Village amends liquor sale hours By Zach Arbogast zarbogast@oglecounty news.com The Forreston Village Board is making changes to an outdated liquor ordinance. Liquor will now be sold in Forreston from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. on Sundays, instead of 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. During Monday’s board meeting, the board agreed to a request from Josh Lamping, owner of Josh’s Saloon, 212 First Ave., Forreston, to allow him to sell liquor on Sundays for the expanded hours to better accommodate the times Sunday football games are broadcast. “I’m not saying you have to do what other towns do, but other towns have expanded Sundays,” Lamping said. The board voiced no objections to granting the request. “When the ordinance was passed was the first time I was on the board… the reason they went with noon was that a lot

of the churches got out at that time,” said Trustee Ken Toms. A temporary change was granted Monday, with an official ordinance change scheduled for the next meeting, so the new hours can be effective immediately. Afterwards, Sharon Pepin, Community Funding & Planning Services consultant, spoke to the board about the proposed Tax Increment Finance district, covering Dave and Shirley Vietmeier’s northern 17 acres annexed into the village, the corporate boundaries east of Ill. 26, as well as vacant lots on the southeast part of the village. The vacant lots located across from Forreston High School, north of East Main Street and Ill. 72, referred to as the Ludwig properties, presented good development opportunities for the village, but Pepin said it turns out they are not eligible to be in the TIF district.

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The 30-year-old Rockford police officer who died early Sunday after a scuffle with another man during a traffic stop had ties to Mt. Morris. Jaimie Cox’s grandparents, the late Don and Joyce Cox, were Mt. Morris residents, and his father Jim grew up in town and graduated from Mt. Morris High School in 1977. Mt. Morris Police Chief Jason White said Jaimie also lived in town for a few months while attending training for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources Conservation Police, where he worked before joining the Rockford Police Department in 2016. “He was a very nice young man,” White said. “It’s an unfortunate incident all the way around.” According to the Rockford Register Star, Rockford police said Cox made a traffic stop on a pickup truck near East State Street and Dawn Avenue shortly after 1 a.m. on Nov. 5. Police believe that during the traffic stop, Cox scuffled with the driver Eddie Patterson, 49, became entangled with the truck and opened fire with his sidearm. The truck struck a tree approximately two blocks from where Cox made the traffic stop. Cox radioed for assistance during the incident. Cox was transported by ambulance to OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center where he was pronounced

dead. Patterson also died. After an autopsy on Monday, the Winnebago County Coroner said Cox died from blunt force trauma and ruled his death a homicide. An autopsy also revealed that Patterson suffered a gunshot wound which is listed as his cause of death. He also suffered blunt force trauma in the incident. Authorities say the plates on Patterson’s truck did not match the truck, which may have been the reason Cox pulled Patterson over. An investigation is ongoing by Rockford Police and the Winnebago-Boone County Integrity Task Force. Cox graduated from Hononegah High School and had served in the U.S. Army National Guard. Visitation for Cox will be held on Friday, Nov. 10 from 3 to 9 p.m. at First Free Evangelical Church, 2223 N. Mulford Road, Rockford, with the law enforcement walk-through scheduled for 6 p.m.

Emotions soar at Honor Flight By Peter Balser pbalser@sauk valley.com It was a day that will live in their hearts and minds forever. The 42nd Honor Flight of the Quad Cities landed in Washington, D.C. on Nov. 1 with 97 veterans on board: three who served during World War II, 14 who served in the Korean War, and 80 who served in the Vietnam War. It was the second flight in as many years for Lee County Honor Flight, a chapter of the Quad Cities hub. Although most of the veterans were from throughout Lee County, Ogle, Whiteside, Bureau and Carroll Counties were represented as well. A handful also were from the Quad Cities, from LaSalle, DeKalb and DuPage counties, and even from Clinton and Camanche, Iowa. They were seen off at Quad Cities International Airport by active service members, Honor Flight staff, and TV news crews, and greeted at Dulles International Airport by a horde of cheering gradeschoolers and strangers, all waiting to celebrate their arrival. The students cheered them on as heros, waving flags, giving them homemade
To get on board Honor Flight is a national program that sends veterans on a one-day, jam-packed trip to Washington, D.C., to explore war memorials and other attractions while giving them the star treatment. The flights, all funded by donations, are free to veterans, combat or otherwise, who are accompanied by volunteer guardians who pay their own way and help veterans throughout the day. Lee County Honor Flight, which was created in 2010, now has sent more than 300 veterans on flights, as has Whiteside County Honor Flight, which launched in summer 2009. To volunteer or donate to Honor Flight, call the Lee County chapter at 815-288-5683 or Whiteside County chapter at 815-499-6100.

