Home destroyed by fire Sept. 30 Cause has not been determined By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The cause was not yet determined late last week of a fire that destroyed a home southeast of German Valley. German Valley Fire Chief Eric Bruning said Saturday that fire officials are still investigating what caused the fire that destroyed the home of Robert Guthrie at 9440 W. Brush Rd. on Sept. 30. He said the blaze apparently started in materials in the front room, but would not specify what
the materials were. The fire was called in by a passerby who saw the flames around 3 p.m., Bruning said. No one was at home at the time. A whole section of the story and a half house and its attached garage were on fire when firefighters arrived. “It was pretty well engulfed,” Bruning said. Fire departments assisting at the scene included Mt. Morris, Forreston, Leaf River, Byron, Shannon, Pecatonica, Winn-Bur-Sew, Rock City, Davis, Dakota, and Freeport Rural. The German Valley and Freeport Rural ambulances, and Ogle County Sheriff’s Department also assisted at German Valley firefighters put water on the last embers of a fire that destroyed the home of Robert Guthrie, 9440 W. Brush Rd., on Sept. 30. Photo by Vinde Wells the scene.
Mechanical issues for squad car By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com A squad car plagued with mechanical issues may be replaced by the Forreston Village Board. The board discussed the squad car, which was in for repairs during Monday’s board meeting. “The squad car is not working well at the present time,” said village president German Valley firefighters put water on the last embers Michael Harn. of a fire that destroyed the home of Robert Guthrie, 9440 He said police chief Mike W. Brush Rd., on Sept. 30. Photo by Vinde Wells Boomgarden is exploring
the costs of replacing the squad and prices will be available by the next board meeting. “We can have a committee meeting to discuss this,” said Harn. Over the past several months the car has been at a dealership receiving service numerous times. With the history of problems with this squad, Harn said the trade in value of the car would be lower. No action was taken and the board plans to discuss the squad car during a future
board meeting. The village has a back up squad car that is being used. In other business the board approved a $115,000 payment for the wastewater treatment plant project. The village approved a $2.8 million loan for improvements to the plant in 2014. The loan is being used to upgrade and expand its existing wastewater treatment plant. The project will allow the village to maintain compliance with discharge limits and
provide the capacity to treat all existing and future flows that reach the plant. This enables the village to comply with more stringent discharge limits, which will result in cleaner area waterways. The upgrades will include a new box screening and grit removal building, new equipment, repairs to existing tanks, and a new clarifier to increase the plant’s capacity. The plan to upgrade the wastewater treatment plant was approved last July.
45th Autumn on Parade rings in another success By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com From the Food Court and Farmers Market to the Harvest Time Parade, festival organizers deemed this weekend’s Autumn on Parade a rousing success. “I think it was a success. It went very well,” said AOP President Marseyne Snow. “Even though it was cloudy part of the time, people seemed to enjoy themselves.” Snow said Sunday’s parade had 124 units, many of which were based on the festival theme of Flashback to the 1970s. “We had 130 signed up, but we did have a few noshows,” Snow said. The downtown streets were packed elbow-to-elbow with people watching the parade and cheering enthusiastically for their favorite entries. The 5k run Sunday morning drew 531 participants - 100 more than last year. Back downtown, vendors appeared to leave the festival happy. Food Court Chairman Ray Farrey said most booths there sold out before the festival was over. “Cliff Jones made 500
dozen cider donuts Saturday, and had to turn people away when he ran out around 4 in the afternoon,” Farrey said. Jones provides donuts for the Oregon Masonic Lodge’s food booth. The Ogle County Beef Producers sold 800 sandwiches on Saturday, and were out of food by 2 p.m. on Sunday, Farrey said. He listed off several more vendors who found themselves in the same situation. Farrey said he believes the cool weather, in the upper 50s, played a big part. “It was an ideal weekend for the Food Court,” he said. “It was cooler so people were eating rather than just getting soft drinks. The crowd was bigger, too, this year.” Farmers Market Chairman Dave Boehle said the 189 booths at this year’s festival may be the most ever. “They all seemed to be really pleased with their sales,” he said. “We heard nothing but positives.” One vendor took a chance and drove 340 miles to display her wares.

