State budget battle forces NICIL to close Service helped disabled residents By Jermaine Pigee jpigee@saukvalley.com
and lack of funding. NICIL has 250 clients, Miller said. Roughly 30 to 40 will be directly affected by the closing of the Oregon office “This is not a decision that the board of directors has come to lightly,” NICIL Board President Mary Mahan-Deatherage said in the release. “We have been monitoring this situation for more than a year. Michele and her staff have worked diligently and economically to keep services at their maximum level.” This isn’t the first time NICIL has had to make hard choices. In July, four staff members were cut from the Oregon and Sterling offices. The one remaining staff member left in Oregon will work out of the Sterling office. “It makes it really difficult to communicate with customers,” Miller said. Miller also said because of the budget impasse, her staff members are not able to travel as much, meaning it may be a month before they can visit someone. “When we had the regular office, we were there so we could see them,” Miller said. NICIL opened in 1985 and has continued without interruption to serve people with disabilities and their families in Northwestern Illinois counties of Carroll, Jo Daviess, Lee, Ogle, and Whiteside. For more information, call NICIL at 815-625-7860 or visit www.nicil.org.
The budget battle in Springfield has claimed another casualty, and the fallout will impact dozens of disabled residents in the Oregon area.

Photos by Cori Ingram “It is with great sadness that we find it necessary to close this office due to the Illinois budget impasse,” NICIL Executive Director Michele Miller said in a press release Thursday. “It is one more loss for people with disabilities due to political jockeying,” NICIL provides services for the disabled and caregiver training. “We will still be able to deliver services in the five counties that we serve, we just won’t have that location,” Miller said. “It was convenient for customers to come to that office because we could meet in private. Now, they will have to come to Sterling to meet with us, or arrange to meet in the community they live in.” NICIL’s central office in Sterling is at 412 Locust St. Like many social service agencies in Illinois, NICIL A long-time Forreston Wool Council’s Excellence selling, and promoting U.S. hired shearers to buy wool. has been swimming hard businessman was honored Award. wool,” said an article in the A typical day involved against the tide of uncertainty recently for excellence in his Also receiving the award Sheep Industry News. delivering a truckload of trade. was Charlie Chase, owner The awards were presented wool to Caron Spinning, Grant Groenewold, owner of Burlington Industries Jan. 28 at the annual Rochelle, and then picking of Groenewold Fur & Wool Wool Company, Clarksville, convention in Scottsdale, up another load for the (GFW), was recognized Virginia.

Get your pet a new do at new business in Oregon By Sarah Zuniga Correspondent Pet owners now have a new location in Oregon to meet their grooming needs. A Furry AffHair – Primp Your Pet Grooming Salon opened its door on Dec. 1, and is located at 217 Washington St. Owner Arlette Howerton, who formerly owned Primp Your Pet Grooming in Sterling, found the location in town and the Oregon area to be perfect for her business. “I love the area,” said Howerton. Howerton has been grooming for about 15 years. For the past two years, she has been the groomer at Polo Animal Hospital on Mondays through Wednesdays. “I love working with dogs, and I love what I do,” said Howerton. A Furry AffHair offers a variety of services, including
nail trimming, massage therapy, and pad therapy. Howerton also services to cats, as well as nail trimming for rabbits. The salon uses a standard size bathtub, certainly big enough for the largest breeds of dogs, as well as an easily accessible ramp for them to walk up and down. Currently, the salon is only open on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. until the last dog has left. Howerton said that hours are flexible. Drop-offs are preferred, and owners should usually allow about three hours for a grooming session. Prices vary for services, but Howerton is offering $2 off discount for referrals. To make an appointment with A Furry AffHair, call 815-677-3356. A Furry AffHair can also be found on Facebook.

