Bike path rides closer to park

World War II Re-enactment

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The Ogle County Board agreed Tuesday evening to cooperate with two other governmental bodies to take a step toward getting a bike path that connects Oregon to Lowden State Park.

The board voted to pay a portion of the cost of a Phase 1 engineering study that would make getting a state grant for the project more likely.

Board chairman Kim Gouker, Byron, said the Oregon Park District officials asked the county to contribute $19,000 toward the $59,000 study for the Rock River Heritage Trail.

History will come alive at Stronghold for re-enactment

By Earleen Hinton ehinton@oglecounty news.com The German soldier climbed on the 1944 DKW NZ 350-1 motorcycle, kick started it, put an unfiltered Camel cigarette in his mouth, and casually drove on to the sidewalk on the north side of the Ogle County Courthouse?!?!

Yep. That was just part of the scene on the courthouse square in Oregon last Saturday as the World War Two Historical Reenacting Society began an Armed Forces Weekend Commemoration that culminates this weekend with a WWII Battle Reenactment at Stronghold Camp and Retreat Center, north of Oregon.

“We were just out on a day trip and we saw all this and had to stop,” said Sandy Russell, Rock Falls.

In addition to the motorcycle “all this” included a WWII Jeep, tents, and gear along with living history re-enactors in uniforms from a couple of wars including Vietnam.

“We are with C Company, 1st Battalion, 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division,” said re-enactor Todd Lamb, from Crystal Lake as he showed passersby his gear.

Approximately 360 living history re-enactors from various states will be at this fundraising event for Stronghold, held in conjunction with the World War Two Historical Reenacting Society.

“There will be World War II re-enactors in World War II-type encampments along with vehicles from that era on display,” said Rich Russo, a member of the society’s

The event will include uniform and weapon demonstrations with reenactors portraying troops from Germany, Poland, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and, of course, the United States.

“We plan on having a German Red Cross Field Hospital and a European cafe that will be open to

the public,” Russo said.

“We will have flyovers and pyro-technics, weather permitting.”

A USO show complete with period music is also being planned for Saturday night.

“The USO show will be held in our Brubaker Center’s dining hall with a cash bar being run by the Oregon VFW,” said Danny Pierce, executive director at Stronghold.

“Period piece music will be played.”

“The music will be WWII era with swing, and we are encouraging the public to dress in 1940era costumes to get in the mood,” said Russo.

$21,000, and the City of Oregon has agreed to pay $19,000.

The park district has applied for an Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program grant for the $1 million project.

Gouker said having the study will enhance the chances that the grant application will be successful.

He said the grant would cover 80 percent of the cost and the park district and city will pay the remaining 20 percent.

“They will not be asking us for anything more,” Gouker said.

Surprise money donated to HOO $50,000 will help their work

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Members of Hands on Oregon were in for a big surprise Monday when they attended a regular meeting of the volunteer organization.

HOO President Rick Ryland waited until everyone had arrived at Conover Square to show them a giant check for $50,000, thanks to an anonymous donor.

The unexpected — and very welcome — gift brought Vice President Fran Strouse to tears.

“It was a huge surprise,” Ryland said Tuesday. “It is just huge.”

HOO, a not-for-profit, was formed in 2015 by Ryland and Jeff Hallock with the purpose of enriching the

lives of Oregon citizens through local caring and creating excitement through volunteerism.

As their first project, they chose repairing the south wall of Conover Square.

Moisture and age had caused the wall of the century-old building to deteriorate and bow out.

Building owner Lou VanderWyst had already shored up the inside of the wall with jacks and was doing what he could to deal with the problem.

However, money was tight, and he lacked the amount needed to make the extensive repairs.

HOO set to work in late December of 2015, removing the stucco from the wall’s outside and shoring up the studding, then insulating the wall and sheeting it.

The process has been slow Turn to A2

$50,000 donation will help with Conover renovations From A1 at times, but obstacles have been overcome and donations have rolled in.

Ryland said the latest one means he can now order more materials.

“What we can do now is order the pieces,” he said.

Before going ahead with the work, Ryland said, the fire department wants an

architect to approve the design for the solar wall.

Plans call for the entire south wall to be a solar collector, which is expected to drastically lower the heating costs for the 100,000 square foot building.

HOO also needs the go-ahead from ComEd to proceed because of the proximity of electrical wires.

Once completed, the

eastern one-quarter of the wall will be sided to look like a large American flag.

The names of those who have donated will also be listed on the wall.

Ryland expressed his gratitude for everyone involved in the project.

“First of all, I thank God for his blessing and favor on this project,” he said.

Monetary donations,

coming from individuals and organizations, have now exceeded $101,000.

Anonymous donors have contributed $90,000 of that.

