Forreston State Bank getting new name BY BRIAN WEIDMAN bweidman@saukvalley.com Some bank customers in Forreston will have a new solution to their banking issues starting on Monday. The Forreston State Bank, which has served communities in northern Illinois since 1887, will merge with the Poplar Grove State Bank, founded in 1946, to form Solutions Bank. The process will begin on Friday after the close of business and will be complete on Monday. Solutions Bank will have locations in Forreston, Freeport and Kent, as well as two locations in Poplar Grove. The name was selected by High Point Services, which owns both banks. “Both Forreston State Bank and Poplar Grove State Bank have always been focused on providing the best banking experience possible,” bank President
Betsy Johnson said. “Combining these banks in one allows us to offer customers expanded products, services and staff.” Customers will not see many changes in the operation. The staff and hours of operation will remain the same. No new checks will need to be ordered, though when that time comes, they will be with the new bank name and logo. Direct deposits and automatic payment deductions will continue without interruption. The Forreston State Bank debit card will continue to work as normal. One thing bank customers will have to wait for is a new website, which is currently being constructed. The current websites of www.fsbil.com and www. poplargrovestatebank.com will have a redirect to the new website when it is ready sometime this winter.

Work begins on Iron Mike’s new spot BY JEFF HELFRICH jhelfrich@oglecountynews.com Work on the Iron Mike fountain reinstallation in downtown Oregon began this week. Martin construction was on the site near the Ogle County Courthouse on Monday excavating in the new spot inside the sidewalk. Project Manager Mike Bowers said the fountain itself likely won’t be installed until the spring. Bowers said the brick work likely won’t be done until next year. Iron Mike will be stored by the street department
over the winter. “The good thing about this is the water-sewer trench going through the freeze/thaw cycle will settle the backfill even more therefore reducing the chance of settling after the bricks are installed,” Bowers said in an email. “We will install roadrock wedges at the edges of all the sidewalks so there won’t be any drop-offs.” COVID-19 delayed work after the statue was removed over last winter to be cleaned before it can be moved further away from the road. Concerns came
when car accidents almost hit the fountain, installed in 1901. The decades-old fountain will be placed with old paving bricks. Iron Mike has three drinking levels, one for dogs, one for horses and one for people. The landscaping around it will be done by the city and county once it’s reinstalled. The fountain was cleaned, sandblasted and repainted by ED Etnyre. It currently resides in the street department garage.

COVID-19 UPDATE
15 tests for Forreston, eight done by 3 p.m. in Mt. Morris BY JEFF HELFRICH jhelfrich@oglecountynews.com Ogle County residents had a chance at a quick and easy COVID19 test on Monday in Forreston and Mt. Morris. Aunt Martha’s Health and Wellness provided mobile testing sites for two hours in each village that yielded 15 tests in Forreston and eight tests as of 3 p.m. in Mt. Morris. “I was expecting to see a little bit more people coming in,” Aunt Martha’s Health Educator Oswaldo Lopez said. “We haven’t seen as many as we wanted here. We expected quite a few people. It’s been kind of slow. I think we need to do more outreach. I think a lot of people don’t know we’re here. Only a few people know, and those people were here.” Lopez, who was administering the tests, said he came prepared with 250 tests for the day. When testing in Coal City, he said they did 70 tests at one site. This was the first time in the area for Aunt Martha’s and Lopez said testing numbers were close to other similar-sized communities they’ve