Clerk Susie Corbitt said Polo currently uses the 2006 version of the ICC code book. Manheim said the committee working on the regional building code hopes to have it approved by all affected areas by the end of December. Training on the 2015 ICC code will be offered to builders in the areas that adopt it in coming months, Pieri said. The training sessions will be held in Dixon, Rockford, and DeKalb for convenience, he said.

codes, Illinois has not, he said. “In the State of Illinois, every community can have its own building code. That’s very problematic,� Pieri said. A uniform code means a builder would follow the same standards no matter where the project is located, rather than having different requirements in each community or county. He said the building codes establish standards for construction. “They ensure you have a safe building,� he said. Pieri said 35 communities in nine counties in north Illinois are being approached to adopt the ICC code. “We’re trying to build a consortium of several communities working together,� he said. Alderman Randy Schoon said he sees value in the plan. “I can certainly see where it would be an advantage to

Festival brought out the shoppers From A1 whirligigs, and small garden signs. She makes them by hand with her husband. “I do all the welding on these spinners,” she said. “They ride on stainless steal bearings and will spin easy.” When they first go in a garden the silver from the stainless steel is bright and shiny and shows some darker spots from the welding. In less then a year the creations come alive. “They will naturally rust and patina,” said Hanson. Throughout the festival, shoppers were spotted carrying the spinners through the farmer’s market. The festival also provided a time to see the community where Hanson’s mother was raised. “I decided to give this festival a try,” she said. Another vendor was selling small barn quilts and had a shorter drive to attend the farmer’s market, just 24 miles. Lori Blask owns Baileyville Barn Quilts and had a variety of small ones for sale this year. The boards ranged in size from small 12 inch squares to 3 foot square quilts. “Barn quilts can hang on the house, barn, shed, or garage,” said Blask. “They are popular in Wisconsin where you see the larger barn quilts.” In keeping with the festival theme, Elvis fans got a chance Sunday to sway and sing along with “The King.” Elvis impersonator Chris
Corcoran, Mt. Morris, belted out favorites like “Blue Christmas” and “Blue Suede Shoes” to the delight of the cheering crowd. Kali Aluli, Oregon, danced to the music, holding his 4-year-old granddaughter. “We came to support Chris,” he said. “He’s fabulous - he has a great voice.” Across the Rock River at Oregon Park East, horse power was the focus on Saturday. Run by Focus House, the annual AOP Auto Classic brought 175 rides from vintage 1930s cars to modern muscle cars. Jim Dunham, Elmhurst, brought one of the rarest cars in the country to the show. His 1939 Graham Coupe is one of 12 registered in the county. “We think there are only 20 of these cars,” said Dunham. “I belong to Graham International and there are 12 registered cars. It is a very rare car.” Dunham thinks that there may be other examples of the Vendor Liz Hanson traveled 340 miles from Mercer Wisconsin to exhibit her homemade whirligigs at the farmer’s car waiting to be discovered. market.

This coupe received a full two-year restoration and was modified to be more of a hotrod style while retaining most of the stylings and feel of the original car. The work was completed shortly before Dunham purchased the car four years ago. Chris Johnson contributed to this story.
Donations needed for turkey dinner The food pantry at the New Life Community Center in downtown Forreston seeking donations to help pay for Thanksgiving food boxes. Currently orders are being taken for Thanksgiving meal boxes. The meal boxes, made possible in partnership with Northern Illinois Food Bank, contain a turkey, potatoes, stuffing, gravy, canned fruit and vegetables, coffee and dessert – enough to feed a family of eight. A $16 donation will allow the pantry to provide a local family the opportunity to enjoy a traditional holiday meal with their family. Last year the pantry provided more than 80
Thanksgiving boxes to Forreston area families. The food pantry at the center, at 205 Main St., serves more than 80 families (to include 285 people) per month. Funding comes from local businesses, churches, and individuals in the community. The center is open on Tuesday and Saturday from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Food donations can be dropped off at the center or at Koeller’s Forreston Hardware.

