Playground cleaned and repaired by Boy Scouts

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecountynews.com

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecountynews.com Kids will be able to enjoy the train at Memorial Park for years thanks to the work put in by Boy Scout Trevor Drayton to repair the equipment. “The project is going nicely,” said Drayton Monday night as he updated the Forreston Village Board about the repairs. “The kids are doing well and everyone respected the wet paint at the park.” Drayton, a 15-year-old sophomore at Forreston High School, organized the park repairs as his Eagle Scout project. A community service project is a requirement to earn Eagle Scout and Drayton was responsible for managing the entire project. He had his parents, scoutmaster Ray Gruber, and scouts Tanner Clayton and Leo Lund-Bruning assisting with the project. The wooden train was cleaned and sanded before being resealed. Any damaged boards were replaced. Drayton also had the paint stripped off the swing sets and a new coat of paint applied. “The swings were buggy but we got that straightened out,” Drayton said. Troop 52 scout Trevor Drayton sits on the wooden train during a workday for his Eagle Village President Mark Metzger thanked Scout Project. He was organizing the repairs of the playground equipment at Memorial Turn to A3 Park in Forreston. Photo supplied

Courthouse marks 125th anniversary By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com An Ogle County landmark will celebrate its 125th anniversary later this week. The Ogle County Board approved a resolution Tuesday evening commemorating the dedication of the Ogle County Courthouse on Aug. 20, 1891. The stately three-story brick building with its tall cupola is situated in the heart of downtown

Oregon and is the county’s third courthouse. Chicago architect George O. Garnsey designed the structure in Romanesque Revival style. Built at a cost of $107,000 in 1890-91, it is made of red brick and detailed with Naperville and Ashton limestone. Rough cut limestone arches decorate its two entrances on the east and the west, along with Corinthian pilasters. The building was listed on the

National Register of Historic Places in 1981. The first courthouse was completed in 1841 but was never used. The new courthouse was destroyed by arson on March 21, 1841, the night before court was to have convened there for the first time. The Prairie Banditti, band of outlaws who operated in Ogle County and the surrounding area at the time, were blamed for the

The Ogle County Courthouse is under construction in this photo taken in 1891. The building was dedicated 125 years ago on Aug. 20.

fire. That courthouse was replaced in 1948 by a one-story brick structure, which soon proved inadequate for the growing county’s needs. It was demolished to make way for the current structure. The present courthouse has undergone numerous renovations over the years, the most recent in 2010. The courts and related departments moved out of the building in 2005 when the brand new $15 million Ogle County Judicial Center was completed across the street. The courthouse was then renovated for the county’s administrative offices at a cost of $7.5 million. Much of the three-story building was gutted during the demolition process with some of the building’s original elements maintained and restored. Most notable are the windows, some of which were covered over during remodeling in the 1980s. All the windows have been uncovered and replaced. Also preserved are the four walk-in vaults, which provide some of the building’s center support. Original doors were used back wherever possible and the original woodwork was refinished in some areas and replicated where needed. Highlights of the project are the county board room and Memorial Hall conference room on the third floor. The remodeled courthouse was dedicated on Aug. 20, 2010.

The Forreston Village Hall will be closed on Fridays starting in September. The board discussed the new hours during Monday night’s meeting. Hours will now be Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. “Friday would be closed office wise but Alan (Cruthis) and Mike (Boomgarden) will be available,” said Village President Mark Metzger.” The new hours will be posted on the doors to the building. Trustee Gary Buss asked if the new hours could be included on the next water bill to inform the residents. That bill will be sent out in the next week. The board agreed to start the new hours the week of Aug. 29.

County cost for building are higher By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com A building recently purchased by the Ogle County Board is turning out to be more expensive than anticipated. Architect Greg Rewerts of Rewerts Design Group, Rockford, told the board Tuesday evening that his preliminary examination of former Rochelle Clinic shows that renovating it for county offices will cost an estimated $877,000. Previously, county board chairman Kim Gouker had estimated the renovations at just over half that. Rewerts said the “biggest hurdle” and expense will be updating the mechanicals system and bringing into compliance with the Illinois Energy Code. His estimate put that cost at $175,000. The county purchased the clinic building, previously a bank, and its two large parking lots in downtown Rochelle last fall for $180,000 from Rochelle Community Hospital. The county had already been renting the basement for its Emergency Operations Center when hospital officials put the building on the market late last summer. The plan is to locate the Rochelle offices of the Ogle County Health Department and Ogle County Probation Department in the building. Turn to A3

The skies cleared just in time for the Polo Chamber of Commerce’s Car Show on Saturday. Fords, Chevys, and Chryslers from across the years were lined up alongside Nashes and Oldsmobiles on Mason Street in the heart of the downtown. Chamber treasurer Susie Corbitt said the cloudy weather had event organizers a little concerned early in the day.

