wide variety of home-made items in the craft fair and new and used toys at the toy show. Vendor Robert Heath, Janesville, Wis., told customers about the quality of antique toys. He joked with one customer that these were toys that could be played with and still look new.
Some of his toys were from the early 1900s and were all metal. He said that if an axel Hundreds of farm toy or part of the toy was bent or enthusiasts and craft show broke, it could easily be fixed hunters descended on with a hammer or a pair of Forreston Junior/Senior pliers.

What they all had in common was classic artwork that some collectors use to decorate the walls of a barn. “The show was extremely well-attended,� said Forreston FFA Advisor Robert Nelson. “Both parking lots were full and I don’t think the weather hurt our attendance at all. I think with the harsh winter, people wanted to get out of the house for awhile.� In the morning the roads had slick spots due to melting snow from the day before.

We sold out in a very short time,� said Nelson. “Oliver tractors always sell well in this area as we had an Oliver dealer here.� The toy show proceeds support the Ag Department and FFA programs at Forreston High School. “We have a great alumni chapter that benefits all the agriculture students here,� said Nelson. “They provide funding for classroom resources, various FFA activities, student FFA jackets, FFA judging trips, scholarships, tractor restoration expenses, and maintenance of the school greenhouse.� Organizers are still calculating the exact turnout and money raised from the event.
Polo police remain on the lookout for a man who is accused of sexually molesting an 11-year-old boy last month. “We haven’t received anymore reports or sightings or leads,� Police Chief Dennis Christen said Monday. “We’re keeping our eyes open.� Christen issued a news release March 6 that said early last month a man stopped the boy, who was walking home from school, and groped the child’s genitals. The press release was issued a day after the boy reported the incident, which is believed to have happened about 3:30 p.m. around Feb. 5 in the 100 block of South Pleasant Avenue, just two blocks from Centennial Elementary School. Authorities are looking for the man based on the boy’s detailed description. The man physically stopped the boy and groped him, but did not speak to the youth, according to the release. The boy told police he hit the man in the face, causing him to release the child, who ran home. “The juvenile decided not to tell anyone about the incident until now,� the release said. Before the incident, the boy had seen the man five different times in the area of South Prairie Avenue and East Mason Street, but hadn’t spotted him since. According to the police description, the man is white,
between 50 and 60 years old, five feet, 11 inches tall, thin build with bright blue or baby blue eyes and white hair. He was not wearing glasses or gloves. He had white facial hair that looked like he hadn’t shaved in several days, according to the police. The man’s upper lip was normal but his lower one had a triangular hump in the middle. His fingers were crooked, possibly arthritic. He was wearing a blue jumpsuit, believed to be coveralls, and a black stocking hat. Under the coveralls was some type of coat with a blue hood that was also pulled up over his stocking hat. He wore black, lace-up winter boots. Christen, who has been with the department for 24 years, said he has seen “nothing quite like this.� “It’s odd how it happened,� he said. “The typical thing is they try to lure them away from the street. I have discussed this with my officers. We’re keeping an eye out.� Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call the Polo Police Department at 815-946-3412. Christen said parents should be sure their children have safe methods of travel to school. “Hopefully, parents are keeping an eye on their kids to make sure they get safely to and from school,� he said. If they must walk, be sure they walk with a friend and make them aware to avoid strangers and to report any suspicious activity immediately, he advised. Sauk Valley Media CONTRIBUTED TO THIS ARTICLE

Body found in Kyte River By Vinde Wells Editor Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn is seeking the public’s help in identifying the body of a white or Hispanic male who was found Monday evening in a stream near Rochelle. A jogger spotted the body shortly before 7 p.m. floating in the Kyte River near Flannigan Park in Hillcrest, which is just
north of Rochelle. An autopsy was performed Tuesday afternoon. In a press release issued Tuesday morning, Harn said no missing adults have been reported within the county. Anyone with information that would assist in identifying the body is asked to contact sheriff’s detectives at 815-732-6666. The press release said
the male is believed to be between 35 and 50 years old, approximately 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, and weighs approximately 200 pounds. The male had medium length black hair and a short growth of facial hair. He was wearing a dark sweatshirt, dark T-shirt, and blue jeans with a woven leather belt, and blue athletic shoes, according to the press release.

