The Forreston Village Board was scheduled to meet Tuesday night to conduct a regular meeting. Due to the Labor Day Holiday the meeting was moved from Monday to Tuesday night. An ordinance regulating parking of trucks and other vehicles within the village was on the agent for consideration and possible approval. The board has discussed parking restrictions on Oak Avenue north of the Depot. Semi-trailers parking along the road have prompted several complaints to village officials. Truck traffic on Plum Avenue is also being looked at. Another location with a proposed no parking area is by Warnken Park’s baseball field on Avon Street. The board also has an agenda item to consider a request from Jon Ludwig for a reduced water and sewer hookup fee for the two unit duplex being built at Village East Estates. Ludwig approached the board in August to see if there was a way to negotiate a lower rate for the hookup fee. Printing deadlines prevented a reporter from attending the meeting.
Services have been set for victims of Sept. 4 crash By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Two victims of a Sept. 4 crash south of Davis Junction will be laid to rest later this week. A memorial service for Emily Fleming, 17, Stillman Valley, will be held on Thursday, Sept. 10 at 6 p.m. at Stillman Valley High School where she was a senior. Funeral services for Andy Conderman, 64, Amboy are scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 12 at 11 a.m. at First United Methodist Church, Dixon. Both died as a result of a two-vehicle crash that occurred around 5 p.m. at the intersection Ill. 251 and Big Mound Road. According to a press release issued by Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle, Conderman was driving his pick-up truck south on Ill. 251 when it was struck by a car driven by Alison Seiler, 17, Stillman Valley. Seiler was westbound on Big Mound Road and failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection with Ill. 251, the press release said. Fleming and Carly Koenig, also 17, Stillman Valley, were passengers in Seiler’s car. The vehicles came to rest in a soybean field at the southwest corner of the intersection, where Conderman’s truck burst into flames. He was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. Ogle County Coroner Lou
Finch said an autopsy done on Tuesday indicated he died of blunt force trauma. Fleming was pronounced dead at the Rockford hospital where she was airlifted. Winnebago County Deputy Coroner Bill Hintz said an autopsy showed the preliminary cause of her death to be blunt force trauma. Koenig was airlifted to OSF St. Anthony Medical Center, Rockford, where she remains in serious condition. Seiler was transported by ambulance to a Rockford hospital, and has been released to recuperate at home. Ill. 251 from Holcomb Road to Ill. 72 was closed for several hours after the crash. All three teens are seniors at Stillman Valley High School. They are varsity cheerleaders and were headed to Stillman Valley’s football game versus Richmond Burton when the crash took place. The game was cancelled when school officials were alerted to the crash. Meridian (Stillman Valley) School Superintendent PJ Caposey said Monday that all athletic events in the district have been cancelled until Friday. He said 40 grief counselors from neighboring districts were at the high school Tuesday to meet with students when they returned for classes after the Labor Day weekend. He said Fleming was a leader and well-liked by

Open house for Reckmeyers Sept. 27 In honor of Warren Reckmeyer’s retirement as conductor of the Kable Concert Band, the Kable Band Board will host an open house for the Reckmeyers on Sunday, Sept. 27 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Mt. Morris Senior Center. Reckmeyer was conductor of the Kable Concert Band for 59 years. Through those years, he conducted the Kable Band in 10 concerts every summer,
plus concerts at the July 4 fireworks, and the band also participated in the July 4 parades. As band leader and music director at the Mt. Morris High School for 35 years, through Reckmeyer’s encouragement and instruction, many students went on to excel in the music field. Both Reckmeyer and his wife Carol not only contributed many years to the Kable Concert Band and
Mt. Morris High School, but were also an integral part of the community’s church music — both vocal and instrumental. They have shared their talent and love of music with the church, the school, and the whole community. At the Open House, a plaque will be awarded to Reckmeyer, naming the downtown band shell, the Warren G. Reckmeyer Band Shell.
The plaque will then be affixed to the band shell. Reckmeyer officially handed over the baton on July 29 to Andy Ekardt, who will continue to conduct the Kable Concert Band. All former students, band members, and community who have enjoyed summer night Kable Band Concerts are invited to come and share an afternoon of appreciation and reminiscing with the Reckmeyers.

