Police still investigating arson and double homicide By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com Ogle County detectives are continuing to investigate an arson and double homicide that occurred in Byron a year and a half ago, but no arrests have been made. Lt. Brian Ketter, investigations commander for the Ogle County Sheriff ’s Department, said Tuesday that he and his team are still following leads into the deaths of Margaret “Maggie” Meyer, 31, and her three-year-old son, Amos, on Oct. 19, 2016. The second annual Infinity Run event, held in memory of the two by the Maggie & Amos Foundation,
will be Saturday, April 28 at Chana Education Center in Chana with activities starting at 3 p.m. Meyer was a teacher at the Chana Education Center, and the goals of the foundation include helping to support educational grants for local teachers for classroom projects and libraries, and scholarships to support undergraduate and graduate students going into the field of special education. Meyer was found dead on a couch on the first floor of her burning home at 2020 N. Silverthorn Drive, and her son Amos was pronounced dead a short time later at Rockford Memorial Hospital. “Officially it’s still an active
investigation,” Ketter said. He said detectives are determined to solve the case, but declined to give further details. The fire was reported around 6:40 a.m. by Meyer’s ex-husband, Duane C. Meyer, 35, of Stillman Valley, who told officials he was there to pick up his son. The couple had been divorced about a month earlier. When firefighters arrived, smoke alarms were sounding, the house was filled with heavy smoke, and Duane Meyer and a Byron police officer were on the lawn performing CPR on Amos, who had been in an upstairs bedroom.
Amos and his father were taken to Rockford Memorial Hospital, where the little boy was pronounced dead. An autopsy at the Winnebago County Coroner’s office showed he died of smoke inhalation. Police have not released the cause of Meyer’s death or the fire started. A representative from the State Fire Marshal’s Office determined the fire was an arson while he was at the scene. Anyone with information about the crime is asked to call the Ogle County Sheriff ’s Office at 815-732-2136 or Ogle Lee Crime Stoppers at 888-228-4488.

Mongan takes plea deal in boating death By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com An Oregon man accepted a plea offer March 19 and pleaded guilty to the least serious of the several felonies he was charged with in the death of a Rockford woman in a boating accident two years ago. Marc Mongan, 47, pleaded guilty in Ogle County Court to reckless conduct causing great bodily harm, a Class 4 felony. He had been charged with seven felonies, including drunk driving, in the death of Megan Wells, 31, on June 24, 2016. The accident occurred on the Rock River three miles north of Oregon when the johnboat he was operating struck Wells as it went over the back of the pontoon boat she was riding in, throwing her overboard, investigators said. Special prosecutor David Neal, from the Illinois State’s Attorney’s Appellate Monday’s spring-like warmth and sunshine gave Jerry Griffin the perfect opportunity to till up space to plant potatoes. After Prosecutor’s office, read the a record cold April so far, the low 70s were a welcome change.

conference held on March 17. Attorneys for both sides then met with Redington in his chambers for 45 minutes, and then the attorneys and Mongan conferred for another 25 minutes outside the courtroom before announcing that the plea offer had been accepted. Attorney Cynthia Koroll, Rockford, who is representing Wells’ parents, David and Robin Swaziek, Loves Park, as crime victims, objected to the plea deal. “I can’t tell the state not to dismiss charges, and I can’t tell Mr. Mongan not to plead guilty,” Redington told her. He said the Swazieks and other family members will have an opportunity to give their impact statements at the sentencing hearing. Wells’ mother sobbed softly when Neal announced that Mongan would change his previously not guilty plea to guilty. After the hearing, Wells’ father spoke to the press. “It’s been such a tremendous journey. We always felt the cards were not dealt in our favor, but we kept fighting. We just wanted justice all along,” he said. “Today he pled guilty to a felony charge that he took her life. To hear him finally say ‘I’m guilty’ was bittersweet.” Swaziek said he would have preferred the case would have been decided by a jury. “We would like the maximum penalties,” he said. “This has greatly affected our family and Megan’s kids. There should be consequences.” Wells was the mother of three young children. Neal said Mongan could be sentenced to up to three years in the Illinois Department of Corrections with a year of mandatory supervised release, and fined up to $25,000. “When I was first assigned this case and I reviewed the