Butterfly lecture is Sunday The Byron Forest Preserve will offer its first 2016 free winter lecture on Sunday, Feb. 14 at 2 p.m. at the Jarrett Prairie Center, 7993 N. River Rd., Byron. Dr. Michael Jeffords, a recently retired entomologist for the Illinois Natural
History Survey and Susan Post, Biological Control Specialist for the Illinois Natural History Survey, will present the program. They will share their knowledge for the butterflies found in area gardens and rare natural areas of the state.
Photographs of the butterflies will be on display. They will also speak about what is takes to prepare a field guide and will have copies of their book A Field Guide to Illinois Butterflies for sale.
Help count birds at home The Great Backyard Bird Count will be held from Feb. 12 – 15. This event is coordinated by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, National Audubon Society, and Bird Studies of Canada and is an online citizen scientist program. Lisa Hepker, University of Illinois Extension Youth Educator, invites all interested youth and adults to participate. During the four-day count each February, citizens from all over the world can provide scientists a snapshot of the distribution and abundance of birds. Bird populations are constantly changing and no single scientist or team of scientists could hope to track the movement around the
world. The information and data received helps scientists learn how birds are affected by environmental changes. “The Great Backyard Bird Count is a highlight of winter birding and one of her favorite programs,” said Hepker. “It’s fun, family friendly, educational and it is a great opportunity for those first timers who have never participated in a Citizen Scientist program.” Hepker has been teaching winter bird programs to youth around the county and enjoys sharing the lessons that she was trained on by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. “Citizen Scientist programs are a great way to incorporate technology into
learning and it is important for our youth to know they can be recognized as valuable contributors to a larger goal or scientific effort,” said Hepker. Register online at http:// gbbc.birdcount.org/. Individuals are asked to count birds for as little as 15 minutes, or as long as they wish, on one or more days of the count and report their sightings online. Anyone can take part in the Great Backyard Bird Count, from beginning bird watchers to experts, youth or adults, They can participate from their backyard, or anywhere in the world. For more information contact Hepker at lkhepker@ illinois.edu or at 815-7322191.
Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois (GSNI) is asking local business owners for space to operate Girl Scout Cookie booths on weekends from Feb. 26 through March 20. While some larger corporate chains allow cookie booths, many do not due to changing corporate policy. Businesses can allow Girl Scout troops inside their facility or outside their storefront to set up a cookie booth. The business could also provide tables and chairs, but that is not a necessity. Friday evenings and weekends are preferred times for most troops. However, if a business has a weekday evening event, troops would be happy to operate a cookie booth at that time.
Interested businesses should contact GSNI at cookies4you@girlscoutsni. org by Monday, March 7 to allow troops ample opportunity to schedule a site. Proceeds from the Girl Scout Cookie Program directly benefit girls in northern Illinois. Each troop receives a portion of proceeds to use as funds for troop activities. The Girl Scout Cookie Program is one of the few youth-oriented programs
in the country that provides its participants the ability to decide how to direct the proceeds generated through their business activity. GSNI covers 16 counties including parts or all of Boone, Carroll, Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Jo Daviess, Kane, Kendall, Lake, LaSalle, Lee, McHenry, Ogle, Stephenson, Whiteside, and Winnebago. To volunteer, reconnect, donate, or join, visit www. girlscoutsni.org or call 800242-5591.

All student aid forms still need to be filed on time While the current budget delay has made this a challenging time for higher education in Illinois, financial aid is available to help make college possible for Illinois students—if they apply for it. As part of Financial Aid Awareness Month, students are reminded to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)— the form that determines a student’s eligibility for most federal, state, and college financial aid programs. The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC), the state agency that works with students and families year-round to increase college access, is offering a host of free workshops and other assistance to assist students in completing the form as soon as possible. “In the 2014-15 school year, students in Illinois received more than $1.5 billion in state and federal aid for college,” said Eric Zarnikow, executive director of ISAC. “We know that the delay in funding the state’s Monetary Award Program (MAP) for the 2015-16 school year has created significant uncertainty for students and schools, but if students want to be considered for almost any form of financial aid, they should not delay in filing their FAFSAs for the upcoming school year.” The 2016-17 FAFSA became available on Jan. 1, and ISAC has been
Maple syrup talk
recommending to students that they file as soon as possible after that date. Here’s why: Because of limited funding, MAP is offered on a first come, first-served basis, and demand has exceeded funding for the last decade. To be considered for MAP, don’t delay in filing the FAFSA, which is the only application needed for MAP. Remember that you can file your FAFSA using your estimated income and update it once your 2015 tax information is available. Although this year’s MAP funding has been held up in the budget delay, don’t assume that MAP won’t be available for 2016-17. The program has consistently enjoyed bipartisan support, and while there isn’t yet a final appropriation for the current school year, the governor and legislators from both parties have expressed their interest in funding the program. You won’t be eligible if you don’t apply—and filing is free. When you file the FASFA, you’re not just applying for MAP. The FAFSA is also used to help determine your eligibility for other financial aid, including institutional aid and federal student aid such as the Pell Grant. While MAP is an important source of financial aid for low income students, even after MAP funding runs out, federal financial aid like Pell remains available by filing a FAFSA, and Pell can cover

