Vandals blamed for damage to statue’s cover

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Vandals are being blamed for the damage to the protective plastic mesh surrounding the Black Hawk statue at Lowden State Park near Oregon.

“This is vandalism. It’s been cut,” said project conservator Dr. Andrzej Dajnowski from Conservation of Sculpture & Objects Studio, Forest Park.

Dajnowski and his crew, who have been repairing the 104-year-old statue, were on the scene Monday rewrapping it to protect it from winter weather.

“We’re rewrapping it for winter,” Dajnowski said. “I don’t want the sculpture to be exposed to snow or rain.”

Strong winds earlier this month tore off approximately the top third of the protective wrapping attached to a scaffold surrounding the statue.

Dajnowski said Monday that when he climbed to the top to do repairs he saw the plastic mesh had been cut.

“I was shocked when I saw it. This is unacceptable,” he said. “The flag that someone put on the top is also gone.”

The mesh on the lower part of the statue was not affected, Dajnowski said.

Late last summer an

American flag appeared at the very top of the plastic-encased scaffold, but it is disappeared just s mysteriously.

Dajnowski said that with the mesh gone, the statue, as well as repair work already done on it, are exposed to the elements, which can potentially cause most damage.

He said he has not reported the vandalism to the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department.

Sheriff Brian VanVickle confirmed Monday that the incident has not been reported.

“If they want to file a report, it will be handled like any other investigation,” he said.

Dajnowski said he and his crew will replace the damaged mesh with a new double layer.

Designed by Chicago sculptor Lorado Taft in 1910 and dedicated in 1911, Black Hawk has been damaged by the effects of time and weather.

Dajnowski is part of a team of experts hired to restore the portions of the statue that are crumbling and falling 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 Crews were busy Monday repairing the protective screen that Lorado Taft’s Eternal Indian, also known as the Black areas.

Sixteen complete EMT training

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecountynews.com A new class of EMTs will soon be serving residents of Ogle and Lee Counties.

Sixteen people from Oregon, Mt. Morris, Stillman Valley, Polo, Ashton, and the Dixon Rural Fire Departments completed a rigorous class to become EMTs. “Their training was extremely rigorous,” said instructor Dana Carr, EMS educator from Mercy Rockford.

“They had 180 plus hours of training

where they had to pass written tests and skills tests. They also participated in simulated accidents.”

All that is left is for them to become certified is to pass a national exam in December.

Being certified is not the end of classroom training.

“The Illinois Department of Public Health requires continual really education,” said Carr. “Nationally they need to re-certify every two years and the state re-certifies every four years.”

Everyone in the course has had

some prior medical training as first responders. This will be the first time that they are directly in charge of a person’s care at the scene.

When responding to medical emergencies these new EMTs will not be alone.

Dr. John Pakiela, is with Mercy Rockford’s MD-1 program.

Oregon will don on its holiday best on Saturday, Nov. 28 to officially welcome the Christmas season at the 29th Candlelight Walk.

The festive event will feature the annual arrival of Santa Claus, seasonal music, taste-tempting treats, and holiday giveaways as businesses roll out the red carpet to welcome shoppers.

“We are always excited to host this event,” said Debbie Dickson, Executive Director of the Oregon Chamber of Commerce. “This year, in particular, so many businesses and organizations have partnered to continually improve our holiday kickoff.”

The evening begins when Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive at the Ogle County Courthouse Square, chauffeured by the Oregon Fire Department at 4 p.m. to light the Christmas tree.

Dickson especially invited shoppers to take a stroll down Candy Cane Lane, which is a transformation, just for the occasion, of Franklin Avenue between Fourth Street (Ill. 64) and Third Street.

The block is closed to traffic and lined with food venues, vendors, and live reindeer at First National

“Candy Cane Lane is a great safe thoroughfare between the Coliseum and Conover,” Dickson said.

“There’s going to be a lot of great aromas and activities going on there.”

The Lincoln Highway Association will serve kettle corn; Cliff Jones will offer his well-known apple cider donuts and grilled hamburgers; the Oregon Lions Club will have pork chops; and the Oregon Boy Scouts will be making S’mores.

After Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive, they will stay on the scene from 4:30 to 8 p.m. on the lower level of the Coliseum to hear kids’ Christmas wishes and take pictures.

Other family activities on the lower level of the Coliseum include the Winter Quarter Carnival and balloon artist Brett Belleque.

The Gingerbread Kitchen in the downstairs will serve treats such as homemade chili, personal pan pizzas, bread sticks and sauce, gingerbread sugar cookies, and beverages.

Man purchasing old grocery store

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com

Byron firefighters responded to a truck accident at the intersection of Ill. 72 and Ill. 2, south of Byron, late Monday morning. The driver was airlifted to the hospital. Photo by Earleen Hinton

Driver serious after truck accident A semi truck driver was seriously injured Monday morning on Ill. 2 near Byron.

Ogle County Sheriff’s Police said the driver, whose name and age were

not available at press time, was eastbound on Ill. 72 and failed to stop at the stop sign and negotiate a turn at the T-intersection with Ill. 2.

The semi truck and trailer left the roadway and rolled

onto its driver’s side in the ditch on the south side of Ill. 2. The crash occurred at 11:48 a.m.

The trailer was loaded with popcorn.

The driver was airlifted

by Lifeline helicopter to OSF St. Anthony Medical Center, Rockford, where he was listed in serious condition.

The crash remains under investigation.

The old Pineway grocery store building may have a new occupant if a special use application is approved by the city.

Allen Musch has plans to build a living space in the rear of the building and use the front of the building as a woodworking shop for his business.

“I will be doing architectural millwork for banks, healthcare, and government projects,” Musch said. “I currently do this type of work.”

The main entrance to the business will be through the current sliding doors. An office will be built where the liquor store and flower

shop was located when the building was operated as a Sullivan’s grocery store.

The building is located at 1000 Pines Road.

Musch plans on keeping the docks for deliveries and shipments.

City building inspector Casper Manheim said building codes require a two-hour fire rated wall separating the residential and commercial sides of the building.

Musch said he was aware of the requirements and will work with Manheim to ensure everything meets fire codes.

A public hearing needs to be held for before the special use can be approved.

The hearing is set for Monday, Dec. 14 at 5:30 p.m.

First winter storm of the season caused slick roads

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Mother Nature kicked off the winter season early and decisively, dumping six to 10 inches of heavy snow on Ogle County over the weekend.

Flakes began to fly Friday afternoon but most of that melted due to warm air and ground temperatures.

The white stuff began to accumulate in the early evening and by 8 p.m. the storm was getting down to business.

The snow fell steadily throughout the night and continued through Saturday afternoon, reducing visibility and turning roads slushy and

slippery.

In a Facebook post Saturday morning, Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle advised residents to stay at home.

“In case you haven’t looked outside, it is still snowing and the roadways are snowcovered,” VanVickle posted at 9:45 a.m. “So pour yourself a cup of coffee and stay safely inside.”

