Graduates told change is a good thing in life By Chris Johnson Reporter Sixty-six seniors crossed the stage Sunday afternoon and became graduates of Forreston High School. These graduates were led by valedictorian MacKenzie Heinz. “I can not believe that this day has finally come. I thought it would never come,” said MacKenzie. “Many people are terrified of change, they do not like to change. We like to stay in our comfort zone. Thank goodness our class has changed.” She said in eighth grade the class had monthly talks with principal Travis Heinz, her father. “He told us we were the worst class Forreston has seen,” MacKenzie said. “That got you down and you started thinking. He would

of course, got first,but that always happens.” She said the class had changed for the better over the past four years, and that change will continue in the future. “Your lives are going to completely change the next two years,” said MacKenzie. “If you are an athlete do not be afraid to try drama. If you are an art person try an intramural. When you try new things your perceptions and ideas will change. Your life will become richer.” When MacKenzie finished it was time for her father Travis to address the graduates. “She is very smart. She stole her father’s speech,” Travis joked. “But I am going to go a bit from the heart.” He said the class of 2015 was one of the most Forreston graduate Gregory Eytalis was all smiles during Sunday’s commencement.

Rain fails to deter lawn enthusiasts from jamboree By Chris Johnson Reporter

A blend of passionate owners and unique tractors were not deterred by rain on Saturday. Hundreds of garden tractors were on display at the annual AJ’s Garden Tractor Jamboree on May 16. Rick Beem, Monticello, Iowa, was taking the rain in stride as he wiped down his 1987 Cub Cadet Diesel to make it look good for the show. “This is my first time here,” said Beem. “It is a gathering of like-minded people today.” A small tent over the garden tractor kept most of the rain off. When asked why he chose a Cub Cadet, he had a simple
response. “I like them all,” said Beem. “But, I started with Cub Cadets.” Just down the row from the Cub Cadet was a pair of interesting tractors. A 1962 Farm Hand and a 1975 JC Penny. These two unique tractors were owned by Marvin Stinebaker, Riverton. “Jacobson built the Farm Hand,” said Stinebaker. “I only know of six in the country and I am trying to find more of them.” The tractor was just restored and Saturday was one of the first shows that it has been displayed at. Decals were remade to match the originals. “This tractor needed to be restored,” said Stinebaker.
Restoration was equal parts love of garden tractors and the fact that the Farm Hand is a unique vehicle. Two tractors down was the JC Penny garden tractor. “Simplicity made the tractor for JC Penny for one year in 1975,” said Stinebaker. “It was built for them.” Many companies requested a custom store brand garden tractors but Stinebaker said a JC Penny tractor is not very common. AJ’s Garden Tractor Jamboree kicked off with the traditional parade around the jamboree grounds. The event each May brings out a blend of colorful garden tractors that are displayed and used during the event.
Bison Boom Herd is already helping prairie at the Grasslands By Earleen Hinton General Manager Yes, yes, all the buzz may be about the baby bison boom at Nachusa Grasslands, but the real excitement is what the grown ups are already doing to help restore the prairie. “It’s been super exciting ever since the bison arrived and we are already starting to see success from bison grazing,” said restoration ecologist Cody Considine. “It looks like the bison are eating the grasses around the spring flowers and that’s pretty cool.” While the recent inclusion of the big prairie mammals may be what’s driving
new people to the Nature Conservancy’s 3,500-acre Grasslands, located east of Dixon and south of Oregon, it is the delight in the details that inspires Considine and other Grasslands volunteers who have spent years and hundreds of hours pulling invasive plants, collecting prairie plants seeds, burning, and replanting. “Already we can see where the prairie plants are doing better based on where and what the bison are eating, but from a science research point of view, this study will take several years. Right now, it is very evident they are avoiding the forbs (flowers) and eating the grass,” he said. Bison were reintroduced to the Grasslands in October 2014 when Considine and Bill Kleiman, preserve manager, and Grassland volunteers, made three trips totaling nearly 3,500 miles

to transport cows and bulls from established herds in Iowa and South Dakota to the Grasslands. The Grasslands’ herd is the first to live at a TNC preserve east of the Mississippi and also the first conservation herd in Illinois—with a primary purpose of helping the prairie thrive. And so far, the bison seem

be fitting well into their new home. The first calf was born in early April, followed by 10 soon after. “As of last Saturday, we now have 11 new calves,” said Considine. “We now have 41 in the herd.” The bison, and their calves, have also meant an increase in visitors driving by the bison enclosure, to catch a

glimpse of the new additions. The Grasslands kiosk, located on Lowden Road, offers maps of the Grasslands including where the bison are located. “People are excited about the bison. Now people can come here and learn more about what we do and how they can contribute. They may or may not be able to see
the herd, depending on where they are at. This isn’t a zoo. These are wild animals,” said Considine. Sometimes the herd can be seen grazing on the west side of Lowden Road or from the north side of Stone Barn Road or south from Flagg Road.

