Heat fails to beat TOSOC bike event

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com

By Earleen Hinton ehinton@oglecountynews.com Temperatures in the 90s coupled with high humidity didn’t stop more than 300 bicyclists from taking part in the Second Annual TŌSOC (Tour of Scenic Ogle County) on Saturday.

“The event went very well,” said Brion Brooks, executive director of the Village of Progress, the organization that hosts the event. “I think we had around 325 riders, which was a little higher than last year’s. The reviews we got were very supportive.”

Proceeds from TŌSOC benefit the Village of Progress, a private not-forprofit corporation that was founded in Oregon in 1969 to meet the training needs of adults with disabilities who reside in Ogle County.

Bicyclists could choose from three riding routes, a 10-mile, 32-mile, and 62-mile. Riders started and finished their rides from the Village of Progress in Oregon.

Most riders left early in the morning to beat the day’s predicted heat.

“I think the record high temps may have kept some people away,” said Brooks. “The people who participated really enjoyed the event. We had some guys ride that came to the ride who were from other countries. It was kind of neat to have that international flair.”

According to the TŌSOC 2017 Facebook page, Dru Laws from Lake Mills, Wisconsin brought his business associates from Canada and South Africa to ride.

Seven-year-old Rachel Drew was doing her part to help riders keep their cool by handing out wet towelettes at the rest stop at the John Deere Historic Site in Grand Detour.

Riders were also offered orange slices, water, and baked goods from The Village Bakery.

“Our bakery had cookies and cupcakes available at the rest stops,” Brooks said.

A proposal for conceptual architectural services for an expansion of Focus House was narrowly approved the Ogle County Board last week.

The board approved the measure by a 11-10 vote after board member Pat Saunders, of Polo, voiced her disapproval for hiring Saavedra, Gehlhausen Architects, of Rockford, to do the work for $6,500.

Saunders said she would prefer another architect because SGA charged the county architectural fees to seal-coat a parking lot - a job, she said, that does not require an architect and could have

been done by the county engineer.

“I want the new dormitory, but I do not want this architectural firm,” she said.

“These people are milking us.”

SGA designed the Ogle County Public Safety Complex, built in 2015 to house the sheriff’s department, coroner’s office and morgue, and the 911 call center.

They were also involved in other county projects.

Focus House is a countyowned youth shelter-care facility operated by the Ogle County Probation Department.

Plans call for building a new dormitory to house both boys and girls at the site on Ill. 251 north of Rochelle.

Two community service organizations that are celebrating milestone anniversaries have been chosen as the Units of Honor at this year’s Harvest Time Parade.

The Ogle County Farm Bureau, which is marking its centennial, and Lifeline Food Pantry and Self Help Project, celebrating its 35th anniversary, will share the 2017 honors.

Leaders of both organizations were appreciative of receiving the recognition.

“We are gratified for the recognition as we celebrate our 100 years,” said Farm Bureau President Brian Duncan. “It’s a tribute to our members who have worked so hard for agriculture and a bright future.”

Lifeline Co-President Sharon Wallace said the honor came as a surprise.

“I think it’s nice, “ she said.

“I never expected it.”

The Farm Bureau got its start in Ogle County at an informal meeting of several farmers and businessmen in Byron shortly before the Farmers Institute was held on Dec. 10, 1915. A temporary organization was formed.

James Carmichael, president of the Ogle County Soil Improvement Association, called a meeting

Sheriff’s Arrests, B3 Social News, A4 Sports, B1, B2

on May 26, 1917 at the Ogle County Courthouse to create a permanent organization and elect its officers.

The decision was made to draft a constitution and bylaws.

Carmichael was elected president of the new organization with Frank D. Linn as vice president, C.S. Hass, secretary, and A.W. Brayton, treasurer.

Membership consisted of those who had pledged to contribute $10 per year for three years to support the organization.

The charter was signed on June 11, 1917.

“From a group of 38 men organized in 1917 to over 4,600 member families today the Farm Bureau in Ogle County has prospered,” said manager Ron Kern.

“It is special to realize that 100 years ago a group if individuals formed an organization to promote agriculture.

A century later, we’re still serving our purpose, meeting our mission, and helping farmers across Ogle County.”

The Ogle County Farm Bureau is headquartered at 421 W. Pines Rd., Oregon.

Lifeline, a not-for-profit food pantry and shop on the first floor of Conover Square, 201 N. Third St. in Oregon, is totally funded through donations and manned by volunteers.

It serves residents of Oregon, Chana, and the portion of Grand Detour that lies in Ogle County.

Zoning request is denied

By Zach Arbogast zarbogast@oglecounty news.com

citing concerns over poor maintenance of the house on the property and the garage’s bold colors.

