Investigators say fatal house fire is suspicious By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle said Monday that the fire that claimed the lives of a Byron mother and her young son has been ruled suspicious. Margaret “Maggie” Meyer, 31, and her son Amos Meyer, 3, died as a result of the fire which was reported the morning of Oct. 19. “The cause of the fire and their two deaths are being investigated

by the Byron Police Department, Ogle County Sheriff’s Office, Illinois State Police and Illinois State Fire Marshal,” VanVickle said in a statement released Monday evening. “Although the cause of the fire is still unknown, it is suspicious in nature.” Investigators have determined the fire started on the night of Oct. 18, according to the press release. The fire at 2020 N. Silverthorn Drive was reported around 6:40 a.m. on Oct. 19, apparently by

Meyer’s ex-husband and the boy’s father, Duane C. Meyer, who was reportedly there to pick up the youngster. When Byron firefighters arrived, Meyer and a Byron police officer were performing CPR on Amos, who had apparently been in an upstairs bedroom. The child and his father were taken to Rockford Memorial Hospital, where Amos was pronounced dead. Firefighters also could hear

smoke alarms going off and encountered heavy smoke when they arrived. Maggie Meyer was found dead on the couch on the first floor. Byron Fire Chief Galen Bennett said at the scene that firefighters encountered very little fire, but a great deal of smoke when they arrived. VanVickle said Tuesday morning that Amos died from smoke inhalation, but the cause of Margaret’s death has not yet been

determined, pending test results. The Ogle County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone who may know something about the fire or saw anything suspicious in the Byron area on the night of Oct. 18, to contact the Ogle County Sheriff’s Office at 815-732-2136. Callers can also contact OgleLee Crime Stoppers at 888-2284488. Crime Stoppers will pay up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest.

Voters to decide local referenda By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com While national and state races on the Nov. 8 ballot may be hotly contested, all candidates for Ogle County posts are running unopposed. After voting for President, U.S. Senator, and State Comptroller, voters in the county will just have to decide on various referenda. Residents of the Forreston Fire Protection District have two referenda before them. The fire district board is asking voters to hike the taxes by a maximum of 10 cents, from 30 cents to 40 cents, per $100 of equalized assessed valuation (EAV) in both the fire service and the ambulance service. That means the annual real estate taxes on a $100,000 house would increase by approximately $33 for each levy or a total of $66 if both are approved. This is the first time the fire service has asked for an increase in its 68-year history. Pirate Lance Mennen, his daughter Isabella, and dog Joey are all ready for trick or treaters Monday evening at the When the district was Mt. Morris Evangelical Free Church’s annual Trunk or Treat.

Ahoy, Matey!

tax rate was set at 30 cents per $100 EAV. The fire district took over the ambulance service in March of 1976 and the present tax rate of 30 cents per $100 EAV was set then. Currently the fire service taxes at 25.3 cents per $100 EAV and the ambulance at 24.7 cents. Fire officials say the increases are necessary to pay salaries of EMTs and for future purchases of both fire and ambulance equipment. Polo School District voters are being asked to change how they elect their school board members. A referendum on the ballot will ask if school board members should be elected at large and without restriction as to where they live. Currently no more than three members of the board can reside in the same congressional township. Back in 2007, the same question was on the ballot and was narrowly defeated 241-204. Superintendent Chris Rademacher is hoping for a Turn to A3

Heroin took young man to life of crime Editor’s note: This is the second of a four-part series on the growing use of heroin in Ogle county and how it is affecting governmental agencies, addicts, family members and the political process. By Andy Colbert acolbert@ oglecountynews.com What does heroin make a user do? For James (not his real name), it was robbing a business at gunpoint, albeit with a toy gun. “I didn’t want to do it, but had to,” James said. “By the time I made it back home, I had the dry heaves. I couldn’t believe this is what my life had become. I’m not that type of person, but needed money for heroin.” James’ indecision about robbing the business made him easy to catch. There were pace marks in snow in front of the store as he pondered whether or not to commit the crime. Police simply tracked his

path from the store to his home and arrested him. On the surface, the goodlooking 27-year-old is polite, intelligent, and hard working. Why the need to sink into the darkness of drug addiction and risk losing it all? That certainly wasn’t his plan when he began dabbling in pot and alcohol in eighth grade. His descent into addiction continued after his mother had a debilitating accident. It wasn’t the accident that affected him most, but the fact she had a steady supply of powerful pain medications. James did not use heroin is high school, but was well on the path to it, stealing his mom’s pain pills, continuing to drink, and experimenting with cocaine. “Still, I played sports, though I failed a drug test as a sophomore, had friends, was on the homecoming court and graduated,” he