Maxson’s opens March 23 By Vinde Wells Editor Area residents can celebrate the arrival of spring with a meal at one of Oregon’s bestknown eateries. After being closed for almost five months and sold, Maxson’s Riverside Restaurant, 1469 Ill. 2, will reopen under new management on the first weekend of spring. New owner Nancy Semmerling said Monday that a “soft opening� for Oregon residents only will be held on Saturday, March 22 from 3 to 6 p.m. Invitations will be going out in the mail. The ever-popular Sunday morning brunch will resume
the following day, and the general public is invited then. “Everyone is invited to come for Sunday brunch on March 23,� Semmerling said. “We’ll be open for business.� Semmerling and her husband Frank, Riverwoods, purchased the restaurant and its riverboat, the Pride of Oregon, last month from owner Rich Wiesner, Oregon. Wiesner, who had owned and operated the restaurant since 1992, retired Oct. 31 and closed the local landmark, which had been in business for more than 60 years. Since then, the Semmerlings and their daughter and son-inlaw, both chefs, have been remodeling and updating the restaurant to get ready for the
reopening. Although the restaurant will be open, Semmerling said it is anybody’s guess when the Pride of Oregon will sail again. “That all depends on how soon the ice goes out of the river,� she said. The paddle-wheeler was built in Palatka, Fla., in the late 1980s. The restaurant’s original owner John Maxson and his family opened the restaurant in 1952 and operated it until Anne Sullivan, preservation architect, talks with Amy Woods, Thornton Tomasetti , as they sold it to John and Peter Woods examines Blackhawk Monday afternoon.

Performance times are 7 p.m. on Friday, March 14 and Saturday, March 15.

Doug Poppen, a 1977 graduate of Forreston High School, returns to his home state for a choir and band concert scheduled for Wednesday, March 19 at Oregon High School. The performance, set for 7:30 p.m., will feature the choirs and band from North Fayette Valley High School, West Union, Iowa. “This is the first time I have taken the full choir to Illinois. I believe it was 1990 when I took our swing choir, which at that time consisted of about 15 students, so this is a much larger group,� Poppen said. The stop in Oregon is the first leg of a trip to Washington D.C., where the band and chorus will perform and do some sightseeing. Accompanying Poppen on the trip are high school band director Ted Schacherer, high school and middle school choir director Janet Helgerson, middle school and elementary band director Linda Johansen, and several parent chaperones. After the concert in Oregon on March 19, the group will
go on to Washington D.C., eventually returning home on March 24. Poppen, the son of Rogene and the late Alfred Poppen, rural Forreston, attended Wartburg College, Waverly, Iowa, graduating in 1981. He also has a master’s degree from the University of Iowa, which he received the same year he began working at what was then North Fayette High School. Just this past year the school entered a whole grade sharing agreement with Valley Community Schools, a neighboring school district. As a result Poppen and his fellow music instructors have enjoyed larger groups of students to work with in band and chorus. “I am so blessed to work with this group of kids. The union of our students in the choir is nothing less than great. There is so much talent here, it almost scares me sometimes,� Poppen said. Poppen works with the junior and senior choir members, while Helgerson works with the freshmen and sophomores. There is an 11th
and 12th grade choir, a 9th and 10th grade choir, and a chamber choir. Schacherer directs the high school band, while Johansen also works with high school band members by giving lessons. The school has a concert band as well as a jazz band. Both schools had strong music programs before whole grade sharing occurred, and with “one� ratings already achieved at some large group contests this year it seems the tradition will continue. “I am very excited about the concert we will be having at the high school in Oregon. It is a great opportunity for our kids to gain more experience performing for a large audience, and of course it is special for me since it will be held near my hometown,� Poppen said. Wednesday night’s concert will include performances by the concert band, the 11th and 12th grade choir, the 9th and 10th choir, and two pieces with the combined choirs. A free will donation will be accepted and the public is encouraged to attend.

