Trail Days official asks for return of “Starry Night� tipi that was taken April 26-27 a different artist or group of artists. After discovering the tipi was missing, Henderson checked with the staff at McDonald’s and Shell, thinking someone might have moved it inside to protect from the rain overnight. However, no one had moved the tipi or even seen what happened to it. This is the last time the colorful tipis will be placed around the community. “They won’t be going up again around town,� Henderson said. “It’s been five years — they’re wearing out.� The tipis will still be displayed at the festival, which is held at Lowden State Park. Henderson said she plans to file a report with the Oregon Police Department, but mainly she just wants to tipi back. “Just return it, no questions asked,� she said.

Beth Henderson and her crew of tipi builders got an unpleasant surprise Monday morning when they started their annual task. The tipi set to go up at McDonald’s in Oregon had been stolen. Henderson said she distributed the tipi canvases Sunday evening at the various locations where the Native American shelters are erected each year to advertise the Oregon Trail Days festival. “We went there to take the poles this morning and it was gone,� she said Monday. The tipi, a rendition of Claude Monet’s “Starry Night� done by local artists, is situated each year in the northwest corner of the McDonald’s parking lot next to the Shell station. It’s one of a couple dozen put up each spring to let the public know about the upcoming festival held the third weekend in July.

Consequences of underage drinking? Officials met to discuss issue By Vinde Wells Editor Officials at a meeting on underage drinking last week stressed the importance of making youths aware of both the dangers and consequences

of drinking alcohol. Joanie Padilla, Director of Health Education and Emergency Preparedness at the Ogle County Health Department, told the audience of approximately 30 people that studies have shown that some youngsters begin drinking as early as the sixth grade. “The younger they start,

the more chance there is for problems,� she said. Mandy Wood, a counselor at Sinnissippi Centers, Inc., said parents and other adults should begin talking to youngsters as early as possible about the dangers drinking alcohol can bring. “Talk to your kids honestly about alcohol,� Wood said. “When an incident occurs,

off. “They started biting at my elbows and I knew I was in trouble,� Ebert said. “Then they got more vicious and they were growling. They got me down, and they had me by the neck. I protected my face. Larry saw them drag me at least 15 feet. I can’t believe the grip they had. There was nothing I could do. And then

talk about what happened and how to make better choices. Make sure they have consequences.� Padilla and Wood were two of the presenters who spoke at a meeting organized by Project LEAD of Ogle County April 24 at Nash Recreation Center to discuss the increasing problem of underage drinking. Project LEAD (Leaders Encouraging Abstinence from Drugs) of Ogle County is a recently formed partnership between Lutheran Social Service of Illinois (LSSI) and Ogle County schools, businesses, parents, social service agencies and government services. The community coalition is working to reduce substance abuse among Ogle County youth. Padilla cited statistics that show 71 percent of high school students nationwide report drinking alcohol, and

A Rochelle woman told the Ogle County Board recently that the sheriff has too many duties. Diane McNeilly said the Ogle County League of Women Voters recently did a study of several Illinois county sheriffs and discovered that the Ogle County Sheriff is responsible for more departments, employees, and money than his counterparts. “It doesn’t allow him enough time to do statemandated duties,� she told the county board April 15. Besides overseeing the Sheriff’s and Corrections Departments, Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn is also in charge of the Ogle County Emergency Management Agency, the county’s Buildings & Grounds, Information Technology, telecommunications, and security for the courts as well as all county properties. In all, he oversees more than 80 county employees and a large share of the county’s budget. “The Ogle County Sheriff is responsible for more departments and funds than other counties surveyed. Checks and balances and supervision can be an issue in delivering services,� according to the report McNeilly presented to the board. McNeilly said the recommendation of the

League of Women Voters is that the county board remove Buildings & Grounds and Information Technology from the sheriff’s duties and instead appoint a department head for each. The recommendation calls for two new department heads who should “report through the regular county committee structure.� McNeilly said only seven of the 11 counties contacted responded to the organization’s request for information. Ogle County officials did not respond, she said, and officials in three other counties told her Harn had requested they not participate. McNeilly said the three other counties that did not respond were Boone, LaSalle, and Whiteside. The counties that participated were Carroll, DeKalb, Lee, Kendall, McHenry, Stephenson, and Winnebago. In none of the responding counties does the sheriff serve as computer services director, maintain the Information Technology System or maintain county buildings. Winnebago County was the only one where, like Ogle, the sheriff also serves as the Emergency Management Agency director and provides security for all the county’s buildings and grounds. Harn did not respond to a phone call from Ogle County Newspapers seeking his comments for this story.

