Black Hawk Statue should be done next summer

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com Project engineer Amy LambWoods said Tuesday that restoration work on the Black Hawk Statue should be completed next summer.

“We are still in the mockup

phase and CSOS [Conservation of Sculpture & Objects Studio, Forest Park] is still working on submittals and samples,” said Lamb-Woods, an engineer with Chicago-based Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SG&H), in an email.

Both CSOS and SG&H are under

contract, she said, with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) to repair the damage to the 104-year-old statue that stands on a high bluff overlooking the Rock River at Lowden State Park near Oregon.

Time and weather have damaged

the statue to the point that portions of the exterior have crumbled and fallen off.

The folded arms of the statue, especially the elbows and underneath the arms; the middle of the robe; and the vertical fold in the robe from armpit to toe are the

critical areas.

Work crews began cleaning the statue during the summer and doing mock-ups to see what samples of materials would work best for the repairs.

Students get taste of Voyageur life

By Earleen Hinton ehinton@oglecountynews.com Sixth graders from the Oregon Elementary School have spent the last few days learning about French trappers and the fur trade in early America.

On Tuesday, those students got a brief taste of how arduous that life could be.

“I may kiss the ground in a second,” announced Cassandra Aylward as the 35-foot replica Voyager canoe returned to the Lowden State Park boat docks on Ill. 2.

Students from Tandy Howard’s class were one of several classes that climbed into the canoe from the boat docks and then paddled downstream to the Black Hawk Statue before turning

around and paddling back.

A brisk wind with temperatures in the mid 50s made the journey back a bit challenging.

“We were fighting against the current and the wind,” said Isabella Koertner. “It was fun though.”

Howard said her students studied the fur trade before the hands-on experience.

“They learned about French trappers and their lives and the beaver trade,” she said.

“We learned a song and we each took the name of a different Voyageur,” said Cassandra Nyderek. “It was hard, but it was fun.”

The paddling event was organized by Mark Herman, education superintendent for the Byron Forest Preserve.

“The canoe is a replica of a 1700s Voyageur canoe that is owned by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. We had more than 350 fifth and sixth grade students from Byron, Stillman Valley, and Oregon take paddle trips during the last two weeks.”

Herman said the canoe was originally made for the nation’s bicentennial.

“We picked it up in Peoria where it is stored. There are only two of these in the state,” he said.

Andy Wilson, who wore shorts to the paddle event, was one of the first to disembark. “Yes I had fun, but my hands are freezing,” he said smiling.

For more information about the Voyageur canoe, contact Herman at 815-234-8535, extension 217.

Firefighters from three counties battled a winddriven field fire late Monday afternoon that burned more than 100 acres near Stillman Valley.

“We got multiple reports about 4:45 of a fire in a corn field that had been picked,” said Stillman Valley Deputy Fire Chief Greg Kunce. “We were there in three minutes, and by the time we got there it had already taken off toward a wooded tree line and went into a field of standing corn.”

Kunce, who is also a lieutenant on the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department, said winds of 35 to 40 mph fanned the blaze, causing it to spread rapidly.

Because the fire was near a residential area and farm buildings, Kunce said 14 fire departments from Ogle, Winnebago, and DeKalb Counties were called to help get the fire under control.

The fire started, he said,

out in a field approximately a half-mile north of Stillman Valley on Stillman Valley Road, in an area where a work crew had been installing new utility poles.

Kunce said the crew had just left for the day about 20 minutes before the fire was reported.

He said the preliminary investigation indicates that heat from some of the equipment the crew was using may have ignited the cornstalks.

“This is not suspicious at all, but we do want to stress situational awareness,” he said. “It’s that time of year that we want everyone to be aware of the potential for fires.”

He said winds can carry burning embers onto roofs, igniting buildings.

Firefighters remained on the scene for three hours, and then were called back a short time later when some trees rekindled.

Twelve new utility poles, each valued at $500, were destroyed in the fire, and a skid steer sustained an estimated $2,500 in damage, Kunce said.

The field of standing corn was also damaged, but he did Turn to A2

Sewer lining project is discussed by Oregon officials

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com City officials took the next step Tuesday night to decide what preventative maintenance might be needed to make the sewer pipes last for decades.

“This is important for the finances of the city,” said

commissioner Terry Schuster. “We are taking precautionary steps. We have weaknesses in our system.”

Commissioners learned about sewer lining from two representatives from Visu Sewer, Milwaukee Wisconsin.

The company televised the system last winter and provided city officials with a detailed report about the integrity of the sewer lines.

A total of 75,000 feet of sewer pipes were inspected and 22,000 feet is in need of some attention.

The city has the option to dig up and replace the lines, or hire a company to line the pipes which will extend the service life of the pipe for up to 40 years.

“Our lining is a structural pipe and requires no excavation,” said Visu Sewer sales representative

Bob Moen. “Lining controls I and I (Inflow and Infiltration) and you get a new pipe.”

The system is a long felt tube that is inverted in the sewer pipe, and through a reaction is turned into a solid pipe.

Lining can be done on pipes from 6 inches in diameter to 80 inches in diameter.

Moen said the city would see a

significant savings by lining sewer pipes instead of excavating and replacing the pipes.

An estimated cost for lining pipes is $35 per foot while excavating and replacing can cost $200 per foot.

Lining can be done on pipes that have not collapsed, but pipes can have cracks and breaks in them, said Moen. When a pipe collapses Turn to A2

Hickory Grove manager said she just needed help

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com A Rochelle businesswoman said she just wanted a little help when she started seeking board members to sit on the Ogle County Civic Center Authority (OCCCA).

Robin Baldwin-Gounaris said Oct. 1 that the repairs at the Hickory Grove Banquet Center, 1127 N. Seventh St., were straining her budget, and she wanted board members who have the same goal she does — keeping the business open.

“I went out and looked for people who could help save Hickory Grove,” she said.

A Rochelle native, Baldwin-Gounaris, 57, lived in Chicago for many years and returned to Rochelle a decade ago and began managing Hickory Grove, which now includes Hickory Grove Banquets, Abraham’s Bar & Grille, deVine Wine bar, The Pump Club, and Abe’s Tiki Bar. She came under fire Sept. 15 at the Ogle County Board meeting when board member Bruce McKinney, Rochelle, voiced his opposition to the appointment of an applicant to OCCCA. McKinney objected because he said Baldwin-Gounaris has too much influence on who was applying for seats on OCCCA. The State’s Attorney, Juvenile, & Probation Committee interviews

applicants for OCCCA and then recommends who should be appointed to the county board, which makes the actual appointment.

According to Ogle County State’s Attorney Eric Morrow OCCCA owns Hickory Grove and has authority over it.

“As far as I know the civic center authority is the owner,” he said Monday.

“The county’s only responsibility is appointing the board [OCCCA] members.”

It’s not as if OCCCA board members appeared enthusiastic to serve.

From A1 Lorado Taft, the concrete statue was poured in December of 1910 and unveiled and dedicated in 1911 as a tribute to all Native Americans.

