Forreston resident has questions about garbage Village board discussing a 10year contract By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com A Forreston resident voiced his concern Monday night about the garbage service contract the Forreston Village Board is
negotiating with Moring Disposal. “How is garbage going to work?” said Henry Huenefeld at the village board meeting. “How would it be distributed and billed? Village President Michael Harn said the proposed $15.12 rate for garbage could be added to all residential water and sewer bills. “Each home will be
charged refuse pick-up,” Harn said. Harn said the contract for garbage collection would be for 10 years and each home would have a garbage tote. The village board discussed the garbage contract June 6 and concerns were raised by the board about the contract. The village’s attorney has been working on the contract to iron out any
issues. Harn asked the board to approve a motion to execute a final draft of the contact. “You can see all the numbers in the contract at the next meeting,” said Harn. “The contract will be ready for discussion and approval at the next meeting.” “I still have some concerns,” said trustee Gary Buss. “What about missing or damaged totes.”
Hot temperatures did not scorch the fun for visitors at Polo’s summer festival. With temperatures climbing into the 90s over the weekend festivalgoers found plenty of fun. “I have mixed feelings about the weather,” said Town & Country Days festival president Jon Miller. “It was hot but the attendance was pretty good. We did not have any rain.” To beat the heat visitors enjoyed the concession stands that were selling ice cold lemonades, and Louisiana Snowballs. Stepping into the festival tent also provided a break from the sun. “The evening music was popular, and the temperature was going down at night,” Miller said. “Our new events, the rock climbing and bull riding, brought out a crowd, and I thought they were well attended.” As always, Miller said Kids Day on Friday was a hit. This year started with games and races at the Polo Pool on June 15.
Dozens of kids searched for pennies in the pool and participated in diving board biggest splash, smallest splash, and diving contests. It was the first year the pool held the contests. All the kids at the pool were smiling and laughing while they enjoyed an evening at the pool. The next night were the fireworks. “The fireworks were well attended, and they were our biggest display ever. The streets were packed,” said Miller. “I did not hear one bad thing about the fireworks show.” With the 50th anniversary of the festival, organizers decided to make the fireworks display extra special this year, and it did not disappoint. “When the fireworks ended the whole town was cheering,” said Miller. “This was for the kids. When you see their eyes light up it makes it all worth while.” On Friday, Polo residents had the chance to meet descendants of the city founder. Zenas Aplington’s great-great-grandchildren Linda and Robert were at
Moring said each tote has a serial number that identifies which home it was assigned to. The village sends out 591 bills to residential water and sewer accounts. If approved, each of these accounts would be charged for garbage collection. Harn said the final price and details of the contract will be written up for the board to discuss during the July 5 meeting.
New county jail being planned
Hot summer fun enjoyed in Polo By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com
Larry Moring said the only time a home owner is charged for a replacement tote is for gross neglect. He gave an example of a homeowner that had the tote next to a barbecue grill and the tote melted. If a snowplow were to hit the tote and cause damage that is accidental and would be replaced at no cost to the homeowner. “Are the totes identified for each home?” said Buss.

the Aplington Home with Betty Obendorf offering tours of the home. “Having the historical society open this year gave everyone in town
the chance to rediscover our history and visit the home,” Miller said. The Aplingtons were the parade marshals Sunday afternoon.
The Ogle County Board voted Tuesday to proceed to the next phase in the planning for a new county jail. “What this does is move us to the phase to determine the site location,” said board chairman Kim Gouker, Byron. No location was discussed at the meeting, but two sites that have been discussed are the block on First Street where the public safety complex is located and the county’s property on North Sixth Street across from the judicial center. Both are in Oregon. The board has not yet voted to build a new jail, but is exploring the possibility. Jeff Goodale, Director of Justice at HOK, a Chicago architectural and planning firm, recommended a jail large enough for 180 to 200 beds for adults and 32 beds for juveniles, which would cost an estimated $27 million. HOK was hired last fall to do a jail needs assessment. Goodale gave a presentation with graphs and charts showing the increase in jail population over the last few years and projected an increase in the county’s population.
