Schneiderman named a school administrator

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The Forrestville Valley School Board hired a Forreston native last week as an administrator at the district’s two elementary schools.

Jonathan Schneiderman, a teacher and former head basketball coach at Forreston High School, was given a two-year contract June 30 at a special school board meeting.

He will serve as dean of students at both German Valley and Forreston Grade Schools in 2015-16 and then as principal of the two schools in 2016-17.

Superintendent Sheri Smith said that Schneiderman will be dean of students while he completes his internship through Aurora University.

He is currently pursuing a master of arts degree in Educational Leadership. He

will assume the principal post after completing the degree requirements.

Previous elementary principal Travis Heinz will serve as junior high and high school principal in the upcoming school year.

Schneiderman, a 1999 FHS graduate, served as a business teacher at FHS for the last nine years.

He was the head varsity basketball coach for nine years, earning five conference championships, four regional championships, and advancing to the supersectionals in 2006 and 2011.

“Mr. Schneiderman completes a great administrative team for Forrestville Valley,” Smith said in a press release. “His knowledge of the district, community connections, and strong leadership skills will be a great asset. Mr. Schneiderman joins an experienced and successful secondary staff of Mr. Travis

Jonathan Schneiderman

Heinz, principal at Forreston Junior and Senior High School, and Mrs. Christy Garnhart, assistant principal of student services at Forreston Junior and Senior High School. Together, this team will move the district forward.”

Schneiderman said he is looking forward to his new Turn to A2

Experts trying out mixtures on statue

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Experts will know in about two weeks whether or not they concocted the right mixture last week to repair Oregon’s most well-known landmark.

Black Hawk statue restoration team members Andrzej Dajnowski, from Conservation of Sculpture & Objects Studio, Inc., Forest Park, and Amy Lamb Woods, professional engineer from Simpson, Gumpertz & Heger, Inc., Chicago, were at Lowden State Park July 1 to

inject four different mixtures of repair materials into the cracks in the 104-year-old concrete monolith.

“We have to let them set and then look at the surface and see how they performed,” Woods said. “We’ll know in about two weeks.”

Dajnowski, the project conservator, made four different mixtures of cement and lime in plastic containers and then climbed the scaffolding surrounding the 50-foot statue to inject each into the cracks using a large needle and syringe.

Woods said two mixtures were injected in the morning and two others would be done in the afternoon.

“It’s a very delicate process,” she said.

The team is trying materials with different chemistries bought from different companies to find which will be the most effective in repairing the damaged areas of the statue, Woods said.

The team also removed calcium deposits and loose material from Black Hawk’s surface.

Designed by Chicago sculptor Lorado Taft, the statue was poured in December of 1910 and unveiled and dedicated in 1911 as a tribute to all Native Americans.

Pilot recalls time during 9/11 event

Repairs begin on historic statue From A1 overlooking the Rock River and draws thousands of visitors each year.

Time and weather have damaged the statue to the point that portions of it have crumbled and fallen off.

The folded arms of the statue, especially the elbows and underneath the arms; the middle of the robe; and the vertical fold in the robe from armpit to toe are the critical areas.

The statue was encased in plastic mesh for the winter to protect it from further damage from cold, ice, and snow.

The protective covering has been left in place, Dajnowski said, because it is also rain-proof.

Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, the statue was named to a less desirable list earlier this year.

Landmarks Illinois placed it on its list of Most Endangered Historic Places in April.

Because it is located in a

state park, the statue is under the jurisdiction of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

The cost of the restoration is estimated at $825,000, of which nearly $750,000 has been raised by the Friends

of the Black Hawk Statue, headed up by Frank and Cherron Rausa, Rock Falls, through donations, grants, and fundraisers.

Checks for the restoration project can be made out to the Illinois Conservation

Foundation and marked for the Black Hawk Statue.

Donations can be mailed to Illinois Conservation Foundation, One Natural Resources Way, Springfield IL 62702.

Mt. Morris native Mike Ballard was high in the sky over the Atlantic Ocean on Sept. 11, 2001 when he got the word that all was not well in the U.S. He was piloting a United Airlines jumbo jet carrying 200 passengers and the crew from Heathrow Airport in London to Chicago.

“I’d just started my break when the first flight attendant told me I was wanted back in the cockpit,” he told the crowd at the July 4 Let Freedom Ring Patriotic Program.

