Oregon teen dies after struck by semi-tractor Counselors offered at OHS for students

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com Grief counselors were on hand at Oregon High School Sunday evening and Monday to offer comfort to students after the death of a classmate.

Weslee Rice, 17, a junior at OHS, died early Saturday morning after he was struck by a semi-tractor while

he was walking in the 2600 block of West Pines Road near his home about two miles west of Oregon.

School Superintendent Tom Mahoney said counselors spent two hours Sunday evening and all day Monday at the school, available to students and staff members.

“Anytime you lose a young life, it breaks your heart,” he said. “Myself, the staff and students, and the entire Oregon School District community are grieving the loss.”

Rice participated in football and track at OHS.

According to Ogle County Sheriff’s Police, Rice was struck by a westbound semi-tractor driven by Dakota Snyder, 21, Mt. Morris, shortly after 1:30 a.m.

Rice was airlifted to Mercyhealth Hospital (formerly Rockford Memorial), Rockford, where he died.

Snyder, who police said was driving a truck owned by Bocker Trucking, Polo, has not been ticketed.

He was transported to KSB Hospital, Dixon. His condition was not available.

Winnebago County Coroner Bill Heintz said the preliminary results

of an autopsy performed Monday indicate Rice died from blunt trauma.

The results of toxicology tests will be available in approximately three weeks, he said.

Sheriff Brian VanVickle said Rice was walking on the roadway. The incident remains under investigation.

Funeral services for Rice are set for Saturday, April 21 at 2 p.m. at the Blackhawk Center, Oregon.

Visitation will be held on Friday, April 20 from 4 to 8 p.m. at FarrellHolland-Gale Funeral Home, Oregon.

His obituary appears on B4.

Plea offer is extended in fatal accident Mongan trial is slated to begin on Monday

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com An Oregon man charged in the boating death of a Rockford woman two years ago got an extension of a plea offer in Ogle County Court Tuesday afternoon.

Prosecutors offered Marc Mongan, 47, another chance to take the plea deal they offered two weeks ago and extended the deadline for accepting it until 5 p.m. Thursday.

Mongan has been charged with seven felonies, including drunk driving, in the death of Megan Wells, 31, on June 24, 2016, on the Rock River three miles north of Oregon when the johnboat he was operating struck her as it went over the back of the pontoon boat she was riding in, throwing her overboard.

He has been charged with

one count of aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, a Class 2 felony; three counts of reckless homicide, all class 3 felonies; and three counts of reckless conduct, all Class 4 felonies.

Judge John Redington recessed Tuesday’s hearing to meet in his chambers with Mongan and his attorneys, David Tess and Russell Crull, and special prosecutors David Neal and Brooke Shupe, both from the Illinois State’s Attorney’s Appellate Prosecutor’s office.

Neal said the state is again making the plea offer previously made April 5 and extending the deadline for Mongan to accept it.

Redington set another hearing for Thursday morning.

Jury selection for Mongan’s trial is set to begin next Monday.

During the hearing, both the prosecution and defense presented motions to exclude the other side’s expert witnesses.

IDOT to update walks, curbs Work slated for Polo and Oregon

By Zach Arbogast zarbogast@oglecounty news.com The Illinois Department of Transportation held a pair of public meetings to introduce the public to work that will be done on pedestrian crosswalk and curb ramps all around Oregon and Polo.

IDOT officials had maps on display April 11 at Nash Recreation Center, Oregon, showing 126 crosswalks and curb ramps that will be improved along Ill. 2 and Ill. 64.

A meeting was also held April 18 at the Polo Public Library, detailing 70 crosswalks

to be improved along Ill. 52 through Polo, for a total of 196 crosswalks in both areas.

Construction will be done on the crosswalks to get them in line with the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act standards, which was made mandatory in 2012, making them safer and more handicapped accessible.

Ramps that transition from sidewalks into streets will be made wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs, include colored detectable warnings, and be as smooth and flat as possible, with a maximum slope of 12 inches of ramp run for every inch of height.

According to Michael Keuhn, IDOT Geometrics Engineer, this part of a longterm national push to get crosswalk ramps up to the

In This Week’s Edition...

ADA standard.

“The entire state is working to get everything up to snuff with [the ADA],” said Keuhn.

