Officials await word on state’s repayment plan By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Local officials are awaiting direction about how taxing bodies will be expected to repay money they received due to a state error over the past two years. An error by the Illinois Department of Revenue
(IDOR) means hundreds of taxing districts across the state that received disbursements from a personal property tax replacement fund in 2014 and 2015 must repay an estimated $168 million to the state. Like other county officials, Oregon School Superintendent Tom
Mahoney has heard nothing from the state about how the repayments will be accomplished. “We don’t know the true impact to our finances because we don’t know how much or how long the repayment schedule will be,” he said Tuesday. Ogle County taxing bodies must repay a total
of $582,777.07. That includes the county, school districts, cities and villages, townships, fire districts, and park districts. The Oregon School District was the hardest hit in the county with $93,621.17 to pay back. Mahoney said personal property tax replacement reimbursement (PPRT)
Sewer work continues on Tenth Street A project to install new sanitary sewer mains along Tenth Street is more than halfway completed. The street is currently closed for construction from Webster Street to Pines Road, but Oregon Public Properties Commissioner Jim Barnes said Tuesday that the street will reopen once the work is done. Mayor Ken Williams said the sewer work is just the first phase of a street upgrade. The street will remain open to local traffic during the second phase, which will include resurfacing plus installing curbs, gutters, and sidewalks all the way to Pines Road. Williams said the second phase will begin in May after school is out for the summer. Hawk Drive will also be resurfaced. The Oregon City Council awarded the contract for the approximately $850,000 project to Martin and Company. Williams said a natural gas line was broken Monday afternoon when the walls collapsed in a trench city workers were digging for the sewer main near Riverstone Church. No one was injured, a crew from Nicor Gas repaired the break. Barnes said collapsing trench walls have posed a problem for workers due to Workers were busy repairing a gas line on S. 10th Street Monday afternoon.

is a factor in determining how much general state aid school districts receive. “Higher PPRT decreases general state aid,” he said. “So in the last three years our general state aid should have been higher.” The district is already feeling the pinch, Mahoney said with a smaller than anticipated PPRT payment in April. “The last PPRT payment was short, and that will impact this year’s budget,” he said. The school district’s fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30, the same as the state’s. The personal property tax replacement was instituted in 1976 to replace money that was lost by local governments when their powers to impose personal property taxes on corporations, partnerships, and other business entities were taken away.
The state uses the same formula it has used since 1976 to calculate the tax. Payments are to be made to the taxing bodies in January, March, April, May, July, August, October, and December. The docked April reimbursement is the start of the repayment of $168 million statewide – but no one seems to know how long the reimbursement reductions will last. The misallocation was identified when the Department of Revenue implemented its new general ledger system, it said in a statement. It began in 2014 under former Gov. Pat Quinn’s administration following an amendment to the Illinois Income Tax Act, the department said. Turn to A2
Opposes rail line By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Two women voiced vehement opposition to the Ogle County Board last week to building a railroad line through the east side of the county. Miriah Ranken, Rochelle, and Cindy Brown, Lindenwood, both urged the board April 19 to get involved and oppose the proposed Great Lakes Basin Railroad. Building the rail line would cost an estimated $8 billion. The rail system would be entirely funded by private investors led by Frank Patton, Crete, a former software developer. Ranken advised board members to attend an April 20 informational meeting held in Rochelle to become familiar with the project. “We implore you to get involved now rather than later because this is when you’ll have the most say,” she said.
The Surface Transportation Board, an agency that works independently within the U.S. Department of Transportation, organized 10 public meetings, including the one in Rochelle, to gather input on a proposed 278-mile rail line project that would extend from southern Wisconsin to northern Indiana. Ranken urged the board to pass a resolution opposing it because of what she called its adverse effect on the watershed, endangered species, and wildlife. “We will leave you with this thought,” she said. “Is this in the best interests of Ogle County citizens?” Brown said the rail line will have an adverse effect on agriculture. It could also mean some roads will dead end, making it difficult for emergency vehicles to get where they need to go, she said. “This is a private investor that wants to use eminent domain for his own gain,” Brown said.
Anti-bullying seminar impacts students, faculty Father’s heartfelt story brings tears, message to kids By Christopher Heimerman Sauk Valley Media
cheimerman@sauk valley.com Students sobbed, and the door to the gym at Oregon High School revolved, as teachers left and returned with more boxes of tissues, and even toilet paper when the tissues ran out. Before the fifth graders through freshmen absorbed the intense antibullying message from Kirk Smalley of the activist group Stand for the Silent, their administrators warned their parents.
Letters were sent with a form that could be filled out to excuse their child. Not one parent asked that their child be excused. “I was so proud of all our parents,” said Ann Tilton, principal of Oregon Elementary School. “I knew it was going to have to be powerful. He’s a dad who lost his child.” Smalley tearfully shared the story of how, after two years of being bullied, his 11-year-old son, Ty, shot himself. The phone call from his hysterical wife. The promise he made a month and seven days later to never bully again. He shared statistics, such as students being bullied every seven seconds nationwide, and that one of

four high school graduates have made plans to commit suicide. He held up his cell phone and explained how easy it is for students to terrorize each other. About midway through the 90-minute assembly, he asked how many in the crowd had been bullied. All but a few hands went up. “I love you guys,” he said, signing that phrase with his thumb, index finger and pinkie. “You are somebody.” Then he asked how many kids in the audience were bullies. Three hands went up in the corner of the gym. Smalley strode toward them and signed again. “I love you guys,” he said.

