Gas leak prompts shut down

AOP offers fun for family

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com A natural gas leak in the basement of a building in the 400 block of West Washington Street in Oregon prompted emergency personnel to evacuate one full city block on Tuesday as workers from Nicor Gas tried to cap the leak.

A contractor working in the basement of the building at 408 W. Washington St., accidentally cut the gas line.

By late afternoon, the leak had been repaired and residents and businesses were getting back to normal.

“The gas leak has been stooped and they’re venting the building,” Oregon Police Chief Darin DeHaan said at 5:30 p.m. “The good thing is we had a strong Turn to A2

Guests solve “murder” at Stronghold Trixie Biltwell’s left had gave her away

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Solving the murder of a newspaper reporter who was just too nosy occupied guests at Stronghold Castle’s firstever Murder Mystery Dinner over the weekend.

As it turned out only one group of eight guest sleuths picked the right person — Miss Trixie Biltwell, whose left-handedness gave her away.

The event was held on Friday evening and again on Sunday afternoon at the castle on Ill. 2 north of Oregon and was attended by more than 80 people.

Rose Thomas, of Oregon, was in the group who figured it all out on Sunday afternoon.

Set in the 1920s, the crime

scenario was that Drew Calloway, the reporter, was found dead in the castle of a blow to the head.

“We had a picture of the dead man with an injury to his head,” Thomas said.

“One of the men in our group figured out that only a lefthanded person could have done it.”

And as Biltwell’s luck would have it, she was the only left-hander out of the eight suspects, including castle owners Walter and Josephine Strong and their houseguests.

Ray Farrey, of Oregon, said no one figured out the whodunit at Friday’s session.

“Nobody picked the murderer,” he said laughing.

“Everyone picked the wrong person.”

For both sessions, dinner guests were divided into tables of eight and introduced to the suspects, Mr. Michael Donaghy, an Illinois State Senator; Miss Heddy L’Amour, Kit Kat Club performer; Mr. Walter

In This Week’s Edition...

Strong, publisher of the Chicago Daily News; Mrs. Josephine Strong, socialite wife of Mr. Strong; Mrs. Connie Canariatto, mob wife of Donnie “Two Scoops” Canariatto; Miss Belle Boudoir, manager of the Kit Kat Club; and Biltwell, a Kit Kat Club performer.

The suspects, who were all played by actors from the Northern Illinois Players Troupe, then went to different rooms in the castle where the groups of guests followed to hear what they had to say.

“Each one gave an explanation of what happened,” Thomas said.

“They also tried to cast suspicion on the other suspects.”

“We listened to their spiels but couldn’t ask questions until later,” Farrey said.

Boudoir said Calloway asked too many questions.

“People were upset with his nosing around,” she said.

“But I don’t know anything — I just met him tonight.”

Walter Strong, she said,

Church News, A5 Classifieds, B5-B8 Entertainment, A6 Library News, A3

had bought the Kit Kat Club for her because she was a single woman and needed a way to support herself.

She described the club as a place where customers could “unwind and enjoy entertainment.”

Josephine Strong had

harsh words for Boudoir.

“I only invited Belle out of obligation. I didn’t think she would really come,” she said.

Canariatto, however, wasn’t keen on Josephine Strong, whose family, she said, claimed to be in the oil Turn to A2

Handmade craft items, a parade, and lots of food are just three of the attractions awaiting visitors to Oregon’s Autumn on Parade festival Oct. 7-8.

“We have new crafters, new parade entries, and plenty for kids and families to do,” said AOP Committee President Marseyne Snow. “Hopefully the weather holds out, and it looks like it will.”

The festival, which started with a handful of vendors selling bittersweet and apples in 1970, is celebrating its 47th anniversary this year.

It continues to be organized and run by an all-volunteer committee and is funded through sponsorships, donations, booth fees, and food court revenues.

The heart of the festival is the Farmer’s Market and Craft Fair that features upwards of 190 vendors selling a variety of arts and crafts ranging from handmade wood items to homemade baked breads.

“We have lots of homemade and homegrown items for sale,” Snow said.

Ornamental produce, painted items, jewelry, soaps, candles, antiques, and seasonal items are just a few of the hundreds of items that can be found throughout the craft show.