Other donors include Nicor Gas, Eagle’s Nest Art Group, Blackhawk Model Railroad, and Oregon Woman’s Club.

Hector’s Cocina and Conover Chocolates, both businesses in Conover

Square, have provided food for the volunteers working on the project, and Fischers, Inc., in downtown Oregon, has donated printing.

Ryland also voiced his appreciation to Oregon Mayor Ken Williams and the Blackhawk Hills Regional Council for their help.

“A special thank you goes to the Oregon Republican Reporter,” Ryland said. “The

paper has been invaluable in getting the word out.”

To contribute to Hands on Oregon, make checks payable to Blackhawk Hills Regional Council, and on the memo line write Hands On Oregon.

Checks can be mailed to Hands on Oregon, PO Box 244, Oregon IL 61061.

One seriously rich dessert Garage Sales in Oregon sold to benefit Habitat Cake sells for more than $600

By Zach Arbogast zarbogast@ogle countynews.com A cake baked by Oregon’s Village Bakery sold for nearly $700 at a dessert auction.

The Village Bakery, 101 N. Third St., produced a cake that went for $675 at a fundraiser.

Habitat for Humanity of Ogle County held its annual prime rib dinner event May 5 at Rochelle United Methodist Church.

Aside from the prime rib, the event featured live entertainment, a silent auction, and dessert auction.

When it came time for the dessert auction, the first

bid was for a “choose your dessert,” where the winning bidder could choose any dessert off the table, without having to bid separately.

The bidding round ended

at $675 from a table of donors who wished to remain anonymous, and when it came time to choose their dessert, they picked a berry cake from The Village Bakery, operated by the Village of Progress.

“It was extremely flattering,” said Brion Brooks, Village of Progress Executive Director and Habitat board member. “The money went to habitat for humanity, but it also sends a tremendous message about the bakery.”

“Our cake decorator thought it was really cool too,” added Jackie Fransen, bakery manager.

The berry cake is a regular item available at the bakery, but you’ll only need to pay $37.99 for it, not $675.

An eye exam is a good idea, especially if things are starting to look a little fuzzy around the edges.

Marilyn Miller shares her memories of the Depot 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 Oregon resident Marilyn Miller shares her memories of the Oregon Depot and riding the train.

Oregon Depot Memories

By Marilyn Miller

H

earing the Zephyr blow its horn when it would come to Oregon at different times of the day was among one of my pleasant memories.

You would hear it coming into the depot - just like when the whistles blew at 12 noon and at five and six o’clock in the evening.

Hearing certain familiar sounds every day signaled

to me that everything was all right and things were going as they should, a comforting feeling.

One trip I took around the holidays in 1952 or 1953 with my Mother and Dad was to Oakland, California.

We were going to visit my brother, Don, who was in the Air Force and stationed at Parks Air Force Base.

We caught the Zephyr in Oregon and I believe went to the LaSalle Station in Chicago where we boarded the California Zephyr.

This particular train had a dome car and anyone could go up to the dome at any time during the day and sit.

It was especially exciting at nights, sitting in the dome, and seeing all of the lights twinkling as the train zoomed along.

I believe we were on the train for two nights.

At night, the porter would come along and offer pillows to the passengers.

You often hear that anticipation is half of the

guy was walking past our house, carrying a sack, and was headed toward town.

My Mother told me she was going to get the car, pick him up, and take him to the depot to watch for a train which would give him time to think of what he was threatening to do.

Later both Mother and her little passenger came home and the crisis was over. He decided he didn’t want to run away after all.

The Burlington Zephyr rolls into Oregon Depot.

Marilyn’s father Gerald The Burlington Route was Garard was the city excitement and enjoyment depot. the first railroad using the attorney for Oregon. Photo When we would go to the courtesy of Otto Dick of a trip, which is probably Vista Domed Cars. These

true, but riding in that dome car was really breathtaking and something I will never forget, and it all started at the depot.

My Mother and Dad had relatives that would come out from Chicago to visit us and we would meet them at the depot when they arrived in Oregon.

It was always exciting to me to be meeting someone coming in off the train at the

depot, often times my Dad would allow my brother and I to place a penny on the track and then retrieve it after the train had pulled out.

We were always astounded as to how flat and funny shaped that penny would be.

My Mother would take some of the children who lived in our neighborhood to the depot to see the Zephyr come in.

This was always a fun

adventure for everyone involved.

In fact, I remember one day a neighbor of ours called my Mother and told her that her little boy was unhappy about something that had transpired between them and that he had packed a small sack and was going to leave home and would we watch for him.

About that time the little

domed cars could seat 24 passengers under the nonglare safety glass domes.

There were five Vista Dome Cars on each train.

The Burlington Twin Cities Zephyrs ran from 1935 to 1970.

