Fire board to sell one ambulance, repair other By Vinde Wells Editor
Oregon fire district officials will sell one ambulance to raise funds to make another road-worthy. The Oregon Fire Protection District Board decided Oct. 15 to sell the 2006 ambulance donated to the district by
the now- defunct Oregon Ambulance Service, Inc. Assistant Fire Chief Al Greene said last week that the proceeds from the sale will be used to get the 1995 ambulance, also donated by the Oregon Ambulance Service, Inc., up and running. “Based on the recommendations of Ford,
it needs some mechanical work,” Greene said. He said fire officials are getting quotes on the cost of the repairs, which have been estimated at $12,000 or more. Although the ambulance being repaired is older than the one being sold, it has fewer miles and is in better condition.
“The motor [in the 2006 ambulance] isn’t as good as the older one’s, and the chassis is just as good,” Greene said. The 2006 has 146,000 miles on it, while the 1995 has only 79,000. Greene said he hopes the ambulance will be ready to use by Jan. 1.
Cashew was getting a lastminute costume adjustment, Holly had her mind on high fives, and Daisy was just trying to make new friends. And all that was before the real action even started at the Oregon Park District’s second annual Howl’oween Canine Costume Contest at the Wiggly Field Dog Park. Twenty-one dogs of all sizes were decked out in their finest for the event, which began with a parade of dogs and their owners around the dog park to let the judges get a good look. Before the parade started Lisa Russell tweaked the pirate hat that her dog Cashew was sporting. Daisy, all dolled up as a skunk, sniffed noses with every dog who came near, her tail wagging the entire time. The dogs and owners were introduced one by one and each had the opportunity to show off a special trick or talent. Holly, a therapy dog, gave high fives as fast as her owner Joanne Pennock asked for them.
Judges chose the top three in each of three categories to take home prizes that included — what else — dog treats and toys. And the costume winners were: Best Store Bought — first, Buster and Nettie as Hugh Hefner and Playboy Bunny, owned by Amy and Brook Ewald; second, Boomer as Rafael the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, owned by Chasity Moorehead; third, Spot as a cowboy, owned by Amy Benton; Best Handmade — first, Bella and Foxy as the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts from Alice and Wonderland, owed by Reagan Johnson; second, Tank and Diesel as bikers, owned by Sue Harrod; third, Reggie as a Chia Pet, owned by Linda Claussen; Best Group — first, Bailey as a lobster and owner Karen Churney as a fisherman, “Deadliest Catch;” second, Elsa and Bear as Olaf and Sven from “Frozen” and owner Trevor Tighe and Company (others dressed up as characters from “Frozen”); third, Spicy as a Chia Pet and owner Amy Marchettie as a

Habitat home blessed on Sunday By Chris Johnson Reporter What makes a house a home is more than four walls and a roof over your head. For Jennifer Larson and her on Vincenzo, 4, their home is built with love. “Our dream of having our own home began out of love, was built with love, and forever will be rooted with love,” wrote Larson in a letter to Habitat for Humanity of Ogle County. “This home is the cornerstone of our foundation. We have been blessed with a home.” The Larsons were the beneficiary of the newest home built by Habitat for Humanity. Larson said she would tear up if she tried to give a statement during the house blessing Sunday afternoon so she presented a letter she wrote that was read to those attending the ceremony. “We are and forever will be grateful to everyone,” her
statement read. “Thank you for everything. God bless you all.” The Oregon home at 210 N. Sixth Street has a history of love going back 40 years. “How did we get here?” said Habitat for Humanity of
Ogle County president Bob Van Stedum. “We got here because of a whole lot of volunteers that donated their time and expertise.” He said they also here because of the love of a family who used to own the
property “Marie Black lived here and her family decided to donate the house and the property to Habitat,” said Van Stedum. “We tore the house down and were blessed Turn to A2
Due to problems with a construction job last summer, a Freeport concrete contractor has been prohibited form bidding on Ogle County projects for the next 15 years. The Ogle County Board approved, by a vote of 18-5 Oct. 21, a recommendation from the Road & Bridge Committee to place Preferred Concrete Systems on the county’s restricted bidder list. County engineer Curtis Cook said the recommendation stemmed from “subpar” work in two instances at the Highway Department’s new storage building which was erected last spring and summer. Preferred Concrete Systems was a subcontractor on the project. Three board members objected to the measure. Lee Meyers, Byron, voiced concern that the action could lead to lawsuits. Bill Welty, Chana, also opposed the action. “Why cut off their legs completely?” he said. “Why not restrict the general contractor as well?” Cook said the matter will likely end up in court. “We had multiple exposures to subpar work with this contractor,” he said. Rich Gronewold, Forreston, asked why the

concrete supplier was not also being restricted. The concrete was supplied by Super Mix, which is based near Monroe Center. Construction was delayed for a month last May when the concrete poured for the walls of the 90 by 150 foot building did not meet the strength requirements specified in the contract. Cook said eventually the concrete met the requirements but it took much longer than specified. At that point, Cook said he met with representatives from Cord Construction, Rockford, the general contractor, and Preferred Concrete Systems to iron out the issues. As result, the county did not have to pay for the concrete in the walls, a $10,000 expense; the walls were sealed for extra weather-proofing, at no cost to the county; and the one-year warranty on the concrete was extended to five years. The second instance arose when the floor of the new building was poured. Cook said the joints and surface were not finished properly. Cord Construction officials again came through, Cook said, this time by hiring a finishing company to correct the deficiencies in the floor at no cost to the county. “Cord has done everything within their power to get this right,” he said Tuesday.