He is more than an athlete, he is a thoughtful and kind person.” Diduch said MacKenzie can take a negative and turn it into a positive. She also recalled several small traits about many of the students that she taught the past five years. “Who you are is more important than a label,” she said.

Only yard waste may be burned By Reita Nicholson Administrative Assistant Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department With spring in full swing, the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department (OCSWMD) has some helpful reminders for recycling and managing waste from your clean-up projects. The OCSWMD funds and maintains six recycling stations around the county. They are located in Byron, Forreston, Monroe Center, Polo, Oregon, and Rochelle. Bins are also located in Hillcrest and at the Orchard Hills Landfill, Davis Junction. These are co-mingled bins which means you can place aluminum and steel cans, glass, plastic, paperboard, cardboard, office paper, and newspaper into the bins. These bins are for residents who do not have curbside recycling and the OCSWMD asks that all boxes and plastic jugs be flattened. These bins are intended for residential use, for businesses wanting to recycle, contact the OCSWMD. Do not place items into the bins which are not accepted. The OCSWMD also runs a monthly electronic take back program. Electronics will be accepted for recycling the last Friday of each month from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. at 909 Pines Rd., Oregon at the County Annex Building garage. Go to www.oglecounty.org for a full list of acceptable items. Do not bring appliances, dehumidifiers, coffee makers, lamps, vacuums, air conditioners, and power tools to the electronic recycling drop-off. The next scheduled electronic drop off is May 29. Spring is also a time when the OCSWMD receives many complaints about open burning of waste. The only waste which can be burned is landscape waste which is generated on that property. Landscape waste which is generated on a different property cannot be transported and burned for disposal. Garbage, construction and demolition debris, and other waste cannot be burned and needs to be taken to a sanitary landfill for disposal. If you are going to be burning your landscape waste, please be sure to monitor the fire at all times, burn on days when smoke will not adversely affect your neighbors, burn dry landscape waste and keep the fire hot to reduce smoke. Call the OCSWMD at 815-732-4020 with questions regarding recycling and waste disposal options here in Ogle County.