In 1971 passenger service to Oregon ceased. We had passenger service for 100 years before President Bush signed the Amtrack legislation.

In addition, Battin will talk about the pallet, paint, brushes and solvents she uses.

Adult Protective Services – What You Should Know Presented by Kat Pence, Lifescape Community Services Join Kat as she brings this very important information to Rock River Center on June 19, at 10 a.m.

Kat Pence retired from law enforcement as an

emergency dispatcher in Iowa after 17 years. She moved to Illinois four years ago and began working as an Adult Protective Services case worker. She now supervises both the APS and CCP programs for Lifescape Community Services.

In the United States, the fastest growing population is those aged 85 and older.

In 2009, one out of nine seniors reported being a victim of some type of abuse in the past 12 months. (www.nceal.aoa.gov). We will be viewing a short film from ABC News that addresses these issues in an effort to bring to light abuse of this vulnerable population.

In Illinois, the Adult Protective Services Act was created to help protect those victims. In 2013, the Act added adult disabled individuals to the population protected by the Adult Protective Services Act. In Illinois, there are seven defined types of abuse – Physical, sexual, emotional, confinement, passive neglect, willful deprivation, and financial exploitation.

Anyone 60 years or older, or disabled between the ages of 18-59, please call the Adult Protective Services

poker run, rope-making, and a swap meet.

The jamboree began when Andy Hinrichs decided he needed a barn to store his growing collection of garden tractors.

He really wanted an old barn, and decided to build one using the lumber from two old farm buildings that

he tore down in 2009.

Hinrichs built the barn to be a museum and filled the lower level and part of the haymow with his treasures.

The jamboree is a way to share his collection with anyone who is interested.

The event is named for the couple’s son AJ, who was just 4 years old when it all began.

Teacher grants are available The Illinois Retired Teachers Association Foundation (IRTAF) is making $36,500 in grant money available statewide to individual public school class room teachers (PK-12) for the 2017-18 school year.

These grants are designed for special projects the teachers might not be able to have funded through the normal budgetary process.

In this time of short budgets, state shortfalls, and economic and budgetary insecurity for public schools, these grants can be very helpful.

“These grants won’t only assist teachers doing their work, but ultimately students will benefit as well,” Dave

Davison, president of the Illinois Retired Teachers Association said. “Our goal and hope is that our state’s teachers have the tools and resources available to inspire and empower students. With these grants, we believe better instruction will be delivered and more students will be engaged as learners.”

“It’s great to know that an organization like the IRTAF supports teachers when dollars for education are so tight,” Jean Hoff, an IRTA member from Ogle-Lee Retired Teachers Association said. “Grants like these have a ripple effect, from the teacher to the student, through the school, through the community and then

ultimately through the state.”

To apply, download, complete, and submit the application online by visiting www.irtaonline.org.

The application can be found in the IRTA Foundation section. All applications must be submitted by June 1.

A special committee will select the recipients of the grants. Grant awards will be presented in the fall.

scholarships were from local families and generous businesses that continue to look for ways to stay active in the Forrestville Valley School District.

On May 14 we held our commencement ceremony for the Class of 2017.

The entire ceremony was done with class and focused on our seniors.

The speeches, awards, and presentation of diplomas were treated with the utmost respect and dignity our seniors deserved.

Graduation is a big day for our seniors and I wanted to thank everyone for their help in making this year’s commencement ceremony one to remember!

Thank you all for making Forrestville Valley a great place to work and live and to the Class of 2017 remember that commencement is the beginning and the entire world is your canvas.

Best of luck in all of your endeavors and never forget your Cardinal family.

Public Voice Jail plan is questioned Dear Editor, The proposed Ogle County jail will house 180 to 200 inmates, almost double the current capacity.

Who are these inmates, and why are their numbers growing?

After multiple attempts to find out, I learned from Sheriff [Brian] VanVickle that they are Ogle County and federal pretrial detainees, not yet convicted of the crime for which they have been charged.

The county receives payment to house federal detainees and their number varies based on number of available beds.

At the time of our conversation, there were seven federal detainees in the jail.

A former county bailiff told me that jail inmates may also include county residents serving short sentences.

According to Sheriff VanVickle, Ogle County began tracking crime statistics in 2001, but due to technical difficulties, almost no data from before 2009 is available.

The design for the new jail is based on “projected need over the next several decades,” but those projections are actually based on just eight years of county statistics plus FBI statistics – the same ones that show crime rates decreasing as our national population increases and our county population decreases.

An increase in state crime rates is referenced as

additional justification for the scale of this project.

Gov. [Bruce] Rauner has appointed a committee to look at reducing the prison population by 25 percent in the next 10 to 15 years.

Lawmakers nationwide are working to reduce the inmate population, not increase it.

By building such a large jail, we are moving backward and not looking forward to the future.

