District’s administrative costs are questioned Staff questions need for nine administrators By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com Representatives from the teachers union, district staff, and community voiced their concerns over administrative costs in the Oregon School District Monday night. “It really hurts me to think that we have nine administrators,” said Donna Gruber, a tax payer and former employee in the
district. “That is an awful lot for a district our size. Some things, I think, are legal. Do you check your ethics at the door? What is ethically right for this community, and what is legally right are two different things.” Gruber made her comments during a public hearing called to waive the limitation of administrative costs. She said the district paying these administrators when they can not pay bus drivers is not right. “What are your ethics and what do you want for this community?” Gruber said. “You need to really think
about it.” The school board needs to take a look into why the district has nine administrators, she said. “The person that helps the children is the teacher and support staff,” Gruber said. “This is Oregon. This is not Chicago. This is not Byron. We do not have tons of money, but we need to make every dollar count. This counts when you are in the trenches. It does not when you are sitting behind a desk.” The crowd of 30 gathered at the school district office for the hearing gave Gruber Turn to A2
More than 30 people attended a public hearing at the Oregon Community Unit School District 220 District Office Monday night. They came to hear about the administrative costs and to weigh in on what they think the district should do with administrative salaries. Photo by Chris Johnson

Vietnam war dogs remembered by new sculpture Bronze sculpture cast by Art Casting of Illinois, Inc. By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com A Vietnam veteran’s dog will be remembered forever through a bronze sculpture that was cast in Oregon. While the sculpture War Dogs by Renee Bemis, Saint Charles, did not use a specific soldier’s or dog’s likeness, many elements link the sculpture to Johnny Mayo, Columbia, South Carolina, and his dog Kelly. “I supplied the canteens, the ruck, the harness, the uniform, and the weapon so the artist could use them,” said Mayo. “The artist put my dog’s ID number in the ear. He was 819-Alpha.”
These items were used by Mayo from 1969-1971 when he was in Vietnam as an Army scout dog handler. “I kept my original harness and leash for the dog. No one else had possession of this until I shipped them to Renee. It was scary to let them go,” he said. Once Renee finished the sculpture, the items were safely returned to Mayo. Seeing the completed sculpture Tuesday morning at Art Casting of Illinois, Inc., Oregon, brought back memories of Vietnam for Mayo. “My first dog was killed fourth day out,” he said. “Kelly I had the rest of my time.” When Mayo left Vietnam in 1971 he never saw Kelly again. “Tragically the dog teams in Vietnam were rotated,” he said. “When we would come back, Kelly Veteran Johnny Mayo, Columbia, South Carolina, was would take a new handler and it in Oregon Tuesday morning to see the completed War Turn to A11 Dogs bronze sculpture by Saint Charles artist Renee
The Ogle County Board voted to spend more than $600,000 Tuesday on real estate, maintenance projects, and a jail study. The money will come from the Long Range Planning Fund, the revenues of which come from the host fees paid by garbage collection firms to dump refuse in the landfills within the county. The fees currently amount to approximately $3 million per year. Following a 20-minute closed session, the board voted 20-3 to offer $190,000 to purchase a building in Rochelle from Rochelle Community Hospital. Board members Lyle Hopkins, Polo, Pat Saunders, Polo, and Lee Meyers, Byron, cast the no votes. Nic Bolin, Holcomb, did not attend the meeting. Board chairman Kim Gouker, Byron, said the county currently rents the basement of the building at 510 Lincoln Highway to use as its Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Rochelle Clinic is in the upstairs but will likely move out in the spring when a new building is completed. Gouker said the hospital put the building up for sale because of the facilities that are under construction. “They can stay as long as they like,” he said. “But once they move out we are looking at moving the health department clinic that’s in Rochelle to that location.” Probation offices already located in Rochelle may also move into the building, he said. The moves hinge on whether or not hospital officials accept the county’s offer. Gouker said the health department currently pays $43,000 annually to rent space in Rochelle, and the probation department pays $7,500 in annual rent. The board also approved a bid of $97,115 from N Trak Group LLC, Loves Park, to demolish the old sheriff’s building at 103 Jefferson St., Oregon. Architect Guy Gelhausen said he expects the project to be completed early next year after asbestos and an underground tank are removed. A bid for $339,848 from Stenstrom Excavation & Blacktop Group, Rockford, was approved to pave six parking lots owned by the county. Gehlhausen said because asphalt plants are closing for the winter, except for some Turn to A11

The documents also accuse Brashaw of using the woman’s credit card to obtain goods, having a value
between $300 and $10,000, for her own benefit. The first two offenses occurred between Jan. 12 and July 16 of this year, and the last occurred between May 9 and July 9 of this year, according to the documents. Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle said his department began its investigation on July 23. Brashaw was arrested in September. She is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 28.
Teacher’s union, staff question administrative cost From A1 a round of applause. Also voicing their concerns were representatives of the teacher’s union. “I urge you to find a better solution to the district’s financial situation than shifting costs,� said Rhonda Himert, a third grade teacher. “Do not cut teachers, aids, and programs for children.� Himert said staff
understands the district faces financial challenges, but cuts to staff should not be considered. “There have already been significant cuts to teachers and aides,� she said. “Other cuts are rumored for next year.� Superintendent Tom Mahoney said Monday’s hearing was required due to a larger increase in
administrative expenditures than allowed. He said the increase in administrative expenses were 15 percent this year. This included 1.7 percent raises — not a 50 percent increase that was rumored. Mahoney said a portion of his salary could go into the transportation fund, and that was budgeted. However, the state will not reimburse the

