Former school board member questions district By Vinde Wells Editor A former Forrestville Valley School Board member took the current board to task Jan. 15 for some of its recent decisions. “I’ve been a little dissatisfied with the board and some of the things they’ve done,� said Randy Schneiderman, German Valley, who served on the school board from 1987 to 2003.

He urged the board not to base all of its decisions on the district’s financial situation. “You can have all the money in the world but if you don’t have a good education, you don’t have anything,� he said. Schneiderman said he does not approve of the board’s utilization of committees to discuss issues and make recommendations to the board. He said he would prefer to

see the whole board discuss matters and then make its decision. The size of some elementary classes was one of his concerns. Some of the classes are too big, he said, because enrollment was incorrectly projected due to an unexpected number of new families moving into the district. When he served on the board, Schneiderman said, the maximum number

of students was 18 in kindergarten and lower elementary classes. Moving German Valley Grade School’s grades 3-5 to Forreston this year, coupled with more than anticipated new students, created larger than normal classes. The third grade sections began the year with 27 students each, fourth grade had 28 students in one section and 29 in the other. Fifth grade is the largest with 32 in one section and 33 in

the other. German Valley still has kindergarten, first and second grade classes. In addition, the Little Cardinals Preschool Program was moved from Forreston to German Valley this year. Schneiderman also questioned the board’s decision last fall to patch the roof at the German Valley Grade School rather than replacing it as originally planned. The cost of a new roof

was estimated at $150,000 to $200,000, which was slated to come from Health & Life Safety funds. Due to limited finances and a projected deficit, the board opted to repair the roof while they determine if the German Valley building will remain open. The last concern Schneiderman voiced was the board’s decision last month to lease rather than buy buses. Turn to A2

Winter is half over, salt supplies are still holding By Chris Johnson Reporter

So far salt supplies have been holding out for the county. “We are okay with our chip supply but our salt supplier is having a hard time getting all the salt to us,� said Cook. “We are expecting a delivery of salt this week from an order placed Dec. 20.� The highway department has salt orders throughout the winter because the salt needs to be stored inside a building. “We place numerous orders and we have 1,500 tons ordered that have not been delivered,� said Cook. Fortunately for the county, their storage capacity was increased after a winter 2009 shortage. “The county board allowed us to build a second storage building for salt,� said Cook. “Without is we would have been out of salt two weeks ago. Fortunately we have had enough salt so far.� With two ice storms this season, Cook said another ice storm would drastically impact the remaining salt supplies in the county. Already some municipalities including Oregon have reduced the amount of salt being spread on their streets. Oregon street superintendent Michael Bowers informed residents last week that street salting was being limited to intersections, curves, and hills. At that time Oregon had used 75 percent of its salt supply for the winter. In Forreston, Alan Cruthis

the superintendent of public works said their salt supply is doing alright. Winter is officially half “We are doing okay but we over, but for snow plow have used more than typical,� drivers there has been no end he said. “We have gone in sight. though 100 tons.� At the Ogle County He said the village usually Highway Department, which only needs 50 tons of salt at maintains 270 miles of county this point in the season. roads, the employees have “It has been quite a winter,� only had one day off since Cruthis said. “It took 8 hours Dec. 8. to clear the drifting from “Our guys have been out the half inch we received daily dealing with the snow Monday. and ice,� said Ogle County As of Monday morning Engineer Curtis Cook. “While Cook said the county has we may not be getting much ordered about 60 percent of its snow with each storm, the annual salt supply. wind has been blowing and “Despite it seeming like a drifting.

“Bus leasing does not work,� he said. “I just want to warn you about that.� The district has leased buses from Midwest Transit, Kankakee, for the last few years. The board approved renewing the two-year lease Dec. 18 for six 2015 buses at a cost of $141,740. Interim Superintendent Jane Eichman told the board in December that several factors in recent years have made leasing buses more desirable that owning them. The state no longer reimburses districts for the cost of buses as it once

did, she said, and state transportation reimbursement has decreased 43 percent in recent years. The cost of a new, comparable bus is approximately $95,000. Also, the maintenance of the buses with their emissions-control devices has proven costly and timeconsuming. Those maintenance costs are covered under the lease. At the beginning of the meeting, board president Robert Ebbesmeyer told the audience of 25 to 30 people that the status of the German Valley building was discussed at an earlier Curriculum Committee meeting, but no

recommendation would be made to the board on its use. “There was no decision to close it, nor will there be tonight,� he said.