ISAC is offering free FAFSA Completion Workshops across the state, as well as other events to help students learn more about how they can maximize their financial aid. Those attending the workshops are asked to bring records of income, investment and asset information, as well as Social Security, driver’s license and alien registration numbers, if applicable. In addition, students and families can take advantage of one-on-one mentoring provided by the ISACorps, a group of recent college graduates who act as nearpeer mentors to help high school students navigate the college going process. Personalized assistance is also available via text messaging, by signing up for ISAC College Q&A, a new free service for students to get their questions answered about college planning and financial aid, and receive important information about the FAFSA, college planning events and deadlines. Additional online resources, including tools to locate potential scholarship dollars, manage money and student loan debt, and career and job resources, are available through the new ISAC Student Portal. ISAC also offers assistance through the agency’s call center at 800-899-4722 (ISAC).

Circle M 4H Club has
been busy with activities By Emmett Peterson Circle M Club Reporter Circle M 4H Club is moving right along with their club year and meetings. At the December meeting it was announced that Karli Miller, our President and Treasurer, became a Junior Leader for our Club. Karli is a senior at Oregon High School. She is involved with the OHS Dance/Poms team. Karli is also a teacher’s assistant at Oregon Elementary and her interest post-graduation is to pursue a career in Nursing. Way to go Karli. Also in December as one of our community service projects we collected food items and made a holiday gift basket to donate to a local family. Karli Miller was our chairperson and organized
what items each member donated and she was responsible for getting the basket delivered before Christmas. Our Cloverbuds and older members made bead ornaments for our Christmas trees for our meeting activity. Angela Reigle (Cloverbud Leader) and Karli Miller, assisted with this activity. Our January meeting was great fun. We celebrated New Year’s with a party. We had decorations and noise makers along with food and drinks. While on winter break our club met at the Town & Country Bowling Alley to get our scores in for 4H’s Annual Bowling Tournament. It was a lot of fun. We are in the planning
stages of a game for the Penny Carnival in March. We have a great time every year doing this. Anyone interested come to the Penny Carnival this year, Saturday, March 5 at the Coliseum in Oregon from 5 to 8 p.m. to see the great game our club made. Each month at our meetings we have an activity of some kind or a member does a demonstration or talk to prepare for fair. Anyone interested in what Circle M is about is invited the first Wednesday of every month at 7 p.m. at the Church of the Brethren, Mt. Morris.

Dear Editor, Mr. Wayne Reising has my vote because he has the integrity and commitment to serve others. Wayne has a reputation as he has shown on may occasions that he is willing to do all that he can to help others. Whether it is serving in one of the various organizations, giving assistance, or serving on a board, I know that we can count on Wayne to lend a hand. This is why I will be voting for Wayne Reising for Ogle County Board District 2 on
A windblown rubbish citation?
Jon Barnhart Oregon
Dear Editor, Leonard P. Brauchler, Polo, actually received a courtesy citation for the accumulation of wind-blown rubbish. What kind of a neighbor would be so vindictive as to actually attack someone with this type of complaint? We have had a strong wind storm this winter, a snow storm and rain. If he is to be cited by his neighbor then perhaps the

other 18 or 20 people in town should be cited also as they too have wind-blown rubbish. The weather is too inclement to be outside picking up wind-blown items. First of all it isn’t practical to be walking on a lawn when it is wet. Where is your Christian charity, your sense of kindness, your general ability to mind your own business? I would think the police officer who had to do this courtesy citation was probably embarrassed. Rita T. Jacks Polo

