Special meeting is not scheduled Colson planned on discussing sheriff’s building

By Vinde Wells Editor

A special Ogle County Board meeting announced last week didn’t happen after all.

At the regular meeting on March 19, board member Ron Colson, Mt. Morris, called for the special meeting under Rule 13 to discuss the location of the proposed sheriff’s administration building.

Rule 13 allows eight board members to call for a special meeting.

Colson said eight members had agreed to the meeting, but he declined to identify them, saying they would be listed on the meeting agenda.

Colson has opposed the new sheriff’s administration building being located on the present site at 103 Jefferson St., Oregon. He favors building it on the property the county owns on Sixth Street across from the judicial center.

Colson first voiced his concern over the location at the Jan. 21 board meeting because he said the property lies within the area designated for a Riverfront District in the City of Oregon’s

Comprehensive Plan.

He said the property is a key part of planned development to promote tourism in the city, which would also financially benefit the county.

He asked for the matter to be on the Feb. 18 meeting agenda.

However, the Executive Committee, which decides what goes on the agenda, voted 6-0 against that.

Members of the Executive Committee are board chairman Kim Gouker, Byron, John O’Brien and Greg Sparrow, both of Rochelle, John Finfrock, Mt. Morris, Don Griffin, Oregon, Pat Nordman, Oregon. Board member Bill Welty, also a committee member, did not attend that meeting.

Gouker reminded Colson March 19 that a special meeting could cost as much as $1,200 if all 24 board members attend.

Board members are paid $50 each for special meetings.

Colson acknowledged the cost, but said he called the special meeting after the matter had been “blocked� from getting on the regular agenda.

Gouker, however, disagreed. “It wasn’t blocked.

It’s been discussed in committee,� he said. “We’re moving forward [with the building].�

Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn did not answer his phone or return numerous phone calls seeking information about

the incident.

According to a Rockford TV station, Harn said the shooting occurred around 12:30 a.m. after two people got into a fight during a party.

The victim, whose name was not released, was shot in the shoulder and was in serious condition, the TV report said.

According to IDOC records, McMahon was paroled in July of 2013.

He was sentenced to three years in the IDOC in 2010 after being convicted on several charges, including armed robbery (no firearm) and possession of a firearm by a gang member. All the offenses occurred in Winnebago County.

The sun is warm, the snow banks are disappearing, and the robins are back but it still does not feel like spring.

Polo Historical Society’s meeting on the Wednesday, April 2 will be coming up soon and Mike Scholl will have the program.

He will tell us all about honey bees. Now that should give us a spring feeling.

We have not had a meeting for a while due the bad weather so hopefully we can all turn out to hear the program.

Since it is still a church service for Lent at St. Mark’s Lutheran, we will have our meeting start at 7:30 p.m.

I believe the fireman are joining us for a presentation so remember April 2.

We are saddened to lose staunch members of Polo Historical Society recently with the death of Chuck Knie and Helen Ports.

I remember when I started in at Aplington House Helen would stop by and chat. She was so glad that I was there since Paul Graehling had hoped she would take over following her retirement from the bank.

She was always relieved to have me running up and down the stairs instead of her.

With Chuck Knie I remember how he brought in the Civil War memorabilia of Charles Noble’s uniform and picture for our Sesquicentennial in 2007.

This was an important part of his heritage and people enjoyed seeing those artifacts of their family.

At his visitation I was amazed at his paintings as we moved slowly through the line. Many people had no idea of his talent so elegantly displayed that evening.

He was a very busy businessman and yet still had time for his artwork.

The memory booklet given people that evening had been designed by his grandson, Ryan Shenefelt, using his paintings for the background artwork.

Ryan obviously has the family talent and is using it in graphics art.

I remember Ryan when he was a student at Centennial.

We will miss these people in our community since they have been a fixture in it for many, many years.

Time marches right along and I see it in our family as the younger ones grow up and we get older. This is

simply the way of life and we pass the torch to the next generation.

I find myself still dealing with nursing home staff, physical therapy rooms, and seeing many people with aging problems.

It eventually comes to us all sooner or later.

I also am finding many young people working in these facilities that are most compassionate and loving.

They are helpful in many ways and always there with a smile.

I have been impressed with the young people in health service in our hospitals and care facilities.

Many of them are with high school work programs and they work in these facilities for several hours during the day.

My sister commented how nice these kids are and she enjoyed having them in her room.

At this point I am still not at the museum very much but needed elsewhere.

The Tri-County Press was founded in 1857 as the Polo Transcript.

It was renamed the Polo Advertiser in 1858. In 1865 it was again changed to the Ogle County Press, which it remained until 1901, when the name was changed to Tri-County Press.

The newspaper was purchased in 1926 by G.C. Terry and John Wagner from C.H. Hemingway. Terry bought out Wagner's interest in 1930, and the newspaper remained in the Terry family until June 2, 1977, when Danny C. Terry sold out to B.F. Shaw Printing of Dixon.

The Tri-County Press printing plant was the first in northwestern Illinois to utilize modern technology in type composition and presswork for the production of newspapers.