The sheriff’s department implemented winter weather operations from 9 p.m. Friday through 9 p.m. Saturday.

Lt. Greg Kunce, who heads up patrol operations for the sheriff’s department, said that over the two days, deputies responded to 19 traffic accidents and 49 cars

in ditches, most of them on Saturday morning when the conditions worsened.

“Fortunately we had no serious accidents, just property damage and cars in ditches,” he said.

He said motorists may not have anticipated the deteriorating road conditions as the storm picked up steam.

“It started off slow Friday night. On Saturday morning with the wind and falling temperatures and heavy snow, the roads were drifting and much worse,” he said.

With winds out of the north, east-west roads were the most impacted by drifting road.

Ogle County Engineer Curtis Cook said snowplow

drivers worked 13 hours on Saturday and another five on Sunday to get and keep the roads clear.

“Since it was a wet heavy snow it stuck to the pavement pretty readily,” he said.

Drifting meant icy spots remained on both state and county roads on Monday, and Cook said the county crews were still cleaning up.

Kunce said that with winter approaching, residents

should make sure their vehicles have good tires and are in good repair.

He also advised motorists to slow down for winter road conditions.

“During the storm, we still were ticketing drivers for speeding,” he said. “Several were going in excess of 70 mph and the highest one was going 91 mph.”

VanVickle cautioned motorists to limit travel

during winter storms.

“Your safety and your family’s safety begins with you being responsible, “ he said. “If you are required to travel please use caution, drive at an appropriate speed, and be prepared. Prepared for what? To spend the night in your vehicle. Please make sure you have a coat or even a blanket. Make sure your cell phone is charged and your vehicle has enough gas.”

Keep the wreath red

This holiday season, the Oregon Fire Protection District has decorated its fire station with a wreath that has a special significance.

The wreath is part of the Keep the Wreath Red fire safety campaign, a statewide program that reminds residents to practice fire safety during the holiday season.

The wreaths feature decorative red lights, and for each Oregon Fire Protection District fire caused by holiday decorations, one red bulb will be replaced with a white bulb.

Oregon Fire Chief Al Greene urged residents take precautions with holiday lights and decorations.

“Help the fire department Keep the Wreath Red by unplugging holiday lights before leaving home or

sleeping, being careful with candles and open flames, using flame-retardant decorations, ensuring lights are in good condition and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listed, and keeping real trees watered,” he said.

Oregon Republican Reporter, Thursday, November 26, 2015, Page A3

Gangland-style murder took place north of Oregon Editor’s note: Otto Dick, Oregon, has researched the people, places, and events important in Oregon’s history for the Ogle County Historical Society. The following is one of a series of the articles he has written.

By Otto Dick The April 27, 1932 Ogle County Republican newspaper reported the following story.

People of this immediate section have been brought face to face with the vengeance of gangland in putting out of the way those who interfere with its operation or violate its code.

For years past we have read of the slaughter in Chicago and other centers, but Tuesday afternoon was the first that the czars of gangdom have put into effect their sentences of death in this immediate section.

The whole affair occupied but a few seconds, but in that time a Buick coupe was chased from the highway into a guard fence and its driver was riddled with sawed-off shotgun slugs, while those guilty of this crime sped on to other parts.

Angello Tarrallo, aged 35, Kenosha, Wisconsin, bootlegger, according to the testimony of his brother Joe before the coroner’s inquest, was the unfortunate victim.

Speeding north along the state highway (Ill. 2) four miles from Oregon about 4:30 Tuesday afternoon, his car was approached from the rear by a large sedan bearing

The newspaper headlines told the story of the murder of a Kenosha, Wisconsin man in 1932. Photo supplied

the killers, and when at a point on a curve, and where no person was near at hand, gangland’s guns blazed and another score was settled.

D. E. Lesperance, residing on the east side of the Rock River, directly opposite from where the murder took place, noticed a car taking the curve at that point in the road at a terrific speed, closely followed by a second and larger car.

As the second car drew close, he heard three reports of guns, and saw the smaller crash into the guard fence along the road.

Realizing that something of a serious nature had taken place he ran to his house and phoned the Byron police who immediately got word to (Ogle County Sheriff) Earl Blanchard and he went immediately to the place where the shooting occurred.

He lost no time in getting there, but no car passed him which would answer the description of the one which the killers rode in.

Later, reports came in that a big black Buick sedan had

turned off on the gravel road north of the killing and had gone west.

It was reported that it contained four men apparently Italians and that part of the windshield was gone. All efforts to nab this car proved of no avail.

Tarrallo, according to reports had engaged in booze racket and had extended his operations to northern Illinois, and the makeup of his coupe would more or less bear this out, as the rumble seat had been taken out and ample storage room had been arranged under the cover.

That his killing was premeditated is apparent from the fact that officials at Dixon and at Rochelle noticed a large Buick car answering the description of the killer’s car cruising about both cities bearing a New York license plate.

Dixon officers were at the point to stop this car and check up on it, when it left town, apparently on the Black Hawk Trail to the north having sighted its objective.

Tarrallo was traveling

alone and had nothing in his car when killed, but his overcoat and what few effects were in his clothes.

These consisted of $400 in cash, a notebook with various entries in figures, some names, a Hamilton watch and heavy gold chain, pocket knife and some cards and automobile license Angello Tarrallo’s car crashed into a guardrail on Ill. 2 receipts.

His overcoat which lay four miles north of Oregon after he was shout gangland beside him contained in one style in April of 1932. Photo supplied pocket a 45 caliber automatic revolver, fully loaded and an extra magazine in the pocket of the car.

An extra magazine was partially loaded. However death came so quickly to him that he had no opportunity to use his gun.

His hat had the band shot off and was riddled with bullets until it resembled a sieve.

His wife who came here from Kenosha as quickly as possible, was in a state of collapse and fainted at the undertaking parlors.

The story will be continued The arrow marks the spot where Angello Tarrallo was shot. Photo supplied in the next issue.

Officials pleased by renewal of license for Byron Station

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Local officials say they are pleased that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved Byron Generating Station’s license renewal application for an additional 20 years.

Ogle County Board Chairman Kim Gouker, Byron, said that he is happy, but not surprised by the decision.

“It’s something that’s been expected for a long time,” Gouker said Nov. 20. “Exelon has been a very large taxpayer in the area and a large employer. I think it’s a positive sign that they’re going to be allowed to continue.”

Byron Mayor Chris Millard also voiced his appreciation for the decision which was announced by the NRC Nov. 19.

“The community has benefitted from our partnership with Exelon Generation and the license renewal for Byron Station is a positive for the entire region,” Millard said. “Many people rely on the economic activity the station’s large employee

base brings to the area, and we hope the facility continues to operate for another generation of northern Illinois residents.”

The approval is the culmination of a rigorous, multi-year process that licenses Byron Station to operate until 2044 for Unit 1 and 2046 for Unit 2.

