Railroad worker dies on job site A Kentucky man died last week in a work-related incident on the Canadian Pacific railroad tracks on North Baileyville Road approximately a mile north of Forreston. James C. Campbell, 20, Prestonburg, Kentucky, was pronounced dead April 30 at the scene approximately a quarter mile west of the
railroad crossing. According to a press release from Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle, Campbell was employed by R.J. Corman Company, a private contractor working on the tracks. The press release said a piece of equipment owned by the company was being used to pick up metal railroad spikes with a large magnetic
boom arm. While the boom arm was in operation it spun out of control. The large magnetic portion of the boom arm struck the top of a four seat all-terrain vehicle, also owned by the R.J. Corman Company, which was parked nearby. The boom arm pushed the ATV over on its side.
Campbell was the driver and only occupant of the ATV. He was ejected from the ATV and suffered an injury to his head. Forreston Fire Department and Ambulance responded to the scene along with React Helicopter and the Ogle County Coroner. The accident remains under investigation.
Polo man killed in crash May 2 A Polo man was killed May 2 when the motorcycle he was driving failed to negotiate a curve. Douglas A. Weidman, 44, Polo, was pronounced dead at the scene following the 9:05 p.m. accident that occurred at the intersection of North Union and West Canada roads, north of Polo.
Ogle County Sheriff’s Deputies determined that Weidman was driving his 1994 Yamaha south on Union Road when he failed to negotiate a curve in the road. The motorcycle skidded on the roadway for approximately 60 feet before it left the roadway on the west side of Union Road.
The motorcycle continued off the roadway for approximately 190 feet before striking and snapping a utility pole on the west side of union road where the motorcycle and driver came to a rest. Police said speed was a factor in the accident. The Ogle County Sheriff’s
Office was assisted at the scene by the Polo Police department, Ogle County Coroner’s Office, and the Polo Fire and ambulance services. The accident remains under investigation, pending the results of laboratory tests. An autopsy was conducted at the Ogle County Morgue.

Forreston officials learned the loan on the wastewater treatment plant has been lowered. Village President Michael Harn told the board that he received a letter from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. “I am not sure why this happened,” said Harn. “$275,000 is being forgiven on the $2.8 million loan.” He said the IEPA provided the village an additional subsidy principal forgiveness for the project. “That’s great for us,” Harn said. The village is in the process of upgrading the
wastewater plant. Work includes a new clarifier and upgraded equipment to operate the plant. Also on Monday, the board approved the second payment on the project. The $177,463 payment on the project covers work that has been completed including the concrete for the clarifier. Harn said the drying building needs to have some walls and trusses replaced and he is waiting on the contractor to provide cost estimates before asking the board to approve the work. “They do not know a cost but are supposed to work out a number,” said Harn. “We will discuss it.” In other business, trustees Mark Metzger and Gary Buss were sworn in for another term in the position.
Officials meet to discuss quality of tornado response By Vinde Wells Editor Ogle County’s emergency crews drew praise from a state official for their response last month when an EF4 tornado destroyed an estimated 40 homes and damaged nearly 180 structures. “Ogle County first responders are very professional and dedicated to public safety,” said Brian Brackemyer, coordinator for Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) Region 2, which includes 17 counties in northwest Illinois. Region 2 is headquartered in Dixon, and Brackemyer was on the scene April 9 after the tornado swept through two subdivisions west of Rochelle, where most of the destroyed homes were located. “Everyone was very professional and concerned about the general public,” he said. The tornado, a half-mile wide at times, stayed on the ground for an estimated 39 miles, according to the National Weather Service. It first touched down in a field just west of Franklin Grove and moved in a northeasterly direction, damaging Crest Foods outside of Ashton before moving into Ogle County just after 6:30 p.m. Grubsteakers Restaurant at the intersection of Ill. 64 and 251 and nearby farms and homes were destroyed by the twister as it continued on its path to Fairdale, a tiny village on Ill. 72 just over the DeKalb County line.