Colson asks to suspend bid process on sheriff’s building By Vinde Wells Editor Concerns over tourism prompted a county board member to ask Tuesday that plans for a new sheriff’s administration building are put on hold. Ron Colson, Mt. Morris, filed a request with county board chairman Kim Gouker, Byron, at the county meeting asking to be placed on the February agenda. His written request said he wants to introduce a motion to suspend the bid process on the sheriff’s new headquarters at 103 Jefferson St., Oregon. The county board approved

seeking bids for the new building at its December meeting. Gouker agreed to refer Colson’s request to the Executive Committee which sets up the board agenda each month. Colson’s request said he wants the building project sent back to the county’s Long Range & Strategic Planning Committee for further study. He asked for an analysis of the market value of the property where the sheriff’s office now sits and the new one would be built because he said its part of the City of Oregon’s Comprehensive Plan for a Riverfront District.

Colson said the property is a key part of planned development to promote tourism in the city, which would also financially benefit the county. Gouker said that Oregon Mayor Tom Stone has voiced no objections to building the new sheriff’s administration building on the site. Colson’s request asked alternative sites be considered for the new building. He also asked that the Long Range & Strategic Planning Committee determine if architectural changes should be made in the proposed building plan to allow for future growth needs of the sheriff’s department, coroner,

911 director, and Ogle County Emergency Management Agency director, all of which will be housed in the new building. Colson voiced displeasure with the process followed in planning the building, which he said has not been transparent. Before the judicial center project was approved, he said, meetings were held in four places in the county to make residents aware of the plans and allow them to ask questions. Similar meetings have not been held for the sheriff’s building, he said. Gouker, who headed up the committee in charge of building the judicial center,

said the process for new sheriff’s office has been equally transparent. Colson disagreed. “That [the judicial center] was an Ogle County transparent process,� he said. “This has been a Cook County covert operation.� The judicial center, which cost approximately $15 million, was completed in 2005. The sheriff’s administration building has been estimated at $4.1 million. The money for the administration building will come from the Long Range Planning Fund, as did the judicial center and the $7.5 million

courthouse remodeling project completed in 2010. Revenues in that fund come from the host fees paid by garbage collection firms to dump refuse in the landfills within the county. The fees amount to approximately $3 million per year.

“Escanaba in Love,� Jeff Daniels’ 11th play, brings a touching, romantic comedy element to the rugged hunterhumor of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula’s favorite yooper family. As deer hunting season arrives, the Soady men meet their biggest challenge. Not a great buck or a hunter’s dream, but the camp’s first female visitor, young Albert Soady, Jr.’s impromptu bride Big Betty Balou. Daniels’ humor kicks into high gear when the Soady men make their best attempts to grapple with their newest family member. “Escanaba in Love� was written by Daniels as a prequel to “Escanaba in da Moonlight.� “BCT is committed and excited to bring Jeff Daniels’ work to Byron,� said director

The organizers of an upcoming event to support a local not-for-profit agency are delighted by the responses they are receiving regarding the upcoming What’s Cookin’ event. This event which will be taking place at Oak Lane on Saturday, March 29 starting at 5 p.m. is not new by any means as it is somewhat a spin-off of the “30 Men Who Cook� events that have been held in areas such as Rochelle and Rockford. “But what is unique about this event is that the organizers believe it is the first of its kind around the Oregon area,� said organizer Diane Palmer.

