“His name is Jenneis,” said Duncan. “I have talked to him before.”

The signal was logged

by Jerry Shirer, Oregon, to document the contact.

Duncan and Shirer were taking part in an amateur radio field day being held in the Rock River Center’s parking lot on S. 10th Street.

This was one of 346 confirmed international contacts Duncan has made in his 58 years of having an amateur radio license.

“My favorite is talking to foreign countries,” said Duncan. “I have talked to

Japan quite a bit and other stations in Asia. It is a fun activity.”

Duncan has been broadcasting since he received an amateur radio license in 1957.

“I lived north of Stratford and had a table Crosley radio and heard broadcasts,” said Duncan. “It was something I got interested in with a couple other guys and we all got our licenses at the same time.”

Duncan has been broadcasting ever since.

When he went to the nursing home, he received permission to have a radio

Ogle County officials took the first step Tuesday toward building an Ogle County Volunteer Corps that could be called upon to help during emergencies.

“After the April 9 tornado we decided to get going on the volunteer corps,” said Ogle County Director of Health Education and Emergency Preparedness Joanie Padilla during an informational meeting Tuesday night about volunteer opportunities. “We watched the storm on radar and knew it would not be good.”

Following the storm, thousands of volunteers descended on the county and Rochelle to offer help.

Seeing the jobs these volunteers were able to assist affected families with was the spark to create a local group of volunteers to respond to emergencies. The first meeting to form such a group was held Tuesday at the Ogle County Courthouse.

“The physical part (of recovery) is easy,” said Ogle County Emergency Management Director Thomas Richter.

Freedom Reborn is the theme for the this year’s celebration.

The festival began Wednesday evening with the crowning of the 2015 LFR Queen.

Two Oregon High School seniors, Paige Carlock and Cheyanne Terry, were vying for the honor.

Festival chairman Mark Lewis said the beer garden will be at a new location this year on the campus uptown rather than in the street.

The beer garden will be open on Friday from 5 to 12 p.m. and again on Sunday from 4 to 7 p.m.

Following the initial response, there is always work that will need to be done, he said.

Some homes destroyed by the tornado are being rebuilt and will be completed this year. However, Richter said during thunderstorms, the affected families still have fears about another tornado.

Paperwork for the storm will continue for more than a year, and volunteers could help with some of the work, he said.

“There is a need on a daily basis for volunteers,” said Padilla.

The Ogle County Health Department and the Ogle County Emergency Management Agency held Tuesday’s meeting to inform residents about volunteering with those agencies and possibly helping when the next emergency occurs.

Members of the Ogle County Volunteer Corps will be trained in how and where to access those resources and will help in many different capacities in times of need.

E-cigarettes banned in public

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com As of July 1, the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) is prohibited in virtually all public and work places in Ogle County.

Joanie Padilla, county director of Health Education and Emergency Preparedness, cited a growing trend of youths using e-cigarettes as the reason for the ban. “My main impetus for this ordinance is that youths are using them,� Padilla said Tuesday. “I’ve had several educators tell me it’s a problem even at the middle school level. I hope we can begin to get a handle on it.�

The ban expands on the Smoke-Free Illinois Act (SFIA) passed in 2008.

It disallows smoking, and now “vaping� (smoking e-cigarettes), in offices, theaters, museums, libraries, educational institutions, schools, commercial establishments, enclosed shopping centers, retail stores, restaurants, bars, private clubs and gaming facilities.

A first-time violation will result in a $100 citation for the offender and a $250 citation for a business.

Second offenses will be $250

and $500.

Businesses will be subject to a $2,500 fine for “subsequent offenses within one year for not taking steps to prevent the use of smoking,� according to the news release.

E-cigarettes heat a liquid solution that contains “propylene glycol, glycerin, nicotine and flavorings,�

Padilla’s news release said.

Users inhale the substance to simulate cigarette smoking. “The health effects of e-cigarettes are not wellunderstood,� according to the news release. “According to the World Health Organization, e-cigarettes are probably less harmful than traditional cigarettes, but the level of risk reduction is unknown. It could take years to discover if e-cigarettes vapors cause cancer or other diseases. The ban on e-cigarettes in public places is a precautionary measure to protect nonsmokers from exposure to nicotine and other toxicants.�

Padilla said via email that Chicago and “many of its suburbs� have adopted similar policies, adding the Illinois General Assembly is considering adding it to the SFIA. The ordinance covers all places in Ogle County where traditional smoking products

are banned. “We introduced it to the [Ogle County] Board of Health in May unofficially, and officially in June,�

Padilla wrote in her email. “This ordinance mirrors the Smoke-Free Illinois Act in every way, except that it also bans electronic nicotine devices every place where traditional tobacco is banned.�

The release reports use of e-cigarettes among youth tripled from 2013 to 2014.

Padilla said that was the ultimate motivating factor for the ordinance. “I believe that the increase in e-cigarette devices among our youth and the emerging evidence suggesting youth are more likely to consider a traditional tobacco product after using an e-cigarette was a key factor,� she wrote in the email.

The Ogle County Board approved the Ogle County Smoke Free Ordinance June 16, but did not discuss the addition of e-cigarettes to the smoking ban.

County Health Administrator Cindy Bauling recommended passage of the measure to keep all of the money from fines in the county.

Brenden West of Sauk Valley Media contributed to this article.

Volunteers can do many jobs From A1 application while at the meeting.

Any skills not directly listed on the form should be written on the back because all skills are needed, Richter said. “No job is too small,� he said.

Some volunteers may do paperwork, while others may

be directly interacting with the public. “You will never be put in situations where you do not know how to respond,� said Richter.

In order to be a volunteer, residents will be offered a variety of emergency training including basic FEMA courses to learn the hierarchy of emergency management.