If they don’t want to test themselves, the test is administered to them. There was no appointment required like at a hospital. “This is accessible and takes a few minutes,” Lopez said. “The longest is to fill out the form. If you have insurance, we collect that. It is free for people without insurance. We want people to have access. We try to bill the insurance, if they say no,
COVID-19 UPDATE
Ogle County cases climb to 661 as of Sept. 22 BY JEFF HELFRICH jhelfrich@oglecountynews.com
The Ogle County Health Department reported 11 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday, Sept. 22 for a new total of 661. Two new cases were reported Saturday, 11 on Sunday and nine on Monday. Ages and locations of the individuals that test positive are not being released to protect their privacy. Recoveries of documented cases stand at 551, but the OCHD recently said due to switching systems, recoveries won’t be updated for two weeks. The county reported its sixth death on Sept. 15, a female in her
70s. The Illinois Department of Public Health site said Tuesday that there are 311 cases in the 61068 zip code that includes Rochelle, Creston and White Rock. Stillman Valley’s zip code, 61084, has 29 cases in it according to the IDPH site. Byron’s zip code, 61010, has 93 cases. Davis Junction (61020) has 28 cases. The zip codes that house Oregon (61061) and Mt. Morris (61054) have 54 and 41 cases, respectively. Polo’s zip code, 61064, has 33 cases in it. Leaf River (61047) has 12 cases. Forreston (61030), which was recently added to the IDPH’s reporting, has nine cases.
we cover it. In other words, yes, it’s free.” There were no symptoms required to be tested. 80 percent of cases are asymptomatic, Lopez said. Most of those that came to be tested wanted it just to make sure they don’t have it, he said. “It’s for their conscience,” Lopez said. “They want to make sure they aren’t carriers. They have a good sense of morality. That’s wonderful.” Lopez said Aunt Martha’s tests all over the state at churches, schools
and parking lots. The testing site at the Mt. Morris Sullivan’s was their first grocery store. Lopez said he enjoyed it because of the possibility of attracting shoppers that didn’t know about the testing beforehand. About 80 percent of those that came out to be tested Monday were senior citizens, Lopez said. The other 10 percent were adults and the rest were minors. Testees were asked why they wanted to be tested. If they believe they’ve been exposed, they were asked to bring people who have been around them in for testing. The testing method was PCR format, not a rapid test. The PCR format is more accurate, Lopez said. The rapid test method can have results back in 15 minutes, but has a larger margin of error, he said. “The return rate is 3-5 days,” Lopez said. “It has been sooner, even. They find out through us. It’s faster than month’s past. We had to close down for two weeks for too many tests. Our labs were so slow. Now it’s much faster.” Aunt Martha’s started as a social services organization for youth in 1972. It evolved into medical care, foster homes, substance abuse help and more for underserved, rural communities. Mobile testing will also be done in Polo on Monday, Sept. 28 from 11-1 p.m. at 212 S. Division Ave.
CRIME WATCH
Meyer double murder case continued again BY JEFF HELFRICH jhelfrich@oglecountynews.com
A Byron man accused of murdering his ex-wife and 3-year-old son did not appear in Ogle County court as scheduled on Monday due to another continuance being opted for in his case. The continuance was agreed to for Nov. 2 at 1:30 p.m. by both parties to address possible pretrial motions, Ogle County State’s Attorney Eric Morrow said. Duane Meyer was charged in October 2019 with four counts of first degree homicide, two counts of aggravated arson and one count of concealment of a homicidal death in connection with the deaths of Maggie and Amos Meyer who were killed in a fire in 2016

that was determined to be an arson. Continuances were granted last month and in March to allow both parties time to review “voluminous” cell phone records. The case was delayed early in the summer due to COVID-19. Meyer is currently being held in the Ogle County Jail on a $10 million bond.

POLO CITY COUNCIL
Project Humane proposes a plan for feral cats Group asks to assume responsibility and form TNR program BY JEFF HELFRICH jhelfrich@oglecountynews.com Controlling the city of Polo’s feral cat population may soon be the responsibility of a private group of local citizens that took issue with the city’s recent ordinance regarding the felines. Project Humane Polo made a presentation to the city council on Monday where it offered to establish a trap neuter release program, address nuisance cat situations, and work to reduce the city’s feral cat population all at its own expense. The group currently has 96 volunteers and has raised $400 in funds. “I know every year there’s been a cat issue in Polo,” Project Humane Polo Member Cheryl Galor said. “I think this is our solution. The best way to save 100, 200 or 300 cats is to start neutering one, another one and another one. We do need to address this problem and we have a good program and solution for all of the complaints that have been going on.” Project Humane Polo has partnered with nonprofit Happy Tails Humane Society in Rock Falls and plans to take the feral cats there to

