Positive reviews for AOP

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The right elements came together last weekend for another successful Autumn on Parade festival in Oregon.

Festival goers had fun, the vendors did well, and even the weather cooperated.

“It turned out very well,” said Marseyne Snow, AOP Committee President.

“We had a lot of positive comments and everyone seemed to have a good time.

People liked the booths and the parade especially. They also liked watching the donut-eating contest.”

The rain predicted for Saturday was only an occasional light mist and peeks of sunshine broke through the clouds from time to time.

Clouds prevailed on Sunday, too, but the temperature stayed in the perfect range — mid 60s — for both days.

The turnout for the festival was large both Saturday and Sunday, Snow said.

“I don’t have numbers yet, but several people commented that they didn’t know when they had seen so many people in town,” she said.

The volunteers who helped out were key to the festival’s success, Snow said.

“We had more volunteers this year and that was great,” she said. “We couldn’t have done it without them.”

Down on the Food Court Saturday morning, Glen Weatherwax, Sterling, picked up an early lunch of gyros for himself and his wife at the Forreston Sheep Turn to A2

Iconic hotdog visits festival

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com When the iconic form of a hot dog on bun turned onto Jefferson Street Sunday afternoon, kids of all ages could not help but smile.

“The Wienermobile!” yelled some of the kids who spotted the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.

Since 1937 Wienermobiles have been spotted along America’s roadways. The current fleet of six Wienermobiles are each 27 feet long and the company boasts 187 “smiles per hour”.

“Whether you are eight or 80 the Wienermobile is about smiles,” said Hotdogger John.

“We are miles of smiles.”

When the Wienermobile parked on Jefferson Street in front of the Oregon High School, John stuck his head out of the top of the Wienermobile and greeted everyone. He then climbed out of the vehicle to talk with the Cub Scouts of Pack 81 that were

“Whether you are eight or 80 the Wienermobile is about smiles,” — Hotdogger John gathering around.

Oscar Mayer representatives who are in charge of the Wienermobile are not called drivers or employees. They go by the name Hotdoggers.

“Being a Hotdogger is a lifestyle to relish,” said John.

“It is buns and buns of fun. It is always a fun time meeting with the frank addicts.”

The inside of the Wienermobile matches the exterior colors.

The seats are embroidered with the Wienermobile logo and the ceiling is painted as a blue sky.

“It is always a nice day when the Wienermobile is in town,” said John.

Throughout the parade John was running up to fans and posing for photos with a hotdog cutout.

The smiles on pointing fans were spotted the entire parade route.

The biggest smiles were when the Wienermobile’s horn was pressed because the classic Oscar Mayer Wiener jingle is played.

The jingle starts “I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener.”

Richard D. Trentlage wrote the jingle in 1965 and was used in advertising for more than 40 years.

“This song is an iconic jingle that everyone associates with the company,” said John. “It was the longest running jingle and it was a sad day when we learned Trentlage passed on.”

Family members announced last week that Trentlage died Sept. 21 at age 87.

Four of the defendants in a civil case over zoning have asked an Ogle County judge to dismiss a lawsuit brought against them by their neighbors.

Attorneys for Mike and Colleen Stukenberg, Forreston, and STKE LLC, a company owned by the Steve and Kevin Moring, also of Forreston, filed a motion Sept. 22 to “strike and dismiss” the lawsuit brought against them

by Walter Paul and his daughter and sonin-law Linette and Curtis DeHaven, all of Forreston.

Paul and the DeHavens are also suing the county.

Judge Robert Hanson set another hearing for Nov. 29.

The lawsuit stems from the county board’s decision in May to grant a special use permit requested by Mike Stukenberg and the Morings to allow a Class 2 Motor Carrier Facility on property zoned for agricultural use.

The property, at 11123 W. Ill. 72 just east of Forreston, was owned by the Stukenbergs and recently purchased by STKE LLC. Paul and other nearby property owners, including the DeHavens, objected because of environmental issues.

The lawsuit, filed July 21 by Paul’s attorney Dan Fishburn, Freeport, asks the court to reverse the board’s decision and to issue a temporary and permanent injunction to stop the development of the property for the special use.

The lawsuit states that the special use applicants failed to meet the standards set forth in the county zoning ordinance because a Class 2 Motor Carrier Facility does not allow for storage of garbage dumpsters or the maintenance of garbage trucks on the property.

The document further states that having the facility there is detrimental to property values in the neighborhood, as well as to the “public health, safety, morals, comfort, and general welfare” of nearby property owners.

The lawsuit states that the property does not have adequate ingress and egress for truck Turn to A2

Oregon woman receives a festival prize to remember

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com An Oregon woman won’t soon forget this year’s Autumn on Parade festival.

Joni Willard, Oregon, won the AOP 60/40 raffle. She learned Sunday night that one of the six tickets she purchased was drawn.

“When they called I was shocked,” she said on Monday before receiving a check for $10,170. “What are the odds that one ticket from one of all of those pads of tickets sold was chosen.”

As an employee of Snyder’s Ace Hardware, Willard sold herself the winning ticket. “I thought I might as well buy my own and I knew it would help out the festival.”

