Pat Donahue named Oregon Citizen of the Year Volunteer of the Year is Merlin Hagemann

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Oregon’s Citizen of the Year definitely was surprised when his name was called Aug. 18 at the annual Chamber of Commerce dinner.

“This is the last thing I expected,” Pat Donahue said after accepting his award from Debbie Dickson, chamber executive director.

“I came here for a good meal and a great view.”

The dinner was held at Maxson’s Restaurant,

situated along the Rock River across from the Black Hawk statue.

Dickson recounted Donahue’s numerous volunteer efforts over the years, including coaching youth sports and serving on the Village of Progress board and foundation board.

“In numerous quiet ways, this individual has worked steadily and calmly behind the scenes throughout our community offering savvy, sage and steady advice and encouragement to many – particularly our most valuable commodity – our youth,” Dickson said when she introduced Donahue, a senior vice president at Stillman Bank.

Oregon Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Debbie Pat Donahue makes his way to the podium after learning Donahue, like the other Dickson presents Merlin Hagemann with his award for he was chosen as Oregon’s 2016 Citizen of the Year.

VOP to provide sweet treats and jobs for disabled

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com For anyone with a sweet tooth, Oregon’s new bakery will soon be the place to go.

Village of Progress (VOP) officials sealed the deal on a downtown building Monday and hope to open a bakery, complete with a drive-through window, by Thanksgiving.

VOP Executive Director Brion Brooks said the Village Bakery at 101 N. Third St., the northeast corner of Third and Washington Streets, will sell cakes, pies, doughnuts and other sweet treats, a full line of coffees, and customordered ice cream.

The best part is that the new business will provide employment opportunities for developmentally disabled youth and adults in the community.

The idea for the bakery developed from a

conversation Brooks had a year ago with a job coach from the Ogle County Educational Cooperative (OCEC), which provides Special Education services for many area schools.

She voiced her frustration, he said, at the difficulty

at finding jobs in a rural community for older Special Education students.

“Few large corporate employers, a below-average income, and no convenient public transportation are big hurdles for job seekers with developmental disabilities,”

people from the community, not just from VOP or OCEC,” Brooks said. “It gives them experience, a resume, and references. It gives them a track record.”

Some will be permanent

Brooks said. “I thought it would be great if we could find employment opportunities in the community.”

The plan grew from there.

“The idea behind the bakery is to employ developmentally disabled

Alcohol will be allowed at the Oregon Depot after the city council approved an amendment to the lease agreement Tuesday night.

“The depot board requested this,” said Mayor Ken Williams. “This would amend the agreement to allow them to run the business.”

The new rules would exempt the depot from rules prohibiting alcohol on city property.

“I had discussions with Roger Cain but I have some concerns,” said commissioner Jim Barnes. “I would like to see hours like 5 to 9:30.”

He also wanted to see the depot board carry extra insurance during events to protect the city.

“I agree,” said commissioner Tom Izer. “If someone would be hit the city would be liable.”

Barnes also wanted to state in the agreement that alcohol must remain in the building unless the depot was fenced.

The board unanimously approved the new lease agreement with the three amendments.

Speaker: small homes are sustainable, affordable

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com Living in a tiny home is not a new idea, however it is the direction some people think needs to be reintroduced to homebuyers.

“Since the 1950s the average house size in the United States has increased steadily,” said Doug McWain, Dayton, Ohio. “The average Doug McWain, Dayton, Ohio, talks about the costs of the floor space is increasing, smallest tiny homes during his presentation during the however the family size is Illinois Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair lower.”

presenters during the annual Illinois Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair Saturday morning at the Ogle County Fairgrounds.

He said homes in the 1950s averaged 1,000 square feet and today homes are more than double that.

“We need to have sustainability and we need to reduce what we are using,” McWain said. “Do you need a McMansion or can you live in a small home?”

Some television shows are showcasing the micro homes that are under 500

square feet, but McWain said an energy efficient small or tiny house is anything under 1,000 square feet.

“You learn how to organize and be creative with smaller homes,” he said. “Do you really need all that space?”

Having a smaller house built on a foundation will cost the homeowner less initially than a larger home, and will also cost less over the life of the home than a larger home.

“Tiny houses do take less to build and less energy to live in,” he said.

The idea of living with what is needed was documented by author Henry David Thoreau, McWain said.

Thoreau wrote “On Walden Pond,” a poem that looks at simple living and the reasons Thoreau decided to try simple living.

