Braker finishes
with a final song By Chris Johnson Reporter
Cell phones and music performances are like oil and water, they never mix. Well, during the annual Forreston High School Spring Band Concert last week they did mix. Senior band member Travis Cunningham and his accomplices worked out a plan to include a cell phone during the May 9 concert. Between songs, students were reading program notes about the selections the band was performing. It was during one of these that senior Travis Cunningham unleashed a cell phone. “I’m sure Mr. Braker will understand,� said Cunningham as he talked on the phone and paced in front
of the band. Cunningham said he was in the middle of a band concert but could talk for five minutes. While this was going on band director Chip Braker was fighting back laughter. A phone may go off in the audience during any concert, but a band members phone going off is never allowed. However, since this was Braker’s final concert of a 30year career at Forreston High School, he knew the students had something planned and shook his head during the phone interruption. Forreston High School band director Chip Braker thanks the audience for their applause Friday night and signals Braker even used the them to have a seat so the band could perform an encore.

District looks to select a leader Special school board meeting set for May 14 By Vinde Wells Editor The Forrestville Valley School District may be one step closer to having a new leader this week. School board president Robert Ebbesmeyer said Tuesday that the board
would hold a special meeting Wednesday evening to consider hiring Sheri Smith, Freeport, as the district’s full-time superintendent for the 2014-15 school year. The board planned to meet in closed session Wednesday and then possibly make an announcement on their intention of hiring Smith for the top spot, he said. Smith resides in the Forrestville Valley School
District and is currently the assistant superintendent for the Belvidere School District. The school board has been seeking a new superintendent since Superintendent Lowell A. Taylor tendered his resignation Feb. 4. The resignation is effective June 15. Taylor, who had been the superintendent since 2001, stepped down after an extended medical leave.
Taylor went on sick leave in early August last year, and the board granted him medical leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) on Aug. 26, the same day it hired Jane Eichman, Rock Falls, as interim superintendent for the current school year. The board suspended Taylor without pay in January and later rescinded that action to accept his resignation, along with a lengthy agreement.

Property owners receive tax bills By Vinde Wells Editor By now most property owners in Ogle County have already received their real estate tax bill. Ogle County Treasurer & Collector John Coffman said the more than 29,300 tax bills were mailed from Oregon on May 6. Taxes collected this year will total $119,336,000, approximately $900,000 more than last year, he said. The total reflects the amount due to all the governing bodies that draw real estate tax revenue from property in the county. The increase is likely due to several factors, Coffman said.
“I haven’t fully analyzed it yet,� he said Monday. “Farmland is up 10 percent, and some levies are up.� Part of the overall increase is due to industrial growth at Rochelle and some can be attributed to a higher assessment at Exelon’s Byron Generating Station, Coffman said. However, he said, the assessments of many residential properties decreased this year. The Ogle County Board of Review set the assessment of the nuclear plant at $509 million for 2013, $10 million more than the previous year. This year’s tax bills are based on the 2013 assessments.

A fast-moving virus that attacks pigs dealt a Polo farmer significant losses earlier this year. Brian Duncan, who raises hogs northwest of Polo, estimates he lost 1,000 to 1,200 baby pigs in March after they contracted porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). “We went about a month without weaning any little pigs,� he said. “Usually we wean about 300 a week.� While any hog can catch the virus, it’s especially deadly for very young piglets. “It kills all of them under 14 days old,� Duncan said. “It’s a very aggressive virus. Once it hits, it moves very quickly.� Older pigs fare better if they contract the virus. “When it hits anything over 14 days old, it’s more like a mild flu,� he said. “It’s absolutely devastating to a little pig.� The sows on the farm also contracted the virus. They were “off feed� for a couple of days, Duncan said, and then returned to normal. It takes a little time to ride out the effects of the virus, he said, but currently even his youngest pigs are thriving. “It takes some time for the sows to build up immunity to

