Historic school needs new roof

Statue will be wrapped again By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Apparently Ogle County’s most well-known landmark will spend another winter under wraps. IDNR spokesman Chris Young said Monday that the Black Hawk statue near Oregon will likely be enclosed for the winter, but did not specify how or with what. “We anticipate wrapping (winterizing) the statue in mid-November,” Young said in an email. Until last June, the statue had spent the previous year and a half encased in green protective mesh wrapped around a scaffold. The scaffold and mesh was put up in December of 2014 by then

project conservator Dr. Andrzej Dajnowski from Conservation of Sculpture & Objects Studio, Forest Park, in an effort to protect the 105-year-old concrete monument from the elements. Because the statue is located at Lowden State Park, it falls under the jurisdiction of the IDNR. Information from the IDNR has been sparse about the fate of repair work on the statue designed by sculptor Lorado Taft as a tribute to Native Americans. All Young would say was that Simpson Gumpertz & Heger Inc., Chicago, is the architectural/engineering firm handling the project to repair damage to the statue caused by weather and time. Turn to A10

Crowds flock back to restaurant By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Like hundreds of other customers, Candy Trudell eagerly walked into Grubsteakers Restaurant upon it’s reopening last week. All were hungry for the home-style food and sense of community that had been

missing since an April 9, 2015 tornado destroyed the restaurant. “This corner means so much to this generation and those before them,” Trudell said. Traveling with her father from the family farm in rural Polo to deliver cattle to the Chicago stockyards over 50 years ago, Trudell

remembers many a stop at the corner of highways 251 and 64. “Originally, it was Sipes Corner. Grandma Sipes started the food business,” Trudell said. “I’m not sure how many different owners have been here, but it’s always good food.” Owner Ava Mirtoska was hard at work on Thursday

morning trying to rectify a problem with the credit card machine, as she welcomed Trudell and a friend to the brand new building. “So far, things have gone well. It’s good to have all the regulars back,” Mirtoska said. Trudell is more than a regular. Living in a house a Turn to A10

When the grassroots effort to save the Chana School was at full speed 18 years ago, restoration proponents knew that a new roof was one of the key elements crucial to restoring the unique tworoom schoolhouse. The dilapidated two-room school, built in 1883, had sat neglected for years in Chana, nine miles of east of Oregon, with rain and snow wreaking havoc on the unique wooden structure. “We knew we had to have a new roof,” said Connie Stauffer, an Oregon teacher who spearheaded the save the Chana School effort. “At that time, in 1999, a wooden roof was put on like one would have been in the 1880s.” In the restoration process, a new wooden roof was installed following original construction methods and guidelines to make sure the structure would qualify for the National Register of Historic Places. With the new roof in place, volunteers worked thousands of hours bringing the unique two-room school back to its original luster. Working without tax revenues, volunteers also held fundraising events to create the Chana School Foundation to make sure the historic structure could be

used as a working classroom to teach modern-day students what learning in a country school was like. It was placed on the National Register in 2005. But Stauffer knew something was amiss three years ago when a leak was detected in the big classroom school. “We thought it was just natural wear and tear until the leak appeared,” said Stauffer. “Sadly, due to environment conditions and ‘second growth wood’ the wooden roof is failing. We never guessed we’d have to do construction again. But you meet the challenges of life and go ahead. Hopefully, people will help us again.” Stauffer is asking area residents to help cover the costs for a new all-steel roof, estimated between $30,000 to $35,000. “That cost would be barring no other problems with 133-year-old materials in the structure,” noted Stauffer. “Many such roofs in the area face the same problem. The wooden roof was to last 50 years. To the Chana School Foundation, which maintains and runs the schoolhouse, it is a great disappointment that the roof needs to be replaced. The roof has already been patched once, but the shingles continue to degrade.” Stauffer said the National Turn to A2

