Soviet MiG 17 flyover amazes football fans By Chris Johnson Reporter No, the Soviets were not invading Forreston, but a Soviet era plane was spotted flying over the village Saturday evening before a playoff football game. This Russian MiG 17 was being flown by Forreston graduate Jeff Kaney. Kaney, 47, graduated from Forreston High School in 1985. On Saturday night, he gave football fans a treat when he performed a couple flyovers before the playoff game against Hope Academy. Fans in the stands were heard saying “do it again.” and “I can not believe this is at a Class 1A game.” For Kaney it was a way to give fans something extra to remember. How did a Forreston graduate end up owning a Soviet aircraft? “I have been flying since I was a kid,” said Kaney. “I went flying with my dad in small planes. I was also in the Air Force for 10 years.” Kaney attended the University of Dubuque where he studied flight operations and business management. After graduating he joined the Air Force in 1989. “I flew T37s and T38

Candidates earn offices

in Nov. 4 general election By Vinde Wells Editor Several Ogle County offices were filled Nov. 4 by candidates who were elected without competition in the general election. Brian VanVickle, Rochelle, garnered 14,432 votes to be elected to his first term as sheriff. He defeated current sheriff Michael Harn, Forreston, for the Republican Party nomination in the March primary. Similarly, Eric Morrow, Oregon, received 14,419 votes to win a two-year term as state’s attorney. He defeated present state’s attorney Mike Rock, Byron, for the Republican Party nomination in the primary. Rock was appointed to the post in January of 2013 to fill the first two years of a fouryear term vacated by John B. Roe IV, who announced his resignation in November of 2012 right after he was elected to a third term. Roe resigned because he was appointed to fill an unexpired circuit judge seat. With 14,440 votes, Roe was elected to the judgeship he has been holding for the last two years.

County clerk Rebecca Huntley, Chana, the top votegetter, received 14,897 votes to be elected for her fifth term in the office, and treasurer John Coffman, Polo, got 14,559 votes to win a fifth term as well. Both ran unopposed in the primary, and both were elected to four year terms. Robert Sondgeroth received 14,178 votes in Ogle County to be elected Regional Superintendent of the Lee, Ogle and Whiteside Education Service Region. He is currently the Regional Superintendent for Whiteside County Regional Office of Education (ROE), which will merge with the Lee-Ogle ROE next July. Ogle County Board candidates all ran unopposed, and all but one are Republicans. In District 1, which includes Dement, Lynnville, Monroe, and Scott Townships, J. Nick Bolin, Holcomb, was elected to his first term with 1,863 votes. Incumbent Patricia Nordman, Oregon, received 1,961 votes in District 2, which includes White Rock, Pine Rock, Lafayette, and Oregon-Nashua Townships.

In This Week’s Edition...

Veteran board member Bobbie Colbert, Rochelle, the only Democrat running for a county post, got 954 votes in District 3, which includes Flagg Township, Precincts 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7. Incumbent Bruce W. McKinney, Rochelle, garnered 1,726 votes in District 4, which includes Flagg Township, Precincts 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, and 11.

In District 6, which includes Byron Township, incumbent Leroy Meyers, Byron, earned 1,674 votes. Incumbent Rich Gronewold, Forreston, got 1,601 votes for another term in District 7, which includes Maryland, Mt. Morris, and Forreston Townships. Longtime board member Lyle Hopkins received 2,088 votes for another term in District 8, which includes Brookville, Lincoln, Eagle Point, Buffalo, Pine Creek, Woosung, Grand Detour, and Taylor Townships.

a MiG 17 to his collection when he found out one was up for sale. “There were two for sale and I was able to purchase one. There are only a few MiGs flying today in the United States,” he said. “It is an exotic airplane that a lot of people have heard of. I Turn to A3

National accreditation for 9-1-1 By Chris Johnson Reporter A group of individuals works hard every day to keep residents in Ogle County safe. The Ogle County Sheriff’s Office Communications department was recognized Monday morning with a national Accreditation for Quality Assurance from Powerphone after a twoyear process. “These are the guidelines and training that we

provide to dispatchers for pre arrival instructions,” said Ogle County E9-1-1 Coordinator Sandy Beitel. Powerphone creates the protocols followed whenever 9-1-1 is dialed. “Ogle County has met our standards and is the second department in Illinois to receive accreditation,” said Powerphone Professional Standards Manager, Heather Pierce. “Only five to seven percent of our customers achieve accreditation.”

Ogle County has been designated as a Total Response Accredited Center that is committed to maintaining the highest standards in emergency call handling. Powerphone is a global company and created the standards used for emergency calls. What makes this accomplishment even more impressive is that Ogle County is the first in Illinois Turn to A9

Unique flyover at game From A1 purchased my MiG this spring and brought it to air shows.” Owning a plane does not allow a pilot to fly the plane. Before Kaney could fly the MiG he needed to receive certification on the aircraft. “I trained in a MiG 15 which is a two seater,” he said. “I flew that plane to be checked.” When flying a former Soviet airplane there are rules that need to be follow. “I need to let the FAA know if I am flying out of my home area,” he said. “I am also restricted on how the aircraft can be flown.” The MiG (MikoyanGurevich) was a Soviet designed aircraft. It was one of the airplanes flown by the North Vietnamese Air Force during the Vietnam War. Numerous Air Force pilots engaged in aerial combat with MiGs.