district for this money. “Our administrative costs are the second lowest in the county behind Meridian,� said Mahoney. “We are in the bottom 25 percent in the state for total spending per pupil.� Being in the bottom 25 percent allows the school board to waive the limitation for increasing administrative expenditures, he said. Out of 385 community unit school districts in the state, Oregon ranks 344th in administrative costs per pupil. Oregon spends $130.20 per pupil on administrative costs, Meridian (Stillman
Valley), spends $97.63, Polo spends $194.49, Byron spends $380.43, and Forrestville Valley (Forreston) spends $394.74. These numbers were provided by Mahoney during the hearing. Mahoney said part of his salary can come from transportation since he works on contracts and has direct involvement with transportation. He also said other administrative salaries could come from transportation. “I am doing work in all of our funds,� said Mahoney. “This can allow the education fund to be used for
education. We are trying to balance our funds.� School Board President Ed Smith said the board needs to look at salaries and decide on the budget. “We need to figure out where to budget,� Smith said. Smith told the crowd at the hearing that the entire board is available to talk to at any time outside of the meetings. He said using transportation funds for administrative costs is allowed by law and districts throughout the state use the fund for salaries. The board approved the waiver.

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.

Heckman, Lowden wrote tributes to Native Americans 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 Copy number 290 of the proceedings at the unveiling of Lorado Taft’s “Black Hawk” is one of an edition of 600 copies, printed from type, on Holland Van Gelder Zonen hand-made paper. Copywright in 1912 by Wallace Heckman. Heckman owned the property where Lowden Memorial State Park is now located. This 106-page bound booklet is located at the Ogle County Historical Society. The title page, To the Cliff Dwellers. From the Foreword by Wallace Heckman “Before it took definite shape this stately figure, representative of a bygone race, haunted this spot, to him its real over-lord, for whose pedestal this crag of rock was made.” “The limestone bluff, forming the east bank of the Rock River, has a height, where the statue stands, of 200 feet, and slopes downward to the north and eastwardly away from it. The figure rises fortyeight feet above its natural base. It overlooks the town of Oregon, Illinois, located midway between Rockford and Dixon. This part of the river
between the latter cities, a territory some forty miles in extent, has, in the most marked degree of any, the characteristics which caused the Indian tribes to name the river Sinnissippi (Rock River). From the site of the statue the bluffs, river-bends, islands and forest make it a natural center of a diversified topography not common in the level, fertile corn belt of northern Illinois.” What a wonderful description of this area! “Ganymede Spring, at the foot of the bluff was so named by Margaret Fuller, the literary editor of the New York Tribune. On a visit here in 1843 she wrote ‘Farewell To Rock River Valley.’ The people of Oregon, out of hospitality to the brilliant transcendentalist, named the island of primal forest, which the statue commands, Margaret Fuller Island.” A lingering representative of the Sac-Fox “For here the footprints of his tribe are fresh; the poles of his tepee recently stood; his graves still remind us of him. Here, too, after centuries of resolutely defended retreat, at bay at last, the Indian realized the hopelessness of the conflict and surveyed reluctantly, but with unconquered spirit, these rich, diversified, smiling possessable valleys once his. Here his silent forest has been invaded in a lifetime by our noisy manufacturing center.” At this dedication Oregon was a manufacturing center with Schiller Piano Company, Etnyres, Carnation, Oregon
Foundry, and several more. “Here, the white man and the Indian confronted each other — two adverse destinies. They could not live each severally his life in his own way. Here could be either the solitary hunting ground or all invading cities: the fishing pool or the factory site; the prairie game pasture or the cultivated farm; the lone tepee or crowded skyscrapers; the trail or the railroad, but not both.” “History is at last awarding justice to the vanquished. Now art approves the verdict and pays his tribute to a race which did not lie, which kept its treaties, valued friendship; scorned greed; could be extinguished, but not conquered.” Conclusion by Frank Campers from Chicago and their dogs hike near the Black Hawk statue on Columbus Lowden Day weekend. Photo by Otto Dick “I just wish to say one word, if I may. I know that I voice the sentiment of all who live in this vicinity when I say that we feel ourselves under everlasting obligation for what Mr. Taft has done. Someday I trust our children may be able to say that this statue, erected on as beautiful a site as exists anywhere beneath the sun, was the beginning of an American Barbizon.” My paraphrasing Mr. Heckman’s Forward would be an injustice. His description and historical sketch of this area enhances my appreciation of growing up and continuing to live in the Rock River Valley. Their Approximately 500 campers spent Columbus Day weekend at Lowden State Park, wording is somewhat above where the Black Hawk statue is located. These campers were from the Mt. Morris area.

• The FOP offers the following Halloween safety tips: Children should only go trick-or-treating with a responsible adult. Be sure to follow all local ordinances regarding trick-or-treating times, ages, and areas. If you can’t accompany your younger children as they trick-or-treat, make sure at least one, and preferably more, responsible adults go with them. Set a curfew for the children and make sure they understand how important it is to arrive back home on time. • Instruct children that they should never go into a stranger’s house or car unless their parents or other trusted adults are with them and say it’s OK. They should never go anywhere with stranger, and if a stranger tries to make them go somewhere they should scream as loudly as possible and run to safety as quickly as they can. • Make sure kids know how to safely cross streets – look in both directions, and
a tree! All activities will be available from 1–6 p.m. The evening will wrap up with a costume contest and a final performance from Serendipity. The festival will also include a celebration of Camp McCormick’s 75th anniversary. Cost is $15 per person at the gate; free for children, ages 4 and younger. Food will be available for cash purchase between 3–6 p.m. To register in advance, call 815-962-5591, Ext. 7110, or email registration@ girlscoutsni.org.