Ogle County Master Gardener receives recognition University of Illinois Extension Ogle County Master Gardener Kathy Michel received state recognition for Outstanding Master Gardener award at the 2015 Illinois Master Gardener Award ceremony held on Sept. 18. The Outstanding Master Gardener Award was established to honor the best of Illinois Master Gardeners. Each person receiving this award is an exceptional example to Master Gardeners locally and throughout the state. Since becoming a University of Illinois Extension Master Gardener in 2007, Michel has been a dedicated, reliable, and tireless volunteer for the Ogle County Master Gardener program. She has exhibited enthusiasm for all activities related to the Master Gardener mission of “Helping Others Learn to Grow.” Michel is involved in many of the Ogle County Master Gardener programs, including speaker’s bureau, plant sale
and Extension’s one day garden symposium – Ready, Set, Grow. She spends many hours preparing for her presentations and helps others with their presentations as well. Michel especially shines as a mentor to new trainees. Deb Bryant shares, “As a Master Gardener intern, I have found Kathy to be patient, kind, and helpful to me every step of the way. She takes the time to teach me the ins and outs of presentations. Each time I am with Kathy, I am impressed with her vast horticulture knowledge, coupled with her genuine kindness and compassion for all.” Michel’s involvement exceeds all else as the driving force behind a Horticulture Therapy program which began in July 2014. Her compassion and desire to share her horticulture knowledge is what led her to propose a yearround therapeutic horticulture program in the area. Michel took the initiative to research other therapeutic
horticulture programs and meet with directors of local facilities to host these programs; beginning in July 2014, the Ogle County Master Gardeners have been visiting with Pinecrest Community, Oregon Living and Rehabilitation and the Village of Progress once each month to share a horticulture lesson and do an activity, ranging from planting gardens to floral design. Michel is a truly dedicated volunteer who is not only an excellent mentor to new Master Gardener trainees, but is also a wonderful role model for her Master Gardener peers and community members. Michel is a life-long learner and encourages others to do the same. She is constantly expanding her knowledge through various trainings, such as the ‘I Think Green’ trainings, and is eager to share her knowledge and passion for gardening with others. University of Illinois Extension congratulates Kathy Michel and appreciates the
thousands of hours Master Gardener volunteers contribute to our community. The service the Master Gardeners share positively impacts communities and individuals throughout Illinois. Anyone who has been helped by Master Gardeners and would like to serve their community through this unique horticultural education program can now give back to others. In 2016, Master Gardener training will be held in DeKalb County and Whiteside County. DeKalb County training will be held at the DeKalb County Farm Bureau building in Sycamore every Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. from Feb. 17 through May 4. Whiteside County training will be held at the Whiteside County Extension office in Sterling every Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon starting from Jan. 9 through April 16.

their families always receive compassionate, knowledgeable care.” According to the institution, 1.6 million people in the United States received services from hospice in 2014. Hospice is considered the model for quality compassionate care for people facing life-limiting illnesses and they provide expert medical care, pain management and emotional and spiritual support expressly tailored for the patient’s needs and wishes. Hospice also provides support and services to the patient’s family and bereavement services after the death. Kalweit’s experience includes family practice at OSF Medical Group and M.D. at Home.

Using a blend of original and familiar music, composers Lloyd Larson and Victor Johnson collaborated on this telling of the Christmas story from the vantage point that God’s ways are not typically our ways. Featuring all of the hallmarks of popular cantatas, from beloved carols and a scripturally-based narration to opportunities for audience participation, this
work also features an upbeat spiritual movement, and male and female solos. Admission to the December concert is free, although monetary donations will be accepted to support local food pantries Loaves and Fish Food Pantry, Mount Morris, and Lifeline, Oregon.

