Fire board appoints Pecatonica man as chief By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The Oregon Fire Department is under new leadership. The fire protection district’s board accepted the resignation of Fire Chief Al
Greene at a special meeting on Sept. 30 and appointed Mike Knoup, Pecatonica, to take his place. Fire Board President Brian Stewart said Greene cited personal reasons in his letter of resignation. Stewart said Fire Capt. Bob Egyed stepped down at
the same meeting, also citing personal reasons. Greene has been fire chief since May 1, 2015 when he replaced Don Heller, who retired. Greene, who is employed as a deputy chief with the Lombard Fire Department, became involved with the
Oregon Fire Department in 1999, teaching Firefighter II classes. He became as a volunteer firefighter on the department in 2002. Egyed had served on the department for more than 20 years. Oregon firefighter and
paramedic Chad Bergstrom was appointed assistant chief on Sept. 30, and former assistant chief Randy Travis was appointed captain. Both Knoup and Bergstrom are employed by ATS Ambulance Service, Loves Park, a company hired by the Oregon Fire
Protection District to provide its ambulance service. Stewart said Knoup has 28 years experience as a firefighter and is a deputy fire chief on the Pecatonica Fire Department. As a paramedic in Oregon, Knoup is already familiar Turn to A2

Pastor honored Sunday By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecountynews.com A pastor was honored Sunday afternoon during a groundbreaking ceremony at the Lutheran Outdoor Ministries Center. “It is an honor to have a building named after me,” said Pastor Norman A. Nelson. “I will work to honor the name.” The Pastor Norman A. Nelson Program Center will be dedicated in the spring. It will be used for indoor activities at the camp year round.

An Ogle County Board member believes the body could do with fewer members and has asked for a committee to study the issue. Bruce McKinney, Rochelle, told the county board at its September meeting that he would like to see the board reduced from its current 24 members to 16. He asked Board Chairman Kim Gouker, Byron, to appoint a committee to study the issue now, well ahead of the 2020 census, after which that change could be made. “We’re too large for our size of county,” McKinney, who is also the Rochelle City Clerk, said Oct. 7. “There are other counties larger than us that have 10 or 12 members.” Gouker said last week that while he is willing to bring the question before the
board’s Executive Committee for discussion, he believes its too soon to form a committee. “It’s a little premature,” he said. “It wouldn’t happen until 2022.” McKinney told the board he believes the discussions need to begin as soon as possible. He said last week that the change would save the county about $50,00 over a 10-year period. Board members are paid $150 per month for attending three meetings, and another $50 per meeting after that. They are also reimbursed for mileage. The board chairman is paid an additional $250 per month. Besides the monthly board meetings, board members also serve on numerous committees which also meet monthly. Changing the size and configuration of the board can be done only after a census, and any changes take effect at the first election after the census. Turn to A8

The Oregon Republican Reporter was founded in 1851 as the Ogle County Reporter. In 1889, the Ogle County Republican, a competing newspaper, was started. In 1890, the Republican was sold to Ziba Landers. Upon his death in 1939, the newspaper was assumed by his son, Ernest D. In March 1951, Paul F. Behan, owner of the Reporter, and E.D. Landers and his son E.G. (Tim) Landers united the newspapers into the Republican Reporter. Ernest D. Landers died in 1966, and E.G. and Behan became partners. Eventually, E.G. Landers assumed sole ownership, and in 1985 he sold the newspaper to B.F. Shaw Printing, Dixon. Ogle County Newspapers also prints the Mt.

Koontz Turkey Farm raised 14,000 birds annually 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 one of a series of the articles he has written. By Otto Dick Much of the following information and photos came from the Koons (Koontz) family album. Some of us remember the Harper Koontz Turkey Farm located at the corner of Daysville Road and Ill. 64, now the Napa Store. “Management and labor problems are nothing new to H. R. Koontz of Oregon who sends 14,000 birds down the assembly line annually,” the album read. “When hatching and raising turkeys to maturity on a mass production basis, you can build up more profits by cutting down the time and work involved. That’s part of H. R. Koontz’s successful turkey raising technique.” “Modern operating methods, including electric incubators, brooders, running water system and lighting help him smooth out production from start to finish. His present plans call for electric feed grinding and mixing equipment.” “Turkey eggs are placed in thermostatically controlled incubators with 3,000 eggs capacity and out come the turkeys in about 18 days.” A photo caption showing the incubator stated it produces the little fellows
with a minimum of work and watching. The next step after hatching was placing the turkeys in battery b r o o d e r s where they remained for approximately 10 days. The young turkeys were then placed under one of the tent brooders where they remain for five or six weeks. After the five or six weeks under the brooders they were moved to shelters projecting from the top floor of the barn where they were supplied with feed and running water. These shelters called sunporches protected the young turkeys from the weather and disease infections and contamination from their own droppings. The droppings passed through screens and removed from underneath the brooders. Graduating from the barn shelters the birds were moved outside until they were ready to be marketed. Each year dressed turkeys were placed into a cold locker on the farm for storage until Christmas and New Year’s. One article mentioned most of the Rockford area hotels, restaurants and factories got their turkeys from the Koontz Farm. On Feb. 18, 1949 the caption of a photo of new incubators installed at the Koontz Turkey Farm mentioned two incubators, each holding 8,750 turkey eggs. The eggs were heated and automatically turned every few hours, a job that was

