Grubsteakers owner is called a hero Tuesday Restaurant will be rebuilt By Chris Johnson Reporter

The owner of an Ogle County landmark now has a day named after her. Ava Mirtoska, owner of Grubsteakers, learned Tuesday night that May 7 will be Ava Mirtoska Day in Ogle County. During Tuesday’s county board meeting, board chairman Kim Gouker read a proclamation declaring Mirtoska a hero for her actions in getting customers and employees safely into a storm cellar April 9 during the EF4 tornado that destroyed the restaurant. “We lost a landmark this month in Grubsteakers,” said Gouker. “It has been there as far back as I can remember. Ava runs Grubsteakers and Grubsteakers is Ava.” Ava Mirtoska, owner of Grubsteakers, looks at the proclamation with Ogle County Gouker said he talked to Board Chairman Kim Gouker Tuesday night.

several people who were at the restaurant when the tornado struck around 7 p.m. “They said without Ava we would have had some fatalities,” he said. “She made sure they got into the cellar.” Looking back on that day, Mirtoska said she would do everything the same. “I am glad everybody is safe,” Mirtoska said. “It is good they call me hero, but I feel like I would do it anytime it happens. I hope it never happens again.” She said the restaurant is run for the customers and they were her first thought when the storm hit. “For a minute, I was not believing this was happening,” said Mirtoska. “I am seeing the craziness out there. Everyone was saying tornado warning. I was going like, it’s just a storm.” But something clicked with Mirtoska when she was looking out the window

watching the storm roll in. “I was looking out through the window and seeing something coming really fast and really dark,” she said. “It was still too far to see if it was a tornado, but I am seeing something dark. That second I said, ‘uh-oh, this is serious.’ “ At that moment Mirtoska told her employees and customers to get into the storm cellar to take shelter. “It was very fast and quick. I was trying to get everyone down,” she said. “I was trying to do this as fast as possible.” Following the storm the community rallied around Mirtoska and her employers. Volunteers were on the property the next morning to help clean up. “It makes me feel good,” Mirtoska said. “I am happy to be here and I am happy to be around good people and everyone who helps.” The hardest part is just beginning for Mirtoska and

Two baby great horned owls rescued after storm By Vinde Wells Editor The EF4 tornado that tore through Ogle County two weeks ago displaced and injured not only people, but also animals, both domestic and wild. Two baby great horned

owls were rescued from Skare Park west of Rochelle five days after the storm by a crew cutting up downed trees and cleaning up debris. Mark Herman, Superintendent of Education at the Byron Forest Preserve, said a maintenance crew from the forest preserve went

to the park to help Rochelle Park District workers with clean-up on April 14. “Skare Park took a direct hit from the tornado April 9,” he said. “Our crew was cutting up an oak tree that had fallen and the baby owls were in a hole in the tree.” The parents could not be

located and were apparently lost in the storm, he said. The babies, too young to fly or find food for themselves, were very weak and lethargic. Herman captured the young owls and called Northern Illinois Raptor Rehab and Education,

glove was found Students volunteering to clean up debris last week from the recent EF4 tornado found a valued family keepsake blown into a field. Zach Metzger, one of several students from the Chana Education Center, spotted an old baseball mitt in the middle of the field April 15. The glove, it turned out, belonged to Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle and was thought to be lost forever when the April 9 tornado destroyed his home west of Rochelle. “It was my grandpa’s high school glove, “ VanVickle said. “My grandma gave it to me when he died. We kept it on a shelf in our entry way. I remember as a little kid playing ball with him, and that’s the glove he used. I was glad to get it back.” VanVickle, his wife Marla, and their two children were all away from home when the tornado smashed their home and more than 30 others in the

early evening. The family’s dog later climbed out of the rubble. The field where the glove was found is along Ill. 64 about six miles northeast of VanVickle’s home. Metzger and other students, Courtney Byerhof, Riley Lee, Shane Wilson, Wyatt Doubler, Jesse Beck, Devin Phillips, and Noah Young, gave their time to help local farmers clean up debris from their fields. The mitt isn’t the only item missing that’s been found in the days since the storm. VanVickle said his passport was found in Monroe Center, his son’s sports jersey — still on the hanger — turned up in McHenry County, and several more items showed up farther north. “It seems like most of the stuff ended up in Genoa City, Wis., Twin Lakes, Wis., and Harvard,” he said. The sign for Grubsteakers, a restaurant at the intersection of Ill. 64 and 251, also was found in Harvard.