She plans on donating a portion of her winnings to the KB Fund, an Oregon group that helps area residents

“When they called I was shocked. ” — Joni Willard, 60/40 raffle winner with medical expenses. It was founded to help April Roos, a young woman who is battling cancer.

“Most of it will go into savings, but some will go to the KB Fund,” she said. “My son is in remission. They helped him so I want to pay it forward.”

This was the first year the festival offered a 60/40 raffle and sold tickets prior to the two-day event.

AOP had previously offered a 50/50 raffle Snyder’s Ace received $50 for selling the winning ticket.

Joanne’s Total Image Salon & Spa received gift certificates for selling the most ticket books (128) prior to the weekend.

Raffle organizer Jessie Hafer said she was very

pleased by this year’s participation.

“Last year’s 50/50 winner won a little over $900. The growth and support had been phenomenal,” she said.

“Dave Boehle, a fellow AOP Committee member, and I thought big this year, but we were just shy of big enough.

We sold out of tickets before the conclusion of the festival.

She thanked everyone who took part.

“We would like to thank everyone who purchased tickets and supported AOP,” she said. “We would also like to thank all the local businesses who participated in pre-event sales and all the volunteers who sold raffle tickets the weekend of the festival.”

Armstrong visits old friends

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com It did not take long for farm reporter Max Armstrong to reconnect with old friends when he visited Oregon for Autumn on Parade.

He was talking with Remmer Schuetz, Ashton, about a tractor show, a magazine, and farming on Sunday afternoon.

“Coming to Oregon you get to meet friends and talk about the crops,” said Armstrong. “I have known so many of the local farmers and we meet throughout the year.

Today I had the chance to reconnect.”

Armstrong hosts “This Week in AgriBusiness” with his friend and

fellow farm broadcaster O r i o n Samuelson.

Armstrong said the fields locally are wet in places, but not as bad as other portions of the Midwest.

“The forecast presented during the program was Max Armstrong, left, smiles as he for a wet and talks with Remmer Schuetz, Ashton, slow harvest before the start of the parade and it looks like Sunday afternoon. Photo by Chris that is the case Johnson this year,” said Armstrong was riding Armstrong. “It rained by his 1953 Farmall Super M the foot in parts of Iowa, in the parade and waved Minnesota, and Wisconsin at fans. While he owns and that rain is going Farmall’s, Armstrong to make it difficult for enjoys all tractors. farmers to complete the “It is nice when you go harvest.

Owners file motion to dismiss From A1 traffic, nor adequate drainage.

The motion to dismiss says that Paul and the DeHavens failed to show adequate evidence to back their complaints.

At hearings held last spring about the request, Paul and his neighbors voiced concern about contamination from the garbage trucks and dumpsters stored on the property.

They were concerned that wells and aquifers, as well

Association’s stand.

“We come every year,” he said with a grin. “This is the only place my wife eats.”

By late morning, the crowd thronged the streets around the courthouse square to visit the 190 Farmers Market booths.

Mary Jo Dilbeck, Leaf River, was helping customers at the cookie stand she and her sister Linda Borneman set up every year in front of the courthouse.

Borneman said the sales picked up steadily as the crowd grew.

Cookie customers Joan Lanning and Cindy Brink, both of Sycamore, said they come to the festival every year.

“It’s become an annual tradition to come over here,” Lanning said. “We get together for eating and looking at crafts.”

At the Baileyville Barn Quilts booth on Jefferson Street, Lori Blask was

enjoying brisk sales.

“It’s been nice,” she said. “There’s been a good turnout.”

Jim Busser, Polo, said he and his wife Deb were enjoying the event.

“Darn right we are,” he said smiling. “There’s good food and great vendors.”

One of the most popular events at Autumn on Parade this year was the 60/40 drawing.

“This year we wanted to try something a little different. In the past, we’ve had a 50/50 where the winner got 50 percent and AOP got 50 percent,” Snow said. “We decided to give the winner 60 percent this year, and she came away with $10,000.”

Joni Willard, Oregon, won the raffle and got a check for $10,170.

The annual car show on Saturday was also popular with festival-goers.

“What is cool about the car show is all the years that are represented,” said Focus House director Martine Lyle.

“I think car shows are a commitment to history.”

This was the second year for Focus House running the event.

On Saturday, Lyle was charged with selecting a director’s choice award.

“There are so many good cars here today, how do I decide?” she asked.

One thing that was clear for Lyle was the memories.

“When I saw the Nova I was reminded of my dad,” Lyle said. “He was a smoker and flicked a match out the window of the car. It blew into the back seat of the car and started a fire. He had to tell my mom how he burned the backseat.”

She had a large smile when telling the story.

“Listening to all the stories people have about cars is great,” Lyle said. “I am glad the car show brings together people so they can enjoy a day talking about their stories.”

Republican Reporter Serving the Oregon area since 1851 The Oregon Republican Reporter is published weekly by Ogle County Newspapers, a division of the B.F. Shaw Printing Co., Shaw Media.

