Pine Creek News By Karen Merlak The unofficial end of summer is here and summer is reluctant to go. What a beautiful weekend with more than enough sunshine to go around. It was a wonderful day to enjoy the outdoors with friends and family. We thank God, our Creator, each and every day for His many blessings. This morning in church, we were greeted by Sandra Ford. Our organist, Jean Cunningham, chose an old hymn, “Work for the Night is Coming,” in honor of the Labor Day holiday. We are so appreciative of her many musical talents. On Friday evening, I attended the home football game against Durand. Both fresh/soph and varsity teams held commanding leads throughout the night. Clint got to take his turn on the field, while my nephew, Hayden Bittinger, did a great job with the pep band that played throughout the game. There were many friends and neighbors from Pine Creek cheering on our Marco team. On Saturday morning, Kent Nettz hosted the monthly men’s breakfast meeting at the church. In attendance were Ron Baker, Larry Riffle, Pastor Gregg Downs, John Engel, Dave Burright, Don Hay, Jim Hopkins, and even my son Clint. Kent must make an outstanding breakfast to get

my very tired teenage son out of bed at such an early hour. Not only does the group enjoy a delicious breakfast, they have wonderful time of fellowship. On Saturday night, we put together a small group to attend the movie, “War Room.” It was a wonderful movie about the power of prayer. Also attending the movie night from our church were Mike Hopkins and his daughter, Theresa. This past week I got a wonderful thank you text from Matt who finally received his birthday present. It is hard to judge what he can use at this time, but he seemed to be very happy with what we sent. We miss him every day and even more on the special celebration days. Stephanie will start her senior year at St. Catherine University this week. Hopefully, her work schedule slows down a little to accommodate class and homework time. I have to remind myself that she is young and has the energy to handle such a busy schedule. This week will be my last at my current job. I have been working as a bank teller for the last four and a half years. I have made some wonderful friendships and
have enjoyed the work and helping customers, but it is time for me to move on. At first, when I accepted the new job, I was rather nervous. It isn’t easy to leave the familiar to take a chance on the unknown. As the time gets closer for me to make the switch, excitement is taking over. I’m really looking forward to trying something new. It isn’t easy to undergo changes in this life. In the past few years, I’ve made it through several major changes, some were my choice and some were out of my control. In all of those situations, God was with me. Knowing that I could rely on Him to help me through the many changes in my life gave me the hope I needed to keep going. He is there for you, too. Changing jobs, changing residences, children leaving home, or deciding to follow Christ can be scary. When we turn our attention to God and rely on Him to be in control, we can face whatever is in front of us. We are not alone in this world. We have not been abandoned. God is with us, with all of us. I hope to see you next Sunday in our church or in one of area churches. Join us for a time of worship and praise. Our church family is

Open house for Reckmeyers Sept. 27 In honor of Warren Reckmeyer’s retirement as conductor of the Kable Concert Band, the Kable Band Board will host an open house for the Reckmeyers on Sunday, Sept. 27 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Mt. Morris Senior Center. Reckmeyer was conductor of the Kable Concert Band for 59 years. Through those years, he conducted the Kable Band in 10 concerts every summer,
plus concerts at the July 4 fireworks, and the band also participated in the July 4 parades. As band leader and music director at the Mt. Morris High School for 35 years, through Reckmeyer’s encouragement and instruction, many students went on to excel in the music field. Both Reckmeyer and his wife Carol not only contributed many years to the Kable Concert Band and
Mt. Morris High School, but were also an integral part of the community’s church music — both vocal and instrumental. They have shared their talent and love of music with the church, the school, and the whole community. At the Open House, a plaque will be awarded to Reckmeyer, naming the downtown band shell, the Warren G. Reckmeyer Band Shell.
The plaque will then be affixed to the band shell. Reckmeyer officially handed over the baton on July 29 to Andy Ekardt, who will continue to conduct the Kable Concert Band. All former students, band members, and community who have enjoyed summer night Kable Band Concerts are invited to come and share an afternoon of appreciation and reminiscing with the Reckmeyers.

