Kennel vote postponed By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The decision to allow a DeKalb County dog breeder to expand her kennel into Ogle County has been delayed for a month. The Ogle County Planning & Zoning Committee postponed making a decision Tuesday morning until members have the chance to read the transcripts from the April 27 Zoning Board of Appeals hearing on a special use request from Christie Hardt, owner of B&C Kennel, Clare, and her husband Robert DeCosta. That means the final decision cannot come from the county board until at least its June 20 meeting. Hardt and DeCosta have requested the special use permit to operate a commercial dog kennel on property they own at 14189 E. Dutch Rd., northeast of Kings. The site is zoned for agricultural use, and the request asks for a special use permit to allow dog breeding, import and sale of puppies, dog grooming, and dog obedience training at the kennel.

Zoning Administrator Mike Reibel told the Planning & Zoning Committee that the transcript from the five and one-half hours long ZBA hearing is not yet completed and will not be available until the end of the week. He estimated that the transcript will be 200 pages long. Committee member Lyle Hopkins then made a motion to postpone making a recommendation on the matter until the transcript is available. However, committee member Tom Smith, Kings, objected. “We don’t review the transcripts on anything else,” he said. Smith is also the supervisor of White Rock Township, whose board voted against the special use request. Committee member Wayne Reising, Oregon, disagreed with Smith. “I read the transcripts before we meet,” he said. “Ordinarily we get them a week ahead of time. “I would like to read the transcript before we vote on this.” Rick Fritz, Monroe Center, also a committee member, said he, too, reads the Turn to A3

Student heads mural project By Zach Arbogast zarbogast@oglecounty news.com The Oregon Public Library’s children section will be adorned with a mural designed by an Oregon High School sophomore and painted by several students. Starting in late 2015, the public library underwent a $400,000 renovation to make it more handicappedaccessible, solve some space issues, and move the children’s section into the basement. The transition was finished early this year, and the new children’s section is now getting a piece of art completed by the community, spearheaded by an OHS sophomore in the Open Program. Bailey Nelson, 16, designed the mural. Titled “The Tree of Knowledge,” the piece depicts an open book sprouting a giant red tree. Within the tree are happy people enjoying activities like reading, singing, dancing, painting, and enjoying nature. “I wanted the mural to be a message to kids what reading can do for their lives,” said Nelson.

Beginning in early February, the mural was painted on a pair of four foot by eight foot panels, and Nelson had more than just her hands on this piece; Oregon Elementary School students helped as well. OES Art Teacher Jordan DeWilde allowed Nelson to use his classroom on Tuesday afternoons. During recess, around 15 of DeWilde’s art students in grades 4-6 would come in and help her paint the mural. “Working with the kids was an eye-opening experience, and I could not have asked for more,” said Nelson. “I also really appreciate how supportive Mr. DeWilde was; he helped me a lot.” However, DeWilde offers a different perspective, saying his role was minimal, and no credit should go to him. “I think Bailey’s message is a positive one for the community,” he said. “She created a wonderful experience for these students and a beautiful mural that others will enjoy for years to come.” Nonetheless, Nelson

Work progresses on campus fountain Ground was broken and the initial phase of the Price Campus Fountain reconstruction began last week on the southeast corner of the downtown campus. Crews from Bennett Construction Company, Pecatonica, excavated the hole for the fountain, placed the forms, and poured the concrete to start the actual fountain construction. The project had been on hold for several weeks due to prolonged spring rains. Work was done previously to bring water from the main near the community gymnasium to the campus band shell. Later work will extend electricity and water from the band shell to supply the fountain. The next phases of construction

The project is also supported by sales of bronze Fountain Nymph statues like the one which will top the bronze fountain, or bronze maquettes (small statues) of the Mounder ram near the village hall. Both statues were designed and molded by sculptor David Seagraves, Elizabeth, and cast by Adams. For more information about the statues and contributions to the fountain fund, go to the moundertown. com or mtmorrisil.net websites, call 815-734-4997 or 815-734-6689, or contact the village clerk. “The Mt.

Marching for PTSD awareness By Zach Arbogast zarbogast@oglecounty news.com

An Oregon High School sophomore marched around the city Saturday morning in honor and recognition of veterans who battle Post Traumatic Stress Disorder every day. In January, Conner Young pledged his support to Mission 22, an organization that raises funds and awareness to help get veterans treatment for PTSD before they become part of a grim statistic. The statistic, taken from the Department of Veterans Affairs 2012 suicide data report, says 22 veterans commit suicide every day due to struggle with PTSD. Emboldened by the information, Young dedicated his Open Program project to Mission 22, resolving to raise at least $3,000 for the group and walk 22 miles around Oregon - one mile for each veteran who takes their own life daily. Turn to A2 The morning of May 6,

is the molding, bronze casting, and securing of the fountain pedestal into the new concrete base. Jeff Adams of inBronze, Mt. Morris, will do that. This will be followed by the design, construction, and placement of the component fountain parts and spray ring by a crew from Natural Water Gardens, Freeport. Project completion includes the extension of water and electricity to the fountain by Plum Electric, Mt. Morris. Funding is needed to support continued progress. Donate or send checks to honor loved ones, friends, and classes to the Village of Mt. Morris Fountain Fund, 105 W. Lincoln St., Mt. Morris, IL 61054 or bring donations directly to the Mt. Morris Village Clerk at that

Young made good on his goal: he raised $3,700 to date, and completed his 22mile march in six hours, 45 minutes. “We still have people donating in the upcoming days, even after the walk,” said Young. How was Young feeling as he lined up at the Fallen Soldiers Memorial on the lawn of the old courthouse?

