Students shine in talent show By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com
The musicians at Forrestville Valley were demonstrating their skills Saturday night during the annual talent show. Jackson VanBrocklin started off the evening setting up the sound system for the Forrestville’s Got Talent. He then started off the show as the first performer. “My performance tonight was only 30 percent of my stress,” VanBrocklin said. “I thought my performance went well.” He only had a few moments to relax as he had to make his way back to the sound equipment to run the show. Depending on the instruments being used, VanBrocklin had to make several subtle changes to the equipment throughout the The annual Forrestville’s Got Talent show was held Saturday night. Above, Forreston High School freshman Dan show. “The system is complicated Watter drums to the song “God’s Not Dead” by Christian rock band Newsboys.

had an entire night of work.” Overall the sound system worked as he planned. There were only some minor issues which were almost instantly corrected. Having the quality sound system allowed the performers on stage to shine. Freshman Dan Watter, showcased his sticks on the drum set. He twirled his sticks and tossed them throughout the performance of Newsboys “God’s Not Dead.” “Newsboys drummer Duncan Phillips does a lot of cool stuff and I decided to play this Christian song tonight,” said Watter. “The band is coming to Rockford and I sent them an email to see if I could play a song with them.” The audience appreciated the drumming talents Watter displayed. “I liked performing tonight,” Watter said. Songs in the first act were part of the competition showcase. The solo and duo performances were judged and the favorite act was selected based on dollar votes during the intermission.

New book details Oregon’s art legacy By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com An Oregon woman who set out in 2013 to make a list of art works ended up writing a detailed history of art in her community and its impact. “The goal was to do a catalog of the art in the gallery [at the Oregon Public Library],” said Beth Simeone. “That’s all it was supposed to be.” Once she started her research for the library on the art works and artists, though,
it soon became apparent the project could not stop there. “I soon realized the story was far more,” Simeone said. “The initial catalog grew into a broader survey of art and its influence in this community.” The result of 3 years of painstaking research is “The Art of Oregon,” a 180-page book filled with information and colorful illustrations, reaching back to Margaret Fuller’s visit to Oregon in 1843 to the formation of the Eagle’s Nest Art Colony in 1892 to the creation of the iconic Black Hawk Statue in

1910-11. Photographs for the book were taken by Bob Logsdon, and the design was done by Colleen Logsdon. “It’s about telling the story that’s in this town,” Simeone said. “It’s right in front of us, and it’s authentic.” Simeone’s research has revealed information either unknown or long forgotten about Oregon’s artistic legacy and the artists themselves. One section of the book focuses on John Prasuhn, the young German sculptor and engineer who built the Black

Hawk statue envisioned by sculptor Lorado Taft. Included are letters Prasuhn wrote to his brother and sister in 1946 while he was making repairs on the statue. The more Simeone uncovered, the more she became concerned that the history easily could be lost for good. “Soon it became clear that the art story of Oregon was much broader than the 1918 Eagle’s Nest Art Collection in the Oregon library gallery

Residents impacted by last year’s tornado turned out Saturday to remember the day, the recovery efforts, and to thank everyone who helped out. Homeowner Reuben Capen was one of the residents directly impacted by the storm. His home on Fowler Road by the Cherry Hill subdivision northwest of Rochelle was destroyed by the April 9, 2015 EF4 tornado. Capen and his wife Lilly were not home when the storm leveled their home. “We were in Rockford with family while it happened,” he said. “We received a call to let us know the house was gone. The couple lived in the home for 46 years and in an instant it was gone. However, the memories they have of the home were spared. “I thank God that we recovered 85 percent of what money can’t buy,” said Capen. “Volunteers found old photo albums and other items. A refrigerator can be replaced.” Some of his wife’s instruments were also recovered, but the owner of a riding lawnmower that dropped on the property was not identified. Knowing memories are
important to the family, Capen and his daughter started a scrapbook of the tornado cleanup. This scrapbook contained photos of the home before the storm and had a day by day account through the rebuilding of the home. He brought it to the community event at Rochelle Township High School April 9 to share his story of the tornado. “My brother helped out with the rebuilding,” said Capen. “He works at Anderson Plumbing and Heating in Rochelle. With his help and all the volunteers we were able to clear everything from the property.” Less than a week after the storm, plans to build a new home on the property were underway. Capen credits all the volunteers for the quick recovery. “We built the home on a different part of the property which allowed us to get moved in only 40 days after the storm,” he said. “Without the volunteers we would not have gotten the property cleaned.” In the months following the storm, Capen was amazed by the generosity of strangers. He received cancelled checks that were swept away by the storm. Some were found in Wisconsin. “This lady that I did not know sent us the checks and