“It’s a very aggressive virus. Once it hits, it moves very quickly,� — Brian Duncan, Polo pass on to the pigs,� Duncan said. “We know it’s still present on the farm, but the sows have enough immunity now to protect the pigs.� He is, however, taking extra precautions to keep PEDV at bay. “We do a lot of cleaning anyway, but now we’re doing extra steam-cleaning and disinfecting,� he said. Across the county, Kim Huntley, Chana, who finishes 27,000 hogs annually for market is also taking precautions against PEDV. His hogs have not contracted the virus and are past the age when it’s the most dangerous. “I don’t have baby pigs. They come in here at 50 pounds. They aren’t as susceptible. They can get it but they don’t die from it,� he said. None the less, Huntley is being careful. Clothing and boots are removed before leaving either of the two sites where he raises pigs. “Our clothes and boots are site specific,� he said. “They don’t go from one place to the other. And we wear plastic gloves.�

The tires on trucks delivering feed are sprayed with disinfectant, and truck drivers wear plastic, disposable boots. “It is a serious deal, no question about it,� Huntley said. PEDV is a coronavirus that infects the cells that line the small intestine of a pig, causing severe diarrhea and dehydration. The virus usually kills young piglets within five days of contracting it. PEDV was first discovered in Europe, but soon traveled to Asian countries. It was discovered in the U.S. in the spring of 2013 and in Canada earlier this year. Duncan said he has not determined how it got to his operation. The virus is not a danger to humans. It is not passed from pigs to humans or other animals. The meat of affected hogs is safe to eat. “It poses no danger whatsoever to humans,� Duncan said. In fact, the only effect is likely a hike in pork prices. Duncan said the recent

episode reminded him of a similar virus that affected hogs when he was a youngster. “It’s similar to TGE (transmissible gastroenteritis). They’re both coronaviruses. Our pigs got TGE when I was a kid,� he said. “But this is like TGE on steroids.� No vaccines are currently available to combat PEDV, he said, although animal pharmaceutical companies are working on developing one. “Most vaccines don’t work very well on viruses,� Duncan said.

Through a collaborative effort between students and Forreston Junior Senior High School Principal Michael Mandzen, a new honors program has been created to recognize student achievement during the graduation ceremony. The program is designed to encourage and motivate students to push themselves to take rigorous courses while in high school. One of the main focuses of the honors program is to challenge students to take capstone courses in various subject areas, especially during the senior year when many students are looking to create an easy, less stressful class schedule. Taking the most demanding courses will create learning opportunities for students to deepen their knowledge and expand their ability to apply skills within specific content areas and challenge
their creative and analytical thinking. The program concentrates on what is important in school, learning, and advancing that learning at higher levels of thinking. The new honors program recognizes two distinct levels of achievement. The first level is considered Total Achievement. To be designated as Total Achievement students have to meet or exceed on each of the three Prairie State Achievement Examination subject area tests of reading, math, and science. Students must also earn at least a 2.67 (B-) GPA, and demonstrate good citizenship. They can not have suspensions or acts of gross misconduct, acts of aggression or violence on their record during junior or senior year. They are required to pass at least three capstone or college level courses with grades of C
or above. The second level of distinction is called Highest Achievement. It requires a student to meet or exceed on each of the three Prairie State Achievement Examination subject area tests of reading, math, and science. Students will have at least a 3.67 (A-) GPA, demonstrate good citizenship; have no suspensions or acts of gross misconduct, acts of aggression or violence during junior or senior year. They must pass at least five capstone or college level courses with grades of B- or above. Students earning either level of distinction will be recognized at the Honors Night on Thursday, May 15 at 7 p.m. at the Forreston High School gymnasium. They will be presented with an Honors Chord to wear during the commencement ceremony on Sunday, May 18.
Poppy sale will be May 17 Members of the Forreston American Legion Post will sell poppies on Thursday, May 15 and Saturday, May 17 in the downtown area. The poppy was first chosen as the American Legion’s memorial flower at the 1921 National Convention and was worn in memory of the men who lost their lives in World War I. The one bright color on the shell-torn fields and hills of war-ravaged areas in Europe was the little red poppy.
One the edges of the trenches, in the ragged shell holes, brave little poppies grew and bloomed on the graves of the men buried in French soil at Flanders Field. The poppy became the symbol of the dead and the sign that the high ideals, for which thousands of brave young men gave their lives, still live and are honored. Soon a double significance was attached to the memorial poppy. Disabled veterans learned to
assemble poppies while getting well. In Illinois, American Legion Posts and Auxiliaries are united in their efforts to help hospitalized veterans by delivering materials to make the poppies during the winter months. The proceeds of poppy sales are returned to veterans and their families through American Legion Service programs. The poppies are distributed each May by dedicated, unpaid volunteers.
Free screenings on June 7 The Freeport Health Network will conduct free blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure screenings on Saturday, June 7 from 7 to 10 a.m. at the German Valley Fire Station.
Anyone having the blood sugar screening must fast for five hours prior to the test. The Lions of Illinois Hearing Screening Bus will be at the German Valley Fire
Station from 7 to 10 a.m. on June 7 to conduct free hearing screenings. The tests are being sponsored by the German Valley Lions Club.