“And the focus of this event is to bring all Ogle County communities together to have fun and help others.� Oak Lane is a facility that caters to weddings, receptions, banquets and parties in a barn setting is located three miles southeast of Oregon on Daysville Road. The What’s Cookin’ 2014 event is for teams consisting of four people preparing a food item in one of the following categories: appetizer, entre, side dish or dessert. The public is invited to attend and for a designated amount of time can walk around taste-testing the teams’ food items. The public will be the judges. Participants will be given a program or ballot and can choose which team had the best recipes. Awards will be presented to the teams at the end of the taste-testing portion of the event. A maximum of 35 teams are needed for the event, and Palmer said a number of local businesses have already shown interest in bringing their cooking skills to the event. Spaces are still available, and registration is a must. Admission is $20 per person for the public to attend. Palmer and co-organizer Joyce Bruns hope to make this

as an annual Ogle Countyfocused event. The goal is to be able to support a not-for-profit agency, group or organization each year. “It is important that the Ogle County communities come together to support efforts for not-for-profit groups as these are the agencies that help and serve others in the community and need the financial assistance to do that service. As a county-wide event a little interest from each community means a lot,� Palmer said. The proceeds of What’s Cookin’ 2014 will go to the Rock River Center, Oregon. This facility provides resources, activities and services that improve the quality of life for Ogle County’s older adults, the disadvantaged, caregivers, and the greater community. If you are interested in participating in this event as a 4-person cooking team, a sponsor or a volunteer, the event organizers would love to talk to you. You can go to the event website: http:// whatscookin.homestead. com and by clicking on the “CONTACT US� buttons you can send a message directly to the organizers or you can call 815-973-1432 for more information. We look forward to having you join us on March 29. Having fun...Helping others!

Predator program set The University of Illinois Extension will present a program on Large Predators Return...Or Are They? on Wednesday, Feb. 5 from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Ogle County Extension office located at 421 W. Pines Rd. in Oregon. University of Illinois Extension Educator, Peggy Doty, will offer this program that focuses on the behaviors of cougars, wolves, and black bears and why they may be visiting us again. These animals have all been spotted in Illinois over the past few years. It is important

for people to understand why we are hearing about these mammals in the news more often. Animals do not think the way humans do and yet we continue to be anthropomorphic, giving them human traits and reasons for their actions. Animals do not know they have a tendency to scare us, especially if they are large and higher on the food chain. Due to the sporadic The fee for this program is $5.

Sheriff: The bills were corrected, not altered By Matt Mencarini Sauk Valley Media Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn says his personal charges on his county-issued credit card were deleted from invoices because he never intended for the county to pay for them. His comments echoed those made earlier by County Board Chairman Kim Gouker, who had said he

saw nothing fraudulent about alterations made to the credit card bills. Copies of the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department’s credit card bills were obtained by Sauk Valley Media through a Freedom of Information Act request. On Dec. 28, Sauk Valley Media reported that since 2011, at least three bills had been altered to change the month’s balance or to remove charges.

The charges were personal purchases that had been paid directly to the credit card company. “I corrected my statements before I ever turned them in to the clerk’s office,� Harn said Tuesday, adding that he didn’t think he was covering up anything “because those things were paid for previously.� At the time, Ogle County didn’t have a countywide

credit card policy. Each department with a credit card set its own policy. The county has since established a countywide policy. In December, Gouker said he was aware of the changes to the bills, but didn’t think it was fraudulent or done to cover up anything, because the county was never going to pay for those charges. Harn was aware of personal purchases being made on

the county cards, but wasn’t aware of all of them, he said, adding that it was a policy in place before he was elected in 2010. The practice was stopped, Harn said, after personal purchases by former Dixon City Engineer Shawn Ortgiesen came to light. Ortgiesen charged $13,521 on Dixon credit cards between April 2007 and May 2013, but didn’t pay the credit

card company directly and didn’t pay back the charges in full until he resigned In April 2013. The personal purchases in Ogle County didn’t happen very often, Harn said, and were paid directly to the credit card company before the county paid the balance of the bill. The changes to the bill were made to show the amount the county was paying, he said.