His charts showed that the average daily population of the jail has grown from 13 in 1972 to 139 last year, a 1000 percent increase. The county’s population has increased 23 percent in the same time period, according to his charts. He said the jail could be built on two acres or less. The 180-200 bed capacity for adults would include88-96 beds for medium security men, 24 for woman, 40 for minimum security prisoners, 24 for maximum security, and 12 for prisoners with acute mental health or medical issues. A jail that size, he said, would meet the county’s needs until at least 2040, when he estimated the county’s population will be at least 60,000. The 2010 census showed the county’s population at more than 53,000. Goodale estimated that the jail would cost approximately $5.8 million annually to operate, including capital costs, staffing, facility management, utilities, inmate costs, health care, and transportation. Board member Lee Meyers, Byron, questioned Goodale’s population estimates. He said the population Turn to A3
Sculptor unveils John Phelps during dedication By Christopher Heimerman cheimerman@sauk valley.com Inspiration is rarely in short supply for artists, and the same goes for Oregon native Steven Carpenter. All he needed was enough time. He grew up in the artsy river city and had always hoped to create one of the 10 sculptures in the Community Art Legacy’s series of pieces, but his stonescaping business in York, Maine, kept him too busy during the summers. When his brother, Craig, a member of the Community Sculptor Steven Carpenter of York, Maine, stands by his sculpture of Oregon founder Art Legacy board, told him John Phelps after the unveiling Saturday on the west side of Oregon Coliseum, the the sculptor of the final effective conclusion of the Community Arts Legacy’s project of 10 sculptures in as piece in the series would be many years.

granted two years for total production, Steven jumped on the opportunity and pitched his concept to the board. Saturday afternoon, his multi-dimensional bronze depiction of Oregon founder John Phelps was unveiled on the west side of the Oregon Coliseum property, the former home of the community pool. The piece depicts Phelps along the Rock River in 1833, after a long journey that brought him to his new home in Oregon. “This was emotional on many, many levels,” Steven, 63, said. “This was my first large commission, for one thing. That makes it very

Lindhorst, a former Oregon public schools teacher who owns Ukulele Station in town, spent 19 years in Hawaii and San Diego before retiring in 2014 and moving back home. “There was so much beauty out there, but I came back here because of the beauty of the people,” he said.

Final Community Art Legacy sculpture dedicated From A1 that politics be put aside for the sake of saving the crumbling Eternal Indian statue at Lowden State Park, then played “The River Runs Through Me” on a ukulele. The Black Hawk statue, as it’s know to many, is a mammoth work that overlooks the Rock River, and it’s one of a few sculptures that triggered a movement that’s brought more than 20 sculptures to Oregon. Crucial to that movement was Richard Adams’ vision for what became the nationally known Field Arts Project in 1998. For years, many artists from throughout the nation spent a week in Oregon to focus on the theme Art and Agriculture – often by mowing fields into images of art best viewed from the air. The Community Art Legacy board presented the idea of the 10-statue series to the Fields Art Project 12 years ago, and Saturday’s
gala marked the culmination. Several sculptors of the previously dedicated pieces were among the 150 or so in attendance. “Well, this is it,” said Jeff Adams, a local sculptor and owner of inBronze Foundry in Mt. Morris, as well as Richard’s son. “This is the last day, isn’t it?” He introduced the sculptors and, after the event, said the beauty of legacy is that it doesn’t end. Further projects, however, likely wouldn’t include him, he said. “We saw the 10 statues through,” he said, “but I don’t have the itch right now.” Craig Carpenter gave an overview of Phelps’ legacy and said when he, Steven, and their brother, Mike, were growing up and playing “a very historically inaccurate version of Cowboys and Indians,” everyone wanted to be Davey Crockett. He went on to point out many parallels between Crockett and Phelps: both of
them hailing from Tennessee, both having fought in the War of 1812, both riverboat men, and both having dabbled in politics among the comparisons. “John Phelps was a dashing figure,” Carpenter said. “If he’d had a better publicist, he could have been a Davey Crockett.” For Steven Carpenter, it was important that the final piece be unique – hence the blend of 2-D and 3-D elements. “I wanted to do something different,” he said. “All the other sculptures around here are beautiful and interesting in their own way, so I thought if I could combine the twodimensional and threedimensional, I could tell more of a story in the background. I’d never done a relief of that size, and there was definitely a learning curve while I was doing it.” It took him about three months to complete the clay mold. He then drove

it carefully in a customized cage in his truck, to Oregon about two years ago. It was cast in several bronze pieces at the foundry, and they were welded together. Adams took the opportunity to reflect on the process of casting a historical icon. “You’re so focused on what’s happening at the moment, that there’s not a lot of room to think about the history,” he said. “It’s
hot. It’s intense. But at this moment, you can reflect on it a little bit.” The shortest speech came from the artist himself. Steven Carpenter got choked up as he expressed thanks to everyone involved. “It’s just such a beautiful area, with so much to offer naturally,” he said. “One of my best memories was my mom packing my lunch for me, I’d take my dog, she’d
scoot me out, and I’d go off for the day, out into the woods. See you in half a day.” His family moved to DeKalb – where he’d eventually meet his wife, Susan – in third grade. But those first several years left an impression. “I was just a youngster, but I got the feel of the whole town. It was an amazing place to grow up as a kid.”