Board members asks about Tow Fund

By Vinde Wells Editor

being managed yet by the county treasurer.

Sheriff Michael Harn, who did not attend the meeting, has come under fire for some Tow Fund expenditures. In February, the board limited his control over the fund.

Board chairman Kim Gouker said at that meeting that the fund would be handled

by the treasurer rather than the sheriff in the future. “Is the Tow Fund going through the county treasurer’s office now?� Saunders asked last week.

Treasurer John Coffman replied that he has not yet received any records from Harn. “The sheriff is working on

phone calls seeking further information about the crash.

was available to provide information or a crash report.

According to the TV station, the crash remains under investigation.

The handling of the sheriff’s Tow Fund came into question again last week at the Ogle County Board meeting.

County board member Pat Saunders, Polo, asked March 19 if the sheriff’s Tow Fund expenditures and receipts are

“There were too many schedule conflicts,� he said.

Gouker sent out an email Monday evening to county board members and officials, as well as media, notifying them that the special meeting

The email said Colson had filed neither a request nor an agenda for the special meeting with the county clerk by the March 21 deadline.

it,� Gouker said. “He’s been busy. His father-in-law has been in the hospital.�

Harn was also seeking the Republican nomination for sheriff in the March 18 primary election, but was defeated by challenger Brian VanVickle, Rochelle.

Petrizzo asked when concealed carry signs will be posted at all county buildings.

So far, he said, he has seen them only at the judicial center.

Gouker said Harn, who is in charge of county properties, is working on getting the signs up.

McKinney said he believes county department heads should not be allowed to accept free vehicles without the county board’s approval.

He said three of the donated vehicles are costing the county $450 per year for insurance. “They may be free but they cost us money,� McKinney said.

to extend his permission to keep bee nucs at his home.

Scholl said he plans to raise queens in the nucs, which are half the size of a regular hive.

The request drew vehement opposition from alderman Louise Hall. “Why can’t you do it out in

the country?� she asked.

Scholl explained that the concentration of pesticides used on farm crops will likely kill the delicate queens.

He explained last summer that raising queens is a delicate operation that requires frequent observation and care.

“I think it’s too much of a risk health-wise,� Hall said.

The council, over the no votes of Hall and alderman Cheryl Galor, gave Scholl permission last fall to have the nucs at his home from Sept. 15 through March 15.

Bees raise buzz at March 17 Polo City Council meeting

By Vinde Wells Editor

Bees raised a buzz again last week at the Polo City Council meeting.

Beekeeper Mike Scholl, who lives at 110 N. Barber Ave., asked the city council March 17

Appeals recommended the ordinance change that would allow Scholl to have the bees within the city limits, and the council approved it.

Scholl asked the council to extend the time he could have the nucs to year-round. He said his bees did not survive the

winter.

Attorney Tom Suits said the ordinance may need to be changed to allow the nucs yearround.

City Clerk Susie Corbitt will send a letter to neighbors notifying them of Scholl’s request and the possible change.

By Karen Merlak The spring season does not seem to be in any rush to get here. The first day of the season of renewal has come and gone and temperatures have stalled.

Our lesson in patience continues. Every ray of sunshine is a welcome blessing from heaven.

This morning in church, we were greeted by Brian Toms.

In the absence of Pastor Gregg Downs, Don Hay and Sandra Ford shared the morning duties.

proposal submitted by Coroner Louis Finch for indigent cremation services was limited to only Ogle County funeral homes. “I hate to see Ogle County businesses lose money,� he said, suggesting that the bidding should be opened to any funeral home.

However, board member Lee Meyers, Byron, said that in the past the county board has favored awarding contracts to business located within the county when at all possible.

Finch, who owns and operates a funeral home and crematory with his family in

Mt. Morris, had requested bidding the cremations for indigent persons on an annual basis rather than an individual basis. The board approved the measure.

Finch said that last year the county paid for five or six cremations for deceased individuals without the

means to pay.

Board member Pat Saunders, Polo, asked how many crematories are in Ogle County.

Finch said his family’s is the only one. However, he said, several are located in surrounding counties. “Just because an Ogle

County funeral home gets the bid doesn’t mean they will use my facility,� he said Tuesday.

Board member Dick Petrizzo, Davis Junction, suggested that all bids should go to the county clerk to be opened at the same time.

Our message this morning was given by Allen Gale from the Gideons. He spoke of the amazing work they are doing to reach out to those who want to know Jesus.

His wife, Nancy, also joined us for the morning worship.

They are from Oregon.

Jane Hamilton provided our special music, singing, “Ten Thousand Angels.� We are blessed that Jane chooses to share her talent with us.

It was my turn to lead the children’s message. We had a visiting child this morning, Summer, granddaughter of Brenda Wiggins. Tim and Brenda also brought Tim’s mother, Wanda Wiggins for the morning worship.

Pastor Gregg and Sue Downs, Joe and Melissa

Downs, and their children Kelsey, Kaiyle, and Emmitt went to watch Kelsey compete in a state swim meet. Kelsey swims with the YMCA swim team in Dixon.