Money in budget is left on the table the past 2 years By Matt Mencarini and David Giuliani Sauk Valley Media Government agencies often spend every cent they get. Sometimes they don’t. In the past 2 years, Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn has left unspent more than $1 million from his annual budgets. According to the county treasurer’s numbers, Harn didn’t spend $766,000 in his budget last fiscal year and $572,000 the previous year. His budget includes law enforcement, corrections, and building and grounds for all county property. In the 2013 budget, Harn’s unspent money included $350,000 for repairs and maintenance of buildings, including redoing the heating and cooling system for a county building, Treasurer John Coffman said. The sheriff handles the county’s buildings and grounds. “Projects were planned,� Coffman said, “and for whatever reason didn’t happen.� While the county’s budgeting process won’t begin for about 6 months, Ogle County Chairman Kim

Gouker said, there might be a review to determine whether the Sheriff’s Department or others are being overbudgeted. “There’s no point in budgeting funds, if they’re not necessary,� he said. Harn did not respond to requests for comment. Gouker said Harn had saved money for the county by working to get favorable contracts for natural gas and electricity for county buildings. The sheriff is also saving money by having patrol cars fill up at the gas pumps the county owns, he said, and has increased revenue the county receives from federal inmates who are housed by the U.S. Marshals Service at the Ogle County Jail. Harn proposed the idea for the county to install an underground tank for gas, which all county departments can use for county vehicles. Last fiscal year, the County Board allocated $6.7 million for Harn’s departments, and he spent $5.8 million of that. The previous year, $6.4 million was budgeted, with $5.8 million spent. “Some departments seem to spend everything; others

spend what they need and turn money back,� Treasurer Coffman said. “[The $766,000] is a good chunk of money.� With money left unspent, that theoretically means a lower tax levy the next year, he said. In this situation, he said, the county didn’t see much of a change. “The budget is both an estimate of revenues and expenses,� Coffman said. “A lot of departments are involved in [the general] fund.� Putting the budget together is a “give and take,� said Gouker, who also serves as the board’s Finance Committee chairman. Gouker said he wants to have as small a budget as possible, while still providing the services necessary to county residents. The fact that Harn has kept his department under its budget, Gouker said, is significant. “I’ve always said that this sheriff spends the tax dollars like his own money, and I mean that as a compliment,� Gouker said. “He tries to get the most bang out of the buck for the taxpayer.�

Survey that was sent to local businesses and other establishments in Ogle County. This number is a result of the efforts of many individuals doing their part to reduce waste and recycle as much as possible at home, work and school. Although residents should be pleased with that percentage, the OCSWMD urges residents to strive to find new ways to increase what gets recycled and reduce the amount of waste going to local landfills. Since the beginning

of this grant program in 2000, the OCSWMD has provided grants totaling over $96,300 towards equipment, educational materials and other items that have helped local businesses and nonprofits save money and reduce waste. During that same period, the county recycling rate increased from 21 to 40 percent. The application for the grants is simple and flexible. Businesses could use grant funds to help purchase waste reduction and recycling materials and equipment

Women’s club bakes cookies Byron Women’s Club members assisted Byron Special Education teachers recently in the third year of Grandma for a Day cookie baking with the Byron students. Teachers and aides, students, mothers, and BWC members work with the students in the fine art of mixing, rolling, cutting, baking and then decorating a variety of shapes for the finished Christmas cookies. Members also donated cookies to be decorated so there will be an

ample number of cookies for the students’ Cookie Walk. The event was started when Life Skills teachers were planning a holiday activity for the students, and Char Greil, BWC member and substitute teacher, suggested that a cookie baking and decorating morning would be unique and something the students would enjoy. The first year’s cookie bake was held at Saint Mary’s Church. Greil reported on the success of the event and BWC board suggested that the cookie decorating be

an annual event. The second year’s session was held at the United Church of Byron because of the convenient arrangement of the kitchen and dining room. The church locales give the students an opportunity to be in a different location than the usual classroom. An added advantage for all participants is the chance to interact, learn from each other, and have a fun and festive beginning to the Christmas holidays.

County offering waste reduction/recycling grants The Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department (OCSWMD) is announcing that limited funds are again available for Waste Reduction/Recycling Grants for the 2014 fiscal year. The grants of up to $2,000 are available to Ogle County businesses, schools, churches and non-profit organizations wishing to establish or improve on waste reduction and recycling programs and services. Applicants must provide a 20 percent match of the total project cost. Since total grant funds available are limited to $8,000 this fiscal year (beginning Dec. 1, 2013), grants will be awarded on a competitive basis in amounts from $100 - $2000, in four rounds until funds are depleted. The deadline for the first round of grants is Friday, Feb. 7. In 2012, Ogle County residents, businesses and other entities recycled approximately 40 percent of the municipal waste generated in the County. This is based on the results from the 2012 Recycling

