Board accepts Petrizzo’s resignation Tuesday Says he had a conflict with the board chairman By Vinde Wells Editor Differences with the county board chairman Kim Gouker are what an Ogle County Board member says led him to step down from his post only halfway

through his term. The county board accepted the resignation Tuesday of Richard Petrizzo, 77, Davis Junction, who was elected to a four-year term in November of 2012. The board also recognized him for his years of service on the board. In his resignation letter, Petrizzo said, “After a critical review of my service to the county, it is my personal belief that I have achieved

all that I can without compromising my standards and my own ethical values.” In a longer statement released Tuesday afternoon, Petrizzo filled in more of the reasons for his departure. “I resigned from the board because increasingly, the chairman and I grew further apart in our individual perspectives on the role of the chairman and board members,” Petrizzo said in his statement.

The main complaint Petrizzo laid out is that he believes Gouker micromanages the board and its committees. “I have felt that his style, as a chairman, leaves no room for major input from board members, and he has had a majority on every committee to support his agenda,” the statement read. “In addition, he spends too much time on the various committees of the board and attending

and McAuley correctly spelled rosemary, it looked like the win would go to McAuley. However, to be named champion, McAuley had to correctly spell two words in a row. An error on totalitarian, put Lydia back in the running. The next two rounds saw both girls frustrated by misses. Then Lydia got aquarium right and McAuley missed globular. The suspense heightened when Lydia then missed transcutaneous.

Quick to recover she got equine right, while McAuley slipped up on deceive. A correct spelling of permeate gave Lydia the win and a trip to the Regional Spelling Bee on Feb. 19 at Dixon High School. McAuley will be the back-up and will participate in the regional bee if Lydia is unable to. The winner of the regional bee will earn a trip to Washington D.C. to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.

Battle to the Bell School buses were already lining up to take students home from Oregon Elementary School Jan. 14 while two determined sixth graders were battling out an exciting finish to the annual spelling bee. “We might have to hold the buses,” whispered a teacher to a colleague as the clock ticked closer and closer to the 3:11 dismissal time. Literally just before the bell, Lydia Cermak correctly spelled permeate to finally triumph over classmate McAuley Humphrey after several championship rounds. Twenty-eight students in grades 4, 5, and 6 took turns spelling in the bee. Only Lydia and McAuley were left after six rounds, and then the competition became “spell-binding.” Lydia correctly spelled optional and McAuley countered with rapture. Lydia spelled hatchery and McAuley nailed janitor. When Lydia stumbled on abstinence

While some of this is appropriate, most of it takes away from time he could be doing the work of the chairman in his office or at home, as most others do.” Petrizzo said he believes Gouker should take a step back and delegate some responsibilities. “He should pull back from all of this involvement and encourage and/or assign

Another memorial on the courthouse lawn honors veterans who died in previous wars. The statue depicts a young soldier, rifle and helmet in hand, on his knees at the grave of a comrade. It is being cast at inBronze Foundry, Mt. Morris, and is expected to be ready for its first viewing in May. “The memorial is in progress,” Ossman said Jan. 13. Individuals, businesses, and organizations, including the Oregon American Legion, have come through with donations and support for various fundraisers already held, which have included dinners and raffles. “It’s been great the

A Byron school official voiced concern last week when the Ogle County Board of Review (BOR) reduced the assessment of the Byron Generating Station last week by $27 million. “Obviously we’re disappointed. Obviously this will have an impact on the school district’s revenue,” said Byron School Board President Doug Floski. “We’ll have to assess what that impact is and how we’re going to have to address it. We’ll try to do it without putting an additional burden on our other taxpayers.” The Byron School District receives the largest share of the real estate taxes from the nuclear plant. Last year that amount was just over $19 million. At an appeal hearing Jan. 14, the three-member BOR unanimously set the plant’s assessment at $482.4 million, reducing the $509.4 million assessment set last fall by Supervisor of Assessments Jim Harrison. Plant owner Exelon Nuclear appealed that assessment, claiming the plant’s value should be set

“We’ll have to assess what that impact is and how we’re going to have to address it. We’ll try to do it without putting an additional burden on our other taxpayers.” — Doug Floski Byron School Board President at $212.6 million, just 44 percent of the BOR’s number. The 2014 assessment is the basis for real estate taxes paid in 2015. After hearing an appeal from Exelon’s attorney Terry Moritz and a rebuttal from Byron School District attorney Stuart Whitt, BOR members asked Harrison how he arrived at his assessment. Harrison said he left it unchanged from the year before because Exelon has appealed that assessment to the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board (PTAB). PTAB has not yet set a date for the appeal. The 2013 assessment was based on the assessments of other Illinois nuclear generating stations owned by Exelon. The BOR upheld last year’s assessment, as well as the 2012 assessment of $499 Turn to A8

support we’ve got from the community,” Ossman said. Because the memorial honors veterans from all over the county, Ossman said the fundraising efforts are now being extended veterans’ organizations throughout the area, as well as others who wish to help. An ongoing fundraiser is the sale of pavers which will be placed at the memorial in honor of individual veterans. Anyone who has served in the military or knows someone who has can honor the veteran by purchasing a paver. The paver purchased will be engraved with the veteran’s name. Pavers can be 4x8 inches at a cost of $75 or 8x8 inches at a cost of $90. Paver ordering forms can be obtained by contacting the Oregon VFW Post 8739 at veteransvfw@hotmail.com.