Stay safe when heading out for trick-or-treating The Illinois Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) is offering tips to keep trick-ortreaters and their escorts safe during Halloween. “Illinois’ law enforcement officers want to make sure the only scares during Halloween season are the make-believe kind,” said Illinois FOP President Chris Southwood. “By following some simple but effective safety tips, kids and their parents can have a safe and enjoyable trick-or-treating experience.”
performance. The band is best known for combining euphonic vocal tones with pop music through current and time-tested tunes. The festival will feature family-friendly activities including a corn maze, pumpkin painting, and costume contest for all ages. Camp activities such as archery, crate-stacking, and indoor swimming will also be available. Participants can go apple tree bobbing—instead of bobbing in a bucket of water, the apple is hanging from
only use crosswalks or welllit street corners. Tell them to not cut through back alleys and fields and to stay in well-lit areas with lots of people around. • Know the route your children will take while trick-or-treating if you are not going with them. Have them check in at set times, either by phone or by stopping back by your residence. • Make sure your children have costumes that are fire retardant, contain reflective strips or material, do not obstruct their vision or movement, and that any props that depict knives or other sharp objects are made of a dull, flexible material. Have at least one flashlight per group of trick-or-treaters. Try and make each child’s costume unique in some way so they can be easily spotted. • Serve your children a filling meal before they trick-or-treat so they won’t be tempted to eat the treats before they get back home. Carefully examine all of the treats before you let your children handle or consume them. • Several days before trick-or-treating, check the local and state sex offender websites to see if there are any sex offenders living in your area. If there are, make sure your children avoid those homes. • Remind children that it is wrong to vandalize property or hurt animals.

• To lessen the chance of allergic reactions, try any makeup products on a small area of a child’s arm several days before trick-or-treating to see if they have any reaction. • If you cannot accompany them, having the children carry a cell phone lets them keep in touch and the phones also contain a GPS chip to help locate lost children. • Drivers, don’t use a cell phone or text while driving and do not drive if you are impaired. Pay close attention while driving, especially at crosswalks, intersections, the side of the road, and by parked cars. Drive below the posted speed limit in residential areas, do not pass vehicles that have stopped in the road, and pull off the road in a safe spot and turn on your emergency flashers when picking up or dropping off children.

need to be professionals, just love to sing and able to read music. In 2014, more than 50 singers from Ogle, Lee and Winnebago counties comprised the vocal chorus. This year’s cantata is entitled, Bethlehem’s Child. Using a blend of original and familiar music, composers Lloyd Larson and Victor Johnson collaborated on this telling of the Christmas story from the vantage point that God’s ways are not typically our ways. Featuring all of the hallmarks of popular cantatas, from beloved carols and a scripturally-based narration to opportunities for audience participation, this
work also features an upbeat spiritual movement, and male and female solos. Admission to the December concert is free, although monetary donations will be accepted to support local food pantries Loaves and Fish Food Pantry, Mount Morris, and Lifeline, Oregon. The free community concert is sponsored by the Disciples United Methodist Church, 815-734-4853, Mt. Morris Church of the Brethren, 815-734-4573, and Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, Mt. Morris, 815734-6354. For more information contact the producer, Nelson Miller, at nelson1013@ comcast.net.

Eat smart to stay healthy Mindful eating is important in achieving better health, but many people don’t understand what mindful means, said a University of Illinois Extension nutrition and wellness educator. “Mindfulness is usually associated with meditation and stress relief, but it can also be a powerful tool when choosing what we eat, how we’re eating, and how our choices affect our health and our environment. “Let’s take a closer look at how we can apply mindfulness to our everyday eating behaviors,” said educator Kristin Bogdonas. “To be mindful is to be aware so let’s be aware of ‘who, what, when, where, why, and how’ we are eating, she said. “Why are you eating? Are you hungry? Are you experiencing stress? Are you sad? Are you celebrating? Keep a food journal and
watch for trends in your eating habits. “You may discover that you eat more high-fat, highcalorie foods when you are stressed. If you’re aware of this trend, you’ll be able to look for other ways to relieve stress that don’t involve energy-dense foods that may ultimately lead to weight gain,” Bogdonas said. She suggest being aware of the following questions. What are you eating? Pay attention to food labels, ingredient lists, and sourcing. Avoid foods, such as refined sugars and carbohydrates, that trigger a stress response in your body. If refined sugars and carbs are listed in the first five ingredients, find something else. And opt for quality over quantity, she advised. When are you eating? Avoid skipping meals if possible. Instead try to evenly space meals and snacks
throughout the day, which is easier on the body’s digestive system, she noted. Who is growing your food, and where does it come from? Several factors affect nutrition content such as variety, production method, postharvest handling, storage, and transportation. Local food is usually higher in nutrition content simply because it has traveled a shorter distance and the varieties chosen are for taste, not shelf stability, she said. How are you eating? Engage the five senses and slow down to really appreciate and savor the experience. Eating is very sensual and perhaps the greatest weapon against disease, she said. Bogdonas said that mindful eating takes practice and should be carried out every day for best results. “I like this Zen proverb: When walking, walk. When eating, eat,” she said.

