said Monday, but some of the purses and other property taken were later recovered along Ill. 72 between Forreston and Byron. A credit card taken from one of the purses was used at a store in Byron that night, he said. Oregon Police Chief Darin DeHaan said three locked vehicles parked in the Oregon Elementary School lot more than a year ago were broken into and burglarized. That vehicle burglary occurred on Nov. 22, 2013 during the Thanksgiving tournament hosted by the Oregon High School girls basketball team. Some of the items were recovered at traffic pull-off locations on Ill. 2 north of Oregon. The Oregon police beef up their patrols of parking lots during major events at the schools, DeHaan said, because vehicle burglaries are often a problem. He advised the public to remove items of value from their vehicles or at least hid them from view. Anyone with information regarding the Stillman Valley incident Jan. 24, is encouraged to call Ogle County Sheriff’s Office at 815-732-6666 or Ogle-Lee Crime Stoppers at 888-2284488. Crime Stoppers pays rewards of up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrest of a suspect in a crime.
Board rescinds fund transfer
All stars play in front of OHS crowd OCEC vs VOP held for fourth time in Oregon By Chris Johnson Reporter A group of all stars visited the Blackhawk Center last Friday morning to take part in an annual tradition. The Ogle County All Stars took on the Village of Progress All Stars in a game of basketball. From the moment these athletes stepped onto the court they were treated like all stars. The faculty and staff of Oregon High School filled the bleachers to cheer on the competitors. Music from the pep band filled the air and prepared the crowd for the game. As the clock ticked past 10 a.m. the festivities began when each of the athletes was introduced to standing ovations and loud cheers.
The Ogle County Educational Cooperative (OCEC) team and the Village of Progress team got together for their fourth annual game. OCEC provides special education services and programs for disabled students who are 3-21 years of age and residents of Ogle County. Village of Progress is a private not-for-profit corporation that was founded in 1969 to meet the training needs of adults with disabilities who reside in Ogle County. The Ogle County team plays seven games during the year including stops at Rockford Guilford, Woodstock and Aurora. “There is no other school that we play at that supports our team better than the students at OHS,” said Gayle Noble, OCEC adapted physical education teacher. “The athletes love to have their peers witness their talents and it is all they talk

about throughout the entire year.” The game is important for the athletes and their families.
Noble said one parent was moved to tears at seeing the joy the athletes when playing in the game. Turn to A12

The Ogle County Board last week reversed a decision made three months earlier to transfer more than $60,000 from the county’s Tow Fund to the General Fund. When it met Jan. 20, the board rescinded its Oct. 20 motion to transfer $61,713 improperly deposited into the Tow Fund to the General Fund where it rightfully belonged. County board chairman Kim Gouker said after last week’s meeting that the October action was taken to empty the Tow Fund and ensure that former sheriff Michael Harn, whose term was up Nov. 30, could not spend any more money from it. “We were trying to protect the funds from a lame duck sheriff,” Gouker said. “It was the only check and balance we had over that fund. We didn’t want to see it spent at the 11th hour for something that might not be appropriate. And we don’t want to hogtie the new sheriff.” Present sheriff Brian
VanVickle took over the post Dec. 1 after being elected Nov. 4. He defeated Harn in the March Republican primary election. The October action came the same night the board heard the results of a forensic examination of the Tow Fund. James Sullivan, director of dispute advisory for Sikich LLD, Naperville, told the board Oct. 20 that his firm’s forensic examination revealed that more than $10,000 is unaccounted for and that $61,713 was deposited into the Tow Fund that was meant for the General Fund. Sullivan said some of the $61,713 was $10,000 of a $12,920 check from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency which should have gone into the General Fund. He said the other $2,920 of the check was unaccounted for. The IEMA check to help cover overtime paid to deputies for working during a blizzard. The resolution to rescind Turn to A12

Bicyclist is injured in hit and run accident near Mt. Morris By Vinde Wells Editor Ogle County Sheriff’s Police are still seeking information about a semi tractor trailer that struck and seriously injured an elderly Mt. Morris man as he rode his bicycle last week on Ill. 64. Michael Chizzo, 81, remained in serious condition Monday at St. Anthony Medical Center, Rockford, where he was taken after the hit-and-run accident on Jan.
21 on Ill. 64 east of the Mt. Morris village limits. Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle said the incident occurred at 5:55 a.m. and weather may have been a factor. Chizzo was taken by Mt. Morris ambulance to KSB Hospital, Dixon, and later transferred to St. Anthony. Medical helicopters were called but could not fly due to the snowy conditions at the time. VanVickle said the semi driver may not be aware that
his truck struck someone. A witness told police that the truck driver slowed his vehicle after striking Chizzo and then proceeded west. The semi was described as a tractor with a sleeper and a box trailer, both of unknown color. It may have minor damage to the passenger side front bumper. Anyone with information about the accident is asked to call the Ogle County Sheriff’s Office at 815-7326666.