Judge denies bond reduction in high speed chase case By Vinde Wells Editor An Ogle County judge denied a motion Tuesday to reduce the bond for the Peoria man who led Ogle County Sheriff’s Police on a high speed chase two weeks ago. Judge Robert Hanson ruled that the bond for Daniel H. Swisher, 40, will remain at $250,000. Swisher’s attorney Paul Whitcombe, Dixon, had asked for the bond to be reduced to $100,000. “I know very little about Mr. Swisher,” Hanson said. “And now I’m finding out today that he has another fleeing to elude charge in Peoria County.” Hanson asked the Ogle County Probation Department to do a background check on Swisher and bring back the needed information in time for a preliminary hearing on Wednesday, May 27. Swisher was charged May 13 with four counts of aggravated fleeing to elude, all Class 4 felonies; two counts of resisting a peace
officer, both Class 4 felonies; and possession of cannabis, a misdemeanor. Whitcombe said Swisher has no previous felony convictions and no history of violent crimes. Swisher testified at Monday’s hearing that he has been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and has suffered from manic depressive episodes since 1998. He said he has been prescribed medication for the condition, but was not taking it when he fled from Ogle County deputies May 6. Swisher told the court that he was hospitalized in 1998 after an episode when he took a car from a dealership believing it to be his property. Subsquently, he said he quit taking the medication he was prescribed and had no more episodes until 2013. Since 2013, he said, he has been hospitalized nine times. Swisher agreed to bond conditions that he would live with his parents in Peoria, stay on his medications and see his doctor regularly, and not drive a vehicle. Swisher’s mother Laurenda Swisher, who said she is a
retired psychiatric nurse, said she would see to it that her son adhered to the bond conditions and foresaw no problems. Hanson, however, wasn’t so sure. He said he has no assurances that Swisher will live up to the bond conditions. “I’m particularly concerned about the safety of the public,” Hanson said. He said Swisher’s actions on May 6 endangered the public, police officers, and police property. Swisher, a civil engineer who works for the Illinois Department of Transportation, had been hospitalized since the day of the chase until Tuesday afternoon. He is now being held in the Ogle County Jail. Swisher testified that he could not raise the $25,000 necessary to bond out jail because his assets are tied up due to divorce proceedings. The May 6 incident began when deputies responded to a welfare check call at the overlook at Castle Rock State Park, located two miles south of Oregon on Ill. 2.
According to a press release issued by Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle, deputies found Swisher in a parked car at about 2:10 p.m. Approximately 10 minutes later, deputies tried to approach Swisher, who then drove from the park in a 2015 Porsche, registered to him, heading north on Ill. 2 toward Oregon. Swisher was driving at a high rate of speed and swerving toward oncoming traffic, police reported. Deputies pursued him into town with emergency lights flashing. Swisher turned right on to Ill. 64 and headed east on Ill. 64. Police said Swisher’s speed reached at high as 104 mph at one point. Near Kings, approximately 14 miles east of Oregon, Swisher drove through a field to avoid tire-deflation devices that had been placed by police. He then drove back west on Ill. 64, again headed toward Oregon. Swisher ran over a tiredeflation device near the intersection of Ill. 64 and
Daysville Road, flattening a tire. He continued to drive through yards and a parking area before continuing west on the highway. After spotting deputies in his path, Swisher tried to turn around on the Rock River bridge in Oregon, but was stopped by police vehicles which pinned him up against the cement wall of the eastbound lane of Ill. 64. VanVickle said Swisher’s vehicle hit three marked squad cars during the chase, but no one was injured. Two vehicles were drivable but one had to be towed. Deputies continued the pursuit because Swisher was driving erratically and attempting to hit oncoming traffic, the sheriff said. The chase ended just a few minutes before Oregon school buses would have been on the roads taking students home. However, buses taking students home from the Chana Education Center were already on the road when the pursuit was in progress. The Illinois State Police,
Oregon Police Department, and Hillcrest Police Department assisted Ogle County deputies. Earlier that day, Swisher had been involved in a chase with Jo Daviess County Sheriff’s deputies. Jo Daviess County Sheriff’s Police said they received a call for a motorist assist on U.S. 20 at Tippett Road near the entrance to the Galena Territory. When an officer pulled up behind Swisher’s Porsche at 8:39 a.m., he took off at a high rate of speed, and the officer was unable to catch up with him. Elizabeth Police Chief Scott Toot had encountered Swisher the previous day when a call came in from OnStar that the Porsche had mechanical problems. Swisher did not appear to be well, Toot said, and but did not want an ambulance called. The following day, May 6 Toot said a complaint was called in that the Porsche was being driven erratically, and that led to Swisher’s fleeing from the JoDaviess County officer.

Public Voice Food drive was successful
Dear Editor, We did it again! Letter carriers at the Oregon Post Office along with postal employees and local volunteers teamed up to stamp out hunger in the community. I want to thank everyone who helped make this year’s Food Drive a success. It could not have been done without you. Across the country, the Food Drive – held in cooperation with the Postal Service – resulted in millions of pounds of nonperishable food collected and distributed to deserving charities nationwide. Closer to home, the Oregon carriers collected 500 pounds of food from generous donations left at mailboxes, which were then delivered to local community food pantries. For more than twenty years our local community has come together for this important event to help make it successful. This clearly shows the generosity of everyone involved with the project – people who make a difference in other people’s lives. Paula Tegeler Oregon Postmaster

Telecommunicators recognized for their response By Chris Johnson Reporter Six important Ogle County residents were on duty when an EF4 tornado struck Ogle County April 9. For staying calm throughout the disaster and helping the public, the Ogle County E9-1-1- Board presented telecommunicators with certificates of recognition May 13. “I can not believe what these people went through and how they kept their calm, said 9-1-1 coordinator Sandy Beitel. “The professionalism was above and beyond anything I could even imagine. They handled things expeditiously with the proper treatment of the public.” Beitel listened to an hour’s worth of calls that came into the center during the storm. “You guys made a perfect storm work out,” she said. Sandy Sullivan, Rochelle; Cassie Rogers, Rochelle; Brian Symons, Ogle County; Cory Beck, Rochelle; Heather Butler, telecommunicators supervisor; and Kathy Hardesty, Ogle County, were on duty at the Rochelle call center during the storm. The Ogle County call center was still in transition between the old building and the new public safety
complex, which required all the telecommunicators to use the same facility. “They did a great job and we were lucky to have this group working together,” said Sullivan. “They worked as a great team. Two different agencies coming together. They did an excellent job.” The high praise continued from everyone on the 9-11 board including Richard Mott, assistant chief of the Lynn-Scott-Rock Fire Department. “Thank you,” Mott said. “Being in the fire side I was on the outside. I would much rather be where I was then where you were. I would not have your job for all the tea in China.” The telecommunicators were also presented with t-shirts. The shirt has a tornado graphic and reads “I was the calm voice during the storm” along with their agency. A sign from Hickory Ridge Drive, a subdivision off Skare Road west of Rochelle was returned to the county and was on display during the meeting. The sign was found approximately 24 miles northwest in Boone County near Bloods Point and Wheeler Road.