Since it is illogical to build a jail this large, why is it being proposed?

As a money-maker for the county? If so, is this what the majority of residents want?

I appreciate the time and effort that has been put forth by those involved in this process.

We all want a safe community and a place to house inmates that is safe and livable.

The questions that have not yet been adequately addressed are why so big and why downtown?

The county board decided not to put this proposal to a referendum due to the cost.

Given the impact of this decision, it seems a very small price to pay.

Learn more about drug court

Dear Editor, In light of May being the National Drug Court Awareness Month, the New Horizons Ogle County Adult Drug Court would like to invite everyone to find out more about how our program

reduces crime, saves money, ensures compliance, and restores families.

For instance, cost savings range from $4,000 to $12,000 per participant.

These savings result from reduced prison costs, revolving door arrests and trials, and decreased victimization.

Additionally, more comprehensive and closer supervision is provided compared to other community-based supervision programs and offenders are six times more likely to stay in treatment long enough to get better.

To learn more, please visit our Facebook page by searching for @ newhorizonsdrugcourt and/or by contacting our Coordinator, Brooke Plachno at bplachno@oglecounty. org.

Additionally, we would like to thank the Rochelle Area Community Foundation for their generous grant award of $500, which was presented on May 4.

Although our program is proudly self-sustainable, we are able to accept private donations through our partnership with the Foundation for Focus House and Community Programming (501c3).

The grant will be used toward purchasing incentives for our participants as they successfully complete phases of the program. All donations are tax-deductible.

As the criminal justice continues to shift away from punitive measures and toward a model that utilizes results-based practices

grounded in treatment and restorative justice, it is invigorating to know that our county is already at the forefront at this evolution.

Sincerely, Samantha Anderson Community Projects Coordinator Ogle County

Food drive was appreciated

Dear Editor, We will make this short and sweet — thank you to our local postal workers for their 25th annual food drive this past weekend.

Between our postal workers and pantry volunteers it is was very successful cooperative venture.

Together we made a difference in helping “Stamp Out Hunger.”

Special thanks to Loaves and Fish volunteers for their ever present willingness to step in and give of their time and energy.

Your local pantry is blessed in so many ways — ever so many thanks.

Final week was memorable for Class of ‘17

Dear Editor, I just wanted to take a quick moment and thank everyone in the community for making the last week for the class of 2017 a memorable one.

We are very fortunate to have so many people who care enough to get involved in our baccalaureate service, Honors Night, and commencement ceremony.

These important events helped highlight the wonderful accomplishments of the Class of 2017.

The baccalaureate service was well attended and featured Ken Renkes from Forreston Reformed, Pastor Scott Ralston from Faith Lutheran, and Pastor Grant Mulder from Silver Creek Reformed.

At our Honors Night we were able to honor our Seniors with $275,000 in scholarships for their postsecondary plans.

Castle will be a feature during

the re-enactment From A1 Battle re-enactments will be held twice on Saturday and Sunday (around 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.) on the grounds with a special battle in the courtyard near the castle around 5 p.m. on Saturday.

“One of the strangest battles of World War II was the Battle of Itter Castle where Americans and Germans fought together against the SS to protect the prisoners being held in the castle,” Russo said.

Russo said the Stronghold site, along with its iconic castle, will provide the perfect site for the event.

“We will also be having

a veterans hospitality tent for all us veterans,” Russo said. “The local VFW will be providing the honor guard for the flag raising ceremony as well as hosting the beer tent as a fundraiser for their organization.

There will also be food and military vendors on site.”

A convoy of the vintage vehicles is planned for Friday night around 7 p.m.

“They plan on driving down to Jay’s Drive In in their vehicles and uniforms to the downtown to promote the weekend event,” Pierce said.

Admission to attend is $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 6-12.

6 will be admitted for free.

There is an additional $10 admission for the USO

show on Saturday night.

All activities are weather dependent and visitors

should check the schedule when they arrive.

A reproduction Civil War

cannon, located on the east side of the courthouse, also drew its own audience on Saturday.

“I was just driving by and I saw the cannon. I can’t pass by a cannon without stopping,” said a smiling Warren Mitchell of Belvidere.

The Civil War cannon will be also be on display at Stronghold over the weekend.

Pierce said he hopes to make this an annual weeklong celebration of Armed Forces Services Week.

“We’re just excited to be part of the community. We hope this is an event the community will embrace and as a way to honor all our veterans,” Pierce said.

For more information about the society, visit http:// www.worldwartwohrs.org or Stronghold at www. strongholdcenter.org, 815732-6111.

Stronghold is located two miles north of Oregon, along Illinois. 2.

Ogle County has become a destination for bike riders From A1 Erin Folk said having the financial commitment from all three government bodies makes the case stronger for getting the grant.

