Harn claims auditor failed to get documents Emails sent by sheriff to Ogle board members By Matt Mencarini Sauk Valley Media Three release forensic County
days after public of results from a audit of the Ogle administrative tow
fund, Sheriff Michael Harn sent an email to six County Board members that claimed the auditor had failed to get necessary documents from his department. That email and others related to the tow fund and the forensic audit were obtained by Sauk Valley Media through a Freedom of Information Act request. Harn did not attend either
of the County Board’s public meetings Oct. 21, including a regular meeting, where the forensic audit’s results were presented by the auditor. “Just want to send you a little FYI,” Harn said in the email sent Oct. 24. “Since all the County Board has [their] opinion about the tow fund and the articles in the papers I want to inform you of this. I met with the auditor on three
different dates, I explained in detail from start to finish, I explained who he needed to speak to and why things [were] done the way they were and WHO told me I could do things the way I did them. “I’m very unhappy with myself that everything gets twisted, lies, bull----, and the attacks. But I assume responsibility because of
[who] I am.” Harn didn’t respond to Sauk Valley Media’s requests for comment. Ogle County State’s Attorney Mike Rock declined to comment on whether he had passed, or would pass, the forensic audit’s results on to an outside agency for further investigation. Rock, like Harn, lost his election in the March
Republican primary; their terms end on Nov. 30. In his Oct. 24 email, Harn also said he had twice told the auditor, James Sullivan, that a lieutenant had 46 documents that could clear up some of the confusion and disorganization with the tow fund. Ogle County Chairman Turn to A7
Meridian district voters approve tax referendum By Vinde Wells Editor Voters in the Meridian School District went to the polls Tuesday to support paying higher taxes to keep and reinstate educational and extracurricular programs. Results Tuesday night showed that a referendum for a 70-cent tax rate hike in the district’s Education Fund passed by 1,990 votes to 1,573. Meridian Superintendent P.J. Caposey said he was very pleased with the election results. “It’s a great day for our kids,” he said. “I think we’ll be able to provide a first-class education for our students moving forward.” School district officials asked voters to raise real estate taxes in the Education Fund from the present $2.78 per $100 of equalized assessed value (EAV) to $3.48 for the next seven years. Voters in Ogle County approved the referendum 1,905 to 1,446, while Winnebago County voters cast only 85 yes votes to 127
no votes. The hike will increase the taxes on a $150,000 home by $350 per year, excluding exemptions. According to the question on the ballot, the referendum would bring an estimated additional $1.1 million into district coffers annually. “We understand that a burden was placed on our taxpayers, and we don’t take that lightly,” Caposey said. “We appreciate the people who came out to support this.” He said the increase was needed to balance the budget and avoid drastic cuts. The school board had already cut staff and course offerings, and eliminated junior high sports and other activities in an effort to erase a $1.9 million deficit. Without the new tax dollars, Caposey said the board would have been forced to look at further cuts that could increase class sizes, reduce course offerings further, and eliminate the sports program at all levels.

Former restaurant to be demolished By Vinde Wells Editor A resolution is in the offing for tearing down a burned out restaurant in Oregon. Police Chief Darin DeHaan said Monday that the remains of Whiskey’s River Smokehouse, 123 N. Second
St., will likely be demolished in the next few weeks. He said he spoke with Jason Benesh, who has been hired to take down what’s left of the restaurant and apartment above it. “It’s a matter of timing with the contractor’s schedule,” DeHaan said. “There’s an
end in sight. We’re hoping it will be done really soon.” In fact, DeHaan said, Benesh has already disconnected the utilities, which is the first step in the demolition process. DeHaan said he has also been in contact with owner Kevin Wedel, who is also
eager to get the building torn down. Last month, DeHaan said the demolition had been delayed because insurance adjustors could not agree on the amount Wedel should receive for his claim. Turn to A2
Family cleans up at costume contest By Chris Johnson Reporter
How can a mouse trap, a Chuckie doll, and a headless man be related. The answer is quite clear when the costumes come off. The Garcia family, Oregon, participated in the 66th annual Halloween Costume Contest sponsored by the Oregon Knights of Columbus. What made this night unique for the family is they took home first place in three of the four categories. Eliana Garcia won the infant and one-year-old category as a mouse trap. The Chuckie doll was her brother Kaeson Garcia, age 2, in the two to four-year-old category. Rounding out the trio was Zander Garcia, age 6, in the five to seven-year-old category as a headless man. “It is exciting to have all three on stage,” said their mother Steph. “It is awesome to be up there.” The only category the Deputy clerk Linda Walter hands 102-year-old voter Betty family did not win was Solyom, Mt. Morris, a ballot Oct. 31. Solyom recently the eight and up division, moved to the area from Elgin. Photo by Chris Johnson