many of his neighbors’ houses was removed within days with the help of friends, family, volunteers, and clean-up crews. A week after the storm, construction was underway. “We started building our new house on Thursday [April 16],” VanVickle said Monday. “Everyone has been amazing.”

Concerns over a damaged storm sewer drain led one Forreston resident to ask the village board if the line could be fixed or rerouted. Wylie Lynch, who lives on Garden Street, told the board Monday night that the tube running under his property is broken. “I am afraid if the tube gets blocked,” said Lynch. “It goes under my garage.” He said his neighbor’s yard has a small hole where you can see the exposed pipe. “I think this is causing the sinking of my concrete,” Lynch said. Lynch said during some storms his property has been flooded. He approached the board to see what could be done

about the drain pipe. “We will talk to the village engineer,” said village president Michael Harn. “Al (Cruthis) can get ahold of Mic (Gronewold) to see what we can come up with before the next meeting.” Harn said the engineer has been in town each day to monitor construction at the wastewater treatment plant. In other business the board: • Learned about the annual bike rodeo. Police Chief Mike Boomgarden said he is talking with school principal Travis Heinz about a date. The event might be held during school hours in the final two weeks of the school year. • Learned that using the rented village parking lot for a beer garden during a Turn to A3

A Stillman Valley man was charged Monday with looting after police found goods in his possession that were intended for victims of the tornado at Fairdale. Ogle County Sheriff Deputies assisted the DeKalb County Sheriffâ€™s Department in serving an arrest warrant for Richard Burtch, 45, on charges of looting and attempted looting. According to a press release issued by DeKalb County Sheriff Roger Scott, the arrest stemmed from a report taken on April 18 when a resident from Fairdale reported that Burtch had been seen several times loading his vehicle with donated items for the victims of the tornado. A deputy spoke with Burtch who then unloaded a

Richard Burtch

stroller and a wheel barrow and left the scene. The next day, DeKalb County deputies along with Ogle County Sheriffâ€™s deputies spoke with Burtch at his residence in Stillman Valley. Found at the residence were approximately 35 brand new tubs still in boxes, with an additional eight that had

been filled with other donated items such as medicine, toiletries, and food. Also discovered were three wheel barrows, and more than a dozen rakes, shovels and brooms. Police was determined that Burtch had initially been coming into Fairdale to help a family member clean up a house that had been destroyed during the tornado. After the residence and debris had been removed, Burtch continued to come back so that he could gather more supplies for himself, the press release said. All supplies were collected and returned back to the Village of Fairdale residents. Burtch is being held in the DeKalb County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bond.

Owls will be released soon From A1 and strong enough they can be released back at Skare Park. Since the tornado, Ogle County Animal Control has been seeking to reunite pets with their families. “We’ve been doing a really good job,” said Karla Christensen, Animal Control Registration Officer. So far, she said a parrot, a dog, and a cat have been returned to their owners, and a stray kitten has been adopted. Owners are still being sought for three dogs — a chihuahua, a dachshund, and a bichon frise. A home is also needed for a stray cat picked up near Grubsteakers Restaurant, which was demolished by the April 9 twister. The parrot may not have been a storm victim, Christensen said. It was rescued April 13 when it flew onto the shoulder of a utility company

lineman who was in a bucket putting wires on a pole on Flagg Road east of Rochelle. The bird belonged to a woman who was moving from Fairdale to Rochelle when the parrot flew out of an open car window, Christensen said. “I think it was coincidental,” she said. Christensen urged anyone who finds an animal that they suspect might have been displaced by the tornado to call Animal Control at 815732-1185. Regular hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. After hours, call the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department’s nonemergency number at 815732-6666. The dispatcher will notify the warden, who is on call around the clock. “We have food and supplies, and we can offer them any medical care they may need,” she said. Some well-intentioned