Fire damages Oregon home By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com A fire that started in the kitchen extensively damaged an Oregon home on Friday afternoon. “There was heavy smoke and heat damage throughout the house, and heavy fire damage in the kitchen,” Oregon Fire Chief Mike Knoup said. “There
were no injuries.” No one was home, he said, when the fire started just before 2 p.m. on April 20 at the home of Jason Stombaugh, 905 Madison St. The exact cause is as yet undetermined. The State Fire Marshal’s office is assisting with the investigation. Knoup said the fire appeared to have started in cooking utensils left on the gas stove.
The resident who was home at the time had briefly left the house, he said. “We believe the stove was left on, but we couldn’t tell for sure,” Knoup said. A neighbor saw smoke coming from the house and called 911. Firefighters from the Mt. Morris, Byron, and Stillman Valley Fire Departments assisted at the scene.

Meeting to offer info on Airbnb Encore! to hold meeting April 30 Encore! Mt. Morris continues to plan many events and activities, promoting Mt. Morris as a “rural destination for the arts.” Encore! has recognized a need to expand lodging availability in the area, and is offering a short workshop to help area residents find out what’s involved in being an Airbnb host and to get their questions answered on Monday, April 30 at 6:30
p.m. at the Mt. Morris Public Library. Handouts will be posted on EncoreMtMorris.com through the Mt. Morris Area Lodging link after April 23 for anyone who cannot attend the meeting. Crowds have been building for events; additional housing needs for visitors has also been growing. Encore! has posted area lodging options (motels, bed and breakfasts, camp grounds) at EncoreMtMorris. com, but at peak times these places may not be able to handle the number of people
who want to stay. Not very many accommodations are available in Mt. Morris itself either. Offering rooms in area homes for short stays through Airbnb (airbnb. com), a national room and house rental program is one solution. This workshop is for anyone who would consider offering a guest room in his or her home for an arts enthusiast or two who might need a place to stay during PorchFest, Let Freedom Ring, the U.S. National Straw Competition or other area events.

“Hoping many of you will consider planting the Mt. Morris official flower wherever appeals to you,” said Mary Jane Warkins, a member of the Beautification Committee. “Think – street corners, lamp posts, flower beds, pots, planters, light poles, stop signs, or in your fella’s tackle box.” She said marigolds will last into October if the wilted flowers are pinched off to encourage more blooming throughout the season. A little water to quench their thirst doesn’t do any harm either. “I have heard so many nice
comments from residents and visitors since participation has grown the last few years. Special thanks to everyone who got involved throughout the village,” Warkins said.
“With so many visitors coming in to enjoy our many events, let’s show our pride with our properties standing tall and, of course, many marigolds.”

Safety measures stepped up local schools on April 27 By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com Schools in the Oregon district will have extra safety measures in place on Friday due to a threat made several weeks ago. Superintendent Thomas Mahoney emailed a letter to families in the district on Monday letting them know that parents who choose to keep their
children home on April 27 are free to do so and the absences will be excused. Mahoney said a school administrator overheard the threat that was made in a conversation between two students at Oregon High School in March and was tied to April 27. “While the threat was investigated and deemed unfounded by the Oregon Police Department, a local mental health agency, and the high school
administration, we recognize there may be increased anxiety for students and parents regarding attending school on April 27,” Mahoney said in the letter. “We want to assure OCUSD families that student safety is of the utmost importance. To that end we are taking the following steps on the 27th: There will be an increased police presence on campus at both start and end of the school day. In conjunction
with the Oregon and Mt. Morris Police Departments, we will have additional safety measures in place throughout the day. “However, if you believe it is in your child’s best interest to keep him or her home that day, please contact your student’s school office to report that absence. Those absences will be excused.” Mahoney said the March threat is
“completely unrelated” to a threat made on social media on April 6. A 17-year-old OHS student has been charged with two counts of disorderly conduct in connection with that incident. According to a press release issued by the school district April 6 that student will not be allowed back on school property until the matter is resolved.
Mongan accepts plea deal From A1 evidence, it was my opinion that this case warranted a felony conviction,” Neal said after the hearing. “This defendant will now have a felony conviction.” Tess spoke briefly with the press after the hearing. “Mr. Mongan made a very difficult decision today that he
believes is in his best interests and the best interests of his family,” he said. Mongan still is facing several civil suits filed in Ogle County Court, including a wrongful death suit filed by Wells’ husband, Robbie Wells, against him and pontoon boat operator David Daily, 54, of Leaf River, who is Megan’s uncle; one filed by Daily and his wife,
Leigh, claiming infliction of emotional distress by Mongan’s negligent operation of his boat; and one filed by husband and wife Phillip J. Lukes and Sherry M. Bushre, of Chicago, who also were passengers in the pontoon boat, claiming physical, psychological, and emotional injuries. A status hearing in all three is set for May 8.