Drowning is likely cause of Rochelle man’s death A Rochelle man whose body was found in the Kyte River in Hillcrest almost two months ago probably drowned. Ogle County Deputy Coroner Jeanette Bennett said Tuesday that autopsy results for Phillip M. Rainwater, 32, indicate drowning as the likely cause of death. However, officials were unable to determine why, she said. “The manner of death is undetermined,� Bennett said. In Illinois, five options are offered for the manner

Victim was shocked by the viciousness of dog attack From A1 Ebert said she was shocked by the viciousness of the attack. “The brutality is what bothers me,� she said. “It was so savage.� Initially, Champley had reported the attack came from the two put bulls, a male and a female. However, he said Tuesday that further investigation showed that the third dog, owned by the same person, also took part in the attack.

He said he did not know the breed of the smaller dog. All three dogs were impounded by Animal Control and have been euthanized with the consent of the owner, Champley said. Ebert said the dogs had never posed a problem for her before, although they have for some of her neighbors. “The dogs have been there a long time,� she said. Another neighbor had reported the dogs more than once for running at large, she

said. Champley said Tuesday that he is unaware of any previous complaints being made to Animal Control. A spokesman for Ogle County State’s Attorney Michael Rock said Tuesday morning that prosecutors are working with law enforcement officers to determine if charges will be filed against the dogs’ owner. The Ogle County Sheriff’s Department investigated at the scene.

of death — accidental, natural, suicide, homicide, or undetermined. She said Rainwater’s body had been in the water too long for toxicology tests to accurately determine if alcohol or drugs were a factor in his death. The autopsy also did not determine exactly how long Rainwater had been in the river. “We know it was quite a while,� Bennett said. A jogger spotted Rainwater’s body in the stream in Flannigan Park, just

north of Rochelle, around 7 p.m. on March 10. Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn said March 13 that no signs of foul play were observed. Rainwater had not been reported missing. Harn said that during the course of the investigation deputies learned that Rainwater’s family members believed he had moved to southern Illinois sometime around Jan. 1. The Illinois State Police Crime Services assisted with the investigation.

Underage drinking was topic From A1 21 percent said they started before age 13. She said drinking can cause significant brain injury to teenagers and younger youth as well as physical problems because their bodies and internal organs are not fully developed. Alcohol is also a factor in a significant percentage of fatal vehicle crashes, especially those involving teenagers, Padilla said. “We’re talking about the very lives of our youth,� she said. “I was formerly a health care worker. I x-rayed a lot of dead kids.� “Kids need to know that when they drink alcohol they’re pouring a chemical into their bodies that is a toxin,� said Kris Noble, a counselor from LSSI. Parents play a key role in preventing alcohol use among children, Wood said. “Parents can be extremely effective in preventing teen drinking,� she said. She said parents should find out where their children are going, who they will be with, and whether or not alcohol will be available. “Kids really do like boundaries,� Wood said. “It’s

okay for your kids to hate you sometimes — it probably means you’re being a good parent.� Russ Senti, executive director of Lutheran Outdoor Ministries Center, said many times parents are providing the alcohol and the setting for their own children and their children’s friends. “Get to know the kids your kids are hanging with and get to know their parents,� he said. Padilla agreed. “Don’t be afraid to confront your children. Don’t be afraid to get medical professionals involved.� Assistant Ogle County State’s Attorney Ann Switzer outlined the legal penalties for underage drinking and for adults who provide alcohol for minors. She said any alcoholrelated conviction can affect driving privileges, even if the offense did not occur while driving. “If you are under 18 and you do have a driver’s license you will lose it. If you don’t yet have a driver’s license it will be delayed.� Switzer said parents and teens are often surprised by the consequences.

“I’m not real sympathetic. The choices have already been made,� she said. Noble said legal problems are not the only consequences. Some teens with underage drinking convictions may be unable to get into the college or university of their choice, they will not be accepted into National Honor Society, and may be denied other academic honors. Jeff Schlesinger, pastor of Freedom Lutheran Worshipping Community, Oregon, asked what reasons teens give for drinking. Wood said she hears from teens that everyone else is doing it, it tastes good, and it helps teens escape from reality. Noble said the reasons she hears are curiosity and the desire to be socially acceptable and like others. She said she is concerned because teens and even younger children are drinking far more and far oftener today than in the past.

