than impressed. “Those kids are going to climb the fence and get in there anyway,” he said.

He is also worried that wildlife, such as raccoons, will take up residence in the empty plant and become a nuisance in the neighborhood.

Quad Graphics ceased operations at the plant on May 13, 2011, ending 113 years as a printing facility.

For decades the printing plant was the village’s largest employer, at one time providing jobs for more than 2,000 people.

The business, originally called Kable Brothers Printing, was founded in

1898 by twin brothers Harvey and Harry Kable.

According to records on file at the Ogle County Clerk and Recorder’s office, the plant was purchased on Feb. 21, 2013 by Mt. Morris Business Park LLC, Downey, California.

Quad Graphics currently leases the sprawling plant and uses it as a warehouse to store equipment.

Mt. Morris Village President Dan Elsasser said Tuesday that the issue will be on the agenda for the Sept. 8 village board meeting.

He quickly pointed out that despite the name of the plant owners, the village is not involved in the plant’s ownership in any way.

“It has nothing to do with the Village of Mt. Morris,” he said.

Corcoran’s concerns are

Autumn on the Vine, an annual wine, craft beer, and appetizers tasting event, produced by the Oregon Chamber of Commerce and held during Autumn on Parade, has a fun flair this year.

“In celebration of the 45th anniversary of our spectacular Autumn on Parade event, we are partnering with the AOP committee, and celebrating the artistic history of our community” said Debbie Dickson, Chamber Director. “Autumn on Parade approached me and suggested the idea of an event they were considering as an addition to the festival this year where an artist gives step-by-step instruction to

paint a picture that you get to take home. They asked if we would be interested in a partnership, and it was an easy yes! We were excited about this opportunity from the start and ‘Create A Canvas’ was born”.

When the President and CEO of E.D. Etnyre read in the newspaper that we had to find an alternate location for our event, he immediately picked up the phone and offered space at their business.

“We are truly grateful, thankful and very excited to have the Etnyre folks be so supportive of this event,” Dickson said. “One of the things we try to do with this Chamber fall function is to showcase a significant

not being ignored, he said.

“It’s a touchy situation.

The plant is within the village limits, but it is private property,” he said.

Although he has not inspected the property for himself, Elsasser said he has been in contact with facility manager Jeff Warren, one of two Quad Graphics employees still at the plant, as well as the plant’s owners.

“The village has ordinances for maintenance, upkeep, and safety issues,” Elsasser said.

“We can notify owners when they are in violation of an ordinance, but it’s still up to the owner to take care of it.”

In some cases, the village has cleaned up vacant properties and then billed the responsible party, he said.

“It appears to be vacant but technically it’s not,” Elsasser said.

The village has not taken legal action at this point, he said, preferring instead to work with the owners to resolve the issues.

A large air filtering device was removed from the plant on Aug. 28.

A crew with a heavy-duty crane lifted a regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) from the rooftop and loaded it onto a flatbed trailer.

Warren said the RTO, which filtered the fumes from the presses, was sold by Quad Graphics to the TANN Corporation, Kaukauna, Wisconsin, for resale to another facility.

The RTO was required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Warren said.

Workers cut the device in half and lifted it off the building in two pieces due to its weight, he said.

historical feature within our community. We have so many out of town guests during the entire week of AOP, it is the perfect time to highlight the many attributes of our area.

“E.D. Etnyre has been an anchor industry in our community since 1898, so a perfect match! Considering the exposure that Autumn on Parade gives to our businesses and community in general, and hosting at Etnyre completes exactly what we as a Chamber strive so hard to accomplish” said Dickson.

There are three options with tickets: Tasting Event only $20; Create A Canvas only $30; both Tasting and Painting $50.

“The first 200 tickets sold

Oregon High School Class of 1911 had 18 students 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 This is from the 1911 Oregon High School Annual — Foreword “This the first volume of the Oregon High School Annual, is presented as the composite effort of the Oregon High School with the two-fold hope that it may be the path-finder, the forerunner of a regular annual production, and that it may portray life in our High School as it really is.”