Work through your grief at Serenity Shed When life is turned upside down by a loss, it’s time to start building a new normal. Everyone’s grief is unique and different people mourn in different ways. Some people do well working on projects while talking about the loss, while others do well building, working with their hands, or creating something beautiful and artistic. Anyone who has experienced a recent loss
or it has been a few years is invited to join in at the Serenity Shed in downtown Oregon (131 N. Third St. in the Data Spectrum building) on Mondays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Tuesdays from 6 to 8 p.m. The groups are going to work on small projects that benefit Serenity Hospice and Home while getting to know each other. “The Shed is that allpurpose center where you
can nourish your soul, have a cup of coffee and be creative,” said Lynn Knodle, executive director of Serenity Hospice and Home. “We are so excited about the positive reaction we are receiving from the community and we hope that anyone who would like to donate their time or who have experienced a recent or past loss will stop by and see just what the Shed is all about.” The Shed is also open
Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. They are also open on the first Monday and the third Thursday of each month from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. These groups are open to anyone dealing with the loss, recently or a while ago. Anyone well on the way down the road to a new normal is invited to volunteer. For more information or to volunteer call 815-732-2499.

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. Drug Take-Back Day has two main initiatives. 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. Woodstock
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 TakeBack is a one day event, residents are able to 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 agencies for more details.

Ag Director Phil Nelson is a 4-H supporter and was last year’s Illinois 4-H Foundation Alumni Award winner. “These long-time volunteers fully embody what 4-H strives to instill in youth,” Barnard said. “They are caring, dedicated, generous leaders, and the Illinois 4-H Foundation is extremely proud to be able to provide this honor to each and every one of them to thank them for their service to this wonderful organization.” The Illinois 4-H Foundation established the statewide Hall of Fame in 2004 to honor and celebrate extraordinary 4-H alumni, volunteers, and former 4-H staff. Nominations for the Illinois 4-H Hall of Fame are made by University of Illinois Extension staff. Each inductee received a commemorative Hall of Fame medallion.

Forreston Grove celebrating Sesquicentennial By Harlan Greenfield The Days of Yore - 150 Years Forreston Grove Church 1865-2015 In the mighty stream of immigration that flowed to America in the late 1840s and 1850s, many found their way to Forreston. The Germans who came for the most part were from the area of Ostfriesland. The Germans, as they arrived, found what they were looking for: opportunities, rich and fertile soil and reward for their labor. The farmers cleared and sowed the fruitful land and were rewarded with high yields that surprised them. In the midst of all the prosperity, they did not forget the thorough German religious training they had received in their homes from which they came. They were not satisfied with squeezing out a mere materialistic existence; they truly felt the need for spiritual guidance their daily lives. The village of Forreston was about 12 years old, the town was beginning to grow because of the railroad. The rural area was also being settled. The land had been surveyed in 1840 and laid out in one square mile sections. By 1865 much of the land had been purchased and occupied. Even though land was laid out in square mile sections, the roads as we know them today did not exist. The roads used then were only trails established by the Indians and later used by stagecoach and wagon travel. The roads and trails followed the ridges and high ground leading to and through groves of trees for reasons of protection and lodging. The groves protected the travelers from would-be thieves and aggressors. The grove provided a place of shelter, a place to camp, and provide wood for a fire. Many well-known groves were located in the surrounding area, including West Grove, North Grove, White Oak Grove, Chambers’ Grove, Buffalo Grove, Cranes’ Grove, and
Waddams’ Grove. The farm settlements of that time seemed scattered and sparse because of the location of the roads. Farm settlements and buildings were established and built near fresh water springs. The purpose was to provide the settlers with an adequate water source for drinking, washing, cooking, and cooling. The first farm buildings and residences constructed appeared as sod houses, cabins, and lean-to’s. They all had a temporary appearance. This was also the time when settlers did not have any new items or conveniences such as shiny grain bins and grain legs, dusk-to-dawnlights, tractors, cars, trucks, or airplane sounds. At the time they did not have telephones, sewing machines, or washing machines. Fruits and vegetables were not available in cans at a store. Settlers also did not have the convenience of running water or inside toilets. Farm implements were few as many hadn’t been invented yet. The wives, like the women inProverbs, clothed their families with the work of their hands. The husbands, by the strength of their backs and the sweat of their brow, tilled the soil with hand tools. As our ancestors toiled and struggled with local issues, there were national issues of grave concern. Abraham Lincoln was elected President of the United States in 1861 and served until 1865. This was also the time of the Civil War that plagued America, splitting the North and the South. Many young men from the Forreston area left home to fight the war for the Union Army. The war lasted four years and ended on April 9, 1865. The Civil War had its effect on the people who were organizing Forreston Grove Church. Parents and friends of the church had great concerns for the wellbeing and safety of five young men fighting in the war. John Frederick, John Calvin, and Jacob Abels