“Ogle County first responders are very professional and dedicated to public safety—” Brian Brackemyer IEMA Region 2 Coordinator Two women died there in their homes, and many of the 50 homes and structures in the village were flattened. The tornado also damaged structures in Boone and McHenry Counties. Brackemyer and other Region 2 officials held an evaluation Monday to determine how well the Ogle County Emergency Management Agency (OCEMA) and other agencies handled the rescue and recovery operations after the storm. Representatives of Ogle County police and fire departments, as well as county officials were invited to the evaluation, held at Rochelle Township High School. The response was evaluated on 10 points, each of which included several target items. Those attending were encouraged to weigh in with their assessments of what was done well and what needs to be improved. Each target item was graded P for performance without challenges, the highest rating; S for performance with some challenges; M for performance with major challenges; and U for unable Turn to A7

Post office food drive is scheduled for Saturday On Saturday, May 9, Forreston residents are asked to help Stamp Out Hunger. The National Association of Letter Carriers, United States Postal Service, Feeding America and other partners are sponsoring a food drive. “We’re proud to support this food drive,� said Postmaster Pamela Bardell. “We’re asking residents for their support to help make this another successful year. It’s easy to make a donation: simply leave a bag of nonperishable food items by the mailbox to help your neighbors in need.� To participate in the annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive residents are encouraged to leave a sturdy bag containing nonperishable food items such as canned soup, canned vegetables, peanut butter, pasta, rice or cereal next
prior to the time of regular mail delivery. Letter carriers will collect these food donations as they deliver the mail and take them to local food banks. The annual food drive has grown into a national effort that provides assistance to the millions of Americans struggling to put food on the table. The Stamp Out Hunger food drive, held on the second Saturday in May, has become the nation’s largest single-day food drive. In 2014, generous Americans donated 72.5 million pounds of food, feeding 30 million people. This was the 11th consecutive year of at least 70 million pounds collected by letter carriers. The Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive has collected well over one billion pounds of food since

it began. The need for food assistance exists in every community in America. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 50 million Americans are food insecure, meaning they live at risk of hunger. Perhaps most alarming is the fact that nearly 16 million children in America are struggling with hunger. In addition 4.8 million seniors face choices between paying rent, utilities, and having nutritious food.

At last — Black Hawk gets green light from IDNR By Vinde Wells Editor After months and months of paperwork and waiting, the work can finally begin on the restoration of Oregon’s best-known icon. “The work on Black Hawk can begin. We’re happy at long last,” Frank Rausa, Sterling, said Tuesday morning. “The state issued the contracts last week.” Rausa and his wife Cherron head up the Friends of the Black Hawk Statue, a group formed six years ago to raise funds to repair the areas of the statue that are deteriorating due to time and weather. Chris Young, a spokesman for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), said May 1 that agency officials had signed all contracts. Because the 50-foot concrete landmark is located

at Lowden State Park, it is under IDNR jurisdiction. “Work can begin when the vendors are ready,” Young said in an email. Young also said that the $350,000 received by the IDNR from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity will also be forthcoming. “The grant is good through May of 2016,” he said in the email message. Through the efforts of the Friends of the Black Hawk Statue, experts came up with a plan to restore the portions of the statue that are crumbling and falling off. The folded arms of the statue, especially the elbows and underneath the arms; the middle of the robe; and the vertical fold in the robe from armpit to toe are the critical areas. The statue was encased in plastic mesh for the winter
“The work on Black Hawk can begin. We’re happy at long last. The state issued the contracts last week. — Frank Rausa, Sterling to protect it from further damage from cold, ice, and snow. Designed by Chicago sculptor Lorado Taft in 1910 and dedicated in 1911, Black Hawk was named to the state’s list of Most Endangered Historic Places April 22 by Landmarks Illinois. The agency released a statement about the statue. “Despite several repairs and patches over the decades, the now 104-year old statue is in desperate need of full conservation – its concrete body in some places is so deteriorated that if not addressed immediately there is a risk that the damage will quickly

accelerate and the majority of its original details will be lost,” the press release said. The cost of the restoration is estimated at $825,000, of which nearly $750,000 has been raised by Rausa and his group through donations, grants, and fundraisers. Red tape and getting official approval of the repair plan and the contract for the work has repeatedly delayed the start of the repairs. Everything seemed to be in place late last fall after IDNR officials signed
a contract with project conservator Dr. Andrzej Dajnowski and his crew, from Conservation of Sculpture & Objects Studio, Forest Park. However, over the winter, Rausa said, the IDNR terminated that contract and revised it. Dajnowski received the revised contract early this spring, but another glitch slowed the process when engineer Amy Lamb Woods left her former employer Thornton Tomasetti and joined the firm of Simpson Gumperta & Heger, a Chicago-based engineering firm that designs, investigates, and rehabilitates structures and building enclosures. Rausa said that he wanted Lamb Woods to remain on
the project because of her expertise with repairing concrete structures, and because she helped develop the repair plan. The contract with Lamb Woods was approved last week. Now Rausa said, just some final testing remains to be done before the work begins. “Now we’re waiting for some further testing on the materials to be put into the cracks,” he said. Checks for the restoration project can be made out to the Illinois Conservation Foundation and marked for the Black Hawk Statue. Donations can be mailed to Illinois Conservation Foundation, One Natural Resources Way, Springfield IL 62702.