St. Paul Lutheran Church, Oregon, started 2015 by welcoming a new pastor and his family. Richard Tomlinson, 37, took over the post on Jan. 1. Tomlinson and his wife Amy and their three daughters came to Oregon from Philo where he served as pastor of a congregation there for 10 years. “Living in the northern part of Illinois is a true place for me to be,� said Tomlinson, native of Oak Lawn. “Just after this past Christmas, a moving van was loaded with our possessions, and we moved away from Philo. Being there for 10 years was a difficult transition for us to make, mostly because we had many good friends who were still there. But moving to Oregon has been a blessing for us. We are excited to be here and can’t wait to see where my ministry takes me.� The Tomlinsons are the parents of three girls, Abigail, 11, Grace, 9, and Alice, 3. While growing up in Oak Lawn, Tomlinson attended Trinity Lutheran Church there. “I was baptized, confirmed, and also married in that church,� he said. He graduated from Oak Lawn Community High School in June of 1995, and Beloit College, Beloit, Wis., in June of 1999 with a double major in creative writing and religious studies. He worked as a church custodian while he was in high school and for the Beloit College admissions office during his years there. During the summers, he worked for a company called Executive Mailing.

“Pretty much, we processed, stuffed, and mailed out junk mail, so if you ever received a preapproved Visa application or an AOL disc, there’s a chance it could have come from me,� he said. After graduation, he worked for a year before he entering the Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary, Columbia, S. C., in June of 2000. He and Amy were married the following July. While Tomlinson was in class, Amy taught at one of the local schools. They moved to Huntsville, Ala., in 2002 while he
completed his internship. “I was placed at a church to get an experience of what a pastor did,� he said. After moving back to South Carolina, Tomlinson graduated from seminary in May of 2004. His call to the Philo church came a month later, and he was ordained on Aug. 15, 2004. In 2012, he started assisting St. John’s Lutheran Church, 30 minutes away from Philo, as the congregation’s visitation minister, serving there until last December. Tomlinson’s hobbies are reading, and spending time with his kids.
criminal sexual assault of a child in October. State’s Attorney Eric Morrow said he was pleased with the sentence. “I think Judge Redington took into consideration the danger to the public and this defendant’s history,� he said Tuesday. “He has to serve 85 percent of that time, which mean he has to serve over 30 years.� The case was prosecuted by assistant state’s attorneys
Ann Switzer and Josh Versluys. Morrow said Shining Star Children’s Advocacy Center, Dixon, was involved in the case. According to court records, the charges were filed against Wills on Feb. 7, 2014 for offenses that took place from May 1, 2013 to Jan. 31, 2014. Morrow said the investigation revealed that several incidents of sexual assault occurred.
Man sentenced to 36 years By Vinde Wells Editor A Mt. Morris man was sentenced to 36 years in state prison last week for the sexual assault of an eightyear-old girl. Ogle County Judge John Redington sentenced Josiaha Wills, 33, Jan. 22 to three consecutive prison terms of 12 years each. A jury found him guilty of three counts of predatory

The Oregon Republican Reporter is published weekly by Ogle County Newspapers, a division of the B.F. Shaw Printing Co. The Oregon Republican Reporter was founded in 1851 as the Ogle County Reporter. In 1889, the Ogle County Republican, a competing newspaper, was started. In 1890, the Republican was sold to Ziba Landers. Upon his death in 1939, the newspaper was assumed by his son, Ernest D. In March 1951, Paul F. Behan, owner of the Reporter, and E.D. Landers and his son E.G. (Tim) Landers united the newspapers into the Republican Reporter. Ernest D. Landers died in 1966, and E.G. and Behan became partners. Eventually, E.G. Landers assumed sole ownership, and in 1985 he sold the newspaper to B.F. Shaw Printing of Dixon, publisher of the Sauk Valley Newspapers. Ogle County Newspapers also prints the Mt. Morris Times, Forreston Journal, and Polo's Tri-County Press.

Delaney Mahoney is the OHS Senior of Distinction The Oregon High School Senior of Distinction for December is Delaney Mahoney. She was recognized by Danyel Larsen, AP mathematics teacher. “I appreciate having Delaney in class because she understands the importance of
making sure that her studies are balanced with sports and has even figured out how to incorporate community service without taking away from the great work she does at school and the excellence she shows on the volleyball court,” Larsen said. “She holds herself to
a very high standard and is continually working at excelling. The work she does in class and on the court is noticed by her peers and they look to her as a student leader.” Teachers send in their nominations and the entire teaching staff votes on the winner.