“Nuclear energy is an essential part of the energy mix in Illinois and is needed for the state to comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power plan to reduce carbon emissions,” said Byron Station Site Vice President Mark Kanavos. “The NRC’s approval of the license renewal demonstrates that Byron Station has met all the criteria to provide aroundthe-clock reliable, carbonfree energy until at least the middle of the century.”

Exelon Generation paid more than $16 million in real estate taxes this year for Byron Station to 11 the affected taxing bodies, which include Ogle County, Rockvale Township, Byron School District, Oregon Park District, Oregon School District, Byron Museum District, Byron Fire Protection

District, Byron Public Library District, Byron Forest Preserve District, Rock Valley College, and Kishwaukee Community College.

Byron Station supports approximately 5,100 direct and secondary jobs in Illinois, and the facility contributes $1.7 billion to the state’s economy annually.

While license renewal provides Byron Station the opportunity to operate for decades to come, it does not guarantee the plant will stay in business that long.

The facility continues to face economic challenges due to distorted markets that don’t properly recognize and value all carbon-free energy sources equally.

Exelon announced in September that it will defer any decisions about the future operations of Byron Station for one year.

Exelon personnel spent thousands of hours preparing the license renewal application that was submitted to the NRC on May 29, 2013.

This process involved reviewing thousands of documents, a detailed review of historical equipment and component performance, a

safety and environmental review and a rigorous review of the existing maintenance and engineering programs.

The reviews were conducted to ensure the station is capable of maintaining plant systems over the extended license period.

Byron Station began generating electricity in 1985 when Unit 1 came online, followed two years later by Unit 2.

The plant’s original 40-year operating license was set to expire in 2024 for Unit 1 and 2026 for Unit 2.

The 40-year term for initial nuclear plant operating licenses is based on amortization schedules to finance large utility projects, not on safety, technical or environmental considerations.

The Atomic Energy Act of 1954, the original legislation authorizing civilian use of nuclear energy, permits nuclear power plants to renew their operating licenses.

Byron Generating Station generates nearly 2,300 megawatts of electricity, enough for more than two million homes.

Byron Station also reduces the region’s reliance on fossil

fuels and reduces greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming.

Over the last 10 years, Byron Station has operated at 93.8 percent of capacity, which is above the industry

Jo b

g Chan

average of 91 percent and according to the Nuclear Energy Institute, significantly higher than the next closest U.S. baseload electricity provider, coal (59 percent).

Barnett receives Moose award The Mt. Morris Moose honored Kim Barnett, one of its members, by presenting her with a red tassel. She received the award on Nov. 4.

This honor is given to a Woman of the Moose who has attended the Moose International Convention and has achieved several levels of advancement, including Collegian.

Barnett also served an additional year in the chapter with her College of Regents.

As part of the College of Regents night, Barnett asked Mooseheart graduate, Juan Solis, to speak and share his story.

Solis came to Mooseheart when he was 18 months old in November of 1997.

Due to the young age of his parents and family circumstances, he grew up at Mooseheart. He received an education and housing.

He is now attending college by way of Moose Charities and is majoring in Mass Communications and minoring in Criminal Law. The funds that local Moose lodges collect for scholarship

and maintenance are what provides college education for Mooseheart children.

“It is truly a magical place and I’m so thankful I was given the opportunity to live and grow there. Mooseheart saved my life,” Solis said.

He currently speaks at

Moose conventions and is working on a Hand to Hand program where members can come to Mooseheart and live a day with a resident.

Solis ended his speech with this thought: “Just think, every time a member joins, a child is saved.”

Raffle for antique sleigh to benefit Oregon infant Tickets are $5 each; 6 for $20 The Rally for Rowen committee is holding a fundraiser for an antique sleigh just in time for the holidays to support the Wehmheofers with their medical expenses.

Rowen Louis Wehmhoefer was born Sept. 21 to Clayton and Jena (Grover) Wehmhoefer.

Rowen was transferred to Rush Hospital in Chicago within hours of his birth and underwent open heart surgery on Sept. 29, at only eight days old. Rowen has ongoing medical issues that will require additional care as well as surgeries.

Currently, Rowen is home from the hospital and enjoying time with mom and This antique sleigh is being raffled to benefit an Oregon infant. It dates back to the dad.

1920’s and was restored by John Barnhart. The sleigh is not only beautiful, but fully John Barnhart, a cofunctional. It can be viewed in the lobby of the Nash Recreation Center in Oregon. worker of Jena’s at the

Oregon Park District, has generously donated an antique, refurbished sleigh to be raffled off.

The sleigh dates back to the 1920’s and was restored

by Barnhart. The sleigh is not only beautiful, but fully functional. The hitch is included to hook to a horse or it can be used with a ball hitch behind a garden tractor or truck.

The cushion of the sleigh features a time capsule that was sewn into the fabric for the next owner to find.

Barnhart has restored numerous sleighs throughout the years, many on display at Conover Square, and always adds this hidden item for the next owner.

The intricate wooden details on the sleigh highlight the hand painting Barnhart has done. The winner of the sleigh can also choose a family name for personalization on the front

of the sleigh.

The sleigh is currently on display at Nash Recreation Center in the front lobby.

Tickets can be purchased at Nash Recreation Center for $5 each or 5 for $20.

The drawing will be held Monday, Dec. 14 and the winner can pick-up the sleigh after personalization is done.

The sleigh would be a wonderful addition to anyone’s holiday decor and can be unassembled for storage or to set-up inside a home.

This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of history that isn’t normally for sale. Barnhart estimates the value of the sleight at $3,200.

For more information about tickets sales call Nash Recreation Center, 815-7323101. A Rally for Rowen account has also been set up at First National Bank, c/o Rally for Rowen, 307 Franklin Street, Oregon.

Christmas concert will be held Dec. 6 at Trinity A free Christmas concert will be performed Sunday, Dec. 6, at 3 p.m., at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, 308 E. Brayton Rd.,in Mt. Morris.

The program is called “Bethlehem’s Child” and will be performed by singers and musicians from northwest Illinois.

The concert has grown in size since the first performance in 2004. Each year, a freewill offering is taken to support local food pantries. This year, Loaves and Fish in Mount Morris and Lifeline in Oregon will

receive the donations.

The concert will feature more than 50 voices in the choir and 12 instrumentalists from surrounding communities and counties. Dr. Matthew Guschl, Davis Junction, who was the musical director last year, will again conduct the concert. Prior to the concert, music will be performed by the Blackhawk Brass quintet, directed by Andy Eckhardt, Oregon High School music teacher.

Bryan Gagliano will play an organ prelude.

All are invited to come

before 3 p.m. to hear the prelude musicians.

Nelson Miller, who directed and produced the first concert, is still involved with the event.

According to Nelson, what began as a “do you think we can do it?” idea in 2004 has turned into a much-anticipated annual tradition and a benefit to local charities.