Over the years, it has undergone numerous repairs.

The statue was encased in plastic mesh last winter to protect it from further damage from cold, ice, and snow.

The protective covering has been left in place because it is also rain-proof and allows the crew to work in wet weather.

Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, the statue was named to a less desirable list earlier this year.

Landmarks Illinois placed it on its list of Most Endangered Historic Places in April.

The cost of the restoration

is estimated at $825,000, of which nearly $750,000 has been raised by the Friends of the Black Hawk Statue, headed up by Frank and Cherron Rausa, Rock Falls, through donations, grants, and fundraisers.

Checks for the restoration

Sewer linings a topic

From A1 there is no way to insert the lining into the pipe and excavating and replacing is the only way.

Schuster said lining can be viewed as a low cost preventative maintenance with up front costs which would allow the city to improve the sewer without the costs of replacing the pipes.

When the lining is installed, sewer service to the buildings is temporarily unavailable for five or more hours.

Business services could be done during overnight hours to limit the impact on the business, Moen said. and easy to attend.”

Mayor’s Corner

By Ken Williams Oregon Mayor You may have noticed things appearing in our downtown store windows.

We all agree empty storefronts are not the look we want or need downtown so this is a short term program to fill vacant storefronts with merchandise or displays from retailers that do not have a downtown presence.

For more permanent solutions we continue to work on a number of strategies.

These include: 1.

Updating the Comprehensive Plan that was last done in 2003.

Already approved by the council this project focuses on long term growth as it relates to zoning, land use and development.

We will be asking for community input with a

Ken Williams

survey and a town hall meeting.

2. We are bringing in Western Illinois University experts who assist small towns with their economic and community development.

This group creates feasible and short term projects to reach our long term goals.

The key outcome here is short term and feasible. It

has already been started.

3. Review and update our outdated city ordinances and code.

While the majority of this will be done after the comprehensive plan is finished we already have a subcommittee working on downtown parking.

The goal is to make it easier for people to stop and shop downtown. Next up will be business signage.

4. Business recruitment is an ongoing project. Some members of Economic Development and I visited Fulton where they established a program to attract private money to restore their downtown.

Terry Schuster visited Lena who had a novel but effective approach to economic development.

We all came away with lots of good ideas that can be applied to Oregon. We are scheduling a recruitment

timeline for the project.

He also recommended the council to examine having work done on the buildings housing wells, 2, 3, and 4.

“We are working on a fee structure to pay for the project,” Barnes said. “When we get a fee structure figured out we will discuss this again.”

City officials have submitted plans to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) for water department upgrades. The preliminary plan approved in June was for up to $5.5 million.

The well buildings are a portion of this preliminary plan.

Water and wastewater manager Dave Kent said the project could be broken down into smaller pieces and done over multiple years.

Fire destroys 100 acres and strong winds Monday, area firefighters were called to several more field and brush fires, including one at the intersection of Montague and Pecatonica Roads, another south of Byron, and one near Sublette.

A combine fire was also reported in a soybean field near Hillcrest.

Lorado Taft’s and John Prasuhn’s Eternal Indian Statue was built during horse & buggy days 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 Lorado Taft was born in Elmhurst in 1860 and died in his home studio in Chicago in 1936.

He graduated from the University of Illinois and studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris for five years.

In 1898 he was a founding member of the Eagle’s Nest Art Colony in Oregon.

John Prasuhn, a young German sculptor, had engineering experience which included the knowledge of working with concrete.

Prasuhn’s engineering knowledge and hands-on labor is why our Eternal Indian (now Black Hawk) stands today 105 years old.

Taft gave Prasuhn credit saying he lived with the great Indian statue for a period of two years.

The time period in which Black Hawk was built in 1910 was still the horse and buggy days in Oregon.

We saw our first horseless carriage in Oregon in 1905.

Destinations not practical for horse and buggies were reached by trains. The C&I train depot was built in 1871.

Today, without cranes, ready-mix concrete, jack hammers, tube scaffolding, electricity available at the construction site, electric driven tools, and dump trucks, we would consider the task of constructing Black Hawk a pipe dream.

I wonder what the locals thought when they observed the construction of this monument, not located in Chicago, New York, Washington D. C., but here

on a bluff overlooking Oregon, Illinois.

The Eternal Indian Lynn Allen Young wrote what Taft told a reporter; “I did not study one type of race of Indians. It is a composite of the Foxes, the Sacs, the Sioux, and the Mohawks, and in short represents the Indian personality. I have left off the usual Indians trappings, the feathers and buckskin and other conventional signs.”

Taft was familiar with the Rock River Valley’s rich Indian heritage.

Once a site was chosen along the east side of Rock River, Prasuhn, using a wagon rigged with vertical lengths of lumber, determined the visibility from across the river.

He determined the finished statue must be seven times the height of their six foot model. Blackhawk is 42 feet high on a six-foot base.

Crews spent the summer of 1910 working on the molds and using picks and shovels removed six feet of soil and three feet of bedrock to hold the statue foundation.

During this time they secured box loads of cement and granite chips, a borrowed hand mixer, and two steam engines.

Building the statue was a three-step process.

First a mold seven times larger than the six-foot tall

The entire scaffold around the statue was wrapped in burlap canvas to hold the heat supplied by the steam engine.

model was constructed.

The mold for the head was constructed of clay and the torso mold built using steel rods, wood, wire, and plastered burlap to simulate the draping of an Indian blanket.

The large head mold was worked on near Taft’s house at the Eagles Nest camp.

The next step was coating the mold with a layer of plaster which would eventually serve as the outer mold for the concrete pour which we see today.

The inside of the statue is shaped similar to a silo.

Looking up from the pit you can look up and see light coming in through a small window located just above his folded arms.

The head of the statue is solid concrete.

The third and final step was mixing and filling the mold with concrete.

One steam engine was located on the river bank supplying power to eventually pump 65,000 gallons of water from the

river up the 200-foot bank.

The second steam engine sat beside the statue and supplied heat inside the muslin and burlap canvas covered scaffolding.

Filling the mold with concrete started in November of 1910.

Ruby Mammen from Oregon used the derrick to hoist the buckets of concrete, and Prasuhn worked the concrete between the molds.

Two crews of 28 men working 12-hour shifts worked days and nights for 10 days.

Black Hawk was left in the mold until the spring of 1911 when the protective mold was removed.

Having been in construction, it’s interesting to me that it took 412 barrels of Portland cement and 65,000 gallons of river water to make 238 cubic yards of concrete.

This would be approximately 30 ready mix loaded trucks today, or when I helped pour concrete in 1953, 2,102 wheel barrows

full of concrete.

This is a very limited version of the building of Black Hawk.

Why did they pour concrete during the winter?

The winter before the cast for Black Hawk was leveled by a winter storm so this time they poured concrete as

soon as the mold was ready.

Blackhawk was built on the private property of Wallace Heckman.

