Village board approves permit for Groenewold Fur By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com New tanks will be allowed at Groenewold Fur and Wool after the Forreston Village Board approved the building permit Monday night. The tanks are needed to reduce any chemicals in
waste water from the facility. “These tanks will prevent the foaming issues at the village’s waste water treatment plant,” said Alan Cruthis, the village’s superintendent of public works. “These new tanks are pretreatment.” Having the waste water pretreated will allow the
village’s system to work more efficiently, he said. Plans call for the tank to be buried on the south side of the building and covered with a lean to structure. “There are no issues with visual sight lines,” said village president Michael Harn. “They met with our engineer to discuss this.”
The one concern engineer Mic Gronewold had was ensuring a sampling manhole was constructed between the building and the village sewer. Trustee Jeff Freeze wanted to make sure Groenewold Fur knew about the manhole condition for the permit. Harn pulled out his cell
phone and called the engineer to ask about the manhole and if a meter or electricity was needed at the site. After the conversation Harn relayed the information to the board. “The manhole just needs to meet our specifications,” he said. “I would like to see this approved.”
The permit was approved 4-0. Trustees Marc Stamm and Tim Drayton were not present at the meeting. Cruthis said the manhole could be used in the future to allow the village or the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to gather samples of the wastewater from Groenewolds.
Teens arrested on drug charges Three teenagers are facing drug charges after a traffic stop in Forreston last week. Joshua V.A. Maronde, 18, Forreston, Keegan R. Sanders, 18, Leaf River, and a 15-year-old were arrested in the early evening hours Jan. 14 after Forreston police checked a suspicious vehicle on the north edge of town. Forreston Police Chief Mike Boomgarden said Maronde was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, and Sanders was charged with possession of cannabis, more than 2.5
grams and less than 10 grams, and possession of drug paraphernalia. They were transported to the Ogle County Jail. The 15-year-old was detained for possession of drug paraphernalia and was released to his parents. The Forreston Police Department initiated the investigation and was assisted by the Ogle County K-9 unit. Boomgarden said the investigation is continuing,and more arrests are possible.
County board rejects gun range By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com In a twist of irony, a tie vote derailed a special use permit requested by the Byron Sportsmans & Conservation Club. The Ogle County Board’s decision on a special use permit for a handgun caliber range at the club, located on Town Line Road, ended in a 11-11 deadlock Tuesday evening. The tie vote means the measure failed. The controversial request has been plagued by tie votes. Just last month, it was delayed when the Supervisor of Assessments and Planning & Zoning Committee, which met Dec. 8, ended up in a 4-4 tie twice after two motions, first to approve and then to deny. That meant the committee had no recommendation to take to the county board in December. In an effort to get the request back on track committee member Rick Fritz, Monroe Center, changed his no to a yes, allowing it to move on to the county board. Citing safety and noise concerns, most neighbors of the sportsman’s club have vehemently opposed the expanded range ever since club president O.K. Welty filed it earlier this year. Before Tuesday’s vote, Fritz, who is also a county board member, said he
would vote no. He said he had researched the issue, talked to people on both sides, and visited other gun ranges. “I guess it comes down to would I want it next door to me? The answer is no,” he said. County board member Lee Meyers, Byron, also said he would vote against it. He said the neighbors were told they would have to prove that the gun range would hurt their property. “They did prove it. It fell on deaf ears so far,” Meyers said. “Their property values will decrease, their peace will decrease, but mostly their safety will be jeopardized.” However, board member Ashley Simms, Rochelle, felt different. “I think the gun range is a huge asset to the county,” she said. Simms said she believes more citizens should be qualified for concealed carry and the gun range would be a good place to do that. Board member Pat Saunders, Polo, said she supports concealed carry, but not the gun range. “I agree we need a gun range in this county,” she said. “But I don’t think this is the right place for it. It’s too populated.” Fourteen conditions were added to the special use permit by the Zoning Board of Appeals, which approved it 3-2. Another seven were added by the Supervisor of Turn to A2