“I’m cold,” he said jokingly as his mother, Delene, helped him attach his Mission 22: Join the Mission to End Veteran Suicide across his shoulders. It was a chilly 43 degrees at Young’s start time and rain had rumbled in not even an hour beforehand. However, it remained a beautiful, sunny Saturday as Young walked on city

streets, accompanied at times with other people supporting his effort. Those interested in still donating to the cause can do so through Young’s fundraising page: mission22. networkforgood.com/ projects (search for Conner Young), or by bringing donations to the Oregon High School’s main office.

Stronghold to host World War II re-enactment Event slated for May 20-21 By Earleen Hinton ehinton@oglecounty news.com World War II is coming to an Oregon landmark next week. The Stronghold Camp and Retreat Center in conjunction with the World War Two Historical Reenacting Society is hosting an Armed Forces Weekend Commemoration and WWII Battle Reenactment at Stronghold, north of Oregon, on Saturday and Sunday, May 20-21. “Basically we will be having World War II reenact ors in World War II-type encampments along with vehicles from that era on display,” said Rich Russo, a member of the society’s event development team. “We try to make everything look as historically realistic as possible.” The event will include uniform and weapon demonstrations with reenactors portraying troops from Germany, Poland, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and, of course, the United

States. “We plan on having a German Red Cross Field Hospital and a European Cafe that will be open to the public,” Russo said. A USO show is also being planned along with flyovers by vintage aircraft. Battle reenactments will be held on Saturday and Sunday on the grounds with a special battle in the courtyard near the castle. “One of the strangest battles of World War II was the Battle of Itter Castle where Americans and Germans fought together against the SS to protect the prisoners being held in the castle,” Russo said. Russo said the Stronghold site, along with its iconic castle, will provide the perfect site for the event. “We will also be having a veterans hospitality tent for all us veterans,” Russo said. “The local VFW Post 8739 will be providing the honor guard for the flag raising ceremony as well as hosting the beer tent as a fundraiser for their organization. There will also be food and military vendors on site.” Admission to attend is $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 6-12. Children under the

age of 6 will be admitted for free. On Saturday, May 13 reenactors will be setting up static displays from different eras on the Ogle County Courthouse Lawn in honor of Armed Forces Week. “People can go around and visit with those re-eneactors,” said Danny Pierce, executive director at Stronghold.

About the Society (from www.worldwartwohrs.org) World War Two Historical Re-enactment Society is an organization of more than 1,200 men and women members from coast to coast, as well as Canada and Europe. Our mission is to bring the history of World War Two to life with public displays, simulated battles, participation in parades, and a variety of other community activities. The society strives to honor and preserve the memory of those who served in World War Two, as well as preserve the artifacts of that period. Our members carry out a wide range of historical impressions, including those of The United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, Poland, and Germany. Our focus is entirely on the military history of World War Two. We have no sympathy for the ideology of nazism or fascism. Such beliefs are not welcome here.

John Rung is named CEO of Shaw Media By Brett Rowland Shaw Media browland@shawmedia.com A familiar face is ascending the ladder at Shaw Media. John Rung will take the reins of Sauk Valley Mediaâ€™s parent company, which publishes close to 100 print and digital publications in Illinois and Iowa. He replaces Thomas D. â€œTomâ€? Shaw, 69, Dixon, who announced last month that he would be retiring in May. Shaw will remain on the companyâ€™s board. The Shaw Media Board of Directors named Rung CEO on Thursday at the companyâ€™s annual meeting. He is the first nonfamily member to hold that role at the third-oldest continuously owned and operated family newspaper company in the nation. The company now known as Shaw Media was founded in Dixon in 1851 by Benjamin Flower Shaw. Rung, 54, had been president of Shaw Media since 2013. Before that, he was the companyâ€™s chief operating officer. He has been with the company 20 years and has served in a variety of management roles, including publisher of the Northwest Herald in Crystal Lake. â€œThe difference between being the CEO and what Iâ€™ve been doing the past few years is a much higher level of communication with the Board of Directors, the trust and with

the Shaw family,â€? Rung said in an interview in his office at the Northwest Herald. â€œI will also be more responsible for acquisitions, investments and diversification.â€? The change wonâ€™t affect readers of the companyâ€™s print and digital publications, although Rung said he planned to invest more in the companyâ€™s news-gathering efforts. â€œIâ€™ve been in charge of operations for several years now, and this transition has been in process for the past three years,â€? Rung said. â€œVice President J. Tom Shaw oversees our suburban operations, and Jim Ringness is the general manager of the Northwest Herald.â€? â€œAs Tom has been transferring his responsibilities to me, I have been delegating more authority to J. Tom and Jim. This has been a wellthought-out transition, and I credit Tom Shaw for that foresight.â€? Rung is the right person to lead the growing company, Tom Shaw said. â€œJohn Rung is a smart, hardworking, person who enjoys a strong moral compass,â€? he said in a statement. â€œThose traits, along with his exceptional industry knowledge and experience, as well as his record of success within Shaw Media, makes him someone that our Board of Directors, the Shaw family owners, and most importantly, the employees of Shaw Media can trust to lead the company.â€?