Good Samaritans have tried to find the owners via social media, Christensen said, but that may not work well because the owners have lost their homes and can’t readily check those resources. Sick, injured, or scared pets may also bite, she said, posing a danger to anyone who tries to help them. The storm points up the importance of microchipping pets, Christensen said. “Even though you might think your pet doesn’t ever leave your home, something like this storm or another disaster can happen anytime,” she said. “They can’t tell us so this is the way they can communicate where they belong.” A stolen dog was found recently near Rochelle, and since it had a microchip it was returned to its home in Rockton three years after it went missing, she said. Animal Control will hold a microchip clinic in the near future.

Mirtoska thanks volunteers From A1 her son. They plan on rebuilding the restaurant. “I am working on it,” Mirtoska said. “I’m working to get back in business. My employees need jobs and my customers need a place to go. It’s so hard, with insurance, this and that, and everything.” One of the hurdles that Mirtoska will need to overcome is a slight change in location. Because of setback requirements today, the old restaurant, built in the 1940s, is located too close to the intersection of Ill. 251 and Ill. 64. “I cannot build in the same place,” she said. “I need to move it a little bit further down. So many things I have to go through. I am not giving up. I am going to work on it. “ Mirtoska employed 10 people at the restaurant. Several have received employment offers after the storm and businesses reached out to Mirtoska to see if they can help with the rebuilding.

“I appreciate everybody,” said Mirtoska. “I always know I am around good people. I can not thank them enough. I feel like I am around family with all this help. I can never thank them enough.” Mirtoska has owned Grubsteakers for 11 years.

Previously known as the Sipe’s Corner gas station and restaurant, it had been a fixture with farmers and travelers alike since the 1940s. For at least three decades, it has been called Grubsteakers, continuing to maintain the reputation of good food at a reasonable cost.

Pegasus Special Riders recently received a $25,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation’s State Giving Program. Pictured in the center are Pegasus Executive Director Zina Leary receiving the check from Dixon Walmart Store Manager Andy Neal and Walmart representative Holly Woolard.

Pegasus receives $25,000 grant Pegasus Special Riders recently received a $25,000 contribution to support the organization’s recreational therapeutic horseback riding lessons for persons with special needs. The grant, which was given to the non-profit organization through the Walmart Foundation’s State Giving Program, will go towards daily operations of the facility, the purchase and care of horses, and instructor training. The purpose of Pegasus Special Riders is to provide therapeutic horseback riding lessons and activities for people of all ages who are physically, mentally, learning, hearing and

visually impaired. Some of the benefits obtained from riding are: improved self-image and confidence, enhanced muscle tone, and improved balance and coordination. Weekly lessons include both riding and care of the horse to develop a relationship between the person and the animal, and students learn responsibility and social integration. “There are not enough words to describe how grateful we are for Walmart’s generous donation to Pegasus Special Riders,” said Zina Leary, Executive Director of Pegasus Special Riders. “The donation will help

provide for many ongoing costs such as instructor training, veterinary services, daily operating costs such as buckets, and fence repairs, as well as to help us purchase a few horses since the majority of our herd are primarily very senior horses.” Leary accepted the grant from Walmart Dixon Store Manager Andy Neal during a check presentation ceremony held today at Pegasus Special Riders’ Oregon facility. “The Walmart Foundation is very pleased to support Pegasus Special Riders, and is committed to helping those in need in the communities we serve,”

said Neal. “Through this grant, we are hopeful that persons with special needs realize healing and empowerment through therapeutic riding lessons.” The contribution to Pegasus Special Riders is made possible through the Walmart Foundation’s Illinois State Giving Program. Through this program, the Walmart Foundation supports organizations that create opportunities so people can live better. The Walmart Foundation State Giving Program strives to award grants that have a longlasting, positive impact on communities across the U.S.