Booths are located around the lawn of the historic Ogle County Courthouse and surrounding streets. There is no charge for admission.

Paddlewheel boat rides on the scenic Rock River are offered for the first time this year.

“Maxson’s is offering sight-seeing tours on the Pride of Oregon at several different times on Saturday,” Snow said.

Visitors to Autumn on Parade can also partake of a variety of scrumptious treats in the Food Court where local not-for-profit organizations prepare their specialties each year.

Apple fritters, pork chop and ribeye sandwiches, funnel cakes, bratwurst, and gyros are just some of the items offered by service agencies and clubs from Oregon and Ogle County.

A new taste treat this year is a biscuits and gravy breakfast on Sunday morning served

Leak caused evacuations From A1 wind today so the gas quickly dissipated.”

As the building filled with gas, firefighters asked police to clear the one-block area as a precaution.

Businesses in the 100 block of North Fourth Street (Ill. 2) and 400 block of West Washington (Ill. 64) were also evacuated around 11:28 a.m.

Motorists were detoured around the one-block area and sidewalks were also closed to pedestrians.

Jonathan Champion was upstairs in his apartment with his two dogs at 408 1/2 W. Washington St. when a business operator alerted him to the leak.

“The lady from the antique store came up and told us we needed to be evacuated. I was running around chasing the dogs to get them,” Champion said. “I smelled a little of the gas after she told me there was a gas leak.”

Champion moved his two dogs, Lola and Graham, outside and into his car in the North Fifth Street parking lot as Oregon firefighters waited for workers from Nicor Gas to come and stop the leak.

The first worker for Nicor to arrive tried to find the

shut off for the leaking pipe, but could not prompting additional Nicor workers to respond and eventually use a Ditch Witch to find the gas main that services that building.

The Oregon School District was notified by Oregon police of a gas leak in the downtown area.

The district notified all school buildings and the transportation department to plan alternatives routes for transporting students at the end of the day.

“City police are aware of potential student walkers and have the area heavily blocked off to re-route students home,” a press release issued by the school district said.

A Nicor Gas spokesperson said the line was cut by a

If you love a parade, you should love Autumn on Parade’s Harvest Time Parade, slated for Sunday, Oct. 8.

The theme for this year’s parade is “Music Then and Now”.

“We chose this theme so we can showcase different genres of music for a variety of ages. It is always fun to see how the entrants embrace the theme each year and create entertaining parade entries. I’m sure this year will be no exception,” said Marseyne Snow, chairman of the parade.

The ever-popular South Shore Drill Team and the Jesse White Tumblers have been booked for the event.

Back again this year is a post parade show by the crowdpleasing South Shore Drill Team. The post parade show will be held on Jefferson Street in front of the Oregon library.

Other parade entries include the Elite Striders, YAVO Marching Panthers, Royal Airs, Sinful Saints Dixieland Band, a rocket cycle, antique bicycles, stilt walkers, a bubble buggy, circus wagon, antique tractors, 4-H youth groups, shrine clubs, commercial entries and many more.

“We’re anticipating parade entrants will make this year’s Harvest Time Parade one of the most memorable. We are excited to watch and listen to music from then and now,” said Snow.

The parade begins at 1 p.m. on Sunday and travels through downtown Oregon.

Additional Autumn on Parade events include: Olde English Faire at Stronghold Castle (admission fee); 60/40 raffle, a Fun Zone for kids, a car and tractor show, tours of the Chana School, a donut eating contest, rides on the Pride of Oregon

paddlewheel, and a 5K and Fun Run on Sunday morning prior to the Harvest Time Parade.

Admission is charged for the Olde English Faire and wristbands are needed for the Fun Zone. There is a special reduced festival rate for the Pride of Oregon paddlewheel boat rides.

third party contractor during construction work. She said Nicor received the report at 11:48 a.m.

Oregon Assistant Fire Chief Randy Travis said firefighters were preparing to leave the scene around 5:45 p.m.

However, the Nicor crew would remain there for another 4 to 5 hours, he said, digging to find the line where it enters the building to put a shut-off valve in it.

They had already put in one shut-off valve, stopping the leak.