New art book was written From A1 and that it must be told before the connecting threads disappeared,” she said. Simeone was impressed when she saw the dedicated community work, volunteerism and economic development “before they knew the word” that was done by early Oregon residents to promote the city as a destination. The back cover depicts a poster calling Oregon “an inimitable summer resort.” The promotion was developed by Oregon citizens working with the Burlington Railroad, Rand McNally Map Co. and the Palmer House in Chicago. “A lot of people volunteered and were community-minded way back,” Simeone said. “They wanted to give back to the community. They wanted things to be better.” That effort led to the migration, she said, of Wallace and Tillie Heckman, founders of the Eagle’s Nest Art Colony, Frank O. and
Florence (Pullman) Lowden, Taft, and many others in the 1890s. “It is a stunning economic development timeline that took place before the automobile,” she said. “The Heckmans and Lowdens put down roots here. Hundreds of people came with them. It changed the town.” Simeone also learned that many of the artists who came to Oregon and donated their work to the community were from rural Midwestern backgrounds, and born around the time of the Civil War. A segment of the book titled “Cabbage Patch Odyssey” relates the theft of a valuable painting from the gallery. “The Cabbage Patch” by William Wendt was discovered missing in May 1991. Thieves had removed the painting from its frame, left that behind on the floor, and took the canvas. It was anonymously returned by mail in 1994 and again hangs in the gallery, back it in its original frame.
A California art dealer admitted to having the painting and sending it back to Oregon. Although doing the research was timeconsuming and became “like a full-time job,” the project came naturally to Simeone. “I’ve always been interested in the history of Oregon and how this town evolved,” she said. Growing up, she wanted to be an archaeologist, and enjoyed uncovering the information bit by bit, she said. “I’ve so enjoyed doing the research and writing this book. It’s like finding clues and how they relate and putting these things together. It’s satisfying to solve a mystery.” Her research was so successful that she has enough material for a second book. In recent weeks, Simeone has been putting together PowerPoint presentations for various community groups, she said. “That’s been fun, too.”

included money to help with the rebuilding,” said Capen. “People have been generous and they all wanted to help.” Throughout the community event, stories were being shared about the tornado and the community came together to remember. Tilton Elementary School teacher Nan Elson, was helping to oversee artwork being created by anyone who wanted to contribute a square to the project. “We decided to do a collaborative artwork piece to remember the tornado,” said Elson. “We made some at Tilton School and have the one being made today by the community.”

She said this would be a way for the community to take part in the art. “All of our students either lost a home, had a damaged home, or had a friend who lost a home,” said Elson. The completed piece of art will be saved and Elson said the school is looking at ways to preserve the piece. Sheriff Brian VanVickle also attended the event. “Today was a day to get together to thank everyone who was part of the recovery,” said VanVickle. “There was a lot of support from the community.” VanVickle’s home was also destroyed by the tornado.

We had to live in a rentle house for a little while but we had fun times too because are family supported us and helped us and we will never forget all those people who helped us and we will never forget the tornado but so many people were safe. WE ARE SAFE