Fundraisers planned for Africa trip Polo graduate Joanne Blakley (Class of 1969) has been invited to speak at an Educational Empowerment Conference and visit schools and orphanages in and around Nairobi, Kenya this summer, July 18 to Aug. 3, providing teacher training in specialized and creative education. Blakley is a retired special education teacher and has made similar trips to China, Albania, and Mexico. She will be traveling with her cousin, Caleb Day, who will be a junior at Polo High School this fall. Caleb, who was adopted at birth, wants “give back” to others as a way of showing appreciation for his adoption. Visiting Africa has been a life-long dream, and when Blakley asked if he wanted to go along, he said yes, very much. He’s bringing his ukulele
with him and hopes to lead the children in singing. Their hosts will be members of Tabernacle of Testimonies Church who oversee several schools and two orphanages. They’ve extended the invitation for Blakley to bring a team of 3 to 5 teachers and medical professionals. Blakley and Day are working to raise an estimated travel budget of $3,000 each. Blakley’s kitchen has officially been named Mama’s Muffins and has been approved by the health department as a cottage kitchen, which means she can sell baked goods at farmers markets and church bake sales. They’re also planning two events in Polo the weekend of May 29–30, with all proceeds going toward travel expenses, school supplies, and small gifts.
Joanne Blakley
From Friday through Saturday at noon, a multifamily garage sale will be held in Day’s garage, 404 Wilson St., Polo, behind the KSB Clinic. Then a Destination Kenya Walkathon will be held on the PCHS track on May 30 at 8 a.m. Anyone interested in walking with Blakley and Day, or sponsoring another walker, can call 618-6976285.
Caleb Day
All walkers receive a complimentary sack lunch, and anyone who earns $100 in pledges gets a gift grab bag. Anyone interested in going along or being involved in other ways, can contact Blakley at jblakley14@ gmail.com.

Polo-Forreston runs away with conference meet By Andy Colbert Reporter When it comes to NUIC boys track and field, PecDurand, Le-Win and Galena/ ED/ RR all have solid teams. But, as the conference meet demonstrated, those three programs can’t compare to Polo-Forreston. P-F continued its yearly domination of the league by doubling up the score on its nearest competition. They had 161 points, with Le-Win and Du-Pec tied for second with 81 in the 10-team field. “I think what sums the meet up is the 300 hurdle race,” P-F coach Ryan Deets said. “A.J. Christensen, a freshman, came out of the blocks like someone had lit him on fire. When he crossed the finish line and approached his teammates and coaches, he said, ‘I wasn’t going to lose to that kid again’. That attitude seemed to be the theme of the night. Athletes whose were seeded fourth or fifth ended up placing second and third. This team is loaded with heart and that is what allowed us to nearly double the score.” Christensen won the 300 hurdles in a time of 41.80 and one of eight first-place finishes for Polo-Forreston. P-F nearly swept the relays, winning the 400, 800, and
1,600 and taking second in the 3,200. None of the times were close to season bests in the inclement conditions at Pecatonica. “On a cold, rainy and windy night, our 400 and 800 relays, high jump, 300 hurdles and 400 were still under state-qualifying marks and I am very excited about that,” Deets said. Originally, Forreston was slated to host the meet, but a problem with procuring the FAT timing system forced the event to Pecatonica, as Pec and Galena are the only two NUIC schools with FAT timing equipment. Brad Cavanaugh had a hand on all three winning relays and won the high jump with a meet record 6-foot-3 ½. Nathan Stukenberg won both the 200 and 400-meters runs. He edged teammate Brooks Grobe by .27 in the 200. In the 400, his time of 51.32 bested the field. Grobe added to another sprint sweep for P-F with a time of 11.65, good for first place in the 100. Aaron Shelton joined those three on the 400 relay (44.03). On the 1,600 relay, it was Max Barkalow, Christensen, Gavin Fuchs and Cavanaugh going 3:37. The 800 relay of Grobe,