Don and Vicki Hay visited their daughter, Christine Stephens, her husband, Lance, and their children, Sydney, Owen, and Avery in Naperville.

Sydney played the part of Flounder in the play, The Little Mermaid. After the performance, the families went to dinner and enjoyed a nice visit.

This past Tuesday evening, our PEO Chapter DW met at the home of Nancy Grossnickle. After a shortened meeting, we spent the evening working

on a special craft for table decorations for an upcoming April meeting.

It was a smaller than normal group with Jean Cunningham and Vicki Hay attending from Pine Creek. Nancy was a gracious host for our chapter.

On Friday afternoon, Stephanie arrived home for her spring break. She has been very busy with school and work, so she is looking forward to restful week at home.

Clint is especially glad to have his sister home for a little while.

The track season continues for the high school students.

Matt and Clint are working hard and are getting ready for the first meet. Hopefully, the weather will warm up fast for

the athletes since they will be outside.

For the children’s message this morning, I asked our guest, Summer, what it’s like to be in the desert. We decided it was hot, dry, and dusty. We also talked about the most refreshing drink would be water when we are in the hot, dry, dusty desert.

Our scripture for the morning was the story of the woman at the well. Jesus asks the woman for a drink and then tells her of the living water.

Water is very cooling when

we are hot. It is very important that our bodies have water. It is equally important that our heart has Jesus.

Even now, I sometimes forget that my thirst is quenched.

I look around for something to fill me, and I realize it’s already done.

I am so grateful to know Jesus. I hope you have the opportunity to know Him too.

I will see you next Sunday in our little church in the country as we gather to worship our Savior in the Lenten season.

HCC board increases tuition Submitted by Highland Community College During its March 18 regular meeting, the Highland Community College Board of Trustees approved a $3 per credit hour tuition increase for the fall 2014 semester, and another $2 per credit hour effective for the spring of 2015, if needed.

The spring 2015 increase would require board action and would be determined prior to registration for the spring 2015 semester.

The board approved the second reading of a recommendation to increase tuition by amending the original motion of an increase of $5 per credit hour.

In-district tuition will increase from $115 per credit hour to $118 per credit hour for fall 2014 and from $118 to $120 per credit hour in spring of 2015 upon further board approval.

The senior citizen rate will

increase from $86 to $89 per credit hour for the fall 2014 semester, and if needed, to $90 for the spring of 2015.

Trustees moved forward on the initiative primarily due to decreased state and local revenue.

Traditionally, the three main components of the college’s operating budget are state unrestricted grants, property taxes, and tuition and fees, funded by an equal share of these three sources.

With state funding now contributing only 13 percent to the HCC operating fund, Vice President of Administrative Services Jill Janssen explained that the increase of $3 per credit hour would help offset reductions in state funding and local property values.

For FY14, Highland is expecting local property taxes to contribute 45 percent, with the remaining 38 percent of revenue generated from tuition and fees. The remaining four percent comes from other

sources. “The college has experienced declining revenue from the state in recent years, amounting to a reduction of about $700,000 over the course of the last five fiscal years,� said Janssen. “Highland aims to maintain the overall tax rate at a consistent level from yearto-year, however this effort to maintain a consistent tax rate now results in decreased local tax revenue because of lower property values in the district.�

Janssen also said that from FY13 to budgeted FY14, expenses are expected to grow only about one percent.

The college has taken steps to control costs through a reduction in contractual services, capital equipment, employee travel and training, and utilities, as well as renegotiation of certain employee benefits.

Job fair is April 2 at Highland The 2014 Highland Community College Job Fair will be held on Wednesday, April 2 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. and Thursday, April 3 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Newell Room, located on the second floor of the Student and Conference Center in room H-201.

Guest author at historical society The public is invited to hear Chicago author Stan “Tex�

Banash discuss his third book, “Roadside History of Illinois,� on Saturday, April 12 at 2 p.m.

The presentation will be at the Ogle County Historical Society, 111 N. Sixth St., Oregon.

Banash will explain the book’s seven regions, several interesting trip segments, describe some of his research, and then point out a number of significant happenings about Illinois history that shaped the state.

The book begins with the Ice Age and carries readers to the present along old U.S. highways, state roadways and county roads.

It leads to the people, places and events that contributed to the state’s development.

It is the first book on Illinois history in more than

30 years and has been praised by former U.S. Sen. Adlai E. Stevenson III and Wayne C. Temple, Chief Deputy Director of the Illinois State Archives.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase and inscription following the talk.

Active in his local community, Banash is a six-term past president of a local chamber of commerce and chaired a local zoning advisory board for 19 years.

He also operated his own home-based public relations firm for more than 30 years.

The author graduated from Northwestern University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and obtained a Master of Arts degree in Urban Studies from Roosevelt University.

His two earlier books were “Best of Dee Brown’s West� and “Dee Brown’s Civil War

Waste department offers grants The Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department is announcing that the next round of Waste Reduction and Recycling Grant applications are due by Monday, April 7.