Work through your grief at Serenity Shed When life is turned upside down by a loss, it’s time to start building a new normal. Everyone’s grief is unique and different people mourn in different ways. Some people do well working on projects while talking about the loss, while others do well building, working with their hands, or creating something beautiful and artistic. Anyone who has experienced a recent loss
or it has been a few years is invited to join in at the Serenity Shed in downtown Oregon (131 N. Third St. in the Data Spectrum building) on Mondays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Tuesdays from 6 to 8 p.m. The groups are going to work on small projects that benefit Serenity Hospice and Home while getting to know each other. “The Shed is that allpurpose center where you
can nourish your soul, have a cup of coffee and be creative,” said Lynn Knodle, executive director of Serenity Hospice and Home. “We are so excited about the positive reaction we are receiving from the community and we hope that anyone who would like to donate their time or who have experienced a recent or past loss will stop by and see just what the Shed is all about.” The Shed is also open
Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. They are also open on the first Monday and the third Thursday of each month from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. These groups are open to anyone dealing with the loss, recently or a while ago.

medicine, vitamins, cough syrup, supplements, and pet medications are accepted. Residents should remove pills from bottles and place them in a zip plastic bag. Pill bottles can be recycled through residential recycling programs. Remember to remove prescription labels or black out any personal information. Items which are not accepted include hypodermic needles (sharps), thermometers, hydrogen peroxide, aerosol cans, inhalers, and medicines from business or clinics. Drug Take-Back Day has two main initiatives. One is to eliminate water contamination. Disposal of waste medications down the drain or toilet is undesirable because septic systems and facilities that treat wastewater may not be able to remove pollutants. Disposal of medications in a landfill is also undesirable because chemicals can end up in the landfill leachate (water that comes into contact with the trash). Pollution of treated wastewater can contaminate groundwater and surface water and can have adverse effects on fish and other aquatic life. It can also cause unintentional human exposure to chemicals from medications. The other initiative is to prevent abuse of medications. Woodstock
Often the easiest drugs to access are already in our homes. The presumed safety of prescription and OTC drugs can often lead to devastating impacts as these substances are dangerous or deadly when misused. With drug overdose being the leading cause of accidental death and with alarming rates of prescription/OTC drug abuse, it is important to lock up or safely dispose of unneeded medications. While the DEA TakeBack is a one day event, residents are able to safely dispose of medications year-round during business hours at the following police departments: Byron, Forreston, Mt. Morris, Oregon, Polo, Rochelle, and the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department. Contact local law enforcement agencies for more details.

Lifelong Leaf River area resident Clifford Craven has been named to the Illinois 4-H Hall of Fame. Craven has always had a strong presence in the Ogle County 4-H program. He was a leader for the Leaf River Busy Beavers for 35 years, has been a member on the Expansion and Review Committee from the beginning, has served on the Extension Council, has been a Swine Fair Committee member, the assistant superintendent for the Junior Fair, along with having other responsibilities. Most importantly, he was always willing to volunteer whenever extra help was needed. The Illinois 4-H Foundation annually recognizes one 4-H volunteer per county for exemplary service to the Illinois 4-H program as a Hall of Fame winner. Craven is the Ogle County
winner of the honor. This year, more than 800 supporters watched the induction of 70 new members into the Illinois 4-H Hall of Fame, the largest inductee class to date. This year celebrated the 11-year anniversary of the award, said Angie Barnard, director of the Illinois 4-H Foundation. The ceremony was held Aug. 15 on the Director of Agriculture’s lawn on the Illinois State Fairgrounds.
staples like the ever-popular Farmers’ Market and Craft Show, held Saturday and Sunday, and Harvest Time Parade, held on Sunday, should not disappoint.

Ag Director Phil Nelson is a 4-H supporter and was last year’s Illinois 4-H Foundation Alumni Award winner. “These long-time volunteers fully embody what 4-H strives to instill in youth,” Barnard said. “They are caring, dedicated, generous leaders, and the Illinois 4-H Foundation is extremely proud to be able to provide this honor to each and every one of them to thank them for their service to this wonderful organization.” The Illinois 4-H Foundation established the statewide Hall of Fame in 2004 to honor and celebrate extraordinary 4-H alumni, volunteers, and former 4-H staff. Nominations for the Illinois 4-H Hall of Fame are made by University of Illinois Extension staff. Each inductee received a commemorative Hall of Fame medallion.