NATIONAL NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION

The Oregon Republican Reporter is published weekly by Ogle County Newspapers, a division of the B.F. Shaw Printing Co. The Oregon Republican Reporter was founded in 1851 as the Ogle County Reporter. In 1889, the Ogle County Republican, a competing newspaper, was started. In 1890, the Republican was sold to Ziba Landers. Upon his death in 1939, the newspaper was assumed by his son, Ernest D. In March 1951, Paul F. Behan, owner of the Reporter, and E.D. Landers and his son E.G. (Tim) Landers united the newspapers into the Republican Reporter. Ernest D. Landers died in 1966, and E.G. and Behan became partners. Eventually, E.G. Landers assumed sole ownership, and in 1985 he sold the newspaper to B.F. Shaw Printing of Dixon, publisher of the Sauk Valley Newspapers. Ogle County Newspapers also prints the Mt. Morris Times, Forreston Journal, and Polo's Tri-County Press.

“Noises Off” begins Jan. 30 The Byron Civic Theatre will celebrate 20 years of theatre, with plenty of dancing, singing, laughing and fun with “Noises Off,” which has been called the funniest farce ever written. “Noises Off ” presents a manic menagerie as a cast of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called “Nothing’s On.” Doors slamming, on and offstage scheming, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this comic play. During this threeact performance, the

audience sees the hysterical happen from several view perspectives, including a cast who are hopelessly unread and baffled by entrances and exits, missed cues, forgotten lines, and bothersome props. Backstage provides a view that emphasizes the deteriorating relationships between the cast that lead to offstage shenanigans and onstage chaos. The play opens Friday, Jan. 30, and performances continue Jan. 31, Feb. 1, and Feb. 6-8.

Pines Rd., Oregon. Hydroponics, a method of growing plants in water instead of soil, is becoming increasingly popular for growing food indoors. Participants will learn to grow lettuce, herbs, or other vegetables inside in the middle of winter. Candice Miller, Extension

horticulture educator, will demonstrate how easy it can be to make a home hydroponic system. Miller will discuss the basics of how hydroponics works, the materials needed to build a system and the maintenance required. This hands-on workshop will allow participants to make their very own hydroponic system to take home with them. The workshop is open to the public but pre-registration is

preferred. The fee for this program is $15. All materials to build a hydroponic system are included except for aquarium air pump and grow light. For those who would like to attend the lecture but not make a hydroponics system, the fee is $5.

Fact sheet released to help Illinois tax filers in 2015 The following fact sheet was issued Jan. 16 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In preparation for the 2015 tax filing season, which officially begins next week, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released a fact sheet detailing information Illinois tax filers need to know as they prepare to file their federal returns. This tax season marks the first time individuals and families in Illinois will be asked to provide basic information regarding their health insurance on their tax returns. Consumers will have questions about this new process and the administration is committed to providing the information and tools tax filers need to understand the new requirements. In the coming weeks, the administration will continue to provide additional resources to help consumers prepare for tax filing season, including online tools to help individuals connect with local tax preparation services and determine if they are eligible for an exemption. For more information about this effort – or to request an interview with an official from the Department of Health and Human Services, contact press@cms.hhs.gov or call 202-690-6145. The 2015 tax season is the first time individuals and families will be asked for some basic information regarding their health insurance on their tax returns. While the vast majority of tax filers – over three quarters – will just need to check a box on their tax return indicating they had health coverage for all of 2014, people who purchased coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplaces, or decided not to enroll in coverage, should be aware of the additional steps that will be a part of the tax filing process starting this year. Consumers will have questions about this new process and the administration is committed to providing the information and tools tax filers need to understand the new requirements. Individuals and families with non-marketplace coverage for all of 2014 Most tax filers – over three quarters – will just need to check a box on their tax return to indicate that they had coverage all year.

These people met the Minimum Essential Coverage requirement, which means that they had the basic health coverage necessary to meet the Affordable Care Act’s standards. These individuals and families will not receive any new forms in the mail and they will not be required to fill out new forms when they file their 2014 income tax returns. What consumers need to know: When you file your tax return, you’ll need to check a box to indicate that you and your family had health insurance for all of 2014. Types of health coverage necessary to meet the Affordable Care Act’s standards (Minimum Essential Coverage) include: • most job-based plans, including retiree plans and COBRA coverage, • Medicare Part A or Part C, • Medicaid, • the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), • most individual health plans you bought outside the Marketplace, including “grandfathered” plans. (Not all plans sold outside the Marketplace qualify as minimum essential coverage.) • if you’re under 26, coverage under a parent’s plan It’s important to note that filing electronically is the easiest way to file a complete and accurate tax return. Last year, approximately 85 percent of taxpayers e-filed. Electronic filing options include free Volunteer Assistance, IRS Free File and professional assistance. Resources available to help: • Learn more about taxes if you had 2014 health coverage from another source • IRS Resource Guide: Health Care Law: What’s New for Individuals & Families Individuals and families who had a health plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace in 2014 Last year millions of people purchased quality, affordable coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace, and most benefitted from a tax credit to lower the cost of their monthly premium. Now that tax season is here, individuals and families

