Forreston board considers 17 acre annexation By Zach Arbogast zarbogast@oglecounty news.com The Forreston village board will decide Oct. 17 whether to annex 17 acres of farmland. A public hearing will be held at the meeting prior to the decision, where the board will field any questions and

concerns the community has about the proposed agreement with property owner Dave Vietmeier. With Dollar General coming to Forreston, plans already were in motion to sell about two acres to the business. Dollar General needs only a small area, though, so the annexation would provide

an opportunity for business expansion. “Dollar General only needs around one or two acres,” Village President Mark Metzger said at the Oct. 4 meeting, adding that a successful expansion beginning with Dollar General could mean a grocery store, outlet store, or other businesses coming in

to Forreston. The agreement gives Vietmeier up to a year to change his mind, although “in reality, I don’t see him going through with backing out,” Metzger said. “He’ll be right in the community seeing the results of investing in expansion for businesses.” The property is on the west side of Baileyville Road at

Ill. 72, north of the village limits. In other business the board approved liquor licenses for the new Casey’s General Store, and a video game license application for Mimmo’s Pizza. Eileen and Keith Anderson sold The Depot, 314 E. Main St., to Caseys this summer. The ownership was being

transferred this month. Metzger also said paperwork for the sewer expansion project was submitted, and the board is just waiting on approval to begin the bidding and contracting process. The board next meets on Monday, Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. at the village hall. The meeting is open to the public.

Donation made for defibrillator Forreston, Leaf River Lions donated funds By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com

A $1,000 donation will allow the Forreston Sports Boosters to purchase a lifesaving device they hope will never be used. Joel Ludwig, a member of the Forreston Lions Club, presented booster vice president Bob Chamberlin, with two $500 checks for the purchase of an automated external defibrillator. “The Forreston Lions Club and the Leaf River Lions Club are donating $500 each to purchase a defibrillator,” said Ludwig. Having the device could save a life in the event of an emergency, either for an athlete or a spectator. “We do not want to use the defibrillator, but having it is important for athletic events,” said Chamberlin. “Being an automated unit means everyone can use it.” Chamberlin said that some basic training with the device will be offered to coaches

“Every minute counts in emergency.” Ludwig was happy make the donation, but hopes the money ends being wasted.

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com An Ogle County Board member says the body could do with fewer members and has asked for a committee to study the issue. Bruce McKinney, Rochelle, told the County Board at its September meeting that he would like to see the board reduced from 24 members to 16. He asked Board Chairman Kim Gouker, Byron, to appoint a committee to study the issue now, well ahead of the 2020 census, after which that change could be made. “We’re too large for our size of county,” McKinney, who is also the Rochelle city clerk, said Oct. 7. “There are other counties larger than us that have 10 or 12 members.” Gouker said last week that while he is willing to bring the question before the board’s Executive Committee for discussion, he believes it’s too soon to form a committee. “It’s a little premature,” he said. “It wouldn’t happen until 2022.” McKinney told the board he believes discussions need to begin as soon as possible. He said last week that the change would save the county about $50,000 over a 10-year period. Board members are paid $150 per month for attending three meetings, and another $50 per meeting after that. They are also reimbursed for mileage. The board chairman is paid an additional $250 per month. Besides the monthly meetings, board members serve on numerous committees which also meet monthly. Changing the size and configuration of the board can be done only after a census, and any changes take effect at the first election after the census. With the next census in 2020, the changes, if any are made, would happen at the 2022 election. Redistricting, also known as reapportionment, is dictated in the U.S. Constitution, which calls for a census every 10 years to determine the population.

“We’re too large for our size of county. There are other counties larger than us that have 10 or 12 members. — Bruce McKinney Rochelle The results of the census are then used to determine how many legislators can be elected to represent the residents in the local, state, and national government. The process is aimed at ensuring all citizens are equally represented. Ogle County is divided into eight districts, each varying from 6,300 to 7,000 residents. Each district is represented by three elected County Board members. Elections are held every 2 years in November, with members elected to 2-year or 4-year terms. McKinney said he believes citizens could be well represented by two board members from each district rather than three. “Right now, we have eight districts, and with 16 we would have two per district, which I think is plenty to properly represent the constituency,” he said. In fact, McKinney said, 16 may be too many. “It may be good to reduce it further in another 10 years,” he said. “I don’t think we want to be too drastic all at once.” The 2010 census puts Ogle County’s population at 51,659 – 2,152 citizens for every board member. That puts the county right in the middle, compared to eight nearby counties. The range goes from each board member in Winnebago County representing 14,353 residents to Bureau County, where each represents 1,291. The Ogle County Board did redistricting in 2012 after the 2010 census, when the eight districts with three members each were approved. Turn to A2

Cemetery work continues The White Oak Cemetery Improvement Committee is continuing to restore fallen headstones. Committee member Russ Ruter said last week that 29 stones have been re-set and cemented. Most have fallen down or tipped over, he said. The cemetery is on White Oak Road west of Forreston. Other members of

the committee are Rick Stukenberg and Lloyd Wubbena. “Many [more] stones are in the same condition,” Ruter said. “One headstone we re-set was for a twomonth-old baby.” The Improvement Committee will continue as long as the money holds out, he said. “We want full respect for

our ancestors who protected our country and built our nation,” Ruter said. Donations for the work can be made to Sue Engelkens at Forreston State Bank or mailed to the bank at P.O. Box 278, Forreston IL 61030. When making a donation by check, write Improvement on the memo line.

