Farming heritage was on display

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Farming operations of yesteryear were wellunderway Aug. 29 all over the grounds at the East Jordan United Methodist Church, southwest of Polo.

The crowd of young and not-so-young, farmers and city dwellers watched as oats were threshed, then moved on to see corn being chopped for silage, and then to the corn shelling operation at the church’s ninth annual Farm Heritage Festival.

Harold Schryver, Shannon, and his brother Ames, Polo, chatted as they watched the old chopper, powered by an antique tractor, grind up green corn stalks and blow the chopped silage into a wagon.

“I remember working on one of these,” said Harold.

The two said they came to the festival mainly to see the old tractors.

They have one they are working on, Harold said, but don’t have it quite ready to show.

Meanwhile on the other side of the spacious lawn, youngsters tried out a hand

sheller, turning a crank to move an ear of corn through the mechanism that spit shelled corn out one side and a clean cob out the other.

Rain overnight and into the morning had an impact on crowd who attended the event.

The rain had stopped by 9 a.m., but the skies remained overcast. Temperatures were comfortable in the low 70s.

Festival organizer Steve Venhuizen, Polo, said the turn-out was lower than usual

because of the rain, and a few exhibitors did not show up for the same reason.

“The rain cut into the crowd — there’s no question about that,” he said. “It turned into a pretty nice day though.”

The breakfast crowd, however, was not slowed by a little rain.

Kitchen volunteer Janice Deets, Polo, said approximately 270 turned out for the hearty home-cooked bacon, eggs, and pancakes.

For the convenience of Ogle County residents, the newly-formed Whiteside, Lee, and Ogle Regional Office of Education (ROE) has opened a satellite office in Oregon.

The merger of the Whiteside ROE and LeeOgle ROE took place July 1, and the resulting ROE is headquartered in Sterling.

“We wanted to have a presence in Ogle County,” said Regional Superintendent Robert Sondgeroth.

“It was a little far for Ogle County residents to come to Sterling.”

The office is open on

Another 150 came for lunch, she said.

Venhuizen said he plans to expand the events and displays next year for the 10th annual festival.

A hymn sing will be held on Saturday at 7 p.m. with special music guests.

The Sunday morning service at 10:30 a.m. will be led by former pastor Rick Britton.

After the service a luncheon will be served followed by a time of viewing church pictures, memorabilia, and the contents from the Church’s cornerstone laid in 1956.

Tornado relief funds have been spent One hundred percent of monies allocated to Ogle County from the Northern Illinois Disaster Relief Fund have been spent directly on restoration efforts in Rochelle through American Red Cross of Northwest Illinois, United Way of Rock River Valley officials reported last week.

The money was allocated for restoration efforts after the EF4 tornado that damaged homes and other buildings on the east side of the county on April 9.

She said she mainly does fingerprinting for schools, substitute teachers, and the public, but can also help with information and registration for GEDs and can answer other questions concerning the ROE as well.

The merger of the Whiteside ROE and the Lee-Ogle ROE stems from action taken four years ago to reduce the state budget.

Then Gov. Pat Quinn questioned the amount budgeted for ROEs in 2011, and as a result, the number of them was reduced 44 to 35 as of this July.

immigration that flowed to America in the late 1840s and 50s, many found their way to Forreston.”

Many of the Germans who came were from Ostfriesland, an area of northern Germany bordering the Netherlands and the North Sea. “The Germans, as they arrived, found what they were looking for: opportunities, rich and fertile soil, and reward for their labor,” Greenfield’s history reads. “The farmers cleared and sowed the fruitful land and were rewarded with high yields that surprised them.

“In the midst of all the prosperity, they did not forget the thorough German religious training they had received. They were not satisfied with squeezing out a mere materialistic existence; they truly felt the need for spiritual guidance in their daily lives.”

A group of devout men and women decided in 1865, just after the Civil War, that a church should be erected at the present location along what was then a well-traveled stage coach trail.

Forreston Grove Church will celebrate 150 years From A1 both small and resembling cabins.

Those buildings served the congregation for more than 25 years.