John Rung has been tapped to take the reins of Sterling-based Shaw Media, publisher of close to 100 print and digital publications in Illinois and Iowa, including the Daily Gazette and The Telegraph. Rung, 54, had been president of Shaw Media since 2013. He replaces Thomas D. â€œTomâ€? Shaw, who announced last month that he would be retiring this month. Inset: retiring CEO Thomas D. â€œTomâ€? Shaw. Shaw Media photos

Rung has learned some key business skills from Shaw over the years, he said. â€œFirst off, I can say with complete sincerity that Tom is the most decent and thoughtful person I have ever known,â€? Rung said. â€œAs a younger man, I was extremely aggressive and did not hesitate to take action. Iâ€™ve learned from Tom that patience and consideration are extremely valuable traits. â€œI think about the recent situation with United Airlines. If the CEO of United had a more basic initial response â€“ something along the lines of, â€˜We are concerned and we are investigatingâ€™ â€“ he would have given the company some time to better understand

the publicâ€™s outcry over the situation,â€? Rung said. â€œHis knee-jerk, defensive reaction wound up having very negative consequences for his company. A few years ago, thatâ€™s probably what I would have done. Because of Tomâ€™s mentorship, I think Iâ€™m in a better position for a more appropriate response to a crisis.â€? Shaw Media has about 550 employees at newspapers, magazines and other publications in northern Illinois and Iowa. Its daily newspaper holdings include Sauk Valley Media, which is the Daily Gazette in Sterling and the Telegraph in Dixon, the Ogle County Newspapers and its

publications in Oregon, Polo, Mt. Morris and Forreston; the Bureau County Republican in Princeton; and the Prairie Advocate in Carroll County. Like print and digital media companies around the globe, Shaw Media faces challenges as the power of traditional media outlets continues to evolve in the digital era. â€œAs you can imagine, we spend a great deal of time discussing that topic,â€? Rung said. â€œWe have a plan that we call â€˜Four Corners.â€™ We see our print and digital newspaper products becoming increasingly focused on local issues. â€œWe are aggressively pursuing strategic acquisitions,

and we are launching new product lines that mesh well with our community newspapers. A perfect example of that would be Pro Football Weekly, a product that has seen revenue and audience increase for three consecutive years.â€? Rung, who lives in Johnsburg with his wife Rachel and three children, said the printed newspaper wonâ€™t disappear anytime soon. â€œI donâ€™t see the printed newspaper dying, but it will continue to evolve,â€? he said. â€œNewspapers have to be more focused and we have to provide more depth on important issues. We might not be first with a story, but we can be best. â€œThat is a difficult objective when you consider how classified ads have migrated away from newspapers, combined with the struggles retailers are facing. We have to become more valuable to our readers at the same time our ad revenue is decreasing. That is not an easy task, but itâ€™s exciting, and itâ€™s what Iâ€™ve signed on for, so bring it on.â€? Outside of the office, Rung is an amateur triathlete who competes in three or four triathlons a season, down from about 15 a season at his peak. Heâ€™s an avid sports fan â€“ particularly football and the Chicago Bears. He also enjoys reading (mostly history) and music (from the late 1970s to 1990s, including the Offspring, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Cheap Trick, Pearl Jam and others).

Public Voice April 4 voter turnout was disgusting

Dear Editor, We deserve the government we have. Less than 22 percent of the eligible voters turned out for the last election April 4 in Ogle County.Â Only 7,362 out of the 33,480 eligible voted. That is disgusting. We deserve the government we have.Â There were 372 candidates on the ballet county-wide that are required to live in the county to run for office.Â Assuming everyone on the ballot and their spouse voted that accounts for 10 percent of those voting. If you include one next door neighbor and spouse that jumps to nearly 20 percent. We deserve the government we have.Â There were seven positions with no candidate filing.Â Only a few of the positions were contested. We deserve the government we have.Â Some uncontested positions had over 20 percent under votes, and Iâ€™ll bet that a majority of voters donâ€™t even know thatâ€™s an option.Â I think that much under voting shows disgust of the the status quo.Â Sometimes I think there should be a mandatory class on voting. Unfortunately that would probably be illegal and would cut the voter participation rate substantially.Â Sadly the newspapers canâ€™t cover all the meetings. There are over 9,000 agencies in Illinois.Â Thatâ€™s more than Texas or California and each other state has more population and more land mass than Illinois. That raises the question do we have too many agencies?Â

Your taxes are directly based on what each agency spends. The more they spend translates directly to what you pay in taxes.Â Â Thatâ€™s my humble opinion.Â Marty Wittig Leaf RiverÂ