Another 1,282 youth were involved in 4-H through school, after school and community-partner organizations. ”4-H’ers learn by doing philosophy encourages youth to experiment, innovate, and think independently, said Jodi Baumgartner, University of Illinois Extension Program Coordinator for Ogle County. “4-H grows confident kids who tackle issues that matter most in their communities.” 4-H members determine their own path in 4-H.
“Youth have a strong voice in 4-H clubs and are actively determining the programs and activities in their clubs,” said Dr. Lisa Diaz, assistant dean and director of the Illinois 4-H program. “4-H gives youth skills to be independent masters of their future by giving them real-life experiences in teaching others, providing youth voice on planning committees, advocating for positive change in their communities and gaining much-needed skills for the workplace.” Illinois 4-H members prepare for their future by studying careers related to their 4-H project. “They choose from more than 100 projects to study,” said Baumgartner. The topics range from rocketry, GPS, computer game design, and public speaking to photography, animal science,
nutrition, and more. “The project work builds a youth’s leadership, communication, organization, and decisionmaking skills,” said Baumgartner. “4-H also instills a generous spirit in youth,” Diaz said. 4-H members are encouraged to help others in their communities through the hundreds of service projects conducted by Illinois 4-H clubs. One out of every seven adults in the U.S. is a former 4-H member. For more information or to get involved in 4-H, go to the Ogle County 4-H web site at http://web.extension. illinois.edu/bdo/, or call the Extension office at 815-7322191. Anyone needing reasonable accommodations to participate in 4-H, should call the Extension office.
Be smart with yard waste By Reita Nicholson Administrative Assistant Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department Autumn has arrived here in Northern Illinois and that brings pumpkins, colorful leaves, and cooler temperatures. It also means that people will be dealing with falling leaves and cleaning up of their properties prior to winter weather. Dealing with landscape waste is always an issue around the county and the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department (OCSWMD) has some reminders for residents about this issue. The open burning of landscape waste is allowed in Illinois only under certain conditions. The landscape waste must be generated on that property and the smoke must not be allowed to interfere with roadways and other transportation routes, or impinge on others’ quality of life. Your city or village may have more restrictive regulations about open
burning. Open burning of landscape waste is prohibited in rural areas within 1,000 feet of a municipality in which open burning of landscape waste is prohibited. Check with your local village hall, the local fire department, or OCSWMD if you are unsure of burning regulations where you live. If you are burning landscape waste, burn only dry material to reduce smoke, be mindful of wind direction, and keep a water source nearby to prevent fire spread. Also be considerate of your neighbors and refrain from burning if the smoke will interfere with their activities. It is illegal to burn garbage or construction and demolition debris. The OCSWMD encourages other ways to deal with landscape waste besides burning. Grass clippings and leaves may be left on the lawn to be mulched by your mower and help your grass for next year. Leaves can be mulched and piled around plants and
flowers to retain moisture and insulate them from cold winter temperatures. Landscape waste can also be composted in a compost bin along with certain food scraps. For more information about starting a home compost pile call the University of Illinois Ogle County Extension office at 815-732-2191 or the OCSWMD has information about composting as well. Many towns in Ogle County include the collection of landscape waste in their waste collection contracts. Residents should take advantage of these services which haul the material to commercial composting sites. If you have large quantities of landscape waste, check with the OCSWMD for a list of compost sites in the area. Contact your city government or waste hauler for rules on landscape waste collection. Call the OCSWMD at 815-732-4020 or visit www. oglecounty.org if you have questions about open burning or for other landscape waste disposal options.

Prepare gardens before the first frost occurs in 2015 Taking a walk in cool, crisp weather, attending football games, picking apples, and choosing the perfect pumpkin are some quintessential activities for the fall, said University of Illinois horticulture educator Ron Wolford. “Planting bulbs is probably the number one garden activity that takes place in the fall, but there are a number of other gardening and fall-related
activities to do,” Wolford said. Some tips for fall gardening tasks include: Get Ready for Frost “On average, the first fall frost occurs around Oct. 15, but we have had frost in September,” Wolford noted. “First frosts usually occur when cool weather arrives with clear nights and light winds.” Open grassy areas are most likely to have frost versus
areas under trees that are protected because the trees keep heat from escaping. “Plantings close to the foundation of your home often survive a first frost because of the heat given off from house,” he said. “To protect plants cover them with blankets, newspaper, straw, sheets, tarps, boxes, or plastic sheeting. Apply the covers later in the afternoon and remove them in
the morning.” Floating row covers can also protect plants. This spun polyester material will raise the temperature two to five degrees around the plants, Wolford said. Plant a Green Manure Crop Green manure crops include clover, annual ryegrass, winter wheat, winter rye, and buckwheat. Green manure crops turned into the soil in
the spring will improve soil structure and add organic matter and nutrients to the soil. “Sow the seed thickly. Keep moist until germination occurs. Cut back plant’s flowers to prevent selfseeding,” Wolford said. Garden Clean-up Remove dead plants from the vegetable garden after frost. If plants were not diseased, they can be turned into the soil or placed in a
compost pile. “Leaving dead plants in the garden will provide a home for overwintering insects. Spread a two- to- three-inch layer of organic matter over the garden and dig in. The garden will be ready for planting in the spring,” he said.
mention of Woods, thus prompting me to share an update about our company. As many Oregon residents know, Woods was acquired by Portland, Oregon-based Blount International in 2011. Blount designs, manufactures and markets replacement parts and equipment for consumers and professionals in several markets, including Forestry, Lawn and Garden, Agriculture, and Construction. As part of the Blount organization, our team in Oregon now has access to a global footprint of world-class manufacturing expertise and international distribution, backed by a strong commitment to product leadership, innovation and quality. Our relationship with Blount has been very beneficial. In the past four years, Blount has invested millions of dollars in manufacturing equipment, overall plant improvements, expansion into Brazil, computer technology, training and development programs, and new products. In fact, we are preparing to launch a new product
line early next year and are currently hiring welders, programmers and machinists; learn more at blount.com/careers). One of the assets that Blount acquired in purchasing the business is the Woods brand. In the local community and in the agricultural market, Woods is a symbol of quality equipment that performs reliably time after time. Blount remains committed to the Woods brand and the people who build it, right here in Oregon. You may see our employees wearing hats and t-shirts with the Blount logo, carrying business cards that say “Blount,” or introducing themselves as employees of “Blount International.” When you see Blount, know that behind it is the tried and true Woods brand that has been a mainstay of the Oregon community since 1946.