“I appreciate your business, and the revenue you bring to the city, but I also understand the concerns of your neighbors,” said Commissioner Jim Barnes.

In other action, the council voted to approve another plan commission recommendation regarding the maintenance of residential parkways.

Going forward, residents will still be required to keep any grass and vegetation maintained and under six inches in length.

Barnes felt the ordinance was adding more things a citizen cannot do without permission.

“This is getting to be really too much government,” said Barnes. “It’s getting more like Chicago than it is Oregon.”

Mayor Ken Williams said the rule on length and maintenance was already the official code since the

time Barnes was mayor, up through his own term, and that it simply wasn’t being strongly enforced.

“This was in the code when you approved it - probably in the code before. So, this isn’t something we’re changing, it’s just something we’re saying, ‘it’s time to enforce it,’” said Williams.

The council also approved a vote to amend the code, removing item C, which stated a citizen can request a variance from the code.

“We’re not removing a citizen’s actual ability to request a variance - one can ask for a variance on anything,” said Williams.

“This is simply language that isn’t written into the other codes, and if we maintain it, we may run into a situation where we need to amend every other code to include it.”

Both the ordinance and the amendment passed with a 3-2 vote.

The council meets again on Oct. 10 at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall, 115 N 3rd St.

The Oregon City Council denied a zoning change for a property on South Fifth Street Tuesday night.

As per a Sept. 19 recommendation by the Plan Commission, the council voted 4-1 not to change the zoning from residential to commercial highway business district for a large garage located at 707 S. Fifth St., Oregon.

The garage was put up two years ago by Tom Hartnett, owner of TNT Motor Sales, 800 S. Fourth St., Oregon.

Dixon’s Peace Cannon has mysterious history 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, this time about a neighboring community.

By Otto Dick

A

n off-told tale in the Dixon vicinity concerns the disappearing Peace Cannon, which, it is hoped, will someday be re-mounted and reinstalled on the lawn of the Lee County Court House where it once stood for so many years.”

The cannon’s history goes back to 1856 when it was newly purchased from the Chicago Brass and Iron Co. for $125 to be used after a political speech by Abraham Lincoln on the lawn of the courthouse in endorsement of Gen. John C. Fremont, who at that time was running for president.

The Peace Cannon heralded many activities of both national and local importance; each Fourth of July would find the cannon being fired to celebrate the country’s birthday and it was used to announce to Dixon “

Those Were the Days returns Sept. 30

residents the election of Lincoln as President.

It was also later used to signal the start and end of the Civil War and to soberly announce the death of Mr. Lincoln.

The cannon, too, had a rather mixed political history as it set off many political processions and rallies for both major parties.

A story told concerns the time William Van Epps, a leading Democrat, and John T. Cheney, his Republican counterpart, exchanged angry words over the disappearance of the cannon after a Democratic political victory.

Dixon was in turmoil for several days after this exchange; each side accusing the other of having the cannon.

Of course, both sides also disclaimed any knowledge of having the Peace Cannon.

The mystery was solved, however when the cannon “just turned up one day” and both parties joined forces to buy powder for it.

Another tale told of the Peace Cannon had to do with the time Richmond fell to Union forces in the War Between the States.

Dixon gunners found that they had plenty of powder but were short on wadding,

By Chris Martin Those Were the Days will meet resume their Saturday morning sessions on Saturday, Sept. 30 at 10 a.m. at the Oregon Depot.

Marsha Behrens, a retired educator of the Oregon School District, will present the rebirth and history of

so everyone in the gathering crowd (except one man) stripped off their hats and coats and handed them over for wadding to properly fire the cannon in celebration.

One man happened to be wearing a brand new black stovepipe hat and he ran away before the crowd could get him to donate his hat for wadding.

Once the cannon was so overloaded with wadding and powder that the resultant blast shattered windows in the First Baptist Church across the street.

About this time the Peace Cannon disappeared again and wasn’t found until 1903 when two fishermen, W. D. Vann and Frances Coffey, pulled the battered remains from the Rock River.

It was then taken to City Hall for display and a few years later installed in John Dixon Park.

Some years after this the problem of children playing on the rock-mounted cannon caused it to be removed and the stone base hauled away.

In 1946, when once again conversations started about the exact location of the disappearing Peace Cannon, it was thought that the object had been rolled back from its permanent location and buried under about four feet Oregon’s Eagle’s Nest Art Group.

The rebirth of the organization took place in the 1950s in an effort spearheaded by my fourth grade teacher, Gertrude Cann, and my Lutheran church Sunday School teacher, Harry Nurmet.

of earth.

With the aid of a metal detecting device and probes, the cannon was soon found and uncovered.

