1,000 turn out for Rebuild Grubsteakers Restaurant was destroyed by the April 9 tornado By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com Hundreds of people turned out May 30 to help an Ogle County restaurant owner get back in business. The crowd was estimated at 1,000 at a fundraiser to assist Ava Mirtoska, owner of Grubsteakers, rebuild her restaurant. The all-day event, held at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Lindenwood, and put on by Mirtoska’s employees and friends, raised approximately $20,000. “It was amazing,” Mirtoska said. Grubsteakers owner Ava Mirtoska, right, and waitress Margaret Cortesi, transition from breakfast to lunch “All the customers for years were during the Rebuild Grubsteakers benefit held on May 30.

that we could bury him with military honors and with a priest. He didn’t get that before.” The case began on June 24, 1948 when Reed failed to return home after a date. She and Skridla, her companion on the night she disappeared, were subsequently found shot to death. Skridla’s body was discovered the next morning on County Farm Road south of Oregon. He had been shot five times, according to police reports at the time. Reed’s badly decomposed body was found four days later in a ditch along Devil’s Backbone Road west of Oregon. She had been shot once in the head. The double murder has never been solved, although a new investigation of the case by the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department in 2005 pointed to possible culprits. That investigation concluded that the murders were probably committed by two brothers in a
Double homicide is still unsolved after 67 years
Two 32-caliber slugs and the possible remnants of a third were also retrieved from the casket, Arians said. Winnebago County Coroner Sue Fiduccia said only skeletal remains were left of Skridla’s body. “We had only skeletal remains because he had been down so long. There was no tissue,” she said. “The forensic anthropologists determined that they were the remains of one male individual between the ages of 28 and 31.” She said two slugs were found in the casket. Fiduccia said that because of the Skridla family’s concern that his body was burned with acid, scrapings were taken from the skull. She said the scrapings will be analyzed to determine the presence of acid or an accelerant, such as gasoline. She did not know when those results would be available. Stanley Skridla, a U.S. Navy veteran, was reburied after the autopsy. His nephew said he is glad they did took those steps. “I was pleased they could find 99.9 percent of his remains,” Stephan Skridla said. “I’m pleased
Work to begin on Black Hawk While nothing has been happening onsite to repair the Black Hawk Statue, preparation work for the project has been going on behind the scenes. Project conservator Dr. Andrzej Dajnowski, from Conservation of Sculpture & Objects Studio, Forest Park, said Tuesday that he and his crew have been testing various repair mixtures to make sure the blend to fill the cracks will match the statue. “We’re working on it all the time,” he said. “We’re testing the injection material. That’s very important.” The statue remains covered with its protective winter wrap of green plastic mesh over a framework of scaffolding, but that will all be changing in the very near future, Dajnowski said. “We’ll be out there finishing the scaffolding next week,” he said. “What’s up there now was just to protect it for the winter. Now we have to finish it for working on it.” Portions of the 104-year-old iconic statue are crumbling and falling off due to the effects of time and weather. Dajnowski is part of a team of experts who put together a plan to repair the 50-foot concrete statue that overlooks the Rock River at Lowden State Park. Designed by Chicago sculptor Lorado Taft in 1910 and dedicated in 1911 as a tribute to Native Americans, Black Hawk was named to the state’s list of Most Endangered Historic Places on April 22 by Landmarks Illinois. The work was expected to begin nearly a year ago but was delayed while Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) officials reviewed and approved contracts. The contracts were finally signed in late April. Most of the money for the $825,000 project has been raised by the Friends of the Black Hawk Statue, an organization headed up by Frank and Cherron Rausa, Sterling. A large portion of the funds came from a $350,000 grant the IDNR
Exhumation yields few new clues The exhumation of a Rockford man murdered in 1948 has yielded little new information about Ogle County’s oldest cold case. However, the man’s nephew, Stephan Skridla, 62, Rockford, said May 29 that he is hopeful the findings may lead to solving the decades-old double homicide of his uncle Stanley Skridla, then 28, and his date, Mary Jane Reed, then 17, on a lover’s lane just outside of Oregon. “I’m very hopeful,” Skidla said at an afternoon press conference in Oregon. “I think Ogle County investigators are going to work with us. Let’s put almost 70 years to rest. My uncle was shot in the groin and burned with acid. That’s a statement. Someone definitely wanted him dead and [wanted to say] don’t mess with us.” “We’re certainly closer than we’ve ever been before,” said Michael Arians, the now retired owner of an Oregon restaurant, and former Oregon mayor, who has tried to help solve the murder for several years. Arians obtained a court order from Winnebago County Judge Eugene G. Doherty last November to have Skridla’s remains exhumed from Calvary Cemetery, just west of Rockford, in his ongoing personal quest to solve the two murders. During the press conference, held at The Roadhouse, Arians said Skridla’s coffin did not contain Reed’s skull as he suggested it might last November. During an autopsy conducted right after the exhumation on May 28, Arians said forensic anthropologists determined that the coffin contained all of and only Skridla’s remains. “The body was the same throughout,” he said.

Second exhumation yields few clues From A1 robbery gone bad. Witnesses at the time said Skridla had a large amount of cash that night. Reed’s body was exhumed in August of 2005 after Ogle County Judge Stephen Pemberton granted a petition filed by Arians and Reed’s brother,
Warren, Rock Falls. The body was exhumed from its grave in Daysville Cemetery, southeast of Oregon, for a post mortem examination and forensic testing. The body was interred later the same day, except for the skull, several vertebrae, and a femur, which were held for several
months for further testing. Pemberton later ordered those remains returned to Warren Reed, Mary Jane’s closest surviving relative, to be reburied. Arians, citing previous examinations by a forensic anthropologist, claims the skull and at least one of the vertebrae are not Mary Jane’s.