Travis said the severed gas line was apparently abandoned, but still had gas running through it due to the Jessica MacDonald, as Connie Canaiatto, wife of a gangster, tells what she knows lack of shut-offs. about a homicide Friday evening at the Murder Mystery Dinner.

“Murder” solved at Stronghold From A1 business, but really traded in Possum’s Prevention Potion — “very low class,” she opined with a knowing look.

She also showed little sadness over Calloway’s untimely passing.

“That Drew guy had it coming,” Canariatto said.

“He was onto Donnie and

me. He knew we wanted to rise to the top of the Capone family.”

One guest from each table could pose questions to the suspects when everyone reassembled back in the dining room.

It was then that Thomas’ table uncovered that Biltwell was the lone left-hander.

Both Farrey and Thomas enjoyed the experience.

“I was not what I expected,” Thomas said. “It was different and it was fun.”

“We definitely enjoyed it,” said Farrey, who attended with his wife. “All the people who were there had a really good time. It just adds more to the community.”

Country schools offered the “3Rs” and more 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 Little School is Gone

By Wilbur J. Pickering Former Superintendent of Ogle County Schools “Readin, Ritin, and Rithmetic taught to the tune of the hickory stick.”

These were the school days in Ogle County and the Oregon area many years ago, when the teacher was little better educated than his pupils and the biggest concern was order.

Of course, the school wasn’t exactly built to make teaching easy, with all of the grades crowded into one room, two at a desk if they were fortunate enough to have desks.

Often the best that would be had was a square room with benches around the four walls which were moved in closer to the pot-bellied stove in the winter so that the teachers and pupils could keep warm.

Those were the days when

progressive education was a schoolroom equipped with a world globe and a teacher who had given up flogging.

Pupils weren’t passed from one grade to the next, but from one reader to another more difficult and recited with the group that was on his level.

Ironical as this may seem, some of the most progressive educators in this century are now adopting method and calling it the ungraded classroom.

So these early schools did have their good features.

Sums were the bugaboo of the wide-eyed, pigtailed little girls in calico dresses who stood shivering, chalk in damp palm, before that monstrous blank space of a blackboard where they were expected to add up rows of figures and get the correct answers, while the barefoot freckled faced boys, hands dug deep into already crowded pockets, could never get beyond that awful poem.

In these schools of many years ago, going out to bring in a pail of fresh water was an honor accorded only to the best students, not a means of punishment or a device to keep restless pupils out of more mischief, as it would be today.

The most feared of all

school days was the one on which the inspector or county superintendent came.

He would ask sharp questions of the pupils, examine their work and listen to them recite.

Everyone felt greatly relieved when he departed from his only visit of the year.

Not all school work was drudgery however, as many activities such as spelling bees and ciphering matches enlivened the days.

The one-room school played a major part in the education of the boys and girls of this community and the State of Illinois.

In the early 1930s more than one-half received their education in the little one-

room school house.

The passing of the Survey Act of 1945 was the beginning of the end of these schools.

The last country schools in Ogle County closed their doors in 1956.

It should be mentioned here that many of these

schools were well taught by master teachers who were dedicated to their jobs and set a good example for their pupils to follow.

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. So if you are going on a out-of-town and would like to have access to the web or email, stop by or call (815732-2724) the library for more information.

PAG to present “Way Home� at Pinecrest Grove The Performing Arts Guild of Mt. Morris will present the world premiere musical performance of “The Way Home� at the Pinecrest Grove Theatre at the Pinecrest Grove Community Center.

The performance dates are Nov. 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, and 19. Times are 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 p.m. on Sundays.

This production is based on the story of the Prodigal Son. The playwright and one of the last century’s leading Donald and Towner Reed stand in front of Taft’s Fish Boys fountain that was restored by the father, daughter team hymn writers, the late Dr. Rev. Herb Brokering, is this year. The fountain is located in Mix Park in Oregon. Photo supplied recognized for his telling and retelling of biblical scriptures and contemporary theological work.

Father, daughter restore Taft’s work Reeds repair Fish Boys at Mix Park

The Oregon Park District recently commissioned the father-daughter team of Towner K. Reed and Donald L. Reed to restore Lorado Taft’s “Fish Boys� fountain at Mix Park. “Fish Boys� fountain is one of Lorado Taft’s creations and is more than 100 years old.