Lions are selling hams The Leaf River Lions Club will sell Farmland Maple River hams for Christmas. The hams are scheduled to arrive on Wednesday, Dec. 7 when the Lions will sort and weigh them.

Hams may be picked up or will be delivered afterward. The fresh, boneless precooked hams range from 10 to 18 pounds and sell for $3.10 per pound. To place an order call Paul Lindstrom at 815-738-2761.

Hams can also be ordered at the Lions breakfasts in October or November. Proceeds from the ham sales helps fund the many vision and hearing projects supported by the Lions Club.

The New Life Community Center is seeking donations to provide turkey boxes to its patrons for Thanksgiving. Each box cost $16 and supplies a full Thanksgiving meal to those who could not otherwise afford it. Donations can be dropped off at the center on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 9 to 11:30 a.m. or mailed to PO Box 205, Forreston, IL 61030. The center is located on Ill. 72 in the former fire station building across from the

Forreston Post Office. Turkey boxes are provided to the center’s patrons each year at no cost to them through the support of local churches, private donations, and community involvement. “We want to thank those in advance who help this cause and thank those who continually support the New Life Community Center in our mission to bring both spiritual and tangible needs to our Forreston community,” said Director Tim Hotchkiss, pastor of North Grove Evangelical Church. The New Life Community Center offers support

to Forreston and the surrounding area with the food pantry, thrift store, and youth program. An average of 85 families per month are provided with food. The thrift store offers up-scale clothing and household items for all with the proceeds going back into the center to help offset the operating costs. The youth program meets during the school year on Wednesdays from 3 to 5 p.m. and is organized for junior and senior high students. It includes fellowship and Bible-based teaching to equip the students for life.

Earliest redistricting completion date is after 2020 census From A1 Prior to that the county was divided into four districts with six members from each, still resulting in a 24-member board.

The populations in communities on east side of the county were growing faster than on the west side, making redistricting necessary.

When the plan was discussed and ultimately approved June 23, 2011, County Board member Bobbie Colbert, Rochelle, voiced support for a

16-member board with two members from each of the eight new districts, just as McKinney is proposing

now. Her attempt to amend the plan was unsuccessful. At the time, Gouker spoke

in favor of the larger board because, he said, that would more adequately represent the citizens.

The annual Fall Fest dinner will be held on Friday, Oct. 28 from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at Disciples United Methodist Church, at the corner of Hitt Street (Ill. 64) and Maple Avenue at the west edge of Mt. Morris. This year’s event will include the “cookies by the pound sale” and silent auction full of trendy, useful, and fun items.

Morris and area residents, starting in the early 1930s at the old church on the corner of McKendrie and Front to the

present church. Early on, the women of the church held a day long bazaar and served a complete turkey dinner. The turkeys were provided by Bertha Baker from the Baker Turkey Farm just south of Mt. Morris. In 1945 they served 459 people at 75 cents a meal. In the 70s, after the merger of the Christian and Methodist churches, the turkey dinner changed to a noon turkey casserole luncheon with a daylong bazaar and coffee shop plus more. Today, a family style evening meal is served by the church women, consisting of their famous turkey casserole with all the trimmings including cranberry salad, rolls, relishes, and diner’s choice of homemade pie. Seconds are encouraged.

Wellness Fair was held in Oregon By Zach Arbogast zarbogast@oglecounty news.com The Wellness and Resource Fair provided flu vaccines, health screenings, wellness activities, cooking demonstrations, and even a bit of pampering to the public. The Rock River Center in Oregon kicked off the 2016 “Tune-Up For Life”

Wellness and Resource fair at 9 a.m. Friday, and gave visitors no shortage of information to help improve their quality of life. The Ogle County Health Department, Tri-County Opportunities Council, the Polo Rehabilitation & Health Care Center, Pinecrest Community, and KSB were among the 44 exhibitors present. The Ogle County

Health Department was administering flu vaccines at the end of the entrance hallway. “I think this is an amazing wellness fair, and we’re so happy to be a part of it,” said Cindy Schwartz, an RN with OCHD. Visitors could even collect signatures from exhibitors to win door prizes such as gift certificates and fruit baskets. Prizes were donated by

the workshop vendors and exhibitors. According to Vicky Broos, around 300 people attended the fair throughout the day. “That’s the number we usually get, and it looks like we’ve got about the same this time around,” she said. Broos is the University of Illinois Extension County Director representing Boone, Ogle, and DeKalb Counties.