This 1911 annual was published by our local newspaper then owned by Ziba Landers.

This annual held together with staples is a sharp contrast to our commercially produced yearbooks today.

The 1911 annual contained many hand drawn illustrations and relatively few photographs.

The 1911 high school, located where the Nash Recreation Center now stands, can only be viewed in photographs.

The beautiful threearchway entrance served as a background for many class photos.

The year Nash School was demolished, my father in-law Don Mattison, obtained a load of brick discarded from the school building both of us attended.

I laid the Nash School brick on the front porch of my home located on Daysville Road.

In 1991, our board of education consisted of the leaders of this community.

The Supt. Frank G. Taylor taught mathematics and headed a teaching staff of five teachers.

The senior class of 18 students included descendants of notable and successful people of this community.

Each student was listed as taking one of the following courses of study: English Course, Scientific Course or Classical Course.

Each senior was given a nickname such as Farmer, Pewee, Beanie, Sank, Moose, Mother, Gypsy, Lammy, Wyly, Rabbit, Doc, and Bunny.

Oregon Grade and High School students pose for a photo in front of Nash School in 1911.

Pictured above are the staff of the very first Oregon High School yearbook, published in 1911.

This illustration in the 1911 OHS yearbook was sketched by senior Aimee Knodle.

Five pages were dedicated to “Just for Fun.” Without TV to amuse them the Just For Fun pages were “A little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men”.

Bow! Wow! “How do we know the dogwood tree?” the teacher asked of Mark.

“That’s easy, said Mark, “You see, we tell it by it’s bark.”

Under the section labeled “Heard Daily in the Hall,” Mark explained to the teacher he was late because all the clothes hooks were taken.

Mark (Doc) Swingley was later a county veterinarian.

Several of his relatives were veterinarians.

A hallway was located next to their classroom where they could hang their coats and a shelf above the clothes hooks for their lunch buckets.

He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is a freshman—pity him!

He who knows not, and

knows not that he knows not, is sophomore—shun him!

He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is a junior—honor him!

He who knows, and knows that he knows, is a senior— laud him!

Classmate Edith Howard wrote a poem concerning Commencement Day. Her poem started with “By the flow of the Old Rock River, Where the years of our youth we have past.

We’ve reached our Commencement at Last”.

Her final comments were, “Farewell, farewell, dearest school-mates, And dear teachers a fond good-bye, May you see the results of your labors, In what we shall do bye and bye.”

This yearbook contained 72 pages (not numbered) with 42 printed pages containing no photographs.

There are 28 black and white photos which include 18 individual senior photos.

You can read student essays about the artist colony and are you a gossip.

Before the eight sponsor ad pages, two pages described the location and activities of the class of 1905.

This section more or less capped the line in Edith’s Poem when she wrote teachers may you see the results of your labors.

The next article will cover some of the Senior Class Prophecy predictions and Senior Aimee Knodle also drew this illustration. then give a brief history of We publish wedding, birth, engagement, and their lives.

You will see the results and anniversary notices for FREE. Email your accomplishments of the class submissions to: news@oglecountynews.com or of 1911. call us at 815-732-6166, ext. 32.

Library will hold AOP book sale whichever comes first.

However, this year some changes will be made.

The library will be able to accept donated books for the sale only on Friday, Oct. 2 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. because

of no room for storage this year due to remodeling of the basement rooms.

Also, books will be sold by the bag: $3 for all the books you can fit into a good-sized bag and $10 for all the books

that fit into a red library tote bag.

This eliminates the lines at checkout where the cost of individual books have to be added up. All proceeds will benefit the library.

Specialists from University of Illinois Extension and Illinois Natural Resources Conservation Service will present information on grazing management for fall pasture.

Grazing standing pasture is the most cost-effective way to feed ruminant livestock.

“Pasture is an underutilized resource in many parts of northwestern Illinois,” says Andy Larson, Extension Local Food Systems and Small Farms Educator.

“With a bit more planning and management, we could support a lot more grazing livestock in this area.”

