Grant will pay for part of new roof By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com A federal grant will help pay for a new roof on the River Valley Complex in Leaf River. Leaf River Village President Josh Lamping said the village has been awarded a $25,000 grant from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture Rural Development. The village owns the River Valley Complex, which was formerly the Leaf River School. Village offices are located in the building. Lamping said the entire roof will be replaced at a cost of $75,000 by Freeport Industrial Roofing.
Village clerk Tena Krueger said the work is expected to begin in the near future. Lamping said the several areas of the large roof have been leaking for some time. He said the River Valley Complex Board will contribute $10,000 toward the project from the money they make from renting space in the building.
The remaining $40,000 will come from village coffers, Lamping said. Small businesses, including Chatty Lady Creations, a flower and gift shop, are located in the River Valley Complex. Classrooms and the gym and cafeteria can be rented for meetings, classes, and family events.
Visitors to the Ogle County Courthouse will quickly notice a large hole on the side of the building. The steps leading into the west side of the building have been removed and on Tuesday afternoon a gaping hole and construction equipment was at the site. Sjostrom & Sons, Rockford is replacing the deteriorating steps that lead to the first floor of the 125-year-old courthouse. “The work will cost $286,300 for both the east and west steps and the ADA entrance,” said Ogle County Board Long Range Planning Chairman Don Griffin. “The steps will be made of granite and will have a rough surface to prevent slipping.”
Plans also call for spending $22,000 to heat the steps. Griffin said that will make the steps safer during the winter months by keeping snow and ice from building up. “Work began on the west side a couple weeks ago,” he said. “The east side work will be done as soon as the west steps are finished.” Each set of steps is estimated to take six weeks to complete. Funds to pay for the project will come from the Long Range Planning Fund. The revenues in the fund come from host fees paid by garbage companies to dump in landfills in the county. Work will also be done on the ADA entrance into the basement of the building. Renovations to the courthouse were completed in 2010.
Black Hawk repairs are on hold By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Efforts to preserve Ogle County’s most well-known landmark are indefinitely on hold due to a conflict over artistic integrity. Repair work on the Black Hawk Statue has been halted while the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) looks for
a new general contractor for the project to replace Dr. Andrzej Dajnowski from Conservation of Sculpture & Objects Studio, Forest Park. “The contract with the project’s general contractor has not been renewed, so repairs have halted temporarily while the Illinois Department of Natural Resources seeks a new general contractor. No timeline has been established
yet for when work might be restarted,” IDNR Communications Director Chris Young said in an email sent May 4. The IDNR has jurisdiction over the statue because it’s situated in Lowden State Park near Oregon. Dajnowski, who was under contract last year with the IDNR to work on the 105-year-old statue, said he declined to sign the contract
the IDNR sent him for this year because it stipulated that the repairs be done in a way he could not agree to. “They hired an engineer who wanted to remove more of the surface of the statue than necessary,” he said. “Ethically that’s not acceptable. I’m a conservator, she’s an engineer.” Workers from Sjostrom and Sons, Rockford, have been He confirmed that the removing the old steps on the west entrance of the Ogle Turn to A3 County Courthouse.

Duane Linscott devoted four decades to police work By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com A Mt. Morris man who really never intended to become a police officer ended up working for five area departments and devoting 42 years of his life to public service. Margie Linscott said her late husband Duane came from a family devoted to law enforcement but didn’t want that for himself. “He said he never wanted to be a cop because his dad was a cop,” Margie said. “He knew the demands of the job.” Duane’s father was a Lee County deputy, and his mother was a police matron. By the time of his death from a blood disorder last December, Duane had worked part-time as an Ogle County deputy and as a reserve officer for the Oregon, Mt. Morris, Polo, and Byron Police Margie Linscott shows her the badges and patches her husband Duane collected over his years as a reserve Departments. policeman and ambulance crew member. Photo by Vinde Wells
National Police Week is May 15-21 Besides that, he had worked on ambulance crews and was the Ogle County Chief Deputy Coroner for 18 years. “He loved people ,” Margie said. “Everyone kept asking him ‘will you help us out here, will you help us out there.’ He never said no. He was just glad to help.” After graduating from Ashton High School in 1970, Duane went to work for the DeKalb Ogle Telephone Company as a lineman. He worked for the same company for 30 years, through changes of ownership and name, retiring from Verizon in 2000. Duane and Margie were married in 1973, and not long after he and a friend applied for deputy positions with the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department. Both were hired. That started Duane’s career Turn to A4