Girls season ends at Oregon Sectional By Andy Colbert Reporter
The Polo-Forreston girls track and field team may not have sent anyone downstate, but they got some solace in earning 11 places at the Turn to B2 Oregon 1A sectional on May 15. “What a perfect (weather) night for a track meet,” P-F coach Terry Jenkins said. “We only had three events where we were seeded in the top six. We set personal bests in so many events. It was crazy.” The closest P-F came to advancing downstate was in the discus, where Kenzie Heinz threw 105feet-10 to place third. The top two finishers in each event and anyone meeting the state-qualifying standard advanced. The discus standard was 108 feet. Heinz stood in second going into the finals with the PR of 105’-10”.

put with a mark of 42’-4”, uncorked a throw of 115’-9” to bump Heinz from second to third. Mara Guse of Rockford Lutheran ended up second at 108’-2”. “Both the shot and discus were extremely competitive,” said Jenkins, whose last state qualifier (Mykil Baker in 2013) came in both events. In the shot put, three girls advanced, with Oregon’s Carly Stephens taking fourth, one spot ahead of Heinz. Stephens came in with a best surpassing the state standard of 35’-6”, but had to settle for 34’-6”. Heinz’s mark was 33’-3”. Another individual double winner was Naeva Groenwold in the long and triple jumps. Freshman Paige Yoder of Dakota won the long jump at 17’-3”, with Groenwold’s 15’-4” good for fifth.

Lady Cardinals season ended Tuesday with a 2-0 defeat Both Stillman runs were unearned tallies By Andy Colbert Reporter
The Forreston-Polo softball team nearly knocked off one of the favorites for a 2A state title Tuesday night in the regional semifinals. The two teams played nearly even, with the difference being two unearned runs allowed by F-P in a 2-0 defeat. Abby Peterson was magnificent on the mound, limiting the powerful Stillman team to only three hits. She also made numerous put-outs on her own, including an inningending double play in the bottom of the third. “It’s the best game she’s thrown,” F-P coach Jim Kann said. “She had so many strikeouts and put outs.” SV coach Shawn Byers felt relieved to get out of Byron with a win, especially with top player Payton Abbott sidelined with a pulled quad muscle.
“As a precautionary measure, we held her out, but she should be ready for Saturday,” Byers said. Destiny Darman reached second base in the first and sixth innings for F-P, but could not be driven home. Nor could Abby Peterson, who had a lead-off single to center to start the fourth inning. She also got as far as second, but was stranded. Katie Person also reached second. Darman and Peterson were the only players to tag sophomore and heir apparent Allison Carson for a hit. “We’ll be sorry to see Payton leave, but she’s my next pitcher,” Byers said. It was a source of frustration for the F-P faithful to see their team come so close to winning, but unable to get past second base the entire game. “We had our chances, but couldn’t get them in,” Kann said. “we couldn’t get anything going at the plate.” Another potential chance came in the seventh inning after Alex Sterenberg reach first on a passed ball third strike. Paige Peterson then had a long shot along the left
field line to the fence, which would have brought a run in. However, it was ruled foul. SV’s first run came on a single, sac bunt and F-P throwing error into right field, allowing Courtney Fernette to score. In the bottom of the fifth, Macy Weaver had a double to left field. The next SV batter grounded out, but a throwing error to third base allowed Weaver to take off for home and a 2-0 lead. “Only two plays - that was the difference in the game,” Kann said. In the top of the sixth, Darman led off with a hard single to center. Jessica Slater then executed a bunt that sent Darman to second. A fly-out and strikeout ended that threat. Peterson continued her prowess on the mound with two strikeouts to end the inning. “Forreston came to play,” Byers said. “We had trouble with them. Softball can be a funny game. We hit a lot of balls right at them.” Forreston-Polo ended the year at 15-11 overall and 10-6 in conference.

Lady Cardinals come back to defeat West Carroll The Lady Cardinals had a scare in the fourth inning against West Carroll Monday evening but fought back for a 7-6 victory in the opening round of the Byron regional in Thomson. Forreston had a 3-1 lead going into the bottom of the fourth. West Carroll managed to score 5 runs in the frame to take a 6-3 lead. West Carroll started the frame with a bunt single and an infield single to short.
A second bunt loaded the bases with no outs. Forreston’s catcher Alex Sterenberg tried to throw a runner out at first but hit the runner in the back of the helmet. The ball deflected away from first to allow two runs to score on the play. An error on a throw to third later in the inning allowed another run to score. A final single up the middle gave West Carroll a
6-3 lead. Forreston came back immediately in the top of the fifth. Abby Peterson led off the inning with a triple and came home on an RBI single by Hailey Ingram that squeaked past the second baseman. Ingram scored after a wild pitch sent her to second and a pair of groundouts advanced her the rest of the way around the bases.
Down 5-6 in the top of the sixth, the Polo-Forreston Lady Cardinals scored twice to take the lead for good. With one out, Destiny Darmon was hit by a pitch and then advanced to second on a pitch in the dirt. She advanced to third on a groundout. Peterson had an RBI single with two outs to tie the game and then Ingram had the winning RBI on a double to center. The Lady Cardinals would not relinquish the lead. Peterson pitched through a tough sixth inning that saw a lead off single to center and runners on first and third with two outs. In the seventh inning Peterson again had a tough inning to get the win. The lead off runner hit a single up the middle just past a diving Darmon. A sacrifice bunt put the tying run on second but the runner was caught stealing for the second out. Darmon almost had an over the shoulder diving catch for the final out but the ball hit the ground. This play did not matter as Peterson struck out the Polo-Forreston’s Abby Peterson pitches Monday against West Carroll in the Byron Regional at Thomson. Photo final batter for a 7-6 win.