Letter brings laughter and tears to the audience From A1 High School. “Congratulations on being offered the position, “ said Braker. “To help you get off to a great start, I have compiled a welcome to Forreston kit.â€? The kit included the top 10 things needed to be successful. 10) Forreston Band Polo Shirt. 9) Forreston Redbird Hat 8) Whistle 7) Pocket Knife 6) Coffee Cup 5) Back Brace 4) Mistletoe Bow Tie 3) File of really corny jokes. 2) Bang head here sign 1) The peacekeeper (really big stick) During each of these 10 things, the audience laughed with each story behind the items. After reading the top 10 a heartfelt message was delivered to the band and the audience. “The most important thing you need to be a successful band director is not a thing at all but is something you do — love your students,â€? said Braker. “Love them despite questionable tastes in music, crazy fashion sense‌ They will love you despite your temper tantrums, and your refusal to accept anything but their best. Take care of my kids and yourself. You
need each other to fulfill your passion.� As he finished reading, members of the band and audience had tears in their eyes. It was now real to everyone. This was Braker’s final performance before retiring at the end of the school year. Continuing with a 30-year tradition, the graduating seniors presented Braker with a gift. “For 30 years the seniors have been giving gifts back to the band,� said Cunningham. “After 30 years it is kind of hard to find something they haven’t given. “ The students painted the wooden carts used to transport equipment between events. In a second gift, Braker received a framed baton. The message inside the frame read: “For being a teacher, a friend, a mentor, and for believing in the talent within all of us, we would like to thank you for being the greatest leader the Redbird Regiment has ever had. We love you! - The Class of 2014� A second message read: “Presented to Chip Braker in grateful appreciation for the many years of hard work and dedication provided to the Forreston High School Music Department. The seniors then asked to be led in the school fight song
one last time. During the performance Braker was able to hold back the tears and focus on the music. “I was able to put all that behind me,� he said. “This is about the students and making music has been the greatest thing in my entire life besides my family. This is going to be the hard part sitting here.� A reception for Braker was held in the lobby following the concert where he received handshakes, hugs, and high praise for his years as the band director. The praise even came from other band directors. “He does great things and everyone likes him,� said Oregon Junior High band director Miles Beske. “The kids stick with it because it is never about him, but always about the students.� Beske said he played for Braker and works to include his teachings when conducting. “He made strict fun and knew when to push the students to perform better,� said Beske. “He has been a great ambassador for music.� Additional praise came from Forreston Grade School Principal Travis Heinz. He taught with Braker before Heinz became an administrator. “He is one of the pillars of the school and community,�
Heinz said. “You can not replace a Chip. Everyone has been surprised at our quality band program.� The band performs at all home football games and many volleyball and basketball games. “I taught with him for 18 years in the same building,� said Heinz. The students have respected Braker and wanted to go to rehearsals every day. For the juniors it will be hard not seeing Braker next year. “I am going to miss him,� said junior Josie Pasch. “He has been my favorite teacher.� She has been in band for six years and plans to continue in her senior year with the new director. “Braker knew when to get down to business but also knew how to stay a fun teacher,� she said. Under the direction of Chip Braker the band continued to perform well during IHSA contests. This year was no exception. The band and jazz band earned first place honors. Braker said the band had the highest marks of the day. In Class C Solo/Ensemble Forreston had 231 points. the second place school Gilman Iroquois West had 159 points. This solid performance helped Forreston earn fourth place overall in Class C. During the performance last week the band showed why they earn first place marks. Euphonium players Travis Cunningham, and Bryan Edler performed with guest soloist Nicole Arn, Freeport director of bands. They played “Bugler’s Holiday� by Leroy Anderson. The song is usually performed with three buglers. The concert had a variety of musical styles from marches to Hollywood movie themes and the students performed each piece flawlessly. Braker still has two performances left before his retirement. A small band performs during graduation on Sunday, May 18 and students will perform during Memorial Day services. A video selection is available on our website at www.oglecountynews.com.