“We got a 25-year program on this where we’re trying to upgrade all of our ADA ramps on the state routes.”

Keuhn said that citizens can see their own municipalities doing the same on a local level, but it is IDOT’s job to take care of state highways.

A timeline for the beginning stages of construction is not set, and Keuhn said the meetings are strictly to make the public aware of the project.

“We’re probably several years out on it,” said Keuhn.

Keuhn said no official numbers have been run, but the Michael Kuehn, Geometrics Engineer for the Illinois Department of Transportation, traces current safe estimate is around out the map of several crosswalks IDOT plans to work on. Over the next few years, IDOT $500,000 for the 196 crosswalk will be repairing handicapped-accessible ramps at crosswalks at 126 locations in Oregon, improvements.

Next hearing April 19 From A1 witness Roger Barrette from Cooper Barrette Consulting, Woodstock, may not be qualified to testify as a boating crash reconstructionist even though he has expertise in vehicle crash reconstruction.

She also argued that Barrette’s report about his conclusions after inspecting the pontoon boat are incomplete and should not be allowed in testimony.

Barrette inspected both boats, which are in the custody of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

Shupe said Barrette wrote in his report that he could not complete it because the lighting was poor in the garage where it was being stored and he had no ladder to get into it for a full Marc Mongan listens as he sits between his attorneys, Dave Tess (left) and Russell Crull during Tuesday’s inspection. hearing. Photo by Earleen Hinton “He wasn’t allowed to touch the

boat,” Tess said.

Redington said he will order the Conservation Police to allow Barrette full access to the boat, but he will need to provide any equipment to make a full inspection possible.

“His report and therefore, his conclusion is incomplete,” Redington said. “I’m not going to let him testify unless he completes the report.”

Redington said the report must be done in time for Thursday’s hearing.

Crull filed a motion to bar the testimony of three Conservation Police officers who were on the scene of the crash and questioned their qualifications to be considered expert witnesses.

Redington reserved a ruling on both state and defense motions to exclude the witnesses until the trial begins.

Ogle’s solid waste department exchanged trees for trash

By Zach Arbogast zarbogast@oglecounty news.com Ogle County citizens practiced “out with the old, in the new” on Saturday as they dropped off junk electronics and picked up fresh trees for planting.

The Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department held a special Earth Day recycling event at their Oregon headquarters, 909 Pines Rd., from 8 a.m. until noon.

The recycling end of the event was familiar. Similar to the last Friday of every month, people could drive up and unload unwanted, broken, or just plain obsolete electronic equipment Items are collected onto pallets, tightly wrapped, and — once there is enough to fill a semi-truck with a 20,000 pound minimum load — hauled away

by Dynamic Recycling, of Onalaska, Wisconsin.

Once their electronics were disposed of, recyclers left

with a lighter vehicle and a free green reusable canvas shopping bag, to help reduce paper and plastic waste.

Additional bags were available for purchase, one for $1 or six for $5.

Something different, however, was the giveaway of free bur, swamp White, and northern red oak trees.

A total of 500 trees were available between the three varieties, but by 11:30 a.m., less than 20 trees remained.

The OCSWMD originally advertised a limit of five trees per person, but in the interest of getting the trees out there, that limit was increased to 10 this year.

To the credit of the volunteers hauling electronics, an already cold day was paired with winds that threatened repeatedly to brute-force the carts right over.

“This is a nasty day today, but we’re keeping things under control,” said Paul Cooney, Solid Waste Management Specialist.

That nasty day didn’t stop 131 people from unloading

unwanted televisions, computers, Christmas lights, printers, and fax machines.

The lineup of cars was constant throughout the four-hour event.

“It just never ceases to amaze me,” said Stephen J. Rypkema, OCSWMD Director.

Rypkema said he’s been doing the events since 2000. At that time, the event was once per year, and partnered with Lee County, resulting in lines of cars a half-mile long.

Recycling events moved to twice per year, and now monthly.

Rypkema said it is a problem that surrounding counties don’t offer similar programs, resulting in people trying to unload items with OCSWMD. Therefore, when recycling, people must provide proof via ID that they live in Ogle County, before their items are unloaded.

“We need that, with the limited help,” said Rypkema.

“For a while, we accepted the occasional ‘here or there’ [noncounty resident], but it started creeping up and we had to stop

that.”