Officials rated county response From A1 to perform. Each of the 10 points received an overall grade as well. OCEMA Director Tom Richter said Tuesday that the highlight of the county’s performance was the cooperation between the numerous agencies involved in the rescue and recovery efforts the evening of the tornado. “There’s a strong level of trust between the various agencies,” he said. The county’s efforts scored an S overall, Richter said. “Overall, the county performed all of its functions with some challenges,” he said. “The director of IEMA James Joseph was happy with our performance, as
was Region 2.” Richter said the frequent emergency drills held because of the Byron Generating Station have brought the various agencies together over the years and enhanced readiness and cooperation for all kinds of emergency situations. During the evaluation, Sheriff Brian VanVickle said that being on the same radio frequency allowed smooth communication between the Illinois State Police and other police departments on the scene of the tornado. “The system was used like it should have been,” he said. Some communication did not go smoothly, however. Richter said he did not learn about the destruction and people trapped in a

the victims, who suffered only minor injuries. “We didn’t give support to the people up there as soon as we should have,” Richter said. A Monroe Center
firefighter said his department received little early communication from the emergency command center in Rochelle about what was going on and what resources were available.
His department drove around its district looking for damaged structures and offering assistance to residents, he said, and also helped at nearby Fairdale.

By Vinde Wells Editor Securing a carnival may mean changing the traditional dates of Mt. Morris’ annual 4th of July festival. Let Freedom Ring will held over the 4th this year — on July 3, 4, and 5 — but it may be the last time that happens. “To make it more standardized and to secure a carnival, we’re probably going to change to the 4th weekend in June,” said LFR Committee Chairman Mark Lewis. Residents have let the committee know that they want the annual festival to include a carnival, he said. The problem is that for scheduling ease, carnival owners want to commit to a specific weekend rather than dates. Having the festival dates based on the 4th of July means the days of the week change, and carnivals tend
to do their best business on weekends. Lewis said the committee had considered moving the carnival to the fourth weekend in June this year, but decided instead to delay the change until 2016 in the hope of securing a carnival on a more long-term basis. The last carnival declined to come back, he said, because the beer garden at Maggie’s Pub put it too far away from electrical hook-ups. “They would have needed special cabling, and they didn’t want to do that,” he said. Lewis the LFR Committee is looking for more volunteers to help with planning and putting on the festival. “Right now there’s about 10 of us who put the festival on,” he said. “It’s fun or we wouldn’t do it but it would be great to have more ideas and more help.” More donations would also be appreciated, Lewis said. The festival is funded totally through donations from Morris, was issued a citation individuals, organizations, at 9:55 p.m. for speeding—50 and businesses, he said. It mph in a 30 mph zone. This violation occurred in the 600 block of N. Fourth Street.
receives no money from the village. “With the loss of businesses in recent years, we’ve lost donations,” Lewis said. Last year’s donations totaled about $12,000, and costs were almost double that he said with the fireworks display at $15,000, parade at $4,000, and entertainment at $3,500. “If we continue at that rate we’re going to be in trouble,” Lewis said. “We have tried to cut costs where we can. We want to make it as family friendly as possible.” He urged local residents to come and enjoy the festival. “I wish people would come uptown and participate,” he said. The date change means an area festival would be planned every weekend in June, starting off with Leaf River Summer Daze the first weekend of the month, German Valley Days the second weekend, and Polo Town & Country Days on the third weekend. vwells@ogleountynews.com