Public Voice Vote yes to save your life April 7 Dear Editor, I’m back! I have written lots of letters to you over the years but today’s letter is going to be the most important letter I’ve written. Folks, this letter is about life and death! On April 7, 2015 we will be voting on a proposition to provide ambulance service for Oregon and the surrounding areas (122 square miles). On that day the service that has come to our aid, ATS Ambulance Service, Loves Park, will be done — whether the vote is yes or no. Clint and I learned at the information meeting Tuesday Jan. 20 that they are losing $14,000 a month by being here and, needless to say, this cannot continue. The ambulance service will be under the Oregon Fire Protection District but have its own levy and line on your tax bill. Information about this vote has been spearheaded by Friends of Oregon Fire, headed by two awesome ladies Marie Tilly and Lindsey Breeden. They have been having
information meetings for two months and have two more set for Feb. 10 and March 24 at the fire department administration building at 106 S. First St., Oregon. They will also come to any meetings you have to speak and answer questions on this proposition. For more information call 815-732-1001. You will be hearing from me again as the election date gets closer and with more information I have gathered. Just remember vote yes April 7, 2015 — it could be about life or death.

Ogle County FFA clubs collect Christmas trees By Reita Nicholson Administrative Assistant Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department
On Saturday, Jan. 10, local Future Farmers of America volunteers canvassed Oregon, Byron, Forreston, Baileyville, Adeline, German Valley, and Polo to collect Christmas trees for recycling. The temperature was low, but the sun was shining making for a productive day. The trees were placed out by the curb by participating
residents to await pick up by the FFA volunteers. The trees were then hauled to a drop-off point where they were chipped into useful mulch. This event coincides with the county wide Christmas tree drop off program conducted by local street departments, park districts, and the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department. The program is in partnership with the City of Byron, Byron Forest Preserve District, City of
Rochelle, Flagg-Rochelle Park District, Lichty’s Landscape Service, Oregon Park District, Village of Forreston, Village of Leaf River, Village of Polo, Morgan’s Tree Service, and the FFA organizations in Byron, Forreston, Oregon, and Polo. This year it is estimated that over 600 trees, representing an estimated 16 tons, were collected and recycled into useful mulch, thereby preventing their disposal into local landfills or from being burned.

Four contestants remained after five rounds; Trinity Meyer, Kenny Bower, Gabe Crook and Carson Sweeney. Kenny faltered on “appreciate” when he spelled “appreciation” instead. Gabe and Carson also missed their words.
Trinity correctly spelled her word and then secured the victory by spelling “gambol”. Gambol is a word of French origin that means “to skip about.” There was a spell-off between Kenny, Carson and Gabe with Kenny earning runner-up status. Trinity will represent DLR at the regional spelling bee on Feb. 19 at Dixon High School.

been sufficiently revised to assure proper records are being kept…” Before the Jan. 20 vote, county board member Pat Saunders, Polo, asked if the

“A parent of a student who just moved here last year commented to me after the game that she ‘had never been a part of anything like this,’” said Noble. “Her daughter’s previous school never allowed the students to participate in anything.” Students who are part
of OCEC are out in the community throughout the school year participating in a variety of events. The basketball game at OHS is one of the highlights for the athletes. Noble said the students at OHS also are educated by watching the game. “The students at OHS probably don’t realize the
impact that game makes on many people,” said Noble. “A lot of learning can take place for even one hour outside the classroom.” Throughout the game the students witnessed sportsmanship from all the athletes. The athletes were smiling and enjoying playing this annual game.

Eighth graders begin season The eighth grade girls’ basketball team opened the 2015 season on Jan. 22 against West Carroll. Both teams started slowly and were tied at the end of the first quarter at four. The Eagles’ offense put in nine points to hold a 13-8 lead at the break. DLR’s defense stepped up after the half to hold the Thunder scoreless and the Eagles cruised to a 28-14 win. McKenna Sadler led all scorers with 15 points. Hannah Donaldson chipped in five while Abigail Hopkins had four. Olivia
Mongan scored three and Mallory Bergstrom added a free throw. Two days later, the Eagles participated in the Byron Middle School Round Robin Tournament. DLR’s first opponent was Harlem. The Eagles jumped out to an early 11-0 lead and were leading at halftime, 17-2. Harlem made a brief comeback in the third quarter, closing the gap to nine. In the end, the Eagles were victorious, 26-12. Sadler was tops for the Eagles with eight points while Mongan had seven.
Donaldson added five and MyKenzie Beitel had four. Hopkins added a basket. Host Byron was the Eagle’s next opponent. DLR fell apart defensively and allowed the Tigers to take control of the first half. The Eagles trailed 22-6 at the break. The Eagles stepped it up in the second half but it was too little, too late as they dropped the game, 35-19. Mongan led the Eagles with nine points and Beitel had four. Donaldson and Sadler each added three.