Groundbreaking held for new LOMC building By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com A pastor was honored Sunday afternoon during a groundbreaking ceremony at the Lutheran Outdoor Ministries Center. “It is an honor to have a building named after me,” said Pastor Norman A. Nelson. “I will work to honor the name.” The Pastor Norman A. Nelson Program Center will be dedicated in the spring. It will be used for indoor activities at the camp year round. Nelson was reminded of

his days as a youth when he put on a hard hat before the groundbreaking. “I worked construction for three summers a long long time ago,” he said. “This was before I became a pastor.” Nelson spent years in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago and worked to bring the local youth into the Lutheran church. “There were thousands of youth in Chicago, but they were not attending churches,” said Nelson. “I spent time calling on the youth for eight years and they began attending the church. Eventually we had a youth group.” Nelson said the

congregation grew and a second youth group was created and the younger kids were in one group and the teenagers in the other. “I saw Sunday School attendance rise from 15 to 200 youth,” he said. “Working with the youth was important for me.” He thanked everyone for attending the groundbreaking. Two Lutheran Bishops officiated at the ceremony. Bishop Jeffrey Clements from the Northern Illinois Synod led the prayers and the blessings and Bishop Wayne Miller from the Metropolitan Chicago Synod, was the assisting minister for the day.

Deadly disease in deer is on the rise IDNR schedules meetings to help educate public By Kathleen Schultz kschultz@saukvalley.com Chronic wasting disease, an always-fatal neurological disease that threatens the long-term health of the regionâ€™s white-tailed deer, is on the rise in Ogle County. The numbers arenâ€™t huge, but are enough of a concern to prompt the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to add a couple of public meetings, including one in Oregon, to its annual CWD informational tour. Landowners, hunters, and concerned residents are encouraged to attend, and IDNR staff, tasked with finding ways to manage CWD, will be on hand to answer questions. CWD, normally found in southeastern Ogle County, lately also has been found in the northwest, near Forreston and German Valley, said Doug Dufford, IDNRâ€™s wildlife disease program manager. First documented in Illinois in 2002 near Roscoe, CWD has been detected in 16 counties across the northern edge and northeastern portions of Illinois as far south as the Illinois River Valley. The other counties affected are Jo Daviess, Stephenson, Winnebago, Boone, McHenry, Lake, DeKalb, Kane, DuPage, LaSalle,

CWD meetings in October

The IDNR is holding two informational meetings on chronic wasting disease this month, ahead of the firearm deer-hunting season, which this year runs from Nov. 18 to 20, and Dec. 1 to 4. Both meetings begin at 7 p.m. with a 30-minute presentation and discussion to follow. â€˘ The Ogle County meeting is Oct. 18 at the Nash Recreation Center, 304 S. Fifth St. in Oregon. â€˘ The other meeting is Oct. 19 in the Big Rock Park District Community Building, 7S405 Madison, in Big Rock in Kane County. Contact Doug Dufford, IDNRâ€™s wildlife disease program manager at 815-369-2414 or doug.dufford@ illinois.gov for more information. Kendall, Grundy, Will, Livingston, and Kankakee.Â Of those 16, the counties with the most cases as of June 30 were Boone with 11, Stephenson with 10, Jo Daviess, with 9, and Kane and McHenry with 8. The number of animals that tested positive in Ogle County over the past 5 fiscal years â€“ from July 1 to June 30 â€“ were two in 2012, three in 2013, one in 2014, two in 2015, and six in 2016. CWD attacks the brains of deer and elk and they eventually die. Infected deer might not show signs of the disease â€“ excessive salivation, loss of appetite, progressive weight loss, excessive thirst and urination, listlessness, teeth grinding, holding the head in a lowered position and drooping ears â€“ for 18 months or more. CWD can be transmitted by direct contact among animals in a herd, and through contact with or ingestion of infected saliva, blood, urine and feces. Because it can live in certain soils for many years, transmission by

is also be possible. There is no evidence that the disease can be passed to humans or to livestock, and eating the meat of an infected deer is not considered unsafe. However, because the infectious protein, or prion, that causes CWD accumulates in certain parts of the animal â€“ the brain, eyes, spinal cord, lymph nodes, tonsils and spleen â€“ those tissues should not be eaten, and health officials advise that no part of any animal with evidence of CWD should be eaten by humans or animals. Hunters are advised to take simple precautions when field dressing deer, such as wearing rubber gloves, boning out the meat, keeping the handling of brain and spinal tissues to a minimum, and washing hands and implements thoroughly. They also are asked to help track the disease by providing samples of harvested deer when requested and by alerting authorities when they find deer that are or are suspected to be infected.