Girl collected 939 coats for HOPE By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com HOPE of Ogle County Director Ruth Carter was in for two big surprises Jan. 16 when she went to Byron Middle School for the culmination of a coat drive and fundraiser. Byron sixth grader Victoria Kuzlik, who organized the drive and named HOPE the recipient, had much more than met the goals she had set. Waiting for Carter in the main lobby of the school were 17 large boxes filled to overflowing with winter coats, hats, scarves, gloves and mittens. “We collected 939 coats — some of them are brand new,” 11-year-old Victoria told Carter. “Our original goal was 300.” But that wasn’t all. Carter looked stunned and a little bit tearful when Victoria also presented her with a check for $5,070. “I can’t believe you raised this much,” Carter said. “Thank you very much.” Victoria had hoped to raise $4,500 in addition to the coats. HOPE, a domestic violence shelter with offices in Oregon and Rochelle, has suffered a loss of funding because of the state budget crisis. Carter said the agency

serves 538 clients. “For our clients there’s enough winter coats here to get them through this winter and next winter,” she said. In fact, it’s more than enough, and Carter said the bounty will be shared with the YWCA in Sterling, Remedies in Rockford, and the homeless shelter in Rochelle. She said the coats would be distributed this week. Victoria began collecting coats in early December after
her father Bob Kuzlik bought her a new one for the winter. “We needed to decide what to do with the one I outgrew,” Victoria said. “Ordinarily we give them to Good Will, but I said ‘let’s have a coat drive.’” She decided on HOPE as the recipient because she and her father used their services a few years back. “My dad and I were victims of domestic violence,” Victoria said. “I wanted to give back to the places that
helped us.” She said they also received help from the Sterling YWCA. Victoria approached BMS Principal Zach Ettelbrick, who backed her idea and allowed her to get started there. As the plan grew, boxes for coats were placed at more and more local businesses. Victoria is a member of the Builders Club at her school, Turn to A3

Five seniors recognized as Illinois State Scholars Five Forreston High School seniors students have been recognized as 2016 Illinois State Scholars. Those attaining the honor are Mitchell Bratina, son of Joseph and Kathryn Bratina; Naeva Groenewold, daughter of Guy and Dawn Groenewold; Erik Kivisto, son of David and Sharon Kivisto; Anna Krecklow, daughter of Joshua and Mollie Krecklow; and Josiah Snider, son of Matthew and Stephanie Snider. This award is given annually by the Illinois
Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) which is recognizing 19,000 high school students from across the state as this year’s state scholars. Illinois State Scholars possess strong academic potential and are chosen based on a combination of exemplary ACT or SAT test scores and six semester class rank. State scholars rank in the top 10 percent of high school seniors from 652 high schools across the state. “To be recognized in the
top 10 percent of graduating seniors in the State of Illinois is a tribute to the students’ work ethic, desire to succeed, their teachers, and the support they receive at home,� said Travis Heinz, principal of Forreston High School and Forreston Junior High School. “The nice thing about each of these students is that they are not only successful in the classroom. Many of these students are leaders outside the classroom in the many extra-curricular activities they are involved as well.�

Businesses helped deliver donations From A1 and enlisted club members’ help wrapping the large boxes in Christmas paper. Eventually boxes were located at 38 businesses. The success led her to up her goal to 500 coats, and that was also soon reached. Cash donations also started coming in, and ranged from $10 to $1,000, Bob said. Kunes Country Auto Group in Oregon loaned them a pick-up truck to gather the coats from all the drop-off points. “We hauled six loads,” Bob said. “I never expected there to be this many.” He praised his daughter’s efforts.
“She worked very hard,” he said. “She made a lot of calls.” Victoria said she put in two to three hours a day on the project but is very happy with the outcome. “It’s crazy, just crazy to get this many coats,” she said with a grin. “It was fun but a little tiring with school and doing the coat drive.” Victoria plans to do it all over again — she’s already planning next year’s drive. “Next year I want people to put notes of hope in the pockets of the coats for HOPE,” she said.