The locally famous Peace Cannon, so named because it was never fired in anger, was returned to its first Dixon home, the Lee County

Courthouse lawn, and will serve as another reminder of the area’s rich historic past.

Today passing the Lee County Court House on Ill. 2, the Peace Cannon is located on the north courthouse lawn and the Wings of Peace statue is located across the street by the Dixon Theatre.

The Wings of Peace is a symbol of the ending of the Cold War while Ronald Reagan was President.

Mobile Hotspots What is a mobile hotspot? A mobile hotspot is a portable device or smartphone feature that provides Internet access on a variety of devices, including a laptop, smartphone, MP3 player, tablet, or portable gaming device.

Mobile hotspots function in much the same way as USB modems; they rely on mobile broadband service from a cellular provider.

These mobile hotspots allow you to take your laptops, tablets, cellphones with you and have access to the internet.

The Oregon Public Library would like to help make access to the internet a little easier and is now lending mobile hotspots to Oregon Public Library patrons.

The Library also has tablets that can be checked out as well.

session after the film.

“Prison Terminal: The Last Days of Private Jack Hall” draws from footage shot over a six-month period behind the walls of the Iowa State Penitentiary and provides a fascinating and often poignant account of how the hospice experience can profoundly touch even the forsaken lives of the incarcerated.

The film goes behind the walls of one of America’s oldest maximum security prisons to tell the story of the final months in the life of a terminally ill prisoner, Jack Hall, and the hospice volunteers, they themselves prisoners, who care for him.

Barens, the filmmaker, was granted unprecedented access to the prison and the prisoner during the filming of the documentary.

Since Hall was dying, Barens needed 24/7 access to him, which he was given.

In preparation for the filming, Barens attended a 14-week volunteer training program at his local hospice, which provided him with the knowledge to fully understand the needs of the terminally ill, and the duties of a hospice volunteer.

Nash Recreation Center will be closed on Saturday, Oct. 7. The parking lot will be utilized by the Autumn on Parade committee for handicap parking.

The Nash Recreation Center parking lot is located at 305 South 5th Street, Oregon.

“I took on the mission to document one of the few positive programs that exists today behind bars in hopes that other facilities will emulate the prisoner run hospice program and lessen the impact and instill much needed dignity to dying in prison for all concerned,” wrote Barens in his director’s statement.

The host of this free viewing of Barens’ academy nominated film is Serenity Hospice whose bereavement coordinator, Cathy Warren, helps train prisoner volunteers at the Dixon Correctional Center.

The film is 40 minutes long and will be followed by a discussion session with Barens.

The Oregon Elementary School is now in the fourth year of the I READ program.

The program is offered through the Literacy Council and United Way of Rock River Valley.

I READ utilizes community volunteers to practice reading with students one on one, once a week for 30 minutes.

Many of our volunteers will mentor the same child from kindergarten through third grade.

The goal is to assist students in reading at grade level by the completion of third grade and developing positive adult relationships.

The 2016-2017 school year had 29 volunteers working with 36 students.

Some volunteers will mentor more than one student.

We have volunteers of many ages. We have mothers and fathers with children in school, senior citizens, couples that come in together

all sharing their time and love of reading with kids.

Fourth grade reading proficiency is a critical factor in academic success. Until the end of third grade, most students are learning to read.

Beginning in fourth grade, however, students begin reading to learn.

National studies find that students who did not read at or above level by third grade were four times to not earn a high school diploma.

Volunteers do not require any specialized training, simply a desire to help a student improve their reading skills.

The program runs throughout the school year.

There are volunteers that vacation over the winter months. This is acceptable in the program.

Any interaction between students and mentors brings positive results.

Our goal is to increase our number of volunteers this year to 40.

For more information please call me at 815-9732180.

Two Ogle County Master Gardeners receive awards

By Sandy Mason State Master Gardener Coordinator Master Gardeners are trained volunteers who build and enhance their community through gardening.

In 2016, Illinois had 2,834 active members, 470 people completed the 60 hours of internship training. Of the 102 counties in Illinois 76 have Master Gardener programs.

On Sept. 8 two local Master Gardeners achieved the Outstanding Master Gardener Award.

Leah Patapack, Oregon and Randy Calvert, Stillman Valley received the prestigious award at the Illinois Master Gardener Conference held in Normal.

Only 36 individuals received this award throughout the state of Illinois.

To be considered to receive the Outstanding Master Gardener award a Master Gardener must go above and beyond in his/her volunteer leadership roles, exhibit qualities of a good leader, identify needs and generate new educational project ideas, enhance service to the public, collaborations, actively sought out continuing education opportunities, find ways to share their knowledge.