McWain has been interested in sustainable energy efficient homes since the oil crisis in the 1970s.

He built his first home, an earth sheltered home in 1983.

From A1 part-time employees, while for others it will serve as a “job incubator,” he said.

The bakery also will employ a full-time baker and bakery manager.

“If there’s someone out there who has skills baking or managing a restaurant we would happy to hear from them,” Brooks said.

“Baking a Difference” is the theme of the project.

“We’re trying to make a difference in the lives of the employees. We’re trying to make a difference in the lives of the community,” he said.

Before opening the bakery, the building, which formerly housed Max Media and before that Basler’s Ace Hardware, will undergo a complete remodeling.

Removal of the flooring began Tuesday. After that the building will be gutted and redesigned inside, including new windows, heating and air-conditioning, plumbing, and electrical.

Once completed, the inside with have a seating area with tables and chairs, a smaller

spot with couches and a fireplace, and a separate room for birthday parties and groups of 20 or so people.

The drive-through will be on the north side of the building.

Anticipated hours are 6 a.m. to 4 a.m. Monday through Saturday.

Future plans include expanded evening hours on some week nights with coffee house music.

Brooks said VOP has been

working with the Byron Bank and realtors Bill Tallyn and Carla Benesh for the purchase of the building at a cost of $90,000.

Gutting and remodeling the building and then equipping the bakery will cost an estimated $300,000.

Donations of time and materials have already been offered.

“We really consider it an investment for the community,” he said.

Mayor’s Corner Seven things you need to know about our TIF

By Ken Williams Oregon Mayor As part of our 10-year comprehensive plan our fellow residents, through public meetings and a city wide survey, clearly set their preferences for our future.

That future included growth in the downtown and a vibrant, vital riverfront that included things for people to do and places to gather.

On Tuesday night (Aug. 9) the council unanimously approved the plan to review

the establishment of a Tax Incremental Financing district in our city.

TIF districts have proven their ability to attract and retain businesses in a city like ours and it represents a bold step forward to achieve these community goals.

This article covers the key questions regarding a TIF. It is the first one for our city. Polo, Mt Morris, Byron and Rochelle already have one.

Here are the seven things you need to know about our TIF. Is this a new or increase in taxes?

No, it is based on property taxes but having a TIF does

not change the rate or amount a property owner pays.

How does it work?

If a property is improved its value goes up, the assessment goes up and the property tax bill goes up.

This is true whether there is a TIF or not. In a TIF district that increased amount paid to the county collector is refunded to the TIF district.

Do you have an example?

Yes, suppose someone purchases a building in a TIF district that is vacant and in need of repair. Currently property taxes are paid on it to the county which then distributed to other taxing bodies like the schools, city

and library.

The new owner then totally rehabs the property inside and out. Since the building value goes up the taxes do as well. The new taxes are higher but difference between what was paid before and the increase due to the new value go to the TIF district.

What is the TIF money used for?

TIF money can be spent on incentives to attract new businesses and improvements within the TIF district.

What kind improvements?

Examples include

of a

Riverwalk and façade grants.

Where is the TIF district for Oregon planned?

The area under study for us includes the downtown, the riverfront and Settlers Ridge subdivision. There are other areas under review as well.

What is the process?

The full process will take about six months and include setting the boundaries of the district, meeting with all taxing bodies, present the plan at a public hearing and finalize the plan at city council.

Sharick worked at the Oregon Depot for 50 years 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 In 1818, 42 years after the Declaration of Independence, Illinois obtained statehood.

In 1836, 18 years after statehood, the City of Oregon was founded.

In 1871, 35 years after the City of Oregon was founded, the C and I Railroad entered Oregon.

The first 18 years of Oregon’s existence mobility was limited to walking, horseback, horse and buggy, and boating on the Rock River.

It is understandable why communities were eager to encourage railroads to pass through.

Many communities including Oregon voted to supply money to the railroads.

The railroad provided economic and mobility to Oregon and the surrounding community.

The railroad served Oregon 32 years before the first car passed through Oregon.

This was the era when most houses in Oregon had a horse barn.

The depot was the center of activity in each community.

Railway passenger service kept horse and buggy cabs busy.

Bob Etnyre stated that thanks to passenger service Oregon gained much stature as the desired travel hub for northern Illinois.