The “Fish Boys� was a template and materials test for Taft’s “Fountain of Time� at the Art Institute of Chicago.

In the early 1970s the sculptures were slated by the City of Oregon to be bulldozed. However, because of Donald L. Reed’s extensive knowledge of Taft’s work and his earnestness to preserve Taft’s legacy, the figures were restored by Reed in the 70s.

The Oregon Park District had been researching options for restoration when Donald Reed and his daughter Towner reached out.

The $12,000 restoration of the “Fish Boys� spanned over 30 days from August to September of 2017. The sculptures had seen years of wear due to elements.

Originally surveying the figures, the pair targeted 26 major sites in need of attention. Upon far closer inspection over 130 areas of degradation were addressed and repaired.

At the onset of the project, the entirety of the foundation was pressure-washed and treated with various solvents to break down decades of mineral deposits on the surface.

Corroded steel on the bases had been exposed to the elements causing corrosion to several areas of the sculptures.

Mix Park. Photo supplied

Suitable binders used to repair the damaged sites consisted of aggregate mixtures based on Taft’s original materials.

Following the setting up of the hardened aggregate mixture were days and weeks of chiseling, hammering and carving to return movement, texture and vitality to Taft’s pieces. Both figures were then sealed to prevent any adverse effects from the elements.

Originally from Oregon, the Reeds have forayed into the business of fine arts restoration. Returning to their summer home in Oregon, the Madison residents were thrilled to return the Taft piece to its original state. “It has been my greatest honor to work with my father.

This is a piece that means so very much, not only to him, but to this community.

So many people stopped by to express their thanks for the work being done, to share their childhood

memories of the fountain, and to communicate their appreciation of Lorado Taft’s artistry. I feel so privileged to follow in my father’s footsteps to present these Taft figures, fully restored, to the town of Oregon,� said Towner K. Reed.

With a month of work having gone into the fountain, the “Fish Boys� are looking far more like the figures that Lorado Taft created. “The Oregon area is culturally rich in art and sculptures. The Oregon Park District is very fortunate to be entrusted with many

sculptures throughout our park system. The Reeds did an amazing job restoring “Fish Boys� and I encourage everyone to take a stroll through Mix Park to see the amazing work of Lorado Taft more than 100 years ago and restored by the Reeds,� said Erin Folk, Executive Director, Oregon Park District.

Mix Park is located at 701 S. 4th Street, Oregon. Park amenities include a shelter, grill, playground, open play area and basketball court with “Fish Boys� located in the center.

Draw Down Event Nov. 11 for Oregon schools

Dear Editor, The Oregon Schools’ Foundation’s second annual Draw Down event will take place on Nov. 11 at the Rock River Center in Oregon at 6 p.m. Last year’s event was a huge success, so we are going to do it again!

Our goal is to raise $7,500 which will be used for classroom grants for our in our schools for the needed supplies and equipment that the school district’s budget simply just doesn’t cover.

It is sad reality that our state’s budget has been hurting for some time and the Oregon Schools’ Foundation is trying to make up for these shortages by hosting this community event.

Dear Editor, A recent article written by Ron Colson hits the nail on the head. Could not have said it any better. He covered the needs for a new jail and reminded all that we can not allow a few to control our lives.

I remember when a chosen few decided for the rest of the county that a new judicial complex that would have included sheriff’s office, jail and court system would not become a reality. Also that whole complex would by now be paid for in full. Now not such a good deal is possible. From 1981 through 2005 I worked in and around our current jail. It was pretty much a disaster then. It has been remodeled so many times in an effort to bring it up to “standards� which never happened. The faults in the building were patched many, many times. Changing times bring new jail regulations. Some were much-needed and, of course, many not.

Bottom line, fellow citizens — let’s not allow this to again become the wishes of a few while the vast majority grumble but remain silent. Kinda sounds like what’s

happening at the state and federal level.

Merrill to join two Polo golfers at 1A sectional Buck narrowly misses the cut

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com For a trio of local golfers, it will be trip No. 3, 2 and 1 to the Class 1A sectional.

Leading the way is Oregon junior Adam Merrill, who qualified out of the regional for the third year in a row.

