City helps RRC
Superintendent seeks input on its replacement
A $5,000 amendment to the city budget will help a local senior center continue to provide transportation in the community. “I would like to amend the budget to donate $5,000 to the Rock River Center,” said commissioner Jim Barnes. “We can afford $5,000.” City officials approved the multi-million dollar budget unanimously Tuesday night with the $5,000 Rock River Center funding. Finance Commissioner Terry Schuster said Barnes had approached him about the possibility of adding a line item in the budget to assist with senior transportation. “He said there is a critical shortage for senior transportation,” said Schuster. “This is a need because of the state budget shortfalls.” Rock River Center Executive Director Ann Haas said the support from the city is appreciated. “The state approved a stop gap budget but there is no word about when we will receive any state funding,” said Haas. “This $5,000 will help us continue our transportation services.” Schuster said the overall city budget has reserve funds and a balanced budget “The reserve in the budget is our rainy day fund,” he said. Mayor Ken Williams thanked the department heads and commissioners for the time spent on the 2017 budget. “This is a big hurdle that is done well,” said Williams. “The budget process is always long and drawn out. Thank you.”

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Oregon school officials have decided it’s time to replace playground equipment used by youngsters in the school district for almost three decades. Superintendent Tom Mahoney said July 22 that the castle towers, twisting walkways, and slides of Project PLAY (Play Leads to Active Youth), located just outside Oregon Elementary School, will soon be coming down. “We’ve had an increase in kids getting injuries on Project PLAY, mostly splinters,” he said. “There’s no way to maintain it and guarantee no injuries.” In the interest of student safety, the demolition will happen before school starts next month, Mahoney said. The all-wood construction of the unique playground, built by volunteers in 1989, is its downfall, he said. “Twenty-six years is a long time for something that’s all wood even if it gets treated,” Mahoney said. Portions of the playground were removed a few years ago and replaced. Because the playground gets a lot of use in summer, signs have been put up warning the public about the potential for splinters.
Project PLAY was constructed by community volunteers in October 1989. This photo of just a portion of the playground was taken from one of its many towers. The playground is located behind the Oregon Elementary School. Photo by Earleen Hinton
Project PLAY was the brainchild of retired teacher Nancy Ryder, Oregon, who had seen a similar Robert Leathers playground in her hometown and immediately believed Oregon should have one. She and Deb Wuebben were co-chairmen of a committee to get the project off the ground and raise the needed $45,000. “The idea was to give the children a creative play area — anything that leads to imagination,” Ryder said. On the other hand, Ryder said she can understand the decision to remove it. “I’m not surprised that they would want to take it out because it’s high maintenance,” she said. Ryder said the Leathers company representatives, who designed the playground after getting input from the community, helped with every aspect. “They told us everything we needed and how to go about it,” Ryder said. “We

ordered special pine from Georgia. They [Leathers] were very specific.” After months of fundraising, including a Pennies for the Playground drive at the elementary school, hundreds of volunteers converged on the
school grounds on Oct. 1115, 1989 for a five-day build to put it all together. “We had so many people volunteers who were good at so many things,” Ryder said. “We had electricians, carpenters, ministers. It was really neat.”
“There was a diversity of ages of the people who helped,” said retired teacher Marilyn Berg, a member of the Project PLAY committee. “We had a nursery for the children of the people building, and food Turn to A10
Construction work is humming along at historic library By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Reading a good book under a shade tree will soon be an option for patrons at the Oregon Public Library. Construction was humming early this week as crews cleared trees, spread gravel, and then poured concrete for a patio, new sidewalks, and handicapped parking stalls. The work is part of the library renovations that started inside earlier this year. A large area outside west and north of the library was prepared for the patio and parking stalls.
Library Director Andrew Dettman said four parking stalls will be west of the building, accessible from an alley and convenient to the new elevator on the north side. The patio, he said, will have outdoor furniture where patrons can relax with a book and a cup of coffee. A drive-through book drop-off box will also be located in that area. New sidewalks wrap around the library from the front to the elevator, which is part of making the building compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Out front, the set of A crew from Sjostrom & Sons, Rockford, were busy pouring concrete for the new walkway in front of the Oregon Turn to A2 Library on Tuesday morning. The work is part of a remodeling project at the historic library. Photo by Earleen Hinton