“It sprinkled off and on and looked threatening until 10,� she said. “I was afraid we would get very few cars.� However, 117 entries were on display for the annual event. “It really went well,� Corbitt said. “This is a nice show,� said Dean Apple, Dixon, as he checked out a 1930 Chevy pick up truck. “They do a nice job.� Just across the street, Dick Curry eagerly awaited visitors’ questions about his model car diorama. “That one there I made out

This is the tenth show I’ve done this summer.� Four-year-old Hayden Roos, Oregon, was all smiles as he looked over Curry’s diorama that included cars, trucks and a gas station. “I have 35 models here today. One car I worked 150 hours on,� Curry said as he leaned over to let Roos open the door on one of them. One of Curry’s car included a 1957 Plymouth, similar to the one he was driving 55 years ago when he first met his wife. “We’ve been married 53 years. She thinks I’m a little crazy when it comes to my cars,� he said smiling. Just to the west, Dick Noll, from Stockton, had his 1953 Ford Crestline Victoria

and emails will remain the same

Ogle County Newspaper Publisher Sam Fisher has announced that the Oregon office will close this month. “Our company has made the difficult decision to close the Oregon office, effective Aug. 24,� Fisher said. “This was not an easy decision, but as time has changed, the reliance on a storefront for Ogle County Newspapers has become less critical to publishing a newspaper. Over the past few years, we have seen traffic into the office decline. Much of that is attributable to email and technology. “The commitment to the communities we cover in the weekly Oregon Republican Reporter, Mt. Morris Times,

Tri-County Press, and Forreston Journal will not change. The company’s focus will be on staff, not storefronts. After all, it’s people who create content,� Fisher said. News coverage for the four publications will remain the same. “You will still see us out and about in each of the communities,� General Manager Earleen Hinton said. “Our email addresses and phone extensions will remain the same, so please do not hesitate to contact us or send us your news items.� The Ogle County Newspapers office will be located in Dixon, at The Telegraph, 113-115 Peoria Ave. The Dixon Telegraph is owned by B.F. Shaw Printing (Shaw Media) and is the parent company of Ogle County Newspapers.

Eagle Scout project at Memorial Park From A1 Drayton for the efforts put in to keep the park looking nice. “This was needed and it looks really nice,” Metzger said. “Thank you,” said trustee Gary Buss. Some graffiti that was carved into other pieces at the park still needed to be addressed. Drayton asked the board if the village would be able to find a solution. New mulch will also be

added to the park. “We talked about getting some mulch,” said Metzger. “We will get that done.” Metzger asked Alan Cruthis, the superintendent of public works, to get some price quotes for different types of mulch. “Ask Trustee Ken Toms about the mulch,” said trustee Marc Stamm. Stamm said Toms spearheaded the efforts to get the mulch for Warnken Park’s playground equipment. “The kids will appreciate the work,” said Metzger.

Compromise reached From A1 The two departments currently rent spaces in Rochelle for almost $50,000 per year. Rewerts said Tuesday that the heating and airconditioning system is noncompliant with state energy codes because it doesn’t bring outside air into the building. The system is also not zoned, needs redesigned ductwork, and is only about 65 percent efficient, he said. Rewerts’ written report to the board said retrofitting the old system would likely be more expensive than installing a new one. Board member Pat Saunders, Polo, said that with the purchase price, the cost of the building will now exceed $1 million, and that doesn’t include a new roof and repaving the parking lots. “Is this going to be a $2 million dollar project?” she said. Gouker said the cost, even with the roof and parking lots, should not exceed $1.5 million. He said the roof should last another two years, and the parking lots can wait another five years.

Before the architect’s inspection, Gouker said, no one realized how complex and expensive it would be to update the mechanicals. Board member Don Griffin, Oregon, who Leo Lund-Bruning powerwashes the wood of the train at Memorial Park in Forreston. Photo supplied heads up the Long Range Committee, which is in charge of the project, made a motion to proceed with spending the $877,000. However, other board members weren’t keen on the idea. Rich Gronewold, Forreston, asked for a second opinion about what is needed to bring the building up to snuff. Bill Welty, Chana, asked why the board would consider approving the $877,000 when Rewerts’ findings are preliminary. Gouker asked Rewerts how much it will cost for his firm to finalize their estimate of the work. Rewerts estimated the cost at $1,500. Gouker then suggested a compromise — that the board approve spending up to $10,000 to cover the costs for Rewerts to finalize his estimate and to have another architectural firm inspect the building. The board approved the Trevor Drayton, left, and Tanner Clayton work on cleaning the wooden train at Memorial Park in Forreston. Photo supplied compromise.

The Shed offers glass painting class As a part of The Shed’s one year anniversary celebration, they are offering a new class: Wine Glass Painting. “We have had a request for this class for a few months,” said Cathy Warren, bereavement coordinatorat The Shed. “We have found

a great teacher with a simple technique. Anyone will be able to come to the class and leave with two gorgeous hand-painted wine glasses.” The technique involves baking the glasses when the painting is complete on a very low level.

This seals the paint and allows users to be able to wash the glasses. “These will make great gifts, and it’s not too early to think of the holidays,” Warren said. The class will be held on Thursday, Aug. 25 at 6 p.m. at The Shed, 131 N. Third

St. in downtown Oregon. Call to register at 815732-2499. The cost, which all benefits Serenity Hospice, is $25 which includes two wine glasses, all the supplies will be furnished and hors d’oeuvres will be served.