Board members discuss new jail From A1 of the county is aging and has actually decreased in recent years. The number of inmates in the jail decreased in 2014 and 2015, he said. “I’m just a little bit leary to take on a project this big,” he said. Goodale said that figures show the numbers of older and younger residents in the county are increasing while the group in the middle is shrinking. As far as the jail population, Goodale said, “You’re well over capacity right now in your current facility.”
Raffle Winner Kirk Neslund won the raffle at Leaf River Summer Daze and won a guitar. At left is festival committee member Cheryl Newcomer and at right is Denise (Wright) Speracino donated the guitar. Photo supplied
The capacity of the current jail is 109 inmates. Meyers asked if Goodale had considered the recent trend in several states to grant early release to prisoners of non-violent offenses. Goodale said he had, and added that many counties are seeing an increase as some inmates held in state prisons are being sent to county jails closer to their homes. Plans call for the county to pay for the facility, if it is approved by the board, with the host fees it collects from garbage hauling companies for dumping refuse in the landfills in the county.
That brings in an estimated $2-3 million per year. Goodale said bond rates are currently low. He said the county could bring in additional revenue from boarding prisoners from other counties, especially if it opts to add the juvenile beds. Few other counties have facilities to house juvenile inmates. Boarding federal prisoners and those from other jurisdictions currently brings in approximately $1 million annually. A new jail has been on the county board’s to-do list for many years.

Demmer promises help for Black Hawk, agencies By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com State Rep. Tom Demmer (R-Dixon) promised answers Tuesday to Oregon residents who voiced their frustration over state budget issues, especially the halting of the Black Hawk statue restoration. Demmer told the 30 people at the Oregon Chamber of Commerce Lunch ’n’ Learn at the Rock River Center that he has already met with officials from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) about the $350,000 grant promised for repairs to the 105-year-old statue at Lowden State Park. “I’ll turn the pressure up on them. I’ll definitely be a strong advocate for Black Hawk,” he said. Created by sculptor Lorado Taft in 1910, the statue stands on a 125-foot bluff overlooking the Rock River and draws thousands of visitors each year. It was unveiled and dedicated in 1911. The effects of time and weather have caused parts of the statue to crumble and fall off. Demmer said he keeps a photo of the statue on the wall of his Springfield office.
He said the money that would ordinarily go for grants is being spent on roads. “We need to know the future of that statue before it falls apart,” said Mary von Tish. “People donated a lot of money for this [the restoration project].” She asked what has happened to the private donations to repair the statue, referring to the money raised by The Friends of the Black Hawk Statue, an organization formed approximately seven years ago to develop a plan and raise the funds to have the statue repaired. Oregon Mayor Ken Williams said the donated money is being kept in a fund with the Illinois Conservation Foundation, which supports IDNR programs. Williams said the DCEO grant must be spent before the private donations can be tapped. The cost of the project has been estimated at $900,000, and The Friends of the Black Hawk Statue has raised most of that amount. All but the $350,000 grant came from private donations. Demmer said the grant money can’t be released until the General Assembly passes budget legislation. “It’s not happening right now because we don’t have a bill appropriating money for it,” he said.