Girl Scouting and spiritual expression that spans the organization’s history. The Girl Scout experience is based on the Girl Scout Promise and Law, which include principles and values common to most faiths. Girl Scouts is also nonpartisan, secular, and inclusive. It’s membership, which currently consists of three million girls and volunteers as well as more than 59 million alumnae, includes women and girls of varied religious traditions. In remaining secular, the intent is not to minimize a girl’s religious experience; to the contrary, Girl Scouts is a place where girls of all faiths can honor their spirituality while at the same time embracing the diversity of the Girl Scout Movement. Faith-based awards include religious recognitions as well as the My Promise, My Faith pin. In addition, many faithbased communities offer programs, in conjunction with Girl Scouts, which recognize local girl members. Adult volunteers from faith-based organizations partner with girls by connecting the My Promise, My Faith pin to their faith’s own religious recognitions. They guide girls through their personal faith journey and helping them understand their faith intellectually and spiritually.

4-H Ambassador spotlights grandfather Stan Eden By 4-H Ambassador, Michaela Eden 4-H Spotlight: Stan Eden This year the Ogle County 4-H Ambassador team decided to do 4-H Spotlight News Article each month. Each 4-H Spotlight will be written by one of our seven 4-H Ambassadors on a different person who has helped and supported the Ogle County 4-H program, and to find out how they got to where they are now in the 4-H program. This month’s spotlight is about Stan Eden, from Oregon, written by his granddaughter Michaela Eden, Oregon. Stan is a great supporter of 4-H and Agriculture program. He started his 4-H career in the Woodbine Ranger 4-H club. He had numerous projects such as swine, gardening, corn, and the tractor project. I asked him what his
favorite memory was when he was in 4-H and he replied the tractor driving contests. He remembers very fondly the instructor, Bill Hubbard of Kings. He told many tales of the contest; and what it enquired. In his swine project, he remembers his Chester White pigs and being able to farrow his own sow. I also asked him what he wished he could do more of in his past and current experience. He said he would like to help with more projects that correspond with other people and help organize and achieve their goals. Stan has held many careers and involvement in the agricultural programs to this day. He was a Unit Educator in Crops and Environment for Ogle County and has been deeply involved in the Cooperative Extension Service. He has had the honor
of receiving the National Association of County Agricultural Agents and is currently in the 4-H Hall of Fame. In the 4-H program today, he is an active member of the Ogle County Fair board and assists at the Ogle County Fair. He enjoys being the Ogle County Livestock Judging Coach. He also assists with numerous presentations in promoting the 4-H program and annually creates a workshop during Day of Dabbling for many 4-H members across Ogle County. He has brought forth many achievements for the 4-H program. He enjoys watching his grandchildren pursue their agriculture careers through showing swine and becoming proud 4-H members. 4-H is an informal youth education program conducted

Manager at University of Wisconsin - Madison Arboretum, will talk about the importance of planting native plants for pollinators. Pollinators, truly, are forgotten providers. They are essential to life as we know it. They include some bats, birds, especially hummingbirds, and other animals, mostly insects, beetles, butterflies, moths,
flies, and especially bees. Unfortunately, many urban and agricultural practices today have been severely detrimental to pollinators. Urban sprawl, removing or spraying roadside vegetation, and manicured lawns with no weedy or brushy areas, have taken away much nesting and feeding opportunities. Fifield -Murray will show homeowners how they,

Bryanna Flynn and Cheyenne Hines, both juniors at Milledgeville High School, are clear about their career plans: They want to become registered nurses. This school year, they started with the certified nursing assistant program at the Whiteside Area Career Center in Sterling, a 15-minute bus ride from Milledgeville. “I wanted to get a head start so I don’t have to do that work when I get out of high school,� Flynn said. Hines said the program is good “hands-on� experience. According to the career center, Milledgeville has 26 students enrolled, which is expected to stay the same next year. In contrast, some schools plan to reduce the number of students they send to the center next year. As a result, the vocational school expects its lowest enrollment since 1971, the year most area school districts joined it. Whiteside Area Career