County morgue is on the move From A1 Oregon, where the current sheriff’s office is situated. The $4.1 million administration building will house the sheriff’s office, coroner’s office and morgue, and telecommunications

center. Plans call for it to be completed in 2015. The current sheriff’s office will be demolished after the new building is finished. Space where it sits will be used for parking. Some of the equipment

moved from the morgue will be moved to Finch Funeral Home, Mt. Morris, owned by Finch and his family, which will serve as the county’s temporary morgue during construction. The rest of the equipment will be stored.

Firemen, water works praised after fire of 1893 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 This is from the Ogle County Reporter, Wednesday, Sept. 13, 1893. Remember this is before Ogle County had cars. The best way to go to Polo, Forreston, and Rochelle was This old fire hose cart is located at the Mt. Morris Fire by rail. Station. Photo by Otto Dick

Fire! Fire! Fire! Oregon saved by her magnificent Water Works and her Brave Firemen. It was a grand, a noble fight between fire and water. The fire king did his worst, but the Oregon water sprite captured him. “Today we look upon a waste to the west of “The Reporter” office, just across the street — it is the opening created by the most furious (though not so expensive) fire that has occurred in this part of Illinois. “But there are many happy people in Oregon today, for had it not been for our brave boys the town today would have been a smoldering ruin. Everything dried and seared, all as a tinder, and the least spark is apt to create a mighty conflagration. “At about 1:15 p.m. Monday, John Phelps called the attention of the writer to a sudden light in the north window of John P. Wilson’s agricultural implement depot, where a quantity of machine oil had been stored. “We immediately turned in a fire-alarm which was responded to promptly. S.H. Roat and W.S. Myers pulling the first hose cart out, while John Phelps went across the street to break the door of

the agricultural storage, and from which implements and carriages were rescued. “The fire department came promptly and soon every available stream of water was at play, aided by the both the force from the reservoir and the city engine combined. “Col.” Thomas Jakeman running to the engine house and giving the pump its fullest capacity. “Wonderful as it may seem, the fire though in a nest of frame buildings, with two livery stables, a saloon and a blacksmith shop on the opposite side of the block, fronting Fourth Street, and F.R. Artz barn backing up to within twenty and thirty feet of the flames, yet none of those buildings burned. “On Third Street, a one story frame occupied by John Peterson Wilson, agricultural implements, etc., and a large two story building of Mrs. Luther Stroh, used for storage were destroyed. “Squire William Artz house was fired, and gutted but so well watered, that it was saved, though on the south of all the mass of tinder. “The boys cut holes in the roof of the brick part and tore the tin roof from the frame annex, but saved the whole thing except the windows on the north. “The heat was so intense at the start that ‘The Reporter’ windows cracked and the front of the hose room and John Johnston’s building were smoking and blistered,

but Pike Dernier and J.W. Johnston with “The Reporter” hose and buckets of water kept the structure well drenched with water, and through this precaution saved ‘The Reporter’ building. “Another alarm was given about three o’clock and it was found that Thomas Riley’s barn, the last building in town, and a half-mile southwest of the first fire, was burning. “The discovery was made too late to save anything, and a horse, harness, hay and feed belonging to Moses Bissell were burned with the building. “It is thought this fire was caught by a cinder from the conflagration down town. “Ivan Peronet, the artist, was one of the heroes who made his work tell. He is a born fireman, and can fight a fire as well as he can paint one. “Of the casualties. Peter Kelchner was hit over the eye with a pail thrown him. Eddie Kelley was knocked from the roof of Goings’ barn by a volley from a hose, which hit him in the posterior and a hose nozzle “snaked” around and hit Fred Roat side of the head. “The firemen fought the flames like heroes. They were aided and abetted by many willing hands. “Polo, Forreston, and Rochelle were all ready to assist us, some of them having their apparatus on the railroad cars when notified that they would not be needed.”

Recycle electronics on Saturday Free event will be in Oregon By Reita Nicholson Administrative Assistant Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department An electronic recycling event is coming up for residents to recycle their old or broken electronics in a safe and responsible way. The recycling event is scheduled for Saturday, May 3 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The entrance will be located at the Ogle County Farm Bureau parking lot, 421 W. Pines Rd., Oregon. This event is sponsored by the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department and the Lee County Office of Solid Waste Management. Materials collected at this event will be processed and recycled by Secure Recycling Services of