Some people have hesitated to try batik, because it seemed tedious. It is a waxresist dyeing of cloth. This modified version has made the process much easier. Lundeen learned this technique at a workshop in Mississippi at the Mary O’Keefe Pavilion. She has given batik workshops for adults at the ENAG studio and in her home. She has also led a workshop for children at The Next Picture Show in Dixon.

Spring fly-in breakfast served at Ogle Airport The local chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA #682) is sponsoring a pancake breakfast with all the trimmings at the Ogle County Airport on Sunday, May 18 from 7 a.m. to noon. The airport is located between Oregon and Mt. Morris on Ill. 64. The entire family can enjoy Eickman’s whole hog sausage, scrambled eggs, and small mountains of pancakes with all the fixings. Volunteers including local pilots, student pilots, members of the Rock River Flyers flying club, the Ogle County Pilots, EAA members, Blackhawks Crossing 4-H Club and other volunteers who contribute their time and effort to make the big Sunday breakfast a success. The EAA #682 uses the Ogle County airport as its
base in part because of the well-maintained runway and grounds of the airport. Glenn Hake, Byron, the president of the chapter, said this airport is maintained like a park and he enjoys flying off of the grass runway. The airport was recognized by the Illinois Department of Transportation as the General Aviation Airport of the year in 2007. The award was in recognition of continued efforts in maintenance excellence and contributions to the enhancement of aviation education and community development. Doug Schiller, Oregon, the airport manager, said the big advantage at the airport is the lack of congestion and low costs. Tie downs and hangar leases are available. Nick Lung, Leaf River, one of the founding members, said
that there has been increased activity and improvements at the airport in the last few years. Flight instruction, biennial reviews, tail-wheel check out is available from instructors using the airport. The airport started out more than 30 years ago and the airport remains a public use airport without taxpayer support. More information is available at www. oglecountyairport.com A World War II style Hangar Dance is tentatively scheduled for Aug. 16 and the annual Hog Roast is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 12. The other two upcoming events include breakfasts July 4 and Sept. 14 . The Sept. 14 breakfast will feature a car show with all proceeds of the car show benefiting the Blackhawks Crossing 4-H Club.