Leah Patapack, completed her Master Gardener training in 2011 and has given 520 volunteer service hours

beyond the 60 hour internship she also completed 85 continuing education hours.

She is a great listener and gives a smart response to the question or conversation.

She is excellent at directing people and keeping them on task with a kind and patient approach.

Patapack is well organized and has the necessary materials for various projects.

If she does not have specific materials, she will create them.

For example, in the Jr. Master Gardener programs we offered a “Growing UP� garden. she created a very unique trellis that will help to inspire the participants to ask questions and think outside of the “box�.

Patapack is a friendly and familiar face to the JMG participants. She excels at connecting the participants with the program. Leah is engaging, light-hearted and structured.

She easily gains the trust of the youth, which encourages their capacity to learn and be excited to watch plants grow.

Leah works very hard, she has a full time job along with giving over a 100 volunteer hours not just in 2016 but the last several years.

Randy Calvert completed his Master Gardener training in 2004 and has given 657 volunteer service hours beyond the 60 hour internship he also completed 235 continuing education hours.

He is sought out by other Master Gardeners for his input and advice. Randy processes the information and evaluates options before suggesting actions. He is generous, steady, dedicated and kind in his leadership style.

Calvert is committed to excellence in everything he does. He is passionate and knowledgeable about gardening. He has the ability to give good direction and works well with all age groups.

Ogle County Master Gardeners Randy Calvert and Leah Patapack received Outstanding Calvert took the leadership Master Gardener Awards at the Master Gardener Conference. Photo supplied role to design, develop and deliver lessons on the Heritage Farm Gardens, which took place in 2013 and 2014.

He also took the leadership role as Hotline Coordinator in 2016. Calvert has a personal approach to garden related questions while also using advanced technology to get results. In this role, he managed the calendar ensuring that all dates were covered.

Habitat for Humanity was building a home in Mt. Morris. The Ogle County Extension office was contacted for assistance; Calvert stepped up and met on site with the new homeowner. Calvert helped the homeowner through the process by drawing up designs for a home garden.

Working together, they developed a design that was workable and affordable.

Etnyre makes a larger tumbler for AOP’s 60/40 The Autumn on Parade festival has a new, larger tumbler for its 60/40 raffle this year thanks to the generosity of a local manufacturing company.

Employees of the E.D. Etnyre Company presented AOP committee member Dave Boehle with the new tumbler last week.

“I just love it. Thank you,” said Boehle.

Boehle contacted the company about making a new tumbler after the festival outgrew its old one last year.

Etnyre Production Engineer Eric Carreon designed the new tumbler.

“They just gave me the size they needed and gave me the leash to design it,” he said. “It took about a week to design.”

The tumbler is made of stainless steel and regular steel. “It should last quite a long while,” said Carreon.

Etnyre Lab Technician Nate Linbom crafted the

tumbler from Carreon’s design.

“We made sure to touch it up so it didn’t get scraped,” he said. “Our paint department did the painting. They chose fall colors.”

The tumbler, estimated to cost around $1,200, has Autumn on Parade and leaves etched into it at each end with Etnyre’s logo at the bottom.

Autumn on Parade will be held Oct. 7-8 in Oregon.

The 60/40 raffle is one of the scheduled events.

Last year’s raffle winner took home $10,170 when her winning ticket was pulled from the tumbler.

“We bought almost twice as many tickets as last year, so if we sell out someone will be winning close to $20,000,” Boehle said.

This year’s winning ticket will be drawn on Sunday, Oct., 8 after the Harvest Time Parade.

Tickets cost $5 for book of six and can be purchased from any Autumn on Parade Committee member or these businesses prior to the festival: Stillman Bank (Oregon location), Harvard Bank (Oregon location), Joanne’s Total Image Salon, Snyders, Chili Pepper, Messies, Breakers, Jays, Red Stone Salon & Spa, Pepper Mill, Kunes Country, Merlin’s, Shell, and Chana Tap. “If your favorite business sells the winning ticket they will win a cash prize that comes out of our 40%.

So please support Autumn on Parade and our local businesses,” said Boehle.

Tickets will also be sold the weekend of Autumn on Parade by committee volunteers.

The winner does not have to be present to win.

Proceeds from the sale of the raffle benefit the festival.

Now is the time to start growing great garlic

By Grant McCarty Local Foods and Small Farm Educator University of Illinois Extension Attending the Midwest Garlic Fest in Elizabeth, Illinois, I was reminded yet again of the wide range of varieties grown by many growers in Northern Illinois.

Many of these varieties are unique in their flavor and heat.

I also, inevitably, get the phone call in the spring asking if you can plant garlic now and unfortunately, it is too late.