The center also offers courses in auto service, building trades, computer technology, criminal justice, commercial foods, business, and welding and manufacturing. Career education often seems like a relatively easy place to cut, Purvis said. “Our schools have so many mandates,� she said. “They have to meet those obligations first.� She doesn’t expect further drops in the center’s enrollment. “I think it’ll level off,� she predicted. “The schools will run out of room. I don’t see how they can absorb all of those students back.� Most students, Purvis said, say they plan to go to college. “They’ve been trained to say that,� she said. “We have to help kids get to where they need to be. We see students go to college, graduate, and they are underemployed or unemployed and living with their parents.�

WACC offers programs with working labs that most high schools cannot offer.� Dixon Superintendent Michael Juenger said some of the high school’s elective classes had not been filled. “We have some fine elective teachers,� he said. “There is a building trades class at Whiteside, but we have two industrial arts teachers, and we had the ability to offer that right here in Dixon. Let’s see what we can do to strengthen electives at the high school.� This year, about a fifth of the career center’s students come from Sterling High School, while 15 percent hail from Rock Falls, 13 percent from Dixon, and 6 percent from Newman Central Catholic High School.

Center has 646 students enrolled this year, but that number is projected to plunge 20 percent – to 515. Most of that drop is because Dixon and Rock Falls high schools will send fewer students to the center, which is next door to Sterling High School. In 1976, 1,498 students enrolled at the center, the most in its history. Some of the center’s roughest years followed the closing of Northwestern Steel & Wire mill in 2001. The number dropped to 555 in 2005. Because of a drop in general state aid to schools, Dixon and Rock Falls are now cutting the number of students going to the career center, said Kim Purvis, the center’s director. Both Rock Falls and Dixon have a number of vocational classes, which officials want to fill before sending students to the career center, Purvis said. “It’s financially the best option for the schools,� she said in an interview. “They’re still providing students with electives, but they won’t have to pay the tuition for the

There is a current attempt to place a county sheriff’s administration and coroner’s morgue building, and later a jail, in the middle of the City of Oregon’s planned Riverfront Tourism District on First Street. The reason for the irresponsible push on that site is yet to be disclosed (Why the secrecy?). The First Street location is contrary to the county’s $63,180 Architect’s Space Needs Study and would also leave the judicial center complex high and dry.
At the same time it would put a disconnected, taxexempt government facility in the middle of a planned tourism area effectively slamming the brakes on that economic development effort, created by a nearly $60,000 Comprehensive Plan professionally prepared for the city with your taxpayer dollars. The Riverfront Tourism District expanding the existing $75 million tourism impact in Ogle county, would in the long run, create dozens of property tax paying buildings, job creation numbers on the order of another Etnyres or Woods, and bring a multitude of sales tax paying customers to Ogle County, much like Dixon’s Riverfront which has transformed that entire

Cards basketball coach resigns By Andy Colbert Reporter In a surprise announcement, Jonathan Schneiderman has decided to resign as Forreston basketball coach. This isn’t just any resignation, as Schneiderman has to be considered a favorite son of Cardinal basketball, having starred for the program and returning a few years later as its coach. “Generally speaking, it was time for a change,” Schneiderman said. “I’m getting a masters degree in educational leadership and will pursue administration at the high school level.” The nine-year Forreston mentor has not ruled out
“There’s a good future with eight seniors coming back,” — Jonathan Schneiderman coaching in the future, though. “My coaching days are not over. I’m just not sure what level,” Schneiderman said. After playing basketball at University of IllinoisChicago, Schneiderman played overseas in France and England and then went to Stevenson High School as an assistant basketball coach. When the Forreston head job opened in 2005, Schneiderman was encouraged to apply for it. It
was almost a slam dunk that he would he hired for it. “There are 12 reasons to stay in the city and suburbs and two reasons to come home,” Schneiderman said. “Those two reasons, family and small town life, trumped the 12.” While at Forreston, Schneiderman compiled a 178-85 record and won five out the first six conference titles. The Cardinals won four regionals and two sectionals. “Not any season sticks out.
What stands out most were the players and coaches and the relationships you build,” Schneiderman said. In his fourth year at Forreston, Schneiderman was tempted to return to UIC, as the Director of Basketball Operations position became open. “I was enjoying teaching and coaching at Forreston too much,” Schneiderman said. With five starting juniors, Schneiderman has left the program with a good nucleus for next year. “There’s a good future with eight seniors coming back,” Schneiderman said. “Youth basketball is also solid and we Forreston coach Jonathan Schneiderman discusses a have a promising freshmen call with an official.