During the classroom portion attendees will learn about fundamentals of improved grazing management, including careful planning of rotations and stocking rates, presented by Larson.

Travis Meteer, Extension Commercial Livestock Educator, will discuss extending the grazing season with alternative forages, like cover crops, annuals, stockpile, and corn stalks.

Matt Bunger, NRCS Grasslands Specialist will present information on building durable and economical fencing and water systems that best fit a

pasture and a budget.

A final topic during the workshop will be presented by Jay Solomon, Extension Energy & Environmental Stewardship Educator. He will discuss how and when grazing livestock can productively utilize woodland pasture with minimal negative consequences.

During the pasture walk at Dietrich Ranch, Dan and Erin Dietrich will discuss management-intensive and contract grazing, high stock density grazing, optimizing a grazing system for diversified livestock species, and selling identity-preserved products

through niche markets.

At 5:15 p.m., the group will travel three miles south to Dietrich Ranch near Mt. Morris for dinner and a pasture walk beginning at 5:30 p.m. and concluding around 7:30 p.m.

The cost is $25 which includes the program, educational materials, dinner, and pasture walk.

Registration is due by Monday, Sept. 7.

For more information or to register, call the Ogle County Extension office at 815-732-2191 or go to http:// web.extension.illinois.edu/ bdo/ under “Register Online.”

New law offers amnesty to teens who call for help

By Christi Warren Sauk Valley Media A new law signed last week by Gov. Bruce Rauner could have life-saving repercussions.

It’s like the state’s Good Samaritan law, which offers amnesty to drug users in the event of a medical emergency. But this one, signed Aug. 24 by the Republican governor, applies to underage drinking parties.

Under the new law, if an underage drinker calls 911 because of a medical emergency, the caller and the person receiving medical care will be offered

immunity from citations That scenario calls to mind the death of 18-year-old Jon Williams, who died at an underage drinking party in Oregon two years ago this month.

His death was later ruled a homicide, although no one was charged.

Winnebago County Coroner Sue Fiduccia determined that he had died from blunt force trauma.

He was punched in the face and fell to the ground, but wasn’t taken to the hospital until the morning after the party. By then he was unconscious.

The new law could prevent such

“I think it’s an excellent law. And if it removes that barrier and that fear, then it’s going to ultimately save a life, and that’s definitely a good thing.” — Andrew Nelson OHS Principal tragedies, Oregon Police Chief Darin DeHaan said.

“It’s hard to say in that particular instance [whether the law would’ve made a difference],” the chief said. “My hope would be

that it would have, and [the fellow partygoers] would [call 911], and it would’ve saved his life.”

Illinois joins almost a dozen other states with similar laws.

“It’s definitely a law that has a lot of potential, because I think these kids do fear the consequences,” he said. “I think it’s a good law. I think things have probably happened across the state because of that fear that kids have. Either kids have consumed too much, or they’ve been hurt. ... It’s an insightful law from legislators.”

Oregon High School Principal Andrew Nelson agreed.

“I think it’s a really good idea,” Nelson said. “Sometimes what happens with kids is, if they have a sense that they’re going to get in trouble, even if they’re trying to do something right, the fear ... may trump them from exercising common sense and making the phone call. I see this law as eliminating a barrier.”

It’s a law he definitely will tell his students about, he said.

“I think it’s an excellent law.

And if it removes that barrier and that fear, then it’s going to ultimately save a life, and that’s definitely a good thing,” Nelson said

Farrey gives history of AOP Ray Farrey, a long-time Autumn on Parade (AOP) committee member, spoke at a recent Oregon Rotary Club meeting.

Farrey said 2015 is the 45th year for AOP, which will be the first Saturday and Sunday in October.

He discussed the history of the parade.

“Oregon’s Autumn on Parade has been copied but it has never been duplicated,” he said.

Farrey provided the following information about the event’s history.

The first Autumn on Parade was held in 1970 on the second weekend of October and the parade began on Third Street by

Decker’s Drug Store and the shoe store which was owned

by Jim Barnes.