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

Three stagecoach routes ran through Oregon in 1851 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 The first train traveled through Oregon in 1871 and the first car in 1900. W. L. Taylor was the first citizen of Oregon to own an automobile. For the following 10 years the Oregon newspaper named the Republican reported all purchases of automobiles by Oregon citizens. In 1837 Oregon’s founder John Phelps traveled to Washington and secured the first mail contract for this region. He entered into a partnership with the noted Frick and Walker Stagecoach Company to deliver the mail to this region. At this time Frick and Walker controlled the stagecoach business for the Old Northwest Territory. This territory included what is now Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of
Minnesota. Frick and Walker made Chicago the center of a web of stagecoach routes connecting Chicago to Rockford, Dixon, Oregon, and many other communities in the Midwest. In 1837 a stagecoach route was established from St. Charles to Oregon. By 1851 the Ogle County Gazette published weekly at Oregon by R. C. Burchell reported the arrival and departure of three stage coaches in Oregon. Later R. C. Burchell became the first of three Burchells to become mayor of Oregon. All three of these mayors are buried at the Riverside Cemetery. R. C. Burchell was elected mayor in 1885, Francis Burchell in 1892, and Francis W. Burchell in 1919. Francis W. Burchell is buried in the mausoleum . The stage coach routes listed Dec. 3, 1851 were the Chicago and Rock Island Line, Dixon and Janesville Line, and the Oregon and Freeport Line. On the Chicago and Rock Island Line passengers left Chicago every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 3 p.m. arriving in Oregon the following day around 10 p.m. A stage also left Oregon
R. C. Burchell
every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for Chicago at 10 a.m. The Dixon-Janesville Line traveled through Oregon, Rockford, and Beloit on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, returning to Janesville the following days. The Oregon and Freeport Line passed through Mt. Morris and Adeline. When this arrived back at Oregon it connected with the Peru and Rock Island Stages. The following stage coach route from Chicago to Rockford in 1840 gives an insight concerning travel by stagecoach in this area. The schedule time between Rockford and Chicago was advertised to be 24 hours. (Maybe the good old days weren’t that good.)

Horses were changed at intervals of 15 miles at stations built for this purpose. The ticket price from Chicago to Rockford was $5. It was said carrying the mail was the only profitable part of the stage business. Stage coaches average speed was about five miles per hour. Stage coaches originated in England. The stagecoach was a fourwheeled vehicle pulled by horses or mules. The term Three stagecoach routes once ran through Oregon. stage referred to the distance between stations. In 1776 a stage coach called the Flying Machine decreased stagecoach travel between New York and Philadelphia from three to two days. By 1829 Boston was the hub of 77 stagecoach lines. Mark Twain described the Concord Stagecoach ride like a cradle on wheels. So for more than 50 years stage coaches traveled over the streets of Oregon.

Park district earns green award The Illinois Association of Park Districts has named the Oregon Park District one of the 2014 Best of the Best winners. Oregon Park District was one of three park districts who received a Best Green Practices Award. OPD was presented the award on Oct. 24 in Wheeling at the Best of the Best Awards Gala. The park district is committed to providing services to the community in a manner that meets the needs of
its users, while incorporating environmentally friendly practices and policies. Green initiatives have been a focal point for the district over the past five years. Initiatives have included a recycling program, energy saving improvements, open space preservation and natural resource management. The last two projects completed by the district were designed with sustainability at the forefront and funded through the OSLAD and PARC grant programs.
In 2011, the park west expansion project included prairie plantings, prairie restoration, installation of a bio-swale and interpretive signs explaining the benefits to the eco-system. In 2013, the Nash Recreation project included efficiency upgrades to all mechanical systems, installation of solar panels and tubes, and structural upgrades resulting in a substantial reduction in energy costs. All projects pursued by the
district result in a cost savings and involve sustainability practices for current and future generations. The park district takes pride in providing the community and all visitors the opportunity to enjoy recreation in an Evelyn Friemuth environmentally-friendly manner.

Former Baltimore Raven Sean Considine, a Super Bowl champion from the city of Byron, will be in attendance signing autographs.
All visitors are invited to guess the score of the Chicago versus Green Bay game to be held just hours after the end of the open house. One guest will win a football prize package.

Kim Gouker responded to Harn’s email message From A1 Kim Gouker responded to Harn in an email sent Oct. 31. Gouker’s email shows a stark contrast to the stance the chairman took earlier in the year when he defended the use of the tow fund and resisted calls from County Board members and the public for a forensic audit of the fund. “Mike, you way overstepped the authority granted your office in the original 2011 Ordinance, by depositing and commingling other funds with the Administrative Tow Fees, thinking by doing so, these other funds would somehow attain the same level of open discretion granted to the Tow Fees,” Gouker’s email said. “The deposit, and unchecked use, of those funds was never authorized by the Board, and by doing so, you abused the trust granted your office by the County Board, with the 2011 Ordinance.” In that email, Gouker said he had spoken with Sullivan, who said that there never was a conversation with Harn about a lieutenant with 46 documents, and that the only name he was given to get documents from the Sheriff’s Department was Melissa Crippen, Harn’s executive assistant. “I have to believe what he says, because the nature of a forensic audit is to follow EVERY lead, and it is also their nature to make copious notes along the way as to who they spoke to, and what was their conversation,” Gouker said. “Jim Sullivan does not have in his record any conversation that identifies any Lieutenant to speak to about 46 files, records, or documents.” According to Harn’s email, only after the results of the audit were released did his lieutenant tell him that no auditor ever had come for the documents. “Just saying, that as far as I’m concerned it’s over, but its bull---- that you only received half the information you were looking for and I get treated as a thief,” Harn said in his email. “If I knew these

