Statue assessment continues From A1 Restorationists will then match that when making repairs. A team of experts spent nearly a week in October examining the damage to the statue and performing tests. Engineers used high-tech scanners which allowed them to see inside the concrete to assess its condition and to determine the amount and location of steel reinforcing. The locations of the steel were then marked on tape placed on the statue’s hollow interior. Another crew scanned the statue with rotating lasers to create an exact 3-D model of the statue. The testing, which also included ground-penetrating radar work and ultrasonic tomography, was finished Oct. 11. Created by sculptor Lorado Taft in 1911 as a tribute to all Native Americans and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the statue is situated on a 125-foot bluff. It draws thousands of visitors
each year. Rausa and the Friends of the Black Hawk Statue have been working to secure funding for the repairs. He said that, ironically, federal grants for restoration projects dried up about the time the statue was approved for the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. The cost for the assessment and repairs was originally estimated at $625,000. Much of that money has been raised. Rausa, a member of The Friends of the Blackhawk Statue Committee, said the price tag for the study and repairs is up to $700,000 now and could go even higher. More than half the money already raised for the project came from a $350,000 grant the IDNR received from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. The rest came from donations, as well as funds raised during the annual Oregon Trail Days festival held at Lowden Park since 2010.
A large contributor was the Jeffris Family Foundation, Janesville, Wis., which gave a $150,000 matching grant. Recently the Chicago Black Hawks hockey team got on board with what Rausa said is a sizable donation, although he declined to specify how much. The statue is under the jurisdiction of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Repair work is expected to begin as soon as the weather is warm enough in the spring. Rausa said he hopes enough money will be raised so that the original pinkish color of the statue can be restored. The hue came from pink granite chips mixed into the concrete when it was poured. To donate to the statue funds checks can be made out to the Illinois Conservation Foundation and marked for the Black Hawk Statue. Donations can be mailed to Illinois Conservation Foundation, One Natural Resources Way, Springfield
Polo police remain on the lookout for a man who is accused of sexually molesting an 11-year-old boy last month. “We haven’t received anymore reports or sightings or leads,� Police Chief Dennis Christen said Monday. “We’re keeping our eyes open.� Christen issued a news release March 6 that said early last month a man stopped the boy, who was walking home from school, and groped the child’s genitals. The press release was issued a day after the boy reported the incident, which is believed to have happened about 3:30 p.m. around Feb. 5 in the 100 block of South Pleasant Avenue, just two blocks from Centennial Elementary School. Authorities are looking for the man based on the boy’s detailed description. The man physically stopped the boy and groped him, but did not speak to the youth, according to the
release. The boy told police he hit the man in the face, causing him to release the child, who ran home. “The juvenile decided not to tell anyone about the incident until now,� the release said. Before the incident, the boy had seen the man five different times in the area of South Prairie Avenue and East Mason Street, but hadn’t spotted him since. According to the police description, the man is white, between 50 and 60 years old, five feet, 11 inches tall, thin build with bright blue or baby blue eyes and white hair. He was not wearing glasses or gloves. He had white facial hair that looked like he hadn’t shaved in several days, according to the police. The man’s upper lip was normal but his lower one had a triangular hump in the middle. His fingers were crooked, possibly arthritic. He was wearing a blue jumpsuit, believed to be coveralls, and a black stocking hat. Under the coveralls was some type of
coat with a blue hood that was also pulled up over his stocking hat. He wore black, lace-up winter boots. Christen, who has been with the department for 24 years, said he has seen “nothing quite like this.� “It’s odd how it happened,� he said. “The typical thing is they try to lure them away from the street. I have discussed this with my officers. We’re keeping an eye out.� Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call the Polo Police Department at 815-946-3412. Christen said parents should be sure their children have safe methods of travel to school. “Hopefully, parents are keeping an eye on their kids to make sure they get safely to and from school,� he said. If they must walk, be sure they walk with a friend and make them aware to avoid strangers and to report any suspicious activity immediately, he advised. Sauk Valley Media contributed to this article.
Maxson’s reopens March 23 From A1 chefs, have been remodeling and updating the restaurant to get ready for the reopening. Although the restaurant will be open, Semmerling said it is anybody’s guess when the Pride of Oregon will sail again. “That all depends on how soon the ice goes out of the
river,� she 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 on March 27, 1993, but it was rebuilt and reopened in the summer of 1994.