“At shows I have talked to former Air Force pilots that engaged with MiGs,” Kaney said. “One even sat in this plane and reminisced about the war.” For the flyover at the football game, Kaney needed to maintain elevation to be legal. “I can not go below 1,000 feet without prior approval,” he said. “I was also working against Civil Twilight.” This is the time just after sunset before night flying regulations begin. “I checked and Civil Twilight was at 5:11 Saturday and the flyover was before 5,” Kaney said. “The sun was out that afternoon and the clouds had cleared. It worked out.” Since he was a child, Kaney knew he had a love of flying. “From that first flight with my dad I loved to fly,” he said. “I only concentrate on flying when I am flying. It is all encompassing, there is

nothing to worry about. You are in the moment.” Kaney has logged more than 7,000 flight hours. This love of flying led Kaney to form Kaney Aviation in 1998, Ardekin Precision in 2008, Kaney Aerospace in 2005, and Kaney Group in 2010. These business ventures are based at the Rockford Airport. The workers manufacture aerospace parts, test and certify aviation systems, and develop software and hardware for aircraft. For those with a passion to learn how to fly Kaney suggests a visit to a local airport. “There are classes to learn how to fly at Freeport, Rockford, and Rochelle,” he said. “Also the SOPA has information on how to become a pilot.” Flight training is also available at the Ogle County The following FFA students attended the national convention.

HCC faculty art show opens Nov. 13 The Highland Gallery will feature works of art created by current Highland Community College Visual Arts faculty members from Thursday, Nov. 13 through Monday, Dec. 8. The annual event will begin with an opening reception from 4:30 to 6 p.m. on Thursday at the Highland Gallery in the Ferguson Fine Arts Center on the HCC campus, Freeport.

Recent works by faculty will be on display and available for contemplation, stimulation, and discussion as a featured exhibit of the fall 2014 semester. “Faculty members of the HCC Visual Arts program are professional artists, as well as instructors, working within a diverse range of media, content, and image concerns,” said Highland Gallery Director Robert Apolloni. “Their

Stevens learns all about volunteering at local prairie site Matthew Stevens learned about volunteering at Sand Ridge from his brother, who had worked for his Eagle Scout status. Matt volunteered for public service to be added to his high school record, not for a scout honor. He’s the only volunteer who did an entire job on his own. He spent several days

removing overgrown pine trees that had been felled and left in place. By the time he finished his work, the area was clear and clean, ready to be restored to its natural state. “The Prairie Preservation Society of Ogle County appreciates the help we’ve received from our hard working volunteers,” said member Sonia Vogl.

A faculty art exhibition, comprised solely of works created by faculty members, is scholarly – and this exhibit illustrates the commitment of HCC Visual Arts faculty to pursue continued research and artistry outside of the class room setting.” This exhibit will feature the

works of artists Reed Bakken – pottery, Jim Planting – metal work and jewelry, Sam Tucibat — photography, and Robert Apolloni – mixed media drawing. Highland Gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Earth Angels, headed by Linda “Granny” Straith, Forreston, is again collecting toys and donations for Christmas gifts for needy families in Ogle County. The goal is to reach families that have “fallen through the system” and are unable to receive any kind of assistance. Donations will be accepted through Dec. 18. Drop sites for donations are at Sterling Federal Bank, Mt. Morris; Kable News, Mt. Morris; Mt. Morris Senior Center; Forreston Public Library; Forreston State Bank; Bertolet Memorial Library, Leaf River; Citgo, Leaf River; Rock River Center, Oregon; Pete Harkness Auto Dealership, Oregon; Creative Designs, Oregon; Dollar General, Oregon; Blackhawk Area Credit Union, Polo; Mt. Morris Moose Family Center, Mt. Morris; St. Paul Lutheran Church, Oregon; St. Bride’s Episcopal Church, Oregon; State Farm Insurance, Oregon; and Sawicki Motors, Rochelle. At the drop sites, pick

an “angel” to buy gifts for. Purchase the gift, attach the angel’s tag, and return the gift to the drop site by Thursday, Dec. 18 or call Straith at 779771-4591 for pick up. Donations of money can be mailed to Earth Angel, P.O. Box 188, Forreston, Ill. 61030-0188 or Earth Angel Fund, c/o Forreston State Bank, 200 Main St., P.O. Box 278, Forreston, Ill. 610300278. Anyone who knows of a family who really needs an Earth Angel, even if it’s your own family, is asked to submit the name and address. All the information is kept confidential. What is most important is gender and ages so gifts can be purchased and distributed accordingly. Volunteers can earn their Earth Angel wings by helping wrap, pick up, or deliver gifts when the time comes. Earth Angel headquarters will once again be at the Mt. Morris Seniors Center. For more information or to volunteer call Straith or visit www.earthangelsoglecounty. spaces.live.com.