were the sons of Harm Abels. John B. Alberts was the son of Ben Alberts, Jacob Kiewiet was the son of John Kiewiet. All five remained safe and returned to their homes and families. They became part of Forreston Grove Church and remained in the area for some time. John Frederick Abels and Jacob Abels married and moved to Grundy Çenter, Iowa. Jacob Liewiet married and moved to Holland, Iowa. John Calvin Abels and John B. Alberts also married and remained in the area and later became Elders in the Church. Approximately 620,000 soldiers died during the war, almost as many as the combined American dead of all other wars from the Revolutionary War (17751783) through the Vietnam War (1967-1975). The Union Army lost 360,000 troops and the Confederates lost 260,000 troops. More than half the deaths were caused by disease. About one-third of all Southern soldiers died in war compared to about one-sixth of all the Northern soldiers. Both the North and South paid an enormous economic price, especially in the South. The destruction from the Shenandoah Valley to Georgia and South Carolina to Tennessee was enormous. The surrender of General Lee to General Grant was signed on April 9, 1865. Within days of signing the surrender and the ink was barely dry, President Lincoln was shot on April 15, 1865. Can you imagine the total joy followed by the extreme shock and sorrow that was experienced in six days? I remember the extreme joy in our community when WWII ended in 1945. I also remember the extreme shock and sorrow when President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 and how both events affected our community and nation. In spite of these events and distractions, our ancestors established the church that we celebrate today. The first church and manse were constructed in 1866, both were small in
stature and resembled cabins as was the custom of the day. The buildings were built to meet their immediate needs and served the congregation for more than 25 years. The ultimate goal was to construct a spacious church edifice with a tall steeple, and a manse to compliment the Church. It is interesting to note that a pastor in the area was hired in the 1870’s for an annual salary of $500, 18 bushels of wheat and five tons of coal. Records have shown that this was a common wage for a rural preacher of that day. In 1889, their goals became a reality. A spacious church building was constructed with a tall steeple reaching skyward 100 feet from the ground to the top of the steeple. The church could now be seen for miles around as a testimony and witness to God. The steeple pointing to Heaven reminded believers of Almighty God and their eternal reward. In 1903, a new manse was constructed, 14 years after the church was completed. Both buildings were known and described as the finest buildings of the day. The church facility of 1889 provided the Forreston Grove Congregation with 64 years of wonderful and joyous worship. In 1953 the church was destroyed by fire. As a result of the fire, the grove of trees located between the church and the manse was completely destroyed, The remains of the beautiful grove of trees were removed and replaced by the new church. Thus, the grove for which the church was named no longer existed. A new church was constructed and dedicated in 1956 and is the present church. The manse was home to ministers for 72 years, In 1976 the manse was sold and moved to a new location and replaced by the present manse and dedicated in 1977. With the arrival of 2015 and 150 years passing, we look back to seethe foundation that was laid both deep and lasting. I am thankful to the Lord for giving me many years