Rain fails to deter Rock River Sweep volunteers By Earleen Hinton ehinton@oglecounty news.com A little rain didn’t deter 50 volunteers from doing their part to clean up the Rock River during the eighth annual Rock River Sweep Sept. 10. “It wasn’t our sunniest day, but we still had a decent turnout,” said Rock River Sweep.Org President Mark Nehrkorn. “We still had 50 people come out to pick up trash in the rain.” Volunteers started at 7:30 a.m. picking up trash and debris along and in a sevenmile stretch of the Rock River from the boat launch on Ill. 2, south to the boat launch at Castle Rock State Park. Some walked the shores while others used boats and canoes to fish garbage from the water. “We had the Illinois Department of Natural Resources’ boat along with canoes and flat-bottom boats and kayaks out collecting,” said Angela Mahoney, volunteer coordinator. “White Pelican Canoe & Kayak Rental, Inc., donated 10 canoes for us to use along with their shuttle service.” Collected bags and debris were brought back to “Sweep

Oregon Mayor Ken Williams, who volunteered at the event, said he found a Trump for President sign. “It came in very handy. I used it to cover my head when it rained,” he chuckled. “One of the volunteers wanted it.” Frank Masterman started

the Rock River Sweep in Oregon in 2009. The longtime Oregon resident was helping at Saturday’s event. “I am very pleased it is continuing,” he said. “I knew it would continue because it was a worthwhile project.” The Rock River Sweep

is an effort by many groups to clean the Rock River, from its origin in Horicon, Wisconsin, to where it meets the Mississippi River. Mahoney said the amount of trash collected is starting to decrease due to clean-up efforts upstream. “We have less each year because they start upstream,” she said. Saturday’s event was sponsored by RockRiverSweep.org, a grass roots, non-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving the health and ecosystem of the Rock River and its tributaries. Other sponsors included the Rock River Trail Initiative and the Rock River Times. Locally, the Oregon Area Rock River Sweep was also sponsored by the Ogle County Solid Waste Management, the Ogle County Highway and Sheriff’s Departments, the Oregon Park District, Oregon Together, White Pelican Canoe & Kayak Rental, and American Rivers National River Cleanup.

Repairs ongoing at Chana School From A1 Register of Historical Places does not recommend wooden roofs for historical structures any longer. “The organization suggests to use any material that looks like wooden material for roofs on historical buildings,” she said. She said the Chana School Foundation is working with local contractor, Jim Kloepping, Chana, on replacing the current roof with a steel shake-like roof. “After researching roof type materials, a committee decided that the durability of a steel roof was well worth the additional cost. Plus a steel roof would be warranted for 50 years,” Stauffer said. “The Chana School Foundation is a 501(C)(3) not for profit volunteer group. There is no tax based money supporting the schoolhouse. “This project of saving, moving, restoring, maintaining, and operating the old school has been accomplished by volunteers and organizations that have given whole heartedly and

committed to the task of saving our history for the next generation,” Stauffer said. “The Chana School Foundation needs your help to replace the roof at the

1883 Chana School. Your donation is imperative to secure this local landmark that is not only treasured for its educational values, but also its most unique Italianate architecture,”

Stauffer said. “Once again we can save history by rallying to get the job done.” Donations can be sent to: The Chana School Foundation, 201 River Road, Oregon, Illinois, 61061.

The school will be open for tours on Saturday, Oct. 1 during the Autumn on Parade festival. Construction of the new roof is tentatively slated for next spring.

Council discusses parking ordinance Tuesday By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecountynews. com OREGON – The City Council Tuesday banned parking vehicles on lawns. Commissioner Jim Barnes cast the sole dissenting vote. “If you have gravel, then it is OK?” he asked. “We are nitpicking here.” Barnes went around the town and found several other ordinance violations that should be addressed before more laws are created, he said, adding that he’s more concerned with junk in the yards than vehicles on the yard. Commissioner Kurt Wilson called the new ordinance a step in the right direction. “We need to start somewhere,” Wilson said. Commissioner Tom Izer agreed that the community should be clean and presentable. “This is not Kentucky. This is Oregon, Illinois,” Izer said. “It is historic. I would like to see it cleaned up.” Also Tuesday, the council learned that Samantha Anderson is a new part-time Economic Development employee, hired to help research and create marketing materials and maintain vacant property listings on a national website. The job pays $16 per hour and is authorized for up to 12 hours a week. Anderson, who also works part time in the Ogle County Probation Department, has worked for a private marketing company and has a master’s degree in the field.