Holm credits volunteers with making 2014 fair a success Michael Timm named Volunteer of the Year Harlan Holm, president of the Ogle County Fair Association proclaimed the 2014 Ogle County Fair an outstanding fair Nov. 8 at the fair association’s annual meeting. “The attendance at the 2014 Fair may not have been a record but it was excellent,” Holm said in his address to the members at the meeting at the Ogle County Farm Bureau auditorium. He added that volunteer labor provided by fair association members and directors, 4-H club and FFA members, and contributions from individuals and businesses all help make the fair a success. Holm expressed his thanks to 4-H leaders and volunteers and the allvolunteer fair board for their “dedication and hard work.” He said free shows and free carnival rides were offered again this year with paid gate admission.

“The free on grounds shows were very well attended and enjoyed by all,” he said. He added that attendance was excellent this year due in part by having nice weather and the $8 dollar gate fee that included all on grounds shows and unlimited free rides for adults and the kids. Holm said he is looking forward to the 2015 fair, set for July 29 to Aug. 2, to build on the success of the 2014 fair. Funding from state allocations has become much less over the past several years, he said, but in spite of that he is confident that “with the help of the fair board, members, and volunteers, including 4-H and FFA members, we will have a great fair in 2015.” The annual meeting is held each year to review the past year’s fair, recognize volunteers, and elect new directors. John Sheely, assistant superintendent of the Ogle County Fair Association, recognized Michael Timm as the Volunteer of the Year.

The award is given in recognition of exceptional volunteer work. Besides assisting with security duties during the fair, Timm also volunteers his time during the summer months to help keep the fairground mowed regularly. Tom Simpson, Davis Junction, and Rita Dauphin, Polo, were re-elected to the board for three-year terms. Randy Anderson, Chana, was elected to replace Ralph Larson, German Valley, who retired from the board after many years of faithful service. Other continuing board members include Holm, Stan Eden, and Carol Zellers, secretary, all of Oregon; Dave Engelbrecht, Byron; Dauphin, Lyle Hopkins, John Dueth, all of Polo; Rose Donegan, Gene Price, and Brad Larson, treasurer, all of Mt. Morris. Other fair officials include Dennis Alderks, Chana, fair superintendent; Jon Sheely, assistant superintendant; and Dr. Tom Hughes, Forreston, Ogle County Fair veterinarian.

Take steps to prevent diabetes By Joanie Padilla Director of Health Education Ogle County Health Dept.

Nearly 30 million children and adults have diabetes, and another 86 million Americans are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. By 2050, as many as one in three American adults will have diabetes. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness and kidney failure among adults, and often causes mild to severe nerve damage that leads to the loss of a leg or foot. Diabetes significantly increases the risk of heart disease, and it is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States. More than 70,000 deaths are directly attributable to

diabetes each year. Excess weight is the single largest factor to developing type 2 diabetes. An obese person is 20 to 40 times more likely to develop diabetes than a person with a healthy weight. A person who loses seven to ten percent of their current weight could cut their chances of developing diabetes in half. Moderate exercise, like walking at a brisk pace for 30 minutes a day, can also reduce your risk of diabetes by 30 percent. Dietary changes can have a significant impact on reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. Limit the amount of red meat, processed carbohydrates, sugary drinks, and trans fats.

Smoking has been directly linked to diabetes type 2 risk. Quitting is the single greatest improvement to make to all aspects of health. Illinois offers free tobacco cessation services through the Illinois Tobacco Quitline at 1-866-QUIT-YES (1-866784-8937). Type 2 diabetes is largely preventable. Nine cases in ten could be prevented by taking the following steps: exercising more, eating a healthy diet, keeping weight under control, and not smoking. For more information on diabetes, contact Joanie Padilla, Director of Health Education, Ogle County Health Department, at 815732-7330 ext. 279, or visit oglecountyhealthdepartment. org and cdc.gov/diabetes.

organizations’ net revenues are approximately $3 billion. “In addition to its world class reputation for medical care and treatments, UW Health has been a recognized leader in developing community and population health management strategies,” said Gorski. “Together, we will implement these strategies as we continue to address health care issues locally, regionally and nationally.” Dr. Jeffrey Grossman, senior associate dean for clinical affairs at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health and president and CEO of UW Medical Foundation, said “UW Health seeks partners like Swedish American who share our commitment to enhancing the health of the communities we serve. “As we have worked closely together, we have confirmed that we share a set of values focused on continually improving our approach to delivering community-based health care. This merger is about providing better health care at the local level.” Ron Sliwinski, president and CEO of UW Hospital and Clinics agrees. “We’ve long recognized Swedish American as the leading health system in Northern Illinois. We look forward to working collaboratively with our new partners to meet the challenges of a changing

health care environment.” Swedish American is a notfor-profit healthcare system headquartered in Rockford, comprised of two hospitals, 30 clinics, a home health care agency and a foundation. The local market-share leader, Swedish American has received numerous awards for quality and preference from major state and national organizations. UW Health is an academic health center associated with the University of WisconsinMadison. It includes: UW School of Medicine and Public Health with its core missions of education, basic, translational, clinical and population health research; UW Hospital and Clinics, Magnet-designated and rated the #1 hospital in Wisconsin by US News and World Report, a 592-bed regional referral center that includes the 87-bed American Family Children’s Hospital; The Carbone Cancer Center, one of 41 federally designated comprehensive centers for cancer treatment and research with a network of affiliates; The nation’s seventh largest organ transplant program;