and He has allowed me to see a large picture, I didn’t say the whole picture. The large picture shows me the Divine Providence of God and how He led, guided, and directed our church families to America and to Forreston Grove Church. Today the beauty of the Forreston Grove Church stands on a hill, its steeple rising in the air toward Heaven and visible for miles.
May it continue to be a landmark, with great praise to God. Let us also give thanks for the faithfulness of those who have gone before us. May we and those who follow, be also faithful. As we experience and pass another milestone, may the foundation of “Our Faith” in which we believe and teach continue until the Lord comes again.
New book published Forreston author Vicki Petta has published a second book. Petta, who writes under the pseudonym V. Schroeder, said that some actual events in her life that happened when she was a teenager to being an adult inspired her to write “Come Back, Joe-Jo: Shining a Light on Life,” a novel about the realities of life on the farm during the 1960s. Petta’s first book “Eleven Broken Pencils” was published last year. Her new book tells the story of Judy Turner, a young farm girl who faces many losses and is relying on her wise father to make sense of it all. When an indescribable loss hits the entire Turner family, grief takes hold with the strength to destroy them. New ways of coping
that are unfamiliar to them become their only hope of living through the heartache. Always relying on her father’s wisdom, the time comes for him to use her cue to live through his deepest heartache. This novel, loosely taken from actual events, takes readers from the world of a 14-year-old to an adult. Many woes and joys in her life are exposed and dealt with. “This book tells of a continuous struggle of growing up and accepting what life has to teach each young person and older person alike,” Petta said. “It hopefully teaches readers how important family life is and that life is not without painful encounters. There is help for coping and hope for living.”

We Remember Those We Lost
9.11.01 Honoring Those Impacted By September 11 September 11, 2001, is a day permanently etched in history. 9-11 carries profound meaning for many people and stands in infamy along with events like Pearl Harbor and the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. The attacks on 9-11 resulted in a total of 2,996 fatalities. Among those were the victims on the four planes, civilians working in the towers and on the ground, military personnel and civilians in the Pentagon, and first-responders to the scenes. It is believed that at least 200 people in the World Trade Center fell or jumped to their deaths from the burning towers because rescue was improbable at or above points of impact on the towers. Along with the World Trade Center primary towers, many other buildings in the area were destroyed or bad-
ly damaged from the attack. Many buildings were condemned. The Pentagon suffered serious damage as well. Thousands of first responders and civilians entered the affected buildings to search for or help people exit the carnage. As of 2010, it is believed that more than 800 of these responders have also died, some say from illnesses related to their heroic efforts. While the world is quick to focus on the extensive damage and loss of life that ensued as a result of this terrible day, it also is important to focus on the survivors and those who risked their own lives to save people from burning and collapsing buildings. There are a number of ways to honor the legacy of these brave people. * Establish a memorial at your home, in a neighborhood park or at a place of worship.
While many memorials exist, there is certainly room for more memorials devoted to the heroes of September 11. * Host a family get-together on or around September 11. Celebrate the life of those people who were lost on that day and focus on the positive memories. * Initiate a scholarship fund in memory of a lost relative or friend. Many businesses or even the place of employment of the deceased may be willing to contribute money to the effort. This way the individual's name will live on and be associated with something positive for years to come. * Volunteer time at a firehouse in the area or with an EMT unit. Volunteer EMTs and fire fighters are in short supply. Becoming a part of one of these units enables people to help others. * Survivors can share
their stories with school children or others, imparting knowledge about the events as they unfolded. This is a strong lesson in American history and bravery. * Make a donation to a charity that offers financial support to those impacted by the events of 9-11. Be sure to check out the charity to ensure that funds are appropriated properly. * Plan a visit to downtown New York City to see the progress that has been made in rebuilding the area, and visit the memorial that has opened to honor those who lost their lives. While September 11, 2001, will live in infamy as a traumatic and horrific moment in American history, people can focus on the positive aspect of the heroes and find ways to honor their memories.
14 Years Later… WE REMEMBER SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
Home of the Brave
Over a decade has passed since the terrorist attacks of September 11 shocked our nation and the world, forever changing so many lives and the course of history. We will never forget!
SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 in memory of all those who were taken from us on that terrible day.
It shows amazing courage to run headfirst into a life-threatening situation when common sense says otherwise. Yet on 9-11 that’s exactly what hundreds of brave officers and firefighters did. They held true to their duty to protect and rescue their fellow citizens, and many heroically sacrificed their lives in the process. To police officers and firefighters everywhere, you have our eternal gratitude.