“Frankly, people thought I was crazy to try it,” admitted

Miller “It was a big undertaking, getting singers from local churches, assembling an orchestra, integrating bell choirs from the host churches in Mt. Morris. But, people loved it!

“We had tremendous participation.

Performers drove from Freeport, Rockford and Dixon to join us. So, after the first year, I thought, ‘Well, we can do it again! And, let’s make it

Day spoke on veterans issues at RRC Nov. 10 T. Richard Day, VFW Commander of the Sixth District, spoke at the Rock River Center on Nov. 10.

Commander Day discussed the average age of veterans, what life is like for them during and after their time served, and shared some of his own experiences.

Many people can never understand how much veterans sacrifice and endure.

Hearing Commander Day’s presentation was a reminder of their service.

The staff and participants of the program appreciate him taking the time to give the program.

coffee are provided around the fire pit.

New this year is a brand-new concession stand built by the Oregon FFA’s Agriculture Mechanics Class.

Hot dogs and a better selection of drinks will be available with the new amenities.

Hours throughout the season are Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 12 to 4 p.m. and weekends from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

All are invited to come out and support the future of agriculture as they work with Sinnissippi Farm to provide the best Christmas tree experience in Northern Illinois.

Prairie Preservation Society at Sand Ridge

The hunt is on for the perfect Christmas tree.

On the day after Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, the Prairie Preservation Society of Ogle County (PPSOC), a nonprofit organization, will begin sales of trees at 10 a.m.

Sales will continue through Dec. 23

The public is invited to a reception following the concert.

from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends and 2 to 4 p.m. on weekdays at the former Cut-It-Yourself Sinnissippi Tree Farm, 2879 S. Daysville Rd. Find the perfect tree for your family’s holiday celebrations and leave Sand Ridge with the sense of satisfaction that only a successful hunt can create.

Beautiful trees, left by the former Sinnissippi Tree Farm purchased by the PPSOC, trimmed to beautiful shapes, will be sold to pay for the 82 acre site which contains high quality prairie remnants. It has been renamed Sand Ridge.

Sand Ridge is a great place to visit even without the bonus of the Christmas trees.

With hills of waving prairie grasses and forbs (wild flowers), stands of spruce, fir and pine, it provides a quiet beauty and sense of peace to those fortunate enough to stop there.

The sound of the breezes in the evergreens and their invigorating scent provides a moment transported to the north woods.

Wadsworth named VOP Volunteer of the Year

By Jermaine Pigee Sauk Valley Media Tom Wadsworth’s seat didn’t even have a chance to cool. Appropriate for a guy who jumps at every opportunity to volunteer.

The longtime volunteer with Village of Progress had the honor of introducing the Janie Entyre Volunteer of the Year Award on Nov. 18 at the agency’s 46th annual banquet St. Mary’s Learning Center.

He then handed the microphone to Brion Brooks, a member of the VOP board of directors, and took his seat.

“This person has volunteered at the Village of Progress for about 15 years,” Brooks said. “He has never missed a single day that he said he would volunteer.”

Brooks announced Wadsworth as the winner of the award. Seated near the stage, Wadsworth shook his head in disbelief as roughly 300 people applauded.

“I had no idea,” Wadsworth said when he took the stage, still in shock. “I wasn’t even paying attention to what he was saying. Now, I know how the other award recipients feel, just tongue tied and don’t know what to say.”

Nearly 300 people showed

up to celebrate the talents and contributions of the VOP’s many consumers and volunteers. Per usual, the banquet was chock full of love and excitement.

Wadsworth has been the banquet’s master of ceremonies for about 15 years.

“This is the largest annual banquet like this in Ogle County,” Wadsworth said.

“This is a big event.”

After dinner was served by members of St. Mary parish, one by one, consumers and volunteers approached the stage to receive their awards.

Some award recipients thanked VOP for their awards, while others couldn’t wait to grab their plaques and ribbons and go to their seats, where loved ones hugged and congratulated them.

Jennifer Hobbs, 23, won the night’s first award, the John Herrmann Personal Achievement Award.

“I’m shocked,” Hobbs said quietly after winning her award. “I’ve been with VOP for five years.”

When Hobbs first arrived at VOP in 2010, it took her a while to open up. Her true personality started to show itself in the cafeteria during break times.

After a short period of time, she has gotten more comfortable around the staff.

She has even shown some good-natured sarcasm.

VOP is a private, not-forprofit organization founded in 1969 that provides training and rehabilitation for Ogle County adults with developmental disabilities.

These clients are called consumers.

The annual banquet is the organization’s chance to thank volunteers and consumers alike for their work.

Wadsworth was the one thanking the crowd after he won his award.

“Thank you,” he said.

“This is a big honor.”

VOP award winners announced Here are the 11 award winners recognized at the 46th annual Village of Progress awards banquet, with brief commentary from the VOP staff: John Herrmann Personal Achievement Award Jennifer Hobbs. When she first arrived, it took her a while to open up. “Hello” and “See ya later” were about the only thing she said to staff. After some time, she became more comfortable around the staff, and even started showing goodnatured sarcasm and a sense of humor.

Robert Moehle Personal Achievement Award Diane Bicknese. VOP first met Bicknese in 1971 when her family moved from the Elgin area to Leaf River. She started at the village when she was a teenager. This past year, Bicknese left her country home and moved into an apartment in Oregon.

Her ability to cope with major life change makes her very deserving of this award.

Janie Etnyre Volunteer of the Year Award Tom Wadsworth. He has been a VOP volunteer for about 15 years. He has served as the master of ceremonies for the VOP annual banquet for roughly 15 years.

Fred Smith Competitive Employment Award Julius Dursch. He has been consistently involved with the VOP since 1995. He has worked on a variety of jobs both at the Village as well as part-time in the community.

Since 1997, he has worked in the Village Supported Employment Program and the Village Cleaning Service.

Carly Heller Special Olympian of the Year Award Ralph Miller. He began attending the VOP in April of 1988. Miller works on the VOP’s Wahl Clipper production, performs many of the jobs related to the yarn machines, and also helps with both in-house and community janitorial jobs.

Village of Progress Foundation Scholarships Brandon Wagner. He is a senior at Rochelle Township High School where he maintains a 3.2 grade-point average and has a strong interest in computers. He plans to attend Kishwaukee College, where he will study information technology.

Matthew Crandall. He has maintained a grade-point average that keeps him in the top half of his class at Oregon High School. He feels a strong call to help individuals with special needs. Crandall intends to get a degree in elementary and special education. He has already been working with high school special education students.

Brianna Letson. Letson is a senior at Byron High School. After graduation, she plans to attend Hawkeye Community College, where he wants to complete a degree in special education.

Rick Hahn Business of the Year Award Plymouth Yarn Company of Bristol, Pennsylvania.