New banners for downtown recognize city’s arts history By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com New banners throughout downtown Oregon will recognize the rich artistic history of the community. Eagles Nest Art Galley (ENAG) members Jan Harvey, Dixon, and Cindy Winterfield, Lost Lake, painted the artwork that was selected for the new banners. Harvey did a rendition of Black Hawk Statue and Winterfield did an eagle. The statue is one of the first things visitors to the area think of, and eagles along the river are also linked with the area.
“These new banners reinforce the arts,” said Oregon Mayor Ken Williams. “This is an artistic community. The banners turned out well.” Each artist received $250 for having their designs selected for the new city banners. The banners will go up on the street poles this summer. Heading one direction through town the Black Hawk image will be visible and heading the other direction will be the eagle. The two artists were glad their artwork would hang together. “We paint together and take art trips together,” said
Winterfield. “I am thrilled to have our art back to back.” “I love it,” said Harvey. “This is so fun. We are really good friends.” The two learned about the request for art on new banners and decided to enter. When they learned that both were selected as cowinners they were happy for each other. “We are thrilled for each other when our art is shown,” said Winterfield. “This is good for the Eagles Nest.” This was not the first time an ENAG member was selected to have their designs used for a city project. The late Harry Nurmet designed the city flag.
Artists Jan Harvey, left, and Cinde Winterfield, right, were presented with a Welcome to Oregon banner by Oregon Mayor Ken Williams Monday afternoon. The two artists created the art work selected for the banners. Photo by Chris Johnson
ADA projects are underway From A1 steps nearest the street was removed and replaced with a sloped sidewalk, further enhancing the accessibility for handicapped library patrons. Inside the elevator will go to all three floors of the building, and new handicapped accessible restrooms have been added to the basement. Another part of meeting ADA standards was lowering the book stacks and
increasing the space between them. The building is a Carnegie library, built in 1908 with money donated by Pittsburg businessman and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The ADA projects are part of a bigger plan to make $500,000 in renovations to the library and address at least some of the space issues the library has dealt
with over the years. The plan has included keeping the original flavor and design of the library as much as possible. Dettman said the inside is nearly done except for installing the elevator. “We’re waiting for the elevator. That’s the hold-up,” he said Tuesday. An open house is planned on Autumn on Parade weekend Oct. 1-2.

Serving the Oregon area since 1851 The Oregon Republican Reporter is published weekly by Ogle County Newspapers, a division of the B.F. Shaw Printing Co., Shaw Media. 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.

Twin Cities Zephyrs ran through Oregon 1935-1970 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 Harold Nance, ticket agent at Oregon, remembers taking his son into Chicago to watch the Pioneer Zephyr make its publicity run from Denver to Chicago on Nov. 11, 1934. Stations along the route were protected by local police officers and members of the American Legion and the Boy Scouts of America. The Pioneer Zephyr broke the record for nonstop train travel land speed. Harold also mentioned taking the Zephyr to California on the California Zephyr to attend the Rose Bowl. They had their own sleeping quarters, and he recalled the waitress would come to their room and receive their order for meals and ask when he wanted the meal brought to their quarters. He also mentioned going up in the Vista Dome observation deck. The California Zephyr ran on the Burlington Main Line from Chicago, through Princeton to Denver. Amtrak runs on this route today. Ralph Budd, president
of the CB&Q, teamed up with Edward Budd, an auto mechanic, to build a lightweight train with the use of stainless steel. The stainless steel exterior matched the clean simple and efficient interior. Zephyr was named for Zephyrus, the Greek god of the West Wind. The first Zephyrs were articulated train sets that were permanently coupled together. The first Zephyrs containing three cars that entered service in April of 1935 proved to be too small. Six-car train sets were introduced Dec. 18, 1936. The first Zephyrs that ran through Oregon from 1935 to 1947 were articulated train sets that were permanently coupled. In 1947 domed Zephyrs replaced the articulated permanently coupled trains. The new Zephyr offered the flexibility of coupling individual cars as needed. This new system called consists contained 7 to 14 cars. Burlington was the first railroad to use domed cars. These domed cars could seat 24 passengers under the non-glare safety glass domes. Here the passengers could ride in air conditioned comfort and fully enjoy the panoramic view of the country side. There were five vista dome
cars on each train. The Twin Cities Zephyr traveled west from Chicago through Oregon to the Mississippi River and then followed the river to Minneapolis-St. Paul. The Oregon Depot was a busy place. Three ticket agents were available 24 hours each day. The Burlington ran five passenger trains each way between Chicago and the Twin Cities, four of them in the daytime. The so-called streamed trains only stopped at the larger depot locations. In Oregon you could leave The Burlington Zephyr makes a stop at the Depot in the 1930s. Photo courtesy of Otto Dick Oregon early in the morning, be in Chicago by 9:15 a.m., conduct your business, get back on the train and be back in Oregon in time for supper, stopping only in Aurora on the way back. Many of our visitors at the Oregon Depot mention riding the Zephyr to Chicago and several from the Dixon Area recall riding the Zephyr to Minneapolis. How many of you can recall riding on the Zephyr? The Burlington Twin Zephyrs ran from 1935 to 1970. In Oregon, we had steam and diesel-driven passenger service for 100 years before President Bush signed the Amtrak legislation.