enrolled in a health plan through the Marketplace will need to provide some basic information about their health insurance when they file their taxes. All Marketplace consumers will receive a new statement – called a Form 1095-A – that includes all the information they need about their coverage to file their return. What consumers need to know: • You will receive Form 1095-A in the mail from the Marketplace by early February. In most states, you can also download a copy of your statement through your Marketplace account starting in late January or early February. • It’s very important to wait for your Form 1095-A to arrive before you file your taxes. If you haven’t received a Form 1095-A by early February, you should contact the Marketplace Call Center at 1-800-318-2596. TTY users should call 1-855889-4325. • When you get your Form 1095-A, you should check the information on your form — such as the number of people in your household – for accuracy. • If you find an error on your Form 1095-A, you should call the Marketplace Call Center at 1-800-3182596 to find out how to get a corrected form. • You should keep your Form 1095-A with your other important tax information, like your W-2. If a tax credit lowered your monthly premiums for health insurance in 2014, you will use your Form 1095-A to input some basic information when you file your taxes. When you signed up for health insurance, you had to estimate your income for 2014. Your estimated income determined the size of your tax credit. • Now that tax time is here, you need to compare your estimated income with your actual income – and this could impact the final amount of your tax credit. • If your income or household size changed throughout the year, it could impact the final amount of your tax credit. • You may see a smaller refund or owe money back if you underestimated your income. • You may also get a bigger refund if you overestimated

you income. • If you owe money back, there are several repayment options available. For example, if you are unable to pay immediately, you may be eligible for a payment plan or an installment agreement. • If you did not receive a tax credit to lower your monthly premiums in the Marketplace, you can visit HealthCare.gov/taxes/tools/ to get information you’ll need to enter into your tax forms to see if you might qualify. • If your Marketplace coverage started partway through 2014 and you were uninsured earlier in the year, or if you were uninsured for only a short period of time during the year, you may be eligible for an exemption from the requirement to have health coverage. You can claim the exemption on your tax return when you file. The process is fast and easy. You’ll simply select the exemption that applies to you and enter the corresponding code.

Individuals who didn’t have health coverage in 2014 While those who can afford health coverage but chose not to buy it may have to pay a fee, individuals who could not afford coverage or met other conditions can receive an exemption.

If you qualify, receiving an exemption is simple and easy, and means you won’t have to pay a fee. It is important for individuals to know that exemptions are available and to understand the steps they need to take to request one. What consumers need to know: • You can claim most exemptions on your tax return, but some exemptions are only available through the Marketplace. • There are a variety of exemptions available, including if: The cost of coverage was too expensive. This applies to you if the lowest priced plan available to you would have cost more than 8 percent of your income. Visit HealthCare.gov/taxes/ tools to get information you may need to claim the exemption for coverage being unaffordable to you in 2014. • You were uninsured for only a short period of time. • You experienced a hardship, such as if you had medical expenses that resulted in substantial debt, if a close family member passed away, or if you experienced domestic violence, among other hardships. You will need to apply to the Health Insurance Marketplace to qualify for this exemption. • For a complete list of exemptions and more information, read Information about Health Insurance Marketplace exemptions, or visit HealthCare.gov/taxes. • When you file your taxes, you will enter information about the months you had coverage and any exemptions you qualify for on your tax forms. • If you could have afforded coverage in 2014 but chose not to buy it - and you don’t qualify for an exemption - you will have to pay a fee with your federal tax return. The fee is based on your income, and how many months you didn’t have

Board honors two former Ogle County sheriffs By Vinde Wells Editor Two former sheriffs were honored Tuesday for their nearly 100 years of service in Ogle County law enforcement. The county board passed resolutions to honor Jerry Brooks, 83, Oregon, and Mel Messer, 77, Rochelle, and proclaimed Feb. 1 as Sheriff Jerry Brooks Day and Sheriff Mel Messer Day. Current Sheriff Brian VanVickle presented the

two with commendations at Tuesday’s county board meeting. According to the commendations, Brooks, who is currently a member of the county board, has served as a sworn deputy continuously since January of 1963, a total of 52 years. He served as Ogle County Sheriff from 1970 to 1990, when Messer, his chief deputy, took over the post for the next 16 years, serving through 2006. Messer has served as a

sworn deputy in the county for 45 years. Both men thanked the board for the honor, and their families, as well as others, who helped them throughout their careers. “You’ll never know how much this means to me,” Brooks said. “It’s fantastic. I didn’t expect anything like this,” Messer said. He also thanked Brooks for making him chief deputy in 1970.

attorneys that the decision would not be an easy one. “The board has a tough position to make for both sides,” he said. BOR member Robert Godman, Byron, first made a motion to set the Byron assessment at $455 million. However, neither Yockey or BOR member Mitch Montgomery, Rochelle,

seconded the motion. A second motion for $482.4 million was approved by all three. Yockey asked Moritz and Whitt if the two sides have a proposed settlement for the plant’s assessment. Both said no agreement is in the works, and that they are not involved in the negotiation process.

Jump Rope for Heart during Physical Education Classes Jan. 26-30. Last year students raised more than $5,000 for the American Heart Association (AHA). This year their goal is $5,200. The funds raised are used by the AHA for research, programs and education initiatives to fight heart disease and stroke, the nation’s number one and number three killers.

