Shriners ride through Leaf River Summer Daze By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com The sight of small cars and planes driving down the street is a common sight at many local parades. That was the case Sunday afternoon in Leaf River when several waves of Shriners took to the streets for the Summer Daze Grand Parade. “When you get a thank you, you know you are helping the kids,” said Dean White, a member of the Shrine Club in Freeport. “One girl at a local parade had a sign that said ‘thank you Shriners.’ She had surgeries at our hospital.” The local Shriners raise money for the Shriners Hospitals for Children in Chicago. Riding in the parade is a fun way to get the word our about the mission of the organization. “I have been riding in the parades for 20 years,” said White. “All money we raise from parade appearances goes to the hospital. We do this for the children.” White rides one of the small cars, but there are other units that attend parades. The Shriners have an air squadron of airplane themed cars that ride in parades. At Leaf River there were A Tebala Shrine Klown gains some speed as he drives down Main Street in Leaf River Sunday.

Shriners are Masons. “We are all Mason members, but not all Masons are Shriners,” said White. Before or after any parade White said he encourages people to approach a Shriner to ask them about why they are fundraising. The Summer Daze parade also featured the world famous Phantom Regiment. “The Phantom Regiment is a professional organization that performs nationwide,” said drum major Carl Huang. “In August we will compete in the national finals.” The visit to Leaf River is always the ceremonial start to the season for the regiment. “Leaf River is the first public performance the regiment has each year,” said Huang. “This is a showcase of who we are and is the first time we get to perform.” The Phantom Regiment is based in Rockford and auditions are required to join. Huang said 300 musicians perform for the band and another 300 audition for the colors. “It is an honor to be selected to perform with the Phantom Regiment,” said Huang. “Players with skills should audition.” The regiment marched through the streets of Leaf River with military precision while wearing their clean pressed uniforms and polished instruments. A warm sunny day made for the perfect end to the wellattended three-day festival.

out a single bill for water, sewer, and garbage. Trustee Gary Buss asked what portion of the bill money will be applied to first if a homeowner does not pay the entire bill. “Maybe 50 percent to each,” trustee Jeff Freeze said. “I don’t know. For instance if they pay 50 percent of the bill then spread it out.” The village’s billing system may need to be looked to see how payments can be applied. What is guaranteed is that Moring will be paid. A single bill will be sent to the village each month. The village sends out bills to each of the 591 water and sewer accounts. Board members also asked about if a homeowner will be charged for garbage pick-up when they are out of town for the winter. Harn said the ordinance that will be presented to the board has a snowbird clause to allow for suspending service. The one thing they do not want to have happen is for a rental property to continuously start and stop garbage collection. The board will continue contract discussions during future meetings.

you to bring more companies to Illinois to make things with you. That is what this is about.” Illinois has a proud history that has gone the wrong way for decades, thanks to House Speaker Michael Madigan and other Democrats in Springfield, he said. “Our jobs have been pushed out of the state. We’ve got to change it. We are fighting for you, to change the system,” Rauner said. “We are going to change the political system. We are going to have term limits and we are going to have fair maps for the election. The property taxes are too darned high, we need to take them down.” The state’s $7 billion deficit, and this past year without a budget, are “irresponsible,” Rauner said, asking Woods workers to contact Madigan’s office to demand a budget be approved. “We can not be held hostage. Don’t hold up our schools, our budget, for Chicago,” Rauner said. “They should vote for their district, not for the Chicago machine and Speaker Madigan. That is what this is for.” When the Legislature adjourned last Friday, members “left town without doing anything,” Rauner said. “They did pass Illinois State Healthy Puppy Day. That is nice. It is nice to have healthy puppies. They passed 400 bills but couldn’t pass a balanced budget. They are failing you.” Without a budget, communities and schools will be the ones hurting the
most, he said. “Madigan has a supermajority, and they control the spending, They said they do not want your schools to open without a bailout for Chicago,” Rauner said. “Your tax dollars belong in your community, not Chicago.” Rauner asked if any employees had any questions. “If they are not doing their job in Springfield, why are we still paying their salary?” one asked. “That is a great question,” Rauner said. “Speaker Madigan passed a law that without a budget, they would get continuous appropriations, so they get paid no matter what. That is wrong. They should not get paid.” But Comptroller Leslie Munger decided to stop paying the legislators and put their paychecks with the rest of the unpaid bills, so “they are not getting any pay right now,” Rauner said.
State Rep. Tom Demmer (R-Dixon) also was at Woods. “It is great to see him here,” Demmer said. “We have good employees, and I am proud that the governor is connecting to the area.” Ogle County Board Chairman Kim Gouker, also a Republican, was happy to see Rauner addressing the needs of smaller communities. “He is strongly working to bring manufacturing jobs to Illinois, and he is supporting the local manufacturers,” Gouker said. “It was great to see him here today.” With Woods being located just south of the Oregon city limits, Mayor Ken Williams knows the impact the factory has on the local economy. “Woods is a long time manufacturer in the community,” said Williams. “They play a role in the economic health of the city. It is gratifying to see the governor here today.”