“It’s a $1 million project so spending $59,000 to have 80 percent of that paid by a grant seems like a good idea,” she said.

Board member Marcia Heuer, Oregon, asked if getting the grant is likely to happen.

Engineer Curtis Cook from

Chastain & Associates LLC, Rockford, said success is not guaranteed, but last year the state did not award any ITEP grants without Phase 1 engineering studies.

Board member Pat Saunders, Polo, who cast the only dissenting vote, voiced concerns that the county could be facing even more state revenue cuts in the coming year.

She said property values have rebounded somewhat in the last year, but are still below

pre-2008 levels, resulting in reduced real estate tax revenue for the county.

“I have nothing against bikers, but as you all know, I don’t like spending a lot of money,” Saunders said.

Board member Greg Sparrow, Rochelle, agreed that county revenues are uncertain, but said that makes the project more appealing because it will bring in revenue from bicyclists from out of the area.

“This is the kind of thing

that brings in money and decreases our dependency on the state legislature,” he said.

“This is money well-spent.”

Prior to the vote, Scott Stephens, Oregon, said nine bike paths developed last year

by Bike Ogle have already attracted bicyclists to the county.

The paths vary in length and all of them begin and end at the Oregon Depot, where a bike station has been set up.

The nine routes, he said, go through every major

community in the county.

Bike Ogle also held the first annual Tour of Scenic Ogle County (TOSOC) bike ride last September, and Stephens said that drew more than 300 bicyclists from several states.

“We’re already becoming known as a good place to come and ride your bike,” he said.

The path will also be attractive to walkers and runners, he said.

A map drawn by Cook shows the bike path first on a

sidewalk on the west side of River Road from Ill. 64 to just past Messie’s Bar. Then the path will run on widened shoulders on both sides of River Road until the curve up the hill begins.

At that point the path will go through the woods to the north and connect to the drive in Lowden State Park near the campgrounds.

Cook said safety is the reason for taking the path away from the road through the woods.

Oregon High School teacher Aaron Sitze was presented with the Illinois Principal Association’s (IPA) Teacher Leadership Award for the organization’s Northwest Region at the Oregon School Board meeting Monday night.

Sitze is one of only three teachers in the Northwest Region, which consists of six Illinois counties and more than two hundred schools, to receive the Teacher Leadership Award.

The award was presented by the region’s treasurer and Ashton-Franklin Center principal Trina Dillon.

Sitze received the nomination for taking on increased initiatives to enhance education throughout the district, including efforts to help develop critical thinking and hands-on curriculum for students.

He was one of several teachers and district members who helped develop OCUSD’s Open Program and is currently working with local community businesses to develop a Social Entrepreneurship course at the high school.

The award is one of several earned by Sitze during his

teaching career. In 2013, he was named a Teacher of the Year finalist by the Illinois State Board of Education through the ‘Those Who Excel’ program – an annual state-sponsored program to honor outstanding educators throughout Illinois.

“I would equate Aaron’s performance as teacher to anyone who has risen to the top echelon of his/her profession. Watching him get the best out of kids is nothing short of amazing.” said OHS principal Andrew Nelson.

A native of Wheaton, Sitze is spending his 14th year teaching English at OHS. He earned a bachelor of arts in History and Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction from Northern Illinois University.

Sitze is continuing his education at NIU as he’s currently taking courses for a doctoral degree.

In addition to teaching English and pursuing a doctorate, Sitze also authored “The Andrew Jackson Stories” (Lockjaw Press, 2016) and recently appeared on WNIJ Northern Public Radio to talk about his book.

He currently lives in Oregon with his wife and two sons and daughter.

Softball team advances to regional championship

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Oregon High School’s softball team made it win number 20 with a 6-0 win over Rockford Christian at the 2A Rockford Lutheran regional on Tuesday night.

That moves Oregon to Saturday’s final at 11 a.m. against the winner between North Boone/South Beloit game on May 17.

The No. 1 seed Hawks had little trouble with RC and continue to gel at the right time of the season.

“Early on, it took time to build trust between coach and player,” Oregon coach Jamie Revelle said. “It all came together and we worked hard to earn this seeding.”

A major reason for Oregon’s success has been the hitting. Several players are at the top of Big Northern Conference statistics.

Hailey White averages over .500 in hitting and leads the league in that category.

Maris Daleo of Stillman Valley is the only other player above .500.

Emily Perkins is No. 7 at .465 and Aleah Wight is two spots back at .452.

“That’s are big three,” Revelle said. They’ve been setting the world on fire.

McKenna Sadler is also coming on.”

Wight has a commanding

20-RBI lead over the next closest BNC player. Among the NIC-10 and NUIC, she is No. 1 overall with 54.

Perkins and White are over 20 RBI. Wight is also the league leader in home runs with 10, with Perkins next with five.