said. In 2010, he used heroin for the first time with a few of his friends, but eventually stopped. In 2012, he went back to heroin, but with the intention of only using it once. Instead taking it orally, like he had done previously, this time is was to be by injection. “Taking it by injection is so much more powerful,” James said. “That is why I only planned to do it once. But, the withdrawal sickness of much worse when you inject.” That one time of injection heroin led to increased usage and a habit that was out of control. Other heroin users also speak of getting hooked on the drug after just one use. “I was losing jobs, wrecking vehicles, and had trouble functioning,” James said. “Relationships were being affected. I was a mess.” James knew he was in the

grip of a situation he couldn’t control. Though he wanted to stop the craziness in his life, the only solutions he had were either use heroin or commit suicide. “I thought about suicide everyday,” he said. Being thrown in jail was not enough for James to stop using. He felt the weight of the world on his shoulders and the only relief he felt came from using drugs. “Heroin was the only answer I had to what life throws at you,” he said. “I felt that I couldn’t live up to other people’s expectations and had relationship issues.” James found help at a treatment center, but was soon back on drugs. Desperate for sobriety, James then began attending a faith-based 12-step program. “I knew something was working for those people in recovery, but I couldn’t come clean,” James said. “I Turn to A3

Wrongful death lawsuit filed

Husband sues boat operators over the June death of Megan Wells By Kathleen Schultz Sauk Valley Media The husband of a Rockford woman killed in a boating accident June 24 is suing the drivers of both boats for wrongful death. Robbie E. Wells of Rockford is the widower of Megan Wells, 31, who died of blunt force trauma to the chest when the pontoon boat she was in, which was being driven by David D. Daily, 52, of Leaf River, and an 18-foot motorboat driven by Marc W. Mongan, 46, of Oregon, collided around 8:40 p.m. on the Rock River about 3 miles north of Oregon. Mongan, owner of Oregon Healthcare Pharmacy Services Inc., has pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanors: Firefighters battle a house fire at 501 S. Ash St., Forreston, from above and below Oct. 26.

Family loses home to dryer fire Oct. 26 By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com A fire official said the fire which destroyed the home of a Forreston family last week started in the clothes dryer. Forreston Fire Chief Stuart Meyers said the home of Dylan Joens and Cari Harper at 501 S. Ash St. was a total loss. “It was fully engulfed when we got there,� he said. The couple and their five children were home Oct. 26 when the fire started but escaped safely, Meyers said. Firefighters from the Mt.

Morris, Polo, Leaf River, Byron, and Shannon Fire Departments assisted at the scene, he said. Molly Bowen, one of the owners of Bowen’s Carpet Dry, Forreston, is spearheading an effort to help the family, who lost their belongings as well as their home.

Several referenda will be decided by Ogle County voters at polls Nov. 8 From A1 different outcome this time around, especially since state laws have changed. “Last time it had to pass in every township, now it’s a two-thirds majority overall,� he said. Rademacher said he believes the change will result in a more democratic process. The three per township rule, he said has resulted increasingly in top the vote getters sometimes not being seated on the board because the quota for their township was already filled. “I think it will be great for the district,� he said. “Let the top vote-getters get elected.

Then the people that the majority [of voters] wants will get elected. Now that’s not necessarily the case.� Officials in Taylor and Lafayette Townships, on the county’s southern border, are asking voters to combine the two townships into one. The county board gave the plan its blessing last July. Township officials say the move will be beneficial financially and more efficient for doing road work. For the merger to happen, a majority of voters in both townships will have to approve the referendum. If approved, the new township will be called

Taylor-Lafayette. A small number of Ogle County voters who live in the Dixon School District will be asked whether or not to spend $80.6 million to build and equip a new high school. Uncontested county races on the ballot include Laura J. Cook for an unexpired two-year term as clerk and recorder, Kim Stahl for a four-term term as circuit clerk, Eric Morrow for a four-year term as state’s attorney, and Louis G. Finch IV for a four-year term as coroner. All four are Republicans. Also uncontested are 16 county board seats.

Heroin abuse led to double life From A1 had problems with how I felt on the inside. Those needed to be fixed and drugs were the only way I knew how to do it.� For much of 2015, he led a double life. He attended 12step meetings and became convinced the spiritual message of recovery was the answer to what ailed him. He genuinely wanted to be sober, but like so many others like him, he couldn’t

pull it off. “I lied to them and said I was clean when I was still using and drinking,� he said. “I couldn’t break people’s hearts.� Eventually, James drifted away from the spiritual fellowship, taking a job out of state. That all came crashing down and more trouble with the law ensued. Since November 2015, James has been alcohol and

drug free. He chose to come clean with those closest to him in recovery and follow the path that they have been on. So far, it has been working. “I know what it means to be powerless over drugs,� James said. “I quit before and have always gone back to them. It’s not a matter of quitting. It’s staying quit.� Next week, a father tells of his child’s heroin addiction and death from an overdose.