The contest will run from 9 a.m. to approximately 1 p.m. on Saturday. There will be four-age groups: 5-7 years; 8-10; 11-13; and 14-adult.

DLR Student earns paid trip to Uganda An eighth grader at DLR Rahn Junior High will be taking a trip to Uganda next summer. Eli Rufer won an all expenses paid trip because of his efforts in a shoe drive last year. A community service project for DLR Junior High School was headed up by Carrie O’Neil’s seventh grade homeroom students during the 20142015 school year. The project was to collect used shoes for a charity named “Stuff for the Poor.” All money raised by the charity goes to sending orphan children in Africa to school. Initially the students had a goal to collect 100 pairs of shoes by the end of the drive. Through advertising and lots of generosity 250 pairs of shoes were donated to the founder of the charity, Providence Rubingisa, on May 15. At the time of the donation
Rubingisa explained that he wanted one of O’Neil’s students to go on an all-expenses paid trip to Uganda, Africa during the summer of 2016. Each student interested in going on the trip had to create a project that expressed their interest in going on the trip. In the end, the best project and presentation was selected for this once in a life-time opportunity. Rufer was selected Aug. 26. He created a tri-fold board that was a comic strip and took his audience through situations and events where he didn’t want to wear shoes. In the end he realized how important shoes were so he held a shoe drive for those who are less fortunate. The school will continue collecting shoes this year from now until the end of March.

Reading Matters Reading starts with young kids By Mary Gardner Reading Specialist The beginning of a new school year brings eager young students ready to learn. As parents and grandparents we certainly have a role in supporting our children and grandchildren in school. For this month we’ll look at some of the kinds of reading and writing activities in which our preschoolers and kindergarteners will be participating. Future columns will address other grade levels. Children’s names are very important to them. It is often the first word they learn to write and read. In both preschool and kindergarten names will be used in many ways. Children
might be asked to choose their names from a group of name tags. Their names will be used to label areas in the classroom and hallway such as mailboxes or cubbies and the places they will hang their coats. Children will be taught from the beginning that names begin with a capital letter and the rest of the letters are lower case. This is a good way to introduce that each letter of the alphabet has two forms, one we call capital or upper case and the other is called lower case. This is also why it is very helpful if we write our children’s names that way at home, too so they are used to seeing the correct form. Learning both forms of all 26 letters of the alphabet is a challenge, but many children begin the task by learning the letters in their own names. Preschoolers’ and
kindergarteners’ days are filled with songs, games, and activities that teach the letters of the alphabet. Children also learn early about the sounds that each letter represents. This can be confusing because of the letters that represent more than one sound. If you are not sure about the correct sounds for all of the letters of the alphabet be sure to check with your child’s teacher. As they learn the names and sounds, these age groups will also be learning the correct way to write the letters. For some children, the small muscle control necessary for writing can be difficult. Again, if you have questions or concerns about your child’s writing form be sure to check with the teacher. Another foundation of early learning is learning
how print works. Teachers do activities with books and writing to help children learn these concepts about print. Many children come to school already knowing that we read left to right, top to bottom, and at the end of a line we go to the left-side of the next line to continue. They learn this from time spent with books and with someone reading to them. Most preschool teachers will emphasize these concepts
every time they read to and with students. Kindergarten teachers will review and reinforce these ideas, making sure that all children understand the way print works. Besides working on learning to read and write their names, these age groups will begin to learn some high-frequency words by heart. In kindergarten there will be a list of high-frequency,
or sight words, sent home for parents and grandparents and caregivers to practice with their children. Next month’s column will be devoted to explaining the importance of learning sight words and will give several ideas for ways to practice them at home. Enjoy and support all of these beginning steps in your child’s journey to becoming a reader.