Congenital heart defects are the most common cause of infant death from birth defects. Many children are alive today because of treatments not available even 10 years ago. Funded research and advancements have changed and saved their lives. Jump Rope for Heart is a program that promotes physical activity and heart health through jumping rope. It is co-sponsored by the American Heart Association and the American Alliance for Health, Physical

Education, Recreation and Dance. The Mt. Morris and Oregon communities have successfully supported this event for the past 25 years and collectively given the American Heart Association over $80,000. Physical education teachers Tim Gipper and Lori Gipper thank the communities and school district in advance for their continued support of the students in their community service of Jump Rope for Heart.

Similar nuclear plants were assessed at $455 million million set by Harrison. Harrison told the BOR that the assessments of Exelon’s Braidwood and LaSalle nuclear plants were both recently set at $455 million. The Braidwood plant is considered to be a “twin” of Byron and is of similar age. BOR chairman Joe Yockey, Stillman Valley, told both

“It would be great if you folks could get together,” Godman said. An Exelon official voiced willingness to work toward a settlement. “Exelon is always willing to pay its fair share of property taxes,” said Byron Communications Manager Paul Dempsey after the hearing. “There are current

Attorney debunked reports of closing By Vinde Wells Editor An attorney for the Byron School District debunked reports that Exelon has plans to close its Byron Generating Station anytime soon. Stuart Whitt said it does not make sense that Exelon has listed Byron as one of three Illinois plants that could be closed as early as next year. “They’re investing hundreds of millions of dollars in that plant right now,” Whitt said during an assessment appeal hearing

Jan. 14 before the Ogle County Board of Review. Whitt supported his statement by listing recent building projects at the plant as well as Exelon’s application for a 20-year extension of the plant’s operating license. “Everybody knows this license is going to be extended,” he said. “Do you really think Exelon would expend 90,000 man-hours and $45 million for a license extension application if the plant wasn’t going to operate beyond 2026?” The plant’s current 40-year license expires in 2026. The

lengthy extension application process was begun sometime ago. Exelon officials appealed the Byron plant’s 2014 assessment of $509.4 million. Their appeal set the plant’s value at $212.6 million. Exelon attorney Terry Moritz presented information that showed that the increasing abundance of natural gas due to fracking has driven down the price of electricity, making the Byron plant and two others less profitable. He also based the value reduction on the cost of

decommissioning the plant and the efficiencies Exelon has achieved because it owns a number of nuclear plants. Whitt, however, said Exelon should not get a break for decommissioning costs because those are paid by ratepayers and set aside in a trust fund for that purpose alone. Moritz argued that Whitt based his presentation on out-dated information and has not ordered an appraisal of the plant since 2012. “Things have drastically changed,” he said. “It makes no sense.”

Public Voice Man questions Exelon about nuclear waste Dear Editor, Recently I’ve read Exelon Energy’s many full-page ads in local newspapers patting themselves on the back for clean energy production in Illinois. They also mention the jobs they create and positive economic impact. Back in the 1970s when the out-dated Byron Nuclear Plant was jammed down our throats, it was promised that

the spent radioactive fuel rods would be re-located out of the area in a timely manner, and the plant would be safely decommissioned after a set time, but to some, it’s all about the money. While no one can predict the future, if Exelon walks away from the whole mess someday for whatever reason, then we’ll really see what economic impact it has. If the waste was secretly moved — good! How and where isn’t as important as if it wasn’t. If it wasn’t we need to know when it will be, or why it won’t be, and the plan go-

ing forward. With this in our backyard we should have some of the lowest electric rates in the nation. It’s time to question Exelon, and our county, state, and federal leaders! Thank you, Randy Becker Oregon

Superintendent thanks drivers Dear Editor, The Forrestville Valley School District would like to take this opportunity to say

thank you to our bus and van drivers for ensuring the safe transport of students. The drivers’ dedication to safety and commitment to the community are truly appreciated. Therefore, please help us to celebrate Bus Driver Appreciation Week in the Forrestville Valley School District, Feb. 2 through Feb. 6 by a kind word, a note of thanks, or a gesture of appreciation to our drivers.

economic challenges facing the plant that may have been reflected in the board’s final decision. Regardless, we are always open to a long-term deal that can give both sides some certainty on taxes in the coming years.” Exelon paid more than $34 million in real estate taxes last year to 11 taxing bodies, which besides the Byron School District, includes Ogle County, Rockvale Township, Oregon School District, Oregon Park District, Byron Fire District, Rock Valley College, Byron Public Library District, Byron Museum District, Byron Forest Preserve District, and Kishwaukee Community College. The Byron plant began generating electricity in 1985 when Unit 1 came online, followed two years later by Unit 2. The value of the plant has frequently been disputed throughout the history of the facility. Both Exelon and the Byron School District appealed the plant’s 2012 and 2013 assessments to the BOR, and then appealed the BOR decisions for both years to

PTAB, which has not yet heard either one. A four-year agreement between the taxing bodies and Exelon for the plant’s assessment expired at the end of 2011. The agreement, approved in November of 2010, set the assessed value of the nuclear plant at $450 million for 2008, $460 million in 2009, $470 million in 2010, and $480 million in 2011. Besides setting the plant’s value, the agreement settled a lawsuit and numerous tax appeals filed between 2005 and 2008. Commonwealth Edison, which formerly owned the plant, filed its first tax in 1989 when the assessment was more than $1 billion. The following year, the affected taxing bodies formed the Ogle County Intergovernmental Agency Board to fight the tax appeals. The first multi-year agreement, approved in early 1998, set the assessments for 1997-2004 at $471 million and settled a decade of lawsuits and tax appeals. A PTAB decision then was the basis for the assessment.

