Bench trial set in Mitchell case Judge will decide if man is insane By Chris Johnson Reporter
An end may be in sight for a case against a man accused of stabbing a Leaf River couple more than two years ago. Michael Mitchell, 29, Leaf River, appeared before Ogle County Judge John Redington Monday afternoon with his public defender Eric Morrow, who filed a motion for an affirmative defense. Morrow said the motion says Mitchell is not responsible for his conduct due to his mental disease. Assistant State’s Attorney Aaron Wiles did not object to the motion. Redington set a stipulated bench trial for Wednesday, Jan. 8 at 2 p.m. Mitchell will remain in the Ogle County Jail while awaiting the bench trial. At a bench trial, a judge decides whether a defendant
is guilty or innocent. In this case Redington will decide if Mitchell, who has been examined by mental health experts, is not guilty by reason of insanity. If he is determined to be insane, Mitchell could be committed to a secure mental health facility for an extended period of time. Mitchell is accused of breaking into the home of David and Denise Zellers on July 3, 2011 and repeatedly stabbing them with two knives he brought with him. Both suffered serious injuries and were taken to the hospital. They have since recovered. After fleeing on foot from the scene, Mitchell was taken into custody a short distance from the Zellers home after a five-hour manhunt. Mitchell is charged with four counts of attempted murder, all Class X felonies, two counts of home invasion, both Class X felonies, and four counts of aggravated battery, all Class 4 felonies.

Judge agrees to reduce Steder’s bond to $25,000 By Vinde Wells Editor
A Mt. Morris man accused of hate crimes and battery is out of jail after an Ogle County judge reduced his bond last week. Matthew Steder, 22, posted bond and was released after Judge Robert Hanson reduced his bond from $250,000 to $25,000 at a hearing Dec. 6. Steder is charged with three counts of hate crimes, Class 4 felonies, one count of aggravated battery, a Class 3 felony, and three counts of battery in connection with an underage drinking party last August that resulted in the death of an Oregon teen. He has been held in the Whiteside County Jail since he turned himself in to Ogle County Sheriff’s Police on Nov. 28. The motion for a bond reduction was filed by Steder’s attorney David Tess, Rochelle. Hanson said he agreed that the original bond was set too high, but voiced concerns over Steder’s criminal past. “I’m concerned over his history at such a young age,� Hanson said. “I believe the bond at $250,000 is too high, but I believe it should be sufficiently high to ensure he will appear in court.� Hanson reduced the bond and set several conditions Steder must adhere to, including no consumption of alcohol or any drugs other than prescribed by a doctor, no violations of the law, and
he must continue to reside with his mother and stepfather in Mt. Morris. Tess said Steder has a good job that is being held for him. He said his client wants to return to work. Assistant State’s Attorney Josh Versluys objected to the bond reduction. He said Steder is accused of three crimes of violence against three different victims in the current case, and has a history of violent behavior and alcohol abuse. Steder is one of two men charged with hate crimes stemming from a drinking party in Oregon on Aug. 10 where a fight broke out that resulted in the death of 18-year-old Jonathan Williams. Justin Coltrain, 33, Mt. Morris, also appeared before Hanson on Dec. 6. He is charged with one count each of hate crime and battery. Ogle County State’s Attorney Michael Rock said the two made the racial slurs against African Americans who were also at the party and struck them. Hanson appointed Oregon attorney Dennis Riley, a public defender, to represent Coltrain in court. Coltrain requested Riley because he is already representing him in another case. Coltrain is currently being held in the Whiteside County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bond. Coltrain and Steder, who Turn to A3

