Tour Ogle at bicycle ride Registrations are available now for Sept. 24 ride

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecountynews.com Bicycling has been increasing in popularity throughout Ogle County and the upcoming Tour of Scenic Ogle County (TOSOC) will showcase the area while benefitting the Village of Progress.

“We are excited about this ride,” said Village of Progress Executive Director Brion Brooks. “We have close to 100 riders registered so far and would like to se 250 by the day of the event.”

The Tour of Scenic Ogle County, called TOSOC on all event brochures and bison signs scattered around Oregon, will be held on Saturday, Sept. 24.

The bison riding a bicycle, seen on the signs, was created as the mascot for the ride because two of the rides

The 32 mile TOSOC route will follow the Bike Ogle Nachusa-Bison John Deere Loop.

will go past Nachusa Grasslands and the bison herd there.

“The reason for this ride is to be a nice fundraiser for our attendance grant program,” said Brooks. “The grant helps provide funding to those with disabilities who are on the state waiting list.”

Brooks said currently 27,000 people are on that waiting list and the grant program helps local people who are on the list.

Riders have the choice to sign up for a 10-mile family run ride, a 32-mile route, or a 62 mile (metric century) route.

All rides leave from the Village of Progress.

Each ride costs $30 for adults and $8 for children 12 and under.

Adults must accompany riders under the age of 18.

Registration includes a barbecue lunch, ride refreshments including baked goods and fresh fruit.

Rest stops are scheduled throughout the ride.

“The ride came about at the same time Bike Ogle was being created,” said Brooks. “We are helping

promote each other. We are working to showcase the beautiful scenery in Ogle County.”

Organizers for the event decided to have the 32 mile route follow the Bike Ogle County Nachusa-Bison John Deere Loop.

“I have ridden the route,” said Scott Stephens, a co-creator of BikeOgle. org. “It has some of the prettiest views of the county and is as good as any ride I have done in the country.”

Stephens along with fellow bike enthusiast Terry Schuster worked for the past 18 months to create official bike routes that start and end in Oregon. The two also have been helping to plan the TOSOC ride.

“The Nachusa-Bison loop is one of our first route and is becoming popular,” said Stephens.

This route has riders on leaves from the 1913 Oregon Depot and goes across the Rock River before heading south to Lowden-Miller State Forest.

Riders can park their bikes and explore the park before heading further south to the 2,200 acre Nachusa Grasslands. A herd of bison can be Turn to A2

A possible change in the size of the Ogle County 911 Emergency Telephone System Board (ETSB) has raised the concerns of fire department officials across the county.

The concern apparently stems from a suggestion made by county board chairman Kim Gouker to reduce the number of board members from nine to five, possibly eliminating the posts currently held by fire department and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) representatives.

That concern was further bolstered in July when the county board approved applicants to fill two of four open positions on the 911 Board, but did not consider the other two, who were for the fire department/EMS posts.

The fire chiefs of all 11 Ogle County fire departments signed a letter dated July 26 and addressed to Gouker and the county board.

The letter was not part of the county board’s packet at its Aug. 16 meeting but was presented to each board member prior to the meeting.

The letter read in part, “In May the count board posted requests for applications to the 911 ETSB. The four

open positions were two fire/EMS, the citizen at large, and the sheriff’s office representative. Applications were submitted in a timely fashion for all four positions. Only the citizen at large and the sheriff’s office representative were presented to the board for appointment.

It appears that if a resolution to reduce the size of the ETSB comes about, all the Richard Mott reductions will come from the fire/EMS positions on the ETSB.” The letter went on to recommend that the 911 Kim Gouker ETSB remain at nine members and that the county board reappoints Richard Mott, Lindenwood, and Corey Tveit, Stillman Valley, the only two applicants for the fire/EMS positions.

Gouker declined to comment Sept. 3 on the situation, except to say that further discussions will be held.

However, at the Aug. 16 county board meeting, Gouker said that the concerns stem from a discussion he had with Sheriff Brian VanVickle a year ago.

Changing the size of the 911 ETSB takes the approval of the county board.

Popular restaurant to reopens after tornado

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Seventeen months after it was destroyed by a tornado, a well-known Ogle County restaurant is ready to re-open this week in a brand new building.

Ava Mirtoska, owner of Grubsteakers, on the northeast corner of Ill. 64 and 251, said Monday that she expects to be back in business bright and early Wednesday morning for the breakfast crowd.

“I am so excited. I can’t wait,” she said Monday, in between running last-minute errands. “I’m happy to be back where I belong.”

Hours on opening day will be 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Grubsteakers was in the direct path of the EF4 tornado last April 9 that tore through Lee, Ogle, and DeKalb Counties.