The academic bowl teams from David L. Rahn Junior High concluded their regular season on Dec. 13, when they hosted the Route 72 Conference Academic Bowl meets. Teams from AshtonFranklin Center, Byron, Forreston, Pecatonica, Polo, Winnebago and DLR participated in the event. The seventh grade competed first. DLRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first opponent was Polo. The Marcos were the first team on the scoreboard but the Eagles came roaring back with correct answers from Nolan Thomas and Jacob Davis. By the midpoint of the match, the Eagles were leading, 90-40. The scoring stagnated in the second half but DLR held on for the 11570 win. The Eagles were aided by correct responses from Thomas, Davis, Meghan Gracyalny and Case Sellers. Forreston was the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second round foe. The Cardinals showed why they were eventual conference

champions by demolishing the DLR, 160-50. Sellers and Gracyalny provided the only two right â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;toss-upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; responses. In the third place match, the Eagles were up against Byron. Both teams started slowly. Byron was ahead at the break, 20-0. The Eagles regrouped to pull within one question, late in the match. Both teams failed to provide the exact answer to the final math questions and the Tigers held on for third place, 60-70. Gracyalny and Eli Rufer sparked the Eagles. The seventh grade team took home fourth place ribbons. The third-seeded eighth grade Eagles began the competition against Polo. The Eagles were out of the gate quickly with correct answers from Brigham Finch and Blake Donmeyer. The match was close at the half with DLR leading, 5045. The Eagles dominated the last half of the match for the 140-45 win. Donmeyer, Finch, Madalin Russell and Evan Ruthe

provided the team spark with correct responses. In round two, the Eagles faced the second-seeded Tigers of Byron. The Eagles took the match away from the Tigers early as they answered eight of the first ten â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;toss-upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; questions correctly. Byron made a short-lived comeback in the second half but the Eagles prevailed, 210-90. Donmeyer led the Eagles with six correct responses. Bailey Nelson, Matthew VanderKolk and Finch also contributed. In the championship round, the Eagles were up against a strong Winnebago team. The Indianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two scholars took the Eagles completely out of their game. DLR could never recover as they dropped the match, 80-205. Ruthe and VanderKolk had right answers for the Eagles. DLRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eighth grade concluded their successful season with a second place finish at the conference meet and third place in the final conference standings.

SECTION B

Thursday, January 22, 2015

Joe Miranda lone bowler to advance to sectional Hawks finish in eighth at tough regional Jan. 17 By Andy Colbert Reporter After rolling its best series (3,649) of the season the night before against Lutheran, the Oregon boys bowling team had hopes of landing one of the four sectionalqualifying spots at the Freeport regional on Jan. 17. Instead, the Hawks settled for eighth place out of 11 teams. The one bright spot was junior Joe Miranda earning an at-large berth for the sectional. Miranda had a 1,257 to place third among the 10 at-large (not on a qualifying team) individuals. Joe has struggled in tournaments as the lanes dry out,” Oregon coach Al Nordman said. “Saturday, he got better and was able to bowl his average. He went from

being off the pace to making it.” Miranda’s style is such that he plays a slightly different line than other bowlers. He uses more side rotation of the ball, enabling him to play more in the center of the lane. He advances to this Saturday’s sectional at Lakeside Lanes in Mundelein against some of the best bowlers in the Chicago suburban area. Just missing out on joining Miranda as a sectional qualifier was AJ Nordman, who had a 1,158. The final qualifier had a 1,174. It was particularly disappointing because Nordman started off with a 255 and was one of the early tourney leaders. “He started leaving strange stuff after that,” coach Nordman said. “He was making great shots, but went 22 games with out two strikes in a row. He was crushing the pocket and the pins wouldn’t fall.” While Nordman would not top 200 again in his final

five games, him and his dad tried to fix what was wrong. “We tried different bowls and land placement angles and it didn’t help,” the elder Nordman said. Josh Cook finished his 2-year career with a 1,072 to be the No. 3 Hawk bowler. Jacob Coleman was close behind with a 1,027. Kyle Lundquist bowled five games and had a 911 and senior Jordan Mingus rounded out the scoring with a 135. “This was a very strong regional with the Rockford schools and Dixon,” Nordman said. Rockton Hononegah won the regional with a score of 6,479. The other three sectional qualifiers were Dixon, Freeport and Jefferson, though none topped 6,000. Last year, Oregon placed third at the regional. “It was an uncanny, strange year,” Nordman said. “We lost every close game – five times by less than 10 pins. For example, we lost to Rockford Christian by three pins and they have someone

gular meet. Only one referee showed up for the contest so there were long delays between the meets. As a result Oregon Coach Mike Guzman decided not to take another long wait

to wrestle against Lutheran where there would have only been three matches anyway. The result of the day was two wins for Oregon, defeating Riverdale 46-21 and Princeton 45-23 to extend their dual meet win streak to

bowl a 300.” Oregon did have a resounding finish to conference play by claiming the BNC title the week before. That was also a comeback win, after trailing going into the final game. “Without a doubt, that was

our high point,” Nordman said. “We also came back from 150 pins down to take second at the LaSalle-Peru tournament.” With all of the top bowlers in the Big Northern underclassmen, including regional champ Derek Poole (1,415)

of Winnebago, Nordman realizes things won’t get any easier next year. “This year, we only had two regular returners (Miranda and Nordman) and had to step it up. Next year, we’ll have to do the same,” Nordman said.