Drop off old medications April 30 Local law enforcement departments, along with the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department and Project LEAD (Leaders Encouraging Abstinence from Drugs), are hosting a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Drug Take-Back Day on Saturday, April 30, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The national event aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of Chris Benda will be the featured speaker at the Prairie disposing prescription and Preservation Society banquet on May 1 at Lorado Taft over-the-counter (OTC) Field Campus. Photo supplied. drugs, while also educating the general public about the importance of properly disposing of medicines.
Botanist will be at annual banquet The Prairie Preservation Society will host its annual banquet on Sunday, May 1 at the Lorado Taft Field Campus, Oregon. Chris Benda, botanist and President of the Illinois Native Society, will give the program and show slides on Illinois’ unique natural areas and plants found in them. Emphasis will be on rare plants, but the program will also include photos of animals. The program will highlight eight of the 14 natural divisions in Illinois. Each natural division is unique and is characterized by the
plants that grow there. One of the natural divisions featured during the program will be the Rock River Hills Section, which includes Nachusa Grasslands, Pine Rock, and the George Fell Nature Preserve. Tickets are $25 each; children under 12 are half price. Books and native plants will be sold; a silent auction will also be held. It is open to members and to the general public. For more information on the program, or to donate to the auction, email lin.vogl@ gmail.com or phone 815973-4926.
Drop off locations include: Forreston Police Department 102 S. Walnut, Forreston, 815-938-2400 Mt. Morris Police Department 105 W. Lincoln St., Mt. Morris, 815-734-4132 Ogle County Sheriff and
Polo Police Department 116 S. Franklin St., Polo, 815-946-3412 Rochelle Police Department 416 N. 6th St., Rochelle, 815-561-2131. Participants must abide by the following guidelines: Waste medicine is accepted from residential households only. Prescriptions, OTC medicine, vitamins, cough syrup, supplements, and pet medications are accepted. Residents should remove pills from bottles and place them in a zip plastic bag. Pill bottles can be recycled through residential recycling programs. Remember to remove prescription labels or black out any personal information. Items which are not accepted include hypodermic needles (sharps),
thermometers, hydrogen peroxide, aerosol cans, inhalers, and medicines from business or clinics. There are two main initiatives behind the Drug Take-Back Day. One is to eliminate water contamination. Disposal of waste medications down the drain or toilet is undesirable because septic systems and facilities that treat wastewater may not be able to remove pollutants. Disposal of medications in a landfill is also undesirable because chemicals can end up in the landfill leachate (water that comes into contact with the trash). Pollution of treated wastewater can contaminate groundwater and surface water and can have adverse effects on fish and other aquatic life. It can also cause unintentional human exposure to chemicals from medications. The other initiative is to prevent abuse of medications. Often the easiest drugs to access are already in our
homes. The presumed safety of prescription and OTC drugs can often lead to devastating impacts as these substances are dangerous or deadly when misused. With drug overdose being the leading cause of accidental death and with alarming rates of prescription/OTC drug abuse, it is important to lock up or safely dispose of unneeded medications. While the DEA Take-Back day on April 30 is a one-day event, residents can safely dispose of medications year round during business hours at the following police departments: Byron, Forreston, Mt. Morris, Oregon, Polo, Rochelle, and the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department. Contact local law enforcement agency for more details. For more information call: Ogle County Sheriff’s Department, 815-732-6666; Ogle County Solid Waste Management, 815-7324020; Project LEAD, 815284-7796, ext. 2315; or visit www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov

Oregon Library News Celebrate National Library Week April 10-16 As part of the National Library Week celebration, Oregon Public Library cardholders may enter a book drawing for reading material checked out April 10 through April 23. A drawing will be held April 25. Come by the library to find out how. Oregon Public Library joins libraries in schools, campuses and communities nationwide in celebrating the dynamic changes that are happening in today’s libraries. The current renovations and installation of an elevator will enhance the services that are provided to patrons. More programs and programs will be available for readers of all ages. First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country. The week is a time to highlight the changing role of libraries, librarians and library workers. Libraries today are more about what they do, for and with library users as opposed to what they have for patrons. Libraries aren’t only a place of quiet study, but
also creative and engaging community centers where people can collaborate using new technologies or just relax. Libraries help to ensure the American dream and promote democracy by providing service to all regardless of race, ethnicity, creed, age, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity or socio-economic status. Libraries of all types are evolving to meet the needs of the communities they serve. 2016 Summer Reading Program Bookmark Contest The 2016 summer reading program theme is Read for the Win! Students in grades K-12 have created some wonderful bookmarks. All entries are on display at the library now, In May, bookmarks will be selected and duplicated to be distributed during the 2016 Summer Reading Program. Stop by the Library and take a look at more than 200 entries.

Cooks find the larger format allows them to have a hands-free approach with their cookbooks. Exercisers realize a better balance between the pace of their steps and the words in front of them with large print.

Man arrested following chase By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com A Rockford man remains in jail following a car chase last week. Ogle County Sheriff Deputies attempted to stop a grey 1998 Mercury in the 5000 block of North River Road, Byron, for a moving violation April 8 at 2:20 p.m.. Driver Tyrell Taylor, 28, fled from the scene. He led deputies on a chase on several rural roads before returning north on River Road. “The decision to pursue is based on several circumstances,” said Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle. “We determined it was safe to continue this pursuit.” Throughout the pursuit deputies relayed traffic information to ensure a safe pursuit, VanVickle said. The Byron Police Department deployed stop sticks at the intersection of River Road and German Church Roads. Taylor’s vehicle struck the stop sticks and became inoperable. His vehicle came to rest in the south east ditch
of that intersection. Taylor then fled on foot. Deputies continued the chase and Deputy Michael Halfman took Taylor into custody in the 7000 block of German Church Road, Byron. “The suspect was arrested without injury to other motorists,” VanVickle said. Taylor was charged with 19 traffic violations including driving on a revoked license, aggravated fleeing and eluding, leaving the scene of an accident, and reckless driving. He was transported to The former building of SwedishAmerican’s clinic in Byron was torn down on April 7.