Dear Editor, Kable Concert Band Board would like to express our thanks to the many people who helped make Warren Reckmeyer’s retirement party a success. The many friends, former and current band participants, students, and community members enjoying stories and memories made the afternoon a pleasure for all in attendance. Doreen White with her relatives and committee outdid themselves with music themed decorations and pictures from years past. Marching band hats served their purpose as centerpieces and provided picture taking options. A photograph of the commemorative Band Shell plaque to be mounted was on display. We would also like to thank the immediate Reckmeyer family for their attendance. We know that they, as well as others, traveled great
distances to celebrate this event. Very probably there are many others who contributed their time, energy, and ideas. We are grateful to you all. Kable Concert Band Board Bev Binkley Andy Eckardt Roy Keebler Ellen Miller Sylvia Saunders

A new event at this year’s Autumn on Parade festival was the donut eating competition sponsored by Casey’s General Store. In the adult division Daniel Welle, Oregon, rose to the challenge and finished his box of a dozen donuts in just over six minutes. “Just do it!” yelled Welle as soon as he won the competition. “Yeah!” Welle earned $250 for his quick consumption of donuts. When he was finishing the final crumbs, which was about two donuts worth, his competitors had just started on their sixth or seventh donut. Welle treated the event like the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog eating contest at Coney Island.

“Thank you. That was really fun,” he said. “Thanks to all my fans. I did it.” He said there was nothing really special about the way he ate the donuts, except eating fast.
Several contests were held on Saturday from the youngest kids who had to eat one donut, to the adults that had to eat a dozen donuts. Contest winners included: • 5-7 year-olds — Jayden
Berry, age 6, $25; • 8-10 year-olds — Elizabeth Mois, age 10, $25; • 11-13 year-olds — Owen Ketter, age 12, $50; • 14-adult — Daniel Welle, 16, $250.