We Remember Those We Lost
9.11.01 Honoring Those Impacted By September 11 September 11, 2001, is a day permanently etched in history. 9-11 carries profound meaning for many people and stands in infamy along with events like Pearl Harbor and the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. The attacks on 9-11 resulted in a total of 2,996 fatalities. Among those were the victims on the four planes, civilians working in the towers and on the ground, military personnel and civilians in the Pentagon, and first-responders to the scenes. It is believed that at least 200 people in the World Trade Center fell or jumped to their deaths from the burning towers because rescue was improbable at or above points of impact on the towers. Along with the World Trade Center primary towers, many other buildings in the area were destroyed or bad-
ly damaged from the attack. Many buildings were condemned. The Pentagon suffered serious damage as well. Thousands of first responders and civilians entered the affected buildings to search for or help people exit the carnage. As of 2010, it is believed that more than 800 of these responders have also died, some say from illnesses related to their heroic efforts. While the world is quick to focus on the extensive damage and loss of life that ensued as a result of this terrible day, it also is important to focus on the survivors and those who risked their own lives to save people from burning and collapsing buildings. There are a number of ways to honor the legacy of these brave people. * Establish a memorial at your home, in a neighborhood park or at a place of worship.
While many memorials exist, there is certainly room for more memorials devoted to the heroes of September 11. * Host a family get-together on or around September 11. Celebrate the life of those people who were lost on that day and focus on the positive memories. * Initiate a scholarship fund in memory of a lost relative or friend. Many businesses or even the place of employment of the deceased may be willing to contribute money to the effort. This way the individual's name will live on and be associated with something positive for years to come. * Volunteer time at a firehouse in the area or with an EMT unit. Volunteer EMTs and fire fighters are in short supply. Becoming a part of one of these units enables people to help others. * Survivors can share
their stories with school children or others, imparting knowledge about the events as they unfolded. This is a strong lesson in American history and bravery. * Make a donation to a charity that offers financial support to those impacted by the events of 9-11. Be sure to check out the charity to ensure that funds are appropriated properly. * Plan a visit to downtown New York City to see the progress that has been made in rebuilding the area, and visit the memorial that has opened to honor those who lost their lives. While September 11, 2001, will live in infamy as a traumatic and horrific moment in American history, people can focus on the positive aspect of the heroes and find ways to honor their memories.
14 Years Later… WE REMEMBER SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
Home of the Brave
Over a decade has passed since the terrorist attacks of September 11 shocked our nation and the world, forever changing so many lives and the course of history. We will never forget!
SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 in memory of all those who were taken from us on that terrible day.
It shows amazing courage to run headfirst into a life-threatening situation when common sense says otherwise. Yet on 9-11 that’s exactly what hundreds of brave officers and firefighters did. They held true to their duty to protect and rescue their fellow citizens, and many heroically sacrificed their lives in the process. To police officers and firefighters everywhere, you have our eternal gratitude.