Dixon, Illinois. The recycling event will be accepting only residential electronic equipment such as answering machines, calculators, cameras, cell phones, CD Rom drives, computers, cables, cable receivers, copy machines, and credit card machines. Digital converter boxes, digital music players, CDs and DVDs, electric motors and wire, fax machines, floppy disk drives, keyboards, laptops, modems, monitors, mice (electronic), and microwave ovens will also be accepted. Other items that can be recycled are pagers, phone systems, printers, postage machines, power tools, projection TVs, projectors, rechargeable batteries (no alkaline), scanners, servers, shredders, software, and stereo equipment. The following items can also be taken: tablets, iPads,

tape drives, tape recorders, telephones, typewriters, TVs, VCR, DVD players, video/audio tapes, video cameras, video game players, and satellite receivers. Business and institutional electronics will not be accepted at this event, however they may call any of the sponsors for other recycling options. There will be a $10 fee for microwave ovens, but all other residential items listed above will be taken at no cost to the consumers. TVs with broken glass tubes will not be accepted. As of January 2012, Illinois residents and businesses are banned from disposing of computers and other electronics with their regular garbage collection service. Instead, these devices must be taken to a registered recycler. This law keeps toxins and reusable materials

out of local landfills while conserving natural resources and creating jobs in the recycling industry. Secure Recycling Services is a registered processor of electronic waste in Illinois. They refurbish or recycle the materials in a secure and environmentally responsible manner. Secure Recycling Services recently acquired independent R2 Certification (Responsible Recycling) to verify their recycling procedures. The use of the site for this event will be provided by the Richter Family Trust.

Learn how to control ash borer on May 15 University of Illinois Extension, in cooperation with the City of Oregon, will be holding an emerald ash borer (EAB) Management Workshop’ on Thursday, May 15 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Ogle County Extension Office on 421 W. Pines Rd., Oregon. The program is free and open to the public. The Illinois Department of Ag confirmed last week that Oregon is the latest city to fall victim to the EAB, a destructive pest responsible for killing millions of ash trees in North America. EAB also was recently found in Jo Daviess, Rock Island, and Whiteside Counties. Residents with an ash tree in the yard should be aware of the emerald ash borer, according to Candice Miller, University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator. The Extension has many resources available to homeowners and will be holding an EAB public education program next month. The emerald ash borer is a small, metallic-green beetle native to Asia. Its larvae

Emerald ash borer

burrow into the bark of ash trees, causing the trees to starve and eventually die. Since the first detection of the pest near Detroit, Mich., in 2002, it has killed more than 25 million ash trees. The beetle often is difficult to detect, especially in newlyinfested trees. Signs of infestation include thinning and yellowing leaves, D-shaped holes in the bark of the trunk or branches and basal shoots. According to the Illinois Department of Agriculture, forty-one Illinois counties currently are under quarantine to prevent the artificial or “human-assisted� spread of the beetle through the movement of infested wood and nursery stock. At the May 15 program, University of Illinois Extension educators will discuss the insect’s biology, ash tree identification, management options for homeowners, tree

replacement suggestions, and quarantine restrictions. Mike Bowers, City of Oregon street superintendent, will also present on the city’s EAB management plans. Registration is requested by Wednesday, May 14 by calling 815-732-2191 or by registering at http://web. extension.illinois.edu/bdo/. Anyone who suspects an ash tree has been infested and has questions about EAB can contact their county Extension office. The Illinois Department of Ag also has a website devoted to EAB at: http:// www.agr.state.il.us/eab/. This website provides the most up to date EAB news and offers many informational factsheets and additional websites. The master gardeners at the local Extension office are also trained and ready to answer any questions that homeowners may have. Stay up to date on local EAB news and other horticulture related news and programs by liking our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ northwestillinoishorticulture.

Emily Wever, the Camp Director at Camp ShawWaw-Nas-See in Manteno, says it best: “4-H Camp is more than one week of fun. Sending your child to 4-H Camp will allow them to create memories that they will carry with them through adulthood. “4-H camp teaches youth to make good decisions, build their self-confidence, become independent, and gain the ability to work well with others. These are skills that will help our children develop into strong adult leaders. “In addition, 4-H camp alumni seem to understand the importance of volunteerism

and devote much of their personal time to ensure today’s campers have the same great experience they did as children.� Campers at 4-H Camp will check-in from 6 to 6:30 p.m. on June 9 and check-out from 6 to 6:30 p.m. on June 13.