County officials complete leadership training class Three Ogle County officials recently completed the coursework and are graduates of the 2016 Leadership Academy program for local government officials. County clerk and recorder Laura J. Cook, county board member Don Griffin, and county board chairman, Kim P. Gouker of Ogle County completed the Leadership Academy, a joint venture of United Counties Council of Illinois and the University of Illinois Extension. The academy is a comprehensive

leadership development program designed for county officials, elected and appointed. The central focus of this program of study whose rigor is comparable to courses at the University is on critical thinking, problem-solving, communications, planning, self-assessment, and change. Graduation ceremonies and recognition of the graduating class took place on Oct. 14 at a reception and dinner at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum, Springfield.

Golf outing raises $17,000 Officials from CHS Ethanol, Rochelle, recently presented Ogle County Educational Cooperative (OCEC) Director Mike Noble and Assistant Director Amy Stephenitch with the proceeds from the CHS seventh annual charity golf outing. The event took place on Sept. 13 in DeKalb and raised $17,000 for OCEC. The event included 128

golfers, a record high for the annual charity and included many corporate level sponsors. OCEC representatives participated in the golf event and assisted with raffle drawings, along with the organizers of the event. OCEC is using the funds to purchase technology, sensory tools, specialized equipment, and curriculum

for a new classroom (PACE - Program of Academic and Communication Experiences), which educates students in grades K-3 with communication and Autism Spectrum Disorders. The classroom is in the Oregon Elementary School and serves students from districts throughout the Ogle County Educational Cooperative.

Oregon’s school superintendent was recently honored after decades of educational service and establishing a bevy of beneficial scholastic programs. Tom Mahoney was named the 2015-16 Superintendent of Distinction by the Illinois Association of School Administrators (IASA). In an effort to recognize the efforts and performances of school superintendents, the IASA established the Superintendents of Distinction program, evaluating candidates on their leadership for learning, communication, professionalism, and community involvement. Mahoney was nominated by his peers, who believed he exemplified both the professional and personal characteristics reflected in the honor. Mahoney has been working in the education system for 25 years, 10 of which has been spent in Oregon. He first served three years as assistant superintendent, and the past seven have been as superintendent. He will be finishing his doctorate in May of 2017. Mahoney’s wife, Angela, serves as principal of Eastland Elementary School. Previously, she was a teacher at Rochelle Elementary. Their older daughter, Maisie, is a data analyst with a degree in Biomedical Engineering. Delaney, their younger daughter, is an accounting major at Illinois State University. According to Mahoney, it’s not simply a family interest in educational services; it’s about duty and hard work. “My wife and I raised our

Help your body fight off the flu this year by getting a flu shot at one of FHN’s flu shot clinics, open to the public at convenient locations across northwest Illinois. If you are an adult under 65 years of age, you will get a quadrivalent vaccine that protects against 4 strains of influenza for $40. If you’re over 65, you will receive a high-dose version of the vaccine ($57). There will be no out-of-pocket expense if you are covered by Medicare Part B (please present Medicare card) or a Medicare HMO accepted by FHN (there’s a list available at each location; covered persons MUST present the Medicare HMO card instead of the Medicare card for the billing process). All immunizations not covered by Medicare or a Medicare HMO must be paid for by cash or check payable to FHN. The prices shown here are only available at these flu shot clinics; other rates may apply in FHN offices. No other insurance coverage can be accepted at these flu shot clinics, and per government regulations, no Medicaid cards can be accepted at these locations. Because of federal guidelines to prevent identity theft, everyone must present a photo ID to receive an immunization. Children can only be immunized if a written prescription from a physician indicating dosage is presented. You should NOT receive a flu shot at any of these clinics if you: • Are allergic to eggs or the flu vaccine • Are ill or have a fever • Have a depressed immune system Please contact your healthcare provider or call FHN toll-free at 1-877-6000-FHN (1-877-600-0346) ext. 945 for assistance in finding a provider if you can’t receive a vaccination due to the above restrictions.

Shooting stars featured at program To learn more about shooting stars, attend the Prairie Preservation Society’s free Fall Program on Sunday, Nov. 20 at 2 p.m. at the Kickapoo Center, 1919 N. Limekiln Rd., Oregon (just north of the Ogle County Fairgrounds). Dr. Paul Sorenson, who will present the program, is a Ph.D. botanist, so knows more about these plants than just the flowers.