Guest Column First responders took care of our neighbors By Brian VanVickle Ogle County Sheriff April turned into a busy month for the Ogle County Sheriff’s Office. The new Ogle County Public Safety Complex was completed and we hosted an open house on April 8. The open house was attended by several hundred citizens who were very pleased with the new facilities. Also on April 8, I submitted
my previous editorial. Last month’s topic was teamwork; I never expected to test those relationships the next day. As you are well aware on the evening of April 9 a tornado touched down in Lee County and moved 29 miles across Ogle County ending in the town of Fairdale. The severe weather brought first responders across Northern Illinois to the county for assistance. The way county fire, EMS and law enforcement worked in conjunction with one another during the incident solidifies my stance, you have a great team working to serve you, the citizens of Ogle County.
I think it is not only important to remind everyone of the assets we have locally, but regionally. From a law enforcement perspective we had a total of 32 police departments and sheriff’s offices respond to help within two hours. The Illinois State Police and Illinois Department of Natural Resources provided all of District 1 resources not only the night of the tornado but throughout the week following. The Rochelle Police Department helped with the initial response and search of properties and continued assisting until additional
resources arrived. Lee County Sheriff John Simonton, Dixon Police Chief Danny Langloss, and Dixon Police Lt. Sibley provided assistance in our Unified Command Post. Why do I mention these resources? It is because when a small rural community experiences a disaster of this scale it takes teamwork and the relationships to make a speedy recovery. This is something your sheriff’s office has worked hard to do since Dec.1. In total our initial estimates indicate 91 residences were damaged, 40 homes were destroyed or uninhabitable, one business
was destroyed, and 350 citizens were impacted. So many events have left me speechless but I will always remember is how our first responders took care of our neighbors and the unbelievable out pouring of volunteers. A member of the media asked during a press conference “Being newly elected and facing this disaster do you still like your job?” My answer was quick and simple “I love my job” and it is because the members of the Ogle County Sheriff’s Office make a difference every day in this community and I am proud to lead them.

Public Voice Community has been supportive
Dear Editor: We need to say thank you to so many in the Forreston community so we’ll start with you for the opportunity to publish this letter. We are the Workforce Development Coalition (WDC), a group of volunteers who are working with programs for the schools and businesses within our local four county area in Northwestern Illinois with our ultimate goal for our area to be known as work-force ready. Another thank you goes to Forreston Area Business Association members as many took their time and trouble out of a busy April 14th morning to attend a Forreston Business Connection meeting at the high school. Also present were many high school business and senior students and Jonathan Schneiderman, Business Teacher, Mr. Mandzen and Principal another thank you to all of you as well. This meeting was to start making a connection between the high school
and the business community regarding the Certificate of Employability (COE) which WDC sponsors. The COE is a certificate that high school seniors earn only after meeting rigid standards for three A’s – Academics, Attitude, and Attendance. Earning this certificate will help graduating seniors have their resume set apart from others. Employees recognizing these three qualities know that these students are trainable; value the importance of going to work every day, week in and week out; and have the attitude attributes to work well with other employees in their business. Another thank you goes to Julie Heeren, Dimond Bros. Insurance Agency, Inc., for allowing this dialogue to continue at Forreston Area Business Association business meeting held at Dimond Bros. Insurance Agency Tuesday, April 21. Plus a thank you goes to those business members present for listening to the presentation and their intentions to continue their learning of the Certificate of
Employability at their next meeting. Workforce Development Coalition during last school year reached 4 counties, 16 schools, and 747 students. Our reach must continue educating the local business members within this four county area – a huge task for a strictly volunteer group. Forreston is leading the way and we extend another huge thank you for your assistance and guidance. Any member of the Steering Council for Workforce Development Coalition will gladly grant time to help with understanding the Certificate of Employability (COE). Please feel free to contact me for a list of those members and/or your wish for a one-on-one meeting at a time of your choosing. Sally Brandt for WDC 815-275-6862 brandts@aeroinc.net
On behalf of the members of the Polo Fire Department, I would like to thank all who attended and donated to our Breakfast fund raiser Sunday, April 12. Once again it was a successful fund raiser because of you. We would also like to send out a special thank you to the wives, girlfriends, kids, past department members, and anyone else who jumped in and finished taking care of our customers while we were responding to the building collapse incident in downtown Polo. While we were away you served 70 more people breakfast. That was a great example of the Polo community spirit for helping others. Once again thanks to all of you from the guys at the Polo Fire Department. Tony Karrow Polo Fire Chief