Joining him are Polo’s Mack Llanas of Polo, for the second time and Lane Hopkins on his maiden journey.

It was Llanas with the best score among the three with an 83. Merrill and Hopkins carded 88s on the PrarieView Golf Club.

“What helped out was not having any high scores,” said Llanas, who had a consistent 41-42. “This course has tough greens and is windy, more so than we saw at (conference) Wolf Hollow.”

Hopkins came off the front nine feeling confident after shooting 42.

However, a triple bogey at No. 10 set him back. He recovered with a 46 to come in two shots ahead of the cutoff.

“It was a struggle on the back nine,” said Hopkins, who missed by one stroke of making it into a playoff for the final sectional spot last year. “On hole number 10, I went out of bounds.”

As a team, the Marcos came within three shots of advancing, finishing fourth with a 365, as Trevin Woodin (95) and Hayden Bittinger (99) rounded out the scoring.

Rockford Christian won the meet with a 337, followed by host Byron (346) and Rockford Lutheran (362).

“We overachieved this year,” Llanas said.

For a team that struggled to find a fourth scorer after Llanas, Hopkins and Trevin Woodin, Coach Don Reece agreed with that.

“I’m really happy with the year,” Reece said. “We did overachieve and had a chance to get out (of regional). I’m not disappointed at all. This is first time we had four scores under 100.”

With a team of mostly novices, Oregon finished well back with a 398.

Merrill was hoping for better than an 88, but looks forward to the sectional, where he has played quite well in the past.

“I love this course, but couldn’t putt at all,” he said.

“About every other hole was a 3-putt. I’ve got another round (sectional) to make up for it. The sectional is just another tournament and it won’t bother me.”

Merrill has been up and down all season and coach Jim Spratt is confident of his chances at the Rockford Christian Life sectional.

“It was a little bit of a letdown for Adam. He wasn’t sharp with his wedges and putter,” Spratt said. “He’ll have a chance to redeem himself at Elliot.”

Just missing the cut for the Hawks was Jackson Buck, who couldn’t rebound from a 51, which included an 8 and 9, on his first (back) nine.

He finished with a 40, but needed one stroke better to make the playoff for the final sectional berth.

Other scorers for Oregon were Jarrett Dietrich (106) and Eddie Buttons (113).

“We made improvement,” Spratt said. “We had some guys that had never held a club before this season and we won four matches.

Byron’s Jon Silvers survived missing a 3-foot

putt for birdie on the second playoff hole to come back and claim medalist honors between two other golfers that finished with 77s.

At the Freeport Aquin Class 1A regional, Forreston had Andrew Bratina and Christian Groenewold qualify for the sectional.

“I’m really happy for them, especially Christian with being a senior,” Forreston coach Matt Hanley said.

Playing as the top two golfers all season, Bratina and Groenewold did not disappoint, carding a 90 and 94 respectively.

Forreston’s score of 398 was good for seventh out of 13 teams. Other scorers for Forreston were Mark DeWall Oregon’s Adam Merrill tees off on hole #10 at the start of the Byron Regional as OHS and Mavric Rudy.

Hawks come back to beat Lutheran in three games Volleyball team rallies to stay on top of BNC

Oregon won the match in three games.

Photos by Earleen Hinton

The Oregon volleyball was close to the brink of seeing its unbeaten record in BNC play come to an end last week.

After losing the first game to Rockford Lutheran 25-17, the Hawks trailed 24-23 in the second game on Sept. 28.

With their backs against the wall, the Hawks responded with a pair of blocks to get the ball back in their court and went on to win 26-24.

In the third game, it was all Oregon 25-13.

“The blocks really changed momentum,” Oregon coach Faith McNamee said. “In the third set, we had clutch blocks that put them away.”

Oregon took early leads in game one and two, but struggled the rest of the way.

Lutheran outscored Oregon 13-4 midway through the first contest to take control.

Prior to that, Bailey Nelson had three kills, Gylian finch a tip and Makenna Mongan a block for a 6-2 Hawk lead.

In the second game, Finch got the team off to a 4-0 lead with strong service. Then McKenna Sadler started a run of tips for the Hawks, with Jasmine Herbst, Finch (2) and Nelson all chipping for an 11-4 lead.