Overpayment to Ogle County entities $582,777.07 From A1 The Oregon School District had already made cuts for the upcoming fiscal year based on dwindling revenues, particularly general state aid. Mahoney said most of the PPRT money goes into the Education Fund, which pays most of the district’s bills. This year, he said, the district was expecting to receive just over $613,000 from PPRT. Polo School Superintendent Chris Rademacher echoed Mahoney’s concerns. He, too, is awaiting word on how and when the state expects to get $20,981.37 back from his district. “It could have a big impact because it affects general state aid,� he said. The district budgeted $165,000 from PPRT for this year. That was based on the previous year’s receipt of $170,000. “Of course, that was miscalculated,� Rademacher said. The Forrestville Valley School District is slated to pay back $23,959.21. “It’s very disappointing,� Superintendent Sheri Smith said. “It’s another piece added to the budget crisis affecting schools.� Like Mahoney, she said that because of the PPRT overpayment, schools received less in general state
aid, something she doubts will be reimbursed. “We’re going to end up being hit twice,� she said. “It’s very difficult to navigate finances right now.� Ogle County’s share of the overpayment amounts to $50,701.07. “It’s an estimate at this point,� said county treasurer John Coffman. “But I’m not sure what ‘estimate’ means.� He said he hopes more information will be available after a meeting of state officials in Chicago later this week. The amounts the county receives with each disbursement varies, Coffman said, but the total budgeted for the year is $441,000. The county’s fiscal year ends Nov. 30. Documents from IDOR show the county has received seven PPRT payments since last July ranging from $9,632 to $81,713. “We’ll definitely feel it,� Coffman said. “It will definitely have an impact on our finances. With the state’s problems this is just another impact on local governments.� City and village officials are also in limbo with little information. “We haven’t received an notification from the state yet,� said Polo City Clerk Susie Corbitt. The city has $2,425 to repay. Oregon Finance
Commission Terry Schuster and Mt. Morris Village Clerk Paula Diehl both said the topic would be discussed at their respective regular municipal meetings Tuesday night. Mt. Morris owes $7,839. “It is going to affect us a great deal,� Diehl said. Schuster said the impact to Oregon, with $8,913 to pay back, could be worse. “Fortunately it’s not a large amount, so the impact won’t be as bad as for some of the taxing districts,� he said. Forreston Village Clerk Carol Gagliardi said the budget will suffer from the repayment. The village owes $2,046. “That’s $2,000 less we’re going to have to work with,� she said. “We’re going to have to keep that in mind.� Village treasurer Fred Schneiderman said Forreston has received $17,924 in PPRT in the current fiscal year which ends April 30. Department of Revenue Director Connie Beard said in the statement that the department will work with the affected districts to recover the money. “We are certainly sensitive to the impact recouping these funds will have on some of our taxing districts,� she said. “We will be working with the impacted taxing districts to establish a plan to recapture the funds over an extended period of time.� A repayment plan has yet

to be established, but taxing districts likely will be asked for smaller reductions in tax replacement allocations over a period of years, Department of Revenue spokesman Terry
Horstman said last week. The department has begun contacting the taxing districts, as well as organizations such as the Illinois Municipal League
and the Illinois County Treasurers’ Association, Horstman said. Sauk Valley Media contributed to this story.

The next step will be to review and revise our current city ordinances, many of which are 30 years old, to be sure they reflect the needs of our community today. This process is expected to take about six months. You may also have heard about Oregon Together and the MAPPING program. This is not a city project but rather a grassroots community planning process that brings people together to identify shared visions, goals and projects, as well as a plan for implementation – all toward revitalizing Oregon’s community and economic development. The key here is implementation; it not only does the visioning but also does the work to make those visions happen.
This program, sponsored by the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs, was hoping to get 40 to 60 participants. It wound up with over 100, a testament to the willingness of our citizens to engage and put their fingerprint on the future of our city. Hands On Oregon is a third group, made up entirely of volunteers, whose purpose is to choose specific projects that will make Oregon a better place to live, work and play. The first project they chose was to put a mural on the south wall of Conover Square enhancing its appearance and attracting more of our many visitors to the unique shops inside. Kudos to our community for maintaining the spirit of volunteerism that has made

