Work continues on the Oregon Library project By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Renovations at the Oregon Public Library are continuing. Work got underway last month when excavators arrived to dig the hole for an elevator. Packard Excavating, Oregon, began the project Nov. 5 by preparing a pit for the foundation of the elevator on the northwest side of the brick building. Mild November and December weather has meant concretet work on the elevator enclosure could be
done sooner than next spring as originally planned. Library Director Andrew Dettman said the elevator will mean the library is in compliance with Americans with Disabilties Act (ADA) standards. The library renovation project also includes two ADA-compliant restrooms and turning the lower level into the children’s area. That, in turn, will free up space in other parts of the Workers from Quality Ready Mix pour concrete behind the Oregon Library Tuesday in preparation for the installation library, Dettman said.

OHS teacher brings entertainment to math class By Christopher Heimerman cheimerman@sauk valley.com Whether or not Danyel Larsen is funny is immaterial. Same goes for math, the subject she teaches at Oregon High School. Nonetheless, she was pretty doggone funny while going over how to graph sin and cosine waves during her seventh-period honors precalculus class Wednesday afternoon. “Why does ‘K’ stand for vertical shift, when ‘H’ is for horizontal shift?” Kelsey Handschuh asked. “Because it starts with a silent ‘K,’” Larsen said. “You know. Kuh-Vertical.” Then there was the debate over why Larsen kept drawing the unit circle over and over again on her transparency. “I can’t put it on the board,” she said. “I’d keep turning around. I’d get dizzy.” Put it on the back wall, a student suggested. “Then you’d all be turning
around,” she countered. “Who do you want to be dizzy? Me or you? I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing.” A tattoo was suggested. “No tattoos,” she said, laughing, “no tattoos. How about I learn it, and tattoo it on my brain?” It was an overview of material the students already knew. The subject matter was boring, she said. But for the last period of the day, the environment was fun. From the moment she entered her second-floor classroom, Larsen was engaging students. Making sure her students know she cares is the key to being honored three times in the month of October alone. She was one of six teachers in the district to win a Those Who Excel award (the fourth straight year at least five Oregon teachers have earned the honor) from the state Board of Education. She was also one of five finalists in the state for the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching, earning her a $10,000 award

Practical application Five-eighths of her second-period AP calculus BC class, all seniors, popped by after school to corroborate the humanconnection theory. “It just feels like I’m there with a group of friends and associates,” Paul Reckamp said. “We’re all there as equals trying to get the same thing done.” Joe Miranda’s a bowler. “There are all sorts of angles and trajectories, and proportions of oil on the lane that affect every shot I’ll take,” he said. “I’ve got to take all those things into consideration.” Cole Burke is a wrestler. “You’ve always got to be thinking about all the possibilities on how you can get to a solution,” he said. “It’s a similar thought process to math.” Will Coots plays French horn. So does Larsen. “We had a lot to talk about, and math helped me think about music in a more logical sense,” he said. “Usually I’m the dreamer who just goes off and does
whatever he wants, but math has said, ‘Hey, these are some rules you have to follow.’” Zoe Nelson simply enjoys being eased into a class that involves complicated subject matter. She said that on Mondays, especially, they’ll take 5, sometimes 10 minutes catching up on what’s going on in their lives. During Wednesday’s seventh-period class, bad math puns caused waves of groans. The jokes all came from the students. Evidently, it’s a trickle-down effect. “How many bad math jokes do I make? A lot,” Larsen said. “I’ve got bad transitions, too, and the kids like those.” “We’re only laughing at you, because you’re thinking that it’s funny,” Coots said. “That’s because they are funny,” she countered, deadpan. Breaking the ice As a student in Hononegah, Larsen was quiet. “I didn’t say much at all,” she said. Turn to A8

Building project means new and better services By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com An addition and renovations will allow the Oregon Living & Rehabilitation Center, 811 S. 10th St., to offer the community new and expanded services in a
homelike setting. “Everything will be designed to fit our residents’ needs and provide an area where they will feel comfortable,” said Melissa Joyce, Director of Communications. Ground was broken Nov. 17 for the $500,000 to $600,000 project, which will
include new office space and redesigned residents spaces. Regional Administrator Dana Payton said the project will be done in two phases. Phase 1, which is already underway, is a new addition on the northeast corner of the facility to provide 1,400 square feet of office space. Early in the planning
stages the addition ran into a glitch, Payton said. Because it lies in a 100year flood plain, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) required that the addition be raised four feet. A taller foundation accomplished that, and the project moved ahead. “It’s really Phase 2 that we’re most excited about though — the areas that will be for our residents,” Payton said. Once Phase 1 is completed and the offices are moved from the front of the building to the addition, Phase 2 can begin. The present office area will become a living area with a bistro where residents can be comfortable and entertain family members and other guests. The dining room will be

Entertainment will be provided by Chip Messiner, and refreshments will be served. redesigned and outfitted into a 1,000 square-foot therapy center for residents, as well as non-residents. A back area will made into a secured unit for dementia care. “It will provide them with a secure environment where they can feel at home and be safe,” Payton said. The secured unit will have its own dining room and activity area. Another space will be renovated into suites for patients who are there temporarily for rehabilitation only. With the walls up and the
roof, interior work can be done on the addition. Plans call for Phase 2 to begin early next year. Joyce said the renovations will mean that the facility can better meet a variety of needs for community residents as close to home as possible. “We need to do everything we can to keep our people local,” she said. “We want to keep them home.” Payton agreed. “When people are getting to that stage when they’re giving up so much, it’s nice to be able to give back to them a setting where they can feel at home,” she said.