“Don’t overlook our 5-9 hitters,” Revelle said. “It’s just that the top of the order is so good, they get most of the credit.”

Case in point – somebody

has to drive those three in and the trio are 1-2-3 in totals runs scored for the conference.

An off-the-field stat is Revelle picking up her 100th win last week. She entered the season with 82 wins in her previous tenure (200812) at Oregon.

“That was unexpected,” Revelle said. “It gave me goose bumps when I found out and the fact that to was on Senior Night made it special.

These seniors were the ones I remember working with when they were younger.”

If Oregon, which had nice run of seasons in the mid 2000s, wins on Saturday, it will be its first regional title since 2009.

“I’ve never had a group of girls love softball like this year’s team,” Revelle said.

“It’s been a special season and hopefully it will go a lot longer.”

Four Lady Hawks qualify for state track meet

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Coming into to the track season, the Oregon girls faced one of the biggest challenges in the programs history.

The 2016 sectional had only one Hawk state qualifier, the lowest in decades. Additionally, there were concerns about a new soccer program impacting track participation.

If the results of the 1A sectional were any indication, Oregon survived the trying times with flying colors, taking second place and sending four individuals downstate.

With 2A Byron’s 12year reign of 1A sectional championships gone, Winnebago won the 19team meet with 105 points.

Oregon was next at 82, far ahead of Dakota (50).

On paper, Dakota was seeded slightly ahead of the Hawks.

“It was a total team effort,” said Oregon coach Nick Schneiderman while posing for pictures with a very happy bunch of girls.

“You can’t score 82 points with only state qualifiers.

I told the girls I was very impressed and proud of what they accomplished.”

One of those state qualifiers, Abigail Hopkins, remembers the disappointment of missing going downstate by one place last year. He used that motivation to spur on titles in the 110 and 300 hurdles.

“That was rough on me,” Hopkins said. “Coming back, I had to go harder, yet stay more relaxed and definitely be positive.”

As the top seed, she won the 100 hurdles with a time of 16.60. The 300s were considerably more difficult,

as Hopkins had to fight off a charge from Sam Heavlin of Winnebago, winning 48.6748.71.

“I love competing against her,” Hopkins said. “She was the reason I dropped my time by two seconds tonight.”

Hopkins nearly made it 3-for-3 in qualifying, but settled for third place in the triple jump (32-feet-2) and was perfectly happy with that, as teammate Gylian Finch grabbed the No. 2 qualifying spot with a 33-9 on her last jump, which also met the SQ mark.

The combination club volleyball player and occasional trackster was immediately hugged and lifted in the air by her high school volleyball coach Faith Watson, who is also the Hawk jumping coach.

“I’m super excited,” Watson said. “I’m glad to see volleyball athletes be successful in track. I enjoy coaching it and am looking forward to going downstate.”

Because of volleyball, Finch has only been to a handful of meets and rarely is able to practice more than a couple times a week.

“On that final jump, I forgot about distances and who was in what place,” Finch said. “I ran without any fears.”

Senior Ellen Reckamp survived a competitive field in the discus to become a qualifier by virtue of meeting the state mark of 107-6.

Reckamp threw 108-10 on her second attempt and took third to Emily Offenheiser (137-10) of Stockton and By Gwen Heimerdinger (113-5) of Pearl City.

“It helped hitting state qualifying at sectional prep (Monday) and in warm ups,” Reckamp said. “I look at other girls being bigger and Turn to B2

Foss, Mennen lead Hawks at Big Northern Meet

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com After winning the 800, 1,600 and 3,200-meter runs last year, Rock Falls Brayden Hamblen was expected to be the marquee performer at the Big North conference track and field meet on May 11.

Instead, it was Jared Harrison of Dixon upstaging Hamblen and leading the Dukes to a three-peat championship. Harrison had no problem winning both hurdle races, but really made his mark by edging teammate Arthur Cox in the 200-meter dash.

“We hardly ever race each other, said Cox, who won the 100 meters with a 11.32 time.

“He caught me on the curve.

It’s a toss-up on who’s faster.”

Harrison ran 23.01 to 23.29 for Cox. It was only the second time all season Harrison competed in the 200.

3:26.32 in the 1,600 relay.

“I thought Rockford Christian had a chance to push it,” Bond said. “They’re going to be hard to beat downstate in 1A.” Running anchor for RC on the 1,600 relay was sophomore Riley Wells, who by his own admission had a lot left in the tank after upsetting Hamblen in 800.

The 1:56.72-1:58.81 win was the first time Wells had beaten Hamblen in either cross country or track.

“Spectacular,” gushed RC coach Randy Moore. “Riley is a racer and rises to the level of competition.”

Dealing with allergies, asthma and a chest ailment, Hamblen has struggled since running a 9:11 in the 3,200 in early April.