Reader supports jail location

Dear Editor, For the last few years, Ogle County officials have been discussing the installation of a new Ogle County Jail and sally port in Oregon. Last November, the board approved a five-year plan, in correlation with their 2015 budget, to invest about $25 million dollars into constructing a new jail. As of right now, the new jail is set to be built in 2018. Since the proposal, all the way through its conformation, there has been a great deal of both optimistic and pessimistic speculations, from the local residents, in regard to building an updated jail facility. As an Ogle County citizen myself, I am proud to say I give this renovation the green light. I detect nothing wrong with the installation of a modern, secure, and profitable jail. Oregon takes pride in the welcoming, safe, and historical nature of our town; so why should we be opposed to something that will improve our judicial facilities? The location where the jail is said to be built is under great scrutiny. The people are concerned that since the new jail and sally port will be blocking off Sixth Street, that there will be a disruption in the flow of Oregon, and it will cause a loss of revenue to our city. The flow of Oregon will

Lifetime Film Integrity Steel Warranty â€˘ Featuring Doors

not be disrupted because the building committee completed a study to measure the impact that blocking off Sixth Street would have. The results stated that the flow of Oregonâ€™s traffic would not be greatly affected. In addition, ther is no justifiable concern to reinforce the loss of revenue that Oregon will experience when the new jail is built. We have seen companies such as Felkers in Byron and SuperValue in Oregon perform similar additions. Both of the previously listed businesses bought properties, demolished the houses, and built their family owned grocery stores. We experienced no substantial amount of revenue loss from these buildings, so why would we experience one now? So, why not accept the positive changes that are offered to our city, and consider it nothing more than necessary progress. Sincerely, Chris Corcoran Mt. Morris

Nelson designs mural for library From A1 like reading, singing, dancing, painting, and enjoying nature. “I wanted the mural to be a message to kids what reading can do for their lives,” said Nelson. Beginning in early February, the mural was painted on a pair of four foot by eight foot panels, and Nelson had more than just her hands on this piece; Oregon Elementary School students helped as well. OES Art Teacher Jordan DeWilde allowed Nelson to use his classroom on Tuesday afternoons. During recess, around 15 of DeWilde’s art students in grades 4-6 would come in and help her paint the mural. “Working with the kids was an eye-opening experience, and I could not have asked for more,” said Nelson. “I

also really appreciate how supportive Mr. DeWilde was; he helped me a lot.” However, DeWilde offers a different perspective, saying his role was minimal, and no credit should go to him. “I think Bailey’s message is a positive one for the community,” he said. “She created a wonderful experience for these students and a beautiful mural that others will enjoy for years to come.” Nonetheless, Nelson maintains that her support has been great. She says her parents, OHS Principal Andrew Nelson and library board president Wendy Nelson have encouraged her from the start, and her friend Jaycie Dees helped her every step of the way. She says the project only cost around $100, which was donated by the library.

He really wanted an old barn, and decided to build one using the lumber from two old farm buildings that he tore down in 2009. Hinrichs built the barn to be a museum and filled the lower level and part of the haymow with his treasures. The jamboree is a way to share his collection with anyone who is interested. The event is named for the couple’s son AJ, who was just 4 years old when it all began.

Eighth graders take a look at career options WACC opens its doors to future students Sauk Valley Media More than 1,100 eighthgraders from 23 area schools flooded into the Whiteside Area Career Center last week and were pointed in a dozen different directions of potential career paths. Jerry Winger, student services coordinator at WACC, said the number of schools participating in the tours, which were held May 3-5, has grown from 15 to 23 during the past seven years, allowing the center to reach out to more and more prospective students. “They are getting exposure to all of our careers and much-needed skills they are going to use for the rest of their lives,” Winger said. The tour guides were center students who volunteered out of a pool of about 630 high schoolers from throughout the area, most of whom were in the eighth-graders’ shoes just a few years ago. “They’re proud of what they’re doing, and they’re sharing that pride with others,” Winger said. “It takes the whole building to put this together, and we couldn’t be more appreciative of their efforts.” Emily Dawson, a Milledgeville High School senior studying criminal justice at the center, on Wednesday led one of the 14 groups of students from David L. Rahn Junior High School in Mt. Morris. It’s beneficial to gauge the students’ interests early on, to help them find what career direction is best, Dawson said. “It’s not just about how great these programs can be for their future; it’s about all the people they’ll meet, too,” she said. “It’s important to let them know how important it is to be around other people

Oregon Police Activity Oregon Police Chief Darin DeHaan reports the following police activity. April 30 At 8:45 p.m., police investigated a two-vehicle traffic crash in the 800 block of South Fourth Street where an unknown vehicle hit a parked 2011 Hyundai belonging to Rosann Costello, 72, Oregon. Anyone having any information regarding this incident, please contact the Oregon Police Department at 815-732-2162. May 1 At 8:30 a.m., police investigated a two-vehicle traffic crash in the 300 block of North Fifth Street involving a 2012 Ford driven by Michael D.

in a different element.” Andrew Wolfe, an eighthgrader at Rahn, said that, from the “drug deal gone bad” crime scene to body armor and self defense offerings, the criminal justice booths were the highlight of the tour. He was able to walk a tape line under the influence of “drunk goggles” fairly well – until he nearly toppled over. “It was pretty fun,” he said. “The criminal justice was great, but I also liked the child care and the health care and the cars and some of the others.” Joey Bardell from Aplington Middle School in Polo said Thursday that he enjoyed the Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities class, in which students build and operate their own businesses. Molly Salins, Forreston Junior High student, was impressed by the Early Childhood Education program. “I’ve always thought teaching younger children would be a great career, and the WACC tour showed me the program was what I’m looking for,” said Salins. “They’re hands-on with their approach, which is how I like to learn. Echoing the hands-on preference was Forreston’s Ryan Schoonhoven, who loved the Automotive Technology. “I hate just sitting in a classroom and reading to learn,” said Schoonhoven. “I’m always helping me dad work on cars, and I’ve known I wanted to work with on them professionally for a long time.” Some Forreston students preferred to keep their hands clean and work in the arts field.