Pullman cars served Oregon passengers for 60 years 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 Railway traveling was an improvement over riding the stage-coach. In 1851 we had three stage coach routes passing through Oregon. These were the Chicago and Rock Island Line, Dixon and Janesville Line and the OregonFreeport Line. In 1871 the railroad passed through Oregon. There were no facilities for sleeping. The passenger occupied a seat where he ate and slept. Prior to the combination seating and bunk beds, devices at $1 were sold to aid passengers to enjoy sleep. Basically it was a steel support that reached from the middle of the back of the head to a point below the shoulder blades. This supported a spring which responded to the jar or motion of the train car. After sleeping in his seat on a train trip, George Pullman designed an improved passenger railcar that contained sleeper berths for all it passengers. During the day the upper bunk was folded up and fastened to the ceiling. During the night the upper berth folded down and the two facing seats below it folded over to provide the lower bunk for the night. Curtains provided privacy and washrooms were at each end of the car for men and women. Pullman established his company in 1862 and built luxury cars featuring carpeting, draperies, upholstered chairs, libraries, and card tables. Pullman not only manufactured sleeping cars in his company town named

Pullman, he also operated them on most of the railroads in the United States, paying railroad companies to couple his cars to trains. The best years for Pullman were during the 1920s. In 1925 his fleet of cars grew to 9,800 cars. Twenty-eight thousand conductors and 12,000 porters were employed by the Pullman Company. The Pullman Company was known for its porters. The company employed African Americans exclusively to serve as porters.

In 1925 the porters became unionized as the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. It has been said that at one time Pullman was the largest employer of African Americans in the United States. In addition to rail vehicles, the Pullman Company manufactured trolley buses. More than 2,000 were produced. The Pullman Company also manufactured streetcars from 1891 to 1951. In 1943 Pullman Standard established a shipbuilding

division. In two years they built 34 war time PCEs. These were 180 feet long and weighed 640 tons. They also manufactured 44 LSMs, that were 203 feet long and weighed 520 tons. After George Pullman’s death in 1897, Robert Todd Lincoln, son of Abraham Lincoln, became president of the Pullman Company. Pullman sleeping, dining,

and parlor cars served Oregon until the first lightweight streamlined Zephyrs appeared in the mid 1930s. Pullman Cars served our passengers at the Oregon Depot for approximately 60 years and the Zephyrs for 45 years. I have mentioned before that Governor Frank Lowden married George Pullman’s daughter Florence. When our depot burned

in 1911 Lowden wanted an upscale depot for his town. Usually in a town our size the railroad would build a typical wood depot. We are fortunate that this brick depot was saved by then-Mayor Jim Barnes and refurbished by many volunteers. Drop by the depot and see our newly constructed viewing platform.

September is Library Card Sign-Up Month Library Card Sign-up Month is held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. It is a time when libraries nationwide join together to remind parents, caregivers and students that signing up for a library card is the first step towards academic achievement and lifelong learning. Card holders have free access to a family destination. As children head back to school, family time is often hindered by homework and afterschool and social activities. Data collected by the Harvard Family Research Project shows that families are integral to a child’s development in its report, “Public Libraries: A Vital Space for Family Engagement.” A public library card is your

ticket to free educational resources and activities that bring families together. Libraries not only provide resources to parents and children that support early literacy and lifelong learning, but truly transform how families spend time together.

Serenity awarded Gold Seal of Approval Serenity Hospice and Home recently earned the Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for Home and Hospice Care Accreditation by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards. The Gold Seal of Approval is a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to providing safe and effective care. Serenity Hospice underwent a rigorous onsite survey during the week of July 11. During the survey, compliance with home and hospice care standards reflecting key organization areas was evaluated,

including the provision of care, treatment and services, emergency management, human resources, individual rights and responsibilities, and leadership. The accreditation process also provided Serenity with education and guidance to help staff continue to improve. “We are thrilled to have been awarded this prestigious certification,” said Lynn Knodle, Executive Director for Serenity Hospice and Home. “There are only a few hospices in America with this prestigious accreditation and we are proud to be one of them.” Established in 1988, the Joint Commission’s