Since 1965, Plymouth produced quality yarns for retailers throughout the United States. For the past several years, it has partnered with the VOP to produce its sample cards.

Robert Stahl Friendship Award Jason Roinas. He enrolled at the VOP in September 2009 as one of the students in the VOP’s transition program with the schools. Roinas is very friendly and quick to lend a hand to those who need assistance. He offers to help others who are challenged with mobility issues and will clean up and clear away the tables for himself and others after lunch and breaks.

Nicor planning on replacing gas mains in Oregon

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com Aging gas mains throughout the south side of Oregon will be replaced over the next year.

Representatives from Nicor Gas held a meeting with city officials Nov. 17 to discuss the preliminary plans for the project.

Commissioner Jim Barnes asked if the project was only mains, or if the services will also be replaced.

“We are going to be replacing mains and services,” said Nicor Community Relations and Economic Development Manager David Pietryla. “This is being done for the safety and reliability of our service for customers.”

The upgrading will replace

old services, mains, and meters.

Some of the mains in Oregon were installed more than 70 years ago. One half mile gas main was installed in 1932.

The company is finalizing which mains in the city will be replaced.

Nicor is currently in the second year of a nine year project to improve their gas network throughout their service area.

“We are investing in the community and we want to communicate with the community,” said Pietryla.

Customers will be notified

by Nicor through direct mailings, notices in their bills, and, if needed, a representative will knock on doors and talk to customers.

Work will be done by machines directionally boring the lines under the ground to minimize the amount of digging required for the project.

Nicor representatives did confirm that some digging may be required to complete the project. Landscapers will be utilized to fix any damage that is done to property once the project is complete.

Residents will see a variety of markings on the ground to indicate where underground pipes and utilities run. These will allow contractors to safely install the new gas mains and services.

Work will begin with spotting meters, which is the processor moving meters located inside the home to outside the home.

Nicor will contact residents to schedule a time for the work.

This will continue through the winter.

Work on the mains and services will take place after the start of the new year.

Nicor representatives are still finalizing the date which that work will begin. The project is expected continue into the summer.

Work will be done block by block with small five to eight man crews. These crews will wear badges so residents know who they are.

To pay for the project, gas customers will notice a small fee on their bills.

This will be between $1 and $1.50 per month throughout the duration of the nine year upgrade project.

The upgrades in Oregon will be the first community in Ogle County to see their old mains replaced.

Nicor is currently finishing a project in Rock Falls and Rockford.

Work on services to county buildings, businesses, and the school will be completed during off hours to minimize the impact to facilities.

Homeowners will be disconnected from their gas service during the switch. This service interruption will be brief. Representatives said the gas can be restored in under 15 minutes.

If any meters or moved or service lines switching is taking place while the weather is below freezing, representatives said they will make contact with

the homeowner before disconnecting the gas.

“If we can’t get in the home we will not shut the service off or change the meter,” said Nicor representative Frank Young.

Young said Nicor is communicating with all affected customers to ensure they are aware of the project.

A website with status updates on the project will be created and a link to the site will be available through the city website.

City officials will be updated throughout the project and contact information for the project will be available at city hall.

Currently there are no plans to upgrade the mains and services on the north side of Oregon.

Final step for EMTs will be to complete national exam From A1 to the scene or talk to the EMTs to help with the care of a patient.�

Pakiela said the program allows extra resources for EMTs. “Medical care is always changing and this can help critical patients and improve the standard of care,� he said.

The MD-1 program is staffed by doctors and can authorize additional care for patients before they arrive at the hospital.

Throughout the training the 16 graduates have been supported throughout by their departments and families. “The on duty paramedics, EMTs, and departments have been helpful,� said Carr. “This has been one of the most supportive departments I have been at.�

The graduation ceremony Nov. 18 was the time for their families to hear about the results of their training.

“I want to congratulate you on your hard work,� said Pakiela. “This taught you about life, hard work, and rewards. This is a big deal.

He encouraged the graduates to take the national test and prepare to make a difference in their communities. “When you get out on the field, you will be working hard to make a difference in people’s lives,� said Pakiela. “On this stage you will be saving people. They may not thank you today, but they will thank you for saving their lives.�

Oregon Fire Chief Al Greene said these graduates took on the challenge to learn the difficult skills required to become an EMT. “You guys did it,� said Greene. “They were individuals when they walked in the firehouse and I watched them progress into a team.�

All the area departments are part of MABAS 18,

which is a mutual aid system which allows departments to respond to neighboring districts during emergencies. “We all work together,� said Greene. “It is nice to see a familiar face. They are the faces we will see on the streets when the big incidents happen.�

Public Voice Fortunate to live in Oregon

Dear Editor, The courthouse square has been given an “upgrade” in our Community Christmas Tree!

In conjunction with the efforts of Decorate Downtown and our 29th Annual Candlelight Walk, numerous local organizations, businesses and entities have pitched in to help support the enormous endeavor of creating a festive look for the holidays!

The addition of the new light poles and snowflakes along Fourth Street has really pulled the whole package together this year.

We send out a huge thanks to: The Prairie Preservation Society for the gift of a beautiful live fraser fir tree; to Merlin’s Greenhouse & Flowers and Woods/Blount

for the funding to cover the cost of our new tree topper; to the Oregon Park District for hanging the baskets and “floofing” that ribbon, and supplying delivery service and manpower to raise and anchor that tree - and what a challenge that proved to be in the winds we experienced that morning! To the donor who wishes to remain anonymous, for gifting the Chamber $5,000 to put toward the purchase of the lighted snowflakes on Fourth Street. To Beesing Welding for building the inner support to hold that gorgeous new star atop the tree; to Ehman’s for use of a bucket truck and Rich’s kind spirit in making sure everything was pruned, secure, steady, and straight; to the Oregon Street Department for the careful and exacting placement of snowflakes and light pole tags; to Monica Putnam, co-owner of Hidden Timber Gardens and Erin of O.P.D. for stringing lights; and to HA International and that fabulous crew who are

getting that beautiful roping up all over town!

How fortunate we are to live in a community that consistently strives toward excellence!

Man “salutes” new memorial

Dear Editor, My late father, Robert Moehle, was a World War II U.S. Coast Guard Veteran.

I attended the memorial on Nov. 11 in town and it was awesome that so many people were there.

My father was a proud man and has served the country well. I salute all veterans and the memorial looks great.

I also was nice to see Gary Black and Donna Mann.

Shop Oregon this Christmas

Dear Editor, I am committing myself to shopping only Oregon this Christmas. And Conover shops will be my first stop.

Go Oregon!

Terry Schuster Oregon City Commissioner

Corcoran clarifies his Conover letter

Dear Editor, My intention is not to shut the Conover Square building down, but rather to bring awareness to the community about its condition.

Many area of the interior hallways have carpeting that is unsafe to walk on because it has been compromised due to age.

Some of the wooden planks on the second floor are weak, unstable, and you can see through to the first floor in some areas.