He recalled his trips home from college and from the service in World War II, “when we left Rochelle we were almost home and when the clicking of the wheels changed to a dull roar as we passed over the bridge then we were home.”

Incoming and outgoing freight kept the agents busy in the freight house.

They even received and shipped cattle from the Oregon Depot.

Yes, we even had a small stock yard, and it was said the agents hated this part of their job.

The depot was the communication center of Oregon.

Before telephones, mail was received and sent by rail.

Eventually mail was sorted in the mail car.

We have at the Oregon Depot a compartmental practice mail sorting box.

A mailperson practiced sorting mail in the sorting box before he sorted mail in the mail car.

He had to pass a time test before he could officially sort mail on the train.

Western Union messages were sent and received at the depot.

The station agent at the depot was a central player in our community.

We had three agents staffing the depot 24 hours a day.

Roy Sharick served the railroad for 60 years with 50 of these at the Oregon Depot.

It seemed Roy knew everyone and everyone knew him.

Everyone who wrote their memories of the depot mentioned Roy. Bob Etnyre mentioned we were always welcomed by the ticket master Roy Sharick.

“The story of the Oregon Depot is the story of Roy Sharick, and vice versa,” he wrote. “In fact I believe that Roy might have been born with train tickets in his hand. No nicer a man has ever lived and he loved to have kids in his station. As we disembarked from the train Roy was always there to greet us with a cheery smile and a big hello that said ‘yes: we were truly home’.”

Roy Sharick was what we call today a multi-tasker.

Above, Oregon Station Agent Roy Sharick and Harold Nance stand beside a “steamer.” Below, Sharick works at his desk at the depot. Photos courtesy of Otto Dick

He sold tickets, sold railroad insurance, received and sent Western Union messages, typed train orders received on the teletype, handed the train orders using a train order pole to the conductors as the trains passed, and checked each train that passed to see if any of the wheel gear boxes were heating up.

During the war if he received a Western Union death notification of one of our soldiers he would first send a messenger to the minister’s home advising him that he was sending notification to the soldier’s home so he could be there when the message arrived.

We have many stories related about the depot and Roy at the depot.

Next week’s article is titled pounding the brass at the Oregon Depot.

A live auction at RRC will feature a signed Addison Russell baseball bat, a signed Cubs Kris Bryant picture, and a White Socks, Coca Cola baseball mitt.

A Mt. Morris 7-year-old recently received an award for her courage.

a rare blood disorder that leaves its victims susceptible to high fevers, mouth sores, and infections.

It’s something she will have to deal with all her life.

She received this award on Aug. 12 at the Rock of Ages Dinner and Lip Sync Battle organized by the Ahman Green Foundation.

She was nominated by Brian Weavel of Anna’s Pizza in Winnebago who also received the William E. Lee Compassion Award in memory of William ‘Bill’ Lee, the brother of Ahman Green Foundation CEO Jeff Lee.

The William E. Lee Compassion Award is awarded to an individual or organization who have extraordinary care and support for those in need.

Emmalyn will be heading to New York City on Sept.

15 to prep for another brain surgery.

She and her family will need to stay in New York for a minimum of two weeks.

A benefit is being held on Sept. 10 to help the family with their medical costs and expenses during this surgery.

KCC holds acting auditions Nadine Franklin, Theatre instructor and resident director at Kishwaukee College, has announced audition dates for the College’s fall production of Love Letters by A. R. Gurney.

Auditions will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 14, and Thursday, Sept. 15 at 6:30 p.m. in the Kishwaukee College Theatre (B1205).

Copies of the script are on reserve at the Kishwaukee College Library. Franklin requires anyone interested in auditioning to read the script prior to auditioning.

The Kishwaukee College

production of Love Letters will be staged Wednesday through Saturday, November 9 - 12 in the Kishwaukee College Theatre with a curtain time of 7:30 p.m.

Love Letters revolves around a 50-year relationship between Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III told exclusively by letters written to each other, beginning in childhood.

The play’s seeming simplicity belies the power and emotion it conveys as Melissa and Andrew move forward through their lives, as the impact each age and experience has on the

evolution of their relationship is revealed.

Love Letters was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 1990.

A.R. Gurney is one of the most produced playwrights in the U.S. and is best known for works that examine the American middle class.

He has received the Drama Desk Award, Rockefeller Award, and two Lucille Lortel Awards for his works.