Duncan has his amateur extra class license which grants him access to all the amateur high frequency bands. Some of the radio enthusiasts at the field day had a general class license which grants access to a restricted number of bandwidths. “You have three levels of licenses,� said Charlie Anderson, Oregon. “You need to know theory for the extra license. I have not received my extra license yet.�

A beginner in amateur radio can earn a technician class license with has limited access to high frequency bands.

Licenses are good for 10 years. Duncan said he needed to know Morse code to earn a license but that requirement has been removed from current testing.

Each person with a license receives a call sign. Duncan’s call sign is W9GD, which is why he began his contacts by saying whiskey-nine-golfdelta. “Each letter has a name,� said Anderson.

The words used in amateur radio are the NATO Phonetic Alphabet with some slight variations. “Zulu, zed or zanzibar are not often used,� said Anderson. “When you hear Q-R-zed it is someone asking to repeat what you said. The Q-codes were used in Morse code.�

Amateur radio enthusiasts gather every June for a nationwide field day. “We get together the last weekend in June each

Annual KB Tough Run was fun, muddy, slippery

By Sarah Zuniga Correspondent A day free from rain provided ideal weather for the 118 participants of the fourth annual KB Tough Run on Saturday, June 27 at White Pines Ranch west of Oregon.

A leisure hike was made available, as well as a Kid’s Sprint for children ages 9 and under.

Rainfall from earlier in the week helped make the course even more challenging.

“It was a great race.

They should have called it a mud run. It was muddy and amazing,” said runner Karissa Corbin, Oregon.

Jessica Wynn, Chana, also participated in the run. She described the course as “fun, muddy, and slippery.”

“The course is great,” said Jeannette Stender, Oregon.

“It’s tough; a tough run is exactly what it is.”

Both also commented on the beautiful scenery of the trail at White Pines Ranch.

“This is the best thing. We love doing this,” said Andee Brehm, one of the owners of the Ranch.

Other activities included a Kid’s Zone, beer garden, horsey bingo, and a bags tournament with cash prizes.

All proceeds from the day’s event benefit the KB Fund.

“The fund is set up to help people that are burdened by a medical crisis,” said April Roos.

Roos was diagnosed with

cancer in 2012. The KB Benefit was established to help her with medical expenses, but now the fund gives back to the community.

“People came out to support me the first year and now this is the fourth year,” said Roos about the event.

“It’s been a way for my husband and I and our friends to kind of pay it forward and keep helping other people.”

“We were supported when I was first diagnosed with cancer, and we just realized how much it helped us and we didn’t know we needed it until it was there. We want to be able to pay it forward and help out other people maybe before they realize that they need it.”

The total amount raised from the event was not yet available.

Full results from Saturday’s run can be found at kbtoughrun.com.

Nelson is named IAVAT Ag teacher of the year Worked at FHS for 25 years At the Illinois Association of Vocational Agriculture Teachers (IAVAT) Convention last week in Bloomington, Forreston High School agriculture teacher Robert Nelson was awarded the Section 1 Agriculture Teacher of the Year Award.

FHS principal Michael Mandzen nominated Nelson for the IAVAT Excellence in

Teaching Award.

This award provides an opportunity for agricultural education teachers to be recognized for conducting innovative programs that motivate students both in and out of the classroom.

Nelson has been teaching for 34 years, 14 of which have been dedicated to teaching agriculture.

He has been with the Forrestville Valley School District for the past 25 years.

“His greatest strength as

a teacher is his tremendous passion for teaching about agriculture and the tremendous career opportunities it offers students,” said Mandzen.

“This became evident this year when he considered retirement but, instead decided to return for another year because he is was not ready to leave the profession or the students he loves.”

Nelson is a dedicated teacher who is recognized for providing meaningful

learning opportunities for his students, Mandzen said.

“His hands on approach to learning allow students to actively engage in classroom activities designed with discovery in mind.” he said.

“Students appreciate the many different projects they experience throughout the year.”

Recently, the students completed a tractor restoration project, which was also used as a fundraiser for the program.

Forreston FFA attends convention Eight Forreston FFA members and their advisor, Robert Nelson, attended the 87th annual Illinois FFA Convention held in Springfield from June 9-11.

Members attended convention sessions, leadership workshops, and heard various keynote speakers.

Oregon mayor at First Fridays

The Jimmys will perform July 3 at the band shell in downtown Mt. Morris. Photo supplied

Jimmys will perform on Friday Wisconsin’s award winning blues band The Jimmys will open the Let Freedom Ring Festival with a free two-hour show, compliments of the Mt. Morris Jamboree, on Friday, July 3 at 7 p.m. at on band shell.

Bandleader and fifth generation dairy farmer Jimmy Voegeli brings his seven-piece powerhouse outfit to the stage as part of their busy Midwest tour.

“Anyone who was fortunate enough to have been at their last two performances in Mt. Morris and remembers the horn players dancing through the crowd and into the street, can attest to the superior quality of this group’s musical talents and showmanship, “ said event organizer Larry Ubben.

The Jimmys have been tearing up stages with their blend of blues, soul, funk, and rhythm and blues for nearly 10 years.

Award-winning keyboardist, singer, and songwriter Jimmy Voegeli has assembled an all-star lineup: Perry Weber, veteran guitarist, singer, and songwriter with an authentic blues sound; Mauro Magellan, of the Georgia Satellites, drives the band with some mighty drumming; John Wartenweiler ties it together with thumping bass lines and a deep groove.

The Amateur Horn Stars - Pete Ross, saxophone, Darren Sterud, trombone, and Mike Boman, trumpet - combine 50-plus years experience touring the world, playing with Clyde Stubblefield, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Davina and the Vagabonds, Youngblood Brass Band, B.B. King and his All Stars, and many others.

Former Cheap Trick drummer, Bun E. Carlos has made a guest appearance at Jimmy’s prior shows

in town and he’s likely to return for a third time.