However, before it can run it will need to be licensed by the state and stocked with equipment and supplies. “What our goal is to get it up and operational,” Greene said. “Then we’ll figure out how to staff it.” Currently the Oregon Fire Protection District has no taxsupported ambulance service.
A swarm of honey bees found in a hollow tree in Oregon last week have been relocated for the winter. “We’ve moved them to a secure location, and they’re safe and sound,” said Susan Kivikko, an apiary inspector for the Illinois Department of Agriculture. Oregon Street Superintendent Mike Bowers said the bees were discovered Oct. 21 when Grover’s Tree Service cut down a large tree at 202 S. Second St. The tree had been damaged in a storm last June. “In the process of taking

With the help of Oregon beekeeper Jeff Hendricks, Kivikko removed the bees from the tree and took them to her home on the east side of Ogle County. Kivikko said she and her husband raise bees at their rural residence between Esmond and Lindenwood. The bees are genetically unusual because of their hardiness, she said. “This is good old feral stock. They are very gentle,” Kivikko said. “They are exactly what you want.

Schwartz presented Jennifer with a photo of Marie to keep in the home as a reminder of the previous owner. “Today we give thanks as we gather and pray for Jennifer and Vincenzo who are about to make this their home,” said Pastor Jeff Schlesinger, Freedom Lutheran Church. “Watch over Jennifer and Vincenzo. Keep all evil away from their door.” Schlesinger blessed each of the rooms in the home and presented the Larsons with a family Bible. “That book has many special words in it and it is not to be kept nice,” he said. “Write in it and underline
those words that are special.” Schlesinger also had a gift for Vincenzo. “Vincenzo, I have a special story Bible for you,” he said. “Your mom can read those stories to you.” Habitat for Humanity requires a new homeowner to put sweat equity in the home. These hours building the home allowed Larson to experience the entire home building process. “It did not always go smooth.

Petrie recovered Butterfield’s body from Mississippi 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 John R. Petrie was a friend of J. A. B. Butterfield. The Rochelle Herald, May 1865, reported, “Mr. Petrie, of Oregon, returned from Memphis last Saturday with the body of J.A.B. Butterfield who was lost on the ill-fated Sultana. The funeral service will be preached tomorrow in the Methodist Church at Oregon at 10:30 by Rev. G. W. Crofts. All members of Co A, 2nd Illinois Cavalry, are especially invited to be present.” If John had not retrieved the body of his friend, James Butterfield, his body would not be buried by his girlfriend’s family in Riverside Cemetery. He is the only person who perished on the Sultana and recorded on the Sultana list of causalities buried in Illinois. The following is from an article concerning John Petrie in the Sawtelle (Los Angeles) Tribune. “Lt. John R. Petrie of the late Gen. John A. Logan’s staff in the Civil War is now

living in Sawtelle, Calif. He was the smallest man in statue in government service, the terror of cattle rustlers, timber thieves, bank robbers in Illinois and Dakota for 44 years. He arrested many horse and cattle thieves, and white and Indian murderers besides many minor offenders. Outlaws paid him the tribute of dubbing him ‘the little redheaded cuss.’ One of his daring exploits that won Petrie fame was the arrest of Jack Sully. Petrie, a U.S. Marshall, was called upon to arrest Sully
after three other marshalls had failed. Sully exclaimed as he looked down his six feet two frame at the little officer, ‘You’ve got your nerve,’ and Petrie replied, ‘I’ve got more than that with this Winchester ready.’” At the time this article was written Petrie lived in Veteran’s Home in Sawtelle, Calif. John is buried in the Los Angeles National Cemetery. When Jack Sully told John he had nerve this reminded of an incident I wrote about his
father Frederick G. Petrie. His father Frederick moved to Oregon in 1858 serving as sheriff. Later he was elected a county judge and after that mayor of Oregon. The incident occurred when a man was held up in a house near the bridge. The sheriff and his men had the house surrounded and were discussing how to arrest the man without any one getting hurt. Judge Petrie showed up in his Prince Albert coat with its empty sleeve tucked in his pocket. Earlier in his life he had lost his arm in a milling accident. The judge was informed

After he turned the prisoner over to the sheriff the judge returned to the courthouse. The article stated “No fuss or feathers, but just the same, Old Judge Petrie.” The above information about Judge Petrie is from the Ogle County Historical Society. Finally a little background on John Petrie. John’s grandfather Stephen was born in Paris, France. His father Frederick was born in Kingston, Canada. Frederick moved to Byron John R.

Influenza (“flu”) isn’t anything to mess around with – it can be serious or even deadly for elderly people, newborn babies, and people with certain chronic illnesses. Help your body fight off the flu this year by getting a flu shot at one of FHN’s flu shot clinics, open to the public at convenient locations across northwest Illinois. If you are an adult under 65 years of age, you will get a quadrivalent vaccine that protects against 4 strains of influenza for $40. If you’re over 65, you will receive a high-dose version of the vaccine ($52). There will be no out-of-pocket expense if you are covered by Medicare Part B (please present Medicare card) or a Medicare HMO accepted by FHN (list available at each location – covered persons MUST present the Medicare HMO card instead of the Medicare card for the billing process). All immunizations not covered by Medicare or a Medicare HMO must be paid for by cash or check payable to FHN. The prices shown here are only available at these flu shot clinics; other rates may apply in FHN offices. No other insurance coverage can be accepted at these flu shot clinics, and per government regulations, no Medicaid cards can be accepted at these locations. Because of federal guidelines to prevent identity theft, everyone must present a photo ID to receive an immunization. Children can only be immunized if a written prescription from a physician indicating dosage is presented. You should NOT receive a flu shot at any of these clinics if you: • Are allergic to eggs or the flu vaccine • Are ill or have a fever • Have a depressed immune system Please contact your healthcare provider or call FHN toll-free at 1-877-6000-FHN (1-877-6000346) ext. 945 for assistance in finding a provider if you can’t receive a vaccination due to the above restrictions.