Wrestlers defeat Riverdale, Princeton on Jan. 17 By Randy Holland

The Hawk wrestlers travelled to Rockford for their annual quad meet against Lutheran, Riverdale, and Princeton on Jan. 17, but it ended up being only a trian-

seven. The good-sized crowd of Hawk fans were treated to some fine wrestling and several exciting matches as the Hawks are building strength and confidence as the season goes on.

The Riverdale meet started with two JV matches, both won by Oregon. Sawyer Foss rode out the third to take a 4-1 win and Terry Page made a half nelson off a reverse attempt at 3:08. Varsity action started at 126 and saw Skylar Carlson coming from behind and riding tough in the third to take an 8-7 win. At 132, Anton Aba-Varela was put in a half nelson at 3:39. At 138, Zim Granados had a reverse to the back with a granby but went to overtime tied at six. He lost a takedown 25 seconds into the fourth period to lose 8-6. Then the Hawks went on a 43-point run starting with a forfeit to Corey Grady at 145 and a 9-1 major decision by Dominic Marchetti at 152, finishing the match with a three point chicken wing. After a double forfeit at 160, Garrett Rude took a forfeit at 170. In the 182 pound match, John Ghibellini went

from a turk to a half nelson at 1:12. Matt Stevens added six more at 195, his second chicken wing good for a pin at 3:40. David Labash took a forfeit at 220 followed by Matt Crandall at 285, sucking his opponent back in a reverse half at 1:35. At 106 Christopher Alaniz had two takedowns and a reverse to win 6-0. Oregon forfeited 113 and 120 to end the meet. Brayton Finch got a JV match against Princeton, going from a single to a double to a cradle in 50 seconds. Varsity wrestling started at 132 with Granados going to overtime tied at six again. He had two points on a granby and apparently two more on a turk in the third, but the second got lost in the shuffle as he was dinged for a penalty point. He lost a takedown with 12 seconds left in the first overtime and dropped his Turn to B2

Lady Hawks fall to Rock Falls 60-45 in BNC action By Andy Colbert Reporter Is Emy Wright worth 30 points a game to the Oregon basketball team? If numbers don’t lie, she sure is. On Dec. 9 with Wright in the line-up, the Lady Hawks

beat Rock Falls by 15 points. This past Saturday at the Blackhawk Center without Wright (out for the year with an ACL injury), it was a 15-point win for Rock Falls, 60-45, its first in BNC play. “Oregon still gets after it,” Rock Falls (10-10, 1-6)

coach Eric Wolf. “They want to say that even though we don’t have Wright, we still want to prove we’re a good team.” Much to Wolf’s dismay, the Lady Hawks were proving that for much of the game. After staying with the

Lady Rockets for the first half, Oregon (11-11, 3-6) even managed to pull ahead 35-31 midway through the third quarter. Unfortunately for Oregon, a 21-2 run by Rock Falls eliminated any hopes of pulling out the upset.

“It took us awhile to get moving, but our girls woke up,” Wolf said. “We started to execute down low.” Seniors Bailey Schrader and Dallas Clevenger ignited the rally with a combined 10 points to put the Lady Rockets up 41-37. Then Emily Sauer took over. The 5’-8” sophomore made a pair of free throws and then stole the ball and scored on a lay up. She added another free throw and another basket and suddenly it was 48-37. “She’s worker,” Wolf said. Oregon’s second best player behind Wright is Kelsey Pudlas and Pudlas had to sit out the second half after spraining her ankle with seconds left in the first half. “That hurt losing her,” Oregon coach Kristy Eckardt said. “The difference, though, was that Rock Falls stayed aggressive and we weren’t. We played timid.” An old-fashioned 3-pointer by Abbee Sigel, along with Chelsea Blair creating turnovers helped make it 52-37 with under four minutes left in the game. Oregon only scored two points in an 8-minute stretch between the third and fourth quarter. “In the second half, the whole team was playing good. It’s nice to break a 3-game losing streak,” Wolf said.

Sauer and Clevenger both had 15 points, while Oregon was led by Anni Wilson with 13. Ally Bartling and freshman Bailey Montavon added eight and Bella Holley and Abby Newman five each. “For a freshman, Bailey was calm under pressure,” Eckardt said. “She gets in a battles. She had a fantastic game.” Wilson was also impressive driving the court, often after steals, and converting for scores. Al around, the Lady Hawks had a balanced attack. From the outset of the second quarter, six different players scored in a row. Then, in the best offensive play of the game for Oregon, precision passing by four different Lady Hawks resulted in Montavon scoring a basket to cut the lead to 24-29. “We did a nice job in the first half of breaking and seeing the cutter,” Eckardt said. Oregon tied to game 27-27 going into the second half on a pair of Emily Perkins free throws. Perkins was one of three underclassmen that saw action for Oregon. “We might even have to start using more of them,” said Eckardt, who was also missing junior guard Alli Henson due to a concussion. “I think we kind of got worn down in the second half.”