With four wins in six medal round matches including two pins and a technical fall, the Hawk wrestlers pulled ahead of Macomb to take seventh in the tough Orion Invitational Jan. 23-24. The eight-man Oregon team was led by second place Matt Crandall, a 2-1 loser in overtime in a bruising 285 pound title match. At 152 pounds, Dominic Marchetti rolled up a second period technical fall to take third place and Matt Stevens scored his third pin of the tournament in the 195 pound third place match. Christopher Alaniz with a fall and Garrett Rude with a 4-3 decision finished fifth. David Labash reached the fifth place mat and was pinned and did not medal. John Ghibellini lost in the 182 pound quarterfinal wrestlebacks, and Corey Grady went out in the second round of consolation. Alaniz, Grady, Rude, Stevens, and Crandall received first round byes. Marchetti got things going with a half nelson at 4:22. Ghibellini opened with a butcher at 4:36. Labash came from behind with a late escape and a double leg takedown at the buzzer to win 7-5. In the quarterfinals, Alaniz lost a takedown in a half nelson at 4:42. Grady was turned twice in the third, the second a spladle at 5:30. Marchetti took a 13-5 major decision over Josh Wheeler of Erie. Rude scored an outside single to the back in a cradle at 1:46. Ghibellini was driven down to his back at 3:01 by the eventual second place finisher. Stevens lost a takedown in the third, quickly escaped, and hit a throw to the back at
f
5:24. Labash ran into Noah Eads of E-P, who has haunted him all season, and this meeting was no different, Eads pinning with the guillotine at 1:25. Crandall worked a cross face into a butcher at 1:31 to advance. That was the end of day one, with all eight Hawks still in the mix, four in the semifinals, and three in the second round of consolation, and Alaniz in the consolation quarterfinals. Day two would start with Grady getting eliminated in tight match, just missing a takedown as time expired in a 4-3 loss. Ghibellini with a reverse half at 1:49 and Labash with a wing at 2:09 advanced. In the wrestleback quarterfinals, Alaniz worked a scrape for two points in the third to take an 8-0 major decision. A lost double leg takedown at the second period buzzer was the undoing for Ghibellini in a tournament ending 3-2 loss. It was the chicken wing again for Labash, running it at 2:50. The two winners moved to the semifinals to wait for the semifinal losers in the upper bracket in the true wrestleback format. In that top bracket, only Crandall won. Marchetti met third ranked Curtis VanWinkle of Mercer County and got countered on two tries at takedowns in the third in a tough 8-5 loss. VanWinkle finished second. Rude lost takedowns in every period and an escape in the second to drop a 7-0 decision to fifth ranked Duncan Terry of Bloomington U-High, the second place finisher. Stevens wrestled against third ranked and eventual champion Austin Shoup of Erie, and it was over quick, Stevens in a cradle at 1:35.
Crandall put on a power half at 3:05 to advance to the final against third ranked Quinton Ball of Mercer County. In the consolation semifinals, Alaniz was reversed to his back in a half nelson at 2:25. That put him in the fifth place match against Chris Bonnell of Erie-Prophetstown. Marchetti ran a wing at 2:32 to advance to the third place mat. Late scores in the first two periods hurt Rude, and another with 20 seconds left in the match put him away in a 7-2 loss. Stevens scored nine points in the second period and scored a takedown in a half nelson at 4:25 to reach the third place mat. Labash lost reverses in the second period and late in the third period in a tough 4-0 loss to eighth ranked Noah Bridgewater of Orion, Labash unable to get deep enough on his wing attempts. The medal round started with a good match by Alaniz, working the wing and a half nelson for a pin at 1:33. Marchetti got a rematch with Wheeler and scored four sets of backpoints in a 16-0 tech fall. Rude hit an outside single in the first period and a strong double in the second, spending the third on his feet and holding on to take the medal. Against second seed, Zane Viernow of Sherrard, Stevens avoided a first period takedown with a flying squirrel, and connected on his second throw attempt at 3:03. Labash met up with Eads again, with a similar result, Eads ending Labash’s medal hopes with guillotine at 3:40. The match between Crandall and Ball was as tough a heavyweight match as there can be.

Rock Falls defenders kept Hawks in check Rockets best Oregon 53-39 By Andy Colbert Reporter In a 53-39 win over
Oregon, there was little question among the Rock Falls coaches and players on what made the difference in getting their first conference win and also avenging an earlier defeat to the Hawks. “It was the way we