Woman publishes memoirs at 99 Mary Beck Ecker celebrated her 99th birthday Jan. 8 at Pinecrest Community, Mt. Morris, with a special achievement: the publication of her memoirs, “Child of Two Countries: My China Legacy.” The book, published this month, is a collection of truelife adventures, thrilling and humorous tales and touching remembrances of life in China as a missionary’s daughter. From her birth in China in 1917 to her ocean voyage on a Norwegian freighter at 19 to attend college in the U.S., this young girl’s story tells of a rare and magical time on two continents between the two world wars. “I wanted to capture ‘my China’ and our times in America as it was in the 1920s and 30s,” Ecker said Author Mary Beck Ecker is pictured on the cover of her from her room in Pinecrest new book “Child of Tow Countries.” Manor. “I am privileged
to have witnessed historic events and fascinating people, and hope that by preserving them, these early experiences will not be lost.” The memoir also contains numerous photographs of daily life in China and America, as well as tales about swimming in “Paradise Pools,” hiking to the Cave of the Immortals, and sharing a Sunday sidewalk with Chiang Kai-shek and Madame Chiang. However, elements of danger were never far from home, with hazardous travel, deadly bandits, conflicts between armies and rumblings of war. Ecker was born in Yochow, China to missionary parents Edwin and Irene Beck, and lived on Tung Ting Lake in the Yangtze River Valley with her twin brother Bob and older brothers John and Jim.
Summers were spent on Lushan Mountain in the resort community of Kuling. Ocean voyages to the United States led Ecker to adventures in Colorado and Tiffin, Ohio. She traveled to the U.S. for the last time in 1936 to attend college in Ohio. She then moved to Elgin and South Elgin to marry and raise a family. Ecker’s career path has included work as a teacher, writer, antique dealer, and mother of three daughters: Paula, Sarah and Patricia, and son Christopher. She and her late husband, Paul L. Ecker, moved to Mt. Morris in 1997, enjoying life in Ogle County. Always a writer, Ecker is the author of numerous short stories, magazine articles and a youth novel, “Tai Lee’s Precious Seed”, published in 1948.

Four Highland staff presented excellence awards Three Ogle County residents were among Highland Community College employees honored Jan. 7 with this year’s Excellence Award and Opel Award. The awards recognize employees for quality work, creativity, honesty, integrity, self-development and excellence in their professional relationships. Excellence Awards went to Justin Ebert, Oregon, a full-time faculty member, and Rebecca Anderson, Forreston, part-time college employee. Jim Phillips, Forreston, a history and political science instructor, was the recipient of the Opel Award. Ebert is an agriculture instructor and advisor for the Ag Club. He works with agriculture industry leaders and many area farmers to offer the best for his students. Students have given excellent feedback about his teaching style and the handson projects he develops. He has taken his students on many site trips to be able to offer them real-world experiences. His relationship with the farming community has helped Highland acquire land for class projects,
which has also resulted in donations to the program. He also speaks to area high school students to promote the field of agriculture and the program offered through Highland. Anderson is the training coordinator for the HCC Business Institute. She has been instrumental in helping to develop the newly launched Lifelong Learning initiative. She has a strong commitment to excellence and is able to gather and assimilate information from a vast array of sources. As a Business Institute team member, she works with other team members who have high praise for her quality of work and ability to be a strong team player. She was able to re-establish and create a well-defined working relationship with the Illinois Manufacturing Excellence Consortium (IMEC). This relationship allowed her to coordinate two events with IMEC on campus, which provided great exposure for the college. Cafeteria manager Shelly Perkins, Stockton, also received an Excellence Award, in recognition of her student-focused projects. A committee made up of
Excellence Awards recipients from the precious two years, selected the winners in the following categories: fulltime faculty, administrative and professional staff, and part-time employee. The Highland Community College Foundation annually recognizes one employee with the Opel Award, named for one of Highland’s founders, Don Opel. The award recognizes employees who go above and beyond in serving or promoting the College. Phillips exemplifies what this award is about by stepping up to take on the role of interim Dean of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Fine Arts. Even with the challenges of overseeing a department and being an instructor for his students, he was instrumental in guiding and facilitating the creation of two new programs and the restoration of the full-time theatre instructor position. He is a key advocate for the fine arts and the increased commitment to strengthening the infrastructure for the arts at Highland. He also teaches classes for the Leadership Institute, a partnership between local organizations and Highland.