such as collection bins, carts, balers and storage containers. Equipment needed to switch from disposable packaging to reusable packaging for products and supplies could also be considered. Schools may seek funds for special projects that will further a student’s understanding of how to reduce the amount of trash sent to the landfill. The requests may be for materials and equipment, such as recycling bins/carts, videos, books, worm bins, composters or a dishwasher

so disposable plastic ware and Styrofoam trays can be replaced with reusable silverware, plates and trays. Municipalities seeking to improve curbside or multifamily recycling are encouraged to apply. Grant applications for equipment and materials needed to improve electronics recycling options in Ogle County are also encouraged since most electronics have been banned from landfills as of January 1, 2012.

The grants may not be used to pay for ongoing expenses such as staffing, collection and hauling costs. Priority will be given to new applicants. Applications may be submitted by Feb. 7, April 4, July 4, and Oct. 3, as long as grant funds are available. For more information or to request an application, call the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department at 815-732-4020, or visit www. oglecounty.org.

Resident thanks postal carriers

BLOOMBERG AUCTION 309-644-1854 * www.auctionzip.com

Who’s got your back– and your back pocket?

Dear Editor, A big thanks to our local U.S. Postal Service letter carriers who have not missed a single day due to weather. Despite dangerously cold

temperatures they continued to walk the route, delivering mail and packages – and, they don’t jump into warm trucks after every stop, like other delivery services. Our letter carriers truly personify the motto, “Neither rain, nor sleet, nor dark of night, (nor polar vortex!) shall keep us from our appointed rounds.� Residents can show appreciation by keeping sidewalks shoveled and salted so they can get to mailboxes easily. Thank you, local U.S.P.S. workers. Sandra Stengel Mt. Morris

Congratulations to Coach Engle Dear Editor, The purpose of this letter is to congratulate Doug Engle on his induction into the Illinois Track and Cross Country Coaches Association (ITCCCA) Hall of Fame. Since 1977, the coaches association has voted 5 to 7 coaches state wide into their Hall of Fame. The unusual fact about his induction is that Doug served

as an assistant his entire career. Most of the inductees were head coaches. Doug’s amazing record in the weight events warranted his induction into the ITCCCA Hall of Fame (16 All State Athletes, 32 individual qualifiers, 64 total state qualifiers). Doug becomes the third Oregon cross country/track and field coach to be inducted into the ITCCCA Hall of Fame. I was inducted in 1998, followed by Art Carlson in 1999. This is a major accomplishment for Oregon High School. Only 16 schools in the State of Illinois have three or more Hall of Famers. One school - Oak ParkRiver Forest has six inductees. One school - Palatine has five inductees. Seven schools - Bloom, Conant, Glenbard South, Lyons, Maine South, Naperville, York - have four inductees. Oregon High School joins East St. Louis, Lincoln, Evanston, Glenbard West, Sandburg, Schaumburg, and Thornton with three inductees. Twenty-three schools have

two inductees. One hundred fourteen have one inductee. Also, Oregon is the only Class A school in the state with three coaches in the ITCCCA Hall of Fame. Special recognition should go out to all the Hawk track and field athletes that were on the squads during our coaching tenures. Also, a special thank you to the Oregon voters that gave Oregon High School an all weather track in 1975. A final congrats to Doug and fellow coach - Irv Sanderson of Prophetstown/ Erie - for their 2014 induction into the ITCCCA Hall of Fame. It was a well-deserved honor for both. Sincerely, Joe Mortimer Orland Park OHS Cross Country and Track Coach (1968-1972) P.S. Special recognition should go to Darren Moser (five time state medalist for the Oregon Hawks) for his tireless five year campaign to get Coach Engle into the ITCCCA Hall of Fame. Doug becomes only the fourth assistant-coach to be elected into the Hall of Fame out of the 215 inductees.