defended their shooters, especially (Trevor) Otten,” RF coach Brad Bickett said. “We had to stop No. 4 (Otten). He dropped 20 on us last time,” Tanner Dean said. “It was all about our defense,” added Jacob Mammosser. Mammosser and Dean did their part on offense, as well, scoring 18 and 12 points, respectively for Rock Falls (1-6, 3-15). Meanwhile, Otten had a brief spurt of five point to help the Hawks go on a 9-0 run and close within 16-15 early in the second quarter. He would only score five more points the rest of the way and Oregon would never threaten again. “Rock Falls was more focused than us,” Oregon coach Quinn Virgil said. “We struggled to get into sets and they forced us to take bad shots. We never settled down and got relaxed.” Oregon was also hurt by the loss of point guard Jarrett Reynolds, who is out with an appendicitis, forcing the Hawks into a 6-man rotation for the entire game. “I don’t think we were tired, but without Reynolds, it’s hard getting into our offense,” Virgil said. “He’s our vocal leader on offense and we really missed not having him.” Mammosser scored four first-quarter baskets to give the Rockets a 10-point

lead. After Oregon went on its second-quarter run, sophomore Logan Pillars cooled them off with five straight points and Noah Junis hit a long-range 3-pointer at the buzzer for a 27-20 halftime lead. “We did a nice job of sharing the ball and not worrying about who was scoring,” Bickett said. Dean increased that
advantage to 32-20, while Oregon remained scoreless for the first 4:40 of the third quarter. Matt Wazilewski, who led the Hawk with 14 points, tried to get his team back in it in the second half, but it was Dean and Mammosser combing for 12 points to close the game out for Rock Falls. “It was nice to see us start to get rewarded,” Bickett
said. “Maybe this will jumpstart the rest of the season.” Oregon fell to 2-5 in the BNC and 9-12 overall. Oregon had 28 rebounds and 18 turnovers compared to 25 rebounds and 14 turnovers for Rock Falls. “We had been playing real well in the last few games, but the wheels came off tonight,” Virgil said.
Injury-plagued Lady Hawks lose to Winnebago 60-40 By Andy Colbert Reporter Call it what you want, a thinning of the ranks, or a depletion of available resources—both of those descriptions fit the Oregon girls basketball team in a 6040 loss to Winnebago on Jan. 23. It was the Lady Indians’ first win in conference play after seven losses. “They’ve played everyone close,” Oregon coach Kristy Eckardt said. Already smarting from the Emy Wright loss, the Lady Hawks were also with No. 2 player Kelsey Pudlas, still recovering from an ankle injury. Additionally, junior
Alli Henson was out with injury and illness and Anni Wilson was less than 100 percent because of a knee problem. “Yeah, we were down to just five of our original varsity players, which is not something you want to have to deal with in any season,” Eckardt said. “The other girls did a nice job stepping up and all the underclassmen that have seen playing time are adjusting well to the varsity level. We’re just continuing to build and improve and hope to be back close to full strength for regionals.” The labor shortage even extended to the coaching staff. Eckardt was without assistants Rich Fritz
and Candice Holbrook, both of whom had other commitments. Filling in was sophomore coach Earleen Hinton, who was limited herself due to a lingering sickness that kept her from shouting out instruction. Early on, Oregon kept close, trailing only 8-5 on baskets by Ally Bartling, Josie Sansone and a free throw by Wilson. Then, Winnebago started to controls the boards and scored the next eight points, mostly by much taller Maddy Williams. “All these games are just helping us get stronger, playing through adversity... again, I think it will really prove helpful when it comes
regional time,” Eckardt said. Oregon made a push to get back in the game early in the second quarter. A nifty move under the basket by Sansone for two points and six more points by Abby Newman pulled Oregon to within 2013. Directing the offense and setting Newman up down low was Bella Holley with her precision-like passing. “Bella had a nice game, had to take over some of the point guard responsibilities,” Eckardt said. “She sees the floor really well and she was very smart with the ball against ‘Bago.” Unfortunately, ‘Bago dominated the rest of the second quarter, with seniors
Gracie Caltagerone and Morgan Burkhart outscoring the junior-laden Hawks to take a 28-16 halftime lead. “You could tell they were smelling the blood in the water with so many of our girls out,” Eckardt said. “They were playing really well and motivated to get the conference win. They shot really well and have several different girls that can score.” In the third quarter, those two and Williams dominated play further and it was 45-24 after three quarters. Newman led the Lady Hawks (3-8, 11-13) with 13 points on six baskets, followed by Sansone with six, Wilson with five and Bartling and Holley with
four each. Underclassmen Gylian Finch and Emily Perkins, chipped in three each as Eckardt had to rely on the lower levels. “We’ll just keep fighting and moving forward,” Eckardt said. “There’s no time for excuses...every team goes through adversity, we just have to keep staying positive and use it as motivation to come out and prove ourselves to everyone.” The Lady Hawks (3-8, 8-11) find out this week where they will be seeded in the Fulton 2A regional. Right now, Morrison (12-9) is the only team out of the six with a winning record.
Oregon wrestlers defeat Winnebago and Amboy By Randy Holland