Business Briefs Scholarships are available through the Monsanto Fund America’s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders is now launching in 40 states, with more than $500,000 worth of scholarships available. The program is sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, and provides $1,500 college scholarships to students pursuing a degree related to agriculture. Starting Nov. 15, high school seniors and college students in Illinois and other eligible states can apply for this opportunity. Farmers know the rewards of a career in agriculture, but many of today’s youth may not. Luckily, there is an abundance of evidence that agriculture is a smart career choice. According to the USDA, nearly 55,000 jobs in agriculture are available every year. Many of the nation’s largest land-grant institutions, such as Penn State and Texas A&M University, report job placement rates above 90 percent for their ag students. Grow Ag Leaders helps engage future generations in agriculture by raising awareness of the broad range of career opportunities in the industry and by supporting their college education. The program was created in response to farmer requests to keep rural youth involved

in agriculture. Farmers can participate in the program by encouraging students in their community to apply for a scholarship and by endorsing their application. Because farmers play a crucial role in the industry, each applicant is required to obtain endorsements from at least three local farmers. “We want to encourage ambitious and talented students to pursue careers in this growing field,” said Elizabeth Vancil, Youth and Community Outreach manager at Monsanto. “As students who grew up in rural areas learn more about what agriculture has become, they are realizing that it is a fascinating, hi-tech industry, with job growth, job security, and high wages. “These young people are seeing that there are emerging opportunities for a new generation of innovative young farmers, engineers, implement designers, marketing specialists and seed scientists.” Grow Ag Leaders is part of the overall America’s Farmers campaign, which highlights the vital role played by farmers, through programs designed to support rural communities. Farmers interested in promoting the program and endorsing students’ scholarship applications can learn how at GrowAgLeaders.com. The scholarships are administered by the National FFA Organization, but FFA membership is not required to apply. Students have until

Spring election is getting closer By Vinde Wells Editor With the fall general election all wrapped up, local taxing bodies can now turn their full attention to the spring consolidated election. Voters will decide who will serve on numerous boards when they go to the polls on April 7. Races on the ballot will include city councils, village boards, school boards, public library boards, park district boards, fire protection district boards, and forest preserve boards, as well as community college boards and the regional boards of school trustees. Candidates for these races could begin circulating their nominating petitions on Sept. 23. The dates for filing completed petitions, with signatures and other paperwork is Dec. 15-22. At least one referendum will also be on the April ballot. Oregon Fire Protection District officials will ask voters to give them authority to levy taxes for ambulance services. The fire board has not yet decided how much it will ask but could set that number at its Nov. 12 meeting. The maximum amount

allowed by state law is 40 cents per $100 equalized assessed valuation. That translates into approximately $200 per year, excluding exemptions, for a house valued at $150,000. The Oregon Fire District, which covers 120 square miles, is the only area fire district without a taxsupported ambulance service. Those services were covered by the Oregon Ambulance Service, Inc., from the early 1970s until June 17 when the not-forprofit business closed its doors for financial reasons. After that, the district depended on mutual aid from surrounding fire departments for ambulance service until officials hired ATS Medical Services, Loves Park, a private ambulance service. Since July 1, ATS has been kept an ambulance and crew at the Oregon Fire Station around the clock. The fire district is paying ATS $6,000 monthly from current funds. However, that cannot go on indefinitely because that money was levied for fire protection. The fire district includes all of Oregon-Nashua Township and portions of Pine Creek, Pine Rock, White Rock, Rockvale, Marion, Grand Detour, and Taylor Townships.

Cardinals showdown with Rebels should be fun contest By Andy Colbert Reporter Okay, any mystery about how good Stark County’s football team has been answered. With its whipping of NUIC Upstate co-champ Polo, the Rebels proved they are for real. This probably shouldn’t have come as much of a surprise, as this program has established itself as one of the best in small-school football, year in and year out. Forreston found this out in 2012. But, without a reliable indicator (bear in mind all other teams in their conference lost in the first round of the playoffs) until Polo, there was a slight question mark about Stark County. With the way things shook out last Saturday between Hope-Forreston and PoloSC, it looks like fans will be treated to something very special this week in Wyoming. I don’t care what type of