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

State of Illinois established free schools in 1855 Editor’s note: Otto Dick, Oregon, has researched the people, places, and events important in Oregon’s history for the Ogle County Historical Society. The following is one of a series of the articles he has written. By Otto Dick S. A. Briggs, editor of the Illinois Teacher said, “Recognizing the just moral claim of every child to an education, the legislature of Illinois passed an act to establish and maintain a system of free schools.” Before this 1855 Act establishing free schools, the United States passed an enabling act allowing the states to sell section 16 of each township for use of that township. The money acquired from the sale of section 16 (640 acres) was designated for the school fund. In 1850 Ogle County voted for the township form of government. Before 1850 the county was governed by a board of supervisors. After 1850 part of the responsibilities was transferred to the local townships giving individual townships more local authority. Originally there were 20 townships. D u e to boundary changes we now have a total of 25 townships. For city folks a section of land is one square mile or 640 acres. A surveyed township is composed of 36 sections (36 square miles). Some townships called political townships were larger or smaller than the 36 square mile townships. Originally Oregon and Nashua were political townships with the Rock River serving as the boundary line, not the government surveyed line. Each township determined the number and size of the school districts in their township. The ideal size for a school
was two square miles with the school centrally located. Lincoln Township contained nine school districts, each two square miles. A few students merely had to walk across the road to school. Most had to walk one to two miles. Some farmers allowed the children to shorten the distance by crossing their fields. The farmer would ask them to walk in single file to limit damage to his field. Three elected township trustees were given the responsibility of dividing their township into school districts and selling section 16 of their township which provided funding for school purposes. The school trustees also had the power to improve school houses, procure fuel, furniture, libraries etc. The State of Illinois Education Act of 1855 established a state superintendent of schools. The county superintendent of schools duties were to distribute state funding, to visit as far as possible the schools in his county, and carry out the advice and instructions of the Illinois State Superintendent of Schools. Each school district elected three school directors. Retired teacher Gladys Hersch Hanson stated the following about her board of directors: “The three directors of my school were truly servants. They spent lots of time in the successful operation of their school. They mowed the lawn (after a summer of weed growth) before school started in the fall, hauled in cobs and wood and ordered coal. They spent the district’s money with caution and wisdom, and I looked to them for advice and help.” In 1902 Ogle County adopted a county-wide system of numbering each school district. School District Number 1 was located in the southwest corner of the county weaving
The names of this country school, its teacher, and students are unknown. Anyone with information is asked to call Otto Dick at 815-440-0639.

through the county to the northeast corner to a school named Vogt located in Monroe Township. Vogt was numbered School District Number 177.
After 1902 some school districts were combined, added, or ceased to operate. Pine Rock District Number 2 became district 177 under the new numbering system
adopted by Ogle County. The school district in the southwest corner was 1 and the northeast corner 177. Oregon and Nashua
township schools were Oregon, Pleasant Valley, Pleasant Hill, Watertown, Harmony Hill, Nashua, and Daysville.
Oregon Together By Jessie Hafer Oregon Together Do you know what a BHAG is? Neither did Oregon Together participants until the large group gathered for Session 2 on April 18 at the Oregon Coliseum. A BHAG is a Big Hairy Audacious Goal, and that is exactly what the group focused on. More specifically, a BHAG is a long-term goal that would take 10 to 30 years to complete and is written as if it has already been accomplished. After reviewing challenges and assets of the community, participants worked in small groups to brainstorm a variety of goals the community could incorporate into their vision. The big hairy audacious goals included concepts of tourism, passenger rails, being an artist and
entertainment community, being known for its scenic beauty, having a welcoming friendly community, and having a thriving downtown — just to name a few. All of the BHAGs that were created during this process will be voted on during the next session. Voting on the goals and directing efforts towards the most valuable ones within the community will help the large group of participants find focus and a clear vision. Oregon Together has completed two of the five
sessions being facilitated by the Illinois Institute of Rural Affairs at Western Illinois University. While the sessions are long, and the acoustics are not ideal, the hope is to consolidate the process rather than have a drawn out yearlong effort to strategically organize the community. It is evident that after the second session, the group is mobilized and ready to start developing strategies, projects, and plans in the upcoming sessions.

Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department Local police and sheriff’s departments will be holding a Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, April 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The collection events will take place at the Forreston, Mt. Morris, Polo, and Rochelle Police Departments and in Oregon at 501 W. Washington St. across from the Post Office on Ill, 64. The Oregon event will be coordinated by the Oregon Police Department and the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department. These law enforcement departments are working with Lutheran Social Services of Illinois (LSSI), Project LEAD (Leaders Encouraging Abstinence from Drugs), and the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department to participate in the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) National Prescription Take Back Day being held throughout the country. The National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of