Girl Scouts to collect for tornado victims Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois (GSNI) will collect monetary and gift card donations for Girl Scout families affected by the recent Rochelle tornado during the organization’s annual meeting on Saturday, April 25, 8 a.m.–12 Noon, at the Hickory Grove Banquet Center, 1127 N. 7th St., in Rochelle. GSNI’s Annual Meeting will feature a State of the Council address, induction of new board members, and amendment of current

bylaws. Awards will be presented to Girl Scout adults with significant Years of Service, along with the Volunteer of Excellent Award, Appreciation Pin, Honor Pin, President’s Award, Thanks Badge, Thanks Badge II, and Hall of Fame Award. New this year is the Forever Green Ceremony where Girl Scout Ambassadors (graduating high school seniors) will be recognized for earning The Bridge to

Adults Award. These girls will “cross the bridge” from girl members of Girl Scouts to adult members with a renewed commitment to helping build girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.

A program on Charismatic Megafauna will be hosted by the Prairie Preservation Society at its annual banquet on Sunday, April 26 at the Lorado Taft Field Campus, Oregon. Most everyone has heard of big, wild animals leaving the North for northern Illinois. Although many people fear them as being fierce, they still appeal to the imagination: they’re charismatic. Being big, they’re megafauna. Last year’s photo of a young black bear sitting in a Mt. Morris tree, eating leaves and looking like a big teddy bear, is familiar to everyone. Doug Dufford, the Wildlife Disease and Invasives Program Manager for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, will share information on the history of these fascinating animals: Were they ever here? If so,

when did they disappear? Why are they returning now? He will also share their legal status: Are they endangered? Rare? Can they be legally kept as pets? Very few photographs of them in nearby areas have been taken. According to Dufford, “It’s a challenge to figure out what you’re dealing with.” We describe managing large carnivores as managing ghosts.” People have many questions about these popular, but poorly understood, animals. Expect to have these questions answered at the program on April 26. A dinner will be served. Books and native plants will also be for sale. For information about the banquet and to register, contact Lin Vogl at ppsoc. org@gmail.com.

Kiwanis breakfast is April 25 at Coliseum The Oregon Kiwanis Club will offer a pancake breakfast on Saturday, April 25 at the Oregon Coliseum from 7 to 11 a.m. Tickets are $6 for patrons older than seven and $3 for those seven and under. The menu will be a home cooked breakfast consisting of pancakes, sausage, coffee/ juice. The Oregon Park District will be offering real maple syrup that was collected from community trees.

A Natural Resource Fair will also be held upstairs in the Coliseum. That event will include information about the many nature preserves and conservation clubs in the Oregon area. Visitors will also have the opportunity to purchase items from participating vendors.

Free oak saplings are still available for Ogle residents Limited number of trees offered The Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department (OCSWMD) and RockRiverSweep. org still have free oak tree saplings available for local residents, farmers, and land owners. The first opportunity to get trees is at the Oregon Park District Natural Resources Fair on Saturday, April 25 from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Oregon Coliseum. The second opportunity to get trees is to call the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department at 815-732-4020 and set up an appointment to pick them up. Limited quantities, 800 total, of white oak, bur oak, red oak, and swamp white oak are available on a first come first served basis. Saplings are one to five feet tall, bare rooted, and must be planted within one or two weeks. Preference will be given to land owners in areas affected by the recent tornado that hit

Ogle County on April 9. Farmers and landowners with properties bordering rivers and creeks are also encouraged to acquire and plant these native species. The trees are provided by Living Lands and Waters, LL&W, Million Trees Project. The Million Trees Project was initiated in 2007 to help further the mission of LL&W to protect, preserve and restore the natural environment of our nation’s major rivers and their watersheds. Their mission is to not only clean up the river ways, but to also enhance the watershed by planting native trees and removing invasive plants. In 2007 they started collecting and planting acorns with a goal of growing one million trees. After two to three growing seasons, the trees are harvested and replanted within towns and cities that have joined in their efforts. The goals of the Million Trees Project are to grow and plant one million trees;

to re-establish native, nutbearing, hardwood trees along waterways and within communities; to provide shelter and a viable food source for wildlife and migratory birds; to increase biodiversity; to help reduce erosion and run-off; to improve water and air quality; and to create an awareness regarding the value of planting native hardwoods. This is the first year the OCSWMD and RockRiverSweep.org are participating in the Million Trees Project. However, the Rock River Trail Initiative has been participating in the project for five years. They will have over 10,000 trees available on April 23 in various locations in 11 counties up and down the Rock River, including the Byron Forest Preserve, 7993 N. River Rd., Byron. For more information on their trees, visit www. rockrivertrail.com, or contact the OCSWMD at 815-7324020.