Oregon Park District to host Halloween activities The Oregon Park District is ready for Halloween with lots of fun activities for the entire family….pets, too. The Halloween events kick off with the Howl’oween Canine Costume Contest on Tuesday, Oct. 27. Bring dogs dressed in their Halloween costume for the doggie parade at 5:30 p.m. Judging will follow with
Volunteers are needed for CASA Dear Editor, As the member of the CASA board, I would like to urge the citizens of Ogle County to consider becoming a CASA volunteer. CASA serves the children of Lee, Ogle, and Carroll Counties. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) are trained individuals that are appointed by a Judge to speak for the best interests of a child in court. These children are at risk due to abuse and neglect in situations they do not deserve to be in. A CASA volunteer provides a Judge with factual information regarding the child to help the court make positive decisions for the child’s future. As you can imagine, our CASA board is working hard to keep a balanced budget. Throughout the year we do many fundraisers to keep this program going for the child’s sake. On Nov. 7 we are hosting a Dueling Pianos event at the LaBranche in Polo. All tip proceeds go to CASA. It’s a fun, entertaining night. If anyone would like more information regarding this event, please call us at 815222-6780. Please consider becoming involved with this worthy program. You can make the difference in the life of a child. For information on becoming a volunteer, please
awards to the winning canines and a treat bag for all participating pooches. Categories for judging are: best purchased costume; best homemade costume; and best group (multiple dogs or pet/person costumes). Owners can get photos taken with their dogs at the Haunted Howl’oween Cemetery to commemorate
the fun evening. The event is free, but all dogs must have a Wiggly Field Dog permit and all park rules and regulations will apply. The Halloween carnival will be held on Thursday, Oct. 29. Children ages 3-5 will enjoy the carnival, located in the Nash gymnasium, from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
Kindergarten-fifth grade may participate from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Come in costume and try your hand at many games to win candy and prizes. Each child will receive 12 free tickets in a Halloween bag. Additional tickets can be purchased for 25 cents each. In addition to the carnival games, a raffle will be held.
Prizes have been donated by local businesses. Raffle tickets can be purchased for 50 cents each, five for $2 or 13 for $5. Some of the exciting prizes that will be available include: Oregon Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake, Pizza from Father & Son, two horseback rides from White Pines Ranch, two Melissa
& Doug gift baskets from Merlin’s, two V.I.P. super passes from White Pines Roller Rink, Conover Coffee & Chocolates gift basket, plush beaver from White Pines Inn, Fishing gift basket from Rock River Outfitters, pizza from Alfano’s, three book gift baskets from OPD Turn to A10
costs out of the transportation budget. I urged the board to consider that things that are legal are not always ethical. How can our school district afford nine administrators along with a head cook, a janitor supervisor, a head custodian, a technology director, and other management positions? If we keep all these positions we will likely see teaching and support positions cut. This will mean larger class sizes and less help for our
students. If you are a parent of a student in the Oregon district you need to contact the board members and urge them to cut administration positions before cutting teaching and support staff. The names of the board members and their email addresses are on the OCUSD website. Donna Gruber Oregon

Huge success at Chana School Dear Editor, Volunteers once again stepped forward to help the Chana School Museum. This year’s Autumn on Parade Open House and food booth at the 1883 Chana School Museum was a huge success due to the wonderful response of food donations and helpers. The 1883 Chana School was open for visitors on Saturday, Oct. 3 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. during AOP. Period dressed docents greeted each person and shared historical information concerning the old school. Earlyne Warmolts, Shirley Battin, Brian Grover, and Mark Herman were present to open the schoolhouse in the morning for those coming to the car and tractor show early. Then the entertaining Lyle and Donna Deuth with Richard and Jane Meyers were busy with afternoon touring visitors. Rudy and Wayne Suter helped finish up the afternoon tours and closed the schoolhouse for the day. Visitors left with an appreciation for the splendor of the old Victorian schoolhouse.
The Chana School Foundation also conducted a food booth to raise money for the school project during the car and tractor shows. Cookies and brownies were made and donated by loyal Chana women, ladies of the Oregon and Grand Detour areas, and the parents of Oregon fourth grade students. There was a large assortment of delicious treats available at the booth. Barb and Ken Giese, Brian Grover, and Gary Stauffer also made donations to the food booth. Stand workers included Phil Bratta, Sherry Piros, Diane Lillie, Donna Gruber, Sue and Gary Davis, Rhonda and Gus Himert, Mindy and Duke Thomas, Tim and Penny O’Rourke, Connor Young, Carolyn Luba, Brian Grover, Andrew and Hunter Barnhart, Sydney Hermes, and Genesis Swartz. Thank you to all the volunteers that made the food booth a sell out. The weather was beautiful with a steady flow of visitors to Oregon Park East to see the car show, tractor show, and the old schoolhouse. The Chana School Foundation would like to thank all those who either donated or helped make the occasion such a success. This was truly an example of how great things can happen if people work together for a cause. Thank you all! Connie Stauffer Oregon
Gruber questions need for nine administrators Dear Editor, I attended the [Oregon] school board meeting on Monday, Oct.19. I was the only community member who spoke at the meeting.