Prescription and overthe-counter medications, vitamins, supplements, and pet medications will be accepted. Residents should remove pills from bottles and place them into zip plastic bags. Liquid medications, ointments and creams should be placed in separate bags to prevent spills. Remove prescription labels or black out any personal information on pill bottles and recycle them with your local recycling program. Items which are not accepted in this program are hypodermic needles (sharps), thermometers, hydrogen peroxide, aerosol cans, and medicine from businesses or clinics. Disposal of waste medications down the drain, toilet, or in the trash is undesirable because of the potential for environmental, public health, or groundwater problems.
Prescription drug abuse is also a growing problem in this nation, especially among teens. This program provides convenient, safe disposal options to reduce the risk of medicine being misused. Although the Take Back Day is a one day event, the drop-offs are also available year-round at any of these police departments: Byron, Forreston, Mt. Morris, Oregon, Polo, and Rochelle, during business hours. In addition, the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department has a drop box outside of the new building on First Street in Oregon, which is available 24 hours per day, every day. The Ogle County Waste Medicine Disposal Program is a cooperative effort between local law enforcement agencies and the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department to provide safe and convenient drop-off sites for unwanted, unused or expired medicine. For more information, contact your local police department, the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department, or the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department at 815-732-4020.

Public Voice Reader does not share editorial’s concern Dear Editor, In a recent editorial Sauk Valley Media took issue with the Polo City Council and the Polo Bark Board for their decision to hire Kayla Bergstrom, a convicted embezzler, to a part time position with the city. The decision in Polo seems not to be controversial. It was passed with overwhelming support from council and board members with only one dissenting vote from each group. I trust the decision was made to do what is best for all the parties involved. Objections should have been made before the decision was made. The editorial stated it was concerned about handling of public funds by a convicted embezzler. She handled the job last summer without incident, and the fact that she hadn’t been convicted is irrelevant since she had confessed and
made restitution. I don’t share the editorial concern since the integrity of Kayla has been reestablished by her performance with the job she did last summer and the fact she admitted her indiscretion and has made restitution. With the current budget crisis in state government, the fact that many low and moderate income people are being adversely affected, would more than warrant the attention of the editorial board rather than spending time on a purely local and relatively minor issue by comparison. The issue of public funds seemed to be the sticking point in the editorial. There are far more important issues than money. Currently a former wrestling coach, state legislator, and Speaker of the House of Representatives, has been convicted of banking irregularities and awaiting sentence. His conviction on these charges stem from a fa more egregious indiscretion that, fortunately for him, the statute of limitation has
expired. He was attempting to keep from the public his violation of the public trust. This prominent Republican has violated the trust of students, parents, his constituents, the state of Illinois, elected officials at the federal level and the Republican Party. All we have heard from him, since his conviction, is a plea for mercy since he is old and in poor health. The question for the editorial staff is who would you trust, Kayla or Dennis? James M. Gorman Grand Detour
Questions need for a new Ogle County jail Dear Editor, Regarding the article in the local paper of a new jail for $28 million, approximately, if the board wishes to pay for a such a facility, personally, they may do so. The county does not need a new facility particularly in the poor economy and with
the USA and the state being broke, bankrupt. Taxpayers, who have jobs are taxed beyond endurance already. Taxpayers have been taxed and overtaxed with property values going gone but taxes always increase. There is no way anyone should consider a new jail at this time. I must say, what kind of incompetent board members do we have? I am sure they are not incompetent, but let us be realistic and not dream. Nevertheless if members of the board are so well off and are highly paid, perhaps we should review and cut down their salary by a fair percentage. Schools, senior centers, libraries, and thousands of other activities have been affected. People do not realize how much we have become dependent upon government. People are taxed beyond the point of bankruptcy while so many are unemployed and unfortunately there are many who “make hay while the sun shines.” To the board: please

Dear Editor, On behalf of the board and staff of the Mt. Morris Public Library, I would like to thank the community for its generosity. On April 16, we hosted an open house to celebrate the library’s 85th year as a tax supported institution. We invited the public to join us for refreshments, and to look at our historical display. We had a nice turn out considering how the nice the weather was that day. Many of our guests gave us birthday gifts which will be used to purchase supplies we use everyday. Others gave us supply items that were on our wish list. We are truly blessed to be a part of such a caring community. Thank you! Sincerely, Mary Cheatwood Director Mt. Morris Public Library
these donations we couldn’t have the fundraiser. Local businesses and groups also supported this annual affair by displaying and announcing information. The Oregon Fire Department and the Harvard State Bank used their large street signs to display information for the sale. Restaurants and stores also allowed bright signs in their locations, so customers could read about the event. The Oregon Republican Reporter and other newspapers ran articles to inform the public about the
Chana School Museum’s annual sale. Radio stations and media services also helped to announce the event. Thanks to their support the public could mark their calendars for the fundraiser. Even with the rain, sleet, snow, and mighty wind this year’s event was a huge success. The Chana School Museum is totally maintained and run by volunteers and donations. If you would like to become a part of this group of volunteers please call 815732-2447.
Dear Editor, On behalf of The Sinnissippi Foundation I would like to thank all of our sponsors, donating artists, silent auction donors, participants, volunteers and others who made the 12th Annual Expressions Art Sale and Reception a success. It’s a long list of individuals and organizations who played a part and shows how no one can ever achieve such success alone, but can do much with the help of their community members. Thanks also to everyone who participated in Expressions by purchasing art, a silent auction item, and attending the reception.
Guest Column Volunteers are key for Chana School sale By Connie Stauffer Sale Coordinator The Chana School Foundation recently had its annual rummage sale to benefit the Chana School Museum at the Oregon Coliseum. This annual event like everything associated with the Chana School Museum is
organized and accomplished by big-hearted volunteers. Volunteers come in all sizes and ages, but each gives 100 percent to the cause. This year’s crew of more than 20 adult volunteers quickly worked to set up the Oregon Coliseum, organized the donated items, helped buyers with their treasures, and then packed and cleaned up at the end of the sale event. A special thank you goes to Ray Gruber and Gary Stauffer who spent hours delivering large pieces to and from the coliseum and also Shirley Battin, who