Run the Course, a benefit for a Forreston man diagnosed with brain cancer, will be held on Sunday, Aug. 21 at Sunset Golf Club, Mt. Morris. The 5K walk and run will begin at 9 a.m. with registration at 7:30 a.m. The event will include raffles and a bloody Mary bar. The event will assist John

Baker and his family with medical bills and other expenses. Baker grew up in Mt. Morris. He and his wife Angela and their two daughters live in Forreston. He was diagnosed on April 25 with stage 4 gliobastmo, the most aggressive brain cancer. Surgery was scheduled two days later, and doctors

removed a tumor the size of an egg removed from left temporal lobe. This is the area that affects his speech, emotions, and short term memory. A follow-up MRI recently revealed a second mass behind the original. Baker’s doctor has recommended chemotherapy and radiation in the hope of shrinking the mass or

making it go into remission. The treatment is expected to be lengthy, and Baker is unable to return to work. The cost to participate in Run the Course is $25 per person. All proceeds will go directly to Baker. For more information call Joe Ghibellini at 815-6776842 or email ghibby23@ yahoo.com.

Becca’s Closet, a ministry of Rockford Area Lutheran Ministries, is giving away prom dresses to all area students. The Rockford chapter serves as a boutique that collects and distributes formalwear to hundreds of young women of Rockford and the surrounding communities. More than 500 dresses are given away annually in Rockford area. Becca’s Closet is located inside Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, 1829 N. Rockton Ave., directly across from West Middle School. Rockford Area Lutheran Ministries, a partnership organization of 23 area ELCA congregations, including the Good Shepherd congregation, has accepted responsibility for oversight and continued operations of the chapter. Becca’s Closet will open Saturday, Sept. 3 for the homecoming season.

Donated dresses and accessories are always accepted; plus-size gowns and short dresses are especially appreciated. Becca’s Closet was created by Rebecca Kirtman, a 16-year-old Florida high school sophomore. She recognized that there were many girls in her community who were unable to attend their high school prom and homecoming dances because they could not afford to purchase appropriate attire for the events. She launched a drive to provide formalwear and accessories free of charge because of her understanding of this inequity. Kirtman was tragically killed in an automobile accident shortly after starting her “closet.” Her friends and family continued the mission by forming a national “Becca’s Closet” program, with 90 chapters to date, including the one in Rockford.

The 10th annual Farm Heritage Festival of East Jordan Church, 22027 Polo Rd., Sterling, will be held on Saturday, Aug. 27. Admission and parking are free. The day will start with a good old-fashioned farm breakfast consisting of scrambled eggs, pancakes, and biscuits and gravy from 7 to 9 a.m. Tickets are available from church members and at the door for a $ 6 donation. The active farm machine demonstrations will begin around 9:30 a.m. and continue until 3:30 p.m. Static displays will be held all day. This year’s active displays will feature a threshing machine, a stationary baler, wagon lifts and elevators, an ensilage cutter, a corn husker and shredder and tractor operations. A blacksmith will

demonstrate some tool making and craft. An activity center will be available for kids, youth, and adults to try their hand at powering hand-cranked items such as a cornsheller or a rope maker. A bouncy house for children has been added this year. A farm animal zoo will again feature dairy cows, sheep, goats, and more. A lunch stand will run inside the air-conditioned church from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. featuring sandwiches, baked beans, salads, chips, and desserts. Proceeds from the lunch benefit the East Jordan Habitat for Humanity Mission Crew. Anyone with antique farm equipment is invited to display and run at the show. Call Steve Venhuizen at 815946-2513 for information.

Farm Heritage Fest will be held Aug. 27

Guest Column Work continues to beautify our community By Rick Ryland Hands On Oregon O beautiful for spacious skies! Have you noticed how “The Beautiful� is coming to Oregon again? Our city, by grants, government, and many of her dedicated citizens, is seeing a welcoming difference: new street lights, fresh blooming flowers in large planters with colorful painted bikes, new signs about to be put up, and so much more to come. Our city is alive again! Thank you Oregon Together, for your commitment to meet, discuss, organize, formulate, and work hard. Last fall, Mayor Ken Williams told me that if

the south wall of Conover Square wasn’t addressed then the city would have to close it. The faltering south wall became Hands On Oregon’s first project. The few volunteers, faithfully working, have removed the battered stucco, cleaned up the debris, and reinforced the wall where needed. Hands On Oregon has finished 10 sections of that wall – roughly 2,520 square feet.  We have another 26 sections to complete.  When all sections have been addressed, 2x4 spacers will be added, then metal siding, creating a solar air gap that will be used to heat the building on cold sunny days of winter – the equivalent of eight furnaces generating 150,000 BTUs. That’s energy efficiency! Then “The Beautiful� American flag is going up

on the eastern third of the 10,000 square foot wall for all our visitors coming across our river to see. A big heart with the name “Oregon� will be at the western end. Underneath that will be the names of donors who contributed to The Wall. Over 800 volunteer hours have been donated to get the wall to this point. Nearly $20,000 has been contributed. And Hands On Oregon thanks you! But we need additional help: We’re saving a landmark and an important part of our cityscape: one section at a time. Will some of our contractors, please consider us and step forward? How can you help?  By either donating your expertise or by submitting a bid to help finish the higher floors. Your bid difference is tax deductible. With your help we can