The grants of up to $2,000 are available to Ogle County businesses, schools, churches and non-profit organizations wishing to establish or improve on waste reduction and recycling programs and services.

Applicants must provide a 20 percent match of the total project cost.

The application for the grants is simple and flexible.

Businesses could use grant funds to help purchase waste

reduction and recycling materials and equipment such as collection bins, carts, balers and storage containers.

Equipment needed to switch from disposable packaging to reusable packaging for products and supplies could also be considered.

Municipalities seeking to improve curbside or multi-family recycling are encouraged to apply.

A recent grant recipient was Serenity Hospice and Home Foundation for equipment needed to store, bale and recycle excess clothing that cannot be sold at their Angel Treasures store in the amount of $2,000.

Meridian School District

Events & Entertainment

received a grant in the amount of $1,539 for the purchase of recycling containers for the elementary schools.

Applicants are encouraged to find innovative ways to reduce the amount of waste that is generated and increase what is recycled.

The grants may not be used to pay for ongoing expenses such as staffing, collection and hauling costs.

Priority will be given to new applicants.

All applications will be reviewed by the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department and the Ogle County Board Solid Waste Committee.

Grants will be evaluated

based on the following criteria: management ability, project quality, project impact, realistic goals and expectations, accuracy of application, education potential, use of recycled content products when available, potential for waste stream diversion, and future continuity of project.

Applications may be submitted by April 7, July 5, or October 4, as long as grant funds are available.

For more information or to request an application, please contact the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department at 815-732-4020, or visit www.oglecounty.org.

Winter of 2014 has taken a toll on northern evergreens This winter has sure taken a toll on the evergreens in the northern Illinois area.

Why did this happen? “Since evergreens retain their leaves throughout the winter, they are susceptible to a variety of winter related problems,� said University of Illinois Extension Horticulture Educator

Candice Miller. “Since these leaves are still living they need to be able to use and uptake water from the soil.�

A good portion of the browning that is seen on evergreens is caused by winter burn or dessication.

This happens when cold winter winds blow past

evergreens and pull moisture out of the leaves at a more rapid rate than the plant can replace the moisture.

If the ground is frozen and the plant cannot uptake enough water, the leaves then brown as a result.

This typically shows up on the windward, sun exposed side of the plant and is not uniformly spaced around the plant.

This can happen on young as well as old trees and shrubs.

The other possible cause of browning on evergreens could be from salt spray.

This browning can occur on evergreens that are close to sidewalks and roadways where de-icing salt may have been splashed on the plant.

Since salt draws water from plant tissue, this salt spray can cause winter burn in evergreens. This again will appear on only the side of the tree closest to the sidewalk or street. “Luckily, many times an evergreen can overcome this damage if it just occurs on a portion of the plant,� notes Miller. “One way to verify if your plant is still viable and

living, is to check and see if the branches and buds are still alive.� Scratch the bark of a young branch that has browning and check to see if the inside is green and living,

or if it is brown and dried out.

If the branch is still green and living, there is a good chance that the branch will continue to grow and overcome that needle loss.

Public Voice CASA Volunteers help children

into critical information about children in the foster care system allowing judges to make more informed decisions about the future for these children.

Each year CASA volunteers help thousands of abused and neglected children find safe and permanent homes.

Take that step, take action, be a voice and find out how you can volunteer for CASA. Visit their webpage and see how you can help! http:// www.casaleecarroll.com Darin DeHaan Vice President CASA-15th Judicial Circuit Board of Directors

Dear Editor, What is a volunteer? The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines volunteer as a person who does work without getting paid to do it.

Volunteer is a noun but I contend that volunteer is actually a verb. A word that expresses an action, an occurrence, or a state of being.

A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer is many things, a mentor, a vision of hope for the hopeless, a caring and kind person in a world of chaos and confusion.

A CASA volunteer does do work without getting paid, but that does not describe the actions they take on behalf of the abused and neglected children in our communities.

To me a CASA volunteer is hero who gives a voice to the voiceless children in the court system. Judges appoint CASA volunteers to speak for the best interest of children removed from their homes as a result of abuse and neglect.

CASA volunteers provide judges with essential insights

You have that right, but maybe you should think about it before posting the sign. Why you ask?

By posting that sign “no firearms allowed� you are telling every one that there are no guns in this business.

The law abiding citizen, who has been trained and granted a permit to carry a firearm, will abide by the sign.

But do you really think the gang-banger who pays no attention to signs or our laws is going to leave his gun in the car?

You are telling the gangbanger that they don’t have to worry about anyone having a gun but them.

What a chance to use theirs to rob, or do whatever they so desire.

Join United Way of Ogle County Dear Editor, For more than 90 years, United Way of Rock River Valley has been committed to improving life in Winnebago and Ogle counties.

Regardless of where you call home, whether it’s Byron, Oregon, or Rochelle, we all share a vision of a community where everyone succeeds in school, work, and life.

But each community is unique and comes with its own needs and assets.