No contested races, but have several referenda By Vinde Wells Editor Although Ogle County has no contested races for county officials, local residents can cast their votes in numerous hotly contested state and federal races along with several referenda when they go to the polls Nov. 4. As the days until the general election wind down, the campaigns have heated up via TV and phone for Illinois governor and lieutenant governor, Illinois attorney general, Illinois secretary of state, Illinois comptroller, representatives in U.S. Congress, state senators, and state representatives. In the county, however, the candidates for sheriff, county clerk, treasurer, state’s attorney, regional school superintendent, county board, and a judge are running unopposed. Voters will also decided whether or not appellate and circuit judges should be retained. Meridian School District officials are asking voters to raise real estate taxes in the Education Fund from the present $2.78 per $100 of equalized assessed vale (EAV) to $3.48 for the next
seven years. The 70-cent hike would increase the taxes on a $150,000 home by $350 per year, excluding exemptions. According to the question on the ballot, the referendum would bring an estimated additional $1.1 million into district coffers annually. Superintendent P.J. Caposey said the increase is needed to balance the budget and avoid drastic cuts. The school board has already cut staff and course offerings, and eliminated junior high sports and other activities in an effort to erase a $1.9 million deficit. Without the new tax dollars, Caposey said the board will be forced to look at further cuts that could increase class sizes, reduce course offerings further, and eliminate the sports program at all levels. “On the flip side, if the referendum passes the district will be able to avoid such significant cuts and bring back junior high athletics and activities,� Caposey said. “Opportunities for kids would increase instead of decrease, and the district could return to a place of stability.� The district has faced declining enrollment and a
loss of real estate tax revenue due to dwindling property values in the last several years. In Leaf River Township, voters are being asked to double the maximum tax rate for road district. If the referendum passes, the road district can levy a maximum of rate of 33 cents per $100 EAV, rather than the 16.5 cents currently allowed. That increase would mean an increase of $82.50 on a $150,000 home. However, in a letter to voters dated Oct. 14 township officials said they do not intend to levy at the new maximum if it’s approved, but only at 28 cents per $100 EAV, which would mean an increase of $57.50 on a $150,000 home in 2014. The letter said the increase is needed due to increases in road maintenance materials, fuel, and present and future equipment replacement. Other referenda are in the New Milford Fire District for a new tax for ambulance purposes and in the Village of Hillcrest for a sales and occupational tax. State constitutional amendments and statewide advisory questions are also on the ballot.

Be Drug-Free is theme of annual Red Ribbon Week Love Yourself: Be DrugFree is this year’s Red Ribbon Week theme. The Red Ribbon Campaign is the oldest and largest drug prevention program that reaches youth during Red Ribbon Week. Ogle County Health Department (OCHD) stands in support of The Red Ribbon Campaign and Red Ribbon Week. Red Ribbon Week gives individuals and communities a method to support a drugfree lifestyle.
The Red Ribbon Campaign began in 1985 as a result of the murder of DEA agent Kiki Camarena. The displayed red ribbon symbolizes intolerance of drug use and a commitment to a drug-free nation. OCHD encourages parents to use this time of heightened awareness to have a conversation with their children about drugs, alcohol and tobacco. Numerous research studies have demonstrated that parents have the most
influence over a child’s decision to use a chemical substance and that talking to their children about not using drugs, alcohol and tobacco is
effective. Parents own use and attitudes about these substances also have a great effect on a child’s decision to
use. For help in finding information on resisting drugs, alcohol and tobacco visit the website at www.

The Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom (AITC) program announced that Ogle/Carroll Ag in the Classroom has received $8,709 for the 2014-2015 School Year. Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom based these grants to counties off the 2013-2014 year end reports. In 2013-2014 the Illinois AITC Program reached 516,452 students with a message about agriculture. Additionally 36,074 teachers and 1,203 preservice teachers learned how to incorporate agriculture into their existing curriculum while meeting state learning standards. “The strength of our Ag in the Classroom program is at the county level,” said Kevin Daugherty, Education Director for the Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom program. “Your county coordinators and volunteers provide immediate access to teachers and students. They work to integrate agriculture into existing classroom curriculum.” County Coalition Grants are made possible through funding form the IAA Foundation, the charitable arm of the Illinois Farm Bureau. The IAA Foundation raises funds for the Illinois
Agriculture in the Classroom program each year, and in addition to county grants, provides funding for Ag Mags, teacher grants, Summer Ag Institutes and more. “The IAA Foundation is pleased to financially contribute to local ag literacy efforts in counties across Illinois,” said Susan Moore, Director of the IAA Foundation. “Over the past five years, we have been able to increase coalition grants by nearly 20%, with this year’s support totaling 532,250 to 69 coalitions. “This trend continues due to the valuable support received through contributors who understand that the effectiveness of Ag in the Classroom comes from its grassroots approach.” Partner organizations of the Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom program include Illinois Farm Bureau, Facilitating Coordination in Agricultural Education (FCAE), University of Illinois Extension, and the Illinois Beef Association. Additional partners are Illinois Corn Growers, Illinois Pork Producers, Illinois Soybean Association, and the Midwest Dairy Association. Illinois Department of Agriculture and the
Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts are also partners in the program. In addition, annual donors include many agribusiness partners and others with an interest in supporting agriculture. Funds are raised through both events and direct program contributions. All contributors are featured on the IAA Foundation website: www.iaafoundation.org. This website also has more information on how individuals can get involved. The following organizations and businesses contribute annually to the local program: Ogle County Farm Bureau, Carroll County Farm Bureau, Ogle County Beef Association, Carroll Farm Service, Ogle County Pork Producers, Eastland Feed and Grain, and Leaf River Grange. Ag in the Classroom in Ogle and Carroll counties is offered through University of Illinois Extension-Ogle County in partnership with Ogle County Farm Bureau, Carroll County Farm Bureau, Ogle County Soil and Water, and Carroll County Soil and Water.

Small acreage can be utilized for big ideas A workshop titled Putting Small Acres to Work will be hosted by the U of I Extension offices in Ogle, Boone, and DeKalb counties on Saturday, Dec. 6, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The program will be at the NIU Rockford Meeting and Conference Center located at 8500 E. State St., just one mile east of I-90. The registration desk will open at 8 a.m. The workshop will offer general sessions on building soil health and choosing scale-appropriate equipment. Breakout sessions will be available on plant topics including perennial vegetables, berry fruits, root cellars, and season extension. Animal topics include chickens, hogs, beekeeping, and grazing. Outreach professionals from both Illinois and Wisconsin will facilitate the sessions. The workshop is designed for anyone who has a few extra acres to put to good use. “How to get started is the question,” said Andy Larson, local foods and small farms educator for University of Illinois Extension in Boone, DeKalb, and Ogle counties. “Putting a few extra acres into plant or animal production can start a new interest or hobby, or it can
be the first step towards a new farm business,” said Grant McCarty, local foods and small farms educator in JoDaviess, Stephenson, and Winnebago counties. “Either way, we want to help folks start off on the right foot, pursuing both sustainability and productivity.” “You don’t have to own hundreds of acres to create a profitable business,” said Connie Echaiz, local foods and small farms educator in Lake and McHenry counties. “We developed these workshops to help people realize the possibilities that a few acres can provide.” To register for Putting Small Acres to Work at NIURockford, go to the website at web.extension.illinois. edu/bdo and go to “Register Online” on the right-hand side. Participants can also call University of Illinois Extension-Boone County at 815-544-3710 for more information or to register. The program fee is $40 per person, which includes all program materials and lunch. Register by Monday, Dec. 1 to guarantee a space and a meal. Anyone needing a reasonable accommodation to participate in this program should call the Boone County Extension office.

Organic gardening class is Nov. 1 The University of Illinois will present Organic Gardening on Saturday, Nov. 1, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Urbana Plaza Hotel and Convention Center, Urbana. The center was previously the Holiday Inn. Chuck Voigt, University of Illinois vegetable and crops specialist and coordinator of the event, said that experts from around the country will present educational sessions to inspire organic gardening. William Woys Weaver, from Devon, Pa., will give
two presentations. One will be about the kitchen garden, and the other will discuss health benefits of heirloom food plants. Weaver is the author of books on heirlooms, local foods, Pennsylvania Dutch cooking, herbal cures, and more. “He is a very in-demand speaker and we are lucky to have him with us this year,” Voigt said. Marty Travis, of Spence Farm, Fairbury, is the seventh generation living the small
farm life on a family farm settled by his ancestors in 1830. “Marty, along with his wife Kris and son Will, grows a great variety of crops and livestock organically,” Voigt said. “He has also grown a wide variety of grain crops, often on a rather small scale. He’ll share some of the basics of producing diverse grain plants, either in the field or the garden. The diversity of what’s produced at Spence Farm is amazing.” In addition to the speakers,
a retail area selling will offer a broad range of gardening products. Online registration is available until Oct. 27. The cost for the day is $60, which includes an organic lunch buffet. For more information, call Linda Harvey at 217-244-1693 or email lharvey@illinois.edu. On-site registration on Nov. 1 begins at 8 a.m., will continue only as long as space allows, and will not guarantee lunch. The first educational session begins promptly at 9 a.m.