Headstones need repairs The White Oak Cemetery Improvement Committee is seeking donations to repair headstones that have fallen over. Committee member Russ Ruter said money is needed to continue the project of straightening up the headstones and repairing them. “Many family members are interred here with no one to tend to the burial site,� he said. “Children have been forgotten because of the many years that have lapsed. Families have either moved away or are now deceased. Many old wooden caskets have decayed and returned to the earth leaving the headstone to lose its base and tip over.� The Improvement
Committee, which is separate from the cemetery board of trustees, has already completed several projects at the cemetery. “You should remember what it looked like in the 1980 to 1990s, compared to what it looks like now,� he
said. “But we are not done yet. Let’s straighten up the headstones. We need your help in donations to continue this project.� Other Improvement Committee members are Rick Stukenberg and Lloyd Wubbena.
Cemetery donations can be made at bank Donations to the White Oak Cemetery Improvement Committee can be made at Forreston State Bank. Donations can be mailed to the bank at PO Box 278, Forreston IL 61030. Contributions can also be given to Sue Engelkens at the bank. When making a donation by check, write “improvement� on the memo line.

The Forreston Journal was founded in 1865 by C.E. Slocum as the Forreston Herald. He later changed the name to Forreston Journal. The newspaper was purchased by Wesley W. Buckley in 1910. He died in December 1917, and the newspaper was taken over by his wife, Susan. In 1927, John J. Wagner and G.C. Terry, co-owners of the Tri-County Press, Polo, purchased the Forreston Journal. Terry bought out Wagner's interest in 1930, and the newspaper stayed in the Terry family until 1977, when Danny C. Terry sold out to B.F. Shaw Printing of Dixon, publisher of the Dixon Telegraph.

Grant money for project has not been released From A1 engineer is Amy Lamb Woods from Simpson Gumperta & Heger, a Chicago-based engineering firm that designs, investigates, and rehabilitates structures and building enclosures. Lamb Woods referred questions about the project to Young. “It’s the first time in my life I’ve ever walked away from a contract,” Dajnowski said. “It took seven years to get to this point.” Dajnowski said the new contract also gave him no compensation for the scaffolding which surrounds and protects the statue. “I could not work for one more year with no additional money for the scaffolding,” he said. Most of the scaffolding, which completely surrounds Black Hawk, belongs to Dajnowski, but he rents some portions of it. Green plastic mesh is wrapped around it to protect the statue from the elements, particularly winter weather, and prevent further damage. The scaffolding has been in place since December of 2014 when Dajnowski and his crew built it around the 50-foot concrete statue, put a roof over it, and then
enclosed it in dark green plastic mesh. Dajnowski said he charges $75 per day for the scaffolding, and that cost is being paid by the Dillon Foundation, Sterling. “It’s not about the cost — it’s about protecting the sculpture,” Dajnowski said. “I can’t take it down and walk away. Without protection it will be exposed to the elements.” Created by sculptor Lorado Taft in 1910 as a tribute to all Native Americans, the statue stands on a 125-foot bluff overlooking the Rock River and draws thousands of visitors each year. It was unveiled and dedicated in 1911. The effects of time and weather have caused parts of the statue to crumble and fall off. Dajnowski had high praise for the Dillon Foundation and for Frank Rausa, who spearheaded the effort to have the state repaired. “I have nothing but good things to say about the Dillon Foundation and Frank Rausa,” he said. “I wish I could have done more, but it’s not up to me.” Rausa, along with his wife Cherron, heads up the Friends of the Black Hawk Statue, an organization
formed approximately seven years ago to develop a plan and raise the funds to have the statue repaired. Most of the estimated $900,000 had been raised, but Rausa said Tuesday that much of the money has been used up due to the state’s lack of a budget. A large portion of the money for the project came from a $350,000 grant the IDNR received from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. However, Rausa said the state has not released any of the grant money. “The state can’t issue any checks until the budget is passed so we’ve used a lot of our money,” he said. In fact, Rausa plans a trip to Springfield this week to see if some funds can be released and to find out more about how the IDNR plans to replace Dajnowski. Other than the grant, the money for the project came from donations, as well as funds raised during the annual Oregon Trail Days festival held at Lowden Park from 2010-2014. A large contributor was the Jeffris Family Foundation, Janesville, Wis., which gave a $150,000 matching grant. The project has been beset