Sports seasons are heating up
With Brad Cavanaugh back in the loop and a strong bench to rotate players in and out, coach Matt Messer has to be feeling much better than he was two weeks ago after a loss to AFC. More will be revealed on where the Marcos are at this Saturday against Aquin. If Polo continues to play like they have, they will knock the conference leader off. Speaking of more being revealed, the critically important sub-sectional seedings will be posted by the IHSA on Thursday, Feb. 11. Remember, Polo hopes to avoid the No. 4 seed and having to travel to Brimfield. If you haven’t been out to see the Oregon boys play basketball, you’re missing a real treat. After taking it to ‘Bago last week, they are capable of beating any team in the state and are very entertaining in doing so.
By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com What did we learn this past jam-packed week of high school sports? The Polo boys basketball team has finally got it going, Oregon boys basketball is fun to watch and Ethan Cain of Polo is as good as advertised as a wrestler. Additionally, the Oregon girls bowling team will need to step it up at the sectional, and Forreston’s girls basketball team will need to do the same to have any chance against Durand in the regional final. Polo is on a roll at just the right time and can hurt teams in a lot of ways. They have the insideoutside game with Tristin Woodin popping threes and Wyatt Patterson in the paint.
The Hawks had a road trip to one of the more historic venues in Illinois basketball this past weekend at Benton. It served as both cultural and educational, allowing the players to be exposed to southern Illinois style basketball and also compete in a 3,900-seat gym. “It was built in 1972 and was a great places to play,� Oregon coach Quinn Virgil said. “They have pictures of (hometown hero) Doug Collins and all those great teams from the 60s in the lobby.� Oregon doesn’t have the same anticipation as Polo when it comes to seedings. They are a lock with Sterling Newman to be either No. 2 or 3. Either way, those two teams should meet in the regional final. Time is ticking away for the chance to see the Hawks play. With the lack of prospects coming up, it might be

awhile before a group this talented is on display. To clear up confusion on when Oregon beat Winnebago last, former Hawk coach Jim Spratt shared that his 2007 team beat the Indians on Senior Night of 2007. The last time Oregon won at ‘Bago was 12 years ago. Years ago, it was common for Oregon to send multiple wrestlers to the state meet. Saturday at Polo, only three advanced to the sectional. Three of the best, John Ghibellini, Anthony Marchetti and Matt Crandall did not make it out. Ghibellini and Marchetti had the misfortune of being in two of the toughest weight classes anywhere in 1A regionals. Crandall, a potential state champ, prematurely ended his career due to injury two weeks earlier. The 285-pounder was a questionable referee’s call of advancing to the championship bout last year at state. One of Crandall’s losses was 1-0 this year to John

Still, the Quad cities has quality bowling and Oregon needs to bowl better than they did to earn fourth at the regional to move on to state. After getting a beat down by Durand last week, can the Forreston girls basketball team recover to do the same to their opponent on Friday? Should both squads get by their semis, it will be interesting to find out. The Lady Cardinals are due for a big game and what better time for it than against Durand.

Barnes of Peru St. Bede, ranked No. 1 in the state. Being that close to the guy favored to win state makes it even more excruciating for Crandall being sidelined. It was probably more painful was to his father Kip, a former wrestling competitor and coach. Not having the chance to see your son compete in his senior years can tear up a dad, and mom too. Ethan Cain parents do have that opportunity and the Polo 195-pounder hopes to do them proud, along with the Marco wrestling community. Polo doesn’t get the accolades of schools like Byron, Dakota, Newman, Oregon and SV, but has quietly established itself as a quality program for many decades. The Oregon girls bowlers get a break at the sectional by avoiding the powerhouses from the Rockford and Chicago suburban area, like the boys run into. Instead, regionals Decatur and Rock Island feed into the Dixon sectional.

Tough game at regional By Brian Weidman Sauk Valley Media Kelsey Simpson did her usual number, and when a few of her Newman teammates joined in the fun, it proved to be a winning combination. Simpson equaled her season scoring average with 16 points, leading the Comets to a 55-37 victory against Polo in a quarterfinal game Monday night at the Class 1A Erie Regional. Newman (10-18) will take on Erie in a semifinal game on Wednesday night. Simpson, in addition to leading the Comets in scoring, grabbed five rebounds and nabbed four steals as she impacted the game on both ends of the Newman’s Mary Jensen (right) knocks the ball away from Polo’s Rilley Peterson during floor.