Solar electricity class May 3 will be a hands on event Pre-registration is required

A Hands-on Photovoltaic (solar electricity) class will be offered on Saturday, May 9 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 1230 E. Honey Creek Rd., Oregon. The instructor is an experienced designer and installer of solar electric systems. Both advanced and beginners are welcome. The class will include an introduction to a typical roof mounted PV system, grid tied and battery based systems, designing a code compliant solar system, and subsidies.

The hands-on section will allow class members to assemble a real one kilowatt grid tied PV system on site. This will include laying out the solar panels, making the wiring connections between them and wiring the inverter, charge controller and breaker switches. After connecting each portion of the solar assembly, the unit will be voltage tested and wired so it will be ready to connect to the house breaker box. The system will then be disassembled. The cost for the workshop is $20 for Illinois Renewable Energy Association

members and $40 for nonmembers, which will include membership. For those who want lunch, an additional $5 per person will be charged. The maximum enrollment for this class is 16. Advanced registration and payment are essential. The deadline is May 6. Cancellations will be reimbursed minus a $5 fee for processing. To enroll send name, email, telephone number, address and check to: Illinois Renewable Energy Association, 1230 E. Honey Creek Rd., Oregon, IL 61061.

Habitat to break ground Sunday on 11th home Ground will be broken on the 11th home built by Habitat for Humanity of Ogle County (HFHOC) on Sunday, April 26 at 1 p.m. The home at 408 W. Front St. will be the second built in Mt. Morris. The 2015 partner family chosen for the home, Elias

and Betty Sotelo and their daughters Maya and Kiana, were introduced April 17 at HFHOC’s 13th annual prime rib dinner and fancy dessert auction. Also in attendance were several other Habitat homeowners including Troy and Sarah McCauley (2008),

Michelle Almassey (2012), and Jennifer Larsen (2014). This year the dessert auction brought in more than $10,000, and $1,150 was raised for tornado relief. Thanks to HFHOC’s corporate sponsors, most of the monies raised will go directly to the next build.

Sponsors include FarrellHolland-Gale Funeral Homes, Stillman Bank, Sauk Valley Bank, First National Bank of Rochelle, KSB Hospital, Sterling Federal Bank, Blackhawk Carpet & Tile, Byron Bank, Harvard State Bank, Gibbs Drywall, Holcomb State Bank, Plum Electric, First State Bank, Kiwanis Club of Oregon, and Flow Right Seamless Gutters. Since it was founded 12 years ago, HFHOC has completed 10 houses and this year’s is in the planning stages. So far, HFHOC volunteers

have built two homes in Forreston, both of which have been sold, one in Byron, four in Polo, two in Oregon, and one in Mt. Morris. Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry, comprised of volunteers, that welcomes to all people dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. Since its founding in 1976, Habitat has built more than 200,000 houses in nearly 100 countries, providing simple, decent and affordable shelter for more than a million people.

Future homeowners help build their homes and then buy them through affordable, no-profit mortgages; their payments go into a Fund for Humanity to build additional homes. To be chosen as the recipient of a Habitat home, a family must apply and undergo a lengthy selection process. Once selected, home recipients are required to put in the a number of “sweat equity” hours by helping to build their new home. To volunteer or for more information, call 815-7326855.