Businesswoman died of stroke Sauk Valley Media According to preliminary autopsy results, an Oregon woman found unconscious in a bathtub at her restaurant last month died of a stroke, Lee County Coroner Jesse Partington said last week. June Arians, 71, a retired
school teacher, was found late in the afternoon of Nov. 28 in a bathtub at The Road House, a restaurant and bar she ran with her husband, former Oregon Mayor Michael Arians. She was pronounced dead at KSB Hospital, Dixon, where she was transported
by Oregon ambulance. The autopsy was performed Dec. 3. Oregon Police Chief Darin DeHaan turned the investigation over to the Illinois State Police because Michael Arians served as the city’s mayor from 1999 to 2003.
Performance is a tradition From A1 In 2004 the first cantata was held and over the years has turned into an annual tradition. “It was a big undertaking, getting singers from local
churches, assembling an orchestra, and integrating bell choirs from the host churches in Mt. Morris,” said Nelson Miller, who directed the 2004 cantata. “People loved it.” Over the past 10 years the
performances have raised approximately $9,000 for local causes including the Lifeline Food Pantry in Oregon and Loaves & Fish in Mt. Morris. The concert is always free but donations are accepted.

The Oregon Republican Reporter was founded in 1851 as the Ogle County Reporter. In 1889, the Ogle County Republican, a competing newspaper, was started. In 1890, the Republican was sold to Ziba Landers. Upon his death in 1939, the newspaper was assumed by his son, Ernest D. In March 1951, Paul F. Behan, owner of the Reporter, and E.D. Landers and his son E.G. (Tim) Landers united the newspapers into the Republican Reporter. Ernest D. Landers died in 1966, and E.G. and Behan became partners. Eventually, E.G. Landers assumed sole ownership, and in 1985 he sold the newspaper to B.F. Shaw Printing, Dixon. Ogle County Newspapers also prints the Mt. Morris Times, Forreston Journal, and Polo’s Tri-County Press.

Murder victim’s house in Kenosha was burned 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 third in a series he is writing about the gangland-style murder of Angello Tarallo, 32, Kenosha, Wisconsin, who was shot to death in April of 1932 while driving on Ill. 2 approximately four miles north of Oregon. By Otto Dick Local newspaper accounts revealed the following information in the days following Angello Tarallo’s murder on Ill. 2 north of Oregon. Tarallo Vehicle Viewed at Jim White Garage That Tarallo’s Buick coupe was traveling at terrific rate of speed from the fact that a large section of the heavy guard fence on the curve was broken off and splintered, some pieces of having been thrown 150 feet into the adjoining field while large splinters of the plank fence were forced clear through the steel about the fenders of the car. The car was brought to the J. M. White Garage where it was viewed by a large number of people. Tarallo’s remains were taken to Chicago Wednesday afternoon and the burial will be made Saturday in the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery there. The only theory advanced by local officials is that Tarallo had perchance encroached upon territory in northern Illinois claimed by other “alky” runners and in so doing had placed himself in danger of death. Papers on his person showed that he had paid a garage bill at Prairieville between Dixon and Sterling Tuesday, and it is possible that on his return trip from the south, the killers lay in wait for him at Dixon and took up the trail from that point north on Route 2,
Library is getting a face lift From A1 being dedicated to art. “That will allow us to do more art programming up there, and we’ll be able to display more art there,” he said. The gallery will also be available as a meeting room and a quiet place to study, Dettman said. Moving children’s materials to the lower level will mean more space on the main floor for two additional computers and more seating areas where patrons can read and have a cup of coffee. “The new space downstairs is really going to allow us to do more programming,” he said. “And I think it’s really going to be a fun place for kids, too.” Work on the lower of the building will be done throughout the winter. Patrons will still have access to the main library throughout construction. Dettman said the library just recently started raising funds to restore the original fireplace on the main floor. The library will remain open for business during the work.

Oregon newspaper April 28, 1932 Echo of Tarallo’s Killing Near Here Relentless as heathen, the gang which “bumped” off Angello Tarallo near Oregon a week ago Tuesday afternoon means no letup. Taralllo is dead, and this should close the chapter, but apparently it doesn’t, as an incendiary fire was discovered Tuesday afternoon of this week in his home at Kenosha, Wis., which caused damage estimated at $4,000. Kenosha officials prying into the cause found that the furniture and rugs had first been saturated with kerosene and then the match applied. Fortunately members of the family had left the home vacant since Tarallo’s death and are in Chicago staying with relatives. Wisconsin state fire officials are making an attempt to trace those who were responsible for this deed.” “So far no clues of consequence have developed in the spectacular gun play which resulted in Tarallo’s

The finding of broken glass from a windshield at a spot on a side road where the killer’s car stopped, led to no further light on the crime. Tarallo no doubt was the victim of rival rum runners and paid with his life for muscling in on their territory.