County board changed district lines after census From A1 The configuration of the county board changed in 2012 after board districts were reapportioned following the 2010 census. The county board
candidates running in 2014 drew two-year terms. The population shifts indicated by the census meant increasing county board districts from four to eight. Consequently, some board members elected in 2012
drew two-year terms, while other drew four-year terms. Each district is represented by three county board members. Other seats on the ballot are U.S. Senate and House of Representatives,
Second District Appellate Judge, Illinois Governor and Lieutenant Governor, Illinois Secretary of State, Illinois Comptroller, Illinois Treasurer, State Senators, and Representatives to the Illinois General Assembly.
Candidates successful in the March primary will be on the ballot for the Nov. 4 General Election. The only referendum on the ballot in the county is in Stillman Valley, where village officials are seeking
a one percent sales tax hike which will be used to fund public infrastructure improvements. The polls are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day. For election results go to www.oglecounty.org.
Central Union Telephone connected local residents Editor’s note: Otto Dick, Oregon, has researched the people, places, and events important in Oregon’s history for the Ogle County Historical Society. The following is part of a series of the articles he has written. By Otto Dick Hello! In 1885 the Central Union Telephone Company established the first telephone service in Ogle County. A central telephone was placed in our larger towns. You paid a toll to use the phone. A few years later you could place a long distance call to Chicago and St. Louis. In 1886 the local newspaper reported phones at the Sinnissippi House, Circuit Clerk’s office, Jewett’s residence, Depot, Furniture Factory, George P. Jacobs, County Clerk, Jewett’s store, Sheriff, Mix Mill, Dr. Chappell, Dr. Mix and Oregon Manufacturing. By 1901 telephone lines also supplied rural areas of Ogle County. We have a note at the Ogle County Historical Society dated 1879 saying Frank Gilbert had a phone from his house to Sheet’s Tin Shop, a distance of one-half mile. The Central Telephone Company was a subleased company of the Bell Telephone Company. At this time Bell had a monopoly serving only the larger cities. Later the Central Union Telephone Company,
followed by the Rock River Telephone Company, followed by the DeKalb-Ogle Telephone had their offices in the old Goings Building. We have a letter sent by the DeKalb-Ogle Telephone Company to Evelyn Burright, Oregon City Clerk, dated April, 10, 1958. Dear Madam, You have probably heard that fast, accurate, dial telephone service is scheduled for Oregon. All telephone numbers in Oregon will have to be changed to meet the requirements of the dial system. We suggest that you limit your orders for stationery, advertising, and any other items imprinted with your present telephone number. Your new telephone number will be 2-6321. If you give to the operator this number before dial service begins she can only report, “No Such Number.� A new Oregon-Mt. Morris Telephone Directory with all new numbers in it for Oregon Subscribers is being printed and will be distributed. If necessary, one of our representatives will be glad to explain the few simple things you will want to know about dialing before the change to dial service begins. Cordially, Don Edmond DeKalb- Ogle Telephone Manager
Fifty years before Oregon was founded the Continental Congress established a postal service. The first U. S. Telegraph long distance telegraph line was established 10 years after Oregon was founded. Samuel Morse sent the first Telegraph message. Can you believe Oregon survived the first 50 years without telephones? When I lived with my folks in Indiana we had the party line telephone. Turning the hand crank rang the bells of every one on that line. The exchange operator would update everyone on the party line of local and national news. The phone was used by adults only.
The Central Union Telephone Company, followed by the Rock River Telephone Company, followed by the DeKalb-Ogle Telephone had their offices in the old Goings Building on North Fourth Street.
Finally, our Native Americans used smoke signals to communicate.

Forreston alumnus will direct choir March 19
The choir from North Fayette Valley High School, West Union, Iowa, will perform March 19 at Oregon High School, under the direction of Forreston native Doug Poppen. The school’s band will also perform at the concert. Photo supplied
OHS play is this weekend Oregon High School students will perform “Once Upon a Mattress� on March 14-16 in the OHS Music Room. “Once Upon a Mattress� is a musical comedy based loosely on the “Princess and the Pea.� Queen Aggravain rules the county and is trying to stop her son Prince Dauntless from getting married. At the same time, she has decreed that no one in the kingdom
may marry before her son. Princess Winnifred the Woebegone, a feisty, independent, and freethinking princess, arrives at the castle, passes Queen Aggravian’s unfair test, and wins the heart of Prince Dauntless. The show features Emma Crandall as Queen Aggravain, Jacob Ebens as Prince Dauntless, and Ashley Denton as Princess Winnifred.
Performance times are 7 p.m. on Friday, March 14 and Saturday, March 15. On Sunday, March 16, the show begins at 2 p.m. Doors open one half hour prior to the performance, with general admission seating for all ticket holders.