He said May 29 that he has also uncovered new evidence in case, including the two guns he believes were used to kill Reed and Skridla. He hopes the slugs recovered from Skridla’s coffin can be matched to the guns, which he said have been passed down to new owners over the generations from the killers. While Arians declined to reveal who the current gun owners are but said he gave that information to Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle and Ogle County State’s Attorney Eric Morrow when he met with them recently. VanVickle said Friday that known forensics indicate the guns are not the weapons used in the killings. “Nonetheless, we are going to look into it to exclude them,� he said. VanVickle said he believes all the people involved in the murders are dead, but will continue the ongoing investigation. “We’ll do our due diligence and send the information collected yesterday [May 28] off to the state crime lab and continue to investigate,� he said. “There’s enough doubt about [the original investigation] that it warrants us taking a look at it.�

Mt. Morris firefighters push a newly purchased firetruck into the fire house recently in a “housing,” a tradition in the fire service dating back to hand-drawn apparatus. The equipment is blessed by the department chaplain and then pushed into the firehouse to officially place it in service.

Pine Creek News By Karen Merlak After a week of gray and rainy days, it was nice to feel the warmth of the sun. More and more flowers are blooming bringing beauty to this spring season. In all of nature, we can see the wonder of God’s work. We give thanks to our amazing Creator. This morning in church, we were greeted by Phil and Deb Ohlwine and their daughter, Anna. Today, we honored our graduates. Anna graduated from college and Kelsey Horton and Theresa Hopkins graduated from eighth grade. After the church service, we had our annual dinner out with our church family at Timber Creek in Dixon.

With almost thirty of us in attendance, we shared wonderful fellowship during our delicious meal. We were also able to visit with our honored graduates. On Memorial Day, I attended the Polo parade. My nephews, Hayden and Garrett Bittinger, both marched with the band. Luckily the rain held off until after the ceremony at Fairmount Cemetery. No matter the weather, there is always a big gathering for this day of remembrance. Last weekend, Sandra Ford traveled to Bloomington to spend time with her daughter, Crystal Patterson, her husband, Jack, and their children Kaitlyn, Hannah, and Samuel. On Saturday night, the family attended Hannah’s graduation from Normal Community High School held at the U.S. Cellular Coliseum. Sandra’s daughter, Kim
Austin, her husband, Ron, and their children, Luke, Claire, and Leah, traveled from Wheaton to celebrate the graduation on Sunday. Sandra’s family also celebrated Kaitlyn’s birthday on Saturday night. It was a busy weekend but filled with lots of family time. Don and Vicki Hay have just returned from a trip to Tennessee to see their son, Mack, his wife, Shae, and their children, Reef and Ellis. Don and Vicki were there to help Mack’s family prepare for their move to Delaware by watching the twins. On Memorial Day, they enjoyed a cookout with friends of Mack and Shae’s.

unofficial start of the summer season. Don and Vicki really enjoyed getting to spend time with their grandchildren. This past Friday night, Clint and I joined my brother, Ben Bittinger, and his wife, Jo for the promotion of the eighth grade class from Aplington Middle School. Garrett played with the band for the evening’s activities. This afternoon, Hayden’s family held a party in his honor attended by many family members and friends. Also attending the Aplington Middle School promotion from Pine Creek were Lyle and Sheryl Hopkins and Phil and Deb Ohlwine. They were there to see their grandson and nephew, Lane Hopkins, son of John
and Susan Hopkins. In Dixon, on the same evening, Kelsey Horton was promoted from eighth grade at Reagan Middle School. Her family was in attendance to help her celebrate. On Friday the week prior, Jim and Nancy Hopkins attended the eighth grade promotion of their granddaughter, Abigail Hopkins, from DLR Junior High. Abigail is the daughter of Jim and Dana Hopkins. We congratulate all of these fine young people and wish them luck as they get ready to move on to high school. Over the weekend, I also attended a graduation party for Dalton Blatter, son of my cousin, Melissa and Carl Mitchell. Dalton had a great senior
year as part of the state championship football team Forreston Cardinals. Graduation is a time of reflection, as well as, looking to the future. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we have a sort of graduation. We can look back and see how far we have come, but more importantly, we look forward to a life where we walk in faith. We let God lead us in our future knowing that He has fully forgiven us for our past. There is no greater feeling than to know God’s love. I hope to see you next week in our church in the country where we gather each week to worship, praise His name, and to fellowship with our church family. There is room in our family for you.