Their names are Melinda Egley, Connor Young, and Skylar Carlson. These teens are proud to serve their community and know that they can make a difference. Each volunteer is priceless to the Chana School Foundation’s mission to “preserve our local history”.
Volunteers work together for all kinds of activities from fundraising to offering programs for children. Thank you to all the ladies and gentlemen for working as a team to benefit the Chana School Museum. Oregon is a great community. The City of Oregon shows its support to the Chana School Museum by allowing the use of the Coliseum each year for this benefit for the school. We are also blessed with citizens in the area who continue to provide items for the annual sale. Without

Sasscer wins BuildA-Birdhouse contest Lily Sasscer was awarded for the Best Functional Birdhouse in the Oregon Park District hosts a BuildA-Birdhouse Contest. “This is a perfect winter project for all ages. Over the years we have had some incredibly intricate and large houses entered in the contest in various categories: functional, “green” or decorative by both youth and adults. “We really love the functional houses as they end up in the community parks not only for us to enjoy, but to be used by a variety of species of birds,” said Debbie Leffelman, event
coordinator. The contest is sponsored each year by the Oregon Park District with the help of Merlin’s Greenhouse and Flowers and Anderson Feed Company. Both businesses not only help with judging, but also provide prizes for the winners. For more information on the Build-A-Birdhouse contest, contact Debbie@ oregonpark.org or stop in at Nash Recreation Center.

Merge Day was part of OHS’ Open Program on April 21 From A1 “That’s how we learn, is through powerful presentations,” Tilton said. Some of the administrators and faculty were taken aback. “I think I even underestimated the emotions we’d experience today,” said Kip Crandall, principal of David L. Rahn Junior High School. Counselors and social workers were alerted, too, of the fallout that was to be expected. “We wanted them to know that if there was anyone who seemed like they needed to talk, they should be available,” Tilton said. When students returned to the junior high, they went straight to homeroom for 35 minutes of debriefing. “That’s that family-type atmosphere, where they can talk about what they felt today,” Crandall said. “The most important thing is that this can’t be a one-daywonder assembly. We’ve got socio-emotional goals in our school improvement plan. We’re going to bring this to the forefront periodically.” Crandall said students were encouraged to seek out the counselor if they needed assistance beyond the debriefing. The assembly was followed by Merge Day, the Open Program community project of 15-year-old sophomore Gylian Finch. It grouped eighth-graders and freshmen together for leadership
“I think I even underestimated the emotions we’d experience today,” said Kip Crandall, principal of David L. Rahn Junior High School. activities – “icebreakers” she called them – through the afternoon, and also gave the incoming freshmen a taste of the A-B-C lunch format. The smiles were an interesting juxtaposition to the tears from the assembly. “When I think about it now, it’s perfect, because it strikes that balance between sadness and happiness, all in one day,” Finch said. Open Program and Spanish teacher Kim Radostitis, who also created the school’s freshman transition program Hawks Take Flight, had a vision to do a Merge Day-like event over the summertime. “[Gylian] said, ‘No, I think we can make this bigger, and do it during the school year,’” Radostits said, “which I was superexcited about. As a freshman teacher, I’m so excited I get to meet my students for next year, play games and build relationships, so there’s a familiar face when they come in next year.” “If we did it in the summer, some people will be gone, or on vacation,” Finch said. “If we do it at the start of the
school year, they’re already here. I think this is going to be great for them. They’re going to figure out that we’re not as scary as they thought we were. They’ll be more comfortable in school with peers they’ve met before.” Before the activities, such as human scavenger hunts, caterpillar races and games of feetball, Finch was treated to a spoonful of tough love from Smalley midway through his presentation. Even though she plays premier club volleyball and makes great grades, her circle of friends knows no bounds, she said. “I hang out with some athletes, but also Open Program friends, and lots of random people – I don’t exclude,” she said. “If I see someone in the hallway, I smile. I say, ‘Hi.’” Smalley knelt on the gym floor in front of her. “Gylian, wouldn’t it be nice if 15, 20 years from now, you could look at your kids and say, ‘There was a group of kids who said they were going to take on the whole world and stop bullying?’” he said. Her eyes fixed on his. “It was really sad to think about it, and to think that something like what he went through could happen to a family member, or a close friend,” Finch said. “That was powerful. Knowing that he got my attention, all of our attention, is great.”