Something for WACC to consider is finding a way to bring the Cosmetology program to the tour, or vice versa. “Several classmates wanted to see the Cosmetology program personally, and were disappointed that we couldn’t,” said Peyton Knight, Aplington Middle School student.

Indian Creek ends Oregon’s season 2-0 Tuesday By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com In its first year as a girls soccer program, Oregon started and ended its season against the same team Indian Creek. Indian Creek (Shabbona) beat Oregon 4-1 in the inaugural game for the Hawks on March 21. By coincidence, the two teams met up again in the Byron 1A regional and the result was a 2-0 shutout by Indian Creek. “We knew Oregon would come out much improved from that first game,” IC coach Scott McClure said. “At halftime, I told our team we had to be more aggressive.” With 10 minutes gone in the first half, Katie Schilling got free on a breakaway and took the ball from midfield to the goal for a 1-0 lead. But unlike the first game where the Hawks were timid all the way through, they began to exert pressure on the Timberwolves. “Our defense broke down on that score and she made a move on us,” Oregon coach Seger Larson said. “But, after that, we controlled the rest of the half.” A few minutes later, Oregon’s Hannah Donaldson

took a 40 yarder that was wide right, but gave the Timberwolves a scare. With 15 minutes left in the half and from a tough angle, Kelsey Handschuh had a shot on goal that missed. “Oregon was coming at us,” McClure said. “They were a different team than before.” Schilling almost got loose again, but the Hawks’ top defender, Alyssa Theisen, stopped a shot-on-goal attempt. “She was all over the field on defense for us,” Larson said. “Taylor Egan also stood out on defense. She had her best game of the year.” At the 11-minute mark of the first half, Handschuh almost had Olivia Lambrigtsen set up near the goal with a high arching shot, but goalkeeper Skyler Kaelin intercepted the ball. Five minutes later, there was a flurry of activity in front of the IC goal, but no shot came out of it. “Part of it is they are more skilled than us,” Larson said. “That’s the difference between a new program and one that been around for awhile.” Larson should know. His older sister was a member of IC’s first team in 2004 and

Larson himself a 2008 grad. Lambrigtsen did get a shot in with 2:35 left, but it didn’t come close. Seconds later, Katelyn Byerley attempted one from 30 yards out and it almost got by Kaelin, who made a juggling catch. “We had opportunities, but they all bounced in the wrong direction,” Larson said. With IC (8-7-3) having only one substitute and reeling a bit from Oregon’s offensive attack, momentum seemed to be on the Hawks side as the second half began and lights on the Byron soccer field

began to shine. Early in the second period, Allyse Ketter got into to the act for Oregon with another close attempt on goal. It was deflected away by a grouping of Timberwolves. Then, as McClure implored his team to do, IC began to be more aggressive. Schilling took a wide-open shot from close range that went wide. Marisa VanWhye drilled a hard one that Hawk goalkeeper Katelin Pudlas (12 saves) deflected. Moments later, the sophomore Pudlas did the same to Schilling.

Instead of getting tired, the Timberwolves appeared to have gained a second wind. “We’ve been playing with no subs or one all year,” McClure said. “Our endurance is there.” “Every game, they have 80 minutes of conditioning and it showed tonight,” Larson said. IC continued to pressure Oregon, with Schilling just missing a shot over the net. Pudlas made another nice stop before VanWhye put a dagger in the Hawks’ chances to come back.

In a nearly impossible shot to stop, she angled the ball in, hitting a post and it bounded into the net for a 2-0 lead with 5:33 left in the game. “That was unlucky on our part,” Larson said. That goal provided relief to McClure and his team of primarily juniors. “I was happy to get some insurance,” he said. What impressed McClure the most was the Timberwolves’ defensive effort. “I couldn’t have been happier with our defense,” McClure said. “On offense, I thought our mids did a nice job of possessing the ball.” Oregon closed out the year at 4-13-1 and though the players were disappointed with the regional outcome, there was also happiness afterwards. “It was great,” said Handchuh, a senior captain. “I’ve been playing for eight years and so glad this happened. This was my best season for any sport.” Oregon loses eight seniors, but has a wealth of underclassmen returning. “I have high hopes for next year,” Larson said. “We ended the year playing a lot of good teams. We’ll learn from that and continue to get better.