Crazy for Patsy will perform June 5 at the Mt. Morris band shell. Pictured left to right are: Dave Kolars, Roger Hintzsche, Victor Bastidas, Jill Sanderson, and Fareed Haque. Photo supplied
Mt. Morris concerts are set to begin this Friday The 2015 free concert series at the Mt. Morris band shell begins Friday, June 5 at 7 p.m. with a twohour concert by DeKalbbased band Crazy for Patsy, featuring Jill Sanderson with special guest Fareed Haque on guitar. Sanderson has been performing in the northern Illinois area for the past 20 years. She has appeared in many musical productions. Currently she enjoys both her roles as librarian by day and lounge singer by night in the DeKalb area. Haque is a modern guitar virtuoso. Steeped in classical and jazz traditions, his command of the guitar and different musical styles inspire his musical ventures with tradition and
innovation. Lap steel guitarist Dave Kolars has been playing music all his life. Kolars moved here in 1967, played guitar as a solo artist (blues, ragtime, jug band, folk) and also in various bluegrass bands over the years. He founded the Northern Illinois Bluegrass Association in 1995. He also builds ukuleles, repairs and sells “old” guitars and collects Slingerland and May Bell stringed instruments. Bassist Roger Hintzsche is a life-long resident of the DeKalb area except for six years in southern Iowa pursuing a music education degree and teaching instrumental music. He enjoys “sitting in” and
playing with any musicians whenever the opportunity arises. Drummer Victor Bastidas studied at Javeriana University Drums and Composition, and he attended The Drummers Collective in New York. Currently he lives in Chicago where he was awarded with a teaching assistant position and full scholarship for the masters in jazz performance program. All concerts begin at 7 p.m., but be sure to come early as concessions are served from 6 p.m. on and good seats will fill fast. The Pinecrest Employee Committee will be serving a full potato bar along with Dick Schmidt’s famous Kettle Korn.

The 2015 Rugged River 4-Mile trail race will be held at Lowden State Park, Oregon on Sunday, July 5 at 8 a.m., This race is the successor to the Rugged River 5K trail race which had been held during the OregonTrail Days Festival for the last five years. The four-mile trail race will give runners the chance to experience a challenging and exhilarating course which highlights the beauty of Lowden State Park. The race will begin right outside the dining hall of Northern Illinois University’s Lorado Taft Field Campus, cover the major trails in both the western and eastern parts
of the park, and end back at the dining hall. All runners will enjoy a complimentary breakfast buffet which will include the cinnamon rolls that Lorado Taft’s dining hall is famous for. Breakfast fee for nonrunners is $10 per person, payable at the door. Parking will be available within the state park, but plan accordingly. Participation is capped at 200 runners. Volunteers will be needed to assist on race day, and each volunteer will receive a complimentary breakfast in appreciation for their time and efforts. Anyone who ran the
Rugged River 5K trail race in prior years will attest to both the memorable beauty of Lowden State Park and the satisfaction they felt when they finished the trail race. Being fast won’t be the only consideration, though. Handicapped results will be available in addition to net running time. For more information contact event director John Karavitis, at johnvkaravitis@ gmail.com,or visit https:// www.facebook.com/ RuggedRiver4Mtrailrace for information and maps of the course.

Vietnam veteran to discuss deployment Tom Pozdol, a Vietnam combat veteran, will be at Rock River Center on Monday, June 15 from 12 to 1:30 p.m. Pozdol is the award-winning author of “Tam Ky: the Battle for Nui Yon Hill”. Tam Ky is a short story
about the men of Company 3/21 Infantry during their grueling two-day battle against elements of the Second North Vietnamese Army Division as they fought for control of a hill called Nui Yon. The author himself was one of the casualties on the second
day of the battle. In his presentation, Pozdol utilizes original photos, maps and videos to introduce listeners to the men he served with in the Third Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment of the 196th Light Infantry Brigade. Combat training for the

Board members differ on property tax abatement By Vinde Wells Editor A request for a property tax abatement has sparked disagreement among Ogle County Board members. Although, the board gave almost unanimous approval May 19 to the request of “Project Green” for three years of reduced property taxes, board members differed over an amendment that allowed the them to revisit the measure if the project does not go forward on schedule. Board chairman Kim Gouker presented the request from the Greater Rochelle Economic Development Corporation (GREDCO) for a business known only as “Project Green,” asking for a three-year abatement of the county’s portion of real estate taxes. The request asks for 90 percent of the tax bill to be abated the first year, 75 percent the second year, and 60 percent the third year. The abatement applies only new physical improvements on the property, located
in Prologis Park Unit 2 in Rochelle, and according to the agreement cannot exceed a total aggregate amount of $4 million. The project is expected to bring 20-22 new jobs paying $30,000 to $120,000 annually. Board member Marcia Heuer, Oregon, asked that the motion to approve the request be amended to stipulate that if the firm does not fulfill its obligations of the agreement to complete construction within five years, the county board can reconsider the tax abatement. “$4 million is a lot of money,” she said. Board member Bill Welty, Chana, objected. He said he does not remember that stipulation being placed on other companies seeking abatements in the four years he’s been on the board. He questioned the fairness of taking that step. Heuer said the board has done so over the years with other companies. Board member Skip Kenney, Rochelle, said he it has not been done for several

Guest Column Police Memorial Week observed week of May 11 By Brian VanVickle Ogle County Sheriff
The month of May is a special month for law enforcement; Police Memorial Week began on May 11. This week is set aside to remember those in law enforcement who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect those they served. This year the Ogle County Sheriff’s Office participated in the actives after being absent for several years. Our participation this year included a vehicle display and educational booth at Cherryvale Mall. We staffed the booth with volunteers who provided 911 and motorcycle educational materials, but most importantly we had positive interaction with the public. Several thousand dollars were raised during the week and the proceeds went to the Northern Illinois Multi Jurisdictional Honor Guard.
Line of duty deaths are continuing at a staggering pace, and in the month of May alone 13 law enforcement members were killed. In 2014, 131 law enforcement members were killed, and we are on pace to meet last year’s deaths. This is a problem! The national media has skewed the perception of law enforcement, and this adds to the difficulties of safely policing. The Ogle County Sheriff’s Office works very hard to ensure every member of the community is safe and a person’s race, sex, or religion is not important. What is important is everyone’s safety and this
includes law enforcement, fire and EMS. Law enforcement is a very specialized business with objectives not found in any other field. In some situations we appear distant or even harsh but remember our concern is the safety of you and the law enforcement members. The President issued an order last week banning some items from the 1033 program. While we do not have any of the “banned” items, the Ogle County Sheriff’s Office has benefitted from the procurements of this program. Much of the equipment we received is necessary for safety of the public and our deputies.