“Their ultimate goal was to construct a spacious church with a tall steeple and a manse to compliment the church.” Greenfield’s history relates.

That goal was realized in 1889 when a large church

was built with a steeple reaching 100 feet skyward.

“The church could now be seen for miles around as a testimony and witness to God,” Greenfield wrote.

A large manse was built in 1903. It served church pastors for 72 years and was sold in 1976 and moved to a new location.

“Both buildings were known and described as the finest buildings of the day,”

Greenfield said.

The church was destroyed in 1953 by a fire that also devastated the nearby grove of trees for which it was named.

The grove had stood between the church and manse.

The current church was built and dedicated in 1956, and the manse was built and dedicated in 1977.

In 1995 county education

offices were combined into 45 Educational Service Regions. Ogle and Lee Counties merged at that time.

The Whiteside, Lee, and Ogle ROE oversees 26

public school districts and several private schools, a total of 86 buildings, 1,800 teachers, and more than 20,000 students.

Street and Franklin Street at 7:30 a.m. on Sept. 12 “Show up with long pants and long sleeve shirts and be ready to clean,” said Rypkema. “We will have water for the volunteers.”

Garbage bags will be available during volunteer check in and assistance with driving to locations for cleaning the river can be requested.

“Over the years we have worked to clean the river but many sections are not accessible,” said Rypkema.

“Anyone with a boat, canoe, or kayak can help clean the harder to reach areas.”

Canoes and kayaks can be launched at the park or at the boat launch north of Oregon on Ill. 2.

Rypkema requests that anyone going in the river with a boat to stop at the registration table at Kiwanis Park before heading to the river.

All the trash collected will be brought back to the park to be sorted for proper disposal.

“We always have a lot of plastic bottles and cans that can be recycled,” said Rypkema. “We separate them out and we also separate the scrap metal.”

Unique items and any potentially hazardous waste found is addressed on a case

by case basis.

“We urge volunteers to use caution when cleaning,” said Rypkema. “Contact a coordinator if there is a question about the safety anything found.”

Automotive batteries are one of the hazardous items that have been recovered in previous years.

“We will deal with these items,” said Rypkema.

Last year, more than 40 volunteers participated in the Oregon Area Sweep and collected half a ton of waste.

For more information contact the Ogle County Solid Waste Department at 815-732-4020 or email srypkema@oglecounty.org.

The Oregon Area Sweep will focus on the seven miles between Lowden State Park and Castle Rock State Park.

North of this area, the Byron Area Sweep will take place.

Mike Challis is the coordinator for that section and is supported by the Byron Forest Preserve.

Volunteers for this area should meet at 9 a.m. at the park on River Road across from the Byron Forest Preserve entrance.

Garage sale benefits Habitat Habitat for Humanity of Ogle County (HFHOC) will hold a garage sale on Thursday, Sept. 10 through Saturday, Sept. 12 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Oregon Church of God, 860 W. OregonTrail

Rd., Oregon.

Donations will be accepted on Tuesday, Sept. 8 and Wednesday, Sept. 9 from noon to 6 p.m. at the church garage.

All proceeds will go to help with the cost of the current

build in Mt. Morris.

To volunteer with the sale or donate at a different time contact HFHOC Volunteer Coordinator Gail Tuttle at 815-494-2114 or ysp867@ aol.com.

Historic Packards will be in town at 1 p.m.

They plan on spending an hour or so touring the depot, then go to Conover to look over the train display,

followed by a tour of the Oregon Library Eagles Nest Gallery.

The club members will spend Friday touring sites

in Dixon, staying Friday night at both the White Pines Inn and Pinehill Bed and Breakfast.

Library will hold AOP book sale whichever comes first.

However, this year some changes will be made.

The library will be able to accept donated books for the sale only on Friday, Oct. 2 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. because

of no room for storage this year due to remodeling of the basement rooms.

Also, books will be sold by the bag: $3 for all the books you can fit into a good-sized bag and $10 for all the books

that fit into a red library tote bag.