Outdoor Adventure Club learns about animals By Lydia Sherburne Reporter

The Outdoor Adventure Club of Ogle County went to visit Russell Woods Forest Preserve in Genoa on Sept. 29. Peggy Doty was the speaker and educator. She showed us many animal skins, which we tried to identify.Â We also looked at animal skulls, real stuffed animals, antlers, snake skins, wings, and feathers.Â

Peggy Doty gave us a lot information that taught us so much.Â She let us pet a fox snake. She showed us how to tell a poisonous snake from a nonpoisonous snake by looking at their shed skin and their eyes if you really want to get that close.Â We saw how long a beaver tooth is and how far it goes back towards the neck.Â It was a great experience and we canâ€™t wait to go again. Outdoor Adventure Club

is a part of the 4-H Shooting Sports.Â Some of the things the club teaches are animal identification, how to use a map and compass, outdoor survival basics, and hunting ethics.Â There are games and activities that make the learning very fun. It is so cool!Â For more information on this club, call the Ogle County Extension Office at 815-732-2191.Â

Hopes theater is successful Dear Editor, My name is John Stephen Moehle, and I grew up in Oregon. Iâ€™ve heard that a couple from Sycamore wants to reopen the movie theater in town. I think that would be awesome but the community is very small. I also believe he would have to draw people from Byron, Mt. Morris, Rochelle, Dixon, Forreston, and Polo to make the theater a success. I wish him the best of luck, and I sincerely hope it happens. Sincerely, John Stephen Moehle Vernon Hills

Emotions ran high at game By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com The emotions at Forreston High School Oct. 6 were palpable when John Baker was introduced. “John Baker was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer earlier this year,” said Principal Travis Heinz as he introduced him before the start of the varsity volleyball game. The crowd in the gym stood up and applauded for Baker as he waved to the crowd in a gesture of thanks. He was hugged by Bailey

Brooks, a sophomore volleyball player. Members of the volleyball team presented Baker with flowers, balloons, and a sign autographed by team members. The volleyball program was hosting the annual Volley for the Cure night and proceeds from admission tickets, the 50/50 raffle, and the bake sale were donated to Baker. Coach Shannon Williams did not have an exact total but knew the evening raised more than $1,000 for the family

To the Electors of the State of Illinois: The Illinois Constitution establishes a structure for government and laws. There are three ways to initiate change to the Illinois Constitution: (1) a constitutional convention may propose changes to any part; (2) the General Assembly may propose changes to any part; or (3) a petition initiative may propose amendments limited to structural and procedural subjects contained in the Legislative Article. The people of Illinois must approve any changes to the Constitution before they become effective. The purpose of this document is to inform you of proposed changes to the Illinois Constitution and provide you with a brief explanation and a summary of the arguments in favor of and in opposition to the proposed amendment. Proposed changes in the existing constitutional amendment are indicated by underscoring all new matter and by crossing with a line all matter which is to be deleted. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ADD SECTION 11 TO ARTICLE IX OF THE ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION ARTICLE IX – REVENUE SECTION 11. TRANSPORTATION FUNDS (a) No moneys, including bond proceeds, derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes relating to registration, title, or operation or use of vehicles, or related to the use of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or to fuels used for propelling vehicles, or derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes relating to any other transportation infrastructure or transportation operation, shall be expended for purposes other than as provided in subsections (b) and (c). (b) Transportation funds may be expended for the following: the costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation, including statutory refunds and adjustments provided in those laws; payment of highway obligations; costs for construction, reconstruction, maintenance, repair, and betterment of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or other forms of transportation; and other statutory highway purposes. Transportation funds may also be expended for the State or local share of highway funds to match federal aid highway funds, and expenses of grade separation of highways and railroad crossings, including protection of at-grade highways and railroad crossings, and, with respect to local governments, other transportation purposes as authorized by law. (c) The costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation shall be limited to direct program expenses related to the following: the enforcement of traffic, railroad, and motor carrier laws; the safety of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, or airports; and the construction, reconstruction, improvement, repair, maintenance, operation, and administration of highways, under any related provisions of law or any purpose related or incident to, including grade separation of highways and railroad crossings. The limitations to the costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation under this subsection (c) shall also include direct program expenses related to workers’ compensation claims for death or injury of employees of the State’s transportation agency; the acquisition of land and the erection of buildings for highway purposes, including the acquisition of highway rights-of-way or for investigations to determine the reasonable anticipated future highway needs; and the making of surveys, plans, specifications, and estimates for the construction and maintenance of flight strips and highways. The expenses related to the construction and maintenance of flight strips and highways under this subsection (c) are for the purpose of providing access to military and naval reservations, defense-industries, defense-industry sites, and sources of raw materials, including the replacement of existing highways and highway connections shut off from general use at military and naval reservations, defense-industries, and defense-industry sites, or the purchase of rights-of-way. (d) None of the revenues described in subsection (a) of this Section shall, by transfer, offset, or otherwise, be diverted to any purpose other than those described in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section. (e) If the General Assembly appropriates funds for a mode of transportation not described in this Section, the General Assembly must provide for a dedicated source of funding. (f) Federal funds may be spent for any purposes authorized by federal law. EXPLANATION The proposed amendment adds a new Section to the Revenue Article of the Illinois Constitution that provides revenue generated from transportation related taxes and fees (referred to as “transportation funds”) shall be used exclusively for transportation related purposes. Transportation related taxes and fees include motor fuel taxes, vehicle registration fees, and other taxes and user fees dedicated to public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit (buses and rail), ports, or airports. Under the proposed amendment, transportation funds may be used by the State or local governments only for the following purposes: (1) costs related to administering transportation and vehicle laws, including public safety purposes and the payment of obligations such as bonds; (2) the State or local share necessary to secure federal funds or for local government transportation purposes as authorized by law; (3) the construction, reconstruction, improvement, repair, maintenance, and operation of highways, mass transit, and railroad crossings; (4) expenses related to workers’ compensation claims for death or injury of transportation agency employees; and (5) to purchase land for building highways or buildings for to be used for highway purposes. This new Section is a limitation on the power of the General Assembly or a unit of local government to use, divert, or transfer transportation funds for a purpose other than transportation. It does not, and is not intended to, impact or change the way in which the State and local governments use sales taxes, including the sales and excise tax on motor fuel, or alter home rule powers granted under this Constitution. It does not seek to change the way in which the State funds programs administered by the Illinois Secretary of State, Illinois Department of Transportation, and operations by the Illinois State Police directly dedicated to the safety of roads, or entities or programs funded by units of local government. Further, the Section does not impact the expenditure of federal funds, which may be spent for any purpose authorized by federal law. FORM OF BALLOT Proposed Amendment to the 1970 Illinois Constitution Explanation of Amendment The proposed amendment adds a new section to the Revenue Article of the Illinois Constitution. The proposed amendment provides that no moneys derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes, relating to registration, titles, operation, or use of vehicles or public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, or airports, or motor fuels, including bond proceeds, shall be expended for other than costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation, costs for construction, reconstruction, maintenance, repair, and betterment of public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or other forms of transportation, and other statutory highway purposes, including the State or local share to match federal aid highway funds. You are asked to decide whether the proposed amendment should become part of the Illinois Constitution. YES –––– NO