Committee will recommend hiring forensic audit firm By Vinde Wells Editor The Ogle County Sheriff’s Tow Fund is one step closer to being completely scrutinized. The county’s Executive Committee voted Tuesday to approve hiring Sikich LLP, Naperville, to do a forensic audit of the controversial Tow Fund from 2012 up to the present. The full county board is expected to vote on the measure at its May 20 meeting. Board chairman Kim Gouker, Byron, said the fee for the initial investigation is $7,500. If fraud is uncovered during the audit, the costs will increase. The initial investigation will document procedures used in the Tow Fund since it was implemented in 2011 and identify any abuses.
“As I understand this, they won’t be looking at anything in particular. They will be looking at everything,� Gouker said. “One of the things we get out of this study is a reorganization of this fund.� Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn came under fire in the last several months over expenditures from the Tow Fund, which included purchasing a new vehicle, flowers for Secretaries Day, a tent at the county fair, and $4,000 for the department’s Facebook page to be managed. In what seems to be a reversal of his previous stance, Gouker called for the forensic audit at last month’s county board meeting. Board member Richard Petrizzo, Davis Junction, made a motion for a forensic audit of the Tow Fund as well as the sheriff’s credit card
expenditures at the board’s Jan. 21 meeting. However, Gouker said the matter could not be voted on then because it was not on the agenda. Petrizzo’s subsequent efforts to have the matter placed on the agenda were unsuccessful. In February, the board diminished the sheriff’s control over the Tow Fund by limiting how it could be spent and requiring the approval of expenditures by the county committee that oversees the sheriff’s budget. Harn was defeated in the March 18 primary election in his bid for the Republican Party nomination for sheriff by Brian VanVickle, a Rochelle police officer. At its April 15 meeting, the county board approved a resolution establishing the Tow Fund.
Gouker said that although the board approved implementing administrative tow fees in 2011, the ordinance governing that did not actually establish the Tow Fund. The new resolution mandated that Tow Fund deposits are limited to only administrative fees collected when a vehicle is towed, impounded, or seized during a criminal investigation. It further requires that the Tow Fee will be handled by the Ogle County Treasurer’s office, rather than the sheriff, as in the past. Treasurer John Coffman said the Tow Fund was turned over to his office April 15 when received a check for $51,932.07 from the sheriff’s department. Gouker said Tuesday that the forensic audit will verify that the amount of the check was correct.
In a related issue, Gouker said the Executive Committee will study removing some departments from the sheriff’s oversight. He said the changes will be made in the next few months. The changes come on the heels of a recommendation from the Ogle County League of Women Voters that the sheriff should have fewer duties. League member Diane McNeilly, Rochelle, told the county board in April that a recent study of several neighboring counties showed that the Ogle County Sheriff is responsible for more departments, employees, and money than his counterparts. Besides overseeing the Sheriff’s and Corrections Departments, Harn is also in charge of the Ogle County Emergency Management Agency (OCEMA), the
county’s Buildings & Grounds, Information Technology, telecommunications, and security for the courts as well as all county properties. Gouker said some departments — OCEMA, Buildings & Grounds, Information Technology, and Building Security — will be realigned so that the sheriff is no longer in charge of them. Instead the heads of those areas will report to a county committee. “This has nothing to do with the job the current sheriff is doing. It’s too many duties,� Gouker said. “This has morphed over the last two decades when a lot of extra duties were given to the sheriff. Instead, we want these entities to report to the board through a committee rather than through an elected official who didn’t have that statutory authority.�
Foreclosure filed on Oregon hotel By Vinde Wells Editor
An area bank has filed foreclosure proceedings against a well-known Oregon hotel. Attorneys for mortgageholder Stillman Banccorp filed a lawsuit in Ogle County Court April 29 against the Paddle Wheel Inn, 1457 N. Ill. 2, just north of Oregon. The 100-plus room hotel is located on the banks of the Rock River next to Maxson’s
Riverside Restaurant, just east of the bank’s Oregon branch. The restaurant is not connected to the hotel and reopened in March under new ownership. Court records show that the hotel is owned by Lila V. Kaufman, James D. Kaufman, Carol K. Bush, and Martin A. Bush. According to court documents, the hotel owners failed to made their mortgage payment last September and
ever since. The bank is owed $776,952 on the 10-year mortgage which was taken out in September of 2008. Monthly payments were $6,744. Attorneys for the bank are asking that the court make a judgment to foreclose on the mortgage and to either grant the bank possession of the hotel or appoint a receiver. The lawsuit also asks that the property is sold at a public auction with open bids. The bank is represented
by Stephen G. Balsley of the Rockford law firm of Barrick, Switzer, Long, Balsley, & Van Evera. Ogle County property records show that the real estate taxes on the hotel are up-to-date. The hotel closed its doors late last fall and did not reopen this spring. A court date on the matter is set for June 13. The Paddle Wheel Inn was built in the mid-1990s.
Public Voice Free activities have been wonderful
Dear Editor, I would like to thank the Mt. Morris Public Library and the Rock River Center for the free activities available to all of us, sort of whatever “trips your trigger.� Once a month, the Mt. Morris library offers a timely presentation. This month two presentations were available: one very fine program on autism, since this is Autism Awareness month; the other by the author Abbie Reese on May 18 who wrote
“Dedicated to God, An Oral History of Cloistered Nuns.� The Rock River Center in Oregon has many fine free regular programs such as carving, cards, bingo, making quilts, making cards, monthly birthday celebrations the second Tuesday, pot lucks with singing led by Margo Ackland prior to lunch, Old News, Book Club, Stump Jumpers, etc., etc. The various computer classes are offered free and available. One very fine program, Viking Ship on a stormy Sunday evening had a good turnout and was excellent; the ship sailed from Norway to Chicago for the 1893 World’s Columbian Expedition via
the ocean, Great Lakes, etc. The May 3 Spelling Bee was fun and the next round will be at Rock River Center sometime in June. It is a very fine facility, the employees and volunteers are friendly and capable with the space needed being available. Linda Duffy, activities director, also plans trips.