The Oregon Republican Reporter was founded in 1851 as the Ogle County Reporter. In 1889, the Ogle County Republican, a competing newspaper, was started. In 1890, the Republican was sold to Ziba Landers. Upon his death in 1939, the newspaper was assumed by his son, Ernest D. In March 1951, Paul F. Behan, owner of the Reporter, and E.D. Landers and his son E.G. (Tim) Landers united the newspapers into the Republican Reporter.

Ernest D. Landers died in 1966, and E.G. and Behan became partners. Eventually, E.G. Landers assumed sole ownership, and in 1985 he sold the newspaper to B.F. Shaw Printing, Dixon.

Ogle County Newspapers also prints the Mt. Morris Times, Forreston Journal, and Polo’s Tri-County Press.

Oregon’s street names have historical significance 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 original plat of Oregon City encompassed First through Seventh as north-south streets, and the east-west streets were named after Ben Franklin and our early presidents, Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe.

Of course, the main street in Oregon was named Washington.

Oregon City, renamed Florence, and finally Oregon contained 12 streets.

Today our main north and south streets parallel to the river are numbered 1 through 14.

Oh, we have a one block street named Water Street running parallel to the river heading into the water and sewer treatment plant.

In the Fairgrounds Addition the streets are appropriately named Trotter Court, Fair Street, Fair Park Drive, Fairground Circle Drive, and Grandstand Court.

Illinois Street in north Oregon runs from Third Street to Sixth Street.

What makes this street unique is that it has a gap of approximately five blocks and then continues west crossing Ill. 64 and then

The original plat for Florence, which is now Oregon.

turns north.

We even have a northsouth street located west of Ill. 64 named Lovers Lane.

This street intersects Illinois and Oregon Trail Road.

At one time Oregon Trail Road ran from Paynes Point through Oregon to Polo.

We have a street named Depot Street located in the north side of Oregon.

The original plan was to build the railroad through the business district.

Hill, who owned a farm where the railroad is now located, gave land to the railroad and established the Hill Subdivision.

In the Hill Subdivision

we have Hill Street, Adrian Street, Armstrong Street, and Collins Street.

These streets named after our astronauts were originally named A, B and C Streets.

So instead of having the depot on Depot Street, it is located on Collins Street.

Some out-of-town visitors look for the depot on Depot Street.

Several streets are named after our early settlers. These are our founder John Phelps, our first mayor John Gale, Gov. Thomas Ford, and Henry Mix. School Street is a one block long street located adjacent to the Nash Center.

Smith Drive, Woods Drive, and Holland Court are not named on this map because the roads were recently renamed. The arrow above points to the streets that were renamed.

At one time the Nash site housed grades 1 through 12 thus the street named School Street.

Hawk Drive is located adjacent to Oregon High School’s fantastic athletic complex.

When East Oregon was annexed to Oregon the northsouth streets were named after Oregon historical families: Jones Terrace, Hastings Avenue, Etnyre Avenue, and Nohe Avenue.

(Jones, of the piano factory, Hastings, a banker, Nohe, a merchant, and of course,

Etnyre.)

Mix Lane, east and west in East Oregon, was named after John Mix whose house and barn still stand with the stone pillars on each side of the entrance.

State highways Routes 2 and 64 quadsect Oregon.

Pines Road takes us to the Pines, River Road takes us to Lowden State Park, and Daysville Road crosses north and south through East Oregon.

Yes, many street names convey historical or logical criteria such as Center Street

which is fairly obvious in East Oregon.

This past year the streets in the East Oregon Subdivision were changed to Smith Drive, Woods Drive, and Holland Court.

We had six presidents before Oregon was founded in 1836.

Andrew Jackson was President in 1836. Jackson Street is located one block north of Monroe Street.

I never thought I would write an article about street names.

Grid-tied and batterybased systems will also be discussed.

Designing a codecompliant solar system will be discussed as well along with the latest in state and federal subsidies.

After lunch, class members will assemble a real one kilowatt grid-tied PV system on site.

Two teams will rotate between laying out the solar panels and making the wiring connections between them and wiring the remaining

components, including the inverter, charge controller and breaker switches.

After both teams have experienced connecting each portion of the solar assembly, the unit will be voltage tested and wired so it will be ready to connect to the house breaker box.

The solar system will then be disassembled by the group.

The cost for the workshop is $20 for IREA members and $40 for non members, which will include membership. An additional $5 per person will be charged for a light lunch.

The parade route was down State Street.

The drill team practices at the Ogle County Fair Grounds, Oregon.Their alternate practice site is the Diamond G Ranch and Western Store, Rochelle.

The drill team received a $1,000 grant from the Illinois

4-H Foundation.

They used the money to purchase 4-H flags and poles. They will use the flags for performances and competitions.

The drill team was formed in 1996. This year’s team is made up of seven 4-Hers from Carroll and Ogle Counties ranging in age from 12 to 18.

The members are Teddy

Public Voice Tootsie Roll Drive raised $5,770

Dear Editor, The 47th annual Knights of Columbus Intellectual Disabilities (Tootsie Roll) drive in Oregon and Mt. Morris was held Sept. 9 and 10.

This year $5,770 was raised by the members of Oregon Council 1092 with help from their families and friends.

We also had support from six area businesses that helped with the purchase of candy.