OREGON, IL 815-732-9101 FEATURING:
I have had some residents ask why we need this equipment when it was intended for war and the answer is simple, “The men and women of this office should be provided every opportunity to go home at the end of their shift and it is my responsibility to make sure they have the tools to do just that.” We have been very fortunate in this county to have a strong tax base but I believe we need to be conservative in our spending of your tax dollars. The 1033 program takes excess federal government property, already purchased with our tax dollars, and
repurposes that equipment. Is it intended for the military? Yes, but it serves a purpose locally, keeping the public and deputies safe while not spending any additional money. I hope the next time you see a member of law enforcement you will remember just how difficult the job is and put yourself in their shoes.

African children’s choir to sing at Oregon church The Watoto Children’s Choir traveling from Africa will present a brand new choir production titled “Oh What Love,” at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Oregon, on Saturday, June 27, at 5 p.m. The tour began in Alabama on January 16 and will tour for six months visiting several states throughout the east central region of the U.S. concluding in Chicago. Through this worship experience, the members of the Watoto Children’s Choir, who were once orphans, share their journeys to redemption and demonstrate that God desires to be a loving father to all mankind. All performances are free and open to the public. Since 1994, Watoto Children’s Choirs have traveled all over the world sharing the plight of Africa’s orphaned children.
Each child in the choir has suffered the loss of one or both of their parents but they have been rescued and now live in a Watoto village. Watoto is a holistic childcare solution initiated to serve the dire needs of Africa and her people. Almost 20 local Ugandan songwriters have contributed to crafting songs that share the stories of the orphan child and God’s love through worship. In 1994, Watoto Church founded Watoto Child Care Ministry, Inc., an international holistic care program that was initiated as a response to the overwhelming number of orphaned and vulnerable children and women in Uganda. It is positioned to rescue an individual, raise each one as a leader in their chosen sphere of life so that they in
turn will rebuild their nation. The model involves physical care, medical intervention including HIV/ AIDS treatment, education - formal and vocational, counseling and emotional well-being as well as moral and spiritual discipleship. Since 1994, the Watoto Children’s Choirs have toured the world annually as advocates for the 18 million African children currently orphaned by AIDS. ‘Concerts of Hope’ are held in churches, community halls, schools and other venues globally. The choirs have performed before Presidents and royalty in the White House, Buckingham Palace and many other national parliaments. The choir also performed at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Pageant in the UK.

RRC has many worthwhile programs
Dear Editor, The Rock River Center has so many worthwhile programs for free. It is a shame not to attend and keep up to date and sharp on such matters, such as the Civil War and its northern Illinois connection. An excellent lecture with uniforms, military weapons was given by Terry Dyer of Rockford on April 13. Daily activities are planned from quilting to Insurance and Medicare to Money Smart week and beginner’s Line Dance classes. I must mention that on Monday, May 25 at the VFW a Memorial Day Ceremony was held, and no parade due to rain. It was very crowded and the young Webelos and Boy Scouts brought chairs for everyone, the Oregon High School Band did a great job with the patriotic songs and anthem. Chaplain John [Tuttle] very aptly paid tribute to all veterans who made the supreme sacrifice and read the names of 22 Vietnam veterans and four Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who made the most recent military sacrifices. He also covered the
intricate details of the soldiers who stand guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier which details I was not at all familiar with. The pot luck following was plentiful, lovely salads, ham sandwiches and cookies, German chocolate cake, red, white, and blue cupcakes and a lovely large flag decorated cake. I could not begin to name all the people who did so much for this occasion but

Contract for ambulance is extended By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com
Mike Faivre and Bill Burkardt, both of Polo, stand beside the Burkardt’s LP Gas pink truck, which delivered more than 800,000 gallons of fuel in the last year. The company donated a cent for every gallon delivered — $8,106.13 — to cancer research. Photo supplied
Local business joins fight against cancer A local business has joined in the efforts to fund a cure for cancer. Besides making a donation, Burkardt’s LP Gas, Polo, now has a pink truck. The team at Burkardt’s LP Gas, a locally owned family business that has been delivering propane for 33 years, understands the need for cancer research and set out on a mission to be a part of the movement to fund a cure. “I attended a football game where cancer survivors were asked to stand and be recognized,” said Mike Faivre, general manager at Burkardt’s. “I was shocked by the number of people that stood and the impact that
cancer has on so many lives. “That moment inspired me to join the fight and the result is Burkardt’s pink truck. We are thankful for the opportunity to make a difference and support the American Cancer Society in their efforts to find a cure.” In 2014 Mike suggested to owners Bill and Bev Burkardt that they paint one of their new propane trucks pink and donate one cent for every gallon of fuel delivered by that truck to cancer research. In just one year this pink truck delivered more than 800,000 gallons of propane raising $8,106.13 in the fight against cancer. At a check presentation on
May 8 the Burkardts, along with Faivre and his wife Paula, presented a check to staff and volunteers of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Carroll, Lee and Ogle Counties. The donation will help fund cancer research and a variety of programs and services offered by the American Cancer Society including free wigs, rides to doctor appointments, lodging, and much more. Relay For Life gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to Celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease.