The Hawk wrestlers extended their dual meet winning streak to nine, defeating Winnebago 42-26 and Amboy 36-28 in Amboy on Jan. 20. Oregon had to come from behind with three forfeits at the end of both contests to take the wins. Amboy edged ‘Bago 25-24 in the opening meet. Opening against the Indians, there was a double forfeit at 113 and the Hawks lost forfeits at 120 and 132 pounds wrapped around a 10-1 major decision loss by Skylar Carlson at 126 to fall into an early hole. Oregon fell in deeper when Zim Granados lost another major, 14-1 Trailing 20-0, Oregon started working back into it with a 15-0 technical fall at 3:43 by Corey Grady at 145. Numbers helped at 152 and 170 with forfeits to Dominic Marchetti and Garrett Rude, but Terry Page was scraped and pinned at 2:37 in the 160 pound match.
John Ghibellini moved the score to down 26-20, holding on for a 5-2 win at 182 pounds, and Matt Stevens added four points with an 18-10 major decision at 195. The Indians had no wrestlers at 220, 285, or 106, and David Labash, Matt Crandall, and Christopher Alaniz took forfeits to end the meet. Only six matches were settled on the mat, each team winning three, but the advantage went to “Bago with the two majors and a pin to a tech, a major, and a decision for the Hawks. The Amboy meet started with forfeits both ways, Carlson getting the pass for the Hawks. First on the mat was Granados at 138, never scoring and down 8-0 when he was turned with a half nelson at 3:24 and the Hawks were down 12-6. Grady tied it up with a butcher at the five minute mark, and Oregon went ahead on a 5-2 win by Marchetti. Page scored first again but was taken down in a cradle in the second period and pinned
at 2:50, giving the Clippers a three point lead. Rude gave up an escape and takedown in the third period, but hung on for a 6-3 win to knot the score at 18. Ryan Leffleman gave Ghibellini a tough match, pinning him with a butcher at 3:17. Down six, the Hawks needed a win. Stevens could not deliver. He never got rolling, a reverse in the first and an escape in the second his only points in a 13-3 major decision loss. The Hawks were down by 10 and the three forfeits gave them the eight point win. On the mat, it was Amboy with the edge, three pins and a major decision to a pin and two wins for Oregon. In junior varsity action against Amboy, Connor Hopkins had a three point nearfall in the second before he hooked up a butcher at 5:32, and used the same hold against Winnebago at 2:46. Anton Aba-Varela gave up three backpoints in the third period of an 11-5 loss.

Strong play for Hawks results in 52-35 win over Stillman By Andy Colbert Reporter The streaking Oregon boys basketball team continued its strong play with a decisive 52-35 road win over Stillman Valley on Jan. 24. That win came on the heels of a close loss to Winnebago, after leading the game going into the fourth quarter. “We were down with five with three minutes left, they hit a shot, we missed and I think we panicked and pushed too much,” Oregon coach Quinn Virgil said. Against Stillman, it was Trevor Otten that got the Hawks rolling with four 3-pointers in a row without a miss in the second quarter. That gave Oregon a 20-12 lead and the Hawks would never look back.
“Stillman came out in a 2-3 zone and didn’t extend it and Trevor got on a hot streak,” Virgil said. All of that happened after a sloppy first quarter by both teams, with Oregon only leading 5-4. The Hawks were also missing guard Jarrett Reynolds, out with appendicitis. Reynolds will be out the rest of this week. “Without Jarrett, we did okay. He’s a vocal leader at guard,” Virgil said. “For whatever reason, we struggle shooting in this gym.” Seth VanBrieson also got hot early in the second quarter for Stillman, only to be out-shot by Otten. “Coming in, he was the one we had to contain. A couple time, we lost him a little bit,” Virgil said. Carson Buck helped out the cause with a pair of
three of his own, the second on an Otten kickout to make it 28-17 early in the third quarter. Otten then found Matt Wasilewski for a score, showing he can do more than shoot. Ahead 37-23 going into the fourth quarter, the Hawks struggled with the man-to-man defense of Stillman, but Skylar Short finally broke the scoring drought with a basket to put Oregon back up 39-28 with four minutes left. “We didn’t play great, but we didn’t play bad. I was pleased we had a 2-1 assist to turnover ratio for the first time all year,” Virgil said. Down the stretch, Jerrick Orsted took over, scoring eight of the final 10 points. “He’s started playing well lately – against Lutheran and Winnebago,” Virgil said.
From A13 Neither wrestler could gain an advantage on their feet. Ball escaped at the start of the second and Crandall got away early in the third. On their feet again, they couldn’t break the tie in the Oregon’s Jerrick Orsted and Skylar Short trap a Stillman Valley player during Jan. 24 first overtime.

slipped out of Crandall’s grasp midway through the first tiebreaker. Crandall had a chance early and was nearly to his feet in the second tiebreaker, but went back to the mat and couldn’t answer, losing 2-1. As expected, the powerful Dakota Indians rolled to first place
with 275.5 points and nine champions. Mercer County was 80 points back, with two champs and nine total medals. Erie-Prophetstown, with 150 points, had a strong final round to vault over fourth place Gibson City-MelvinSibley-Fisher and fifth place Sherrard.