While many other members of the allium family (onions, scallion, leek, and chive) are planted in the spring, garlic is the one member that needs to be planted in the fall.

So let this be a reminder to you now: Plant Your Garlic in the Next 4 Weeks When to Plant: Garlic should be planted September to mid-October.

Even if you plant the first week of September and mulch (more to come), you may get some green growth from the garlic and need to add more mulch on top of this to keep the green tips from being exposed in the winter.

What to Plant Each clove will become a head of garlic. You want hardneck type as these perform well in northern Illinois.

You might try softneck varieties but know that you may not have some success with them if our winters are very cold. Avoid grocery store garlic. This is commonly a softneck variety.

Hardneck varieties that have been recommended are ‘Spanish Roja’, ‘Carpathian’, ‘Georgian Crystal’, and many others. Drew Groezinger, a grower in Jo Daviess County, recommended to me ‘German Porcelain’, ‘Chrysalis Purple’, and ‘Red Chesnok’.

Visit a farmers market in your area and talk to the growers there.

If you purchase a head of garlic from them, these cloves can be planted in your garden this fall.

Home and garden stores will also sometimes have garlic available to be planted.

How Much to Plant A homeowner asked me the other day how much garlic does one family need and much of it depends on your cooking style.

A hardneck variety may have between 9-10 cloves in

a head and if you are cooking 3-4 times a week and using 1-2 cloves each week, you may find that you are using one head of garlic a week.

In my family, this is pretty normal.

Where to Plant Garlic needs a weed free area. You might also consider devoting an area of your garden bed to growing the garlic each year.

I’ve not tried to grow garlic in containers although I imagine if you provide the garlic with the right growing media, good drainage, and mulch, you might be able to have some good yields from the garlic.

How to Plant Garlic should be planted twice the size of the clove with spacing 6-8 inches between. One clove will equal one head of garlic.

You need to mulch. A good mulch layer of 6-8 inches is needed to provide good insulation for the garlic as it develops. You may find that you need to keep laying this down in months to come for next year. Straw, leaves, and other mixtures are your best bet.

Your garlic will be ready next June and I’ll be giving you a report in May as to how to harvest, store, and cure your garlic.

This fall, I plan to grow garlic in containers to see how it does.

Two OHS players commit to play at D1 colleges

By Adam Feiner afeiner@saukvalley.com College commitments can be a tough process for high schoolers to handle, especially when Division I schools are involved.

Gylian Finch and Bailey Nelson didn’t feel as much pressure as others might, knowing they had each other on the volleyball court for Oregon and their Club Fusion team.

Last April, Finch, then a junior, verbally committed to the University of TennesseeChattanooga in the middle of the club season. Just 2 weeks ago, Nelson, a current junior, made her verbal commitment to DePaul.

And while they were plenty happy to make their announcements, they were more excited for each other’s choices.

“She told me she was close to committing,” Nelson said. “I was super-happy and proud when she told me she was going to a D-I school.

But then I realized I needed to step up and find a good school for me, too.”

“I was super-pumped,” Finch said of Nelson’s decision. “I came into the locker room jumping up and down telling her I was happy for her.”

A common aspiration for almost all high school athletes is to go to a Division I school on scholarship to play their favorite sport, and Club

Fusion was a unique chance for both outside hitters to showcase their skills on a high-level platform.

“The whole point of that was playing and getting a scholarship in college,” Nelson said. “Once I started going to the big tournaments and seeing all the college recruiters, I knew this was something I wanted to do.”

“In tryouts, we both made the top team, and when that happened, I thought, ‘Maybe I am good enough,’” Finch said.

While both Finch and Nelson realized they wanted to continue volleyball in college during their high school years, Oregon coach and Finch’s former babysitter Faith McNamee knew both had what it took to garner attention.

“I knew before they even got to high school that they had a lot of talent,” McNamee said. “But even more than talent, they work extremely hard. It was very obvious. I think no matter what sport they chose, they would’ve excelled because they’re hard workers.”

Finch said she chose Chattanooga because she wanted to get out of Illinois, and fell in love with the campus the first time she ever stepped foot in southeastern Tennessee. She received other Division I offers from Wofford and South Dakota State, and a Division II offer from Lewis University, but

will sign her National Letter of Intent to play for the Mocs in November.

“It was a huge relief,” Finch said. “I didn’t have to worry about communicating with recruiters. I was just telling them I was committed.”

Nelson has been in contact with the coaching staff at DePaul since her freshman year at Oregon, and is deadset on heading to Chicago in the fall of 2019.

She fielded a D-I offer from Davidson, and would

have received another from Marist College in New York had she gone to visit campus.

An open and honest Blue Demon coaching staff, paired with the fact that campus is away from home but not too far, has Nelson locked into DePaul.