Mirtoska was recognized by the Ogle County Board

two weeks after the storm for her actions that night when she saw the storm approaching and, with just minutes to spare, ushered her customers and employees into a storm cellar.

About a dozen people rode out the storm safely with only minor scrapes and were rescued from the cellar a couple of hours later by firefighters.

After months of planning and getting the necessary permits, construction began on the new restaurant last December.

The community pitched in with several fundraisers were held to help with rebuilding costs.

The new restaurant’s floor plan resembles the one its customers grew to love, along with expanded seatiing areas, bar area, and larger bathrooms.

The April 9 tornado first touched down in Lee County west of Ashton about supper time, and then cut a

In This Week’s Edition...

northeasterly path through Ogle County to the small DeKalb County village of Fairdale where two women were killed and most of the homes were devastated.

The restaurant, several vehicles in its parking lot, and several nearby homes were smashed by the twister before it moved on toward Fairdale, destroying farm buildings and homes along the way.

The National Weather Service (NWS) determined the wedge-shaped tornado was a half-mile wide at times and was on the ground an estimated 39 miles after moving into Boone and McHenry Counties.

Aerial surveys done the morning after the twister showed that Grubsteakers was one of approximately 180 structures damaged or destroyed by the storms.

At least 30 homes were destroyed in Ogle County, Grubsteakers owner, Ava Mirtoska, stands in the middle of one of the restaurant’s most of them in a rural new dining areas. The restaurant is slated to open to the public on Sept. 7. Photo by subdivision west of Rochelle. Earleen Hinton

Lindsey appointed to judgeship An Oregon attorney is taking over a 15th Judicial Circuit associate judgeship being vacated Sept 30.

Clayton L. Lindsey, 56, Byron, a partner with Rockford-based Williams McCarthy LLP, will replace retiring Ogle County Associate Judge Kathleen Kauffmann.

The 15th Circuit serves

Ogle, Lee, Carroll, Stephenson, and Jo Daviess counties.

Lindsey, one of nine applicants for the post, was chosen by a vote of all of the circuit judges.

He practices out of Williams McCarthy’s Oregon office, has been Byron’s city attorney since 2000, and is a past president of the Byron

Chamber of Commerce.

He received his undergraduate degree in 1981 from Illinois State University in Normal and his juris doctor degree in 1984 from The John Marshall Law School in Chicago, Michael J. Tardy, director of the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts, said in a news release last week.

Parking on lawns to be discussed by council The Oregon City Council had the first reading of an ordinance that would prohibit parking on lawns.

The purpose of the ordinance is to keep vehicles on improved surfaces which include concrete, asphalt, and gravel driveways.

Commissioner Kurt Wilson said the purpose of bringing the ordinance to the table Aug. 23 was so the council had time to review the ordinance and bring up any issues that might need to be discussed.

The council will discuss and possibly

vote on the parking ordinance during the Tuesday, Sept. 13 meeting.

The Oregon City Council meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 5:30 p.m.

Meetings are held at City Hall, located on N. Third Street.

The ride continues along the rolling hills in farmland before crossing the river at Grand Detour at the John Deere Historic Site.

The route leaves on Ridge Road and returns to Oregon on Oregon Trail Road and through Oregon Park West.

For the TOSOC ride, the route will be reversed and leaves from the Village of Progress.

The 62-mile route will include most of the Nachusa-

the ride.

Contact tosoc@ villageofprogress.org for additional information of a mail in registration form.

Registration information is available online at www. active.com and then search for TOSOC. The maps for each of the TOSOC rides are available online by visiting ridewithgps.com/find and searching for TOSOC. There is also a Facebook page for TOSOC bike ride.

Nine bike routes that travel through Ogle County are available by visiting www. bikeogle.org.

Each route was created with the help of the Ogle County GIS Partnership.

They all start and end at the Oregon Depot at Collins and Fourth Street.

The Oregon Depot was selected as the start of the routes. A new viewing platform is under construction and a bike tool station will be installed once the platform is completed.

This will allow bicyclists the opportunity to inflate tires and make adjustments on the bikes before setting off on the 20 to 40-mile routes that were created.

Draftees boarded train at Oregon to serve country 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 With Oregon being the Ogle County Seat many of our drafted young men boarded a train at the Oregon Depot to serve their country. Â The United States has been involved in 10 major wars. Many Americans have died in U.S. wars. Â The PBS Newshour listed the total number of Americans killed in all U.S. wars as more than 1.1 million.

While driving through Rockford imagine the number of casualties are seven times the population of Rockford.

Statics about U.S. soldiers for each war usually list the number in active duty, combat casualties, disease and accident casualties, and the wounded.

S o m e sources also list an estimate of civilian casualties.