usually done by hand. Another photo caption stated that the gobbler held in the photo by Mrs. Koontz bids farewell to the prize turkey gobbler as he and thousands of his fellow
gobblers prepare to make the supreme sacrifice so that Thanksgiving tables of Rockford and northern Illinois may be appropriately laden. In 1950 Harper Koontz
operated the Koontz Royal Blue Store located in the 300 block of Washington Street in downtown Oregon. His 1982 to 1985 driver’s license shows he lived at 704
Washington St. in Oregon. Harper’s date of birth was May 2, 1906 at Waynesboro, Pennsylvania. He died at Pinecrest Manor in Mt. Morris at the age of 86.
Fall Fest dinner will be held in Mt. Morris Oct. 28 The annual Fall Fest dinner will be held on Friday, Oct. 28 from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at Disciples United Methodist Church, at the corner of Hitt Street (Ill. 64) and Maple Avenue at the west edge of Mt.
Morris. This year’s event will include the “cookies by the pound sale” and silent auction full of trendy, useful, and fun items. Both the silent auction and cookie sale will take place
from 3 to 7 p.m. Tickets for the dinner are $8 for adults, $4 for children 6-12 are $4, and children 5 and under eat free. Carry out dinners are also available for an additional 50
cents each. The Fall Fest dinner is a long-standing tradition for Mt. Morris and area residents, starting in the early 1930s at the old church on the corner of McKendrie and Front to the
present church. Early on, the women of the church held a day long bazaar and served a turkey dinner. The turkeys were provided by Bertha Baker from the Baker Turkey Farm.
In 1945 they served 459 people at 75 cents a meal. Today, a family style evening meal is served by the church women, consisting of their famous turkey casserole with all the trimmings.

Deadly disease in deer is on the rise IDNR schedules meetings to help educate public By Kathleen Schultz kschultz@saukvalley.com Chronic wasting disease, an always-fatal neurological disease that threatens the long-term health of the region’s white-tailed deer, is on the rise in Ogle County. The numbers aren’t huge, but are enough of a concern to prompt the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to add a couple of public meetings, including one in Oregon, to its annual CWD informational tour. Landowners, hunters, and concerned residents are encouraged to attend, and IDNR staff, tasked with finding ways to manage CWD, will be on hand to answer questions. CWD, normally found in southeastern Ogle County, lately also has been found in the northwest, near Forreston and German Valley, said Doug Dufford, IDNR’s wildlife disease program manager. First documented in Illinois in 2002 near Roscoe, CWD has been detected in 16 counties across the northern edge and northeastern portions of Illinois as far south as the Illinois River Valley. The other counties affected are Jo Daviess, Stephenson, Winnebago, Boone, McHenry, Lake, DeKalb, Kane, DuPage, LaSalle,
CWD meetings in October
The IDNR is holding two informational meetings on chronic wasting disease this month, ahead of the firearm deer-hunting season, which this year runs from Nov. 18 to 20, and Dec. 1 to 4. Both meetings begin at 7 p.m. with a 30-minute presentation and discussion to follow. • The Ogle County meeting is Oct. 18 at the Nash Recreation Center, 304 S. Fifth St. in Oregon. • The other meeting is Oct. 19 in the Big Rock Park District Community Building, 7S405 Madison, in Big Rock in Kane County. Contact Doug Dufford, IDNR’s wildlife disease program manager at 815-369-2414 or doug.dufford@ illinois.gov for more information. Kendall, Grundy, Will, Livingston, and Kankakee. Of those 16, the counties with the most cases as of June 30 were Boone with 11, Stephenson with 10, Jo Daviess, with 9, and Kane and McHenry with 8. The number of animals that tested positive in Ogle County over the past 5 fiscal years – from July 1 to June 30 – were two in 2012, three in 2013, one in 2014, two in 2015, and six in 2016. CWD attacks the brains of deer and elk and they eventually die. Infected deer might not show signs of the disease – excessive salivation, loss of appetite, progressive weight loss, excessive thirst and urination, listlessness, teeth grinding, holding the head in a lowered position and drooping ears – for 18 months or more. CWD can be transmitted by direct contact among animals in a herd, and through contact with or ingestion of infected saliva, blood, urine and feces. Because it can live in certain soils for many years, transmission by