Lady Hawks edge Rock Falls at Oregon Park West By Adam Feiner afeiner@saukvalley.com Trailing 6-5 with one out in the top of the seventh against Oregon on May 4, Rock Falls’ Morgan Mandrell squared around to attempt a suicide squeeze bunt to try to bring Faith Sandrock home from third. The result of the play was, to say the least, controversial. Mandrell got the bunt down, and Sandrock raced home. Oregon pitcher Emily Perkins charged in and flipped the ball to catcher Hannah Wolber, who applied the tag to Sandrock. It looked as though the Rock Falls junior had gotten underneath the tag, but she was called out. Mandrell got to second via a wild pitch, and moved up to third on a single to left by Natalie Soltow, but Perkins induced a groundout to second by Gracie Janssen to preserve the Hawks’ 6-5 win over the Rockets. Rock Falls coach Kris Nunez wasn’t shy about her criticism of the umpires when asked if the Rockets were on the wrong end of a few questionable calls throughout

the game. “Yes, especially on the last play,” Nunez said. “[Sandrock] was so far under that tag. [Wolber] tagged her up by the shoulder, and her arm was already across the plate. We got ripped off on that call. That was a terrible call in that situation. “But Oregon played a really good game. They wanted it.” That isn’t to say Rock Falls (20-9, 16-2 Big Northern) didn’t have other opportunities. The Rockets had the bases loaded with one out in the top of the sixth, but Perkins got Bailee Reynolds to line out to short and Addison Seidel to pop out to first to escape the jam. Rock Falls ended up leaving 12 runners on base. Perkins got the win despite allowing six hits, six walks to just three strikeouts, five wild pitches, and a total of 144 pitches. Four of her walks came in the final two innings, as it became evident she started to wear down. “I’ll be honest: Yes,” Perkins said when asked if she started to tire at the end. “It wasn’t that I was physically tired, I was mentally tired. But Coach [Jamie Revelle] has been working with me to

Hawks track team defends Invite title By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com The Oregon boys track and field team successfully defending its title at the 50th Annual Carlin Nalley Invitational at Lisle on May 6. The Hawks had 132 points to 115 for second place Seneca among the nine teams entered. “It was a great team effort,” Oregon coach Jim Spratt said. “We got point contributions from almost all parts of our team.” Collecting first places were Caleb Mennen in the high jump (5-foot-8), Sawyer Foss in the shot put (46-2), the 400 relay (45.88) of Jacob Hoyle, Kaden Humphrey, Alex Sitze

and Mennen and the 1,600 relay (3:36) of Hoyle, Sitze, Foss and Mennen. Ian Hussung (800), Devin DeHaan (300 hurdles), Berto Domniquez (pole vault), Jacob Cox (shot put) and Foss (discus) added seconds. The 800 and 3,200 relays also placed second. “It was a great day for Devin DeHaan getting two personal bests in both hurdle events,” Spratt said. “Our 400 and 1,600 relays performed very well in getting wins and Foss and Cox’s 1-2 finish in the shot put was big for us late in the meet.” The Hawks are hosting the BNC meet on Thursday at Landers-Loomis Field. The favorites are Rockford Christian and Dixon.

get better at that.” “We had [Ellie] Egyed warmed up to go in,” Revelle said. “Emily has been pushing and working on her mental approach, so I chose to leave her in because it was a great learning time for her whether we won or lost.” Oregon (15-9, 11-6) took the lead for good in the bottom of the fifth thanks to a bit of help from the Rockets. After Soltow walked McKenna Sadler, Egyed blooped a single to right. Sadler beat the right fielder Mandrell’s throw to third. Rock Falls third baseman Miranda Long corralled the throw, and fired to second in an attempt to nail Egyed moving up on the throw. Long’s throw to second baseman Kylee Ricketts went haywire, allowing Sadler to come home and give the Hawks the lead. “We made some mistakes that we don’t usually make,” Nunez said. “You come back and you live and you learn.” Rock Falls had two errors behind Soltow, who went the distance and struck out eight while allowing four walks, six hits and five earned runs. Oregon survived despite four errors.

“We had some costly errors, and they did too,” Revelle said. “It was kind of one of those games. We got some breaks, too.” After the Rockets jumped ahead 2-0 in the top of the second on a throwing error by Oregon and a successful squeeze by Mandrell brought home Seidel, the Hawks got five runs in the bottom half. Perkins and Aleah Wight

had RBI singles that each plated two runs, and Sarah Palmer’s hustle on Hailey White’s infield single gave Oregon an early lead. “What’s nice is to see the girls approaching their at-bats very professionally, making adjustments,” Revelle said. “It’s very nice to see them improving in the mental aspect.” Perkins led the Hawks with

two singles and a double. Rock Falls cut the deficit to 5-3 in the top of the third thanks to an Oregon error, and tied the game in the fifth. Long and Payton Johnson came around to score when Perkins’ throw to first on a sacrifice bunt attempt by Johnson hit her, deflecting into right field and allowing both Rockets to race around the bases.

Oregon girls fifth at BNC By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com It was both Dixon and Rock Falls at the head of the class in the 11-team Big Northern conference girls meet on May 4. The Duchesses had 120 points and Rock Falls 86 for second. Since joining the BNC three years ago, Dixon has won the track title each year. “It’s awesome to see this happen again for the girls,” Dixon coach Brandon Woodward said. “It’s builds the program and shows the community what we have here.” Last year, Dixon edged Oregon’s Berto Dominguez pole vaults at the Ogle County Meet last week.