Illinois State Scholars possess strong academic potential and are chosen based on a combination of exemplary ACT or SAT test scores and sixth semester class rank. State Scholars rank in approximately the top ten percent of high school seniors, representing 652 high schools across the state. “It is always an honor to announce another extraordinary group of State Scholars,” said Eric Zarnikow, ISAC executive director.
“At a time when postsecondary education could not be more important to future job and career success, these students have demonstrated the kind of effort and dedication that will help them advance not only their futures, but the future of the state as well. “We wish each of them the best as they pursue their chosen educational path.” Congratulatory letters from ISAC have been sent to honorees, and the agency has provided personalized Certificates of Achievement to each high school for distribution. “In addition to congratulating our State Scholars, we would also like to recognize their parents, teachers, coaches and mentors for helping these students to achieve their goals—both personal and educational,” said Zarnikow. “Your constant support, encouragement and wisdom remain vital in helping students transition from high school and make wellinformed postsecondary educational choices.”

Selecting the perfect Christmas tree can be simple Selecting the “perfect” Christmas tree this holiday season is simply a matter of following a few steps, according to Ron Wolford. University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator. “Picking out the perfect tree can be a fun, memoryfilled family tradition,” said Wolford. Wolford offers the following tips to help select
a fresh tree for the home and keep it looking its best. Pick a spot to place the tree before heading out to buy it. “Ask yourself whether the tree will be seen from all sides or whether some of it will be against a wall,” Wolford said. Choose a tree that fits where it is to be displayed. For example, if the tree is displayed in front of a
Area women are invited to the Women’s Connection’s brunch on Wednesday, Dec. 16 from 9:30 to 11 a.m. at the 4 Seasons Banquet Facilities, 1100 W. Galena Ave., Freeport.

“Take a tape measure with you to the farm. Trees always look smaller outdoors so measure to be sure,” — Ron Wolford large window, then all four sides should look as good as possible. If the tree is displayed against a wall, a tree with three good sides would be okay.
Brunch served in Freeport White at 815-871-2209 or email frptcwc@yahoo.com. The Freeport Area Women’s Connection is affiliated with Stonecroft Ministries.
A tree with two good sides would work well in a corner. “The more perfect a tree, the more expensive it will be,” Wolford added. Pick a spot away from heat sources, such as TVs, fireplaces, radiators, heaters, and air vents. “A dried-out tree is a safety hazard,” he said. Measure the height and width of the space you have available in the room where the tree will be placed. “There is nothing worse than bringing a tree indoors only to find it’s too tall,”
Kids can learn more about birds The Northwest Illinois Audubon Society is offering a Children’s Nature Event called What Do Birds Eat in the Winter, on Saturday, Dec. 12 at Oakdale Nature Preserve, from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Not all birds migrate
from this area. Bird watchers may wonder what the birds eat during the winter. Juliet D’Souza from the Northwest Illinois Audubon Society will teach the kids about winter feeding and have
them make pine cone bird feeders to take home. She will lead a short hike around Oakdale to gather some pine cones and look for any creatures along the way. Kids of all ages and their families are welcome. Binoculars and all of the
materials to make the bird feeders will be provided. Registration is are encouraged by calling D’Souza at 201-233-0946. Meet at the Mogle Building at 9:30 a.m. If weather is questionable, call before the event.
Wolford said. “Take a tape measure with you to the farm. Trees always look smaller outdoors so measure to be sure and don’t forget to bring a cord to tie your tree to the car.” If buying from a retail lot, Wolford recommends going during the day. “Choosing a tree in daylight is a much easier experience then trying to pick out a tree in a dimly lit lot,” he said. “Choose a fresh tree from a Christmas tree farm. Purchasing a tree from a Christmas tree farm ensures that you will have a fresh tree. A fresh tree will have a healthy green appearance with few browning needles. “Needles should be flexible and not fall off if you run a branch through your hand. Raise the tree a few inches off the ground and drop it on the butt end. Very few green needles should drop off the tree. It is normal for a few inner brown needles to drop,” he added. Make sure the handle or base of the tree is straight and long enough so it will fit easily into a tree stand after fresh cuts are made for water
uptake. Store the tree in an unheated garage or some other area out of the wind if you are not putting it up right away, Wolford noted. “Make a fresh one-inch cut on the butt end and place the tree in a bucket of warm water. When you bring the tree indoors, make another fresh one-inch cut and place the tree in a sturdy stand. “The water reservoir of the stand should provide one quart of water for every inch of diameter of the trunk,” he said. Be sure to keep the water level above the base of the tree. If the base dries out, resin will form over the cut end and the tree will not be able to absorb water and will dry out quickly. Commercially prepared mixes, sugar, aspirin, or other additives in the water are not necessary. “Research has shown that plain water will keep a tree fresh,” Wolford said.