Fundraising effort brings in $1,000 Serenity Hospice and Home was recently given $1,000 from gofundme.com.  This large international fundraising website was a part of Serenity’s 100 Miles for Hospice walk on the Pacific Crest Trail by Jim Cole from Polo.  “Mr. Cole was going to walk the trail with his sons and wanted to turn it into a fundraiser for Serenity,� said Angie Theisen, Community Relations Manager for Serenity. “He had many family and friends who did not live in
the area so it made sense to set up a gofundme account so that they could donate online. We are so glad that we did.� The corporation collects money from contributors and deposits the money, minus five percent, into the campaign’s bank account. One day the chief financial officer (CFO) of Serenity noticed a new $1,000 donation. “I was very surprised to see this large deposit in our account one day,� said Kathy Groenhagen, CFO of Serenity. “Especially since Mr. Cole’s
pledge drive was nearing its end.� That same day, Theisen received an email from gofundme stating that the 100 Miles for Hospice campaign had touched them and their employees had chosen to donate $1,000 to the campaign. “We were all shocked,� Theisen said. “We certainly were not expecting such a generous donation from such a large company. Most people have been surprised to hear that such a large corporation actually gave back to our small
campaign.� Gofundme is a San Diego company which began in 2010. It allows people trying to raise money to tell their story and collects online contributions. Gofundme takes five percent of each donation.  It is the largest website dedicated to online fundraising in the world. Cole’s gofundme page raised a little over $2,800 and with other pledges he made a total of $5,000 for Serenity Hospice and Home.

What a tremendous gift for a righteous cause. Glad we played a part by buying raffle tickets. Good luck in your recovery, Scotty, and thank you Jared Dambman for your generous donation.
Public Voice Thank you for all the support Dear Editor, On Saturday, July 16, there
was a fundraiser in downtown Polo to raise money for Scotty Powell who was in a car accident this past January where he sustained a severe brain injury.
It turned out to be an amazing day where a community came together to show incredible support for Scotty and his wife Bekka. Hundreds gathered that day for live and silent auctions, a bags tournament, food, a wine pull, and raffles. This day not only represented how much people wanted to show financial support, but a day that family, friends, and community members came together to show how much they care for Scotty and his recovery.
We would like to thank everyone who made this day possible. It would be impossible to name everyone involved because it took so many people to make this day the success that it was. Our thanks also goes beyond the day of the event. Since January, Scotty and our families have had an overwhelming amount of support and encouragement. The thoughts and prayers that have been sent his way are also greatly appreciated. In addition to the ultimate care that Scotty has been