Doug Poppen, a 1977 graduate of Forreston High School, returns to his home state for a choir and band concert scheduled for Wednesday, March 19 at Oregon High School. The performance, set for 7:30 p.m., will feature the choirs and band from North Fayette Valley High School, West Union, Iowa. “This is the first time I have taken the full choir to Illinois. I believe it was 1990 when I took our swing choir, which at that time consisted of about 15 students, so this is a much larger group,� Poppen said. The stop in Oregon is the first leg of a trip to Washington D.C., where the band and chorus will perform and do some sightseeing. Accompanying Poppen on the trip are high school band director Ted Schacherer, high school and middle school choir director Janet Helgerson, middle school and elementary band director Linda Johansen, and several parent chaperones. After the concert in Oregon on March 19, the group will
go on to Washington D.C., eventually returning home on March 24. Poppen, the son of Rogene and the late Alfred Poppen, rural Forreston, attended Wartburg College, Waverly, Iowa, graduating in 1981. He also has a master’s degree from the University of Iowa, which he received the same year he began working at what was then North Fayette High School. Just this past year the school entered a whole grade sharing agreement with Valley Community Schools, a neighboring school district. As a result Poppen and his fellow music instructors have enjoyed larger groups of students to work with in band and chorus. “I am so blessed to work with this group of kids. The union of our students in the choir is nothing less than great. There is so much talent here, it almost scares me sometimes,� Poppen said. Poppen works with the junior and senior choir members, while Helgerson works with the freshmen and sophomores. There is an 11th
and 12th grade choir, a 9th and 10th grade choir, and a chamber choir. Schacherer directs the high school band, while Johansen also works with high school band members by giving lessons. The school has a concert band as well as a jazz band. Both schools had strong music programs before whole grade sharing occurred, and with “one� ratings already achieved at some large group contests this year it seems the tradition will continue. “I am very excited about the concert we will be having at the high school in Oregon. It is a great opportunity for our kids to gain more experience performing for a large audience, and of course it is special for me since it will be held near my hometown,� Poppen said. Wednesday night’s concert will include performances by the concert band, the 11th and 12th grade choir, the 9th and 10th choir, and two pieces with the combined choirs. A free will donation will be accepted and the public is encouraged to attend.

Princess Ozma gets word that some of her subjects are considering going to war with each other, which she has outlawed. She and Dorothy set out to meet with them and prevent the scuffle. They become trapped and Glinda along with the delightful Oz characters

Girl Scouting and spiritual expression that spans the organization’s history. The Girl Scout experience is based on the Girl Scout Promise and Law, which include principles and values common to most faiths. Girl Scouts is also nonpartisan, secular, and inclusive. It’s membership, which currently consists of three million girls and volunteers as well as more than 59 million alumnae, includes women and girls of varied religious traditions. In remaining secular, the intent is not to minimize a girl’s religious experience; to the contrary, Girl Scouts is a place where girls of all faiths can honor their spirituality while at the same time embracing the diversity of the Girl Scout Movement. Faith-based awards include religious recognitions as well as the My Promise, My Faith pin. In addition, many faithbased communities offer programs, in conjunction with Girl Scouts, which recognize local girl members. Adult volunteers from faith-based organizations partner with girls by connecting the My Promise, My Faith pin to their faith’s own religious recognitions. They guide girls through their personal faith journey and helping them understand their faith intellectually and spiritually.

4-H Ambassador spotlights grandfather Stan Eden By 4-H Ambassador, Michaela Eden 4-H Spotlight: Stan Eden This year the Ogle County 4-H Ambassador team decided to do 4-H Spotlight News Article each month. Each 4-H Spotlight will be written by one of our seven 4-H Ambassadors on a different person who has helped and supported the Ogle County 4-H program, and to find out how they got to where they are now in the 4-H program. This month’s spotlight is about Stan Eden, from Oregon, written by his granddaughter Michaela Eden, Oregon. Stan is a great supporter of 4-H and Agriculture program. He started his 4-H career in the Woodbine Ranger 4-H club. He had numerous projects such as swine, gardening, corn, and the tractor project. I asked him what his
favorite memory was when he was in 4-H and he replied the tractor driving contests. He remembers very fondly the instructor, Bill Hubbard of Kings. He told many tales of the contest; and what it enquired. In his swine project, he remembers his Chester White pigs and being able to farrow his own sow. I also asked him what he wished he could do more of in his past and current experience. He said he would like to help with more projects that correspond with other people and help organize and achieve their goals. Stan has held many careers and involvement in the agricultural programs to this day. He was a Unit Educator in Crops and Environment for Ogle County and has been deeply involved in the Cooperative Extension Service. He has had the honor
of receiving the National Association of County Agricultural Agents and is currently in the 4-H Hall of Fame. In the 4-H program today, he is an active member of the Ogle County Fair board and assists at the Ogle County Fair. He enjoys being the Ogle County Livestock Judging Coach. He also assists with numerous presentations in promoting the 4-H program and annually creates a workshop during Day of Dabbling for many 4-H members across Ogle County. He has brought forth many achievements for the 4-H program. He enjoys watching his grandchildren pursue their agriculture careers through showing swine and becoming proud 4-H members. 4-H is an informal youth education program conducted