“Who can fail to be captivated by the exquisite color and symmetry of shooting star in profuse bloom on Mother’s Day each year in our Illinois prairies?” his overview reads. “Surely this is one of our most loved prairie flowers. “But the species, Dodecatheon meadia, is also one of the more intractable plants to get started in our prairie restorations: the

plants require anywhere from 6 to 22 years to reach flowering from seed. “Studies underway at Northern Illinois University have revealed methods to circumvent this long maturation process. “At the same time additional facts have been revealed that indicate the developmental biology of this native perennial is much more complex than earlier

understood. A recognition of how the species develops allows one to exploit its characteristics to turn this prairie plant into a jewel in the perennial garden.” Light refreshments will be served after the program. Children are welcome if accompanied by an adult. For more information call 815-732-7332 or email sonia.vogl@gmail.com.

DLR Academic Bowl starts the 2016 season

Halloween event enjoyed by all By Zach Arbogast zarbogast@oglecountynews.com Poltergeists, pirates, and princesses filled the Nash Recreation Center last week to play carnival games, win prizes, and have a great time. The Oregon Park District held its annual Halloween Carnival on Oct. 27, a day with two separate events for the younger generation, both held at the Nash. From 10 to 11:30 a.m. was the pre-kindergarten carnival — a time for the tiny toddlers to have their fun without having to dodge older children. Children in kindergarten through fifth grade got their chance to go wild with the festivities from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Nash Event Coordinator Debbie Leffelman says this was the 26th consecutive carnival she has helped put together. “The event has grown steadily since we first held it, and has remained about the same size for the last few years” said Leffelman. Around 75 children attended the pre-K carnival, and around 150 attended the later event for the older children. The carnival offered a sea of games, including ring toss, plink-o, mini-putt, and the ever-popular

fishing and treasure chest games. Kids were given 12 free tickets to play the games, with more being available for purchase. Face painting was also available near the entrance. Along the back wall, a table was lined with several donated gift baskets —prizes for the raffle. The Booster Club, Merlin’s, and Hopper’s Poppers were some of the many gift basket donators. The entire event was staffed by volunteers; seniors and adults operated the morning event while Oregon High School students earned service hours leading the children through games.

The Eagles of David L. Rahn Junior High opened their 2016 Academic Bowl season when they were guests of Ashton-Franklin Center on Monday, October 17. The host Raiders jumped out to an early lead by answering the first three ‘toss-up’ questions correctly. After ten questions, A-FC held a 75-25 advantage. The Eagles came to life in the second half behind correct responses from Lydia Cermak and Adrian Pierce. DLR trailed by just ten points before the final question was read. Cermak buzzed in with the winning answer and the team added two bonus questions to seal the 105-95 win for DLR. In the seventh graders first match ever, things started slowly for both sides. The Eagle’s Taylar Rufer provided two correct ‘toss-up’ answers early in the match and the visitors held a slight 35-0 edge at the break. In the second half, the Raiders and Eagles traded correct responses for one question

each as DLR was victorious, 60-15. The following week, DLR hosted the Cardinals of Meridian. The seventh graders competed first. After another slow start, the Eagles held a slight 3515 halftime edge. DLR answered four out of the final ten ‘toss-up’ questions right to win the match, 115-50. Rufer had three right answers and Faith Marquardt, two, to pace the team. The eighth grade meet was close after the first ten questions. Meridian responded correctly with four ‘toss-up’ answers while DLR countered with three. The teams were separated by only five points at the break, 75-80, with the Cardinals leading. In the final ten questions, Meridian’s team captain dominated with five correct responses to seal the victory for the visitors, 110-180. Cermak had three right ‘tossup’ answers for DLR and Abigail Tomlinson had one. The Eagles traveled to Forreston Tuesday for their third meet of the season.

Reading Matters Vocabularies are built in different ways By Mary Gardner Reading Specialist For this month, and the next few columns, we will look at several aspects of vocabulary, how it relates to reading and writing, and ways we can help our children and grandchildren build a rich vocabulary. We have listening, speaking, reading, and writing vocabularies.  Our listening vocabularies are the first we build.  With the exception of hearing impaired children, this vocabulary develops from birth.  It is built by having conversations with our children, singing and playing songs for them, and reading aloud to them.  Our listening vocabulary remains one of the strongest throughout our lives. Next to develop is our speaking vocabulary.  Children learn to communicate their wants and needs pretty quickly and in a variety of ways.  As they grow, they communicate with words, phrases and sentences.  The speaking vocabulary is built by having conversations with others. It grows as the listening vocabulary continues to develop so we need to keep doing what we can to continue to build the listening vocabulary. Our speaking vocabulary is much smaller than our listening vocabulary, even into adulthood. Reading and writing vocabularies often develop at about the same time.  Children often learn to read and write their names and family words before they go to kindergarten.  Both of these vocabularies are built by reading and writing.  Reading a lot and reading a wide variety of different kinds of text builds reading vocabulary.  Writing vocabulary is built by writing a lot.  As we grow and read and write more, both of these vocabularies become stronger.  Reading vocabulary almost always remains stronger than writing vocabulary, even as adults. Some educators would add the additional vocabulary of new literacies to this list.  Few would argue that the vocabulary and language around computer-related devices and resources is a vital part of the world today.  Often, this vocabulary is stronger for our children and grandchildren than for us.  In that case, they can help us build our knowledge of this vocabulary! All of these vocabularies relate to each other.