Rypkema encourages members of other counties to get in touch with their county boards and make them aware of the demand for recycling programs. He said they’re a boon that the public is appreciative to have.

“People are very appreciative of the program - and they’re happy to get the free oak trees, too,” said Rypkema.

Another specialty event will be held in October, but until then, OCSWMD accepts recyclables on the last Friday Volunteer John Hitchcock wheels a cart with an old microwave and printer to be recycled. Photo by Zach Arbogast of every month.

Illinois has had three capital cities and six capitols Editor’s note: Otto Dick, Oregon, has researched the people, places, and events important in the Oregon area’s history for the Ogle County Historical Society. The following is one of a series of the articles he has written.

By Otto Dick Illinois is 200 years old and has had three capitals located at Kaskaskia, Vandalia and Springfield.

The state constitution was adopted on Aug. 26, 1818, and Kaskaskia became our first capital.

Illinois was admitted to the Union on Dec. 3, 1818 as the 21st state.

Two years later in 1820 with a shift in the population away from the Mississippi River toward the middle of Illinois, Vandalia became our second capital city.

This lasted for 27 years when the 1837 legislature voted to relocate to Springfield.

Our first capital located in Kaskaskia was located by the Mississippi River and founded by the French in 1709. Later the British controlled this territory.

At this time it was considered the metropolis of the Mississippi Valley and also served as a springboard to the west.

Half of the inhabitants were French or French-Indian who raised cattle, horses and hogs and worked small farms.

Fort Kaskaskia was built by the French in 1759.

The British destroyed this fort and in 1763 built Fort Gage.

On July 3, 1778 George Rogers Clark captured Fort Gage and Kaskaskia.

Kaskaskia was then the territorial capital of the Union from 1809 until we became a state in 1818.

A two-story building

Above: The very first Illinois capitol in 1818 was a simple two-story building in Kaskaskia, the original state capital.

Below: The first state capitol in Springfield was built of brick and was used from 1837 to 1876. It is now a museum.

Ground was broken on March 11, 1868 for the sixth and current Illinois State Capitol in Springfield. It was completed 20 years later at a total cost of $4.5 million. One of its architects was George O. Garnsey, of Chicago, who also designed the Ogle County Courthouse.

served as the statehouse. It was here that the first Illinois Constitution was drafted. This building caught on fire in 1824.

Shadrach Bond the first governor of Illinois lived on a farm in this area.

Due to floods the city of Kaskaskia is practically nonexistent.

What is left is an island in the Mississippi River only accessible by a small bridge from the Missouri side.

Our second capital city was Vandalia located on the west bank of the Kaskaskia River.

At this time the town site was an unoccupied frontier.

Vandalia was built solely to be the capital of Illinois.

The first capitol building at Vandalia was a plain two-story frame 30 by 40 feet building.

This building burned to the ground after only three years of service, 1820-1823.

After the fire a new capitol building was built in 1824 at a cost of $15,000.

Soon after its construction there was a movement to relocate the capital again to a location nearer to the center of the state.

In 1836 Vandalia constructed a more substantial building hoping this would keep the capital in Vandalia.

A bill was introduced to hold a statewide election from a list of several choices which included Alton, Jacksonville, Peoria, Springfield, Vandalia, and the states actual geographic center for the next capital of Illinois.

Alton was the victor, however, the legislature determined the margin was too small and ignored the vote.

On Feb. 25, 1837 the General Assembly ignored the gesture by Vandalia and voted to relocate the capital to Springfield.

On July 4, 1837 construction commenced on a brick capitol building in Springfield.

This fifth Illinois capitol building was in service from 1839 to 1876.

This capitol building is closely associated with Abraham Lincoln.

This is where he delivered his famous “House Divided”

speech and laid in state after his assassination.

This building is now the Old State Capitol Historic site.

So in all Illinois has had three capitals, Kaskaskia, Vandalia and Springfield.

We also have had six capitol buildings, one at Kaskaskia, three at Vandalia and two at Springfield (three capitals, six capitols).

I started this article spelling out spelling our three capital cities as capitol cities. Oh well, I was a shop teacher!