Home and Hospice Care Accreditation Program supports the efforts of its accredited organizations to help deliver safe, high quality care and services. More than 6,000 programs currently maintain accreditation, awarded for a three-year period, from the Joint Commission. “When individuals engage a home and hospice care provider they want to be sure that provider is capable of providing safe, quality care,” said Margherita Labson, RN, MS, executive director, Home Care Accreditation Program, the Joint Commission. “As the home and hospice care setting becomes increasingly popular, it is important

that these providers are able to demonstrate that they are capable of providing safe, high quality care. Accreditation by the Joint Commission serves as an indication that the organization has demonstrated compliance to these recognized standards of safe and quality care.” The Joint Commission’s high standards are developed in consultation with health care experts, homeand hospice care providers and researchers, as well as industry experts, purchasers and consumers. The standards are informed by scientific literature and expert consensus to help organizations measure,

assess and improve performance. “I’m very proud of Serenity’s staff who worked very hard to achieve accreditation from the Joint Commission, the premier health care quality improvement and accrediting body in the nation,” Knodle said. “Staff from across our organization continue to work together to strengthen the continuum of care and to deliver and maintain optimal hospice services for those in our community.” For more information about Serenity Hospice and Home call 815732-2499 or visit www. serenityhospiceandhome. org.

Public Voice Thanks for helping with the Rock River Sweep Dear Editor, The Rock River Sweep Organization would like to thank each and every volunteer who came out Saturday morning, Sept. 10, for the Oregon Area Rock River Sweep and walked through the rocks, grass, and mud, as well as all of the boaters who stayed out in the rain hauling loads of waste. A special thanks to those who sorted each and every bag of waste to separate out the recyclables. Even though we still swept quite of bit of waste from the river, there seems to be less and less garbage each year. We are making a difference thanks to all of you!

We would also like to thank the Oregon Area sponsors, because without your generosity and help, we could never make this possible. Thank you to the Ogle County Highway Department, Ogle County Sheriff’s Department, Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department, Oregon Park District, White Pelican Canoe Rental, Oregon Together, Rock River Times, Casey’s General Store, and the Rock River Trail Initiative. Oregon Mayor Ken Williams and City Councilman Terry Schuster, Grant Afflerbaugh and Rick O’Neil from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Sheriff Brian Vanvickle and Lt. Brian Ketter, the Oregon and Batavia Boy Scouts, and the Oregon High School National Honor Society also came out to volunteer on this

rainy Saturday. The sweep resulted in approximately 50 volunteers cleaning up a nine-mile stretch of the Rock River resulting in removing three barrels, two garbage cans, a duck decoy, wading pool, several baseballs and a softball, five tires, lumber, and many other miscellaneous and interesting items. We also filled a dump truck full of recyclable items, and one and one-half dump trucks full of waste. Again, thank you to all who helped make the Eighth Annual Rock River Sweep a success. Sincerely, Rock River Sweep Board Mark Nehrkorn Steve Rypkema Kayla Raper Angela Mahoney Oregon

Perfect weather for Arts Festival Sunny skies and mild temperatures made the 68th annual Grand Detour Arts Festival just about perfect on Sunday.

A regional art exhibit featured work from students in grades K through 12 and adults, whose works were judged throughout the day, some

for cash prizes. The event also featured food and music. Art lovers could part with a few bucks for admission, or plunk down some canned goods instead, for the Dixon Community Food Pantry.

The second annual Celebrating More Holidays Barn Yard Sale will be held, rain or shine, from Thursday, Sept. 15 through Sunday, Sept. 18 and reopen Friday, Sept. 30 through Sunday, Oct. 2 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily at 1194 W. Mud Creek Road, Oregon. â€œLast year, our four-day sale was such a success we thought we would reopen for Autumn on Parade weekend,â€? said organizer Karen Virnoche-Brown. â€œThe sale will consist of all holiday dĂŠcor and some winter clothes with a few surprises added in. We are fortunate to receive many unique items and this year we received many items from three estates.â€? The American Cancer Society (ACS) is â€œThe Official Sponsor of Birthdaysâ€? and the Bra Barn, where the sale will be held, is the official headquarters for â€œCelebrating More Holidays.â€?Â â€œFor 100 years, the American Cancer Society has been working to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Every birthday you celebrate is a victory and so is every holiday,â€? said VirnocheBrown, a cancer survivor.