Cavanaughs push each other to improve daily By Brian Weidman Sauk Valley Media Prior to the Ogle County track meet on Tuesday in Rochelle, members of the Polo-Forreston boys track team were unloading gear and limbering up outside the football stadium. A team member then chimed in, “Who’s going to be the better Cavanaugh brother in the high jump today? Is little bro going to show up big bro.� For the record – yes. Brad Cavanaugh, a sophomore at Polo, won the event. He cleared 5 feet, 11 inches, the same height as his older brother Brian, but Brad won the event on fewer misses. It was the latest in a series of competitions in which the Cavanaughs try to push each other to new heights. Don’t look for any kind of bragging rights, however, for the winner. When Brad had a seasonbest of 6-1 as a freshman, one inch higher than his brother’s best, nary a taunting peep was uttered. “I like to stay humble,� Brad said. This season, the Cavanaughs have more often than not been the class of high jump competitions they enter. They both
have season bests of 6-2, achieved multiple times. Whoever wins on a given day, well, good for him. “It’s for the team, really,� Brian said. “We don’t care who wins it. We get points for the team, and it doesn’t really matter who wins.� Something that does matter to the Cavanaughs is the Polo school high jump record. It is 6-4, achieved by Mark Scholl in 1981. Helping the brothers in their quest to get their names in the record book is none other than Scholl himself. Scholl and the Cavanaughs’ father, Kurt, have been best friends since second grade. When the Cavanaugh brothers showed an interest in the high jump, Scholl became their volunteer coach. “I’ve known them both since they were born, saw them grow up,� Scholl said, “and it wouldn’t make me any prouder to have them break my record. It’s been there long enough, and if I can help them out, I’d be happy to do it.� Scholl works with the brothers on getting their approaches right, being consistent with steps, getting good acceleration with the jump and achieving a proper arc over the bar. It
doesn’t always work out. “I kind of chop a lot, and I do jump into the bar too, which doesn’t help my case,� Brad said. When Brian cleared 6-2 at the Rock Falls Invitational on April 25 and was the last jumper standing, he had the bar moved up to 6-4 1/4 in an attempt to break Scholl’s record. “I didn’t get too close, but it’s always in the back of my mind,� Brian said of those three failed attempts. “I want it, and so does Brad.� The high jump isn’t the only event in which the Cavanaughs excel. Brian was a state qualifier in the triple jump a year ago, with a personal best of 42-6. His best so far this season is 412, which is actually ahead of where he was at this point a year ago. The Cavanaugh brothers team with two Forreston athletes, Max Barkalow and Nathan Stukenberg, in the 400 relay. They have a season-best of 45.07. Brooks Grobe, who is rounding into shape after battling a hip injury, subs for Brian in the 800 relay, and that group has a top time of 1:34.55. Once the hybrid of Marco and Cardinal sprinters work out the kinks, according to