Polo’s athletic director happy to be in the NUIC This week, the athletic directors from the three schools in our coverage were interviewed. Included in the articles are their thoughts on sports at their schools and other pertinent issues. We start this series with the Forreston and Polo Athletic Directors. Next week will feature Oregon’s Athletic Director. By Andy Colbert Reporter On the wall of Terry Jenkins’ office is a framed photo of him and Denny Donahue of Oregon crossing the finish line on Polo’s old cinder track. Over 40 years later, Jenkins is still at Polo as athletic director. “When I was in school, you didn’t know about what another school’s enrollment was,” said Jenkins, who competed at Polo before most sports went to multiple classes. “It didn’t matter. Now, everybody knows
everybody else’s enrollment.” Polo has 201 students, substantially less than what Polo had in the early 70s when Jenkins was in school. “I miss the old Mid Northern. That was the best conference,” said the 1973 grad. Still, Jenkins is happy to be in the Northwest Upstate conference. “Right now, the NUIC is as stable as its ever been,” said Jenkins, the dean of NUIC ADs. “The coaches from the other teams are good to us, even when we have bad teams. They don’t run the
score up.” With such a small enrollment, Jenkins realizes certain sports can run in cycles. “Look at football. You can go 2-7 and 1-8 and then go 7-2, depending on classes,” Jenkins said. Polo has been granted a reprieve of sorts by dropping down to the lower-enrollment side of the conference in football, another factor in the won-loss record. It is hoped that this combined with a strong sophomore class will get the Marcos back in the playoffs for the first time in five years. One sport that Polo has been on a roll lately has been basketball. After two straight 20-win seasons (the benchmark for success in high school), the Marcos are
poised for a couple more 20win years. Jenkins is also proud of the venue the team plays in. “Our gym is as nice as any around,” Jenkins said, pointing out many improvements made by the Booster Club. Polo still gets a crowd for its sporting events, but there has been a drop off, similar to what many other schools are experiencing. “You don’t see as many people as you used to,” Jenkins said. “They can’t afford it as much. Another reason is that we have things scheduled on so many nights. It used to be only a game on Tuesday and Friday or Saturday.” As far as participation, Jenkins is happy with what he sees at Polo.
“With so many more things for kids to do, we’re pretty lucky with that,” he said. “One advantage we have is we don’t cut anyone from a team. And, it’s cheap for parents. It’s $20 for the first two sports and $10 for the third, with a cap of $100 per family.” In terms of being competitive, Polo has remained solidly in the mix with most schools, though some sports have struggled more than others. “Everybody wants to be a champ. I like to think we’re pretty competitive most of the time,” Jenkins said. “We have nice kids at Polo.” Polo continues to co-op with Forreston in wrestling, track, baseball and softball and according to Jenkins, the arrangement continues to
work out well. Polo are the host schools for wrestling and track, with Forreston handling baseball and softball. One difficulty in the prep sporting arena that Jenkins see is club and AAU sports. “That hurts high school sports more than anything,” Jenkins said. “Let kids be in three sports. That makes them better athletes. At Polo, club sports really haven’t interfered. I don’t even know who those people are that run them.” Another concern for Jenkins is how big football has become and how it has been the driving force in conference re-alignments. “In the past 40 years, the football playoffs have changed high school sports. That and the different class systems,” Jenkins said.
Kann worked in Byron before coming to Forreston By Andy Colbert Reporter After 13 years as a teacher and coach in Arizona, Jim Kann has returned to Ogle County. Kann, who graduated from Stillman Valley, is in his first year as Athletic Director for Forreston. “Family brought me back,” said Kann, who was at Dixon from 1986 to 1990 and then at Byron for the next 10 years. Coming from a high school of 2,500 (Basha, Ariz.) to one of 242 (Forreston) has been quite a change for Kann. One such change is going from a school that had a great deal of one-sport specialization to Forreston, a place still active with multiple sport competitors.
Brawl after regional game indicates need for changes By Andy Colbert Reporter News item: A full-scale melee breaks our between Rockford East and Jefferson immediately after a regional basketball game at Belvidere North High School, as both teams went through the timehonored tradition of shaking hands. As expected, the IHSA administered punishments, including suspending Jefferson coach Todd Brannan and a five of his players from participating in the 4A regional final against Huntley, a 77-29 loss. East hasn’t got word yet on their fate, but it will be forthcoming and probably
“It’s a positive here compared to Basha, where kids would do one sport nine months out of the year,” Kann said. At a larger school, Kann saw firsthand the influence club sports have a high school sports programs. “At Forreston, kids do both club and high school sports. That wasn’t always the case in Arizona,” Kann said. Compared to some oldschool high school athletic directors, Kann has taken a common-sense approach to the club scene. “It’s important to have communication and respect between the club and the school,” Kann said. “When it gets to be a pull on one side, there’s a problem. At