Forreston edges out Le-Win in a 13-7 contest By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com

Two Polo golfers represented the school at the Westminster Christian Sectional tournament held Monday at Randall Oaks Golf Club. Mack Llanas shot an 87 for the day and Christopher Rademacher had an 88. The only IHSA golfer to advance from the regional was West Carroll senior Anthony Mendoza with a round of 80. He needed a playoff to advance when he was tied with five other golfers for the qualifying spot. This is the second tournament of three that Mendoza has been involved in a playoff. Oregon sophomore Adam Merrill carded an 82 and senior Matt Myers an 85 to miss qualifying for the state meet. In a bit of surprise, Putnam County beat defending state champ Byron 308 to 314 for the sectional title. Aurora Christian took the final state-qualifying spot with a 320. The individual medalist was Winnebago freshman Marcus Smith, who shot even par-71 on the 6,330-yard Randall Oaks Course.

Speedsters Gavin Fuchs and AJ Christensen came into Friday’s game against Lena-Winslow averaging 19 and 11 yards a carry for Forreston. The Panthers game plan held the pair to under 40 combined yards rushing, never allowing them to get outside and turn the afterburners on. “Our game plan coming in was to shut those two down and limit the fullback,” LeWin coach Ric Arand said. However, in the battle of 1A state-ranked opponents, Forreston used its inside attack of fullback quick hitters, quarterback sneaks and halfback counters to pull out a 13-7 win. It was Forreston’s first win ever at home against Le-Win in eight tries. “It was definitely a defensive win,” Forreston coach Denny Diduch said. “Nothing came easy. They are just as fast as us.” With the score tied 7-7 late in the third quarter, Hunter Daws scored the winning touchdown on a 3-yard quarterback keeper. “I saw an open field, so I faked it to AJ, who got tackled by two Le-Win players,” Daws said. “Their corners were playing hard on the edges and the ends were crashing down. The whole game it was tough getting outside.” The Panthers drove into

Forreston territory twice in the fourth quarter, but Tyler Bryant stopped Payden Lingle one yard short on a fourth down and Sam Barkalow forced an errant pass on another fourth down. “I find it hard to believe we will play a better team the rest of the year,” said Arand, perhaps hinting at a rematch in the playoffs. L-W showed the Cardinals they were in for a dog fight on the first possession of the game, forcing a 3-andout. Compared to running roughshod over its previous six opponents, Forreston had to punt three times in the first half alone. Le-Win had just as hard of a time moving the ball on a Forreston defense which forced three first-half turnovers. Lane Henneman stopped an early scoring threat by intercepting Tanner Lawfer at the 14-yard line. Cody Moser then recovered a Rahveon Valentine fumble at midfield. The biggest defensive stand by the Cardinals, though, came with less than a minute left in the half. After Lingle scored on a 27-yard run to tie the game, Le-Win got the ball back on a punt. An 11-play drive set up a fourth-and-goal at the 1-yard line. Lingle number was called and he was popped short of the goaline by a host of Cardinals, fumbling the ball into the endzone. After a Turn to B2

Polo had chances Friday The Marcos fell to Freeport Aquin 20-34 Friday evening. The first quarter was neck and neck. Aquin’s Tim Harrington drove in a 20 yard run to draw first blood, but Polo’s Reid Taylor responded with a touchdown for the Marcos. A missed extra point saw the Marcos trailing 6-7, until a 45 yard touchdown run from Tristen Aguilar and Polo’s Braiden Soltow looks to avoid the group of Milledgeville defenders during the a good kick put the Marcos to 13.

answered back with a 50 yard run of his own, ending the first quarter 13-14 Aquin. The second quarter was less successful for Polo, with only one scoring drive. A 14 yard pass to Taylor put the Marcos in the lead again with 20, but a 55 yard kick return from Herrington brought Aquin right back in the lead with 21. A 30 yard pass to Zac Cummins widened the gap in Aquin’s favor to 27-20.