As you view Black Hawk remember the time and effort to design and build this 105-year-old monument to the American Indians.

The plaster mold was removed to reveal the Black Hawk statue. Photos supplied by Otto Dick

The head and torso molds are in place for the statue.

The plaster head mold is being raised in preparation for the final piece molds.

Casey’s coming to Mt. Morris

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The Mt. Morris Economic Development Committee (EDC) had more good news Tuesday for the village board — a new convenience store is coming to town.

Committee member Rob Urish introduced architect Ryan Swanson, from Arc Design Resources, Loves Park, who broke the news.

“We’re proposing to build a Casey’s General Store,” Swanson said.

The store will be built on the southeast corner of McKendrie Avenue and Ill. 64 (Hitt Street).

“It’s very similar to what you see in Oregon,” he said, as he showed the board preliminary drawings.

The store will have four gas pumps with eight fueling stations, Swanson said.

Casey’s officials already have agreements to buy the five parcels of property where the new store will be located, he said.

The properties include four houses and the former Brad’s IGA Store.

The houses are one on the corner owned by Jerry Stauffer, and the two to the east of that on Ill. 64 owned

by Gary DeSmedt and Larry Wilson,and one on Main Street owned by Tom Messer.

The former grocery store is owned by Northern Illinois Coin & Stamp, Elgin.

Swanson said one parcel may need to be rezoned for the business, but the others are already zoned correctly.

He said Casey’s officials hope to close on the properties by the end of the year with construction slated to start in the spring. The store will likely open next fall, he said.

“This is very exciting news,” said village trustee Phil Labash.

“So it’s a definite go?” asked village president Dan Elsasser.

“Yes,” Swanson replied.

He said it was approved by Casey’s officials Tuesday morning.

Casey’s is headquartered in Ankeny, Iowa, and builds its stores mainly in small municipalities.

The convenience store chain opened a new store in Oregon in June and another in Byron in August. Both replaced older stores in those communities.

Casey’s stores are also located in Polo, Stillman Valley, Rochelle, and Hillcrest.

The news about Casey’s comes on the heels of EDC’s announcement Sept. 22 that an online pharmacy plans to open in the next several months in the downtown at 12 W. Main St. Urish told the board

then that TelePharm will stock commonly requested prescriptions at the site, which will be manned by pharmacy technicians.

Prescriptions can be ordered online or in person at the pharmacy.

Technicians and customers will have access to a licensed pharmacist based at another location.

A new Sullivan’s Foods store on Ill. 64 recently held its “soft” opening, replacing an older, less modern grocery store.

The laundromat on Ill. 64 is being remodeled and is slated to open for business early next year.

Elsasser thanked the EDC for its efforts on behalf of the village.

“I know you’ve been working behind the scenes and don’t always get credit for that,” he said.

Benefit 5K race set for Oct. 24 A Pink Up the Pace 5K and one mile run will be held on Saturday, Oct. 24 to help a Mt. Morris family with medical expenses.

The event is being held to benefit Christa Heitter, who is battling recurring cancer.

Heitter and her husband Seth are the parents of two.

She also operates the Little Gems Daycare out of her home.

After beating breast cancer in 2012, Heitter is back in the ring to take on cancer again.

This time, cancer has reappeared in her bones and lymph nodes, an automatic classification of stage 4.

Recently Heitter has undergone radiation for several cancerous spots on her brain.

Although no cure is available, there is a chance of remission. It is likely the cancer will continue reoccurring.

Because of the multiple expenses the Heitter family has incurred and will continue to incur throughout

the process, the 5K and run are planned.

The one mile run will begin at 8:30 a.m. and the 5K will begin at 9 a.m. on Oct. 24.

David L. Rahn Junior High School, Mt. Morris, will be the starting and finishing location for both races.

Registration for this event is recommended prior to the event, and registration forms and race information can be found at the Facebook Page, PINK Up The Pace 5K.

On-site registration the morning of the event is also possible for interested participants.

The 5K is $20 per participant, and the one mile run is $10 per participant.

This race is sponsored by the Oregon High School National Honor Society and DLR Homerooms, with the assistance of many community volunteers.

Shirts were made by Galen Bennett and Kole Bennett of GK Graphics, Byron.

Mike and Kerrie Bowers presented the Class Committee members with a very special gift.

Special thank you to: Steve and Lori Cromie and family, Alfano’s Pizza, GK Graphics, Re/Max, and United Methodist Church.

Milford Bunger and family would like to thank all relatives, friends and neighbors for the many cards, support, and kindness received following our recent sad loss of a beloved wife, mom, grandma and great grandma. Grateful thanks to everyone who attended the funeral service and kindly sent flowers and memorial gifts for the Lighthouse Church or PEO Chapter IU. Special thanks to Rev. David Rogula and Tom Gale of Farrell-Holland-Gale Funeral Home for the beautiful service. The many acts of kindness and sympathy continue to be a great comfort to us in our time of sorrow.

Sincerely the family of Nancy Bunger For those of you that stopped in the Flower Patch to “pass” a message on to Milford, although a seemingly nice gesture, for a man that lost his wife of 63 years a more personal acknowledgement of a call or a card would have been appreciated.

We blame the lack of communication on the youth, but adults are very much to blame as well.

Sincerely Teresa Bunger

Flu shots are now available

By Joanie D. Padilla Director Health Education Emergency Preparedness Ogle County Health Department

Flu season often brings with it many myths and misconceptions with regards to the vaccine used to combat it.

Four common flu vaccine myths and facts are listed below to help you have a healthy flu season.

1. Myth: You can catch the flu from the vaccine.

Fact: The vaccine is made from an inactivated virus that cannot transmit infection.

Those who get sick following the vaccination were going to get sick anyway.

2. Myth: Healthy people do not need to be vaccinated.

Fact: Everyone can benefit from being vaccinated.

The virus can be spread by both healthy and unhealthy people, so if you don’t get it, you could pass it on to

somebody you know.

3. Myth: You don’t need to get a flu shot every year.

Fact: The flu virus changes every year so it is important to vaccinate yourself annually.

This ensures that you have immunity to the strains most likely to cause an outbreak.

4. Myth: Getting the flu vaccination is all you need to do to protect yourself from the flu.

Fact: Though the vaccination is the best protection against the flu it is not the only way to protect against the virus.

Avoiding those who have the flu and regular hand washing are examples of measures that should be taken to ensure your health this flu season.

The Ogle County Health Department is offering flu vaccinations during the month of October.

The fee for a seasonal flu quadrivalent vaccination is

$35.

All dates are for adults only unless otherwise noted.

Medicare billing is available.

Operation Rebuild, a local non-profit organization, is coordinating a building project and looking for volunteers to help Rick and Dawn Geist rebuild their home, which was destroyed in the tornado in Fairdale on April.

The framing of the house is scheduled to begin on Thursday, Oct. 22. Some funds are available for the building materials, but volunteer labor is needed to

help throughout the build for their new home and horse barn.