Ogle County Newspapers, Thursday, January 23, 2014, Page A11

Finding time to exercise can prove difficult Finding time to exercise is no small feat for many men and women. Obligations at home and at the office can make it hard to fit in a workout, a familiar quandary for men and women with multiple commitments. Though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always easy to fit in a workout when juggling multiple responsibilities, men and women must consider the responsibility they have with regard to maintaining their physical and mental health. The United States Department of Health and Human Services advises that healthy adults get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic

activity, and that such activity should be spread out over the course of the week. In addition, the DHHS also advises that healthy adults include strength training exercises in their workout regimens at least twice a week. Such a workout schedule can improve both physical and mental health, making it easier for men and women to handle their hectic schedules. While such recommendations may seem manageable, many men and women still feel as if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not enough time in the day for them to incorporate a daily exercise regimen. The following are a few ways such men and women can

find time for fitness. * Take a walking lunch. Many professionals have heard of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;working lunch,â&#x20AC;? but those strapped for time to exercise might want to take a walking lunch instead. Rather than sitting at your desk or in your favorite booth at a nearby restaurant on your lunch hour each day, consider squeezing in some time to walk during those 30-60 minutes you normally spend eating or catching up on office gossip with coworkers. Invite a few coworkers along, walking to and from your favorite restaurant or finding a nearby park and going for a quick walk. This is an easy way to squeeze in the recommended 30 minutes of moderate aerobic activity each day, and you will no doubt feel more energized after lunch than if you had simply eaten without exercising. * Exercise in the morning. Research has shown that men and women who exercise in the mornings exercise on a more consistent basis than those who exercise later in the day, including after leaving the office at the end of the workday. When exercising in the Finding the time to workout will help improve the mental early morning hours, men and physical health of both men and women. and women are less likely

to encounter scheduling conflicts, as coworkers, colleagues and even the kids will likely still be asleep. That means fewer interrupted or missed workouts. * Prepare meals ahead of time. If working out in the morning simply wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out for you, then consider planning meals in advance so you can free up time between the office and dinner each night. For example, slow cookers and crockpots make it possible to start making dinner in the early morning and require little or no effort once you arrive home in the evening. Plan to cook a few meals each week in a slow cooker, which will free up time for you to workout when you would otherwise be preparing dinner. * Work while you workout. Smartphones and tablets have made it easier than ever to get work done while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re away from work. This includes getting some work done while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting in your weekly recommended aerobic activity on the treadmill, elliptical machine or exercise bike. Thanks to smartphones

Woman are invited to join Curves The staff at Curves of Byron and Oregon recently announced they are now offering Curves Workouts with Jillian Michaels, cuttingedge total body workouts that feature the Curves Circuit strength training machines in conjunction with functional bodyweight-based exercises that ramp up metabolism and transform physique. Jillian Michaels is best known as Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and wellness expert. The workouts boost intensity, build strength, burn fat, and prevent plateaus. The new Curves Workouts with Jillian Michaels are designed for women at every fitness level and include simple modifications for each movement. Metabolic conditioning exercises will be done in between each strength machine within the Curves

Circuit, all within a 30-minute class. The Curves Workouts with Jillian Michaels will be showcased on a large screen TV, set to upbeat music, within each Club and a Curves Coach who has been trained to deliver the moves will be present in every Circuit to ensure safety and effectiveness. Class times for the Curves Workouts with Jillian Michaels will vary by location and the workouts will be refreshed frequently with new functional moves introduced each month throughout 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so thrilled to be partnered with Curves to provide women with the tools necessary to take control of their health,â&#x20AC;? said Michaels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Curves is everywhere â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so now my program is accessible, effective and affordable. The

workouts Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve developed with Curves incorporate the most innovative, state-ofthe-art fitness techniques to build lean muscle, amp up metabolism and kick start weight loss. Combined with the power of the Curves Circuit with a trained Coach, women will get the results they want.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited to offer our members these new cutting-edge workouts. By amplifying our Curves Circuit with Jillianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innovative workouts, along with a trained coach for everyone, we are very confident our members will get off to a healthy start in 2014,â&#x20AC;? said, Jamie Buck, Curves of Byron owner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We invite women in Ogle County to come by for a free consultation and to learn more about this innovative program to kick start weight loss.â&#x20AC;?