We Remember Those We Lost
9.11.01 The National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial Pentagon Memorial The 184 souls lost in the terrorist attack at the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, when hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon, were mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, children, brothers, sisters, coworkers, flight crew, friends, patriots. The Pentagon Memorial captures that moment in time at 9:37 a.m. when 184 lives became intertwined for eternity. Each victim’s age and location at the time of the attack have been permanently inscribed into the Memorial by the unique placement and direction of each of the 184 Memorial Units. Elegant and simple, the Pentagon Memorial serves as a timeline of the victims’ ages, spanning from the youngest victim, three-year-old Dana Falkenberg, who was on board American Airlines Flight 77, to the oldest, John D. Yamnicky, 71, a Navy veteran, also aboard Flight 77 that morning. The Pentagon Memorial Gateway The 184 Memorial Units within the Pentagon Memorial are
located on the age line according to the year the victim was born. The age lines, denoted by stainless steel strips that cross the Memorial, begin at the zero line, which spans from the Gateway to the entrance of the Memorial. Etched into the granite zero line is the date and time of the attack: “SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 9:37 A.M.” Visitors to the Memorial may look up a victim’s name and birth year on the locator stone within the Pentagon Memorial Gateway. On age lines with multiple victims, the Memorial Units are organized by birth date along that line. The Memorial Units Each Memorial Unit is a cantilevered bench, a lighted pool of flowing water, and a permanent tribute, by name, to each victim, in one single element. Each memorial bench is made of stainless steel and inlaid with smooth granite. Each Memorial Unit contains a pool of water, reflecting light in the evenings onto the bench and surrounding gravel field. Each Memorial Unit is also specifically positioned in the
Memorial to distinguish victims who were in the Pentagon from those who were on board American Airlines Flight 77. At the 125 Memorial Units honoring the victims of the Pentagon, visitors see the victim’s name and the Pentagon in the same view. At the Memorial Units honoring the 59 lives lost on Flight 77, the visitor sees the victim’s name and the direction of the plane’s approach in the same view. Victims from the same family are linked by a plaque at the end of the pool of water, which lists their family members who also died in the attack, forever binding the family together.
The Pentagon Memorial Landscape Within the Pentagon Memorial, 85 Crape Myrtle trees are clustered around the Memorial Units, but are not dedicated to any one victim. These trees will grow up to 30 feet to provide a canopy of shade over the Memorial for years to come. The Memorial’s stabilized gravel surface is bordered on the western edge by an Age Wall. The Age Wall grows one inch per year in height above the perimeter bench relative to the age lines. As visitors move through the
Memorial, the wall gets higher, growing from three inches (the age of Dana Falkenberg) to 71 inches (the age of John D. Yamnicky). The Age Wall draws the eye to the Memorial for drivers passing by on Washington Boulevard and the adjacent Arlington County Bike Path, while ensuring solitude for visitors. Ornamental grasses mark the boundaries of the Memorial. The Pentagon Memorial design was developed by Julie Beckman and Keith Kaseman. Their vision for the Memorial
was selected from more than 1,100 submissions by a panel of architects, family members, and public figures in the Washington, D.C., area, including two former Secretaries of Defense. The Pentagon Memorial is the first national memorial dedicated to the horrific events that unfolded on Sept. 11, 2001 – events that claimed 184 lives at the Pentagon, and thousands more around the United States. The Pentagon Memorial is also dedicated to future generations that they might reflect upon and renew their faith in shared American values.
A Tribute to Our Heroes On this day and every day, let’s not forget the important role emergency rescue personnel play in helping and protecting our communities. Their courage and strength make us proud to be Americans.