Rick is an Army veteran.

The family lost their farm, including their home, horse barn, pole barn, some animals and most of their belongings.

After living in a motel with their two dogs for more than four months, they have purchased land in Oregon to rebuild their lives.

Rick and Dawn are

currently staying in a small mobile home on the property and the concrete foundation of their new home is underway.

For more information or to volunteer, contact Regina Smola, project manager at 218-206-3455 or email regina@operationrebuild. org.

Suicide support group will meet Area suicide support groups, Ray of Hope and Touched By Suicide Survivors Gather, are collaborating to sponsor a one-woman show with performances in Rockford and Sterling.

The show will be presented on Friday, Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the U of I College of Medicine, Rockford, and on Saturday, Nov. 21 at 2:30 p.m. at the Sterling High School Auditorium.

It is free and open to the public.

This special event provides a unique format for examining the lifelong process of survival following a suicide.

The solo performer, Jen Tuder, creates three distinct characters that represent different aspects of her survival experience.

Her father’s decision to take his life irrevocably changed hers.

“I wanted to make a show that didn’t simply rehearse pain, but would provide instruction in hope. All kinds of survivors (as well as the general public) will find something in the show that helps them keep body and soul together,” she said.

Most OCCCA members didn’t re-apply From A1 Most board members just stayed on even though their five-year terms expired, without ever applying for reappointment.

Baldwin-Gounaris questions if their service under those circumstances was legal.

Morrow said his research indicates it is.

“How this works is if you’re on a board, you serve until your successor is appointed even if your term is up,” he said.

Sometimes, BaldwinGounaris said only three or four members attended OCCCA meetings, and minutes weren’t always kept.

That, Morrow said, would be illegal — OCCCA, like any other publicly-appointed board is subject to the Illinois

Open Meetings Act, which requires keeping minutes among other things.

Baldwin-Gounaris took matters in her own hands and asked OCCCA members if she could approach people to serve on the board. After getting permission, she set out to do just that.

She found nine people, including her own mother, willing to serve, and they were appointed.

“Having nine new board members who focus on the things I used to means I can concentrate on my business,” she said.” They understand the issues and know that I need help.”

Baldwin-Gounaris said she pays $3,500 a month rent to OCCCA, and over the years extensive repairs to the inside and out have come out of her pocket or through her

fundraising efforts.

With four banquet rooms, a restaurant and bar, and wine room over three floors, that’s draining her budget, she said.

“The ‘old’ board never lifted a finger, never researched grants, never helped me clean up fecal matter when old pipes burst into the lobby, or help clean up from ceilings caving in from the old roof, “ she said.

“I focused so much on saving the building that my actual business started hurting.”

Baldwin-Gounaris would like to see the building restored to its former status, when it was the Vagabond Resort.

“People came from Chicago for a getaway. I swam in the pool when I was a teenager,” she said. “There were bands. I’d like to bring

that back. The building has so much potential. We could hold concerts and other events here.”

Ogle County Board Chairman Kim Gouker said the OCCCA was created in 1983 by a county board resolution.

At that time, he said, state money was available from dog racing to establish and operate civic centers.

“It was put together to take advantage of funding available at the time.

Unfortunately that dried up,” he said.

Morrow said the 1983 resolution was passed by the county board, rather than the Rochelle City Council, because of the population requirement in the state’s metropolitan civic center authority statute at that time.

Oregon-Mt. Morris Beat

Volunteers needed for mission trip to Honduras Group to build houses in Jan.

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Two local men are looking for volunteers to join them for a winter getaway in the tropics — sort of.

Bill Hare, Mt. Morris, and David Poole, Polo, will return to Honduras Jan. 7-17 for a mission trip and are hoping for a few more willing men and women to go with them.

“We’d like to have 15 or 16 people,” Hare said.

The purpose of the trip is to build homes for families who cannot afford the materials for them.

They are going to is Las Palmas, an hour and a half south of the capital city of Tegucigalpa.

Details of the upcoming trip will be available in an informational meeting on Sunday, Oct. 25 at 2 p.m. at the

Polo Church of the Brethren, 401 S. Congress Ave. Hare, a veteran of 30 such mission trips, urged anyone who is interested in making the trip or helping in any way to attend the meeting.

“We need people to go along to learn as well as help us,” he said. “It’s very rewarding.”

Poole said he decided to go after hearing Hare’s presentation several years ago, and since then he’s gone eight times.

“I’m glad I did. It’s very eye-opening,” he said.

His wife Linda, a retired registered nurse, also goes.

Hare explained that the area the group travels to is remote, and its people live in poverty.

The only work available to local residents is seasonal and very labor-intensive.

“If men can find work, they make maybe $3 a day,” he said. “Goods, when they are available, cost about the same as they do here.”

Without modern tools, the jobs they can find are not

easy.

“It’s tremendously hard work,” Hare said.

Compounding the difficulty is that the area has been experiencing a multiyear drought which has diminished the crops they can grow and harvest, he said.

The group of volunteers is tasked with building seven houses in the 10 days they are there. The homes will be simple structures, 18 feet square and made of concrete blocks with corrugated metal roofs and concrete floors.

The concrete blocks used for the houses will be made at the building site.

Volunteers mix the concrete by hand, usually in a large pit in the ground. The sand and gravel that goes into the concrete mixture must be carried from the river banks.

Three blocks can be made at a time, and a good crew can turn out approximately 60 an hour, Hare said.

The Polo Council of Churches gave the money for a block-making machine several years ago, making

the process far easier than before.

Although the new homes are more than modest by U.S. standards, Hare said they are a vast improvement over the stick and mud houses the residents currently have.

Hare explained that the houses are built only for families who have requested them and who have a title to the property.

A local housing committee decides which families will get new homes, based on need.

The home recipients and entire community are happy to pitch in and help with the construction, he said.

“They are very appreciative,” Hare said.

The volunteers going on the mission trip come from all over the local area and several states and will pay their own travel and lodging costs.

They also buy materials for the building projects they help with.

Hare’s group works with the Christian Solidarity Pro-

“If men can find work, they make maybe $3 a day. Goods, when they are available, cost about the same as they do here.”— Bill Hare gram in Honduras.

While they are there, the volunteers will also hold Bible studies for children and adults who choose to attend.

The volunteers take clothing and hand tools with them, which are then sold at Honduran-run garage sales.

Items are priced according to the customer’s ability to pay, and the money raised goes back into the community.

The volunteers stay at a local school and sleep dormitory-style on cots. Cooks are hired to fix meals.

Transportation to the work sites is a flatbed truck or dump truck over dirt roads “paved” with large rocks.

The volunteer crew works from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. typically, in 90 to 100 degree temperatures.

“The humidity is very, very low,” Poole said. “But

it’s hot — you drink a lot of water.”

Hare agreed. “You feel like you’re married to your water bottle,” he said with a grin.