“I don’t think the feeling is going to set in until this club season when I don’t have to worry about reaching out to coaches,” Nelson said. “I’m very at peace with my whole volleyball world right now.”

Neither Hawk feels any pressure to be anything other than the best versions of themselves for Oregon to succeed.

A team-first attitude makes it easy on their teammates and the coaching staff to just play – hopefully deep into the postseason.

“They’re both very knowledgeable about the game. What I could see being a challenge is that they think they know more than the coaches. But neither

of them have acted like they know more than us,” McNamee said. “We’ve found areas to help Bailey and Gylian improve. It’s been fun finding things for them to improve on.”

“I think it would be awesome to make it to a supersectional or state,” Nelson said. “But we don’t feel pressure because we know everyone on the team values each other. We’re a team, it’s not just about us.”

Hawks score first, but fall to Winnebago 58-30 on the road

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Oregon’s football team fell to 1-4 on the year after a 58-30 loss on the road at the hands of Winnebago.

Efficiently moving the ball on their first drive, Oregon took a 7-0 lead with less than three minutes gone in the game.

Savian Hernandez capped off things off with a 17-yard touchdown run and Jared Pottorff kicked the extra point.

“That was a high for us - scoring right off the bat,” Oregon coach Nick Schneiderman said. “We finally put together a pretty good game on the ground.”

Unfortunately, the faststriking Indians reeled off 30 unanswered points.

“Winnebago has a lot of firepower and came right back,” Schneiderman said.

“They have some very good athletes.”

On its second series, the Hawks put another decent drive together and faced fourth-and-2 just outside the red zone, but came up six inches short.

“If we make that, I

think we score and maybe it’s a different game,” Schneiderman said.

Jared Roberts had a 1-yard touchdown run and top receiver Kenzell Jones burned the Hawks on a 50-yard scoring pass from Bryce Bryden.

Oregon was still able to move the ball, but mistakes caught up with them again.

Early in the second quarter, Jared Roberts picked up a Hawk fumble in mid air and went 37 yards untouched to the end zone. Then Jones (6for-111 receiving) got free again and raced 58 yards for a second scoring reception.

On the ensuing kickoff, Hernadez excited the Hawk fans with an 88-yard return for touchdown, keeping it a 2-score game.

Winnebago pulled ahead 44-14 in the third quarter, but Oregon made them a bit nervous by closing to within 44-30 with plenty of time left in the game.

Dalton Hermes had a 3-yard touchdown run and Chase Prehn added a 2-point conversion.

“Our kids never gave up. They never do,” Schneiderman said. “We tried an onside kick but

didn’t execute it.”

Oregon had an impressive total of 314 yards, with 268 coming on the ground. Prehn and Hermes both had over 100 yards each. The Hawks had 19 first downs compared to 17 for ‘Bago.

“Without a doubt, it was our best offensive performance of the year,” Schneiderman said.

After struggles earlier this season in the passing game, the Hawks had limited success with Calvin Sullivan competing three of six passes for 46 yards.

Hernandez was the main target with two catches for 39 yards. He also had the game’s only interception.

“We’re willing to throw the ball,” Schneiderman said.

“But, we need a good feel for what the defense is doing.

There is an opportunity to capitalize on passing when we are moving the ball.”

Undefeated Byron on Friday Oregon hosts state-ranked and undefeated Byron this week for homecoming.

“It’s a huge test for us,” Schneiderman said.

“They have size, speed and numbers.”

Against ‘Bago, Oregon was without Jeff Gracyalny, Jacob Hoyle, Jacob Cullen and Bobby Youngren. Hoyle will be back for sure and the other three are hopefuls.

Byron and Dixon are

tied for the lead in the Big Northern with 5-0 records.

Winnebago and GenoaKingston are next with one loss.

Surprisingly, Rockford Lutheran remains the only

team in the conference without a win, falling to previously winless Mendota.

And, Stillman Valley (1-4) lost to Genoa-Kingston 35-0, making their playoff chances slim.

DLR seventh graders had a busy volleyball week It was a busy week of volleyball for the seventh graders from David L Rahn Junior High.

On Monday, the Eagles hosted Rock Falls in a nonconference contest. In game one, the Eagles served well in the 25-19 win. Elizabeth Mois paced DLR with five service points.

The Eagle’s good play continued in game two as they picked up the 25-19 victory.

Sports Column State tourneys should prove interesting

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com We are at the midway point of the season for high school sports with regional/sectionals set up, football conference races narrowed down and golf already playing conference tournaments.

Volleyball could be quite interesting with Oregon named to host a sectional for the first time since 2009.