Tri-County Press, Forreston Journal, Thursday, November 13, 2014, Page A12 football is played at the 7A and 8A levels in the suburbs, this 1A contest will have just as much to offer. The atmosphere at Gary Johnson Field will be what high school sports are all about. Fans will even be treated to one of the best concession stands in the state. Those folks at Toulon, Wyoming and LaFayette (feeder towns into SC) take their football seriously. Over the years, some people have decried the need for eight classes in football. I’ve always disagreed. Football is so competitive that loads of great games in each class take place prior to the state finals. The Forreston-SC is one example. It possible we may be seeing the two best teams in 1A in the quarterfinals. Right now, I still feel Forreston is the better team. My only concern is the Cardinal defense being able to stop SC. The Rebels needed only 10 and a half minutes and 33 plays, of which 10 came on the first drive, to get those seven touchdowns. Having attended high school football games for 50 years, I saw two things on Saturday I’ve never seen before. One was awesome and the other a bit weird in a fun way. As I was getting out of my car in the east parking lot before the Forreston game,

I was awestruck to see that flyover by the Russian MIG. I could have sworn it was directly overhead me, as the afterburners turned on. Jeff Kaney, the founder and CEO of the Kaney Group, an aerospace consultancy located in Rockford, is a Forreston graduate who has access to cool aircraft like this and it was neater than any other flyover I’ve ever seen. Earlier that day, I turned off Ill. 2 in Byron and was in the residential area south of the high school. Turning in front of me at an intersection was a truck with a livestock trailer. I didn’t think much of it, as these are common sites for us mid-westerners. However, as I drove behind it, I had to do a double take and make sure my eyes weren’t playing tricks with me. Yes, it was hauling a bunch of football players,

which I found out later were the varsity lineman. The truck took these “hogs” all the way to the field and deposited them in front of the home crowd. Can’t beat fun at the old ballpark, I guess. Though I have been going to games for 50 years, Stark County has a PA person who has been at the mic longer than that. It will be a very special day on Saturday for Pete Johnson (no relation to Gary Johnson) who will be announcing his last high

school football game after 58 years of doing it. As regular readers of this column know, I’m a huge supporter of referees and officials. But, something happened at the Byron game that had me quizzical. Throughout the first half, the Chicago Harper football coach was using a great deal of profanity directed at his players and in general. A Stillman Valley fan within earshot asked him to cool his language. Bear in the mind, the

% for

Harper side didn’t have many people around and you could hear about everything going on. Quietly, I thanked him for speaking his conscience, as I also found it very offensive. To my surprise, the head referee loudly yelled back at that fan and told him to mind his own business. Could an official explain this too me? I understand officials have authority to remove belligerent fans, but this man was speaking his convictions.

Marcos season ends with disappointing blowout By Patrick Mason Sauk Valley Media There was no hiding from the Stark County football team on Nov. 8 for the Polo Marcos. The top-ranked Rebels sliced up the Polo defense, and put a lid on the Marcos’ offense that bubbled with speed and athleticism throughout the season. Stark County ended the Marcos’ season in a 49-12 blowout at Gary Johnson Field in the second round of the Class 2A playoffs. It was Polo’s most lopsided loss this season. “It’s disappointing,” Polo quarterback Brody Grobe said. “We hoped for more of a game than that. It was embarrassing. What we did was not Marcos football.” The Rebels (11-0) marched down the field with little resistance throughout the game and scored touchdowns on each of their seven first-

half possessions. The Marcos (8-3) had a tough task in containing Rebels quarterback Joe Charvat, who played tricks on the Polo defense with deceptive zone-read plays, and deep passes to streaking receivers. His ability to run, as well as throw the ball downfield, was too much to handle. “When we watched the tape, we thought we would be able to get their defense to shift where we wanted,” Charvat said. “Then we just did the opposite of what they were expecting. “I knew that if I made the right reads, we were going to get some good yards, and we just kept moving the ball.” Charvat ran for 61 yards on six carries and ran for two scores, while throwing for 152 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Chase Johnston gained 84 yards and scored twice, and Logan Hollis added another

score. “We knew they were good,” Grobe said. “But when we were on the field, it felt like we weren’t prepared for anything they did.” The biggest blow came near the end of the first half. Stark County scored its final two touchdowns in the final 2 minutes of the first half. Charvat returned a Polo punt 69 yards to the 6-yard line, which set up a Hollis score. On the Marcos’ ensuing possession, Grobe was intercepted, which set up the Rebels’ seventh and final touchdown, and put a running clock in effect for the entirety of the second half. “We just wanted to make it a game at that point,” Polo junior Richie Bartnick said about the halftime score. “We knew we probably weren’t going to come back and win, especially with the score what it was and with the running clock working against us.” Polo’s Dylan Beers tries to avoid Stark County’s Joe Charvat during Saturday action Turn to B2 in Wyoming.