Funeral services Monday for former Oregon businessman By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com A former Oregon businessman, murdered last week in Loves Park, was remembered by his family and friends June 6. Funeral services for Byron native Joseph Pendergrass, 59, former owner of Jay’s Drive-In, were held Monday afternoon at Heartland Community Church, Rockford. Pendergrass was stabbed in the Advanced Medical Rehabilitation parking lot on Windsor Road in Loves Park around 6:30 p.m. May 31, and later pronounced dead at Rockford Memorial
Hospital. Roland Romeo Breault, 52, Rockford, an acquaintance of Pendergrass, was arrested a short time later and is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, according to Winnebago County Court records. He is being held in the Winnebago County Jail on $1 million bond, and a hearing is set for June 30. Pendergrass purchased Jay’s Drive-In, 107 W. Washington St., Oregon, when he was 26 years old and owned it for more than 20 years. He sold it to his niece, Vicky Wilken, and her
husband Terry in 2006. “Joe had a really dynamic personality and everyone liked him,� Terry Wilken said. “Whenever you are at a large gathering, it seemed like everyone wanted to talk to Joe. You only had a few minutes, but you seemed to want more time.� After the Wilkens took over the drive-in, Pendergrass financed it for a year so they could get the business going, he said. “Those are the things about Joe that people don’t know. He always went above and beyond for the people he loved.� Pendergrass was raised in Byron and graduated from Byron High School in 1975.

Residents to receive jury duty info Ogle County Circuit Clerk Kim Stahl advised residents to watch the mail for an important message. “If you receive a postcard from the Ogle County Circuit Clerk’s Office, don’t throw it away,� she said.  That postcard is the official notification that a jury questionnaire must be completed; it directs recipients to a website where they can fill out the required questionnaire.  “It’s the Ogle County Circuit Clerk’s Office newest attempt at making the jury process more efficient and user-friendly,� Stahl said.  The questionnaires are used to identify qualified
jurors, who may be summoned for jury service.  For anyone who does not have access to a computer, the postcard provides a phone number to request a paper questionnaire. “Our hope is the majority of people will take advantage of the technology,� Stahl said. The new postcards with the QR code are part of a recent upgrade to the jury
system that makes Ogle County one of the first in the state to allow potential jurors to electronically complete their questionnaires with a computer or smart device.  “We tried to make it as user-friendly as we could and as clear and concise as we could. The hope is that not only is it less expensive for the court, but that it is more convenient for the potential juror,� Stahl said.
Weather Forecast Temperatures normal to a little warmer than normal. Scattered storms, not much wind on most days. Best chances for storms are 9-11,
12-14, and 19-20. Weather unstable 12-20. May was a trifle warmer and wetter than normal.

Man will discuss his hiking trip Jim Cole, Polo, will make a short presentation on Monday, June 20 at 6 p.m. at The Serenity Shed, 131 N. Third St., Oregon, about his recent adventure hiking for Serenity Hospice and Home. Refreshments will be served and everyone is invited. Cole, a 69- year-old retired teacher, was up for a new adventure. He had decided to raise money for Serenity Hospice and Home as he hiked the Pacific Crest Trail. He was prepared mentally
and had trained physically. The trail is known as one of the most challenging in the United States. Cole and his two sons left on a sunny morning in April and began the beautiful and challenging hike. It became clear early on to Cole that something wasn’t quite right. He didn’t feel as strong as he should have and the trail seemed increasing difficult and hard. He had committed to walking 100 miles for Serenity Hospice, but
physically problems presented themselves that would make completing impossible. His two sons insisted he stop and they themselves completed the 100 miles in his honor. Cole then spent the rest of the week helping others along the trail and became a trail angel of sorts. Although he did not complete the journey on foot, his assistance at all the stopping points allowed dozens of others to complete the journey.