The length of American involvement in these wars varied from the 15-year war in Vietnam to the one year Spanish American War in 1898.

The deadliest battle in U.S. history occurred during World War I. Â The Battle of Argonne Forest resulted in more than 26,000 deaths. Â The deadliest battle of the Civil War occurred at the Battle of Gettsyburg, resulting in more than 7,000 deaths of Union and Confederate Soldiers.

Twelve percent of our population served during World War II. T o d a y , out of a nation of 320 million people, 1.3 million Americans are in active military duty. This is less than one percent of our population.

Our founder John Phelps fought in the battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812.  This war fought from 18121815 is called the Second War of Independence. It’s surprising that we have three Revolutionary War soldiers buried in Ogle County.  They are Daniel Day at the Daysville Cemetery, Ruful Phelps at the Lindenwood Cemetery, and Rufus Perkins at the Buffalo Grove Cemetery near Polo. In Ogle County we have numerous memorials including the memorial on the courthouse lawn by Lorado Taft.  At the Oregon Depot one room is dedicated to our servicemen.  The Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marine, and Navy flags are displayed.  We plan on adding the POW flag. What a horrible experience to be drafted to serve our country and end up in a POW Camp.

Bonnie Hendrickson has spent a lot of time and effort recording the men and women from Ogle County who have served in our 10 major wars. Â She has searched several sources including newspapers and several archives. Â Three-ring notebooks list veterans from each war. If the name of a veteran is not in our records let us know. Â In the same section we have a War Records of Mt. Morris by Harvey Kable and Hometown Heroes of the Forrestville Valley Area by Kathy Pasch.

Our visitors enjoy several photos of World War II Veterans and several displays. Â My favorite display is Armistice Day. Our students did a wonderful job of providing floats for the World War I Armistice Day Parade in Oregon. Â My favorite one was

the junior class which consisted of a live goat with a sign saying “We’ve got the Kaiser’s Goat.�  Remember Memorial Day because more than 1.1 million men and women

lost their lives serving their country. Â Memorial Day is a day to remember our veterans who served our country, not a day of celebration.

Autumn on the Vine at Depot Oct. 1 glass will also be included with advance sale tickets.

Additional tasting tickets can be purchased at the event for $1 per ticket. “We like to keep our events interesting, change things up and continue to provide topnotch events for both our community and our visitors, particularly during Autumn on Parade,� continued Dickson. “Having the opportunity to showcase this exceptional historic restoration ,and the further improvements and features that have been added over the past 3 years, makes it a perfect venue for this years’ festival!�

Profits from the Chamber fall fund raiser give back to community projects.

Past recipients of dollars include the Oregon Schools Foundation, the new Veteran War Memorial, LIFELINE, Community Arts Legacy, Autumn on Parade, and Candlelight Walk. “We are always grateful

to our sponsors who play a huge roll in every event!

This year, special thanks go to EXELON Generation, ALPINE Chiropractic & Natural Medicine, the Harvard State Bank, Martin & Company, and BIG Johns.

Chamber office at 815-7322100.

Fields Restored farm visit will be on Sept. 11 An upcoming field day will tour an Ogle County farm that is growing perennial crops including nuts, fruits, and forage.

The field day is free and open to the public. It will be held at Fields Restored on Sunday, Sept. 11 from 1- 4 p.m. at 2961 Harmony Road Oregon.

Established in 2015, Fields Restored is growing over a dozen different kinds of perennial crops, including chestnuts, hickories, apples, raspberries, and alfalfa.

This farm is also testing different varieties serviceberry and currants, tasty fruits with underutilized market opportunities due to ripening in June.

The field day will feature a presentation “The First Two Years at Fields Restored” by Sandra and Scott Williams, owners and operators of the farm.

The Williams were named

“A strong family tradition of conservation and responsible land management inspired our father, an Oregon native, to establish a dairy operation with the intention of gradually improving soil condition and fertility on an existing, traditional cornsoybean rotation operation,” Scott said.

“This long range and successful commitment was passed on to our generation and our current work is our attempt to continue the tradition, combining traditional and sustainable land management techniques to explore agricultural practices with positive environmental implications for the future.”

Researchers are working with the Williams to track changes in soil carbon, pollinators, and pest populations.

Stephen A. Steely will play an organ concert on Sunday, Sept. 25 at 4:30 p.m. at the Polo Church of the Brethren, 401 Congress Ave. Steely serves as minister of music and organist at the historic First Lutheran Church

“We hope that the lessons we learn through this initiative will result in production technologies for the future that will identify underdeveloped new food sources, maximize ecological diversity while minimizing environmental stresses, and minimize resource application,” Scott said.

The Savanna Institute, an Urbana-based nonprofit organization, is sponsoring this field day.