Curves Workouts with Jillian Michaels are available at participating Curves Clubs. Also available at participating Curves Clubs is Curves Complete. With Curves Complete, women have a fully integrated, personalized weight loss and weight management solution that includes the Curves Fitness program (30 minute Circuit with a Coach), a customizable meal plan and one-on-one coaching and support. Contact a staff member at Curves of Byron at 815234-818 or byroncurves@ frontier.com or visit the club at 126 W. Second St, Byron; or Curves of Oregon at 815732-3004 or visit the club at 600 Gale St, Oregon. For more information about Curves, visit www. curves.com.

Finding the time to workout will help improve the mental and physical health of both men and women. Sometimes having a partner can encourage exercise.

and tablets, you can now read and answer emails and work on some projects while you sweat away those extra pounds. * Get off the couch. Many men and women prefer to unwind on the couch as they catch up on their favorite television shows and movies. But such unwinding should not come at the expense of working out. Much like catching up on work at the gym, you also can catch up on your favorite shows and movies while at the gym. Many smartphones and

tablets now have apps that allow users to access subscription streaming services, so users who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find time to exercise should take advantage of such apps and watch their favorite shows and movies from the treadmill instead of the couch. Readers who can comfortably read while exercising can follow a similar route and read on the elliptical instead of sitting sedentary in a chair as they make their way through the latest bestseller.

Milledgeville (5-13, 2-3 NUIC East) responded with back-to-back layups by Taylor Grenoble, as she beat everyone down the floor for both. However, the Marcos took the lead at 9-8 into the second quarter. “We have been having trouble with enthusiasm,” Polo coach Jeff Grobe said. “I thought we came out with a lot of enthusiasm tonight.

Max Simmons got Polo going on the third-quarter run with a pair of baskets down low, increasing the lead to 3916. Kaleb Reining hit a single free throw for Forreston and then it was Polo pouring it on the rest of the quarter. Markus Edler popped in a couple 3-pointers early in the fourth quarter to break the scoring drought for Forreston. Polo had a 61-26 lead on a Sawyer Frano 3-pointer

before the Cardinals scored the final nine points of the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were ready for a rivalry game against a wellcoached team,â&#x20AC;? Messer said. Polo (5-1) remains a game behind Aquin (5-0) in conference standings. Milledgeville is close behind at 4-1. The Marcos travel to Milledgeville on Saturday and host Aquin the following Tuesday with a chance to take control of the NUIC East.

Forreston drops to 2-3 in conference play and hopes to have Robert DeVries back soon. The leading scorer for the Cardinals has been out 14 games with a fractured fibula. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count Forreston out. They are going to be so much better when they get him back,â&#x20AC;? Messer said. Dollmeyer had 15 points and Brian Cavanaugh had 13 to pace the Marcos. Elder had 11 for Forreston and Kerchner and Andrew Beasley added six points.

Sports Column Former Oregon player in the news due to a coaches recruiting method By Andy Colbert Reporter A former Oregon girls basketball player was prominently displayed in the news recently, but the news was more off the court than on it. In a lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court against Homewood-Flossmoor coach Tony Smith on behalf of an unnamed basketball player on the team, it is alleged that Smith improperly brought in transfer recruits, including Lexi Smith, who played for Oregon two years ago.

The suit, which was brought by a parent, states that the transfers came in and took starting positions from the incumbents and demoralized the players, parents and the community. Those filing the suit want Smith suspended and the transfers, four from Bolingbrook and two from other schools, declared ineligible until the matter is resolved. This is coach Smith and Lexi Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (no relation) first year at HomewoodFlossmoor after being at Bolingbrook the previous year, where Smith had a 326-36 record and four state titles. This lawsuit does not bring to light any injustices, but showcases what is wrong with high school sports. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start with Lexi