The veterans were in tears and speechless, and they went outside to another large group of kids singing patriotic songs and cheering them on while they boarded three buses. “I’m a pretty stoic guy, but I had tears running down my cheeks,” said Oregon native and Army veteran Larry Saathoff, 68. After the emotional arrival, the vets took time to enjoy the Udvar-Hazy Center, a companion building to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. They split into groups and received free guided tours through its two enormous hangars. These veterans had highly personal perspectives on the exhibits. “The F-105 went in around
the same time as me,” Henry Toms said. The Dixon native and 86-year-old Air Force veteran greatly appreciated the tour. “That’s why veterans like this stuff so much. It’s something they know and can relate to,” he said. The Changing of the Guard was one of the most important stops of the day, as the group holds so much respect for the sentinels at Arlington National Cemetery for the precision of their movements and their intense dedication to their duties. The Honor Guard members showed that the respect was mutual, as they ceremoniously dragged their heels during the change, as a show of respect to the group. Emotions remained high as the vets split up to roam the National Mall, visiting the Lincoln, Korean and

Vietnam war memorials. Vietnam veteran John Tuttle, 71, of Oregon, who served in the Army brought with him a note, written by Tuttle, signed “T-bone”, and addressed to one of his best friends during service, Sgt. “Cowboy”. Cowboy’s real name was George L. Coody, and with tears in his eyes, Tuttle rubbed that name out on a sheet of paper while visiting the Vietnam War Memorial wall. Navy veteran Ida Johnson, 82, of Dixon, the only servicewoman on this trip, was surprised by her son, his wife, and her two grandchildren when she arrived at the National Mall. “I couldn’t believe it. They made the day so much better,” Johnson said. She connects with these family members only a couple of times a year, so the

reunion was emotional. The trip ended with a visit to the World War II memorial, which the group had the pleasure of seeing at night, while the lights were on. After a tired flight back to the Quad Cities, the veterans received one last show of admiration and respect. As they walked through
the airport to the main lobby, they were met by a throng of about 300 friends, family members, strangers, and servicemen and women – and even bagpipes – all cheering for them, hugging them, and thanking them. Mt. Morris native Karen Clark, now of Oakton, Virginia, contributed to this story.

Oregon United Methodist Church to host special service Nov. 12 Oregon United Methodist Church will host its second annual 2C@OUMC event on Sunday, Nov. 12 at 9 a.m. The event was created last year as non-threatening opportunity for visitors to check out the church, particularly if they are looking for a place to worship, said the Rev.
Thomas Kim, pastor of the congregation. 2C stands for 200, Kim said. In 2016, the congregation numbered 176 people to worship together for the 2C@OUMC Sunday morning service, so they continue to aim for the 200 mark. “We didn’t see it as a

failure,” Kim said of the previous event. The church’s weekly attendance typically runs at about 100 worshipers. “Whenever two or more gather in Jesus’s name, He is with us,” he said. “It is our joy and pleasure to worship Him together.” When Kim arrived in town more than a year ago, the church’s new pastor was provided a community