the end of the day, there are clubs for everything – dance, cheerleading, pole vaulting. It’s the reality of today’s world.” Kann is satisfied with athletic participation, which saw over 50 percent of the student body in either a fall sport, cheerleading or the band. He also felt having 50 kids out for football was very good for a 1A school. Forreston even competed in some freshmen football games, often a rarity at the 1A level. Some of these competitions came in the form of 4-team jamborees, in which you play each team for one quarter. Long noted for a strong community presence in its sports program, Kann is happy
to have the continuing interest and backing. “We have great support from the community,” Kann said. “There is a lot of tradition here and this is a good, hardworking community.” In supporting its sports programs, Forreston travels well. It’s an important part of the fabric of the communities of both Forreston and Leaf River. “We do very well on attendance,” Kann added. Another component of the community pride are the high-level hospitality rooms and concession stands that Forreston has for major sporting events. “We do one of the better concession stands in the area. The people that run it really
care about what they offer,” Kann said. “Everybody raves about our hospitality rooms. The cafeteria women take great pride in it.” As far as specific sports program, Kann feels each is solid. A major uncertainty is finding a replacement for basketball Jonathan Schneiderman, a long-time fixture of Cardinal basketball. “Jonathan felt it was time for a change,” Kann said. “We’ll follow the timetable and go through the procedures of hiring a new one.” Forreston recently finished hosting perhaps the bestattended 1A boys basketball regional in the state. As a testament to Forreston’s ability to be a host, the event got rave reviews.
“We have very nice facilities,” Kann said. “Our football field had 10 games, counting youth, and it held up. The coaches and the maintenance staff are very serious about caring for it.” With conference realignment taking place all over the state, Forreston has stability in the NUIC. The regular and post-season football schedules, though, have been brutally tough. This year was yet another example, with a top-notch Cardinal team falling to eventual state champ LenaWinslow. That’s just a fact about being in a land-locked area of some of the best 1A football in the state. “We’re solid in the NUIC, with 10 teams in the east and
maintained a curfew, items lost on many of the youth of Rockford. Danforth felt God put him in VanFleet’s life for a reason. The end result of Danforth being mentor, spiritual leader and 24/7 step dad to VanFleet bore more fruits than success on the basketball court. By being accountable to a parent, VanFleet developed character and something like fighting after a ballgame would not be an option. The problems at the EastJefferson game were not a result of lack of security, or the closeness of the game, or the fact the both schools are from the Rockford public schools system. The problem is never external; instead, it emanates within us in how we react to a particular situation. All those people fighting with one another are spiritually sick. We can put police officers in place, change the rules of game, impose threats and
penalties and even eliminate handshaking, as some have suggested, in an attempt to avoid situations like what happened at the Belvidere North. However, changing the external circumstances is nothing more than a sellout by authorities and does not address the real problem, which is a spiritual bankruptcy in our society. The change needs to come inside of us, in our hearts, not on the outside. From reading what Fred VanFleet had to say about his journey in life, he needed a change of heart or his human instincts would have led him down the wrong road. We can indict the brawlers from Jefferson and East all we want, but I’d rather offer them a chance to change their heart.
Sports Column very stringent. Afterwards, much dialogue ensued about what went wrong and who was to blame. Brannan blamed East players for instigating the fight and said his players were forced to go into selfdefense mode, even though video showed at least one of the Jefferson players going after an East player. Belvidere North even was blamed for not having any police presence. For the Huntley-Jefferson contest, the school put four police officers on duty. That’s nothing more than a knee-jerk response to public pressure and a waste of resources. Something is terribly wrong with our society if police are needed to provide assistance during a handshaking ceremony between high school students. Shouldn’t this responsibility rest upon the coaches and administrators from the respective schools,
instead of the police? As a coach, if you don’t have control of your players, that is an indictment of a lack of discipline on your program. Or, perhaps it could be a sign of malcontents allowed on your team because of their value as a talented athlete instead of a good citizen. Reports also indicated that fans ran onto the court and got involved. Looking at the video, it was hard to make out everything, but it sure was a mess. Let’s contrast this with a story that came out earlier in the week about another product of the Rockford public school system, Fred VanFleet of Auburn. VanFleet has rocketed to stardom as the point guard for the undefeated Wichita State Shockers. In an article that appeared in “bleacherreport.com”, VanFleet explains how an important influence in his life prevented him from going in