Can you help build a horse barn? Sponsorships sought to help cover cost of new barn at the Fairgrounds The Ogle County Horse Barn Committee seeking sponsorships to help build a permanent horse barn at the Ogle County Fairgrounds. The barn will be an asset to the infrastructure at the fairgrounds and a source of income from winter storage of recreational vehicles.
The estimated cost of Phase 1 is $75,000. This includes the exhibition barn, water, and electricity. Completion of Phase 1 will allow more equine events and attract multiple day events during the year. The former Bits and Reins two-day show at the Diamond G Western Store and Arena on June 23 and 24 is now a BuildA-Barn show, and the Build-A-Barn show at the Ogle County Fair will be Sunday, Aug. 5. All proceeds go toward the Build-ABarn Fund.
Some events in the planning stages for 2018 are a dance, a fall fun show, barbecue and bonfire, and an end of the season tack sale. Sponsorships can be for the classes of the donor’s choice, a donation, or an item for a silent auction. Sponsors’ names will be on display and announced on the day of the show, or they may remain anonymous. For more information, contact Lynne Radville at 815-238-7892 or sohodivine2004@yahoo.com or Linda Schreiber at 815-757-9846 or taffysbucky@gmail.com.

Dear Editor, The Oregon Park District held the second annual Frolic with the Fairies Event and Fashion Show on April 14.  The park district has a great reputation for quality events and the 2018 Fairy event was no different.  Oregon Park District special events would not be possible without the many gracious volunteers and support of the local business community.  In addition to the business support, there were 10 volunteers from the community that helped with the necessary fairy activities not to mention my wonderful co-workers who helped with the huge task of set up, decorating, tear down and more. Oregon Park District events are a team effort.  Profits from the Fairy Fashion Show benefit the Oregon Park District Youth Scholarship Fund.  This is a fund designed to allow all Oregon School Dis-
trict families an opportunity to participate in park district programs no matter their financial situation.  Our belief is that every child deserves the right to participate and enjoy recreation. The scholarship fund is supported through donations, but also through money raised by the staff through fundraisers and special event profits.  Thank you to JTI Salon & Spa, Red Stone Salon & Spa, Polished Hair & Nails, Niki

Homemade is not always better when it comes to herbicides Products can still be hazardous to your health, pets Recipes for homemade weed killers abound on the Internet. University of Illinois Extension specialist Michelle Wiesbrook explained why homemade is not always better. “It’s important to keep in mind that anyone can post anything and make it look believable,” Wiesbrook said. “All the author needs is a recipe using easy-to-access ingredients, an adjective like ‘amazing’ or ‘best,’ and a pretty picture to draw attention to it. “These little DIY gems spread like wildfire on social media,” she said. Popular mixes tend to include one or more of these main ingredients: vinegar, boiling water, bleach, baking A wide variety of plants including hanging baskets, vegetables, herbs, flowers, and perennials will be available at the Forreston FFA Plant sale.

disadvantages of these home remedies often outweigh the advantages. “These products don’t contain labels with safety or rate information, and yet they can still be hazardous to your health.” Vinegar can be effective for weed control, but only if it is a strong enough grade, which the bottle in your kitchen likely isn’t. “Vinegar contains acetic acid that in concentrations over 11 percent can cause burns if it gets on your skin and permanent corneal injury if it comes in contact with your eyes. This is why reading and following the label is so important,” she said. “There are now registered herbicidal vinegar products you can buy that have use and safety information on their label.” What about borax? Although borax may sound like a “natural” weed-control method, it is important to remember that it can still be harmful to children and pets and mixtures should be kept out of their reach. “Registered pesticides that have been studied extensively Turn to A10

Master Gardener Interns on the job Three new Master Gardener Interns are on the job in Ogle County. On April 12, University of Illinois Extension graduated 14 area volunteers from the University of Illinois Extension Master Gardener training program held in Winnebago County. University of Illinois Extension’s Master Gardener program is an educational volunteer training program. Volunteers take classes that provide information on horticulture topics including vegetables, tree and small fruits, insect and disease management, turf grass management, Master Gardener graduates posed for a photo following their training. Pictured in the front row, left to right, are: Sam annuals, perennials, soils, Burbach, Karen Davila, Annette Weston, Kathy Manson, Jessica Klinkhammer, Gail Giglio, Mary Korth, Mary Ann Miller, botany, and plant pathology.

their training, they volunteer 60 hours over a two-year time period for their local county Extension program. They may answer client questions at the horticulture help desk, assist with plant clinics, speak to various groups, conduct workshops, work with community and school gardens, and more. Master Gardener volunteers enable University of Illinois Extension to expand its potential to reach more people with horticulture information to improve their gardens and communities.