One bright spot is that projects that have been started will get priority, he said. “The state is trying to offer completion to projects already underway,” Demmer said. Bill Hefty asked Demmer for help in getting to the bottom of the dispute between the conservator and the engineer on the project. “We can get together with the department (IDNR) and find out where the breakdown occurred,” Demmer said. “What we’re asking for is for someone to shepherd this project through,” said Bill von Tish, Chamber Board member. “Someone’s feet need to be held to the fire.” Demmer agreed to help with getting the grant money released and getting the contract issues resolved. “I have faith in the Department of Natural Resources,” he said. The repair project ground to a halt earlier this year because of the state budget woes and a conflict between project engineer Amy Lamb Woods and conservator Andrzej Dajnowski over how the repairs should be made. Hospice, Rock River Center also voice concerns over lack of payments

Black Hawk wasn’t the only concern for the audience at Lunch ’n’ Learn. Lynn Knodle, executive director of Serenity Hospice & Home, Oregon, asked Demmer about Medicaid payments. “We’re not getting Medicaid payments because we’ve been told Illinois is ‘not ready,’” she said. “Will we ever see that money?” Demmer said part of the problem is that the department handling Medicaid has outdated computer equipment. “We have computers dating back to the 1970s,” he said. However, he assured Knodle that the payments will come through. Ann Haas, executive director of Rock River

those payments.” In his opening remarks, Demmer said the state has gone an unprecedented 11 and one-half months without a budget. “That’s never happened before,” he said. “We’ve never gone this long without a budget.” The state legislature failed to agree on a budget for the current fiscal year which ends June 30. The gap between revenues and expenses proposed for 2016-17 is currently $7
Center, had a similar question. “We’re not getting paid. We’ve cut our hours, and I haven’t replaced staff,” she said. “I’d hate to have to close this building.” Some service agencies that rely on state funds are simply closing, she said. Demmer reassured her as well. “The agencies that are remaining open are still open because of smart financial planning,” he said. “We’re going to find a way to make
billion in red ink, he said, and besides that the state has another $7 billion in unpaid bills. “We can’t ask taxpayers for another $7 billion, and we can’t make $7 in cuts to services,” he said. On the plus side, Demmer said, legislators are presently negotiating “something of an emergency budget for maybe six months or so.” “There seems to be willingness on both sides — Republicans and Democrats — to settle this,” he said.

Patterson scored with ease during All-Star Classic By Patrick Mason Sauk Valley Media For Wyatt Patterson to enjoy playing basketball, he said he has to play aggressive. Simply messing around on the court doesn’t move the needle. So Patterson must have enjoyed himself during Thursday’s Sauk Valley Media All-Star Classic. The Polo graduate was a wrecking ball under the basket, and used a smooth touch to score with ease. He finished with a double-double to lead the Telegraph team to a 79-50 win over the Gazette squad in a steamy Sauk Valley Community College gym. “When I’m aggressive, I’m having fun,” Patterson said. “Everyone out there is a talented player, and even in an all-star game, you want to go out and command your position.” Patterson finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds and dished two assists to earn the game’s MVP honor. He will be heading to Sauk this coming school year on
an academic scholarship to major in science, though he hopes to play basketball as well. His performance playing with and against the area’s top seniors validated his love for the game. “I thought I might want to end my career with the guys from Polo,” Patterson said. “But I know now that I could play basketball every day for the rest of my life and be happy. Just seeing what we could do against other top players made this a fun game.” The Telegraph squad had three players in double figures, as Sterling’s Sterling Thornton poured in a gamehigh 13, while AFC’s Jacob Hilliker added 12 to go along with Patterson’s 10. Dixon sharpshooter Riley Mehrens added nine points on three 3s, as the team pulled away after halftime. Each player excelled at their own style of play, and the combination of outside shooting and inside scoring proved to be too much. The game, however, still
had all the markings of a runand-gun all-star game. The Telegraph made 12 3s, while the Gazette poured in seven. Newman’s Noah McCarty, who will play at Northern Illinois, blocked a dunk attempt from Trevor Otten, then threw down an alley-oop from teammate Noah Junis the next trip down the floor. Dixon’s Nate Gascoigne, who usually facilitated for the Dukes, scored five points, four of which came on slick layups through a crowd. Gascoigne also went 1-for-5 in free-throw attempts, which he shot with his opposite hand. His eyes, however, stayed open. “My right hand never works,” Gascoigne said. “Free throws are just something I’ve never been good at. Then Riley [Mehrens] told me to shoot with my left, so I went for it.” Maybe the Gazette squad had no idea, because it didn’t employ a hack-a-Nate. “Thankfully they didn’t use that strategy,” Gascoigne said.