Man wants action from village board By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com A Mt. Morris man would like the village board to take action about the former printing plant next door to his home. In fact, Chris Corcoran has put up a sign to that effect in his front yard at 202 Sunset Lane, just west of the former Quad Graphics plant. “Old printing plant is eyesore to neighborhood. Village board needs to act on it,” the hot pink lettering on the four by eight-foot signs reads. Corcoran has addressed the village board several times, voicing his concern that the nearly abandoned plant is deteriorating and poses safety and environmental hazards, violates building codes and weed ordinances, exposes citizens to a liability, and reduces property values in the community. He reiterated his concerns on Tuesday, citing a large hole in one wall that has pipes hanging down and weeds growing on the property. “I want that section all cleaned up,” Corcoran said. “And I want the weeds cut. They need to respect the neighborhood. The rest of
the neighbors keep their properties up.” Youngsters riding their bicycles into the property has been one of Corcoran’s main concerns. “There’s rerod sticking up back there, and I’m afraid one of those kids will get impaled on it,” he said. “Someone is going to get killed back there.” The tall chain link fence surrounds the property, but until recently the gate was left open. The gate was closed and locked to keep the uninnvited out. However, Corcoran is less than impressed. “Those kids are going to climb the fence and get in there anyway,” he said. He is also worried that wildlife, such as raccoons, will take up residence in the empty plant and become a nuisance in the neighborhood. Quad Graphics ceased operations at the plant on May 13, 2011, ending 113 years as a printing facility. For decades the printing plant was the village’s largest employer, at one time providing jobs for more than 2,000 people. The business, originally called Kable Brothers Printing, was founded in
1898 by twin brothers Harvey and Harry Kable. According to records on file at the Ogle County Clerk and Recorder’s office, the plant was purchased on Feb. 21, 2013 by Mt. Morris Business Park LLC, Downey, California. Quad Graphics currently leases the sprawling plant and uses it as a warehouse to store equipment. Mt. Morris Village President Dan Elsasser said Tuesday that the issue will be on the agenda for the Sept. 8 village board meeting. He quickly pointed out that despite the name of the plant owners, the village is not involved in the plant’s ownership in any way. “It has nothing to do with the Village of Mt. Morris,” he said. Corcoran’s concerns are not being ignored, he said. “It’s a touchy situation. The plant is within the village limits, but it is private property,” he said. Although he has not inspected the property for himself, Elsasser said he has been in contact with facility manager Jeff Warren, one of two Quad Graphics employees still at the plant, as well as the plant’s owners. “The village has ordinances for maintenance,
upkeep, and safety issues,” Elsasser said. “We can notify owners when they are in violation of an ordinance, but it’s still up to the owner to take care of it.” In some cases, the village has cleaned up vacant properties and then billed the responsible party, he said. “It appears to be vacant but technically it’s not,” Elsasser said. The village has not taken legal action at this point, he said, preferring instead to work with the owners to resolve the issues. A large air filtering device was removed from the plant on Aug. 28. A crew with a heavy-duty crane lifted a regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) from the rooftop and loaded it onto a flatbed trailer. Warren said the RTO, which filtered the fumes from the presses, was sold by Quad Graphics to the TANN Corporation, Kaukauna, Wisconsin, for resale to another facility. The RTO was required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Warren said. Workers cut the device in half and lifted it off the building in two pieces due to its weight, he said.

Max Barkalow makes roster A Forreston graduate has been named a member of the Central College football team for the 2015 season as a freshman. Max Barkalow, a standout running back for the Cardinals IHSA 1A championship run decided to attend Central College in Pella, Iowa, after graduating from Forreston in May. Central has captured a record 30 Iowa Conference championships with 20 NCAA Division III playoff berths, including 17 in the past 28 years. The Dutch have not
had a losing season since 1960. Central is the thirdwinningest NCAA football team since 1975 (.800). Coach Jeff McMartin has an 87-29 (.750) record, and is in his 12th season for Central. He is joined by Eastland’s Donny Groezinger who is a defensive back. Groezinger was also on a championship team last season in 2A. Other former Northwest Upstate Illini Conference players on the Central roster include Stockton’s Jordan Fox and Thomas Fox.

Marcos shut out Durand 50-0 By Rob Laird In a game like this, it’s important for a team not to get lazy and take a step backward. Well, in Polo’s 50-0 victory over an overmatched Durand, the first backward step the Marcos’ offense took occurred when regular tight end Wyatt Patterson lined up behind center to take a kneel to run out the final minute of
a dominant first half. Polo continued its 2015 season-opening blitzkrieg, pouring on 50 points in the first half, including a fourplay stretch in which the Marcos (2-0, 1-0 Northwest Upstate Illini – Upstate) scored three touchdowns. Polo has outscored opponents 111-0 through 2 weeks. Senior Brad Cavanaugh says the impressive showings
are due to an all-around excellence boasted by the squad. “Everyone’s so fast, and we have good blockers who actually block,” said Cavanaugh. “They just open everything up and create big running lanes for us. We have so much talent with both our backs and our line.” Cavanaugh had two touchdowns, including a dazzling 80-yard punt