Free pie just part of Forreston’s Hometown Days By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com Crawling and jumping on inflatables followed by free pie was a recipe for success at Hometown Days despite the hot and humid weather Saturday. According to weather reports, the feels-like
temperature was 106 degrees Saturday with the mercury in the low 90s and the humidity at 80 percent. “The free kids activities were very well received,” said Forreston Area Business Association (FABA) president Gene Green. “They really got into the pie eating contest.” Green said he was the
judge for the contest and enjoyed watching the different techniques for eating the pies. Nine-year-old Madysen Carpenter plopped her face right into her apple pie and started working from the middle while 14-year-old Matthew Homman worked his way from the edge of a pie.
“They all seemed to enjoy this contest,” said Green. There was also a spaghetti eating contest for the kids. A beer garden with live music was scheduled for the evening and was held despite a few setbacks. “The band was good but the night started with a severe storm,” said Green. “It rained hard for 90 minutes,
but 140 people waited out the weather and the band took the stage. Everyone was having fun once the rain stopped.” The rain was the end of a hot and humid day. “It was so blasted hot Saturday, but it all worked out and the people that came out had fun,” said Green. “That is what matters. We

Oregon is one of six rural grant sites Oregon is one of only six rural communities throughout the United States to be selected as a Rural Crowd Fund Demonstration Site. This research project is funded by a USDA Small Business Innovation Research grant awarded to and administered by The Local Crowd based in Laramie, Wyoming. The proposal, submitted as a collaborative effort of Oregon Together, the Oregon School District, Oregon Chamber of Commerce, Oregon Park District, and City of Oregon, focuses on providing opportunities for high school students to work with the community to launch funding campaigns for local projects. Campaigns implemented will demonstrate the effectiveness of this platform as an engine for economic development by spurring local investment and providing access to capital for businesses and organizations. Demonstration sites will be provided access to technology to launch funding campaigns and receive extensive training to support

Heat fails to stop Hometown Days From A8 cloud cover early in the day was helping the action by providing some shade for the athletes.

implementation of projects. “This project will allow the school district to develop a successful business model and school curriculum around innovation and entrepreneurship,” said Tom Mahoney, Oregon School Superintendent in a press release. “Small businesses may benefit from specific projects that would focus on retention, expansion, marketing and an environment created to support local entrepreneurship and encourage collaboration and cooperation within the local and surrounding business communities.” Donna Mann, a member of the Oregon Together Steering Committee, said the technology platform provided as part of the grant
will allow participants to use social media to develop and implement funding campaigns for various community enhancement projects including retention and expansion of existing businesses, preservation of historic resources, and new small business development. It will also provide opportunities for youth to explore and implement innovative entrepreneurial projects and businesses to help them learn business management skills useful throughout their lifetime. “Our dream project is to be able to create a creative ‘maker-space’ for teens to interact socially and learn business management skills by running a student-run business,” Mann said. The technology platform
will support educational programs to help keep youth in the community through development of small businesses. Aaron Sitze, Cheryl Bunton, Kim Radostits, John Zuber of the OHS faculty and Mahoney will lead this effort. Community leaders supporting this group include Ken Williams, Terry Schuster, Erin Folk, John von Tish, Mel HenriksenBrant, and Mann. All team members are currently involved in an eight-week training program being facilitated by The Local Crowd. Additional local advisors and mentor swill be encouraged to provide assistance as various projects emerge.
“For breakfast more than 250 people were served Sunday,” he said. “The Lions served 350 for the pork chop dinner Saturday.” Even with the higher temperatures, Green thought Hometown Days was a success. “Next year the weather will be perfect,” he said. “At least we might have less heat and humidity.