Soon he received a note that gave only sketchy details, but said both towers at the World Trade Center had been hit, that it was a hijacking, and “others may be in progress.”

He locked the cockpit door and posted the plane’s third pilot beside it, armed with a crash axe.

Ballard said he was soon informed that the flight would be diverted to Toronto, Canada, because U.S. airspace was closed.

That plan changed quickly when orders came that Toronto would not be the destination after all, and three other airports in Canada were offered as options.

After consulting with his crew, Ballard opted to divert to Gander International Airport in Newfoundland.

Even that did not prove simple — with enough fuel on board to get to Chicago, the jet was too heavy to make a safe landing at a closer airport. The crew dumped some of the fuel.

They planned a precision landing, but Gander’s equipment for that was not working, which meant searching for the airport at a low altitude among the abundant forest.

“The trees were looking pretty close,” Ballard said with a grin.

They soon found out they were in line with 39 other jumbo jets wanting to land at Gander - an airport accustomed to maybe 10 planes at a time, he said.

Once on the ground, they discovered the usually cool, crisp Canadian air was a muggy 86 degrees.

They were instructed to stay in the jet, and that’s when the air-conditioning quit.

Ballard ordered the plane’s doors opened to catch the breeze, but was soon sternly instructed to close them for security reasons.

Until landing, the passengers had no knowledge of the terrorist attack, and little did anyone imagine they would be guests of the Canadians for the next five days.

Ballard said they were kept on the plane for more than 19 hours, deplaning the next morning, but not allowed to take their luggage with them.

He praised the hospitality of the Canadians, especially with little advanced notice.

All told, the Gander airport played host to 6,600 passengers and crew members, nine dogs, 10 cats, and two monkeys.

“I can’t believe how well that town took care of us,” he said.

After tending to all their needs for five days, the community put together a band and choir to play and sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” just before they left, by then in cold rain.

“It was truly an experience in my life,” Ballard said. “I thought ‘what more can they do for us?’”

Leaving at last, he said, “It was kind of like Freedom Reborn.”

The crowd gave Ballard a standing ovation.

New dean hired at elementary schools Cemetery donations From A1 role.

“I am very much looking forward to the opportunity of joining the administrative team at Forrestville Valley and working together to maximize a culture of continuous growth for our students,” he said in the press release.

School board president Denny Osterloo was also

quoted in the press release.

“This is an exciting time for the Forrestville Valley School District with administrators all bringing a personal wealth of community knowledge to our schools,” he said.

“We are fortunate to have our administrative team imbedded in our community, and we look forward to positive outcomes Mrs. Smith and her team will

accomplish.”

Heinz replaces Michael Mandzen who resigned the position.

Heinz has experience in the post, which he held for several years before Mandzen was hired for it in 2013.

Garnhart replaces guidance counselor Susan Winter, who also resigned.

a maintenance crew from the Byron Forest Preserve, who went to the park to help Flagg-Rochelle Park District workers with clean-up at Skare Park.

storm.

Sosa said the staff from the forest preserve contacted Northern Illinois Raptor Rehab and Education, Loves Park, which rescues, rehabilitates, and releases native birds of prey.

A little food and water perked the youngsters up, and a female great horned

owl at Raptor Rehab took them under her wing.

Rager takes part in pinning ceremony An Oregon woman was among the Kishwaukee College Radiologic Technology graduates who participated in a traditional pinning ceremony on June 27.

Katrina Rager, Oregon, was one of the 2015 radiology graduates.

The tradition of pinning healthcare graduates originates with the nursing profession in 1860 when Florence Nightingale presented a lapel pin to her best students.

Over the years, other healthcare professions have added the practice to their graduation traditions to symbolize an official initiation into the students’

chosen healthcare profession.

At the Kishwaukee College Radiologic Technology pinning, each graduate was pinned individually by Lori Damask, clinical site coordinator, and congratulated by Marie Meadors, radiologic technology instructor.

Each graduate then publicly recognized family and friends who had been supportive of their efforts while a student and gave each person a gerbera daisy in gratitude.

Graduates, family, and friends then were offered light refreshments in the Kishwaukee College Conference Center dining rooms.

Reduction/recyling grants available Schools, churches, businesses are all eligible to apply

By Reita Nicholson Administrative Assistant Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department Does your organization want to go “green” and help to keep refuse out of the landfill?

The Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department (OCSWMD) is announcing the second round of Waste Reduction/ Recycling Grants for 2015.