For more information on the auditions or the play at Kishwaukee College, contact Nadine Franklin at 815-8259374 or at nadine.franklin@ kishwaukeecollege.edu.

Volunteers are needed on foot or in boats to clean up a seven-mile section of the Rock River, from the boat landing on Ill. 2 to Castle Rock State Park boat landing, in this annual effort to protect and preserve this beautiful local resource.

Boaters, paddlers, river land owners, scout groups, service organizations and individuals are needed to help pick up trash as well as sort the recyclable items from the trash.

Students can earn community service hours by helping out.

Those with motorized boats can then proceed to the boat landings to cover their section. Those on foot will walk or drive to areas accessible from shore.

Several drop-off sites for trash will be located along the cleanup route, where crews from the Oregon Park District, Ogle County Highway Department and the Solid Waste Management Department will pick it up and take it back to Kiwanis Park for sorting and recycling.

Refreshments will be available afterward.

Gloves, safety vests, trash bags, bug spray, snacks and water will be available, as well as a limited number of T-shirts for sale or for free.

Participants are encouraged to wear long sleeves, long pants, and old shoes, and to bring a

reusable water bottle to the event to reduce waste.

The Rock River Sweep is an effort by many groups up and down the Rock River, from Horicon, Wisconsin, to where it meets the Mississippi River, to clean up sections of the river.

It is sponsored by RockRiverSweep.org, a grass roots, non-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving the health and ecosystem of the Rock River and its tributaries.

Other sponsors include the Rock River Trail Initiative and the Rock River Times.

Locally, the Oregon Area Rock River Sweep is also sponsored by the Ogle County Solid Waste Management, Highway and Sheriff ’s Departments, the Oregon Park District, Oregon Together, White Pelican Canoe & Kayak Rental, and American Rivers National River Cleanup.

Public Voice Thank you for Fair tickets

Dear Editor, Special thank you to Harlan Holm and the entire Ogle County Fair Board for donating fair tickets to the Village of Progress.

It is sometime difficult for the men and women at the Village to find activities that they are comfortable attending, as well as being local and affordable.

The cost of an event along with transportation are large obstacles that people with intellectual disabilities face.

The free tickets took away some of those obstacles and provided an opportunity for people from the Village to enjoy the fair.

When I spoke to those who attended, their faces lit up!

Thanks again to Harlan Holm and the Ogle County Fair Board for giving the men and women from the Village the opportunity to attend the fair.

Brion Brooks Executive Director

The Village of Progress, Inc.

Thanks from Hometown Days

Dear Editor, Thank you to the people of Forreston and the surrounding communities for helping make Hometown Days a success.

Despite the terribly warm weather, the events were well attended – from the 5K on Friday to the Community Breakfast on Sunday.

A weekend like this doesn’t just happen without a lot of work behind the scenes.

The Hometown Committee is back at work, making plans for July 21-23, 2017.

If you have ideas and would like to join us, the committee meets on the second Tuesday of the month at Green’s Motors at 6 p.m.

Thanks for your support!

Days Committee

Students competed in Forreston Games

Dear Editor, On July 26, 27, and 29 Forreston held its seventh annual Forreston Games as a way to celebrate the end of summer conditioning and to compete in an enthusiastic, encouraging environment.

Over 60 boys and girls competed in five events over the course of three days.

They competed at a very high level, and many students achieved personal bests as they competed for the top three spots for boys and girls.

Athletes were required to do pull-ups, jumps, presses, olympic movements, and much more throughout the events.

They competed against each other as individuals, but together they pushed each other farther than any

individual would have done alone.

By the last event, all the kids were inside the weight room watching each other battle till the end.

Our Forreston athletes have trained at an incredible level throughout the summer and they put their hard work on display over the course of this event.

The winners for the boys were third place AJ Christensen, second place Tyler Bryant, and first place Gavin Fuchs.

For the girls, third place went to Emma Nelson,

second place Amanda Anderson, and first place Keileigh Kloepping.

The coaches also voted for a Spirit of the Games award that was given out to one of the athletes.

This award was given to the athlete who stood out the most by displaying heart in their own events but also how they cheered their fellow competitors on to achieve their best.

The winner for this year was Brayden Walton.

A special thank you is needed for the areas businesses who provided

monetary donations, prizes, and gift cards.

Our local communities should be very proud of our young athletes, and as a coaching staff, we look forward to seeing this effort on the various playing surfaces during the school year.