Public Voice Voters made the right decision Dear Editor, Congratulations to the citizens of Oregon for passing the ambulance referendum. People believed the referendum was very important and it was passed. Also I’m happy a new mayor was chosen. The community needed a change and I hope the new mayor and the new city council caned some things that show progress in the community. Something needs to be done in the about the closed businesses on Pines Road, like the former hardware store, grocery store, and the farm service complex. It is an eyesore and disgrace

when people come into town on Pines Road and I hope the new mayor and city council can do something about the situation. Sincerely, J. Stephen Moehle Vernon Hills

Thank you for helping clean up after the tornado Dear Editor, On behalf of the highway agencies affected by the April 9 tornado, I would like thank everyone who offered their assistance in the tornado debris cleanup. There were so many more offers of assistance, from near and far, that all of the offers of assistance could not

be utilized. The offer of manpower, equipment, and services from townships, counties, municipalities, contractors, equipment dealers, labor organizations, and consultants was truly overwhelming. It is times like these that confirm the spirit of community and caring, of residents and neighbors, of the Midwest, and Rock River Valley in particular. From the bottom of my heart, Thank You.

Hopkins adds historical details Dear Editor, I am not Paul Harvey, but here is the rest of the story which was published a couple weeks ago with some incorrect information. Fairview Farm Dairy was started on a farm (located

on Lowell Park Road just one-quarter mile north of Woosung Road) in the early to mid 1930’s by J. Mason Hopkins and his father John L. Hopkins (Grandpa farmed the farm directly across the road from Dad). During the lean years of farming, they both needed outside work to support their family, consequently they went north a mile to help the Clifford Stuff Family in their butcher house. The meat was delivered to Dixon and sold direct to households. Many customers began to ask if they had any cream or milk to deliver. The answer was yes, so goes the story. By 1941 the business was expanded to a new dairy built at Pennsylvania Corners on the southeast corner, as well as a family dwelling. Mason sold out of farming that year followed by John in 1944, at which time John built a storage shed and

home also at Pennsylvania Corners on the southwest corner. Business continued to grow. The Hopkins then purchased the Tip Top Dairy located in Polo to package ice cream and store milk for delivery. A few years later when state regulations increased, Dad was forced to move to Dixon where there was city sewer and water. Fortunately, he was able to buy the Standard Dairy on South Galena Avenue to house the dairy operation. About 1958, Dad thought he had all the state regulations he wanted, so he found a buyer for Fairview Farm Dairy. Weber Bros of Joliet agreed to purchase the business. As years past, Muller Pinehurst purchased from Weber, then Prairie Farm bought out Muller. Prairie Farm is still in business today. Now, Betty Obendorf, that is the rest of the story.

Today, half of Illinois’ power comes from nuclear energy plants operating in our state. Let’s make sure these plants keep operating in the future. Some of our state’s reliable, state-of-the-art nuclear plants are at risk of closing for economic reasons. According to a State of Illinois report*, here’s what that would cost Illinois families, businesses, and communities: $1.8 billion in annual economic activity Nearly 8,000 jobs Up to $437 million in increased wholesale electricity costs in northern Illinois in the first year Up to $18 billion in economic damages through increased carbon emissions.

However, legislation now being considered by the General Assembly in Springfield could help preserve these facilities. This legislation would establish the Low Carbon Portfolio Standard, requiring that a portion of our energy come from sources that emit zero or low amounts of carbon, including nuclear energy. Include Zero Carbon, Reliable Nuclear Energy In Illinois’ Energy Future. Join our campaign: NuclearPowersIllinois.com

SECTION B

Thursday, April 23, 2015

Polo-Forreston is looking like a powerful team By Andy Colbert Reporter Could there be a changing of the guard in northern Illinois small school track and field? Going up against a trio of traditional Big Northern conference powers, PoloForreston from the NUIC, had a decisive win at the Byron Relays. Between them, Byron, Oregon and Winnebago have won the last 20 sectionals, but was no match for the P-F in the 10-team meet. P-F had 134 points to 104 for second-place Winnebago. “Polo-Forreston is the real deal,” said Oregon coach Jim Spratt, whose team finished sixth with 45 points. “They’re loaded in the sprints.” So dominating was P-F’s performance was Brooks Grobe, Brad Cavanaugh, Max Barkalow and Nathan Stukenberg won the 800-meter relay by two seconds over Winnebago, 1:32.29 to 134.39 and by nearly a half second in the 400 relay, 44.37 to 44.86. “As I filling out the meet roster, I was smiling because of all the power we have in the sprints,” P-F coach Ryan Deets. “It was nice to have some competition in those races to help bring our times down.” The 44.37 and 1:32.29 are below state qualifying and Deets knows they will only get better as the season progresses, making the team one of the early favorites to in Class 1A in the sprint relays. No one has been within two second of P-F in the 800 relay so far this year. “There was not a letdown in any of the races,” Deets said. “Every single kid took it to heart.” In all, P-F won 10 of the 18 events contested. Leading