That’s why United Way of Rock River Valley maintains separate fundraising and grant distribution efforts within Ogle County.

Dollars raised through United Way of Ogle County stay in Ogle County. And 100 percent of your contributions are invested in building better lives and stronger communities right here in our backyard.

In fact, United Way of Ogle County programs and services positively impact one out of two residents living in Ogle County.

And we do this together with your voice, your time

and your donations. United Way is not supported by local and federal tax dollars.

Giving to United Way of Ogle County is the most effective and efficient way to impact our community.

We invest in local programs that transform lives, such as healthy independent living for elderly, leadership development for youth, and life skills for individuals living with a disability.

Your gift is directed across a network of community partners with programs that are most vital to our community.

Plus, the United Way grant allocation process is led by a volunteer citizen group comprised of your peers, your neighbors in Ogle County.

You can rely on this knowledgeable group of local volunteers to review needs and direct dollars where they are needed most in Ogle County.

As we wrap up this year’s United Way Community Campaign, I want to personally thank our partners, volunteers, donors, and advocates who have come together as one to help make our community a better place to live.

I invite everyone else to join United Way of Ogle County and become part of something greater than yourself.

Recognize that we’re all connected with a shared fate and a shared responsibility.

The only way to achieve big goals for our community is to do it together. Choose to live united.

Reopening draws 800 to Maxson’s restaurant Popular Oregon landmark is located on Ill. 2

By Vinde Wells Editor An estimated 800 people turned out for the grand reopening last weekend at a popular Oregon restaurant. “We were very happy with the turnout,� said Nancy Semmerling co-owner of Maxson’s Riverside Restaurant on Ill. 2 just north of Oregon. “We had a big response of Saturday — about 300 people, and about 500 on Sunday.�

After being closed for five months, the restaurant, an Oregon landmark for more than 60 years, held a “soft

opening� March 22 for just Oregon residents and then opened to the general public for Sunday brunch on March 23.

Semmerling and her husband Frank, Riverwoods, purchased the restaurant and its paddlewheel riverboat in early February from Rich Wiesner, Oregon, who retired Oct. 31.

The Semmerlings’ daughter and son-inlaw, Christie and Daniel Wiegman, both professional chefs, are running the restaurant.

Hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, with a buffet available at lunchtime.

Sunday brunch will be served from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Luncheon cruises on the Pride of Oregon riverboat

will also be offered on Sunday as soon as weather permits, Semmerling said.

The paddle-wheeler was built in Palatka, Fla., in the late 1980s.

The restaurant’s original owner John Maxson and his family opened the restaurant in 1952 and operated it until they sold it to John and Peter Tsioles in 1978.

Rose Jones purchased the restaurant from the Tsioles brothers in 1985. She added the riverboat, originally called the Rose of the Rock, four years later.

Wiesner bought it from Jones’ heirs.

A fire destroyed the original restaurant building Oregon residents were treated to a “soft opening� at Maxson’s restaurant on March on March 27, 1993, but it 22. Residents received an invitation in the mail and were treated with free food and was rebuilt and reopened in appetizers. The restaurant opened to the general public the next day. the summer of 1994.

Weather impacting the

New coach hired The Forreston-Polo Lady Cardinals have a new head coach.

Terry Pierce, who used to coach at Oregon High School was hired by Forreston last week.

Despite snow covered ground the Forreston/Polo co-op High School softball team has been preparing for the upcoming season. Two games have already been cancelled and it is anticipated more will be postponed as the frozen ground thaws.

The 2014 squad will be led by two senior returning starters in catcher Olivia Peterson and shortstop Meg Culler with Hanna Metzger also returning for her senior campaign.

Underclassman will dominate the team roster but they are not void of high school and summer ball experience. Juniors include

pitcher Jozi Grobe, Hailey Ingram at first base, infielders Jess Slater, Rebekah Wilken and Taylor Scott. Outfielders Alex Steremburg, Madison Merdian and Ashlee Beck fill out the junior class team membership.

Projected sophomore contributors are pitcher Abby Peterson, centerfielder Destiny Darmon, infielders Sammi Bushman, Paige

Peterson and Brinley Peterson as well as outfielder Aubrey Ingram.

Coaching will be Pierce who will be in his first season at the Forreston softball helm.

Pierce coached at Oregon High School from 1998-2007 and the past two years was director of softball operations at the University of Texas at El Paso.

With the inclement weather, it has been difficult for Polo-Forreston track and field coach Terry Jenkins to get a read on how this year’s squad will do.

“I could venture to guess,” the long-time mentor said. “The hardest part is that we’ve only been able to run on blacktop. We were supposed to have a meet today (Tuesday) and it snowed. On Thursday, we’re scheduled at Oregon for a 5-team meet, but the forecast is 46 and rainy. It might the following week before we have meet.”

The following week would be at Oregon on April 1 for another 5-team event.

P-F does have a good turnout with 36 girls out, including six seniors.

Alli Reeder will run the 300 hurdles and sprints.