Also, a thank you to the coaches and volunteers that help judge and run the event.

Sincerely, Denny Diduch Forreston High School Varsity Football Coach

Martin & Co. chosen as 2016 Business of the Year From A1 award winners, turned the spotlight off himself and onto the community.

“This is tremendous community with so much to offer. What makes Oregon special is you guys,” he told the audience.

Jerry Martin echoed Donahue’s sentiments about Oregon when his family’s business Martin & Company Excavating was named Business of the Year.

“It’s a very nice community. Our employees and the community of Oregon — that’s what brings it all together,” Martin said in accepting the award with his brother Wes. In business since 1987, Dickson said the company has contributed to numerous community projects over the

years.

“Never looking for recognition, awards or accolades, this company, its owners, employees, and their families have dug into our community and built a solid foundation not only for themselves as a business, but also for and in support of the folks where they live, work and play,” she said in her introduction.

Volunteer of the Year Merlin Hagemann made it unanimous.

“I love Oregon,” he said when he accepted his award.

He gave credit to the many other people who volunteer their time and talent to the community.

Hagemann is no stranger to Chamber honors.

His business Merlin’s Greenhouse & Flowers has

been named Business of the Year twice, first in 2001 and again in 2011.

Dickson called Hagemann “well beyond deserving” for his years of volunteer service, donated goods, and sharing ideas and creativity.

Dickson herself was also recognized for her contributions to the

community when chamber president Carri Anderson presented her with the firstever Executive Director of the Decade Award.

Oregon High School will host a ribbon cutting and open house on Saturday, Aug. 27 at 10 a.m. to officially unveil a new greenhouse that runs solely using energy from the earth.

The off-the-grid greenhouse, behind the bus garage, will be used to educate students on how green energy can be harnessed to grow and sustain plant life as global population increases and resources become more scarce.

OHS ag teacher Josh Nelson will be available during the event to answer questions.

KC Tootsie Roll Drive Sept. 9-10 The 47th annual Knights of Columbus Tootsie Roll drive in Oregon and Mt. Morris will be held Friday, Sept. 9 and Saturday, Sept. 10.

Last year $5,400 was raised by the members of Oregon Council 1092 with help from their families and

friends.

“We also had support from nine area businesses that helped with the purchase of candy,” said Dave Starke, Tootsie Roll Drive Chairman.

The funds that were raised help to support the Knights of Columbus programs in

Illinois, such as Special Olympics.

Local organizations that also received more than $1,500 apiece were Village of Progress, Oregon School District Special Education, and Stouffer Terrace.

Tiny homes are affordable From A1 “That home has 800 feet of living space and was built with 85 percent recycled materials,” he said.

Using recycled materials from offices that are remodeling, homes that are being torn down, and ding and dent materials can save costs for homeowners.

It also has an added benefit of keeping the materials out of a landfill, McWain said.

“I look for places that are being demolished and ask permission to reclaim the materials,” he said.

“You can find good prices

on construction materials on online auction sites and Craigslist.”

McWain showed a variety of examples of how people repurposed existing structures as homes. They included busses, vans and box trucks, train cabooses and Pullman cars, homes built using pallets and recycled windows.

“I love this kind of stuff,” McWain said. “Look around and you can find materials for a home. The sky is the limit, use your creativity.”

In addition to building a home on a foundation, there

has been a trend in building a small home on a trailer frame.

This makes the home portable and allows for more creativity than existing RV trailers on the market.

“Trailers are not designed for year-round living,” said McWain. “If you build your own you can have an attractive home with yearround living comfort.”

Freedom Lutheran, Oregon United Methodist Church, and St. Paul Lutheran.

The children, led by staff from Lutheran Outdoor Ministries Center, rotated through opening worship, crafts, Bible stories, games, snacks and closing worship each day.

Children started and ended their day at First Presbyterian but played games at St. Paul Lutheran and enjoyed snacks at Oregon United Methodist.

An offering was collected each day and will be donated to Oregon Elementary School for the Students Assistance fund.

Financial and other donations from several area businesses and individuals made it possible to offer VBS to 75 children at no cost their families. The Oregon United Methodist WNA underwrote the cost of the potato bar fundraiser and the hot dog lunch on the last day of VBS.

Team chemistry to be key for OHS soccer team Seger Larson is new coach for varsity Hawks

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com For the fourth time since 2011, the Oregon soccer program will be under new leadership.