The bathroom floors need repair because the subfloor is also deteriorated; linoleum is curled up and there is a foul odor pervading from them.

The possibility of mold in the building needs to be confirmed and corrected.

The building is approximately 140 years old so I am wondering if the wiring is safe and can pass a fire inspection.

Is it up to code for the entire building? How about fire alarms, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors/ alarms, and sprinkler systems?

Are escape routes up to code? Are there any escape routes?

I have brought some of these issues up at city council over the last four years and in my opinion, these issues have not been addressed.

I would like to see the building code report on this property.

If a catastrophic event does occur and the City of

Oregon, city council, city building inspector, along with the property owner are proven to be negligent in not meeting and enforcing ordinances and codes, would the tax paying body responsible?

In closing, I wonder why the condition of the building has gotten to this point?

Shouldn’t repairs have been made progressively?

It is unfortunate that it has developed into this situation.

I am all for the economic growth of the community.

However, I believe this is a safety issue.

I urge that the city officials act on this matter immediately.

I would like to see safer conditions for the local patrons without liability to the Oregon taxpayers.

I sincerely apologize to anyone that I may have offended regarding this issue.

Hawk bowlers win 47-team tourney in stunner

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com The number one question high school bowling fans were asking at Romeoville on Saturday was “Where’s Oregon?”

In a stunner at the 47team Plainfield North Invitational, the unknown and unheralded Oregon boys bowling team took first place with 6,378 pins.

“Everyone was coming up and asking where we were from,” Oregon coach

Al Nordman said. “To beat that many large suburban schools was amazing.”

Not only were the unranked Hawks the secondsmallest school present, but the final margin of victory wasn’t even close.

Tinley Park Andrew was second with 6,204 and Lockport third with 6,171.

With an average enrollment of 2,440, eight of the top 13 ranked teams in the state were present “I’ve never had a day of execution like it in all my years of coaching,”

Nordman said. “The best part was every guy listened and nailed it.”

Led by AJ Nordman, Oregon took command of the tournament in the morning session, leading by 100 pins.

Nordman had a 751 series for the morning and had tremendous support from Derek Poole (679), Joe Miranda (678), Kyle Lundquist (630) and Jacob Coleman (610).

It was the first time Oregon has ever had five bowlers with over 600 series

at once and a 1,169 score in the third game was a school record.

“We also had a 1,139 in the second game and have never had two scores like that before in a 3-game block,” Nordman said.

After the first game, Oregon was in fifth place, but took the lead for good after game two.

With lane conditions deteriorating in the afternoon session, Oregon didn’t bowl as well as it did in the morning, but nobody did.

In the final individual standings, Poole took third place with 1,384 pins and Nordman fourth at 1,377.

This is Poole’s first year bowling for Oregon, as Winnebago coops with Oregon. Miranda was 18th among the 282 competitors with a 1,296.

“We have three guys that can shoot 700 on any given day,” Nordman said.

“What made today were the fourth (Lundquist) and fifth (Coleman) guys.”

Pat Mulhern of Glenbrook North nipped Travis Oesterle

of Plainfield Central for the individual championship, 1,408 to 1,407.

In 2012, Oregon had a high game of 1,160 and also became the school’s only state-qualifying team, but the victory on Saturday sets a new bar for the Hawks.

“We left in a blizzard that morning, not sure if we’d go and then with all those top teams there, how things ended up is hard to describe,” Nordman said.

“This is absolutely the high water mark for the program.”

Lady Hawks get one win in opening tipoff tourney Oregon downs P-Town 36-33 for first victory

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com At the Oregon Tipoff Classic, the Lady Hawks finished 1-2, winning its final contest on a truncated final day.

With inclement weather conditions on Saturday, Nov. 21, some teams did not make it to Oregon and the schedule was adjusted accordingly.

Instead of playing two games on Saturday, Oregon played Prophetstown and came out with a hard-fought 36-33 win.

“We were down most of the game and battled back,” Oregon coach Kristy Eckardt

said.

Oregon exerted its defensive muscle to hold Prophetstown to the low point total and the press had a lot to do with that.

“The press got us back in it,” Eckardt said. “Emily Perkins made a couple of steals and a shot to tie it up.”

Ally Bartling clinched the win with a pair of clutch free throws. Even in the two losses, the team got contributions from a wide range of players.

“Everyone was ready to step up and hit shots,” Eckardt said. “I was happy with our balance and consistency.”

The Prophetstown win was an example, as Bartling and Bailey Montavon had eight points each. Perkins and Naia Cisneros chipped in seven.

In a narrow 55-50 loss to Fulton, both teams were tied

39-39 after three quarters before the Lady Steamers pulled away.

Anni Wilson had 13 points and Montavon had 11 to lead Oregon in scoring. Abby Newman added nine and Bartling seven points.

Against Genoa-Kingston, the Lady Hawks struggled to stay close and fell 5844. In another example of balanced scoring, Newman had 11 points, Bartling 10, Montavon seven, Wilson and Bella Holley five and Perkins four.

“We had flashes of brilliance with our rebounding and defense,” Eckardt said. “With it being so early in the season, there was some inconsistency, but Oregon’s Naia Cisneros reaches to flick the ball free from a Fulton player during action I’m very excited with our at the Oregon Tipoff Classic.

The Oregon freshsoph team took second to Prophetstown.

Snow caused adjustments

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com After spending last Saturday dealing with all the variables of weather and its effect on school activities, Oregon athletic director Mike Lawton gained firsthand experience of what a superintendent feels like on a snow day.

“That exactly what it is was like,” said Lawton, as the final games of Oregon Tipoff Classic finished up that night.

Lawton fact-finding mission started at 7:30 a.m.,

as he went out and drove the roads to determine their conditions.

At that time, they were in decent shape, as also evidenced by Byron’s freshman girls basketball tournament being conducted and the Hawk bowling team on their way to the south suburbs for a tournament.

“Based on that, I decided to have the tourney as scheduled,” Lawton said.

Unfortunately, conditions started to deteriorate at 9 a.m. In the meantime, a couple of schools with losing records cancelled right away.

A few other schools inquired

about playing later in the day.

That’s when Lawton began to make adjustments for the 24 games to be contested by both varsity and fresh-soph teams, including wiping the morning session out.

On a sidenote, with Ottawa Marquette scheduled to play Stark County in football on Saturday, the Marquette girls team had made prior arrangements with Lawton to not play.

A last minute replacement, Stillman Valley agreed to take Marquette’s place in Saturday’s bracketing. That would have worked out, but Oregon’s Alli Henson takes a shot while being double teamed by Fulton players during Turn to B2 tournament action last week. Photo by Chris Johnson

Hawks looking to rebound in 2015... in a big way

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com After back-to-back losing seasons, look for the Oregon Hawks boys basketball team to rebound in a big way.

The senior-laden squad returns four starters, along with an unexpected gem in foreign exchange student Arne Wendler.