Local Farmers More Optimistic About The Industry Than Those Surveyed Nationally
BY JERMAINE PIGEE For Northern Illinois Ag Mag
Farmers Forum Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the future of agriculture in the U.S.? Why? Ed Livengood, 35, Milledgeville “I’m young and I have a lot of years ahead of me. As a self-employed farmer, I need to be optimistic. There are a lot of reasons to be pessimistic, but it would make it hard to get out of bed if that is all you are thinking about.” Karl Tautz, 51, Mount Carroll “You always have to be optimistic. Farmers are coming off of 10-year record profits and now, prices are a lot lower. The farming economy is still growing, but it’s not making the record numbers that were made the past 3 or 4 years.” Dan Lamoureux, 33, Lanark “Over the long term, I am optimistic, but I am cautiously optimistic. It’s tough to factor in all the things that can affect the market when you are
talking profits. We are also affected by the growing season and what the weather is doing. It’s difficult to pay close attention to all the different factors and find a balance. For the rest of my career, there will be challenges. It can be stressful, but it’s part of the job.” Leonard Sheaffer, 65, Dixon “I’m optimistic about farming. It cycles. Prices go up and prices go down, and you have to weather the lows. If things were that good and easy, everyone would be doing it. If you are an internal pessimist, you don’t really have any business farming.” Nathan Hummel, 34, Dixon “I’m really optimistic for the long term, but for the short term, I’m pretty nervous. I feel like it will be a crawl back up to where things used to be. Input costs started started going up when I first went into farming, and it will be a while before everything balances itself out. We have to run things on a tight budget for the next couple years unless something drastic happens.”

Chris Johnson, 35, Oregon, then a fourth grader, remembers his class soaping screws for the crew of volunteer builders. Other students washed the tires that were part of the creative play complex.

Workers applied their skills to different areas of the playground under the supervision of a construction foreman. The playground measured 12,500 square feet.
Ella and Jack Robeson, age 10, stopped by Project PLAY on Monday to play while visiting their grandmother Carol. “They love this park,” said Carol. The Oregon School District has posted signs at Project Play that say “Caution: Play at own risk. You may get splinters.” The playground is slated to be torn down soon. Photo by Earleen Hinton

Oregon couple opens river outfitters business White Pelican offers new view of Rock River By Terry Thomas For Sauk Valley Media When Aaron and Christy Sitze moved to Oregon 15 years ago, they were immediately captivated by the town’s rustic charm and the region’s natural beauty. “We came here from the [Chicago] suburbs and were just blown away,” Christy said. “The town was so friendly, and we were so exited with all the things to do outdoors,” like hiking, camping, and observing nature and wildlife in the three state parks that surround the community. But one of the biggest attractions for the married couple was the Rock River. “We really loved taking the family out on the river” to canoe, kayak, and just experience the waterway’s breathtaking scenery, Christy said. “And we loved sharing it with our friends.” This year, Aaron and Christy decided to take that love a step further and open an outfitting business that offers water lovers and nature enthusiasts such as themselves the opportunity to explore the Rock River’s allure directly, by paddling and floating along its storied currents. White Pelican Inc. offers customers the opportunity to rent canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and inflatable tubes and travel the Rock River. The company began operations May 1 from its base at historical Conover Square, on North Third Street in Oregon, adjacent to the Rock River near the town’s dam. The response so far has been positive, and the Sitzes hope to build on their early success. “We’ve sort of been ramping up,” since May 1, said Aaron, also an English teacher at Oregon High School. “On Memorial Day, we just got swamped. And last Saturday [June 25], we had about 60 people and almost sold out.” Customers have come from near and far. “The cool thing is, we’ve had local people, people from all over the state – Rockford,
Peoria, the suburbs,” Aaron said. “We’ve had people from Iowa and even Puerto Rico and Colorado.” The company offers a variety of travel packages to fit all skill levels and travel itineraries. River enthusiasts can choose from itineraries that go from Oregon to Castle Rock State Park or ones that go from Oregon to Grand Detour. Customers even can make their trip into a camping adventure, spending the night at a walk-in campsite at Castle Rock set up especially for canoers and kayakers. “We always ask people their level of experience,” Aaron said. “We have a 10-minute tutorial” emphasizing safety and the nuts and bolts of navigating the river. “We show people how to paddle, what to do if they begin to feel unstable, that sort of thing.” “We’ve had beginners – people who’ve never kayaked or canoed before – and people who are really experienced. The nice thing about the Rock River is it doesn’t offer any challenges for the beginner,” said Christy, a former volleyball coach at Oregon High who now is director of Power Up Volleyball, a northern Illinois club volleyball organization. Customers are provided with maps of the river’s channels when they launch so they can decide where to travel on the waterway. The river’s main channel is easy to navigate and ideal for novices, Aaron said. For more experienced customers, the maps also highlight side channels, which offer more challenges. White Pelican can accommodate groups or individuals. The canoes, kayaks and other watercraft are rented out from the back of Conover Square. Aaron oversees equipping customers and launching them on their trip down the river. Christy oversees reservations, payments, and the waivers customers must sign before taking off. Their two boys – Alex, 17, and Joshua, 14 – also help out, making White Pelican truly a family business. When customers rent their kayaks or canoes, an itinerary is established, Aaron said, with an agreed-upon