Not only that, but the Hawks are the highest-ranked 2A team (10th by MaxPreps) of the 22 assembled in the two subsectionals.

If Oregon can manage a win over Lutheran on Thursday, not only will they solidify its chances to win the BNC, but it will given them a clear shot at the No.

1 subsectional seed.

There is no lack of talent in this subsectional, including No. 12 Galena, No. 25 Forreston, along with perennial power Dakota and aforementioned Lutheran.

In the other subsectional, which is considerably weaker, No. 20 Orion looks like the team to beat.

If Oregon can make it to the sectional, lets hope the student section and general public can give the Blackhawk Center a raucous welcoming for the home team.

Even with a winning team, volleyball games haven’t had much of a fan atmosphere to them.

With all the competition in the sectional complex, the supersectional might be an easier task, with many very bad teams coming from the Chicago-area sectional that feeds in. And, I mean really bad.

But, there should at least be one or two teams, like Elgin Harvest Academy

last year, capable of playing on the same level of schools for the Oregon sectional.

Coincidentally, Elgin Harvest will host the subsectional.

Oregon (5-10-2 record) hosts a soccer regional and will likely need to get past Rockford Christian, a team they lost earlier in the year.

The team, which is 2-5 in conference, closes out regular season play with three road games this week and next before coming back to Park West for the regional.

Tough golf sectional Of any fall sport, golfers from Forreston, Oregon and Polo may have the toughest post-season task, trying to get out of the Rockford Christian Life sectional, usually the toughest in the state.

Besides the private suburban schools, there is Port Byron Riverdale, capable of shooting close to par and its star Tyler Bussert who shoots under par.

It been several years since Oregon sent a boys or girl runner downstate in cross country, but look for both team to advance to the sectional, being held at its traditional site at Park West.

Here is an observation about cross country at Oregon high school. Of any sport the school offers, it seems to be the one kids have the most fun, devoid of drama or petty differences.

Credit to coaches Tim and Lori Gipper for making cross country something kids enjoy being a part of and being good teammates with one another. There is not that cutthroat element of competition often found in other sports.

Marcos must beat River Ridge On the football beat, Polo faces a must win against River Ridge this week.

The Marcos (3-2) still have Stockton, AFC and EPC. With a projected 40 playoff points, Polo will have no

problem getting into the playoffs with a 5-4 record, but it will make it much easier not having the added pressure to beat both AFC and Stockton back-to-back to get there, figuring in an EPC loss.

Lena-Winslow pretty much locked down the Northwest division title with a decisive win over EPC. A big question in that division is what happened with Galena?

A once proud program, which came within inches of knocking the 2014 Forreston state champs out of the playoffs, is a shell of its former self.

There had been some discipline issues the following year and one has to wonder how a program like that could be 0-5, including ugly losses along the way.

Though Oregon comes into its game against powerful Byron without a win in conference play, that shouldn’t diminish the enjoyment the student body,

Andy Colbert

fans and players have over homecoming week.

Credit to this kids that are out for football and don’t expect them to back down against the Tigers.

And, Byron’s Jeff Boyer is a classy coach who will not pile it up on Oregon either.

No matter what the outcome is on Friday, may both schools have a bunch of fun.

Dr. Clifford E. Knapp, 78, of Oregon, husband of Nancy Churchill, passed away unexpectedly Sunday, Sept. 17, 2017.

He was born in New Jersey, son of the late Edward and Louise Knapp of Ridgefield, New Jersey, where he grew up.

Cliff was a pioneer in the field of outdoor education.

He received his PhD at Southern Illinois University before becoming director at Northern Illinois University’s Lorado Taft Field Campus,

Oregon, in 1980.

After serving in that role for three years, he continued as professor in the Outdoor Teacher Education program until he retired in 2001.

He was teacher, mentor and friend to many grad students from all over the world pursuing degrees in Outdoor Teacher Education at Lorado Taft.

His deep devotion to Indian Country at Waswagoning on the Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin Reservation prompted many of his students to follow similar

paths through the Taft Native Colloquiums.

Cliff never lost his sense of wonder or energy in studying nature and human interaction with nature, giving workshops throughout retirement across the country and abroad, authoring and co-authoring numerous books and articles right up to the end.

He was looking forward to healing so he could edit his forthcoming book one last time: “Blazing Trails: Early Naturalists Connecting with Nature.”

Cliff was a beacon in his field, and will be dearly missed.

He is survived by his wife; sister, Mary Louise Spivak of Vermont; his brother, Steven (Jackie) Knapp, of New Jersey; three daughters, Dawn Martel, of Lombard, Eve Knapp, of Ferndale, Maryland, and Jenny (Scott) Franz, of Lombard; seven grandchildren: Cindy (Adam) Ward, Shawn Culhane, Eric Vooys, Shannon Vooys, Cory Martel, Ryan Franz, and Lucy Franz; and two great

Rev. Stralow pastored two churches in Michigan - First Reformed Church in Ravenna from 1968-1975, and Rehoboth Reformed in Lucas from 1976-1982.