We Remember Those We Lost
9.11.01 The National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial Pentagon Memorial The 184 souls lost in the terrorist attack at the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, when hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon, were mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, children, brothers, sisters, coworkers, flight crew, friends, patriots. The Pentagon Memorial captures that moment in time at 9:37 a.m. when 184 lives became intertwined for eternity. Each victim’s age and location at the time of the attack have been permanently inscribed into the Memorial by the unique placement and direction of each of the 184 Memorial Units. Elegant and simple, the Pentagon Memorial serves as a timeline of the victims’ ages, spanning from the youngest victim, three-year-old Dana Falkenberg, who was on board American Airlines Flight 77, to the oldest, John D. Yamnicky, 71, a Navy veteran, also aboard Flight 77 that morning. The Pentagon Memorial Gateway The 184 Memorial Units within the Pentagon Memorial are
located on the age line according to the year the victim was born. The age lines, denoted by stainless steel strips that cross the Memorial, begin at the zero line, which spans from the Gateway to the entrance of the Memorial. Etched into the granite zero line is the date and time of the attack: “SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 9:37 A.M.” Visitors to the Memorial may look up a victim’s name and birth year on the locator stone within the Pentagon Memorial Gateway. On age lines with multiple victims, the Memorial Units are organized by birth date along that line. The Memorial Units Each Memorial Unit is a cantilevered bench, a lighted pool of flowing water, and a permanent tribute, by name, to each victim, in one single element. Each memorial bench is made of stainless steel and inlaid with smooth granite. Each Memorial Unit contains a pool of water, reflecting light in the evenings onto the bench and surrounding gravel field. Each Memorial Unit is also specifically positioned in the
Memorial to distinguish victims who were in the Pentagon from those who were on board American Airlines Flight 77. At the 125 Memorial Units honoring the victims of the Pentagon, visitors see the victim’s name and the Pentagon in the same view. At the Memorial Units honoring the 59 lives lost on Flight 77, the visitor sees the victim’s name and the direction of the plane’s approach in the same view. Victims from the same family are linked by a plaque at the end of the pool of water, which lists their family members who also died in the attack, forever binding the family together.
The Pentagon Memorial Landscape Within the Pentagon Memorial, 85 Crape Myrtle trees are clustered around the Memorial Units, but are not dedicated to any one victim. These trees will grow up to 30 feet to provide a canopy of shade over the Memorial for years to come. The Memorial’s stabilized gravel surface is bordered on the western edge by an Age Wall. The Age Wall grows one inch per year in height above the perimeter bench relative to the age lines. As visitors move through the
Memorial, the wall gets higher, growing from three inches (the age of Dana Falkenberg) to 71 inches (the age of John D. Yamnicky). The Age Wall draws the eye to the Memorial for drivers passing by on Washington Boulevard and the adjacent Arlington County Bike Path, while ensuring solitude for visitors. Ornamental grasses mark the boundaries of the Memorial. The Pentagon Memorial design was developed by Julie Beckman and Keith Kaseman. Their vision for the Memorial
was selected from more than 1,100 submissions by a panel of architects, family members, and public figures in the Washington, D.C., area, including two former Secretaries of Defense. The Pentagon Memorial is the first national memorial dedicated to the horrific events that unfolded on Sept. 11, 2001 – events that claimed 184 lives at the Pentagon, and thousands more around the United States. The Pentagon Memorial is also dedicated to future generations that they might reflect upon and renew their faith in shared American values.
A Tribute to Our Heroes On this day and every day, let’s not forget the important role emergency rescue personnel play in helping and protecting our communities. Their courage and strength make us proud to be Americans.

Oregon Hawks come close to knocking off Tigers By Andy Colbert Reporter The Oregon boys golf team came close, not just once, but twice last week in knocking off chief rival Byron. In a highly anticipated match in a near 100-degree heat index Sept. 3, Byron nipped the Hawks 168-169. Then, at the Lena-Winslow Invitational on Sept. 5, Oregon finished second to Byron, 485 to 495 to finish second. Mitchell Nehrkorn, who shot a two-under par against North Boone that same week, led the Hawks with a 40 in the Byron dual. Carson Buck had a 75 to take third overall and pace Oregon at the LeWin meet. “Going against Byron is probably the match of the year for us,” said Nehrkorn, who rebounded from on out-of-bounds tee shot on
hole No. 1. “On Thursday, neither team played up to their capability with the heat. It was taxing walking nine holes.” Teammate Matt Myers also chipped in with a 40 and Tyler Black added a 42. Buck struggled in Thursday’s match, but lit up the Wolf Hollow course in Lena. His 75 was only two strokes off medalist honors of 73 by Matt Tamar of Rockford Lutheran. “I played almost every day this summer,” Buck said. My putting is my strong suit. Right now, I’m focusing on hitting good shots off the tee. If I can do that, I should be okay with my shots to the green.” It was Nehrkorn, Myers and Black all in the 80 to Oregon’s Carson Buck hits out of the second hole sand trap at Silver Ridge Sept. 3 during the teams match against 82-stroke range for very Byron.

Hawk runners test the waters at Oregon Open By Andy Colbert Reporter In perhaps the largest cross country meet ever at Oregon, local runners got a chance to see how they stacked up some of the better teams in northern Illinois. With 354 high school and 271 junior high competitors, Park West was the place to be on Saturday morning. That total of 625 is unofficially the highest amount of
participants to run at Oregon. In the varsity boys race, it was three familiar faces battling each other for first place.