Farrey said there were six vendors and the Boy Scouts sold hot dogs. Judy Ford Johnson of Belvidere, who was Miss America at the time was in the parade.

The Oregon High School band has been in the parade almost since the beginning and the Mt. Morris School band was in the parade as well.

Each year, anywhere from seven to nine high school and junior high school bands march in the parade.

During the years of 1977 to 1991, Governor Jim Thompson attended periodically during his term

of office, always wearing a Bears jersey.

Byron Hutchins, an Oregon resident, had the idea for the Autumn on Parade.

He worked as Area Resource Development Adviser for University of Illinois Extension.

Hutchins, Ann Jones, and Jim Barnes were founding members of the Autumn on Parade. Barnes served as chair for 15 years.

Following Barnes, Donna Mann was chair for another 15 years. Then Debbie Dickson served for 12 or more years. Laury Edlund succeeded Dickson, Marseyene Snow currently serves as chair.

Rally Day set for Sept. 13 at OUMC Rally Day on Sunday, Sept. 13 marks the beginning of the fall Sunday School program at Oregon United Methodist Church, 200 S. Fourth St. The entire community

is invited to a block party to follow the 9 a.m. worship service when the congregation will gather in front of the church for food, games, and fellowship.

Activities for children and

adults are planned.

Jefferson Street will be blocked off between Fourth and Fifth Streets for safety and plenty of space.

For more information call the church at 815-732-2994.

Sharing technology positions saves districts $25,000 Oregon and Meridian School District officials estimate they have saved a total of $25,000 by sharing a technology staff for a year, the superintendents said in a news release Tuesday.

Oregon Superintendent Tom Mahoney and Meridian Superintendent PJ Caposey, the former Oregon High School principal, created the uncommon job-sharing situation in the wake of state

Volunteers needed for annual sweep From A1 use caution when cleaning,” said Rypkema. “Contact a coordinator if there is a question about the safety anything found.”

Automotive batteries are one of the hazardous items that have been recovered in previous years.

“We will deal with these items,” said Rypkema.

Last year, more than 40 volunteers participated in the Oregon Area Sweep and collected half a ton of waste.

For more information contact the Ogle County Solid Waste Department at 815-732-4020 or email srypkema@oglecounty.org.

The Oregon Area Sweep will focus on the seven miles between Lowden State Park and Castle Rock State Park.

North of this area, the Byron Area Sweep will take place.

Mike Challis is the coordinator for that section and is supported by the Byron Forest Preserve.

Volunteers for this area should meet at 9 a.m. at the park on River Road across from the Byron Forest Preserve entrance.

A limited number of canoes will be available for

use, but people with their own boats are encouraged to participate.

Those with boats will be cleaning up and downstream from there. Others will be cleaning up the shores on foot.

Trash bags, snacks, and thin gloves will be provided. Contact Mike at gardenermike@gmail.com for more information.

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.

The 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.

budget cuts and declining property taxes.

When Meridian’s technology director resigned at the end of the 201314 school year, Mahoney and Caposey saw an opportunity and entered into an intergovernmental agreement.

“Because of these state budget cuts, both districts began looking for options to maintain services and programs offered to students while decreasing expenditures,” the release said. “As both superintendents realized the districts were working

toward a common goal, [the districts] found a value in seeking each other out as partners.”

Shawn Gadow and Frank Zelek, both Oregon School District IT employees, were appointed co-directors of the Meridian Technology Department.

The Meridian district covers Stillman Valley, Davis Junction and Monroe Center.

In addition to saving money by sharing a position, Gadow and Zelek cooperate with one another to finish tasks, and research and solve problems, adding to each department’s efficiency, and

the districts share resources such as hardware and licensing.

Both “plan to continue the relationship as long as it remains an economically viable option.

“Sharing services with a neighboring district is not a solution to the widespread issues caused by underfunding, but it can be looked at as a viable option for many districts,” the release said.

Sharing a position isn’t an entirely new idea – some school districts have been known to share superintendents, for example

– but sharing a technology staff, while maybe uncommon, makes sense, Mahoney said.