with delays from the start. Red tape and getting official approval of a plan and contract repeatedly delayed the work. Everything seemed to be in place in the fall of 2014 after IDNR officials signed a contract with Dajnowski. However, the IDNR terminated that contract and revised it. Dajnowski signed the revised contract in the spring of 2015 but another glitch slowed the process when Lamb Woods left her former employer Thornton Tomasetti and joined Simpson Gumperta & Heger. At a presentation in July of 2014, Lamb Woods said testing and evaluations showed that three areas are in dire need of repairs. The folded arms of the statue, especially the elbows and underneath the arms; the middle of the robe; and the vertical fold in the robe from armpit to toe are the critical areas. Her presentation included photos of the damaged areas, as well as illustrations of how the statue was constructed, and the plan for how to restore it. The plan had to be

Linscott spent time at numerous departments From A1 as a reserve police officer – all the while continuing to work full-time for the telephone company. He also was soon working part-time for the Oregon Police Department. Then he was asked to join the Oregon ambulance crew. He agreed and took First Responders training. “As time went on we had a telephone company pager, an Oregon Police Department pager, and an Oregon ambulance pager,” Margie remembered with a laugh. When the Mt. Morris Police Department was short-handed, Duane went to work for them to help out over the Fourth of July and if traffic control was needed. He also answered the need when the Polo Police Department was shorthanded and helped train
officers there. “He helped out in Byron, too,” Margie said. “He had credentials to work for five different departments besides having a full-time job.” Duane was offered a fulltime police position but with a growing family didn’t want to give up the wages and benefits he already had with the telephone company. The couple have a son and daughter and four grandchildren. The many obligations led to some interesting situations. Once during a storm, Duane was called out by the telephone company to repair a telephone line. While he was out, other calls came fast and furious, including a police call, and ambulance call, and a call to go to the county’s morgue. “He left to fix a telephone
wire and came home the next day,” Margie said with a smile. In the era before cell phones, Duane was working on the phone line when he noticed a motorist in difficulty. He determined she was unable to speak. He gave her first aid and also clipped onto the phone line to call for an ambulance. Duane was frequently called out of bed for phone company, police, or Scrapbooks, newspaper clippings, and family photos recount Duane Linscott’s ambulance calls. “Not everybody wanted dedication to his family and Serving the public.

Eden named state lifetime volunteer for helping 4-H An Oregon resident recently received a state award honoring him for his decades of volunteer work. Stan Eden was named Illinois’ Lifetime Volunteer Award recipient for his work with Ogle County 4-H clubs. Illinois 4-H relies on more than 12,000 volunteers to reach nearly 200,000 youth in University of Illinois Extension 4-H youth development programs. Eden was one of two were recently selected as the state’s national 4-H Salute to

Eden was a U of I Extension farm advisor for 42 years. He retired in 2002, and has continued to volunteer for the last 13 years. An advocate for 4-H, Eden’s involvement ranges from weighing cattle and
teaching livestock judging to mentoring youth in woodworking or rallying efforts to build a new 4-H fairgrounds. “One of Stan’s greatest gifts to 4-H has been his ability to bring people together for work and play,” said Debbie Burkman, former colleague and youth development educator now serving in Wisconsin. “He is well liked and highly respected by young and old, and that has enabled him to help groups through difficult situations and keep
people focused on what is good and important about the tasks at hand. His passion for service could be rivaled by few, and his commitment to spreading his 4-H joy across multiple generations of his family is amazing.” Eden also serves as a member of Extension Partners, a grassroots organization which tells Extension’s impact to Illinois legislators. “The words ‘can’t’ and ‘no’ do not fit in his vocabulary,” said Ron Kern, Ogle County

