Tours held at Nachusa Grasslands By Chris Johnson Reporter Walking through lush prairie grasses and winding though a savanna was like a trip back in time. There were no cars, roads or power lines visible when exploring portions of East Heinkle Hill Saturday morning at Nachusa Grasslands during Autumn on the Prairie. Thousands of acres of prairie land are being restored

at the grasslands to recreate what the Midwest had in the 1800s. Volunteers have been seeding, planting, clearing, and burning the land to destroy invasive species and return the prairie to all its glory. Mike Crowe, Lindenwood, has been with Nachusa Grasslands for 26 years. “I was one of the first groups of stewards,� he said. “Today you are going to visit East Heinkle Hill. This is an

18-year-old prairie.� Crowe was leading a dozen people on a tour of this secluded part of the grasslands. “It was a sandy corn field,� he said. “Now there is tall Indian grass in the field.� Another grass that was thriving was big blue stem, commonly called turkey foot. A third grass that had patches in the prairie is cordgrass, spartina. “This grass is good for thatched roofs but on the

prairie it is also used for burning,� Crowe said. These was only some of the hundreds of plant species that make up the prairie. As the group walked across the land he would pause at several of the plants. While talking about the White Indigo plant. “This is a legume and has deep roots,� said Crowe. “This allows the plant to grow on this sandy soil.� Turn to A10

So far, both the Oregon and Sterling park districts have instituted tight restrictions on where park users can smoke, said Marcia Widolff, director of public health. The next park districts on her radar are Freeport and Dixon, she said. The Smoke-Free Illinois Act, passed in 2008, mandates that public places

and places of employment must be completely smokefree inside and within 15 feet of entrances, exits, windows, and ventilation intakes. The Oregon and Sterling park districts both took that a step further, implementing a ban on smoking within 50 feet of all park amenities such as playgrounds and fields.

“We just wanted to make sure our park users could come and participate in programs and services offered by the park district, and be in a public place, and not have to worry about someone smoking near them,� said Erin Folk, executive director of Oregon Park District. “We want people to be

The family enterprise includes the couple as well as their three grown children. The store, which opened Sept. 6, features livestock and pet food along with what Vicki calls “rustic relics,� everything from Mason jars to barbed wire art. It all started years ago, daughter Amy Kirchner explained, when her father started selling livestock feed from the store which is just down the road and around the corner from the family farm where they raise Hereford Turn to A3

Annual festival returns Oct. 4-5 By Vinde Wells Editor Volunteer organizers have been busy planning the 44th annual Autumn on Parade festival, slated for Oct. 4-5, in Oregon. An “Autumn of Superheroes� is the theme for this year’s event. “In honor of this year’s theme, entertainers on Saturday on the courthouse square will include Wonder Woman and Captain America,� said festival president Marseyne Snow. “We’ll also have Spiderman doing his acrobatics and

Cat Woman will be painting faces.� Back again this year is a post parade show by the South Shore Drill Team on Sunday, following the Harvest Time Parade. “South Shore is always a such a crowd favorite that we decided last year to have them stay a bit longer and do a show after the parade was over,� said Snow. “People really liked that so we’re doing the post parade show again on Jefferson Street in front of the Oregon library.� Snow said this year’s parade, held on Sunday at 1 Turn to A3

Several park districts are looking at going smoke-free By Christi Warren Shaw Media Slowly but surely, the Whiteside County Health Department, in conjunction with the American Lung Association, has been working to convert all of the Sauk Valley’s parks into smoke-free zones.

able to enjoy the programs and services offered by us without any outside factors or influences that could take away from that experience.� The Sterling Park District imposed the 50-foot ban in 2009. Doug Jacobs, director of parks and planning for the district, echoed Folk’s reasoning for the decision.

“It was one of those things where we’re promoting all these healthy activities, regardless of whether it’s swimming at the Duis Center, or it’s exercising at Westwood,� Jacobs said. “It seemed to make sense. We’re promoting health; Turn to A3

Family business will sell a variety of rustic decor From A1 cattle. “We were in 4-H and had livestock projects so Dad started selling feed,� she said. They were hoping to expand the feed business, and decided to add some kind of country store, Vicki said. “We didn’t want to sit here with just feed,� Amy said. For a long time, Vicki, Amy, and a friend had been scouring sales for rustic pieces and had amassed a good-sized collection. “We just love old things. We love the memories the old things hold. We’re the Vintage Chicks,� Vicki said with a laugh. The spaces inside the store are filled with artfully arranged rustic items and decorator pieces. The relics range from children’s toys to Grandma’s kitchen tools to items once used on the farm. Salvaged architectural pieces, shutters, and barn boards are also part

of the inventory. Amy’s hand-painted animal signs and other handmade craft items are also for sale. Vicki pointed out that with six grandchildren of their own, they have made sure the store is “kid-friendly.� “We just want it to be a comfortable place to come and get feed and find some other interesting things, too,� she said. The store will also offer cornstalks and pumpkins for sale. A full feed line for livestock and companion animals is available. The Millers are dealers for Purina, Hueber/Hubbard, US Feeds, and VitaFerm. The grand opening will feature feed specials, as well as a grand prize of a $100 Purina feed certificate and a $50 Vintage Chicks gift certificate. For more information check them out on Facebook Vicki Miller sits on a rustic bench made by her son Matt in front of Vintage Chicks and Feed, 700 E. Ill. 72.