profile based on 2010 U.S. census data numbers by his denomination’s Northern Illinois Conference. “I saw that more than 40 percent of the population in the Oregon community say they are spiritual people,” he said. “But less than 18 percent regularly attended worship services. I wondered, How could this be? Where is everybody?” That nagging question grew into a full-blown event he dubbed 2C@OUMC. “We are inviting anyone in the community to visit and to see what’s going on here.” Rev. Kim is aiming for an attendance of 200 people for the Sunday service on Nov. 12, about double its normal size “2C@OUMC will give visitors a chance to see what we’re all about. And it will give everyone who’s here already a chance to see what
200 people look like in the pews and what 200 people sound like singing together,” said Julie Ebens, chairman of the OUMC evangelism committee, which is organizing the event. “It has been Pastor Tom’s brain-child, but those of us who’ve been attending for a while remember back a decade or more ago when 200 people were our regular attendance,” she said. “This is a chance for people to visit on a Sunday when there will be lots of visitors. It’s a good, non-threatening way to check us out.” A reception will follow the worship service. Kim, a one-time political prisoner in South Korea, came to the U.S. in 1987. He has pastored rural, urban and suburban churches for the past 24 years. In 2016, he began offering Holy Communion weekly

at 9 a.m. Wednesdays in the OUMC memorial chapel. In addition, the church began a Saturday night service weekly for those who can’t worship on Sundays because of work or family commitments. These ministries are open to everyone. “The church is seeking honestly to provide spiritual nourishment, not only for this congregation but also to all people in our community,” Kim said. “If there are ones who are thirsty or hungry, burdened or weary, we invite them to taste and to be refreshed with the power of the Holy Spirit, to experience with us an enthusiastic celebration of life in Christ,” he said.

Local students learn about apples and pumpkins Students throughout Ogle and Carroll counties learned about apples and pumpkins through the Ag in the Classroom program. In September students found out how an apple seed becomes a tree. Younger elementary students decorated trees to show the different seasons. Winter trees had cotton glued to them; pink tissue made into little balls represented blossoms on spring trees; and students finger painted green and red apples on the other trees. Older elementary students made an apple chain so they could tell the apple story to their families. In October students heard the story “Pumpkin Jack� by Will Hubbell. Through the story they discovered the life cycle of a pumpkin. Kindergarten students illustrated their own pumpkin books to share.
Other students made a pumpkin chain and some made pumpkin charms. All the projects represented the pumpkin life cycle and gave them an opportunity to share the knowledge they gained with others. You may be asking yourself how apples and pumpkins relate to agriculture. When we think of agriculture in our area, we usually think of corn, beans, and cattle. Did you know that Illinois farmers grow more pumpkins than anywhere else in the world? They grow 90 percent of the pumpkins used for processing. Most of the processing takes place in Morton, Illinois — The Pumpkin Capital of the World. So even though we may not see huge apple orchards or pumpkin patches outside our back door, they are part
of agriculture. Agriculture in the Classroom is a program to help students gain a greater awareness of the role of agriculture in the economy and society. Students learn that thousands of farm products are in the world around them—on their plate, in the clothes they wear, in the medicine that makes them well, and in earth-friendly fuels and plastics. Ag in the Classroom is offered through the University of Illinois Extension in partnership with Ogle County Farm Bureau, Carroll County Farm Bureau, Ogle County Soil & Water, and Carroll County Soil & Water. For more information about the program, call the Ogle County Extension Office at 815-732-2191 or visit the Extension website Brooklyn Buhler from Patricia Burke’s second grade class at Highland School in at web.extension.illlinois. Stillman Valley shows the pumpkin chain she made as part of the Ag in the Classroom program. Photo supplied edu/bdo.

Guest Column Polo citizen of the Year says thank you By Joan Raley Polo Citizen of the Year
Thank you for honoring me as the 2017 Polo Citizen of the Year! This award was such a surprise that I failed to thank those who have cooperatively worked with me in placing eight properties on the National Register of Historic Places. Chris Payne, architect from Oak Park, has made many, many trips to Polo to write the description of the properties. He detailed the characteristics of a type, period or method of construction, or represents the work of a master
architect. Chris came to visit Polo to see if the three homes and school designed by the architect Joseph Lyman Silsbee were as beautiful as the homes designed by Silsbee in Syracuse, New York, where he attended college. Chris was so impressed with Polo and the properties that he volunteered his services to describe seven of the properties for the applications. It was my job to research the historical significance of the property. Library director Ellen Finfrock and Betty Shepardson were most helpful in finding the books and older newspaper articles that were necessary to document the historic significance for the bibliography. Several times they