“With multiple awards under their belts, and a growing legion of fans, this band makes a lasting impression wherever they play,” Ubben said. “Get yourself to their next performance in Mt. Morris and see what everyone’s fussing about.”

Keep up to date on the web at thejimmys.net and on Facebook & Twitter for show dates, pictures, and video from the road.

The Ogle County Beef Producers will be on hand selling their rib eye sandwiches and many other food and craft vendors will be on site as well.

Fundraiser held for Faridale family who lost home Daughter could not find home after tornado

By Doug Oleson Correspondent Julie Burtch couldn’t find the home where she had grown up — and with good reason — it’s not there anymore.

“There were no landmarks and I couldn’t find it,” she said.

Burtch, who is a paramedic with the Stillman Valley Fire Department, was at the station on the night of April 9 when she got a frantic phone call from her mother, Peggy Cline.

“She told me their home had been hit by a tornado,” Burtch said, adding that she knew a tornado had touched down near Rochelle but not that it had gone that far north. “She called me before she called 911. I was in shock and didn’t know what to do.”

According to her father, Wayne Cline, he was looking out the backdoor of his Fairdale home right around dinner time as the sky got darker and it began to hail.

“I heard a roaring noise like a locomotive, and I knew we were in a tornado,” the 62 year-old retiree said, noting there had been no warning of any kind. “The wind blew me out of my power chair and I fell over my wife (of 41 years, who broke her right wrist).

Wayne said only his son Brian, who was out on the front porch, actually saw the tornado, which totally leveled their two-story home.

The home dates back to the 1800s, along with the rest of the small town located on Ill. 72 in northwestern DeKalb County.

Wayne, who has lived his entire life in the house, said his mother was also raised there.

Despite losing his glasses, Brian was able to help his mother out of the house where they waited until his sister could arrive with Stillman Valley Deputy Chief Chuck Boan.

Together, they were able to dig Wayne, who is on oxygen, out of the debris.

Burtch said it took a couple of hours before her father could be safely transported to Kishwaukee Community Hospital in DeKalb, where she works as a nurse.

Besides losing their home and its contents, the Clines also lost two cars and their beagle to the EF4 tornado which flattened numerous homes and other buildings in its path from east of Franklin Grove, through Flagg Center, and into McHenry County.

The popular Grubsteakers restaurant, located at the Ill. 72 and Ill. 251 interesection, was also destroyed as were several homes in that area.

The Cline family shared their story at a fundraiser held in their honor held last Saturday at the Immanuel Lutheran Church in Lindenwood where Wayne has been a member for more than 50 years.

More than $3,000 was raised from the pulled pork dinner in what Pastor David L. Yarrington calls “a long term project.”

The meat for the dinner was purchased by Thrivent Financial and Leonard and Joyce Bruns of Oregon Powerhouse BBQ, prepared the meat at no charge.

Side dishes, including homemade pies, were prepared by members of the church.

Yarrington said that thanks to numerous donations throughout the state, even

Peggy and Wayne Cline, Fairdale, lost their home and all their possessions in the April 9 EF4 tornado. Pictured with them are their son, Brian Cline, and daughter Julie Burtch. Photo supplied

from people he doesn’t know, the Cline family has more than enough summer clothing.

What they don’t have, he said, is winter wear.

He also said it’s possible the church may hold another fundraiser in the future, but that has yet to be decided.

“We do this out of our love for God,” he said. “He has blessed us and we want to

return the favor.”

“I truly believe the good Lord and an angel were looking over us,” Wayne said. “It could have been worse.”

If everything works out, Wayne said the family hopes to rebuild on the same site on the west side of town with a ranch style house they have already picked out, hopefully by the end of the year.

Until then, they have been living in an apartment on the south side of Rochelle.

Anyone wishing to make a donation to the family can do so by sending a check to the Immanual Lutheran Church, 16060 E. Lindenwood Road, Lindenwood, IL 61049.

All monies will go directly to the family.

Pastor gets a shave to help raise funds for charity The confirmation youth of Freedom Lutheran, Oregon, were happy to host a head shaving on Sunday, June 7 after their regularly scheduled worship service.

Pastor Jeff Schlesinger lost a challenge to them and it cost him his beard and his hair.

As a service project, the youth were raising money to provide school kits for a community development center in Turnaveni, Romania - The Point of Hope - operated

by Illinois based charity Another Child Foundation.

This community development center serves children that are amongst the poorest in all of Europe, children of the Roma people.

“These children are part of families that live in abandoned tenements from the former communist regime,” said Schlesinger. “They don’t have running water, electricity, heat or anything. And meanwhile, their climate is much like Cherie Slack helps Caleb Brooks shave the head of Illinois, it can get extremely hot in the summer and Pastor Jeff Schlesinger. Photo supplied

extremely cold and snowy in the winter.”

The school kits provide materials for the preschool and after school programs run through the center. The materials in each kit would cost over $40 if purchased in Romania. The same materials can be purchased for about $18 in the U.S. during the fall sales.

But with the help of Staples they were provided for only $12 each, and that included a carrying box.

“I felt like we were being generous,” said Isaac Brooks, one of the participating youth. “We were able to donate so many school supplies.

When I first started explaining it to people they thought I was raising money for the church, but when they heard that it was for kids in Romania they were impressed.”

In order for Schlesinger to shave his beard, the youth had to raise enough for 21 kits, or three per youth who were participating in the service

project.

It took 35 kits for him to shave his head and if they had raised enough for 50 he would have shaved his mustache as well, which he said has not been shaved in nearly 30 years. The youth raised enough for 41 kits.

The community center works specifically with preschool and early elementary children because these Roma children are behind educationally and socially as soon as they begin in the public schools.

They usually fall even farther behind and the poverty cycle continues. But the center gives them a leg up so that they can stay up with their peers.