On May 16, we had a presentation for the ladies about makeup and interesting tips for skin care. On July 14, our expert Marcia Heuer will present Frogs and Toads. With such various subjects, we can certainly get our minds sharpened and enjoy it. I know many are reminded of their childhood and earlier days. We have had wonderful musical programs with the talented groups bot vocal and instrumental,. Many thanks to the staff who “find” these wonderful people who have an ability to “keep us up to par” with more than bingo and cards, etc. No offense. I personally get a lot out of these programs,not for just an hour and I want to thank all those who put the effort forth, present and are so knowledgeable in this respect. Many thanks.
Public Voice Letting others help through difficult times Dear Editor, I may not have experienced what most of you reading this have, growing up in a loving family. However, as we get older we learn to deal with the pain the past may have caused. As we learn to deal with that, we also open up our hearts to others hoping to fill that void. We open our hearts and minds for those who’ve done the same for us. If you’re reading this and you’re one of those people who still have that void, you’re not alone. It’s not the end of your world. The problem isn’t that you haven’t found the people to fill that void, the problem is you haven’t opened your heart enough. I know what you’re feeling, I’ve been there. It can sometimes be so overwhelming that you think it’s not worth it, I’m afraid to deal with anymore pain. Not worth making or let alone having friends because you’re not willing to set yourself up for disappointment? Setting yourself up means you’ve already blocked that void you so eagerly want to fill. You can’t be afraid of disappointment, disappointment happens. It’s with us always. It’s with you when you’re driving your car, it’s with you when you’re shopping in the grocery store, it’s with you when you’re changing clothes, disappointment will always be with you regardless of the time or place. How you face it will determine how disappointed you may or may not get. You can’t go through life one sided, if you do, then you’ll be alone. I don’t mean alone as in going through life without someone being around you, I
mean alone in that void. If you happen to meet that one person who cares for you more than you feel you care for yourself, let them in, let them help fill that void, let them show you that disappointment can’t win. Greg Welenc Oregon
Repurpose those vacant buildings as homes Dear Editor, Small cities have effete ordinances that make it difficult for owners of old, vacant, commercial buildings to sell their property. Meanwhile, they must still pay their bills: PTAX, maintenance, utilities and insurance; some also require grounds-keeping. Small retail stores are no longer viable in today’s economy. Even the largest stores are struggling to survive. Many people would like to occupy/reside in vacant, ground level stores in buildings without elevators. Understanding the condition of the world economy today, why not remove these restrictions and allow these buildings to be used? They would then serve a purpose and be better maintained. Neighborhood stores, as we knew them, are gone and are not coming back. Paul C. Detmer Oregon
Baccalaureate service honored Polo students Dear Editor, I recently attended the baccalaureate service at Polo High School. I would like to thank the Polo Community Council of Churches for sponsoring this event. This year’s committee of Karen Merlak, Tommy
Bardell, and Clint Merlak were in charge of working with the Council of Churches. I would also like to thank the Polo High School for opening their doors for this event. I feel fortunate to live in a country that still includes this religious service. For many who have never attended this type of service, you have missed the inspirational message given to the graduates. Bill Hare did an excellent job this year. Tommy Bardell gave the student motivational speech. Clint Merlak read the scripture lesson. Pastor Terrie Wilder presented the blessing and benediction. Doug Knapp entertained us with special music. Christopher Rademacker was the organist for the service. There were 42 graduates this year. I applaud the relatives, friends, and others who came to baccalaureate to honor the four students who attended. I hope that future classes will make this service a priority. Sincerely, Betty Ebert Polo
Dear Editor, I feel that the world is in chaos and our own USA is becoming torn apart by citizens who have lost track of our history and what it took to get us to where we are now. I realize we have a long way yet to go but it seems over the past years we have lost that passion and drive to sustain what we have worked so hard for. Reviving patriotism in our country needs to start now. For starters I have a real problem with citizens of our nation not showing due

respect for our nation’s flag. During our National Anthem it’s a travesty to see those who are displaying total disregard and disrespect to our nation and to those who have served in the military and those in law enforcement. They all serve our nation under oath to protect us all. The United States Flag Code is a set of guidelines that lays forth proper American Flag etiquette for just about every scenario you can think of, including how to act during the singing of the National Anthem. Specifically look at Title 36 of the US Flag Code, Section 301: * Everyone present, except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the American flag with their right hand over their heart. Head wear shall be removed (unless for religious reasons or a person in uniform) and held over your left shoulder thus placing your hand over your heart. And to do so in silence. * Everyone present, except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the American flag.