Building in one area impacts all of the other areas.  We get better in each area by using that particular vocabulary.  Next month we’ll look at more specifics about the

important foundation listening vocabulary. Â

Byron overpowers Eureka 44-14 in first round Tigers headed to Wilmington on Saturday By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com At halftime of a 31-0 deficit to Byron, Eureka coach Jason Bachman could only shake his head in wonderment over the Tigers’ massive offensive line. “They’re big up front (270 pound average) and beating us off the ball,” Bachman said. “I can see why they bring them in on a trailer. They’re hogs.” The interior line play of Gunnar McCoy, Logan Keller, Raymond Corcoran, Reed Fleeger and Billy Trosper opened up huge holes all afternoon for Byron runners in a 44-14 class 1A first-round playoff win on Saturday. And, Bachman wasn’t joking about them being hogs. During the playoffs, the linemen enter the stadium in an actual hog trailer with squealing and grunts played over the sound system, much to surprise of their opponents and the delight of the home crowd. It only took three plays for Byron to start its rout of the Hornets. Peyton Keller, one of several backs used by coach Jeff Boyer, scored on a 38-yard run. “I’m happy with the kids’ performance. We can rotate a lot of backs in,” Boyer said. Byron was also helped by short fields. Brady Scheffler returned punts into Eureka territory to set up the first two scores. On his third return, he had a

touchdown called back for a penalty. That didn’t matter, as Trevor Koritz scored his second touchdown of the game to make it 21-0 on a 6-play drive. “It was a good job by our special teams and nice returns by Scheffler,” Boyer said. Byron needed its finest execution on special teams to make a field goal as the half ended. With no timeouts, the field goal team rushed on to the field and Koritz calmly connected from 32 yards out to make it 31-0. “We work on the hurry up on Thursday in practice,” Boyer said. “The guys really sprinted out there.” Eureak closed to within 31-7 on a 71 pass to Allen Lehman, but Koritz and Justin Martinez added touchdown for Byron. Koritz had three TDs, three extra points and a field goal. Martinez led the Tigers with 99 yards rushing, followed by Keller with 83 and quarterback Brandon Elsbury with 62. Martinez also had a 15-yard sack and another tackle for a loss in the first half from his linebacker position. For the fourth time in a row, Byron (10-0) will play Wilmington (10-0) in the playoffs, with the Tigers prevailing in a 42-35 thriller on the road last year. “We’re looking forward to going back there,” McCoy said. “The atmosphere there is amazing.” The game time is 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 5, at Wilmington. “They know what we do and we know what they do,” Boyer added. “It should be a great game.”

Chada takes top honors at cross country sectional By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com The plot thickens. Is Tanner Chada of Hinckley-Big Rock the new favorite for the Class 1A boys state individual cross country title or did Brayden Hamblen of Rock Falls just have an off day at the Oregon sectional? Hamblen saw his seasonlong unbeaten streak come to the end at the hands of Chada, and quite decisively at that. The pair stayed within a stride of one another until the 2-mile mark of the Park West course. Then the smooth-looking Chada made a move that left Hamblen struggling to keep up, crossing the finish line in 15:27 to 15:46 for Hamblen. “The hardest part of the course is at two miles,” the 4-time Rocket state qualifier said. “It got to me mentally when he made that move. And, obviously as the season went on, the pressure to stay unbeaten builds up.” Hamblen did not want to

make excuses, but wasn’t at full strength because of cold symptoms. Compared to the graceful gait of Chada, Hamblen didn’t look like the same runner that set at personal best last week at the BNC meet. “Brayden didn’t have the race he wanted,” RF coach Mark Truesdell said. “I’d rather have it here than next week. He knows his mistakes and will correct them.” On the other hand, Chada looked fully recovered from a knee injury that sidelined him after taking third in the state as a sophomore two years ago. “On the last mile, all I thought about was sitting on couch with a pin in my knee,” he said, in reference to knee surgery. “Then, at the state meet last year, I fractured my shin. This year is centered on getting back to where I can be and today I finally felt 100 percent.” With 3-time state champ Jon Davis graduated and Hinckley-Big Rock’s Turner Chada (145), leads Sterling no other viable candidate Newman’s Chris Ahlers (277) and Brayden Hamblen Oregon’s Ian Hussung (182) and Jordan Wilkins ( 185) run at Turn to B2 (227) at the Class 1A sectional.