It gives them hope – which is why the center is named The Point of Hope.

“I wanted to offer some incentive to motivate them but did not want it to be a material reward,” Schlesinger said. “The idea was to provide for others’ needs, not to do

something that will earn stuff for themselves. I’ll give up my hair so that 41 kids can be given new hope in life any day of the week.”

“I think that the challenge boosted our goal,” Brooks said. “I don’t think we would have raised as much without that incentive.”

There were seven youth who participated in the project and an entire congregation who looked on with joy as their pastor lost his hair.

Cherie Slack of Short Cut Barber Shop volunteered her time to make sure a proper shaving took place.

She made sure, however, that the youth had an opportunity to help with the shaving.

Public Voice Oregon has an opportunity for development Dear Editor, With staffing of two committees, Economic Development and Planning, [Oregon] Mayor [Ken Williams] has set in motion a positive, constructive process of community involvement to study and recommend to the city council for vote numerous matters of economics and city government that need study, review and action.

Our city has an opportunity to improve itself that, unfortunately, has in past been deferred or aborted.

Now is a pivotal time — a time to act.

All segments of our community are needed to cooperatively participate, and many representatives in strong positions to contribute have been invited by the mayor to serve and have accepted.

Opportunity to obtain positive and valuable results is at hand; prospect of that is exciting.

Thus, I am deeply troubled and disappointed that one disgruntled commissioner at council meetings displays querulous, negative, obstructionist talk including antagonism to another council member, as abundantly reported in this newspaper.

I fear that will have a chilling effect and cast a pall over, and perhaps sabotage, the good work in process, so essential for prosperity of our community.

I hope and pray that result does not occur and that, instead, proposals to be generated by many qualified and dedicated volunteers involved will come to fruition unimpeded by peevishness.

Judge Kauffmann honored

Smith Honored The German Valley Lions Club recognized 22-year member Donna Smith recently with a Lions Clubs International Foundation Melvin Jones Fellowship. The presentation was made by Lions District 1-D Governor-Elect Gary Meyers, Lena. The award is named for Lions Founder Melvin Jones and is the highest award given at the club level. A former club president, Smith currently is club secretary and newsletter editor and serves her club, church and community in various other capacities. Photo supplied

Ogle County Associate Judge Kathleen Kauffmann was honored by her coworkers at an appreciation dinner at Focus House on April 29 for her dedication and leadership to improve the lives of courtinvolved individuals, their families, and the county.

“Collaboration is critical to the ongoing success of community based programming,” Kauffmann said. “For it is the community which benefits when an offender has been held accountable and received assistance and treatment, just as it is the community that suffers if this does not occur “ Kauffmann graduated from Northern Illinois University School of Law. She was appointed as an associate circuit judge in Ogle County in January of 2003.

She was an assistant state’s attorney in Ogle and DeKalb Counties from 1991 through 1997.

In the fall of 1997, she began a solo practice in Ogle County concentrating on family law and criminal

defense.

During her private practice, she was a city prosecutor for Byron and later served as a contract public defender for Ogle County.

For many years, Kauffmann presided in juvenile court (both delinquency and child protection) and drug court, as well as a variety of other calls including dissolution and custody cases, preliminary hearings and criminal misdemeanor jury trails.

Currently, she is assigned primarily to domestic relations, hearing family dissolution and custody cases.

Kauffmann has served on the Illinois Judicial Conference Committee on Education since 2006, currently as co-chairman of the 2016 Judicial Education Conference and as chairman of the Illinois Judicial Benchbook on Domestic Violence.

The award was presented by the Ogle County Judge John B. Roe and Ogle County State’s Attorney Eric Morrow.

“Judge Kauffmann has

transformed the traditional role of the judge when dealing with cases in Ogle County,” Morrow said. “She embraces community collaboration along with rehabilitation and accountability whether working with our juvenile offenders or our drug court participants.”

Kauffman will continue to serve on the bench; she has shifted her focus to be more involved with domestic relations court, as well as hearing family dissolution and custody cases.

Roe will now preside over juvenile court (both delinquency and child protection) along with drug court.

“Judge Kauffmann set a framework that led to a seamless transition in Juvenile Court and Drug Court.

We will work together to sustain the policy and reform changes in place and further expand the specialized court model in Ogle County, “ Roe said. “I personally thank her for her continued dedicated service to the county.”

Sports season was statistically a great success Went down state in football and basketball

By Andy Colbert Reporter

For those of you that like to play the numbers game, consider this – there is only a 3 percent chance of a high school football team advancing downstate in football. In basketball, the odds are even steeper at two chances in a 100.

To do it on both sports is one of the rarest of IHSA accomplishments, with the probability dropping to .000006 (multiplying 2 percent by 3 percent).

At least that mathematical formula Jake Cunningham and I came up with in determining how truly remarkable this feat is.

Cunningham was one of a handful of 3-sport Forreston athletes present at a press conference, celebrating the amazing success of its 2015 senior class.

“It’s a once in a lifetime thing,” added school board member Don Cook, referring more to the group of recently graduated seniors.

Indeed, a championship football team, state trophy

basketballers and a firstever regional baseball crown may never be duplicated again at Forreston. But then again, where could one find a public school with an enrollment of 261 having that much homegrown talent in one class.

“It was a fast and furious year,” said athletic director Jim Kann, who had the rare privilege of organizing two welcome home celebrations for football and basketball.

“The community support was unbelievable at games, pep rallies and buying apparel. It was an exciting time and while this group will be tough to replace, they opened the eyes of the young kids in town. They were a group of athletes that didn’t think they’d lose and it was exciting to be a part of.”

Prior to this year, fans from Forreston had already gained a reputation of one of the most loyal of any community in the northern Illinois.