Otten and teammate Vinny Bramm each scored 11 points, and each had hot stretches to keep the score close. Bramm hit three 3s, and finished 4-for-9 from the floor. Otten, playing on his future home court, did most of the damage at the free-throw line. The Oregon graduate took the ball hard to the rim, and went 7-for-7 after being fouled. “You just can’t back down, and can’t be soft in games like this,” Otten said. “Going against these other guys is never easy. Like Noah [McCarty], I love a challenge. I tried to play this game like any other.” So did Oregon’s Jarrett Reynolds, who grabbed 10 rebounds for the Gazette team, then dished a few assists to Hawks teammate Carson Buck, who found his range late to make two 3s. “The mix of guys were cool,” Otten said. “We had four Oregon players, then a bunch of different guys to learn to play with on the fly. Just seeing what everyone could do, and how they played made it interesting.”

Polo Two earned 13-6 victory over Amboy June 7 By Larry Loomis Polo Two hosted Amboy June 7 in Senior Miss play where they took a 13-6 decision. Polo took a 2-0 lead after an inning of play. Izzy Sellers and Becca Wagner had hits in the inning and scored on steals and wild pitches to give Polo the early lead. The game was anyone’s to have until Polo fashioned two big scores in
the bottom of the fourth and sixth innings. In the fourth, the score stood at 4-4 when Polo struck for five runs. Four walks, a hit batsman and singles by Autumn Gilbert and Marah Blake accounted for the runs as Polo took a 9-4 lead after four. Amboy closed to 9-6 heading into the bottom of the sixth when Polo added another four runs. Three
errors and singles by Harper Clark and Nicole Boelens accounted for the four runs as time expired on a Polo 13-6 victory. Polo had five hits for the night with Marah Blake having two of those. Becca Wagner went the distance to pick up the win. In the nightcap, Polo One of the Tiny Miss Division hosted Stockton and came away with an 8-5 win.
Stockton led 5-0 until the bottom of the third inning when Polo struck for three runs to close to 5-3. With two away, Camyrn Cox singled to start the uprising. Lydia Kelly singled to keep the inning going. Riley Wiggins singled to score Cox. Joya Katner then smacked a double to left to score two runs. A single by Leah Calderon scored Katner as
Polo closed to 5-3 after three innings. The score was still 5-3, Stockton heading into the bottom of the fifth when Polo put five runs on the board. With one down, Camryn Cox reached on an error. Lydia Kelly singled as did Riley Wiggins to fill the bases. Joya Katner smacked another double to center to score three runs.
Leah Calderon singled to score Katner. With two down, Mazy Queckborner singled to push Calderon to second. Calderon then scored on a single by Ariel Foster to give Polo five runs and an 8-5 win as time expired. Polo had a dozen hits for the game. Lydia Kelly, Riley Wiggins, Joya Katner, Leah Katner, and Ariel Foster each had two hits.
A new look for Big Northern Conference this fall By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com When the high school sports season cranks up in August, it will be a new look Big Northern Conference. Instead of two 8-team divisions, the BNC will consist of one 11-team league. Gone are RichmondBurton, Johnsburg, Marengo, Harvard, and BurlingtonCentral. Those schools are joining Woodstock and Woodstock North to make up a new conference. They had wanted GenoaKingston to make it an even eight teams, but G-K had second thoughts and came to the realization they had more in common with the BNC schools to the west.