Public Voice Little will write his check when the statue is done Dear Editor, A few years ago I attended an Oregon Trail Days event at Lowden State Park. At that event, I donated $1,000 for the renovation of the Black Hawk Statue. I have since learned that

money along with hundreds of thousands of dollars has been wasted on scaffold rental, research, and data. By the way, do we have access to that data?

This time I will pledge $2,000 to and for the renovation of the Black Hawk Statue. I will write my check immediately upon completion of the project.

Sincerely yours, Richard Little Oregon

Oregon couple will share their Tanzania experiences Event includes a meal at OUMC on April 25 Tom and Jan Champley, Oregon, who were part of a small group who traveled to Tanzania in 2016, will share information and pictures of their experiences on Wednesday, April 25 at the Oregon United Methodist Church.

The presentation at 6:15 p.m. will follow the weekly Wednesday Night Alive “WNA” meal which is served at 5:30 p.m.

The meal of pulled pork, oven baked potato wedges, salad bar and ice cream bars is $5 per adult, $3 per child, with a maximum of $15 per family.

To make reservations call the church office at 815-732-2994 by noon on Monday, April 23. All are welcome

The Champleys will present information about the work being done to provide health care to the under-served people of the Arusha Diocese through the Tanzanian Nursing School Project.

A serious nursing shortage exists in Tanzania.

Arusha Lutheran Hospital started a nursing school in 2014 and graduated the first class of nurses in 2016.

To continue operation, the nursing school must relocate. Currently, 50 percent of the nursing positions go unfilled.

Northern Illinois Synod (NIS) is partnering in a project with the Arusha Diocese in eastern Tanzania to assist in correcting the shortage. The sister synods Tom and Janet Champley will share work together to improve local healthcare information about their trip to Tanzania on and educational opportunities.

Reading Matters What are your poetry memories?

By Mary Gardner Reading Specialist What are your memories of poetry?

Does the mere thought trigger bad feelings about a lengthy poem that you were required to dissect line by line in high school?

Or, do you have positive recollections of a favorite poet or of poems that you learned by heart and can still recite?

In celebration of April as Poetry Month, let’s consider ways we can have positive experiences with poems with our children and grandchildren.

There are many poems for children of all ages in a variety of styles and genres. You will find fiction, fantasy, and nonfiction poetry.

There are poems about many of the topics that interest children such as dinosaurs, space, weather, or sports.

Young children especially love to hear the play on words and the rhythm and rhyme of poetry.

That is why Dr. Seuss books with all the silly made-uprhymes are so popular.

We can encourage playing with rhymes orally as well. We might say “Do you want some juice moose?” or something silly like that as part of our dayto-day routines.

Poetry provides positive support for reluctant or struggling readers.

First, there are many poems that are one page or less. A smaller amount of text to tackle can be motivational for these readers.

Another important factor is that there are many humorous poems written for children.

Many of them are about school so the topics are familiar, and children quickly recognize the humor.

Reading texts that make us laugh makes reading enjoyable which improves attitude and motivation toward reading.

Poems can also be serious.

Poets certainly write to express deep emotions about difficult topics.

These kinds of poems can be an acceptable way for us to have conversations with our families about such topics as bullying, difficult relationships with friends or family, or even the death of a pet or a loved one.

We might consider trying our hand at writing poems. There are many forms and frames that are easily accessible on the Internet.

Poems do not have to rhyme, and they can really be any form you choose to try.

When you are working with a certain format, like haiku for example, you are limited to a certain number of syllables.

This makes word choice very important, so writing poems is a good way to build writing vocabulary.

Writing poetry can be therapeutic as well.

It allows you to express yourself on paper in a way that can help you work through your feelings in a healthy way.

A poem written about a special celebration or a difficult life event might then be shared with family or others to further help us process the event.

You are invited to join me on Sunday, April 22 at 2 p.m. at the Mt. Morris Public Library for a time of reading and writing poetry.

It is for all ages children and adults.

Refreshments will be served.

Registration is suggested, but not required. You may phone the library at 815-734-4927.

Both the Mt. Morris and Oregon public libraries have extensive collections of children’s poetry.

The library staff is happy to help you locate them.

Take some time with your children or grandchildren and find a good book of poems and choose a few that you enjoy.

You might gather your favorites in a notebook and add illustrations. Why not try to memorize one or two?