Oregon Fire District officials met with ATS Ambulance Service leaders last week to iron out the details of an extended contract. The fire district’s attorney, Brian O’Connor, Elburn, advised the fire board May 29 that extending the contract with ATS for another year would be the best option while fire officials get their own ambulance service up and running. The board had considered seeking bids for an ambulance service for the coming year. However, O’Connor said the bid process for that service would take at least six months. Instead, he recommended amending the present contract with ATS to extend it for an additional year to give the board adequate time to seek bids. The fire board hired ATS, based in Loves Park, last July 1 after the Oregon Ambulance Service, a notfor-profit private corporation, unexpectedly closed its doors June 17, 2014 for financial reasons, leaving Oregon area residents without an ambulance service. Calls for the last two weeks of June of 2014 were answered by ambulances from neighboring fire districts. Voters approved a tax referendum in April to establish funding for the fire district to establish a
tax-supported ambulance service.Tax money from the referendum will not come in until next year. The contract with ATS expired April 30, but was originally extended to June 30. A second extension means the contract will expire April 30, 2016. During that time, ATS personnel will man the fire district’s ambulance whenever possible. If the ambulance is out of service, ATS Chief Financial Officer Brad Bull said ATS can provide one. The fire district’s ambulance was donated by Oregon Ambulance Service managers Jim and Betty Ferris after they closed their business. The fire district had it repaired, licensed, and outfitted for service. According to the terms of the extended contract, the fire district will pay ATS $22,848 per month for its services. Bull said that amount may change when the contract is finalized. Under the interim contract with ATS that ran from last July through April of this year, the fire district paid $6,000 per month and agreed to pay for any shortfall ATS incurred after they received payment from patients transported in the ambulance. The shortfall amounted to about $15,000 per month for the 10-month interim agreement. ATS has provided ambulances and personnel for the round-the-clock ambulance service.

Setbacks could be a hurdle From A1 she said. Illinois Department of Transportation rules won’t allow it to be as close to the two state highways as the old building was. Meeting those standards may put the new structure too close to the septic field. “As far as I have to go back, it’s running into the septic,” Mirtoska said. She hopes to avoid having to move the septic field because of the expense involved. The insurance she carried on the property will help pay some of the cost of rebuilding Amy Tofa and Kenneth Brown, both of Rochelle, look but is not going to cover all over some of the silent auction items at the Rebuild Grubsteakers benefit on May 30.

Wilson brings home medal from state track meet Eighth place finish for junior in 300 hurdles By Andy Colbert Reporter Though he wasn’t happy with the outcome, Konner Wilson of Oregon left the campus of Eastern Illinois University with a state medal draped around his neck. In the IHSA 1A state track and field finals at Charleston on May 30, Wilson placed eighth in the 300-meter hurdles and was Oregon’s lone finalist. His time of 41.77 was well off the sub 40s puts up by the top four finishers. Running in lane 8, Wilson got off to a fast start, but had trouble keeping up with the leaders, including Josh Kirby of Peoria Christian, who won in a time of 38.71. “I’ve never started in lane 8 before,” Wilson said. “Once, they started passing me, my brain left me. I wasn’t mentally ready for the challenge.” Wilson, a junior, also had to wait out a 2-hour weather delay that had begun after the 110 high hurdles. By the time the gun went off for the 300 hurdles, though, the weather cleared and thousands of fans at O’Brien Field reassembled in the stadium. “I came around the curve and saw and heard the big crowd,” Wilson said.
“That affected me. This is a different experience.” As a first-timer at Charleston, Wilson walked around the stadium with veteran coach Jim Spratt prior to the race, trying to accustom himself to the big stage he was about to compete in. “When I first walked over with him, you could tell it was intimidating to him,” Spratt said. “His eighthplace medal in nothing to be ashamed of. It’s a good building block for the future. I’m proud of him.” Wilson, a team leader all season on the track, proved his mettle in Thursday’s preliminaries with an impressive performance In the third heat, Wilson qualified for the finals with a third-place finish behind Kirby (39.80) and Clayton Strader (39.93) of Arcola. Running his best race of the year, Wilson (40.26) was one of four from his heat to advance. “I went from (personal best) 40.9 to 40.2,” Wilson said. “Coach Spratt was right. Being at state does change everything.” Wilson time was fourth best of the nine qualifiers. AJ Christensen of PoloForreston also ran in the same heat, but missed the finals with a fifth-place. “I got out a little fast and wasted some energy, hitting hurdles six and seven,” Wilson said. “Otherwise, I’m happy to make the finals.” Another highlight of the prelims was a second place

for Oregon in its heat of the 1,600 relay, and 11th overall. Carson Buck, Mitchell Nehrkorn, Caleb Mennen and Andrew Newman ran 3:30.03, which was only two places out of advancing to Saturday’s finals. “That was the best run of the year for us. Everyone gave it their best shot,” Spratt said. “In the sprint relays, to qualify for the finals, you had to run super. What nice about it is all four of them return next year.” In a cruel twist of fate, Eureka, with one of the top runners in 1A in Brett Charlton, edged Tremont for the final spot, 3:28.01 to 3:28.02. In the 800 relay, Wilson, Buck, Nehrkorn and Skylar Short finished sixth in their heat with a time of 1:32.46. Newman took the final spot at 1:31.19. A positive was the Hawks beating Pec-Durand and Le-Win on time. Those two teams had tied with Oregon at the sectional (1:33.70) for second place in a dead heat. “As young as we are, it was a real nice year on the track,” Spratt said. “We have a good foundation and I’m excited about the future, especially in the relays, hurdles and Kole Mowry releases the shot during the prelims at the throws.” boys state track meet in Charleson on May 28.