Oregon wins 25-7 at home By Andy Colbert Reporter Football coaches forever stress the importance of hard work and physical training in becoming a better player. In leading Oregon to a 25-7 win over North Boone on Sept. 4, John Ghibellini proved to be Exhibit A of this. Ghibellini, one of several two-way Hawk starters, had 193 yards rushing on 30 carries, as Oregon completely dominated time of possession and line play. “He’s completely transformed himself in mind and body,” Oregon coach John Bothe said. “The change since his freshman year is tremendous and due to all his hard work.” Bothe was especially happy to get the BNC crossover win after losing 36-20 to North Boone last year in a mild upset. “They shredded us last year with the option and the pass,” Bothe said. “To do what we did tonight after they brought back most of their starters is a testament to how well we played on defense.” In the first half, Oregon limited the Vikings to four minutes of possession and two first downs.
The Hawks also had one first half interception and forced two fumbles, the second a vicious hit by Jacob Cox and Terry Page, forcing NB quarterback Ryan Davis to the bench. “We fired off the ball a lot harder,” said lineman Kole Mowry, who had seven tackles and two for losses. “It was grind-em-down Hawk football.” If there was a disappointment for Oregon,
it was only leading 12-0 at half on Ghibellini and Brayton Finch touchdown runs. Three times in that half, Oregon had first downs inside North Boone’s 30yard line, but came up empty. “We were lucky,” NB coach Aaron Sullivan said. “It could have been 30-0 at half. We were kicking ourselves on offense, but they out-blocked and outtackled us the whole time.” A solo tackle for a loss by
Cox and a pass break-up by Jerrick Orsted stopped NB’s opening drive of the third quarter, after the Vikings drove to the Hawk 17-yard line for their main scoring threat of the game. Oregon upped its lead to 18-0 on a third-quarter Finch (94 yards) score and put the game away for good in the fourth quarter on a 98-yard drive in which Orsted and Turn to B2

Solid finishes for OHS runners From B2 out-kicked the Rocket pair for a 15:58 to 16:12 win over Hamlin, with Williams third in 16:37. Oregon’s best finish was an 18:48 by sophomore Ian Hussung, good for 39th out of 111 runners. Jordan Wilkins took 58th at 19:28, Zack Hawkins 74th at 20:19

finishing within 11 places of each other. Isabelle Bergstrom rounded out the Lady Hawk scoring with a 31:11. No team scores were kept in this meet, as it served as an early-season barometer for teams and a chance to get experience at the 1A sectional site.
Cullen, Rhea on all-tourney team From B1 in two games 25-20, 25-16. The all-tournament team was announced at the end of the event. Eastland’s MaKenzie Fink and MacKenzie Doubler were named to the team along with Oregon’s Breanna Cullen and Sommer Rhea and Pearl City’s Tori Clark. The Forreston Lady Cardinals also competed in the tournament and finished in 10th place.
They opened the tournament with a win over Stillman Valley 25-15, 1518. Forreston then lost to Erie in two close games 2523, 25-21. In the first match against her former school, new Forreston coach Shannon Williams and the Lady Cardinals went three games against Dakota. Forreston was defeated in three games 25-13, 11-25, 9-15.
In the final rounds Forreston defeated East Peoria 14-25, 25-20, 9-15. The Lady Cardinals lost to Pearl City in the final match in two games 25-22, 25-20. Before Stillman’s second match of the tournament, the Stillman team learned of the traffic accident that killed a Stillman Valley cheerleader and another man Friday night. The volleyball team forfeited the remainder of the tournament.
Scheidecker was a medalist From B1 last week for the Hawk gold program was Abi Scheidecker shooting a 42 at Silver Ridge on Thursday against the Byron girls. That score tied here with Kaley
Mumford of the Lady Tigers for medalist honors. Considering the heat and how tough of a course Silver Ridge is compared to many other sites in the area, the 42 By Scheidecker was one of
the best efforts in a girls meet so far by an area golfer. Byron won the match 184-210. Abby Martin had a 50, Ali Scheidecker 57 and Haley Repass a 61 for Oregon.