Athletes set personal bests in Oregon From B1 at 31’-10”. In the high jump, Courtney Wolf and Serenity Stapleton both went 4’-6”, but Wolf was awarded the sixth-place medal on fewer misses. On the track, four P-F unseeded runners made it to the awards stand, all placing sixth. Lena Baumann ran 13:51 in the 3,200-meter run, Sierra Reining 2:43 in the
800, Maddie Perez 1:07 in the 400 and Justine Gorzny 53.06 in the 300 hurdles. “What’s impressive is that Maddie and Justine did that running out of the slow heat,” Jenkins said. Two relays also took sixth. The 3,200 relay of four freshmen from Forreston, Ana Snider, Abi Bacon, Perez and Reining, ran 11:11. Byron won the event with a time of 10:19.
P-F closed the meet up in fine fashion with a 4:40 clocking in the 1,600 relay. Running legs were Perez, Gorzny, Reining and McKenzie Dusing. “They were the eighth seed and ended up running their fastest time of the year,” Jenkins said. Byron, with nine qualifiers, won the sectional for the 11 straight year with 109 points. Oregon was next
with 75, followed by PecDurand (72) and a surprising Harvest Christian Academy (70) team from Elgin. Polo was 10th with 22 points “Coaches Lori Wellington, Steve Pearson and myself are just as happy as coaches from teams that have girls going to state,” Jenkins said. “Our girls were tremendous. This is how you want to end your season.”

triple jump (39-4). Thirds came from Christensen in the high hurdles (16.92) and Jessie Ditzler in the pole vault (96). Several other P-F athletes medaled, as well. “After every PR and state-
qualifying performance, their first question is how to improve upon what they have just done,” Deets said. “It is a culture that our runners have adopted and I couldn’t be more proud of the attitudes of these athletes.”
Sports Column NUIC, BNC teams to battle this week By Andy Colbert Reporter Forget about Pacquiao versus Mayweather, Bulls and Cavs, or Cubs and Cardinals. This week, there will be a far greater sports battle going on. It will be the NUIC vs the Big Northern, as the boys from Forreston and Polo see how they fare on the baseball diamond and track against the like of Byron, Oregon and Stillman Valley. Traditionally, the Big Northern has had the upper hand on schools from the NUIC, but the power of two makes it more of an even playing field. In the Oregon baseball regional, Forreston-Polo (27-5) is the No. 1 seed, with
Stillman Valley (18-12) at No. 2. This is heady stuff for a school like Forreston that has never won a regional before. This biggest difference between F-P and SV is that Stillman plays a tougher schedule. But, after playing in the football and basketball state finals, those kids from Forreston won’t be fazed by anything. Actually, the surprise team from the BNC comes from the other division. Rockford Christian, like F-P, has never won a regional, but it is 28-5 and has two ace pitchers. Another NUIC team facing the BNC gauntlet is Stockton-Warren (242). The Warhawks would have to beat ‘Bago to have a chance at RC in another regional. It’s not out of the question for F-P and S-W to meet in the sectionals. It will quite interesting to see how things shake.

And, by the time you read this, upsets could have already occurred, making what has just been written a moot point. Stay tuned and get out and support your local team. On the track, it will be Polo-Forreston and Byron contending for the sectional crown at Byron on Friday. Forreston has won track sectionals in the early 90s, but Polo is looking for its first ever. This will be the year to do it, as Oregon is down a bit and 2A Winnebago will likely fall back into 1A next year. Based upon an advantage in the distances and field events, Byron beat P-F at the county meet. But, only five teams entered. At a larger meet like the sectional, perhaps other schools will cancel out some of the points Byron’s depth piled up at the county and boost P-F’s chances. However, Austin Sikora of
Lutheran will come in as the top sprinter and likely steal points from P-F. Like the baseball regional, it will be very interesting to see how things shake out on the track. P-F is going in as the top seed in the 400, 800 and 1,600 relays. And they’ll still get plenty of points in the 100, 200 and 400. However, unlike baseball, the end game in track isn’t to be the team champion. It’s nice to do, but the real quest is to send kids downstate and P-F will be sending plenty of them. On another track note, it’s good to see Pete Brown of Le-Win back helping out that program, after retiring in 2013. In talking with Pete at the NUIC meet last week, there was still a twinge of regret about what happened in the 2013 sectional at Oregon and how it impacted the Panther’s chance for a state trophy.