Smith. She was at Oregon at sophomore and then moved on to Bolingbrook, a perennial basketball power under Tony Smith. Then to follow Smith to H-F, along with three other girls indicates to me that basketball is the sole factor in choosing a high school. Rather one-sided isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it to let basketball rule oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enrollment in a school. Tony Smith, who by all accounts is a tremendous coach, must have a higher calling as a pied piper, though. For four players from your previous school to magically appear at your new school tells me that it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t by mere coincidence. Where do the returning H-F players fit into the scenario? On the bench and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a place that can be disconcerting to mommy and

daddy. Just because your child isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receiving playing time, is the courtroom a place to vent your anger? Sure, you may be unhappy that your kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting position for taken by an outsider, but this is the real world. If as a parent we feel the need to solve a perceived problem for our child, that child will be deprived of a far greater good from having grown from it. There is considerably more to be gained by adversity than having something fixed in a legalistic manner. But, to try to get a parent to see that can be impossible at times. There is really no protagonist in this drama, as all parties appear to symptomatic of a disease that has spread throughout high school sports.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an ugly story and one that is being played over and over again at any school, U.S.A. So often, private schools take the brunt of the recruiting accusations. This time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a public school. What Smith has done at H-F is nothing more than assemble an all-star team. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ranked No. 1 in 4A and get their best competition from tournaments in Arizona, Tennessee and Ohio. A team like this denigrates the IHSA state tournament. No longer are schools like Homewood-Flossmoor a direct by-product of the communities they serve. The charm and character of the state tourney was that we could root for teams from towns, villages and cities that were representative of the kids that grew up there. It was

Andy Colbert

an event about community as much as anything. Now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become about who can amass the biggest war chest. This has been going on in boys basketball for quite some time and attendance at the state tourney has plummeted.

The Byron Forest Preserveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Keller Education Center.

Keller Education Center receives energy award The Byron Forest Preserve Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Keller Education Center has received Platinum Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) in Washington, D.C. The certification, announced in December by the USGBC, recognizes the Byron Forest Preserve Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong commitment to the environment and its leadership in sustainability from start to finish in construction of the Keller Education Center building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are pleased and proud to be recognized for the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term commitment to energy sustainability and the environment and are thrilled to receive a Platinum Award for this project,â&#x20AC;? said Todd Tucker, Executive Director for the Byron Forest Preserve District. An internationallyrecognized green building program, LEED provides building owners and operators with a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions. The Keller Education Center houses the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preschool education classes, summer childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education programs and can be used as a teaching tool regarding green building technology. The Platinum Award is the highest possible rating given by the USGBC and recognizes the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many energy-efficient and

green-design features. Some of these include: the use of renewable energy solar panels and a wind turbine; geothermal ground source heat pump; recycled rubber floor tiles, glass and concrete countertops, and plastic restroom partitions; use of natural light and interior lighting control systems; use of Forest Stewardship Council-certified sustainable wood products; improved indoor air quality through the use of low volatile organic compound (VOC) paints; reflective metal roofing; low flow water closets and faucets; and preferred parking for low-emitting and fuel efficient vehicles. The Keller Education Center is one of 46 Platinum LEED-certified commercial building projects that are publicly identified in Illinois and one of only three Platinum LEED-certified education buildings in Illinois. The building is also the first Platinum LEED- certified building in Ogle County. In honor of the distinction, Tucker said the district will be receiving a plaque from the USGBC for display at the Keller Education Center. The district and its Green LEED team have been working for several years to meet and in many cases exceed, standards required for LEED certification. Team members include Joy Bliton, LEED Accredited Professional; Dave Kafer, Principle Architect; Rockford Structures; and the Byron Forest Preserve District Board of Commissioners and staff.

W. Walter Spangler William Walter “Walt” Spangler, 92, Oregon, died Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2014 at Oregon Living and Rehabilitation Center. She was born April 20, 1921 to Mervin Stanley and Grace (Hill) Spangler in Daysville, where he attended school and remained a resident his entire life. He met his future wife, Julia Marie Isenhart, when her family moved next door to his. The two were married in Kahoka, Mo., on Nov. 29, 1941.

Walt retired in 1988. Walt and Julia spent their retirement years tending an orchard they had planted some years prior to his retirement. Many children’s groups were treated to teaching field trips to the Spangler Orchard and Julia always saw that they got applesauce bars as a treat.

Walt is survived by his children Melody (Ken) Welty, Oregon, Steven (Diane) Spangler, Oregon, and Phyllis (Jim) Blake, Murfreesboro, Tenn. Walt took great pride in seeing five generations of his family and spending time with his grandchildren, greatgrandchildren, and greatgreat grandchildren.