Humphrey was in a similar state after a 5-3 win over Dixon at Oregon Park West on Sept. 3 in Big Northern West play. The cause of his pain comes from what he does during matches. Humphrey bends backward like a cartoon character on throw-ins from the sideline, and lets fly a ball that looks like it was shot out of a giant slingshot. “Very rarely do you see something like that,” Dixon coach Josh Brigl said. “It’s difficult to defend.” With the score tied 3-3, Humphrey tossed the ball across the field and found a sprinting Jarrett Reynolds, who headed the ball into the net past Dukes goalkeeper Evan Munson to take the lead with 9:37 to play. The goal was the second of the match for Reynolds, who scored the tying goal 8 minutes earlier on a blast from 30 yards out.
Oregon (6-3, 3-0 BNC West) runs its offense through Humphrey’s throwing abilities. With the distance he has on his throws, it’s essentially another corner kick opportunity. The team works on set plays in practice, and crashes the net in games, just as the Hawks did against Dixon. “I use my body like a whip,” said Humphrey, a junior. “It seems like every year, even every game, it’s growing. I can throw farther and farther.” Humphrey has six assists this season in nine games on his throw-ins. Reynolds, who has 11 goals this season, is normally the recipient. Reynolds practices meeting the ball at its highest point, soaring over the top of defenders. “It’s pretty amazing,” Reynolds said. “Whenever we’re near the sidelines, we’ll try to kick it off a defender so Kaden can throw it to us. We catch so many teams by surprise because no one has seen anything like it.” Dixon (1-3-1, 0-2) switched keepers at halftime to combat this. Brigl moved Munson into the net to take advantage of his good hands. Munson, who made eight saves in the loss,
spent the first half watching fellow keeper Nick LeSage handle the plays. So Munson was aware of what he was getting into when he took the field for the final 40 minutes. He was effective, often catching the ball like a receiver in football grabbing a pass, eliminating tries from the crashing Hawks forwards. The Dukes scored the first goal of the match when Bryson Forrest beat his defender down the sideline and found Remington LeRette, who scored on a wide open net from the other side. An own goal by Oregon gave Dixon a 2-0 lead at halftime, before the Hawks poured it on in the second half. Trey Wilson scored 4 minutes into the second half, and Isidoro Marcos scored 4 minutes later to knot the score at 2-2. Dixon answered when Michael Gale finished a feed from Ander Duenas to take a 3-2 lead, but that was all the Dukes could muster. Reynolds scored twice, and Marcos added his second goal to push the score to 5-3. “We came out in the second half pushing the pace,” Oregon coach Justyn Laxner said. “That’s how we want to play – fast.”
Hawks will face Rockets From B1 Ghibellini had runs of 30plus yards. Maverik Good capped it off with a 4-yard touchdown run and 25-0 Hawk lead. “The important thing is that we were physical,” Bothe said. Oregon travels to Rock Falls on Friday to take on the winless Rockets in the opening game of BNC action. Oregon hopes to move to 2-1 before hosting Dixon the following week. “Last week’s loss (53-20 to Johnsburg) was definitely tough,” Ghibellini said. “The coaches had the throttle down on us in practiced. We executed a lot better.”

Sports Column Plenty to write about this week By Andy Colbert Reporter So much to write about, so little space. Big, big win for Forreston over Galena, the No. 1 team in 1A football. Who saw this coming? I didn’t, especially after seeing Galena giving Forreston all they could handle in the 2014 state
semifinals and bringing most of those players back, while the Cardinals lost the bulk of their squad. In pre-season comments, Denny Diduch said his team would go into every game expecting to win. Apparently, that wasn’t idle coach-speak. He meant it and the footballers aren’t backing down from anyone either. This will be another big one this week for Forreston against Dakota in the ubercompetitive Northwest
division of the NUIC. After years of debate over where the best small school football in played in Illinois, the rest of the state has finally come to terms with the NUIC being the absolute best 1A league. On the Upstate side, it will be Polo traveling to Stockton for the conference title. The Marcos should continue its high-flying ways against Stockton on its way to an unbeaten regular season. Polo needs to be tested