Candlelight Walk 2013 ~We Thank You! Events like the 27 th annual Candlelight Walk are made possible by the generous support, contributions and volunteerism of many. The Oregon Chamber of Commerce and the Candlelight Walk Committee are grateful for this continuing support from many businesses, services, and sponsors. The Oregon Park District, Oregon Street, Police and Fire Departments, City Hall and Ehmen’s build the backbone to this “small town tradition”. We are so thankful for everything they do to help us create this fun filled family evening. We extend an “extra special thanks” to: Exelon, KSB Medical Group and Mini Mart for sponsoring the horse and carriage / wagon rides, and to First National Bank for sponsoring and hosting the live reindeer. These businesses allow us to provide you with free attractions that bring many a smile to the faces of young and old alike. Keep your eyes open for Santa and the “Missus” …They will visit Oregon again from 9am – Noon on December 14 th and 21 st! Merry Christmas To All !

a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Highland Community College in Freeport After the initial training, 60 hours of volunteer work are required over a two-year period. Once the 60 hours are completed the volunteer becomes a certified Master Gardener. To maintain active status, each year the volunteer must complete 30 hours of volunteer work and 10 hours of continuing education. As volunteers, Master Gardeners make a difference in the community. Over the last year, the 22 active Master Gardeners in Ogle County contributed over 1,500 volunteer hours, answering homeowners’ gardening questions, teaching gardening lessons
for children, planning and presenting at educational workshops, working with 4-H and local organizations. Pre-registration is required to attend Master Gardener Training. An orientation interview will be conducted with participants in advance of the class. Registration for the training is $175. For more information or to register call Lisa Valle, Extension program coordinator at 815732-2191 or visit us on the web at web.extension.illinois. edu/bdo. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in this program, please contact the Unit Office at least two weeks prior to the event.

Ogle County Clovers 4-H Club had a busy schedule Submitted by Austin Zuercher Club Reporter The Ogle County Clovers 4-H Club has had a busy couple of months. On Nov. 17 the OCC joined other 4-H clubs from Ogle County over at the Byron Civic Center for a Red Carpet Award Ceremony. The club itself won several awards including a traveling trophy for Personal Development (Theatre Arts) entitling them to the trophy for one year and patch for their club banner. All the clubs received their awards to close out the 2012-2013 season and the kids and family had some fun while the “paparazzi� photographed them on the red carpet entrance in the building. At the Nov. 14 meeting they made DNA necklaces. They learned that each
person’s DNA strand is a bit different, either forming a string, what looks like a tiny round cloud or a mini-cotton looking ball. Their club committees have since been busy too, such as organizing games and prizes to help out at Oregon’s Candlelight Walk on Nov. 30. Then on Dec. 5 they held and organized a Culture Potluck party at the Farm Bureau Building in Oregon and had some guest speakers too. First they had two foreign exchange students from Germany and Finland, and had the opportunity to find out some fun facts about each country compared to the United States. Then they also had some guest speakers who came and spoke about raising money to help families in Uganda. These guests shared some of the interesting ways jewelry,
baskets and toys are made over there. The guests also explained that children and families in Uganda do not have the luxuries of TV, video games or even the toys and portable electronics that we are accustomed to here in the US. Education and raising animals are of top priorities for family survival there. For fun they had a gift exchange and cookie contest with prizes awarded for three top categories. Brayden Dale, Lindenwood, won for “most chocolatey�, Megan Ackland, Rochelle, for “best decorated�, and Jordan Mingus, Byron, for “best overall�. The Ogle County Clovers have overall had an educational, yet fun and busy couple of months. The next regular meeting will be held Thursday, Jan. 9 starting at 6:30 p.m. for Cloverbuds (ages 5-7), and
Ogle County Clovers members posed for a photo before the crowds arrived at Oregon’s Candlelight Walk on Nov. 30. Pictured left to right in the front row are: Gracie Mingus, Ariel Zuercher, Tucker Greffe, Alayna Smardo, Austin Zuercher, and Callie Ackland.