Casey’s, Sullivan’s and SuperValu let us stand in front of their stores.

The funds that were raised help to support the Knights of Columbus programs in Illinois, such as Special Olympics.

Local organizations who will receive over $1,800 apiece were Village of Progress, Oregon School District Special Education program, and Stouffer Terrace.

I want to thank to people

in Oregon and Mt. Morris for their generous support again this year.

Dave Starke Oregon Tootsie Roll Drive Chairman

Be aware of sucide signs

Dear Editor, Fall brings a sense of greater aliveness and a fresh start for many of us.

But some struggle to stay positive about life and the possibilities that the future holds.

September was National Suicide Awareness and Prevention Month.

Talk of suicide, of ending it all,of giving up hope is never something to be ignored.

If you are concerned about the safety of someone you know, it’s time to do something.

Don’t be alone with your worries.

If you are not sure a situation rises to the level of a crisis, err on the side of caution and get another

opinion.

Sinnissippi Mental Health Center services are available 24/7 in the event of a crisis at 800-242-7642.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available 24 hours every day at 800-273-8255.

Pack the Place Purple event was appreciated Dear Editor, This letter of appreciation and gratitude is directed to the DLR Eagles volleyball teams and coaches for their participation in the “Pack the Place Purple for Alzheimers “Memories for Marillyn” games held the afternoon of Sept. 27.

What a special afternoon

it was for Marillyn.

Then to find out that the shirts were worn to school the next day and to their game in Chadwick that afternoon.

A super job was done on the uniform shirts by Mark Lewis of Mel’s Custom Graphics, Mt. Morris.

They were an eleventh hour completion.

Also to Oregon Living and Rehab Center who donated funding for the uniform shirts.

Finally a special thanks to Tanya Koper-Bowers for creating and coordinating the event.

A letter of appreciation has also been sent to the visiting AFC Raiders team for their presentation of flowers along with wearing purple ribbons in their hair.

Also the Reagan Middle School for donating a purple and white game ball that after the games was signed by the players and presented to Marillyn.

Both schools’ participation made the games a super extra special success.

What a bunch of great young ladies including the

DLR Eagles. They represent their schools well!

Special note: After the games it was announced that the 8th grade Eagles are #1 in Rt. 72 Conference.

Go Eagles! Win the Rt. 72 Tournament.

Many, Many Thank Yous, Marillyn Koper (By Al Koper)

Opposes proposed jail location

Dear Editor, I grew up in Oregon, and I want to say something about the location of the proposed new jail.

I agree that the county needs a new jail but not on Sixth Street [in Oregon].

The county board needs to have a public meeting about this and give the people in the neighborhood a voice about the proposed location of the new jail.

Sincerely, John Stephen Moehle Vernon Hills

The Forreston Fire Protection District is asking taxpayers for its first tax increases in decades.

The Nov. 8 ballot will include two referenda — one for the fire department and one for the ambulance service.

Both are asking district residents to hike the taxes by a maximum of 10 cents, from 30 cents to 40 cents, per $100 of equalized assessed valuation (EAV).

That means the annual real estate taxes on a $100,000 house would increase by approximately $33 for each levy or a total of $66 if both are approved.

Jack Daws, president of the district’s board of trustees, said the increases are needed to cover the mounting costs of equipment, insurance, personnel, and operations.

“We need this because of the cost of operation,” he said. “We’ve had to hire people for the ambulance and the cost of equipment has gone up.”

Daws said this is the first time the fire service has asked for an increase in its 68-year history.

When the district was formed on Nov. 7, 1947, the tax rate was set at 30 cents per $100 EAV. The fire district took over the ambulance service in March of 1976 and the present tax rate of 30 cents per $100 EAV was set then.

Daws said that the district has always taxed only what was needed and not at the 30cent maximum.

Currently the fire service taxes at 25.3 cents per $100 EAV and the ambulance at 24.7 cents.

“The Forreston Fire Protection District has the lowest tax rate of all surrounding fire districts,” Daws said. “These increases

will only be used if and when needed.”

The ambulance service has had a $40,000 deficit during the past year, he said.

“The district will not be able to continue operating the ambulance service at the present tax rate,” Daws said.

He explained the reason for the red ink.

“In 2014 we were having problems getting volunteers to staff the ambulance,” Daws said. “At that time we started to pay EMTs to be at the station or to be on call at home.”

Aging equipment and the increasing cost of replacing it is also a factor in the board’s decision to ask for the increases.

“At the present time the district owns 10 pieces of fire and ambulance equipment,” Daws said. “They range in age from 11 years old to 46 years old and average 28 years old. The district is on a 20-year schedule for the replacement of the front line pumper truck. We also schedule to replace the ambulances when they reach 20 years of age.”

Currently, he said, a new pumper truck will cost about $650,000 and a new ambulance will be about $150,000.

A public meeting to discuss the need for the tax hikes has been set for Wednesday, Oct. 12 at 7 p.m. at the fire station.

Forreston voters are not alone in making a decision on increasing fire district taxes.

Voters in the Polo Fire Protection District approved identical referenda last March to increase the tax caps from 30 to 40 cents per $100 EAV for both the fire service and the ambulance service.