Manager at University of Wisconsin - Madison Arboretum, will talk about the importance of planting native plants for pollinators. Pollinators, truly, are forgotten providers. They are essential to life as we know it. They include some bats, birds, especially hummingbirds, and other animals, mostly insects, beetles, butterflies, moths,
flies, and especially bees. Unfortunately, many urban and agricultural practices today have been severely detrimental to pollinators. Urban sprawl, removing or spraying roadside vegetation, and manicured lawns with no weedy or brushy areas, have taken away much nesting and feeding opportunities. Fifield -Murray will show homeowners how they,

Annual antique show set for Oregon March 29-30 Woman’s Club has hosted the event for 64 years By Ron Bry Event Manager The Oregon Woman’s Club is proud to announce their 64th annual antique show, Saturday and Sunday, March 29-30. Many changes have taken place during the past sixtyplus years developing one of the premier antique shows in
northern Illinois. This year is no exception, with the addition of new dealers (five states represented), it is shaping up to be another great event. The Oregon Woman’s Club, a member of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, sponsors this show as a major fund raising event and uses the proceeds to help fund various community projects and charities. As in past years, the show will be held at the Blackhawk Center sports arena, located
on the Oregon public school campus. The facility offers ample parking, handicapped accessibility and a huge area for 52 Midwest antique dealers to display their merchandise for sale. Quality antiques from the early 1800s through the retro era of the 1950s includes all areas of collecting - furniture, glass, china, pottery, toys, primitives, textiles, jewelry, dolls, silver, decorator items and more. You will be amazed at the selection available.
There will be items for all collecting tastes and budgets, for both the new and advanced collector. We like to think of it as ‘comfort food for the eyes.’ The food concession will be provided by the Chana United Methodist Ladies. The menu will include homemade chicken and noodles, sloppy Joes and various other sandwiches, chips, beverages, and a selection of desserts. Mary Lou’s Crystal Repair from Joliet, will be on hand both days to repair your damaged

Watch for signs. For additional information on area lodging and attractions visit www. discoveroregonillinois.com.
When we read with our children and grandchildren we can encourage their questions during reading. After reading discussion of what is read helps us sort through what we read. We can discuss if we like the book or not, and why. We can retell the story or give facts that we learned from the reading. Follow-up discussions about what our children and grandchildren read are important in helping them become actively involved in
whatever they read. Whether we are reading aloud to our young readers, listening to them read to us, or just talking about something they are reading at school, we can support the idea of active comprehension. We want them to understand that they cannot just say words. In order to really read, and to understand well, the reader must be actively involved with the text before, during, and after reading .
$75 million tourism impact in Ogle county, would in the long run, create dozens of property tax paying buildings, job creation numbers on the order of another Etnyres or Woods, and bring a multitude of sales tax paying customers to Ogle County, much like Dixon’s Riverfront which has transformed that entire community. Needless to say, tourism and image-conscious businesses are not going to build as neighbors to a morgue and a jail. Citizens that are disturbed by this less-than-transparent process should make their feelings known to all 24 Ogle County Board members. They are listed on www. oglecounty.org or available in print at the Ogle County Clerk’s office in the old courthouse. Also, letters from a number of concerned organizations, a county campus timeline from 1990-2014, and a copy of the
Ogle County Amendatory Comprehensive Plan are also available for review at the County Clerk’s Office. Copies of the City of Oregon Comprehensive Plan are available for review at the Oregon City Hall, 115 N. 3rd St. In addition to calls, letters, and emails, concerned citizens should plan to attend the Wednesday, March 19 Ogle County Board Meeting, 5:30 p.m., third floor old courthouse, 105 S. Fifth St., Oregon, to be see how the board responds to your expectations. Protocol calls for a quiet, sign free, audience. To make your concern apparent - wear red - a coat, hat, scarf, shirt or blouse. A sea of red in the audience will quietly and politely send your message loud and clear. Ron Colson Mt.