Pest workshops will be available University of Illinois Extension has announced the dates for its Illinois First Detector Invasive Pest Workshops covering important landscape and nursery pests, diseases, and invasive plants. Workshops will be offered at six locations in Illinois beginning January. The focus of the workshops will be on potential oak threats in Illinois. Each location will have sessions devoted to emerging and current oak pests and diseases such as the oak splendor beetle, goldspotted oak borer, sudden oak death, and others. A session will also be devoted to invasive plants introduced as ornamentals, such as burning bush, Bradford pear, and Japanese barberry. A discussion will be held on the use of alternative, noninvasive ornamentals that could be utilized within the landscape. “Early detection and response is the key to managing invasive pests, diseases, and plants. The Illinois First Detector Workshops are aimed at improving first detector training and invasive species
awareness,� said Stephanie Porter, a U of I Plant Clinic diagnostic outreach specialist. Much like the initial workshops in 2013, these indepth training sessions will cover material that includes: Identification/detection, life cycle/biology, hosts, sampling, management, and commonly confused look a likes. Once again, those attending will also take part in hands-on activities, which will allow attendees to examine these pests and diseases in more detail. “New this year, will be a session devoted to safeguarding and regulation, and how these actions play a
crucial role when it comes to invasive pests and diseases,� said Kelly Estes, U of I state survey coordinator of the Illinois Cooperative Agriculture Pest Survey (CAPS). “This information will help to address some very interesting questions that were raised last year.� The target audience includes certified arborists, tree care professionals, master gardeners, master naturalists, forestry and natural resource professionals, conservationists, and others with an interest in trees. An application has been made for the following Continuing Education Units
(CEUs): IAA Certified Arborists, Continuing Forestry Education Credits, Professional Landcare Network, and Golf Course Superintendent’s Association of America. A workshop will be held in Rockford, Thursday, Feb. 27 Klehm Arboretum, Contact: Candice Miller, mille116@illinois.edu Those interested in attending should contact the host locations above for registration.

Coach Zigler is an experienced coach, who provides great leadership. We look forward to an exciting season. Good luck to the wrestlers of the Polo and Forreston co-op team. Dawn Plock Leaf River

Oregon police investigating two recent burglaries By Vinde Wells Editor Oregon Police are seeking information from the public about two recent burglaries. A burglar or burglars made force entry into the Oregon Pizza Hut, 404 E. Washington St., in the early morning hours of Dec. 6 and
took an undisclosed amount of money. Oregon Police Chief Darin DeHaan said employees coming to work reported the burglary at 8:28 a.m. He declined to say how the burglar or burglars got into the building. The burglary likely occurred between 2 and 6 a.m.
The public is encouraged to come forward with any information pertaining to the incident. “We canvassed the neighborhood but if someone driving by saw a suspicious vehicle in the area or saw or heard something we would like to know about it,� DeHaan said.
Police are also seeking information about burglaries Nov. 22 to three vehicles parked in the Oregon Elementary School lot during the Thanksgiving tournament hosted by the Oregon High School girls basketball team. DeHaan said three locked vehicles were broken into
and items were stolen. Some of the items were recovered at traffic pull-off locations on Ill. 2 north of Oregon, he said. “This kind of crime is rare in Oregon,� DeHaan said. He urged residents not to leave valuables unattended in their vehicles at any time. Anyone with information

Judge wants to speed up case By Vinde Wells Editor The case of an Oregon woman accused of misappropriating funds was continued Dec. 6 in Ogle County Court to allow her new attorney time to study documents. Judge Robert Hanson granted motion filed by Rockford attorney Christopher DeRango for a continuance for his client Jessica McCanse, 35. McCanse is charged with theft,
a Class 2 felony, and has pleaded not guilty. DeRango said he had recently taken over the case and needed more time to read through the numerous financial records associated with it. Public defender Eric Morrow previously represented McCanse. Hanson set a status hearing for Jan. 17, but said the case needs to move forward. “Let’s put some time restrictions on this,� Hanson said. “This case
is getting old.� According to court documents, McCanse, who was arrested July 3, 2012, is accused of taking between $10,000 and $100,000 in U.S. currency from the Byron Museum District between July 3, 2009 and February of 2011. McCanse was employed as the museum director when the alleged theft took place and later resigned from the post. The Illinois State Police conducted the investigation.