The team that guesses the mystery will each win a bottle of wine. The scripted dinnertheatre mystery not only takes place the evening before the big night but is set during a private party that the fictitious CSC Studios is throwing to celebrate their seven nominations. Guests will meet the three nominated stars, along with the director, producer, costume designer and publicist. Take part in the two-hour irreverent look at the movies, in which show business can be deadly. Not long after making her entrance on the red carpet just as the dinner begins, an actress is murdered by poisoned champagne. The guests will be handed clues to assist in solving this
perplexing case and will follow along to determine the likely suspect. The head of the studio commands authority and the murder might have been at his order; or was it the temperamental costume designer who stitched together a scheme to get the recognition he thinks he deserves; or was the devious deed done by the overly ambitious supporting actress? Tickets are available now for $30 in advance including tax and gratuity. Feel free to wear red-carpet-ready attire and enjoy an evening of entertainment, fine dining, and sleuthing.

Serenity makes donation to HOPE Serenity Hospice and Home recently celebrated the month of HOPE. They dedicated the month to raising funds and awareness among their employees for the HOPE domestic violence shelter. A HOPE tree was displayed in the Serenity Home, and employees could choose an ornament and
purchase the item listed on the back to be donated to the shelter. Many boxfuls of items were collected. The management team of Serenity adopted two families from the HOPE organization and fulfilled their Christmas wish lists. The employees also donated new or nearly new
items to be used in a silent auction. The employees raised $900 in the auction and Kathy Groenhagen, Serenity’s chief financial officer, recently presented the check to HOPE representative Ruth Carter. “As a not-forprofit organization we understand how difficult it can be financially,” said
Groenhagen. “We were all happy that we could assist our fellow not-for-profit agency and help to make Christmas a happy occasion for two families despite their circumstances. We at Serenity want our community to know that we care and we are happy to help.”

Sleigh finds new home
Dear Editor, I would like to thank everyone that supported and purchased tickets for the Horse Drawn Sleigh Raffle to benefit Rowen Wehmhoefer.
Many had no use or idea as to what they would do with the sleigh if they won, but still purchased tickets. On behalf of myself and my Oregon Park District coworkers we’d like to thank everyone that came in to help the Wehmhoefers and most of all, little Rowen Lewis. The sleigh has found a good home with the Skip Johnson family. No doubt it will be cherished for years to come. Again, I thank you for caring for others in their time of need.

Guest Column Phelan outlines future road for community behavioral healthcare By Patrick Phelan President/CEO Sinnissippi Centers, Dixon For many years, Sinnissippi Centers and our partner agencies in our region and across the state have suffered as funding from the state of Illinois has continued to erode. This year the losses have been at an all-time high, and unlike previous years there is very little hope that any of those lost funds will be restored. So, 50 years after the state and federal governments began to ask community
agencies to care for their most vulnerable citizens we have come to the realization that if we are to continue with that mission we must seek innovative ways to do so. Legislation on the federal level, including the Affordable Care Act and the Excellence in Mental Health Act will actually lead to new opportunities. In addition to funding and legislative changes, constant improvements in technology and medical knowledge will shape what is an unprecedented change in the way that community
behavioral health centers do business. So, instead of continuing to lament our current situation, we are looking strategically to a future. The Affordable Care Act and Medicaid expansion in Illinois means that many more have insurance coverage and can seek treatment. The Excellence Act has created the Comprehensive Community Behavioral Health Clinic, a revolutionary model that may take a couple years to come to Sinnissippi Centers, but will allow for a new funding model, expansion of services and the ability to improve revenue for our community partners as well.
We continue to work more collaboratively with our primary medical care providers. Community behavioral health centers are the experts in behavioral change, and with the increased pressure on hospitals to reduce readmissions and expensive services, we hold the key to success for both patients and providers. Improvements in technology have led to many new opportunities. New electronic medical records allow for better data reporting, and allow clients to access their own records through a patient portal. Patients will soon be able to input their own information
into the record through use of tablets. In the near future, many in need of therapy services might choose to do so from their own couch, or maybe their primary care doctor’s office via video conference. Web-based treatment options, and even apps for smart phones are increasing in their utility in the treatment process. New developments in medicine are also having a significant impact. For example, Sinnissippi Centers will soon begin using genetic testing to determine which medications are most beneficial, and which might lead to side effects. A solution for the lack
of available psychiatrists has developed in the form of mid- level providers, physician assistants and nurse practitioners. In summary, we are looking forward to a day in the very near future where clients can access services from nearly anywhere, experience complete coordination of care along a full continuum, where data to direct treatment is plentiful, medical decision-making is well-informed and funding is sustainable. That gives us plenty of hope to brave the current challenges.