Oregon Fire Protection District voters approved a referendum to establish an ambulance service in April of 2015.

To the Electors of the State of Illinois: The Illinois Constitution establishes a structure for government and laws. There are three ways to initiate change to the Illinois Constitution: (1) a constitutional convention may propose changes to any part; (2) the General Assembly may propose changes to any part; or (3) a petition initiative may propose amendments limited to structural and procedural subjects contained in the Legislative Article. The people of Illinois must approve any changes to the Constitution before they become effective. The purpose of this document is to inform you of proposed changes to the Illinois Constitution and provide you with a brief explanation and a summary of the arguments in favor of and in opposition to the proposed amendment.

Proposed changes in the existing constitutional amendment are indicated by underscoring all new matter and by crossing with a line all matter which is to be deleted.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ADD SECTION 11 TO ARTICLE IX OF THE ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION ARTICLE IX – REVENUE SECTION 11. TRANSPORTATION FUNDS (a) No moneys, including bond proceeds, derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes relating to registration, title, or operation or use of vehicles, or related to the use of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or to fuels used for propelling vehicles, or derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes relating to any other transportation infrastructure or transportation operation, shall be expended for purposes other than as provided in subsections (b) and (c). (b) Transportation funds may be expended for the following: the costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation, including statutory refunds and adjustments provided in those laws; payment of highway obligations; costs for construction, reconstruction, maintenance, repair, and betterment of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or other forms of transportation; and other statutory highway purposes. Transportation funds may also be expended for the State or local share of highway funds to match federal aid highway funds, and expenses of grade separation of highways and railroad crossings, including protection of at-grade highways and railroad crossings, and, with respect to local governments, other transportation purposes as authorized by law. (c) The costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation shall be limited to direct program expenses related to the following: the enforcement of traffic, railroad, and motor carrier laws; the safety of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, or airports; and the construction, reconstruction, improvement, repair, maintenance, operation, and administration of highways, under any related provisions of law or any purpose related or incident to, including grade separation of highways and railroad crossings. The limitations to the costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation under this subsection (c) shall also include direct program expenses related to workers’ compensation claims for death or injury of employees of the State’s transportation agency; the acquisition of land and the erection of buildings for highway purposes, including the acquisition of highway rights-of-way or for investigations to determine the reasonable anticipated future highway needs; and the making of surveys, plans, specifications, and estimates for the construction and maintenance of flight strips and highways. The expenses related to the construction and maintenance of flight strips and highways under this subsection (c) are for the purpose of providing access to military and naval reservations, defense-industries, defense-industry sites, and sources of raw materials, including the replacement of existing highways and highway connections shut off from general use at military and naval reservations, defense-industries, and defense-industry sites, or the purchase of rights-of-way. (d) None of the revenues described in subsection (a) of this Section shall, by transfer, offset, or otherwise, be diverted to any purpose other than those described in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section. (e) If the General Assembly appropriates funds for a mode of transportation not described in this Section, the General Assembly must provide for a dedicated source of funding. (f) Federal funds may be spent for any purposes authorized by federal law.

EXPLANATION The proposed amendment adds a new Section to the Revenue Article of the Illinois Constitution that provides revenue generated from transportation related taxes and fees (referred to as “transportation funds”) shall be used exclusively for transportation related purposes. Transportation related taxes and fees include motor fuel taxes, vehicle registration fees, and other taxes and user fees dedicated to public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit (buses and rail), ports, or airports.

Under the proposed amendment, transportation funds may be used by the State or local governments only for the following purposes: (1) costs related to administering transportation and vehicle laws, including public safety purposes and the payment of obligations such as bonds; (2) the State or local share necessary to secure federal funds or for local government transportation purposes as authorized by law; (3) the construction, reconstruction, improvement, repair, maintenance, and operation of highways, mass transit, and railroad crossings; (4) expenses related to workers’ compensation claims for death or injury of transportation agency employees; and (5) to purchase land for building highways or buildings for to be used for highway purposes.

This new Section is a limitation on the power of the General Assembly or a unit of local government to use, divert, or transfer transportation funds for a purpose other than transportation. It does not, and is not intended to, impact or change the way in which the State and local governments use sales taxes, including the sales and excise tax on motor fuel, or alter home rule powers granted under this Constitution. It does not seek to change the way in which the State funds programs administered by the Illinois Secretary of State, Illinois Department of Transportation, and operations by the Illinois State Police directly dedicated to the safety of roads, or entities or programs funded by units of local government. Further, the Section does not impact the expenditure of federal funds, which may be spent for any purpose authorized by federal law.

FORM OF BALLOT Proposed Amendment to the 1970 Illinois Constitution Explanation of Amendment The proposed amendment adds a new section to the Revenue Article of the Illinois Constitution. The proposed amendment provides that no moneys derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes, relating to registration, titles, operation, or use of vehicles or public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, or airports, or motor fuels, including bond proceeds, shall be expended for other than costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation, costs for construction, reconstruction, maintenance, repair, and betterment of public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or other forms of transportation, and other statutory highway purposes, including the State or local share to match federal aid highway funds. You are asked to decide whether the proposed amendment should become part of the Illinois Constitution.