is also be possible. There is no evidence that the disease can be passed to humans or to livestock, and eating the meat of an infected deer is not considered unsafe. However, because the infectious protein, or prion, that causes CWD accumulates in certain parts of the animal – the brain, eyes, spinal cord, lymph nodes, tonsils and spleen – those tissues should not be eaten, and health officials advise that no part of any animal with evidence of CWD should be eaten by humans or animals. Hunters are advised to take simple precautions when field dressing deer, such as wearing rubber gloves, boning out the meat, keeping the handling of brain and spinal tissues to a minimum, and washing hands and implements thoroughly. They also are asked to help track the disease by providing samples of harvested deer when requested and by alerting authorities when they find deer that are or are suspected to be infected.
Outdoor Adventure Club learns about animals By Lydia Sherburne Reporter
The Outdoor Adventure Club of Ogle County went to visit Russell Woods Forest Preserve in Genoa on Sept. 29. Peggy Doty was the speaker and educator. She showed us many animal skins, which we tried to identify. We also looked at animal skulls, real stuffed animals, antlers, snake skins, wings, and feathers.
Peggy Doty gave us a lot information that taught us so much. She let us pet a fox snake. She showed us how to tell a poisonous snake from a nonpoisonous snake by looking at their shed skin and their eyes if you really want to get that close. We saw how long a beaver tooth is and how far it goes back towards the neck. It was a great experience and we can’t wait to go again. Outdoor Adventure Club
is a part of the 4-H Shooting Sports. Some of the things the club teaches are animal identification, how to use a map and compass, outdoor survival basics, and hunting ethics. There are games and activities that make the learning very fun. It is so cool! For more information on this club, call the Ogle County Extension Office at 815-732-2191.

Hopes theater is successful Dear Editor, My name is John Stephen Moehle, and I grew up in Oregon. I’ve heard that a couple from Sycamore wants to reopen the movie theater in town. I think that would be awesome but the community is very small. I also believe he would have to draw people from Byron, Mt. Morris, Rochelle, Dixon, Forreston, and Polo to make the theater a success. I wish him the best of luck, and I sincerely hope it happens. Sincerely, John Stephen Moehle Vernon Hills

Charlie’s has reopened Charlie’s On Washington opened back up for business in time for Autumn on Parade, and sports a full breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu along with some speciality nights. Charlie Perrine has been a staple name in the Oregon community for more than 10 years, famously known for serving up breakfast and brunch at Charlie’s Breakfast Nook, 133 S. Fourth St. When the building on Fourth Street was sold by the owner, and Perrine’s eightmonth lease was up, he briefly considered leaving Oregon, but said he just couldn’t do it. A couple of regulars including Chris Corcoran enjoy coffee and conversation at “I stayed for the people,” Charlie’s On Washington while visiting with owner Charlie Perrine. Perrine is well- he said. “I had too many loyal known for taking the time to socialize with his customers. Photo by Zach Arbogast customers, workers, friends,
and I just couldn’t leave them.” Formerly a tanning spa, the building at 317 W. Washington St. was vacant, and Perrine jumped on moving into the building. Despite the move and renovation labor involved, he wanted to be open in time for Autumn on Parade - a feat he accomplished, albeit with a limited menu. The full menu opened up on Oct. 10. The full menu in question includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner items - expanding on being only a breakfast and brunch diner like the one Perrine was known for in the past. Along with the menu,
Charlie’s On Washington will offer some speciality nights: a Tuesday all-you-can-eat Taco night, a Thursday Italian night, and Friday boasts homestyle fried chicken. Perrine held what he referred to as a “soft opening” on Oct. 1. He said if he does a grand opening, it will be a little later on. “I want to make sure everything is absolutely right [before a grand opening],” he said. “This is the biggest project I’ve done yet, easily.” The new space is larger than the old breakfast nook, and sports handicapped access to all the tables and bathrooms - including raised platform spaces, by way of ramps and new railings.

Earliest a change could be made is after 2020 census From A1 With the next census in 2020, the changes, if any are made, would happen at the 2022 election. Redistricting, also known as reapportionment, is dictated in the U.S. Constitution, which calls for County
a census every 10 years to determine the population. The results of the census are then used to determine how many legislators can be elected to represent the residents in the local, state, and national government. The process is aimed at ensuring all citizens are
equally represented. Ogle County is currently divided into eight districts, varying from 6,300 to 7,000 residents in each. Each district is represented by three county board members, who are elected to their posts. Elections are held every