Lutheran freshman Lauren Spangler than served her team to a 15-14 lead on a pair of aces and an identical

tip that Finch had inflicted on her.

In a nip-and-tuck affair, both teams traded points with a Nelson kill and Mongan tip giving Oregon a 23-all tie.

Sophomore Lauren Montavon had key block to keep Oregon from losing match point and the Hawks pulled it out.

“After getting those lead, we lost our momentum in the first two games,” McNamee said.

In the deciding set, it was Finch getting the Hawks off to a 7-1 lead on two tips, two kills and two aces. All together, she team-high 16 kills 16 digs and five aces.

Lutheran did close to within 9-8, but Oregon got the next six service points.

The Crusaders finally broke serve, but only managed on point.

A pair of Sadler kills and Finch tips later, Oregon had a comfortable 10-point lead.

Finch even found time to chuckle about her last tip, a last-gasper which barely stayed in bounds.

At that point, the Hawks were on a roll and every bounce seemed to go their way, as they cruised to the easy game 3 win.

“In the third game, the stress got to us. We’re a young team,” Lutheran coach Mike Siciliano said. “Oregon did a good job of controlling errors.”

With the win, Oregon leads the BNC with a 4-0 record and 15-4 overall. Lutheran, which earlier lost to G-K, dropped to 3-2 and 15-5.

Hawks fall to undefeated Byron

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Fans at Oregon’s homecoming game with Byron were treated to a professional fireworks display at halftime worthy of anything found on the Fourth of July.

They weren’t the only fireworks on LandersLoomis Field on Sept. 29.

An explosive Byron football team scored seven touchdowns on only 20 plays to take a 48-0 halftime lead against the Hawks. Byron increased that lead to 62-0 early in the third quarter on its way to a 62-7 victory.

“They out-manned us,” Oregon coach Nick Schneiderman said. “They are very talented, with lots of depth. They controlled the line of scrimmage.”

An example of that was 6-foot-5, 280-pound sophomore tackle Tyler Elsbury knocking down three Hawk defenders simultaneously on a touchdown that was called back for holding.

The way Byron rolled

yardage up, penalties didn’t matter. Two plays after the infraction, Nolan Bielskis ran 54 yards for a score.

Bielskis had another 54yard touchdown run and a 57-yard touchdown catch to help Byron to a 35-0 lead in the opening minute of the second quarter.

Meanwhile, Oregon had punted five times after five straight three-and-outs.

“In the first half, we executed on both sides of the ball,” Byron coach Jeff Boyer said.

Besides averaging 16 yards per carry on their first seven scoring drives, the Tigers were effective in the air, with Pauly Rico competing two of three passes for 87 yards, with both going for scores.

The third attempt was nearly caught, but dropped at the last second in the end zone.

The only other slight blemish on the first half for Byron was a fumbled pitch on a first-and-goal that would have made it 55-0.

Rather than pile up another touchdown, Boyer let the clock run out.

Five of Byron’s scoring

drives were two plays or less, as Oregon defenders looked helpless to stop the No. 5-ranked team in 3A. Oregon was held to 5 yards of total offense in the first half, and quarterback Calvin Sullivan missed on four passing attempts to open receivers.

“We had chances but

didn’t connect on passes,” Schneiderman said. “If we make those plays, drives Oregon quarterback Calvin Sullivan (15) is sacked by could have been extended.”

Byron’s Gunnar McCoy (56) during first half action at The 62 points scored Landers-Loomis Field.

Sports Column Beautiful night for football despite score

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Sure, it was a total rout

by Byron in Oregon’s homecoming football game.

That’s okay, though.

What stood out most to me on a beautiful evening at Landers-Loomis Field was the support shown by the Hawk faithful.

Whether it was students, parents or fans, all were enthusiastic in their support for OHS Homecoming 2017.

Even with the game getting

out of hand, and everyone present that night knew the Hawks were outmatched going in, people stayed and cheered the team on.

It was a beautiful thing to observe and a reflection on the school spirit incorporated at Oregon. Just because your team isn’t winning, doesn’t mean you can’t have fun at the ball game.

A sign of emotional stability is not needing your team to win to be okay with self esteem.