Radio personality receives a big honor By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com In a special presentation at halftime of the Forreston-

Lena-Winslow football game, Big Radio’s Don Werntz was presented with the IHSA Distinguished Media Service Award, an honor given those in the

media for length of service and perspective on the high school sports scene. With Werntz’s family and friends standing nearby in the middle of the football field,

“It’s so nice to get recognition from your peers... I think it is a longevity award” — Don Werntz

Radio personality Don Werntz waves to the Forreston and Lena-Winslow crowd Oct. 7 while being presented the IHSA Media Award. Photo by Robin Kerchner

Durand athletic director Pete Robertson, who nominated Werntz, presented him with a plaque. “I’ve known Don for 36 years. He did my games when I played at Milledgeville in the mid 80s,” Robertson said. “He’s best at what he does and nobody does more homework than him. We’re proud and blessed to have him for area sports.” Werntz addressed the crowd, even imploring coach Ric Arand and his players to prepare for the second half instead of staying for the rest of the ceremony. In keeping with the close personal relationships Werntz has with area coaches, Arand made a wisecrack, but followed the suggestion. “It’s so nice to get recognition from your peers and have developed so many relationships over 45 years,” said Werntz, who got his start broadcasting as an 11-year old doing Freeport Little League games. “I think it is a longevity award.” Forreston principal Travis Heinz was one of several coaches and administrators

there to pay respect to Werntz. “Don is the voice of northwest Illinois sports,” Heinz said. “He always tries to do what is best for the kids. It’s special that he called my games when I was in high school (at Freeport) and now he is calling my sons.” Werntz has had plenty of support with his broadcasting duties, as sideline reporter Larry Phillips and in-booth color analyst John Reed have been with him for over 30 years. “First and foremost, Don is a friend of mine,” said Reed, during a commercial break. “He’s two years older than me and I started to listen to him before I got started. I’m glad he asked me to tag along for what’s been a wonderful ride.” On the radio, Werntz, 60, hinted he planned to continue doing high school games until he was at least 70. Whether he was serious or not, one thing is sure – no one would be better prepared than him or have the breadth of knowledge for northwest Illinois high school sports.

Scores were low after halftime. Polo did not score in the third quarter, and Aquin put up one scoring drive to make the score 3420. Neither team scored in the fourth quarter. The Marcos beat Aquin handily in rushing yards, 194-163. Aquin won the passing game with 114 compared to Polo’s 83. Other stats were close, but the Marcos were hurt by two fumbles (both losses) and four penalties worth 45 yards. Aguilar led the Marcos in rushing with 185 yards, while Taylor had seven pass receptions for 65 yards. Quarterback Braiden Soltow completed seven out of ten passes, racking up 78 yards. He threw zero interceptions. The Marcos are home against AFC on October 14. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

Two close matches for Polo VB The lady Marcos suffered a couple of defeats over the last week On Thursday evening the girls lost a close set against Dakota, losing 22-25, 20-25. Rilley Peterson had 6 kills this game, and Kenzie Dusing came up with 14 assists, five aces. Polo also were unsuccessful against Durand earlier in the week, scores 13-25, 14-25 Rilley Peterson led the charge with 7 kills, 11 digs. The girls prepare to take on AFC, Amboy, and the Durand Varsity Tournament in the upcoming week.

EPC, Forreston play on Friday Both teams are undefeated By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com

Forreston used six running backs From B1

drive with a touchdown on fourth down for a 7-0 Forreston lead. It took 15 seconds for the officials to rule that Akins was over by the length of a football. On L-W’s next possession, an athletic play that doesn’t show up in the stats, but had coach Diduch jumping for joy on the sideline, was Fuchs alertly knocking away a pass from an open receiver. “We didn’t do anything flashy on defense,” Forreston defensive coordinator Kyle Zick said. “We played hard

scramble, Henneman recovered it for Forreston. “The whole first quarter, we had opportunities,” Arand said. “I was not happy to be 7-7 at half with the way we controlled field position.” It wasn’t until its third possession, after the Moser recovery, that Forreston got its offense into high gear. Using six different running backs, the Cardinals advanced to the 1-yard line Leading rusher Matt Akins (18-93) capped off a 12-play