About the tow fund The tow fund, which was established by county ordinance in 201, was meant to supplement a shrinking budget and to help the sheriff’s department with vehicle repairs and purchases. In the original ordinance, the sheriff was given discretion to spend the funds, collected from a $350 tow fee, for any purpose. In December, Sauk Valley Media reported that funds from the tow fund had been used by Sheriff Michael Harn to pay for a tent for the county fair, flowers for Secretary’s Day, and a $4,000 management fee for the department’s Facebook page, in addition to vehicle purchases and repairs. In February, after the
fund’s expenses and revenue from other sources were reported, the board restricted what the tow fund could be used for and what funds could be deposited into it. A month later, the tow fund’s control was transferred to the Ogle County treasurer’s office, and Ogle County Chairman Kim Gouker called for a forensic audit of the fund. He had resisted such an audit several months earlier. The forensic audit’s results, which included $10,754 in funds unaccounted for, were made public on Oct. 21. The auditors also said the fund’s records were sloppy and the fund lacked internal controls.
Following are a few short excerpts from a series of emails between Ogle County Board Chairman Kim Gouker and Sheriff Michael Harn regarding discrepancies in the tow fund audit. Sept. 23, 12:20 p.m. GOUKER: Mike, I know there is only one person who wants to see this matter closed more than myself. You’re in the spotlight even more than the Board, and the County government. Fortunately, you have the opportunity to control your own destiny. Turn your office inside out if necessary, but clear this up with the correct information. We need to find this information, and get it to Sikich as soon as we can, so they can complete their report. Sept. 23, 1:53 p.m. HARN: First of all I’m responsible and I’ll be eaten up spit out there is no doubt in my mind, the facts are I NEVER took a dime, I never had anything to do with the records of this account, nor did I ever deposit any funds into the account. Oct. 21: Results of forensic audit made public. Oct. 24, 10:39 a.m. HARN: I met with the auditor on three different dates, I explained in detail from start to finish, I explained who he needed to speak to and why things [were] done the way they were and WHO told me I could do things the way I did them. I’m very unhappy with myself that everything gets twisted, lies, bull----, and the attacks. But I assume responsibility because of [who] I am.
were never looked at I surely would [have] brought them to someone’s attention. I don’t expect anything to be done, and I surely want to move on, I just wanted you to know that all this could [have] had a different outcome if you would [have] had ALL the information.” But because Harn is an elected official who runs his own department, Gouker said, the sheriff needed to be more “actively engaged” in the forensic audit process to make sure that all the documents found their way to the auditors. “Instead, you have been nearly completely absent from your office, and seemingly ignored the magnitude of the audit process, or its ending repercussions,” Gouker said in the email. Gouker closed his 1,300word response to Harn by saying the question he had heard most since the forensic audit’s release related to the work done on Harn’s department-issued truck for “an emissions delete package.” “Before you leave office, Mike, we expect that you will restore that smog package to that vehicle, at YOUR EXPENSE, to [its] factory
installed specifications,” he said. “It is the least you could do.” In an interview Monday, Gouker said he hadn’t yet asked to see the 46 documents, but he planned to contact Harn about that. Emails between Gouker and Harn also shed light on the weeks leading up to the Oct. 21 public release of the results, including the fact that the auditors were missing records and documents and had additional unanswered questions. The two exchanged emails Sept. 23, about a month before the final report was made public. At that time, about $12,850 was believed to be unaccounted for. That figure was reduced to about $10,750 in the final report, the public release of which Gouker asked to be “put on hold” until more information could be gathered, so there could be “more answers than questions.” In the first of several emails between the two that day, Gouker told Harn more information was needed regarding several things: the unaccounted for money;
more than $61,000 that had been deposited into the tow fund from non-tow revenue; an Illinois Emergency Management Association check that had not been fully deposited into the tow fund; and the emissions work to the pickup. Questions about all of those issues still lingered in the final report, which was sent to Gouker days before the Oct. 21 release. “As you can imagine, ‘numerous missing records’ in a public report is a discrepancy that if left unfilled, will lead to a toxic and explosive reaction that will make the first go-around in the Spring, in comparison, seem like a ‘Sunday picnic,’” Gouker said in the Sept. 23
email. “The accusations then were based on rumor and supposition. Something I could ‘defend,’ if for no other reason than the accusations were political and not based on fact. Well, now we’re well out of the political season, and the ‘facts’ will now show that ‘numerous records are missing.’” In his response to Gouker, Harn said he had had no conversations about missing money, except for the portion of the IEMA check that wasn’t deposited, adding that he wasn’t looking to “debate” the issue and would provide the necessary documents. “I’ll answer ALL the questions the best I can, but I have a few questions,” Harn said in the email. “First of all
I’m responsible and I’ll be eaten up spit out there is no doubt in my mind, the facts are I NEVER took a dime, I never had anything to do with the records of this account, nor did I ever deposit any funds into the account.” Gouker’s next email to Harn referred to specific questions he raised in his email earlier in the day. He told Harn he highlighted in red “the questions I believe need to be answered.” He also said Sullivan, the auditor, would be in touch. In his final email, Harn said he would answer Sullivan’s questions. “When I get the specific questions, I’ll do my best to answer the questions,” the sheriff said.

Altogether 17,267 ballots were cast in Ogle County Tuesday. The referenda on the ballot for the Meridian School District, Village of Hillcrest, and Leaf River Township brought voters out, she said. “In areas where there are referenda that hit the pocketbook we always have a heavy turnout,” Huntley said.
“And I think people became interested in the governor’s race.” Huntley and her staff were kept busy all day Tuesday to due a change in state legislation that, for the first time, allowed residents to register to vote and then cast their vote on Election Day in her office. Nearly 30 voters had taken advantage of the new rule by 2 p.m. Tuesday. “It’s a new wrinkle,” Huntley said. “The legislation was written for this election only. We’re trying it out.”