Seger Larson, whose previous coaching experience was in AYSO youth and junior high, will begin his high school career as the varsity coach at Oregon.

That scenario doesn’t intimidate the Shabbona resident.

“I feel confident with my knowledge of the game and building a rapport with the players,” Larson said.

Larson played soccer for Indian Creek high school and Kishwaukee College.

He has a degree in physical education from NIU and currently is in charge of the grounds at the Shabbona golf course, as he studied horticulture at Kish.

Besides being new to the varsity coaching ranks, Larson has the unenviable task of replacing one of the best graduating classes of soccer players in school history.

The Hawks (21-4) won their first-ever regional title and nearly advanced downstate in 2015 with a stellar group of seniors.

“I know they lost a lot from last year and we probably don’t have the same speed,” Larson said. “But, we have a lot of team chemistry.”

One of the team leaders is senior Alex Sitze. His brother Joshua, a freshman, also joins him on the team.

“Joshua has the skill level and knowledge to be on the varsity,” Larson said. “Alex will be one of our captains.

He’s vocal and always makes an effort, never giving up.

He’s very coachable.”

Returning at goalkeeper is Jaspreet Gill.

“He’s part of a good junior class,” Larson said. “He has good reaction time and hands. Another attribute is his leadership.”

Other juniors that will be counted on are forward Eduardo Guzman, midfielder Nick Zalzalah, and defender Kyle Cermak.

A key returner on defense is the rangy Kaden Humphrey, a master at outof-bounds passing.

“We’ll be tall defensively,” Larson said.

Berto Dominguez moved in from Polo and will be help out. Another addition to the varsity is sophomore Jonathan Acosta.

“What I want is communication from everyone and keep it to simple stuff, nothing fancy,” Larson said. “My style of play is to make quick passes off the ball, instead of one person playing it.”

On Aug. 26-27, Oregon will be hosting its Hawk Classic Invitational at Park West.

It will be an early test to for Larson to see where his young team is.

“I’m looking forward to the season and excited to be Oregon’s coach,” Larson said.

Volleyball team will be tested early with schedule Second game is against Keith Country Day

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com In Faith Watson’s three years as Oregon volleyball coach, the team has averaged nearly 30 wins a season and won two regionals.

Impressive stuff, but Watson has more in mind for the program.

She wants the team to continue its growth track and make a longer run in the post season. To that end, she requested athletic director Mike Lawton to find high quality non-conference opponents.

With the newly aligned BNC, Lawton has more flexibility in scheduling for all sports and per Watson’s request; the Lady Hawks open up with former 1A state champs Eastland (Aug. 23) and Keith Country Day (Aug. 25).

“We were also hoping to get Lena-Winslow,” said Watson of the team that beat Keith in the 2015 sectional.

With the front-loaded schedule, Oregon will find out where they stand early in the year. The Keith game is the home opener and a rematch of the regional final thriller from last year, also at

Blackhawk Center.

Of the 11-player roster, there are six returners.

Senior Haylie Rorbeck is a setter and is also noted for her serving and court leadership.

A senior defensive specialist is Emily Perkins.

“She plays with high energy,” Watson said.

Two other seniors that saw playing time last year are Taylor Egan and Allyse Ketter.

“Taylor’s reliable and versatile, playing utility for us. Allyse will play in the middle and brings blocking a team focus.”

Junior Gylian Finch, who spent much of the summer traveling all over the country playing club volleyball, begins her third year on the varsity.

“She brings volleyball knowledge and a sense of humor,” Watson said.

Bailey Nelson made a splash as a freshman and will line up on the right side.

“She brings special perspective to the team,” Watson said.

Others who made the cuts for varsity are Jasmine Herbst, Bianca Ruchti, Aleah Wight, Meredith Gelander, and newcomer Allie Weber.

“This is a high energy team,” Watson said. “It comes with different types of experience – softball players and club volleyball, for example.”

With six returners from a top-flight team, the Lady Hawks may have an upper hand over many of their opponents.

“Our strength is the experience we have and being able to use it in games,”

Watson said. “Our hope is to fine tune our skills and put it all together.”

Watson is reserved in speaking of specific goals for her team. Rather she looks for improvement and is not necessarily concerned

about wins and losses in the regular season.

“I’m hoping each game we get better,” she said.

“The thing we’ll focus on is being a team instead of individuals.”