Exciting matchup Nov. 15 By Andy Colbert Reporter Forreston (10-1) will travel to Stark County (11-0) this Saturday for a quarterfinal battle between two teams most recently ranked No. 1 in class 1A. Two years ago, SC defeated Forreston in the quarterfinals 50-22 on the same field. “We’re excited to play them. We have some making up to do for what happened before,” Forreston Coach Denny Diduch said. Last week, Stark County pounded Polo 49-12, scoring on its first seven possessions, a mirror image to Forreston’s offensive performance against Hope. “I was surprised what they did to Polo,” Diduch said. Leading the team on offense for SC is senior quarterback Joe Charvat (5-8, 165), who has rushed for 690 yards and thrown for 1,246. Chicago Hope’s Justin Omokaye drags down Forreston running back Logan Rogers in the second quarter of their Top running back is junior Chase Johnston (5-10, 170), second round Class 1A game Saturday night. Photo by Chris Johnson who has 1,221 yards on 159 carries. Charvat’s main receiver is wide receiver Thorin Hicks (6-3, 185), who has 31 catches for 642 yards. The interior offensive line averages 6-1, 233 pounds. On the defense, the Rebels are roughly the same size in the line. “They have an extremely sound offense,” Diduch said. “It is different than we what we see in our conference because of the zone blocking.” Forreston and other teams in the NUIC block down on their opponents, creating one hole for the running back to hit. In zone blocking, like SC employs, the running back looks for an area to run at, thus creating more area for the defense to cover and more options for the runner. “That’s the beauty of it,” Diduch explained. Both teams average around 40 points a game, while only giving up 10. “I’m expecting more of a low scoring game,” Diduch said. “I don’t want to get in a shootout with them.” For the year, Forreston is approaching an impressive 4,000 yards gained rushing. The Cardinals have 3,993 Chicago Hope players take a knee while they watch medical personnel assist Forreston’s Aaron Shelton after a yards on 474 attempts, an 8.4 play. Shelton was helped walk off the field to the Cardinals sideline and appeared to be ready to return to the game average. They also have 779

Before kickoff of Nov. 8’s 1A second-round playoff game between Forreston and Chicago Hope, a Russian MIG, complete with afterburners, treated fans to a rare flyover. But once action started, it was the talented stable of Forreston ballcarriers using their afterburners to zoom past Hope Academy in a 49-6 romp. The Cardinals put up 329 rushing yards that stunned the visitors from the Northeastern Athletic league. And that was just in the first half, as Forreston took a 35-0 lead. “We saw what’s it’s like to be at another level,” Hope coach Stephen Pagh said. “That’s where we want to get to.” Hope (9-2) came in with four backs averaging over 13 yards per carry, and Keandre Murph ran for 16 yards on the first play from scrimmage. The Eagles then ran into a brick wall on the next three plays and had to punt. “It was good to get that first stop,” Forreston coach Denny Diduch said. “Their backs, especially [Lafayette] McGrary, were strong, fast, and elusive. He was a load.” On Forreston’s second play, it was Max Barkalow giving Hope an indication of what lay ahead with a 78yard sprint for a touchdown. Another punt gave the ball back to Forreston at its own 27-yard line. This time, it took six plays to score, as Logan Rogers (9 rushes, 126 yards) used precision downfield blocking to run in from 20 yards out. In that drive, Robert DeVries threw his only pass of the game, a sprint-out toss of 25 yards to tight end Dylan Hensley. “Our boys take pride in their blocking, and really like to hit,” Diduch said. Rogers then recovered a fumble on Hope’s next possession, and the Cardinals were on the move again. Barkalow tacked on another score for a 20-0 first-quarter lead. “We really hit our base Turn to B2 later in the evening. Photo by Chris Johnson

On defense, Diduch is impressed with nose tackle McCauley Johnston (60, 225), linebacker Logan Hollis (6-0, 185) and Hicks at end. “They have athletes all over the place, even the linemen,” Diduch said. “They could take their uniforms off and play basketball.” “We feel like we can do a lot of things offensively,” SC coach Jade Noard said. “We will look at their defense and try to find an advantage It only took a few strides for Forreston’s Max Barkalow to get in the secondary on his way for a touchdown to put that will allow us to be successful.

Noard is in his 10th year at SC and has a record of 71-18. “This is one of the more storied programs in 1A,” Diduch said. “I look forward to seeing how we fare against the big boys.” Game time is 5 p.m. at Gary Johnson Field in Wyoming, one of the better venues to watch a high school game. “It should be a great atmosphere,” Noard said. “People can get pretty close to the field at our place. I think it looks like a very even match-up. Both are very good teams that have had a lot of success this season.

Marcos only had one touchdown in the first half From A1 Grobe, who finished with 97 rushing yards, scored the lone first-half touchdown for the Marcos. The junior broke off a 48-yard run late in the first quarter to answer two quick Rebel scores. On a stretch run, Grobe bounced to the outside and made a slick cut up the middle between two defenders, and outran the Rebels defense to the pylon.

But while the scoring run breathed life into a shellshocked Polo team, the Stark County defense didn’t allow the Marcos much else. Polo tried that run several more times, but wasn’t successful. “There wasn’t much there,” Polo coach Andrew Hofer said. “They swarmed on defense, and they were fast to the ball.” This Saturday, Forreston travels to Stark County.