Mady Ferris with 12 points, while Chloe Klein played her top game to date with 10 points, 10 rebounds and three blocked shots. It is the 6-foot freshman’s first doubledouble. Klein became more offensive-minded in the fourth quarter, when she was looking for her shot and dropped in all four of her field goal attempts. “I’d do anything for this team,” Klein said, “and I really wanted to help us get to the next stage.” “For Chloe, being a freshman, that’s a big game for her, and she’s just going to get better,” Newman coach Brandon Kreczmer said. “For her, in her first postseason game, you can’t ask for more than that.” Newman had a
comfortable working margin for most of the game. Polo (4-21) did close the first half on a 4-0 run to get within nine points at 27-18, but the Comets quickly upped their lead to 33-18 a little more than 2 minutes into the third quarter. The Marcos closed the deficit to 12 points (41-29) on a pair of free throws from Haley Cisketti with 6:15 to go in the fourth quarter, but that was as close as they could get. Polo was 10-for45 from the field, as shaky shooting continued to be an issue. “In the second half, I counted 15 missed layups,” Polo coach Jeff Grobe said. “If you make half of them, it’s a really close game, but Turn to B2
Polo’s Ethan Cain rolls through wrestling regional By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com In a battle for the wrestling team title at the Class 1A Polo Regional on Feb. 6, Dakota and Byron gave performances worthy of a dual meet state finals championship. Ethan Cain of Polo gave a performance worthy of being a state champion. Nearly overshadowed by the star pedigree of wrestlers from the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the state in his hometown gym, Cain still had everyone buzzing about his title at 195 pounds. It wasn’t so much the title, but how he did it. In his semifinal match, Cain needed only 12 seconds to get a pin. Not to be outdone in the finals, he dispatched of Chris Jenson of Dakota in an identical 12-second pin. Coming into the regional, he had a 10-second pin in Polo’s last meet. “I want to be a state champion,” said Cain, who improved to 35-1. “I’ve been working for that since kindergarten.” To get a 12-second pin over a senior from Dakota with 25 wins is a statement-type win. This was no run-of-the-mill opponent. “Ethan has been working so hard for this,” Polo coach Justin Zigler said. “He’s only missed 2 days of lifting all year, and that was because he was sick. He’s so coachable, and has that desire to win.” Cain looks forward to the sectional, where he’ll
have chance to see Dallas Appleman (28-3) of Amboy, the only wrestler to beat him. It was also be the next stop on what Cain hopes will be his third trip downstate. “The last two times, I lost just before the medal round,” Cain said. “I want to change that.” Polo also got a title from freshman Noah Paul (30-4) at 106. Paul edged a member of the Alber wrestling dynasty (eight state titles by four different family members) at Dakota, freshman Caleb Alber, 7-6. Alber took an early 4-2 lead, but Paul demonstrated superior riding strength and controlled the rest of the match. “They had a good game plan against Noah,” Zigler said. “They tried to get him to win it on his feet, but Noah is better on top.” Paul’s win helped Byron in its quest to unseat 3-time state champion Dakota. Byron had a slight lead going into the finals, and was still ahead 183-180 midway through the meet. That’s when the meat of the Indians’ lineup took control. Defending state champs Greg Krulas (145) and Nate Olsen (160) easily won, and Jared Packer pinned Polo’s Jesse Ditzler at 152. However, the meet wasn’t decided until 220 pounds, when Dakota’s Maverick McPeek pinned Oregon’s Anthony Marchetti. That gave the Indians 201 points to 194 for Byron. Turn to B2

Cardinals grounded by Aquin The first time Forreston made a shot from the floor Saturday night came with 15 seconds left in the first quarter. Against a tough team like Freeport Aquin the offensive troubles spelled trouble for the Cardinals. After the first quarter Forreston was behind 19-3. Throughout the game the margin between the two teams would remain steady in the double digits. Aquin had a 34-16 lead at the half before going on to win 62-40. Leading the way for Forreston was Austin Groshans with 19 points and Sam Barkalow with four points. Bryce Flick, Brandon Schneiderman, and Spencer Kelsey each had three points. Caleb Poffenberger, Jaron Groshans, and Michael Singley had two points each. Logan Rogers and Lane Henneman each made a free throw. Forreston is 3-8 in the conference.
Marcos win over Raiders The Marcos pulled away in the second half to knock off the league-leading Raiders 63-46 in an NUIC East matchup in Ashton. Tristin Woodin knocked down three 3-pointers and scored 19 points for Polo (16-9, 6-4), which broke
open a 28-27 halftime lead. Wyatt Patterson added 17 points, and Brad Cavanaugh scored 13. Adam Hart led AFC (179, 9-2) with 11 points, while Kaywan Palmer and Jamey Talley each scored 10. The Marcos used a
balanced attack to beat the Cardinals 69-32 in an NUIC East road game. Brad Cavanaugh had 13 points, and Tristin Woodin scored 12 for Polo (15-9, 5-4), which also got 11 points from Peyton Glawe and nine from Wyatt Patterson.