permitted me to stay after closing hours to finish my research. Placing the Carnegie library on the National Register required me to learn to write grants. I had to write a grant to obtain funds to make the library handicap accessible with a lift. The second grant provided funds for air conditioning the library. The third grant made possible the Children’s Library on the lower level of the library. City clerk Susie Corbitt, was most kind in finding the legal descriptions of all eight properties. She always welcomed me with a smile and remarked she would put aside her work to help me find and record the information. We are very fortunate to have an active Polo Historic
Society. The members have been very supportive of my work. They also maintain the properties owned by the Polo Historical Society that are placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Betty Obendorf has always been helpful in finding additional information when it is requested by the 12 member Board of Review of the National Register. Betty also joined us to defend the final review of Joan Raley is the 2017 Polo Chamber of Commerce the Aplington House when Citizen of the Year.

A Christmas decorations bazaar and bake sale will be held on Friday, Nov. 17 and Saturday, Nov. 18 at the Masonic Lodge on the corner of Ill. 2 and East Ashelford Drive, just north of Byron. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday
and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday. Besides the holiday sweet treats at the bake sale, the bazaar will offer previously owned Christmas decorations – all in good condition. Items include wreaths, Christmas
tree ornaments, strings of lights, gift bags, candles, and home and table decorations. Funds raised will go to support the work of the women of All Saints Lutheran Church.
Public Voice Event sponsors & volunteers thanked
Dear Editor, As event coordinator for the Oregon Park District, I would like to thank the generous sponsors of our recent Halloween events. Many of our special events, such as the Halloween Carnival and Canine Costume Contest, are free to the community. We would not be able to host these wonderful and popular events without the help of our local businesses.
Over 250 children enjoyed the carnivals this year thanks to our local businesses. Thank you also to our 41 volunteers who worked the carnivals. I can’t find the words to express my gratitude for the businesses that support the Oregon Park District. Small businesses struggle in this economy and are constantly being asked for donations. They can’t say “yes” to every request. However, many of our local businesses in Oregon continue to sponsor or donate to the park district knowing local children will
benefit from their generosity. I am so grateful for their sense of community and their support. Not only did businesses support the carnivals, there were a few that are always willing to support the canine events. The annual Howl’oween Canine Costume Contest was a big hit with both humans and their hounds dressed up. We wouldn’t have had the great prizes without the support of our sponsors. They gave generously and provided judges for the contest. The show of community
support and business involvement is one reason living and working in Oregon is so rewarding. A very special thank you to our local businesses that do their very best to continue and give back to their community. A very special thank you to the volunteers who give of their time and talents to help out and give back to their communities. There is no better place for Halloween fun than right here in Oregon. There is also no better place to work than the Oregon Park District where

Neighbor says no to jail site
Dear Editor, In response to the recent letters to the editor, I live and have lived on South Sixth Street for over 40 years and only one block from the proposed new jail site. No one has stopped and asked me or my neighbors what we think of the jail
projects, so instead of fighting and assuming the county board members know what the neighborhood wants, why don’t you ask them? I don’t want the street closed and it does affect me. Don Stevens Oregon