Byron rolls over Harper 51-16 to advance in 3A By Andy Colbert Reporter In a 51-16 win over Chicago Harper in the 3A playoffs on Nov. 8, Byron got one slight scare. With 32 seconds left in the half, Harper scored on a 29yard sideline fly pattern pass to close within 16-8. Just when it appeared the Tigers (7-4) would be content to take that lead into the third quarter, coach Jeff Boyer caught the visitors off guard with a trick play, in which Zach Cogswell lined up by himself away from the rest of the team and was snapped the ball for a 18-yard gain. â€œThat was a point in time where they were getting some momentum,â€? Boyer said. â€œJust donâ€™t let anyone else know about that (trick) play.â€? Then quarterback Payton Janssen found Cogswell for a 46-yard touchdown pass with five seconds left to make it 23-8. Byron never looked back after that and Harper (65) appeared demoralized. â€œThat play took the wind out of us,â€? Harper coach

Maris Carroll said. On Harperâ€™s first play from scrimmage in the second half, the ball was snapped over the quarterbackâ€™s head and the Tigers claimed their second safety of the game. Three plays later, Avery Carlson burst free for a 44-yard score and suddenly it was 32-8. Harper quarterback David Harvey was then intercepted by Cogswell and Byron put together another scoring drive, capped off a Carlson 9-yard run and 39-8 lead. â€œWe made them throw and our kids took control,â€? Boyer said. The Tigers held Harper to minus rushing yardage in the first half, including physical tackles for losses on the first two plays. â€œWe made plenty of mistakes, but they beat us up front in the line,â€? Carroll said. A wdie open Jacob Elsbury got Byron on the board first with a 23-yard pass from Janssen. â€œThey were biting hard at the line,â€? Janssen said. â€œThe play action worked great.â€? It was Janssen and Elsbury

again for 29 yards on the next possession to key a 9-play, 59-yard scoring drive. Griffin Thatcher literally walked into the end zone from one yard out and Byron led 14-0. â€œOur offensive and defensive lines are big physical and made pushes the whole game,â€? Janssen said. It was Elsbury and Riley Lorden, one of the so-called hogs from the line, that tackled Arjay Howard for the first safety of the game and 16-0 lead. Before the game, the linemen were even brought onto the field by a livestock trailer from an undisclosed spot in town. â€œSince we lost to Dixon (42-28 in week 9), everyone on the team has been stepping up,â€? Elsbury said. Carlson and Peyton Keller closed out the scoring for Byron with touchdown runs. â€œThis is a great feeling to be back in the quarterfinals,â€? said Boyer, the quarterback on Byronâ€™s 1999 statechampionship team. The Tigers will host Byronâ€™s Josh Larson and Jacob Elsbury tackle Chicago Harper fullback Arjay Howard Sterling Newman at 1:00 on in the endzone for a safety to give Byron a 16-0 lead Saturday afternoon in their Class 3A contest.

Oregon Hawks grounded by Newman Comets 50-12 By Ty Reynolds Sauk Valley Media In a clash between ballcontrol offenses, mistakes usually end up making all the difference. The Newman Comets took advantage of two first-half turnovers by the Oregon Hawks on Nov. 8 at Roscoe Eades Stadium in Sterling, turning them both into touchdowns en route to a 5012 victory in a second-round Class 3A playoff game. â€œTheyâ€™re not going to make a mistake for you, so when you make a mistake, itâ€™s a double whammy,â€? Oregon coach John Bothe said. â€œWe got out of sync with turnovers and penalties; we hurt ourselves in the first half more than we have all year, and that was a tough deal.â€? The first turnover swung the pendulum in Newmanâ€™s favor just a bit; the second shifted it for good. Facing a fourth down on its opening possession, Oregon (6-5) looked to have moved the chains on a short run by Garrett Rude. But the ball popped loose, and Newmanâ€™s

Trevor Bolin scooped it up and sprinted 41 yards to the end zone. â€œIt was crazy,â€? Bolin said. â€œI read the run and came up to fill in the outside in case he bounced it. I saw Shayne Allen come up and lay the hit, and the ball just hit the ground and bounced right up to me. I just grabbed it and ran for dear life.â€? â€œItâ€™s great to start off that way,â€? added Nolan McGinn, who ran for 124 yards and three touchdowns. â€œI was back there [in the secondary] and I didnâ€™t know what was going on, then I saw Trevor run into the end zone. We just kind of took the momentum from there.â€? Oregon had the answer, in the form of a 15-play, 73yard scoring drive that took more than 7 minutes off the clock. Garrett Rude (68 rushing yards) scored from 10 yards out, but the Hawks still trailed 8-6 after the conversion run failed. Newman (11-0) made it 14-6 when McGinn crashed in from 4 yards out on the first play of the second quarter, then it was the Comet defense

that stepped up again. On a third-down play, Oregon dropped back to pass for the first time. Dillan Heffelfinger read the play and

tipped the pass to himself, returning the interception 34 yards to the Oregon 11. Two Heffelfinger runs later, Newman led 22-6. â€œI didnâ€™t think the first turnover flattened us out too much, because we did a nice job taking it to them on the next drive,â€? Bothe said. â€œBut I thought the second turnover got us out of sync, and thatâ€™s unfortunate when youâ€™re playing a really, really good team.â€? After an Oregon punt, Newman took over at its own 31, and aided by four Oregon penalties â€“ two offsides, two personal fouls â€“ cashed in on McGinnâ€™s 7-yard scoring