competed in the shot put and had the 16th best effort in the preliminaries at 46-10.25. He needed over 50 feet to be one of the top 12 moving on. “It’s a good opportunity for a sophomore to see what he needs to do next year,” Hawk throwing coach Doug Engle said. “He will leave
here knowing what it takes to compete.” Polo-Forreston advanced three relays, along with Brad Cavanaugh in the high jump and Nathan Stukenberg in the 400. Byron had Ross Sealby move on in the shot put, Danny Falconer in the high
hurdles, Austin McCarey in the 800 and its 3,200 relay team. The only other qualifier out of the sectional was Austin Sikora of Rockford Lutheran, who edged Brady Rude of Newman, 11.2911.30 for the final spot in the 100 meters.
Lions break through in fifth to ground Cards 6-3 R-Christian advances to the super-sectional By Patrick Mason Sauk Valley Media Rockford Christian’s David Prisby took his fifthinning at-bat a little further off the plate than normal. He was thinking about his previous at-bat, which ended with him taking a ball off the face. Prisby was hit on his left cheek with a pitch from Forreston-Polo starter Nathan Schneiderman in the fourth inning, but stayed in the game and delivered a key hit. “I’ve never been hit like that before,” the Royal Lions centerfielder said. “I was a little scared up there, kept thinking about an inside pitch again, but I knew I had to overcome that for my teammates.” Prisby’s two-run single with the bases loaded in
the fifth sparked the Royal Lions to a 6-3 win over the Cardinals in the 2A Byron Sectional championship game on Monday. Rockford Christian advanced to the Rock Island Supersectional where it will face Illini West. Schneiderman and the Cardinals (32-6) found themselves in another pitcher’s duel, as the lefthander was working on a no-hitter through the first four innings. But everything unraveled in the fifth. The no-hit bid was lost when No. 6 hitter Stachel Daleo led off with a single. The next batter tried to bunt Daleo over to second, and Schneiderman overthrew Cardinals’ first baseman Caleb Poffenberger. The error allowed Daleo to race around the bases to score the game’s first run. A perfect bunt by Jacob Gugle hugged the third-base line, and a walk by Niolaus Frahm loaded the bases for Prisby, whose single made it 3-0. The Royal Lions (336) scored five times in the
inning, despite collecting just three hits. “It was a compound of errors that did us in,” said Schneiderman, who allowed five runs, three earned, and had four strikeouts. “I can’t explain it, we just had one bad inning and it’s all over.”
Those runs were all Rockford Christian starter Alex Powell needed, as he limited the Cardinals’ chances at the plate. The crafty right-hander struck out 12 batters – a mix of six swinging and six looking – and scattered five hits in his
six innings of work. Forreston-Polo had two hits in the first two innings against Powell before he settled in. He started to get his breaking pitches over the plate, and had at least one strikeout in each inning. “I knew I had to keep at
it,” Powell said. “I knew eventually my stuff would start working. It didn’t feel right early on, but it came to me. I needed that because [Schneiderman] was really dealing. We’re used to scoring 10 runs all the time, Turn to B2

Polo-Forreston finishes strong at 1A state track meet May 30 By Andy Colbert Reporter

Cardinals fall in sectional final From B1 and he didn’t let us do that today.” The Cardinals didn’t go quietly and staged a comeback in the top of the seventh as they batted around. The first three batters reached base to chase Powell. Nolan Gazouski came on with the bases loaded and walked in two runs, and an error at shortstop gave the Cardinals their third run, before Gazouski found the plate and
shut the door by striking out Jacob Cunningham to end the game. “[Powell] was throwing well, but we just didn’t swing the bats enough,” said Cardinals centerfielder Brody Grobe, who went 1-for-2 with a single and two walks. “In that seventh, we started to feel a little life. That’s us, though. We never quit and always feel confident that we can get it done.” Forreston-Polo set a co-op
record in wins this season, as well as win percentage, and were two wins away from sending the Forreston class of athletes to its third state tournament after reaching in football and basketball this season. “Just looking in the kids’ eyes during that seventh, you could tell they weren’t going to give up,” Cardinals coach Kyle Zick said. “But all it takes is a couple mistakes in baseball and you’re done.”
After a scintillating performance in Thursday’s preliminaries of the IHSA track and field meet, it was going to be a challenge for Polo-Forreston to maintain those same levels in Saturday’s finals on May 30. That proved to be the case, but it did not diminish from a 17th place finish among the 82 scored teams in the 1A meet. P-F matched the 2011 team with an identical 15 points and four state medals. Tolono Unity, which placed in all four relays, won with 53 points, followed by Carthage Illini West with 44 and Arcola with 39.5. In the first contested race on the track for P-F, the 400-meter relay placed fourth with a time of 43.43, behind 42.96 by Arcola, 42.99 by Tolono Unity and 43.00 by Hales Franciscan. “We finished where we were seeded,” P-F coach Ryan Deets said. “Brooks got out of the blocks well, the handoffs were clean and everyone ran well. It was perfect and smooth.” P-F was nearly a half second ahead of the next closest finisher, Carthage Illini West (43.82). Running legs were Brooks Grobe, Brad Cavanaugh, Aaron Shelton and Nathan Stukenberg. “Honestly, when the season started, I never thought we’d be in the top four in the state,” Grobe said. “I always thought we could make it,” said senior newcomer Shelton. After a 2:19 weather delay for lightning, thunder and rain, P-F returned to the track to compete in the 800 relay. Similar to their 400 relay,