This year over 14 million cancer survivors will celebrate another birthday â€” and holiday â€”thanks in part to the progress the ACS already made.Â â€œBut we canâ€™t stop there. With your help, we can create a world with even more celebrations, more laughter, and more holidays for all,â€? she said. â€œTogether we will achieve a day when cancer never steals another year from anyoneâ€™s life.â€? Research is at the heart of the American Cancer Societyâ€™s mission. For more than 65 years, the Society has been finding answers that save lives â€“ from changes in lifestyle to new approaches in therapies to improving cancer patientsâ€™ quality of life.Â The ACS pursues the answers that help understand how to prevent, detect, and treat all cancer types. Overall cancer death rates decreased by 1.5 percent per year from 2003 to 2012.Â â€œSixty years ago, one out of three people diagnosed with cancer survived,â€? VirnocheBrown said. â€œToday, thanks in part to the work of the American Cancer Society, two out of three will survive. Letâ€™s make it three out of three.â€?Â

Sculpture plans are being developed for Black Hawk From A1 “They are finishing up the plans and specifications for the work now, and will submit those to IDNR for review,” Young’s email read. “Once the documents are finalized the conservators will enter into a contract with IDNR through the recommendation of the Illinois Conservation Foundation.” Created by sculptor Taft in 1910, the 50-foot statue stands on a 125-foot bluff overlooking the Rock River and draws thousands of visitors each year. It was unveiled and dedicated in 1911. Black Hawk has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2009. Over the years, despite numerous repair efforts, parts of the statue have crumbled and fallen off. Winter weather has been especially devastating. Nearly eight years ago a Sterling couple, Frank and Cherron Rausa, formed the Friends of the Black Hawk Statue, a non-profit organization with the purpose of developing a plan and raising funds to have the statue repaired. Through the Rausas’ efforts, more than $750,000 of the estimated $900,000 needed was raised through fundraisers, private donations, and a $350,000

grant to the IDNR from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO). However, Frank Rausa said Monday that due to red tape and other delays in starting the actual repairs, most of that money has been depleted. “We had the money to pay for the project three years ago,” he said. “But because of all the procedural things it’s gone.” Except for the DCEO grant, which is tied up due to the state’s budget impasse, only about $70,000 remains in the fund. The fund is kept with the Illinois Conservation Foundation, an agency that supports IDNR programs. Rausa said more than $200,000 of the money was spent on a study to determine what needed to be done, including laser and other diagnostic procedures, and testing to determine the composition of the statue and what repair mixture would work best. Another $100,000 was spent on rental of the scaffolding as well as putting it up and taking it down. The repair project ground to a halt earlier this year because of the state budget woes and a conflict between Dajnowski and project engineer Amy Lamb Woods, from Simpson Gumpertz

& Heger Inc., over how the repairs should be made. Due to the conflict, Dajnowski declined to sign a new contract with the IDNR, and that agency began the search for another conservator. State Rep. Tom Demmer (R-Dixon) promised Oregon residents he would be a “strong advocate” for the statue at a June 21 meeting sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce.

because of the atmosphere and how friendly it is,” Gillie said. As breakfast morphed into lunch, the crowds kept on coming. Due to the credit card glitch, a sign on the door greeted customers saying ‘cash only.’ With how long people were waiting for Grubsteakers to reopen, there probably wasn’t any complaining. The clientele knew how much effort it was for Mirtoska, a single mom originally from the Balkan region of Europe, to start from scratch in rebuilding a new Grubsteakers. Former Oregon resident Kerry Hughes entered the restaurant Thursday morning with a big appetite and even bigger smile. The lifelong area resident best summed up what has happened 16 months ago until now. “In life, storms come and destroy everything that we know, but something new can always rise out of the destruction and debris. Grubsteakers allows us all to be witnesses to this,” he said. Grubsteakers is open daily from 6 am to 9 pm.