“The support here is overwhelming,” said Brian Stukenberg, a 1975 Cardinal grad and rabid fan. “I haven’t seen anything like this year, though.”

One of the keenest observers was the school’s leading letter winner, senior Austin Howald, who

managed 13 varsity teams.

“Win or lose, it all about the people you’re with,” Howald said. “All you need to do is love your school and classmates and that respect will come back to you.”

So much had been made about the winning records of the football, basketball and baseball teams, but Howald’s experience tells another key component about what transpired at Forreston for the 2014-15 sports year.

“We’d be lost with Austin

as our manager,” Wyatt Kerchner said.

Howald’s part was to provide invaluable services to the teams, much the same way the youthful exuberance of the student cheering section provided a jackedup atmosphere in Lanark for the basketball sectional final or the way Kann’s assistant, Pam Greenfield did the behind-the-scenes work.

The players get all the glory, but this was also about a community and

school coming together to share in it and support one another. Some of players’ finest memories came off the playing field, such as cramming 40-50 of them in somebody’s parent’s house to watch game film and eat food together.

“We’ve known each other since second grade. We have an incredible bond,” Aaron Shelton said.

Before making this too much a feel-good story, let’s remember that 2015 ended

much better than it began for a group of seniors that had been highly touted for much of their career.

After not reaching their potential in basketball the year before and bowing out to Le-Win in the first round of the 2013 grid playoffs, a huge question mark loomed over the seniors. Did they have the right mental attitude, were they coachable enough or was the competition too tough in the NUIC?

Stark County game was breathtaking for the entire team Football team won state 20-15 during first trip

Coach did not know how good his team was Even coach Travis Ross admitted, he didn’t see it coming. A berth in the state finals, that is.

“Coming in, I thought we’d be pretty good, but nothing like what happened,” said Ross, who piloted the Cardinals downstate in his first year as a head coach.

Not only did you have the transition of Jonathon Schneiderman to Ross, but there would also be a slow start due to football.

To be frank, the Cardinals struggled to find their oncourt chemistry the year before.

Robert DeVries had been brought up to varsity as freshman and was destined to be the leader of a talented bunch of kids from his own class.

“I think he was brought up to make us better,” Wyatt Kerchener said.

However, DeVries was hampered by injuries his junior year and frustrations mounted.

“When he came back, I didn’t know what my role was,” DeVries said.

When the year was up, Schneiderman announced his resignation to the team.

“We got emotional when he told us,” Kerchner said.

“He laid down the success

for us and without that, I don’t know if we would have made it to state.”

Ross allowed his player more freedoms and was blessed by no serious injuries, even from a group of players fresh off a 14week football campaign.

“With a small school like us, an injury to one or two of your kids can kill you,” Ross said. “After the first of the year, we stayed healthy.”

Maybe an assist is in order to the school’s team trainer

or the conditioning program, as well. To have success like Forreston did in multiple sports, there needs to be more than xs and os.

If there was a defining moment for the team, it came the weekend of an Aquin loss and Winnebago win.

“I started to feel good after beating Winnebago, especially the way we came back after such a tough loss to Aquin” Ross said.

“That Aquin loss hurt us,” Cunningham said.

It also gave the Cardinals more determination to win even more. This was a group of seniors unaccustomed to losing.

That chance came in what Ross and each player said was their favorite game of the year – the sectional finals against Aquin in a wildly raucous gym in Lanark.

“That game epitomizes what high school sports is all about,” Ross said.

“We played with a chip Turn to B2

As football progressed, a win over that same LeWin program catapulted Forreston to an important goal.

“We didn’t play our best game and to know we could beat them game us confidence,” Wyatt Kerchner said. “Your have to remember, we hadn’t beaten them for years.”

When playing at their best, no one in Class 1A was better than Forreston.

Stark County, the secondbest team in the state, found that out in a game that the players agreed was their most memorable.

“To travel two and a half hours away and play in the snow was breathtaking,” Cunningham. “I’ll never forget that scene the rest of my life.”

“It was the most hostile place we played,” Robert DeVries said. “Their players were great, but their fans were giving us a hard time.

I loved it.”

Aaron Shelton, who turned the game around with a kickoff return, gushed about the support from the Forreston faithful.

“Stark County had a huge crowd, but our fans were everywhere,” he said.

“We thrive in an environment like that,” said Kerchner, who also put a dagger in the hearts of the SC fan base with a brilliant touchdown catch before halftime.

“No way I thought he’d catch it,” said Cunningham.

“Wyatt had been begging for it all half,” coach Denny Diduch said.

Diduch was the mastermind of fitting all the pieces together of such a complex group of seniors to coach. Instead of head coach, perhaps a more apt moniker was Harnesser of Energy “They’re like your kids,” he said. “When they act

up, you find a way to make them more productive. As competitive as they are as a team, they were very unselfish. We had such a multifaceted offense and there could be a different star each game.”

The star that shown brightest was DeVries and it was an oratory address at the halftime of the Galena game that got the attention of his teammates the most.

“We didn’t appreciate him saying it, but he opened our eyes to how bad we were playing,” Cunningham said.

“I didn’t hear what he said.

The coaches weren’t in the locker room yet,” Diduch said.

With a first-ever state appearance within reach, it was as if each player was toting an extra 50 pounds of pressure on their backs against Galena and a 2-touchdown deficit on the scoreboard reflected it.

“We wanted to win so bad, we had all this self-imposed pressure,” Kerchner said.

The sage Diduch knew his Cardinals would win if they could stay within reach of the Pirates in the fourth quarter.

He also had faith this group of seniors would find a way to will them selves to a win.

“He told us in the fourth quarter, we’d own the game,” Shleton said. “We believed him.”

When DeVries crossed the goaline with the winning score, the weight of the world came off his shoulders and his fellow teammates were so overcome with the same relief that tears starting flowing in the huddle.