Amboy girls qualify team for state ​ y Andy Colbert B acolbert@oglecounty news.com School history was made by the Amboy-LaMoille girls cross-country squad at the 1A sectional meet. With a fourth-place finish, they became the first team (boys or girls) ever to qualify for the IHSA state meet. Amboy had 145 points, comfortably ahead of the 163 by sixth-place Seneca, with the top five teams qualifying. Richmond-Burton won with Oregon’s Mayra Nava-Moyotl runs to the finish line at the a score of 72. Oregon Sectional. Photo by Earleen Hinton “We beat a lot of teams

that have been beating us all year,” Amboy coach Bob Halberg. “This is as close to a home meet as we can get. We run more here than anywhere. It was a definite advantage.” The Clippers had its best pack running of the year, with its top six placers (Erin Hosto, Megan Grady, Margaret Vaessen, Kaitlyn Ortgiessen, Cassidy Corcoran, Kelynn Boyle) within 22 places. “Our No. 3 runner (Vaessen) came up on me and it woke me up,” Grady said. “I was nervous and my

mind had gotten the better of me. She spurred me on.” If it wasn’t for the team, Grady would have been sitting out the state meet after qualifying for it as an individual the last three years. “Our teammates have helped me so much. I can’t say enough about them,” Grady said. Nygia Pollard, of upstart Elgin Christian Harvest, won with a time of 19:16. Byron’s Emma Hildreth was fourth at 19:32 for the top area finish. The hard-luck runner of the meet was Sterling

Newman senior Teagan McKenna. After advancing downstate the last two years, McKenna took 12th with a time of 20:14, one spot away from qualifying. “You realize it’s your last year and might be your last race,” said McKenna, who initially thought she was safe with the 12th place. “I felt more pressure. Not until the last half mile did I feel okay. I thought being in top 15 would be okay.” Oregon’s Mayra NavaMoyotl closed out her varsity Turn to B2

Oregon falls to Dakota in volleyball regional final By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Hit me with your best shot. Fire away. That might be lyrics to a Pat Benatar 1980s hit, but it also could have served as the theme for the Dakota volleyball team in a 28-26, 25-23 win over Oregon in a 2A regional final on Oct. 27. Hawk frontliners Gylian Finch and Bailey Nelson gave Dakota everything they could handle with some monster kill attempts. Over and over, though, the Indians managed to deny Oregon scoring chances with scrappy digs. “I’m not sure how they are doing it,” said Oregon athletic director Mike Lawton, watching the action unfold. ‘They have a nose for the ball.” Without a single player over 5-foot-9, Dakota used the skills of its backcourt to beat the Hawks for the third straight time (2012, 2014) in the post season. Leading the way for Dakota was libero Ashley Porter, who added to her season-high total of 509 digs and seemingly was all over the court. “She ranks high in the state for that,” Dakota coach Annie Nelson said. Even with a height advantage, Oregon (21-15) found out early that Dakota meant business. Falling behind 7-2 in the first game, Oregon set up Finch for two kills, only to see the Indians remarkably return the ball each time. Finally, on the third attempt, Finch hit it out-of-bounds. “I’m guessing they scouted her a lot,” Oregon coach Faith Watson said. ‘They shut her down.” Oregon did take a 2-0 lead to start the contest, only to see Dakota rattle off 11 of

the next 12 points. Nelson then began to make her presence felt for Oregon. Three straight kills by the 5-11 sophomore pulled the Hawks to within 16-10. With Dakota (25-10-2) set up to defend the kills, Taylor Egan wisely snuck two balls Aleah Wight reacts to pivotal line into the corners for call during the second game of the Oregon, making it a regional championship. 16-14 game. nifty net save by Bianca “The way we came back from an 8-point Ruchti.

Two Finch we could not stop,” coach Nelson said. kills made it 21-19. The two teams traded Nelson, who rotated out of the line-up and played only points, with Nelson carrying the front line, added a pair of the team on her back with kills. Sandwiched between three straights kills and a that was a Finch serving ace block to get within 24-23. “Bailey had a great game,” and suddenly the Hawks led Watson said. 24-22. That would be the final Dakota came back to tie it, but Nelson slammed points Oregon would score, down a shot for a 25-24 as a Finch serve sailed advantage. She had a chance out-of-bounds and Dakota to win the game after a set escaped with a narrow win. “We talked before the up by Rorbeck, only to have game that is we got down, MarySue Kinney block her. “She about 5-foot-5 with a we had to push hard,” Watson vertical jump of 29 inches,” said. “We weren’t able to said coach Nelson of Kinney. push hard enough.” After taking over the “She wants it.” Nelson, who had the match program four years ago, of her young career, blocked Watson is sorry to see five the next Dakota attempt and seniors (Emily Perkins, again Oregon was only one Allison Weber, Rorbeck, Ketter, Egan) leave. point was winning. “I came in when they were But, Kinney nailed a kill right on the line, Maddie freshmen and we’ve gotten DiModica had an ace and 100 wins with them,” Watson Ashley Buck a kill to close said. “It’s been an interesting out the game out for Dakota. season – a roller-coaster ride.