Softball team beats Dixon By Brian Weidman bweidman@sauk valley.com Oregon isn’t a team that needed help in Monday’s softball game against Dixon, but it received a bunch anyway. The Duchesses committed 10 errors, leading to six unearned runs and extending many Hawks rallies on their way to a 23-4 loss to the Hawks at Reynolds Field. Oregon scored five runs in the top of the fifth to cap the run-rule game. “We’ve got to clean up our defense,” Dixon coach Candi Rogers said. “We have to, and I know that we can. We just have to bring it to the game.” Oregon (17-9, 12-5 Big Northern) bashed out 20 hits against three Dixon pitchers. Leading the hit parade were leadoff batter Emily Perkins, who was 4-for-5 with a triple, two RBIs and four runs scored; Hailey White, who was 4-for-5 with three RBIs, three runs scored and three stolen bases; Aleah Wight, who had a two-run homer and a three-run triple; and Bailey Shaffer, who was 2-for-4, scored three runs and drove in two. “We are really getting our groove going, especially on

the slower pitching,” said Ellie Egyed, who contributed two singles and scored twice. “We’re focusing on staying back and driving it through. When we get to fast pitching, we focus on looking at the pitches and making sure they’re right on the money. We’re getting there.” The approach at the plate for the Hawks, who have now won six games in a row, is what pleased Oregon coach Jamie ReVelle. “They had a good junkball pitcher, and you tend to slow down your bat speed with slower pitchers,” ReVelle said. “We focused today on keeping the bat speed up, and that’s where the 20 hits came from.” The Hawks led 6-3 after two innings, then poured it on the rest of the way. A two-run single by Shaffer highlighted a fourrun third inning, and a basesclearing triple by Wight

capped off an eight-run fourth inning and made the score 18-3 at the time. Dixon (5-15, 4-11) scratched across an unearned run in the bottom of the fourth to avoid the 15-run rule and extend the game, but Oregon put it away by scoring five times in the top of the fifth. Egyed got the win in the circle, allowing the Duchesses just three hits, highlighted by a double from Leigha Grove. Oregon also had its issues in the field with six errors, but turned three inningending double plays to limit the damage. “It made it a lot easier,” Egyed said of pitching with vast offensive support. “I focused on getting it in my spots and spinning it so the ball stays in the infield, so my infielders can work on their defense.”

Oregon to host girls sectional track meet Friday From B1 Winnebago by one point for the team title. The Indians were supposed to challenge again, but finished 41 points behind Dixon in the team standings. Oregon was fifth with 54, just three points away from Byron. “When we scored, we scored well,” Oregon coach Nick Schneiderman said. “We’re strong in the field events with the throws and jumps.”

Individual runner-up finishes came from Cynthia Nyderek in the long jump (15-feet-3), Gylian Finch in the triple (32-3) and Abigail Hopkins in the 110 hurdles (17.13 seconds). Nyderek took third in the triple (32-1) and Finch third in the long jump (15-3). Dixon’s Tayla Schwarz, a defending 2A shot put champion, was only three inches off a meet record in her specialty, going 42-8. She also won the discus by

15 feet. As usual, Oregon grabbed multiple places in the throws. Meredith Gelander (33-4) was fifth in the shot and Teddy Beauchem (33-1) was sixth. In the discus, Ellen Reckamp (97-5) was fourth and Gelander (96-11) fifth. “They’re doing what they need to,” coach Doug Engel said. “They’ve worked hard all year and have always gotten team points for us.” At the sectionals, Emily Offenheiser of Stockton will

the be the one to beat, but two state-qualifying sports in the shot and discus are given. “Ellen has been over state qualifying once and consistently close other times. Meredith needs about a foot in the shot put,” Engel said. Oregon’s final place in the field events came from the ever-improving Grace Mongan in the pole vault with an effort of 7-0. Mayra Nava-Motoyl had a rough day, but still managed

a fifth in the 3,200 and 800 runs. “She ran four events again for us and that’s asking a lot,” Schneiderman said. Oregon’s only relay place came in the 400. Christina Tranchina, Brooke Harris, Finch and Hopkins ran 55.19 to take sixth. Hopkins added a sixth in the 300 hurdles. The star of the meet was defending 1A state sprint champion Courtney Sockwell of Rockford Lutheran, who blazed to easy

wins in the 100 (12.49) and 200 (25.42). On Friday, Oregon hosts the 1A sectional. Field events start at 4 p.m. and running events at 5:30. Byron, which has won 19 sectional titles since 1995 and 12 straight, has been bumped up to 2A and will not be maintaining its stranglehold on the meet. The favorite is Winnebago and probably would have been anyway with Byron experiencing a rare down year.