Donations of school supplies appreciated Dear Forrestville Valley Community, On behalf of the families that received free school supplies, I want to give a huge thank you!

Thanks to your generosity we provided 115 students with a new back pack and school supplies.

This number represents over 10 percent of our total school population.

There are many, many people that help this program year after year.

Special thanks to German American Bank in German Valley, Bertolet Library in Leaf River, and the Forreston Public Library for continuing to be “drop off ” points.

Thanks to the Leaf River and Forreston Lions Clubs, the Forreston Fire Department, and the Forrestville Valley Youth Network for your continued support of SSET 4 School.

Polo pool had record year

Dear Editor, The Polo Park Board was informed by pool manager Kayla Bergstrom Wednesday evening Aug. 24, that receipts taken in this summer at the municipal pool with a little over a week remaining in the season were well above expected levels.

Attendance figures also showed that over 12,200 people attended the facility.

Both the amount of receipts received and the number of attendees admitted appear to be at an all-time high.

The old pool bath house facility was torn down before last season and replaced by a much more modern structure and brought up to safety and performance codes.

While the pool itself is still the same pool that opened in the spring of 1967, a new pump house, and filtration system was also built with a completely new computer driven system.

Well-over $100,000 was invested in this communitycentered project, which was made possible by the generosity of Polo’s citizens

individually, the city council, and the various clubs the Polo community is so fortunate to have.

The Park Board was very impressed this season with the professional manner in which the pool was operated by the entire staff.

Their efforts made it possible for our community citizens and patrons from area communities to enjoy the relaxation and benefits of one of the few outdoor summertime pools remaining in the region.

Larry Loomis Chairman Polo Park Board

Youth Network seeks volunteers

Dear Editor, The Forrestville Valley School District has an amazing after school program.

The program consists of local adult mentors assisting elementary students with their school work.

The program is overseen by dedicated FVV staff members.

The amazing mentors develop a strong one-on-one relationship with their young students.

This program continues to thrive thanks to the Forrestville Valley School District and the efforts of the mentors and staff coordinators.

The program is always looking for new mentors.

Looking for IREAD mentors

Dear Editor, Oregon Elementary School is beginning the third year participating in a United Way mentoring program called IREAD. Adults are matched with a child to read once a week for a half hour during the school day.

The program begins with kindergarteners and continues through third grade.

The mentor will continue with the same child through third grade.

From kindergarten through third grade children are learning to read. From third grade on, they are reading to learn.

This makes it extremely important for kids to read at grade level.

The more mentors we have, the more children can benefit from the program.

Children benefit from the program as one-on-one attention can make such a positive difference to a child.

Volunteers will spend the first session in the classroom observing and will go through a brief training to make them comfortable with the process.

No teaching or educational background is needed.

Liking kids, reading to them and with them is all it takes.

Last year we served 22 children.

There are so many kids we would love to serve with this program.

Please consider volunteering your time.

We Can Amplifiy your Cell Phone!

BRING: • Copy of Phone Bill • Proof of residency

Times are flexible.

It is understood that volunteers may be away on vacations for a week or a month.

It is better to have a volunteer to make a difference for a child for most of the school year than none of it.

We have volunteers who schedule time from workdays to devote to a student. Please be one of them.

The kids are anxiously waiting for you!

Call Lori Peterson at 815-973-2180 or email petersonappraisalservice@ gmail.com.

Fire officials concerned over possible changes to 911 Board From A1 Currently the board is comprised of the four fire/ EMS representatives, Mott, Tveit, David Sawlville, Rochelle Fire Department, and Galen Bennett, Byron Fire Chief; plus Sheriff Brian VanVickle; Tyler Carls, Rochelle, citizen at large; Sandy Sullivan, Rochelle Police Department representative; Sam Thomas, Oregon, law enforcement representative; and Marty Typer, Stillman Valley,

county board representative.

Mott, who is the chairman of the 911 ETSB, said he is concerned that Gouker presented VanVickle, the sheriff’s office representative, and Carls to the county board for appointment in July but did not present the two fire/ EMS applicants, himself and Tveit.

“He did not put those names forward. We were just told our positions would continue even if we were not

reappointed,” he said. “We’re kind of in limbo right now.”

Mott said he can see no financial advantage to reducing the size of the 911 ETSB because members are not paid for their service.

“These are volunteer positions,” he said.

Fire officials, along with police, need to be wellrepresented on the board, he said, because they deal with the 911 system continually.

“At nine people, we have the right number to get a

good cross-section of ideas and to represent the people in the county,” Mott said.

“You need diversity across the county, from east to west and from small and large departments.”

Another concern is that the 911 system is on the brink of the most significant upgrade in several years.