Former Forreston businessman charged with murder By Jermaine Pigee Shaw Media jpigee@saukvalley.com
Bond was set at $5 million Monday morning for a Freeport man accused of shooting and killing his wife on Dec. 5. Morgan D. Hake, 49, is in Carroll County Jail, charged with two counts of first-degree murder and was scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing on Dec. 15. Public Defender Jerry Kane has been appointed to represent him. Hake operated a woodworking
business in downtown Forreston in the 1990s and is the owner of Hake’s Hardwood Floor Co., 1884 W. Becker School Rd. in Freeport. Suzanne M. Hake, 46, Freeport, was found shot to death around 2:15 Saturday morning in a home in the 200 block of West Locust Street in Lanark. Morgan D. Hake was arrested without incident less than an hour later in Freeport, after calling police and turning himself in, Deputy Chief Matt Summers said. One of the Hakes’ three daughters made the 911 call to police, Carroll County Sheriff Jeff Doran said

Monday. He declined to name the daughter, or to release any other information, except to say that an autopsy was done Monday, and it may take about a month for the report to be completed. Carroll County State’s Attorney
Scott Brinkmeier did not return a call seeking comment. In December 2003, Hake was charged in Stephenson County Court with being a felon in possession of a weapon, but pleaded guilty to an amended charge of obstructing justice by destroying evidence. He was sentenced to 30 months probation. Among others, Suzanne (Ruester) Hake, a hospice social worker, is survived by three daughters, Alix Birkner of Dayton, Tennessee, and Hannah and Abbi Hake of Freeport. She was working for Gaffey Home Nursing and Hospice in Sterling at
the time of her death. This is the first homicide in Lanark, a village of 1,500, since the late 1800s, said Mayor John Huggins, who also confirmed that the Hakes were still married. Her visitation is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 9 at 4 p.m. followed by a memorial service at 7 p.m. at Heil-Schuessler Funeral Home in Marrisa. Visit heilschuessler.com for the complete obituary and to post condolences. Memorials may be made to Gaffey hospice.
Larsen works to bring students into the classroom fun From A1 So she’s empathetic to reserved students, and tries to bring them into the fun. “I hope our humor, the atmosphere in here, brings them out of their shell,” she said. After high school, Larsen did her undergraduate work at the University of Illinois. She completed her masters in mathematics in 2012 at Northern Illinois University.
Her husband of 10 years, Adam, is the school district’s assistant superintendent. They live in Byron, and Larsen has taught in the district for 9 years, after 3 years at Hiawatha High School in Kirkland. A key to students’ success, she said, is recognizing when a student isn’t fit for the class. “You can tell pretty quickly whether a kid is
well-placed,” she said. “In the first couple of weeks of school, I can tell.” If students are overwhelmed by the material, or if it’s not challenging them, that’s when they tend to act out. At that point, she’ll work with the guidance counselor to get the student into the proper class. Think a student would feel demoralized to be relegated to a lower-level class? Think
received the Oregon Chamber of Commerce’s Business of the Year award for 2015. Among many reasons, the largest is because of their example of corporate citizenship. The definition of a corporate citizen is “the extent to which businesses are socially responsible for meeting legal, ethical and economic responsibilities placed on them . . .” (1). We believe Exelon not only meets these expectations but exceeds them. They are also a leading distributor of clean energy. Thank you, Byron Station, and Congratulations! Dr. Carri Anderson, D.C. President, Oregon Chamber of Commerce
Santa’s Breakfast this year at the Polo Area Senior Services Center. There were over 100 children along with their parents and family who attended, ate pancakes, colored and wrote out their Christmas list for Santa to take back to the North Pole, sat with Santa and Mrs. Claus and then purchased gifts for their families that the senior center provided and wrapped for the children. A special thank you is extended to Polo Firemen David Shuman, DJ Sanders, Justin Brown, and Colton Smith for flipping pancakes, the Polo Area Senior Services Center and members for all their efforts assisting the Chamber with this event. We would like to express our gratitude to the following businesses, individuals and organizations that either supported this event by donating, advertising or volunteering; Julie Peterson, Jeanette Linker of Country Financial, Centennial School, Charley’s Pharmacy,
again. “It’s like a sense of relief,” Larsen said. “Nice kids can get put into honors, and it’s too hard for them.” That sort of empathy is what the school district is built on, Superintendent Tom Mahoney said. For 3 years, the district has been using a third-party screening service to determine whether applicants are more studentor teacher-centered. The
district is looking for the former, and the screening helped when they recently had 300 applicants for three elementary teaching jobs. “It’s all about the human connection,” Mahoney said. “You can’t develop kids without developing relationships.” Larsen is visibly humbled by her recent honors. After all, it isn’t about her.
“That’s just the culmination of 12 years of hard work to become a better teacher for my kids,” she said. “I think that there is just a culture of wanting to be the best we can for our students. We’re constantly pushing ourselves to be better.” Forget the awards. The best testimonial she can hear? “I often hear that kids don’t like math, but they like coming to my class.”
speculate upon the structural integrity of Conover Square. Yet what makes me qualified to do so? Since you cannot replace history, it would be in my opinion sad to see Conover Square go. I feel that the community should come together and offer assistance in renovating this historical property. I am proud to support the merchants of Conover Square when possible. These merchants should be saluted for making a go at owning a business. Most everyone looks for the “low, low prices”. Yet money spent locally in a community benefits the community. Need I say more? Sincerely, John Spaine Oregon
Churches would like to thank everyone who donated or purchased cookies over the weekend. In all total, we packed 120 dozen cookies and sold every plate. Combined with last years’ sale and donations, this fund will be able to give over $1,000 to the Honduras Project. These funds will be used to help build block homes in Honduras. The goal for the team in 2016 is to help the residents build seven new homes. Bill Hare will once again be leading the group on the mission trip. If you missed the sale, donations can be made at the First State Bank of ShannonPolo. Thank you again for your continued support. Join us in praying for our mission team and the residents they will be helping.