AFC defensive plan shuts down Lady Cardinals By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com AFC coach Chris Jahn had the perfect defense against the Forreston Lady Cardinals in a 50-26 win. “We focused on perimeter shooting,” Jahn said. “They had nine 3s the game before.” So perfect was the game plan, that Forreston failed to score a single basket other than within three feet of the hoop. “Credit to AFC of coach Jahn for scouting and knowing what to do,” Forreston assistant coach Butch Rosecke said. “They knew our shooters and closed out hard on them.” Rosecke was forced to direct the team from the second quarter on after head coach Tim Bukoski was ejected for two technical fouls committed within seconds of each other. After Forreston was whistled for a foul on Madeline Prestegaard, Bukoski vehemently voiced his disapproval. It didn’t take but a few seconds for the first technical to be called and the second came just as fast. A 10-6 AFC lead soon ballooned to 15-6 at the 4:30 mark of the second quarter. Prestegaard made one of two free throws off the personal foul, Lexie Meurer made two
of four technical tosses and upon retaining possession, Prestegaard scored a basket. “I knew it was going to be a momentum swing,” Jahn said. “I told our girls to refocus.” Up until that point, Forreston (11-6, 4-3) and its aggressive play was giving the Lady Raiders fits. Coming back from a 6-1 deficit, Allison Bondele had a steal and scored and then Kate Person took the ball to the rack and scored over the tall timber of AFC (17-1, 9-0). The 8-6 first-quarter deficit was as close as Forreston would come, as no offense could be generated from the perimeter. “To start the game, Forreston hung in there and played physical,” Jahn said. “Eventually, we wore them down.” That came in the form of 14 points and 14 rebounds by Madeline Prestegaard and seven points and seven assists by Meurer. Jaynee Prestegaard had eight of AFC’s first 10 points. “We came out with a solid game plan and weren’t afraid to go after them,” Rosecke said. “We were trying to get an inside-out game going, but couldn’t hit any shots outside.” Turn to B2 Forreston’s Katie Person is tangled up with three Milledgeville defenders Jan. 15 while trying to make a play on a loose ball.