for all four quarters.” All night, L-W beat Forreston on special teams’ field position. A 42-yard Bailey Litow punt that was downed on the 1-yard line was a key factor in the Panther’s lone score. Unable to move the ball, a Forreston punt gave the ball back to L-W only 29 yards from the goaline. Two plays later, Lingle broke through the first wave of tacklers and ran untouched the rest of the way for a 22-yard touchdown and 7-7 tie. Having trouble moving the ball, Diduch opted for the shotgun and Daws responded with three straight carries for 30 yards. Valentine then tackled Evan Kelsey for a 5-yard loss on a sweep and the Cardinals had to punt again. “We shot ourselves in the foot a few times. We have a lot to improve with our offense,” Diduch said. L-W used two third-and-7 conversions to advance to the 1-yard line before Henneman’s fumble recovery as both teams went to the half tied. Forreston dominated the third quarter, as sophomore Garrett Badertscher rambled 17 yards on Forreston’s first possession to move the ball past midfield. The Cardinals

had a chance to score, but a wobbly pass by Daws to a wide-open Fuchs was knocked away by Lawfer on fourth down. On Forreston’s winning 14-play drive that traversed 70 yards, there were two keys plays. The first was a fourth-and-2 conversion by Henneman, who went 13 yards on the counter. “I felt we had a gap,” said Diduch, explaining why he took the risk of going for it at his own 38-yard line. Then, on third-and-11, Christensen finally got outside for a 12-yard gain, breaking two tackles. “That wasn’t his best play,” Diduch said. “In fact, the best play of the game for us may have been on the last drive when we had third-and-8. AJ was contacted at the line and still got six yards. That kept us from punting.” An Akins’ 6-yard run gave Forreston the first down and Daws went into victory formation shortly afterwards. The Cardinals gained all 262 off it yards rushing, mostly between the tackles. The high-scoring Panthers only had 160 yards of total offense. Next Friday, Forreston travels to EPC in a match-up between undefeated NUIC leaders.

“It’s Sunday and I’m already nervous,” said EPC coach Randy Asche in anticipation of Friday’s game with Forreston. The two small-school powers come into the NUIC clash undefeated and stateranked. It was the same scenario two years ago, with both going on to claim state titles. Asche knows his biggest challenge will be slowing down Forreston’s high octane rushing game. “They are scary,” Asche said. “They have so many weapons and their offensive linemen get off the ball as good as anyone I’ve seen all year.” In a 13-7 loss, LenaWinslow was able to contain Forreston’s outside running game, but were hurt up the middle, a fact not lost on Asche. “You want to set the edge and play outside and they go inside with the fullback,” Asche said. “I think Le-Win had a great game plan, but Forreston had too many athletes. I could probably name 20 off that roster, for example someone like (Lane) Henneman who doesn’t even start on offense.” Le-Win was also able to defend the pass, though Asche sees Forreston at being content hammering the ball on the ground. “Down and distance doesn’t scare them,” Asche said. “They feel so good about their inside and outside game. Their bread and butter is running the football.” Brighton Haverland, a starter on the 2014 championship team as a sophomore, leads EPC. The 6-5, 215-pounder moved from tight end to quarterback and has what Asche calls the

team his Panthers will play the rest of the year. He said the same thing to me in the first round of the 2013 playoffs, after Le-Win beat Forreston 24-10 on its way to a state title. Though the Cardinals were bounced in the first round, they could have just as easily been the state finals in 2013. That’s how good these two programs are and who knows better than the coaches themselves. Thus, it is not far-fetched to say that Forreston and Le-Win are the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in 1A.

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com The Forreston-LenaWinslow football game was of state-championship caliber. Either one of those teams could find themselves at Memorial Stadium in Champaign on the Friday after Thanksgiving. An interesting quote from Le-Win coach was to the effect that Forreston is the best

Tuscola, which beat No. 1 Decatur St. Teresa 33-14 on Friday, might argue that sentiment. This could be one of the most intriguing years for 1A with a downstate power like Tuscola, Fulton on the bubble of 1A/2A, an untested Ottawa Marquette and of course, the usual cast of characters in the NUIC. Can Forreston win it all? Right now, they are seeded No. 1 in the state in the IHSA playoff outlook for 1A. When the weekly A.P. state rankings come out, they might move up to No. 1.

The Cubs are considered the best team in baseball, but only have a 25 percent chance of winning the World Series. It seems illogical, but is a statistical truth. The same applies to Forreston. They might be considered the best team in 1A, but there are anomalies existing that lower the likelihood at winning out, even as the favorite. Two years ago was a perfect example. In an empirical sense, Forreston was the best team in 1A and favored to win state. But, remember what nearly happened? They were nearly derailed by Galena in the semifinals. With how well LenaWinslow performed against Forreston, the Cardinals’ statistical advantage in winning a state title has to be reduced. If I were Forreston, I would much rather play higherranked Ottawa Marquette than Le-Win. Here’s a scary thought. It is entirely possible that both Forreston and Le-Win will be better next year. I didn’t realize how young Le-Win was until I looked at their roster. The Panthers could be a mirror image of Forreston next season, though I have gone on record as predicting a 2017 state title for the Cardinals. I was kind of surprised that Freeport Aquin beat Polo. Maybe Aquin is better than I gave them credit for. Still, the Marcos shouldn’t have any problem finishing 6-3, though an interesting