The grants of up to $2,000 are available to Ogle County businesses, schools, municipalities, churches, scout groups, and non-profit organizations wishing to establish or improve on waste reduction and recycling programs and services.

Applicants must provide

a 20 percent match of the total project cost and the deadline for the next round of applications is July 10.

Based on results from the most recent county recycling survey, Ogle County recycled approximately 33 percent of waste generated.

This is a good starting point, but more can be done to reduce waste and recycle more in Ogle County. A recycling grant can help.

The application for the grant is simple and flexible.

Businesses could use grant funds to help purchase waste reduction and recycling materials and equipment, such as collection bins, carts, balers, storage containers, reusable packaging systems, sustainable food packaging, or educational materials that help promote recycling and waste reduction in the workplace.

Schools may seek funds for special projects that will further

a student’s understanding of how to reduce the amount of trash sent to the landfill.

The requests may be for materials and equipment, such as recycling bins/ carts, videos, books, worm bins, composters, or a dishwasher so disposable plastic ware and Styrofoam trays can be replaced with reusable silverware and plastic trays.

Municipalities seeking to improve curbside, multifamily, or commercial recycling are encouraged to apply, as well as park districts looking to provide recycling opportunities for park users.

These examples are not all inclusive and applicants are encouraged to find new and innovative ways to reduce the amount of waste and increase what is recycled.

The grants may not be used for ongoing expenses, such as staffing, collection, and hauling costs. Priority will be

given to new applicants.

All applications received will be reviewed by OCSWMD staff and the Ogle County Board Solid Waste Committee.

Grants will be evaluated on the following criteria: management ability, project quality, project impact;, realistic goals and expectations, accuracy of application, educational potential, use of recycled content product when available, potential for waste stream diversion, and future continuity of the project.

The next deadline is July 10 and applications will be reviewed, scored, and acted on by the Solid Waste Committee by the end of July.

For more information or to request an application, call the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department at 815-732-4020 or visit www. oglecounty.org.

Topics include food borne illnesses, safe food handling, cooking, and storage, employee health and hygiene, facility safety and

maintenance, cleaning and sanitization.

Public Voice Artist enjoyed years visiting Ogle County Dear People of the (former) Fields Project and Community Members of Ogle County, Please consider this a letter to say “Hello. I am doing fine.”

But, you must know that my experiences, in your county and its peoples, are deeply embedded in my life and creative endeavors.

My “Junes” are just not the same.

For eight years (nine?)

I was a visiting artist with The Fields Project. I kept time with June.

I wrapped my year around June and the 10 days with many of you.

You melded the arts and agriculture in a way that brought culture into the “agri.”

I stayed with six different families in those eight years and each family was accommodating, curious, and welcoming.

In fact, I was as curious about them as they were about me.

It made us all wonder who was the observer. Who was the observed.

I kept time with June as a farmer may keep time with the seasons.

June and The Fields Project was my entree into summer. Now, summer unfolds as it may, rather unceremoniously.

As I write, it is nearly July and I have had three mini trips to the environs of Ogle County. Consider it my fix

for big sky, agrarian views, and renewing relationships with past hosts (off of Facebook!).

My experiences with the Fields Project have meant so much over those eight years and will inform my work for the rest of my lifetime.

I remember fondly Jennifer and Joe Warrenfeltz and my first Fields Project.

The laughter and Jennifer’s incredible vegetable garden and a young couple, just starting out.

I had to rename some past works from “silos” to “bins” thanks to their patience.

My two Fields Project stays with Joan and Mike Pfeiffer were filled with laughter too along with an appreciation of generations farming on the same land and how that shifts one’s perspective of time and care taking of the land.

I recall my two Fields Project stays with Ned and Lyrah Bushnell, their enthusiasm for soil conservation, beauty, and meals cooked with love.

My memorable stay with Larry and Aneda Ebert, while going through a huge personal transition, and their willingness to introduce me to a local family, to oust me out of bed early (still not so good at that!) and watch the sun rise through my created assemblage of discarded windows, on the summer solstice.

That year was good for my soul and made me realize, again, that all things in this life are temporary and fleeting.

Another year I stayed with Steve and Dixie Hammer, who were lovely hosts.

My final year, with Gary and Judy Bocker, was quite the crescendo, staying in their newly built silo and Barnacopia!

In Polo, farmers showed artists what it takes to create...from the ground up.

All, so inspiring.