few hundred yards east of Grubsteakers, she survived the tornado with her boyfriend Bill Hubbard’s mother. The seven-generation Hubbard family farm is directly across the corner from Grubsteakers and still exhibits remnants of the damage an EF-4 storm can wreak. In an odd twist of fate, some of the farm equipment flew across the corner, landing on the house Mrs. Hubbard and Candy were in. Though the house was destroyed by the tornado and the farm still needs major repairs, Trudell looked forward to returning to Grubsteakers, a place that has become a landmark because of the tornado. “Even before the storm, this was a famous crossroads. You meet so many people you haven’t seen for a while,” Trudell said. A cross section of America was in the restaurant that morning, all enjoying large servings of breakfast fare. “It’s a staple of the community,” said Nathan Maahs of Davis Junction, attacking a meat and potato

skillet dish with eggs on top. “You see farmers, truckers, businessmen, and families.” One of those businessmen was a middle-aged man named Mike from the western suburbs. He was waiting for a business appointment. “I was glad to see it up and running,” he said. “I travel a lot and places like this are more friendly than the chains and always have good food.” Mike could relate to the struggles of owning and managing a food service establishment, as his parents had a restaurant in Chicago. “It’s a very competitive, takes a lot of time, and is hard work. Credit to Grubsteakers for keeping it together for so long,” he said. The new building earned high marks from Maahs, who has been bringing his wife and children there for 10 years. “It’s beautiful. I’m glad to see it’s stronger than ever,” Maahs said. “The food’s wonderful and Ava hires wonderful staff. That gives it a personal touch not seen everywhere.” One of the staff members was new waitress Maggie Gillie, Rochelle. “I came here to work

Lady Hawks down Sterling Newman in two games Next up: North Boone Sept. 15 By Cody Cutter ccutter@saukvalley.com Communication is key, and the Oregon Hawks now know just why that is after their 25-9, 25-15 home win over the Newman Comets on Sept. 7. Junior outside hitter Gylian Finch knew that her team has a strong bond off the volleyball court, and wanted to expand upon that when it came time to play. So before Wednesday’s match, the Hawks came together and thought of some goals to help them move forward after a sixth-place showing this past weekend at their own invitational. Having energy and pushing through became two goals of note. “We’re a real close team outside of volleyball,” Finch said. “We were starting to talk and communicate, and for the past couple of days we’ve been working on hustling and teamwork, and cheering each other on. We brought that to the court, and it made a huge difference Oregon’s Allyse Ketter goes up for the block against Newman’s Mary Jensen during a [from] the past couple of match on Sept. 7. Photo by Philip Marruffo, Sauk Valley Media weeks.”

Pushing through was something the Hawks (7-7) did well from the start. They opened with a 7-0 lead and extended it to 9-1 after Finch’s third and fourth kills of the set. Only twice did the Comets (4-6) string together consecutive points in the first set, the second such occasion coming on a pair of Madalyn Wilson kills. Once the Comets’ passing game improved in the second game, they made the match tighter. “We did a very good job at pushing when we were up,” Finch said. “We started a little slow in the second game, but we kept going up and up.” Newman had a 13-10 lead after Wilson’s fourth kill of the second set, but the Hawks put together another long string of points after that under the service of Allyse Ketter. Having concluded the first set with an ace, Ketter added two more to help build a 13-point run. Finch accounted for five of the points with kills, and Meredith Gelander’s kill gave the Hawks a 10-point lead at 23-13. “Our girls did a great job talking on the court, and

off the court our bench did a nice job,” Oregon coach Faith Watson said. “That was something that we worked on in practice. We’ve been struggling a little bit with our communication, so I thought that was much better tonight.” “Having a bunch of energy on the court and off the court, the bench did a phenomenal job of giving energy to us,” Finch said. “It helps us push harder, and makes it a little easier for us.” Finch had 14 kills and three blocks to lead the Hawks, Haylie Rorbeck dished out 21 assists, and Aleah Wight had seven digs. Wilson led Newman with five kills and an ace. Madison Craft also added an ace for the Comets, who were without senior libero Mady Ferris (concussion) for the sixth straight day. “Our passing wasn’t there in the first game,” Newman coach Debbi Kelly said. “As we improved in the second game, we saw some better things happen. We’ve just got to keep learning to make better decisions once we have opportunities, and don’t take opportunities away from ourselves.” The Lady Hawks host North Boone on Sept. 15.