Reading Matters
Reading is thinking By Mary Gardner Reading Specialist In the reading room at school we repeated this chant often: Reading is thinking and who does the thinking? I do! We used this as a way to teach our students that there is work to do when we read. Good readers think about
what they are reading in many ways. For this month let’s think about ways we can support our children and grandchildren as they work to understand their role as readers. Active comprehension is a key to deeper understanding of what is read. We used our chant to help students understand that it was up to them to do some work in order to better understand what they read. We talked about several ways to be
engaged with text. Before reading we can encourage our children and grandchildren to gather information from the text that they will read by looking at the title, the author, any pictures or photos, and any other details the reading might provide. It is also beneficial to think of what you already know about the topic or book. Activating our background knowledge helps us get ready to think about the
information we might read. Asking ourselves questions during reading helps keep us actively engaged as well. We should ask questions to be sure we understand what we read. We might ask ourselves questions that help us clarify something that does not quite make sense. We might also ask questions that begin with I wonder such as I wonder why the dog is running away, or, I wonder how clouds fill up with water.
Public Voice Winter has been great this year Dear Editor, What a great winter. As a telemark skier, I have had a wonderful time wearing out the death defying 20-foot vertical at Park West, a solid double green circle. I know that the snowmobilers have been happy too. And just think of all the extra money the state, county, township, and city plow operators have made with all their overtime while they did a great job of keeping our roads open.
They have to be really happy despite the fact that they’ve only had a couple of weekends off since December. I know a few people have complained about the depth of the snow, the frigid temperatures, and the duration, but I knew most of us had come to grips with the cold in the grocery store last Sunday. It was five degrees out, but almost half the people shopping in the store were just wearing sweatshirts. We are tougher than we think. Randy Holland Oregon
Citizens should be familiar with county issues Dear Editor: There is a critical issue in Ogle County government that is flying under the radar of public knowledge. If that isn’t corrected within a matter of days, $873,680 in previously valid property investment for a citizenconvenient county government campus adjacent to the new Judicial Center will be “parked� for the next 50 years - or longer.

There is a current attempt to place a county sheriff’s administration and coroner’s morgue building, and later a jail, in the middle of the City of Oregon’s planned Riverfront Tourism District on First Street. The reason for the irresponsible push on that site is yet to be disclosed (Why the secrecy?). The First Street location is contrary to the county’s $63,180 Architect’s Space Needs Study and would also leave the judicial center complex high and dry. At the same time it would put a disconnected, taxexempt government facility in the middle of a planned tourism area effectively slamming the brakes on that economic development effort, created by a nearly $60,000 Comprehensive Plan professionally prepared for the city with your taxpayer dollars.

Oregon Republican Reporter, Mt. Morris Times, Thursday, March 13, 2014, Page A9
Oregon offers Spring Fling shopping Special event is March 14-15 starting at 9 am An idea by an employee at an Oregon store has blossomed into the First Annual Merlin’s Spring Fling, slated for this Friday and Saturday in Oregon. After hearing from numerous local merchants all suffering from the same winter blahs—no business and no foot traffic— Brenda Schmauch, an employee at Merlin’s Greenhouse and Flowers, came up with an idea. Schmauch decided the town needed a “Spring Fling�, but rather than having just another sale at one store, Merlin’s asked the local merchants in town if they would like to be involved.
“Oregon is a small quaint town, filled with unique businesses and services. Winter has been hard on all of us, some are just holding on,� said Merlin Hagemann, owner of the Merlin’s Greenhouse and Flowers. “Brenda’s idea was to do something special and fun.� Lynn Knodle, an ambassador for the Oregon Chamber of Commerce and Executive Director of Serenity Hospice and Home, addressed her concerns to the Chamber on behalf of Angel Treasure’s Shop. Angel Treasure’s Shop is a not for profit store that benefits Serenity Hospice and Home. Knodle said donations are down and foot traffic is low. At the same time this concern was being made to the Chamber, Hagemann, who is also on the Chamber
board, and his staff were running with Schmauch’s idea to include and ignite the local merchants. “Between the Chamber members and phone calls made to other area businesses, it became apparent that everyone in town is feeling the effects this winter!,� said Hagemann. “In a day and a half, more than 20 area businesses jumped on board to help each other out. Another example of small town USA coming together to help each other!� Hagemann said these merchants have volunteered their time, products and services to be donated to drawings and giveaways at the First Annual “Spring Fling�, March 14-15.

Oregon AD talks about the district’s athletic goals This week, the athletic directors from the three schools in our coverage were interviewed. Included in the articles are their thoughts on sports at their schools and other pertinent issues. We start this series with Oregon High School Athletic Director Mike Lawton 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 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
Cardinals’ coach resigns By Andy Colbert Reporter In a surprise announcement, Jonathan Schneiderman has decided to resign as Forreston basketball coach. This isn’t just any resignation, as Schneiderman has to be considered a favorite son of Cardinal basketball, having starred for the program and returning a few years later as its coach. “Generally speaking, it was time for a change,” Schneiderman said. “I’m getting a masters degree in educational leadership and will pursue administration at the high school level.” The nine-year Forreston mentor has not ruled out coaching in the future, though. “My coaching days are not over. I’m just not sure what level,” Schneiderman said. After playing basketball at University of Illinois-Chicago, Schneiderman played overseas in France and England and then went to Stevenson High School
as an assistant basketball coach. When the Forreston head job opened in 2005, Schneiderman was encouraged to apply for it. It was almost a slam dunk that he would he hired for it. “There are 12 reasons to stay in the city and suburbs and two reasons to come home,” Schneiderman said. “Those two reasons, family and small town life, trumped the12.” While at Forreston, Schneiderman compiled a 178-85 record and won five out the first six conference titles. The Cardinals won four regionals and two sectionals. “Not any season sticks out. What stands out most were the players and coaches and the relationships you build,” Schneiderman said. In his fourth year at Forreston, Schneiderman was tempted to return to UIC, as the Director of Basketball Operations position became open. “I was enjoying teaching and coaching at Forreston too much,” Schneiderman said.
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. Genoa-Kingston, 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 homefield 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.” (Upcoming editions will include stories with comments from athletic directors in Polo and Forreston)