Becca Wagner scattered four hits enroute to her first win of the season. Offensively, Polo established itself early in the game with four runs in the bottom of the first. Alex Dusing led off by driving a ball to the base of the fence in left center for a home run. Two base on balls later found Harper Clark smacking a single to right to score two more runs. Two walks and a steal of home plate saw Polo take a 4-0

Summer softball action between Polo and Forreston By Larry Loomis In action Saturday, June 4, Polo Two of the Junior Division hosted Forreston Two. This contest turned out to be a hard-fought affair with Polo emerging as 13-10 victors. Polo scored first with five runs in the bottom of the second. Reylee Katner started things off in the inning by drawing a walk. Gracen Pitts drilled a shot to deep in left as Katner scored. Olivia Paul walked to put runners on first and second. Katrina O’Connell then singled to score Pitts. April Calderon walked to fill the bases. Kadence Sheaffer
walked to force in a run. The scoring was completed as Braelyn Velez and Emmalee Gilbert walked to bring in two more runs as Polo took a 5-0 lead. Forreston immediately responded with a six spot in the top of the fourth with just a solo hit. Sandwiched around the hit, however, were six walks and a hit batsman as the visitors took a 6-5 advantage. Polo came right back with six runs in the bottom of the inning. Maddi Jones opened the inning by crushing a ball to the fence in left field over a drawn in infield. Reylee Katner walked. Gracen Pitts followed Katner with a single. Following a strikeout, Katrina O’Connell walked to fill the bases.
April Calderon was hit by a pitch to bring in a run. Following another out, Velez and Gilbert drew walks to force in two more runs as Polo took an 11-6 lead. Forreston rallied again in the top of the fifth as they picked up four runs to close to 11-10. In the bottom of the inning, Polo got two more runs to complete the scoring as the time limit was reached as Polo held on for the 13-10 win. Polo had seven hits for the day. Gracen Pitts, the starting and winning pitcher had two doubles and a single to pace the offense. Maddi Jones had a home run. In the second game of the day, Polo Three hosted Forreston One.
Forreston was undefeated on the season with a 4-0 won/loss record. This was a game of dueling hurlers as Polo’s Natalie Nelson battled Forreston’s Brooke Boettner. As the day ended Nelson and her team would prevail by a 4-3 margin. Forreston scored first with a run in the top of the first. Following two strikeouts, Brooke Boettner reached on a walk. A base on ball and then an error resulted in Boettner scoring to give Forreston an early 1-0 lead. The guests would add a pair of runs in the top of the third to go up 3-0. A two-out double by Boettner put her in scoring a position. Bryona Harson reached on a walk.
Then, Rylee Broshous tripled to score Boettner and Harson to up Forreston’s lead to 3-0. At this point, things were looking pretty good for the visitors as Boettner was dominating Polo’s hitters. Things changed quickly, however, in the bottom of the fourth. After Nelson and company gave Forreston nothing in the top of the fourth, Polo came alive in the bottom of the inning to score four runs. Aylivia Danekas led off the inning with a walk. Natalie Nelson helped out her own cause by drilling a double to left center to score Danekas. Taylor Turnow drew a base on ball. Then, with two down and the score 3-1, Forreston, Kayla Boelens
smashed a ball to the base of the fence in left for a home run to give Polo a 4-3 lead they would not surrender. Forreston did make a gallant effort to tie the game in the top of the sixth and final inning. Katie Bismark led off the inning with a double to right and went to third on an infield out. Natalie Nelson bore down and struck out the next batter with Bismark still at third. Then, Nelson ran the count to 3-2 on Kia Stralow and then struck her out to end the thrilling game. For the day, Polo collected just two hits, the biggest, Kayla Boelens’ three run homer. Forreston had three hits. Nelson struck out eleven batters while Brooke Boettner recorded 13 K’s.
Sports Column A look back and into the future
By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com
With the school year ending, it is time to review the past nine months and look ahead to the future. The Polo football team made the biggest splash of all, advancing to the quarterfinals and being the only team left standing from the NUIC. The fact that no one else from the state’s best 1A football conference made it out of the second round was a bit quizzical. Galena was an under achiever, Dakota seemed to have internal problems and Le-Win might not have been as good as advertised. Polo had as much talent in
the skill positions as any team in the state, but was lacking a bit up front. Still, an 11-1 record is a tremendous year. Even though they also lost to Stark County, Forreston ended the season on a high note and are one of my favorites to contend for a 1A title this fall. With so many juniors playing key roles that might be a year ahead of schedule. However, Forreston has a practice and game system superior to most small schools and will also have a stout line. I don’t know the new coach Jeff Bumstead very well, but every person connected with Polo football speaks highly of him; at least the ones I’ve run into. That’s is rare. It sounds like the school got the man they were looking for. With Hank Grobe as top assistant, the Marcos are keeping it all in house.
Even with all the graduation losses, Polo will compete with Stockton for the NUIC Upstate division title. In volleyball, Forreston will have some questions to answer as vaunted coach Shannon Williams begins her second year. It was a feeling out period in 2015 and Williams and the players will have a better idea of what direction the program is headed this fall. The biggest disappointment of the entire school year, at least for me, was the Polo basketball team losing to Princeville in the first game of the regional. This was the same team ranked No. 4 in the 1A when the season began. The Marcos had some high spots, but too often were out of synch and didn’t play up to expectations. However, optimism abounds with a wealth of young talent and
enthusiasm in the program. A fifth straight 20-win season for Matt Messer is a real possibility. After losing several close games, the Forreston boys will be better next year. Lack of experience was a killer for them this past year. On the girls side of the ledger, many opposing schools pointed to Forreston as one of the teams to beat in the NUIC, come next season. A regional title and beyond is entirely possible, but some tenacious seniors will be missed. Not since Cort Lawton, has there been a wrestler as decorated as Ethan Cain. With Cain graduating and coach Justin Zigler leaving, the program will be looking for all the help it can get. Recently, much has made of Forreston’s decision to discontinue the co-op with Polo for baseball and softball. It’s still too early to
conjecture on where that’s headed. Polo has always been a track & field town over baseball. My crystal ball says Polo will scrub baseball and be a track only school. There’s nothing wrong with that and only serves to make track even better. Softball is a different story, as there are plenty of girls with the desire and skill to play. The fact they were taking positions away from Forreston girls speaks to the potential for Polo to field a team. I predict a softball team will be in the future for Polo. If the parents want it and put enough pressure on the school board, it’s hard to say no. The 2016 boys track & field program continued to make a name for itself statewide with some impressive showings. With an abundance of speed and
Andy Colbert
the largest roster of any 1A team in this part of the state, look for the co-op to erase this year’s state medal drought. And finally, the NUIC will slightly have a new look to it with Amboy coming in to replace South Beloit. This is a positive in that Amboy is a better sports community and will add even more prestige to football.