I love poetry because long ago my grandmother shared a poem with me about a girl who had trouble learning her multiplication facts.

It is funny, has a surprise ending, and I could relate to the topic. I was hooked.

We can share the wonderful world of poetry with our own children and grandchildren, too.

Mary Gardner will be the special guest at a poetry program on Sunday, April 22 at 2 p.m. at the Mt. Morris Public Library. People of all ages are encouraged to attend.

For more information call 815-734-4927.

Duchesses waste little time in 9-0 win over Oregon ​ y Adam Feiner B Sauk Valley Media afeiner@saukvalley.com Instead of waiting around before putting their foot down, Dixon wasted no time in establishing command and a fast-paced tempo Tuesday afternoon against Oregon.

Lexy Langloss scored just 38 seconds into the match, setting the tone for a 9-0 road victory for the Duchesses.

Kylee Hermeyer scored 4 minutes later, and Lauren Pollom pitched in a goal in the 12th minute to make it 3-0 Dixon. Abby Goff hit Hermeyer in-stride, and the Northern Illinois commit was able to put the ball away in the lower left corner in the 13th minute.

“Once one goes in, they keep coming after each other,” Hermeyer said. “When I have space, I can go forward and put them in space. It opens everything up.”

Hermeyer completed the hat trick just 32 seconds later on a long-distance strike.

“Kylee is an outstanding player,” Dixon coach Mahmoud Etemadi said. “Her shots were good. She’s worked a lot, and I think she was as focused as she’s been all year.

But midfielders and forwards cannot execute well if they don’t have the support of good defenders. They’re executing well.”

Dixon (5-1, 2-0) made it 5-0 in the 18th minute, as Britney Pitzer deposited a free kick into the lower-right corner of the

net. Pitzer picked up an assist in the 36th minute off a long pass ahead to Hermeyer, who sent a low shot past Oregon goalkeeper MyKenzie Beitel to make it 7-0 Duchesses at the half.

“It’s good to have a game for our girls to see what I’m trying to teach them and see what we

want our soccer to look like,” Oregon coach Seger Larson said. “It’s just frustrating when I ask them to focus on something, and they get caught up in playing against Dixon.

We don’t need to worry about the score; worry about what we’re trying to work on.”

Oregon (4-6-1, 1-3) recorded

its first shot in the 42nd minute, as Alyssa Theisen’s free kick from just outside the box was saved by Dixon goalkeeper Abbie Provo. Theisen had all three of the Hawks’ shots in the game, while Beitel finished with 13 saves. Ten of those stops came in the first half.

“Sometimes our defense let

her down, and that’s unfortunate because she’s one of our best field players,” Larson said of Beitel. “I think she’s doing a great job back there for not being a goalie.”

Etemadi gave his defenders a chance at the forward positions in the second half, and Madalin Blumhoff took full advantage.

The junior scored from an extremely difficult angle in the 44th minute to make it 8-0 Dixon, though her intention was to distribute when the ball left her foot.

Dixon finished with 45 shots for the game, 38 of them coming in the first 40 minutes of action.

Rock Falls shuts down Lady Hawks

By Ty Reynolds Sauk Valley Media treynolds@saukvalley.com In some of the warmest conditions of the spring season April 11, the Rock Falls Rockets finally started to heat up.

Payton Yanes struck out 18 in a onehitter, and Taylor Hoefler’s four hits led a late-inning offensive surge as the Rockets defeated the Oregon Hawks 7-0 on at Oregon Park West.

“It’s really nice being able to come in and play like this, because we haven’t played in a week and a half. It’s kind of nice to get back in the groove of things,” said Yanes, who issued two walks while throwing 68 of her 104 pitches for strikes.

In fact, after walking Aleah Wight to open the bottom of the first, Yanes (71) struck out the next eight hitters, then added five more Ks after Wight’s two-out single in the bottom of the third broke up her no-hitter.

Fifteen of the first 16 outs came via Yanes strikeouts, and Wight was the only Hawk to reach base; she was on all three times after adding a second walk in the sixth.

DLR Track Results Here are the eighth grade results of the April 12 boys track meet held at Oregon High School.

“We just went in and out, kept changing their perspective,” Yanes said. “The curve is really what I stuck to, and I went with the riseball as my strikeout pitch. Toward the end, they were kind of picking up the curve, so I switched over to the screw and went back inside.”