Hawk wrestlers defeat GK, Stillman Valley on Jan. 13 By Randy Holland

Hawk grapplers garner wins From B1 second 8-6 decision of the day. Aba-Varela took a forfeit at 138 to give the Hawks a 6-3 lead. At 145, Grady started with an arm drag takedown and went from a turk to a reverse half for a pin a 1:26. Dominic Marchetti took a forfeit at 152. Page took his man down to his back with an outside single and ran a wing for a fall at 2:58. At 170, Devin DeHaan had

a nice shot but was countered down and stacked up for a fall in 45 seconds. Up at 182, Rude had an outside single and lost two escapes for the only scores in regulation. He couldn’t convert his chances in the first overtime and lost an escape in the second extra period to drop a tough 3-2 decision when he was unable to answer in the third OT. Stevens led 10-2 when he ran a wing for a fall at 4:55.

The wing was also the hold of choice for Labash in the 220 pound match, hooking it up at 1:53. Anthony Marchetti took a forfeit at 285. Alaniz lost a 16-1 technical fall at 4:07 in the 106 pound match, on his back in cradles three times. Two forfeits by Oregon followed and the meet ended with an 11-6 win by Carlson, scoring two takedowns and two nearfalls with chicken wings.

Bowlers finish regular season The Oregon Boys Bowling team ended it’s regular season by shooting a season high 3646 series and the second highest series in the NIBC Conference this season. However, Rockford Lutheran shot the highest score of the season defeating Oregon 3690-3646 at Town & Country Lanes, Mt. Morris. Jan. 9. Oregon falls to 8-5 on the season and finishes 3rd in the NIBC.

The Hawk wrestlers travelled to Mendota on Jan. 13 to face the Trojans and the Sterling Newman Comets. Oregon came away with two dual meet wins, 42-31 over Newman and 54-18 over Mendota. Both meets featured forfeits as just six matches were contested on the mat in the opening meet against Newman and only four against the hosts. Pinning for Oregon against Newman were John Ghibellini at 182 pounds with an arm bar at 1:45, and Cole Burke at 195 pounds with a cradle at 3:38. Both wrestlers came from behind for the wins. Those were the only wins on the mat for the Hawks. At 126 pounds, Skylar Carlson lost a 13-3 major decision. At 132, Anton AbaVarela was pinned with a chicken wing at 1:28. At 170, Terry Page was taken down in a chicken wing at 3:03. David Labash had a battle at 220, giving up a takedown and escaping in the first, but unable to get through the covering tactics of his opponent in a tough 2-1 loss. Receiving forfeits for the Hawks were Nathan Clark at 138, Jordan Rogers at 152, Sawyer Foss at 160, Anthony Marchetti at 285, and Chris Alaniz at 106. Oregon forfeited at 113 and 120. In the Mendota meet, Page put in the wing at 1:29, and Burke drove his man down to his back at 1:24. Alaniz turned with a chicken wing and his opponent was injured on the move and he by injury default. In the other contested match, Clark was taken down and put in a cradle in 44 seconds. Taking forfeits for the Hawks were Aba-Varela at 132, Jordan Rogers at 152, Foss at 160, Matt Stevens at 220, and Marchetti at 285. Weights 113 and 152 were double forfeits and the Hawks forfeited at 182 and 120. In exhibition action, Foss went from a wing to a half nelson in one minute flat. Stevens turned with a chicken wing in 50 seconds. With four sets of backpoints, Corey Grady rolled up a 17-2 technical fall at 5:12. Rogers ran a wing a

the start of the second and pinned at 2:34. Page worked his way into a crook and pinned in 55 seconds. On Jan. 15, the wrestlers returned to the Blackhawk Center and notched two more wins, defeating GenoaKingston 42-27 and trouncing Stillman Valley 54-15 in the nightcap, the first win over the Cardinals in several years. Wrestling started at 106 against the Cogs. Alaniz reversed to start the third and worked into a half nelson at 5:15. A string of forfeits followed, the Hawks giving up 6 at 113, double forfeits at 120 and 126, and G-K receiving a forfeit at 132. Zim Granados, Grady, and Dominic Marchetti took forfeits in the next three weight classes. At 160, Caleb Mennen countered off the head for the first takedown and put on the butcher at 1:00. At 170, Sawyer Foss was working for a reversal when he got caught in a cradle and pinned at 1:01. John Ghibellini hooked up a cradle at 1:21. At 195, Tyler Burke was driven to his back at 1:27. David Labash made up those points in short order, an outside single and a wing over in 51 seconds. The meet ended on a tough 6-4 loss by Matt Stevens at 285, closing within two at the end, but unable to score in the waning seconds. The Stillman meet started at 120 with a forfeit by Oregon, followed by Carlson getting turned in a chicken

wing at 1:15. At 132, Aba-Varela won by forfeit. At 138, Granados had a power half for two points in the second, but lost a takedown and a reverse to go down 4-2. The Hawks were down 156, but a run of four forfeits mixed in with five pins and a decision put 48 Oregon points on the board. Stillman’s only answer was a forfeit at 113, the final match of the night. Taking the free passes were Grady, Rogers, Brayton Finch, and Stevens. At 160, Mennen pinned with a cradle at 4:36.