This eliminates the lines at checkout where the cost of individual books have to be added up. All proceeds will benefit the library.

Specialists from University of Illinois Extension and Illinois Natural Resources Conservation Service will present information on grazing management for fall pasture.

Grazing standing pasture is the most cost-effective way to feed ruminant livestock.

“Pasture is an underutilized resource in many parts of northwestern Illinois,” says Andy Larson, Extension Local Food Systems and Small Farms Educator.

“With a bit more planning and management, we could support a lot more grazing livestock in this area.”

During the classroom portion attendees will learn about fundamentals of improved grazing management, including careful planning of rotations and stocking rates, presented by Larson.

Travis Meteer, Extension Commercial Livestock Educator, will discuss extending the grazing season with alternative forages, like cover crops, annuals, stockpile, and corn stalks.

Matt Bunger, NRCS Grasslands Specialist will present information on building durable and economical fencing and water systems that best fit a

pasture and a budget.

A final topic during the workshop will be presented by Jay Solomon, Extension Energy & Environmental Stewardship Educator. He will discuss how and when grazing livestock can productively utilize woodland pasture with minimal negative consequences.

During the pasture walk at Dietrich Ranch, Dan and Erin Dietrich will discuss management-intensive and contract grazing, high stock density grazing, optimizing a grazing system for diversified livestock species, and selling identity-preserved products

through niche markets.

At 5:15 p.m., the group will travel three miles south to Dietrich Ranch near Mt. Morris for dinner and a pasture walk beginning at 5:30 p.m. and concluding around 7:30 p.m.

“During my years in the county clerk’s office, I’ve learned the value and necessity of hard work. I’m not afraid of hard work, and as your next Ogle

New law could be a lifesaver for teens

By Christi Warren Sauk Valley Media A new law signed last week by Gov. Bruce Rauner could have life-saving repercussions.

It’s like the state’s Good Samaritan law, which offers amnesty to drug users in the event of a medical emergency.

But this one, signed Aug. 24 by the Republican governor, applies to underage drinking parties.

Under the new law, if an underage drinker calls 911 because of a medical emergency, the caller and the person receiving medical care will be offered immunity from citations That scenario calls to mind

the death of 18-year-old Jon Williams, who died at an underage drinking party in Oregon two years ago this month.

His death was later ruled a homicide, although no one was charged.

Winnebago County Coroner Sue Fiduccia determined that he had died from blunt force trauma.

He was punched in the face and fell to the ground, but wasn’t taken to the hospital until the morning after the party. By then he was unconscious.

The new law could prevent such tragedies, Oregon Police Chief Darin DeHaan said.

“It’s hard to say in that particular instance [whether

the law would’ve made a difference],” the chief said.

“My hope would be that it would have, and [the fellow partygoers] would [call 911], and it would’ve saved his life.”

Illinois joins almost a dozen other states with similar laws.

“It’s definitely a law that has a lot of potential, because I think these kids do fear the consequences,” he said. “I think it’s a good law. I think things have probably happened across the state because of that fear that kids have. Either kids have consumed too much, or they’ve been hurt. ...

It’s an insightful law from legislators.”

Oregon High School

Principal Andrew Nelson agreed.

“I think it’s a really good idea,” Nelson said.

“Sometimes what happens with kids is, if they have a sense that they’re going to get in trouble, even if they’re trying to do something right, the fear ... may trump them from exercising common sense and making the phone call. I see this law as eliminating a barrier.”

It’s a law he definitely will tell his students about, he said.

“I think it’s an excellent law. And if it removes that barrier and that fear, then it’s going to ultimately save a life, and that’s definitely a good thing.”

Serenity shed is taking off

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The newest endeavor of Serenity Hospice and Home is starting to take off.

Executive director Lynn Knodle said activity is beginning at the newly opened Serenity Shed at 131 N. Third St., Oregon.

“We have a few people coming in,” she said.

More than 150 people turned out Aug. 21 and 22 for the facility’s grand opening, a number Knodle found encouraging.

“We were very pleased with the turnout,” she said.