Polo advances as a team, Cardinals qualify 1 Foggy day at Gelena course By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com As had been the case all season, it was the Polo golf team and Bryan Edler of Forreston rising to the top at the Galena 1A regional. In a meet delayed 90 minutes for heavy fog, the Marcos qualified for the sectional as a team and Edler carded a 79 on the par-71 Galena Golf Course to place third. For Polo, it was the first time qualifying as a team since 2004, when they took third. The second-place Marcos had 348 strokes to only trail Stockton by six shots for the team title. “It’s awesome,” Polo coach Don Reece said. “The kids played really hard and I’m so proud of them.” Stockton’s top three golfers were between 77 and 80, but they dropped down to Forreston’s Christian Groenewold drives during the Salley Wessels Fall Golf Classic at Sunset Golf Course in Mt. Morris on Sept. 19. Photo by Earleen Hinton
Marcos ground missiles By Brian Weidman Sauk Valley Media For a good chunk of the first quarter, Polo looked like the fifth-best team in Ogle County. It wasn’t long, however, before the Marcos restored order against Milledgeville and looked like what they are – the fifth-ranked team in Class 1A. A long touchdown run by do-it-all senior Brad Cavanaugh lit a fire under Polo, and it went on to a 57-0 victory over the Missiles on Friday night at Floyd Daub Field. It was Milledgeville’s
homecoming, but the Marcos were ones in a celebratory mood afterward. “It’s a blast just knowing what we’re capable of every week,” senior quarterback Wyatt Patterson said, “and going out and matching those capabilities. We know that we have some very lofty goals set, and we know what it takes to get those goals.” Polo (6-0, 5-0 NUIC Upstate) overcame a nightmare of a start. It committed four penalties on its opening possession, and that was followed by a 4-yard punt to set Milledgeville up at the Polo 13.
The Marcos’ next possession resulted in a fumble. “We need to watch that,” Cavanaugh said of the sluggish start,”because anyone can beat anyone at any time.” The turning point came late in the first quarter when Cavanaugh got loose for an 80-yard touchdown run up the right sideline. It appeared as though he would be brought down after a short gain, but ended up going the distance. “Something needed to be Turn to B2

108 for the No. 4 score. Polo had five scores between 83 and 94. Leading the way were Chris Rademacher with an 83 and Mack Llanas an 84. Tristin Woodin chipped in an 88 and Trevin Woodin and Brix Clayton each carded 94s. Tommy Bardell rounded out the team with a 125. “Three out of our top five you can really count on,” Reece said. The No. 4 and No. 5, you never know who is going to step up.” Individually, Zach Lacher of defending team champ Stockton took first with a 77 and teammate Alex Staver had a 78. Edler was right on their tail all day, though. “From what I saw, Bryan drove the ball well,” Forreston coach Matt Hanley said. “If he got into trouble, he did a good job with sand saves, chipping and putting.” Edler only had one bad hole, in which he had a triple bogey. The Cardinals finished in fifth place with a 366, two spots away from sectional qualifying. In a very close
battle for fifth place, the Cardinals edged Galena (367), East Dubuque (368) and Eastland (369). “Today, we played better than at conference,” Hanley said. Mitch Bratina had a 92, Christian Groenewold 97 and Nolan Edler 98 to round out Forreston’s scoring. Jacob Southerland and Josiah Snider also competed and were around the century mark. “I was pleased with the season,” Hanley said. “It will be tough to lose three seniors (Snider, Bratina and Nolan Edler). It will be nice to have Bryan back for another year. He was very consistent, averaging 40 (nine holes) and that is key for us as a team to have someone like that.” Edler and the Marcos will compete for a berth downstate this Monday at Prarieview Golf Course in Byron. “It’s been a great season so far,” Reece said. “I can’t tell you how proud I am of this team.”
Polo second in conference Several area golf teams participated in the NUIC Conference meet in Galena on Oct. 1. Stockton boys finished in first place with a team score of 347; Polo finished second with a team score of 358; and Forreston finished in seventh with a team score of 382. Alex Staver of Stockton was the first-place winner with a top score of 75. Chris Rademacher, Polo, tied for fifth with a score of 84. Bryan Edler, Forreston, and Tristin Woodin, Polo, tied for ninth with a score of 87. Individual boys’ results are listed below by school. Golfers’ scores are listed for the front and back portion of the course, along with their final score. Polo High School: Christopher Rademacher, 42+42 (84); Mack Llanas, 45+48 (93); Brix Clayton, 47+47 (94); Tristin Woodin, 38+49 (87); Trevin Woodin, 45+49 (94); Tommy Bardell, 47+62 (109); and Lane Hopkins, 52+63 (115).

of 91; and Sam Greenfield, Forreston, finished in 11th with a score of 106. Megan Call of Polo finished with a score of 124.
Cardinals offense runs past East Dubuque defense Offense put up 54 points Friday The Forreston Cardinals improved their season record to 5-1 with a convincing 54-6 win over East Dubuque Friday night. Forreston got on the board early on an Anthony Christensen 29 yard run. The first quarter featured two touchdowns by Logan Rogers, a 12 yard run and a 77 yard run. The extra point tries on all three touchdowns were no good. Rogers added an 18 yard touchdown in the second quarter and Garett Badertscher kicked the extra point. Christensen added his second touchdown of the game on a 13 yard run and
Badertscher’s point after was good. Joseph Bowers had two touchdown runs during the game, 1 15 yard and a 4 yard. Cade Kuelling had a two yard touchdown run. Rogers finished the game with 189 yard rushing on 13 carries. Matt Akins had 97 yards on 16 carries. Christensen had 73 yards on 7 carries. Bowers had 72 yards on 6 carries. Forreston travels to Lena Friday night to face a tough 6-0 team in a game that will help determine the winner of the Northwest Upstate Illini Northwest Conference title this season.