Oregon pitcher Ellie Egyed (1-2) kept the Rockets off-balance with her changeup, and it took a while for them to time it up.

4. Meridian Junior High, 19 Individual results for DLR athletes finishing in the top 5 were: 400 Relay: 1. Josef Gelander, Liam DicksonHarriett, Kenrick Oriyavong, Shaun Blake, 53.13.

110M Hurdles: 2. Kenrick Oriyavong 18.35 100M Dash: 1. Issa Reber 12.24, 3. Isaac Brooks 12.95

“She’s a really good pitcher, and she did a great job today,” Oregon coach Jamie Revelle said. “They don’t have a bad hitter in their lineup, which is not normal for a high school team. They’re very good again – they always are a good hitting team – and we had some errors.

“So when you have such a good hitting team and you have a pitcher that’s throwing, really, four or five outs an inning, it takes a toll. We’re just new; we’re a very young team, but I couldn’t be prouder of the game Ellie threw.”

Egyed struck out one and walked one, and limited the damage to just that one run through the first four innings.

But the third time through the lineup, Rock Falls adjusted. Payton Johnson led off the fifth with a single, then stole second. Hoefler drove her in with a base hit, then stole second and third before beating Wight’s throw to home plate to score on Yanes’ fielder’s choice grounder.

Yanes moved up to second when Wight’s throw got past the catcher, and scored on Bailee Reynolds’ long single to center.

Elise Moeller reached on a fielder’s choice, then Faith Sandrock singled to load the bases – still with nobody out.

Sports Column Odds, weather stacked against spring sports

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Compared to the more glamorous fall and winter sports like football, volleyball and basketball, spring sports have the odds stacked against them.

Fan support isn’t as large as the above mentioned sports and for some athletes, a spring sport is too much after playing in the fall and winter. Additionally, senioritis can kick in and those soon to graduate may have other desires.

With the cold, damp and windy weather we’ve been experiencing this spring, add one more factor that stymies interest.

Besides practicing in the cold, games and meets have been canceled right and left.

It’s difficult to keep spirits up in these conditions. Special credit to the coaches for their efforts in keeping the troops motivated. The only coach that has it tougher is a wrestling

coach.

It’s sad to see empty ball diamonds and tracks, especially on Saturdays. I can never recall Oregon losing out on two Saturday track meets in a row.

Several weeks ago, Hawk soccer coach Seger Larson had the girls practicing in snowy conditions. It seemed a bit extreme, but he said you never know when you’ll have to play in it, so you better get used to it.

I never thought a month later his words would still ring true.

That is one advantage soccer has over track, baseball and soccer. Like football in the fall, it can be played in any conditions.

Let’s face it folks - track, baseball and softball were meant to be played in the summer. When I attended high school 40 years ago, that when high school baseball startedafter school was out.

But, there was a drawback.

Though the weather was great, there was no interest because school was no longer in session. It was really no different than playing Legion ball or club sports.

Eventually, it moved back to the spring, where it continues to shiver until this day. At least

there is a connection to school.

Enough whining about the weather.

Forreston-Polo Track Success How about the season the Forreston boys are having in baseball and track with their coop with Polo. Find me another school their size in Illinois with as much success in both sports as Forreston is having.

Baseball has been no cake walk, as the Cardinals escaped a couple close NUIC pitching duels. The conference is loaded with good teams.

It was tremendous effort by F-P at the Byron Relays last week, in what turned out to be the best weather day of the spring thus far. The relays are loaded and Brady Webb and AJ Christensen are again towards the top of 1A in their events.

As coach Wagner stressed, the key is to stay healthy. The program has been snakebitten by the injury bug the last few years and hopefully that has become a thing of the past.

If they stay healthy, the IHSA state meet promises to be site of multiple medals. Could we see one of the rarest of rarities - state trophies in both baseball and track?

Baseball is tough, because

one bad game and you’re done.

Or, like what happened to Forreston last year - you run into another team’s best effort of the year and barely get beat.

The odds are against both programs doing it the same season, but it is fun to project into the future. Hey, maybe the weather will warm up by then.