Happy Tails President Mark Razo has been working with the group and attended the meeting Monday to address concerns and questions. “TNR is a way to reduce your cat population in the town,” Razo said. “TNR is a humane way to solve the problem. You will reduce the population. We are supporting that and helping them raise money for that. The city doesn’t have to fund this at all. We could also go for grants with the city’s cooperation.”
Polo’s recent feral cat ordinance included fines for those caught feeding cats they don’t own as well as limiting the number of animals residents can own. Alderman Troy Boothe asked the group if they could guarantee him that problem cats will be addressed, especially those that defecate on people’s property, which has been a main issue for the city. “It sounds promising, but it doesn’t address defecation,” Boothe said. “I need problem cats gone, period. I have a responsibility for everybody. I’m 100 percent for it
if that will happen. I don’t want to hear there are resource constraints when there is a problem.” Galor responded by saying the group would relocate those animals. “Give us a chance,” Galor said. “I know we have a program that’s going to work. These are solutions. If the cat is really a nuisance, we will relocate it.” Project Humane Polo estimates there are 500 feral cats in town, but is unsure of the accuracy of that number, which is based on a formula. Under their plan, volunteers would trap and transport the cats for treatment before releasing them back where they were found. The treated cats would also be microchipped and have their ears notched to be tracked. Nuisance cats could be released outside of town. The group plans on it being at least a three-year program. City Attorney Tom Suits raised the issue of potential liability for the city by giving the responsibility to address the issue to Project Humane Polo. “There’s absolutely potential liability,” Suits said. “If the nuisance call comes to the city and the city contacts this group to go handle it, is the city liable for something that may happen? We don’t know that.” The city did not take any action on the issue after the presentation and said it will work to have it on its next agenda, possibly for approval.

Byron station response committee established BY JEFF HELFRICH jhelfrich@oglecountynews.com A group of Ogle County organization representatives won’t be taking the Byron nuclear plant’s planned closure lying down. An announcement was made last Friday about the formation of the Byron Station Response Committee, which plans to develop a “collaborative, broad-based response” to Exelon’s announcement of its intent to close Byron Station in September 2021. Byron School District Superintendent Buster Barton, who seems to be in a leadership position with the committee, said the idea to form it came from the community after a number of people reached

Barton’s the impact of it closing is a district received just over lot larger than “one would $19.1 million taxes from the initially think.” plant last year.

LOCAL HISTORY
BY BETTY OBENDORF Curator, Polo Historical Society I received a packet of information from Mary Hofmann of Wisconsin. It is always exciting because I never know what I will find. This time it was information from the family of George Read and some of the history of Anna Parmelee. It had all been saved by Dorothy Read Graebal with instructions to send it to Polo Historical Society, Dorothy’s husband was Rev. Richard Paul Graebel who had been the pastor of the Polo Presbyterian Church in 1936. Her father was George E. Read and there was a notation that George had owned Aplington House in 1925 or 1926. I knew that George Read had his law office in Aplington House but I did not know that he owned the home at one time. We know very little about early Aplington House after the Aplington’s left it. I will now find out more about George Read. The first big “find” was an early picture of the Dr. William Burns House. It was a Christmas card from Arthur and Emma Pearson who lived in the
doctor’s house after the doctor had left it. Ruel Pearson moved into the house in 1869. There is no date on the card since it was not sent through the mail. The card shows the Burns’ house with a building hooked on to the back of it. The early Sanborn Maps showed that something had been there but we did not know what it was or when it was taken off the building. We always thought that Dr. Burns had a place for his horses and probably a buggy in those early days. The card had been sent to Anna Parmelee because the verse on the card had Anna’s name in it. Also on the back of the card was a notation about how the Pearson family would have holiday meals with the Read family “across the street.” This card had been saved by Dorothy Read Graebel. Dorothy was the one who had written the extra comments on the back of the card. She also wrote how Miss Parmelee had taught her father, George E. Read and her father’s sister, Aunt Julia Read Lawrence in those early school days in Polo. While Anna Parmelee was not relat-
The Christmas card sent to Miss Anna Parmelee by Emma and Arthur Pearson showing the Dr. William Burns House. This was an early picture showing the part that had been built on the back of the house. Do not know when it was torn off. This is the oldest picture of the Burns House in the archives of the Polo Historical Society. ed to the Read family, she was closely connected by being a teacher of Read family members. Dorothy kept quite a bit of information on the life of Anna Parmelee and I will tell you about Anna’s life later. Anna lived to be 97 and she lived just down the street from me as I grew up.
I also have been getting information on the train wreck that Jerry Brantner wanted. Jerry was the one who brought me memorabilia of his grandfather, Ralph Keckler and not Jim. I will tell you about the train wreck later. All these are interesting stories from the past.