Until his retirement in 2009, he pastored the Reformed Church in Forreston for 27 years.

Through the years he served at various times as Classis president, vice president, and clerk.

He volunteered on two fire departments, the last one being in Forreston where he was the chaplain and

secretary-treasurer.

He also was a parttime volunteer chaplain at Freeport Memorial Hospital for several years.

He enjoyed gardening, singing, and attending his grandchildren’s school activities and sporting events.

His hobbies included reading and jigsaw puzzles.

He is survived by his wife, JoAnn; three children, David (Debbie) Stralow, of Cadillac, Michigan, Dan (Ange) Stralow, of Baileyville, and Deb (Greg) Dyson, of Forreston; six

grandchildren, Andrew Travis, Kaia and Hayden Stralow, Jordan (Syra) Maraj, and Logan Dyson; two step-grandsons, Sean and Ryan Weeks; two sisters, Mary Sue (Arlyn) VanderEide, of Garden Plain, and Linda (Dan) Hoogheem, of Mohawk, New York; and one brother, John (Ginny) Stralow, of Pella, Iowa.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, Sept.

26 at 10:30 a.m. at Silver Creek Reformed Church,

326 S. Bunker Hill Rd., German Valley, with Rev. Grant Mulder and Rev. Ken Zuithoff officiating.

NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS

Public Notice

2017 Assessment Publication List

This will affect your 2017 real estate taxes

Following is a list of all property assessment changes made by the township assessor, and/or approved or revised by the supervisor of assessments of Ogle County.

Under the authority of 35 ILCS 200/9-210 (Illinois Compiled Statutes), notice is hereby given that the following equalization factors (or “multipliers”) have been applied to certain categories of properties in the Ogle County townships listed below:

Notice is also given pursuant to 35 ILCS 200/9-210 that equalization factors (or ‘multipliers’) may be added to non-farm classes of property to bring each township’s three-year average level of assessments to 33 1/3% of market value. Township equalization factors are determined by the Illinois Department of Revenue’s sales ratio study for Ogle County. Sale prices of real estate are compared to their assessed values, and the resulting assessment levels are calculated. Changes by the township assessor are taken into account, and the equalization factors determined bring the township average to the statutory 33 1/3% of market value. Pursuant to Public Act 88-321, individual notices will not be sent on properties with assessment changes due to equalization alone.

For all non-farm property: Your property is to be assessed at the median level of assessments for your township. You may check the accuracy of your assessment by dividing your assessed value by the median level of assessments. The resulting value should equal the estimated fair cash value of your property. If the resulting value is greater than the estimated fair cash value of your property, you may be over-assessed. If the resulting value is less than the fair cash value of your property, you may be under-assessed. Assessments of non-farm property are required to be at 33 1/3% of fair cash value. The assessed values shown are subject to revision and/or equalization by the Ogle County Board of Review and the Illinois Department of Revenue.

Farmland assessments: Assessed values of farmland for 2017 conform to the Illinois Department of Revenue’s “Certified Values for Assessment Year 2017”, and are based on “Bulletin 810” soil data and productivity ratings.

Your township assessor can provide details on how your assessed value was determined. Taxpayers who consider their property incorrectly assessed may appeal their assessments to the Ogle County Board of Review, Ogle County Courthouse, Oregon, IL. All appeals must be filed with the Ogle County Board of Review within 30 days of the date of this publication. These 2017 assessed values will be reflected on real estate tax bills issued in 2018. If you believe your assessed value is incorrect, you must file appeal within this 30 day period to have any effect on your next tax bill. The deadline to file appeal is October 30, 2017.

Brookville/Forreston 1.0243 Buffalo/Eagle Point/Woosung 1.0493 Byron 1.0187 Flagg 1.0282 Grand Detour/Pine Creek 1.0215 Lafayette/Pine Rock/Taylor 1.0104 Marion 1.0000 Mt.

Pursuant to Public Act 88-321, individual notices will not be mailed on properties with assessment changes due to equalization alone. The factors shown are determined by the Illinois Department of Revenue’s most recent sales-to-assessment ratio study, and take into consideration any assessment changes made by the assessor. These factors bring the average assessment level in the townships to 33 1/3% of market value, and they will be applied to certain categories of assessed value. If you believe your property is over-assessed, you may file an appeal within 30 days of this publication. The deadline to file an appeal of the 2017 assessment is October 30, 2017.