The Byron Police Department and Byron Fire Department responded to the 100 block of South Union, near the Mobil gas station, for the report of a car versus pedestrian on March 29 at approximately 3:46 p.m. A 13 year-old male was found to have been struck by a car traveling northbound. The juvenile was transported by Byron Ambulance to Swedish American Hospital for injuries sustained. It was determined by investigating officers that the juvenile was running from the area of Snyder’s parking lot to the area of the Mobil parking lot. He ran across the Union
Street between stopped cars in the northbound turn lane and was then struck by a northbound car. The driver of the car was found not to be at fault. The Byron Police Department reminds parents to talk with their children about the importance of how to safely cross a street as a pedestrian or bicyclist. Pedestrians are ultimately responsible for their own safety. Even though a car poses a much greater threat to a pedestrian than a pedestrian does to a car, pedestrians still need to make good choices about walking to avoid

Byron Police Department responds to car versus pedestrian accident conflicts with vehicles. Pedestrians are reminded not to jump out in front of cars or enter the roadway between stopped or parked cars, where they are less visible to oncoming drivers. Always cross the street at an intersection using a cross walk when the light is green or when the pedestrian “WALK” signal is lit. Pedestrian Safety Guidelines Use sidewalks where provided. Cross or enter streets where it is legal to do so. Make it easy for drivers to see you, dress in light colors and wear reflective materials.
if walking at night use an illumination device. Make eye contact with drivers before crossing to be sure they see you. Use extra caution when crossing multiple lane, higher speed streets. Cross at marked crosswalks or intersections. Pedestrians are most often hit by cars when they cross the road at places other than intersections. Look Left, Right and Left for traffic. Stop at the curb and look left, right and left again for traffic. Stopping at the curb will alert drivers of pedestrians crossing the street. Always obey traffic signals.
At intersections where traffic is controlled by signals or a police officer, pedestrians must obey the signal. The should not cross against the stop signal unless specifically directed to do so by a police officer. If a car is parked where you are crossing make sure there is no driver in the car. Then go to the edge of the car and look left, right, left until no cars are coming. Keep looking for cars while you are crossing. Be alert, especially at right turn on red intersections. Traffic Signals, Walklights, and Crossings Pedestrians must yield
the right-of-way to drivers by obeying traffic signals, observing walk lights and using crosswalks. The pedestrian signals are: Walk (constantly lighted): Pedestrians facing the signal may cross the roadway in the direction of the signal. Don’t Walk (Flashing): Pedestrians may not start entering the roadway. Any pedestrian who has partly completed his cross during the constantly lighted WALK may continue to a sidewalk or safety island. Don’t Walk (constantly lighted): Pedestrians may not enter the roadway.

Why Bernie’s doing well Dear Editor, Bernie Sanders? He has very little backing from big banks and the corporate world. Why has he done so well? The following statistics may explain why. Among the 34 wealthy nation members of OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development), the U.S. ranks 31st, very near the bottom, in equal distribution of wealth. In 2010 the bottom 80 percent of U.S. citizens owned only 4.7 percent of financial wealth (excluding homes). We are the only OECD nation that does not provide medical care for everyone. Yet we have 42 percent of the world’s millionaires and 49 percent of those worth 50 million or more. The combined retirement packages of 100 US CEOs are equal to the combined retirement benefits and savings of 129 million retirees (Center for Effective Government and the Institute for Policy Studies). Yet conservatives want to cut Social Security benefits and raise the eligibility age. In 2011 there were 33 jobs, including food service workers, that paid 22 thousand or less annually. Imagine paying for health and dental care, and sending the kids to college on those incomes. Those low paying jobs have to be filled by someone; unless, for example, we would rather wash our own dishes at the restaurant and clean our own rooms at the hotel. The “trickle down” effect of Reaganomics has never really happened. Instead of sharing profits, big corporations controlled the government through lobbyists, dodged taxes with off-shore tax havens, and rewarded management with stocks and tax-free merit pay. Bernie Sanders is saying that government must allow business the freedom to prosper, but it must also see that their prosperity is shared. Millions of voters seem to be agreeing. Delmar Lohr Forreston
Source of Water: POLO Based on information obtained in a Well Site Survey published in 1994 by the Illinois EPA, several potential sources are located within 1,500 feet of the wells.The Illinois EPA has determined that the Polo Community Water Supply's source water is not suspectibile to contamination. This determination is based on a number of criteria including; monitoring conducted at the wells; monitoring conducted at the entry point to the distribution system; and available hydrogeologic data on the wells.Furthermore, in anticipation of the U.S. EPA's proposed Ground Water Rule, the Illinois EPA has determined that the Polo Community Water Supply is not vulnerable to viral contamination. This determination is based upon the evaluation of the following criteria during the Vulnerability Waiver Process: the community's wells are properly constructed with sound integrity and proper siting conditions; a hydraulic barrier exists which should prevent pathogen movement; all potential routes and sanitary defects have been mitigated such that the source water is adequately protected; monitoring data did not indicate a history of disease outbreak; and the sanitary survey of the water supply did not indicate a viral contamination threat. Because the community's wells are constructed in a confined aquifer, which should prevent the movement of pathogens into the wells, well hydraulics were not considered to be a significant factor in the susceptibility determination. Hence, well hydraulics were not evaluated for this system ground water supply.