LOCAL HISTORY
Pine Creek Township was first settled in 1846 Editor’s note: Otto Dick, Oregon has researched the people, places and events important in the Oregon area’s history for the Ogle County Historical Society. The following is one of a series of the articles he has written.
BY OTTO DICK Pine Creek Township is the typical sized township of 36 square miles located on the western border of Oregon Township. This township was first settled in 1846 by a man named Smith. His wife died shortly after he settled in Pine Rock Township giving birth to the first child born in the township. At that time about two-thirds of the township was timber and the remainder prairie. Before Smith arrived, Oregon’s founder John Phelps, built the first sawmill in Ogle County powered by the waters of Pine Creek. This sawmill furnished lumber from 1836 to 1850. Pine Creek is fed by numerous springs and runoff from the timbers and farms. It flows through the White Pines State Park southward into the Rock River at Grand Detour. At one time the only village in Pine Creek Township was Stratford. Stratford, a train town, came into existence when the Burlington & Quincy was completed between Oregon and Polo in 1893. The population of Stratford grew to 20 inhabitants. It had an elevator, grocery store, post office and a railroad depot. A train loaded with potatoes derailed at the CB&Q station at Stratford in October 1934. Seven cars were derailed and crashed through the depot while a group of laborers were in the station staying out of the rain. Many people in that area came to help clean up the free potatoes. Today Stratford is listed as an unincorporated community and is located on Lowell Park Road, just north of Pines Road. About 80 years after Phelps built the sawmill in Pine Creek Township another Oregon resident was instrumental in a 24 year struggle to purchase the 300 acres of white pines for a state park. As President of the Oregon’s Woman’s Council Rebecca Kaufman presented the Illinois General Assembly a proposal requesting purchase of 300 acres for $30,000. The Illinois General Assembly was in favor and passed a resolution asking the United States Department of Agriculture to make an examination of the forests in the state including the pines. Mr. R. S. Kellogg of the U. S. Bureau of Forestry surveyed the area and recommended the pines should be made into a state park. Finally on Sept. 16, 1927 Governor Small did not think “Ogle County was trying to have the state buy a gooseberry patch,” and he gave his assent to purchase 282.96 acres at $63,949. Jane Shoemaker wrote in her Pine Creek Recollections the following: “One of the joys of childhood is to wade barefoot in a crisp, cool bubbling creek. Water refreshing to the toes. Turtles and trout swimming around minding fish business. The Pine Creek offered all that and more to the younger members of the family. Pine Creek flows down through our farm, widening and then rushes under the arched railroad bridge that sep-

SPORTS COLUMN
“To most, he was this ferocious and fierce football player who some described as pound for pound the toughest player of his generation. To me, he was the most generous and gentle soul you would ever meet. For Larry, it was always about everyone else and what he could do for them. And especially in the times we live, that’s something that we could use more of today.”
T
hat comment was made by the widow of Larry Wilson, who passed away last week at the age of 82. He was a Hall-of-Fame football player for the St. Louis Cardinal football team from 1960-72. So what’s the big deal, you ask. Former star athletes die all the time. Well, for a 12-year kid like myself in 1970, Larry Wilson made an impact upon me like no other sports athlete. The scenario was this: At the time, the St. Louis football Cardinals, who eventually became the Arizona Cardinals, had their pre-season camp at Lake Forest. The Bears would have been the preferred team to watch practice, but they had their camp in far southwest Indiana. Thus, a couple adults and three of us kids piled into a car and headed to Lake Forest to see the pros up close and personal. It was also an opportunity to get autographs. The big name player for the Cardinals was a physically gifted halfback named Donny Ander-