return for a touchdown run that featured several broken tackles along his way down the left sideline that gave the Marcos a 29-0 with the game still in the first quarter. The ease with which the Marcos’ high-powered offense has cut through defenses will soon be tested, however, as the schedule begins to ratchet up in difficulty immediately. Next up for the Marcos is Stockton (2-0), which romped past River Ridge in a manner much similar to Polo’s 61-point victory in Week 1. After taking on Stockton, defending state champion Eastland-Pearl City awaits the Marcos. Against Durand, though, it didn’t matter who touched the ball; yards were going to be gained. Six different ball carriers picked up gains of 12 yards or more in the first half, including touchdown runs of 13, 12, 29, and 39 by Dylan Beers, Brody Grobe (twice), and Jesse Ditzler, respectively. Grobe’s 29-yard score came on the game’s third play. Then, immediately following a fumble on the Bulldog’s second play from scrimmage, Beers rumbled in from 13 yards out, and the onslaught was on.

Polo golfers pick up conference win The Marcos traveled to Wolf Hollow Sept. 2 to take on Lena Winslow. Polo had several golfers finish with great scores. Christopher Rademacher and Brix Clayton each had rounds of 42 to take the honors for the low round of the day. Mack Llanas and Tristin Woodin each had rounds of 44 for the runner up spots. Trevin Woodin was only one stroke behind that with
a 45. Matt Coffman rounded out the scores for the Marcos with a 55. Polo earned the victory 172-309. Le-Win’s best score of the day was a 62 posted by Jake Fox. The win brings Polo’s record for the season to 4-0 in conference and 4-1 overall. The JV team golfed but Le-Win did not field a team during the match.
Lady Cardinals finished 10th at Oregon Tournament Oregon earned third place
A tough volleyball tournament was hosted by the Lady Hawks last week and Oregon emerged in third place while Eastland went undefeated to claim the tournament title. Sixteen teams competed at the Oregon Varsity Volleyball Invitational Sept. 4-5 Oregon was in the red pool and started off with a 25-12, 21-25, 15-10 victory over Pearl City. In their second match of the tournament the Lady Hawks easily handled Woodstock North in two games 25-11, 25-10. The third match saw Oregon in a tough trio of games against Freeport Aquin. Oregon lost the first game 23-25 and edged out Aquin 25-23 in the second game. The Lady Hawks finished off Aquin with a 1510 win in the third game. With the wins Oregon was set to take on Eastland
in the championship bracket Saturday. Eastland held the Lady Hawks in check and won the match 17-25-15-25. Oregon then took on Dakota in the third place match. Oregon picked up the win in two games 25-20, 25-16. The all-tournament team was announced at the end of the event. Eastland’s MaKenzie Fink and MacKenzie Doubler were named to the team along with Oregon’s Breanna Cullen and Sommer Rhea and Pearl City’s Tori Clark. The Forreston Lady Cardinals also competed in the tournament and finished in 10th place. They opened the tournament with a win over Stillman Valley 25-15, 1518. Forreston then lost to Erie in two close games 2523, 25-21.

from the event comes from sponsor donations and golf contributions, and the event is a day of fun to raise money for a valuable cause.

The Forreston football team traveled to Galena Friday night and shocked Galena with a 32-29 victory. Galena was hailed as one of the best teams in 1A football. Galena scored first on a passing play to go up 7-0. Gavin Fuchs pounded the ball in on a 5-yard rush and brought the Cardinals to 7-6. The extra point was no good.
Both teams scored twice in the second quarter. Forreston’s Anthony Christensen had a 98 yard kickoff return for a touchdown in response to a Galena score. Matt Akins added a touchdown on a short 1 yard rush. In the third quarter Logan Rogers had a 16 yard touchdown run and Akins added another touchdown run in the fourth.
Sports Column Big, big win for the Cardinals By Andy Colbert Reporter
So much to write about, so little space. Big, big win for Forreston over Galena, the No. 1 team in 1A football. Who saw this coming? I didn’t, especially after seeing Galena giving Forreston all they could handle in the 2014 state semifinals and bringing most of those players back, while the Cardinals lost the bulk of their squad. In pre-season comments, Denny Diduch said his team would go into every game
expecting to win. Apparently, that wasn’t idle coach-speak. He meant it and the footballers aren’t backing down from anyone either. This will be another big one this week for Forreston against Dakota in the ubercompetitive Northwest division of the NUIC. After years of debate over where the best small school football in played in Illinois, the rest of the state has finally come to terms with the NUIC being the absolute best 1A league. On the Upstate side, it will be Polo traveling to Stockton for the conference title. The Marcos should continue its high-flying ways against Stockton on its
way to an unbeaten regular season. Polo needs to be tested and this might the only game all year that happens. Unlike Forreston, defending state champ EPC is a shell of themselves and won’t present a much of a challenge to the Marcos, nor will the remaining teams on the schedule. Though I would love to be at Forreston for the Dakota clash, it’s off to watch my first-ever game at Stockton. Looking forward to that, along with viewing the type of speed rarely seen in 1A, as the explosive Marcos take the field. In an interesting attempt to invigorate its football program, Rock Falls (37-