Rick Ryland and Lee Hadick repair a section of the south wall at Conover Square. Photo supplied

get this project finished! Any volunteer to work is welcome, too. All, please come and see! Then, if so moved, make a

tax deductible donation to Blackhawk Hills Regional Council and in the memo spot write: Hands On Oregon. Â

Public Voice HOO volunteer speaks about Oregon

Editor’s note: Lee Hadick has been volunteering to repair the wall on the south of Conover Square, which is owned by Lou VanderWyst. Dear Editor, It is with dismay to hear that people are thinking our work on the “wall� is for Lou.  Lou is a great guy, I enjoy his company and appreciate what he has done for the community by maintaining Conover Square and all the small businesses he has incubated and supported.   But let me make this perfectly clear to all that will listen, I have donated money and physically labored on that wall not for Lou but for my pride in Oregon and as an American. As I’m driving into Oregon from the east on Ill. 64, first we see the gentle incline and before you know it we are weaving through the tree lined highway only to finally see the spire of the old court house.  That’s my home I tell myself and any that will listen. And now with Hands on Oregon and their desire to work with the community, I will find myself on that same route crossing the Rock River

and as I look to my right I will see the largest American flag west of Chicago proudly displayed on the side of Conover Square. The flag is the ultimate icon of American history and will be seen as a symbol of community pride while honoring those that fought to protect it.  That is why I work on the wall. Be assured that I will continue to volunteer my services for our worthy project and pledge another $200 to show my sincerity not to the wall but to the flag that will ultimately be there. Lee Hadick Oregon

Host families are needed

Dear Editor, In this time of ongoing turmoil, student exchange is good medicine for a world torn by terror. We want to invite the families of Oregon to help us combat international fears and prejudices by welcoming a foreign teen into their homes and hearts. In recent weeks, all eyes have turned to Rio and the Olympic games. But as we cheer on Phelps, Biles, and Ledecky, many of us quietly hold our breath: rumors of a potential terrorist threat are woven through the press and shared on social media. The result? Fear. “International,� a word once celebrated as exciting and elite, now feels scary and oppressive.  And yet – we have a choice. If we want to break down prejudices and build understanding (even in the face of terror), relationship is the most likely antidote. Real relationships with other

human beings. This is where student exchange comes in. Welcoming an international student is a simple, tangible way to teach our children that different is not dangerous. When students engage with a classmate from Germany or Thailand, they begin to see the world differently. They become more likely to judge the country based on their friendship (and not the other way around).  In short: exchange students provide a much-needed way to let “global� be good again. We are looking forward to bringing exchange students to Oregon High School, but we are still looking for host families to welcome these students. We can’t do it without community support – so let’s link arms and be part of the solution. We urge your readers to help us bring all students “home.� We are seeking host homes for 60 students from Germany, Thailand, Switzerland, Spain, Austria, and Italy. All students must have a host home by Aug. 31. Readers can consider helping by hosting as a short-term or long-term host family. To learn more, readers may contact International Experience directly at 888-266-2921 and we will connect you with the Local Coordinator in your area, or

Soaring Eagles visit dairy farm By Lydia Sherburne Club Co-reporter Leaf River Soaring Eagles 4-H group To celebrate dairy month, the Leaf River Soaring Eagles 4-H group visited JoEng Dairy Farm in German Valley on May 21. The Jo-Eng Dairy Farm is a large family-owned dairy farm. When we visited they had 1,100 cows and calves. It was amazing to see

all the animals and how they were all grouped off separately. We were able to see how their farm works from the bottle-fed calves to the milking of the cows. We were able to put on the milking device, which was a fun experience. It was a fun

and educational tour. Being part of 4-H is a great experience. We get to go on lots of tours of businesses in the area. If you are interested in 4-H, call the Ogle County Extension Office at 815732-2191. The Leaf River Soaring

Eagles meet the second Monday of each month at the River Valley Complex in Leaf River at 6:30. Come check us out. Members of the Leaf River Soaring Eagles 4-H Club visited the Jo-Eng Farm in May.

Ganymedes team traveled to Dearborn, Michigan The Oregon Ganymedes Vintage Base Ball Club participated in the World Tournament of Historic Base Ball at the Henry Ford Museum/Greenfield Village Aug 13-14 in Dearborn, Michigan. The Ganymedes defeated

teams from Detroit, Michigan and Brooklyn, New York and advanced all the way to the tournament’s championship semifinals where they lost to the Greenfield Village Lah De Dahs Club of Dearborn, Michigan.

The Lah De Dahs then defeated the Bay City Independents of Bay City, Michigan to win the 2016 trophy. This final 1867 rules championship game was streamed live on ESPN 3.