Since 2006, Hare’s Honduras Mission Project working with the Christian Solidarity Program has rehabbed a clinic in San Juan Baptista, and built 52 homes, 32 latrines, 10 small water tanks, and one 10,000 gallon water tank in Los Ranchos and Las Palmas.

Although construction is the primary focus, they have also provided educational sponsorships for youth and adults, and provided food and clothing, job skills training, medical needs, and school supplies.

For more information or to make a contribution to help with the trip call Hare at 815734-4268.

Public Voice Time to attend public hearing Dear Editor, So much for our school district’s commitment to spend its money directly for the benefit of classrooms and children.

On Oct. 19, the Oregon School District #220 Board of Education will sponsor a public hearing that seeks your viewpoint on whether or not it should shift more money into administrative salaries or keep that money

directly for the benefit of classrooms and children.

I hope the entire community is there in force to witness and participate in the event.

In case you hadn’t noticed, the state board of education recently ordered the school district to stop the practice of using the transportation fund to pay for non-transportation administrative salaries.

Transportation funds are intended for the safe and secure transport of students, not for administrators not involved in transportation work.

Boarding • Grooming Dentistry • X-ray Surgical Laser Gas Anesthetic 1381 North 7th Street, Rochelle 815-562-5207 Hours: M-F 8am-5pm • Sat 8am-noon

Because of this order, the school board now needs to find money from a new source to pay for administrative salaries that had been improperly taken from transportation.

The board is required to hold a public hearing on this matter because administrative costs will exceed the state limit allowed without a waiver of the law.

Our schools, children and classrooms are already struggling financially. The number of teachers has already been cut. Class sizes are up. More teacher and

support staff cuts are planned this year.

The board’s top priority should be using its scarce resources for people and programs that are closest to the children and the classrooms.

That means classroom supplies, quality school programs, professional educators and support staff.

The school board should keep its commitment. This is no time for cost shifting and over spending on administrative salaries.

Please come to the public hearing at Monday, Oct. 19,

at 5:30 p.m. at the Oregon School District office located at 206 S. 10th St., Oregon, and say so.

Sincerely, Donald F. Reece Oregon

How sight words can help with learning

remains the same.

These words appear often in our language so learning to read, and eventually write them quickly and automatically will make reading easier.

Additionally, several of these words do not follow regular phonics rules so they need to be learned by heart rather than relying on being able to “sound them out.” For example: said, have, of, they.

The more words a beginning reader can read automatically and quickly, the more fluent his or her reading will be.

Reading fluently makes it much easier to understand what is being read and that understanding is the goal of all reading.

For all of these reasons sight words are an important part of beginning reading in kindergarten and first grade.

Second graders continue to build their sight word knowledge as well.

One idea for working on learning the lists of sight words that come home from school is to make flash cards.

Using index cards or the back of cereal boxes makes the cards sturdier and last longer.

Try to spend a few minutes each day asking your child or grandchild to read the words as you flip through the cards.

Keep the routine quick and keep it positive by telling the child any words that aren’t known yet.

You might make two piles – one that contains the words known quickly and one that still need practice.

As the known pile gets bigger, praise your child for his/her efforts.

Reading Matters

By Mary Gardner Reading Specialist If you have children or grandchildren in kindergarten or first grade you have likely seen lists of words come home called sight, or high-frequency, words.

For this month we will look at what sight words are, the role they play in learning to read, and some ideas for the best ways to help our young readers learn them.

Sight words are selected from lists of high-frequency words.

There are several lists available and they vary slightly, but the intent

repeated practice with sight words as well.

Do a quick search and have your child try some of the games you find. He or she might enjoy practicing in this way.

It is best to also provide opportunities to practice sight words in meaningful context. Many teachers send short books home.

These books contain the sight words in simple sentences with pictures to support early readers.

Listening to your child

read these books to you is an excellent way to support other beginning reading skills as well as learning the sight words.

Another idea is to use the sight words to create your own simple sentences and even make your own books.

For example, use some of the sight words like this: I can see ____. or I go to ____.

Help your child or grandchild fill in the blanks with names of family members or photos of favorite people and places.

Write or type one sentence on a page.

After several are completed, staple the pages together to make a book.

As your child reads and rereads the books she or he is practicing sight words.

Learning to read is hard work. As parents and grandparents our encouragement and support of our young readers is vital.

Practicing sight words with them is one way we can give that support.

Local artist prepares for shows in New York City Mary Salstrom works at Prince Street Gallery April-May 2016

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com An Oregon artist has spent the last few months getting ready for two major shows.

Mary Salstrom has been creating art work a show at the Prince Street Gallery in New York City from April 26 through May 21, and hopes to schedule another later on in Sweden.

Salstrom’s oil paintings depict the colorful landscapes around Oregon, where she grew up, and in Sweden, the homeland of her ancestors.

She is preparing an exchange exhibition with a working title of “Where the Swedes Came From and Where They Settled, 1850 to 1910,” when 1.5 million Swedes from southern Sweden, including her g reet-g reat-g randfather, immigrated to the USA.

For the last 27 years, Salstrom has been doing some of her creative work at the estate of the late Janet McGinn on Ill. 2 north of Oregon.

A carriage house on the property has been converted into a cozy cottage with a spacious art studio where Salstrom does much of her painting.

She also paints at various sites around the area.

Salstrom has always loved to draw, but took no lessons while growing up.

Initially she drew from photographs.

“I knew I could draw,” she said. “My mother always praised my drawing.”

After graduating from Pratt Institute in New York City, she went to Greece.

“I wanted to see the landscape that inspired the poetry,” Salstrom said.

She painted her first landscape while in Crete.

After graduate school, she studied in Maine where she learned to mix colors.

“My teacher there encouraged me to think of color in a different way,” she said.

Salstrom’s mastery of

color is evident in her vivid paintings of the wildflowers growing in local prairies and river scenes.

Salstrom said she especially enjoyed painting

in the garden of the king and queen of Sweden, where she captured the subtle hues of the landscape there.

“I love to experiment and I love technique,” she said.

Salstrom’s oil paintings depict the colorful landscapes around Oregon, where she grew up, and in Sweden, the homeland of her ancestors.

Participating conference schools included: AshtonFranklin Center, Byron, DLR, Forreston, Meridian,

Pecatonica, Polo and Winnebago.

The Eagles first round opponent was Meridian.

The Eagles had defeated Stillman four days earlier so they were hopeful The Cardinals were not going to be beaten again as they stunned the Eagles in two games, 10-25 and 2025.

DLR volleyball team ends regular season The seventh grade Eagle volleyball team from David L. Rahn Junior High concluded their regular season with two matches at Meridian and one with Chadwick.

On Sept. 29, the Eagles traveled to Stillman Valley for a two match contest with the Cardinals.

In the first game of match one, the Eagles couldn’t seem to get things rolling as they dropped game, 14-25.

Brenna Noon was the bright spot for the Eagles with seven points.

The momentum changed in game two as DLR getting their passes to the setter for attacks. The Eagles rebounded for a 25-18 win.