Don’t cut corners for weed control From A9 come with labels that tell you how to protect yourself and others,” Wiesbrook said. “The borax box only tells you how to wash your clothes.” A problem with using borax is that the chemical it contains, boron, does not break down or dissipate like conventional weed killers do, so repeated or excessive applications can result in bare areas where no vegetation can grow. Similarly, salt, which is sometimes used for long-term weed control, destroys the soil structure and is mobile, meaning it can migrate to nearby areas in your garden, resulting in unwanted plant damage. Some homemade weed-killer ingredients can have a lasting effect on the soil making it so that nothing will grow there for a long time. Depending on the area
and what you are trying to accomplish, that may not sound so bad. Yet, conventional herbicides are made to break down or dissipate in a timely fashion. While it is frustrating to see new weeds grow back, it’s reassuring to know the soil is still healthy enough to promote growth. On the other hand, one other important disadvantage of some homemade weed controls is that they often work only temporarily or only partially affect the top growth. Take boiling water, for example. Pouring it on green leaves would mean certain death, but the roots underground are still protected. “If your weed is a perennial or if it has a deep taproot, you can bet it will grow back,” Wiesbrook said. “Plus, how safe is it to carry big pans of boiling water out the door to your garden? Everything has a risk, and furthermore
everything can be toxic or dangerous—even water.” Some claim that their recipes or methods are more effective or longer lasting than registered herbicides. What about their environmental impact? Are these products mobile in the soil? Will they end up in the groundwater? Have they been tested for this use? Would U.S. EPA approve these weed control methods? If not, would they insist the contaminated soil be removed? Finally, money savings is often what drives the use of these mixtures. But how much are you really saving? When calculating this, be sure to factor in your personal safety, any potential environmental damage, and the expected length of control. Don’t cut corners when it comes to these important factors—even if the recipe does sound “amazing.”