Dear Editor, The Oregon Hawks Cross Country team ended their season on Saturday, Oct. 25 at the IHSA Regional Cross Country meet. We could not be prouder of our athletes. They worked hard this season and kept improving their times right up to the last meet. We would like to say a huge thank you to our athletes and their parents. Even though their season was technically over they showed up on a frigid Saturday morning early to help run the IHSA Sectional Meet hosted by OCUSD at Park West. The event was a huge success in part to the excellent help we received by our athletes, their parents, Mike Lawton, Tracy Harvey, and Harry Fletcher. We would also like to thank several people who contributed immensely to
the season: Mr. Lawton and Mrs. Harvey for their help and support of the program, and Andy Egyed and the Oregon Park District crew for allowing us to run at such a beautiful location. We are very fortunate to have the wonderful parks we have in our community they do an amazing job. The course was in excellent condition Saturday and marked wonderfully by Rich Reed from the maintenance department of OCUSD. Some parents of former Hawk runners even came out during the season and helped at home meets. To you all we are very appreciative of you support and contributions. To the newspapers we appreciate the coverage you gave our athletes. We look forward to next season and seeing what the Hawks can accomplish! Sincerely, Tim and Lori Gipper OHS Cross Country Coaches
Homeowners reflect on the support received
Dear Editor, With the kids being back in school and construction on our new house beginning, I found myself with a bit of time to reflect on this past summer and wanted to thank everyone in the our community who supported us after our house fire on June 7, 2014. Within hours, actually make that minutes, of our fire, people were gathering personal belongings, going to Walmart for pull-ups, and opening doors to our family. What we have gone through has been one of the hardest things I could imagine, but thanks to the caring nature and support of so many, we are moving forward. There are so many things that stand out in our mind that the list just wouldn’t end. People making food, collection of donations,

Vets invited to school The students of Oregon Elementary School invite veterans, parents, and community members to their assembly honoring veterans

picking up needed medicine, taking care of our children is just a few. What made it extra meaningful was some of the things I saw the youth of our communities do, just a sign that they have had role models to show them how to help in time of need. Matthew had a glove, cleats and baseball pants just a day after the fire so he wouldn’t miss a game. Jeremy has begun to rebuild his knife collection thanks to a friend who thought of him on his vacation. Julianna got bags of girly things from those who know just much she loves that. Finally, Max has gotten everything to make a 3-year-old boy (and mom) entertained and busy for hours. The Forrestville Valley School District went above and beyond to assist our family during this time. I’d like to start and extend enormous amounts of gratitude to our new superintendent, Sheri Smith.
It must have only been a couple of weeks that she began with our schools and adjusting to her new position when she contacted me about organizing a “Rally of Love” on June 12, and got volunteers and donations organized at a central drop off location at the high school. Many of the school staff helped out with this, taking time out of their summer to spend time helping our family. For that we are so thankful and appreciative. More recently, the golf outing and benefit at the Mt. Morris Moose Club on Sept. 13 that was organized for us was greatly appreciated. Each member of our family was given something that we either lost in the fire or that might just make this difficult time a bit less hard. We still are going through a difficult time, being displaced and losing our family dog Bella are hard to deal with on a daily basis. But, we will soon begin building a new place to call home.
Many people have asked us if we will build in the same location. After what I saw of the many people in our community I couldn’t imagine moving away from such a great group of people that have shown they care so much about our family. So again,thank you to the many, many people, local businesses, and local community churches that reached out to show their support. We know we haven’t been able to personally thank each and every one of you who have reached out to us, and for that we apologize, but know that we are thankful for everyone’s kindness and compassion beyond words and look forward to“paying it forward” to others in their time of need. With Love, The Beltran Family Jenny, Steve, Jeremy, Julianna, Matthew, and Max Leaf River

March for Life was held St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Oregon, held its third annual March for Life Walk on Oct. 19. The purpose of the march was to draw attention to the importance and sanctity of human life both before and after birth. Rev. Joseph P. Naill, the pastor of St. Mary’s in Oregon, walked along with about 80 participants. In addition to parishioners from St. Mary’s and other
people from Oregon, some of those who joined the group came from Polo and Rochelle. Many wore shirts or carried banners promoting life. Walkers included young and old, some who were pregnant and even a few brought their dogs along. The walk left from the church parking lot at 1 p.m. and went south on Third Street to Jefferson, then north across Fourth Street to Third Street.
Turning north the group walked past the Ogle County Courthouse and across Washington to Jackson, then east to Third Street and back to the church parking lot. A police escort was provided for traffic and safety. Several of the participants gathered in the church both prior and after the walk for fellowship and refreshments. Plans are to schedule a similar March for Life Walk next year.
DLR Academic Bowl has begun David L Rahn Junior High Academic Bowl teams opened their 2014 season with meets at Forreston and with Pecatonica. On Oct. 20, the Eagles traveled to Forreston for their inaugural meet. The eighth graders competed first. It was a slow start for both sides when DLR’s Joel Marquardt broke into the scoring column by answering the fourth question of the round correctly. Forreston countered with two correct responses and were ahead 10-40 at the halfway point. With a difficult set of questions, DLR had only two more right answers the remainder of the match from Evan Ruthe and Blake Donmeyer. The Eagles fell to the
Cardinals, 85-40. The seventh grade match followed. The host team jumped on the first question to hold an early lead. DLR scored on questions four and six with accurate responses from Aidan Stuart and Elizabeth Villarreal. The Eagles held a slight advantage at the break, 40-30. DLR warmed up in the second half answering five of the final ten questions correctly to cruise to a 140-60 win.

Oregon-Mt. Morris Beat
Fire destroys maintenance building at Edgewood By Vinde Wells Editor The cause is undetermined of fire Nov. 1 that destroyed a maintenance building at Edgewood Golf Club six miles south of Polo. Polo Fire Chief Tony Karrow said Monday that the investigation has been closed after he and a representative from the Office of the State Fire Marshal spent two hours sifting through the ruins. “The cause remains undetermined due to lack of evidence,” Karrow said. “The evidence needed to determine a cause was lost
in the fire, and therefore the official cause will remain undetermined. The point of origin was just inside the north equipment door.” He said the fire was not suspicious. “We do believe it was an accidental fire and was not intentionally set,” he said. The fire was reported at 1:30 p.m. and totally destroyed the building and the equipment and supplies stored inside, Karrow said. The golf club, at 10684 W. Edgewood Rd., is owned by Bill Burkardt, Polo. Smoke from the burning building could be seen from
as far away as Mt. Morris and Dixon. “Heavy black smoke was showing when we got there and flames were blowing through the roof,” Karrow said. “It took us 15 to 20 minutes to gain control.” Firefighters kept the fire from spreading to nearby buildings, he said, and remained on the scene until 5 p.m. The Mt. Morris, Forreston, Oregon, and Dixon Rural Fire Departments, and Advanced Ambulance assisted Polo at the scene, while the Milledgeville Fire Department manned the Polo Firehouse.