Cardinals start early, beat Steamers 30-6 By Brian Weidman bweidman@sauk valley.com When Fulton’s preferred mode of transportation was shut down completely, it had to go to Plan B against Forreston. The Steamers had a bit of success, but not nearly enough to hang with the Cardinals, who rolled to a 30-6 victory on Saturday afternoon in a Class 1A second-round game. Fulton (7-4) had 11 carries for minus-42 yards in the first half. Austin Schroeder, who entered the game with 164 carries for 1,374 yards, had four carries for minus-17 yards before halftime. Quarterback Bryce Grant, counting sack yardage, had three attempts for minus-26 yards. The Steamers had six 3-and-outs in seven firsthalf possessions, with the lone exception coming when Grant lost a fumble on a firstdown play. “The first half, we knew Forreston was good, and they were pressuring on the edge,” Grant said. “I was having to scramble a little bit. The second half, we figured it out and started moving the ball a little bit.” The Steamers all but abandoned the run in the second half, and did have some success through the air. Grant threw for 73 yards in the last two quarters, and he also hauled in a 27-yard halfback option pass from Schroeder for Fulton’s only score. Grant also provided Fulton with a much-needed defensive spark when his interception stopped a Forreston drive deep in
Up next:
1A Quarterfinals Princeville at Forreston, Saturday 4:30 p.m. Steamers’ territory early in the second half. The defending state champion Cardinals (10-1) wasted little time in seizing control, with touchdowns on three of their first four possessions, and moving the ball virtually at will on the ground. Garett Badertscher (13 carries, 72 yards) and AJ Christensen (11-69) each scored on two short touchdown runs, while Evan Kelsey (10-69), Ethan Mulder (9-52) and Gavin Fuchs (9-51) also were effective. Forreston had 320 total yards, all on the ground. “Our offensive line is able to get a push every play,” Badertscher said. “We’ve got good backs that follow a good offensive line. It’s fun to play in an offense like that.” Forreston coach Denny Diduch was thrilled to see his team perform the way it did Forreston’s Garett Badertscher (32) runs for a gain as Fulton’s Ethan Fish (56) gets a hand on him during action on early. “We’re both trying to feel Saturday.

As they figured things out, they were able to find some holes. It’s very important, especially in the playoffs with two teams that aren’t familiar with each other, to win that first 8 minutes.”

Good numbers for Lady Marcos basketball By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com In looking ahead to the upcoming season, Polo girls basketball coach Jeff Grobe has made it clear that he will not hesitate to use freshmen on his varsity. For the first time in
awhile, the veteran 10-year coach has enough players in the program so that no one is guaranteed a starting position. “We have a strong freshman class that will push the upperclassmen,” Grobe said. “It’s the most athletic class I’ve had and are 7-8 deep. They’ll play together
on the fresh-soph and some of them on varsity. They’ll be tired.” For Grobe it will come down to production in practice and on the court in games. “If the upperclassmen don’t want to work hard, there will be kids pushing them,” he added. “The freshmen are
hungry and I’m not afraid to play underclassmen.” With small numbers in previous years, there was a lack of competition in practice which hindered the development of the program. Can the incoming freshmen eventually get the Marcos to upper levels of the NUIC? For now, Grobe is hoping

to be in the middle of the pack in the conference. He sees Milledgeville and Aquin as the teams to beat. Leading Polo will be senior Rilley Peterson, a 5-7 point guard. Peterson is most experienced player, entering her third year on varsity, and the key cog Grobe is counting on the quarterback the team.. “She has a good sense of the court and is our best shooter,” Grobe said. “She’s knows where everyone is and tries to thread the needle. Sometimes, she tries to do too much and we’ll work with her to play under control more.” Bonna Pellini and Hanna Blumhoff, a pair of 5-9 seniors, will be counted to lead the rebounding brigade. Helping out Peterson at guard are four juniors. Cassie Bushman, Lizzy Stamm, Lexi Cox and CJ Gray are fairly close in ability according to Grobe. “They’re all about the same,” he said. “It could be any of two of those four at one time at guard with Peterson. Freshman Alex Dusing has been brought up to play post. “She’s very strong for a freshman and had a good summer,” Grobe said. “As the season goes, Becca Wagner (5-9 G/F)will come
up.” Besides the incoming freshman group, Grobe is pleased to have 21 girls in the program. “I’m used to having 13-14,” he said. “It’s nice having a back up and fresh legs.” That will help the Marcos do things on the court that hadn’t been able to before. “We’re going to try to get out and go,” Grobe said. “We have a lot of speed. We’ll be pressing and gunning.” With a relatively new mix of players this year, inexperience may be a concern. But, the Marcos won’t be playing tentative. “The key will be everyone knowing their roles,” Grobe said. “We’ll be aggressive on defense. We have five fouls each and if we have to, we’ll use them. We’ll mix the defense up a lot and hopefully confuse some people.” The Marcos open up play at Pecatonica on Nov. 14, followed by a trip to Paw Paw on Nov. 20 and Aquin on Nov. 28. The first home game won’t be until Nov. 30 against Orangeville. Other than the Paw Paw game and one with Oregon, the regular-season schedule is NUIC teams. Polo will host its annual holiday tournament from Dec. 1621.
Byron rallies late to beat Monticello, advances to quarterfinals By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Desperate times call for desperate measures. That’s the situation Byron found itself in with five minutes left in its 3A second-round football game with Monticello on Saturday. Trailing 21-20, the visiting Sages had a first-and-goal at the 2-yard line and it was also desperate situation that got them there. On fourth-and-14, Monticello quarterback Braden Snyder found Asher Bradd between two Tiger defenders on a pass reception. “We had it defended,” Byron coach Jeff Boyer said. “All three guys went up and their player came down with it. That was deflating.” After consulting with defensive coordinator Sean Considine, Boyer knew his team had to make something happen. “Coach Considine called a blitz and that ended up being the right call,” Boyer said. The result of that play call was middle linebacker Kevin Claunch crashing the line on second down and forcing a fumble on running back Nathan Harmon. Nolan Bielskis recovered the loose ball and Byron and its large home crowd could breath a collective sigh of relief. It was the game’s first turnover. “Once we got the ball back, I could see it in our kids’ eyes. They were not going to give it back to them,” Boyer said. “I’m proud of how we hung in