Uneventful win did have some memorable moments By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com In a very uneventful 70-33 win by Polo over Forreston in boys basketball Jan. 15, the biggest cheer came with 2:59 left in the game. That was when No. 4 for Polo checked into the game. Even some Forreston were applauding. Considering the last time he set foot on a basketball court was a 2015 regional final loss to Forreston, the appearance of Brad Cavanaugh was a message of hope for Marco fans. The 4-year varsity starter got an even bigger roar by nailing a 3-point basket and quickly going back to the bench, so as not to overdo it on a sore ankle. It was a symbolic gesture by Polo coach Matt Messer and even some Forreston fans were cheering, including Robert DeVries of last year’s Cardinal team. “I stood up and smiled. There’s a family feeling with Polo and Forreston,” said the Lake Land College redshirt DeVries, wearing a walking boot for two torn ligaments and a stress fracture on his left ankle. “I know how hard this can be.” “Everyone’s been so supportive,” Cavanaugh said. “I start practicing next week and maybe can play against AFC.” Besides getting the best athlete in conference back, the Marcos also put an end to a rare 5-game losing streak. “I can’t remember the last time we’ve lost that many,” Messer said. “Maybe five years ago, if at all.” Messer has led Polo (12-7, 3-2) to three straight 20-win seasons and with 10 regular season games and potentially long post-season run, maintaining that streak is still possible. “If we continue with efforts like tonight, we can pull it off, but it’s not the most important thing to us right now,” Messer said. Senior guard Tristin Woodin jump-started Polo with three early baskets and the rout was on. Brandon Schneiderman helped Forreston (3-11, 2-4) stay close early with 11 of his
team’s first 13 points. “Schneiderman was fantastic,” Messer said. “He crashed the boards and put us in foul trouble.” “He’s a sophomore,” Forreston coach Travis Ross said. “He’s doing the best he can for us.” With Wyatt Patterson and Richie Bartnick on the bench with foul trouble, Messer was extremely pleased with the job seldom-used Noah Prerost did in the middle. “He gave us valuable minutes and is an example of the depth we have,” Messer said. Shortly after it was announced Peyton Glawe was celebrating his birthday, the 5-10 senior knocked down seven second-quarter points to help Polo take a 34-19 lead. Woodin scored the final six points of the quarter, including a pretty fall-away jumper at the buzzer. Any chance Forreston had of making the game close evaporated in the early stages Above, Forreston’s Austin Groshans puts up a shot while being guarded by Wyatt Patterson Jan. 14. Below, Polo’s of the third quarter, as Polo Brooks Grobe secures a rebound off a shot by Forreston’s Brandon Schneiderman. Photos by Chris Johnson scored the first 12 points, many off Cardinal turnovers. A decisive 31-14 rebounding advantages by Polo after three quarters also was a factor in a second 30-point plus win over the Cardinals this year. “It’s been a struggle for us,” Ross said. “We play in spurts and lack consistent effort as a team for all four quarters.” With a 17-man roster, Polo moved many players in and out if the game and one of those reserves, Mason Wright, had the hot hand in the fourth quarter with eight points in less than two minutes. “Everyone on this team contributes, even giving us energy by cheering from the bench,” Messer said. “Credit to all the kids for being mentally tough. It was a total team effort getting this win.” Woodin led the Marcos with 17 points, followed by Glawe with 11 and Brody Grobe with nine. For Forreston, Schneiderman had 11 and Austin Groshans six, Brittan DeVries five and Logan Rogers four points. “At this point, all we can do is keep plugging away and try to get back to the type of basketball that is played at Forreston,” Ross said.

Scoring chances limited From A1 Sophomore Sierra Reining broke a 10-minute scoring drought over the first and second quarters for Forreston with score with 45 seconds left before halftime. Another sophomore, Danielle
Hagemann, followed that up with two free throws to cut the lead to 22-10. No one from Forreston scored more than five points, but Forreston fans had to be encouraged by the strong effort on defense by the Lady Cardinals against a state-
ranked opponent. This Friday, Forreston hosts Polo and as the evening is special one for a teacher at the school. There will be a soup and salad fundraiser for Spanish teacher Nona Forestor, who’s husband has cancer.

Jasmine Tillman, Baileyville, helped propel the women’s soccer team at Blackburn College, Carlinville, into some hard earned victories for the 2015 season. Coach Timothy Gould
spoke highly of Tillman, a freshman. “Jasmine’s freshman season was brought to a stop after the team’s sixth match,” he said. “Used primarily as a center midfielder, Jasmine helped
the team win three straight road matches before her ankle injury sidelined her for the rest of the season. “Despite the season ending with seven wins and 11 losses the entire women’s soccer team did an outstanding job.”