Lady Hawks dispose of Newman to advance Teamwork pays off for Oregon at sectional By Andy Colbert Reporter Two things were apparent in Oregon’s 25-20, 25-16 win over Sterling Newman at the 2A volleyball sectional in Pecatonica Tuesday, The Lady Hawks need to pick their game up to have continued success in the postseason and that means more than the Delaney MahoneyEmy Wright show. Tuesday night, it was Mackenzie Skoumal coming up with critical points when Whitney Long Oregon’s Mackenzie Skoumal puts the ball past Newman’s Rachel Humphreys and needed, leading the way in kills with Teagan Hinrichs at the Pecatonica Sectional Tuesday night.

making plays all over the floor. “Mackenzie and Whitney were on fire. So was Sommer,” Oregon coach Faith Watson said. “Actually, we have 12 contributors. Everyone is valued.” In the first game, Oregon jumped out to a 3-0 lead and kept that cushion the rest of the way until Newman scored three straights points on Oregon return errors to cut the lead to 19-17. Needing a play to quell the Lady Comets’ momentum, it was Skoumal scoring what was probably the most important point of the game. Rhea followed that up with another point and Oregon regained control 21-17. The only scoring Newman would have the rest of the way was on service errors,
as Oregon reclaimed its net dominance. “It wasn’t the best game we played and it wasn’t the best game they played,” Watson said. “We were looking ahead to Thursday and the girls didn’t have respect for Newman (14-18).” Oregon looked a bit sluggish in the second game also, as Newman took a 10-9 lead. Then Rhea reeled off two kills, Mahoney had two aces and Newman standout Madalyn Wilson misfired on a kill attempt and Oregon had six unanswered points. Wilson, a 6-foot sophomore, got her team back in it with a block to pull within 15-13. A Rhea ace that slid over the net and a flurry of kills by Long and Wright closed the game out for the Turn to B3
Hawks beat Chicago Raby 30-22 to advance 14-0 deficit did not matter to OHS on Oct. 31 By Andy Colbert Reporter The long strange trip for the Oregon football team continues for another week. It was exactly a month ago that Winnebago was two yards away ending the slim playoff hopes of a 2-4 Hawk team at the time. On Oct. 31, at LandersLoomis Field against Chicago Raby in the 3A playoffs, Oregon was down for the count again. Trailing 14-0 and yet to make a first down against a team with two D-I defensive linemen, the Hawks rallied for an improbable 30-22 win. “We’ve faced adversity over and over and keep coming back,” Oregon tight end Bailey Bright said. “This was a case of a team over talented individuals. Nobody can grind it out like Oregon Hawk football.” Early in this game, it was Raby doing the grinding. After Preston Robinson intercepted quarterback Jerrick Orsted, the Raiders drove 90 yards in 12 plays to take a 14-0 second-quarter lead as the Hawks looked outmatched. Quarterback Travis Powell, the third D-I player on Raby’s roster, passed for the first touchdown and ran for the second. Finally, the Hawks made a first down on an 11-yard Chris Jordan run. Then Garrett Rude ripped off a 41-yarder and it suddenly was first-and-goal. “Once we made a couple long runs, it was like we flipped the switch on,” Rude said. “Coming in, we were tentative and nervous. Looking at film, we knew they were bigger and faster than us.”
Three plays later, Rude crashed over for a 2-yard score to cut the lead to 146. Three plays later, he recovered a Raby fumble to give Oregon the ball back in Raby territory. And then in another three plays later, Rude ran 20 yards to tie the game 14-14. The score was set up by a 34-yard Jordan run. “I don’t know what happened to change the game around,” said Raby coach Dangelo Deffer, shaking his head with disgust. “They were letting our two big boys (Jamal Milan and Malik Haynes) run free and over pursue.” “I don’t know if we’ve seen kids like those two before,” Oregon coach John Bothe said. “We had to make adjustments to run away from them.” With 50 seconds left in the half, Orsted nearly gave a gift to Raby in the form of a potential pick-6 in the flat that was dropped. Israel Dosie, who caught an 18-yard pass for Raby’s first touchdown, jumped the Orsted pass and had nothing but open field ahead of him. “Oh man, that’s hard to take. He’s a senior and our best receiver,” Dereef said. On the first drive of the second half, Orsted was masterful in directing the Hawks on a 15-play, 65-yard drive to take a 22-14 lead. On fourth-and-9, Orsted found Jordan for a first down and then on third-and-9, adroitly pitched to Brayton Finch off the option for a 10yard gain. “I kept telling my line, ‘we got to make a statement on this drive’. The pressure wasn’t a concern at all,” Orsted said. “There was no question of not going for it on fourthand-9. We had to score,” Bothe said. “We couldn’t shut them off. Getting fumbles was about our only Turn to B2