Reading Matters Remember reading in your gift giving By Mary Gardner Reading Specialist I’ve enjoyed reading the news of the various Little Free Libraries being installed in our communities. I applaud the Title I teachers of the Oregon School District for their extra efforts to work with community organizations to place their hand-made libraries where they will be seen and used. The Jerry L. Johns Literacy Clinic at Northern Illinois University has also had success placing Little Free Libraries in various needy areas in DeKalb. The basic idea of the Little Free Libraries around the country is to provide books to children and adults who want to read. Access to books is a basic need if we are going to develop lifelong readers who enjoy reading. What if we consider
access to books when we buy gifts for our children and grandchildren during the holidays and for birthdays? First we might want to expand our definition of “books”. Let’s think in broader terms of access to reading materials. That opens up many options for even the most reluctant readers. Consider magazines, almanacs, catalogues, directions for games of all kinds, cookbooks, or blogs and websites. We can also consider the possibilities of e-readers and electronic books. Within that list there are several potential ideas for gift giving. The librarians at your local public library would be happy to suggest books based on your child’s interests. They can also tell you the most popular books for your child’s age. Many times classroom teachers can offer suggestions as well. We do want our children and grandchildren to have access to all kinds of reading materials.
We also want to encourage them to read. Positive attitudes and motivation for reading are also basic needs if we want them to be lifelong readers who can and do read. We can show that reading is important by including some kind of reading in our gift giving. If we search for materials that match their interests we increase the chance that they will want to read. We can spend time reading to and with them as well which will also increase motivation. Reading is a necessary skill in the world in which we live. Information comes at us continually from all sources. Some of it is in print that we must be able to read and understand. Being able to read can and will make a difference for our children and grandchildren in their lives both in and out of school now and in the future. We should do anything we can do to help them value the gift of reading.

Dukes shut down Hawks 46-33 in conference action By Andy Colbert acolbert@ogle countynews.com Playing in front of a large crowd at the Blackhawk Center with several media outlets present against one of the better 3A teams in the state, previously unbeaten Oregon discovered they aren’t quite ready for prime time yet. In one of the program’s most anticipated games in several years, the Hawks (4-1) fell behind early and Dixon never let them off the mat in a 46-33 Big Northern conference win on Dec. 4. A key to the Dukes’ (31) win was taking Oregon standout Trevor Otten out of his game. That job fell to defensive specialist, Nate Gascoigne, who made life miserable for Otten, holding the sharpshooter to seven points. “Right from the start, I tried to take him out of his rhythm,” Gascoigne said. “Nate did a great job,” Dixon coach Jason Mead said. “It’s the first time, he’s had that responsibility of taking on the number one guy. “ While Gascoigne was applying the defensive pressure, it was fellow senior
Riley Mehrens doing it on the other end for Dixon. The 5-11 guard torched the Hawks for back-to-back baskets behind the arc in the second quarter, including a 4-point play after being fouled. He finished with 13 points on four 3-pointers. “I was getting faceguarded by (Gascoigne). He wasn’t going to let me shoot,” Otten said. “Then Riley hit a couple shots that got us down.” Dixon led 11-8 after the first quarter before Mehrens and Isaiah Roby combined for 14 second-quarter points and 25-15 halftime lead. “When we let (Mehrens) catch and shoot, I knew we were in trouble,” Oregon Coach Quinn Virgil said. Just as importantly, in Dixon’s aggressive manto-man defense, Roby shut down Otten’s new running mate, foreign-exchange student Arne Wendler. Wendler, who hadn’t practiced all week due to a pulled quad muscle, never was a factor and it wasn’t because of his quad. “Isaiah did a good job on Arne,” Mead said. “We knew going in they play great man-to-man and help out,” Virgil said. “You can go over it all you want
in practice, but you can’t replicate it.” In the third quarter, Otten finally got off his first 3-point attempt, but it missed. Any hopes Oregon had of getting back in the game seemed to leave then, as the Hawks also were called for an inbounds 5-second call, a turnover, and offensive foul on three straight possessions. “We needed to be stronger with the ball,” Virgil said. “We forced shots and got out of rhythm. I thought we panicked and were sluggish at times.” An example of that was not getting the ball in two different times before the 5-second call, as Dixon never let up its relentless pressure. For the first time while at Dixon, Mead attempted a guard press, creating more havoc for Oregon. “We wanted to take advantage of our quickness,” Mead said. “It helps when you are able to go 8-deep. That’s deeper than I’ve gone here.” Roby, who quietly scored 23 points to lead all scorers, slowly began to take the game over in the second half on drives to the basket. Other than an embarrassing Turn to B2