two years in November with members elected to two-year or four-year terms. McKinney said he believes the citizens could be well represented by two board members from each district rather than three. “Right now we have eight districts and with 16 we would have two per district, which I think is plenty to properly represent the constituency,” he said. In fact, McKinney said, 16 may be too many. “It may be good to reduce it further in another 10 years,” he said. “I don’t think we want to be too drastic all at once.” The 2010 census puts Ogle County’s population at
51,659 and that means each of the board’s 24 members represents 2,152 citizens. The puts the county right in the middle, compared to eight other nearby counties. The range goes from each board member in Winnebago County representing 14,353 residents to Bureau County where each represents 1,291. The Ogle County Board did redistricting in 2012 after the 2010 census, when the eight districts with three members each were approved. Prior to that the county was divided into four districts with six members from each, still resulting in a 24-member board. The populations in
communities on east side of the county were growing faster than on the west side, making redistricting necessary. When the plan was discussed and ultimately approved on June 23, 2011, county board member Bobbie Colbert, Rochelle, voiced support for a 16-member board with two members from each of the eight new districts, just as McKinney is proposing now. Her attempt to amend the plan was unsuccessful. At the time, Gouker spoke in favor of the larger board because that would more adequately represent the citizens.

To the Electors of the State of Illinois: The Illinois Constitution establishes a structure for government and laws. There are three ways to initiate change to the Illinois Constitution: (1) a constitutional convention may propose changes to any part; (2) the General Assembly may propose changes to any part; or (3) a petition initiative may propose amendments limited to structural and procedural subjects contained in the Legislative Article. The people of Illinois must approve any changes to the Constitution before they become effective. The purpose of this document is to inform you of proposed changes to the Illinois Constitution and provide you with a brief explanation and a summary of the arguments in favor of and in opposition to the proposed amendment. Proposed changes in the existing constitutional amendment are indicated by underscoring all new matter and by crossing with a line all matter which is to be deleted. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ADD SECTION 11 TO ARTICLE IX OF THE ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION ARTICLE IX – REVENUE SECTION 11. TRANSPORTATION FUNDS (a) No moneys, including bond proceeds, derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes relating to registration, title, or operation or use of vehicles, or related to the use of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or to fuels used for propelling vehicles, or derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes relating to any other transportation infrastructure or transportation operation, shall be expended for purposes other than as provided in subsections (b) and (c). (b) Transportation funds may be expended for the following: the costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation, including statutory refunds and adjustments provided in those laws; payment of highway obligations; costs for construction, reconstruction, maintenance, repair, and betterment of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or other forms of transportation; and other statutory highway purposes. Transportation funds may also be expended for the State or local share of highway funds to match federal aid highway funds, and expenses of grade separation of highways and railroad crossings, including protection of at-grade highways and railroad crossings, and, with respect to local governments, other transportation purposes as authorized by law. (c) The costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation shall be limited to direct program expenses related to the following: the enforcement of traffic, railroad, and motor carrier laws; the safety of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, or airports; and the construction, reconstruction, improvement, repair, maintenance, operation, and administration of highways, under any related provisions of law or any purpose related or incident to, including grade separation of highways and railroad crossings. The limitations to the costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation under this subsection (c) shall also include direct program expenses related to workers’ compensation claims for death or injury of employees of the State’s transportation agency; the acquisition of land and the erection of buildings for highway purposes, including the acquisition of highway rights-of-way or for investigations to determine the reasonable anticipated future highway needs; and the making of surveys, plans, specifications, and estimates for the construction and maintenance of flight strips and highways. The expenses related to the construction and maintenance of flight strips and highways under this subsection (c) are for the purpose of providing access to military and naval reservations, defense-industries, defense-industry sites, and sources of raw materials, including the replacement of existing highways and highway connections shut off from general use at military and naval reservations, defense-industries, and defense-industry sites, or the purchase of rights-of-way. (d) None of the revenues described in subsection (a) of this Section shall, by transfer, offset, or otherwise, be diverted to any purpose other than those described in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section. (e) If the General Assembly appropriates funds for a mode of transportation not described in this Section, the General Assembly must provide for a dedicated source of funding. (f) Federal funds may be spent for any purposes authorized by federal law. EXPLANATION The proposed amendment adds a new Section to the Revenue Article of the Illinois Constitution that provides revenue generated from transportation related taxes and fees (referred to as “transportation funds”) shall be used exclusively for transportation related purposes. Transportation related taxes and fees include motor fuel taxes, vehicle registration fees, and other taxes and user fees dedicated to public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit (buses and rail), ports, or airports. Under the proposed amendment, transportation funds may be used by the State or local governments only for the following purposes: (1) costs related to administering transportation and vehicle laws, including public safety purposes and the payment of obligations such as bonds; (2) the State or local share necessary to secure federal funds or for local government transportation purposes as authorized by law; (3) the construction, reconstruction, improvement, repair, maintenance, and operation of highways, mass transit, and railroad crossings; (4) expenses related to workers’ compensation claims for death or injury of transportation agency employees; and (5) to purchase land for building highways or buildings for to be used for highway purposes. This new Section is a limitation on the power of the General Assembly or a unit of local government to use, divert, or transfer transportation funds for a purpose other than transportation. It does not, and is not intended to, impact or change the way in which the State and local governments use sales taxes, including the sales and excise tax on motor fuel, or alter home rule powers granted under this Constitution. It does not seek to change the way in which the State funds programs administered by the Illinois Secretary of State, Illinois Department of Transportation, and operations by the Illinois State Police directly dedicated to the safety of roads, or entities or programs funded by units of local government. Further, the Section does not impact the expenditure of federal funds, which may be spent for any purpose authorized by federal law. FORM OF BALLOT Proposed Amendment to the 1970 Illinois Constitution Explanation of Amendment The proposed amendment adds a new section to the Revenue Article of the Illinois Constitution. The proposed amendment provides that no moneys derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes, relating to registration, titles, operation, or use of vehicles or public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, or airports, or motor fuels, including bond proceeds, shall be expended for other than costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation, costs for construction, reconstruction, maintenance, repair, and betterment of public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or other forms of transportation, and other statutory highway purposes, including the State or local share to match federal aid highway funds. You are asked to decide whether the proposed amendment should become part of the Illinois Constitution. YES –––– NO