Sports Column
By Andy Colbert Reporter We haven’t talked much this year about one of my favorite topics – sports officiating. What better time than basketball season to do this. That’s where referees take more abuse from fans, coaches and even players than any other sport. A big concern for the welfare and future of high school athletics is the shortage of officials. People need to start laying off these guys, otherwise there might not be enough of them to go around. In talking with a longtimer the other day, he said some sports are reaching a
point where there is a lack of qualified officials and that problem will intensify as fewer and fewer young people get involved. On the positive side, Jim Hayden, formerly of Byron, was named Baseball Official of the Year by the IHSA. Hayden now lives in Roscoe and is a member of the local White Pines Officials Association. I first met Jim nearly 30 years ago, as we both played for Oregon in a Jaycee regional tournament. What I remember was how gracious and gifted he was. About that time, he was a partner with his buddy Joe Pendergrass when Jay’s Drive-In started up and then went on to coach baseball at Byron. A very well rounded person was Jim and congratulations on this honor. Other local members of the association that have also been selected
in the past are Roy Snyder for wrestling and Don Cook for football and basketball. After 47 years of calling basketball games, Cook is finally hanging up his whistle. “It got to the point that it’s not as much fun,” Cook said. “Then, there’s all the travel and the winter weather.” Speaking of the White Pines officials, they will formally present a banner to the Oregon softball team for being tops when it coming to sportsmanship. Prior to the home basketball game on Feb. 3, they will honor coach Jay Holley and the Lady Hawks’ program for their exemplary behavior. Every official in the association had a vote and the criteria used were: 1.) the team itself, 2.) the coaching staff and 3.) the fans. Any team in the northwest part of the state, including around
Rockford is eligible. It’s an outstanding achievement and something Oregon should be especially proud of. Sports are so much more than wins and losses. While we’re on the softball front, mention should be made of Forreston softball coach Terry Pierce recently announcing his resignation. “I have problems with my hands, wrists, shoulders and even ankles,” Pierce said. “It’s horrible being out in the cold weather. All those things started to add up and I told our AD that I couldn’t go through the grind anymore. If I was 35, I’d be glad to stay on another 15 years.” With only one senior graduating and a talented incoming class of freshman to complement an already solid program, the next coach should be in good shape. Personally, I’ll be sorry to see Terry go, as he was one of the friendliest and outgoing

coaches I’ve ever worked with. He also told it like it was, a refreshing change amidst all the coachspeak. “I’ll still go around and watch games like a regular fan,” Pierce said. “If I see good prospects, I’ll recommend them to colleges.” In reading the box score of Forreston’s 60-13 over Amboy, I saw something I’ve never seen before in a boys game. Not a single player on Amboy managed more than two points. Did you know that the BNC has a cheerleading competition. It was held on Friday and Rockford Lutheran edged Stillman for first place, 83.5 to 82. Oregon, with 71.8, was seventh among the 10 teams. The IHSA had its sectional dance competition on Saturday, but the only Ogle county school to compete was Rochelle.

Wood burning stove blamed for fire at Rochelle garage Jan. 22 By Vinde Wells Editor A malfunction in a woodburning stove is believed to be the cause of fire Jan. 22 that severely damaged a Rochelle garage. Rochelle Fire Department investigator Ben Johnson said Monday that the fire originated in the stove and quickly spread to the attic at an auto mechanics business in the former J.H. Patterson Company building at 510 W. Second Ave. Firefighters arrived on the scene to find the wood-
burner fully engulfed and flames up to the ceiling and into the attic, Johnson said. “The fire was mostly confined to the attic and roof,” he said. “The roof collapsed, but not all of the contents was lost.” He said some tools and other equipment inside the garage are usable. The fire was reported at 11:41 a.m. by Francisco Reyes, who is the tenant of the building, which is owned by a bank, Johnson said. He said Reyes was at work inside the garage when he smelled smoke. When he
went outside to investigate, he saw smoke coming from the building’s gables and called 911. Trains on both the Union Pacific and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks were stopped for two to three hours to allow firefighters to place hoses across the tracks to access the water supply, Johnson said. Firefighters remained on the scene until 5:30 p.m. The Ogle-Lee, LynnScott-Rock, DeKalb, Malta, Firefighters from several departments battled a fire at Second Avenue and Washington and Ashton Fire Departments Street in Rochelle on Jan. 22.