Autumn on Parade 5K race had a record crowd Record setting. Those two words rang true Sunday morning during the annual Autumn on Parade 5K race. This year a record 531 people registered for the 5K. With cooler temperatures and overcast skies, the runners, joggers, and walkers stepped off from the Oregon High School football field for a race around the school, Oregon Park West, and a second trip around the school. The overall race winner was Ryan Creegan, Mt. Morris with a time of 18:41. The rest of the top 15 finishers were: Tim George, Sterling, 19:06; Chris Madden, Oregon, 19:14; Max Sager, Pecatonica, 19:28; Anthony Delegge, Byron, 19:36; Ken Laugh, Sterling, 19:49; Matthias Kemmeren, Dixon, 19:51; Trevor Kramer, Roscoe, 20:08; Matt Kirby, Sycamore, 20:11; Tim Halsmer, Byron, 20:26; Dominic Cozzi, Oregon, 20:31; Skylar Carlson, Oregon, 20:38; Sam Barton, Atlanta Georgia, 20:53; top

Polo continues to play solid football By Andy Colbert acolbert@glecounty news.com Anyone who felt Milledgeville had any chance against Polo in last Friday’s football game may want to re-evaluate his or her assessment of Marco football. The fact that Milledgeville came in with four wins, has a long tradition of playing hard-nosed ball football, and are only a few miles away on a blacktop road has little or no bearing on the final results. Polo continues to assault any NUIC Upstate team standing in its path to a conference title with a 50-point margin of victory. Next victim is Freeport Aquin, a team that Polo would love to exact revenge upon after being on the losing end of a 63-40 contest. Can Aquin be the one team to give Polo a tussle for a full four quarters? Based upon comparative scores this season, the answer is a definitive no. The fun game this week will be between Forreston and Lena-Winslow. Even without its starting quarterback and top running back, Le-Win has been impressive in wins over Galena and Dakota.
Could this be the week that both of those injured players make it back to the field? Either way, the Panthers are everyone’s choice to win, everyone except Denny Diduch and his team. Before the season began, Diduch felt his team was capable of beating anyone on the schedule and they proved that with an upset of Galena. Sure, Le-Win will be favored, but look for Forreston to make it a game. They will have to play better for all four quarters than they did against West Carroll, though. If not, LeWin will roll the Cardinals. In area football news, James Robinson of Lutheran is one or two carries away from a new all-time IHSA rushing record. Robinson and his undefeated Rockford Lutheran teammates entertain 5-1 Byron on Friday and this promises to be a big media event. The fact he is closing in on all kinds of state records and that he is virtually impossible to tackle him one-on-one, along with being on a juggernaught of a team make him: a.) physical freak, b.) a joy to watch play, c.) big-time college recruit, d.) object of scorn/envy, e.) all of the above? By the very nature of his
statistical resume there has become a mystique about him. If he played on a 7A or 8A Chicago suburban team, would he be anything special or is this a product of playing against 3A/4A competition? And what effect has a “new and improved” Lutheran football program had on him getting all these touchdowns and 50-yard gains? When 4-1 Dixon gives up 88 points in one half and a respectable Oregon team can only manage one first down, while Lutheran reels off 355 yards on only 13 first-half plays, something is amiss. Conspiracy theorists reason that Rockford Boylan is 0-6 because they are losing players to Lutheran. Others wonder how Lutheran went from 9-72 in 2003-11 as a 2A school to suddenly being one of the elite teams in 4A. Then we get into to the age-old argument of a competitive disadvantage small public schools have against private schools from large communities, such as Lutheran, Lombard Montini or Aurora Christian. Instead of playing in the Big Northern, maybe Lutheran would be better suited in the NIC-10. As Robinson closes in on the record of 8,477 yards and Lutheran demolishes