Reading Matters Picture books help with comprehension By Mary Gardner Reading Specialist Understanding what we read is the ultimate goal of all the reading we do. The same is true for our children and grandchildren as they learn to read and in all the reading they do for school. Without comprehension, there is no point to reading. One thing we can do to support our children and grandchildren is to be sure to discuss what we read to and with them. These conversations about what is read allow children to talk through their ideas
and understandings. We should also share our ideas with them. That can lead to questions and further discussions, especially if we disagree with them about what the text says. There are a number of wordless picture books that lend themselves to these comprehension discussions. Interpreting the illustrations becomes the focus with these books. Wordless books can, in fact, help struggling readers. They take away the pressure and work of trying to read the words. The only thing left to do is try to understand what the illustrator is trying to tell us. Sometimes working with wordless books for a time helps struggling readers grasp the idea that it is their job as a reader to make meaning of the text – words and/or pictures.
Some might say it is not really reading if there are no words, but the skills of inferring and comprehending are definitely needed to understand these books. Artist Jerry Pinkney created a beautiful picture book “The Lion and the Mouse.” There are a few words in this book – words for the sounds heard. The rest of the story is told by the illustrations. This might be a familiar story so it would be an excellent choice for retelling and having a conversation about the meaning. These authors have created several wordless picture books: Barbar Lehman, Mark Pett, and David Weisner. Look for them at your library or bookstore. “The Wave” by Suzy Lee is a wordless book that tells the story of a little girl’s day
at the beach. “Goodnight, Gorilla” by Peggy Rathmann has some words, but much of the story is told in the illustrations as Gorilla takes the keys from the zookeeper’s pocket and quietly unlocks all the cages. This is excellent practice for the skill of making inferences which is a vital aspect of reading comprehension. When reading wordless books with our children and grandchildren we should first look through the whole book to get some ideas about the story being told. Then we can go back to the beginning and look closely at each page talking about what is happening and what it means. We can tell each other the story. We should also enjoy the artwork along the way!

Final round
Abi Scheidecker heads to state By Andy Colbert Acolbert@oglecounty news.com It will be a much deserved trip downstate in golf for Oregon senior Abi Scheidecker. According to coach Jim Spratt, Abi joins her sister Ali (2014) as the only girls in school history to qualify for the IHSA state meet. Abi shot an 83 at the Rock Falls 1A sectional to advance as an individual. Ali had a 98 and was well off the 84 needed to advance. “Though Ali didn’t make it, both girls deserve credit for helping Oregon girls golf to the sectional three times as a team,” Spratt said. “They have committed so much time and energy to it. They’ll leave big footsteps to follow.” Scheidecker shot a 43 on the first nine at the Rock River Golf Club and followed that up with a 40. “Between rounds, I told her to keep grinding. The back nine holes suited her style of play better,” Spratt said. We knew if she stayed close to the mid 80s,
she’d have a chance to go.” Scheidecker did not let the pressure get to her Saturday. “The past couple years at sectionals, I’ve let the pressure get to me and let the nerves get to me, and that’s why I haven’t made it out, because I’ve been trying too hard,” Abi said. “This year, I just decided that nerves and letting the pressure get to me and overthinking everything was not going to get me anywhere, so I let my nerves just fade away and just played my game. Now, it’s going to be all fun, no pressure. Now that I’ve made it [to state], that’s all that matters.” Oregon finished 10th out of 12 teams with a score of 406. Rockford Boylan took first with 349, followed by Rockford Lutheran at 358 and Metamora with 365. Byron finished one spot out of advancing and had to settle for fourth with a 367. Besides the 98 by Ali Scheidecker, Oregon got a 104 from senior Haley Repass, 121 from Lizzy Villareal and Alex Oregon’s Abi Scheidecker watches her ball on the 18th hole at Rock Ocampo and 139 from Isabelle River Golf and Pool in Rock Falls Saturday afternoon.