Wendler played on the U-16 Germany national team and will nicely complement Hawk star player Trevor Otten.

“He’s the best shooter I’ve had,” said Hawk coach Quinn Virgil of Otten, a 3-year starter.

Otten has averaged 45 percent shooting the 3-ball the last two years. Virgil sees even bigger things in Otten’s future.

“He’s made tremendous gains from last year with his strength and going to the hole,” Virgil said. “He’s working on creating his own shot.”

skill set in Germany, as the European style of play is somewhat different than this country. According to Virgil, Wendler has the best post moves of any one on the team and is very adept at dribbling. He is also the most skilled around the rim.

Oregon has good size up front with Carson Buck, Jerrick Orsted, Andrew Newman and Zach Stromberg all 6-3 to 6-5.

Orsted, who is coming off a groin pull from football, is getting stronger and will be an inside player. The sharp-shooting Buck had the highest attendance of workouts and has also seen varsity action since his sophomore year.

“The kids worked hard in the summer lifting and doing skill work,” Virgil said.

“Trevor, Jarrett Reynolds and Mitchell Nehrkorn really bulked up.”

Reynolds will be the vocal leader and the direct the offense at point guard. Last year, having his appendix removed and then having the flu at the regional hampered

him.

“He’s light years away from what he used to be in terms of being bigger and stronger,” Virgil said.

Virgil is counting on Nehrkorn to go to the rim more and have an improved jump shot.

Coming off the bench will by senior Trey Wilson, a hustler noted for his defense.

A pair of juniors, Kole Mowry and Newman, will be key contributors.

“Newman knows all five spots and is our utility guy,” Virgil said. “Kole has a motor and plays with a lot of energy.”

Stromberg will be under the basket and will be used for rebounding and guarding big men.

A total of 16 players are out and Virgil categorizes them as a fun group that is close. The first couple weeks of practice have been the best he has experienced in quite some time.

To take advantage if his talent, Virgil is tweaking the offense, putting in a dribble Turn to B2

Schedule will test Hawks from the start to finish From B1 drive that enables playing off each other.

“I think we’ll score more and play at a faster pace,” Virgil said.

Defensively, the Hawks will be similar to years’ past with about 60 percent manto-man and 40 percent zone.

“We’ll go more 1-3-1 (zone), because we are so rangy and long,” Virgil said.

“I used to be all man-to-man, but after seeing how effective coach Schmidt and Byron run the zone, I’ve changed my tune.”

Compared to years past, when the Hawks struggled to compete with everyone on the schedule, Virgil expects to be in each game.

“Our goal is to compete with everyone,” Virgil said.

“We had a good summer and I think if we play our best, we can stay with anyone.”

Virgil sees his team strengths being athleticism, ranginess and skills. The biggest weakness is overall Oregon’s Arne Wendler puts up a shot Monday night while being guarded by West defense.

start to finish this season, with December tourneys at Forreston and Newman, a road game at Johnsburg, a rugged BNC slate and facing 2A power Harrisburg at the Benton shootout.

“It’s a tough start,” Virgil said.

Oregon opens up play this week at its own Thanksgiving tournament, wrapping up pool play Friday at 7:15 against St. Bede. The championship rounds will be Saturday.

In the conference, Virgil

sees Dixon and Rockford Lutheran as the teams to beat. Dixon brings back Nebraska recruit, Isaiah Roby and Lutheran has three state trophies in the last four years.

“Winnebago returns a lot and has (Brandon) Suggs back. Byron has a good senior class that people have been keeping on eye in since they were in grade school,” Virgil said. “It will be a fun conference, with teams beating each other on any given night.”

Area players named to all-state team

By Brian Weidman Sauk Valley Media The games may be over for football teams in the Sauk Valley, but for a few individuals, the honors are rolling in.

Sterling’s Sterling Thornton, Polo’s Brooks Grobe, Fulton’s Kegan North and Erie-Prophetstown’s Jack Heflin each earned spots on the Illinois Football Coaches Association All-State teams, it was announced on Friday.

Thornton made the Class 5A team, Heflin was a 3A selection, while Grobe and North were 1A team members.

The 6-foot, 180-pound Thornton was the engine that made the Golden Warriors go this season at quarterback.

He completed 90 of 156 passes for 1,106 yards and nine touchdowns, with five

interceptions. He also rushed 192 times for 945 yards and 22 TDs. Thornton was an honorable mention all-stater as a junior, and hoped to make the jump to first-teamer.

“I’m always trying to improve,” Thornton said, “and I spent a lot of time and effort in the offseason getting bigger, stronger and faster, but it’s not just about me.

My teammates and coaches each did the things necessary for us to have a successful season.”

Grobe was the top threat in a balanced Polo offense that racked up 594 points in 12 games. The 5-10, 185-pound halfback had 117 carries for 1,353 yards and 17 touchdowns. He also caught six passes for 53 yards and two more scores.

Grobe was also a force on defense at linebacker for the

11-1 Marcos.

“This means a lot to me,” Grobe said. “I set goals at the beginning of the season, and this was one of them. I didn’t know if it was going to be possible because I wasn’t getting too many carries early in the season. Then I started getting at least 100 yards a game for most of the games, so that’s when I started to think about it a little bit.”

The 6-3, 265-pound Heflin anchored the ErieProphetstown offensive and defensive lines this season.

He racked up a team-high 85 tackles, and was a unanimous all-conference performer on both sides of the ball. His 30 career varsity starts are the most in program history.

North, a 6-1, 225-pounder, was a stout linebacker for the Steamers, and a two-year allconference selection. He had

48 tackles, 36 assists, 1.5 sacks and 1 fumble recovery this past season.

Other all-staters from local conferences include Forreston offensive lineman Brady Bronkema (1A), Orion running back/ linebacker Josh Ellison (1A), Lena-Winslow running back/defensive end Chris Stockton (1A), Hall running back Chris Hammonds (2A), Rockridge linebacker/ offensive tackle Dakota McManus (2A), Byron linebacker Jacob Elsbury (3A), Princeton linebacker/ running back Jacob Smith (3A), Princeton offensive tackle/defensive end Chaz Williams (3A), Rockford Lutheran linebacker Logan Davis (4A), Rockford Lutheran running back James Robinson (4A), and Geneseo defensive tackle Jacob VanDoren (4A).

Lady Hawks win one From B1 Saturday’s weather had a different idea.

Ironically, the football game ended up being postponed until Sunday after Marquette had traveled to Stark County.

“At some point, all I wanted to do was get people games,” Lawton said. “It almost ended up like a jamboree, loosely following the brackets.”

Genoa-Kingston, Amboy,

Prophetstown and Oregon made it for the full day, while some of the other schools came for the night shift only.

“Kudos to the cooperation from everyone and all the tournament help we had from Oregon people. The officials were very flexible too,” Lawton said.