Outlook on Agriculture
Pork producers work to increase the pig supply According to Purdue University Extension economist Chris Hurt, although pork consumers have paid record-high retail prices this year, they want more. The latest USDA Hogs and Pigs report suggests that pork producers will be able to get more pork to consumers and to get it to them more quickly than had been anticipated. “The rising volume of pork production over the next year will stand on three legs: lower death losses from PED, higher farrowings from producer
expansion, and higher market weights this fall and winter,” Hurt said. The question has been raised of how pork producers can produce more pork quickly, according to Hurt. “The PED virus was not as deadly this summer as was anticipated,” Hurt said. “More baby pigs survived this summer than expected, and that will help boost pork supplies by the end of the year and into the winter. “The number of pigs per litter this past summer was
down 1.6 percent from the previous summer. This is much smaller than the losses in the previous two quarters. “The number of pigs per litter was down 5.5 percent in the winter of 2014 and down 5.1 percent in the spring quarter. This meant that the number of market hogs was about 1 percent higher than expected according to the USDA survey results.” Even more important to the hog and pork price outlook is what will happen to the number of pigs per litter this
fall and winter and further into 2015. “It’s important to keep in mind that PED began to be observed in the national data in October, 2013,” Hurt said. “Estimated death losses— measured as the number of pigs per litter below trend— was about two to three percent in October and November, 2013. “This rose to six to eight percent in the winter months and then four to six percent in spring, 2014. The critical point is that the number of pigs per
litter may actually be above year-previous levels beginning late this fall.” Hurt said that increasing pigs per litter will be based on the low levels from a year ago and on the perceived “improved management” of the disease this fall and winter. More pigs per litter is one way pork supplies will likely be expanded. Increased sow farrowings is the second way that was revealed by USDA. Will pork production grow enough to really help corn and soybean meal consumption for
the 2014-15 marketing year? Hurt said that only about two percent more pork will be produced in the 2014-15 corn and soybean marketing year. However, nearly four percent more pork is expected for the 2015 calendar year. “By mid-2015, expanded pork production will cut into prices and profits drop to an estimated $30 per head in the third quarter of 2015 and to $5 per head in the final quarter. Profits for the calendar year 2015 are currently estimated at $30 per head,” he said.
Reports showing more corn will be needed in 2015 One of the functions of crop markets is to direct planting decisions of U.S. producers. That process begins with fall seeded crops, primarily winter wheat, and continues through the following spring. Darrel Good, University of Illinois agricultural
economist, the market’s assessment of the amount of acreage needed of various crops in any production cycle is complicated and continually changes. “Providing direction for planted acreage requires anticipating the level of oldcrop inventories available
for the upcoming marketing year, the magnitude of consumption during the upcoming marketing year, the likely average yield, and the desired level of yearending stocks,” said Good. “For corn, these factors all currently suggest that fewer acres of corn will likely be

needed in the U.S. in 2015.” In the Oct. 10 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report, the USDA projected that stocks of old-crop corn at the start of the 2015-16 marketing year will be at a 10-year high of 2.081 billion bushels even with record large consumption of 13.655 billion bushels. “Based on the pattern of USDA yield forecasts in previous years when the U.S. average yield was well above trend value, as is the case this year, many expect that the final yield estimate this year will exceed the October forecast of 174.2 bushels,” Good said. “If the final 2014 production estimate is larger than the current forecast and consumption is near the current forecast, year-ending stocks may be near 2.2 billion bushels. “The large 2014 crop and the buildup in stocks are expected to result in a 201415 marketing-year average farm price in the low- to mid- $3 level, well below the cost of production for most producers,” he said. Good said that one way to approach the question of how many corn acres are needed in 2015 is to determine the combination of production, consumption, and yearending stocks He said that would result in a 2015-16 marketing-year average farm price closer to the cost of production, estimated to be in the low $4 range (assuming trend yields) in much of the Corn Belt. “The marketing-year average farm price was $4.20 in 2007-08 with an ending stocks-to-use ratio of 12.8 percent, $4.06 in 2008-09 with an ending stocks-to-use ratio of 13.9 percent, and $4.46 in 2013-14 with an ending stocks-to-use ratio of
9.1 percent,” Good said. “It may be that a marketingyear average farm price in the low $4 range next year would require ending stocks near 12 percent of consumption.” According to Good, if consumption of U.S. corn during the 2015-16 marketing year remains near the record level projected for this year, year-ending stocks near 1.64 billion bushels would represent 12 percent of consumption. With beginning stocks near 2.2 billion bushels, imports of 20 million bushels, and consumption of 13.655 billion bushels, a 2015 U.S. corn crop near 13.075 billion bushels would result in 201516 marketing-year-ending stocks near 1.64 billion bushels. With a trend yield near 162.5 bushels in 2015, 80.46 million acres would need to be harvested to produce 13.075 billion bushels of corn. That magnitude of harvested acreage for grain would require about 88.26 million acres of corn to be planted for all purposes. That is 2.625 million fewer acres than the USDA’s most recent estimate of planted acreage in 2014, 8.895 million less than the record acreage of 2012, and equal to acreage planted in 2010. Good said that the market’s assessment of needed corn acreage in 2015 may well reflect different conditions than assumed here and will surely vary between now and planting time. “Changing assessments will reflect the pace of consumption of U.S. corn, the size of the final 2014 production estimate to be released in January, and the development of the South American crop,” Good said. Good reported that current prices for the 2015 corn crop
suggest that the market is encouraging some reduction in corn acreage in favor of soybeans and wheat. The ratio of cash soybean and corn prices for 2015 harvest delivery in central Illinois, for example, is currently near 2.6 to 1.0. That ratio has been declining, but still favors soybeans over corn for many producers. Similarly, the ratio of July 2015 wheat futures to December 2015 corn futures and November 2015 soybean futures favors wheat over corn and soybeans. Good sees as the bigger dilemma that, while a reduction in U.S. corn acreage is likely needed in 2015, an increase in wheat and soybean acreage may not be needed. U.S. wheat stocks are expected to increase during the current marketing year and a trend yield in 2015 would result in a larger crop than produced this year with no increase in acreage. “A trend soybean yield in 2015 would result in a smaller crop than produced this year, but production would still exceed the projection of use during the current marketing year,” Good said. “It may be that low prices will result in some decline in total crop acres in 2015. “At this juncture, it appears that corn acreage may decline sufficiently in 2015 to generate a 2015-16 marketing-year average price in the low $4 range,” Good concluded. “However, price ratios will have to continue to motivate that acreage decline into planting time,” he said. The first indication of producer acreage decisions will be revealed in the USDA’s Winter Wheat Seedings report to be released in early January 2015.