With five starting juniors, Schneiderman has left the program with a good nucleus for next year. “There’s a good future with eight seniors coming back,” Schneiderman said. “Youth basketball is also solid and we have a promising freshmen group coming in.”
Nine Oregon High School athletes have received Big Northern Conference West all-conference accolades. Samantha Lambrigtsen, a senior, and Emy Wright, a junior, were named to the first team for girls basketball. Lambrigtsen was a unanimous selection. Honorable mentions were Kailyn Strawvbridge, Rockford Lutheran; Keelyn Swanson, Byron; and Caley Niday, Winnebago. Six Hawk wrestlers received all-conference
honors. Dominic Marchetti, a junior, and Tyler Blume, a senior, were unanimous selections. Also named to the allconference team were: Corey Grady, a junior; Garrett Rude, a junior; and Travis Burke, a senior. Michael Stevens, a senior, was honorable mention. Oregon had one player, Jessie McKinley, a senior, receive an honorable mention on the boys all-conference team.
David L. Rahn eighth graders finish regular season with wins The eighth grade girls’ basketball team of David L.

Brawl after regional game indicates need for changes By Andy Colbert Reporter News item: A full-scale melee breaks our between Rockford East and Jefferson immediately after a regional basketball game at Belvidere North High School, as both teams went through the timehonored tradition of shaking hands. As expected, the IHSA administered punishments, including suspending Jefferson coach Todd Brannan and a five of his players from participating in the 4A regional final against Huntley, a 77-29 loss. East hasn’t got word yet on their fate, but it will be forthcoming and probably
game early, using tough defense and effective offense. The Eagles led at the break, 17-10. DLR poured it on in the third quarter, outscoring the Vikings, 10-0. In the end, the Eagles were victorious, 33-14. Addison Kitzmiller had a good offensive night for DLR, scoring 12 points.
Lani Morris and Meredith Gelander each had six. Aleah Wight and Bailey Montavon both added four and Kyla Suter sank a free throw. The following night, the Eagles traveled to Meridian for their final conference contest of the season. The Cardinals came ready to play as their stifling
defense threw the Eagle’s offense off. A 10-point second quarter for the Eagles proved to be the difference in the game’s outcome. The Eagles held a 12-6 halftime advantage. The Cardinals outscored DLR, 10-6, but the Eagles squeaked out the 18-16 win. Gelander paced the Eagles
with eight points while Montavon added six. Jessica Hunt had four. On March 6 the Eagles returned home for their final regular season contest against Pecatonica. DLR came out of the gate quickly, holding a 13-2 lead after the first quarter. The Indians battled back but
trailed at the break, 19-11. The Eagles cruised in the second half to a 36-21 win. Gelander led the balanced Eagle scoring with 12 points. Montavon and Gylian Finch each had five. Hunt and Kitzmiller both poured in four while Morris had three. Wight had a bucket and Sarah Palmer sank a free throw.
maintained a curfew, items lost on many of the youth of Rockford. Danforth felt God put him in VanFleet’s life for a reason. The end result of Danforth being mentor, spiritual leader and 24/7 step dad to VanFleet bore more fruits than success on the basketball court. By being accountable to a parent, VanFleet developed character and something like fighting after a ballgame would not be an option. The problems at the EastJefferson game were not a result of lack of security, or the closeness of the game, or the fact the both schools are from the Rockford public schools system. The problem is never external; instead, it emanates within us in how we react to a particular situation. All those people fighting with one another are spiritually sick. We can put police officers in place, change the rules of game, impose threats and
penalties and even eliminate handshaking, as some have suggested, in an attempt to avoid situations like what happened at the Belvidere North. However, changing the external circumstances is nothing more than a sellout by authorities and does not address the real problem, which is a spiritual bankruptcy in our society. The change needs to come inside of us, in our hearts, not on the outside. From reading what Fred VanFleet had to say about his journey in life, he needed a change of heart or his human instincts would have led him down the wrong road. We can indict the brawlers from Jefferson and East all we want, but I’d rather offer them a chance to change their heart.
Sports Column very stringent. Afterwards, much dialogue ensued about what went wrong and who was to blame. Brannan blamed East players for instigating the fight and said his players were forced to go into selfdefense mode, even though video showed at least one of the Jefferson players going after an East player. Belvidere North even was blamed for not having any police presence. For the Huntley-Jefferson contest, the school put four police officers on duty. That’s nothing more than a knee-jerk response to public pressure and a waste of resources. Something is terribly wrong with our society if police are needed to provide assistance during a handshaking ceremony between high school students. Shouldn’t this responsibility rest upon the coaches and administrators from the respective schools,
instead of the police? As a coach, if you don’t have control of your players, that is an indictment of a lack of discipline on your program. Or, perhaps it could be a sign of malcontents allowed on your team because of their value as a talented athlete instead of a good citizen. Reports also indicated that fans ran onto the court and got involved. Looking at the video, it was hard to make out everything, but it sure was a mess. Let’s contrast this with a story that came out earlier in the week about another product of the Rockford public school system, Fred VanFleet of Auburn. VanFleet has rocketed to stardom as the point guard for the undefeated Wichita St. Shockers. In an article that appeared in “bleacherreport.com”, VanFleet explains how an important influence in his life prevented him from going in