the wrong direction. A Rockford cop named Joe Danforth came into VanFleet’s life at an early age. As a stepfather, Danforth made it clear from the beginning that VanFleet was not going to sit around and be a bum, nor run with the wrong crowd. He instilled discipline, an ethic of hard work and
But, the more important question is this – do they themselves believe they need a change on the inside?

DLR students performed well at annual contests More than 85 students represented the Oregon School District Feb. 8 at the Rt. 72 Solo and Ensemble Contest in Polo. These students were made up of sixth grade band students and seventh and eighth grade band and choir students. The Oregon Elementary sixth grade band totals in 30 events were 19 first ratings and 11 second ratings. Four perfect score performances were earned by Ryker Finch – tenor sax solo, Cynthia Nyderek – clarinet solo, Megan Gracyalny
(flute) and Jacob Christensen (bass clarinet) duet, and Sam Minnis-Flores (alto sax) and Keshon Reed (snare drum) duet. The David L. Rahn seventh and eighth grade totals in 80 events included 50 first ratings, 29 second ratings, and one third rating. Six perfect score performances came from Kyle Cermak – clarinet solo, Lucas Lauer – tuba solo, Sydne Robinson – vocal solo, Tessa Burger – vocal solo, Alyssa Theisen (bells) and Gylian Finch (flute) duet, and Megan Garrett (trumpet)
and Valeria Viteri-Pflucker (flute) duet. “Congratulations band and choir students on a very successful day at this year’s solo and ensemble contest,� said music director Miles Beske. “You can hear some of these performances at our 20th annual Band Extravaganza Concert coming up this March.� The concert will be held on Thursday, March 20 at 7 p.m. at the Blackhawk Center and will feature every band student and band in the school district.
Outage planned in Byron More than 2,000 workers are supporting Byron Generating Station’s scheduled refueling outage that began this week. Approximately 1,200 additional workers will join the 850 permanent Byron Station employees, providing a temporary boost to the local economy. Most local motels, restaurants and shops from Rockford to Rochelle see an increase in customers during Byron Station outages. “This historic winter has been tough on area businesses so the extra foot traffic will be a welcome sight,� said Debbie Dickson, executive director of the Oregon Area Chamber of Commerce. “When the temporary workers stay in
the area they spend money on gas, food, lodging and other goods. It will be an influx of commerce for our area and hopefully start a push for a busy spring season for our merchants.� Workers at Byron Station will refuel the Unit 1 reactor, perform more than 10,000 inspections and maintenance activities, and do other work that cannot be done while the unit is operating. All of the activities are designed to assure the unit’s consistent operation when online. “Our units performed well during this tough winter, providing power to residents for heat and other necessities,� said Byron Station Site Vice President Russ Kearney. “We
will safely and efficiently perform outage work that will ensure Unit 1 will operate for another 18 months and keep power flowing to the region for whatever Mother Nature has in store.� While the unit is down, residents should be aware that one of the cooling towers will not produce any water vapor cloud. This is normal when a unit is taken offline. Byron’s Unit 2 will continue to supply electricity to Exelon customers during the Unit 1 outage. With both units at full power, the site produces almost 2,500 megawatts, enough electricity for 2.3 million homes. Byron Generating Station is south of Byron on North German Church Road.