“We’re getting ready to implement the Next Generation 911 system,” Mott said.

Among other changes, that

will give residents the ability to send text messages to 911, he said.

At the Aug. 16 county board meeting, Polo Fire District Trustee Randy Wagner raised questions about the vacancies not being filled and money being diverted from the 911 ETSB. “If money is taken away from this board, it will have a great effect on fire and police departments,” he said.

However, Gouker reassured him.

“There’s been no discussion about taking money away from this board,” he replied.

911 is funded by a surcharge placed on all phone bills, landlines and cellular.

Formerly, Mott said, the money came directly to the Ogle County 911 ETSB. However, a state law passed last year sends the money to the state, which then distributes it to local boards.

It is a time when libraries nationwide join together to remind parents, caregivers and students that signing up for a library card is the first step towards academic achievement and lifelong learning.

Card holders have free access to a family destination.

As children head back to

school, family time is often hindered by homework and afterschool and social activities.

Data collected by the Harvard Family Research Project shows that families are integral to a child’s development in its report, “Public Libraries: A Vital Space for Family Engagement.”

A public library card is your ticket to free educational resources and activities that bring families together.

Libraries not only provide resources to parents and children that support early literacy and lifelong learning, but truly transform how families spend time together.

Park district adds another Little Free Library The Oregon Park District announces the newest addition to its parks, a Little Free Library.

The outdoor Little Free Library is now located at the corner of S. Sixth Street and Madison Street,

just nothwest of the Nash Recreation Center.

In 2015, the family of Richard and Roberta (Zeigler) Ingraham, donated the land to make the Little Free Library a possibility.

Roberta was an avid reader

and the library will serve as a fitting memorial to Richard and Roberta’s memory.

Erin Folk, Oregon Park District Executive Director, is excited about the new addition.

“We are very appreciative

of the Ingraham family for the donation of land in memory of their mom and dad,” said Folk. “We look forward to creating an intergenerational space that can be used by patrons and recreation staff for programming purposes.”

Seventh graders open 2016 season The seventh grade Eagle volleyball team was in action this past week when they traveled to Dixon Reagan on Aug. 30 and hosted Meridian on Sept. 1.

Natalie Roesslein had seven points in the loss.

In the third and deciding game, Dixon’s strong serving prevailed as the Eagles fell, 7-15.

In the afternoon’s second match, the Eagles won a close first game, 25-23.

Setter Elizza Easley had

four service points for the Eagles.

In the second game, Easley and Abigail Duke successfully served for a combined 14 points in the 25-9 win. The Eagles swept Dixon by taking game three, 15-11.

In the final game of match one, DLR didn’t let up in the

15-12 victory with Roesslein serving five points.

Lady Hawks learning as they take sixth place

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com With a brutally tough non-conference slate to start the season, along with tournaments at Galena and Oregon, the Lady Hawk volleyball team is learning as they go along.

At their own Invitational, the squad took sixth place out of 16 teams, losing to Stockton 25-22 and 25-16 in the fifth-place contest on Saturday.

To reach that game, Oregon nipped Stillman Valley 2025, 27-25 and 15-13.

“We switched up lineups several times, trying to find what works for us,” Oregon coach Faith Watson said.

“Everyone got meaningful playing time.”

Playing five times over two days allowed Watson to see how each player responded in game-time situations. She cited examples of newer players like junior Bianca Ruchti and sophomore McKenna Sadler that responded favorably.

“We learned what people’s strengths on the floor are and

what we need to work on as a team,” Watson said.

In Friday’s pool play, Oregon lost to Freeport Aquin 25-21, 23-15 and 15-9 and beat East Peoria 22-25, 25-19 and 16-14.

“It’s nice to see teams we haven’t seen,” Watson said.

“And, most of our games went three sets.”

Gylian Finch was named to the all-tournament team.

“That was Gylian being Gylian,” Watson said, referring to her standout’s volleyball talents.

Keith County Day and Eastland, Oregon’s first two non-conference foes, played for the Invitational title, with Keith winning 25-20 and 25-18. The two teams have combined to win the last four state titles in 1A.

Runners compete at Oregon Open

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com With 3-time state champ Jon Davis of Oakwood Fithian having graduated, 2016 could be the year of Brayden Hamblen in 1A cross country.

Hamblen, who finished third at the IHSA state meet last fall and the only non-senior among the top 19 finishers is the odds-on favorite to bring a much coveted individual state title to Rock Falls.

Only three other runners

in school history have even medaled, going back to 1976 when Larry Schuldt took 18th in Class AA. At the Oregon Open on Sept. 3, Hamblen got his first real test with Tanner Chida, a transfer from of Hinckley Big Rock, in the field. A 2-time all-stater like Hamblen, Chida was third in the state in 2014 as a sophomore running for Aurora Christian.