Ella Martin led DLR with six service points.

The Eagles continued to play well in the third and deciding game. After many volleys, the Eagles cruised to a 25-20 victory.

Heather Braden was top server with six points.

In the night’s second match, game one was close.

DLR fell in the first game, 23-25. Just like in the first match, the Eagles rallied back to take game two, 2513.

Victoria Wakenight had

four points in the win.

In the deciding game of the match, the Eagles won a close one, 25-21. Ashlyn Kitzmiller had five points in the victory.

The following night, the Eagles hosted Chadwick to close out their regular season.

The place was packed as the entire Oregon High School volleyball program and the DLR pep band were present.

In game one, the host school was a little nervous as they played hard but dropped the game, 19-25.

The Eagles mounted a comeback in game two, using good ball control and serving. DLR won, 25-21.

Martin, Madyson Black and Sophie Hughes led the team with four service points each.

In the deciding game of the match, the Eagles beat Chadwick in another close one, 25-21.

Grace White had eight points to lead the team to victory.

The Eagles thank everyone who contributed to their annual food drive.

Your donations to the local food pantry are greatly appreciated.

DLR could not seem to get anything going; serving or otherwise.

The Eagles played Forreston in round two.

With all eighteen Eagle players getting a chance to see the court, DLR made quick work of the Cardinals, 25-11 and 25-14.

Madyson Black had 13 straight serves in the second game to propel the team to victory.

In the consolation championship, the Eagles were up against Byron.

Again, all 18 Eagle players saw the court.

Once again, it just

wasn’t the Eagle’s day as they struggled with serve reception and fell to the Tigers in two games, 22-25 and 17-25.

“I’m disappointed that the girls didn’t really show everyone today how much they’ve improved,” stated Coach Gretchen

Nelson at the end of the day. “We’ve come so far since the beginning of the season. When we play Eagle volleyball, we are tough to beat. The girls are definitely ready for the next level and I’m excited about that. They are the future of Oregon volleyball.”

Hawks rout Rockford Christian Life in opener Regional title game is Friday at Park West

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com It was 20 minutes before top seed Oregon scored its first goal against Rockford Christian Life in a 1A regional soccer game, but within five minutes of that first goal – a header by Jarrett Reynolds off a throwin by Kaden Humphrey – the Hawks scored four more times and a 10-1 rout was on.

“It took us a while, but once we got it going, we were firing on all cylinders,” Oregon coach Justyn Laxner said.

Eduardo Guzman, who would go on to have a hat trick on two breakaway goals in the first minute of the second half, made it 2-0 on his first goal. Then, Reynolds got loose for his second score and Christian Life was reeling.

Foreign exchange student, Isidoro Marcos, who has been a valuable addition to the program, scored to make it 4-0 and Trey Wilson, more noted for his defensive play, had a header with 15 minutes left in the first half for the 5-0 lead.

That flurry of goals demoralized the visitors, as Christian Life managed only one shot on goal in the first half.

“That one was even questionable,” scorekeeper

Mike Lawton said. “I looked at John Cain and we wondered if it even counted as a shot.”

The undermanned Eagles were fortunate to only trail 5-0, as the Hawks had eight shots on goals in the first 20 minutes that either hit the post or went high.

“We got tired and didn’t have enough subs to keep up with them,” CL coach Nathaniel Goodrich said.

In a crowd-pleaser for the Oregon bench, Anni Wilson scored the next two goals to make it 7-0. The first was off a penalty kick and the other a header off a rebound.

“What impressed me most about Oregon was their physicality,” Goodrich said.

With a 7-0 lead going into the second half, the game was shortened to a 20-minute half instead of 40 and a running Oregon’s Isidoro Marcos scores connects for a goal against Rockford Christian Life during the Class 1A soccer clock was used.

After a smiling Marcos regional at Oregon Park West on Tuesday. Oregon led 7-0 at the half. Photo by Earleen Hinton made it 10-1 on an assisted goal from Konner Wilson, Laxner emptied his bench.

“A game like this served as a warm-up for Friday,” Laxner said. “It’s all about Friday’s game. We’re as ready as you can be.”

Oregon will face the winner between Rockford Christian and Stillman Valley with a first-ever regional title at stake for the Hawks.

Game time is 4:15 p.m. at Oregon Park West.

Over the years, Stillman Valley has been Oregon’s biggest obstacle in postseason advancement, a fact not lost on Laxner.

“I’d rather play Rockford Christian,” he said.

Hawks’ golf season ends at Byron’s PrairieView

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com After struggling to get out of a competitive regional last week, the Byron boys golf team took advantage of a home course advantage Oct. 12 to win the 1A sectional and also qualify for the IHSA state meet for the fourth year in a row.

Trent Snodgrass made it doubly fun for the Tigers, claiming medalist honors with a 77 on the par-72 Prarieview course.

The home cooking must have made a difference, as Byron bested regional champ Aurora Christian by 24 strokes.

In proof of what may have been the toughest regional in the state and one in which Oregon missed by the narrowest of margins of advancing to the sectional, Byron, Elgin St. Edward and

Aurora finished 1-2-4 at the sectional. Chicago Christian edged Aurora 337-339 for the final spot, preventing a clean sweep from the regional.

The Hawks almost sent a competitor downstate, but junior Matt Myers missed out in a playoff for the final two at-large berths. Myers shot a consistent 41-42 to tie four other golfers with an 83.

Noah Hogue of Morrison and Connen Leahy of Elmhurst Immaculate Christian earned the trips downstate. Unlike Hogue, who went right from his round to the playoff, Myers had to wait for quite a while after his round was over.

“I was hoping 83 would get pretty close to the cutoff, and once the groups after me started to come in with higher scores, I knew that it was probably going to be a playoff,” Myers said. “I was just happy that I got one

more chance, and I tried not to think about what it meant until it was time to tee off.”

Senior Mitchell Nehrkorn closed out his career at Oregon with an 88 and

freshman Adam Merrill added an 89.

“Mitchell and Adam just had a tough second nine holes as they started out at 42 and 41 on their first nine,”

said coach Jim Spratt. “Matt was steady all day and just missed a par putt that would have extended the playoff.”

Spratt said the Hawks had a great year lead by Nehrkorn and Carson Buck finishing second in the BNC West and fourth in the conference tourney.

“We just missed qualifying out of a regional that had three of the top four sectional teams at the Byron Sectional.

(Byron 1st, Elgin StEds 2nd, Aurora 4th) were all in the same regional at Algonquin,” said Spratt.

“As a coach I will miss not only the great golfers our seniors (Mitchell, Carson, Zach, Abigail, Bri and Mason) were but what great people and leaders they were for our golf programs.

Very nice young people with bright futures. They will be greatly missed,” Spratt said.

Polo competed as a team and finished 12th with a score

of 375. Chris Radamacher and Mack Llanas carded identical 44-46s.

Brix Calyton added a 92. Tristin and Trevin Woodin closed out the Marco scoring with 103 and 106.