Polo Library News All programs are free unless otherwise noted and accessible.

Life-Long Learners Although patrons might not be attending school, they can still be life-long learners, along with the library staff. A few weeks ago they researched other towns in the U.S.A. named Polo. This week they researched Marco Polo.

According to ”Your Dictionary”: Marco Polo was an Italian merchant adventurer born in Venice in 1254.

The exact date of his birth has been debated, as has the location of his birth. His father’s name was Niccolo Polo.

His mother died when he was very young. His father and his Uncle Maffeo were wealthy jewel merchants.

They went to China in 1266 to set up a trading business.

Marco did not go with

them. Niccolo and Maffeo met the Mongol prince Kublai Khan who asked them to go to the Pope and request that 100 European priests come to China to teach.

The Polos were some of the first Europeans who traveled to China and Mongolia.

Marco’s first trip to Asia was in 1271 when he was 17 years old. He traveled with his father and his uncle to the Mongol Empire in China.

It took four years for them to reach China. They stayed for 17 years and worked as an advisor and aide to Kublai Khan. Marco is famous for his journeys through Asia where he documented what he saw for Kublai Khan.

On the return trip to Europe in 1292, they escorted the daughter of one of Kublai Khan’s regional rulers. This caused the return trip to take three years.

After the collapse of the Mongol Empire, it was basically impossible to go to those same regions that Marco had once explored.

When he returned to Venice he was captured at the age of 44 by the people living in Genoa and put in jail due to a conflict between Genoa and Venice.

During his time in jail he dictated his book The Travels of Marco Polo that chronicled his travels.

He dictated his book to another prisoner, Rustichello da Pisa, an Italian romance writer. Rustichello became the co-author of Marco’s book.

It greatly described the Silk Road in China and was printed in French, Italian and Latin.

For hundreds of years, Polo was the only European source about China. His descriptions eventually wound up influencing Christopher Columbus who took a copy of the book with

him when he set off to find a new route to the Orient.

Although Polo was not the first European to make these travels, he brought back the most information and had the seemingly best experience of all of the others.

Marco was released from prison in 1299. In 1300 he married Donata Badoer.

They had three daughters - Bellela, Fantina and Moretta.

He became ill. He lived until the age of 69 and was just a few months short of 70 at his death on January 8, 1324. He is buried in the Church of San Lorenzo in Venice.

Polo grew to bear the name “Il Milione” because he was considered to be a great storyteller of his time.

The library staff thought it was interesting that Marco Polo was considered to be a great storyteller.

What a happy thing for the community.

SECTION B

Funny moments during contest

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com The two contestants for Little Mister Firecracker provided some of the funniest moments last week at the Let Freedom Ring festival.

Each contestant went on stage July 1 and were asked basic questions.

Up first was Elijah Calhan, age 5, with the question “How old are you?”

“Sixteen,” he replied and which received laughs from the audience.

He then performed part of the song “Let It Go.” Cameron Rogers had two answers that got the crowd laughing.

His first question was “Who is your favorite cartoon character?”

Without hesitation Cameron answered.

“Mom,” he said.

His father Kevin, and grandparents were laughing at the answer. His mom’s name is Julie.

The second question he was asked was “What do you want to be when you grow up?”

To this, Cameron also had an easy answer.

“Cameron,” he said.

He finished by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance for the crowd.

Cameron was named the Little Mister Firecracker and

Elijah was the runner up.

For the girls Aaliyah Kahly, age 4, had two funny moments during the competition.

First she was asked “What do you want to be when you grow up?”

“In kindergarten,” Aaliyah said.

Then while waiting for the results of the competition, she was playing with her name tag and tried placing the name tag over her face.

Aaliyah was eventually named the Little Miss Firecracker.

Runner up was Alazhia Lucas age 3, who sang “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” Following the Little Miss and Mister Firecracker competition, the Let Freedom Ring Queen Contest began.

Paige Carlock was escorted to the stage by her uncle Rob Morrow.

Games filled the schedule for all the Polo teams

By Larry Loomis

S P O RT S P H Y S I C A L S

June 18, Polo One journeyed to Pearl City where they narrowly lost by an 11-10 score.

Pearl City, after shutting down a potential Polo rally in the top of the first inning, struck for five runs in the bottom of the first.

Seven walks and two hit batters accounted for the host’s runs.