Garden tractors will be on display Preparations are underway for the seventh annual AJ’s Garden Tractor Jamboree on Saturday, May 14 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the family property at 1675 S. Columbian Rd., rural Oregon. “As the weather has warmed over the last week or so we are all looking forward to another fun and exciting day,” said organizer Lisa Hinrichs. “There is plenty of room for parking and garden tractors. Last year we had over 300 garden tractors and we expect this to be our
biggest year yet.” “Collectors from all over the Midwest bring their tractors out for a chance to share their enthusiasm for these pint-sized pieces of history. We have had people come from as far away as Minneapolis, Minnesota, and tractors from as far back as the 1940s,” said Andy Hinrichs. “There is something for everyone to enjoy at the show.” Along with the usual events including the Garden Tractor Parade, various vendors, and GardenTractor
Games, plowing and plenty of opportunities will be available to talk to collectors about their collections. “This year we will be trying to use one-row planters behind garden tractors to plant oats, and we even have a garden tractor teeter-totter, slowest tractor race, and awards for most tractors on one trailer, longest distance traveled, most tractors owned by one person, and a few more,” Andy said. The Blackhawk Crossing 4-H club will be on hand to help with the festivities
and offer entertainment for young and old. They will have free games for the kids. The show even has many items that will be auctioned off and all funds raised will be donated to the club. “The food stand will be open again this year with our famous brats, pork chop and steak sandwiches,” Lisa said. Admission is $5 per person for ages 5 and older. For more information call Andy or Lisa Hinrichs at 815-732-6551.

Butterfly lecture will be held May 22 in Byron The Byron Forest Preserve will host a Butterflies of Illinois lecture on Sunday, May 22 at 2 p.m. at the Jarrett Prairie Center Museum. This presentation was originally scheduled for last Feb. 14 but was cancelled due to a snow storm. Dr. Michael Jeffords, recently retired entomologist for the Illinois Natural
History Survey, and Susan Post, Biological Control Specialist for the Illinois Natural History Survey, will share their knowledge and passion for the butterflies found in gardens and rare natural areas of our state, as well as breathtaking photographs that they have captured of the many butterflies that call Illinois home.
They will also speak about what it takes to prepare a field guide and will have copies of their book “A Field Guide to Illinois Butterflies” for sale. For more information contact the Byron Forest Preserve District at 815234-8535 ext. 200 or visit the website at www. byronforestpreserve.com.
Construction resumes on I-39 The Illinois Department of Transportation announced May 5 that weather permitting, construction work would resume on I-39 on Monday, May 9. Rock Road Companies will resurface the ramps at the Ill. 64 interchange north of Rochelle. The work is part of the $33 million project to resurface the 20-mile section of I-39 from Baxter Road south of Rockford to I-88 near Rochelle. William Charles Construction Company and Rock Road Companies are the two contractors for the project that is expected to be completed early this fall.
Work started in April of 2015 and one half of the project was completed last summer before work was suspended for the winter. Starting on Sunday, May 15 motorists need to be extra alert when traveling through the area at night. Most of the construction work will be done between 7 p.m. in the evening and 8 a.m. the next morning. Drivers need to reduce speed because of the limited visibility and slowing moving construction vehicles that will be entering and exiting the work areas. Drivers should also be prepared to stop for vehicles moving slowly because of
the lane closures. To minimize traffic congestion and reduce travel delays, work will be scheduled to have all lanes open by Friday morning for each weekend. The contractors can start work at 7 p.m. on Sunday evening and must have all lanes open by 8 a.m. on Friday morning. Traffic will be restricted to one lane in the areas where work operations are underway. Slow down and use extreme caution while driving through all work zones.