game in week nine against Orangeville awaits. The Broncos, the secondsmallest football-playing school in the state with and enrollment of 111, should be 4-4 and host Polo with a playoff berth on the line. Perhaps the weirdest high school football game of the year took place Saturday between Varna Midland River Valley and Rockford Christian Life, two of the most beleaguered teams in the state. River Valley came into the game having been outscored 379-10, even in one of the weakest conferences in the state – the NEAC, that stretches from Rockford to Chicago to the cornfields of central Illinois. Considered 3A, River Valley resorted to forfeiting numerous games in 2014 and 2015 because of low numbers. Christian Life is 2A and has only 10 varsity players. What took place on Saturday was eight-man football, with River Valley winning its first game in quite awhile, 42-40. When you see good numbers for 1A programs like Le-Win and Forreston, it’s a rarity. Last week, mention was made of the Hennepin 100mile run. It seems as though 100 miles wasn’t enough for one of the runners. Stormy Kies, a 48-year old from Woodstock who finished with a time of 26 hours and 46 minutes, turned around and ran 100 miles back to starting line, for a total of 60 hours of running. It’s probably safe to say that he slept pretty well that night.

‘measurables’. He anchor the defense at linebacker. Another senior that is pivotal to the Wildcat offense is Keegan Schubert, a 5-8, 180-pound running back. He had been injured previously, but is healthy. “Schubie is a horse. He’s fast, has great vision and balance,” Asche said. Sophomores Jarod and Jayden Kempel provide depth at running back and filled in nicely when Schubert was out with his injury. EPC is also extremely young in the line, starting one freshman, three sophomores and a junior. One of those, junior Peyton Asche is a 6-7, 320-pound college prospect and son of the head coach. EPC has another 320-pounder in sophomore Addison Kelpner. Both line up at tackle. The other three offensive linemen only go 175-180 pounds. EPC’s go-to receiver is Skyler Fischer, a senior who hasn’t played since his freshman year. The 5-10, 165-pounder had 190 yards receiving against Amboy. “Peyton talked him into coming out. He said he play if Peyton would come out for basketball,” Asche said. “Skyler is one of the premier athletes in the area.” Asche feels his team is the underdog against Forreston is one reason is the stingy Cardinal defense. “One thing I’ve learned in my 10 years of coaching is that speed kills and Forreston has that on defense,” Asche said. “They are so fast to the football. Not only that, but they are well versed in the game and work well as a unit. I’d describe them as a welloiled machine.” An example of this according to Asche is the play of Gavin Fuchs. “He might be the key on defense,” Asche said. “He is all over the field and like to hit. When you have kids like him that are wellprepared and fast, it’s hard to compete with them.”

Regional matchups revealed The regular girls volleyball season wraps up soon, and that means regionals begin on Monday, Oct. 24.

Administered in Illinois by the Universal Telephone Assistance Corporation (UTAC) LifeLine Program Making local phone service affordable Lifeline is a program which provides $9.25 in assistance to help pay monthly charge from local telephone service. This federally funded program is available to qualified low-income consumers. If the qualifying low-income consumer voluntarily elects toll blocking while initiating Lifeline service, a service deposit is not required. If toll blocking is unavailable, the carrier may charge a service deposit. Toll blocking will prevent the connection of outgoing toll calls from a residence. Who is eligible for these programs? You are eligible if you are a recipient of one of the following programs: Medicaid SNAP (food stamps) Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Federal Public Housing Assistance Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) National School Lunch Free Lunch Program Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) Where can I apply for the LifeLine and/or LinkUp programs? For additional information or enrollment in these programs, contact the Leaf River Telephone Company. Link-up and Lifeline are federally funded programs. The Illinois Commerce Commission cannot guarantee that all Eligible Telecommunications Carriers will receive funding to support these programs. Reimbursement for these programs depends on the FCC's Fund Administrator's management and distribution of the funds collected through universal service mechanisms. The Universal Telephone Service Assistance Program (UTSAP)

The Universal Telephone Service Assistance Program (UTSAP) is funded by voluntary contributions from Illinois ratepayers. Consumers wishing to participate in the funding of UTSAP may do so by electing to contribute, on a monthly basis, a fixed amount to be included by the Leaf River Telephone Company on their monthly telephone bill. Customers may designate an amount to be included each month from these choices Residential customers

Customers may also elect to make a onetime contribution to the UTSAP Administrator. It is the responsibility of the local exchange company to solicit, collect and remit the contributions on behalf of the customers to the UTSAP Administrator. The address of the UTSAP Administrator is: Post Office Box 1176, Springfield, Illinois 62705-1176. The voluntary contributions assist qualified low-income customers by providing additional assistance to the Universal Telephone Assistance programs. Those who wish to apply for assistance or make a contribution to UTSAP may contact their local telephone company. Each year the Commission determines the amount of UTSAP assistance, most recently in Docket 07-0399. October 13, 2016