Forreston beats Luther 67-0 By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com

Byron’s Chase Sarver to run at state meet From B1 leaping to the forefront of 1A cross country, the state meet is shaping up to be a dual between Chada and Hamblen. Chris Ahlers of Sterling Newman, who took third with a time of 16:01, was impressed with Chada. “For me, he has always been the (state) favorite,” said Ahlers, who also led Newman to their fifth straight trip downstate as a team. “I know the kind of training he does. He was ready to make us hurt today.” Besides Hamblen seeing his unbeaten streak come to an end, Rock Falls had the misfortune of freshman Dawson Smith missed qualifying by one place, the team miss going downstate by one place and an ambulance

being called for Jonathan Ross, who collapsed on the course. “As my dad said, sometimes you’re the windshield and sometimes you’re the bug,” Truesdell said. “This year, we’re the bug.” Ross one of several boy and girl runners that didn’t make it to the finish line and needed medical attention. Oregon competed as a team and finished 21st with 538 points. The top finisher was Ian Hussung, who took 59th and had a time of 18:19. Byron’s Chase Sarver took eighth and returns downstate. In the team competition, Elgin Harvest Christian beat Rockford Christian 74-93 for first. Both are considered contenders to bring home a Byron’s Chase Sarver races toward the finish line at the state title. Oregon Sectional on Saturday. Photo by Earleen Hinton

on the ground, taking a 61-0 lead. A running clock was the only thing that kept this Oct. 28 game from getting completely insane from a statistical standpoint. As it was, the 67 points was a new Class 1A playoff scoring record, besting the 64 scored by El Paso in 2002. Forreston also holds the 2A scoring record, ironically set against El Paso in 2007, in a 75-24 win. “We did what we had to do and kept our running backs fresh,” Forreston coach Denny Diduch said. Luther North had no answer for the rotation of Cardinal backfield speed merchants. On Forreston’s first touch, Gavin Fuchs raced 61 yards for a score, one of seven touchdowns over 38 yards or more. “I think they gave up as they saw their hopes dwindle,” said Fuchs, who averaged 48

yards a carry. Matt Akins had three touchdowns and was one of four backs to top the century mark on the ground. One of those was seldom-used sophomore Hunter Rogers who had a 67-yarder to make it 61-0. Helping in the cause were Cardinal offensive linemen driving Luther North defenders five yards past the line of scrimmage on virtually every play. Between the speed of the running backs and the power of the line, Luther North was hapless to make any kind of stop. Forreston (10-0) will be at home again next week against 7-3 Stark County, a 35-14 winner over Elgin Westminster. It will be Forreston’s fourth playoff game against the Rebels in the last five years, with SC winning last year 4216 on its way to second-place in state.

Nava-Moyotl is 28th From B1 career with an outstanding race, taking 28th out of 153 competitors. “My legs got tired, but Mrs. Gipper said to run with your legs the first mile, your mind the second mile and

your heart the third mile,” Nava-Moyotl said. Cynthia Nederek also ran and had a respectable top 100 finish with a time of 23:54. Among freshmen, she was 18th.

Sports Column Football playoffs in full swing By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com After the first weekend of the football playoffs, it’s appears that Forreston and Lena-Winslow are the top two teams in the 1A northern bracket. That what it looked like a month ago, when Le-Win gave Forreston all they could handle in a 13-7 game. Following the game, Coach Ric Arand aptly said Le-Win would not see a better team than Forreston the rest of the year. Ottawa Marquette did little to justify its existence as the No. 1 seed in a squeaker over No. 16 Milledgeville. Don’t be surprised if No. 8 Dakota beats Marquette this Saturday and runs the table to the semifinal.

The Dakota-Polo score of 42-21 is deceiving. The Marcos were in this contest until the last part of the fourth quarter. It was good season for Polo and another one should be in the offing for 2017. There were a solid core of talented sophomores and juniors. For a top-notch 1A program, though, the key is to size and depth in the line. The Marcos will need to replace a lot of seniors up front. Forreston vs Stark County People talk about the speed Forreston has, but their line is as good as anyone in 1A. Based upon superior line play alone, the Cardinals will have the edge against Stark County. One handicap Forreston has is lack of competition that last two weeks, with both Pecatonica and Luther North being more like a jayvee opposition.