Rock River. The possible contamination of the groundwater could affect the well water quality for anyone living near this facility as some of these wells are very old. I grew up on the farm located directly across from this proposed business. On our family’s property we are enjoying beaver colonies. Their interactions in the wetlands help preserve and promote the ecosystem. This needs to be protected. Fifty- five out of 65 of the closest neighbors don’t want this permit to be issued. That’s about 85 percent against it. If this permit were to be denied, the applicant will be able to put their business on a more suitable piece of property with no objections, the seller will still be able to sell his property, as there are other interested buyers, and the nature of the wetlands will be protected. I would encourage anyone who agrees that this special use permit should not be issued to contact the Ogle County Board members to voice their concern. This application will be voted on April 19, and it really needs to be voted down. Visit the county’s user friendly website at www. oglecounty.org for a list of board members and a transcript of the Zoning Board of Appeals March minutes. Respectfully submitted, Wendie Huber Dixon

Woman’s vision leads to planning for Mt. Morris By Pam Eggemeier peggemeier@sauk valley.com A vision for the downtown to become an arts destination point came into focus during a three-day conference that wrapped up April 9 at Pinecrest Grove Community Center, Mt. Morris. The third session drew about 80 people who participated in smaller action planning sessions. Each group made presentations that included timelines, and who would be accountable for carrying out the plans. The vision of the arts fueling downtown revitalization and growth belongs to a former Mt. Morris resident. Artist Andria Thorngren Burchett, Geneva, has been a longtime believer in the potential of the Mt. Morris
College campus. The buildings would become a rural artists retreat with studios, galleries, renowned guest instructors, and space for the visual and performing arts. A flourishing arts community would need the support of new businesses, from restaurants and brew pubs to bed and breakfasts and gift shops. Andria visits her hometown often, to see her 94-year-old father, and the vision continues to grow. “She’s had this dream for 10 years now, that the old campus can be revitalized as an arts center,” her husband Steve Burchett said. “She believes this can be the core for driving economic development.” Andria has made a believer of the village’s Economic Development Group, and she has been working closely

with City Clerk Paula Diehl to make the vision a reality. The village had been planning the conference since November. “This was an ambitious undertaking because this project was launched with just volunteers,” said Rob Urish, chairman of the Economic Development Group. “We tried to put together diverse skill sets, and we’ve assembled a group of quality people.” The serendipitous gathering of volunteer talent almost seems to have given the village’s planned marriage of the arts and business a stamp of approval. It all started with one of Andria’s art students at Beech Tree Studio in Geneva. Larry Maholland, a longtime city administrator in St. Charles, was taking pencil courses at the studio. He retired from city government in 2005, and is now a management consultant with Sikich. “Andie told me about her vision, and how she was thinking of doing the meetings,” Maholland said. “I said I’d help if she needed someone because it would get me back into what I love doing.” Maholland, who had never even been to Mt. Morris prior to the meetings, used his connections to bring in more city planning brainpower. Former city managers and administrators from suburbia, including Arlington Heights and Elgin, and planners from academia have volunteered their services. Gary Ernst, retired after a quarter-century on the faculty at North Central College, Naperville, is an emeritus professor of international business and marketing. He has no ties to Mt. Morris, but made the trip

from Naperville all three days of the conference. The overwhelming volunteer response, just to the conference, has already saved the village tens of thousands of dollars in consulting fees. The movement’s leaders say there could be other
dividends to be reaped by utilizing volunteers. “Sometimes money and being on the clock can get in the way of the free flow of ideas,” Maholland said. “The energy in the room and level of involvement was exciting,” Diehl said. “I think having a mix of people
within and outside the community allows us to look at things with new eyes.” The most immediate goal from the planning session is to set up the Encore Forward committee that will provide leadership and oversight to the efforts of the various groups.