Science Siesta is April 11-12 Girls in fourth through sixth grade are invited to attend one of two Science Siesta events planned for the spring of 2014. The first Science Siesta will be Friday, April 11 and Saturday, April 12. The second Science Siesta will be Friday, April 25 and Saturday, April 26. Both of these events will be held at the Discovery Center and Burpee Natural History Museums in Rockford. These events are sponsored by University of Illinois Extension, and will combine the fun of a pajama party with hands-on science
experiences. “This is our thirteenth year of conducting Science Siesta, and we are thrilled to be able to offer two of these events this year,� said Johnna Jennings, Extension Educator for 4-H Youth Development. Science Siesta is based on the curriculum Wonderwise, developed by the University of Nebraska. Girls may choose from two workshop tracks for breakout sessions. The first track will feature an urban ecologist. The second track will be a vet detective. Both of the events will begin at 5 p.m. on Friday with
registration and conclude at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday. The registration fee is $40. This fee covers pizza, snacks, breakfast, admission to the Discovery Center Museum and Burpee Museum of Natural History, and many fun activities. For additional information, or to register, go to the University of Illinois Extension website for Boone, DeKalb and Ogle Counties at http://web.extension.illinois. edu/bdo or they can call: 815758-8194. Registration is limited to the first 160 girls for each event.
Bald eagles reported in record numbers this year A record-setting number of American bald eagles was reported during the annual Illinois Midwinter Bald Eagle Survey coordinated by the Illinois Audubon Society. Volunteers tallied 5,975 birds between the dates of Jan. 1 and Jan. 15. Extremely cold temperatures in northern parts
of Minnesota and Wisconsin caused a surge in the numbers of over-wintering birds along the Illinois waterways. Survey routes are located on the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers with additional routes on the Ohio and Wabash Rivers, Crab Orchard Lake, Horseshoe Lake Conservation Area, and Carlyle Lake.
According to Tom Clay, the Society’s Executive Director, “Our 2014 survey surpassed 2013 (2,325 total) and topped the highest recorded count (since 1992) of 4,292 reported in 2008.� The largest populations of the eagles spotted were counted along the Mississippi River (93.6 percent of the
overall total), followed by 4.4 percent observed on the Illinois River and 2 percent sighted on the remaining routes. The number of adults versus immature eagles reported on these surveys, an important indicator of recovery and survival, remains at 60 percent and 40 percent, respectively.
Nationally, this effort is administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The goal of the survey is to maintain the long-term, national coordination of the surveys collected, analysis of that data, and reporting of the results. Locally, survey data
collected provides information on eagle trends, distribution and habitat and helps create public interest in bald eagles and their conservation. Information regarding the 2014 survey and previous years’ data can be obtained by calling the Illinois Audubon Society at 217-544-2473.
New legislation may change renewal sticker rules Legislation proposed by Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White to allow a printed receipt from the Secretary of State to serve temporarily as the vehicle renewal sticker was approved by the State Senate. Senate Bill 2802 would allow motorists to drive without an up-to-date vehicle
renewal sticker affixed to their license plate provided they have a receipt from the Secretary of State that proves they purchased a sticker online before expiration, but have not yet received the registration sticker. The receipt is valid for no more than 30 days from the expiration of the previous
registration’s sticker’s date. “This is another consumer friendly initiative that encourages online transactions with my office,� said White. “Our Driver Services facilities have many customers come in to buy their stickers a day or two before they are set to expire.
“This bill will allow such customers to make the same purchase online, and then use the receipt as proof of up-to-date registration compliance.� Last year, more than 150,000 customers purchased vehicle renewal registration stickers during the last two days in May.
The vast majority of customers visited a facility to conduct these transactions; just over 6,300 people purchased their renewal stickers online. White’s office has continually worked to provide more services online to further improve customer convenience. Over the last six