Brian, watch out. “We have to work together more,� Brian said. “Once we have a feel for each other’s handoffs and starts, we’re going to be deadly.� For Polo coach Ryan Deets, working with brothers is nothing new.
There are eight sets on this year’s team: the Cavanaughs, Ethan and Jesse Ditzler; Miguel and Juan Dominguez; Joe and Preston Stapleton; Matt and Clinton Merlak; Kevin and Matthew Cheeseman; Brooks and Brody Grobe; and Ethan and Jacob Cain.
Deets was an assistant coach when the Geary twins, Michael and Shane, were tearing up the track before graduating in 2012. “You always find that brothers push each other harder,� Deets said, “and they get the best out of each other by doing that.�

Sports Column Revisiting a column that drew comments By Andy Colbert Reporter
After being out of town last week, it was a nice to come back and hear about the Oregon girls track team nearly winning the Big Northern conference meet. Burlington Central won its 10th title in 11 years, but the Lady Hawks came within 91-85 of them. That’s a huge accomplishment for such a smallish squad and a case of the Oregon girls performing when it mattered the most. Foremost was the 14.98 in the 100 hurdles by Cydney Long, which ranks as the second best time in 1A this year. Long and thrower Shannon Cullen have provided the
nucleus and will both will contend for individual state titles. If there were a year for Oregon to make a push for a state trophy (and the first in any girls sport) at the IHSA meet, this would have been it. It won’t happen though. There is enough talent in the school to make a run, but some of those girls are not out for track. That’s a shame, but I respect any athlete’s right not to be out for a particular sport, be it track or anything. This Friday, the team has a chance to knock Byron off from its sectional perch. Like Burlington’s BNC domination, Byron will be going for a 10th title in 11 years. Byron edged Oregon to win the Ogle county meet and Oregon beat the Lady Tigers at the Oregon Invite. It will be an interesting watching the action unfold
to see if the Lady Hawks can put an exclamation point on their season by winning the sectional. Oregon did lose Hailey Long a couple weeks ago to an injury and maybe if she was in the line-up, they could have scraped up enough points to win the BNC. But, with the way BNC champs like jumper Sarah Lauer and Kelsey Pudlas, who improved nearly two feet in the pole vault as a late, have provided a supporting cast, anything is possible. *** In his part time, Oregon assistant football coach Steve has a company called American Iron, which provides strength-training equipment for sports teams. At a collegiate national strength and conditioning conference in Salt Lake last week, I met up with him after transporting his gear out and helped set up and tear down his booth at the show. A one-man operation, the 1992 Hawk graduate even fabricates the product himself. After lugging some of it around, I can tell you it’s
made from quality material by its sheer weight. What stood out most about the experience was seeing how much difference the collegiate sporting world is today, versus 20-30 years ago. It is like a mutant virus out of control. There is a spending frenzy and arms race between college sport programs, with football leading the parade, which appears to be unabated. Besides the show, we also went on a tour of the University of Utah athletic facilities and like other major campuses across the country; so much is new and shiny, and very expensive. It has too be, or else the recruits will go elsewhere. And, if the recruits don’t come, the coach gets fired, as the stakes keep getting higher and higher and money dictates everything. I know it wasn’t cheap for Steve to go all the way out in Utah to demonstrate his equipment, but with exorbitant college athletic budgets, it can be a lucrative market to tap into.