Freshmen at Oregon High School were given the opportunity to give back to the community on April 23. Danyel Larsen, a teacher at Oregon High School, was involved in the organization of the service activities. “Community service is an important part of becoming a life-long learner. We enjoy putting together opportunities for this type of learning for our students,� she said. Freshmen students participated in a variety of service activities in the morning. They participated in a canned food drive in Oregon and Mt. Morris, painting at St. Mary’s, and helping out in elementary school classrooms. Freshmen also gave presentations to eighth graders to help answer their questions as they enter high school. They also helped at the Oregon library, Oregon Healthcare Center, Pinecrest, Rock River Center, and Village of Progress. The students were also given the opportunity to

complete various projects around school in the afternoon. Exelon made these projects possible by providing funds to supply the materials for each project, and providing volunteers to work alongside the kids. The afternoon projects included cleaning up the flower beds and spreading mulch at the high school. Students also planted bushes and spread mulch at the entrance of the elementary school, and at the two elementary school playgrounds. Exelon also provided box lunches from Subway for each student who participated in the service day. The school was also fortunate to have Oregon Park District, the Oregon Street Department, and staff members in the district donate tools, such as wheel barrels, rakes, shovels, and brooms for the students to use for the afternoon projects. OHS teacher Kim Radostits was also involved in the organization of the activities. “It isn’t very often that you see over a hundred kids engaged in meaningful

community service,� she said. “We live in a great community that is always willing to support us when we need it and we hope that all of the planning and time spent on this activity will spark the desire for our students to continue to reach out to the community and give back.� Radostits thanked everyone who was involved with the event. “We would like to sincerely thank all of the community members that helped out with our can drive. We were very pleased to have such a nice collection of items to take to the food pantry,� she said. The students were given an opportunity to reflect when they returned to the school the next day, and one student said, “I liked it because we got to help the community and have fun at the same time.� Many of the students said they would like to pursue further service opportunities, and some of the reasons given were, “It helps our community greatly; makes you feel like you are helping out and making a difference in someone’s life; and it is fun to help.�

Donations will help program Dear Editor, We need your help. After much of the staff read the best-selling book, “The End of Molasses Classes, 101 Extraordinary Solutions for Getting Our Kids Unstuck,� we decided to bring the excitement to Oregon Elementary School. Therefore, we are planning an exciting school-wide event to kick off the year on the first day of school next fall. We are making flags for each homeroom which we will use in a parade the first day and for other activities throughout the year. We have many ideas to catch the students’ interest and build camaraderie between students, parents, community, and school,

including inviting the parents to breakfast the first day of school. The staff is already hard at work to make this a success. Please consider making a donation to “The First Day Fund� which will benefit students in Pre-K through sixth grade. We are accepting donations through Wednesday, May 28. Please contact Ryan Huels at 815-732-2911 ext. 1620 or at rhuels@ocusd.net if you have any questions. Make checks payable to: Oregon Elementary School. Any leftover funds will be used for future student celebrations. Thanks for your support, Lyn Hunter on behalf of faculty, staff, and students of Oregon Elementary School

Tough competition coming to Hawk Classic OHS track meet is Friday night By Andy Colbert Reporter This week’s Art Carlson Hawk Classic boys track and field meet will be noteworthy for a couple of reasons. After decades of being run on a Saturday, the event moves to Friday night. Field

events will begin at 4 p.m. and running events at 5:45 p.m. at Landers-Loomis Field. “It will be exciting to see some of the races run under the lights,” Oregon coach Jim Spratt said. “Usually, the wind dies down by then too.” Among this year’s field of 22 teams are five of the top six finishers from last year’s 1A state meet. Joining defending state champ Sterling

Newman will be third-place Erie-Prophetstown, Oregon, Lena-Winslow and Rockford Lutheran “Year in and year out, I would have to say our meet is considered to the top 1A meet in northern Illinois,” Spratt said. A top contender for the team title will be 2A Winnebago. A new entrant is a school the Hawk football team is quiet familiar with,

Aurora Christian. “We open the meet up to anyone that wants to get in,” Spratt said. “If 3A schools started asking, we might even let them in to increase the competition.” The Hawks did compete against 3A schools Saturday at the Hononegah Relays, taking fifth, behind Hononegah, Janesville Parker, Belvidere North and Boylan.