Rock Falls take down Cardinals By Brian Weidman Sauk Valley Media A combination of the cozy confines of Warnken Park, a helping breeze, and an unrelenting lineup of hitters added up to a pair of run-rule victories for the Rock Falls baseball team on Saturday. The Rockets opened with a 13-1 victory against Forreston-Polo, and kept up the onslaught with a 14-2 victory against LenaWinslow. Rock Falls bashed out 26 hits in the two wins, each of which went five innings, and committed just one error. “Swinging the bats has been a struggle all year, but I think we’re starting to click,” senior second baseman Alex Cantu said. “[Head coach] Donnie [Chappell] has been preaching to us every day that we’ve got to work hard, focus, and get better
at something. We work hard every day at practice, and it shows.” Against Forreston, the Rockets (23-4) played long ball. Cooper Kilberg, Clay Velazquez and Nolan Moeller each hit two-run home runs over the Warnken Park fence that measures just 310 feet to left, 330 to center, and 305 to right. Moeller (7-0) was the winning pitcher, as he gave up just three hits in five innings. The only run he allowed was on the first pitch he threw – a solo home run by the Cardinals’ Brody Grobe. “Forreston-Polo threw a good pitcher [Caleb Poffenberger] at us the first game, and we’ve struggled some against good pitching,” Chappell said. “Today, we hit the ball good throughout the lineup.”
Four athletes at Forreston High School have signed letters of intent in their respective sports. Aubrey Ingram and Abby Peterson signed to play softball at Highland Community College. Destiny Darmon signed to play softball at Rock Valley College. Kaitlin Korf signed to play golf at Monmouth College.

P-F finished fourth out of 15 teams with 134 points in the A-B-C scored format. Geneseo, a 2A power, won the meet with 292 points, followed by Metamora with 206 and Dixon at 143. The majority of teams entered were 2A. It was P-F firstever trip to Geneseo, as P-F coach Ryan Deets loaded up the schedule this season. As an example for how tough this meet was, defending 2A state champ Josh Eiker ran a 10.46 in the 100 meters. The winning shot put by Kyler Yodts of Rock Island Alleman was over 60 feet and though AJ Christensen ran a 40.13 in the 300 hurdles, it was nearly three seconds behind the 37.75 by Reed Vanderheyden of Geneseo. “It was great competition all the way across. We had some gigantic personal bests,” Deets said.

Bumsted hired as new Polo football coach By Brian Weidman Sauk Valley Media
Polo High School did not have to look far and wide to find its new varsity football coach. It merely had to peek into the industrial arts room. Jeff Bumsted, who has been part of the Marcos’ program for more than 2 decades, was hired at the Polo School Board meeting on Monday, April 25. Bumsted replaces Andrew Hofer, who resigned last month to accept a teaching and coaching position at Mercer County. “It’s always been in the back of my head to be a head coach,” Bumsted said, “and when Andrew left, I just decided it was time for me to take my shot. I know the kids, they know me and what I expect of them, and I think it will be a smooth transition.” Bumsted has taught Oregon’s Cole Burke could not handle the low throw to industrial arts at Polo for third while Forreston’s Brody Grobe slides in.

45.62 to take second. What makes that more significant is that lead-off runner Brooks Grobe was out with joint inflammation and pain. Brad Cavanaugh was only used sparingly in the open 400 and B flight 1,600 relay. “If we would have had Brooks and Brad, I think we would have gotten second,” P-F Deets said. “I very thankful to have depth to cover key injuries.” Stapleton took fourth in both the long and triple jumps. Webb went 20-3 to place second in the B flight of the long jump. The big surprise of the jumps was junior Mason Wright setting a new C-flight record in the triple jump at 40-foot-11. “After playing baseball last year, he came out for track for the first time,” Deets said. P-F needed all the personnel it could find, as the meet allowed for three entries in each individual event. With Grobe out of the meet, Deets was forced to take some of the A-flight entrants and plug them into relays. “It was a last minute scratch,” Deets said. “We didn’t know until 10 minutes before the bus was leaving Polo that Brooks wasn’t feeling right.” P-F hosts the NUIC meet on Thursday at Forreston.