“It was an indescribable feeling,” Cunningham. “Not just for us in that huddle after Robert scored. I know there were people crying in the stands too.”

So many times, the journey is more enjoyable than the final destination and that was the case with the anticlimactic win over Carrollton in the state finals.

“One thing that stands out is we won 20-15 and that is also our graduation year,” pointed out Shelton.

Kuelling to play football at Millikin Kendal Kuelling, Forreston, has indicated he plans to attend Millikin University, Decatur, and play football for Big Blue Head Coach Patrick Etherton.

Kuelling plans to major in Business.

“We are very excited that Kendal has decided to continue his academic and football career at Millikin University,” said Etherton.

“Kendal had an outstanding senior season and we look for him to continue that success

at Millikin.”

Kuelling played high school football at Forreston High School. As a senior he earned All-Conference First Team honors on the defensive line recording 85 tackles with four sacks. At tight end, he had four catches for 102 yards.

Etherton is looking for several talented recruits to join Millikin’s solid group of returning players. Entering his fifth season, Etherton is determined to return Millikin

to its winning tradition and bring excitement to Big Blue football.

Millikin University is one of the nation’s leading institutions of performancebased learning. It is a private, residential university serving approximately 2,200 students in undergraduate and graduate programs offered during the day and evening.

Students learn in an engaged, integrated and performance-learning

environment that promotes hands-on opportunities in over 50 majors from the College of Fine Arts, College of Arts & Sciences, College of Professional Studies and Tabor School of Business.

Millikin’s campus life features 21 NCAA Division III athletics teams, intramural sports, a dynamic Greek Life community and more than 90 student organizations.

For more information, contact millikin.edu.

Players were not satisfied with result From B1 on our shoulder that night,” Kerchner said. “And, what an atmosphere.”

Like the state game in Forreston’s Kaleb Reining and Kendal Kuelling react to championship earning a trip to the state football final. Photo by Chris football, the super-sectional and state finals were Johnson

somewhat anticlimactic to the sectional tournament.

To this day, none of the players are satisfied with their performance in Peoria.

What they are satisfied with, though, was spending an awesome weekend with

some of the best buddies in the world.

“We love each other. I’m looking forward to class reunions already,” said Kerchner, the star of the super-sectional win.

Perhaps DeVries put

the whole experience best, whether it was playing football, basketball or baseball.

“It was like one big family get together all year long and we were lucky enough to be a part of it,” he said.

Rain caused several games to be played in the mud

By Larry Loomis Once again weather played a prominent role in this past week’s action.

Monday’s games were rained out entirely and field conditions were less than desirable for much of the rest of the week.

June 23 saw two games played on a muddy field. In game one, Polo’s undefeated Senior Division team hosted a team from Dixon.

Dixon picked up two runs in their half of the first to take a quick 2-0 lead. After that half inning, Dixon would never lead again as Polo went on to post an 18-7 win in just four and one half innings under the ten-run rule.

After briefly trailing, Polo put six runs on the board in their half of the first.

Four errors following a leadoff walk to Cassie Bushman and a hit batsman along with a single by Ally Rhodes accounted for all the runs and an early lead that Polo would never relinquish.

Leading 12-7 going into the fifth, Polo administered the coup de grace with five runs in the bottom of the inning. Alyssa Shore drew a walk to open the inning.

Bushman was hit by a pitch to put runners on the corners after a Shore steal. Amber Henson then smashed a triple to deep left center to drive in Shore and Bushman.

Zoie Sellers then walked.

Emily Boelens drilled a double to left. Lexi Cox reached on a three base error that scored the two runners ahead of her and then Cox scored on an infield out to end the game.

For the evening, Polo had seven hits with Boelens collecting three of those hits.

Lexi Cox reached base three times due to errors on balls hit by her.

Dixon collected five hits.

Kaitlyn Marschang picked up her first win of the campaign in as many starts.

In game two, Polo’s Tiny Miss team hosted Pearl City and came away with a thrilling 6-5 win.

Polo picked up a run in the bottom of the first to take a brief 1-0 lead.

Alayna Young singled with one away. Young went to third on a two base error and later scored on a single

by Leah Calderon.

Pearl City quickly responded in the top of the second. Three back-to-back

singles and two infield outs resulted in the visitors scoring a pair of runs to take a 2-1 lead.

Once again, however, Polo came right back to take the lead again with three runs in the bottom of the frame.

Avalyn Henry led off with a single. Ellie Merrell singled as Henry went to third. Following two strikeouts, Riley Wiggins singled in Henry.

An error on a ball hit

by Ravyn Dixon allowed Merrell to score. Moments later, Ariel Foster singled to score Wiggins with the final Polo run of the inning to give Polo a 4-2 lead after two innings.

Polo would add two more runs in the bottom of the fourth to go up 6-2. Leah Tobin reached on a fielder’s choice and then went to second on a single by Leah Calderon.

An out and an error later saw both Tobin and Calderon score as Polo went up by four.

Polo’s four-run lead would be unchallenged until the top of the sixth inning when Pearl City mounted a comeback. With one down in the inning, a guest batter reached on an error.

Following a strikeout, and with two down, three consecutive singles and an error saw the visitors push three runs across and have the tying run on third when the final batter went down on a fielder’s choice to end the inning to give Polo a hard fought 6-5 victory.

Polo had 11 hits for the game to 13 for Pearl City.

Alayna Young, Leah Tobin and Avalyn Henry each had two hits.

Rain intervened again on Wednesday so there were no games played.

Thursday’s action had undefeated Stillman Valley Two coming to Polo to face undefeated Polo One in Junior Division play.

Polo would pick up two runs in the bottom of the first and were never headed as they cruised to an 11-1 win.

Polo’s offense scored in all but one of the five innings played. Their biggest inning came in the second. With the score at 2-0, Polo, the home town ladies put four runs on the board in the second.