son. That’s whom I sought out first in my quest for memorabilia to take back home. Upon asking, the response was “Get lost kid.” Talk about having hero worship crushed. That’s what Donny Anderson did to me and I decided it would be best to give up on autograph seeking; that is until a beat-up looking player with a No. 8 jersey came by. It was Larry Wilson. Compared to the pompous, pretty boy No. 44 Anderson, Wilson had a different look to him, one of genuine compassion. Still stinging from the Anderson rejection, I set aside my pride just enough to ask Larry Wilson for an autograph. Not only did he oblige, but also he spoke to me in an interpersonal way. This from a guy who had to be exhausted from a grueling workout and someone who had been asked innumerable times for an autograph. My faith in the human race was restored by the kind manner in which he treated me. Being an impressionable 12-year old, the interactions with him and Donny Anderson had always stayed with me.
Larry Wilson had nowhere near the physical talent as Donny Anderson, but as a human being, stood head and shoulders above him. To this day, it is rare to find a professional athlete with similar ideals. He was mentally tough enough to play one game with casts on both hands because of broken fingers. One final quote from Michael Bidwell, owner of the Cardinals: “Larry was someone who truly lived his faith and demonstrated it daily in the kindness he showed every single person he met.” What a beautiful contrast to the opinionated athlete of today who has agendas they would rather foist upon you. Give me a Larry Wilson any day over them. On another note, rallies were held in Chicago and Springfield on Saturday in hopes of getting the governor to change his mind and allow all normal fall sports. Now that Michigan reversed course, we are the only state in the Midwest with restrictions. That makes no sense, but this is coming from a man who has already devastated the livelihood of businesses all over the state. Let the parents and their children decide if it safe to play sports, not a dictator. By placing all these safeguards and limitations on our young people, it’s entirely possible that there is more harm being done to their over-

I was reading my column from two weeks ago on school discipline and it came across disparaging to the field of psychology and its practitioners. To be fair, school psychologists are a vital part of mental health and many a student has emotional problems that need to be addressed by a professional. However, I still feel it is imperative a stronger sense of discipline and accountability needs to be instilled in our youth.

COUNTY NEWS
More arrests at bar despite new noise ordinance Owner was arrested multiple times during the weekend BY JEFF HELFRICH jhelfrich@oglecountynews.com Despite Ogle County’s efforts to create a new noise ordinance in response to complaints about a bar just north of Oregon, arrests continued over the weekend. Sledgehammer’s owner, Jason Stombaugh, was arrested multiple times over the weekend for disorderly conduct stemming from noise complaints from area residents who chose to press charges. The county’s new noise ordinance, which has yet to be signed, only takes effect after 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and after 8 p.m. on Sunday. Stombaugh has been arrested seven times. Twelve total arrests have been made of bar employees due to noise complaints. Stombaugh says none of them have come after 9 p.m. Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle says the arrests will continue regardless of time if there are com-
plaints and residents are willing to press charges. The amount of time spent responding to calls at the bar has started to mount, he said. “We’ve spent a good deal of time and energy on this,” VanVickle said. “I feel for the residents. There’s been over 150 calls. We’ve spent more time at Sledgehammer’s than in villages we have to patrol. It leaves the rest of the county exposed. We want everybody’s rights protected.” Stombaugh said he was arrested by four deputies at once during one of the incidents over the weekend and called it “aggressive.” “They left with the band still playing,” Stombaugh said. “They don’t tell them to stop. It seems like more of a personal attack on us.” Court dates stemming from the arrests will begin Wednesday, Sept. 23 for Stombaugh and bar managers Melissa Wall and Justin Coltrain. “The impact will be decided in court,” Wall said. “The immediate impact is loss of revenue and defamation of our character. It’s a constant battle to keep people in.” Stombaugh and Wall say they have lost $60,000 in business due to the arrests and have spent an “astronomical” amount of time dealing with lawyers and communicating with the county regarding the issue.