It wasn’t for the foresight of the local citizens and planning by the park district a few short decades ago, none of this would have been possible. On top of all this is an economic boost via youth sports tourism, a by-product that planners may never envisioned.

sticks out to me. He’s been at it as diligently as any other person. It is definitely paying off this year on the gridiron and will continue into wrestling and discus throwing. Every school needs more hard workers like John. As I left the big Oregon cross country meet on Saturday, I thought about the impact the Oregon Park District has made on hosting high school sporting events. No only were 625 competitors involved in the meet at Park West, but afterwards, many of the junior high runners were frolicking in the popular Splash Canyon water park on site, as a means of cooling off. Coaches from other schools have commented how much Park West reminds them of real crosscountry course, because of its layout. Just as the meet was winding down, several high school soccer teams began to arrive to play on the many fields available for a

After a 50-8 loss to Marengo, a very telling quote from one the players indicated that some players don’t want to come to practice nor pay attention to what the coaches have to share. After putting a physical beating on a decent North Boone team, Oregon should go to 2-1, as they travel to Rock Falls. Hopefully, lineman Matt Crandall will be able to return to the lineup for the following week against Dixon. That would be a huge boost, not just in having a three-year starter on hand, but in much-needed depth against the 40-man Duke roster.

Woman and girl bitten by dog in Oregon on Sept. 5 By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com An Oregon woman and her 8-year-old neighbor suffered bites Sept. 5 when they were attacked by a neighborhood dog. Oregon Police Chief Darin DeHaan said Kathleen Wilson, 64, 508 S. Fourth St., was attacked by the shepherd mix, and Gabriella Fuentes, 8, was bitten when she and her mother Megan came to Wilson’s rescue. The dog, named Tank, belongs to Anthony and April Breeden, who live nearby, DeHaan said. Wilson was transported by Oregon ambulance to OSF St. Anthony Medical Center, Rockford, where she got stitches to close several bite wounds. “I’m not badly hurt, but I’m pretty shaken up,” she said Tuesday.
Wilson said she had been out in her yard Saturday evening and as she walked back toward her house, the dog got out under the fence he was inside, ran up, and bit her in the back of the leg. She fell down on the sidewalk, and when she tried to protect herself she was bitten several times on the arm and hands. “I was yelling for help the whole time,” she said. Megan and Gabriella heard her cries for help and went to assist, Wilson said. The dog then bit Gabriella on the arm, DeHaan said. Megan scared the dog away by shouting at it, Wilson said. Wilson said the dog’s owners came outside and called the dog. Besides the bites, Wilson said she is bruised and sore from the fall. DeHaan said the dog was taken to Pines Meadow Veterinary Clinic for
quarantine, and he and Ogle County Animal Control officials are reviewing the case. He said he is unaware of any other incidents involving the dog. City ordinances stipulate that a dog, under certain circumstances, may be declared dangerous or vicious. If it’s declared vicious it can be designated (subject to euthanasia). If it is not designated to be euthanized, the owner is required to take several steps to assure the dog does not have access to the public. The steps include but are not limited to keeping it in a secured enclosure, keeping it on a leash and muzzle if it is outside, posting the owner’s property with a warning sign that a vicious dog lives there, notifying utility companies as well as the U.S. Post Office, and providing $250,000 in liability insurance coverage.