destination and expected arrival time. White Pelican has a van that picks travelers up when they arrive at their destination. Aaron said the name White Pelican was chosen because the majestic birds symbolize the river’s natural appeal and allure. The pelicans are also one of the avian species that make the Rock River a destination stop for bird enthusiasts,
who can see plenty of other species as well, including bald eagles, kingfishers, and blue herons. In addition to birds and other wildlife, the river from Oregon to Grand Detour also offers lots of stunning vistas, with Castle Rock State Park and Lowden-Miller State Forest gracing the shores along the way. “It’s very scenic from Oregon to Grand Detour,”
Aaron said. In fact, the U.S. Secretary of the Interior in 2013 announced that the Rock River had been officially incorporated into the National Water Trail System, which recognizes “water trails of local and regional significance,” according to the Rock River Trail Initiative website. For the Sitzes, the river is but one of the attractions
the Oregon area has to offer tourists. “This is a very rich area for recreation, and it’s going to continue to grow,” Aaron said. “There’s great places to stay, great places to eat, great parks. There’s just lots of things to do here.” “We’re really excited about all that is happening here. People are really working to make this a destination stop,“ Christy added.
It’s a budding family business.

Screenings for Oregon students are July 28, Aug. 4 Extracurricular students must undergo testing Dates for pre-participation drug, alcohol, and nicotine testing for Oregon school district students have been announced. Testing will be Thursday, July 28, from 9 to 11:45 a.m. and 1 to 5:45 p.m. and Thursday, Aug. 4, from 8
a.m. to 11:45 a.m., and 1 to 3:25 p.m. at the Blackhawk Center, Oregon. The cost is $30 per student. Testing is mandatory for all students in grades 6-12 prior to participating in any athletic extra-curricular activities for the upcoming school year. Any fees required and completion of the preparticipation drug test will be due before the first competition (game, race,
match, etc.) KSB Corporate Health and Wellness staff will test the students. Call Oregon High School at 815-732-5300, ext. 4041 to schedule an appointment. Students who are unable to attend either of the scheduled dates should call the KSB Oregon Clinic at 815-732-3151 to schedule an appointment at the Oregon facility. When calling for an
appointment in Oregon, students should identify themselves as OHS students. All payments must be made at the Blackhawk Center Athletics office, and a receipt of payment must be presented at the KSB Clinic if testing is completed there. In order to conduct the testing at either site a parent consent form must be presented at the time of the testing. Students can not be tested
without the official parent consent form. Consent forms may be found on the school website listed below. In addition to the mandatory testing, every student in grades 6-12 planning to participate in athletics within the Oregon School District must have a current physical, concussion form, and the consent/ registration form on file in the office before they will be allowed to practice.
These forms can be turned into the office at DLR Jr. High for junior high students or Blackhawk Center for high school students at any time before the first practice of the athlete’s first sport. Sports physicals are good for one calendar year, at which time they must be renewed. Information on forms and fees are also be found on the district website, www.ocusd. net.
The only thing that matters to a player is experiencing what it feels to be like on
that football field one more time with a bunch of kindred spirits.
Sports Column Beautiful night for alumni football game By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com For the third year in a row, it was a beautiful summer night for the alumni football game. Played under the lights at Landers-Loomis Field, the game serves as a prelude to the regular season football and delivered another large crowd of Hawk supporters. According the Chuck Hulke, who manages a sixstate area for Alumni Football USA, Oregon remains one of the shining stars of the national organization. “They does a good job of maintaining a team year after year,” Hulke said. “A lot of schools do it a couple years and take a break. That makes what Oregon has been able to do unique.” The driving force behind
the Oregon alumni team is Corey Fry, a 2000 Hawk grad. An impressive 40man roster and thousands of dollars raised for the high school sports program is a testament to his hard work and efforts. The Hawk alumni team is one of the few that even have custom-made jerseys. While other communities have struggled to put an alumni team together, enthusiasm in Oregon has remained high. In fact, Corey mentioned to me that guys are already talking about signing for next year, including some newcomers. One thing I find intriguing about these games is how an alumni team is a reflection of the community. At least, that what the Rock Falls-Oregon game seemed like. I view Rock Falls as a town that is rougher around the edges than Oregon. That exactly how the two teams appeared to be. On paper, Oregon was the favorite. Certainly they would wear down the visitor,
I thought – by virtue of talent, having more bodies and operating as a wellorganized machine. In their shiny new uniforms, they even looked better than the rag-tag unit from Rock Falls. It didn’t work out that way, though. Rock Falls, with guys being knocked out of the game seemingly every other play, kept on getting up from the canvas. In a spirit of cooperation, Mark Robinson of Oregon and expert on sports injuries, spent more time tending to the injured Rockets than he did on the playing field. With 22 losing seasons out of the last 23, Rock Falls players are used to get beat up and perhaps that seasoned them for playing alumni ball. So, how did they manage to pull off the upset? Rock Falls played simply for the sake of playing, if that makes any sense. Like junkyard dogs, they played if their lives depended on it. It was sports at it purest essence.
It didn’t hurt either that they got the breaks. A gridiron sage once said that the difference between winning and losing are two or three plays that could have went either way. All three of the alumni games Oregon has been involved in were more competitive than what I had imagined. Maybe that’s why football has such an appeal. It manifests a competitive nature that goes way beyond high school, college and pros. It is even found in alumni game football. To all the Oregon boosters that came out to support the endeavor and all the former Hawks that donned a uniform again, a hearty thank you. You are what make me proud to be a part of this community. Finally, one of the beauties of an alumni game that isn’t found in high school, college and pro is that it doesn’t matter who wins the game and it doesn’t have to be pretty.