Elephants spend a majority of their time chained, and tigers and lions are kept in cages barely big enough for them to turn around. Because of this, they also suffer from emotional distress, which is displayed in stereotypic behavior like elephants weaving and bobbing their heads and big cats pacing endlessly in their cages called Zoochosis. There is undercover video footage of the treatment of the animals and all you have to do is google Circus Animal Cruelty. There have also been countless tragedies causing extreme danger to people and the animals themselves. I implore you to think again before you buy a ticket to the circus with animals. I encourage you to join myself and many others for a peaceful demonstration when Ringling Brothers circus comes to Rockford, Illinois on May 8, 9, and 10. Find the details here:https:// www.facebook.com/ events/1643688772526217/. Please join me to be their voice. Jean Karlsson Amboy

POLO CHIROPRACTIC CENTER, P.C. 109 S. Franklin • Polo, IL 61064
You are thrilled to know it is circus season again and you can’t wait to take your children or go with friends to see the elephants, tigers, and any other animals they are bringing with them. You can’t wait to see the tricks they will perform. The circus may seem like harmless fun for kids and a nostalgic experience for adults, but have you ever wondered what it takes to get a tiger to jump through a ring of fire or an elephant to stand on their hind legs? Animals in the circus are beaten, prodded, shocked, whipped, and have their spirits broken to get them to perform unnatural tricks. The training starts when they are babies, taken away from their mothers, as they are dominated with weapons and continues throughout their lives. Bullhooks used on elephants are a club like device with a sharp point and hook at one end, used to prod, “hook” and hit them. The training happens in secret, but the weapons are always present to remind the animals what will happen if they don’t obey.

Man killed in Tuesday crash An Mt. Morris man died Tuesday afternoon after he was ejected from his sport utility vehicle in a roll-over crash southeast of Mt. Morris. Eric J. Pepper, 37, was pronounced dead at the scene of the one-vehicle crash on Camp Road approximately a quarter-mile west of Ridge
Road. Ogle County Sheriff’s Police said Pepper was driving the SUV west on Camp Road when it went out of control and entered the north ditch where it side-swiped a utility pole. The vehicle then rolled over at least three times and struck
a second utility pole, breaking it off, before coming to rest in the ditch. The crash occurred at 5:14 p.m. The accident remains under investigation. The Mt. Morris Fire Department and ambulance and the Ogle County Coroner’s Office assisted at the scene.
Golf outing will be held The second annual Scott David Rudolf Memorial Golf Outing will be held on June 20 at Sunset Golf Course, Mt. Morris. The golf outing will be a Best Ball Scramble, with a shotgun start at 10 a.m. Last year was the inaugural event to honor the life of an Ogle County athlete of the past, Scott David Rudolf. With the love of family and friends, the Scott David Rudolf Memorial Scholarship Committee raised funds for a scholarship in his name. They created honorariums to support the education of athletes who show similar
qualities and values that Rudolf portrayed as a young man growing up in Mt. Morris. The committee has added a benefit dinner this year. The Best Ball Scramble is $50 per person and $200 per team. This will include 18 holes of golf, golf cart, lunch and prizes. The committee is looking for event sponsors and individuals to partner in the mission, “For the Joy of the Team.” The benefit dinner will feature pulled pork sandwiches, provided by locally owned Big Ed’s BBQ,
salads, and chips. Activities will include 50/50 raffles, Cookies by the Pound, and live music. The cost of the dinner will be $8 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under. Cookies by the Pound will be $5 per pound. For more info and updates visit the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ SDRmemorial. Anyone interested in becoming a sponsor at either the golf or dinner, or both, contact Jason Page at jpage816@gmail.com or 815440-3416.