The danger is being lulled into a lower level of play. Sure, Forreston has plenty of competition among itself in practice, but that environment is never the same as game conditions. Initially, it might take a few plays against Stark County to get re-acclimated to hard-hitting and increased speed. If Forreston avoids costly penalties and fumbles, they should be okay against the Rebels.

Byron, they have an even higher ratio of kids out. Declining numbers and lack of competitiveness are driving Pec and Durand to co-op in football next season. That creates a schedule headache for the conference, but that is the world of smallschool football all over Illinois. With Amboy fully established in the NUIC, one wonders if Fulton and Morrison will follow suit?

Byron’s domination in numbers I wasn’t sure what I was more impressed with, Byron’s dominating running game against Eureka or the fact they had 38 juniors and seniors on the roster. With many area teams facing declining numbers, Byron has offset that trend. As do Forreston and Le-Win, both with 26 upperclassmen playing football. Considering their enrollments compared to

Oregon’s season Let’s put a cap on Oregon’s football season. It’s a broken record, but the coaching staff gets as much out of the talent they can. I have yet to attend a Hawk game where the kids aren’t prepared to play. With a 2-7 record, two considerations need to be made. The BNC is a different league than 10 years ago when Oregon and Stillman Valley were dominating it. Dixon wasn’t in it and

Rockford Lutheran lacked resources. Now, both have a stranglehold on the Hawks. Byron has always been solid, but lately has risen above Oregon. Those were the only three games this season Oregon didn’t have a chance in. Rock Falls is no longer a patsy. They proved to be legitimately better than Oregon and the Hawks wore down in the second half because of lack of depth. One game that got away was North Boone. Oregon is better team than NB and from a psychological perspective, the playoffs may have been lost right then and there. With such a narrow margin of error, that was a must win. The best Oregon looked was towards the end of the first half against Winnebago. Led by quarterback Caid Chenoweth, they made some big plays to take a halftime lead against a more talented opponent.

Andy Colbert

Bottom line on the Hawks is they did about as well as they could, but the BNC is a much more difficult road to navigate. That combined with lack of comparative athleticism and depth makes 2-7 a reality. As an outside observer, I would consider the 2016 season a success with all the effort put forth and team unity.

Electronics recycling event will be in Oregon Nov. 18 The Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department (OCSWMD) will hold its monthly collection event for e-scrap on Friday, Nov. 18, due to county offices being closed the last Friday of the month, the usual collection date. The location takes place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Ogle County Annex Building, 909 W. Pines Rd., Oregon. In Ogle County, the collection and recycling of e-scrap is maintained through a partnership between the OCSWMD and Dynamic Recycling, based in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Dynamic Recycling holds several certifications to safely, securely, and properly manage all metal, plastic, glass, and other items which result from the processing of e-scrap. These resources are then returned as raw materials to the economic mainstream to be used in new products. Items accepted include all televisions, computer monitors, computer hardware and cables, printers, FAX machines, copiers, VCR’s, DVD players, satellite or cable boxes, stereo equipment,

radios, holiday light strands, cell phones, home phones, tablets, laptops, CFL bulbs, and printer cartridges. All items are accepted free of charge, except microwave ovens, which are $5 per unit. This event is for Ogle County residents and accepts only residentially generated e-scrap. Since 2012 Illinois has banned electronic devices (e-waste or e-scrap) from being disposed of in landfills. Electronic devices, such as computer hardware, monitors, televisions, cell phones, tablets, VCR’s or DVD’s, and other related equipment are one of the fastest growing waste streams in the United States, especially with how quickly these items become obsolete. Many materials within this “e-scrap” can be recycled and returned to the economic mainstream, making it desirable to keep them out of landfills. Materials such as aluminum, copper, steel, plastic, and even precious metals are contained in e-scrap. In addition, certain materials contained in e-scrap are hazardous to

the environment, such as mercury, lead, phosphorus, and many others, so reclaiming those materials can reduce the risks. The collection and recycling of e-scrap has been a challenge for local governments across our state and country. The high volume of this material, coupled with excessive amounts of older tube (CRT) televisions and monitors, with unwanted leaded glass, and lower commodity prices for metal scrap, have made this one of the top challenges for collection agencies and recyclers. Many locations have no option for e-scrap, or the cost of collecting and recycling keeps increasing, forcing agencies to re-think collection programs. This “perfect storm” has led to abandoned stockpiles of material, illegal dumping, and frustrated residents who wish to recycle but are left with very few options. For more information about Ogle County’s program or information about business e-scrap, call the OCSWMD at 815732-4020 or visit www. oglecounty.org.