Wrestlers perform during their home opener Dec. 5 By Randy Holland The Hawk wrestlers had their home opener at the Blackhawk Center on Saturday facing the Belvidere North Blue thunder and the Rock Falls Rockets. North had few wrestlers at the upper weights and the Hawks were sparse at the lower weights so it was a fast moving contest with the Blue Thunder prevailing 45-33. Rock Falls had a full lineup and used four forfeits, two pins and three major decisions to drop the Hawks 51-24. Belvidere started with three straight pins. At 145, Jake Mennen lost three backpoints before he was pinned in a half over the front at 1:26. Konner Wilson was tied at four when he was reversed in a granby and pinned with six tenths of a second left on the first period clock. Conner Hopkins lost three backpoints in the second period and was pinned in a half nelson at 4:33. The Hawks got their first
points from Caleb Mennen at 170, working into a reverse half for a fall at 1:10. Four forfeits followed with John Ghibellini, Devin DeHaan, Matt Stevens, and Cole Burke getting credit for the wins as Oregon took a brief 30-18 lead. And brief it was. Three forfeits by the Hawks put the Thunder up by six. Chase Clark added three points, riding out the third after scoring three takedowns. That was the last points for the Hawks. At 132, Skylar Carlson lost an escape and a takedown in the third, a late escape not enough in a 6-4 loss. Oregon forfeited at 138 pounds to finish the contest. Rock Falls also jumped out to an early lead. Starting at 152, Wilson was tied when he got rolled on a takedown attempt and he was pinned at 1:17. At 160, Nathan Clark missed on a three quarter nelson, losing a reverse and getting caught in a butcher at 3:24. At 170, Terry Page lost
five takedowns including one late in the third that cost him an 11-3 major decision loss. Up at 182, Caleb Mennen never got rolling, dropping a 9-1 major decision. Oregon finally got on the board at 195 when Stevens worked an outside single into a cradle in 25 seconds to make the score a 20-6 deficit. Anthony Marchetti trailed by three and used back pressure to escape in the third and picked up a stalling point, but came up one point short, 4-3. At heavyweight, Cole Burke found a throw and pinned with a headlock at 2:34.. The low weight forfeits followed and the Hawks trailed 41-12. Chase Clark added six when he hit a quick double leg takedown and dumped to the back in 21 seconds. At 132 Carlson lost three backpoints at the second period buzzer and a takedown in the third to drop a 10-0 major. Oregon forfeited 138 and Jake Mennen took a forfeit at 145 to end the meet.

Bowlers continue to win The Oregon Boy’s Bowling team won its second tournament of the season on Dec. 5 during the Oregon Hawk Invitational at Plum Hollow Family Center, Dixon. The Hawks finished the day 308 pins ahead of second place Rockford Christian 6,162-5,854, who was followed closely by Sycamore (5,847). This marks the first time in school history that an Oregon Boy’s team has won two Varsity tournaments in the same season. The day featured another all-time high five-person team game with an 1,192 third game (279, 161, 257, 227, 268). The tournament team standings started very close with Oregon in third place after the first game, 14 pins out of first place, but they took control in the third game and never looked back. Individually yet another milestone was achieved with the Hawks landing four bowlers in the top six in the field, three in the top 10 was the previous