Tournament season in Polo By Larry Loomis In the battle for third place, Polo Two hosted Polo One and before the game was over Polo Two would emerge with a narrow 11-10 win. Polo One got on the board first when Kayla Blum walked to open the second. She immediately stole second, went to third on a passed ball and consequently scored on a wild pitch to see Polo One take a 1-0 lead. That lead lasted just long enough for Polo Two to come to bat. Becca Wagner led off the bottom of the inning with a single. Wagner went to second on a walk to Izzy Sellers and came home on an error to tie the game at one. In the top of the third, Polo One put a four spot on the board. Addison Grobe walked to open the inning. Kaitlyn Marschang singled to send Grobe to third. Emma McCawley singled to score Grobe. Amber Henson then drew a walk to fill the bases. Following a strikeout, Jasimine Badon smacked a long single to left center to score a run with Marschang being gunned down at the plate. Cynthia Calderon then came to the plate and drilled a shot to right field to score a pair of runs as Polo One took a 5-1 lead. In the top of the fourth, with the score still 5-1, Polo One struck again with three more runs. Maddi Jones led off with a walk. Allissa Wakenight walked as well. Then, with two away, Kaitlyn Marschang smashed a double to score Jones and Wakenight. With runners on second and third, a host of passed balls and wild pitches saw Marschang score to give Polo One an 8-1 lead over a Polo Two squad that appeared gassed at the midpoint of the ball game. However, Polo Two exploded in the bottom of the fourth with seven runs leaving Polo One stunned to say the least. Becca Wagner led off the inning with a single and immediately stole second. Izzy Sellers single to score Wagner. With one down, Kaylee Lowry smacked a hit to score Sellers. Then with two away, Kaitlyn Marschang, pitching for Polo One made a mental mistake when she threw to home to get a runner she that was coming in to score but the catcher dropped the ball as a run scored as Abby Gorzny raced to first. Had Marschang merely thrown to first, Polo One would have been out of the inning. Now the door was open for Polo Two and they immediately took advantage. Alex Dusing making just her second game appearance after suffering an injury early in the season came to the dish. Dusing smacked a shot into right field to score a run. Adrianna Wiggins then reached second on a two base throwing error as two more runs scored. Harper Clark then singled to right to score a run and wound up at second on the throw into the infield. Mallory Patterson added the finishing touches as she hit a single to score Clark with the seventh run of the inning to tie the ball game at eight after four innings. Polo One had suddenly seen their big lead vanish into the night. They mounted a brief rally against reliever Nicole Boelens in the top of the fifth.

Amber Henson led off with a single to right. K.T. Trobaugh, an up and coming ball player hammered a double to left center to score Henson. Jasmine Badon, another rising star drilled a double to almost the same area of the field to score Trobaugh to give Polo One back the lead at 10-8. An infield out and a strikeout ended the inning. Once again Polo Two found themselves on the short end of the score by a margin of two and once again they rallied. Becca Wagner drilled a single to right and stole second. Izzy Sellers then singled to score the fleet footed Wagner. Marah Blake who has come live in recent weeks offensively kept the hit parade going with a double to left to score Sellers. Then, with one away, Nicole Boelens helped out her own cause with a single to score Blake with what would prove to be Polo Two’s final run of the game as they took an 11-10 lead. Polo One went down in order in the top of the sixth. Then, the time limit rule interceded ending the game under the one hour and fortyfive minute rule allowing Polo Two to take a thrilling 11-10 victory over a very tough Polo One squad. For the night, Polo One had

six hits to fourteen for Polo Two. Jasmine Badon had two of those hit for Polo One. Mallory Patterson and Becca Wagner each had three hits to pace the Polo Two offense. Nicole Boelens picked up the win in relief while Kaitlyn Marschang went the distance to absorb the loss.

Final games of summer are played By Larry Loomis Polo Two of the Carroll County League Tiny Miss Division copped first place honors in the recently concluded League Tournament in Thomson. July 14, Polo took on the number one seeded Chadwick and defeated them by a score of 13-8. Polo played a great game defensively in this one as witnessed by the last play of the game. Camyrn Jones caught a pop up and rifled the ball to first to get the runner that was off the base for a double play to end the contest and send Polo into the championship game. For the game, Polo collected a total of 21 hits with three players, Avalyn Henry, Camyron Jones and

Alayna Young each getting three hits, while Leah Tobin smacked four to pace her squad. Polo Two faced Thomson in the championship game played at Thomson on July 15. Polo started out slowly and was quickly down by three runs but would later rally to win by a score of 8-4. Again Polo’s defense was the key to victory. Outstanding defensive plays by Avalyn Henry, Alayna Young, Grace Maitke and Camyrn Jones highlighted Polo’s efforts in fashioning the win. Isabella Witkowski did a yeoman’s job at catcher by stopping balls from getting away that might have otherwise resulted in Thomson scoring.

Offensively, Polo managed eleven hits with Camyrn Jones leading the way with three singles. Cali Zies and Alayna Young each added a pair of runs. Thus the curtain came down on the 2016 Girls’ Softball season. Mike Jones’ Polo One Two the Tiny Miss tournament, Kevin Allen’s team won the Junior Division League and Tournament while Jeff Frey’s ladies took fourth in the Tournament and League while Derron Seller’s Polo Two took third in the Senior Division Tournament and first in the Division and

Mud Fun!!