New coach will
lead Lady Cards

Highly competitive Hawk Classic title goes to Bago, Polo was fourth By Andy Colbert Reporter In the 39 years of the Oregon Art Carlson Hawk Classic, rarely has the meet been this closely contested. Long considered the top small-school gathering of track and field teams in northern Illinois, it was traditional power Winnebago defending its title by edging Sterling Newman 89 to 87.5 on May 1. Close behind was Rockford Christian with 81.5 and Polo-Forreston with 80.5. Erie-Prophetstown, expected to contend for the team title, was fifth with 70, followed by Oregon with 57 in the 19-team event. “I love this meet,” Newman coach Andy Accardi said. “With the great competition, it’s the measuring stick of where we’re at.” Winnebago won the meet based upon its strengths in both the running and field events, but the real stars on the track at Landers-Loomis Field were Chris Ahlers and Regan Todhunter of Newman and a whole bunch of really fast kids on three loaded relays for Polo-Forreston. For Todhunter, the meet
was doubly satisfying. Besides sweeping long-time rival Dylan Binion of E-P in both hurdles races, he was voted MVP of the meet. Calling it the best race he’s ever run, Todhunter cracked the 15-second barrier in the 110-meter highs for the first time, beating Binion 14.98 to 15.77. “I’ve been going against him for three years, but try not to think about him or anyone else,” Todhunter said. “I got out and ran a clean race.” Ahlers had an even more formidable opponent to contend with in the 1,600 run in Nick Monkemeyer of Rockford Christian, who placed fourth in the 1A state cross-country meet. In one of the best races of the night, the pair dueled for the final 300 meters, with Ahlers pulling away for a 4:27 to 4:29 win. “He’s so talented,” Ahlers said. “He went by me at 300, but I thought I could keep up. I got ahead (at the curve) and kept looking behind, waiting for him to come.” Monkemeyer, well known for his kick in cross country, wasn’t able to muster a final charge and Ahlers personal best time held up.
“Nick can’t run on the curve and beat someone of equal ability,” RC coach Randy Moore said. “We’ll learn from that. Still, for him to have a 9:40 (winning 3,200) and 4:29 double is awesome.” Earlier, Ahlers joined Quincy Coomes, Bryson Reyes and Drew Rosengren in winning the 3,200 relay in 8:10, one of the best times in the 1A this year. That time is only six seconds off the school record and three seconds better than what they ran in medalling downstate in 2014. With Coomes, Reyes and Rosengren back from the unit and Ahlers replacing Micah Trancoso, a state title may be within reach. All had splits between 2:01 and 2:03. “I’m overjoyed with their race,” Comet distance coach Pat Warkins said. “After last year at state, I knew we’d be back up there. The key for us is to stay healthy,” In dominating fashion, it was Polo-Forreston winning the rest of the relays. In the 400 relay, it was Brooks Grobe, Brad Cavanaugh, Nathan Stukenberg and senior newcomer Aaron Shelton by a wide margin
A coach with a history of taking teams down state has been hired to lead the Forreston Cardinals volleyball team. Shannon Williams, was hired Wednesday, April 29, by the Forrestville Valley School District. Williams will be the head varsity volleyball coach and a high school physical education teacher. Williams has spent the last six years at the helm of the powerful Lady Indians of Dakota from 2009 through the 2014 season. “I am very excited about this great opportunity at Forreston and working to get them to take the next step in volleyball success,” said Williams. “This was not an easy decision for me because of all the great people I have been able to work with the past six years at Dakota.” She is replacing coach Lori Wellington who is retiring from the district. During her tenure at Dakota, Williams had a record of 196-42. This include a Class 1A Volleyball State Championship in 2011 and a two Class 2A State Volleyball Runner-Ups in 2012 and 2014. Williams’ teams have always been known for being fundamentally sound and mentally tough. She looks to bring that brand of volleyball to Forreston in the fall. Williams has been a resident in the Forrestville district for the past eight years while coaching in Dakota. “We are very fortunate to have coach Williams living in our district,” said Forrestville Valley Superintendent Sheri Smith. “She truly cares for the success of all of her players and does a wonderful job of motivating her players to compete both physically and
over second-place Newman, 43.95-44.62. So loaded in the sprint relays is P-F that Max Barkalow, a state relay medalist from 2012, sat that event out. Barkalow replaced Stukenberg in the 800 relay and the result was 20-meter win over the next closest team. Both sprint relays have yet to lose this season. “Max talked me into coming out,” said Shelton, who hasn’t run track since junior high. “It makes it easier to gel in the relays with such good athletes.” Lead-off runner Grobe took second in the 100 and 200 meters behind Austin Sikora of Rockford Lutheran. Sikora has yet to lose in the sprints outdoors this year, but barely nipped Grobe in the 100 meters, 11.32 to 11.34. “I lost it in the blocks,” Grobe said. “But, tonight felt good to finally have some competition in the relays and run in perfect conditions.” The real excitement for Senior baseball players P-F, though, came in the and their parents will be 1,600 relay against highly recognized on Thursday, May regarded Rockford Christian. RC had a 20-meter lead on 7 at 4:15 p.m. before the start of the varsity game versus Turn to B2 Milledgeville.