Sports Column Three students bump up Stillman to Class 3A By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Who benefitted most from Stillman Valley moving up to 3A in softball? The Oregon Hawks, that’s who. After two straight 2A sectional titles and winning seven of the last eight regionals, Stillman’s enrollment (587) was three students over the cut-off for being in 2A this season. With the announcement of the sub-sectional seedings, Oregon garnered the No. 1 spot. Had SV been 2A, they would have been No. 1 and the team to beat at the sectional. With the Cardinals out of the picture, Oregon finally has a chance to advance out of a regional. Being geographically

linked to Stillman in the regional, those odds had been slim. With every regional team other than Oregon having a losing record, the Hawks are a big favorite to move onto the sectional for the first time since 2009. On Saturday, the team has what might be their toughest test of the year. In a last-minute scheduling arrangement, the girls will travel into the suburbs to take on 4A Naperville Central (2,875 enrollment). “I can’t remember if we’ve played a school that big in any sport,” Oregon AD Mike Lawton said. “I asked Jamie ReVelle is she wanted to do it and she said yes. It will be good for the girls to take on a challenge like this.” Forreston’s Regional Prior to breaking off its co-op with Polo, Forreston had the same struggle operating in the 2A. Ironically, their 1A sectional complex might be tougher than what they had in 2A. Their regional is more of a

challenge than Oregon’s. But, they are certainly capable of winning it. In baseball, it made real sense for Forreston to go it alone. The 1A pairings give them a much easier trip downstate than 2A ever did. On paper, a supersectional match up with Aurora Christian is a distinct possibility. But, baseball can be so fickle and one bad game can spell disaster.

Hawks, Marcos Win Congrats to Oregon for getting a much-desired win in baseball, knocking off Byron for its first conference win. Though seeded last in the subsectional, an opening-round win over South Beloit is easily attainable. As expected, Polo had growing pains in its first year with baseball and softball. More will be revealed on what direction these programs will go in the next year or two. One year does not provide adequate evaluative tools. It was a big win for the Polo boys on Friday, coming from behind in the seventh inning to beat Bureau Valley 4-3. Congrats guys. A correction is needed from last week’s Ogle County track meet. I mentioned that Forreston nor Polo had ever won it. Gregg Bernhard, a member of the Forreston 1979 team, alerted me to the fact that his team won

the meet. Sorry for the error. IHSA News At a recent IHSA meeting, there was a dialogue about declining attendance at one of its gems – the boys state basketball tournament. “It was a pretty general discussion, just reviewing some of the different ideas that were floated in various newspaper stories, as well as sharing perspectives on attendance in other states. etc,” said Matt Troha of the IHSA. “The basketball advisory committee was set to meet shortly after that, so the Board wanted to see-hear what they thought. I think they provided some potential ideas for the Board to consider.” I was glad to hear the track advisory board will be considering my proposal to eliminate the medal ceremonies at the girls and boys state track meets for all places except for the champion. If that passes, it will eliminate tons of down time and make the meet, also one of the IHSA gems, more fan-friendly.

Traffic enforcement patrols May 12-30 The Illinois State Police will conduct special Traffic Enforcement Patrols (sTEP) between May 12-30 in Lee, Ogle, and Whiteside Counties. District 1 troopers will concentrate on speeding, failure to use occupant restraints, and other driving offenses as part of their enforcement efforts. The sTep program involves a combination increased enforcement and public information designed to raise public awareness and compliance to all traffic laws. Speeding is a contributing factor in 31 percent of all fatal crashes nationwide. In Illinois, speed-related crashes account for more

than 40 percent of all traffic fatalities. Safety Belt Enforcement Zones may also be used during the sTEP program. Troopers will enforce the primary safety belt law to ensure drivers and all their passengers are buckled up. Every hour someone dies in America simply because they are not wearing their safety belts. “Statistics show that half of all the people killed in traffic crashes are not properly buckled up. You can save your life by driving safely and simply buckling up,” said Illinois State Police District One Commander Captain Mark Karczewski.

You can make substantial changes by preparing to achieve your long-term goals.

THURSDAY, MAY 11, 2017 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Use your intuitive insight to guide you on a quest to find information that will help you make better choices regarding your relationships and help you determine your vocational goals. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Set the mood and let your flirtatious personality take charge. Sparring with someone you find mentally and physically stimulating will result in a romantic moment. Follow your heart. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Refuse to let the past interfere in your personal life. People you reconnect with at an event or reunion will lead you astray. Be true to yourself and those you love. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Look at your options and consider how your decision will affect others. A dispute will surface if someone you live or work with isn’t given equal say.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Concentrate on improvements to your health and well-being. Trying a new look or starting a diet or fitness regimen will give you the push you need to forge ahead. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t let confusion set in. Look at your options and make the best choice for you. Romance is on the rise and will improve your life. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Indulge in a creative outlet that brings you joy. A youngster’s comment or special plans with someone you love will push you to spruce up your appearance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Emotions will rise to the surface and should be channeled into making positive changes at home or plans with a loved one. A family outing or romantic getaway is prompted.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Deal with personal relationships attentively. You’ll get a clear picture of someone’s character by the reaction you receive. Know when to move forward and when to back away. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Listen carefully and refrain from letting emotions influence an important decision you make regarding a friend, relative or loved one. Act on facts, not assumptions, to avoid a dispute and regret. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Discuss, negotiate and settle any unfinished business you have let linger. Knowing that you have everything in order will relieve stress and give you the opportunity to start something new. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A discussion with an expert will be enlightening and will enrich your life and help you make better choices regarding how and where you live. Romance is encouraged. ©2017 UFS