Polo managed to rally for six runs in the top of the third. Rebekah Ziegler led off the inning with a walk and was put out at second on a fielder’s choice on a ball hit by Allissa Marschang.

The next four batters drew base-on balls. Teah Almassy then smashed a double to center to score a pair of runs. Two more walks forced in several more runs and by inning’s conclusion Polo had taken a 6-5 lead.

Once again, Polo’s pitching failed to hold the lead when they issued five walks and hit three batters in the bottom of the third.

By the time the inning had ended, Pearl City had regained the lead by an 11-6 margin.

Pearl City also had trouble finding the plate and in the top of the fourth as time was expiring their pitchers issued seven walks that allowed four runs to score.

Polo closed to an 1110 score but could get no closer as the hosts prevailed by one run to cop the victory.

With the loss, at that time, Polo One dropped to 2-7 for the campaign.

Monday, June 29, Polo One hosted Dixon Two in Junior Division play.

Polo jumped off to a 5-0 lead after an inning of play and went on to post a 13-3 win. Marah Blake led off the bottom of the first with a triple to deep left center and Polo was on their way to a relative easy win.

Abby Gorzny followed

Blake’s smash with a walk.

Harper Clark then drew a base on ball to fill the bases.

Nicole Boelens then strode to the dish and blasted a 1-1 pitch to the left field fence for an inside the park grand slam to give Polo an early 4-0 lead.

Alex Dusing followed Boelens with a single up the middle. Ally Simpson then walked to put runners on first and second with none out.

Jasmine Badon then singled as the fleet footed Dusing came around to score what proved to be the fifth and final run of the inning as the home town ladies were off to the races with a 5-0 lead.

Polo added another four runs in the bottom of the second. Faith Ukena walked to lead off the inning.

Marah Blake walked.

Abby Gorzny then singled to score Ukena.

Nicole Boelens reached on fielder’s choice.

Successive singles by Dusing and Simpson along with another fielder’s choice saw the fourth and final run of the inning score as Polo bolted to a 9-0 lead.

The rest of the evening was a mop up operation as undefeated Polo One took the victory.

For the evening, Polo collected 10 hits to one for Dixon. Harper Clark picked up the win.

In the nightcap, Polo Two hosted Stockton and came away with a 15-8 win.

Elleanna Wells held Stockton scoreless in the top of the first. In the bottom of the inning, seven base on balls, an error and a fielder’s choice led to six runs, the maximum allowed by league rules, as Polo took a 6-0 edge.

After an inning of play, Polo led 6-0.

Their big lead did not last long as Polo returned the favor of walks by issuing six to Stockton and along with an error allowed six runs.

Through two innings, the game was tied at six. Once again, however, Stockton’s pitchers could not find the plate and surrendered eight walks in the bottom of the inning. Madison Glawe did manage a single when a pitch came close enough to hit to drive in a pair of runs as Polo once again went out on top by a score of 11-6.

Stockton would manage to pick up a pair of runs in their half of the third on a pair of errors and a hit batman to close to 11-8.

Polo, however struck for four runs in the bottom of the inning on four walks and a Lindee Poper double to take a 15-8 win after just three innings under the time limit. Poper also picked up the win in relief of Elleanna Wells.

Polo One of the Junior Division was back in action on June 30 here against Oregon One. The game only went three and one half innings as Polo won 11-0.

Nicole Boelens was dominant from the opening pitch and struck out nine batters while surrendering just one hit as the game ended under the ten run rule.

Offensively, Polo struck for six runs in the first inning. There really was not much offense to speak of as Polo manage to pick up nine base on balls as Oregon’s pitcher just could not find her control.

Things did not improve much for the visitors in the Polo half of inning number two. This time Polo did get hits from Abby Gorzny and Kayla Boelens to go along with four walks and an error to post five more runs to account for what would be the final score 11-0.

Polo managed just two hits as the ball was seldom in the strike zone to be hit.

Nicole Boelens took the win to keep Polo undefeated on the campaign.

July 2, Polo’s Senior division team hosted Dixon Two. Dixon jumped off to

a 1-0 lead after an inning of play but that lead Dixon would be brief, as Polo would come back to take a 10-1 lead after an inning of play and never looked back in taking a 20-5 win in just three and one half innings.

Polo’s first inning results were indicative of the entire game as they scored early and often and never let up.

Cassie Bushman led off the game with a walk.

Amber Henson singled.

Zoie Sellers was hit by a pitch to load the bases.