run to take a 30-6 lead into halftime. The Comets got the ball to start the second half and marched 73 yards in six plays, capped by Heffelfingerâ€™s 6-yard TD run. â€œWeâ€™re just thriving off big plays right now, and weâ€™re making them whenever we get the chance,â€? said Heffelfinger, who ran for 61 yards and two TDs. â€œWeâ€™re coming out and hitting everyone in the mouth, just playing real physical, and using it to get a lot of big momentum shifts.â€? Oregon answered with a 25-yard scoring strike from Jerrick Orsted to Josh Cook,

but the Comets responded themselves with a nine-play scoring drive that resulted in McGinnâ€™s final TD run from 16 yards out. Brady Rude (95 rushing yards) tacked on a 10-yard TD run after an Oregon three-and-out for the final margin. â€œOregon has been in games where theyâ€™ve played from behind, and theyâ€™ve come back and won,â€? Bolin said. â€œSo we knew we couldnâ€™t take out foot off the gas, and we just had to keep going, keep pushing, keep doing what we were supposed to do.â€? Byron hosts Newman this Saturday at 1 p.m.

Third Round Action The Byron Tigers will host Sterling Newman on Saturday, Nov. 15 at 1 p.m. The Forreston Cardinals will travel to Toulon (Stark County) on Saturday, Nov. 15 at 5 p.m. Coverage of both of these games will appear in next weekâ€™s edition.

home for winter conditions now, rather than waiting until winter is upon us.” IEMA, the NWS and the American Red Cross developed a winter weather preparedness guide that covers winter weather terms and tips for staying safe at home, in the car and at school. The guide is available on the Ready Illinois website at www.Ready.Illinois.gov or by calling 217-785-9925.

Veterans urged to search for war medals llinois State Treasurer Dan Rutherford is encouraging veterans and their families to search for unclaimed war medals and military items. Operation Reunite researches the names from safe deposit boxes that were transferred to the treasurer’s office with military medals, ribbons, paperwork and more. “I am delighted that we have reunited families with these priceless heirlooms during the course of my administration through Operation Reunite,” said Rutherford in a Nov. 10 press release. “I hope that this reminder on Veterans Day brings attention to other medals

that we still have in our custody.” The Capitol vault currently holds 120 military medals. The current list of Operation Reunite names is available at www.treasurer. il.gov. Click on the Operation Reunite banner, and scroll down to see the list of names of people for whom the contents of safe deposit boxes have been transferred to the treasurer’s office. Additionally, Rutherford is reminding officials in The American Legion Posts and Auxiliary Units to check the I-Cash database to determine if their unit or auxiliary has unclaimed money.

The treasurer has worked with The American Legion-Department of Illinois during his term in office to discover $88,058.43 in unclaimed money. The I-Cash program helps reunite owners with their unclaimed property. The Unclaimed Property Division has $2.1 billion in cash, plus contents from Illinois safe deposit boxes that have been inactive for at least five years. To search for unclaimed property through I-Cash, visit the treasurer’s website at www.treasurer.il.gov and follow the I-Cash link.

Rid yourself of whatever is holding you back Thursday, November 13, 2014 Prepare to think fast and move with great speed this year. Be shrewd and rid yourself of whatever is holding you back. Your accuracy will be uncanny, and will win you the support you need to advance. If you implement your talents and ideas, they will mushroom into something terrific. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You may find that a special someone is feeling a little rejected. Unless the two of you start to communicate, there could be problems. Secret affairs could develop with someone at work. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t donate too much time or cash to organizations. You may find that you are being taken advantage of. Added responsibilities or demands may be inevitable. Make sure your priorities are straight. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Ask for favors, but offer something in return. You can successfully start your own business or get involved in a partnership. This is an excellent time to turn your dreams into reality.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Loose lips may be undermining your reputation. Don’t let others know your thoughts or what you’re up to. For the time being, focus on what you are trying to accomplish. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Creative courses will raise your earning potential and lead to a successful enterprise. Don’t go halfway; follow your ideas through to completion. Socialize with friends who can offer you mental stimulation. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will attract romantic partners with your charismatic personality and energetic approach to life. Don’t tell someone you love him or her if you aren’t sure that it’s so. Be certain of your feelings before you voice them aloud. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Friends or relatives may interfere with your personal objectives. If you need some advice, try to find someone who is impartial and knows the ins and outs of your situation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- This will not be the day to take chances. Lock your money up

where it’s safe. Stay out of stores where you might be enticed to purchase household items. Make sure that your legal affairs are in order. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your home environment appears to be extremely active. Plan your day carefully if you wish to dodge any setbacks. Make a list of priorities. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Difficulties with authority figures will surface. Be diplomatic so that you don’t antagonize someone, but don’t allow anyone to curtail your freedom, either. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Problems with groups may upset you. The only person you can really know and help is yourself. Put an effort into self-improvement. You will be successful. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Put your effort into getting your own work done, and refrain from interacting with peers who are just wasting time. Stay focused if you want to please everyone around you.