Layups were being missed From B1 that’s been our thing all year. We miss some bunnies. We play hard, and the girls never quit on me all season, but we just don’t have the horses.” Leading the way for the Marcos was sophomore guard Rilley Peterson, who made three of her seven attempts from 3-point range, and finished with 15 points. She’ll be one of the team’s leaders next season, and pointed to improved shooting as an area to be shored up. “We don’t finish that much in practice, and sometimes don’t take it that seriously,” Peterson said. “We need to do that.” Newman will be back in Erie Wednesday for a shot at the host Cardinals. Erie (20-6) won a 43-34 decision in the teams’ only previous meeting this season, back on Dec. 10. Kreczmer noted slowing down senior forward Rachel Cobert, who averages just under 16 points and 9 rebounds per game, will be job No. 1 for his team. “She’s a great athlete,” Kreczmer said, “and she
In what was certainly the toughest Regional in the state, the Polo Marcos finished fifth and qualified three wrestlers including two champions for next week’s Sectional in Princeton. Wrestling starts at 4:30 p.m. on Friday and continues Saturday at 10 a.m. Noah Paul took the 106 pound title and Ethan Cain was the top finisher at 195 pounds. Jesse Ditzler finished second at 152 pounds. Also wrestling for the Marcos were Ben Sketo at 120 pounds, Braxton Stamm at 138 pounds, Matt Akins at 170 pounds, Andy Rucker at 182 pounds, Juan Dominguez at 220 pounds, and Cody Moser at 285 pounds, all exiting the tournament in the consolation semifinals. Paul, the top seed, got a bye to the semifinals where he met Dayne Thomas of Stillman Valley. He was leading 7-3 after a set of backpoints in the first when he cranked up the tilt, working it four time for three points each to take a 19-3 technical fall at 3:20. Paul met Caleb Alber of Dakota in the final. He lost two takedowns before he got one of his own and worked it into a cradle for a 6-4 first period lead, but he lost a reverse with 10 seconds left in the second to knot the score. Alber let Paul up to start the third and he fought a tough shot for a stalemate with 15 seconds left to take a tough 7-6 win. Cain spent much less time on the mat. After a first round bye, he drove Matt Wombacher of Byron to his back in a half nelson in 12 seconds. And it was another 12 second match in the final as he went outside for a single leg takedown and worked a wing into a reverse half to defeat Chris Jensen of Dakota for the championship. Ditzler tried the double chicken wing twice in the
first period of his opener, but no points. In the second period, he reversed into a half nelson and pinned at 2:27. Against ninth ranked Kyle Kalkbrenner of LenaWinslow in the semifinal, Ditzler got a takedown with ten seconds left in the first, rode out the second, and scored an escape, a takedown, and a two point nearfall in the third to take a 9-0 win. Kalkbrenner took third. In the final against top ranked Jared Packer of Dakota, Ditzler was taken down in a double leg and pinned in a double chicken wing at 1:32. Sketo got pinned in a half nelson in 24 seconds in his first match and pinned in the consolation semifinal in 25 seconds. Stamm was on his back in a half nelson in the first period of his opener and was pinned in the same hold at 3:55. In the first round of consolation, he had two first period takedowns, the second to the back, and had a chicken wing and a tilt in the second, and reversed to the back and pinned at 4:28. In the semifinal he met third place finisher Konner Wilson of Oregon who drove him to his back in a half nelson in 35 seconds to end his day. In his first match, Akins was on his back in a tilt and lost a counter to start the second and was turned with a butcher and pinned at 3:13 by third place finisher Connor Davis of Lena. In the wrestleback quarterfinal, Akins met John Ghibellini of Oregon, losing a quick takedown and three sets of backpoints in the first period, and he was turned with a butcher and pinned in a reverse half nelson at 2:52. Rucker got roughed up in his first match against Cade Slayton of Dakota, on his back in a tilt and a half nelson in the first and reversed to his back in a half nelson for three points to complete a 15-0 technical fall loss at 4:22. Rucker trailed 5-0
after the first period of an action packed match against third place finisher Drake Jennings of Stillman in the wrestleback semifinal. He lost a reverse in the second and another set of backpoints before he reversed off his back to get back in the match, but a late escape and takedown were not enough and he dropped from the competition with a 12-8 loss. Dominguez had two close matches with Anthony Marchetti of Oregon earlier in the season. This time it looked to be the same through the first two periods, scoreless after one, and Marchetti with an escape in the second. Then Marchetti cranked it up, working the tilt three times to defeat Dominguez by a 9-0 major decision. In the wrestleback semifinal, he was scoreless through the first, spun away for an escape and hit a double leg takedown in the second and weathered a third period reverse to take a 4-2 win. In the semifinal against second ranked Maverick McPeek of Dakota, Dominguez tied the score at three when he stepped away early in the third, but McPeek got him in a body lock and tripped him to his back and pinned him with nine seconds left in the match. Cody Moser opened against Cole Burke of Oregon and lost a takedown to his back to trail 4-1 after the first. In the second, he scored a takedown on a counter with 30 seconds left in the period and worked into a butcher to pin at 3:59. In the semifinal against eventual champion Josh Anderson of West Carroll, Moser lost a takedown in the first, a reverse in the second, and another takedown in the third before he was turned in a butcher and pinned at 5:57. His tournament ended when Lucas Dobson of Stillman drove him down to his back with three tenths of a second left on the first period clock in the wrestleback semifinal.
Injury sidelined wrestler From A1
Stevens (182) and Tyler Burke (195), but returning state medalist Matt Crandall could only watch from the sidelines. In the 285-pound bracket, in which Crandall would have been the top seed, Josh Anderson of West Carroll won in overtime over Isaac Lawson of Lena-Winslow 2-1. “It’s a big disappointment,” Crandall said. “Two weeks ago, I felt something in my knee at the Orion tournament.” An MRI indicated medial
meniscus tears. Last year, Crandall suffered an ACL injury in the same knee at the state meet. He tried to return for football, but never was fully recovered. “I talked to Coach [Mike] Guzman about wrestling [in the regional], but we decided not to. I want to be able to play football in college and not do any more damage,” Crandall said. West Carroll also had second-place finishes from Andrew VanKampen at 113 and Kaleb Hartman at 145.