Le-Win had one of the top 400 relays in the state that year and like Jim Spratt, Brown was a master at coaching the relays. In a freakish accident in that race, a Le-Win runner and Oregon runner inadvertently bumped each other batons coming around the final curve. The result was Le-Win dropping the baton and failing to advance downstate. Not only did that miscue give Oregon a 113-108 sectional win over a Le-Win program that had never won a sectional, but, the Panthers missed that state trophy by a measly four points, four points that would have easily been earned by that 400 relay downstate. Though Oregon benefitted from the miscue, even finishing a half point ahead of Le-Win at the state meet, it was a very sad way for Pete to go out in his 35th and final year as L-W coach. You won’t find a better
Andy Colbert
man than Pete as a high school coach. One comment he made to me last week was that perhaps he should have appealed the race to meet officials. Later, when watching a film of what happened, a case could have been made for L-W to go back on the track and re-run the race.

Bison busy helping native prairie at Nachusa From A1 “Sometimes the herd is where we have planned to sweep weeds with our stewardship groups. When that happens we just go somewhere else. We’re trying not to influence their behavior,” he said. Plans are underway to build a self-guided interpretive center along Lowden Road, south of the Grasslands headquarters barn, where visitors can learn about the prairie and, of course, the bison. Those additions could be added in 2016. “We hope to have a design for school groups. We really want it to be super informative,” he said. “And we are trying to figure out how to have several pull-offs along the roads where people can safely pull over to see the animals.” He’s noticed that the bison tend to be grazing on the portion of the prairie that was burned where the new fresh grasses and flowers are growing. He’s also noticed at least one large wallow pit, created by the 1,700+ pound bison rolling on the prairie. “Wallowing can also create a micro-habitat for amphibians,” he said. Just a few yards down from the wallow pit is a smaller fenced exclosure designed to keep the bison out. Inside the exclosure, a single birdsfoot violet stood surrounded by grass. Outside the exclosure, the violets flooded the hillside. “That’s exciting to see. All the blooming is outside the

exclosure,” said Considine, crediting the violets’ growth to the bison grazing. “We collected data inside the exclosure before the bison arrived. We are very encouraged by what we are seeing. Essentially, this is a grand experiment.” About the Bison For several months prior to the bison’s arrival, volunteers, staff, and contractors worked sideby-side putting up a 6-foot
fence made with high tensile woven wire and reinforced with cast iron pipes and constructing a state-of-theart bison corral. But the real foundation for getting a conservation herd of bison at the Grasslands started years ago and was accomplished through hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours that helped reshape the farmland back into a habitat that could again support bison. The bison at the Grasslands
came from TNC preserves like Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota. The Nature Conservancy currently has 13 preserves with approximate 5,500 bison. Wind Cave bison are unique because they have not been bred with cattle. They bison were released into smaller pastures until they gradually acclimated to their new 500-acre home in the North Bison Unit. Eventually, there will be about 1,500 acres of land
available to the herd. Some are fitted with a GPS chips that allow scientists to easily track them and study their habits. Microchips will also contain data about each animal including, age, weight, vacation history, and its DNA profile. How they graze and what they eat is also being studied. Their diet is almost 99.9% grass. and that helps native forbs (flowers) thrive. For example, bison dung could help the Grasslands’ ornate
box turtle population increase and become healthier. The dung attracts beetles and turtles eat beetles. Bison’s grazing habits may give the turtles more lanes to walk, Considine said. Visitor areas, yet to be built, will eventually provide areas where the general public may be able to see the conservation herd. Programming will be added to help teach visitors about the bison and how they’ll help benefit the preserve.
Above left, a bison rests at Nachusa Grasslands while other members of the herd graze. Above right, Cody Considine, restoration ecologist for the Grasslands, shows how the bison have avoided prairie plants while grazing. By the eating the grasses, the bison are helping prairie plants survive by eliminating competition. Photos by Earleen Hinton