In fact, now that they have a year under their belts and their agreement has been successful, he and Caposey are reaching out to other area school districts, to see if a technology co-op of sorts is a workable idea.

They’re also looking at “economies of scale,” discussing other ways share services, Mahoney said.

“We’re $760,000 in debt this year. We need to save money wherever we can.” he said.

ROE opens new satellite office at the courthouse

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com For the convenience of Ogle County residents, the newly-formed Whiteside, Lee, and Ogle Regional Office of Education (ROE) has opened a satellite office in Oregon.

The merger of the Whiteside ROE and LeeOgle ROE took place July 1, and the resulting ROE is headquartered in Sterling.

“We wanted to have a presence in Ogle County,” said Regional Superintendent Robert Sondgeroth. “It was a little far for Ogle County residents to come to Sterling.”

The office is open on Tuesdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the third floor of the

Ogle County Courthouse, where the coroner’s office was formerly located.

ROE employee Denise Davilo will be there weekly.

She said she mainly does fingerprinting for schools, substitute teachers, and the public, but can also help with information and registration for GEDs and can answer other questions concerning the ROE as well.

The merger of the Whiteside ROE and the Lee-Ogle ROE stems from action taken four years ago to reduce the state budget.

Then Gov. Pat Quinn questioned the amount budgeted for ROEs in 2011, and as a result, the number of them was reduced 44 to 35 as of this July.

Oregon’s downtown could get its new street lights as early as next week.

“They’re supposed to be in this week or next,” Mike Bowers, Oregon Street Supervisor, said Tuesday.

Work crews were in the downtown on Monday working on two separate projects.

Workers from Utility Dynamics Corp., Oswego, were completing wiring for the street lights at the south end of the 100 block of South Fourth Street.

At the same time, a crew from Engel Electric, Sterling, was at the other end of the

block replacing wiring for the stop and go lights at the intersection of Washington and Fourth Streets.

Bowers said the Engel Electric crew was replacing the detector loops that sense cars and activate the traffic lights.

He said the old loops, which were in the curbs, were removed when the sidewalks on Fourth Street were replaced earlier this summer.

The new loops are under the street, Bowers said.

The crew cut grooves in the pavement for the wires and then refilled the grooves with a protective sealant.

He said the loops detect the metal in the vehicles passing over them and send a message to the traffic light.

Construction progressing well on Snyder addition

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Walls are going up rapidly for the addition to the Snyder Pharmacy in Oregon that

will make room for an Ace Hardware store.

A construction crew worked from a tall scaffold Tuesday to get the top layers of concrete blocks on the west wall of the addition on

North Fourth Street.

Owner Tom Felker said construction is going smoothly, and December remains the projected completion date.

Plans call for the 75 x 130

foot addition on the north side of the present building at 201 N. Fourth St. to house the pharmacy.

The hardware store will be located in what is now the

pharmacy.

Felker purchased a house at 206 N. Third St. and tore it down earlier this year to make room to expand his building.

Oregon has been without

a hardware store since last October when Basler’s Ace Hardware on Pines Road at the south edge of Oregon closed, and owner Jeff Basler retired.

Hawks finish fourth in their 10-team tournament

By Andy Colbert Reporter It was a fourth-place finish for the Oregon soccer team in its own 10-team tournament on Aug. 29.

The Hawks lost to Keith Country Day 2-1 in the thirdplace game to finish 3-2 for the two-day event.

“Compared to last year, we played much better,” Oregon coach Justyn Laxner said.

Both of Oregon’s losses were by one goal, while they dominated three other opponents by a combined 20-2 score.

“The games we lost, we came out flat,” Laxner said.

“Once we got going, we played better.”

The Hawks lost to Monmouth-Roseville 2-1 in their opener, before reeling off three straight wins.

“Those last three games, we set the bar high and held to it,” Laxner said. “Jarrett Reynolds was our workhorse.

People turn to him and look for advice.”

Other players that stood out, according to Laxner were Trey and Konner Wilson, along with Kaden Humphrey.