Township merger request will be on November ballot By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The Ogle County Board gave its blessing Tuesday evening to the proposed merger of two townships. At the request of officials from Lafayette and Taylor Townships, the board unanimously approved a resolution to place a referendum on the Nov. 8 ballot to combine the two. For that to happen, a majority of voters in both townships will have to approve the referendum. Taylor Township Supervisor JoAnn Reynolds said officials in both township have discussed the move for several years and support it. “It would make much sense to do it now,” she said. “Both townships are solvent. If we wait four years that could turn around.” Lafayette Township Supervisor Cliff Jones agreed. “We’re not broke, we’re just not going very far,” he said with a chuckle. Both he and Reynolds agreed that the decision to combine the townships
should be up to the voters. “It will save money. It will save lots of money,” Reynolds said. “We’re halftownships now. This will make us a full township. I think it has to be done.” Taylor Township Road Commissioner Ed Bettner said road work could be done more efficiently if the merger takes place. “We can maintain the roads a little better as one township,” he said. He said most of Taylor’s roads are seal-coated and most of Lafayette’s are gravel. “We could help with that,” he said. County board member Pat Saunders, Polo, spoke in support of the merger, as did Lee Meyers, Byron, and Lyle Hopkins, Polo. “I think it’s a great idea, and I commend you both,” Saunders said. The two townships touch each other with Hoosier Road as the north-south boundary between them. Taylor lies directly south of Oregon-Nashua Township with the Rock River forming most of its western boundary. Lafayette lies just to the east of Taylor. Lee County
borders both on the south. Both are in rural areas of the county and are sometimes referred to as “half-townships” because they are about half the size of most others. Lafayette is 18 square miles and has a population of 170 people. Taylor is 15.5 square miles and boasts a population of 963, largely due to the Lost Lake Subdivision. Saunders asked which county board district the new township will be in if the referendum passes. Currently, Lafayette is in District 2 with White Rock, Pine Rock, and OregonNashua Townships. Taylor is in District 8 with Brookville, Lincoln, Eagle Point, Buffalo, Pine Creek, Woosung, and Grand Detour Townships.