Carroll County school superintendents are taking a fifth crack at passing a 1 percent sales tax increase this spring. The County School Facility Operation Tax measure will be on the March 15 ballot. The closest it has come to passing was March 18, 2014, when it fell short by 101 votes, 1,462 to 1,361. The state wrote the local option into law in 2007 to shift the burden of school funding from property taxes. If approved, it would bump the county tax rate from 6.5 percent to 7.5 percent. The funds it generates can be used only for building
maintenance, renovations and upgrades, and paying off bonds sold for such projects. The tax is not assessed on groceries, medication, services, farm equipment, cars, trucks, ATVs, boats, RVs and mobile homes. The benefit of the local option tax is that residents don’t shoulder the whole increase themselves. “It can be used to pay for a good chunk of what the taxpayers are currently paying,” said Tim Schurman, superintendent of the Chadwick-Milledgeville district. “Visitors to our county – people who go out to eat at Poopy’s – they could be paying for improvements in the district.” He noted that Carroll County residents are Turn to B5

Now is the time to apply for Clean-Up Day Grants The Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department is once again offering grants to units of government to help fund
Clean-up Days throughout the County. A Clean-Up Day could allow people in the area to dispose of waste tires,
appliances, and other types of waste which may not be picked up by the regular refuse collection service. This could be a one day
event or a special drop-off point where residents could drop off items for a limited time. Cleaning up a section of a river in Ogle County could also be considered. The maximum grant amount is $2,000. Matching funds at the ratio of 50/50 must be provided by the city, village or township. Matching funds can be met partially through paid labor by city or township staff, or by volunteer or “in-
kind hours.” The application is easy to complete, but the funds are limited. Early application is encouraged. If possible, arrangements should be made for the separation and recycling of materials collected during the event. Recyclable materials should include scrap metal, white goods (large appliances), tires, plastics, paper, aluminum, and glass, depending on
available services and outlets for the materials. Each application will be reviewed by staff and then referred to the Ogle County Solid Waste Committee of the county board. Grants will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information or to receive an application visit www.oglecounty.org or call 815-732-4020.