Emily Boelens singled in a pair of runs. Lexi Cox drew a walk to fill the bases again. Kaitlyn Marschang singled to score a run.

Cynthia Calderon walked to force in a run. Then, several wild pitches along with a number of passed balls allowed Polo to score at will as they put a ten spot on the board to take command early.

Kaitlyn Marschang started for Polo pitching in place of normal starter Cassie Bushman.

Marschang was a bit tentative in her delivery and issued a number of base on balls but considering the game was her first start of the season, she did not do all that badly.

Bushman would come in, in relief, in the middle of the second and finish the game.

Together the duo gave up four hits on the evening.

Polo had 10 hits for the night while being issued fourteen walks. They also had five batters hit by pitches.

With the Polo win July 2, no further regular season games were played as Polo hosted the semi-final round and championship games of the Carroll County Little Miss Tournament.

This year, neither of Polo’s entrants made it to the semis but did manage to make it to the quarter finals. No results of those contests were made available at press time.

In the semi-final round, Milledgeville played host to Savanna in opening action.

Milledgeville had a little more pitching and fielding depth than Savanna and came away with a 9-2 win to advance to the championship game.

Savanna led 2-0 until the bottom of the third when the hosts put a four spot up to take a 4-2 lead after three complete. Savanna responded with a pair of runs to tie the game at four in the top of the fourth.

Milledgeville then regained the lead with a solo run in the bottom of the inning and then posted a big four in the fifth to head into the final inning leading 9-2.

Savanna managed to get a two out walk in the top of the sixth before their final batter went down swinging allowing Milledgeville to advance to the finals July 2.

The final spot in the championship game was determined when Forreston hosted Mt. Carroll in the evening’s nightcap.

Trailing 3-0 going into the Forreston home half of inning number two, the hosts put five runs on the board due to five walks and a grand slam homerun by Riley Broshus as Forreston took a 5-3 lead enroute to a 10-3 victory.

Mt. Carroll scored first with three runs in the top of the second, courtesy of five walks and a big error allowing three runs to score.

Forreston, however, quickly responded with five runs in the bottom of the inning as they were issued five walks. Midway through the walk-a-thon, Riley Broshus of Forreston smacked a grand slam homerun to help her squad take a 5-3 lead that they would never relinquish.

Forreston led 6-3 going into the bottom of the fifth when they put four more runs on the board coming

off of four walks and a single.

Time then expired as Forreston advanced against Milledgeville in the championship game.

In the championship game, number one seed Milledgeville played host to number two seed Forreston.

Forreston was shut down in their first at bat but would go on to take a 7-2 victory to cop first place honors.

Milledgeville scored first with a run in the bottom of the first. The score was still 1-0 when Forreston struck for three runs in the top of the third.

Two singles, a walk, and a big error allowed the guests to score three to take a 3-1 lead.

Then, in the top of the fourth, Forreston added an additional three runs to go up 6-1.

Those runs came without benefit of a hit as three walks and another critical error led to three runs being plated to give the guests a big lead.

Milledgeville managed a solo run in the bottom of the inning to account for the final margin of victory as Forreston went In the Tiny Miss Tournament at Savanna, Polo’s team won their first game but lost their second to drop out of the tournament. No details of their games were made available at press time.

In a pair of games reported from the road

by Polo Two of the Junior Division, Polo down a team at Stillman June 10th, by a 16-6 score.

Emma McCawley collected three of Polo’s nine hits.

July 1, Polo Two lost a narrow 11-10 decision to Dixon. Polo had ten hits in their hard fought loss.

Sierra Wolfley and Becca Wagner each had a single and a double. Mallory Patterson had two singles to pace the offense.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations for Ogle County, Illinois and Incorporated Areas The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency has issued a preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where applicable, Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report, reflecting proposed flood hazard determinations within Ogle County, Illinois and Incorporated Areas.

Technical information or comments are solicited on the proposed flood hazard determinations shown on the preliminary FIRM and/or FIS report for Ogle County, Illinois and Incorporated Areas.

However, before these determinations are effective for floodplain management purposes, you will be provided an opportunity to appeal the proposed information. For information on the statutory 90-day period provided for appeals, as well as a complete listing of the communities affected and the locations where copies of the FIRM are available for review, please visit FEMA?s website at http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/fhm/bfe, or call the FEMA Map Information eXchange (FMIX) toll free at 1-877-FEMA-MAP (1-877336-2627).