Internal audit at sheriff’s dept. By Matt Mencarini Sauk Valley Media The Ogle County Sheriff’s Department is conducting an internal audit into the nearly $11,000 a forensic auditor could not account for in the county’s administrative tow fund while it was controlled by former Sheriff Michael Harn. The audit will likely take “a couple months,” said current Sheriff Brian VanVickle, who was sworn in on Dec. 1. “We’ve made progress,” he said. “But obviously, there’s a lot of info to go through.” The process is taking longer than most would like, VanVickle said, because there are “hoops you have to jump through” for the department to obtain records or re-create records it needs. When VanVickle took office, the files were gone
from computers that Harn and his executive assistant had used. In October, Sikich, a Naperville-based accounting and consulting company, presented the results of its forensic audit to the County Board. The company was hired in April, several months after many board members, including Chairman Kim Gouker, had opposed an indepth examination of the records. The audit found that $10,754 was unaccounted for, about $61,000 in fees had not gone into the county’s general fund where they belonged, and a complete breakdown on internal controls. In December 2013, Sauk Valley Media reported that funds from the tow fund had been used by Harn to pay for a tent for the county fair,

flowers for Secretary’s Day, and a $4,000 management fee for the department’s Facebook page, in addition to vehicle purchases and repairs. The fund was established in 2011 by county ordinance, which gave the sheriff’s department the ability to charge a $350 fee when it had vehicles towed. When the ordinance was passed, the county didn’t put limits on what could be deposited into the bank account, and officials later said restrictions on expenses had been set up too loosely. The sheriff had been given complete discretion on spending the money. In the fund’s first 2 years of existence, about $210,000 was deposited, with one third – $70,000 – coming from sources other than administrative tow fees.
CROSSWORD SOLUTIONS 1
The forensic audit also recommended better financial control of the tow fund, many of which have since been implemented by the county and the sheriff’s department. In April, the county transferred control of the fund from the sheriff’s department to the treasurer’s office, where most county funds are handled. While Gouker said he isn’t directly involved with the review, which he said extends to all of the documents in the department, he gets periodic updates from VanVickle, but no significant progress regarding the unaccounted for money had been made. “I feel very comfortable with where we’re going,” Gouker said. “It took a few years to get to this point. ... It’s just not going to get cleaned up overnight.”

Measles have spread to Illinois By Brian Kennedy Public Health Associate Ogle County Health Department
A recent outbreak of the measles originating at Disneyland in California has since spread to 11 other states including Illinois. Though cases of the measles have greatly decreased since the 1960s and 1970s, it has not been completely eradicated. Preventive measures must continue to be taken against this disease. Measles is an airborne,
highly contagious respiratory disease caused by a virus. Symptoms of this disease include fever, coughing, runny nose, red eyes, and sore throat. These symptoms then lead to a rash that spreads all over the body. Complications of the measles happen to three out of every ten people with the measles; they are more likely to occur in adults than children. According to CDC, complications include pneumonia, diarrhea, brain damage and blindness.
The large number of measles cases this year stresses the importance of vaccination. The widespread use of the MMR vaccination has decreased the number of measles cases by at least 99 percent since its introduction. CDC recommends that everyone receives two doses of the vaccine starting at age 12 months. The first dose should be taken between the age of 12 and 15 months, and the second dose between 4 and 6 years of age. Adults born before 1957
are considered immune to the measles and those born in 1957 or afterward are to receive an MMR vaccine, whether they received one as a child or not. If you suspect that you have developed this disease, please reach out to your local health department and prevent close contact with other persons to deter it from spreading. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the measles, call Joanie Padilla at the Ogle County Health Department by calling 815732-7330 ext. 279 or log onto www.cdc.gov/measles.

www.MajeskiMotorsInc.com
After coming from a previous dealer, we were right away impressed with the quality of cars and variety at Majeski Motors. It was a joy to work with 1 individual through our whole selling process, and not be juggled around from office to office. We have been buying cars for over 65 years and have never had a more enjoyable experience. Jim & Adrian L - Walnut, IL We really enjoyed working with Brent. He did not rush our decisions, or push us into buying something we didn’t want. Their friendliness & service while we waited was over the top! This is the 2nd car our family has purchased in the last year with the same great results. We will definitely be back for all of our future cars. Josella D. - Milledgeville, IL
Majeski Motors is a great place to buy a car. The staff was welcoming and everything was very authentic. Majeski and staff are AWESOME!! Tina - Chicago, IL I would definitely recommend Majeski Motors to a friend! I had a “NO HASSLE” buying experience that got straight to the point & was not sold something I did not want. The dealership is very clean & Brent was very friendly. I even came to look before business hours and was still helped with my selection and sale. Josh L - Sterling, IL After viewing the website & driving 2+ hours, I was not disappointed with the vehicle quality and selection as well as the friendly staff. Vince - Tinley Park, IL This is the 3rd vehicle that we have purchased from Majeski Motors. They did not have the vehicle we wanted on their lot, but they found the vehicle we wanted. They take the stress out of buying a car. They make sure they get you a quality car at a good price. L. Carter - Dixon, IL