The Serenity Shed is a workshop where people can

go to spend time working on re-purposing donated items or just visit with others while having a cup of coffee.

The purpose is to help people handle the loss of a loved one by focusing on a project along with others in a similar situation.

All supplies including power tools will be available and the center always welcomes donations of leftover paint or other supplies.

Volunteers will be on hand to lend their expertise on using the tools as well as ideas for getting started.

Knodle said monthly workshops will begin in the near future to teach participants how to master

various techniques to complete projects.

Building a New Normal bereavement groups will begin after Labor Day. The center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the first Monday of each month until 8 p.m., and the third Thursday of each month until 8 p.m.

“Over time, I envision people coming in on their own to work,” Knodle said.

The Serenity Shed has received the support of a grant offered by the A. Charles and Lillemor Foundation based in Oregon.

Knodle said volunteers are also needed at the workshop.

Polo earns first win of season Lady Marcos win in two

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com Polo was only down once in their volleyball match against Fulton Unity Tuesday night.

That was a 0-1 start in the second game and the Lady Marcos quickly turned it around.

From the opening serves of the night, the Lady Marcos’ new volleyball coach knew the games were going to fall their way.

“Kenzie (Dusing) was a standout tonight,” said coach Patrick Anderson. “She put the ball in play and gave the other team troubles.”

Dusing was on service for 18 of the teams 50 points.

Emalie Gunder had eight points.

“It was important to have that consistency with the serve,” said Anderson.

Throughout the match, Fulton had trouble returning serves with any accuracy.

In the first game Polo started off 5-0 before Dusing sent a ball long to give Fulton a point.

Paige Peterson went low for a dig to get the ball back in Polo’s service.

Polo pulled out to an 11-4 lead which Fulton cut to 126.

At this point Gunder was on service and the Lady Marcos put up seven unanswered points to give Polo a 18-6 lead.

Polo went on to win the first game 25-11.

The second game started off with Fulton getting the first point before Polo Turn to B2

Cardinals defense steps up following opening drive

By Andy Colbert Reporter With the bulk of its 1A state championship team graduated, Forreston’s 33-13 NUIC crossover win over Ashton-Franklin Center on Aug. 28 demonstrates that a new group of reinforcements are on the way.

Led by sophomore running backs Matt Akins and A.J. Christensen combining for 174 first-half yards, the Cardinals had 19 first downs in that half alone. Christensen had two touchdown runs, Akins one and fellow sophomore Gavin Fuchs another for 27-6 halftime lead.

“We have a lot of new faces,” said senior Logan Rogers, one of the few returning starters. “It will take awhile, but we’ll start to round into form. We have a strong sophomore class.”

Another of those sophomores, 6-foot-6, 210-pound Sam Barkalow, had two first-half fumble recoveries and a second-half sack. The first came after a Noah Gipe squib kickoff that bounced off an AFC player.

At the time, the Raiders led 7-6. Six running plays later, Forreston scored and never looked back.

“That was a backbreaker,” AFC coach Brad Winterland said.

David Zinke stunned the Cardinals with a 63-yard run on the first play from scrimmage. Two plays later, quarterback Jacob Hilliker scored from two yards out for an early 7-0 AFC lead.

“We got caught out of position in that long run,” Forreston coach Denny Diduch said.

Forreston then put together a 14-play drive that stalled after a first-and-goal situation. AFC did manage a pair of first downs, but was forced to punt and the youthful Cardinals took charge.

Christensen returned the punt 20 yards and then topped off the drive with a touchdown on second and

third effort, cutting the lead to 7-6.

“It’s an honor to step into the left wingback for Max Barkalow,” Christensen said.

“I was nervous replacing Robert DeVries at safety. It means a lot to carry on the tradition left by the seniors.”

Akins made it 12-7 in favor of Forreston on a 1-yard touchdown after the short field set up by the fumbled kickoff. Fuchs then capped off an 87-yard drive with a 10-yard touchdown off the counter.

Two plays later, the Cardinals got the ball back at AFC’s 27-yard line on a fumble. With two would-be tacklers draped over him at the 5-yard line, Christensen ran through them for a 16yard score and 26-7 Cardinal lead.