Sports Column Inspired by local sports
By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com
Lately, I have been inspired by the locals and envision high school sports becoming more about the essence of competition and less about the importance of winning. The last few basketball games I watched are part of the reason for my optimism. Yes, it might be a pipe dream, as these games are but a few pebbles in an ocean of high school sporting events. From coast-to-coast and all parts in between, there has become an ugliness in the need to win at all costs. Cheating, on field fighting, recruiting of players, over-emphasis on yearround training, disrespect
to officials, coaches and opponents, lack of playing time for subs, parental pressure, conference merrygo-rounds, private vs public arguments, playing while injured, excessive braggadocio and the list goes on. All of these practices are but manifestations of what creates the need to win and that is pride and ego. Of all our character defects, it seems to leads the parade in causing us to behave the most unspiritual. I’m not saying winning is a negative, but the need to is. There is a difference between the two. Getting back to the basketball games I have seen of the boys and girls from Byron, Forreston, Oregon, Polo, Stillman Valley and Winnebago this season – in nearly all cases except one particular situation - what has stood out more than winning or losing was the
competition. That’s what I want to see - two teams competing as hard as they can. That’s it. Nothing more is necessary to make my sports viewing complete. Here in Ogle County, we probably aren’t going to exert much influence on everyone else, but it makes me feel good to live in this little corner of the world where our local schools seem to get it. If all schools were honest with themselves, they would admit that their mission in regard to offering sports is not the won-loss column, but allowing students to develop and test athletic abilities, much the same way academics are administered. In news of the week…. Marty Hickman stepped down as Executive Director of the IHSA after 25 years of service. That is a thankless position, as lawmakers, media, parents, officials,
coaches, administrators, etc. constantly criticize the IHSA. To that, please help me God from being so quick to also pass judgment on them and suggest better ways for them to do their business. It’s become too easy to bash the IHSA and quite frankly, it has gotten out of hand. How about the remarkable performance by Oregon’s Ali Scheidecker in bowling? Against South Beloit, she bowled a 204, 246, 268 series for a 718. That was a school record and the type of score that places at state. We talk a lot about the boys, but the girls are also having a bang-up season and should be even better next year. Remember, their post season doesn’t begin until three weeks after the boys. The Oregon boys basketball team is in the middle of an 8-day break from action and have an
excellent chance to put together a 5-game winning streak before traveling to Winnebago on February 4. After a state appearance, Forreston has struggled in basketball. Credit to the Cardinal fans, though. No matter what the record, these people come out and support their team. It would be difficult for me to select a better fan base among our area schools than the one in Forreston. Speaking of Forreston, it’s good to see rookie radio man Josh Bolen (a 2009 Cardinal grad) behind the mic for WRHL this year. Apparently, WRHL recognized the job Josh did on the PA for the football games and is utilizing his talents for basketball. Polo will soon have its second 100-match winner this season. Jesse Ditzler, one of my pole vaulting buddies, is only two wins away from joining Ethan
Andy Colbert
Cain on this milestone. Wrestling fans may bash me for this, but this year’s sectional looks weaker than in years past. Am I off base on this? For the record, though, the Polo regional with Byron, Dakota, Le-Win and Oregon is the absolute toughest around.

Astrograph Look at the possibilities Thursday January 21, 2016
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t make waves, start fights or disrupt a situation that can have an impact on your future. Look for alternatives instead of walking away from a problem.
-- Speak up and be willing to stand behind your ideas. Having a well-thought-out plan and the wherewithal to make it a reality will boost your confidence and your popularity.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Not everyone will like your plans. Your presentations must be persuasive if you want to gain the approval you need to forge ahead.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Strive for personal perfection. You can make improvements that will be admired by others and that can contribute to a better lifestyle. Make every move count, and avoid senseless disagreements and disappointments.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be ready to leap into action if something unexpected develops. It’s your ability to act quickly that will guide you to success. Talking will lead to conflict. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Talk with people who see things your way. Your ability to relay a workable solution will put you in a key position. A little muscle behind your plan is all that’s required. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Deal with any controversy you face or problems that are affecting your home and relationships. If you fail to take action, someone else will put you in a precarious position. CANCER (June 21-July 22)
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Look at the possibilities, and think about one of your bigger ideas until you have flushed out all the flaws. Be creative, but don’t lose sight of reality. Balance will be required.
at home and at work. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Emotional matters will escalate if you try to hide from problems. You are best off facing whatever dilemma comes your way head-on, so that you can move forward with a clean slate. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Step into the spotlight and share your ideas. You will face opposition, but once you weed out who isn’t on board, you can regroup and aim for success.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -You need time to reflect and work quietly behind the scenes until you are fully ready to take on the task of getting others to support your plans. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Your contributions will not go unnoticed. Your ability to see what’s required to make something work will help you bring about positive change both