the wrong direction. A Rockford cop named Joe Danforth came into VanFleet’s life at an early age. As a stepfather, Danforth made it clear from the beginning that VanFleet was not going to sit around and be a bum, nor run with the wrong crowd. He instilled discipline, an ethic of hard work and
But, the more important question is this – do they themselves believe they need a change on the inside?

DLR students performed well at annual contests More than 85 students represented the Oregon School District Feb. 8 at the Rt. 72 Solo and Ensemble Contest in Polo. These students were made up of sixth grade band students and seventh and eighth grade band and choir students. The Oregon Elementary sixth grade band totals in 30 events were 19 first ratings and 11 second ratings. Four perfect score performances were earned by Ryker Finch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; tenor sax solo, Cynthia Nyderek â&#x20AC;&#x201C; clarinet solo, Megan Gracyalny
(flute) and Jacob Christensen (bass clarinet) duet, and Sam Minnis-Flores (alto sax) and Keshon Reed (snare drum) duet. The David L. Rahn seventh and eighth grade totals in 80 events included 50 first ratings, 29 second ratings, and one third rating. Six perfect score performances came from Kyle Cermak â&#x20AC;&#x201C; clarinet solo, Lucas Lauer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; tuba solo, Sydne Robinson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; vocal solo, Tessa Burger â&#x20AC;&#x201C; vocal solo, Alyssa Theisen (bells) and Gylian Finch (flute) duet, and Megan Garrett (trumpet)

The concert will be held on Thursday, March 20 at 7 p.m. at the Blackhawk Center and will feature every band student and band in the school district.
Outage planned in Byron More than 2,000 workers are supporting Byron Generating Stationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scheduled refueling outage that began this week. Approximately 1,200 additional workers will join the 850 permanent Byron Station employees, providing a temporary boost to the local economy. Most local motels, restaurants and shops from Rockford to Rochelle see an increase in customers during Byron Station outages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This historic winter has been tough on area businesses so the extra foot traffic will be a welcome sight,â&#x20AC;? said Debbie Dickson, executive director of the Oregon Area Chamber of Commerce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the temporary workers stay in
the area they spend money on gas, food, lodging and other goods. It will be an influx of commerce for our area and hopefully start a push for a busy spring season for our merchants.â&#x20AC;? Workers at Byron Station will refuel the Unit 1 reactor, perform more than 10,000 inspections and maintenance activities, and do other work that cannot be done while the unit is operating. All of the activities are designed to assure the unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consistent operation when online. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our units performed well during this tough winter, providing power to residents for heat and other necessities,â&#x20AC;? said Byron Station Site Vice President Russ Kearney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We
will safely and efficiently perform outage work that will ensure Unit 1 will operate for another 18 months and keep power flowing to the region for whatever Mother Nature has in store.â&#x20AC;? While the unit is down, residents should be aware that one of the cooling towers will not produce any water vapor cloud. This is normal when a unit is taken offline. Byronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Unit 2 will continue to supply electricity to Exelon customers during the Unit 1 outage. With both units at full power, the site produces almost 2,500 megawatts, enough electricity for 2.3 million homes. Byron Generating Station is south of Byron on North German Church Road.