After the game against

Keith, the next time Oregon is at home is the annual invitational on Sept. 2-3.

One event Watson wants to showcase is Volleyball for a Cure on Oct. 4, when the Lady Hawks host Rockford Christian.

Hawk cross country teams looking to break streak

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com It’s been five years since the Hawk boys cross country team advanced out of the regional and four years for the girls.

Additionally, there hasn’t

even been an individual from Oregon make it to the sectional since 2013.

Will that streak be broken this fall?

“I’m really excited about the boys’ chances,” Hawk cross country coach Tim Gipper said.

With Ian Hussung

returning for his junior year, it is highly likely that Oregon will get at least one runner out of the regional.

Last year, Hussung was ill at the regional, as the Hawks finished10th out of 11 teams.

“I think he can even make it to state as an individual,” Gipper said.

After a breakout campaign as an 800 and 1,600 runner in track, Hussung is poised to continue his success. He advanced downstate in track and nearly made the finals in the 800.

“He loves to run and the kids look up to him,” Gipper said. “He’s very positive and

his eyes light up when he goes out to run.”

He has a decent supporting cast in ironman runner Jordan Wilkins, senior Zack Hawkins, and three Bowers brothers, Ricky, Michael and Kenny.

“Jordan is our ultra long distance runner and is always

to looking to improve,” Gipper said. “Zack was our No. 2 runner last year and we’re looking for a lot out of him. Maybe all the swimming he does will help.”

Gipper feels she could advance out of the regional. “Mayra’s worked hard in the summer and her goal is to get to the sectional,� he said. “She ran with Ian and Jordan and was able to keep up.�

Addison Kitzmiller returns for her junior year and ran either No. 3 or 4 last year.

Gipper is pleased to have 12 girls out, an improvement over the last couple years. “We have a bunch of new girls,� the third-year coach said. “We’re hoping to develop the group and get into the middle of the conference.�

Sports Column Usain Bolt renews faith in Olympics

By Andy Colbert acolbert@ogleccounty news.com A couple weeks ago, I shared a few thoughts on the Olympics and how they may eventually become unsustainable.

After watching a myriad of competition, both streaming and on TV for hours on end (a benefit of being retired), my faith in the Olympic spirit was reborn.

Not that it had left me.

I’ve always felt it to be the finest sporting spectacle in the world, surpassing Super Bowls, World Cup soccer and even a Cubs game.

The sportsmanship exhibited among athletes transcended nation, religion, race and even politics.

Where else can you find medalists from warring nations embrace one another in the flags of their country?

As I simultaneously flipped channels last Friday afternoon watching synchronized swimming and free-style wrestling, radical diversity was on stage choreographed artistry versus macho grappling - and both won out in my book.

That’s how it was for the entire two weeks of competition, with viewers treated to a smorgasbord of events seldom seen outside of every four years.

Who was the MVP of the Olympics – Usain Bolt of Jamaica or Michael Phelps of the United States? The fact that both took center stage over the professional sports world, if only was a short time frame, tells me both were.

But, if I had to pick one, it would be Bolt because of the pool of competitors worldwide in track compared to swimming. Competitive track and field, especially sprinting, has one of the highest participation rates of any sport, from high school on up.

Swimming is considerably smaller in scope when comparing actual (not casual) competitors. Thus, Phelps is not subject to the same gauntlet that Bolt has encountered.

One more thing about Bolt. As a reporter was interviewing him after one of his races, the national anthem for the United States began to be played for one of our gold medalists.

Rather than be absorbed with his own greatness and continue the interview, Bolt told the reporter she had to stop with the questions until the anthem was over. He then turned to the American flag and showed respect to our country.

Though Bolt will go down as the greatest sprinter to have lived, what he did in winning three gold medals was specifically not the best performance on the track at Rio. That honor goes to unheralded South African 400-meter runner, Wayde van Niekerk, who smashed the world record in that

Whether it was unfounded fears about bad water, Zika or crime, stars like Jordan Speth and Rory McIlroy stayed home. The golfers that went had a glorious time and those they stayed home may have regretted listening to their agents or fear-driven tripe from the media.

Rio was very sensitive about how they were portrayed by the media and went as far as exposing Ryan Lochte and his cronies as liars. For all the good sportsmanship exhibited by the vast majority of the athletes, what Lochte did was a shame.

Add goalkeeper Hope Solo to the short list of athletes that gave our country a black eye with her whining about Sweden beating the U.S. in soccer.