He did manage a win in the 1,600 with a relatively pedestrian time of 4:39.

The heir apparent to Hamblen, RF freshman Dawson Smith, had his best race of the year in winning the 3,200 with a 9:54 clocking.

His previous best was 10:20.

Oregon was nipped by

Byron, 63-62, for third place in the team standings.

Winnebago is experiencing a rare down and was seventh with 44 points.

The Hawks got wins from Sawyer Foss, who threw over 50 feet in the shot put for the first time in his career and sophomore Jake Mennen, who cleared 12-6 in the pole vault.

Mennen’s previous best was 11-9 and he was over 12-6 by nearly a foot. He will be a big favorite to win the sectional.

“Jake finally had his breakout meet,” Oregon coach Jim Spratt said. “His brother Caleb (third at 52.42) ran great and is approaching 51 in the 400. And, Foss (also second in the discus at 143-6) had his usual strong performance.”

Spratt was also pleased with a PR of 11-0 by pole vaulter Conner Hopkins. The 4-year vaulter barely missed 11-6 and took third, helping to give Oregon 25 percent of its points (16) from one event.

Ian Hussung had to scratch

the remainder of the meet after struggling through a fifth-place 10:22 in the 3,200.

Andrew Newman was third in the 110 high hurdles with a time of 16.74. Devin DeHaan took fourth in the 300 hurdles with a 43.24 clocking.

“The negatives of the meet were injuries to two of best runners – Ian Hussung (hip flexor) and Andrew Newman (calf),” Spratt said. Hopefully, we can get them healthy by next Friday (sectional).”

Oregon placed in all four relays, but all were far from state-qualifying standards.

The best effort was a fourth (45.61) in the 400 relay by Caleb Mennen, Newman, Alex Sitze and Kaden Humphrey.

The Hawks could be in jeopardy of not sending a Spratt-coached relay team downstate for the first time.

Other than a few performances, this was mostly a mediocre meet for us,” Spratt said.

The Hawks host the 1A sectional on Friday with field events at 4 p.m. and running to start at 5:30 p.m.

Four qualify for state meet From B1 stronger than me and am thankful to have coach Engle. What a difference it makes having him teaching us.”

In a field of only six 3,200 runners, Mayra Nava-Moyotl ran 13:19 to place second and earn the automatic spot for Charleston. It capped off a 4-year career plagues by trying sprinting as a freshman, a hip injury as a sophomore and surgery her junior year.

“Whether it was winter, cold or rain, Mayra never missed a day her senior year,” Schneiderman said.

Nava-Moyotl also placed in the 800, 1,600 and ran anchor on the fifth-place 1,600 relay.

“Mayra was the one that pulls us through,” Hopkins

said. “This team really connected.”

Other placers were Breanna DeHaan (third in the 400), Meredith Gelander (fourth in the shot and fifth in the discus), Finch (fourth in the long jump), Cynthia Nyderek (fifth in the long jump and 300 hurdles and sixth in the 100 hurdles), Teddy Beachum (sixth in the shot) and Grace Mongan (sixth in the pole vault).

The Hawks also scored in the 800 relay with Christina Trachina, Jessica Brink, Brooke Harris and Mongan.

Forreston-Polo was 12th in the standings with 22 points.

Like Oregon, it performed much better than its seeds.

Its top finish was third in the 3,200 run by Lena Bauman (13:30). Sierra Reining was fifth in the 400.

Team leader Justine Gorzny added a fourth in the 300 hurdles (52.72) and fifth in the 100 hurdles (18.54).

She also had a PR in the triple jump with a distance of 30-4, two inches away from a place.

“As a senior, this a bittersweet,” Gorzny said.

“I placed higher than my seed in the hurdles and glad to finally get the times and distances I want.”

Coach Terry Jenkins was happy to see three of his four relays place. Lexi Cox, Tylor Behrens, Katrine Stevens and Anna Snider ran on the 3,200, while Kaitlyn Mateika, Audrey Hess, Lauren Rhodes and Behrens did the 800 and Makayla Hennemanm Mateika, Hess and Rhodes on the 400.

Junior high girls win sectional; six qualify for IESA state meet The David L. Rahn Junior High girls’ track teams competed in the IESA Sectional Track Meet on May 13, at Winnebago High School.

Competing schools included: West Carroll, Rockford West, Rockford Marshall, Rockford Flinn, Rockford Lincoln, Rockford Eisenhower, Rockford Kennedy, Rockford Christian, Loves Park Harlem, Freeport, Meridian, Winnebago and DLR. In the team standings, DLR eighth grade girls were crowned sectional champions,

have 11 girls go back with medals,” Jenkins said.