mentally at an elite level.” Smith is looking forward to having Williams teach and coach in the district. “We couldn’t be more excited to have someone with her credentials and proven track record to be taking over our volleyball program,” said Smith. “Williams is a true leader in the region when it comes to building the necessary relationships with players, coaches, parents, and community members, and it shows in how hard her players compete every night they take the floor. Forrestville Valley is very fortunate to have coach Williams and we look forward to great things.”
Lori Wellington announced she is retiring from teaching at the end of the 2014-2015 school year.
Senior nights are set for May 7 & 14 Senior softball players and their parents will be recognized at the start of the varsity game versus Pecatonica Thursday, May 14 at 4 p.m. at Polo Park.

Polo boys third, Oregon girls second at county meet By Andy Colbert Reporter In the 43 years of the Ogle County Meet, the Polo boys have never won it. With a loaded team of sprinters, the 2015 Polo-Forreston team thought it had a shot of finally gaining that coveted title Tuesday night. Instead, P-F finished in third with 87 points. Byron won with 104, followed by Rochelle with 95. Oregon was fourth with 53 and Stillman Valley fifth with 35. “I’m disappointed in the team standings. I was hoping to be a contender,” P-F coach Ryan Deets said. P-F did sweep the 400, 800 and 1,600-meter relays and got individual firsts from Brooks Grobe in the 100 and Nathan Stukenberg in the 200 and 400. P-F was hurt by a lackluster showing in the field events and distances, but managed a first place in the high jump from Brad Cavanaugh. For Oregon, Konner Wilson turned in one of the top performances of the year
by upsetting 2-time state qualifier Danny Falconer of Byron in both the high and intermediate hurdles. “That was outstanding and will serve as a springboard for Konner going into the post season,” Oregon coach Jim Spratt said. On the girls side, Oregon led the meet midway through, gaining valuable points in the field events. But in the end, it was Byron pulling away for a decisive 139 to 88 point win over the Lady Hawks. Rochelle was next with 66, followed by Polo-Forreston with 48 and SV with 33. The star of the meet for Oregon was Sarah Lauer, who won the long jump (15-8.5) and triple jump (35-0). She also ran a leg on the winning 400 relay with Kelsey Pudlas, Hailey Long and Sarah Harris. Pudlas tacked on a first in the pole vault (8-0). In the 800 relay, it was Long, Harris, Sommer Rhea and Delaney Mahoney coming out ahead with a 1:53 clocking. “We performed about where I expected,” Oregon
coach Nick Schneiderman said. “We did pretty well.” Polo-Forreston got a first in the discus from Mackenzie Heinz, who edged Carly Stephens of Oregon, 99-5 to 96-9. “That was a nice night for Mackenzie,” P-F coach Terry Jenkins said. Prior to the start of the 300 hurdles, the meet was delayed for 30 minutes after starter Harry Fletcher of Oregon collapsed and paramedics were called. Fletcher was taken for observation by the Rochelle ambulance. “It looked like he fell over and cut his face after hitting the track,” Rochelle athletic director Kevin Crandall said. Earlier in the meet, Fletcher was presented with a plaque by Rochelle for his 40 years of service as an IHSA track and field official. “He’s such a good guy and good with the kids,” Crandall said. “To do this 40 years is remarkable. The plaque is a token of appreciation for what he has done specifically for the Ogle County meet
and for the track and field community in general.”
Frank Swingel of rural Oregon, the other meet
official, was able to finish the meet on his own.