Megan Gronewold will also

“We were supposed to have a meet today (Tuesday) and it snowed. On Thursday, we’re scheduled at Oregon for a 5-team meet, but the forecast is 46 and rainy.” — Terry Jenkins be a sprinter. Casi Kuschner will be jumper. Three other seniors, Bridget Barry, Kailee Fiorello and Payton Taylor will be a part of the 3,200 relay.

P-F’s best bet to make state will likely be junior Kenzie Heinz.

“Last year, she placed at the sectional, but is currently out after having foot surgery from a basketball injury,” Jenkins said.

Junior Josie Tasch will run the 100, 200, 400 and the relays.

Last year, P-F won the frosh-soph conference.

Some of those sophomore will be key contributors.

Hope Stapleton will move

up from the 400 to the 800 and according to Jenkins, has been the strongest runner thus far.

Kinnedy Poff is a sprinter and Haley Cisketti is the only distance runner on the team. Navea Groenewold will jump and do the hurdles.

“She does a little bit of everything for us,” Jenkins said.

Jenkins sees Galena as the team to beat in the NUIC. “They also have East Dubuque and River Ridge as a part of their program,” Jenkins said. “It’s still too early to tell how we’ll do.

We haven’t even put relays together.”

Oregon AD talks about the district’s athletic goals

By Andy Colbert Reporter What does Oregon Athletic Director Mike Lawton see as the biggest challenge facing his school’s sports programs?

“We’re the smallest public school in an insanely good conference,” Lawton said.

“This isn’t your grandfather’s Blackhawk or old Big Northern (conference). Talent and enrollment-wise, we’re definitely playing with the big boys and girls, especially in football and basketball.”

Lawton sees two major factors in Oregon’s favor, though.

“The first thing we have working to our advantage are the facilities we have,” Lawton said. “We can match anyone in the conference at that level. The other is participation.”

A defined goal by the high school administration is to have high participation numbers and to specifically focus on the freshman group to instill this notion. Studies done by OHS staff have shown that kids involved in extra-curricular activities

have higher GPAs than those not involved.

“Our goal last year was to have 80 percent of the freshman involved in something, whether it was a sport, band, scholastics or any other activity,” Lawton said.

Oregon met its goal with an 81 percent for the freshman.

The sophomores were about the same at 82, the juniors 75 and seniors 71 percent.

“It’s a two-way benefit,” Lawton said. “They become more well-rounded in their high school experience and as a school, we can be more competitive in sports.

Overall, 39 students were 3-sport athletes, 95 were 2-sport and 141 out for one sport. With a total of 275 kids out for at least on sport, that is over half the student population, a figure Lawton is satisfied with.

“However, the denominator (actual enrollment) gets lower and lower,” a pragmatic Lawton said. “It’s projected to drop until 2017, level off and slowly rise again.”

For Oregon to remain competitive in the BNC, it is indeed imperative that

Oregon Athletic Director Mike Lawton says the district has quality facilities that can match any school. Photo

participation numbers remain strong. But, with today’s culture of club sports, Hawk athletics have taken a hit.

“Obviously, if a child and their family feel devoting all their time on one sport as means for a college scholarship, we have to support them,” said Lawton, careful in how he phrased the comment. “Our preference, though, is to have as many kids in school-sponsored activities as possible. Our coaches need to keep kids involved and try to secure

multi-sport athletes.”

“Low enrollment is a challenge for our coaches and sports like cross country, wrestling and track, that demand hard, physical work can also be challenge for participation,” Lawton added.

“It’s a cultural thing, not just at Oregon, but as schools all over with the advent of social media. Instead of wanting to be on a team for socialization purposes, kids can do this in other ways.”

Another concern for the athletic department is

decreased attendance at sporting events. Compared to 10-15 years ago, the crowds at basketball and football have declined, partially due to declining enrollments.

“Besides having less students, there are more and more families struggling economically,” Lawton said.

“More than 50 percent of our students are on free/reduced lunches. Families might be working or can’t afford to attend every sporting event.”

Another change is society is difficulties in getting people to join organizations, like a school’s booster club. GenoaKingston, a BNC school larger than Oregon, recently disbanded theirs, for lack of interest.

“We have a new group coming on that is actively seeking members,” Lawton said. “They have a lot of good ideas that want to put into play.”

One negative aspect of today’s prep landscape that Oregon appears to be immune to is the uncertainty of conference alignment. For decades, the Hawks have enjoyed mutually beneficial

rivalries with nearby Byron, Stillman Valley and Winnebago.

“Those rivalries go across generations,” Lawton said.

“All four schools have decided to stick together for the long haul. All for one, one for all is how we feel.”

Lawton is also excited about his alma mater Dixon joining the BNC the upcoming year.

Add Rock Falls and Mendota into the mix and Oregon is a geographic center, allowing for less travel.

“Our crowds are always better when we play Byron, Stillman and ‘Bago,” Lawton said. “With how close Dixon is to us, I think it will be the same.”

“Plus, we host so many events and post-season tournaments, that our kids have a pronounced home-field advantage,” Lawton said.