Oregon Chamber gives back The Oregon Chamber of Commerce recently gave back to the Oregon community by making two donations to two not-for-profit groups. The Chamber donated $1,000 to the Autumn on Parade festival and $500 to the Lifeline Food Pantry. The donations were made possible from profits raised during the Chamber’s annual Autumn on the Vine, a wine/beer tasting and fundraising event held on Oct. 3. The 2015 event, held at E.D. Etnyre, was a tremendous success. “The unique combination of industry and art, held within our wine tasting event, created the perfect atmosphere. We are so fortunate to have such tremendous talent, history, and opportunity in are own back yard,” said Debbie Dickson, executive director for the Chamber of Commerce. “A personal thanks to Beth Simeone for her tenacious spirit, and willing enthusiasm to assist with coordinating the art exhibition. Her dedication to the history of “The Art of Oregon” is beyond description.” The Oregon Chamber of Commerce also thanks their generous sponsors: Alpine Chiropractic & Natural Medicine, Exelon Generation, and Kunes Country Auto Group of Oregon. “A special thanks to: E.D. Etnyre & Company for hosting this years event!,” said Dickson. “This was an amazing venue and opportunity to visit local industry and realize not only it’s impact in our community, but also in the global market! Additional thanks to: Fisher’s, Inc., Rochelle Community Hospital and White Pines Inn for their in-kind services and donations!” Additional information about the Oregon Chamber of Commerce is available by calling 815-732-2100 or visiting www.oregonil.com.

Board offers TIF position for Ill. 72 project Dear Editor, To the Village of Davis Junction Board of Trustees: On behalf of Meridian CUSD 223 and its Board of Education I would like to formally state our position in regards to the proposed TIF District for the IL Route 72 Redevelopment Project Area. While Meridian CUSD 223 would like to acknowledge and commend the Village of Davis Junction for attempting to encourage economic development within our district, the district cannot philosophically support a TIF district at this time. To explain, the proposed TIF District includes 38 taxable properties with a total EAV of $704,933. By definition, a TIF District captures all additional tax dollars as a result of increased EAV in the
redevelopment area for the next 23 years and re-routes those monies directly to the village for re-investment in the project area. Assuming the modest EAV increase of two percent over each of the next 23 years, the proposed TIF district would cost Meridian CUSD over $240,000 (total) in revenue. Thus, Meridian CUSD 223 simply cannot support such a proposition. Meridian CUSD 2232 firmly acknowledges that they have no control in this situation and the Village Board is entrusted to do what is best for the community. If the Village Board decides to move forward with the TIF District Meridian CUSD would like the Trustees to consider a shorter term than 23 years or a ‘make-whole’ agreement with the district. Neighboring towns and school districts have reached such agreement if seeking a precedent of such an agreement in our area. If such alterations to the proposed TIF district are not compelling to the Davis
Junction Board of Trustees, Meridian CUSD 223 hopes that Davis Junction would continue to support the district they currently do by off-setting supply costs for teachers and expanding that program to help our district continue to improve the service we provide our students and community. Projects Meridian CUSD 223 would like Davis Junction to consider supporting would be: increasing student access to 21st century technology, the creation of a first-class home soccer complex in Davis Junction, and the replacement of antiquated scoreboards and scoring tables. Please note that Meridian CUSD 223 is thankful for our partnership with Davis Junction and believe that it will continue to grow in the future regardless of the Board’s decision regarding the proposed TIF district. Respectfully submitted, P.J. Caposey Superintendent of Schools Meridian CUSD 223

Jail study to be part of expense From A1 patching, most of the work will be done next year and is expected to be completed by May. The parking lots included in the project are at the old sheriff’s building, judicial center, courthouse and jail, health department building on Pines Road, and on the southeast corner of Jefferson and Fifth Streets, all in Oregon, and Focus House, Rochelle. The final expenditure approved by the board was a jail feasibility study, not to exceed $10,000. The study will be done by HOK, a Chicago architectural and planning firm. Gouker said the study will assess costs, space needs both present and future, and
other aspects. “It’s a needs assessment so we can determine what we need to budget,” he said. The present jail, built in the late 1960s, has required an increasing list of repairs in recent years. HOK representative Jeff Goodale told the board his firm will study the costs of a new building, potential sites, and repairs to the current building The study will also cover bed needs for the next 10, 20, and 50 years, identify juvenile justice system needs for those time frames, and assess space needs for housing; intake, transfers and release; medical and mental health; food service, laundry, and warehouse; and administration and training.