“It’s always been in the back of my head to be a head coach and when Andrew left, I just decided it was time for me to take my shot. — Jeff Bumsted football coach who is also a teacher in the building was one of things that made him a more attractive candidate, according to Athletic Director Ted Alston. “Obviously that’s what we wanted, and that’s a big draw,” Alston said. “He has a good rapore with the kids. He’s tough but fair, and I think kids will respond to his coaching style. “Sometimes it’s hard to get kids out for sports. Jeff is the kind of coach who will get kids out, and they’ll stay out.” There were 12 candidates for the position - two inhouse, including Bumsted, and 10 out-of-house. Bumsted, 52, came to Polo
in 1986, left in 1989 to teach in Iowa, then returned in 1996. He has worked at the varsity and fresh-soph levels under Wade Winekauf, then Alston, then Hofer - whatever each coach needed him to do. Under Hofer, he was the head fresh-soph coach for 4 seasons. Bumsted guided the f-s squad to a 9-0 mark in 2015. Much of the staff will return intact. Hank Grobe will once again be the offensive coordinator, while Bumsted will concentrate more on the defense. He does hope to hire a defensive coordinator, to allow himself to oversee everything. Returning staff members could fill that defensive role. There is also an opening as a
physical education teacher at Polo to replace head wrestling coach Justin Zigler, who is leaving for Sherrard. That person may fill a spot on the football staff. A meeting is planned for sometime next week with all returning players, to go over the summer schedule. He has already met informally with about three-fourths of the players.

Sports Column College sports is really more like a business By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Spending a few days last week in Salt Lake City, home of the University of Utah, got me thinking about how different high school and colleges athletics are. While I walked through across the campus one day, several graduation ceremonies were going on. Once classes are over and students are gone, a college can be a depressing place to be. I remember that same feeling each summer in DeKalb when I attended NIU. It seemed that all the vibrancy and life was gone.
College towns lack a sense of community because of the transitory nature of the university. Other than faculty and staff, no one really stays on. But, the arrival of incoming students in the fall will bring new life to college towns. For a number graduating high school seniors, going to college will be more than about academics. Some are taking their sports career to the next level. Within the last decade or so, there has even been the spectacle of high schoolers announcing what college they plan to take their athletic skills to. I never remember this being mentioned much when I was in school. I think it got started with big-time college recruitment of basketball players. Signing days became an event.
From that, it carried over to football and eventually to other sports. Nowadays, media mention of junior college signees to D-I recruits is all the rage. However, one’s experience in the college sporting world rarely surpasses the heady feeling of signing day. It’s like that feeling I had walking on Utah’s campus last week, with all the students leaving and all the excitement sucked out of the air. Over and over, I’ve had former high school grads mention to me that the fanfare is gone once they tried a sport in college. The camaraderie, community support and newspaper clippings are but memories of what made high school sports special. Playing sports in college is more like a business and no
longer are you a hometown hero. Never underestimate the value of being on a high school team in the town you grew up in, especially if you are the star player. It has a powerful presence upon you and something that isn’t fully appreciated until you get older or try to recapture that feeling at the intercollegiate level. Unless you are a bigtime football or basketball player, the crowds are less intense and no one cares as much about you as they did at your old high school. The one who cares most is your college coach. That care is not one of love and nurturing, but rather do you have sufficient athletic skill to help him or her win games. In college, it all comes down winning. In high school, there is more than that. There is
the store owner that praises you for the buzzer-beating basketball shot you made. There is the respect from athletes in neighboring towns you have played against and who you’ve become friends with. There is a pep rally and homecoming parade which out-passions anything in college. There are the teammates that have been with you since first grade. There is the excitement of regional or sectional competition. The list goes on and on, or as Kenny Chesney sings, “kings of the schools, weren’t we.” For all you graduating seniors - I’m not trying to downgrade your next four years trying a sport out in college. Rather, cherish the four
Andy Colbert
years of competing at the high school level and be prepared for an entirely different environment of athletics in college. It will take on a much different meaning to you. Maybe not better or worse – just different.