Mud lovers were in their glory Sunday during The Rock River Riders Motorcycle Club’s annual Mud Bogs. A large strip of mud was created on the club’s property just east of where the popular Hill Climbs are held. Trucks, cars and everything in between took turns trying to navigate the stretch of mud in the fastest time possible. Kids and adults too even got the chance to run the bog on foot from north to south. The fall Mud Bogs is one of several events held by the club at its grounds located on Pines Road between Oregon and Mt. Morris, across from the entrance to the White Pines State Park. Other events include dirt drags and hill climbs. Visit Above, chunks of mud fly into the air as Body Miller, from Lincoln, races in the Rock River Riders’ Mud Bogs on Sunday.

Polo volleyball coach is optimistic about season By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com

Polo opens the year with a match against Fulton Unity on Aug. 25.

What did Patrick Anderson learn after his first year at Polo volleyball coach, a season in which the team struggled to win three matches? “I learned from the girls and they learned what to expect form me,” Anderson said. “We grew together last year. This year, I see drastic improvements.” Anderson is optimistic that his charges can finish in the middle of the conference, or even higher. “If our defense can match our offense, we can be really good,” said Anderson, who came from

Elk Grove to take a teaching position in Polo. He previous coaching experience was at Ohio, where he led the junior high program to successful seasons. The vocal leader of this year’s team is senior Kenzie Dusing, who was a setter in 2015. “She’s a communicator,” Anderson said. “She know where people should be and is not afraid to let them know. She’s a fierce competitior.” Another senior Anderson is counting on is Justine Gorzny. “She’ll play the middle and

outside,” Anderson said. “She had a good summer for us. I’m excited to see what she can do with her offensive skills.” The backcourt specialist is senior Tess Kurschner. “She’s a girl that’s going to find the pass for us,” Anderson said. “She able to get to the ball and pop is up.” Rilley Peterson was called up to the varsity last season as a sophomore. Anderson likes here tenacity. “She plays with fire in her eyes,” he said. “I think she can do special things for us on defense

and with her hitting.” Sophomore Cassie Bushman will make the step up to varsity. “She played club ball in the off season and it took her game to a different level. She gives us more options in the front,” Anderson said. Anderson sees so much more cohesiveness this year. “We’re coming together a lot more as a group,” Anderson said. “We still need to communicate on defense and talk to each other more.” All together, there are 24 girls in the program.

Talent will be tweaked for the 2016 Lady Cardinals By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com After going 152-12 in her last four years at Dakota, Shannon Williams lost more games than that in her first year as Forreston volleyball coach. Last year, the Cardinals went 13-19-1, finishing in the middle of the pack of the NUIC. “I knew it wasn’t going to be easy,” Williams said. “I think the raw talent is here, but it needs to be tweaked.” That tweaking will be done through understanding the concepts of volleyball and pushing the team to a higher Forreston’s Kate Metzger blocks a Polo shot level. last year. Photo by Chris Johnson “I’m trying to get them to

understand what I am trying to teach, which is maybe different than what they are used to,” Williams said. “I need to push them.” One concern for Williams is lack of self-confidence the team has. “That’s the biggest thing we’re working towards – confidence and self reliance,” Williams said. “I want them not to be afraid to take risks, but take good risks.” Williams has a strong core of returners to work with. Senior Keileigh Kloepping, one of the hardest workers and a team leader, will be the strength on the outside. Joining here on the outside will be top sophomore prospect

will provide for a dynamic offense.” Williams sees potential weaknesses as communication and making game decisions. “We need to learn the game better,” Williams said. Forreston should compete for the top half of the conference this season, with Dakota being the favorite. “This summer, we purposely didn’t schedule against teams from our conference, so I don’t know what everyone has; but Durand should be fairly tough and even after losing a couple key players, Aquin should be good,” Williams said. “We have a good group at Forreston that are working hard.”

Top two scorers returning for the Marcos golf team By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Bryan Elder has been one of the top golfers ever to come through the program at Forreston and there is only one item missing from his resume. That is a trip downstate for the 4-year varsity member. “Hopefully, he can take that next step to state,” Forreston coach Matt Hanley said. “Bryan’s a great kid and has a tremendous skill set.” As a senior, this is his last chance and if past results are any indication, he is right on the cusp of that. At the regional, he carded a 79 to advance to the sectional for the second straight year. “He’s solid off the tee and gets good distance on his drives,” Hanley said. “What has helped his game is an improvement in his short game, limiting the putts.” Joining Elder on the