Stillman Valley beat Amboy for the tournament title, but were not awarded the first-place trophy because they were a fill-in team.

Sports Column Time to catch up on some odds and ends

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Time to catch up on a few odds and ends.

Among sports achievements in Oregon school history, what the bowlers did Saturday would have the rank right up there.

Beating out 46 other teams to win the Plainfield North Invitational is an honor in its own right.

But, to pull that off against schools several times larger than you is even more remarkable.

That would be inconceivable in any other sport at Oregon.

Their score of 6,378 would put the bowlers towards the top of the IHSA boys state meet, in a sport that only has one class.

• It is not official about Amboy leaving the Three Rivers conference and joining the NUIC. So let’s wait for the formal announcement.

However, South Beloit is leaving the conference after this year and the tentative plan is for Amboy to replace them.

• At the IHSA crosscountry meet earlier this month, Jon Davis of Fithian Oakwood (enrollment 291) became the seventh runner ever to crack the 14-minute mark on the 3-mile Detweiller course in Peoria. Davis, whose time beat everyone from 2A and 3A, is only the third runner from a small school to end

their career among the top 25 times in IHSA history.

The incomparable Craig Virgin, from tiny Lebanon, still has the state’s best time with 13:50, set in 1972.

The other small-school runner in the top 25 is from a school that hasn’t had a cross-country team for decades and that is Craig Young of Stillman Valley, who ran 14:13 in 1973 as a junior.

Young, who is indisputably the best distance runner to come out of Ogle County, did not go out for cross country his senior year, though.

• Compared to other sports, wrestling doesn’t get much publicity. Some of you may not have seen this, but it is worth noting that University of Iowa team hosted a meet outdoors at the football stadium and it drew 42,000 fans.

As a former resident of that town, I remember how big of a deal wrestling was in the 1960s and 70s with stars like Dan Gable.

Good to see that tradition is continuing with the “Grapple on the Gridiron” at Kinnick Stadium.

• Early in September, there was the story of disgraced police officer Joe Gliniewicz. With a wild goose chase going on for three imaginary suspects, Oregon’s volleyball game at Johnsburg was cancelled.

Regardless of whether the shooters were real or imagined, was it really necessary to shut down everything in a multi-county area? This is a reflection of how fearful our society has become. * Instead of 12 teams, Oregon boys basketball tournament only has eight

teams in it. Genoa-Kingston and Kewanee, each with a D-I player, are taking a 1-year hiatus to showcase their teams elsewhere. On the other hand, Rockford Keith and Hinckey-Big Rock left because the tourney was too tough. Can’t please everyone.

• As I was driving back from church on Sunday and glanced over at the Polo football field, I wondered what would have happened if a playoff game were scheduled there on Saturday. Had Polo beaten Stark County, they would have been hosting Ottawa Marquette.

After much deliberation, Stark County’s field was deemed unplayable and the game with Marquette took place at Dunlap on Sunday.

Would Polo have gone ahead in played in a snowstorm like they did at Lombard Montini? But, that was at an all-weather field, like many in the suburbs are.

At Downs Tri-Valley in central Illinois, the game turned into a mud/snow bowl.

There is a huge difference between grass and the allweather surfaces. Mendota was the first school in this region to get an all-weather

field and other schools are following, especially those with larger enrollments that can afford it.

• With Thanksgiving coming up, remember to throw some carrots, celery, onion and bay leaves in the bottom of your turkey pan for more flavorful gravy.

This cooking tip might to late for you, but don’t be afraid to use that Halloween pumpkin for cooking.

Pumpkin is highly nutritious and can be baked in the oven just like squash.

I’ve even put a chicken inside the pumpkin before baking and the result is a very moist bird.

Illinois State Police District One Commander, Captain Karczewski announced that officers will conduct special Traffic Enforcement Patrols (sTEP) from Nov. 22 - 28 in Ogle and Whiteside counties.

District 1 troopers will concentrate on speeding, failure to use occupant restraints, and other driving offenses as part of their enforcement efforts.

The sTEP program involves a combination of increased enforcement and public information designed to raise public awareness and compliance to all traffic laws.

Speeding is a contributing factor in 31 percent of a

fatal crashes nationwide.

In Illinois, speed-related crashes account for over 40 percent of all traffic fatalities.

Safety Belt Enforcement Zones may also be used during the sTEP program.

Troopers will enforce the primary safety belt law to ensure drivers and all of their passengers are buckled up.

Every hour someone dies in America simply because they are not wearing their safety belt.

Statistics show that half of all people killed in traffic crashes are not property buckled up.

Lives can be saved by driving safely and simply buckling up.

Where a sale of real estate is made to satisfy a lien prior to that of the United States, the United States shall have one year from the date of sale within which to redeem, except that with respect to a lien arising under the internal revenue laws the period shall be 120 days or the period allowable for redemption under State law, whichever is longer, and in any case in which, under the provisions of section 505 of the Housing Act of 1950, as amended (12 U.S.C. 1701k), and subsection (d) of section 3720 of title 38 of the United States Code, the right to redeem does not arise, there shall be no right of redemption.

The property will NOT be open for inspection and plaintiff makes no representation as to the condition of the property. Prospective bidders are admonished to check the court file to verify all information.

Thursday November 26, 2015 SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Sincerely flattering the people you admire will make everyone feel closer and more in tune. There is nothing wrong with sending positive messages, provided they are from the heart.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are in a good position, but ignoring what the competition is doing will result in a missed opportunity. Compromise will be the name of the game where family dynamics are concerned.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It’s time to tighten the purse strings and avoid unnecessary purchases. Frivolous spending on entertainment will lessen your financial flexibility. Cut costs in order to ease stress.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A cultural, musical or sporting event will provide a welcome break to a long session of stressful maneuvering.

A personal or professional opportunity will develop from a chance encounter.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Stand out by making your forward-thinking, agreeable and adaptable traits easily seen. If you do this, recognition and

rewards will follow. A chance to travel for business or pleasure will pay off.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Get approval from everyone involved before you make a financial decision or commitment. Don’t assume you can speak for others. Consider the requirements of all sides in order for a successful resolution to take place.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your actions are affecting someone behind the scenes. Your easygoing charm has made you a subject of favorable discussions.

Be wary of anyone who is persistently asking for loans or donations.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Lady Luck is smiling on you. Profits through careful investments or real estate holdings are on the horizon.

A beneficial partnership will develop with an acquaintance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be open and share your concerns about your future stability with your family or partner. A viable solution to your worries will come about as a result of your combined efforts.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Holding a grudge is a waste of time and will cause more stress for you than your opponent.

Focus on projecting positive energy and an optimistic attitude in order to move forward without hindrance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -You will be the shining star at any social or professional event.

Others will be drawn to your innovative ideas and original perspective. A romantic liaison is in your future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- There is money to be made.

Your unique gifts can make for a lucrative sideline business by furnishing an ongoing service or must-have item. Someone from your past will want to reconnect.