Sledgehammer’s is located on Illinois 2 just north of Oregon. Stombaugh and Wall believe the noise ordinance falls short of resolving the issue. “Why did the county board waste everyone’s time? They did nothing about it,” Wall said.
Sledgehammer’s plans to continue to have outdoor bands, weather permitting. They say the bands end at 5 p.m. on Sundays and at 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
SPECIAL EVENT
Perfect weather brings visitors to Back Roads Market BY EARLEEN HINTON ehinton@oglecountynews.com
Earleen Hinton/Shaw Media
Raelynn Gregg, 6, of Hampshire, made sure she kept her apple away from her pup, Teddy, while visiting BerryView Orchard on Sept. 19.
Mother Nature smiled on the Back Roads Market Saturday paving the way for hundreds of visitors to pick apples and berries, search for antiques, or just shop under sunny skies while social distancing. Four businesses on the back roads near Mt. Morris—BerryView Orchard, Vintage Chicks and Feed, Funky Junk and Curb Finds, and Hough’s Maple Lane Farm— welcomed a steady stream of visitors during the day-long event. “We were glad to get out today,” said a masked Dana Winterton of Rockford as she picked aronia berries at BerryView Orchard. “I think everybody had the same idea.” The store at the orchard had only two bags of pre-picked apples by mid-afternoon with a long line of customers patiently waiting for apple cider donuts as they were made in the food truck just outside the store.
In the orchard, the Gregg family from Hampshire was busy picking apples. Sixyear-old Raelynn chomped on one of the Cortland apples she had just picked. “It’s very sweet,” she said. “I never had a Cortland before.” The family’s pup, Teddy, was ambitiously eyeing the apple as he sat next to Raelynn. “No, no,” said Raelynn. At Vintage Chicks and Feeds, on Illinois 72 east Leaf River, around 20 vendors offered local honey, soaps, antiques, vintage wares, and collectibles while at Funky Junk and Curb Finds, 6410 West Grove Road, Mt. Morris, refurbished furniture, vintage Christmas items, furniture, and just plain fun stuff greeted shoppers. “You should have been here earlier,” said Doreen White of Mt. Morris. “The whole yard was filled with stuff.” Lynette Hough of Hough’s Maple Lane Farms, 3788 North Mt. Morris Road, Mt. Morris, was busy replenishing maple delicacies throughout the day. “It’s been very busy,” she said.

SPORTS
Oregon’s Dietrich finishes fifth at Wessels Invite BY BRIAN WEIDMAN bweidman@saukvalley.com Jarrett Dietrich needed a little more cooperation from his putter, but he still came away happy with his round at the Salley Wessels Invitational on Sept. 19. The Oregon golfer carded a 16-over-par 88 to place fifth in the event held at Sunset Golf Course in Mt. Morris. Dietrich had plenty of birdie chances, but was unable to convert any. “The break was a little more than I expected on some of them,” Dietrich said. “Others, I just had to put more power into it and left them short. I do feel good about my round. This course is really hard to play. The ground is hard sometimes. The rough is long. I feel good about this.” The Hawks had a 417 total to place fifth in a nine-team field. Rounding out the Oregon lineup were Isaac Kaltenbrun (106), Jackson Werren (108), Isaac Reber (115), Miley Smith (120) and Brady Davis (130). Dixon was seventh as a team with a 438. Competing for the Dukes were Steve Kitzman (104), Grant Jacobs
(110), Mason Wiegle (111), Sage Magnafici (113) and Trey Scheidegger (129). Forreston was eighth with a 453. The Cardinals’ lineup consisted of Joel Ludwig (102), Joe Snyder (107), Logan Dyson (120), Kaeden Ganz (124), Hayden Stralow (128) and Peyton Crase (160). Polo had three players, Clay Davis (110), Cody Buskohl (115) and Nathaniel Yingling (133). Stillman Valley (360) edged Rockford Christian (364) to win the team title, with Byron (367) taking third. “It was a tough day on the course,” Stillman Valley coach Ryan Dessing said. “You didn’t see a whole lot of kids saying they were playing great today. Our kids stuck in there, which a lot of times is a tough thing to do when you feel like you’re not playing good. It’s easy to give up on the round. They all kept grinding. The medalist was Stillman Valley’s Alex Lovgren, who carded a 12-over-par 84. Byron’s Mason Brandt was second with an 86, while Stillman’s Tim Marcum and Byron’s Eric Detig had 87. Dietrich, with 88,

Lovgren played football through his junior high years, then made the switch to golf as a freshman at Stillman Valley. “I guess the flame just burnt out,” Lovgren said of giving up football, “and I started playing golf. I wasn’t too good my first time out. I shot a 58, which I wasn’t too mad about since it was my first time. Then I spent 6 hours every day at the golf course that summer, got better my sophomore year, and since then, I’ve kept practicing and gotten better and better.” Lovgren plans to keep his nose to the grindstone the rest of this season, then hit it hard again next spring and summer to see how good he can get. “I’ve always wanted to get a scholarship in something,” Lovgren said. “I’m kind of good at this, so let’s see if I can get one in golf.”