In an opposite manner of play, Monticello came out in the spread and was able to tie the game with a 37yard touchdown run, set up by a diving sideline catch by Johnny Dawson. It was the first of many athletic plays that Sages would make. Bielskis made it touchdown number 20 on the year for a 14-7 Tiger with six minutes left in the second quarter. That came after a 93-yard drive, aided both by a fourth-down conversion and 38-yard run by Messling. Monticello tied the game before halftime, as Snyder led his team down the field on the strength of his arm and feet. Harmon scored on a 1-yard run with 10 seconds left for a 14-14 deadlock.

Sports Column Playoff football still going strong By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com With domination of Fulton, Forreston’s football team continues to look like the team to beat in 1A football. Likewise, LenaWinslow absolutely whipped a much weaker opponent. Both games were over by halftime. No doubt, Fulton was a more formidable foe than Milledgeville was for LeWin. Probably better to wait
a couple of weeks before talking about the semifinal and how the two teams stack up. Le-Win caught a huge break with both favored Stockton and AnnawanWethersfield losing. That virtually guarantees the semi to be in Lena. The quarterfinals certainly don’t offer any mystery, as running clocks will be the most likely scenario at both contests. Ogle County remains 6-0 with Byron winning a thriller and Rochelle knocking off a No. 1 seed. Monticello brought an extremely athletic team to Byron and gave the Tigers all they could handle. Lesson learned from that game is
never underestimate the value of an extra point. Rochelle’s 35-16 win over unbeaten Johnsburg was not an upset. At 6-3 going into the playoffs and the largest school in 4A, the Hubs are the team nobody wants to face. The win over Johnsburg avenged an earlier 40-22 loss and Rochelle has a chance to do the same this week with Morris, who beat Rochelle 30-21. Wouldn’t it be something if the Hubs could send coach Kevin Crandall out with a trip downstate in his final year as coach? Crandall notched his 202nd career win at Johnsburg and it was one of the sweetest. Volleyball Entertaining
Maybe there’s hope for a casual volleyball fan like myself. At the 2A sectional on Wednesday at the Blackhawk Center, I attended my first-ever game that didn’t include a local team. The contest between Galena and Orion was quite entertaining, much like the Monday was. In chatting with the wife of the Galena head coach, she indicated this year’s team was supposed to be down from last year’s because of graduation losses. What stood out most about Galena and was the primary reason for winning the sectional was how well they played together. High level prep volleyball is such a precision affair and
Galena players usually were in the right spot on defense and also did a nice job of setting up their hitters. In post game comments, Oregon coach Faith McNamee has impressed upon me to importance of team play. Unlike basketball or football, where one player can dominate action, that’s not the case in volleyball. What I am slowly learning is how critical each cog is to one another on the volleyball court. It’s not quite as complicated as synchronized swimming, but you get the idea. Interestingly, Galena may have been better off in 2A than 1A, where they have been the last few years. Durand and Keith Country

Day in 1A were as tough as any local 2A school. The Galena coach said as much as indicated how teams get battle-tested in the rugged NUIC.