AFC did have one more big play, as Zinke connected with James Talley for a 50yard halfback pass. However, a 5-yard tackle for a loss by Steve Christensen and a pair of incompletions stalled the drive.

It was continued domination in the second half for Forreston, as a light drizzle soon turned into rain.

With new quarterback Caleb Poffenberger efficiently directing the offense, the Cardinals used 13 straight running plays to score on a Tyler Bryant 4-yard run and 33-7 lead, as the second half began.

“The thing they do so well is making it hard to find who has the ball,” Winterland said. “They had more depth with guys coming in all the time. They’re big and strong.”

Jake Hageman added a 6-yard touchdown for AFC’s final score late in the game.

“We shot ourselves a few times, gave up two big plays and have a lot of mistakes to clean up,” Forreston coach Denny Diduch said. “But, we had a lot of people contribute and it was a good team win.”

Forreston travels to Galena on Friday for what could be its toughest game of the regular season against the No. 1 ranked team in 1A.

Polo wins 61-0 The Marcos cruised to an NUIC Upstate road win over River Ridge in week one.

Polo traveled to River Ridge and came home with a huge 61-0 win.

Polo closed last year’s regular season with three straight shutouts, and picked

up where it left off.

Polo will host their fist home game of the season on Friday, Sept. 4 when they take on Durand (0-1). The varsity game is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. Durand lost to Milledgeville 24-7 in week one.

Coach Shannon Williams said this was a good start to the season.

“The girls really served aggressive and got Winnebago out of system quite a bit, but our defense also did a good job for us when they needed to,” said Williams. “We are getting opportunities and now hopefully our offense can start putting more balls away.”

Leading the way for

Season openers hard on BNW teams

conference had dominance over the east.

With a 33-0 pounding of Byron, either Marengo (15-75 in past 10 years) is better than what people give them credit for or state semifinalist Byron isn’t as good as advertised. A score that decisive isn’t a fluke.

Johnsburg scored more points on Oregon than has ever been done in the John Bothe era. Harvard wasn’t expected to beat Stillman Valley, but it did.

Though it lost its game to perennial state power St. Joseph-Ogden because of numerous fumbles, Winnebago was in it until the end. Maybe the smallrostered Indians will be

the dangerous team of the division?

Other than Lutheran, is the BNC west down this year?

We’ll find out more this week, as crossover games continue. Look for Oregon to beat North Boone, Byron to handle G-K, and Lutheran to demolish RC. Stillman and ‘Bago will see where they stand against RichmondBurton and Harvard.

If the west division is down, it will be a boon to Oregon, as the Hawks need to find ways to reach the magic number of five wins.

Every week will be a test.

In the NUIC, it is hard to get a handle on how proficient Polo is because of the “haves” and “have nots”

The first week of the football season can almost be called “Black Friday” for the Big Northern West Division.

Throw in a Saturday afternoon loss by Winnebago and it was 1-6 for area teams, with Rockford Lutheran picking up the only victory.

Counting Dixon’s forfeit over Chicago Clemente, we could make that two wins.

The past few years, teams from the west side of the

points in a row.

Polo kept up the pressure and won the game 25-19 to earn the team’s first win of the season.

Dusing finished the night with a team high five serve aces.

Bushman led the team with three kills and Peterson led the team with four digs.

The Lady Marcos lost their first match of the year Aug. 27 to Pearl City 2513, 25-21.

Anderson knows the team will learn from the first two matches of the season.

“Going forward we need to be consistent and will be working on that so we can attack more,” he said. “We need to stay smart going forward.”

unanswered points to give Polo a 10-1 lead.

Fulton started coming back and got the game to 11-8 with many points coming from balls hit long by the Lady Marcos. At this point Anderson called for a timeout.

“I told them contact the ball and make smart plays,” said Anderson. “We needed to play consistent.”

Fulton scored the next point before Polo stopped the momentum when Sammi Bushman came up to serve.

Bushman served for three quick points to give Polo a 15-9 lead.