Preparation, execution will be keys on Saturday By Andy Colbert Reporter Here are the facts. Under coach Mike Papoccia (29611 in 34 years), Sterling Newman has won five state titles and has two runner-up finishes. The Comets are ranked No. 1 in 3A, after holding that spot in 2A all season. In fact, the Comets are the smallest school in 3A, after romping to a 2A title last year. Newman has only been held to 40 points once this year and is undefeated. The only close call was a 20-14 win in week 1 over a very
good 2A Rockridge squad. “We’re excited about this game,” Oregon coach John Bothe said. “It will come down to who can move the ball and who can slow the other team down.” The two teams are mirror images in how they run their offenses. Both use the ground game almost exclusively, occasionally throwing a pass when needed. From tackle to tackle, the Comets average 230 pounds across, led by Western Illinois signee Jacob Barnes (6-4, 250). “I’ve heard that this might be the best offensive line
coach Papoccia has had,” Bothe said. “Barnes is legit. He’s similar to the two Raby kids.” Besides outstanding line play, Newman is blessed with three solid running backs, including Garrett Rude’s cousin, junior Brady Rude (58, 170). The other two backs are Dillan Heffelfinger (5-11, 200) and Nolan McGinn (63, 195), as the trio has put up over 3,000 combined yards. “They’re fast and run a lot of the same plays,” Bothe said. “We’ll need to make some timely stops.” Logan Whitman, a 5-11, 170-pound junior
quarterback, throws about three times a game and has completed nearly 60 percent of his passes and has only one interception to seven touchdown passes. When the Hawks are on offense, a major concern is Barnes at his defensive tackle position. “He’s very disruptive,” Bothe said. “We need a plan for him.” Bothe also cited linebacker and safety play as other Newman strengths on defense. “They really move to the ball,” he added. Another concern is being
prepared for Newman’s disciplined style of play. Though Oregon also takes this approach, the Hawks were beat at their own game in 2009 by a more mentally prepared Comet program. “I was disappointed with that game,” Bothe said. “As the game wore on, our players looked like they were beat. We will be stressing the mental approach in practice this week.” Game time is 7 p.m. Saturday on the new artificial turf at Roscoe-Eades Stadium in Sterling. Earlier in the day, Sterling will be hosting Woodstock Marian in the 5A
playoffs. Oregon athletic director Mike Lawton requested that the game be played Friday night so it wouldn’t be at the same time as the volleyball super-sectional slated fort 6 p.m. Saturday. According to Papoccia, Newman had a student retreat activity that precluded them from playing on Friday. “We did all we could to have it on Friday,” Lawton said. “If we are fortunate enough to win Thursday in volleyball, it’s a shame there would be two great accomplishments by our athletes conflicting.”

Lady Hawks beat Byron to win volleyball regional Seniors make sure Oregon gets to sectional again By Andy Colbert Reporter Ahead only 23-22 in the third set of its 2A regional title game against underdog Byron on Oct. 30, the No. 1 seed Oregon volleyball team desperately needed someone to make a big play or two. As they have done all year, it was seniors Delaney
Mahoney and Emy Wright to the rescue. Mahoney, an all-state candidate at setter, put the ball right where Wright needed it and the results were two kills to close out the nerve-wracking final, 25-23. “We’ve been together for six years,” Mahoney said. “We know where each other are going to be and our back row does a good job of calling out the shots.” “I just knew Delaney would get it to one of us, however she could,” Wright said. At the outset, it didn’t
appear the match would get this close. The Lady Hawks raced off to a 25-12 first set win, before outside hitter Brook Seiler led Byron to a 25-17 win in the second game. Oregon led from start to finish in the third game, but never by more than three points. A key moment occurred with Oregon ahead 19-17 and the two teams
engaged in the longest volley of the match. It appeared as though the Lady Hawks won the volley, but as they began to celebrate, Byron dug the ball out from seemingly nowhere, only to see it go out of bounds past Oregon’s end line. “We were cheering like we had the point,” Oregon coach Faith Watson said. “If that landed in, that could
have really changed the game around for them.” In the second game, Oregon came back from a 4-point deficit to make it 16-16. Then, uncharacteristic errors by the Lady Hawks gave Byron a 9-1 run, allowing them to win the game and gain momentum. “Two things happened,” Watson said. “Byron is a good team and is underrated.
They adjusted and hit on our weaknesses. We would have rather played Rockford Lutheran.” “All year they dominated us, but the last time we played, we began to figure out their game,” Byron coach Aimee Dach said. “We had a big emotional game against Lutheran before and had a bit Turn to B3