the way was Stukenberg, who ran a 2:10 split in the 3,200 relay and then came right back in the next event to anchor the 400 relay. In the sprint medley, he came from behind to catch a ‘Bago runner with a 50.3 anchor leg to give P-F a first in that event. “I can’t say enough about what Nathan accomplished on the track,” Deets said. Brad Cavanaugh was a 4-time winner for P-F, with three relays and jumping six feet in the high jump to lead his team of Reid Taylor and Nathan Rinaldo to first in the relay-scored meet. Grobe, Preston Stapleton and Dylan Hensely won the long jump and AJ Christensen, Hunter Daws and Rinaldo, the 300 hurdle shuttle. What also helped P-F is that the two fresh-soph relays (Christensen, Sam Barkalow, Gavin Fuchs, Joseph Bowers) were part of the overall scoring, as a 400 relay and sprint medley cruised to easy victories. “This meet was geared towards our strengths,” Deets said. P-F closed the meet out with another decisive win, this time in the 1,600 relay. Cavanaugh, Barkalow, Christensen and Kevin Cheeseman ran a 3:37 to win by 20 meters over LenaWinslow. “We kept talking all week that this meet would be our first real litmus test,” Deets said. “These kids showed they have what it takes to win a big meet. Winning was one of the highlights of my short coaching career.” So much was going in P-F’s favor at Byron, that even the field event 400-relay team of Stapleton, Taylor, Hensley and Dakota Meyer took first by a large margin.

The Forreston Cardinals picked up the tournament title during the Byron Varsity Baseball Tournament April 17-18. Forreston went 2-1 for the tournament. They defeated East Dubuque 9-0 on April 17, lost to Eastland 9-6 April 18, and defeated Byron 9-4 on April 18. East Dubuque finished 2-1 also, but Forreston earned the

title because they defeated them on the opening day. During the game against Byron Brody Grobe was 3 for 3 at the plate with a pair of home runs. Jacob Cunningham and Wyatt Patterson each hit triples for the Cardinals. Nathan Schneiderman finished the game with a pair of hits and Caleb Poffinberger had a hit.

Softball team ready to break through By Chris Johnson Reporter With regional softball only three weeks away, the Forreston-Polo team could surprise everyone in the postseason. Watching the Lady Cardinals play April 16 in German Valley it is clear that the team is better then their record shows. The team has the pitching and the hitting and the ability to win games as long as the team limits minor mistakes. The game against Dakota started out well with Abby Peterson pitching. The first pitch was a grounder to the left that was easily played and thrown from Paige Peterson to Haily Ingram for the out. The next batter could have been held to a single or possibly a double, but the line drive to right field just got past Katie Person which allowed Dakota to get the first run of the game. Forreston did not let this faze the team and got another groundout to Peterson and a pop out to Destiny Darmon for the final out. Darmon led off the bottom of the first for the Lady Cardinals and hit a couple fouls sharply down the third base line before one landed in play to reach base. Jessica Slater put down a perfect bunt to sacrifice Darmon to second. Abby Peterson was seeing

the pitches well and drew a full-count walk to get runners on first and third. The inning ended with a flyout to left and a groundout to third. This stranded two runners. The second inning saw the Lady Cardinals commit a couple mistakes following a great catch on a line drive to Peterson. A ground ball to second was juggled and the throw to first was wide. On the next pitch the runner advanced to second on a wild pitch. The Lady Cardinals regrouped and had an easy groundout to second and a strikeout to end the inning. The second inning saw Forreston get another leadoff hit, this time a single to center by Alex Sterenberg. Person put down the sacrifice bunt to get Sterenberg to second. Rebeca Wilken reached first on an error to advance the runner to third and Darmon was walked to give Forreston the bases loaded with two outs. The ball was popped up for the final out which left three more runners stranded on base. In the third inning Paige Peterson and Ingram each had singles to center field. They were on second and third with only one out when they had a pop-up for the second out, and Peterson was caught on a pick-off throw to third by the Dakota catcher who was noticed