Three base on balls and singles by Jasmine Badon, Marah Blake and Alex Dusing along with two infield outs saw Polo go up

by a 6-0 score.

Polo was on cruise control the rest of the way. Harper Clark, while having a couple of down moments was primarily in charge of the pitching from the beginning.

She struggled briefly with control problems in a couple of innings but overall was in command. She surrendered a solo run in the third and that was it.

A solid defensive effort behind Clark managed to shut down a powerful Stillman offense for most of the evening.

On the evening, Polo had 10 hits while Clark threw a no-hitter against the guests.

Marah Blake led the offense with three singles.

She was backed up by a two-hit night from Jasmine Badon and Nicole Boelens.

On June 26, Polo’s Tiny Miss team hosted Stockton and came away with a come from behind 5-4 win.

The game was scoreless through three innings of play. Then, in the top of the fourth, Stockton scored a solo run to take a 1-0 lead.

Polo came right back with a run of their own in the bottom of the inning. Leah Calderon singled to open the inning. An error on a ball hit

by Avalyn Henry allowed Calderon to go to third while Henry went to second.

An infield out allowed Calderon to score the tying run before Stockton shut down Polo to end the inning.

In the top of the fifth, Stockton appeared to ice the game as they posted a three spot to bolt to a 4-1 lead.

Polo’s offense had been quiet for most of the game, so a three-run lead appeared to give the visitors a good chance of winning.

Polo’s ladies, however, had other ideas and began a comeback that would see them go over the top with a win. Bevi Foster led off the fifth for Polo by reaching second on a two-base error.

Ellie Merrell pushed Foster to third with a single.

Foster would then score on an error committed on a ball hit by Lydia Kelly.

Polo appeared ready to score at least one perhaps two runs to tie the game but could not get the key hit as Stockton held on to maintain a 4-2 lead heading into the sixth and final inning.

Stockton went down without a whimper in their half of the inning. Three strikeouts highlighted the inning.

So, Polo came back in their half of the sixth needing two to tie and three to win the game and three runs they got to take the victory.

Leah Calderon singled to open the inning. Avalyn Henry followed with a single to send Calderon to third.

An infield out scored Calderon as Henry went to third on the play. Leah Tobin then singled in Henry to tie the game at four.

A single by Alayna Young put the winning run on third win just one out. Then, following a strikeout, Bevi Foster came to the plate with a chance to win the game with a hit. Foster ran the count to two strikes and then lashed a hit to left field to bring in Tobin as Polo took a thrilling 5-4 win.

Polo had thirteen hit in their win. Stockton collected eleven hits. Polo was paced

by Leah Tobin who had three hits in three times at bat.

In the evening’s finale, Polo Two hosted Polo One in Carroll County League Little Miss action.

Polo Two jumped off to a 6-0 lead after a half inning of play and were never headed as they took a 19-4 win.

As has been the case all season, Polo One struggled with pitching and such was the case again on June 26.

Polo Two did not have a hit in putting up 19 runs but were issued a whopping 23 walks while having two batsmen hit by pitches.

While Polo One struggled to find the plate, Polo Two’s Lindee Poper pitched a solid two innings by striking out three and not giving up a hit.

By the end of two, Polo Two had a 12-0 lead and brought in Elleanna Wells to get some work in.

She gave up six runs and struggled to find the plate but Polo Two’s lead was too great for Polo One to overcome.

Poper came back in for the fourth as the game ended under the time limit. She struck out three of the five batters she faced.

Polo One of the Junior Division continued their winning ways against an undermanned Oregon Two squad late in the week.

Oregon Two had just the minimum of seven players when they faced off against Polo One. Oregon picked up a solo run in the top of the first to take an early but brief lead at 1-0.

Polo One would put a five spot on the board in the

bottom of the inning enroute to a 15-4 decision.

Walks were the main offense for Polo. They would not get a hit the entire evening and did not need one as Oregon struggled to find the plate all evening.

Mix in a pair of hit batsmen and that was all that was needed as Polo took the win in just three and one half innings under the mercy rule. Natalie Nelson took the win.

Saturday, June 27, Polo’s Tiny Miss hosted Savanna in a makeup game.

This contest turned out to be an exciting contest as the visitors took a close 10-9 win. Savanna quickly jumped off to a 4-0 lead as four back-to-back singles, an infield out and an error saw the guests take charge early.

Savanna led 5-0 in the bottom of the second when Polo picked up their first two runs of the game. With one away, Leah Tobin singled.

Mazy Queckboerner singled as Tobin went to third. With two down, singles by Avalyn Henry and Lydia Kelly brought in Tobin and Queckboerner to make the score 5-2 after two innings.

The guests picked up a solo run in the top of the third. Polo got that run back in the bottom of the inning as Ravyn Dixon singled to open the inning and went to third on an error committed on a ball hit by Alayna Young.

Dixon then scored on a single by Bevi Foster.

Through three innings, Polo continued to trail by a 5-3 margin.

Savanna struck for three runs in the top of the fourth.

Four singles and an error led to the visitors’ rally that saw then go back out on top by a score of 9-3.

At this point, things were not looking up for Polo but the girls managed to stage a rally with four runs in the bottom of the fourth.

Tobin doubled to lead off the inning. Queckboerner singled to score Tobin.

Three singles sandwiched around an out saw Gracee McGinn, Avalyn Henry and Nevaeh Hall all score runs as Polo closed the score to 9-7 serving Savanna notice that Polo was not about to give up.

The guests picked up a solo run in the top of the fifth which would prove to be their final run of the

game as the advanced their lead to 10-7.

Polo answered with a solo run in the bottom of the inning. Then, in the bottom of the sixth, with the score 10-8, Polo made a run at Savanna.