Hawk Classic to feature top track teams this Friday Field events start at 4 p.m. at high school By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com This Friday, some of the top boys track teams in the area will converge upon Oregon for the 42nd Annual Art Carlson Hawk Classic. Among the 20 schools are 1A
state-title contenders Forreston-Polo, Rockford Christian and Sterling Newman. “Other than the state meet, this is the most competitive meet of the year for small schools from northern Illinois,” Oregon coach Jim Spratt said. Also entered are traditional powers Erie-Prophetstown, Lena-Winslow, Oregon and Winnebago, along with 2A teams Rochelle and Woodstock North. Polo-Forreston won the Classic
in 2016 and Rockford Christian followed up as champ in 2017. “Those two will be the main contenders for the team title again,” Spratt said. Even with state champ sprinter Easton Bianchi’s (Newman) status uncertain because of a hip flexor, the relays should be one of the highlights of the meet. F-P, RC, Lena-Winslow and Fulton have some of the top times in 1A in the sprint relays.
RC and F-P should also test each other in the 1,600 relay. “Rockford Christian has been running some of the best times in the state since the indoor season in all four relays,” Spratt said. One the elite individual races will be the 800, where 1A state champ Riley Wells of RC and Ian Hussung of Oregon will square off. This past weekend, Wells ran 1:55 and Hussung 1:56.
AJ Christensen of F-P will be favored in the hurdles and teammate Brady Webb will be aiming for 23 feet in the long jump. Another field event standout is Kyle Kruthoff of E-P, who has gone 14-9 in the pole vault. Jake Mennen of Oregon has a best of 13-6 from last year and hopes to have his first big performance of the year. Field events start at 4 p.m. with running events scheduled for 5:45.
Lady Cardinals blow by
Oregon 13-3 in Forreston By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com It was more than a better team that beat Oregon in softball on Saturday. In a 13-3 loss to Forreston, Hawk coach Jamie ReVelle said her squad has been struggling on and off the field. “The team is dealing with a lot of things not showing up on the scoreboard,” ReVelle said. “There have been about four to five things back-to-back that have been distractions from the beginning of the season. We just want to get back on track maybe when prom is over.” Aleah Wight, who has been the heart and soul of the team, put Oregon up 1-0 in the first inning. She managed three of the four base hits against Brycelynn Smith and scored on a sacrifice bunt by Emily Logan. “Those were bright spots - bunting and getting the signals,” ReVelle said. Forreston went up 3-1 in the bottom of the first inning on runs by Smith, Alexus Houston and Morgan Kuelling. Houston had a triple to right center and Kuelling a double to left center. In the second inning, Oregon began to self destruct with throwing and fielding errors, as the Cardinals (7-7) batted
through the order. Taylor Greenfield blasted a triple for the key hit in a 6-run inning. “We had been struggling with runners in scoring position,” Forreston coach Kim Snider said. “We had a turning point today in getting them in.” In the top of the third inning, Wight drilled a ball over the left fielder’s head and advanced to third base. It was another sac bunt bringing her in, this time by pitcher Ellie Egyed (8 hits, one strikeout, 5 walks). That cut the lead to 9-2 and Logan reached base on an error. Houston stymied the rally by snaring a foul ball from her catcher’s position and doubling Logan off first base. Houston wasn’t done making big plays. On the bottom of the third, she rapped a inside-the-park homer to the far right corner of the field. That combined with a Paitlyn Broshous run made it 11-2. For good measure, Houston made an over the head catch on Oregon’s very next at-bat. “Lex played exceptionally well,” Snider said. Oregon had its best offensive effort in the fifth inning. Addie Kitzmiller got to first on a HBP. Heather Braden then had the only non-Wight hit. Up to the plate came Wight and she drove in Kitzmiller with a double to the fence.
With runners on second and third and only one out, the Hawks were poised to cut into the 11-3 lead. But, Taylor Cargill, the smallest player on the field, made a running catch from centerfield to hold Wight and Logan on base. Then, Kuelling snared a hard shot down the third-base line to close out the inning. “We did nice job everywhere - pitching, fielding, hitting,” Snider said. Kaylee Kloster ended the game via the 10-run rule with a double, scoring Smith. Moments earlier, No. 8 hitter Broshous, tripled and came home on a Smith blooper over shortstop Wight. “It was a bad day for a game,” ReVelle said. “The girls were trying, but weren’t super sharp. With how the season has gone, I don’t even feel like we’ve got started yet.” The Hawks fell to 3-8 and like most everyone else, is behind in games and practices. Additionally, ReVelle felt her team didn’t have sufficient offseason participation. “I really have no idea where we are headed,” ReVelle said. “Sometimes, a rough season like this can be a positive. At the end of the day, sports can be used to make a team stronger. Oregon rightfielder Lauren Montavon catches a fly ball for an out during an April 21 game at No matter what has happened, Forreston.

Rochelle, Winnebago dominate at Landers-Loomis Invitational Hawks finish 10th By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com It was all Rochelle and Winnebago at the Oregon Landers-Loomis Girls Track Invitational on April 20. The 2A Hubs won all four relays on its way to the team title with 121 points. Winnebago was next with 107, with the next closest team (Rock Island Alleman) at 67 points. Oregon scored 20 points to place 10th out of 14 schools. The top finish for the Hawks came in the shot put, with both Meredith Gelander and Brenna Noon placing. Gelander took

third with a 33-4 effort and Noon was fifth at 32-7. The winner, nationallyranked Chloe Lindeman of Fulton, set a meet record of 45 feet. She has thrown close to 50 feet, which ranks among the top mark ever in Illinois. In the 300 hurdles, Hawk sophomore Cynthia Nyderek had a 52.94 clocking to place fourth. Byron’s Tamya Vaultoburg won both hurdle races with time of 16.95 and 49.91. Lydia Cermak was an Oregon’s double placer. She long jumped 15-feet-3 for fifth place and ran a leg on the 1,600-meter relay that took sixth. Joining Cermak were
Breanna DeHaan, Lyndi Kenney and McKenna Tremble. Rochelle won with a time of 4:15 and Oregon had a 4:44. The Hawks also placed in the 800 relay. Cristina Tranchina, Jaydn Bothe, Erin Schmidt and Tremble ran 1:58.39 for fifth place. Rochelle won at 1:50.95. In the 400 relay, Rochelle set a meet record of 50.67, with ‘Bago second at 52.20. The Hubs dominated races, as exemplified by a 1-2 finish in the 400 run, with 4-event winner Jacie Wyatt finishing three seconds ahead of the field. On Thursday, Oregon competes in the Winnebago Invitational, before the conference meet a week later.