Rauner declares state harvest emergency Farmers can get permits to haul extra weight Ill. Gov. Bruce Rauner declared a statewide harvest emergency Nov. 5 to assist farmers and grain handlers who are grappling with the fallout of rain-related delays. “Illinois is home to 72,000 farms on 26.7 million acres. We are among the top three corn producers in the nation,” Rauner said. “Moving corn and other crops in a timely and efficient manner affects the bottom line of hard-working farmers. This declaration is an appropriate
response to an urgent need.” This means farmers may now apply for Harvest Emergency Permits to haul extra weights on non-interstate highways in Illinois. According to a press release from Rauner’s office, data obtained from the U.S. Department of Agriculture indicates the Illinois corn harvest at the end of October was 17 percentage points behind the prior year and 11 percentage points behind the five-year average. The corn harvests in the northwest, northeast and east regions are especially hard hit. Harvesters of a variety of crops made up ground to-
ward the end of October, but early delays still are causing backups in the transportation chain, the press release said. To obtain a permit farmers will need to contact the appropriate highway jurisdiction depending on whose roads they wish to operate. For state routes call the Illinois Department of Transportation at 217-785-1477. More information is available at https://truckpermits. dot.illinois.gov/. For county roads contact the Ogle County Highway Engineer Jeremy Ciesel at 815-732-2851. For township road contact the appropriate township road commissioner.
Permits must be obtained from each to travel routes through multiple jurisdictions. Local jurisdictions such as the county or township have the option to waive the requirement to obtain a written permit. Each jurisdiction also has the right to declare the length of the permit, but it cannot run past Dec. 31. The permit will allow for a maximum of 10 percent over the standard weight restriction. No fees will be charged for a Harvest Emergency Permit. Farmers work the field in rural Polo harvesting corn. Wet The permit it must be carweather has slowed the harvesting process.

America Recycles Day heightens environmental awareness America Recycles Day is Wednesday, Nov. 15. This is a day when we can all learn about and participate in recycling efforts at home, school, work, and during recreational activities. The Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department helps to provide recycling opportunities and education to residents and local businesses, and provides grants to help with recycling initiatives in Ogle County. For America Recycles Day, the OCSWMD reminds residents about ongoing recycling efforts around Ogle County. For co-mingled (mixed) recyclables (paper products, cardboard, glass bottles &
jars, aluminum and steel cans, and plastic containers No. 1-5 and No. 7) most communities in Ogle County have curbside service to make household recycling easy. Take advantage of the curbside programs and recycle as much as possible. For those who do not have curbside service, the OCSWMD provides five containers for recycling in Ogle County. These containers are in Oregon, Rochelle, Byron, Monroe Center, and Forreston. In addition, there is a container in Polo provided by Moring Disposal and a container near Davis Junction at the Orchard Hills

Flatten all cardboard boxes and crush plastic jugs and replace lids. Do not place items on the decks or in the parking lots around the bins. Doing so creates litter and jeopardizes recycling efforts in Ogle County. This program diverts around 900 tons of recyclable materials from local landfills each year. The OCSWMD also provides recycling opportunities for other
materials. Electronics recycling is an ongoing program generally held on the last Friday of the month. Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the next event will be held on Friday, Nov. 17 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 909 Pines Road in Oregon. Items include all televisions, computers and computer accessories, video game equipment, VCR and DVDs, printers, FAX machines, copiers, cell phones, laptops, tablets, stereo equipment, phone systems, CFL bulbs, printer
cartridges, CD and DVDs and more. For a full list of accepted items visit the website listed below. The OCSWMD also conducts annual recycling events for Ogle County residents. These include a summer used motor oil, antifreeze, and oil filter take back, usually held in August. The annual Christmas tree collection and mulching after Christmas, and the holiday lights collection starting Nov. 17 at local fire departments and village halls across Ogle County. The OCSWMD can also provide information and education about recycling efforts, scrap metal facilities,
household hazardous waste collections, composting and landscape waste, prescription drug take back programs, and many other waste reduction initiatives for local residents. While Nov. 15 is America Recycles Day, a variety of materials can be recycled each and every day. Doing so recovers valuable materials that would otherwise be landfilled, reduces the use of raw materials, reduces pollution and climate change causing emissions, and provides economic development and jobs. For more information visit www.oglecounty.org or call the OCSWMD at 815-7324020.