Polo-Forreston sprint relays show they have talent From B1 the third leg, with freshman Gavin Fuchs taking the baton for P-F. Fuchs stunned the Royals by making up the difference and giving anchor Stukenberg a narrow lead. With Stukenberg and Jack Smith of RC jockeying for position on the final 400 meters, it was Stukenberg putting away Smith with a mad sprint to the finish.
“I kept on pushing,” Stukenberg said. “I wanted to show the bigger schools what we’re made of.” “Stuke has so much heart. He’s someone who runs a leg on the 3,200 relay and comes right back to run the 400 relay,” P-F coach Ryan Deets said. “And, Fuchs competitiveness will not let him lose a race. He’s hungry. With veterans Barkalow and Cavanaugh chipping in,
P-F’s time of 3:28.67 was five seconds better that it’s previous best and stunned a RC team that has designs on a 2A state place in the 1,600 relay. “I’m impressed. I’ve never heard of Polo before,” RC’s anchor Smith said. “I think we let everyone in the state know who we are,” Deets said. “To sweep the sprint relays in a meet of this caliber and run the times we
did puts us in a position to get some places downstate.” Cody Kluck of Pearl City beat ironman Stukenberg 51.14 to 51.25 for a first place in the 400 meters. Kevin Cheeseman was fifth for P-F. Freshman AJ Christensen added a pair of places in the hurdles. In a very competitive high jump, Cavanaugh was fourth at six feet, with ‘Bago sophomore Alex Bolhous
going 6-6 to win. Preston Stapleton had a fifth in the triple jump. Oregon had its best performance in the throws, with John Ghibellini and Kole Mowry going second and third in the both the shot and discus. Konner Wilson also had a good night with places in both hurdles and on the sprint relays. Sylar Short, Mitchell Nerhkorn, Andrew Newman
and Carson Buck also ran on the 400 and 800 relays. In the 3,200 relay, the team of Adam Weller, Caleb Mennen, Ian Hussung and Newman placed fifth and thee 1,600 relay was also fifth. “I keep on seeing improvement in our times and I’m really pleased with Mowry and Ghibellini,” Oregon coach Jim Spratt said.
Forreston-Polo teams look prepared for regionals By Andy Colbert Reporter In less than three weeks, baseball and softball begin regional play. Like the robins coming out in spring, that is a sure sign that the school year is about over. Leading the way among area teams is the Forreston/ Polo baseball team. They are 20-5 and undefeated in conference play. Durand-Pecatonica has one loss and Aquin two in NUIC play. If Forreston can maintain its current standing, it will be the trifecta of conference titles
in football, basketball (tie) and baseball. “We are hitting the ball well, batting around .350 as a team and averaging just under 10 runs a game,” F-P coach Kyle Zick said. “If our pitching holds up, come regional time, we can be a tough game versus anyone.” Nathan Schneiderman, Jake Cunningham and Robert DeVries are all hitting around .450. Schneiderman is also the ace of the pitching staff with a sparkling 1.46 ERA and 50 strikeouts. Caleb Poffenberger is close behind at 2.01 ERA. Stillman Valley will be
F-P’s toughest foe at the 2A regional hosted by Oregon. Other teams are West Carroll and Byron, which lost virtually its entire starting line up from the last year’s state runner-up. Oregon is 4-16-1 and last in the BNC west with a 1-9 record, with the lone win over Byron. The top conference teams are Mendota and Stillman. “We’re struggling for consistency, but playing better as of late,” Oregon coach Adam Albrecht said. “We’re working for a strong finish these next two weeks in
preparation for regionals.” No matter what their record, never count the Hawks out of a regional. Three years ago, they made it to the regional final, followed by a supersectional run in 2013 after coming in as a No. 5 regional seed. Last year, they played Byron tough in a close 4-1 loss. On the other hand, Forreston dropped a pair of regional heartbreakers the last couple years, a 3-2 loss to Mendota in 2013 and an extra inning affair to Winnebago in 2014. So much of post-season
NORTHERN ILLINOIS TV Custom TV Installation Home Audio Surveillance Systems
success depends on who gets hot at the right time and which way the ball bounces. Baseball can be a fickle game. On the softball side, Forreston-Polo and Oregon are both having winning seasons. F-P is 11-6 overall and 8-2 in the conference. “The girls are starting to play well as a team,” said athletic director Jim Kann, who doubles as head coach. “Hitting has come around and the next two weeks of conference play will be very competitive and ultimately determine out conference champ.” Oregon is 12-9 and 5-5 in the BNC. Stillman Valley has been untouched in conference play and looks to be crowned as champ. The Lady Hawks
played SV as well as anyone in conference, only falling 6-2. “The biggest thing is coming back together and keeping the errors down,” Oregon coach Jay Holley said. “We’ve had good individual efforts throughout the season, but now we need a collective team effort. With the regionals coming up, now is the right time for that.” Even with a tough slate of games remaining, including Rock Falls and Stillman, Holley hopes to finish in the top 3-4 of the BNC west. The girls regional will have the exact same teams as the boys and will be held at Byron. As expected, Stillman Valley is a prohibitive favorite, with F-P, Oregon and Byron closely matched.