It will be Byron, ‘Bago, Stillman, Lutheran, Rockford Christian, North Boone, Rock Falls, Mendota, Dixon, G-K and Oregon. Starting in 2018, RC will go independent in football, but compete in all other BNC sports. Once that happens, each school in the BNC will play each other once in football, thus eliminating any nonconference scheduling problems that currently plague Oregon. In 2016, Oregon travels to Monmouth-Roseville for a non-conference game. Originally, M-R was to make a trip to Oregon in 2017, but had to back out because of its own conference realignment. To further complicate matters, Oregon originally
had a 2-year agreement with Clinton, Wis., but Clinton had to break the contract, also because of conference re-alignment. M-R came in as a replacement for Clinton, but now Oregon has to find someone to take M-R’s place in 2018. Conference re-alignments have never been as prevalent as they are and the number one reason for it is because of the football playoffs. As far as other sports go, the 11-team league will be a boon to Oregon. Instead of playing each divisional school twice, like they did in basketball, soccer, baseball, softball and volleyball, they only play a team once. That will free up the rest of the schedule for non-conference foes. For example, in basketball, after
tournaments and conference games, Oregon only had one opening left for a game. Now, it will have several and not have to play the BNC heavyweights twice each year. “Our goal is to bring back traditional rivalries with schools like Forreston, Polo and AFC,” Oregon athletic director Mike Lawton said. “Or, in volleyball, we can schedule someone like Keith County Day.” Oregon still has the perfect geographic locale right in the middle of the conference, though some locals have wondered if the Hawks would be better fitted in either the smaller-enrollment NUIC or Three Rivers conferences. “We’re landlocked,” Lawton said. “We’re too far from the Three Rivers and
the NUIC wouldn’t take us. Basically, we’re too big to go someplace small and too small to go someplace bigger.” Besides, the rivalries with ‘Bago, Byron and Stillman are tremendous and only miles away. And, it isn’t just Oregon that is being hit with declining enrollment. Byron and ‘Bago enrollments are almost identical to Oregon and Stillman is about 100 more students. Lawton’s alma mater Dixon is the only school that is about 200 more than the next biggest school (Rock Falls) and 350 more than Oregon. But, it is close to drive to and also makes a natural rivalry. In the fall of 2014, there was a mystery about what the BNC would be. Numerous
ideas and possibilities were tossed out by coaches, including whether or not to allow football and basketball bully Lutheran to stay. “Ultimately, the principals of the conference make the rules and their final decision was to go together as an 11-team league,” Lawton said. “But, there was a lot of thought, discussion and debate on the matter.” During the 2015-16 year, Oregon boys and girls team had a 67-52 record against BNC competition. Their best success was against Mendota, going 15-3. They also had winning records against Dixon, Lutheran, Stillman and ‘Bago. The only teams they lost more than won were Rock Falls (5-9) and Byron (7-10).
“Come on Coach, it was just one shot,” Cobert said with a big smile. It was one of the few shots Cobert didn’t connect at the Sauk Valley Media All-Star Classic basketball game at Sauk Valley Community College on June 16. She dropped in 17 points
and grabbed five rebounds to lead the Gazette squad past the Telegraph 55-40, and earned most valuable player honors in the process. “This was my last all-star game, so technically it’s my last game ever,” said Cobert, who will play volleyball at Illinois-Springfield in the fall. “It was just really fun to
play with some of my own teammates, as well as girls I played against. On the other side, there were some girls that I played against a lot, so to play one more game, it was just icing on the cake.” The Gazette team had a notable size advantage over the Telegraph All-Stars, and steadily pulled a way
after leading just 25-22 at halftime. Cobert had a field day inside, as she hit 5 of 8 shots in the second half, and 8 of 12 overall. Delaney Tegeler was also a force inside with 10 points on 5-for-8 shooting, while Emily Cox added nine points. Jay Borum ran the show with five assists and five steals. “We started making our bunnies, and I thought that was the difference,” Schroeder said. “True to form, as in most all-star games, I think [the Telegraph] got a little bit tired, and their 3s were coming up short in the second half. That was good for our side, because they really shot the ball well that first half.” The Telegraph hung around for a good portion of the game. It seized a 6-0 lead on 3-pointers from Anni Wilson and Tyler Smith, and was still ahead 17-11 on a basket from Darcy Kepner midway through the second quarter. The Gazette scored the first six points of the third quarter to go up 31-22, but a basket from Cassidy Koning and a 3-pointer from Kepner
cut the margin to 31-27 with just under 5 minutes to go in the third quarter. The Gazette responded with an 8-0 run, with six of those points by Cobert, and the Telegraph didn’t get closer than eight points the rest of the way. Complicating matters for the Telegraph was it played with just seven players, two less than the Gazette. Two Eastland players, Bubby Doubler and Raeanna Stover, were unable to play. “The first half was just an awesome effort,” Telegraph coach Chris Jahn said. “I’m really proud of them. I think we ran out of gas there at the end. Their size really got to us. They started pounding it inside, got that 10-point advantage, and we couldn’t reel them back in at that point.” Kepner led the Telegraph with 12 points and three assists, while Wilson and Smith chipped in with nine points apiece. “The other team, they’re a big powerhouse and hard to stop with just us little girls,” Wilson said. “But it was still really fun and a good experience for us. We did our best.”