State champions Easton Bianchi of Newman and Bret Dannis of St. Bede were missing from the Rock Falls Invite on April 20, but there was plenty of star power from Brady Webb and AJ Christensen of team champion Forreston-Polo, Ian Hussung of Oregon, and Dawson Smith of Rock Falls. Webb went 22-feet, 2 1/2 inches in the long jump, just missing Jose Oquendo’s meet record of 22-4 and the Polo school record of 22-5. Then, after running a leg on a first-place 400-meter relay, he nipped 200-meter champ Connor McBride of Newman at the tape in the 100 meters, 11.08 to 11.10. He capped his night off with a leg on the winning 1,600 relay. “I feel confident about getting 23 feet, maybe next week at Oregon,” Webb said. “In the 100, I didn’t have the greatest start, but the conditioning we do really helped.” Bianchi had to sit out the meet due to a hip flexor. His
twin brother, Cade, was also out for a hamstring. “That’s half of our sprint relays, so we didn’t run a 400 or 800 relay,” Newman coach Andy Accardi said. “Easton has been bothered by the hip flexor for a week and a half, and the weather hasn’t helped. We want to make sure he’s healthy coming into May.” Running in the slow heat, Forreston-Polo (44.89) took first place in the 400 relay, with Cailean Davids, Evan Kelsey and Christensen joining Webb. “That was odd,” F-P coach Bob Wagner said. “With the fastest time coming in, I’m not sure why we were in the slow heat.” In the 800 relay, Joe Bowers, Reid Taylor, Davids and Kelsey combined for another F-P first place in 1:35.12. Without Newman on the track, the Cardinals weren’t pushed at all. With University of Illinois recruit Dannis nursing a hamstring, it was 1A state runner-up Christensen cruising to easy wins in both hurdles races (15.04 in the 110, 39.58 in the 300). He also had a hand in the 400 and 1,600 relays. “It was disappointing not being able to run against
him,” Christensen said. “In the highs, it was a clean race. With [Dannis] out, I just kept pushing myself.” With the bulk of Oregon’s team gone for the funeral visitation for a fellow student, Hussung was the bright spot of the meet for the Hawks, running in the 1:56s for the first time in his career. He had his sights in Chad Harvey’s school record of 1:56.35, but settled for breaking Brayden Hamblen’s meet record of 1:57.29 with a 1:56.77 clocking.
“My first lap, I was a little too fast [56.40],” Hussung said. “From 500 to 700 meters, it was the most pain I’ve ever felt in a race. I could have left something more in the tank at the end. But it was an enjoyable experience. It was focus, focus, focus all afternoon leading up to this.” Hussung came back 45 minutes later and won the 400 meters over Isaiah Moreno of Rock Falls, 52.79 to 52.99. Hussung held back for most of the race and used his superior kick to pull away. With top seed Christian Groenewold of F-P failing to make height at 5-11, Keyon Wolber of Rock Falls took first at the same height. Taylor won the triple jump (40-4 1/2), and Jace Coffey took the discus (133-10) for F-P. “With Gavin Fuchs, our best relay runner, gone for a college football visit to WIU, I thought we did a nice job tonight on the track,” Wagner said. “It shows the depth we have.” Even Forreston-Polo’s weightman’s 400 relay meetrecord time of 48.90 would have beaten two of the regular 400 relay teams.