Peterson did not get back to the base quickly. Forreston put up two runs in the fourth inning to get a 2-1 lead but Dakota tied it up in the fifth and added two runs in the seventh for the win. The Lady Cardinals are showing that they can get runners on base and in

scoring position. When they are able to drive them home they will be a team that could surprise many during the regional. Forreston has been assigned to the Byron regional along with Byron, Oregon, West Carroll, and Stillman Valley.

Sports Column Concussion lawsuit has been dismissed By Andy Colbert Reporter

The IHSA recently filed a 16-page motion in Cook County Circuit Court to have a class action concussion lawsuit to be dismissed. A status hearing has been set for April 23. If the lawsuit is successful, high school football in Illinois could be in serious jeopardy. But, there is also a bigger issue at hand. That is the misdirection our country is headed in an attempt to keep everyone “bubbled-wrapped” from potential danger. Instead of allowing our children to experience life to the fullest, whether it is jumping off a high dive, working out in the hot weather or playing contact sports, we have succumbed to other measures instead, like litigation, security and cumbersome safety practices. Perpetrating this culture of fear are the media, lawyers and insurance concerns. We are told to avoid pain at all costs, and this applies to all aspects of our lives, not just in high school sports. We have made it much easier for today’s generation to not even try to do something because of the bubble-wrapping effect. By putting all those onerous safety guards in place, we prevent our kids

from reaching their full potential. There are risks involved in life and we grow from them, be it character, perseverance or endurance. It doesn’t matter if we fail or succeed; the important thing is that we at least tried, instead of sitting on the sidelines because of legal concerns, fear or a parent holding on too tight. Today’s generation is worse off than previous ones in taking risks and testing one’s limits. It is apparent in the actions and mindset of today’s youth. Another form it can take is an athlete not wanting to play for a particular coach because they don’t like him or her. To protect our child from that perceived discomfort, a parent might agree and the kid doesn’t go out for a sport. And, we wonder why the younger generation doesn’t have the same work ethic as those in the past. You can’t pick your boss, so why should you be able to pick your coach? There is also a tremendous financial burden imposed by all of the safety measures that have evolved in what many call the compensation culture. As a pole vault coach, allow me to share one of those. Starting this year, every school in the country that offers pole vaulting must have a specially padded collar that goes around the vaulting plant box. The foam pad costs $600 and it has the potential to

Andy Colbert

get in the way of poles when they are planted. Why would this be necessary when there was already a padded collar (though not as elaborate) and a huge landing pit? Research has indicated that very few serious injuries have occurred in the vaulting box. It is another case of bubble-wrapping our kids for no good reason, other than litigation and a misguided sense of safety. Ironically, it won’t stop greedy lawyers and parents from throwing down lawsuits anyway. It is also one more dagger in making pole vaulting a financial liability to school districts. That’s a shame; as pole vaulting is a great opportunity for kids to get outside those boundaries of fear that society has perpetuated on them. And this is just one very small example of a society gone crazy with absurd safety practices and legal wrangling.

Volunteers help with 4-H clubs Volunteers are the heart of Illinois 4-H, and the University of Illinois Extension 4-H Youth Development program salutes its 13,000 volunteers during National Volunteer Week, said Patricia McGlaughlin, U of I Extension youth development specialist.

Sauk Valley Media strongly urges any parent or guardian to verify the validity of the license of any facility before placing a child in it's care. *Family homes that care for no more than three (3) children under the age of twelve or which receive only children from a single household, for less than 24 hours per day, are exempt from licensure as day care homes. The three children to whom this exemption applies includes the family's natural or adopted children and any other persons under the age of 12 whether related or unrelated to the operator of the day care home.