Organizations, groups, clubs, businesses, and individuals are encouraged to volunteer to fill the positions of ‘Section Coordinator’ in each of the communities along the Rock River for the Eighth Annual Rock River Sweep, to be held on Saturday, Sept. 10. Last year, Section Coordinators planned clean-ups in the Hustiford, Horicon, and Watertown areas of Wisconsin, and in the Rockton, Roscoe, Machesney Park, Loves Park, Rockford, Byron, and Oregon areas of Illinois. Rock River Sweep.org is looking for people who can help in those areas and the many other areas along the Rock that are in need of coordinators to plan local clean-ups. RockRiverSweep.org is a grass roots, not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving the health and ecosystem of the Rock River and its tributaries in Wisconsin and Illinois by partnering the communities along its banks into a unified, volunteer effort of river revitalization and annual
clean-ups. The group is hoping to have more sections of the river cleaned up this year to continue to improve the quality of this beautiful river. Larger communities may require multiple sub-sections and coordinators to head up each sub-section. Some of the duties of the Section Coordinator are as follows: 1. Work with RockRiverSweep.org organizers to assure a uniform and successful clean-up. 2. Acquire clean-up supplies and other support from local businesses, (T-shirts, gloves, flyers, waste disposal, etc.). 3. Work with local media to recruit volunteers for your section for the clean-up day. 4. Work with neighboring section coordinators to prevent overlapping of sections. 5. Use the “Organizer’s Handbook” (provided by RockRiverSweep.org) to assure a successful clean-up effort. 6. Register your section of the Rock River Sweep with RockRiverSweep.org and with American Rivers. AmericanRivers.org may supply free trash bags if
Democrats meet Aug. 10
registered in advance. 7. Recruit, assemble, and register volunteers for the event and assign areas to clean-up. 8. Coordinate ‘post-cleanup’ recyclable-sort and trash disposal. 9. Arrange for proper disposal and recycling of all materials collected. 10. Report clean-up results to RockRiverSweep.org organizers and American Rivers. Essentially, Section Coordinators will be planning and conducting the clean-up in their local section, but will be doing it as part of a much larger group. Limited grant funds of up to $100 per clean-up section are available from RockRiverSweep.org to cover costs such as trash bags, gloves, and waste disposal costs. For more information or to register as a Section Coordinator for the 2016 Rock River Sweep, email contact@ rockriversweep.org, visit www.rockriversweep.org, visit their Facebook page at Rock River Sweep.org, or call Steve Rypkema at the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department at 815-732-4020.

Astrograph Take your time, don’t leave anything to chance.
THURSDAY, JULY 28, 2016 LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Letting emotional problems seep into your professional life will not lead to advancement. Offer your skills and a positive attitude, and confront domestic issues with peace and love. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you search for information, you will discover something that will clear up confusion about a personal matter. Your effort to excel will pay off. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Speak up on behalf of someone who cannot do so for him- or herself. Your ability to offer a reasonable alternative will make you a hero. Love should be a joyful end to a hectic day. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Jealousy will stand in your way. Step back and consider whether it’s worth getting upset over something you cannot change. Focus on what you can do, not on what you cannot.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- A healthier lifestyle will save you from slipping into bad habits. Demonstrating discipline and a desire to be your best is favored. Love yourself and the people who support your efforts. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You need to move forward, regardless of what others do. An unpredictable situation is best handled with caution. Rely on your experience to guide you in order for a positive turn of events to unfold. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Good fortune will develop through patience, love and understanding. If you are sincere and consistent in your treatment of others, you will enhance your relationship with loved ones. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Listen to what’s being said and make adjustments based on what works for you. Trust in your knowledge, intuition and ability to visualize. Don’t let mixed emotions lead you astray.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you network and show off your skills, you will be offered a chance to take on something new and exciting. Contracts and negotiations look promising. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Put your emotions aside and become a participant. The experience you gain and the connections you make will be worth your while. Don’t give in to someone using emotional tactics. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Play it safe and ask questions if you are in doubt. Common sense should tell you who is offering you the truth and who isn’t. What you discover will help bring about personal change. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Dream on and proceed to make your dreams a reality. Carve out a working space in your home that is conducive to creativity and personal growth.