Lady Hawks are headed to regional final Oregon to face Byron for the regional crown
It did not take long for the Oregon Lady Hawks to punch their ticket to the Byron regional championship. The Lady Hawks, fresh off winning the Stillman Valley Fall Classic over the weekend and the Big Northern Conference title earlier in the week, took the court against Rockford Christian at promptly 5:30 p.m. And about 33 minutes later, they had promptly disposed of the Lady Eagles, winning the match in two games, 2512 and 25-17. Sommer Rhea led Oregon Oregon’s Garrett Rude runs up the middle as Frank Lung blocks during fourth quarter action against Stillman Valley. with 9 kills and two digs, The Hawks beat the Cards 14-7. Photo by Earleen Hinton followed by Emy Wright with 6 kills, 5 digs, and 4 aces.
Hawks make playoffs with win Oregon edges Stillman Valley 14-7 to play on By Andy Colbert Reporter Oregon lineman Frank Lung couldn’t hold the tears back after the Hawks’ 14-7 win over Stillman Valley on Oct. 24, a win that qualified his team for the IHSA 3A playoffs. “When you put in so many hours, hours that turn into days, days that turn into months,” Lung said. “This makes it all worthwhile.” Lung and teammates Bryce Noon, Josh Cook, Bailey Bright, Matt Stevens, David Labash and Lucas Carr paved the way for Oregon (5-4, 4-3) to take control of the game on a 23-play, 12-minute drive that lasted from the first to second quarter. A John Ghibellini capped the drive off and the Hawks led 7-0. “That drive was the name of the game,” SV coach Mike Lalor said. “We had a chance to pin them back, but we couldn’t.” The loss gave Stillman an uncharacteristic record of 2-7, one year after winning the 3A state title. It was also Oregon’s first win over the Cardinals since 2008 and its third straight win in pressure-
packed scenarios. “Our backs have been against the wall for the last three games,” Oregon coach John Bothe said, “These guys knew what they had to do.” Both teams had three-andouts to start the game, but a 61-yard punt by Marcus Bower of SV put the Hawks 95 yards away from the goal line. Reacting calmly and efficiently, the Hawk offense under the direction of quarterback Jerrick Orsted began piling up first down after first down. The most critical came on a fourth-and-5, when Orsted could not find an open receiver and scrambled 13 yards to keep the drive alive. Another fourth-down conversion resulted in Garrett Rude going two yards to set up an first-and-goal. The Cardinals came back to tie the game 7-7 on an 13play, 73-yard drive of their own, converting two fourth downs and employing the hurry-up offense. Connor Lewin scored from a yard out with 5:18 left in the first half. Late in the second quarter, a diving catch by Brayton Finch helped Oregon move into Cardinal territory, but a penalty and incomplete pass after fourth-and-1 killed the scoring opportunity. In the second half, the
Oregon defense took up where it left off, forcing an early SV punt. The Cardinals only managed five first downs total. “We did a tremendous job shutting down their offense,” Bothe said. “We had two fourth-down stops that were humongous.” Both of those came in the fourth quarter and were a result of gang tackling and a physical presence in line play. In a nearly error-free exhibit of football, as far as penalties, turnovers and miscues, Oregon caught the one break in the one hour, 40-minute game. After a 14-play Hawk drive died at SV’s 18-yard line and the score tied 7-7 Lewin fumbled near his own sideline. Lung came up with the recovery at 24-yard line of the Cardinals. Four plays later, Garrett Rude who played with a sore shoulder and freshly retrieved cleats, blasted over from two yards out for the clinching score on the first play of the fourth quarter. Assistant coach Mark Gale had to drive back to Oregon when it was discovered Rude forgot his playing shoes before the game. With four minutes left in the game, Mark Stokes had back-to-back 11 and eightyard runs to give SV a bit of
momentum, but that drive quickly came to an end and Oregon was able to run the clock out. For the juniors and seniors on Oregon’s team, this was the first time they had defeated a SV team at any level while in high school. “I’m ecstatic,” said Carr, one of those seniors accustomed to losses by the stellar Cardinal program. “We had our doubts when we first got here, but after that long drive, we knew we could do it.” “Oh, there it definitely an intimidation factor. This is Stillman Valley,” Bothe added. For the 17 years Lalor has been at Stillman, is was only his second time of missing the playoffs. “I felt that the though the season wasn’t what we wanted, we played hard all year,” Lalor said. “Tonight’s game was well played by both teams and an example of good old-fashioned football.” For Oregon, it was the second year in a row of hardfought 5-4 seasons. After losing to Byron to go to 2-4, post-season possibilities looked bleak. “After the Byron games, our seniors were stinging,” Bothe said. “They deserve so much credit for the resolution they’ve shown since then.” Preview story on B2

Oregon won its first conference title since 2007 when the Lady Hawks beat Stillman Valley 25-16 and 25-9 on Oct. 23. Wright led Oregon with 9 kills, two digs, and an ace. Rhea followed with 6 aces and 6 digs while Kelsey Pudlas recorded 5 kills. Mahoney had 25 assists.