Polo fourth at 11-team meet in Oregon By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com It was a case of the sum of the parts being superior to individual star power, as Oregon’s boys track and field team won the 11-team Gebhardt-Worley Invitational on April 9. In the closest finish in the 40-year history of the meet, the Hawks scored 93 points to edge Erie-Prophetstown and Dixon, who tied for second with 92. Polo-Forreston was next with 81 and Rockford Christian had 74 in one of the best fields the meet has seen in decades. Oregon trailed E-P and Dixon going into the final event of the meet and had only one first place up to that point compared to the four each for E-P, Dixon and P-F. Fittingly, it was a balanced 1,600-meter relay of Carson Buck, Mitchell Nehrkorn, Caleb Mennen, and Andrew Newman that won that final event. “It was great the way they gutted it out,” Oregon coach Jim Spratt said. Dixon took a 15-meter lead of on the first leg, but Nehrkorn chased down Nate Gascoigne on lap two and handed off to Mennen a stride behind the Dukes. Kandras Martin barely held off Mennen and gave Jared Harrison a 5-meter lead going into the anchor. But, it was Newman, younger brother of Garrett Newman, who anchored Oregon to a 1,600 relay state title in 2013, who outkicked Harrison on the last straightaway for a 3:36 to 3:39 win. “That race exemplified how we performed today,” Spratt said. “We had good positioning and different people scoring everywhere.” E-P needed only third place to win the meet, but Lena-Winslow nipped them 3:39 to 3:40. P-F, which has designs on a state title in the 1,600 relay, was close behind at 3:41. “Last year, we ran a 3:45 at this time of year and ended up running 3:25 downstate,” P-F coach Ryan Deets said. “In such
a competitive meet as this, these were some great times.” The 3:36 by Oregon ranks near the top of 1A DyeStatIL rankings and one of many standout performances on a chilly day at LandersLoomis Field. “This meet keeps getting better and better,” said Spratt. “For this early in the year, you’re seeing some of the best track in this part of the state.” In the showcase events of the meet, it was returning 2A state placers Dylan Binion of E-P and sophomore sensation Deion McShane of Freeport going at it in the hurdles. In a near repeat of the state meet in which he took fourth and McShane fifth the 110 highs, Binion won again, this time by a 15.2515.53 margin. “He got out on me and we were side-by-side until he hit a hurdle,” Binion said. “That allowed me to get ahead.” In the 300 intermediates, McShane, who ran a Polo’s Ethan Cain tries to clear the pole vault bar during the 40th Annual Gebhardt Worley Invitational on April 9. blistering 37.43 as state Photo by Earleen Hinton runner-up, easily bested out another Duke, running Binion by nearly two 23.49 to edge Sullivan by seconds. .10, with Wilson of Oregon “He’s great competition.

Another key pointmaker was the 400 with Buck and Nehrkorn going 2-4, sandwiched around freshman Cailean Davis of P-F.. The difference for us today was there were very few events that we didn’t pile up points in,” Spratt said. “I like this team and am excited about the rest of the season.”