Jacob Cox pinned with a wing and a stack at 1:22, and Anthony Marchetti worked the half at 3:35. In a second match, Marchetti had two sets of backpoints in the first before hooking up a wing at 2:42. Devin DeHaan went from a half nelson to a headlock at 3:28. Jeff Gracyalny was on his back twice in a 13-3 major decision loss. Nick Heinze lost a takedown to his back in 38 seconds.

super-sectional? It’s possible. Lutheran has much easier road, funneling through northern Illinois 3A competition, whereas Dixon’s route takes them through the Peoria area. Hands down, 3A size schools from around Peoria have been much stronger than the Rockford area for decades. On the wrestling beat, Oregon and Polo will be at the toughest 1A regional in the state. The No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the state, Dakota and Byron, will be there, along with Le-Win, who won the 30-team St. Thomas More Invite over the holidays. How good are Dakota and Byron? Dakota beat the best from the NIC-10, Hononegah and Harlem, on Friday and then came back to nearly knock off perennial power Montini on Saturday, only losing 3531. Competing against mostly 2A and 3A schools, Byron finished second a 20-team invite on Saturday. Polo will host the dual team sectional and Oregon the individual sectional, which promises to be far and away the best in 1A, as it has been for several years. Last year, 18 of the 28 individual state finalists came from that sectional.

According to the illinoismatmen.com rankings, Oregon’s best chance for a state qualifier is Dominic Marchetti. The 152-pound senior is ranked eighth in 1A. Ethan Cain is Polo has a No. 4 ranking at 170, but is behind two wrestlers from Dakota and Byron that will be at the same sectional. The top four from each weight class advance downstate, so it looks promising for Cain to make a return trip and perhaps earn a coveted medal. Also at 170 is Garrett Rude of Oregon, who has some work to do to get to Champaign, site of the state meet. Marchetti has a much favorable grouping.

Sports Column By Andy Colbert Reporter With wrestling and girls basketball regionals a little over two weeks away, it’s time to look at post-season pairings for winter sports. Similar to last year, when the local boys had a loaded 1A regional at Forreston, it’s the girls turn in 2015. At the 1A site in Polo, not only will the No. 1 team in the state (Prophetstown) be present, but also AFC and Eastland. For the senior-

laden Marcos, it is a nearly impossible task to fathom. Forreston has a bit easier road at Dakota, but Freeport Aquin might be the best team in the NUIC. It’s a shame Oregon lost Emy Wright for the year. They got absolutely one of the most fortuitous regional assignments possible. With nary a heavyweight in the bunch, the Fulton 2A regional is still theirs for the taking and don’t be surprised if they get the No. 1 seed. On the boys side, an

improving Oregon has a much rougher road, with traditional roadblocks Winnebago and Byron in the way. The 1A boys regional at Erie is wide open between Forreston, Eastland, Annawan, Milledgeville, Polo and Prophetstown, certainly a much different scenario than what Polo and Forreston faced in 2014. With Eastland and Milledgeville down compared to last year, Annawan a non-factor and

Erie and Prophetstown with losing records, the Marcos and Cardinals could be the teams to beat. After watching Polo and Forreston go at it Friday, it’s a toss-up. Forreston is more refined and polished, while Polo comes at you scrapping like junkyard dogs. The real struggle comes in the sectional with the likes of Freeport Aquin and East Dubuque, though Polo and Forreston recently gave Aquin all they could handle. And other than Byron, East Dubuque hasn’t played a really strong team. It wouldn’t be out of the question for either Polo or Forreston to not only win the regional, but also the sectional. Just how good is the Big Northern west division in both boys and girls roundball? Last year, a combined seven teams won regional titles in either 2A or 3A. Look for more of the same in 2015 with Dixon, Lutheran and Winnebago likely repeat boy winners, along with the Byron, Lutheran and Mendota girls. The Oregon girls are the wild card to make it seven winners again. After their triple overtime game last Tuesday, could we see the Dixon and Lutheran boys face one another in the

Byron Revitalization Community draw down March 14 Byron Community Revitalization’s annual “Pot of Gold” draw-down fundraiser, will be Saturday, March 14 at PrairieView Golf Pavilion. Sponsorships and business marketing opportunities are now available. The event once again features a $3,000 Grand Prize. “This has always been a much-anticipated community event,” said Jamie Buck, BCR Board President. “It’s also an important fundraiser for BCR’s community improvement projects.

Transportation plan meetings are Jan. 22 and Jan. 23

“Proceeds from last year’s Pot of Gold allowed BCR to give a $1,000 high school scholarship and helped provide numerous facade improvement grants to Byron-area businesses. “Donations were also made to Operation Santa and to the local food pantry.” Business may use Pot of Gold in two ways to get their name out: The first is sponsorships of $100-$500 will allow a business to sponsor special prizes, black jack games, or to help sponsor the signature $3,000 grand prize. The second is for businesses to give prizes to

the event such as items or gift cards that have a minimum $10 value. Many businesses do both. “Businesses will receive credit for their sponsorships in all publicity surrounding the event, daily on Facebook and throughout the evening the night of the event,” Buck said. “This is a wonderful way for businesses to be recognized and, at the same time, help support a great cause.” This year’s Pot of Gold event will include a cash bar and complementary beer. The event also includes a heavy hors d’oeuvre buffet