for boys By Andy Colbert Acolbert@oglecounty news.com The season came to an end for two Oregon Hawks that advanced to the Elgin Westminster 1A sectional. Sophomore Adam Merrill carded an 82 and senior Matt Myers an 85 to miss qualifying for the state meet. A 6-man playoff for one final spot at 80 was the cut off, with Anthony Mendoza of West Carroll grabbing it. In a bit of surprise, Putnam County beat defending state champ Byron 308 to 314 for the sectional title. Aurora Christian took the final statequalifying spot with a 320. The individual medalist was Winnebago freshman Marcus Smith, who shot even par-71 on the 6,330-yard Randall Oaks Course. “Adam’s play was pretty balanced at 42 and 40,” Turn to B2
Hawks earn opening 6-2 victory at home regional By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com After a slow start, the Oregon soccer team poured it on in the second half against Kirkland Hiawatha and advanced to the 1A regional final with a 6-2 win Tuesday evening. It was the team’s third straight win, the longest streak of the year. Berto Dominguez scored two minutes into the game and then the Hawks failed to score the remaining 38 minutes of the first half. “We had about 21 shots
right at the keeper,” Oregon coach Seger Larson said. “Nothing dropped. We tried to dribble too much.” Josh Sitze, Peter Smid, Eduardo Guzman, Nick Zalzalah and Alex Sitze all had second half goals, as Oregon took a 6-0 lead. “We played much better in the second half, especially with our passing,” Larson said. Oregon (12-10), will likely play Rockford Lutheran on Friday at 4:15 for the regional title at Park West. “It should be another evenly-matched game,” said
Larson ,whose team beat Lutheran 4-3 last week. The Hawks soccer team defeated Rockford Lutheran 4-3 on Oct. 4 at Oregon Park West. Petr Smid led Oregon with two goals while Eduardo Guzman and Josh Sitze each scored. Kaden Humphrey had two assists and Berto Dominquez recorded one assist. Defensively, Humphrey had four saves/interceptions followed by Alex Sitze with three. Goalkeeper Jaspreet Gill had nine saves.
offense, though Gylian Finch and Bailey Nelson combined for 20 kills for the Lady Hawks (11-10, 3-3). “What hurt us the most was offensive errors,” Watson said. “It wasn’t (Weaver). We didn’t execute and were complacent.” In the first game, Oregon had a 17-15 lead, but a pair of errors let Stillman (184, 4-2) gain control. Senior team leader Grace Timm then had a kill and a dink for a 23-20 Lady Cardinal lead. Weaver closed things out with a powerhouse swing that no one from Oregon had a chance on. “She’s a difference-maker for us,” SV coach Jamie McCarty said. “We make adjustments when she is in the game and when she is out.” With Stillman leading 22-18 in the second game, Weaver went to the bench
and waited for the front-line rotation to come back to her. In her absence, the Lady Hawks tied the score 23-23. But, it was another Oregon error that made it 24-23. Weaver returned and the result was the final 2-point margin of victory. “We’ve learned to work on rally-scoring and not let our feathers get ruffled,” McCarty said. Stillman was without its regular setter Stephanie Anderson and McCarty was especially pleased with the job by her back-up, Breanna Crown. “Breanna was the one that kept us in the game,” he said. Oregon looked to be on its way to a win in the second game. It had a 12-6 lead and still maintained a 15-11 advantage on a nifty misdirection shot by Haylie Rorbeck. Stillman came roaring back, though, with six straight points to take the lead for good at 18-16. Afterwards, Watson was not happy with her team’s performance. “Sometimes, good enough is good enough. And, sometimes not good enough is good enough,” she said. “We have to figure out what will make us tick and we have three conference games and two tournaments (before the post season) to do that.” Oregon travels to Dixon on Thursday to take on the Duchesses.
Lady Hawks lose in two By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com It was only appropriate that the longest rally of the night between Oregon and Stillman Valley ended on a kill by Macy Weaver of the Lady Cardinals. That shot closed out the match and gave her team a 2-game win over Oregon, 25-21 and 2523. “That last rally was fantastic,” Oregon coach Faith Watson said. The 6-foot Weaver nearly put the game away earlier in the rally, but Aleah Wight dug a rocket shot up inches from the court to keep it going. It was one of several digs Wight made. “She plays with heart,” Watson said. Weaver had 12 kills and no one on Oregon’s team was able to match up with her on