the 800 relay nearly matched Thursday’s preliminary time. Clocking in at 1:30.91, P-F was edged by Washburn by .001 for fifth place. “I’m happy,” said Max Barkalow, who ran with Grobe, Cavanaugh and Shelton. “Just being down here is an unbelievable experience.” Tolono, which placed in all four relays, edged Arcola for first place, 1:28.82 to 1:29.28. Sterling Newman, which had been disqualified in the 400 relay, was eighth in 1:32.18. “It couldn’t get any better than going to state three times in one year,” said Shelton of Forreston. “Hardly anyone gets to do that.” In the 1,600 relay, Cavanaugh, Stukenberg, Barkalow and Kevin Cheeseman took seventh with a time of 3:27.55, two seconds behind their 3:25.42 prelim time. Arcola won with a near record time for 1A of 3:20.65. “It was a great race against some of the best teams in the state,” Deets said. “It was nice the finish we anticipated. On Thursday, we went nuts (running a 3:25). Saturday was slower, but still the second
fastest time we ran all year.” Individually, Stukenberg took eighth in the 400 meters with a time of 50.52. Jacob Scholl of Illini West won with a 48.72. “I’m bothered more about the time,” Stukenberg said. “I would have rather placed last with a better time. After the 400 relay, I felt really good. Maybe, the delay affected me slightly.” In the 3A finals of the 400, three-event winner Kahmari Montgomery of Plainfield Central broke a 30-year old all-time state record by running 46.24. In the 1A high jump, Cavanaugh competed, but did not make the top-nine medalist list. He cleared 6-foot-1 to place 12th. In a very competitive field, two 1A jumpers cleared 6-10, better than anything done in 2A or 3A. “My steps were off and I was stuttering,” Cavanaugh said. Cavanaugh and Grobe will return next year. “This was a fun season with a great group of kids,” Deets said. “There was no shortage of heart from the first practice to the last meet.”

Sports Column Recapping the 2014-15 prep sports year By Andy Colbert Reporter As the 2014-15 prep sports year draws to a close, it’s time for the annual recap of the past nine months for Oregon High School. Biggest heartbreak had to be the volleyball team losing a sectional final to eventual state 2A runner-up Dakota. Even though the Lady Hawks failed to get that much coveted first-ever trip downstate, they left the court at Pecatonica on Nov. 6 safe with the knowledge they were on par with any 2A team in the Illinois. Oregon volleyball was good enough to be a state champ and ranks as the best sports team in 2014-15 at the high school. This is getting to be an annual award, but once again the “miracle worker” vote goes out to the football coaching staff. With the smallest number kids of the roster since
Oregon and Mt. Morris consolidated and a brutal schedule, the Hawks snuck into the playoffs with a 5-4 record for the second year in a row. If there was one trademark moment in Oregon sports this year, it was a stop the defense made against Winnebago at their own 2-yard line. At the time, ‘Bago had a 1-touchdown lead and only needed to punch in one more score to clinch the win and eliminate the 3-4 Hawks from the playoffs. The momentum from that one play carried over into the second round of the IHSA playoffs and a 4-game win streak. As far as the best performance by a boy in a particular sport, my vote goes to the effort by Garrett Rude in football. He was very enjoyable to watch on both sides of the ball and really could lay a wallop on opponents. Biggest change in 201415 was the addition of Dixon into the BNC. Twenty years ago, who would have thought a school the size of Dixon would be going against
former Mid Northern teams like Byron, ‘Bago, Stillman and Oregon? Nearly double the size of Oregon, it was a struggle against the Dukes in highprofile sports like football and basketball. The low ebb of the football season had to be the Dixon game, where the depleted Hawks resorted to using a freshman at linebacker and running back at quarterback in the second half. Longest wait for a state berth came in girls golf, as Ali Scheidecker was tied with two other girls for the 10th and final spot at the sectional. With play wrapping up late on Tuesday in miserable weather, the girls were scheduled to come back to the Lake Carroll course on Wednesday to begin a sudden death playoff. Rain on Wednesday postponed that plan and the IHSA finally made an exception and allowed all three in the state tournament without a playoff. Scheidecker made it 2-for2 in downstate appearances with an encore in bowling and will be one of the bright
spots the upcoming year. An individual near miss for glory came in wrestling with 285-pound Matt Crandall. Going into the state meet as a fourth-place sectional finisher, Crandall looked to have eventual state champ Tommy Brown of Plano beaten, but a questionable stalling call forced the match into overtime. Neither wrestler scored in the two extra periods and Crandall was given the choice of up or down for the final 30-second tiebreaker. The decision to take down proved to be unfortuitous, as he could not escape the clutches of Brown. Taking the top may have won him the match and catapulted him to the state title instead of Brown. The biggest blow of the winter sports season came when Emy Wright suffered a season-ending injury in basketball. At the time, she was one of the leading scorers in the state, regardless of class. So well respected was Wright by area coaches, that many went out of their way to pay tribute to her after the injury.
Though she did not play a full season, I contend she should have been named all state. Emy was one of my considerations for OHS girl athlete of the year, but I’m joining in with the official designation of the school and giving that honor to Kelsey Pudlas. Kelsey played three sports for all four years and excelled at each one, picking up the slack for Wright in basketball and also being a multiple state-qualifier in track. On top of that, she was one of the nicest people I’ve encountered in being around sports at OHS. On the boys’ side, Skylar Short gets my vote. What impressed me about Skylar was his willingness to give varsity football a shot his senior year and also do the same thing with track. An injury prevented him from playing baseball. Most seniors would have packed it in. Not him. Going against the flow of apathy or specialization that is so often found with athletes these days, Short came out for track and ended

up being the anchor of the sprint relays and a quality long jumper. His finish in the 3-person dead heat of 800-meter relay at the sectional will go down in Hawk track lore as one of the more remarkable moments, especially with how bizarre of an occurrence it was and how it jumpstarted the team to a strong sectional finish. As a senior, his passion for playing three sports was refreshing to see and it was a pleasure for me to get to know him.