“We were a disappointed with our sectional results, but we did make two of our three goals this year,” Polo coach Don Reece said. “Being top three in conference and getting out of regionals as a team made it a successful season.”

Bryan Edler was Forreston’s sole sectional qualifier and had an 85 (4342), close to the cut line for state.

“I wasn’t with Bryan, but an 85 is great in those conditions,” Forreston coach Matt Hanley said. “I heard there were very tough conditions with the wind.”

Lady Hawks end season at St. Bede Class A Sectional at Peru

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com

At the Peru St. Bede Class A golf sectional on Oct. 12, Forreston’s Kaitlan Korf was tantalizing close to becoming the first girls golfer in school history to advance downstate.

She finished with an 89, putting her in a playoff with Olivia Pultorak of Dixon, Jaeden Workman of Morrison, Caitlin Schoepfer of Lutheran and Nikki Ali Scheidecker tees off on #2 at Silver Ridge. Photo by Alex T. Paschal, Sauk Valley Media. Schmitt of Sherrard.

After seven hours of play on the wind-swept Spring Creek Golf course, the fivesome teed it up with four state spots available.

On the par-4, 305-yard dogleg playoff hole, Pultorak and Workman had pars and both repeated as state qualifiers. Schmitt and Schoepfer each had bogeys – with Schoepfer draining a curling 5-footer to earn her berth.

Korf was over the green in two, chipped up short, then 3-putted for a six. She

needed Schoepfer to miss her bogey putt to remain alive.

“Kaitlin just barely missed her putt for a five,” Forreston coach Matt Hanley said.

“She really hit the ball well throughout the day and stayed out of trouble and away from the big numbers.

I know she is disappointed, but when she looks back at it, she will be proud of her season and her round at the sectional.”

Hawks lose a heartbreaker to Winnebago 27-23

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com

It was a heartbreaking 2723 loss in football for the Oregon Hawks last Friday, shattering their playoffs hopes.

Winnebago scored two touchdowns in the game’s final seven minutes to overcome a 23-15 deficit.

“It was a very physical, hard fought game by two teams fighting for their playoff lives,” Oregon coach John Bothe said. “I was very proud of the intensity and effort.”

Brayton Finch, who had a 95-yard kickoff return last week against Byron, led Oregon with 157 yards on 11 carries, including a scintillating 75-yard touchdown run.

He also added an 11-yard score and his first field goal of the year, a 22-yarder as time expired in the first half.

“Brayton continued his hot streak,” Bothe said.

Austin Leitzinger, Winnebago’s leading rusher, also kicked a 22-yard field goal to give the Indians a 9-7 lead before Finch’s boot.

Winnebago (4-3) briefly regained the lead 15-10 early in the third quarter on a 23yard pass from Jess Smith to Jake Goluska. Less than minute later, it was Oregon in front 16-15 on a John Ghibellini 14-yard run.

“It was back and forth the entire game with several lead changes,” Bothe said.

Early in the fourth quarter, Finch made it 23-15, before the Indians made their comeback. With 46 second left, Smith hit Justin Spickler with an 11-yard scoring pass with 46 seconds left fro the winning score.

It was a second time this season, that Oregon has seen a lead evaporate in the second half, the first time coming in a 28-27 loss to Dixon, in which the Hawks led 27-14.

“Oregon played very well for most of the night on both sides of the ball and battled

back from some adversity after losing Jerrick Orsted midway through the first quarter,” Bothe said. “Several players stepped up. Andrew Newman went from a backup to a two-way player after the Orsted injury. Terry Page had the best game of his career at LB and both lines were very good.”

The Hawks gained 325 yards on the ground, with Maverik Good adding 85 and Ghibellini 64.

In the fresh-soph game, Oregon was victorious, 3020.

Oregon (2-5) hosts Mendota (1-6) at LandersLoomis Field on Friday, as it attempts to end a 4-game losing skid. The Trojans picked up their first win of the season last week against winless Rock Falls, 57-7.

Lady Hawks’ season ends at St. Bede Sectional in Peru From B1 sectional qualifier, had a 99 and Sam Greenfield added a 111 for the Lady Cardinals.

Geneseo edged Eastland 366 to 367 for first place, with Byron claiming the third and final trip downstate with a 376. After claiming

third at the regional, Eastland was the surprise story of the meet, earning its first trip ever downstate.

Oregon had a 415 for 10th place out of the 12 schools entered.

As they have done all year, it was Abi and Ali

Scheidecker leading the way for the Lady Hawks. Abi had a 95 (51-44) and Ali, a 2014 state qualifier, a 103 (52-51).

“The girls just a bad day at the end of a great year,” said Coach Jim Spratt. “The girls ran into some big scores early that were very hard to

come back from. Kind of like swimming upstream all day.

“I told them to remember they did a lot of things this year they should be proud of. Fourth in the conference tourney, two all conference golfers, second at the

regionals with a regional runner-up medalist, and 12 dual wins. Overall a great year,” said Spratt.

“Fortunately, most of the girls have another year to bounce back and put that day behind them.”

Abby Martin came in with

a 104 and Haley Repass a 113. Also competing, but not figuring in the scoring were Breanna Bicksler and Allison Hunt.

Abi Scheidecker escapes slump at Silver Ridge regional

By Cody Cutter Sauk Valley Media Abi Scheidecker had struggled with her game in the past couple of weeks.

However, the Oregon junior picked the right time to escape her slump.

There was no place like home at the Class A Oregon Regional at Silver Ridge Oct. 7, where Scheidecker started out strong and finished tied for second place, qualifying for Monday’s St. Bede Sectional.

Scheidecker birdied the par-4 No. 1 en route to carding an 85. The Hawks junior made par on six holes and finished with a 5-overpar 41 in the back nine.

Success on the first hole was enough to help overcome the struggles.

Abi Scheidecker of Oregon tees off during the regional.

“It made me have a lot Photo by Alex T. Paschal, Sauk Valley Media more confidence than what

I had coming into today,” Scheidecker said.

“My drives have been really terrible. They just kept putting me in bad situations. But today, I just went out relaxed. Last week I worked a lot on trying to straighten out my driver, and it all paid off.”

Tying with Dixon junior Olivia Pultorak, Scheidecker’s 85 was her best 18-hole score so far this year. Her sister, Ali, finished tied for sixth, carding a 90 along with Eastland senior Bailey Heckman.

The Hawks finished second as a team with 380 strokes, five more than champion Byron (375). In its third year as a program, the Hawks advanced to the sectional round as a team for the first time.

“We’ve been playing pretty well all year

long,” Oregon coach Jim Spratt said. “I think the expectations for the girls were to play well today on their home course.”

Abby Martin had a 101 for the Hawks, while Haley Repass had a 104, Allison Hunt a 126, and Bre Bicksler a 129. Hunt made her first birdie of the year, on No. 17, and Spratt presented her with a Snickers bar back in the clubhouse as a reward for her feat.