Some may think this thought to be outlandish, but I believe it is possible for fans of a losing team like Oregon to be just as content as those from an undefeated team like Byron.

What is one’s purpose for

attending the football game, or for that matter any high school sporting event?

Is it to get a sense of satisfaction that comes with being a part of a “winner”?

That’s a natural instinct and hard not to deny.

However, does my spirituality allow me to attend the game as a Hawk fan and appreciate the sport of football and the effort being made by my home team?

If I’m spiritually fit, yes it does. If I’m not spiritually fit, my nature is to be critical of the team after losing 62-7 and perhaps envious of Byron.

No one has given me authority to be judgmental.

That diminishes my ability

to see the good in people.

The on-the-field performance doesn’t matter as much as what a player has in his or her heart. Only God knows what is in a person’s heart, not me.

The reality of the matter is that the talent level for football at Oregon has been down for a few years and this year might be the nadir. The kids playing for us are the best the school has to offer.

Sometimes, there are kids roaming the hallways that aren’t out. That’s not the case at Oregon. Those stud athletes from other teams we play aren’t to be found here.

From listening to the Hawk coaches, here is what we need to know about the young men playing football for Oregon

– they never give up and are trying as hard as they can.

Shouldn’t that be enough?

From the positive reaction shown by Oregon fans to their school on Friday night, it certainly seemed to be enough. Special credit also to the cheerleaders, dance team, band and whatever the spirit can is for keeping the crowd engaged.

One final note on the homecoming celebration.

What a tremendous halftime fireworks show put on by a professional outfit from Tinley Park and organized by Phil and Tony Guifre of Oregon.

That certainly brightened up the evening.

Here’s hoping Byron continues on its way to a

Andy Colbert

state championship. What a show their football team put on for us.

And, I bet their fans appreciated the way Oregon celebrates a homecoming football game.

Byron Unit 2 offline for routine maintenance Exelon Generation operators removed Byron Station Unit 2 from service early Monday morning, kicking off the station’s fall refueling and maintenance outage.

During the outage, technicians will replace approximately one-third of the reactor’s fuel and upgrade plant equipment to keep the facility running at worldclass levels of safety and operational excellence.

“Exelon Generation’s nuclear refueling and maintenance outages are a win-win for consumers and local communities across the state,” said Tom Chalmers, acting site vice president for Byron Station. “The maintenance activities and inspections underway now will help us remain online safely and reliably for another 18 months, and the additional workforce generates millions for local businesses.”

During the outage, Byron employees and supplemental

Workers at the Byron Generating Station perform tasks related to the planned outage of Unit 2 for routine maintenance. The reactor was taken offline Monday.

workers will replace portions of the Unit 2 turbine system and perform preventative maintenance.

Byron’s Unit 1 will continue to supply carbonfree electricity during the Unit 2 outage.

According to a press release from Exelon spokesman Dorothy Wallheimer, Byron Station supports approximately 5,100 direct and secondary jobs in Illinois, and the facility contributes

$1.7 billion to the state’s economy annually.

The plant generates nearly 2,300 megawatts of electricity, enough for more than two million homes.

You are eligible if you are a recipient of one of the following programs: Medicaid SNAP (food stamps) Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Federal Public Housing Assistance Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit Customer households income is at or below 135% of the National Poverty Guidelines, for household of that size.

Where can I apply for the LifeLine and/or LinkUp programs?

For additional information or enrollment in these programs, contact the Leaf River Telephone Company. Link-up and Lifeline are federally funded programs. The Illinois Commerce Commission cannot guarantee that all Eligible Telecommunications Carriers will receive funding to support these programs.

The Universal Telephone Service Assistance Program (UTSAP) is funded by voluntary contributions from Illinois ratepayers.

Consumers wishing to participate in the funding of UTSAP may do so by electing to contribute, on a monthly basis, a fixed amount to be included by the Leaf River Telephone Company on their monthly telephone bill.

The address of the UTSAP Administrator is: Post Office Box 1176, Springfield, Illinois 62705-1176.

The voluntary contributions assist qualified low-income customers by providing additional assistance to the Universal Telephone Assistance programs. Those who wish to apply for assistance or make a contribution to UTSAP may contact their local telephone company.