high achievement. Top Oregon honors went to second place finisher Derek Poole with a 1,285 series, (203, 234, 268, 181, 234, 165). In three tournament appearances this season Poole has finished third, first and second. He was followed by third place finisher Joe Miranda 1,268 series (187, 198, 279, 244, 148, 212), fifth place finisher A.J. Nordman 1,254 series (236 ,201, 227, 235, 170, 185) and sixth place finisher Jacob Coleman 1,240 series (202, 209, 257, 189, 210, 173).
The Oregon Girl’s Bowling team finished in third place in their own Invitational at Plum Hollow Family Center. The Lady Hawks finished 116 pins behind Dixon and 220 pins behind tournament Champion Sycamore. Oregon was led by Individual Tournament Champion Alyson Scheidecker with a 1,286 series (213, 185, 201, 216, 245, 226). She was followed in eighth place by Abigail Scheidecker with a 1,105 series (195, 193, 172, 192, 135, 218).
Oregon has long road trip From B1 missed breakaway lay-up, he glided inside with the grace of a figure skater, scoring, grabbing rebounds (gamehigh 12) and drawing fouls. “We didn’t box Roby out, giving him second and third chances,” Virgil said. Holding a 41-24 lead early in the fourth quarter and after two straight blocks by Roby on Mitchell Nehrkorn drives to the lane, Dixon went into a stall. Carson Buck finally got Oregon’s first 3-pointer of the game late in the fourth
quarter, but it was a case of too little, too late. Buck tied Otten for Hawk game honors with seven points. Nehrkorn, who wasn’t the least bit intimidated by the athleticism of Dixon, scored six points on hard-earned baskets. In an odd statistic, the leading rebounder for the Hawks was point guard Jarrett Reynolds with nine boards. Oregon was hampered at the charity stripe, only making six of 11 free throw attempts. In the first half, Dixon got in foul trouble early, but Oregon wasn’t able
to capitalize on it. “A positive was that our 1-3-1 zone got them a couple times,” Virgil said. “Our goal was to hold them under 50 points and we did that.” Oregon makes the long road trip to Johnsburg on Friday, before beginning play in the Forreston Tournament from Dec. 12-18. In fact, the Hawks will not be home again until Jan. 7 against Winnebago, another BNC favorite. “Even though we lost, it was nice to play a good team right off the bat in conference,” Virgil said.
Sports Column Loss to Dixon’s Dukes should help Hawks By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Okay, it’s back on the horse for the Oregon boys basketball team. The schooling the Hawks received from Dixon Dec. 4 will certainly help them as the season progresses. Though Dixon dominated from start to finish, Oregon hung in there. They were outmatched by a more athletic team. What was learned from this game? The team’s biggest challenge this year will be with mental toughness and fortitude. Instead of stepping up to the challenge presented by Dixon, there was some apprehension on the part of Oregon. It’s apparent that the Hawks are physically gifted. If that mental component can find its way to the forefront, this is a team that will make a run in the post season. Whether it’s football or basketball, initial AP polls are always questionable. The fact that Byron and Newman received votes in 2A and Oregon did not, bear that out. Those rankings came out after Thanksgiving tournaments and Oregon handily defeated the Tigers and Newman finished fifth in the same event. Another surprise, even to coach Matt Messer, was Polo ranked No. 4 in Cass 1A. Polo has had good teams in recent years and has been ignored in early polling. Is the lofty ranking based more on the success of the football team and the fact the “Polo” brand name is making its way into the general public statewide. Perhaps, but also in a
state as large as Illinois, it is impossible to have reliable rankings this early in the year. Nonetheless, congratulations to the Marcos for some overdue recognition to a program going for its fourth straight 20-win season. In a loss to Dakota on Saturday, in which Polo was out-scored 29-9 in the fourth quarter, the absence of Brad Cavanaugh had to hurt. The 4-year varsity player and best athlete in the NUIC is still making his way back from a football injury. With all the talk about boys basketball, let’s not forget about the Forreston girls. Going into this week, the Lady Cardinals are off to a 6-1 record and have surpassed what coach Tim Bukoski expected this early in the season. The beauty of this team was best expressed at its own tourney with five different leading scorers for each game. Opponents are finding out they can’t key on just one player. Something else that stands out to Bukoski is all the hard work and commitment, both in the off-season and now. In my pre-season preview, I erroneously left a zero out and had each girl with 500 shots made in June. That number should have been 5,000. They have been putting in extra time in the mornings since August and continue to get 400-500 additional shots a week. In a little college news: Former career scoring leader for Oregon, Sam Lambrigtsen, has been making a splash in D-I ball for Loyola. Last months, the 5-foot-5 guard hit three free throws to force overtime against Eastern Illinois, a game Loyola ended up winning. Against Western Michigan, a 68-45 loss on Dec. 2, Lambrigtsen was the Lady Ramblers’ leading scorer.

While checking out A.J. Dollmeyer’s (Polo) status with Augustana, I noticed he is playing on a team ranked No. 1 in the country among D-3 schools. Leading Augie is Byron’s Hunter Hill, a pre-season first-team AllAmerican guard. Tim Smith, a member of one of my favorite Oregon football teams, the 2011 squad that almost took Aurora Christian down in the playoffs, was named Defensive MVP of the MidStates Football Association. In his junior year at St. Francis College in Joliet, the 6-3, 245-pound defensive end recorded 21 tackles for losses and 10 sacks, ranking fourth in the country among NAIA players. Northern Illinois University put out a list of its 50 greatest players of all time and among those honored were Jake Coffman of Forreston and Adam Dach of Byron. And while we’re at it, don’t forget about Adam Cox of Stillman Valley, like Coffman, a walk-on to the world of big-time college football. Cox will be headed to Pasadena with his Iowa teammates for the Rose Bowl. Recruited by no one, Cox ended up starting at fullback for the Hawkeyes in one of this area’s feel-good stories.

Police say “buckle up”, no matter where you sit With new survey results showing rear seat belt usage still lagging behind front seat occupants, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and Illinois State Police (ISP) are reminding the public that anyone who rides in a motor vehicle needs to buckle up, no matter where they are sitting.
Despite the addition of back seat passengers in the state’s mandatory seat belt law three years ago, a new IDOT survey shows that only 84.9 percent of back seat passengers in Illinois are wearing seat belts, an increase of just seven percentage points since 2013. A separate survey, taken earlier
this year, revealed usage by drivers and front seat passengers at an alltime high of 95.2 percent. “Vehicle miles and fatalities are up on Illinois roads in recent months. We urge more back seat passengers to follow the law and buckle up,” said IDOT Director of Traffic Safety Jared Thornley
in a press release. “Too many preventable injuries and fatalities continue to happen to passengers in the back seat. Increasing seat belt use means fewer deaths and serious injuries. It’s that simple.” In 2003, Illinois passed a primary seat belt law requiring drivers and front seat passengers to wear a seat
belt. In 2012, the law was expanded to require every passenger to wear seat belts, regardless of where they are seated in a vehicle. Enactment of the primary seat belt law has increased seat belt use for front seat occupants by 19 Turn to B5