40th Art Carlson Hawk Classic meet is Friday By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Outside of the 1A state meet, the most competitive track and field meet for small schools is the Art Carlson Hawk Classic which will be held this Friday in Oregon. Three years ago, five of the top six team finishers downstate came from the Classic. “Anyone interested in track should be there, if just for the hurdle races alone, with (Dylan) Binon of E-P, (Konner) Wilson of Oregon and AJ Christensen,” PoloForreston coach Ryan Deets said. The team title is wide open with both P-F and Oregon contending. A new entrant is 2A Rochelle with star quartermiler Colfay Pointer. Add Rockford Christian, Winnebago, Erie-Prophetstown, Lena-Winslow and Sterling Newman, with sprinter Brady Rude to the mix and it will be a wide-open chase for the team title. “The points should be spread out and we have as good of a chance as anyone,” Oregon coach Jim Spratt said. Spratt sees throwers Kole Mowry and John Ghibellini, along with middle distance runner Ian Hussung and Wilson as the best chances to score high individually.
The Hawks will also load up their trademark event – the 1,600-meter relay. P-F used two freshmen and two sophomores and ran 3:33 in the 1,600 relay last week at Rock Falls and will be one of many teams chasing Oregon in that event . “We have an awesome future with those guys,” Deets said. P-F will be the favorite in the 400 relay and depending where Deets uses Gavin Fuchs, may be the unit to beat in the 800 relay. Fuchs could run the open 400 instead. Brooks Grobe will have a showdown in the sprints with 9-time state medalist Brady Rude of Newman. “We’re a little banged up (Brad Cavanaugh, Joe Bowers, Hunter Daws,” Deets said. “The key is to get healthy by Friday.” The meet will also serve as a gathering of the elite track programs from the Big Northern, Three Rivers, and NUIC. P-F comes in on a roll, having won the Byron Relays and Rock Falls Invite, while Oregon edged Dixon, E-P and P-F to win the Gebhardt-Worley Meet. “You’ll be seeing a lot of future state placers on Friday,” Spratt said. Field events start at 4 p.m. and running events at 5:45 p.m. at Oregon’s Kole Mowry hands the baton to Brayton Finch during a relay at a triangular meet at LandersLanders-Loomis Field.

Lady Hawks fall to Byron 7-5 at Oregon Park West By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Over the years, Oregon and Byron have had many close softball games. Last Thursday’s contest at Park West was no exception, as Byron held on for a 7-5 win. Earlier in the season the Lady Tigers nipped Oregon 3-2.
“I don’t know,” Oregon coach Jay Holley said. “Maybe, we’ll get another crack at them in the postseason, but it will much different with a subsectional.” Like other sports this year, softball will be seeded via a sub-sectional. Oregon will be hosting a regional with yet to be decided opponents.
In the second inning, Byron jumped out to a 3-0 lead after the first two batters reached base on errors. It was a repeat in the fifth inning, as two of the scores came on batters reaching base on errors. “It’s tough to win when you let teams have more than three outs,” Holley said. “Lately, we’ve struggled
fundamentally to keep thing intact. Definitely, the errors are hurting us.” With how closely contested the Byron-Oregon games are, the six errors piled up by Oregon were a key factor in the final outcome. Without them, it likely would have been a Lady Hawk victory. Oregon did come back to tie the game, 3-3 after three
innings. In the second inning, Bella Holley and Hailey White scored after being hit by pitches to reach base. In the third, a walk to Ally Bartling eventually brought her around. Though Byron did not have any errors, Oregon capitalized on pitching miscues.

