Rockin’ River Fest, an all ages, family friendly event will be held on Saturday, June 15 in Oregon. The event includes outdoor fun, interactive games for the young and young at heart, local food, live entertainment, competitive events, and a beer garden. The majority of the activities take place on the banks of the Rock River, on north Second Street between Franklin and Washington Streets. The “Adventure Triathlon” co-hosted with the Oregon Park District, kicks off at Oregon Park East before the event gates open. For information on the course, gear needed, and registration details visit www.rockinriverfest.net. “The ‘Game Spot’ offers fun for all ages with interactive inflatables and specialty games for preschoolers, grade school ages, and fun seeking teens and adults,” said Debbie Dickson, committee member and organizer. “A wide variety of local cuisine options and plenty of beverages will be available throughout the day. “Be sure to sign up for the ‘Toss ‘em Tourney’ a cash awards competition, and cheer on your favorite team during the ‘Tug Across the Rock’, “ Dickson said. Live music featuring “Falling Objects” a popular Chicago area

This “celebration of summer” showcases unique and engaging experiences for all ages, builds hometown pride, and is an opportunity to “give back” to the community,” Dickson said. “This is a collaborative effort and is a direct result of volunteers brainstorming, pooling their skills and resources, and contributing hundreds of volunteer hours to create a safe, fun, entertaining time for all.” Gates open at noon, with children under 12 FREE of charge, ages 13-17 are $3, and adults are $5. Entry points are at Washington and Second Streets, and at Franklin and Second Street. “Please note – proof of age is required to be served in the beer garden so be prepared to show your ID for a wristband,” Dickson said.

COUNTY NEWS
Longtime county sheriff, board member dies at 86 BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com Ogle County lost one of its most dedicated public servants Sunday with the death of longtime sheriff and county board member Jerry Brooks. Brooks, 86, served the county for 50 years, beginning as a deputy sheriff in 1963, then as sheriff from 1970 to 1990, and finally on the county board for 21 years. “Jerry Brooks meant a lot to many people in Ogle County, but everyone who knew him could honestly just call him their friend,” said Ogle County Board Chairman Kim Gouker. “Of all that we worked on together over the years, I will most remember Jerry Brooks as my friend. And, I will miss him.” The county board made Brooks an

didn’t feel well and wanted Brooks to take over for him. Warner said he had cleared it with then-sheriff Bill Spencer for Brooks to finish his shift. Before the night was over, Brooks had broken up two fights, and it wasn’t long until he was filling in regularly on Saturday nights. He took a pay cut to become a fulltime deputy a few months later. “I loved law enforcement,” Brooks said. “That’s why I took the pay cut and that’s why I ran for sheriff.” Funeral services will be held on Saturday, June 8 at 10 a.m. at Farrell-Holland-Gale Funeral Home, Oregon.

Auditions for ‘The King and I” The Performing Arts Guild invites the public to join the cast of their fall musical production, “The King and I.” Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “The King and I” is a moving, radiant story of East meets West. The musical is based on the memoirs and experiences of Anna Leonowens, a British schoolteacher hired in the 1860s by the King of Siam as part of his drive to modernize his country. The relationship between the King
and Anna is marked by conflict through much of the show, as well as by a love to which neither can admit. Some of the memorable songs in “The King and I” include, Shall We Dance, I Whistle a Happy Tune, Getting to Know You and Something Wonderful. The musical premiered on March 29, 1951. It ran for nearly three years, making it the fourth longest-running Broadway musical in history at the time, and has had many tours and revivals. Auditions will be held on Monday, June 17, Tuesday, June 18, and Wednesday, June 19 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Pinecrest Grove library, 500 Evergreen Lane, Mt. Morris. Materials will be provided for reading and vocal parts. The cast consists of vocal and non-vocal roles for children through adult, male and female. Performances will be Nov. 8, 9,10 and 15, 16, 17 at the Pinecrest Grove Theatre. For more information, contact directors Priscilla Osborne 815-734-6847 or Trudy Whalen 815-440-5300.