Woman gets four years probation on fraud charge Sauk Valley Media An Oregon woman who deposited a fraudulent check in a Rochelle credit union, then withdrew $20,000 that didn’t belong to her, will be on probation for four years and must pay the money back. Linda Warrner, 53, formerly of Fulton, was sentenced May 13 in Ogle
County Court on a charge of financial institution fraud. As part of a plea agreement, one count of misappropriation of financial property and two other counts of financial institution fraud were dropped. She also must submit to DNA and random drug testing, and complete a psychological or substance
abuse assessment. According to a State’s Attorney Eric Morrow, Warrner deposited a $68,976 check from Bitsight Technologies Inc., made payable to her, into an account she had opened at Rock Valley Credit Union, Rochelle, and withdrew funds “she knew she wasn’t entitled to. She knew she had never worked for this
company.” According to court documents, the check was dated March 10, she opened the IRA account on March 13, and withdrew the $20,000 on March 14, “knowing that she never worked for Bitsight Technologies, that she was never issued a check from that corporation, and that the check she used to open her IRA account was fake.”
How Warrner obtained the check never was revealed, Morrow said. She could have been sentenced to 3 to 7 years and fined up to $25,000. Bitsight Technologies Inc., headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., evaluates and rates companies on their security measures and offers security software.

Annual Drinking Water Quality Report Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.
Source of Drinking Water
FORRESTON IL1410200 Annual Water Quality Report for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2014 This report is intended to provide you with important information about your drinking water and the efforts made by the water system to provide safe drinking water. The source of drinking water used by FORRESTON is Ground Water

_________________________________________
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.
Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.
For more information regarding this report contact: Name
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pickup substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.

This report will NOT be individually mailed to customers. However, a copy is available at Village Hall upon request. The Board of Trustees meetings are helt the 1st and 3rd Mondays of each month at 7 p.m. in Village Hall. The public is invited to attend and participate.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.
Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a or other immune system disorders, some elderly and variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm infants can be particularly at risk from water runoff, and residential uses. infections. These people should seek advice about Organic chemical contaminants, including drinking water from their health care providers. synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen by-products of industrial processes and petroleum the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other production, and can also come from gas stations, microbial contaminants are available from the Safe urban storm water runoff, and septic systems. Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. We cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Source Water Assessment We want our valued customers to be informed about their water quality. If you would like to learn more, please feel welcome to attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. The source water assessment for our supply has been completed by the Illinois EPA. If you would like a copy of this information, please stop by City Hall or call our water operator at __________________. To view a summary version of the completed Source Water Assessments, including: Importance of 815-275-5528 Source Water; Susceptibility to Contamination Determination; and documentation/recommendation of Source Water Protection Efforts, you may access the Illinois EPA website at http://www.epa.state.il.us/cgi-bin/wp/swap-fact-sheets.pl.
Based on information obtained in a Well Site Survey published in 1990 by the Illinois EPA, one potential source is located within 1,000 feet of one of the wells.The Illinois EPA has determined that the Forreston Community Water Supply's source water is not suspectibile to contamination. This determination is based on a number of criteria including; monitoring conducted at the wells; monitoring conducted at the entry point to the distribution system; and available hydrogeologic data on the wells.Furthermore, in anticipation of the U.S. EPA's proposed Ground Water Rule, the Illinois EPA has determined that the Forreston Community Water Supply is not vulnerable to viral contamination. This determination is based upon the evaluation of the following criteria during the Vulnerability Waiver Process: the community's wells are properly constructed with sound integrity and proper siting conditions; a hydraulic barrier exists which should prevent pathogen movement; all potential routes and sanitary defects have been mitigated such that the source water is adequately protected; monitoring data did not indicate a history of disease outbreak; and the sanitary survey of the water supply did not indicate a viral contamination threat. Because the community's wells are constructed in a confined aquifer, which should prevent the movement of pathogens into the wells, well hydraulics were not considered to be a significant factor in the susceptibility determination. Hence, well hydraulics were not evaluated for this system ground water supply.

Astrograph Limit your spending Thursday, May 21, 2015 You are a unique and creative individual. Start doing more for yourself and less of what everyone else thinks you should do. Regaining control over your life will strengthen your character and increase your selfconfidence. This is your year to put your needs first and reap the rewards. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Communicating with a distant friend or relative will remind you of your earlier goals. Revisit those ideas and start researching ways to get yourself back on track. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It may be flattering to be the object of attention, but a charismatic con artist may be leading you on. Rumors and gossip can fuel resentment and jealousy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Proceed slowly and carefully. You are likely to miss an important detail or opportunity if you are in too much of a hurry. Double-check your work to ensure accuracy.