everyone in sight, do we applaud or call into the question the meaning of it all? Congratulations are in order to the Polo golf team for its second place finish in the NUIC conference. Besides having a tremendous gridiron product, Polo fields a strong unit on the links. With 4-5 golfers capable of going low on any particular day, it’s been one of the best years in school history for the golfers. Also, did you know the Trudy Whalen and Suzanne Rypkema smiles as they NUIC held its first-ever girls walk the AOP 5k on Sunday. Photo by Earleen Hinton golf tournament last week.
After slow start Polo was quick to add touchdowns From B1 done,” Cavanaugh said, “and luckily I had some great blocks. I ended up making two cuts, and then I was gone.” The floodgates opened after that. Brooks Grobe scored on a 40-yard run, then Wyatt Patterson scampered in from 8 yards. The fourth TD was a 10yard pass from Patterson to Cavanaugh, then Cavanaugh booted a 39-yard field goal that would have been good from another 10 yards away. A bad snap on a Milledgeville punt resulted in a safety, then the first-half scoring was capped off by a 5-yard pass from Patterson to Richie Bartnick. Patterson is holding down the quarterback position while senior Brody Grobe
recovers from a shoulder injury. He’s enjoying taking snaps while it lasts. “It’s nice having a lot of playmakers out there, because that takes a lot of pressure off of me,” Patterson said. Reserves saw the bulk of the playing time in a second half that was played with a running clock. Polo, ahead 44-0 at halftime, tacked on two second-half TDs on runs of 1 yard by Jesse Ditzler and 84 yards by Tristen Aguilar. Milledgeville (4-2, 4-2) never got much going against a stout Polo defense, and hurt itself with four lost fumbles. Two of them in the first half set up the Marcos’ third and fourth touchdowns, and two more in the second half killed scoring chances. “I told the guys before the game you can’t give a
good team opportunities,” Milledgeville coach Jason Wroble said, “and we’ve got to take advantage when they give us opportunities. We turned the ball over, and that hurt, giving them a short field a couple of times. “When we had a short field, we couldn’t capitalize. We’ve got to learn how to take advantage of those opportunities.” Star of the game: Brad Cavanaugh, Polo, 89 yards rushing, 10-yard TD catch, 39-yard FG He said it: “We’ve just got to keep working hard in practice, and we know that we’re going to have a little bit of success every week.” Polo QB Wyatt Patterson Up next: Aquin at Polo; Milledgeville at Stockton, both 7 p.m. Friday

Great ShakeOut drill is next week The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and Ogle County Emergency Management Agency are encouraging people in Illinois to take part in the annual Great ShakeOut drill next week. Millions of people across the U.S. and in several countries around the globe will take a few minutes to practice actions that could save their lives in the event of an earthquake during the drill on Thursday, Oct. 15 at 10:15 a.m. “The ShakeOut drill is a quick, easy way to practice earthquake preparedness,” said IEMA Director James K. Joseph. “It takes very little time, so it works well for schools and office buildings. You simply drop down to the ground, take cover under a table or other piece of heavy furniture and hold on.” Illinois has participated in ShakeOut drills for the past five years. Nearly 578,000 Illinoisans took part in the nationwide earthquake drill last year. To date, more than 534,000 people in Illinois are registered for the October ShakeOut event. Joseph said that some of the most powerful earthquakes to ever occur in the U.S. happened a little
more than 200 years ago in the New Madrid Seismic Zone, which reaches into southern Illinois. That series of earthquakes in 1811-12 lasted for several months, and shaking was felt as far away as the East Coast. Schools, businesses, government agencies, families and others can register to participate in the drill at www.shakeout.org/ centralus. Registered participants will receive additional information about the drill and earthquake preparedness. While the international drill will take place on Oct. 15, individual drills can be conducted anytime within two weeks of that date. The drill focuses on the “Drop, Cover and Hold On” protective actions people should take when an earthquake begins: “drop” down to the floor, take “cover” under a sturdy desk, table or other furniture, and “hold on” to the furniture item and be prepared to move with it until the shaking stops. Additional information about the earthquake risk in Illinois and steps to take before, during, and after an earthquake is available at www.Ready.Illinois.gov.