Big plays lift Hawks past Raby, into second round From B1 way of getting stops.” Finch gave Oregon its first lead 30-22 on a 4-yard lean over the goal line, as the large Hawk crowd erupted, while the three total fans in the Raby stands remained silent. Powell quickly drove his team back and tied the game up with a minute left in the third quarter on a 22-yard run and extra-point conversion. Oregon’s winning scoring drive took two fourth-down conversions, a fumble that fortuitously bounced in the arms of lineman David
Labash and what Dereef termed a controversial touchdown call by the officials. It was Rude, Oregon’s goto-guy, that got the call on the fourth-down conversions, the first of which came inside Hawk territory On the second fourth down, he broke free for a 30yard run. With a first-and-goal at the 1-yard line, the 285-pound Milan and equally large Haynes led a Raider goal line stand that stopped Oregon for no yardage on the first two plays. Offensive play-caller Nate
Rogers then called Orsted’s number on a rare quarterback keeper. The rangy 6-foot-4 Orsted met Tavarion Troupe head on a yard out and dove over for the apparent score on the bootleg. “That was a blown call by the line judge. He made another bad one on an extra point we should have scored on,” Dereef said. “You can quote me on that.” “I had leverage on (Troupe) and the whole ball was over by a foot,” Orsted said. Orsted found Josh Cook for an insurance PAT and the Hawks led 30-22 with four minutes left.
Powell nearly took the ensuing kickoff back, but slipped on the 43-yard line. Two quick first downs put the Raiders in scoring position at the Hawk 30-yard line. It was there that Oregon finally got the stop they had been waiting for. A holding penalty set Raby back, and then Hawk lineman Matt Crandall drove Troupe back for no gain, setting up a fourth-and-5. A bad snap sailed over Powers head and Crandall tracked it down for a recovery, roughing up Powers in the process. “On the third-down play,
I knew (Troupe) was a fast kid, so I sat back and let him juke,” Crandall said. “Frank (Lung) came over and helped me clean up on him. That mentally set us up for the final play.” Crandall had eight tackles, including two for losses. Cook led the Hawks with 10 tackles, followed by Jordan with nine. Early in the game, Rude made his presence felt from the free safety position with crunching blow on a Raider receiver. “After we started hitting them, they started to pull their arms in on pass plays,”
Rude said. The Hawks also recovered three fumbles to help turn the tide in their favor. “The fumbles were all a result of second effort,” Rude added. “One kid would tie them up and another would knock him down.” Raby outgained Oregon 321 yards to 274, but had substantially more penalties against them. “They made mistakes and we didn’t,” Bothe said. “Those fumbles killed us,” Dereef said. Oregon (6-4) travels to Sterling Newman (9-0) for round two of the playoffs.
Sports Column What week for Oregon High School athletics By Andy Colbert Reporter As I write this column, I can look out my window and see a Sterling Newman mini bus parked directly across the street. Apparently, it broke down leaving the cross-country meet at Oregon Park West on
Saturday. Could this be a symbol, I wondered? With both Oregon volleyball and football facing Newman in post-season play this very week, maybe it’s meant to signify that Newman will have breakdowns by its sports teams. Why else would it happen to break down in Oregon instead of another town? A bad, bad omen for Newman, right? Then I remembered what a philosopher said once. If
a tree falls in the woods and mini bus happened to be next to it, there is a good chance that mini bus would need repairs from a body shop. So taking this philosophical reasoning and thought into my overwrought theory about the broken-down Newman bus and a connection to Oregon sport success, I guess the only thing pertinent is that a mechanic is needed. Time to move on. What a week for Oregon athletics. As if the thrilling regional win over archrival Byron by

the volleyball team wasn’t enough, the footballers gave fans their money’s worth and then some in a come-frombehind win over Chicago Raby. Besides Oregon advancing to the second round of the IHSA playoffs, it was a cultural lessen of sorts for us. Here was an all-black team coming from a tough part of Chicago to cornfield country. Just the week before, the center and kicker on that team had a brother killed in gunfire. “They went out and played Friday and buried their brother the next day,” Raby coach Dangelo Dereef said. “It’s a hard existence for a lot of them.” Dereef laughed when I asked him if any of the parents would be out to support their sons at the game. “They’ve got so many other problems to deal with, they can’t come all the way out here, especially on Halloween,” he said. “Hopefully, we can put a good show on for your fans.” It didn’t help matters that a Confederate flag was displayed in the school parking lot before the game. School administrators quickly addressed the situation, even bringing the police into matter. This column has always made a point about the need for sportsmanship among players, fans and coaches. Part of sportsmanship is being a welcoming host to your opponent. I’ve been a victim of crime
from the part of Chicago where Raby’s school is, so I can understand where prejudices can come into this. That doesn’t matter. I need to love each person from Chicago Raby and one way to do this is by being a good ambassador for my school and town of Oregon. This game itself was quite entertaining. Raby had the talent to win, but like most Chicago public league teams; they lacked the discipline to pull it off and mistakes were their downfall. On a sidenote, the football field looked absolutely fantastic. Credit to Bill Nesemeier and crew for keeping it in such good shape. Why is it that tiny Oregon can have such a top-rate playing surface, but Soldier Field in Chicago with its NFL-type budget has such a terrible turf? Of the 25 playoff games John Bothe teams have played, I’ve had the opportunity to see most of them. There was only one that I left disappointed with how the Hawks played. That was five years ago against the same Newman program that Oregon will face this week. It was also in round two and though the Hawks had a physical advantage, Newman won because they were mentally tougher. With the no-die attitude that the 2014 Hawks display, I can’t see that happening again. Another plus will be strength of schedule. Johnsburg, Lutheran and
Andy Colbert
Dixon are still alive in the 4A playoffs. The only team still alive that Newman played is Rockridge in 2A. A reporter from the Clinton, Iowa newspaper at the Fulton-Forreston game went as far to say that Forreston (1A) would contend with Newman for the title in the Three Rivers this year. But, this is Sterling Newman and they are in a class by themselves when it comes to being prepared to play. Add legendary coach Mike Papoccia to the mix and Oregon has a daunting challenge. But, this is Oregon and they are in a class by themselves when it comes to winning games they shouldn’t. Add a coaching staff that gets as much out of its talent as anyone around and we have the makings of a classic game Saturday.

Oregon to play Dakota Nov. 6 in sectional final From B1 Lady Hawks. Skoumal put an exclamation point on it with a tip into an empty spot on the court for the 25th point, as the large student cheering section from Oregon erupted in cheers. “I was hoping we could slow down the games with our hands on the ball and with scrappy play,” Newman coach Debbi Kelly said. “We didn’t get as many hands on the ball as we needed and had some bad serve receives.” Besides Long’s eight kills, Rhea and Wright had seven. Rhea, Mahoney and Bre Cullen combined for 15 digs and Mahoney had 23 assists. Oregon will play Dakota on Thursday at 6 p.m. for the sectional title. Dakota easily dispatched of Ottawa Marquette 25-11, 25-18 in the second match on Tuesday night.