Any question as to the top dog was erased early as Hamblen took control and never looked back. Chida

Hawks fall to Dixon 24-7 in first home game of 2016

By Eric Ingles eingles@saukvalley.com

Dixon got touchdowns passing and rushing from Noah Wilcox in the first half, and a lot of production from Arthur Cox in the second

half to beat Oregon 24-7 on at Landers-Loomis Field Sept. 2.

After the Dukes’ defense stopped Oregon on the Hawks’ first two drives, the Dixon offense turned decent field position into

points. Wilcox got the scoring started, finding Jared Harrison on a post route as Harrison rumbled 50 yards for the score.

“I was looking at the linebackers and they were following my eyes,” Wilcox

said. “I looked off the linebackers and went backside.”

Wilcox then took a readoption into the end zone.

Cox took over in the second half, rushing 12 times for 75 yards, including eight

Oregon’s Jacob Cullen runs for gain against Dixon on Sept. 2. The Hawks fell 24-7. Photo by Earleen Hinton

carries and two catches on a scoring drive early in the third quarter. He capped off the drive by catching a pass in the left flat and diving for the pylon to score.

“They called X-screen, and I thought I could make the corner[back] miss and just dive,” Cox said.

Oregon’s offense struggled to get on track, gaining 16 yards in its first two drives.

The Hawks started to get production from running backs Caleb Mennen and Jacob Cullen later in the half, leading to a touchdown with 8.8 seconds to go in the second quarter when Caid Chenoweth found Brandon Ramirez in the end zone.

“We kind of tried everything the first time through,” Oregon coach

John Bothe said. “We kind of had to find out what worked. They’re very good on defense, very big and physical and aggressive.”

Dixon stopped the Hawks on fourth down four times in the game, including the final two Oregon drives.

“Our defense has taken a lot of criticism, and they’ve taken that and channeled it into improving themselves,” Dixon coach Dave Smith said. “They played it against a very good Oregon team, and we did what we had to do tonight.”

Dixon’s final score came from a 42-yard punt return

by Elijiah McGlown with 1:04 left in the third quarter.

Oregon travels to North Boone on Sept. 9.

Hussung finishes in 17th

From B1 dropped out halfway through the race and the only other runner to give token opposition was Chris Ahlers of Newman.

Not only did Hamblen lose Chida, but he also lost a shoe halfway through the race.

Even running with one shoe off, his time of 15:51 on the Park West 3.0-mile course was 30 seconds ahead of Ahlers.

“He’s number one of the state and I’m fortunate he’s close by, so I have a chance to race him,” said Ahlers, admittedly more a trackman than cross-country runner.

Ahlers was able to keep pace with Hamblen for two miles, but Hamblen’s Oregon’s Zack Hawkins, left, Erie-Prophetstown’s Max Weidel, Erie-Prophetstown’s superior distance running Christopher Link, and Oregon’s Jordan Wilkins compete in the 2016 Oregon Open skills made the difference in the final mile.

“Chris did better than at the Rock Falls meet against him,” Newman coach Pat Warkins said. “Brayden will be tough to beat. Our goal is to close the gap on him.”

Hamblen had a good summer averaging 60-65 miles a week, is healthy and is adjusting to life without former running partner Seth Williams.

“It’s been hard without Seth pushing me, but it’s also been a blessing. I’ve had to learn to take it all out on my own,” Hamblen said.

Rock Falls coach Mark Truesdell is also happy where Hamblen is at this point of the season.

“I’ve had him for four years and maturity-wise, he’s so much different,” Truesdell said. “He’s very focused and not arrogant. He knows what

he needs to do and works harder than anyone else.”

Hamblen’s heir apparent, freshman Braxton Schuldt ran 16.59 to fourth place among the 103 competitors.

“Oh, he’ll definitely take my place when I leave,” Hamblen said.

“What he has going for him is that he’s smart enough to keep his mouth shut and follow Brayden,” Truesdell said.

This was a non-scoring team meet, but had it been scored, Newman would have won. It had five runners in the top 27 - Spencer Mauch, Shay Harner, Brady Osborne, Matt Hodge and Ahlers.

For Oregon, Ian Hussung led the way with a 17th-place finish and 18:12 clocking.

Lady Hawks cross country hosted invite on Sept. 3

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com

10th place finisher at the 2A state meet. “But, I feel good coming into this season.”

“We’re glad they let us come here,” Kaneland coach Doug Ecker said. “It’s a great course and Oregon does a great job of hosting.”

With the wealth of 1A cross country talent in central Illinois, as evidenced by the only one top 50 state returner at Oregon, having Kaneland present allowed Weidner and seniors Erin Hosto and Megan Grady of Amboy some solid competition.