Science Siesta is April 11-12 Girls in fourth through sixth grade are invited to attend one of two Science Siesta events planned for the spring of 2014. The first Science Siesta will be Friday, April 11 and Saturday, April 12. The second Science Siesta will be Friday, April 25 and Saturday, April 26. Both of these events will be held at the Discovery Center and Burpee Natural History Museums in Rockford. These events are sponsored by University of Illinois Extension, and will combine the fun of a pajama party with hands-on science
experiences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our thirteenth year of conducting Science Siesta, and we are thrilled to be able to offer two of these events this year,â&#x20AC;? said Johnna Jennings, Extension Educator for 4-H Youth Development. Science Siesta is based on the curriculum Wonderwise, developed by the University of Nebraska. Girls may choose from two workshop tracks for breakout sessions. The first track will feature an urban ecologist. The second track will be a vet detective. Both of the events will begin at 5 p.m. on Friday with
registration and conclude at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday. The registration fee is $40. This fee covers pizza, snacks, breakfast, admission to the Discovery Center Museum and Burpee Museum of Natural History, and many fun activities. For additional information, or to register, go to the University of Illinois Extension website for Boone, DeKalb and Ogle Counties at http://web.extension.illinois. edu/bdo or they can call: 815758-8194. Registration is limited to the first 160 girls for each event.
Bald eagles reported in record numbers this year A record-setting number of American bald eagles was reported during the annual Illinois Midwinter Bald Eagle Survey coordinated by the Illinois Audubon Society. Volunteers tallied 5,975 birds between the dates of Jan. 1 and Jan. 15. Extremely cold temperatures in northern parts
of Minnesota and Wisconsin caused a surge in the numbers of over-wintering birds along the Illinois waterways. Survey routes are located on the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers with additional routes on the Ohio and Wabash Rivers, Crab Orchard Lake, Horseshoe Lake Conservation Area, and Carlyle Lake.
According to Tom Clay, the Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Executive Director, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our 2014 survey surpassed 2013 (2,325 total) and topped the highest recorded count (since 1992) of 4,292 reported in 2008.â&#x20AC;? The largest populations of the eagles spotted were counted along the Mississippi River (93.6 percent of the
overall total), followed by 4.4 percent observed on the Illinois River and 2 percent sighted on the remaining routes. The number of adults versus immature eagles reported on these surveys, an important indicator of recovery and survival, remains at 60 percent and 40 percent, respectively.
Nationally, this effort is administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The goal of the survey is to maintain the long-term, national coordination of the surveys collected, analysis of that data, and reporting of the results. Locally, survey data
collected provides information on eagle trends, distribution and habitat and helps create public interest in bald eagles and their conservation. Information regarding the 2014 survey and previous yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; data can be obtained by calling the Illinois Audubon Society at 217-544-2473.
New legislation may change renewal sticker rules Legislation proposed by Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White to allow a printed receipt from the Secretary of State to serve temporarily as the vehicle renewal sticker was approved by the State Senate. Senate Bill 2802 would allow motorists to drive without an up-to-date vehicle
renewal sticker affixed to their license plate provided they have a receipt from the Secretary of State that proves they purchased a sticker online before expiration, but have not yet received the registration sticker. The receipt is valid for no more than 30 days from the expiration of the previous
registrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stickerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s date. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is another consumer friendly initiative that encourages online transactions with my office,â&#x20AC;? said White. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Driver Services facilities have many customers come in to buy their stickers a day or two before they are set to expire.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;This bill will allow such customers to make the same purchase online, and then use the receipt as proof of up-to-date registration compliance.â&#x20AC;? Last year, more than 150,000 customers purchased vehicle renewal registration stickers during the last two days in May.
The vast majority of customers visited a facility to conduct these transactions; just over 6,300 people purchased their renewal stickers online. Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office has continually worked to provide more services online to further improve customer convenience. Over the last six
years, internet transactions have increased by more than 200 percent in the Secretary of Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. Senate Bill 2802, which was sponsored by state Sen. Patricia Van Pelt (D-Chicago), now goes to the House of Representatives for consideration.
a drop in net income.â&#x20AC;? Also reported in 2013 was an $8.6 million patronage pay out to eligible stockholders. The eighth year of the program marks a total of $47 million in patronage returned to client owners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At some point in the not too distant future, the up-cycle
we have enjoyed will change and we will have to weather a down-cycle,â&#x20AC;? Ash said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The farmers and Ag-businesses in central and northern Illinois are in good position for whatever the future holds.â&#x20AC;? The full annual report can be viewed online at www.1stfarmcredit.com.
Business Brief Credit service marks another solid year
2013 marked another year of strong net farm income for our clients and continued strong results for 1st Farm Credit Services, as noted in
the 2013 Annual Report. The Normal-based cooperative reports reaching net earnings of more than $89 million, capital exceeding $832 million and more than 9 percent growth on average daily balance of loans, leases and investments owned and managed.
The Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial results were recently released in the 2013 Annual Report. 1st Farm Credit Services works with Illinois farmers and agribusinesses in the northern 42 counties of the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Increasing levels of volatility are here to stay for agriculture,â&#x20AC;? said Gary
J. Ash, President/CEO of 1st Farm Credit Services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fortunately, we continue to see most operations manage this volatility extremely well. Farmers have focused on strengthening balance sheets, liquidity positions and keeping overall debt at levels that can be serviced, even with