Exelon Nuclear officials appeal tax assessment By Vinde Wells Editor Exelon Nuclear officials have filed a tax appeal asking that the assessment of the Byron Generating Station is cut in half. According to their appeal filed Nov. 12, Exelon contends the value of the generating station totals $252,937,302, just 49.6 percent of the $509,444,605 set by Ogle County Supervisor of Assessments Jim Harrison. The appeal is for the generating station’s 2013 assessment, which affects taxes payable in 2014. The assessment is slightly
higher than the $499 million set by Harrison last year. “I bumped it up based on the assessments of other nuclear plants and the likelihood that a license extension will be granted,� Harrison said Dec. 6. Exelon has applied for a 20-year extension to its current licenses, which expire in 2025 and 2027. Exelon officials also appealed last year’s assessment, but the Ogle County Board of Review (BOR) upheld the value set by Harrison. Exelon appealed the BOR decision to the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board, which has not yet
“I bumped it up based on the assessments of other nuclear plants and the likelihood that a license extension will be granted,� — Jim Harrison Supervisor of Assessments made its ruling. The BOR will hear this year’s appeal in January. Exelon paid more than $32 million in real estate taxes this year to 11 taxing bodies, which include Ogle County, Rockvale Township, Byron School District, Oregon School District, Oregon Park District,
Byron Fire District, Rock Valley College, Byron Public Library District, Byron Museum District, Byron Forest Preserve District, and Kishwaukee Community College. The value of the Byron Generating Station has frequently been disputed throughout the history of the facility.
A four-year agreement between the taxing bodies and Exelon for the plant’s assessment expired at the end of 2011. The agreement, approved in November of 2010, set the assessed value of the nuclear plant at $450 million for 2008, $460 million in 2009, $470 million in 2010, and $480 million in 2011. Besides setting the plant’s value, the agreement settled a lawsuit and numerous tax appeals filed between 2005 and 2008. Commonwealth Edison, which formerly owned the plant, filed its first tax in 1989 when the assessment
was more than $1 billion. The following year, the affected taxing bodies formed the Ogle County Intergovernmental Agency Board to fight the tax appeals. The first multi-year agreement, approved in early 1998, set the assessments for 1997-2004 at $471 million and settled a decade of lawsuits and tax appeals. Construction of the Byron Generating Station began in 1975. The first reactor started producing electricity in 1985 and the second went on line in 1987.

Sports Column Huskie football buzz still remains strong By Andy Colbert Reporter A few years ago, this quote came out of the Northern Illinois University football community: “We want to be the next Boise State.� Considering NIU hadn’t even won a conference title since 1983 and was spending the post season in lower tier bowls such as the Independence or Humanitarian that seemed like heady talk. However, when an unlikely chain of events fell into place in a way that even the most ardent of Huskie fan could ever of dreamed of, the school suddenly found itself in the national spotlight with an invitation to the Orange Bowl last year.
Though Florida State won that game 31-10, NIU gained a newfound status at the national level. Going into 2013, the buzz for Huskie football remained strong, especially with Heisman candidate Jordan Lynch returning. SI.com listed NIU in its top 25 pre-season rankings. USA Today had them at number 21. SB Nation called NIU the 19th most interesting program in the country. Another publication pointed out that Alabama, Oregon, Stanford, Boise and NIU were the only programs to win at least 10 games the last three years. A headline in SI Insider read, “Cinderella, The Sequel?� That’s pretty heady stuff for a mid-major football program, but can be lost so easily. With how fragile the ecosystem of national prominence is for non-BSC schools like NIU, it was absolutely essential that the Huskies beat Iowa in the
season opener. They did that and were able to stay on the media bandwagon. Each week, the groundswell of support got stronger for the new “Boise State� from the cornfields of DeKalb, IL. To the chagrin of ESPN analysts such as David Pollack and Kirk Herbstreit, who loudly criticized NIU’s selection to the Orange Bowl, the Huskies went through the regular season unscathed, drawing more and more national press as a BSC bracket buster. Combine that with Lynch’s growing popularity as maybe the best player in the country and Huskie fans had to be pinching themselves to ensure this wasn’t a dream. At the beginning of the year, one oddsmaker put Lynch’s Heisman hopes at 40-1. Prior to the MAC championship, they had gone down to 7-2 and straw polls had him as second only to Jameis Winston of Florida