“Haley’s on course for a good season. She looked good today,” BV coach Dale Donner said.

In a role reversal, Hosto finished ahead of Grady for the first time ever. Her time of 21:05 was good for 11th, while Grady was 14th at 21:27.

“That surprised me,” Hosto

At the 20-team Oregon Open cross country meet on Sept. 3, it was Kaneland dominating the girls side, with four placers in the top seven, including individual champ Rachel Richtman.

A junior high state champ last year, Richtman won with a time of 19.32.

The top area finisher was Bureau Valley’s Haley Weidner, who took fifth with a 20:06 clocking. After vacationing in Florida and then a hard week of practice, Weidner was pleased with her finish.

“Kaneland is always number one at this meet,” said Weidner of the largest school in the field with and enrollment of 1,317 and a

said. “It was my fastest time on this course. It’s very challenging.”

Sandwiched between those two was freshman Alex Gomez of Rock Falls (21:16). Gomez is a part of a freshmen-laden group for the Rockets.

“She’s looking tough,” RF coach Mark Truesdell said. ‘We’re still all kind of learning, because we are so young.”

Newman’s top runner, Teagan McKenna, was on vacation and did not run.

According to coach Pat Warkins, Newman’s next major test will be in two weeks at the Bureau Valley Invite.

No team scores were kept.

The Hawk soccer team won one game and lost another in a shootout during high school action last week.

Oregon tied Stillman Valley 2-2 after regulation with 18 shots on goal and two goals by Eduardo Guzman and Petr Smid during an Aug. 30 game on the road.

Joshua Sitze scored one for the Hawks before they fell in the shootout 2-1.

Oregon had 18 shots on goal with Alex Sitze leading the way with five followed

by Guzman with three and Klye Cermak with three each. Brendon Riesselman and Josh Sitze had two shots on goal for the Hawks with Nick Zalzalah, Jilberto Dominguez, and Johnathan Prose adding one each.

Zalzalah had two assists and Jaspreet Gill had 16

saves.

The Hawks dominated Winnebago on Sept. 1, winning 6-0 at Winnebago.

Guzman and Smid had two goals each followed

by Zalzalah and Kaden Humphrey with one each.

Josh Sittze had two assists and Gill had 11 saves.

hodgepodge of duties associated with hosting so many events, besides the administrative component of ensuring officials are in place for each contest.

The list goes on and on of chores the athletic department must do for this particular weekend, with planning starting months in advance.

“Organization is the key and having people willing to step up and help,” said Lawton, who is usually on site non-stop other than an overnight sleeping break.

The 1,000-plus crosscountry runners is the most ever at Oregon for a home meet. With the long distances cars were forced to park at, some parents likely walked as far as their children ran that day.

Taking into account the sea of spectators at the crosscountry meet, a packed house for Friday football, 40 games of volleyball and the soccer crowd, several thousand sports fans invaded Oregon this weekend.

With the football and cross-country teams on the road and volleyball and soccer taking the weekend off, it will be like a ghost town this weekend.

I say this every fall, but it deserves repeating.

The park district and high school athletic facilities look

absolutely magnificent.

It is a source of pride that few other small schools in Illinois are able to showcase.

On Friday, my schedule took me to Forreston for their football game with Galena.

After watching the Cardinals for the first time, my preconceived notion of them as a state title contender was validated.

I’m not making the claim that they will be state champs, like I did midway through the season two years ago. But, find me a 1A team as quick on both side of the ball as Forreston is.

Certainly, the 2015 state champ Arcola, was probably just as fast or faster, but those kids have graduated.

And, this is going to be at least a 2-year deal or longer with Forreston. There are a load of non-seniors on offense and defense.

This Friday, it’s off to Polo for what many consider the conference title in the Upstate division of the NUIC, as the Marcos host favored Stockton.

Polo has a brutal 2-week home stand with Stockton and EPC. Winners of 19 of its last 20 division contests, the best of any NUIC school over that period, the Marcos will finally see where they stack up in conference action.

in 17 years of broadcasting Oregon Hawk football games on the radio, Sam Ramirez took a night off.

Instead of doing the DixonOregon game, Sam and his wife Carrie made the 900mile drive (one way) on I-80 to Laramie to watch his beloved NIU Huskies play the Cowboys of Wyoming.

Besides making the long, and what many consider to be boring drive through Iowa and Nebraska, Sam and Carrie had to wait out a weather delay, which caused a start time of nearly midnight CST. The game also went into triple overtime, finally ending at 3:40 a.m. with NIU on the losing end.

Ouch. I bet that was an even longer drive back.