Gracee McGinn singled to open the inning. Henry also singled with McGinn going to third.

Lydia Kelly singled to score McGinn to close the score to 10-9 and the tying run at third with no outs.

Things were looking up for Polo and it looked like they might pull off another late inning rally to pull out a win.

Unfortunately, that would not be the case as the next three batters struck out as Savanna held on for a 10-9 win.

For the game, Polo collected 15 hits to 19 for the visitors. With that game, the Tiny Miss along with the Little Miss teams headed into tournament play the week before the July 4 weekend and pending weather conditions results of those game will appear next week.

A pair of games was reported in from on the road for the week of June 14 through 20.

June 16, Polo One travelled to Savanna for a makeup game in Little Miss play.

Savanna took an early 6-0 lead and went to post a 12-8 win. Polo loaded the bases in the top of the first but could not score.

Savanna then came out and took advantage of seven walks and an error to grab a 6-0 lead.

Polo managed to pick up three runs in the top of the second to cut the host’s lead to just three at 6-3 midway through two.

Again the base-on ball allowed Polo back in the game. A sharp hit by Adrianna Tobin led to her being put out at first but two runs scored on the play.

Then, two more walks led to the third and final Polo run of the inning.

Polo would score five runs in the third inning on several walks and an Alissa Marschang single along with a hit batsman.

After three innings of play, Polo led 8-6. Things were looking up for Polo but not for long as walks got them in trouble in the fourth inning allowing Savanna to score six runs to cop the win by a 12-8 score as time expired.

Three hurt in seven-vehicle crash on I-39 Two semi-tractor trailers, four cars, truck involved

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Three people were injured Monday afternoon in sevenvehicle crash on Interstate 39 approximately a mile south of Ill. 64.

According to a news release from the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department, the crash involved two semi tractor-trailers, four cars, and a pick-up truck.

Semi-driver Jeffrey E. Straw, 55, Wild Rose, Wisconson, was airlifted by React helicopter to Rockford Memorial Hospital.

The other semi-driver, Dusty A. Hogan, 56, Clayton, and the driver of one of the cars, Cheryl Wisdon, 68, Aurora, were transported by ambulance to Rochelle Community Hospital for minor injuries.

The news release said the initial investigation revealed that a 2003 Kenworth semi tractortrailer driven by Straw was southbound on I-39 shortly after 3 p.m. when he struck the rear of a 2015 Volvo semi tractor-trailer driven by Hogan, causing both semis to lose control.

As the two semis traveled out of control, five other vehicles became involved in the crash, including a 2015 Hyundai Sonata driven by Wisdon; a 2007 Mercury Grand Marquis driven

by Timothy Shipley, 54, Harvard; a 2014 Mazda CX 5 driven by Della Schuck, 67, Radisson, Wisconsin; a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado driven by John Allen, 58, Fort Wayne, Indiana; and a 2009 Toyota Camry driven by Giuseppe Paolucci, 58, Claredon Hills.

The crash occurred in rain in a construction zone, just south of the Bethel Road overpass.

The southbound lanes on I-39 were closed for just over three hours. Traffic was backed up for several miles for at least an hour following the accident.

The accident remains under investigation, and citations are pending.

Sheriff’s deputies were assisted at the scene by the Illinois State Police Districts 1, Sterling, 15, Oakbrook,16, Rockford, and the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Another semi tractor-trailer was involved in the crash a short distance north of the first accident.

Diesel fuel spilled from the truck when the fuel tank ruptured. That driver was not injured.

Alliance advises residents to leave fireworks to professionals As Independence Day celebrations near, the nonprofit Illinois Fire Safety Alliance (IFSA), based in Mt. Prospect, warns Illinois residents of the dangers of fireworks and sparklers and advises them to leave fireworks to the professionals.

Consumer fireworks are illegal in Illinois, but each year tens of thousands of residents are found testing the law, sometimes leading to

severe burns and injuries and costly fires.

According to the National Fire Protection Association: In 2013, 11,400 fireworksrelated injuries were treated in emergency rooms in the United States, an increase of 31 percent from 2012.

Forty percent of those injuries occurred to children under the age of 15.

In 2011, fireworks caused an estimated 17,800 reported

fires, including 1,200 structure fires, 400 vehicle fires, and 16,300 outside and other fires.

On Independence Day in a typical year, fireworks account for two out of five of all reported fires, more than any other cause of fire.

The risk of fire death relative to hours of usage is higher for fireworks than for cigarettes, making fireworks the riskiest consumer product

Although sparklers are legal for consumer use in Illinois, they too should be a major cause for concern because they burn at up to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit.

Each year, they cause burn injuries to more than 3,500 children and adults in the U.S. “Sparklers are often viewed by the public as a ‘safe’ alternative to fireworks, so many adults place sparklers in the hands of children and

are unaware of the dangers.

The heat is enough to melt glass or even aluminum and easily causes third-degree burns to humans,” states IFSA Executive Director Philip Zaleski.

“Independence Day should be a cause for celebration, but it should be celebrated in a safe manner that does not put people’s health and lives at risk,” adds Zaleski. “If you want to see fireworks, go to

a public show that is operated by professionals.”

Astrograph Start Fresh Thursday July 2, 2015 CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Social gatherings will be a unique source of entertainment.

Noticing how people react in various situations will give you insight into your own behavior.

You’ll connect with someone who wants to collaborate with you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Overindulgence will lead to neglect. There are lots of groups that will help you get back on track with healthy food choices and exercise. Friends will provide support and motivation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Start fresh. Join a group, club or organization that will provide an interesting diversion from your daily grind. If dancing or art lessons are not your thing, try out a new sport.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Be careful what you say. You will be upset and disappointed if someone you have trusted reveals personal details. Don’t allow anyone to take advantage of you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Others will be more than willing to cooperate if you let them. Trying to do too much on