State. Lynch was all but assured of a coveted trip to New York as one of the finalists for the Heisman. And, NIU only had to beat Bowling Green to get an invitation to the prestigious Fiesta Bowl. Considering all that was at stake, was it a case of the pressure getting too much to handle? Or were weaknesses of an overrated team finally exposed? Whatever it was, Bowling Green was decidedly the better of the two teams Friday at Ford Field in the MAC championship game. And, for the first time all year, Lynch was out-played by the opposing quarterback. No more BSC talk for NIU. Scratch those travel plans to Phoenix, site of the
Fiesta Bowl. No longer was coach Rod Carey in demand by sports talk shows. Even Lynch’s trip to New York went from a certainty to a maybe. Perhaps the biggest hit from the loss was sacrificing the $17-million payout from the Fiesta Bowl to the $500,000 that lesser bowls offer. That’s how tenuous it is for a program like NIU, which had rose to No. 14 in the BCS rankings before its loss to Bowling Green. Sure, the Huskies got an invite to the Poinsettia Bowl against Utah State. But, compared to the wild ride of college football prominence they had enjoyed since exactly a year ago when the BCS bowl parings came
Andy Colbert out, it will be like riding the kiddie cars. Oh well. The thrill-aminute roller coaster the Huskies had been sure was fun while it lasted.

Suspicious person report leads to soft lockdown Oregon schools implement safety measures By Vinde Wells Editor The report of a suspicious person on the west side of Oregon last week prompted school officials to enact safety measures. “We received a call from Oregon police indicating someone reported seeing a suspicious person in a vehicle driving in town,” Superintendent Tom Mahoney said Tuesday. “As a precaution we implemented our soft lockdown protocol.” Oregon Police Chief Darin DeHaan said a woman and her daughter reported Dec. 4 at 8:28 a.m. that they saw middle-aged white man holding a handgun as he drove by in a light brown pick-up truck in the 800 block of Clay Street. Because the schools are nearby, DeHaan said school district officials were alerted as a precautionary measure. Police investigated, DeHaan said, but were unable to identify a vehicle or person meeting the description. Later that morning, he said, another citizen reported seeing someone of a similar description going through trash set on the curb or “junking.” Within a couple of hours, DeHaan said, police determined no danger existed, and the school lifted the soft lockdown. DeHaan said the police department is still watching for the vehicle, which was
described as a late 90s or early 2000s light brown Chevrolet S-10 or Ford Ranger. Mahoney said a soft lockdown is employed when there is a threat outside the school but no immediate threat to the students inside the school. Teaching goes on as usual. Depending on the situation, class changes may also take place. Examples of when a soft lockdown might be appropriate, he said, are if the police are looking for a felon in the area, during a toxic spill event near the school, or other threat where students are safer and better managed inside. A hard lockdown would be implemented for a more serious situation. “A hard lockdown is typically defined as students locked in their classrooms seated along a wall out of sight of windows and doors,” Mahoney said. “Lights are usually turned off, and no teaching is done until the threat passes. This is the usual response for an intruder inside the building or other serious, immediate threats.” The school district staff and local police took part in active shooter drills at all three school buildings earlier this fall. The drills were coordinated through the Rock Valley College Police Department. A drill was held Oct. 10 at Oregon Elementary School and on Dec. 3 at David L. Rahn Junior High and Oregon High School. The Oregon and Mt. Morris Police Departments participated in their respective communities.