YES –––– NO

Byron shows talent with 47-12 win over Hawks

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com

The Oregon football team fell to 1-5 for the year with a 47-12 loss to Byron on Sept.

30.

This was no ordinary loss to a run-of-the-mill team.

“This is one of the top Byron teams in the last 20 years,” Oregon coach John Bothe said. “The (state championship) 1999 team is still the gold standard there, but this team seems on a par with the best teams in the last 20 years. They are a state-title contender if they are able to stay healthy and continue to improve.”

Byron moves to 6-0 and 5-0 in league play. Unfortunately, the Tigers will not play coleader Genoa-Kingston (6-0) or third-place Dixon (5-1) in the quirky 11-team BNC schedule.

Thanks to a long run by

Caleb Mennen early in the game on fourth down, Oregon matched Byron’s first score with a touchdown of its own.

After that, the Hawks had difficulty keeping up with Byron’s superior depth, size and talent.

“Their line play is very good and it is tough to stop their offense,” Bothe said.

“They control the ball very well and their defense has a lot of speed and ability.”

The Tigers had 437 yards of total offense to 167 for Oregon. They also had 25 first downs to only seven for the Hawks.

A third-quarter touchdown of 25 yards by Jacob Cullen pulled Oregon to within 3512. Mennen and Cullen had 65 and 60 yards rushing.

Bothe saw a lot of positives in the loss.

“We played excellent in a lot of spots and did not turn the ball over,” he said. “Also, the team is still playing

extremely hard, which is a credit to their character. Both teams played very physical throughout the game.”

Nolan Bielskies had 124 yards on the ground and Justin Martinez had 94 for the Tigers.

At this point in conference play, Byron, G-K, Dixon, Lutheran, Winnebago appear headed for the playoffs. The biggest surprise has been Stillman Valley (1-5) missing the playoffs for the third year in a row after claiming a 3A state title in 2013.

The Cardinals have been saddled with the toughest BNC schedule, playing all five potential BNC playoff teams, along with 4A powerhouse Johnsburg.

Oregon travels to Rockford Lutheran this Friday and then to Stillman on Oct. 14.

Lutheran is on a 4-game winning streak after starting the year with losses to G-K and Byron.

Ali Scheidecker came within a whisker of bringing home the Big Northern individual golf title.

Scheidecker and Natalie Hooper of Rockford Lutheran both shot 81s at the par-72 Timber Pointe course last Wednesday in Poplar Grove.

After three playoff holes, it was the sophomore Hooper emerging as the winner on a long day that featured rain, wind and cold.

Scheidecker shot a 38 on her first nine, playing in some of the worst weather.

She carded a 43 the rest of the way.

“Ali did an outstanding job all day long,” Oregon coach Jim Spratt said. She drove the ball accurately. She hit iron shots solid and chipped and putted consistently all day. She never let up during the course of 18 holes.”

In the playoff, Scheidecker nearly won it on the first two

holes, but saw long putts die on the edge of the cup.

“It was a great job in the playoff,” Spratt said.

Abi Scheidecker also finished as an all-conference performer with an 87.

“Abi played very well with the exception of taking eights on two holes,” Spratt said.

She drove it great, hit irons solidly and putted extremely well. She may have been playoff bound too, if not for the two bad holes.”

Haley Repass added a 98, good for 10th place and allconference status.

“It was her first medal ever in golf,” Spratt said. “Haley has been very consistent as of late and is playing well at just the right time.”

Byron, which won the BNC meet with a 359, tied Lutheran for the conference title, as dual meets were also included.

Oregon had a score of 401 strokes, with Lutheran second to Byron with 371.

Rock Falls (472), Winnebago (476), Stillman Valley (508), Mendota (5170 and Genoa-

Kingston (569) rounded out the scoring.

“It was very satisfying to finish third behind a couple very tough teams,” Spratt said.

Lutheran was 7-0 in dual meets, while Byron was 6-1.

Oregon was 5-2 and finished third among the eight-team conference, also taking into account its finish at Timber Pointe.

“The girls did an outstanding job of battling the wind and rain all day,” Spratt said. “It was a cold 56 degrees, drizzly and very windy. But, they played great all day and focused on the task at hand. I am proud of their efforts.”

Other Oregon individual scores were Isabelle Nelson at 139, Alex Ocampo 135 and Elizabeth Villareal 150.

“I’m looking forward to seeing the development of those three over the course of the IHSA series,” Spratt said. “I believe they have it in them to surprise us with some good 18-hole scores.”

Disapointing day for Hawks

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com It was disappointing finish for the Oregon boys golf team at the Big Northern Conference meet on Sept.

30. The Hawks took ninth out of 11 teams with a score of 407.

Defending 1A state champ Byron won the meet with a score of 331. Upstart Winnebago was next at 341, followed by Rockford Christian with 342 and Dixon with 348.

No. 1 golfer Matt Myers had an 83 to take seventh

individually.

His allconference performance added to an already impressive resume as a 4-year Hawk golfer.