Official: fire danger is high due to weather conditions By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com An Oregon fire official is cautioning area residents about burning leaves or trash with the current weather conditions. “Be very aware we’re under fire watch,” Assistant Chief Randy Travis said Monday. The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a red flag warning Monday morning for all of northern Illinois and northwest Indiana due to strong winds, dry conditions, and low humidity. “A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions are
either occurring now or will shortly,” the message on the NWS website read. “A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures will contribute to extreme fire behavior.” Winds were gusting up to 40 mph Monday afternoon as temperatures rose into the low 70s, and the relative humidity was in the high 30s. Travis said an Oregon resident found out how great the danger is Sunday afternoon when she was burning leaves near a picked cornfield next to the Century Hills Subdivision at the west edge of town. The fire quickly spread, he said, and burned two acres of the field before firefighters
got it out. Several field fires occurred in the last week because of the same weather conditions. Firefighters from three counties battled a winddriven field fire Oct. 12 that burned more than 100 acres near Stillman Valley. That fire was thought to be caused by equipment being used in the field to install utility poles. Due to the dry conditions and strong winds Oct. 12, area firefighters were called to several more field and brush fires, including one at the intersection of Montague and Pecatonica Roads, another south of Byron, and one near Sublette.
Cooking fire causes little damage to Oregon home By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com A cooking fire caused minimal damage Oct. 16 to an Oregon home. The fire at the home of Barbara Seward, 409 S. Fifth St., started just after 2 p.m. when she was melting grease in a skillet on the stove, and it caught fire. “There wasn’t a lot of damage. It was mostly smoke damage,” said Oregon Assistant Fire Chief Randy Travis. The fire traveled up the wall and into the range hood, he said, ruining the stove. Seward and her dog safely escaped from the house. Oregon police officers were first on the scene and used fire extinguishers to put out the flames before firefighters arrived.

Soccer team advances to sectional final By Patrick Mason Sauk Valley Media pmason@saukvalley.com
Oregon senior captain Jarrett Reynolds led various defensive drills at practice on Monday, knowing that stout defense would be the formula to beating HinckleyBig Rock. The Hawks played with four defensive backs instead of their usual three, and shut down the Royals’ potent offense and main scoring threat in Jack Bullard in a 5-0 win in a semifinal of the 1A Aurora Central Catholic Sectional on Tuesday. “Our defense was good
tonight,” said Oregon right back Harneet Singh, who kept an eye on Bullard throughout the match. “We watched [Bullard] and made sure he wasn’t the one to beat us. We played hard.” Bullard entered the match with 28 goals and 22 assists this season, but found little space to maneuver once he crossed midfield. He and Reynolds play on the same club team in the offseason, and Bullard knew his friend would make sure Oregon wouldn’t let him slip through the cracks. The Hawks never cracked, and issued double teams which kept Bullard from
having an impact. “It’s like a friendly rivalry between us,” Bullard said. “Jarrett’s a good player and his team was tough. I saw quite a few double teams. It felt like there were one or two defenders on my back all night.” While the defense did its part in silencing the Royals (17-8), the Oregon offense was at its loudest. The Hawks out-shot H-BR 13-6, kept the ball in their offensive zone, and scored four second-half goals to put the match out of reach. For the second time in consecutive matches, it was Oregon forward Austin
Millan who put his mark on the match in the first 10 minutes. Millan scored the opening goal early on in the Hawks’ regional final win over Stillman Valley last Friday. The shifty forward did it again against the Royals, weaving around defenders to score his 13th goal of the season just 6 minutes into the match. His goal put Oregon up 1-0, and it turned out to be all the Hawks needed. Keeper Jasprett Singh Gill, who has been battling a sore left wrist for the past month, made six saves, including two terrific diving stops to
preserve the shutout. “Jaspreet was outstanding tonight,” Hawks coach Justyn Laxner said. “Unbelievable couple saves there.” Isidoro Marcos added a goal 2 minutes, 35 seconds into the second half to put Oregon up 2-0. Jarrett Reynolds scored on a running header 10 minutes later, Trey Wilson added another goal with 22 minutes remaining, and Vitor Braga capped the scoring with 20:06 left. Marcos was involved in a scary collision with Royals senior keeper Dylan Youhanaie with 10:12 to play in the first half. Youhanaie had to be helped off the
field and didn’t return. All of Oregon’s four second-half goals came on backup keeper Zach Vistine. Oregon (21-3) is in unchartered territory, having won its first regional title in program history 5 days prior. The Hawks will look for another plaque when they will put their 17-match win streak on the line when they face Keith Country Day in the sectional final at 3 p.m. on Saturday. Keith, which was a 9-1 winner over Elgin Academy in the earlier semifinal, handed Oregon its most recent loss, a 2-1 decision back on Aug. 29 at the Oregon tournament.
Hawks win regional in dramatic fashion Oregon champs after two OTs against Stillman By Patrick Mason Sauk Valley Media pmason@saukvalley.com The floor fell out from underneath them, their hearts lodged in their throats. It was about to happen again – at least that’s how it felt for the Oregon soccer team in the regional final on their home field Oct. 16. Stillman Valley scored late in the first overtime to take a one-goal lead in the title match of Class 1A Oregon Regional. It was a familiar feeling for the Hawks, who were bounced in the regional round in each of the past three seasons. Then Jarrett Reynolds took over. “I could see hearts breaking,” said the Oregon forward. “You could just feel that we were thinking this was going to happen again. It sucks and it gets in your head. But I knew it wasn’t over yet.” Reynolds scored two goals in the second overtime period to send Oregon to a 4-3 win over the Cardinals, as the Hawks claimed their first regional title in program history. With 8:03 left to play and trailing 3-2, Oregon’s Eduardo Guzman, who came out earlier in the match with an injury to his right leg, booted a corner kick that curled around several Stillman Valley defenders and found Reynolds who headed the equalizer past Cardinals keeper Emmit