IDOT, state police say buckle up wherever you sit From B4 percentage points, from 76.2 percent in 2003 to 95.2 percent in 2015. In addition, IDOT and ISP continue to raise awareness of the importance of buckling up through enforcement programs like “Click It or Ticket� and by continuously sharing seat belt safety messages via social media and public service announcements. “Drivers and front seat passengers understand the importance of buckling up, but it is equally important for those in the rear seat
to buckle up as well,� said Illinois State Police Col. Tad Williams. “The safety of everyone in a vehicle is dependent on all passengers wearing their seat belt. During a traffic crash, unbuckled passengers can be thrown around and cause injury to other occupants. “As a reminder, all vehicle passengers are required to wear a seat belt. It’s the law and it can help save your life or the life of another.� The September 2015 survey included samples from the City of Chicago, Cook County, upstate
Illinois counties (DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Winnebago) and downstate Illinois counties (Champaign, Bureau, Effingham, Rock Island, Madison, and St. Clair.) Additional statistics show downstate counties have the highest back seat belt use rate at 90.6 percent. Upstate counties studied in the survey have the next highest usage rate at 85.7 percent, followed by Cook County and Chicago with 81.8 percent and 69.9 percent, respectively.

Evelyn L. Whildin Evelyn Louise (Tatters) Whildin, 86, Byron, formerly of Hawaii, Washington DC, Miami, Plano, and Elburn areas died on Thursday, Nov. 26, 2015 at Heritage Woods Assisted Living Center surrounded by the love and prayers of her caring family. She was born on Nov. 28, 1928 in Honolulu, Hawaii (before it was an official state), the daughter of William and Evelyn (Stone) Tatters. Evelyn’s father was a career man with the U.S. Navy and stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and continued to reside there for five years before Bill’s duty to his country required him and his family to move to Washington DC, and later Miami, Florida, before they divorced. Evelyn, nicknamed Honey by her father, settled with her mother in Plano for her early grade school years. She attended school in Plano and graduated from Plano High School in 1946 where she was a member of the Plano Wildcat marching band, playing the French horn. Shortly after graduation, she met the love of her life, George Whildin, while both were enjoying a hobby they both shared, roller skating. This romance bloomed rather quickly and these two sweethearts made lifelong vows to one another on April 3, 1948 in Plano. They began their new life as husband and wife in Sugar Grove. George was farming with his father when Evelyn gave birth to their first two sons George III in 1949 and Mike in 1950. A few years later, they moved to Elburn where George and Evelyn were tenant farmers and running their own operation. While living in Elburn Evelyn gave birth to two daughters Wendy in 1953 and Debra in 1955. Shortly after Debra’s birth the family moved back to Sugar Grove in order to tend to a larger farm and take on greater responsibilities. It was there that the family was made complete when

Evelyn gave birth to their fifth child Andy in 1960. In March of 1963, the family moved again, this time to Burlington where George worked as a farmer and switched into a new career as a truck driver, while Evelyn took a job doing clerical work for Mercury Acceptance Corp., Sycamore. From this point, the family moved to a more permanent residence as they purchased their first family home in Maple Park. Here, George continued his career as a truck driver, and Evelyn began reading water meters in Maple Park. It was a job she thoroughly enjoyed for it gave her the opportunity to go house to house and socialize with her neighbors. They lived in Maple Park for 27 years before George retired in 1997. The couple then moved to their final home in Byron so George could fish the Rock River. Although it may not have been her destination of choice, it was important for Evelyn to support her husband (and his hobbies) in this venture. Evelyn was a member of American Legion Auxiliary in Elburn and Maple Park where she served as a past president. Evelyn and her family were members of Kaneville United Methodist Church, but also Burlington Methodist Church. She most recently attended The Red Brick Congregation Christian Church of Stillman Valley. One of the first things those who loved Evelyn would say was how incredibly she had honed her skills in the kitchen. She was such a great cook that she could even make liver and onions “tasty” enough for those who would normally eat just about anything but. One of everyone’s favorite dishes was her excellent German potato salad and for dessert, nobody could top her sour cream chocolate cake. Evelyn loved cooking and feeding her family so much that she often made more
than enough for everybody, even those who unexpected guests. She was very skilled with her knitting needles and made sweaters for all the adults of the family and especially enjoyed knitting sweaters and blankets for her various grandchildren and great grandchildren. She would go on occasional “over the road” trips with George and loved to bring her knitting needles along for the trip. Evelyn was an animal lover who had a place in her heart for small animals. Over the years, she had a number of family dogs, though in recent times, she was a “converted” cat lover, enjoying the company of her feline friends following George’s passing in 2007. She is survived by two sons, George Whildin III and Mike (Bonnie) Whildin; two daughters, Wendy (Don) Collins and Debra Holman; nine grandchildren, Don, Susan, Jaime Vermaat, Amy (Ken) Collins, Ron (Kerri) Collins, Becky (Tim) Landmeier, Jacob (Rebecca) Whildin, Thad (Sue) Whildin, Shane (Jenny) Whildin; 11 greatgrandchildren and a family of friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband of 58 years, George Whildin; and her youngest son, Andrew. Visitation will be held on Sunday, Dec. 13 from 12 to 1 p.m., with a memorial service to follow at 1 p.m. at Conley Funeral Home, 116 W. Pierce St., Elburn, IL 60119. Private family interment will take place at a later date at Sugar Grove Cemetery. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made directly to The Red Brick Congregation Christian Church of Stillman Valley, 217 W. Roosevelt St., Stillman Valley, IL 61084.