Judge denies bond reduction for second time Swisher accused of leading police on high-speed chase By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com A Peoria man was unsuccessful last week on a second attempt to get his bond reduced in Ogle County Court. Judge Robert Hanson ruled once again May 27 that the bond for Daniel Swisher, 40, will remain at $250,000. Swisher’s attorney Paul Whitcombe, Dixon, had asked for the bond to be reduced to $100,000. He made the same request May 19, which Hanson also denied. An Ogle County Grand Jury indicted Swisher on seven charges on May 27 before his court appearance. He is charged with four counts of aggravated fleeing to elude, all Class 4 felonies; two counts
of resisting a peace officer, both Class 4 felonies; and possession of cannabis, a misdemeanor. Swisher pleaded not guilty to all seven charges. The charges stem from a high speed chase on May 6, Swisher’s 40th birthday, when he led Ogle County deputies from Castle Rock State Park, through downtown Oregon, west on Ill. 64 to Kings and back to Oregon where he was finally stopped at the west end of the bridge over the Rock River. Police said Swisher’s speed reached as high as 104 mph at one point. He was driving a 2015 Porsche. Hanson denied the bond reduction the second time for much the same reason as at the previous hearing — insufficient information about Swisher’s mental condition. Swisher testified May 19 that he has been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and has suffered from manic depressive episodes since 1998 and has been hospitalized nine times since 2013.
He said he has been prescribed medication for the condition, but was not taking it when he fled from Ogle County deputies. At that hearing, Hanson asked the Probation Department to do a pretrial services report in time for the May 27 hearing. Hanson said May 27 that he had received that report except for the information requested from Dr. Arun Pinto, who has been Swisher’s psychiatrist since 1998. Whitcombe said he had spoken with Pinto who indicated the report would be forthcoming. Hanson said he needs Pinto’s report to have a complete picture of Swisher’s mental health. “I am concerned about the safety of other persons in the community,” he said. “I don’t see Mr. Swisher as a criminal. I see him as someone having trouble with his mental health. I don’t want there to be another traveling episode. There’s been two of them this year.” Swisher was charged recently with fleeing to elude officers in
Peoria County. He was also charged in Peoria County with criminal trespass to a vehicle and resisting a peace officer after the 1998 episode. Hanson said Swisher’s actions on May 6 endangered the public, police officers, and police property. Swisher, a civil engineer who works for the Illinois Department of Transportation, was hospitalized from the day of the chase until May 19. He has been held in the Ogle County Jail since then. “I don’t think he should be in jail for a long period of time,” Hanson said. Hanson said he believes Swisher should be released to live with his parents in Peoria under monitored home detention. “We need a tracking device so if he leaves in the middle of the night someone is alerted,” he said. Hanson also said Swisher must adhere to a treatment program, stay on his medication, and agree not to drive. “He cannot drive any time, any

place, anywhere,” he said. Police said that during the May 6 chase, Swisher drove erratically and attempted to hit oncoming traffic. He also damaged three police vehicles. Earlier that day, Swisher had been involved in a chase with Jo Daviess County Sheriff ’s deputies. A status hearing is set for June 4.

All musicians and music fans are invited to the Dixon VFW Post 540, 1560 Franklin Grove Rd., on Saturday, June 6, beginning at noon, for a fundraising event to help Pete and Lilly Capes, who lost their home in the tornado on April 9. For decades “Miss Lilly” playing the dobro has been a highlight wherever music fans were gathered. A movement that started in Decatur and spread throughout Illinois formed this gathering as an opportunity to repay “Miss Lilly” for the musical joy she has spread so graciously for decades. Participants are invited to bring musical instruments, a dish to pass – or just a pocket full of money to support the fund raising efforts. All are welcome to come early and stay late, toward the goal of helping rebuild the Capes’ home. The Dixon VFW is located at Ill. 38, across from the Dixon Airport.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Even if you aren’t responsible for an unfortunate circumstance, do what you can to ease the burden of the people affected. Having a sympathetic ally will give strength to those who are struggling. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Take your mind off current troubles by engaging in family time. Attending a sporting event or visiting a craft fair or carnival
will help lift your spirits and strengthen your relationships. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Harmony at home will depend on the way you react to challenging circumstances. Relationships will be difficult. Pursuing a hobby you can work on alone will help you avoid a dispute. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If you feel lethargic, get some fresh air. Moderate exercise is a great way to stimulate and motivate you. Moping around the house will lead to stagnation. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Take an objective look at a deal or collaboration. Don’t take on additional financial obligations, but offer hands-on help. You don’t know what you can accomplish until you try.
for a new project, ask a trusted friend for advice. His or her perspective will help you make an informed decision. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Take pride in the way you live. Make your home comfortable and convenient if you want to improve family dynamics. Host a get-together where you can showcase your efforts. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you waste your time fighting with an unreasonable individual, you won’t have the energy to pursue enjoyable activities. Keep your thoughts to yourself and avoid discord. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You will be surprised to hear about or from a past partner. Before you decide to reunite, remember why and how you parted ways.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Before you make a move or leave your current position, consider the pros and cons. Other people’s experiences will not be a true reflection of how matters will pan out for you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Too many choices will confuse you. Before you sign on