Sports Column There’s no place like home By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com As was mentioned a few months ago, a decision was made by myself to continue living here while my wife left for Utah. I haven’t regretted that one bit and this past weekend was evidence why.
Friday found me headed to Rock Falls for a boys and girls track invite, where plenty of companionship was found. I had a chance to speak with RF athletic director Rich Montgomery about the search for a football coach at his school. He mentioned that it might be time for the school to consider an outside candidate instead of continuing the tradition of hiring from within. Rich is still at a loss to explain

why RF has had decades of losing football teams. I also posed that question to Mike Pappocia, who was there watching Newman and knows the area football scene as well as anyone. He had no answer, but it was engaging chatting with a local high-school football legend. The 50-year mystery of why Rock Falls has been plagued with a culture of losing football games remains unsolved, but it was fun to investigate it. Coincidentally, I ran into Ken Scott at the Nash Rec Center Saturday morning and asked him what his coaching plans were. Though he lives in Oregon, Scott grew up in Rock Falls and was the key lineman blocking for star running back Mike Berentes. Scott’s era was about the last time the Rockets were a force in football. He has assisted Montgomery the last couple years and said his options remain open to continue

a program that is 51-1 in conference play since 2015? After writing up the softball and baseball games, it was off to Rochelle for a benefit for the Hickory Grove Civic Center. The attraction was a 20-piece big band called Class Act II. I stack these guys up against anything offered in Utah, except maybe the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. To my surprise, it was Polo’s Dave Dahl, who I know better as a sports official, serving as emcee for the group and one of the trombone players. Another connection came from being taught how to polka by the lone female of the group. I did not know this woman, but soon discovered she was the mother of a hurdler (Jared Harrison) from Dixon that I have covered. Soon, we were watching videos on her phone of Jared’s hurdle races from the night

Forreston Pride Then, it was on to Forreston. Conveniently, there was a 10 a.m. softball game and a noon baseball game. When covering sporting events, that is perfect timing. I got to see Forreston’s new softball field, put together with labor and other resources from the community. It gives a better understanding of why Forreston wanted to go it alone in softball and baseball. This is their team, their ball diamond and the program is their responsibility as a school and town. Of any town around, Forreston takes that obligation very seriously. The only suggestion I would make it to plant a few trees for a windbreak. Here at Warken Field for the baseball game, I am observing a dynasty and what a treat that is. How often can you spend a Saturday afternoon watching

Big Bertha & Running Before heading to church on Sunday and fielding a serious concern from a fellow member about an article I wrote about 8-man football in Polo, it was off to Big Bertha’s, a gathering of like-minded runners, bicyclists and other hangerons. This intimate little club dates back many years ago when Ron Baker and a few others got together to run every Sunday, regardless of snow, rain, cold or heat. Ron’s legacy lives on to this day with a fascinating mix of social dialogue and exercise. Utah has a tremendous running scene, as well, but I could never relate to those people as much as I could to my peeps around these parts. As Sunday afternoon wound down and 224 miles were registered on the 1998 Accord odometer from travels around Ogle County, I reflected on how fortunate I am have been involved with local sports and the connection it’s given me to everyday life. That was further reinforced as I walked over to visit my neighbor and Oregon football chain-gang member Mark Wolber. He casually mentioned he may be moving soon, but only a few short miles away. Like myself, there is no other place he would rather be than around here.

Astrograph You’ll have a way with people that will help you to get the support you need to reach your goals. Express your feelings and intentions.
THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 2018 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Collaborate with people who have something unique to offer. Getting a different perspective on what you are trying to accomplish will bring good results if you are willing to work hard. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Learn from your mistakes. Let your charm and playful attitude take care of anyone who doubts you. A makeover will bring about unexpected compliments and boost your confidence. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Make some interesting changes at home that will encourage you to take up a new hobby or turn a current interest into something that could potentially bring in extra cash. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Learn by watching others. Silence is golden when you aren’t familiar with certain protocols. Don’t feel you must pay for others to make a good impression. Offer your share, nothing more.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Interaction and participation will get you where you want to be. Your contributions will put you in the running for a better position as well as bring you greater popularity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Initiate changes that will make you feel good about your appearance and what you have to offer. A makeover, self-help seminar or retreat will change the way you live your life. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Partnerships, group involvement and taking a stand against something that bothers you should be your focus. Speak passionately about what you want to see happen if you want to make a difference. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Discussions with the people you live or work with will help you sort through some of the problems you face. Learn from someone who has an interesting suggestion.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Money or helpful suggestions will come from an unexpected source. Listen to what others have experienced, and explore the possibility of duplicating the same success. An investment looks promising. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Emotional deception is apparent. Be honest with yourself as well as your partner regarding how you feel, what you want and what you are willing to do. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A partnership will develop if you get involved in an event, activity or cause that interests you. Your input and energy will attract positive people and prospects. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Keep your feelings tucked away someplace safe. Someone will take advantage of you if you share too much personal information. Emotional deception is apparent among your peers. ©2018 UFS