Schools to ask voters again for sales tax referendum From B3 supporting multimilliondollar projects in Clinton, Iowa, and in Whiteside County, where the referendum passed in November 2014. All three Carroll County districts recently sold more than $1 million in bonds, and all three are committed to using money the tax increase would raise to pay them off. Chadwick-Milledgeville sold or restructured $2.3 million in health/life/safety bonds in March 2014, which took the local tax rate up 47 cents.
The board would use its share of the increase – estimated to be about $210,000 a year – to pay off debt and eliminate the 47cent hike, Schurman said In West Carroll, the recent 10-year health/life/safety survey revealed $550,000 of work needed to bring buildings up to code, and last month the board approved the sale of $1.25 million in bonds to pay for it. Its share of a sales tax increase is estimated to be between $550,000 and $600,000. Had the referendum passed in November 2014, the board might not have
“Quite honestly, things that need to be done will get done if the revenue is there. And they won’t get done if it’s not there,” Eastland Superintendent Mark Hansen resorted to selling bonds, Superintendent Craig Mathers said. “Instead of putting it on your credit card, you pay face value right there,” he said. “By doing all these facility projects, you’re also going to be employing people to work in your community.” A third of the money
raised would go to health/ life/safety projects, another third toward tax abatement, and the rest to a savings account for long-term, bigticket projects, such as a new roof or new boiler systems, he said. Other projects on the todo list: Sidewalks are in dire need of repair, and the high
school stage is the weight room. “I can’t even use my stage for its intended purposes,” Mathers said. Eastland is finalizing the sale of $3.5 million in bonds earmarked for boiler projects districtwide. Most date to 1951 and 1952, but some date back to 1927. The 28-cent increase to pay for the bonds will mean the owner of a $100,000 home will see about a $100 increase on its property taxes, but that increase could be halved if the local option sales tax referendum passes, Eastland Superintendent
Mark Hansen said. But, he cautioned, “It certainly doesn’t mean property taxes are going down significantly in a state where government is reducing its assistance with public schools,” he said. Aside from the boilers, Eastland’s buildings are in relatively good shape, so if the measure passes, its share of more than $200,000 a year would go to property tax relief, Hansen said. “Quite honestly, things that need to be done will get done if the revenue is there,” he said, “And they won’t get done if it’s not there.”

Ogle County Newspapers, Thursday, February 11, 2016 Page B9
Astrograph Love freely Thursday Febraury 11, 2016 AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Stick to your game plan. Giving in to temptation will not end well. Strive to reach the personal and professional goals that will help you excel. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You will get ahead, make financial gains and find your niche if you are diligent in your pursuit of happiness and satisfaction. Romance will ease stress and improve your life. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Observation will help you recognize what will and won’t work. Be fastidious in the way you approach your job in order to avoid the wrath of someone waiting for you to screw up.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Surprise everyone by making an unusual change to the way you look or live. It’s time to shake things up a bit and to do things the way you want to do them. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -You’ll feel anxious if you give in to someone you disagree with. Don’t be afraid to say no or walk away from an argument that is impossible to win.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Stop before you go too far. There will be a fine line between too little and too much. Moderation in all your dealings will be the key to success. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your instincts will lead you to something or someone that will change your life. An open mind will encourage others to share their aspirations. You can make a difference.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Avoid bullies and fast talkers. Explore your ideas and invest in the possibilities that make you the most excited. Be true to yourself and spend time with like-minded people.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What you do out of kindness and respect will result in all sorts of rewards. Your actions will make others take notice and put you in the running for a special position.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Trust in your abilities and make the changes that will bring you a high return. Back away from situations that are limiting. Don’t be afraid to make a move.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Don’t jump in to something too quickly. What sounds feasible at first will turn out to be a fiasco. Bide your time and consider the practicality of whatever you want to pursue.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Speak up, share your ideas and concerns and make things happen. You can make a difference if you put your plans in motion. Love freely and unconditionally.

Sauk Valley Media strongly urges any parent or guardian to verify the validity of the license of any facility before placing a child in it's care. *Family homes that care for no more than three (3) children under the age of twelve or which receive only children from a single household, for less than 24 hours per day, are exempt from licensure as day care homes. The three children to whom this exemption applies includes the family's natural or adopted children and any other persons under the age of 12 whether related or unrelated to the operator of the day care home. (DCFS Rule, Part 377.3 (c))