Tough loss for Hawk FB By Andy Colbert Acolbert@oglecounty news.com It was another tough BNC opponent for the Oregon Hawk football team in a 35-14 loss to Rockford Lutheran. Behind four rushing touchdowns by senior newcomer Naeem Pruitt, the Crusaders jumped off to a 28-0 halftime lead and never looked back. “Lutheran is still a very fast and talented team,” Oregon coach Bothe said. “Although they are not on the par of the last two Lutheran teams, they will still be a very tough 4A playoff team.” It was the fifth straight win for Lutheran after starting 0-2. Oregon fell to 1-6 overall. Pruitt had 161 yard rushing and Nicolas Brigham
added 179 yards passing to give Lutheran a balanced offensive attack. One positive for Oregon was out-gaining Lutheran 244-243 on the ground. Jacob Cullen led the Hawks with 73 yards on 10 carries. “We are pleased to move the ball as well as we did on the ground in the second half,” Bothe said. Nathan Clark (7-for-56 yards rushing) busted off a 40-yard touchdown run in the third quarter to but the lead to 28-7. “We really came out in the second half and played well,” Bothe said. “Lutheran came out flat after the half.” With six minutes left in the game, Devin DeHaan added a 9-yard touchdown and Oregon only trailed 28-14, this to a program that shut them out 60-0 last year.
“To get to 28-14 was a good achievement at that time,” Bothe said. “I thought the kids played really hard the whole game and we had several players step into key roles due to injuries.” For the season, Caleb Mennen leads Oregon with 604 yards rushing on 88 attempts. Jacob Cullen has 455 yards on 86 tries. DeHaan is next with 294 on 65 carries. As a team the Hawks are only 7-of-28 passing for 99 yards. Will Rice has three catches for 50 yards and Chase Prehn two receptions for 34 yards. Anthony Marchetti continues to lead in tackles with 55, though Kole Mowry already has 41 after two and half games. Mennen has 46 Turn to B2

points. Oregon travels to Stillman Valley to face the 2-5 Cardinals. Stillman is coming off a 30-29 win over Rock Falls, a game in which fullback Brady Atchison carried the ball 42 times. “Stillman Valley has really committed to the fullback
and Cullen 37 tackles. Mennen and Cullen are leading scorers with six touchdowns each. Jared Pottorff has scored three ways this season. He has a touchdown, field goal and 12 extra points for 21
and gotten away from their other skill players,” Bothe said. “It makes sense though as it plays to the strength that they have at fullback and the offensive line. They had run a lot of clock and it has helped their defense. It will be tough to stop it even though you know it is coming.”
The regular girls volleyball season wraps up soon, and that means regionals begin on Oct. 24. At the 2A Dakota regional, Forreston kicks things off against Savanna (West Carroll) that evening at 6 p.m., with the winner facing host Dakota on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. Following this game, Oregon squares off against Pecatonia at 6:30. The winners of Tuesday’s games will play for the regional title on Thursday, October 27 at 6:00 p.m. The winner of this series goes on to the Byron Sectional on November 1 to face the winner of the Aurora (A. Christian) Regional. Also on October 24, Polo hosts its own regional in 1A action, taking on Kirkland (Hiawatha) in match 1 at 6 p.m. The winner of this match will face Lanark (Eastland) the following evening at 5:30. After this game Amboy faces Milledgeville at 6:30. Both Tuesday evening winners will compete against each other that Thursday, October 27 for the regional title. That winner moves on to the Lanark (Eastland) Sectional on November 1 to face the winner of the Rockford (Christian Life) Regional. That match is at 6:30 p.m.

Strong effort for Hawks From B1 Oregon coach Jim Spratt said. “he kept plugging along and had a birdie at No. 10. Then he ran into a couple of double bogies that probably kept him out of the playoffs.” Spratt was especially impressed with Merrill’s putting. “He putted phenomenal,” Spratt said. “He just needed more on the tee shots. Going into next year, this is his team, since we don’t have any juniors.” For Myers, it was his third straight trip to the sectional and ended a stellar career at Oregon. “Matt started real well with a 40 and then it seemed like he got into a rush,” Spratt said. “His short game was Adam Merrill of Oregon takes a shot towards the #1 a little erratic, costing him Ali Scheidecker hits a drive during regional golf at Chapel Hill Oct. 5.