Forreston hosts Chicago Hope Academy Nov. 8 at 5 p.m. By Andy Colbert Reporter Chicago Hope Academy, a nine-year-old private Christian school, travels from the near west side of Chicago to Forreston on Saturday to take on the Cardinals in a 5 p.m. match-up of 9-1 teams in the second round of the 1A playoffs. In a 30-16 win over Princeville, Hope got its first-ever playoff victory. They lost to Abingdon 48-32
last year and Aquin 42-38 in 2011. “We’re excited to in the second round,” Hope coach Stephen Pagh said. “We’re going to play fast and let it rip.” Play fast they do. The Eagles have four backs that average over 13 yards a carry. “Our kids find ways to make big plays. No one individual wins games for us,” Pagh said. “We run multiple formations on offense.” Keandre Murph has 1,321
yards, LaFayette McGary 1,129, Angelo Patterson 481 and Raheem Johnson 258. “They have several very effective running backs who are quick to hole and very elusive,” Forreston defensive coordinator Kyle Zick said. “We’ll have to play strong team defense and get as many players as we can to the ball carrier.” Quarterback Rashad Johnson has thrown for 712 yards on 43-for-67 with five interceptions and 10
touchdowns. “They ran the ball very effectively against a talented and athletic Princeville team last week and haven’t been held to less than 30 points all year,” Zick said. “That doesn’t happen by accident; they are talented. We’ll focus on what we can do as a team to limit their big plays and make them work for every yard.” On defense, Hope plays a 4-2-5 base. Pagh realizes his team will have difficulty
stopping Forreston’s offense. “Not many 1A teams can put as many big bodies in the line as they can,” Pagh said. “Their quarterback is a dual threat and they don’t seem to make mistakes.” The conference that Hope plays in is one of the weakest in the state and its only quality regular-season win was 40-22 over Ottawa Marquette. They also lost in overtime to league champ Rockford Christian Life, who is still alive in the playoffs also.
“We’ll just try to execute as a team,” Pagh said. “Our kids play hard and have good attitudes. Discipline-wise, we need to clean up on out penalties.” Forreston enters the contest playing their best ball of the season after the decisive win over a solid Fulton team on Nov. 1. Forreston is 14-19 all-time in the playoffs, including quarterfinal appearances under coach Denny Diduch in 2011 and 2012.

of insecurity and jitters in the first game.” In the final game, it looked like Oregon had the jitters. “It was a high intensity game,” said the team’s other senior Kelsey Pudlas. “They are scrappers. We didn’t crumble. We rose to the occasion.” After winning its third regional in a row and 10th in 12 years, Oregon (30-5-2) moved on to the Pecatonica sectional, where they’ll face Sterling Newman, a regional upset winner over Bureau Valley. “This is a stepping stone for us to keep rolling on,” Watson. “But for right now, I’m emotionally and mentally drained from tonight.”
in post-season success. Since 2007, Stark County has had two semifinal appearances and one state runner-up finish for an overall 14-7 record. “They play with a lot of poise, discipline and
in blitzing schemes,” Hofer said. Similar to all season, Polo will be the smaller of the two teams, but the difference won’t be that measurable. “Their line is bigger than ours, but nothing eyepopping,” Hofer said. Leading the Rebel offense is dual-threat quarterback Joe Charvat, who has rushed for 630 yards and thrown for 1,092. Though Polo had five picks against O-M, Charvat has thrown only six all year. Coach Jade Noard’s go-to running back is junior Chase Johnston (5-10, 170), who has 1,130 yards on 143 attempts. Noard also mentioned Logan Hollis and Thorin Hicks as top LB/WRs. Hicks (63, 180) has 26 catches for 547 yards. Top lineman is McCauley Johnston (6-0, 225) at C/DT. “The strengths of our team is our running game and only giving up 10 points a game on defense,” Noard said. Noard is concerned with Polo’s ability to score quickly and realizes his staunch defense will be tested. Game time is 3 p.m. at Toulon.

confidence because of that tradition,” Polo coach Andrew Hofer said. In its last 13 trips to the playoffs, Polo is 2-13, with both wins coming in the 2008 season. Ironically, their loss that year was to Stark County.
With a win over Ottawa Marquette, Polo is attempting to create its own legacy. “That’s one thing we talked about,” Hofer said. “Without much playoff experience, it was good to get that first one under our belts.”
According to Hofer, SC uses the spread on offense, with zone reads. On defense, it is an aggressive 3-4 monster with a floating safety. “We’ll try to use that aggressiveness against them and try to find holes

Man arraigned for sexual abuse Steve Irvin remains in jail in lieu of bond An Oregon man was arraigned in Ogle County Court Tuesday on a charge of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, a Class 2 felony. Steve Irvin, 49, was taken into custody by Ogle County Sheriff’s Police Monday after a warrant was issued for his arrest.
He appeared before Ogle County Judge John Redington on closed circuit television. The arrest stems from an incident that took place between Oct. 17 and 20. Redington said the complaint alleges Irvin placed his hand on the breast of a victim under the age of 13. “This is a class 2 felony,” said Redington. “Based on your record this is a nonprobation offense.” Assistant state’s attorney
Emily Seifert said Irvin has two prior felonies. If convicted on this current charge, Irvin faces a minimum six to 30 years in prison. Irvin was asked what he was doing about an attorney. “I would like to hire my own lawyer,” he said. “I am the only means of support for my family.” Irvin asked to be released from jail so he could continue to work and hire an attorney. “Are you telling me you
can not post anything?” asked Redington. “I can post a couple hundred,” said Irvin. “That is the same as nothing in my book,” said Redington. The case was continued until Friday, Nov. 7 at 1 p.m. Irvin was requested to fill out a financial affidavit to determine if a public defender would be appointed to represent him. Irvin remains in jail in lieu of $150,000 bond.