up for the following week against Dixon. That would be a huge boost, not just in having a three-year starter on hand, but in much-needed depth against the 40-man Duke roster. After observing various Oregon athletes work out over the years, whether at Nash Rec Center or around the high school, John Ghibellini is one guy that sticks out to me. He’s been at it as diligently as any other person. It is definitely paying off this year on the gridiron and will continue into wrestling and discus throwing. Every school needs more hard workers like John. As I left the big Oregon cross country meet on Saturday, I thought about the impact the Oregon Park District has made on hosting high school sporting events. No only were 625 competitors involved in the meet at Park West, but afterwards, many of the junior high runners were frolicking in the popular Splash Canyon water park on site, as a means of cooling off. Coaches from other schools have commented how much Park West reminds them of real cross-
Andy Colbert
country course, because of its layout. Just as the meet was winding down, several high school soccer teams began to arrive to play on the many fields available for a tournament that afternoon. While all this was going, at the park district’s Blackhawk Center, adjoining the school, a huge volleyball tournament was going on. It wasn’t for the foresight of the local citizens and planning by the park district a few short decades ago, none of this would have been possible. On top of all this is an economic boost via youth sports tourism, a by-product that planners may never envisioned.

and this might the only game all year that happens. Unlike Forreston, defending state champ EPC is a shell of themselves and won’t present a much of a challenge to the Marcos, nor will the remaining teams on the schedule. Though I would love to be at Forreston for the Dakota clash, it’s off to watch my first-ever game at Stockton. Looking forward to that, along with viewing the type of speed rarely seen in 1A, as the explosive Marcos take the field. In an interesting attempt to invigorate its football program, Rock Falls (37160 since 1993) brought in six former head coaches. This esteemed group is doing all they can to pass it on to the Rocket players, but it’s hasn’t caught on yet. After a 50-8 loss to Marengo, a very telling quote from one the players indicated that some players don’t want to come to practice nor pay attention to what the coaches have to share. After putting a physical beating on a decent North Boone team, Oregon should go to 2-1, as they travel to Rock Falls. Hopefully, lineman Matt Crandall will be able to return to the line-

Woman and girl bitten by dog in Oregon on Sept. 5 By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com An Oregon woman and her 8-year-old neighbor suffered bites Sept. 5 when they were attacked by a neighborhood dog. Oregon Police Chief Darin DeHaan said Kathleen Wilson, 64, 508 S. Fourth St., was attacked by the shepherd mix, and Gabriella Fuentes, 8, was bitten when she and her mother Megan came to Wilson’s rescue. The dog, named Tank, belongs to Anthony and April Breeden, who live nearby, DeHaan said. Wilson was transported by Oregon ambulance to OSF St. Anthony Medical Center, Rockford, where she got stitches to close several bite wounds. “I’m not badly hurt, but I’m pretty shaken up,” she said Tuesday.
Wilson said she had been out in her yard Saturday evening and as she walked back toward her house, the dog got out under the fence he was inside, ran up, and bit her in the back of the leg. She fell down on the sidewalk, and when she tried to protect herself she was bitten several times on the arm and hands. “I was yelling for help the whole time,” she said. Megan and Gabriella heard her cries for help and went to assist, Wilson said. The dog then bit Gabriella on the arm, DeHaan said. Megan scared the dog away by shouting at it, Wilson said. Wilson said the dog’s owners came outside and called the dog. Besides the bites, Wilson said she is bruised and sore from the fall. DeHaan said the dog was taken to Pines Meadow Veterinary Clinic for
quarantine, and he and Ogle County Animal Control officials are reviewing the case. He said he is unaware of any other incidents involving the dog. City ordinances stipulate that a dog, under certain circumstances, may be declared dangerous or vicious. If it’s declared vicious it can be designated (subject to euthanasia). If it is not designated to be euthanized, the owner is required to take several steps to assure the dog does not have access to the public. The steps include but are not limited to keeping it in a secured enclosure, keeping it on a leash and muzzle if it is outside, posting the owner’s property with a warning sign that a vicious dog lives there, notifying utility companies as well as the U.S. Post Office, and providing $250,000 in liability insurance coverage.