Ugalde. Reynolds wasn’t finished. With under 30 seconds to play, Reynolds hurried to line up a set piece, and kicked a low slicing shot that found twine in the bottom right corner of the goal, just under Ugalde’s outstretched arm. His shot gave the Hawks a 4-3 lead with 18.6 to play, effectively sealing the win and the regional title. “He played phenomenal,” Oregon coach Jusytn Laxner said of Reynolds. “He carried the team when we needed it most. That’s what you expect from you captain, and he delivered in a big way.” The Hawks (16-3) beat Stillman Valley twice in the regular season on their way to the Big Northern West title. But the Cardinals have
a history of being a thorn in Oregon’s side, eliminating the Hawks in regionals in 2014 and 2012. Jack Iturbide was determined to make it a third time as he scored three goals for the Cardinals (117-1). Iturbide, who scored 25 goals this season, answered an Austin Millan score on a breakaway in the first half to knot the score at 1-1 heading into halftime. Iturbide added his second goal 6 minutes into the second half, displaying his speed and soft touch. Oregon’s Konner Wilson scored 14 minutes later, sending the match to overtime tied at 2 apiece. “I thought we could snag the win before overtime,” Wilson said. “But Stillman is a great team, and they

played us hard. It turned out we needed more, and I knew Jarrett would come through for us like he always has.” It was Iturbide who scored his third goal with 3:28 left in the first of two, 10-minute overtime periods. “My teammates know to just get the ball out in front, and I’ll go chase it down,” Iturbide said. “I thought we had all the momentum there, up one goal, but Oregon played well. They’re obviously a tough team to put away.” Oregon players sunk their heads, some even knelt on the grass after falling behind 3-2 facing just minutes left until the end of their season, but Reynolds picked them all

up fast. “I figured I’d just take a shot,” Reynolds said of his match-winning goal. “Either someone will get a touch on it, or it will find its way through. No one touched this, and it went in.
“You have memories flashing in your head nonstop in moments like this of times when you fail, and you remember how much it hurts. But when that went in, there’s nothing left in your head but happiness.”
Lady Hawks beat Dixon By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com It was hard to tell which coach was happier after Oregon’s hard-fought 3-set win over Dixon in volleyball on Tuesday night. Dixon’s Bunyan Cocar was all smiles after his team pushed Oregon to the limit in a 21-25, 25-23, 25-17 BNC loss. This after the Lady Hawks quickly dispatched of Dixon on Sept. 24. “By far, it was our best game in a while,” Cocar said. “Tonight, we showed we could play with anyone. Going into the regionals, we won’t be afraid.” Oregon (23-6) improved to 10-3 in conference play, while the Duchesses (14-15) fell to 5-8. “We didn’t expect Dixon to be as good as they were,” Oregon coach Faith Watson said. “They riled us. We’ve been on a rollercoaster Oregon’s Taylor Egan tips the ball over the net during a game against Dixon Tuesday lately.” night. The Lady Hawks won the match in three games. Photo by Chris Johnson
Dixon took advantage of Oregon return errors to jump out to a 3-0 lead in the first game and then pulled away from a 19-19 tie. Phoenix Smith, who “had a career night”, according to Cocar, gave Dixon the lead for good with a kill. Three straight service and returns errors by Oregon gave the game to Dixon. “We were up and ready two hours before the game,” Dixon’s Jessa Long said. “It’s the last week of conference and win or lose, we feel we went out with a bang.” Long was all over the court for Dixon, making 11 digs and 9 kills, nearly sparking the Duchesses to the upset. In the second game, Dixon had an 18-15 lead on a Long kill, but the serving of Bre Cullen helped Oregon take a 19-18 advantage. With the score tied 23-23, two return errors proved costly to Dixon. “We let the second game get away,” Cocar said. “We
got out of our system of serve-receive. Oregon’s defense was better in the second game and they made adjustments with their setter.” Oregon front line began to make its presence felt in the second game, with Gylian Finch, Sommer Rhea and freshman Bailey Nelson stacking up kills. The three combined for 43 overall. “In the second game, we started to click and roll with it,” Watson said. “Absolutely, the kills helped.” In the finale, the Lady Hawks really started to roll, going from an 8-7 lead to 14-7. Dixon pulled to within four points, but the Lady Hawk net play was too much to handle the rest of the way. Kacey Koch had 21 assists for Dixon. For Oregon, Haylie Rorbeck led Oregon with 47 assists and Cullen had 22 digs. Rhea had 17 kills, Finch, 15, and Nelson 11.

Hawks battle through to beat Mendota 27-20 By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com In a 27-20 win over Mendota, Oregon overcame
three lost fumbles and an offense that had difficulty sustaining long drives. Instead, the Hawks relied on four long touchdown runs, three by Caleb Mennen
and a 45-yard game-clincher by John Ghibellini late in the fourth quarter on Oct. 16. “It wasn’t our best effort,” Oregon coach John Bothe said. “We were flat and