The top performer for Oregon was Ashton Rutherford, who had the meet’s best time in the 300 hurdles at 41.88 and top pole vault at 13-feet-6. All events were scored as relays, with the Hawks taking second in the pole vault (Ian Starkey, Conner Hopkins, Rutherford) and thirds in the 3,200 relay (Alex Sitze, Adam Weller, Jordan Rogers, Austin Burkhart)

Softball team beats Harvard

Lady Hawks take invite By Andy Colbert Reporter As athletic director Mike Lawton presented the firstplace trophy to Oregon for winning its own track invitational, he turned to Carly Stephens and Kelci Foss and said, “If it wasn’t for the one point each of you scored for finishing sixth, Oregon doesn’t win the meet.” The Lady Hawks needed every point they could muster, as it came down the final events of the day— the 1,600-meter relay with Byron sitting at 93 points, Oregon 92 and Chicago DeLaSalle 89. Seeded No. 8 going into that event, a throwtogether team of MacKenzie Skoumal, Whitney Long, Kelsey Pudlas and Bry Horn each knocked several seconds off their personal bests and the Lady Hawks managed a 4:23 clocking, good for second place. DeLaSalle won the race at 4:13 but ended up losing the meet to Oregon 100-99. Byron, which took fourth in the 1,600 relay, was third with 97 points in the 15team event. “I’m so proud of all the girls, including Carly and Kelci for getting those two extra points we needed for the win,” Oregon Lynn Ahlgrim said. “In the 1,600 relay, we had a pole vaulter (Pudlas), someone new to track (Horn) and a shortdistance person (Long). MacKenzie Skoumal was the only regular.” While every single point counted, the biggest contributors to the overall total were hurdler Cydney Long and thrower Shannon Cullen. Both won two events each and Long added a second in the long jump,

and high hurdle shuttle (Devan DeHaan, Jerrick Orsted, Andrew Newman, Rutherford). In the weightman’s 400 relay, Marshall McMeeken, Troy Pudlas, Juan Ocampo and David LaBash managed to best the other teams for first place. “This meet didn’t show our full strength. We’re more of an individual than relay-type team,” Spratt said.

giving the team half of its 100 points. In the 110 low hurdles, Long ran 16.03, to win by over a second. Running the 300 hurdles this year for the first time in her career, the senior standout had a time of 51.08 for another win. “For her first year at the 300s, she’s been running great,” Ahlgrim said. Normally, a shot putter, Cullen is also branching out and spending more time on the discus. Her effort of 113feet-7 bested Carly Fischer of Genoa-Kingston by four feet. In the shot put, her best throw of 35-3 tied Allison Klosinski of Winnebago, but Cullen took first on a better second throw. Again, that was the difference between winning and losing the meet to DeLaSalle. “Shannon’s already comfortable in the shot and coach Engle really has her going in the discus,” Ahlgrim said. Two other double winners were quite noteworthy. Byron’s Kelsey Hildreth broke meet records in both the 1,600 (5:11) and 3,200 (10:37), winning the latter by over a minute and a half. Jaimie Robinson

of DeLaSalle, the granddaughter of former NBA player, Glenn “Big Dog” Robinson won the triple jump in a meet-record leap of 37-11 and went 17-4 in the long jump for first. “This was a great track meet,” Lawton said. DeLaSalle was a firsttime entrant and Ahlgrim mentioned she hadn’t heard of them before. “It’s always great to beat Byron, though,” she added. “But, you never know what to expect out of them until the sectional. We’ve learned that from past history.” Byron has won the last nine sectionals and will be favored again. Other Oregon place winners were the 400 relay of Erica Grace, Sarah Harris, Whitney Long and Pudlas, which took third. Grace, Horn, Skoumal and Cydney Long added another third in the 800 relay. Skoumal was fourth the in the 400. In the field events, Karissa Corbin backed up Cullen’s first with a fifth place in the shot put at 31-11. Whitney Long jumped 5-0 to place second in the high jump. Sarah Lauer also picked up big points by going 34-6 for second place in the triple

jump and 14-5 for fifth in the long jump. Pudlas cleared 7-6 in the pole vault for third. Kelsey Handschuh tied with three other girls for the fourth-best effort at 6-6 in the vault, but finished seventh on more misses. The non-placer that Ahlgrim was most proud of

was the 3,200 relay of Foss, Handschuh, Allyse Ketter and Haylie Rorbeck. That group took ninth with a time of 11:50. “They shaved 10-plus seconds off their PRs and if they keep that up, they’ll qualify for state,” Ahlgrim said.

Hawks fall to Lutheran and split with North Boone Sawyer Reynolds drove in a pair of runs for the Hawks in a 7-3 loss to Rockford Lutheran’s Crusaders on Monday.

Individually for the eighth graders, thrower Kailand Marks led the Eagles with first place finishes in both the shot put (25’5”) and the discus (64’1.5”). Sprinter Elyse Cothran won the 100M hurdles (19.36), was third in the long jump and fourth in the 100 meter dash.