held. That may have been added incentive for meet officials on the bubble to cancel it. If a coach thinks it may be harmful for his or her athletes to compete in the cold, indeed that is their business and as Jerbi says, they should not be judged on it. However, the kids scheduled to compete at Mendota and Kaneland lost out on a wonderful opportunity to challenge themselves. That’s not an opinion either. It’s a fact-based comment after seeing tremendous competition from 11:30 am to nearly 6:00 pm at Landers-
Loomis Field on Saturday in 40-degree weather by the full contingent of all 19 schools entered.
Polo-Forreston girls finished fourth at home meet
Sports Column Athletes hungry to compete By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com
The Polo-Forreston track team was hungry for a meet and thankfully for them and several other teams at Saturday’s Gebhardt-Worley Invitational, Oregon athletic director Mike Lawton delivered. “I’m extremely happy to be here and so are our kids,” Polo-Forreston coach Ryan Deets said. “They’re disappointed any time a meet is cancelled.” In the face of near freezing temperatures and other area track meets being cancelled, such as invitationals at Kaneland and Mendota, Lawton stood up and did what was right and held an outdoor sports event in chilly conditions. Rockford Christian coach Randy Moore was even more effusive in his praise of how the situation was handled. “Kudos to Oregon for being who they are,” Moore said. “They’ve always been always been the leader in hosting meets and not backing down because of weather.” Moore is concerned that administrators too often call events off because of the perceived discomfort it would cause young athletes.
“Kids need adversity to build character,” Moore said. “We rob them of this experience when we decides athletic contests are going to be cancelled because it is too cold, too hot, too windy or too wet.” I agree 100 percent with coach Moore about how misguided we’ve become in attempting to shield our youth from any sort of difficulty. Is it any wonder that employers complain about the work ethic of the younger generation? Sadly, I recall a conversation with a BNC cross-country coach who cited liability concerns when a meet was cancelled because of the heat. What if a kid passes out and we could get sued, he posed. We are worst than past generations in how we handle pain. Society tells us to avoid at all costs (safety measures, over-medication, security, inactivity, litigation) or seek out only experiences that give us pleasure. Greedy lawyers and their unending stream of lawsuits, the ‘blow everything out of proportion’ media and insurance company constraints have served only to create a culture of fear. Yes, we may endure suffering taking risks, but it is from that pain and suffering where growth is found, via perseverance, character and endurance. A
wise person once said that pain is the touchstone of spiritual growth. Amen to that. As a high schooler, Moore still has fond memories of competing at the Hawk Classic in 1994 in the snow. “We still ran and I loved it,” Moore said. “When I was at Augie, we shoveled snow off the track to have a meet.” Another factor in all this was Lawton’s willingness to sacrifice his own time and comfort for the sake of others. It would have been much easier for him to cancel the meet and stay home with his family and maybe watch reruns of old Northwestern football games in the warmth of a living room. “We’re fortunate to have someone like Mike here who has such a passion for his job,” Oregon superintendent Tom Mahoney said. When area schools cancel sporting events, sometimes the motives are questionable. Was it because an administrator or coach didn’t want to mess with it and cold weather is an easy excuse to call it off? Genoa-Kingston athletic director Phil Jerbi joined the conversation with Moore and myself and cautioned that it isn’t as simple as it seems. “As an administrator, it is a big burden to bear,” said Jerbi, who like Lawton is very dedicated to his job. “It can be a crapshoot with
weather forecasts, winter travel, distances and field conditions.” This year, G-K chose not to play a basketball tournament game because of road conditions. Winnebago did the same at the DeKalb tourney and received a forfeit. “Ultimately, you do what is best for the kids,” Jerbi said. “If a team doesn’t come, you can’t judge them. It works both ways” Coincidentally, because of the perceived cold conditions, four of the 12 track teams entered at the meet in Mendota had indicated they would not be coming if the meet were

Jim attended Notre Dame University for one year where he was a member of Alpha Tau Omega (ATO) fraternity. Jim then transferred to Monmouth College where he played football and was very active in Greek life. Feeling the need to defend his country, Jim enlisted in the Navy and trained in San Diego, California. He was assigned to a destroyer escort where he served for more than four years. His destroyer escort was the main electrical supply for a fighting Marine force, and his ship took fire multiple times from enemies in the high mountains of Korea.

To support his growing family Jim worked on the Nike Missile as a military contractor before returning to UC-Boulder earning his master’s degree in Electrical Engineering. Jim worked for Western Electric now known as Lucent Industries in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. There he was offered the rare opportunity to further his training in the Shetland Islands, but chose to remain
County Record with his family. He joined General Electric in Massachusetts, later Henderson, North Carolina, and finally to his home state in Bloomington, Illinois and finished his career in engineering. Jim was married to Melinda Cameron Fox on Nov. 10, 1956 and was married for 37 years prior to her passing. After retirement, Jim moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, and put his business training into action, co-founding a residential cleaning business, MaidsIn-Waiting with his wife and partner Melinda. Jim retired from his second career in 1998. Jim was a very talented musician, participating in two Highland pipe bands, the Morton Highlanders Pipe Band in Peoria, and the NC State Pipes and Drums in Raleigh, North Carolina, for more than 25 years. Jim and Melinda immersed themselves in their Scottish heritage, often traveling to Scotland and the Chief of Clan Cameron. They were active and served as officers in Clan Shaw, Clan Cameron, and other Scottish organizations. Jim was a member of the St. Andrews Society of North Carolina, twice serving on the board of directors. He was a lifetime member of VFW post 7383 in Cary, North Carolina, and served six years as chaplain. He was also an active member of the Cary American Legion Post 67. Jim served as a volunteer at Church of the Good Shepherd Soup Kitchen for more than 25 years and served as the Tuesday afternoon volunteer for many years. Jim was also an active volunteer for Meals on Wheels in Raleigh, North Carolina. Jim is survived by Martha Anne Roberts, whom he married on June 10, 2000.
He is also survived by his children, Melinda Shaw (Kenneth) Gleason, Verona, Wisconsin., Patrick Cameron (Martha) Samsel, Lansing, Michigan; his grandchildren, Cameron (CJ), Elizabeth (fiancé Jarrod Brooks) and Ian Samsel, all of Lansing, Michigan; as well as two beloved great- grandsons Zachary and Justin.