Bothe Induction Congratulations to Oregon coach John Bothe for induction in the IHSFCA Hall-ofFame. One little-known fact about Bothe was that he was somewhat of an unknown before Hawk Athletic Director Vern Welp took a chance and hired him.

There wasn’t much for him to work with in his first year (1998), but after that, things got rolling and Mr. Welp proved to be a good judge of talent.

Bothe also was blessed by Kip Crandall and Mike Lawton coming in after Vern. As a media member, I can also attest to how easy it was to work with Vern, Kip and Mike.

Another thing that John was thankful for was having junior tackle as a feeder system. Without the coaches and administration of junior tackle, the high school program wouldn’t be what it was.

I’ve noticed that over the years in the sport I help with, track and field. If it wasn’t for the Gippers and Gretchen Nelson, Oregon’s high school program wouldn’t be nearly as strong.

RC Campus Groundbreaking took place last week on an international wing of the Rockford Christian campus, with lodging for up to 200 students from other countries. With private schools losing enrollment, RC is bucking the trend.

What will that mean for the BNC? Nobody is sure yet. Will these foreigners be the type to play sports or will it strictly be about academic opportunities?

Certainly schools all over have benefited athletically from foreign-exchange students.

Speaking of RC, remember they will not longer compete in the BNC for football. From now on, the conference will have 10 football-playing schools, with no more nonconference games.

At least we won’t have two schools going undefeated in conference play like was the case this past fall with Dixon and Byron. It will make the schedule a bit more difficult

Andy Colbert

for Oregon.

Still, Oregon should be thankful to be in a conference with as much stability as the BNC. With the recent breakup up the NIB-10, DeKalb and Kaneland are trying to get into the NIC-10 and Sterling was basically left to flounder by themselves.

Sterling was accepted into the league with the Quad-cities teams and Quincy. Talk about a long round trip. It’s 400 miles round trip to Quincy from Sterling.

CHILD CARE

512

NO INDIVIDUAL, unless licensed or holding a permit as a childcare facility, may cause to be published any advertisement soliciting a child care service.* A childcare facility that is licensed or operating under a permit issued by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services may publish advertisements of the services for which it is lispecifically censed or issued a permit. Sauk Valley Media strongly urges any parent or guardian to verify the validity of the license of any facility before placing a child in it's care. *Family homes that care for no more than three (3) children under the age of twelve or which receive only children from a single household, for less than 24 hours per day, are exempt from licensure as day care homes.

The three children to whom this exemption applies includes the family's natural or adopted children and any other persons under the age of 12 whether related or unrelated to the operator of the day care home. (DCFS Rule, Part 377.3 (c))

Astrograph Be prepared to give your all. You will be judged by your actions and accomplishments. Calm, concise action is your ticket to success.

THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 2018 ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- There are no shortcuts if you want to get things done right the first time. Size up your workload and manage your time with precision and firmness.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Don’t expect to get the best price or be told the truth when someone is asking for your help. Your generosity will be taken advantage of if you are gullible.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Make plans to enjoy downtime with a loved one. Spending time together will help you iron out any conflicts you may have with each other.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- An opportunity will intrigue you. Consider the pros and cons and what it will take to initiate a positive change.

Trust and believe in yourself, and present what you have to offer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) -- A sensitive situation surrounding a partner must be addressed diplomatically.

Look for the perfect moment to make your point without hurting someone’s feelings or causing a scene.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You’ll have to ask direct questions if you want to hear the truth. Someone will distort a message or mislead you. Getting together with someone from your past isn’t recommended.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It’s important to keep your story straight. If you exaggerate or lead someone to believe you are willing to do something you are not, you will end up looking bad.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t trust what others tell you. Get firsthand information and don’t make changes that can disrupt important relationships. Take your time and only pursue what’s feasible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Stick close to home and iron out any difficulties or changes you want to make.

Discussions will lead to solutions and positive changes that put your mind at ease.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Know what you want, and don’t let anyone manipulate you or put you on the spot.

Control the situation instead of letting it control you. If you aren’t ready to make a decision, back away.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A change may appear to be favorable, but go over the fine print before you take part. Play it safe and get what you want in writing before you proceed.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t be too trusting.

Someone will exaggerate or offer a false impression regarding a deal or purchase that he or she wants you to buy into. Say no to risky joint ventures. ©2017 UFS