“Matt did a great job of battling all day,” Oregon Coach Jim Spratt said. “With the exception of two shots, he putted and hit solidly all day from tee to green. It is nice to see a senior golfer get rewarded for consistency and being there day in and day out and working on his game.”

Trent Snodgrass and Connor Hurd of Byron went 1-2 with scores of 76 and 77.

Freshman Marcus Smith

of Winnebago and Cole Ruckman of Dixon tied for third with 78, as no one else bettered 80 on the tough Timber Creek course.

Other scorers for Oregon were Matt Slouka (96), Jackson Buck (103) and Case Sellers (125).

“I’m really proud of them – battling 20-30 MPH winds,” Spratt said. “In some aspects, it was their best rounds of the year when you factor in 18 holes. They should be commended for the efforts made in keeping their composure, knowing Turn to B2

Girls are second at final home cross country meet

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com The Oregon boys and girls cross-country teams had its last regular season home meet on Senior night on Sept. 28.

The girls took second among four teams and the boys were fourth out of five teams.

Nava-Moyoti placed fourth with a time of 22:26 on the 3-mile Park West course. Freshman Cynthia Nyderek, who looks to be the heir apparent to NavaMoyoti, was sixth at 22:57.

“Myra has had a great career here and been a pleasure to have around,” Oregon coach Tim Gipper said. ‘She has worked hard to be our No. 1 runner.”

The next two finishers were also freshmen, giving hopes for a budding program.

Olivia Lambrigsten was 13th with a 23:58 clocking and Breanna DeHaan next at 24:02.

Sophomores Katelyn Byerly (24:52) and Brook Harris (27:18) were 16th and 31st.

Sandwiched between them was Schendel at 25:41.

“What’s impressive is everyone is improving on their times,” Tim Gipper said. “Cinja is really coming on.”

Durand-Pecatonica won

the meet with 34 points, followed by the Lady Hawks with 45. West Carroll had 68 and North Boone 74.

On the boys side, Ian Hussung was third overall, with a 17:49. Grant Munsun of Durand-Pec was first at

16:56.

Sport Column Running events are alive and well in the area

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com

has opened up its doors to everyone and a key benefit is the mental and physical health for all. Here in Oregon, there has been an explosion of runners pounding the pavement and parks.

Women have been at the forefront of this movement and both races this weekend were examples of this.

In the 50-mile race at Hennepin, it was a woman whipping all the male entrants with a time under seven hours. At Oregon, it seemed like there were more women than men entered.

At the AOP run, there was a slight controversy with much of field taking a wrong turn and running and extra half mile or so. Instead of finishing up around Hawk Drive as the route specified, a small group were mistakenly directed onto the boardwalk by a bystander and numerous others followed like lemmings.

Plus, there was an arrow pointing that way from a previous event that may have led to confusion.

Eventually, the error was detected and the remaining runners did not run the extra

mileage on the boardwalk.

Thus, the final results were skewed and many an irate runner came across the finish line, having run the extra distance.

Winner Caleb Jenks of Sullivan, Wisconsin was the only early finisher not to go off course and his time of 17:09 was four minutes better than those on the boardwalk.

Standing at the finish line, I was wondering where everyone else was. Soon I found out as the complaints starting rolling in from disgruntled runners.

Meet announcer Tim Gipper apologized over and over again profusely, but it was too late to rectify the situation.

No matter what, there needs to be a spirit of forgiveness, a component sorely missing in our society.

Remember, forgiveness benefits us more than it does the real or perceived offender.

Sacha Pruett tirelessly volunteered her own time to make this event fun for all ages and tried to cover all bases. It was unfair for her to be brought to tears over this incident.

Though it screwed up finishing times of medals for lots of people, shouldn’t the race be more about experiencing the joy of running than one’s time or place finish?

Actually, a positive can grow from this. Why not expand the race to include the boardwalk next year and make it a 3.68-mile race instead of the standard 3-miler?

Everyone puts on a 3-mile race, but who puts on a 3.68er?

Nobody, but Oregon.

That’s a unique and would utilize one of the gems of our town – the park district’s boardwalk.

As I spent Saturday and Sunday assisting in two long-distance races, it was heart warming to see how much enthusiasm there was for each.

On Saturday, I was south of Rock Falls at mile marker 15 on the Hennepin Canal. A handful of us were handing out drinks and snacks to 127 runners attempting to run 100 miles and another 95 going for “only” 50 miles.

You ever wonder how long it takes to run 100 miles?

Well, the winner did it in 14 hours, 22 minutes.

On Sunday, it was runners of all ages taking part in the Stephanie Kaskavage, Oregon, pushes her children Jameson, age 4, Graham age 3, Autumn on Parade 1-Mile and Caroline, age 1, as they run with her sister in-law Jillian Kaskavage during the Fun Run and 5K Race.

Howard W. Fox Howard W. Fox, 100, formerly of Oregon, died in the early morning on Saturday, Sept. 24, 2016 at Crestridge Assisted Living, Dodgeville, Wisconsin, where he had been living since 2011.

Howard was born July 13, 1916, in rural western Kansas (Rozel).

His parents (deceased), Arthur Baker Fox and Lou Ida Mae Belle Smith, were wheat farmers in Pawnee County, Kansas.