In the biggest story of the meet, Rockford Lutheran’s Courtney Sockwell came in as defending state champ

in the 100 and 200, but was beaten in both by Bella Uscila of Elgin St. Ed. In the 200, meet officials had to be called in to review the 25.6825.69 finish.

“It will be totally different at state,” Sockwell said.

“I know she’ll come at me at and I’m excited to take her on again,” Uscila said.

Earlville-Leland led 6-0 after four innings before Oregon scored 18 unanswered runs.

Perkins, whose grand slam came in the fifth inning, threw the final four innings in relief, allowing one hit, striking out four, and walking four.

How good is ForrestonPolo boys track and field team?

They crushed the opposition in the NUIC meet, but even if scored by each school, Polo would have won with 77 points.

Forreston wouldn’t have been far behind with 68.

Talk about balance between two schools co-oping a sport.

There is no way any of the other NUIC programs have a chance against that kind of power. It’s safe to say that F-P will run away with the title in 2018 also.

At the Oregon 1A sectional, F-P will duke it out with Rockford Christian for top dog in small-school track in northern Illinois. RC won this year’s prestigious Hawk Classic, while P-F won it in 2016.

Last year at the sectional, RC was first, Oregon second and P-F third.

There will be plenty of stars on display at Landers-Loomis Field.

Foremost among them is AJ Christensen of F-P, who has the eighth best time (38.73) in the entire state. That includes all three classes.

Among unofficial 1A rankings, Mason Wright in No. 2 in the triple jump and Brady Webb fourth in the long jump for F-P. Christensen has the top times in both the 110 and 300 hurdles.

Rockford Christian has put up the top times in the 800 (1:31), 1,600 (3:24) and 3,200 (8:10) relays and are near the top of the 400 relay.

Ian Hussung’s 1:58 in the 800 is ranked No. 5 for 1A.

Hopefully, he’ll be recovered from a hip flexor injury to make a return trip downstate.

Speaking of Forreston, Gregg Bernhard reported back to me that Forreston won not only the 1979 meet, but the 1980 one as well.

Craig DeWall led the way with wins in the triple jump, hurdles and 200. Mark Korf added the mile and 2 mile double.

The team scores were Forreston 64, Rochelle 50, Byron 42, Oregon 39, Stillman 33, Polo 29, Mt. Morris 19 and Leaf River 12.

Speaking of Leaf River, I accidentally stumbled upon a noteworthy item from the 1994 IHSA state track meet 100th anniversary program.

In the yearly recaps for the past 100 years, there was a miler from Leaf River named Steve Newcomer who won the 1-mile run in 1959 in a 1-class system. He trained by running two miles from the family farm to school.

Revelle Gets 100th Win Congratulations to Oregon softball coach Jamie ReVelle for her 100th win last week at Senior Night. The 100th win not withstanding, she is certainly having more fun coaching this time out than her previous tenure.

With three spring sports, the Hawk girls did surprisingly well. Not only did more girls come out for more spring sports than in recent memory, but five of them are headed downstate in track, the softball team gained a No. 1 regional seed and the soccer players made a load of progress.

I’m very impressed with soccer coach Seger Larson.

I don’t know much about the game or his coaching strategies, but seem to get the sense Seger is respected and liked by the players and their parents.

Andy Colbert

He is currently teaching at Creston and would like to get on in the Oregon district.

Hopefully, something works out for him at Oregon and he becomes an even bigger asset for us.

In talking with F-P track coach Terry Jenkins at the girls sectional track meet, he alerted me to the fact the Polo boys baseball team won three games in a row towards the end of the season. One regret he has as track coach is missing seeing his grandson Trevin Woodin pitch for the Marcos.

Monday was National Peace Officers Day, as established by President Kennedy in 1962. Often, I see local police helping with security at area high school sporting events and their presence is appreciated.

Unlike many in the media, I have nothing but utmost respect for the men and women that are involved in law enforcement.

Instead of trying to find fault with these good people, this media member believes we should be doing all we can to support their efforts.

Instead of protests against them, how about a parade instead?

Work to begin on Ill. 2 bridge north of Oregon Construction work on Ill. 2 between Oregon and Byron was slated to begin on Monday, May 15, weather permitting. According to a press release from Illinois Department of Transportation, Civil Constructors will be starting the project to rehabilitate the bridge over Silver Creek, by the golf course, three miles north of Oregon. The $293,105 project is scheduled to be completed by the end of June. Improvements to the bridge include replacing the

expansion joints, making concrete repairs to the bridge deck, and placing a new concrete surface on the structure. Traffic will be restricted to one lane and controlled by temporary traffic signals as improvements are made to the bridge by working on one-half of the structure at a time. Drivers should be prepared to stop for vehicles waiting at the temporary traffic signals. Slow down and use extreme caution while driving through all work zones.Â