The game went back and forth with no team putting together more than two

The 19th annual Vedra Scramble for Education will be held on Saturday, Sept. 12 at PrairieView Golf Course, Byron.

Registration for the event will begin at noon and a shot gun start will be at 1 p.m.

Following 18 holes of golf a steak dinner will be served at 6 p.m.

The Vedra Scramble is the major fundraiser for the Forrestville Valley School Foundation, which plays a role in enhancing of the educational programs of the Forrestville Valley School

District.

The golfing event started in 1996 in memory of the late Doug Vedra, former Forrestville Valley School board member and athletic booster.

The majority of net income from the event comes from sponsor donations and golf contributions, and the event is a day of fun to raise money for a valuable cause.

The Forrestville Valley School Foundation was founded in 1990 by former administrators and alumni who were passionate about

the youth of the communities and their education.

The foundation gives mini-grants twice a year to staff members of the school district to enhance an area of the curriculum for studentsK-12.

The foundation also awards scholarships to graduating seniors of Forreston High School.

nature of the conference.

Either a football program is good or bad, with very little in betweens.

The Marcos ran all over and around league ‘have not”, River Ridge, and will likely do the same for most of their games. So, will we really know just how good Polo is by week 9?

However, it sure will be fun to see where Polo stacks up against the rest of the state come playoff time. For now, look for them to move rapidly up the state rankings, maybe ahead of Forreston, who oddly got two first place votes.

For a team with only five seniors, Forreston shouldn’t be receiving first-place

votes. However, with all the talented younger kids, could we be seeing inklings of another Cardinal state championship team in the near future?

If you are a restaurant operator or gas station in Oregon, be prepared this weekend. In perhaps the busiest weekend schedule of any school in the state, no matter what the size, Oregon will be hosting a home football game, a soccer tournament, volleyball tournament and crosscountry invitational.

Being Hawk athletic director is not for the faint of heart, especially when close to 50 busloads of various teams descend upon Oregon

Friday and Saturday.

A couple weeks ago, Algonquin grad Evan Jager, was mentioned in this column as having a chance to dethrone the Kenyans in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the World Track Championships.

Those hopes for an American victory evaporated, as a Kenyan not only won the race, but his countrymen took the next three places. Jager settled for sixth and called it a learning experience.

Between the Jamacians in the sprints and the Kenyans in the distances, the United States has been left to pick up the scraps in the in-between events.

Astrograph Plan To Have Fun Thursday September 3, 2015 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -An impromptu meeting will spark a creative idea or lead to the rediscovery of an enjoyable hobby. Consider what you favored in the past and apply the same strategy to your present situation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Speak up and offer helpful ideas for increased efficiency at work. Show your leadership ability by touting novel concepts.

Your insight, intelligence and diplomacy will lead to success.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Contend with emotional issues on your own time.

Bringing personal matters to the workplace will detract from your productivity, leading to unwanted consequences. Discretion will be required.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Maintaining a businesslike demeanor at work will pay off. You will receive positive recognition and respect from your associates if you are precise and responsible.

Save playtime for after hours.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Monitor your financial

status on a regular basis. Ongoing fluctuations in business and commerce will prove beneficial if you are prepared to act. Don’t get upset. Do your own thing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You will be the one with all the answers. Your ability to find resolutions will make you the go-to person, but don’t let demanding people infringe on your personal plans.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Do your best to help an elderly or ailing relative or friend. Your effort will not go unnoticed, and in the end, the personal reward will be greater than anticipated.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may feel lazy, but that’s no reason to fall behind on your responsibilities. Make an impression and step up and do what’s expected of you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -There is only so much you can accomplish in a day. Set your priorities and work methodically to finish what you start. Doing too much for too many will lead to disappointment.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Plan to have fun. An evening spent socializing or enjoying entertainment with friends will lift your spirits. Your quick wit and engaging personality will add to your popularity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You will have trouble visualizing your situation clearly.

Before you lodge a protest or try to place blame on someone else, get your facts straight. You will face an unsympathetic response