Sports Column Alcohol, teens, peer pressure By Andy Colbert Reporter As I was entering the Blackhawk Center for a workout last week, I noticed an open public forum was about to commence on underage drinking. Hmm, should I check it or not? Certainly, underage drinking is occasionally mentioned in athletic suspensions and the like. Thus, I might as well educate myself a bit more on this subject as to be a more rounded high school sports reporter. I listened as various speakers from social service agencies offered insight on the matter. Parents and other audience members also

shared thoughts. And, there were representatives of lawenforcement present. It was informative and I applaud the people that made the effort to put together a “town hall� meeting like this. Underage drinking is often ignored, as parents may secretly hope their son or daughter stay away from it or at least not get caught doing it. The penalties from underage drinking are much more severe today than when I was a teenager, both from law enforcement and school athletic departments. Society is not as lax on the matter as it was decades ago. In recent years, controversy has surrounded school districts that have created and enforced policies on underage drinking, possession of alcohol and even being in the presence of alcohol in regard

to athletic eligibility. Instead of attempting to interpret the ramifications of that, I’ll share on something that really wasn’t mentioned much at the public forum. That’s alcohol itself. Students could receive all sorts of warnings — whether it is in the form of a staged car crash (commonly brought out at prom season), an educational video on the health dangers of alcohol consumption, the threat of being kicked off a team or maybe losing a scholarship opportunity, being disciplined at home, caught by the law, etc. Common sense would dictate that underage drinking is a no-win situation. However, what if the consumption of alcohol does something for a young person that enables them to deal with the pressures of being a

teenager? The taking of a few drinks can alleviate a feeling of low self-esteem and inability to fit in. Peer pressure, which indeed was mentioned during the forum, is not as pronounced while under the influence of alcohol. The fear of social situations gives way to a sense of ease and comfort provided by alcohol. The simple act of walking into a room full of people can make some teenagers feel like they are being both stared at and also ignored. Put some alcohol into them and that social awkwardness begins to melts away. In an intellectual sense, a teenager realizes that underage drinking is wrong, but the power of alcohol often takes precedence over that. Alcohol becomes the magic elixir that enables a

young person to deal with the pressures (whether real or perceived) of being a teenager. Thus, one’s emotional state can be the deciding consideration in whether or not to engage in underage drinking; and it does not matter the socioeconomic level, education or athletic ability of a person. If there is emptiness inside that needs to be filled or social anxiety that need to be alleviated, a teenager knows what to do to change the way he or she feels. And it may not be to seek out a teacher, counselor, coach, parent or a friend for help. Instead, it may be sought out in underage drinking, no matter what the risks or consequences. That’s the power of alcohol. Or to paraphrase the famous American philosopher

Andy Colbert

Homer Simpson, “It can be the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems�. There’s really some truth to that simple statement, especially the part about alcohol being “the solution� to getting through life.

It’s Prom time!

Stroke is the fourth leading CAUSE OF DEATH IN THE 5NITED States and the leading cause of disability. A stroke occurs when a clot blocks the blood supply to the brain or when the blood vessel in the brain bursts, which can result in permanent damage to the brain. When brain cells die, abilities controlled by that area of the brain are lost. Affected abilities can include memory, motor control, and

speech. Over two-thirds of stroke survivors will live with some type of disability as a result of the stroke. Strokes are a preventable DISEASE 5P TO FOUR FIFTHS of strokes can be prevented before they ever happen. Some risk factors cannot be controlled, like heredity, age or gender, but steps can be taken to reduce the risk. Some medical conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity can increase stroke risk. Avoid smoking and drink

alcohol in moderation. Eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly can also reduce the risk of suffering a stroke. Stroke is a treatable disease. If someone thinks a stroke is occurring, act F.A.S.T: common warning signs that affect the Face, Arms, or Speech, and take note of the Time symptoms began. Seeking emergency medical treatment immediately is extremely important, as the sooner treatment is begun, generally, the better the outcome. Stopping smoking, is

the single best method of reducing the risk of stroke. For assistance in quitting smoking see a doctor and call the Illinois Tobacco Quitline at 1-866-Quit-YES. For additional information consult the CDC website, www.cdc.gov/stroke/facts , or VISIT THE /GLE #OUNTY (EALTH Department website at www. oglecountyhealthdepartment. org to review the Stroke Risk Scorecard.