Joyce M. Cox Joyce M. Cox, 84, Mt. Morris, died on Saturday, June 4, 2016 surrounded by the love and prayers of her family. She was born on Dec. 27, 1931, in Salem Township, Illinois, the daughter of Donald and Bernice (Bashaw) Asay. Joyce grew up in Mt. Carroll and attended local schools in Polo. She graduated from Polo High School with the Class of 1949. It was in the halls of her high school that Joyce met the love of her life, Donald Cox. She only had eyes for Don and a quick two years later, their two hearts became one when they were united in marriage on June 24, 1951, in Polo. Joyce and Don and daughter “Josy” moved back to Illinois, following Don’s honorable discharge from the U.S. Air Force, settling back in Polo for a time. They finally made their home in Mt. Morris in 1960 where they lived out the remainder of their years together. Joyce was an engineering secretary at Quebecor, before moving over to the Traffic Department in her later years. She retired after more than 30 years of dedicated service in 2001. Joyce and Don worked side by side, restoring and selling antiques, eventually opening their own business, Sawtooth Antiques and Collectibles in
Mt. Morris. She was a doting grandmother to 18 grandchildren, who filled her life with laughter and love. Both she and Don loved to travel together, oftentimes setting their sights on Branson, Missouri, and Nashville, Tennessee. Joyce was an accomplished seamstress, was well known for fashionable hats and her fingers created beautiful afghans and baby blankets through her knitting. Following Don’s passing, Joyce wasn’t far behind in their Heavenly reunion a mere nine months later. She loved antiques, especially granite ware, and boasted of a great collection. Raspberry pies and jam were her specialty in the kitchen. Her smile brightened the room and her laugh was contagious. Her home was her castle and nothing was more important or near to her heart, than her family. She and Don are now free to enjoy their Heavenly home and joy unbridled.
She is survived by her six children, Josy (Mark) Blevins; Penny (Scott) Reining; Heidi Lester, Jim (Sherry) Cox, Tim Cox, Kim (Tim) Kasper; 18 grandchildren, Stacy (Scott) Hudson, Jeff Blevins, Steven (Cassidy) Blevins, Meghan (Mike) Peters, Chris (Kathleen) Reining, Marissa (Matt) Martinson, Paige Lester, Andrea Cox, Adam (Emily) Cox, Sean (Josie Marlowe) Cox, Jaime (Caitlyn) Cox, Maggie Cox, Ryan (Libby) Kasper, Becky (Matt) Prebble, Joe Kasper, Jason Lillie, Robert Lillie, and Amanda (Michael) Peterson; 21 greatgrandchilden; one sister, Evelyn Smith; one sisterin-law, Irene Klingle; and several nieces and nephews; as well as a family of friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Don; and one sister, Doris Buisker. A memorial gathering to celebrate both Joyce’s and Don’s lives will be held on Sunday, July 24 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. at the White Pines Inn, rural Mt. Morris. Pastor Sandy Graber, Rochelle, will officiate with private family interment to follow cremation at a later date. A memorial has been established in Joyce’s name to benefit Harbor Light Hospice, 800 Roosevelt Rd. Building C Suite 206, Glen Ellyn, IL 60137 .