cross country team is out for soccer, thus hurting their numbers. The only fall sport that has an abundance of members is volleyball. But, only six of them can play at a time. The sport most affected by low numbers is football. Oregon is finding that out, as it has yet to win a game in the Big Northern conference. They have two good chances upcoming against Stillman Valley and Rockford Christian. However, RC put up six touchdowns on Winnebago last week and lost 43-41 in overtime. I figured the RC game a sure win for Oregon. After what RC did against ‘Bago, I take back what I said about RC. According to assistant coach Ken Scott, Rock Falls should have beaten SV last week, but fumbled twice in the later stages of the game. That was a devastating loss to a team fighting for its playoff lives. No matter what the records, the Oregon and Stillman game promises to be a good one. I look forward to a wellplayed, hard-hitting contest. Hard to believe that SV coach Mike Lalor and Oregon’s John Bothe are both in their 19th year as head coaches. Both men had similar rural upbringings and their
personalities reflect that quiet humility. I tend to stay out of the public-private school sports debate, primarily because there is no clear-cut answer to it. But, I found it odd that NIU’s starting quarterback and featured running back come from the same high school – Aurora Christian. If Chad Beebe wouldn’t have been injured, he too may have started at receiver. I bring this up, because the odds of a school of less than 300 enrollment having two of its players being starters on a D-I football program is extremely unlikely. It’s rare that even one player would make it to the big time like that. To me, that is evidence that private schools have an unfair advantage in obtaining talent. When you rely on homegrown talent like Oregon, or other schools in Ogle county, you get strictly what is your town alone provides. One of the biggest smallschool cross country meets of the year took place on Columbus Day at Amboy, with about 50 boys and girls teams. Did you know that Mt. Morris was team champion the first three years the meet was contested in 1973-75. Oregon’s lone championship came in 1993, but the Hawks have had two

individual champs – Jake Carpenter in 1994 and Andy Temble in 2002. This year’s boys meet was dandy, as two-time defending champ Tanner Cada of Hinckley-Big Rock lost to undefeated Brayden Hamblen of Rock Falls. Both runners are cofavorites to win state and will be on display at the Oregon 1A sectional. Last week, mention was made of the Hennepin 100mile run. It seems as though 100 miles wasn’t enough for one of the runners. Stormy Kies, a 48-year old from Woodstock who finished with a time of 26 hours and 46 minutes, turned around and ran 100 miles back to starting line, for a total of 60 hours of running. It’s probably safe to say that he slept pretty well that night.

Morris, he married his high school sweetheart from just two doors down, Barbara Jean Payne, whom he still referred to as his lovely bride after almost 67 years of marriage. After graduating from Mt. Morris High School, David entered a printing apprenticeship at Kable Printing, Mt.

In 1977, he accepted a position in Yankton, South Dakota, at Gurney Seed and
Nursery as vice president of Catalog Production. Ten years later, David moved his love of printing and publishing to Swiss Colony in Monroe, Wisconsin, where he was executive director of Catalog Advertising and Production. In retirement, he enjoyed spending hours in his workshop building birdhouses and painting signs for everyone he knew. David was a member of the National Honor Society of the Boy Scouts of America Order of the Arrow and later served as an assistant scout master. He enjoyed memberships with the Rock River Craftsman, Lions Club,
Elks Club, Loyal Order of the Moose, Masonic Lodge, United Methodist Church and VFW. He served in the United States Army Signal Corps on Eniwetok in the Marshall Islands during the Korean War.

Administered in Illinois by the Universal Telephone Assistance Corporation (UTAC) LifeLine Program Making local phone service affordable Lifeline is a program which provides $9.25 in assistance to help pay monthly charge from local telephone service. This federally funded program is available to qualified low-income consumers. If the qualifying low-income consumer voluntarily elects toll blocking while initiating Lifeline service, a service deposit is not required. If toll blocking is unavailable, the carrier may charge a service deposit. Toll blocking will prevent the connection of outgoing toll calls from a residence. Who is eligible for these programs? You are eligible if you are a recipient of one of the following programs: Medicaid SNAP (food stamps) Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Federal Public Housing Assistance Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) National School Lunch Free Lunch Program Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) Where can I apply for the LifeLine and/or LinkUp programs? For additional information or enrollment in these programs, contact the Leaf River Telephone Company. Link-up and Lifeline are federally funded programs. The Illinois Commerce Commission cannot guarantee that all Eligible Telecommunications Carriers will receive funding to support these programs. Reimbursement for these programs depends on the FCC's Fund Administrator's management and distribution of the funds collected through universal service mechanisms. The Universal Telephone Service Assistance Program (UTSAP)
The Universal Telephone Service Assistance Program (UTSAP) is funded by voluntary contributions from Illinois ratepayers. Consumers wishing to participate in the funding of UTSAP may do so by electing to contribute, on a monthly basis, a fixed amount to be included by the Leaf River Telephone Company on their monthly telephone bill. Customers may designate an amount to be included each month from these choices Residential customers

Customers may also elect to make a onetime contribution to the UTSAP Administrator. It is the responsibility of the local exchange company to solicit, collect and remit the contributions on behalf of the customers to the UTSAP Administrator. The address of the UTSAP Administrator is: Post Office Box 1176, Springfield, Illinois 62705-1176. The voluntary contributions assist qualified low-income customers by providing additional assistance to the Universal Telephone Assistance programs. Those who wish to apply for assistance or make a contribution to UTSAP may contact their local telephone company. Each year the Commission determines the amount of UTSAP assistance, most recently in Docket 07-0399. October 13, 2016