Facade grants will help Byron-area businesses Byron Community Revitalization, (BCR) Inc., is again offering facade restoration and improvement grants to Byron-area businesses. For six years, BCR’s Facade Improvement Grant Program has provided grants of up to $1,000 for building owners seeking to improve the exterior of their buildings. “The BCR Board is very pleased with the level of participation in the program,� BCR Executive Director Betsy Floski said. “Since businesses throughout the Byron area contribute to BCR’s annual fundraisers, the board feels this is a great way to give back to the business community.� The goal of the program is to aid in improving the “curb appeal� of businesses and, in the downtown area, to support the mission of uniformity as much as possible. Numerous businesses

have taken advantage of the Facade Improvement Grant Program. Projects that have included window replacement, awning repair or replacement, and facade renovation that included painting and repairs. More ambitious projects, those involving major structural improvements, could be completed with the help of other financing options. “Whether a business is considering routine outer maintenance or a major facade overhaul, we would strongly encourage them to take the time to apply for a grant,� Floski said. “In some cases, a BCR grant could cover the entire cost of a project.� Regardless of the scope of a proposed project, BCR Board members want to make the grant program as accessible as possible for applicants, therefore, professional

architectural drawings are not necessary. A simple letter or e-mail outlining the project and showing the estimated cost is all that is necessary to get started. Grants will be guaranteed in writing upon project approval and paid out upon project completion. Submission of receipts and invoices for paid labor and materials will be required. Byron Community Revitalization is a community-based notfor-profit organization established in 1999 to help the Byron area develop its full potential as a place to live, raise children and conduct business.

Mayfield announces resignation from Shaw Media Trevis Mayfield, publisher of Sauk Valley Media and vice president of Shaw Media, has resigned effective May 2, the company announced last week. Mayfield, 48, came to Sauk Valley in 2005 as publisher and became a corporate vice president in 2007. He has been responsible for multiple media operations for Shaw in Illinois and Iowa. In making the announcement, Shaw Media

President John Rung noted that business units under Mayfield’s supervision had performed well “during a turbulent time in the media industry.” “Trevis and his teams accomplished a great deal during his tenure, which spanned nearly a decade,” Rung said. “Trevis is a tremendous leader, and we will miss him. I have no doubt that he will enjoy continued success in his

future ventures.” Mayfield said he has wanted for years to start his own company, which “may well be in the media.” “The experience at Shaw Media has put me in a position to be excited about what is next,” he said. “This is the next natural step for me.” Mayfield was the editor and then publisher of the Star-Tribune in Terre Haute, Ind., before coming to Shaw

Media. The native Hoosier is originally from Sullivan, where his parents still farm, just south of Terre Haute. He has two sons. He said he wanted to take some time off to spend with family before jumping into his next venture. He and his wife, Nancy, live in Dixon. “It’s been a really good 10 years here,” Mayfield said. “Shaw Media provided me with a lot of opportunities to work with a lot of good

people. “With good teamwork, we managed through some really tough times. I’m proud of how we handled all that, and I’m proud of the things we’ve accomplished.” No announcement was made about a successor to Mayfield. Mayfield is also the publisher for The Forreston Journal, Mt. Morris Times, Oregon Republican Reporter, and Tri-County-Press.

Drinking and high school proms do not mix April is the beginning of prom season. This is a time when celebrations can turn dangerous for high school students. DUIs, speeding, not wearing a seat belt, and distracted driving make up the “Fatal Four.” The Illinois State Police will be out in force during the months of April and May conducting details aimed at curtailing underage drinking

and enforcing speeding, seat belt, and distracted driving violations. Statistics show that prom season, April and May, is the most dangerous time for teens. The Illinois State Police suggests that students take time to think about potential consequences involving driving and alcohol use. Commander Todd Rohlwing says one-third of

“Drinking and driving can be a deadly combination,” — Todd Rohlwing Illinois State Police the alcohol related traffic fatalities involving teens each year occur during those months. “Your choice to drink at prom can ruin your entire

night. Not only will you embarrass yourself, your date, and your family, but you can damage your reputation. “You risk being suspended

from school and getting arrested, both of which can affect your college aspirations or future employment. Worse yet, drinking and driving can be a deadly combination,” Rohlwing said. The Illinois State Police would also like to remind high school students of the following laws: It is mandatory for everyone in a vehicle to

wear a seat belt. Texting while driving is prohibited. All cell phone use, even hands-free, while driving is prohibited for drivers under the age of 19, except in the case of an emergency. To ensure a safe night, the Illinois State Police stresses that prom- bound students use their seat belts, pay attention behind the wheel, and never drink and drive.