Katie Erdman. “We’re trying to get her power under control,” Williams said. Senior Peyton Sorn will play either outside or middle and put a lot of time in the off season, according to Williams. Kate Metzger, another senior leader, returns to the right side. “She’s a very positive kid,” Williams said. Junior Tylor Behrends returns after playing libero on varsity last year. “She’s solid all around,” Williams said. Behrends is an example of the versatility Forreston enjoys this year, with many interchangeable players. “That’s are strength,” Williams said. “That versatility

varsity will be Christian Groenewold, Jacob Southerland and Andrew Bratina. All saw varsity time last year. At No. 5 and 6 are senior Ross Behrends and junior Eli Metz. Besides those two, Mark DeWall, Avery Schnierla and Mavric Rudy will be vying for varsity spots. “Our goal is to be competitive in all our matches,” Hanley said. “We know Bryan will be consistent. The question for us is finding those three

other scores.” Last year, Forreston lost Mitchell Bratina, Nolan Elder and Josiah Snider to graduation. Hanley is hopeful to be able to finish in the middle of the conference again. “I hope to get there or higher,” he said. “Milledgeville and Aquin will be two teams to beat.” On the girls side, sophomore Sam Greenfield will be golfing. “She advanced to the sectional and we hope to build off that,” Hanley said.

With its top two scorers returning from Polo’s secondplace regional team, another good season could be in store for the Marcos. Senior Chris Radamacher and Mack Llanas carded and 83 and 84 at the Galena 1A regional to help Polo to a 349 strokes, only six points behind perennial league power Stockton. “Stockton should be the team to beat in the conference again,” Polo coach Don Reece said. “East Dubuque has some solid returners also. We should be about where we were last year – towards the top.” The key will be Radamacher and Llanas shooting in the upper 30s for 9-hole meets. “They will be fighting for medalist and runner up quite a bit,” Reece said. Junior Trevin Woodin comes back after being a member of the varsity last year. He is slotted in as No. 3 and is expected to produce low 40s for the team.

Sophomore Lane Hopkins will be No. 4 and his goal is to play bogey golf. “We’ll also use a another sophomore, Hayden Bittinger,” Reece said. “We were hurt by five golfers not coming back out, for a variety of reasons.” There are a total of 11

golfers in the program. “With numbers that low, our guys will have to shoot what they can,” Reece said. Polo has one girl out. Junior Megan Call is in her third year in the program. “She’s gotten a lot better from her freshman year,” Reece said.

course that is beating the odds. Play has been constant and they are blessed with a dedicated core of members. “It also helps that we’ve kept our prices low. We would rather have 20 people play for $20 instead of only five for $30,” said long-time employee Cheryl Satterfield. “We have strong member support, the course is kept in good shape and we have playdays.” The community spirit needed to keep a public course open may also be an offshoot of Mt. Morris’s character as a whole. In my opinion, the gem of all area courses is Silver Ridge because of how nature is incorporated into it. I remember playing when it was Indian Ridge nearly 40 years ago and eventually getting a membership. However, I am part of the problem of golfers gone missing, having not picked up a club for about 20 years. “Its no secret golf has struggled. Play is probably

down 25 percent from 10 years ago,” said Shane Stuart, golf pro for Silver Ridge. Recently bought by Justin Gatz of Sterling, Silver Ridge has been brought back up to good conditions according to the regulars. The cash cow used to be a ton of playdays, not only on weekends, but on weekdays too. When golf was at a peak, you had members and playdays fighting for course time. “We still fill up Saturdays,” Stuart said. “But, instead of 150 golfers, we might have 90 and we don’t get weekday playdays much. The economy and how businesses operate has changed.” At the height of the golfing boom, there was consideration for the Oregon Park District to put a 9-hole course up at the site where Century Hills subdivision is. To me, it seemed like a wonderful idea. Fortunately, that concept never got off the drawing board.

Sports Column Demise of golf is a passing rumor By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Though I don’t golf anymore, I thoroughly enjoy watching it, be it high school, college or the professional ranks. This past weekend, it was the John Deere Classic in the Quad cities for me. I’m glad to say that the demise of golf, that many predicted a few years ago, is only a passing rumor. The PGA tour is as strong as ever, even without Tiger Woods. When Woods burst onto the scene in the late 1990s and continued his ascent in the next decade, it was incorrectly stated that he was responsible for the growth of the game. Golf was experiencing tremendous growth going back into the 1980s and early 90s. What happened was

that golf went from being a country club sport to one for the masses. Public courses saw an increase in play as baby boomers and their children began to play more and more. As a result, public, rather than private, courses began to spring up. Instead of being a domain of primarily large high schools, golf teams were started by smaller high schools. It was well before Woods came on board that golf reached the mainstream and began its rise in popularity. Woods did help increase TV ratings, much the same way Michael Jordan did it for basketball. People that may have not watched golf before did so because of the superstar phenomenon. But in terms of golf popularity, there is a difference between TV viewing and rounds being played. And, so much golf was being played that it seemed logical to build even

more courses. After all, golf courses are an attractive piece of property and promote a sense of well being for a community. However, the logic employed in building more courses is the same in buying more stocks when the market is going up. Eventually, the bottom will drop out. That’s what a happened, plus interest in playing golf began to wane – a double whammy that put both private and public courses in jeopardy. In response to so-called market conditions, golf courses began to close or those that kept their doors open, saw a reduction in play. The former Oregon Country Club sits idle, going from a picturesque eastern gateway to the town to a vacant field. The Rochelle Country Club could no longer make a go of it and is being run at a deficit as the Fairways public golf course, as the city and park district subsidize it with