Friday’s football playoff game to feature different styles Game is Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Landers-Loomis By Andy Colbert Reporter For the first time ever, Oregon will play a Chicago Public League football team. The Al Raby School for Community and Environment, a predominantly black school from the economically disadvantaged East Garfield neighborhood (about a mile west of the United Center), will travel to LandersLoomis Field for a 7:30 kickoff of a first-round 3A playoff game this Friday. The Al Raby school is only 10 years old and was started as an alternative for students who are environmentally aware and socially conscious. There are strict guidelines students must adhere to, such as wearing a red polo shirt
and black pants with a belt to school everyday. It was named after civil rights organizer and teacher Al Raby, who died in 1988 of a heart attack. Raby brought Martin Luther King to Chicago in 1966 to help desegregate schools and housing. He also was a city leader in the tenant union movement, voter registration, an environmentalist and invented new methods for teaching inner city children to read. In 1983, Raby was Harold Washington’s campaign manager in what was the first time a black was elected mayor of Chicago. With a 5-4 record, Raby’s schedule included schools with enrollments ranging from 4A power Chicago Phillips (a 48-0 loss) to 6A playoff qualifier Chicago King (a 14-12 loss). They also had a game scheduled with Roselle Lake Park (enrollment 2682), but forfeited it, probably wisely
so. What Oregon will face is a team that has been exposed to very talented athletes and one that won’t be intimidated by playing in 3A. Raby is 0-3 overall in the playoffs, but is a program on the rise. Two years ago, they lost to Aurora Christian 49-12. Last year, Robeson beat them 2616. They do have a 3-star recruit in 6-3, 267-pound lineman Jamal Milan, who has received numerous D-I offers from schools such as Illinois and Syracuse. Milan will be the best player Oregon will have seen so far this year. The Raiders will have bigger and faster players than Oregon, but will not have same team discipline and execution that the Hawks are noted for. The game will definitely be a contrast in styles. It is highly likely that the visiting crowd at Friday’s game may be the smallest ever at Oregon. Chicago

Public League schools do not travel well and the fact that the school is only 10 years old also hurts attendance. The winner of the game will face either Sterling
Newman or Aurora Christian. AC has knocked Oregon out of the playoffs the past three times and Newman did that same the year before in 2009. If Oregon wins, they will be
on the road for the second round. In 12 playoff appearances since 1999, Oregon is 13-11 under coach John Bothe.

As always, there were a few surprises when the IHSA announced its annual football playoff pairings Saturday night. One of the biggest involved the Oregon Hawks. “When you’re 5-4, you never expect to host a game,” Oregon coach John Bothe said. “Obviously it’s a big surprise, but the chance to be in the playoffs – and then play someone new, and host them at our place – you can’t ask for anything more than that.” Oregon will host Chicago Raby, which also went 5-4 and had 43 playoff points – one fewer than the Hawks. The game will be played 7:30 p.m. Friday at LandersLoomis Field. Should the Hawks hold serve, a second-round matchup looms with overall No. 1 seed Newman. But Newman (9-0) has no easy task, as the Comets will host Aurora Christian Saturday at 2 p.m.. The Eagles were the last team to get into the playoff field, and the lone 5-4 team with fewer than 40 playoff points to earn a postseason berth;
they were one of five squads with 39 playoff points, and won the tiebreaker over the other four teams by virtue of playing more playoff teams during the regular season. The last time Newman hosted Aurora Christian, the Eagles thumped the Comets 41-7 in the 3A semifinals in 2012. “It’s a very tough firstround game, and we’re going to have to be on our best game right off the bat,” Newman coach Mike Papoccia said. “But after what happened the last time we played them, the kids are jacked up to get the chance to play them again.” Elsewhere in 3A, ErieProphetstown (6-3) grabbed the sixth seed, and will take its dominant run game on the road game against No. 3 St. Joseph-Ogden. The game is scheduled for 4 p.m. Saturday. The Panthers will look to control the clock with electric fullback Dylan Binion. The Panthers lost in the second round last season against eventual 3A champion Stillman Valley. Class 1A Seventh-seeded
(6-3) will play a road game against second-seeded Forreston (8-1). The game would be at 6 p.m. on Saturday. Forreston lost two starters in Friday’s loss to EastlandPearl City. Starting quarterback Robert DeVries injured his left leg during the game and didn’t return. The Cardinals also lost starting center Dalton Blatter to a leg injury. Their status for the game against Fulton is unknown, but the Steamers will prepare for DeVries taking the snaps. “They’re a very good football team,” Lower said. “Their head coach does a great job, and it’s going to be a tough matchup for us.” The Steamers waited until Week 9 to secure a playoff berth with a win over Bureau Valley on Friday. Fourth-seeded Polo (72) will host a first-round game against No. 5 Ottawa Marquette (7-2). The game is slated for 2 p.m. Saturday.
The winner of that game would play the winner of the game between top-seeded Stark County (9-0) and Fulton Monmouth United (5-4).
Sports Column Huge week ahead for OHS sports teams By Andy Colbert Reporter On Friday, Oct. 3 at about 9 p.m., not even in John Bothe’s wildest imagination could he ever envisioned what the future held for his Oregon football. Neither could the most
optimistic Hawk fan in the world imagine what was in store for the next three weeks, culminating with a mind-blowing announcement this past Saturday evening. Here’s what Oregon faced in the fourth quarter of its game against Winnebago on what will go down and one of the biggest turnarounds in Hawk football history. Oregon trailed Winnebago on Oct. 10 by a touchdown and the Indians had the ball at the 2-yard line, moments
away from putting the game away. It wasn’t just the game that was at stake, but the whole season, as well. The week before, Byron gave Oregon a demoralizing fourth loss, a game that Oregon desperately needed to win to have a chance for the playoffs. Now, ‘Bago had Oregon down for the count to make it official. Somehow, the Hawks rose up and kept Winnebago out of the end zone and went on