Hawks battle through to win first regional By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com A heavy load was lifted off the collective back of the Oregon soccer program. With a nerve-wracking win over Stillman Valley, the Hawks can finally relax. Whatever happens in the sectional doesn’t matter
got caught off guard on a couple of plays. Our defense remained calm, though.” Oregon had a 14-0 lead and appeared to be in control, but a 69-yard halfback option touchdown pass with one minute left in the first half pulled the Trojans within 147. Then Mendota (1-7, 1-5) recovered on on-side kick to start the second half. Eight plays later it was 14-14 on a 1-yard touchdown run by Jake Temple and Oregon (3-5, 2-4) had a fight on its hands. “Once we got up 14-0, we kind of hung back and they took advantage,” said Mennen, who had 144 yards on only six carries. The speedy junior got the lead back for the Hawks with a 38-burst up the right side of his line four plays later. “That was a really nice cut he made on the run,” Bothe said. “Mendota committed so many at line of scrimmage, as many as 10 guys, which helped us break the long runs.” On the first play of the fourth quarter, talented sophomore quarterback Bryson Prustator tied the game 20-20 on a sneak.
That touchdown was set up after the Hawks fumbled on their own 27-yard line. Other than the four touchdown runs, the other key offensive play for Oregon came from Brayton Finch. Deep in its own territory late in the game, Oregon faced a third-and-9. Finch broke two tackles to keep the drive alive. Five plays later, it was Ghibellini putting the game out of reach with his touchdown. “After a tough loss at Winnebago, we focused on finishing strong,” said Hawk 3-year lineman Matt Crandall, who had four solo tackles and nine assists. “We had some big stops in the fourth quarter. It was the first game, I felt back to myself again.” The final stop drove Mendota coach Brock Sondgeroth berserk. With two minutes left and his team driving, Hawk defensive back Will Rice intercepted Prusator. Officials called two penalties on the Trojan sideline for protesting the call. “That the most ridiculous
call I’ve ever seen,” an irate Sondgeroth said. “It was blatant holding and spinning (by Rice) and should have been interference. Our kids had a chance to win, but the refs took it away from them. I will be sending this to the IHSA. This was absolutely ridiculous.” The Hawk win snapped a 4-game losing skid and set up a season finale against Stillman Valley, also coming in to the contest at 3-5. “Our seniors have a short memory and have put the Winnebago game behind them,” Mennen said. “Tonight, the defense didn’t get down after the fumbles. We stepped it up.” Defensively, Matt Stevens (three solos, seven assists) and Ghibellini (10 solos, eight assists) combined for two tackles for losses and Maverik Good added a onearmed tackle for a 9-yard loss. The Hawk fresh-soph team won its second straight game, 28-7. Oregon hosts Stillman Valley this Friday at LandersLoomis Field in the final game of the season.
Sports Column nearly as much as getting that first-ever regional title, especially over nemesis Stillman. From the viewpoint of a soccer novice, Oregon appeared to be the much better team, as evidenced by the majority of the game being played on Stillman’s side of the field. But, why were the Cardinals leading with time ticking away in the second half? It seemed like cruel fate may be dealt to the Hawks and then Konner Wilson
came to the rescue. His goal “saved” the game, at least that is what overtime hero Jarrett Reynolds said. Sure, Reynolds dropped a 35-yard prayer into the net to win the game in one of the best shots of his storied career, but without Wilson changing the tide, there might not have been an overtime. Bottom line - when the Hawks needed it the most, its top two players produced. And, that’s what a team has to have in the pressurepacked environment of the

post season. Did you know that Oregon’s opponent in Tuesday’s sectional game is one of the original pioneers of high school soccer in Illinois? In 1972, when the IHSA first offered soccer, Hinckley-Big Rock was one of only 36 schools that had a team. At that time, virtually every conference in the state had football, but the schools in the Little 10, which HBR was a part of, had soccer instead. Statewide, they were big underdogs, as the only other programs were huge suburban and Chicago schools, along with southern powerhouse Granite City. From 1979 to 1981, HBR advanced to the state, but had to compete against schools 20-30 times larger. Its coach, Larry Peppers, still has the state career record for wins with 571 and those schools from the Little 10 conference served as an inspiration to other smaller schools that eventually began playing soccer. Hawks beat Mendota Nice win for the Hawk football team against Mendota. The wrap-up at home against Stillman Valley promises to be the best game of the year. Though neither team will be going to the playoffs, both have a strong tradition and a typical hard-hitting encounter awaits us. With the return to Landers-Loomis for the first
time in three weeks, one couldn’t help but notice the immaculate condition the field was in, from the turf to the professional manner it was chalked. It looked more like a small college stadium that a 3A football program. Credit all around to the OHS grounds crew for such a wonderful job. It’s been years since I saw a coach as livid as was Mendota’s Brock Sondgeroth. When Will Rice made the interception to clinch the win for Oregon, Sondgeroth protested it to no end with officials, continuing his rant in the post-game huddle to his players and then expressing his ire to the assembled media. About 15 years ago, I had the pleasure to meet Brock when he was a coach at LaMoille. I did an article on him regarding the difficulty keeping football afloat at such as small school (eventually the program folded). He was a nice guy then and he still is. But, as I’ve witnessed over and over again at high school sporting events, emotions will often over-rule intellect for many a coach, parent and athlete. Was it really necessary for the Rockford Register Star to have a special wrap-around section on James Robinson following his breaking of the state career rushing record? Isn’t this normally reserved for something like
Andy Colbert
visiting foreign dignitaries or the moon landing, not a high school sporting event? One of things we those of us in the media are guilty of over adulation of high school athletes. What the Register Star did in its KING JAMES commemorative news edition 4-page foldout is a shameful example of this. Byron won the 1A boys state title going away, but I did not realize how tenuous its 1-stroke advantage over Oregon at the regional was. In listening to coach Andy Gramer interviewed on WRHL, he said his team ended up playing the final three holes at the regional an aggregate (four man) one under par to squeak out a sectional berth over the Hawks. That’s a bizarre scenario and goes to show how critical each stroke can be in golf, whether its for a Ryder Cup or at a IHSA regional.