Steven G. Benesh Steven G. Benesh, 74, Oregon, moved on to the next project on Tuesday, May 3, 2016. As a young boy, Steve attended Catholic School in Oregon. He spent his summers farming and milking cows with his two bachelor uncles, Harm and Hank. They may account for his “rough around the edges” persona. Steve graduated from Oregon High School in 1959, moved out to the farm, and married Sue Gilbert. Steve then went to work for Oregon Construction; picking up sticks was his first duty. Throughout his 30s and 40s, he was known to: go into business alone, serve a term as Rockvale Township Road Commissioner, continue farming, and become partners with Leonard Bruns at Benesh & Bruns. In 1980, Steve, along with the help of his sons, started Steve Benesh & Sons. During his time as partner, his work portfolio included jobs as small as sidewalks and as big as the Byron Exelon Station. He was a union member for over 30 years. In the age of modern technology, Steve chose to carry all his records on 3x5 note cards tucked into his shirt pocket. He always knew it was in one pocket or another. His handshake meant a “sealed deal” and his word was gold. Steve enjoyed traveling to South Dakota and Minnesota to purchase cattle for the following calving season. His favorite pastime of all was going to auctions. He would load up the Kubota, pick up his best

auction buddy Denny Hardesty, and off they would go, many times returning with a tractor or two, a variety of antiques , and “barn art.” In his own way, Steve was a “historian” collecting history books and stories his whole life.

Walter G. Price Walter Glenn Price, 92, a long-time resident of Chicago, Hinsdale, Rockford, and Oregon, died on Monday, May 9, 2016 in Oregon of heart failure. Walt was born on Feb. 17, 1924, in Chicago, the son of the late Josiah Glenn Price and Florence Mable Winters. He spent his entire youth in the Windy City and was proud to call himself a Chicagoan. After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and graduation from Parker High School in 1942, he married his high school sweetheart, the former Marion H. Stitt, in November of 1942. He then enlisted in May of 1943 in the United States Army. He served in both the European and Pacific Theaters until he was honorably discharged in October 1945. Although he was assigned a variety of combat missions throughout the war, one assignment would directly impact his long-term future. After landing on Omaha Beach at Normandy, France on June 7, 1944, he helped construct many bridges to expedite General Patton’s Third Army’s rapid advances across Western Europe to defeat Nazi Germany. That experience convinced him that he wanted to become an engineer. Walt was then assigned

Jenny was born on Feb. 28, 1920, in Lustivere, Estonia, to Karl and Marta Rissmann. She married Osvald Laumets on Dec. 19, 1940 in Estonia. Osvald was conscripted into the Russian Army in 1941 and died shortly thereafter, a fact unknown to Jenny until after World War II had ended in 1945. In October of 1944, aided by the Germans when they lost their occupation of Estonia to Russia, Jenny, along with her mother and daughter, Kullike Laumets, escaped to Germany and lived in three displaced persons camps during and after the War.

Upon Japan’s surrender in 1945, Walt returned home to his wife in Chicago and they started their family. A daughter and three sons were raised in Hinsdale and Rockford. Influenced by Chicago’s fame for architecture and engineering and his bridge building experience during World War II, Walt pursued a career in both fields. He received a formal engineering education at the Illinois Institute of Technology and worked his way up from an entry level employee as a structural engineer at the Monadnock Building in Chicago to Chief Engineer, Martin Marietta Corporation, to founding his own company, W. G. Price and Associates in Rockford. After 41 years of marriage, Walter and Marion Price divorced in 1984. Marion Price subsequently died on July 17, 1993. On Oct. 25, 1987, Walt married June A. Fischer, the former June A. Rahn in Oregon, where they have happily lived ever since. Walt volunteered his services throughout his long life to a variety of worthy causes.

the Cub Scouts, donated his architectural talents to the redesigning of parts of his oldest son’s fraternity house, and the design and construction of the St. Paul Lutheran Youth Retreat in Oregon.