Howard lived at this farm until he attended Kansas State University for one semester right after high school.

He married Eunice Erma Haun (deceased) on Aug. 22, 1936, and together they set off the next day for Michigan State University to study forestry.

As a youth, Fox had always said he wanted to be a forester despite that there wasn’t a tree within seven miles of where he grew up, except for planted ones around farmsteads.

After graduating, Fox spent two years as a forester in northern Michigan, then moved to Oregon, Illinois, to work on a timber production war project with the National Forest Service and the University of Illinois.

Fox accepted a job as head forester in 1947 at Sinnissippi Forest in Ogle County, near Oregon, part of the Gov. Lowden estate.

Sinnissippi Forest was the first tree farm (1948), and the biggest, in Illinois.

It is here that he made his life’s career and became well-known in the community with his passion for woodworking, nature, travel, service, and helping others.

For more than three decades, Fox managed all of Sinnissippi Forests’s timberland, tree planting, and even released the first turkeys in northern Illinois.

He set up Sinnissippi

Dennis S. Johnson Dennis (Denny) Scott Johnson, 52, died Monday, Sept. 19, 2016 at his home on the family farm in Pine Creek Township.

He was born on Feb. 26, 1964 in Rockford to Neil D. and Sandra Ann (Warfield) Johnson.

Dennis grew up on the farm helping his father in the

Forest’s Christmas tree business; the first Christmas tree was sold in 1948, and the last a few years ago when this part of the business terminated.

In addition to managing the business of Sinnissippi Forest and sawmill, Fox was an assistant professor at the University of Illinois and supervised summer forestry camps at Sinnissippi and conducted forestry research with collaborators at the University of Illinois.

Midway through his career, he completed a master’s degree at Northern Illinois University, DeKalb.

He was a long-time member of the Society of American Foresters.

Fox retired as an active forester in 1976, then did consulting forestry for eight years after that. After retirement, Fox also led schoolchildren on hundreds of nature walks, many of them through the Lutheran Outdoor Ministries Camp, Oregon.

After retirement, Fox designed and built his house on eight acres of land at the edge of Sinnissippi Forest given to him by the owner of the forest.

Fox built this house largely from lumber of Sinnissippi Forest, from trees he himself had planted years before.

In 1992-93, the Lowden grandsons sold much of Sinnissippi Forest to the State of Illinois to create the 2,225-acre LowdenMiller State Forest.

fields and graduated from Mt. Morris High School in the Class of 1983.

He worked side jobs but continued to farm and raise animals until he died.

He is survived by his mother, Sandra Johnson, Casper, Wyoming; three sisters, Pamela Turek, Rockford, Kimberly Bowman, Haldane, Crystal;

Fox was very active in the Boy Scouts, starting as the founder and scoutmaster of a small troop of boys living at Sinnissippi Farms and vicinity, then as a scout executive in the Blackhawk Area Council of northern Illinois.

He was awarded the Silver Beaver Award, a prestigious service award of the Boy Scouts of America.

Fox was very active in the Oregon United Methodist Church and made numerous mission trips to Africa and South America to help build facilities for rural, developing churches.

Among other hobbies, Fox was an expert in marquetry, a type of visual art in which pictures are made of inlaid pieces of different colored veneer wood.

Fox made hundreds of these unique pieces and selected the particular pieces of veneer to combine harmoniously into usually a scene from nature.

He showed his work at various art exhibits, including New York’s Museum of Modern Art. He spent many years teaching this craft locally at Rock River Center, Oregon.

Fox was the founder of a nature club in Oregon called the Whale Watchers, and together this group (and also the seniors from the Stump Jumpers) made many visits to special places of nature in northern Illinois.

Howard and Eunice had four children, Ronald (deceased), Dorothy Martin, of Atwater, California, Stanley, Stillwater, Oklahoma, and Debra Eide, Spring Green, Wisconsin; seven grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren.

Fox’s remains have been cremated and a memorial service is planned for later at Oregon.

Fox’s ashes will be buried in the Larned, Kansas, Cemetery next to those of his wife Eunice.

Rodgers, Casper, Wyoming; uncle, Jerry Warfield; and multiple nieces and nephews.

Dennis was preceded in death by his brother, Duane Johnson; and his father, Neil D. Johnson.

Please join the family for a celebration of life on Saturday, Oct. 8 from 2 to 4 p.m. at Maggie’s Idle Hour, Mt. Morris.

NO INDIVIDUAL, unless licensed or holding a permit as a childcare facility, may cause to be published any advertisement soliciting a child care service.* A childcare facility that is licensed or operating under a permit issued by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services may publish advertisements of the services for which it is lispecifically censed or issued a permit. Sauk Valley Media strongly urges any parent or guardian to verify the validity of the license of any facility before placing a child in it's care. *Family homes that care for no more than three (3) children under the age of twelve or which receive only children from a single household, for less than 24 hours per day, are exempt from licensure as day care homes.

The three children to whom this exemption applies includes the family's natural or adopted children and any other persons under the age of 12 whether related or unrelated to the operator of the day care home. (DCFS Rule, Part 377.3 (c))