“With our facilities, other schools like coming here.

“It’s a real benefit, not just competitively and financially for Oregon, but serves as an economic engine for the community. When you have dozens of schools here, that brings money into the town.”

Sauk Valley Media Player of the Year

Lambrigtsen wins newspaper’s award — again

By Dan Woessner Sauk Valley Media Plaques hang on the wall next to both sets of doors leading into the gymnasium at the Mt. Morris Coliseum, commemorating the donation of the backboards and goals in the name of John Ghibellini.

Inscribed on each plaque is the statement: “For future Mt. Morris athletes.”

Since their installation, the plaques have witnessed the growth of those very athletes.

Hundreds of stories with various plots and climaxes, to the background score of sneakers slapping off the hardwood and voices echoing in the rafters.

Maybe of all the stories, the coliseum knows one best of all.

It starts with a 4-year-old girl named Sam skipping into the gym with her mother, Wendy, following close behind. Sam probably wore a ponytail and a smile – even now, she confesses to not having a serious face.

Sam’s arms are thin and short, and they hug the round orange orb like she would a teddy bear.

Most likely, it started with dribbling – the natural inclination being to slap at the bouncing ball rather than letting it come to her hands.

Thousands of times it bounded off the floorboards, growing with purpose each time.

The first shots tickled the bottom of the net without reaching the rim. That changed too ... boy, did it ever.

Roughly 14 years after Sam Lambrigtsen first stepped into the coliseum, she returned to talk about basketball, the future, and her life.

Lambrigtsen, the all-time leading scorer in the Oregon girls basketball program, is Sauk Valley Media’s player of the year for the second straight season.

Oregon Lady Hawks jacket that zips up in the front, a pair of jeans, and brown boots.

She brings a basketball and the keys to the coliseum.

Her mother is the president of the coliseum board. Access to the court, which is just a couple blocks away from the Lambrigtsen home, is easy for Sam. “I’m not here that much during the season,” Lambrigtsen said. “But in the summer, if I ever start getting bored, then I just come down here and start shooting. I’ve spent a lot of time here, ever since I was like 4 years old.”

The gym is where Lambrigtsen developed the skills that would lead to 2,044 points in a 4-year varsity career for the Hawks. It’s one of nine girls basketball records she holds at Oregon.

Most of her visits to the coliseum were supervised by her mother, a former basketball coach at Oregon, Home away from home or her father Boyd, an avid Lambrigtsen arrives at athlete and Sam’s constant the coliseum wearing a red foe in ping-pong on the

dining room table.

“They almost always wanted to come along,” Lambrigtsen said. “They’d be there to give me tips and push me.”

Her parents were always there, even during Wendy’s battle with breast cancer that first reared its head during her sophomore year and

continued throughout her junior season.

“She never missed a game,” Lambrigtsen said. “I told her that she could, but she wouldn’t do it.”

The left-handed sharpshooter will continue to visit the gym in the coming weeks and months as she prepares for the next step in

her playing life: college.

She hasn’t decided where that life will take place yet, but she’s keeping her options open as she looks for the right fit.

Oregon coach Kristy Eckardt has encouraged her to take her time in the Turn to B2

Samantha Lambrigtsen wins newspaperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award From B1 decision, even if that has meant countless hours on the phone for the coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken 1,000 calls from all over about her,â&#x20AC;? Eckardt said in a phone interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get a call from some school in Wyoming one day, and one from the other side of the country the next day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve told her itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something she needs to be sure about. It has to be a fit not just for basketball, but in every other way, because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to be the next 4 years.â&#x20AC;?

Growing into it The next level will bring new challenges.

Lambrigtsen has a list of skills she wants to work on, including becoming more proficient with her right hand and improving on defense.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing new for her to evolve with the circumstances.

As a freshman at Oregon, she played on a varsity team that had two seniors.

She could score from the get-go, and the points piled up against unsuspecting foes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her maturity has really been something to watch,â&#x20AC;?

Eckardt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She came up as a freshman, and she scored a lot because teams werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting it. She was able to force so many turnovers and score on the other end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The impressive thing was that once teams learned about her, they took that away ... and she still was able to find ways to score and be a force.â&#x20AC;?

Playing in the Big Northern West with highcaliber teams from Byron, Mendota and Rockford Lutheran meant the Hawks were going to be challenged most every night.

As the team evolved,

NUIC announces the boys all conference team The NUIC East Division Boys Basketball All Conference team was announced recently.

The first team includes A.J. Dollmeyer, Polo High

School, by unanimous vote, and Robert Devries, Forreston High School.

The second team includes Brian Cavanaugh, Polo High School.

so did its makeup. In her final year, Lambrigtsen was surrounded by eight other seniors. She and McKaylee Beeter both had played varsity since their freshman season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sort of was bittersweet,â&#x20AC;? Lambrigtsen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was the group that McKaylee and I started with in third grade, and we all dreamed of state. This was really the first year where we were able to play together since some of us were moved up.â&#x20AC;?