“Konner speed created havoc and he had a hat trick against Riverdale (an 11-0 win),” Laxner said. “Kaden had an assist in about every game this year and Trey is playing great defense.”

Laxner felt the Hawks played best against Elgin Westminster, a 6-2 Oregon win on Saturday.

Against Keith, the Hawks

took a 1-0 halftime lead on a Reynolds goal.

“That was a good goal when we needed it. I wish we had more like that,” Laxner said.

In the second half, Keith stunned Oregon with a goal from 35 yards away to tie the game 1-1.

“I don’t think the goalie (Jaspreet Gill) was expecting it,” Keith coach Rillo Oliveira said.

“He got stuck off his line,” Laxner said.

Later in the second half, a breakaway goal gave Keith a 2-1 lead.

“They were controlling the game and we packed the middle,” Oliveira said.

“I don’t think they expected how fast our (scorer) was.”

In the games final minutes, Alex Sitze had two shots on goal, including one that the Keith goalie made a key stop on. With four minutes left, Reynolds pulled off a unique header from a difficult angle that almost went in.

“Both teams played pretty well,” Laxner said.

Skyhawks ground Hawks in opener

By Tim Sieck Shaw Media As successful as the 2014 season was for Johnsburg, there was one regular-season blemish – a 13-7 openingnight loss to the Oregon Hawks.

Friday was a chance for payback, and the Skyhawks cashed in.

Oregon stayed close early, but Johnsurg’s athleticism proved to be too much in a 53-25 nonconference win.

After Johnsburg (1-0) marched down the field on its opening drive to jump ahead 7-0, Oregon (0-1) had an answer on its first possession of the season.

The Hawks capped off an eight-play drive with a 56-yard touchdown run by senior John Ghibellini. The

ensuing extra-point try came up short and Oregon trailed 7-6, but had regained some confidence.

Unfortunately for Oregon, Johnsburg would score on not only its next possession, but every time it had the football with the exception of the final drive that began with just more than a minute remaining in the game.

The Hawks had their hands full with Skyhawks junior running back Alex Peete, who finished with more than 300 yards of total offense and five touchdowns.

“Johnsburg is such an athletic team, and we knew [Alex] Peete was a really good running back, and our worst fears came true tonight,” Oregon coach John Bothe said. “This might be Turn to B2

Lady Hawks win Galena Invitational The Lady Hawks capped off a perfect record at the Galena Invitational volleyball tournament on Aug. 29 to bring home the championship plaque.

Hawks to host North Boone on Friday at Landers-Loomis From B1 the best team we play against all season. Their offensive line was so tough to play against, and our inability to stop Peete is what really hurt us.”

Oregon was able to run the ball for 282 yards and was led by Ghibellini, who finished with 132 yards on 21 carries, and junior Caleb Mennen, who finished with 80 yards on six carries.

Senior Maverik Good led the Hawks in receiving with two catches for 42 yards.

Despite the loss, Bothe said he saw a lot of positives in Oregon’s Maverik Good moves in to tackle Johnsburg’s Friday’s opener.

“I was really happy with Alex Peete. Photo by Jaime Finch

the effort we gave tonight,” he said. “This is just one game, and we learned a lot tonight and will use what we learned to help us improve.”

Oregon hosts North Boone this Friday at LandersLoomis Field.

With the bulk of its 1A state championship team graduated, Forreston’s 33-13 NUIC crossover win over Ashton-Franklin Center on Aug. 28 demonstrates that a new group of reinforcements are on the way.

Led by sophomore running backs Matt Akins and A.J. Christensen combining for 174 first-half yards, the Cardinals had 19 first downs in that half alone. Christensen had two touchdown runs, Akins one and fellow sophomore Gavin Fuchs another for 27-6 halftime lead.

“We have a lot of new

faces,” said senior Logan Rogers, one of the few returning starters. “It will take awhile, but we’ll start to round into form. We have a strong sophomore class.”