Obituaries Russell J. Statler Russell J. Statler, 78, of Polo, died on Monday, Oct. 30, 2017 at Polo Rehabilitation and Health Care Center. He was born on June 21, 1939 in Milledgeville, to Ray and Mary (Briscoe) Statler. After beginning his career working at Henry Pratt and hauling grain for Dixon Coop he realized he truly had a desire to be a farmer. Russell’s passion for farming, raising crops and livestock allowed him to grow his passion into a family enterprise with several farms in Ogle County along Penn Corner and Henry Road. His careful and diligent planning of each year’s crop, along with preparing
for planting and harvest most often resulted in good seasons. The fresh smell of tilled soil each spring made him a man of the earth with both feet firmly planted on the land and a wonderful steward of the soil.
Along with his passion for farming Russell was a true family man. While farming kept him very busy he was always ensuring he made time to attend special family events even if it was to catch a quick meal in between chores. Russell married Patricia Friel on July 2, 1960, and she preceded him in death July 7, 2016. Russell is survived by two daughters, Dina (James) Lillyman, of Franklin Grove, and Valerie Statler, of La Grange, Kentucky; one son, Greg Statler, of Polo; five grandchildren, Shantel Smith, Brittany Macchi, Zachary Howard, Victoria Ogunfowokan and Tate Statler; five great-
grandchildren, Adrionna Macchi, Kellan Smith, Gavin Smith, Jaron Smith and Jayden Ogunfowokan; and one sister, Collette Frank, of Desert Springs, California. Besides his parents and wife, he was also preceded in death by a half-brother, Sherwood

Astrograph Emotional issues will cause confusion this year where work and finances are concerned. Updating your resume and picking up additional skills will help you.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2017 SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Emotions will be difficult to control. Avoid a trap set by one of your peers. If you want to get things done, work alone. Don’t venture too far from home.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Plan a day trip or get out and shop for someone you love. You’ll find out something about someone close to you if you have lunch with an old friend.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Money problems will surface if you are extravagant or you can’t say no to someone asking for too much. Trying to buy someone’s affection will not help you gain respect or love.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Financial concerns will add to your stress and could affect your health if you aren’t careful when handling settlements, investments or joint funds. Honesty will be a step in the right direction.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You need a break. Whether you take a staycation or sign up for a class that will help ease stress, it will encourage you to relax and let life unfold naturally.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -You’ll tend to overreact, be indulgent and end up in an emotional situation you will regret. Use your smarts to avoid trouble. Exercise and proper eating and drinking habits are encouraged.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A problem will crop up if you let a sensitive issue metastasize. Do your best to contain your emotions and deal with matters professionally and without hesitation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Emotional spending, overreacting and getting involved in indulgent behavior won’t resolve matters. Do what needs to be done and move on.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone will not be happy with the way things are going at home or work. Don’t let your emotions take the reins and lead to regret. Remain calm and do your best. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Following your emotions will lead to temptation and misrepresentation. Be careful not to promise something you don’t want to actually carry out. Be frank and willing to deliver what’s expected of you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Avoid being impulsive when dealing with investments, contracts or emotional matters. Take time to figure out the best way to advance. You want to make money, not lose it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t let impulse get the better of you. When in doubt, take a step back and think about the probable outcome of your actions. Don’t let an assumption ruin a relationship. ©2017 UFS