“Abi and Ali played real well,” Spratt said. “and we got some good contributions and scores from Haley and Abby Martin.”

“As a team we did amazing,” Abi Scheidecker said. “I would not be any more proud as how we did.”

Eastland senior Karissa Freidag won her second regional championship, adding on to her medalist

honor won during her sophomore year with an 83.

Kaley Mumma led the Tigers with an 88, with Kathleen Rock (95), Regan Larson and Abigail Richardson (both 96) also breaking 100.

“It’s great for the girls, they all played fantastic today,” Byron coach Carl Setterstrom said. “I’m really proud of all of them, and how they did. There were a lot of ups and downs out there, but they persevered, stayed with it, and did a nice job.”

Forreston had three individuals advance: Naeva Gronewold (92), Kaitlin Korf (93) and Sam Greenfield (104) – who improved on her average 18hole score by 12 strokes.

Polo’s Megan Call, the lone Marco in the field, finished with a 122.

Sports Column Busy weekend for Ogle County student-athletes

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com After spending an extended weekend in Salt Lake City, site of EPSN Game Day and a big Utah Utes win over Cal, my Tuesday morning

was spent catching up on all the Ogle County high school sports news.

I was sorry to hear about Oregon’s playoff chance going away in football, surprised that the Oregon volleyball team was only seeded No. 3 in the subsectional, and enlightened to learn that Polo has allowed less points than any football team in the state.

And, that’s just the start of a jam-pack Columbus

Day weekend of other major events in sectional golf and cross-country.

Where does a person a start?

How about with an official acknowledgment of Oregon reigning as undefeated conference champs in soccer.

Hopefully a huge crowd of fans will come out and support the team, as they play for a regional title on Friday at 4:15 at Park West.

football doubleheader, with the gridders kicking off later that evening at LandersLoomis.

Get used to it folks.

With the success of boys soccer and movement afoot to start girls soccer, there is beginning to be at Oregon, an intermingling of traditional old-school football fans and an upstart culture of soccer.

So far, there has been a reluctance of mainstream Hawk backers to check out high school soccer, but maybe a change is coming.

Even with a 2-5 record, Oregon is a good football team and credit needs to go to each player on the roster.

Anymore, it is a tall task to be out for football when the odds are stacked against you each week.

Oregon was hampered by lack of team speed, a limited passing game, small roster and most importantly, a brutally tough schedule.

Like the last few seasons, there was no margin for error and unfortunately, giving up second-half leads to Dixon and Winnebago cost the Hawks.

According to SVM stat guru Cody Cutter, the 21 points allowed by the Polo football team is No. 1 in the state, just ahead of the 26 allowed by Chicago Whitney Young.

The previous leader, Marshall, lost 31-25, after allowing seven points.

What’s interesting about

Andy Colbert

that stat is that Polo is considered more as an offensive threat.

Once the playoffs start, the Marcos will indeed be the most intriguing storyline in all of 1A. Before the volleyball seedings came out, I failed to realize that Rockford Keith was bumped up to 2A because of the IHSA success factor.

After winning three straight 1A state titles, Keith has made the sub-sectional even tougher.

Lutheran, whom the Lady Hawks have beaten in conference play is No. 1 and Keith No. 2, followed by Oregon and Byron.

Seedings are often hard to figure out and sometimes can be political in nature.

Just ask any basketball coach, whom seems to get

more worked over seedings than coaches in other sports.

In this case, it may not matter much, as those four are really good teams.

Oregon will need to get by Keith to advance out of the regional, but they will have the home court advantage.

When the Blackhawk Center was built, who would have thought all these years later it would be paying extra dividends for Hawk athletes.

In what I consider the mentally toughest of all high school sports, boys and girls golfers from Forreston, Oregon and Polo failed to qualify for the state tourney this weekend.

It was a close call from the regional on to the sectional for all of them. However, credit needs to go to our friends in Byron for pulling off the double win with both the boys and girls advancing.

Other than the crosscountry sectional, incidentally hosted by Oregon, the toughest smallschool meet in northern Illinois is the Amboy Columbus Day Invite.

Upon reviewing the results, what jumped out is the lack of area talent. The top teams were from central Illinois and the suburbs.

The dyestat.com state rankings bear that out, with no boys or girls teams from northern Illinois in the top 10 for 1A. Where did all our runners go?

County Record Earthquake drill is set for Oct. 15

www.oglecountynews.com

From B3 Illinois.

That series of earthquakes in 1811-12 lasted for several months, and shaking was felt as far away as the East Coast.

Schools, businesses, government agencies,

families and others can register to participate in the drill at www.shakeout.org/ centralus.

Registered participants will receive additional information about the drill and earthquake preparedness.

Ogle County Newspapers, Thursday, October 15, 2015, Page B5

While the international drill will take place on Oct. 15, individual drills can be conducted anytime within two weeks of that date.

The drill focuses on the “Drop, Cover and Hold On” protective actions

people should take when an earthquake begins: “drop” down to the floor, take “cover” under a sturdy desk, table or other furniture, and “hold on” to the furniture item and be prepared to move with it until the shaking

stops.

Additional information about the earthquake risk in Illinois and steps to take before, during, and after an earthquake is available at www.Ready.Illinois.gov.

Astrograph Holding A Grudge Is Pointless And Stressful Thursday October 15, 2015 LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Love is on the rise. Participation in a philanthropic or charitable event will bring you recognition and respect from an influential individual. Highlight your innovative ideas and express your desire to join forces.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Change is highlighted.

Unanticipated alterations to your home or property will be beneficial in the long run. A former friend or flame will want to reconnect. Consider the pros and cons before agreeing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Travel and communication delays can be expected. Resist the urge to make hasty decisions or unreasonable promises, or you will find yourself in a vulnerable position.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Finish projects, conclude contracts or finalize deals.

Completing your current plans will show everyone that you mean business, and leave you free to take advantage of new opportunities.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Advance preparation will prevent you from becoming

overwhelmed by your responsibilities. Helping others through community assistance programs or fundraising will introduce you to a diverse group of people. Romance is highlighted.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Your reputation will grow if you make personal changes.

Expand your profile and touch up your resume in order to give your confidence a boost. Patience will be needed regarding family matters.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Fun and entertainment will highlight your day. A close friend or relative will entice you to try something adventurous.

Have a great time, but avoid taking unnecessary risks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You must be clear about how much you are willing to do for others. Embarrassment or hurt feelings could result if those around you expect more than you can give.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Holding a grudge is pointless and stressful. You will cause more harm internally if you harbor ill will toward others. Treat the

issue as a painful lesson and move on.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Timely information will accompany a chance for a new beginning. Hesitation will lead to a missed opportunity. Be prepared to act quickly when the occasion calls for it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Your competitive spirit will give you an advantage over your rivals. Others will be impressed by your skills, enabling you to gain support and gather good advice.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) -- You may feel generous, but overindulgence will cause serious problems when your bills arrive. Offer your time or suggestions, not money, when someone comes to you for assistance.