Move romance to the front burner. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Start something new. Express your ideas openly in order to get the help required to make changes at home. Take a close look at how you present yourself professionally. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Jumping from one thing to another will serve you well, but it will bother people around you. Be mindful of the way you affect others. Romance will stabilize certain problems. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your contributions will help you stand out in a crowd. Expect someone to be jealous of your knowledge and expertise. Don’t let someone’s complaints put a damper on your momentum. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Opt to try something new or visit a place you’ve never been
before. Keep your emotions tucked away when dealing with professional matters. Strive for perfection. Love is on the rise. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Listen and learn. Taking part in educational or cultural events will give you greater perspective regarding something you want to pursue. Home and personal improvements will turn out well. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Requests you have to deal with will prove taxing. Don’t lend or borrow money or possessions. Someone who lacks integrity will disappoint you. Don’t lower your expectations to fit in with a certain crowd. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Talk about the way you feel and what you would like to see transpire. Whether dealing with personal or professional matters, an open dialogue followed by action will make you look good.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Speak up, but don’t get into a shouting match. Tend to your responsibilities before someone points out that you are being neglectful. Make special plans with a loved one. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- The help you offer will put you in a precarious position. Don’t let anyone take advantage of your generosity. Play fair, but don’t be a martyr. A creative pursuit looks promising. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Keep your emotional response to a minimum, or you will end up saying something you’ll regret. Put greater emphasis on listening and being objective. Personal improvements will bring the highest reward. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Try something new and learn as you go. Your interest will give you the edge and bring you closer to the person presiding over whatever you are doing. ©2016 UFS