to win the game. However, a very good Mendota team and defending state champ Stillman Valley remained. Sure, the ‘Bago win was nice, but the odds of winning the next two games seemed almost insurmountable. If Vegas was handicapping this, it probably would have been 20-1 against Oregon. Then again, when ‘Bago had the ball at the 2-yard line, the odds were likely higher against Oregon. There’s no empirical explanation for how the Hawks pulled off these past three wins to finish 5-4 and qualify for the playoffs. Intangibles such as perseverance, guts and mental toughness, needed to do the seemingly impossible, can not be scientifically measured. To really set this whole thing into the stratosphere was the IHSA announcement that Oregon would host a first-round playoff game. Nobody with four losses gets to host in the first round. But, who would have thought five of the eight teams in the quadrant would have four losses and that Oregon would have the most playoff points of the five? Back on Oct. 10 when Winnebago had the ball on the 2-yard line, what if an angel came up to coach Bothe and whispered in his ear, ‘don’t lose faith coach, you will be hosting a first round playoff game a few weeks
from now’? I don’t think we could fault John if he shooed the angel away for speaking such nonsense. Besides a home playoff game, this will be a huge week for sports at Oregon. The volleyball team, fresh off a BNC title and Stillman Valley Tournament championship on Saturday, begins its quest for a berth in the state tournament. It would be great to have a huge crowd of supporters at Byron on Thursday for the regional title game. As an Oregon Hawk sports fan, you couldn’t ask for a better scenario. A volleyball title game on Thursday and a home football game on Friday. If you ask folks in the know, the volleyball team has as good of a chance of anyone from the sectional complex to advance downstate. If Oregon is fortunate enough to win a tough regional, with Byron or Lutheran as potential challenges, it will be another close trip to the sectional at Pecatonica. Let the caravan of road trip fans continue to grow. Could you imagine the enthusiasm if both the volleyballers and gridders make it through to play next week? School spirit, how can you not love it? The week would not be complete without another sports spectacular. On Saturday, the 1A cross-
Andy Colbert
country sectional returns again to Park West with 42 teams from all over northern and central Illinois competing for the right to advance to the state meet. One reason for the sectional being at Oregon is because of the heritage and tradition of Hawk cross country. Unfortunately, Oregon doesn’t have a boys or girls team or individual competing, for perhaps the first time in school history. However, coaches Tim and Lori Gipper have brought a lot of enthusiasm into the program and hopefully that positive energy can be built on. Still, it was a good year for both the boys and girls teams in terms of all the sportsmanship exhibited. Even without Oregon competing, this is an enjoyable event to watch. The meet starts at 10 a.m.

Help an Oregon native win a grant Local votes are still needed to help an Oregon native win a nationwide grant contest to help the students she teaches at a Chicago high school. Maggie (Folk) Kendall, a 1995 graduate of Oregon High School, is one of the finalists for a $100,000

S u dok u ! Answer Found In Today’s Classified Section
GARAGE SALES
Thursday, October 30, 2014 Sharing your life experiences will help others avoid mistakes. Your sensitivity will comfort those in need, resulting in a boost to your popularity. Recognition and advancement are heading your way and will enable you to try for goals you once thought unattainable. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Don’t judge others. You will receive valuable information from an unlikely source. A person who is often disagreeable will have the knowledge and answers you are looking for. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t offer to help a stranger with a good sob story. Allowing someone to take advantage of you will lead to regret and loss. Look out for your interests. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your steady approach will be difficult to maintain. If you make a snap decision or change of plans, let your family know to avoid putting any of them in an awkward position. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be cautious when sharing personal secrets. Private information has a way
of becoming public knowledge if you confide in the wrong person. Be smart and avoid embarrassment. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Get involved with events or organizations that are close to your heart. The more you believe in something, the more enthusiasm and energy you will offer. Expect to meet people who share your ideals. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Think before you speak. If you are feeling overly sensitive, you may take something the wrong way. Listen carefully and refrain from making a lofty response. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Surround yourself with people who are encouraging and positive, and strive to be the same. The value of close, meaningful relationships cannot be denied or treated carelessly. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Touch up your surroundings. Renovations, remodeling or redecorating will add value to your property, or at the very least make you feel good. You can save money by doing the work yourself.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- This is not the best time to get into a deep conversation. Plan some solitary activity where you can collect your thoughts before you speak your mind. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -It’s worth your while to go the extra mile at work. Dependable, hardworking people are not always easy to find, and your efforts will be noticed and rewarded. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- An outgoing and colorful someone will take you by surprise. Don’t be too quick to think this person has all the answers. If something sounds too good to be true, it’s probably false. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Little problems can grow out of proportion quickly. Electrical, plumbing or equipment concerns should not be taken lightly. If you are in doubt, have someone check it out.