The dynamic of the team changed as well, as there were games when Lambrigtsen was forced into the post against towers like Byronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ellie Lehne. It was a challenge to give up 4 or 5 inches to players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When my mom coached us when we were younger, she made all of us learn how to defend the post,â&#x20AC;?

Lambrigtsen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, we all knew how to do it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy against really good players, but I think we made up for not having a lot of

size.â&#x20AC;?

The Hawks ended 19-12 overall, and 7-5 in the BNC West. They advanced to the sectional semifinal before falling to Prophetstown, the eventual state runner-up in Class 2A. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think about that game a lot,â&#x20AC;? Lambrigtsen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps to know that we lost to Prophetstown, which was a really good team that went on to get second. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to go farther, but winning the regional is something we were determined to do. We wanted another piece of net, and we did it.â&#x20AC;?

Brick-by-brick The bricks at the Mount Morris Coliseum will echo for a long time from Lambrigtsenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact. The record book at Oregon is dominated by her name.

But her imprint is deeper than that. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked with younger players at camps at Oregon and Mount Morris.

Her play has inspired the next generation at the school, and in the village of

3,100 residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been really good with the younger girls,â&#x20AC;? Eckardt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She helps with camps, and the girls get excited to work with her. They come to the games, and they leave wanting to play like her.â&#x20AC;?

As for coaching, Lambrigtsen expects there will be some of that in her future. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in her blood, after all, as the daughter of a coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, definitely, when my kids get into it,â&#x20AC;?

Lambrigtsen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And they definitely will be into it.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible in several years that the scene will play out again. The old coliseum will see Sam again â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this time with her own young boy or girl to guide.

Because while Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high school playing days are over, buildings like the coliseum go on, always there for the future athletes who dream big, even in small towns.

Sports Column Apply spiritual principles first

By Andy Colbert Reporter Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys basketball 2A state title game between Harrisburg and Seton Academy was known more for altercations between fans, players and coaches than the final score.

Things got ugly enough for the IHSA to consider shutting the game down at halftime.

Since then, the IHSA had asked officials to crack down on overly physical play and that sportsmanship would be a major priority for 2014.

In terms of sportsmanship, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a short list of what has transpired since the Harrisburg-Seton fiasco.

The No. 1 girls team in 4A, Homewood-Flossmoor, was hit by a lawsuit from one its

players and subsequently was barred from competing in the state tournament by the IHSA because of wrong-doings by the coach.

Chicago Curie, the No. 1 boys team in 4A, was found to have seven players being allowed to play that were academically ineligible. They were stripped of their publicleague title and forced to forfeit all 24 wins.

The 3A girls state finals was the domain of the three private schools, with the publics having little chance of competing.

To a varying degree, the same applied in 2A, as Champaign St. More with its assembled all-stars who doubled the score on Prophetstown.

When a championship game is that lopsided, something is wrong.

of 116, won the 1A girls championship. That should have been a feel-good story.

Wrong.

Earlier in the season, its coach was suspended for berating referees and got into more hot water by calling his school administrators â&#x20AC;&#x153;moronsâ&#x20AC;? and also disparaging an upcoming opponent. Keith Olbermann mocked the situation on national TV. And, questions also abounded as to how this tiny town happened to have so much basketball talent. The winning margin in the 1A title game was similar to 2A blowout.

Another feel-good story should have been Mooseheart and its kids from broken homes winning the boys 1A title. But, the story became one of lawsuits filed by the school to allow three very, very tall kids from the Sudan

to be on the team.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget about the handshaking-turned-fist fight between Rockford East and Jefferson.

To cap this year off, a major controversy occurred at the 4A tournament. A still photo in social media appeared to show Stevenson all-stater Jalen Brunson making an obscene gesture at the end of a semifinal loss to Whitney Young.

In response to this, IHSA director Marty Hickman suspended Brunson from playing in the third-place game. Brunson, with the support from his schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration, felt the photo was unrepresentative and the punishment undeserved.

Apparently, word got back to the IHSA that Stevenson was considering boycotting the third-place game if Brunson was not allowed to play. Minutes before the

game was to begin, the IHSA board made a reversal and Brunson reinstated.

In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s era of cheating, illegal recruiting, lawsuits, questionable transfers, fights between players, bad behavior by coaches, lopsided championship finals, declining attendance at state finals, complaints levied at the IHSA, negative influences of AAU club ball and overall sloppy play on the court, the Brunson incident is just one more indictment against high school basketball in Illinois.

As was mentioned two weeks ago in this column, it is a spiritual bankruptcy that is the problem, not the game of basketball itself.

If indeed this is a spiritual dilemma, those in charge â&#x20AC;&#x201D; boards of education, school administrators, coaches, IHSA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are looking at the wrong source for the solution.

Addressing it from a legalistic,

economic or societal direction has not been working.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a radical idea â&#x20AC;&#x201D; how about applying spiritual principles instead.

This column is about out of space, so perhaps at a later date, suggestions could be offered on how this could be facilitated.