Large crowd for Oregon Together’s block party

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com A large crowd filled the Oregon Coliseum and Coliseum lawn last Sunday afternoon for the Oregon Community Block Party. “We were pleased with the block party,� said Oregon Together member Donna Mann. “Around 400 people came out to attend the event.�

The day began with live music before the Oregon Together Steering Committee members took to the stage.

They informed the crowd about the activities and project currently underway in the community.

Following the talk, visitors mingled outside the north and east side of the building for games, exhibits, and the “Taste of Oregon� food court. “We loved seeing al the young families at the event learning about what Oregon has to offer,� Mann said.

Exhibits provided information about festivals, events, and outdoor activities throughout the community.

The food vendors gave visitors the chance to sample local flavors.

Wandering outside was Jesse Eckles juggling and providing entertainment for children of all ages.

Take time to create an emergency plan

By Joanie D. Padilla Director of Health Education & Emergency Preparedness Ogle County Health Department September is National Preparedness Month, and the Ogle County Health Department reminds residents that this is a good time to communicate with family members about their emergency plan.  This year’s national theme for September is Don’t Wait, Communicate. Make your Emergency Plan Today.

Some disasters strike without any warning, and family members may not all

be in the same place. How will you get in touch with each other? Where will you meet? How will you get out of your house in case of a fire? What if your neighborhood is being evacuated? It’s important to make a plan now so that you will know what to do, how to find each other, and how to communicate in an emergency. Emergencies can happen at any time, not just when everyone is together. Create a communication plan and make sure that everyone in your family has it with them at all times.

Sheriff’s department to observe Illinois Rail Safety Week

In an effort to promote safety railroad safety awareness and education, the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department will participate in Illinois Rail Safety Week Sept. 11-17.

Enforcement details are planned throughout the week at various railroad grade crossings to cite both

drivers and pedestrians who disobey the laws associated with crossings and railroad property.

Deputies will also distribute literature with information on how to be safe around trains and train tracks. “Please remember, not only is it against the law to stop your vehicle on

railroad tracks, it is also against the law to stop your vehicle anywhere within the highway-rail grade crossing,�

Sheriff Brian VanVickle said.

Highway-rail grade crossings are typically marked by white stop lines on the pavement in advance of the crossing.

If not marked on the

pavement, the highwayrail grade crossing extends from protective gate arm to protective gate arm.

During 2015 in Illinois, 140 crossing collisions occurred involving motor vehicles and resulted in 79 injuries and 24 fatalities.

In addition, 41 incidents occurred that resulted in 18

injuries and 23 fatalities when people trespassed on railroad property. Illinois ranked third in the nation in vehicle collision fatalities and fifth in trespasser fatalities in 2015.

The Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police have asked Gov. Bruce Rauner to declare Sept. 11-17 as Illinois Rail

Safety Week.

Rauner issued a proclamation in May for the week to be designated, and the chiefs’ organization is coordinating the third annual event.

If the outstanding assessments are paid at any time during any action to enforce the collection of assessments, the purchaser shall have no obligation to pay any assessments which accrued before he or she acquired title. If this property is a condominium unit which is part of a common interest community, the purchaser of the unit at the foreclosure sale other than a mortgagee shall pay the assessments required by the Condominium Property Act, 765 ILCS 605/18.5 (g-1).

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Consider how to make your life easier. Give people who are placing demands on you something to occupy their time and keep them out of your hair. Take control and learn to say no.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Ask for clarification if you aren’t satisfied with the information you are given.

If you stay on top of your personal business, positive results will unfold. Don’t be afraid of change.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It’s a good time to travel for business or educational purposes. A retreat will open your mind to a host of information that will help you reduce your stress and change your way of living.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Take a chance and make a point to do things differently.

What you discover will make a difference, not only to you, but to others with similar dilemmas.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A chance to show what you have to offer will be met with encouragement and a chance to take on a new project, but first you must take care of unfinished business.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Refuse to take on too much. Honing in on what’s most important will make a difference to the outcome of something you truly believe in.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- When traveling or dealing with people who don’t share your views, you are best off being protective of your personal information.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You should put more energy into making personal gains, not into trying to change others. Focus on your appearance and physical fitness, not on manipulating others into doing things for you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- An opportunity will develop that will give you greater job security. Negotiating and signing contracts are favored.

Positive changes are heading your way. Celebrate with a loved one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Emotional matters will escalate if you cannot keep a secret. Offering information based only on hearsay will result in you being blamed for meddling.

Focus on yourself, not on others.

LIVESTOCK / SUPPLIES

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Don’t take on someone else’s responsibilities. It’s not up to you to make other people look good. Do your best to get ahead by taking pride in what you do.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Make a point to bring about positive change. Don’t let the past hinder your advancement.

You can’t change what’s already transpired, but you can change the future.