The behavior of those two are akin to what we hear on a daily basis about our socalled professional sports heroes.

Give me an Olympic hero like Usain Bolt any day. And, please give me many more Olympics to come.

event.

And, his grandmother coaches him. Every four years, we hear stories like this, something never seen in the professional ranks.

Last fall, this column wrote about Evan Jager from Algonquin. Jager was a steeplechase runner poised to take down the mighty Kenyans at the track and field world championships in September.

That did not work out, but Jager rebounded to win silver

at the Olympics. He beat all the eastern African runners except one and to him that was like winning a gold.

On a side note, a few local fans remember Jager from the Lisle Invitational that Oregon’s boys track team has always competed in.

In Jager’s senior year at the Lisle meet, a little known sophomore from Oregon named Jordan Thomas made a name for himself, winning the 100, 200 and 400 and sharing star billing with Jager for a day.

Here something else the Olympics can do to a viewer like myself. The overtime gold-medal match won by Brazil over Germany in soccer was more exciting to me than watching any of the American Olympic basketball games.

Maybe there is still hope for reluctant soccer fans like myself.

Golf was an event for the first time in about 100 years at the Olympics. Leading up to it, much of the talk was about who was not going on and why.

By Alek, Kelly, and Olivia Stranberg Soaring Eagle 4-H Club members On June 20, the Leaf River Soaring Eagles 4-H Club explored the wonderful Anderson Japanese Gardens in Rockford. As a club we have been studying the

country of Japan so we decided to visit these Japanese gardens to learn more about the culture of Japan.

Every Japanese garden includes three elements: water, plants and rocks.

Anderson Japanese Gardens are one of two best Japanese gardens in America.

Following our time in the gardens, we ate at Shogun, a Japanese restaurant.

The chef cooked our food right in front of us on a big grill. He did some funny tricks and entertained us. Our group has learned more about Japan and appreciates their unique culture.

While volunteering to serve at a dinner at the Methodist Church in Dixon, she met a young local man, Russell Brown, who was also serving that evening.

Mildred and Russell married on June 8, 1947.

They moved to Polo in 1948, where they owned and operated the Polo Furniture Store and BrownSeidel Funeral Home with partners, Don and Irma Seidel.

Mildred attended the Unitarian Universalist Society of Vineyard Haven, and she went faithfully to Martha’s Vineyard Center for Living four days a week for the last six and one-half years — a huge thank you to Leslie Clapp, Executive Director, Eileen Murphy, Program Supervisor, to Susan Habekost, Program Activities Coordinator, and to the staff for making Mildred part of their family.

Strive to be progressive, not aggressive.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2016 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Refrain from showing your feelings. An argument will not help you solve any of your problems. Listen and learn before taking action in order to avoid backlash. Focus on love and personal improvement.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Stand on guard. There is a lesson to be learned, but if you proceed with caution, it won’t cost you financially or emotionally. Protect your property and move on.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- No one will take care of your business the same way you will. You’ll be led astray by someone trying to take advantage of you.

Emotionally inspired spending is discouraged.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t wait for someone to take the reins. Ask questions and make choices and decisions based on what works for you. Don’t give in to others’ demands. Recognize emotional deceit when you see it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Emotional manipulation is apparent in the workplace.

Don’t trust anyone to give you the lowdown when it comes to business; find out for yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Improve your surroundings and make adjustments that will deter complaints or criticism.

Partnerships will be taxing.

Take a moment to rethink and revamp your strategy.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be careful when in tense or tempting situations. An honest and open approach to life and relationships will be necessary.

Be reasonable and realistic.

Make your expectations clear.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Stabilize your financial situation by locking in your investments and protecting your assets and possessions.

Now is not the time to share.

Look out for your own interests.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Trust what you know, not what others tell you. Refuse to let emotional blackmail deter you from doing what’s best for you. Learn from your experience and make progress by being smart and working hard.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Strong emotions will cause you to do things you normally wouldn’t do. Take precautions and force yourself to think before you make a regrettable mistake. Deception and disillusionment are apparent.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone will withhold information. If something isn’t clear, you are best off biding your time until you can figure out exactly what’s taking place. Be safe and avoid a costly mistake.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Take charge and get things done.

Empty promises will set you back and cost you time and money. Take charge and bring about the changes you deem necessary. ©2016 UFS