tax dollars, so as to maintain a valuable green space. Bill and Bev Burkardt have owned Edgewood, in rural Polo, since buying it in 2008. Like other area courses, it has taken a severe financial hit. “They’ve lost $50,000 every year since then,” said their daughter Penny, who works at the club. “They want to keep it open for people that want to play and for the golf team.” After awhile, that altruism gives way to reality and the course is up for sale. “When my parents bought it, they wanted to keep it from being turned into farmland,” Penny said. “Now, whoever buys it can do whatever they want with it.” Prarie Ridge in Morrison, open since 1911, is now closed. Over 50 years old, Oakville in Mt. Carroll also shut its doors. There are similar concerns for Shady Oaks in Amboy and numerous other area courses. Sunset in Mt. Morris is a shining example of a public

Eagle’s Nest Gifts has renewed focus Short speeches by local dignitaries and a performance by a Native American dance troupe were all part of the re-grand opening of the Eagle’s Nest Gifts & Gallery, located in Oregon. Eagles Nest Gifts & Gallery was founded by Beth and Dennis Henderson in Oregon Illinois in 1994 as a “destination store” that highlighted Native American crafts and culture. Beth Henderson, who also operates the White Pines Inn, said through the years the store’s theme evolved to include western, southwestern, and even a line of handmade aspen furniture from Colorado. Henderson said with the renewed focus in the community and the State of Illinois in restoring The Eternal Indian Sculpture (more commonly known as the “Black Hawk Statue”), she and her husband were inspired to restore the store back to its original roots relaunched with a mission “to honor and share Native American crafts and culture.” “Throughout my life I have held strong affections

for the natural beauty of the Rock River Valley area, as well as our iconic Black Hawk Statue. Now that the Eternal Indian is poised to be restored to its rightful dignity, my husband and I believe it is time for our store to return to its Native American roots,” she said. Friday’s event included a reception, speeches by Oregon Mayor

Ken Williams, State Representative Tom Demmer, and Dorene Wiese, of the American Indian Association of Illinois. The event included a ribbon cutting by the Oregon Chamber of Commerce and Native American signing and dancing as well as a blessing. Eagles Nest, is open Thursday through Sunday

from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and now includes a café overlooking the Rock River. A separate space, called The Gallery will also host a variety of Native American art, artifacts and guest artisans as well as relevant lectures. The strode is located on the west bank of the Rock River, just south of the Ill. 64 bridge.

FORRESTON, IL 61030 PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that pursuant to a Judgment of the above Court entered in the above entitled cause on April 15, 2016, the following described real estate, to-wit: LOTS FIVE (5) AND SIX (6) IN BLOCK TWENTY (20) IN THE ORIGINAL TOWN OF FORRESTON, IN OGLE COUNTY, ILLINOIS, ACCORDING TO THE RECORDED PLAT ACKNOWLEDGED BY GEORGE W. HEWITT, SITUATED IN THE COUNTY OF OGLE AND THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.

Sale terms: 25% down of the highest bid by certified funds at the close of the sale payable to The Sheriff of Ogle County. No third party checks will be accepted. The balance, including the Judicial sale fee for Abandoned Residential Property Municipality Relief Fund, which is calculated on residential real estate at the rate of $1 for each $1,000 or fraction thereof of the amount paid by the purchaser not to exceed $300, in certified funds/or wire transfer, is due within twenty-four (24) hours. No fee shall be paid by the mortgagee acquiring the residential real estate pursuant to its credit bid at the sale or by any mortgagee, judgment creditor, or other lienor acquiring the residential real estate whose rights in and to the mortgaged real estate arose prior to the sale. The subject property is subject to general real estate taxes, special assessments or special taxes levied against said real estate, and is offered for sale without any representation as to quality or quantity of title and without recourse to the Plaintiff and in "AS IS" condition. The Sale is further subject to confirmation by the Court. Upon payment in full of the amount bid, the purchaser shall receive a Certificate of Sale, which will entitle the purchaser to a Deed to the real estate after confirmation of the sale. The property will NOT be open for inspection. Prospective bidders are admonished to check the Court file to verify all information.

The purchaser of a condominium unit at a judicial foreclosure sale, other than a mortgagee, who takes possession of a condominium unit pursuant to a court order or a purchaser who acquires title from a mortgagee shall have the duty to pay the proportionate share, if any, of the common expenses for the unit which would have become due in the absence of any assessment acceleration during the 6 months immediately preceding institution of an action to enforce the collection of assessments, and which remain unpaid by the owner during whose possession the assessments accrued. If the outstanding assessments are paid at any time during any action to enforce the collection of assessments, the purchaser shall have no obligation to pay any assessments which accrued before he or she acquired title. If this property is a condominium unit which is part of a common interest community, the purchaser of the unit at the foreclosure sale other than a mortgagee shall pay the assessments required by the Condominium Property Act, 765 ILCS 605/18.5 (g-1). If the sale is not confirmed for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the purchase price paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee's attorney.