But, what is taking place in intercollegiate athletics sure seems contrary to what higher education is about. *** In regard to the column two weeks ago on underage drinking, a good friend called and said I left the wrong message by referring to alcohol as a “solution�. To him, it sounded like I was giving validation for young people to drink. The fact of the matter, though, is that alcohol can be a solution to get through life for some (not all) people. The real problem for them is trying to live life when the drinking is stopped. A person’s health, finances, legal problems, job/school standing, etc, will improve if drinking is stopped. However, those are outside circumstances and do not carry the same weight as how we feel on the inside. What if feelings of irritability, low self-esteem, resentment, selfishness, discontentment, remorse, social anxiety, restlessness, insecurity, etc, continue to rule our lives? In reality, that stuff becomes more pronounced without alcohol and therein lay the real problem. That is, why would people continue to drink if they
Andy Colbert know it will create (external) problems in their lives? Because it has become the solution to what ails them on the inside and how they feel on the inside is of far greater importance than any consequences caused by alcohol. This is especially true for underage drinkers who risk breaking the law to do it. That’s the power that alcohol can have. However, it isn’t the “real� solution, but rather a perceived solution. Perhaps, that’s where the confusion comes from and I apologize for any misunderstanding on word usage. There is only one solution to everything in life and from it stems a spiritual basis. The answer is always in spirituality.

June hearing set for woman charged with theft, fraud Pre-trial conf. is set for June 19 in Lee County By Vinde Wells Editor The trial of a former Oregon woman charged with theft and financial fraud has been rescheduled for the second time. A jury trial for Audrey (Stanley) Smith, 32, Dixon, was originally set to begin Jan.13, but Lee County Judge Ron Jacobson moved it to begin March 10 at a mid-December hearing. But at a hearing in late February, that trial date was stricken, and according to
court records no new one has been set. Smith is scheduled for a pre-trial conference on June 19. A Lee County Grand Jury indicted Smith March 6, 2013 on charges of theft, financial fraud, computer fraud, financial exploitation of an elderly person, and wire fraud. The case was investigated by the Illinois State Police. The state attorney general’s office is handling the prosecution. Smith, who has pleaded not guilty, is being represented in court by Sterling attorney James Fagerman. Court records say Smith made a series of withdrawals from an elderly woman’s
bank accounts and took out loans on the victim’s property. The charges involve accounts at Amcore and Midland States Banks, authorities said. Smith was manager of the Oregon branch of Rockfordbased Amcore Bank, which was sold to Effingham-based Midland States Bank in
January 2011. Court records don’t indicate whether the alleged crimes are related to Smith’s role as a bank employee. The bill of indictment accuses Smith of making withdrawals between Aug. 2, 2006 and April 15, 2010, from accounts held at Amcore and Midland States in the name of the victim, a
Dixon resident. The documents say Smith also took out a mortgage loan on the woman’s house and, as a result, obtained more than $100,000.
residential mortgage loan from Amcore Bank on property owned by the victim in the 800 block of North Ottawa Avenue.
The documents also say that in April of 2007, Smith, using the victim’s power of attorney but without her authority, took out a $55,000
According to the documents, in April of 2010 Smith transferred $1,855 from the woman’s bank account to Smith’s account without the victim’s consent.
Three Rockford residents were charged last week with a residential burglary near Stillman Valley. According to a press release from Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn, deputies arrested Curtis A. Clark, 32, Keisha M. Latham, 29, and
Melissa A. Salsbury, 41, on May 8 on warrants for residential burglary. They were arrested after Ogle County detectives, working with Winnebago County Sheriff’s Police, recovered stolen property from a vehicle occupied by
the three. The stolen property was taken April 8 during a burglary at a Hales Corner Road residence. Bond was set at $250,000 each. Salsbury remains in the Ogle County Jail. Latham and Clark are not
being held at the jail. According to the press release, detectives are investigating other residential burglaries in rural Stillman Valley and rural Monroe Center. Clark, Latham, and Salsbury are persons of interest in those investigations.