Meeting for OHS girls soccer team set for Sunday, Sept. 18 The Oregon Soccer Organization will lead a meeting about the new Oregon High School’s girls soccer team on Sunday, Sept. 18 at 3:30 p.m. in the high school gym. All girls interested in playing soccer need to come to this meeting. “There are some exciting opportunities coming up for the first ever girls soccer team at Oregon,” said Seth Heitter vice president for the Oregon Soccer Organization.

“The players and parents for the inaugural season 2017 will make history when they step onto the field this spring. The Oregon Soccer Organization is looking to get contact information and to meet with the players and parents that are interested in playing for the first ever Oregon Lady Hawks High School Soccer Team.” Heitter urges those interested in joing the team to attend. “This is a very important

meeting and we need players and parents interested in playing to attend,” Heitter said. “The meeting will be lead by the Oregon Soccer Organization. The OSO was formed to bring soccer to Oregon High School. The OSO helps with uniforms, equipment, team banquet and other miscellaneous items that arise. Hope to see a lot of High School Girls there!” For additional information, contact Heitter at seth. heitter@d428.org.

Hawks lose to Dixon 1-0 From B1 defender Alejandro Aburto were like minesweepers, diffusing any potential Hawks’ scoring opportunity before the forwards got too deep. The match might have been broken open early in the second half if it weren’t for Gill’s solid play. Gill made

12 saves, including several that required diving stops in a crowded area. The Hawks were also playing without starters Kyle Cermak and Kaden Humphrey, as each missed the match due to an illness. That meant for a shuffled lineup, but the new group didn’t break.

“To know we can play with a team like Dixon not at full strength is a good feeling,” Gill said. “I think after this one, you’ll see us make some strides.” The Hawks host North Boone on Sept. 15 before traveling to Indian Creek on Sept. 17 and Buron on Sept. 20.

said. “They are much more organized now and have turned into a very solid football team. It is another tough game for us.” After three games, Mennen leads the team with 328 yards rushing on 43 carries. Cullen is 44-for-213 and Devin DeHaan is 24-for-

Sports Column Tigers, Cards looking good on the football field By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com After the third week of the football season, a few

things are starting to become apparent. Byron and Forreston are very good, Stockton has supplanted Polo as the class of the NUIC Upstate division, and Oregon and Stillman Valley have some work ahead of them if they are to make the playoffs. On paper, Forreston should get through its next three

games, though Amboy is still an enigma, before locking horns with pre-season favorite Lena-Winslow and a surprising EPC. The convincing win over Dakota puts Forreston in the driver’s seat of the northwest division. Much of the publicity given to Forreston is for offensive firepower, but don’t underestimate their

defense. It is a special group. I had a chance to see Polo play for the first time and it seemed weird. I had to constantly look at my program to see who the players were. Seriously, I didn’t know who anyone was. That’s what happens when you graduate a class like last year, besides adding a new head coach. Though Stockton hammered the Marcos, I liked what I saw from Polo and its new head coach Jeff Bumstead. They went toe-to-toe with Stockton early on and were able to move the ball. They were aggressive on defense and are capable of finishing at least 7-2, or 8-1 if they can get by EPC. The non-conference tilt EPC will tell more about where Polo is at, but the rest of the games are winnable, though Bumstead feels the division no longer has any bottom feeders. It also seemed strange not to have a fresh-soph game prior to varsity play. Anymore, that’s the nature of small-school football. Even some varsity teams, such as Rockford Christian Life, one year after making the state playoffs, are forfeiting games. That’s why one has to be impressed with Stockton’s (181 enrollment) roster of 27

upperclassmen and 30 freshsoph players. Unfortunately, Stockton won’t be tested the rest of the year, as its crossover game is against the worst team from the Northwest - Pecatonica. They will enter the playoffs like Polo did last year, not knowing exactly how good they are. Besides having a huge bearing on each team’s playoff chances, the OregonNorth Boone game could have gone either way for the past five years. With only so many wins to be found in the rugged BNC, indeed there is special significance to this annual clash. Sadly, Oregon gave this one away and will need to knock off an improved Rock Falls on Friday to make the post season. On the positive side, Lutheran is down, Stillman barely beat NB, and Rockford Christian is on the schedule. One team that is under the radar, but stands out to me is Winnebago. Numbers are down, but the Indians have some key athletes that have been playing on varsity since they were sophomores. One final note on football - those of us in the media make too big of a deal on the success of a team being tied into whether they make the playoffs. Whether it’s being in a

brutally-tough league or games being decided by a play or two, a 3-6 record could easily be 6-3. That was the case for the Hawks last season. If Oregon, or any other team fails to make the post season, the real barometer needs to be more than that. The true definition of success is whether a team gets the most out of its available talent level. Another example that comes to mind is Fulton. Last year, Fulton finished 4-5 and missed the 1A playoffs. I contend they were good enough to play in the state title game. The five teams they lost to, including 2A and 3A schools, all had success in the playoffs.