2018-19 sports season had plenty of highlights T
ime for the annual recap of the 2018-19 sports year. My highlight was the Forreston and Lena-Winslow semifinal football game. It had a little bit of everything - the memory of LW crushing Forreston’s 2017 title hopes, classic NUIC play, snow around the field, a tie late in the game, all-staters Isaiah Bruce, Ian Kuehl, Garett Badertscher and Mitchell Heinz, along with the pressure of a 1A state berth at stake. Dom Christensen made people forget about his older brother AJ, with some big plays, including the kickoff return to glory. After an earlier defeat to LW in the regular season, the Cardinal coaching staff took some chances with game-calling and it paid dividends the second time around. After a brutal 3-week stretch of Milledgeville, Dakota and LW, the state title game was simply a coronation for the team. What an improvement from that first half of week 1 against Pec-Durand to November. With Polo moving to 8-man football, it was fitting they advanced to the IHSA playoffs. Playing without Brady Webb and using a makeshift roster, it was remarkable they got that far. They peaked in a win over Aquin and really set a tone for the year with a comeback win over Orangeville in the heat of August. Look for Polo to be one of the top squads in 8-man in what promises to be one the most compelling stories for the upcoming year. In a historic vote among its member schools, the IHSA has decided to
COMMENTARY Andy Colbert
go to a district format in football for the 2020 year. The only things that created more of a stir in the past 50 years of Illinois prep sports were eliminating the 1-class system for boys basketball and adding interscholastic sports for females.
Volleyball, Softball, Basketball Forreston girls athletics gets the near-miss award for volleyball and softball. For several years, they’re right there, but can’t get over the hump in the post season. At the sectional volleyball, they had eventual state runner-up Galena on the ropes, but couldn’t close the deal. In volleyball, the margin is quite thing and Forreston could have just as easily been playing for a state title. For the second year in a row, the softball team was on the verge of an upset in the regional final, only to lose in the final inning after having the lead. About the only response I had to coach Kim Snider was the same one I had the year before - life doesn’t seem fair. Polo basketball got that long-awaited boys basketball regional title after seven years. Of any team on mission, getting that regional was absolutely mandatory for Marco
basketball and its three 3-year starters Justin Young, Braiden Soltow and Webb. With the area’s longest 20-win season streak at seven, it was boom or bust, especially with a dwindling talent pool. The class of the NUIC was East Dubuque, though Polo was good enough to beat River Ridge. This may be minutia, but mention needs to be made of my favorite photo of the year. Taken by Earleen Hinton, who has diligently plied her trade for thousands of games over the years, it was in the paper a couple weeks ago. Capturing Jace Coffey, Draven Wells, Badertscher and Webb enthusiastically imploring Christensen in a relay, it caught the face of sports as well as anything you will see. It was also cool to see Forreston and Polo kids cheering each other on. From the tough injury department - Polo’s Alex Dusing going down in basketball. But, she’ll be back with the rest of the young kids from Polo and it will be interesting to see how they fare against all the other young talent in the NUIC.
Four Overtimes Can’t sum up the year without mention of the 4-overtime basketball game between Forreston and Dakota. Braeden Fyock was as clutch as anyone I saw play this year. Top girls individual performance had to be what Katie Erdmann did on the volleyball court. She was the main cog for the Cardinals and every team knew that. That didn’t prevent her from nearly willing For-
reston to a longer state run. Between Fyock against Dakota, Christensen in the Le-Win game and Coffey with three throws in a row over 170 feet in the discus in the state finals, it’s too hard to pick out a top male performance. Is there a better overall athlete between Forreston and Polo than Webb with what he did in football and basketball, to go along with seven state medals in track? He gets my vote.
Next year Outlook What to look for in 2019-20? Forreston football will be up near the top of the state rankings again. They have skill in the backfield; can the line do its part? Le-Win looks to be the main hindrance, with Dakota getting better. One big change will be the divisions done geographically instead of by enrollment. The Forreston girls will be solid in volleyball, basketball and softball. The question remains - can they crack into the upper echelon of the post season? With the emergence of Jordan Neuschwander, Bennett Soltow, Cayden Shelton and Christensen, F-P track will be better than originally thought for 2020. Look for Coffey to bring back the gold in the discus. Before wrapping up for the year, let’s not forget about all the cheerleaders, pom pom and band members that give performances worthy of mention. This is more than just sports.

Our area’s dairy farmers play an important role in the health of our economy and our families. Loaded with essential nutrients like calcium, potassium, protein and phosphorus, dairy foods are both nutritious and delicious. These dairy products also have a strong economic impact on our community and our country, providing a wealth of work opportunities and revenue. During Dairy Month, we’d like to thank the men and women of our dairy industry for their hard work and commitment to quality and sustainability. We appreciate all that you bring to the table!