Public Voice From A8
Floski disputes teachers union Dear Editor, The Byron teacher’s union recently made several false statements, and the Byron Board of Education would like to correct the record: - The union claims the BOE “underfunds” education spending. The BOE has increased the amount spent on instruction (teacher salaries, benefits, etc.) by 16 percent in the last five years – from $7,765 per pupil to $8,983 per pupil. - The union criticized the district for spending “only” 60 percent of funds on “education.” Byron
spends $18.455 million on “education;” Winnebago spends $12.305 million; Oregon spends $12.275 million; Meridian spends $12.266 million; North Boone spends $11,723 million. (Byron ranks 76th out of Illinois’ 859 Districts in education spending.) Of the 45 Community Unit School Districts in Ogle, Lee, Winnebago, Boone, McHenry, DeKalb, Kane and Kendall counties, Byron teachers are the secondhighest paid. Other than Batavia, only Chicagoland’s wealthy suburbs pay higher teacher salaries. - The BOE never received a “lower bid” to demolish the former middle school; the BOE received one bid and it
was accepted. - Three judges reviewed the dismissal of former superintendent Margaret Fostiak; none indicated in any way that Ms. Fostiak was “improperly” dismissed. - The school district never loaned the Byron Park District $500,000 (nor any amount); therefore, the union claim that the BOE “forgave” the loan is nonsense. Under Dr. James Hammack’s leadership, the district’s budget is balanced, test scores are up (ACT scores are at a 13-year high), class size remains small and teacher compensation is generous. It is disheartening that the teacher’s union – as they seek higher wages - feels the need to make false statements.
In the debate over how communities will educate students during financially challenging times, it is crucial that all parties provide accurate information. (Source for all financial data: Illinois Report Card) Thank you, Doug Floski President Byron Board of Education
Organizer thanks sponsors Dear Editor, As the Event Coordinator for the Oregon Park District I would like to thank the generous sponsors of our special events. Many of our special events,
such as the Easter Egg Hunt and Flashlight Egg Hunt are free to the community. We simply would not be able to host such wonderful events for youth in our community without the help of our local businesses. I can’t find the words to express my gratitude for the businesses that support the Oregon Park District. In this economy with many businesses pinching their pennies it is heartwarming to know that community matters to these businesses and they are willing to give back. Sponsors for this year’s Egg Hunts are Smith & Birkholz, Snyders, Harvard State Bank, Stillman Bank, First National Bank, Midland States Bank, Subway, Pizza
Hut, and McDonald’s. The show of community support and business involvement is one reason living in Oregon, is so great, but also the show of support from people willing to volunteer. All special events require volunteers in order to make them successful. We have volunteers of all ages who are willing and excited about helping at our events. Special thanks to the 30 volunteers who gave of their time to make the 2016 Easter Egg Hunts a success. A grateful employee and citizen, Debbie Leffelman Oregon Park District Event Coordinator

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A laid-back approach to whatever challenge you face will help you avoid an emotional confrontation. Concentrate on yourself and being your very best. Choose romance over bickering. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Treat a loved one to something out of the ordinary. Sharing information and participating in something that appears to be opportunistic will pay off. Home improvements will boost your morale. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You should stay on top of your game and keep a watchful eye on anyone you think might pose a problem. The less you share, the easier it will be to accomplish your goals. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Emotions will spin out of control if you react too quickly to what someone implies. Do your research and opt to do your own thing if it will keep the peace. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Do whatever it takes to enhance your position. Use your charm to entertain the people you need by
your side. Play to win and plan a romantic celebration. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You have the expertise to turn a challenging situation around. Don’t wait when you could use your intelligence to make thing happen. Call in favors and offer incentives that are hard to refuse. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Think matters through and back away from anyone trying to push you in a direction that makes you feel insecure. Emotional manipulation should be something you want no part of. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Invest in one of your ideas that has long-term potential. A sideline business that relies on your talent, skills and passion will bring you satisfaction.