State approves Lee-Ogle Enterprise Zone Sept. 7 By Rachel Rodgers rrodgers@saukvalley.com The state has approved the Lee-Ogle Enterprise Zone, solidifying a partnership between the two areas to more effectively reel in business development for the next 15 years. The State Enterprise Zone Board gave its blessing Sept. 7 for the zone, which will go into effect Jan. 1. The region ranked sixth out of 18 applicants vying for 12 available spots. â€œThis is some tremendous news for the region, as it assures the continuing existence of the areaâ€™s primary economic development and incentive tool,â€? said John Thompson, president of the Lee County Industrial Development Association. The areaâ€™s existing zone was established in 1986 and expires at the end of 2017, but the newly approved zone will cancel out the old oneâ€™s last year. Thompson said the zone has served as a crucial factor in establishing thousands of jobs and attracting more than $1 billion in business development to the area.

â€œWithout the zone, we would not be where we are today in terms of investment, tax base and employment,â€? he said. The shared zone will allow agencies in Dixon, Rochelle, Lee and Ogle counties to strengthen their efforts to boost economic growth throughout the region, said Jason Anderson, director of the Greater Rochelle Economic Development Corp. â€œThe joint enterprise zone allows us to take barriers down and allows us to work together to bring economic development to our areas,â€? Anderson said. He said being able to offer incentives for existing businesses to expand or new ones to move into the area helps to offset negative perceptions companies might have with the Illinois business climate. â€œItâ€™s pretty much the only economic development tool we have left in Illinois,â€? Anderson said. The zone expands 15 square miles, and 1,100 acres have been set aside for future development projects that might crop up.

This map shows the new Lee-Ogle Enterprise Zone, with exception to about 1,100 unassigned acres reserved for expansion. The zone, approved Wednesday, will go into effect Jan. 1.

The two primary incentives the zone can offer to businesses are sales tax exemptions for building materials and property tax abatements.

The zoneâ€™s lifespan will stretch to Dec. 31, 2031, and the state will undergo a review of the zone after the first 13 years to deem whether the region qualifies

for a 10-year extension. â€œI think weâ€™re really going to see the benefits in the next couple of years,â€? Anderson said. Though the board approved

the zone, it will not be officially sanctioned until a certification is issued by the director of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

Larry Prindaville, former Sinnissippi Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer, and Marvin Lindsey. The foundations for Sinnissippi Centers, and many other agencies like it, were laid when President John F. Kennedy signed the Community Mental Health Act into law in October of 1963. Around the same time local efforts were underway to try and address the need for better mental health services, located closer to the

communities where people in need of these services lived and worked. From those converging forces, the Sinnissippi Mental Health Center was incorporated on May 31, 1966, and began officially providing services on July 1, 1966, from two office locations, Dixon and Sterling. The agency served the same four county area it does today from the beginning In its first fiscal year (July 1, 1966 – June 30, 1967), Sinnissippi Centers served the mental health needs of

847 consumers with a staff of 16 full and part-time employees. “Over the years, we have added many programs and services and expanded from mental health into substance use treatment, individual and family counseling, early childhood mental health, as well as many more programs and services,” said Phelan. ”We changed our name to reflect that evolution, from the Sinnissippi Mental Health Center to Sinnissippi Centers, Inc. “More than 1,000

individuals have worked for the agency over our half century history fulfilling our mission of providing quality, coordinated, and responsive behavioral healthcare services.” For more information on Sinnissippi Centers’ 50th Anniversary Gala, visit online at www.sinnissippi. org, or call 815-284-6611.

A spiritual or philosophical awakening will help you make a life-altering decision. Follow your heart and start something new. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Financial matters should be handled with care.