Lady Hawks hosted two track invitationals in the same week By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecountynews.com
Other than the post season, last week was the most significant of the season for the Oregon girls track and field team, hosting invitationals on April 19 and April 23. It seemed fitting for the home team to win what appears to be the final Landers-Loomis meet. Oregon scored 218 points to edge Pecatonica-Durand (204) and Dixon (201) in the A-B-C scored event. However, the meet has lost much of its luster over its 45-year history, with only five schools remaining after Dakota, Byron and Winnebago pulled out this year. “This particular meet and its format has faded in popularity,” Oregon athletic director Mike Lawton said. “We want to keep the name, because of its importance
The Lady Hawks pounded the ball decently, racking up eleven hits on Kelsey Thatcher. Unfortunately, most of those were wasted. “We’re leaving too many runners on second and third,” Holley said. “That’s hard on the team and the pitcher.” Trailing 7-3 in the bottom of the sixth inning with two outs, Anni Wilson managed to drive in Aleah Wight and pinch runner Bailey Shaffer with a single up the middle. “Anni Wilson has went from No. 8 to No. 3 in the line-up,” Holley said. “She’s has a .610 average and has worked hard to get where she’s at.” Wilson had two singles and a doubles and Wight had a pair of singles. Bartling, Henson, Bicksler, Holley, White and Abby Sgro also had hits. Emily Perkins went the distance on the mound, striking out three and allowing seven hits. The stat sheet had her for no earned runs out of the seven scored by Byron. “Emily was great. She keeps the ball away from the hitter,” Holley said. Bartling made a diving infield catch in the seventh inning to stop a Byron scoring opportunity, but the Lady Hawks could not get the bats going in their half of the inning and Byron escaped with the 7-5 win. “We play hard and battle to the end,” Holley said. “And, the girls continue to work very hard.”
to our community.” Originally started in 1971 on a grass track, the Landers-Loomis Relays was a fresh-soph boys meet with the girls portion added in the late 1990s. It has sense morphed to a boys jayvee/girls varsity and from a relay meet to A-B-C. Frank Loomis and Sherman Landers were Olympic caliber athletes that set all kinds of state and national high school records 100 years ago at Oregon. “In the back of the room where I taught math, there were a bunch of their state trophies that they won from all over the Midwest,” said Joe Mortimer, Oregon track coach from 1969-72. “People didn’t know about them, so I decided to start a meet and name it after them.” Even with the meet eliminated, the memory of the two track stars will live on.

Hopkins leads Lady Hawks From B1 Loomis moniker for 2017. As they have all year, Oregon was led by Kenzie Skoumal and Abi Hopkins. Skoumal’s times of 13.59 in the 100 meters and 28.39 in the 200 were the best among all competitors, as were the 17.57 in the 100 hurdles and 54.33 in the 300 hurdles by Hopkins. “After knee and shin problems last year, Skoumal is healthy and running fast,” Oregon coach Nick Scheiderman said. “As a freshman, Hopkins is starting to understand the hurdles.” The Lady Hawks were not tops in any other events, but garnered plenty of second and thirds.
“To win this was totally unexpected,” Scheiderman said. “We’re a young team trying to get PRs and improve. For example, our 1,600 relay is all freshmen and they improved 11 seconds in a week.” On Saturday, the competition at the 12-team Oregon Invitational got much tougher and the Lady Hawks struggled to earn many places. Decatur St. Teresa, which made the 350mile round trip to Oregon, won with 133 points. Byron was next with 90, followed by Rochelle (79) and Winnebago (78). Oregon took 10th with 16 points. “It’s great meet with firstclass facilities,” said Decatur
St. Teresa Coach Todd Vohland. “It’s a chance to see teams we normally don’t and spend overnight together.” Freshman Abi Hopkins scored 15 of Oregon’s 16 points with a first place in the 100-meter hurdles (17.39), fourth in the triple jump (32-3), and sixth in the 300 hurdles (53.85). “A week ago, we tried her in the triple jump and found she’s pretty darn good,” Scheiderman said. “We’d still like to use her in the pole vault and relays.” Ellen Reckamp took sixth in the throws for Oregon’s other place finish. Skoumal, Oregon’s top runner, was missing due to college placement testing.

Female runner had to sneak in to race in 1966 By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com The celebrated Boston Marathon was last week and it also marked the 50th anniversary of one of the most chauvinistic days in the race’s history. In 1966, a female had the audacity to sneak into the field at Boston and attempt to run the full 26.2 miles. The school of thought at the time was that women were not physiologically capable of running that far. We can laugh at the folly now, but 50 year ago, sexual
Sports Column prejudices against the athletic ability of females were the norm. One of the most arcane, but unfortunately most powerful sports associations was the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union). Besides treating female track athletes like secondclass citizens, the AAU sanctioned the Boston Marathon because their regulations prohibited women from not racing more than 1.5 miles. Having her entry rejected two months before the April 1966 race because she was female; Roberta Gibb knew her only way to run the Boston Marathon was to sneak in. That’s what she did. Hiding in a flower patch near the start, Gibb joined the field shortly after the gun
went off. Crowds at Boston were incredulous that a woman was running such a sacred, male-only event. Word quickly spread and Gibb won over her fellow runners and fans lined along the course cheering her on. In was a case of the common folk literally shouting down the authority. Meet officials were displeased that Gibb ran their race, but the grassroots support Gibb had carried her through to the finish. Her time was 3:21, good for 123rd out of 415 men. Shocking, just shocking. Not only had she disapproved the theory that women could not run more than a couple miles, but she beat most of the men at their own game. That didn’t change the chauvinists’ minds about
letting females into the marathon. It would take the enactment of Title IX in 1972 to open the door for that to happen. In 1972, eight females took part in the officially sanctioned Boston Marathon for both sexes. Fifty years later, nearly half of all runners at Boston are women. It all started with Roberta Gibb unknowingly changing the attitude of us men. That wasn’t even her intention for running the race. Far from being an activist for women’s rights, she just wanted the enjoyment of competing in it. In this column, the ills of high school sports are occasionally explored. But, the positives are also looked at. Without a doubt, the
Andy Colbert
greatest thing ever to happen to prep sports in the past 50 years are young women having the opportunity to equally pursue athletic endeavors with their male counterparts. There is nothing else that
even comes close. It’s too bad it took us so long to get there. While we’re on the subject of greatness in women, let’s acknowledge two mothers from Oregon that have devoted endless hours in chronicling the Hawk sports year with their photos. That would be Jaime Finch and Angie Newman. They are seemingly everywhere, taking thousands and thousands of photos that are later posted to social media. These women are exceptionally good at what they do and their dedication to the Oregon school district knows no bounds. Thank you Jaime and Angie for being ambassadors for Oregon. Your hard work is appreciated well past the boundaries of the district.