Another of those sophomores, 6-foot-6, 210-pound Sam Barkalow, had two first-half fumble recoveries and a second-half sack. The first came after a Noah Gipe squib kickoff that bounced off an AFC player.

At the time, the Raiders led 7-6. Six running plays later, Forreston scored and never looked back.

Forreston travels to Galena on Friday for what could be its toughest game of the regular season against the No. 1 ranked team in 1A.

Seventh graders begin season Nineteen members strong, the seventh grade volleyball team of David L. Rahn Junior High opened their season Aug. 25, with a two-match contest against West Carroll and then were on the road at Amboy Aug. 27.

In the Tuesday’s first game, the Eagles struggled with their serving and dropped the game, 15-25. Jadyn Bothe had four serves to lead the team.

In the second game, a West Carroll server stunned the Eagles for nine points in the 13-25 loss. The Eagles recovered a bit in the third game by passing and hitting

better but fell just short, 1821. Ella Martin had seven service points.

In the second match, DLR came out timid in game one.

West Carroll’s strong serving kept the Eagles on their heels. DLR fell in game one, 9-25.

The Eagles came together in game two; passing, setting and attacking. The home team dropped a close game two, 20-25. Sophia Hughes and Ashlyn Kitzmiller had three service points each to lead the team.

Sports Column Season openers hard on BNW football teams

By Andy Colbert Reporter The first week of the football season can almost be called “Black Friday” for the Big Northern West Division.

Throw in a Saturday afternoon loss by Winnebago and it was 1-6 for area teams, with Rockford Lutheran picking up the only victory.

Counting Dixon’s forfeit over Chicago Clemente, we could make that two wins.

The past few years, teams from the west side of the conference had dominance over the east.

With a 33-0 pounding of Byron, either Marengo (15-75 in past 10 years) is better than what people give them credit for or state semifinalist Byron isn’t as good as advertised.

A score that decisive isn’t a fluke.

Johnsburg scored more points on Oregon than has ever been done in the John Bothe era. Harvard wasn’t expected to beat Stillman Valley, but it did.

Though it lost its game to perennial state power St. Joseph-Ogden because of numerous fumbles, Winnebago was in it until the end. Maybe the smallrostered Indians will be the dangerous team of the division?

Other than Lutheran, is the BNC west down this year?

We’ll find out more this

week, as crossover games continue. Look for Oregon to beat North Boone, Byron to handle G-K, and Lutheran to demolish RC. Stillman and ‘Bago will see where they stand against RichmondBurton and Harvard.

If the west division is down, it will be a boon to Oregon, as the Hawks need to find ways to reach the magic number of five wins.

Every week will be a test.

In the NUIC, it is hard to get a handle on how proficient Polo is because of the “haves” and “have nots” nature of the conference.

Either a football program is good or bad, with very little in betweens.

The Marcos ran all over and around league ‘have not”, River Ridge, and will likely do the same for most of their games. So, will we

really know just how good Polo is by week 9?

However, it sure will be fun to see where Polo stacks up against the rest of the state come playoff time.

For now, look for them to move rapidly up the state rankings, maybe ahead of Forreston, who oddly got two first place votes.

For a team with only five seniors, Forreston shouldn’t be receiving first-place votes.

However, with all the talented younger kids, could we be seeing inklings of another Cardinal state championship team in the near future?

If you are a restaurant operator or gas station in Oregon, be prepared this weekend. In perhaps the busiest weekend schedule of any school in the state,

no matter what the size, Oregon will be hosting a home football game, a soccer tournament, volleyball tournament and crosscountry invitational.

Being Hawk athletic director is not for the faint of heart, especially when close to 50 busloads of various teams descend upon Oregon Friday and Saturday.

A couple weeks ago, Algonquin grad Evan Jager, was mentioned in this column as having a chance to dethrone the Kenyans in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the World Track Championships.

Those hopes for an American victory evaporated, as a Kenyan not only won the race, but his countrymen took the next three places. Jager settled for sixth and called it a learning

Between the Jamacians in the sprints and the Kenyans in the distances, the United States has been left to pick up the scraps in the inbetween events.