Exelon mails emergency information brochure Exelon Generation, owner of the nation’s largest nuclear power fleet, recently mailed more than 23,000 public information emergency planning brochures to residents and businesses within 10 miles of its Byron nuclear facility. The brochure contains facts about general emergency preparedness, including reception center locations, evacuation routes, a map, and a list of emergency alert
broadcast stations. The brochure includes a special needs card to be completed and returned by people who may have a special transportation or other need. “Residents around Byron Station have never had to use these brochures, but they are a good resource in the unlikely event of an emergency at our facility,” said Byron Station Site Vice President
Mark Kanavos in a press release. According to the press release from Exelon Generation, its nuclear facilities are robust. They have multiple physical barriers and layers of backup safety systems to ensure safe operations, even in extreme events such as floods, tornadoes and earthquakes. Exelon Generation has dedicated teams of emergency planning experts at each of its nuclear
facilities who work with state, county and local emergency management officials in the development, maintenance, training and testing of emergency response plans, the press release said. Federal law requires nuclear operating companies to develop emergency response plans for their nuclear energy facilities and to ensure evacuation plans are in place.
State and county agencies often use the plans for non-nuclear related emergencies such as extreme weather events or fires. Anyone within the 10-mile radius of the three facilities who did not receive a brochure in the mail may download a copy at: www. exeloncorp.com/byron, or join in on Twitter and You Tube.

Man charged with reckless homicide following 2014 fatal A Byron man has been charged with reckless homicide in connection with a vehicle crash that claimed the life of his wife a year and a half ago. Scott Young, 34, formerly of Lindenwood, was arrested on April 22 on a warrant.
He appeared in court before Ogle County Judge Kathleen Kauffman, who set his bond at $10,000 on the Class 2 felony. Young posted bond and is scheduled to appear in court again on June 1. The arrest stems from the
death of Jody L. Young, 39, as the result of the crash on Sept. 20, 2014 near the Ogle-Winnebago County line. Illinois State Police said Jody Young was pronounced dead at Rockford Memorial Hospital, where she was
transported by Byron ambulance. She was a passenger in a sports utility vehicle driven by Scott Young, who was injured in the crash. Two more passengers, Chad R. Reiniche, 30, and Megan K. Reiniche, 27,
both of Rockford, were also injured. According to the police report, the SUV was eastbound on Severson Road near the intersection with Weldon Road when it drove off the left side of the roadway, entered the left
ditch, and struck a tree. Scott Young was ticketed for driving under the influence of alcohol and improper lane usage, but according to court documents those charges were subsequently dismissed on a motion by the state.

Love, Your Family
Thursday April 28, 2016 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Do what comes naturally. Set the standard and follow through. Opportunity and personal growth are highlighted. Hard work will allow you to live your dream. A steady pace will ensure success. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Don’t share personal information or trust others to take care of your affairs. It’s important that you stay on top of things, with an alternative strategy in place as a backup. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you share your ideas and concerns, you will make a difference. A unique opportunity will develop that will improve your home and family life. Don’t fear change. Be fair, but firm. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Make a move that will change your status or position. The choices you make can alter the way you feel and look, and contribute to a healthier, more efficient lifestyle. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A business trip or meeting will help you persuade others to do and see things your way. Your
greatest opportunities will come outside your immediate circle or home. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- The changes you make will not please everyone, but they will bring you more confidence and help you stabilize your life. Don’t look back when you should be moving forward. Romance is encouraged. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Open up and share your ideas with someone who understands you. The feedback you receive will encourage you to develop a partnership that will bring out the best in both parties. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Make changes at home that will add to your comfort. Putting your personal touch behind your plans, along with hard work, will be satisfying and a good investment.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- When it comes to work, money and maintaining your reputation, you need to set high standards. Don’t donate to outside causes when you should be funneling cash into your home and family. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Draw up and negotiate contracts and deal with personal financial matters diligently. Don’t let anyone interfere in your affairs. Don’t feel guilty if an opportunity comes your way. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your emotions will cause problems if you don’t listen to reason. You are better off taking time out to do something physically challenging to ward off anxiety. Offer affection, not discord.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t make assumptions or jump to conclusions. Listen, observe and discuss situations calmly in order to come up with workable solutions that benefit everyone involved. ©2016 UFS