Autumn on Parade festival will be held in Oregon From A1 p.m., is shaping up to be another good one. “In addition to the South Shore Drill Team and the Jesse White Tumblers we have several high school marching bands and novelty entries like a rocket cycle, stilt walkers, and many other entries,� Snow said. Antique tractors and vintage vehicles, youth groups, and other commercial entries will also be in the parade. True to its roots in 1970, the heart of the festival remains the Farmers’ Market and Craft Show that features booths that offer a variety of arts and crafts ranging from handmade wood items to homemade baked breads. Through cooperation with Ogle County and city officials, booths are located on the historic courthouse lawn and on surrounding city streets, on both days.

Smoking bans were

progressive From A1 we should turn around and promote it everywhere, not just when it’s convenient. We want to encourage a healthy lifestyle for everyone that visits the parks.� Widolff called the Oregon and Sterling park districts’ decision to instate the bans so early on “progressive.� A similar ban was passed this month in Chicago – an expansion of a ban the city already had in place that prohibited smoking on the city’s beaches and playgrounds and in park district buildings.

Weather Forecast Temperatures a little cooler and also drier than normal. Dry period from Sept. 24 through Oct. 1, then very wet through October. Best chances for storms (if any) are 26-28 (severe), and 2930. Most areas will get little or no rain. Winds about normal. Frost possible 24-25. Finish harvest by Oct. 1 (if possible).

Open house for Depot’s 100th Members of the Oregon Depot Restoration Project will host the building’s 100th anniversary open house from Sept. 30 - Oct. 4 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. A pizza party for all past and present volunteers will be Thursday, Oct. 2 at 6 p.m. The public is invited to the open house to see the restored building and displays. Volunteers will be available to answer questions. The Oregon Depot Museum Building was completed in 1914. Many travelers have passed through the historic building, including veterans who returned from World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam War. Passenger service was

suspended in 1971 and the building stood empty for many years. It was in a state of disrepair. In the summer of 2001, with financial assistance from the City of Oregon and several private donors, a group of volunteers formed the Oregon Depot Restoration Project. The group was led by Bob Rees and Jerry Stauffer. In May of 2002, a group of Oregon High School alumni arrived from all over the country and spent a week helping to restore the building. They have returned every year and recently, have been working on displaying historic articles. Refreshments will be served.

AOP Duck Dash to follow Harvest Time Parade The bright orange ducks with the white sailor hats are once again getting ready to race in the 2014 Autumn on Parade Duck Dash. The plastic quackers will “paddle� down Franklin Street in Oregon at approximately 3:45 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 5, after the Harvest Time Parade. “They will take a swim down our man-made river provided by the Oregon Fire Department on Sunday, following the conclusion of the Harvest Time Parade,� said Duck Dash Co-Chairman Laura Medlar. The duck dash route is on the block of Franklin Street between Third and Second Streets, along the south side of Conover Square. Nearly 2,500 ducks, each carrying their own number, will be available for adoption at local businesses prior to the festival weekend. They will also be available for purchase at the Autumn on Parade Booth during the festival. “The adoption fee is $5 each or a ‘6 Quack’ for $25, where six ducks can be

purchased for the price of five,� said co-chairman Jessie Whalen. All ducks remain the property of the festival. Adoptive parents of the top 10 chosen ducks will be awarded cash prizes. Here’s how it works: Each duck has a number ascribed to his/her bottom. Adoptive parents fill out an adoption form designating that duck based on his/her number. The duck is then placed in the Duck Dash race line-up. The first 10 chosen ducks that make it down Franklin Street the day of the race are the winners. The decision of the judges will be final and winners need not be present to win. Ducks may be adopted at several area businesses prior to the festival. Look for the Official Duck Adoption Center signs. Proceeds from the event benefit the Autumn on Parade festival and Celebrate Oregon Elementary School.

Fall Festival held at Hillcrest Farm The second annual Fall Festival at Hillcrest Farm was held on Sept. 6. University of Illinois Extension joined local veterans and their families at the farm on Lowell Park Rd., Dixon. The farm is owned by the Starner – Stuff family.

The Fall Festival celebrated local heroes and their families. At the beginning of the growing season, the Starner – Stuff family offered free garden plots at the farm for any veterans who were interested.

The project was designed to help veterans and their families learn to grow their own food, share extra produce with others, and to provide an environment for veterans to meet and socialize. University of Illinois

Crundwell’s pension funds are a topic at hearing By Matt Mencarini Shaw Media Rita Crundwell doesn’t think her pension funds should be part of a courtordered repayment of the nearly $54 million she stole from the city of Dixon. Motions will be presented next week in federal court regarding the inclusion of the former Dixon comptroller’s pension funds in her courtordered restitution to the city. Crundwell, who was arrested in April 2012 and later convicted of stealing $53.7 million from the city over 2 decades, sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. State’s Attorney’s Office on Aug. 30. “I wish to object to the inclusion of these funds in the judgment,� she said in the letter from a federal prison in Waseca, Minnesota. “I feel these funds should be exempt.�

Motions will be made Sept. 29 in Chicago regarding her Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund, which has $73,104.50, and another fund, through Nationwide Retirement Solutions, that has $17,461.36, according to court documents. Assistant U.S. Attorney Randall Samborn, the public information officer for the office, declined to comment on the case. He said many variables make it unclear how Judge Philip Reinhard will proceed Sept. 29. Among those uncertainties is legal representation for Crundwell, he said. Paul Gaziano, a federal public defender who represented Crundwell in her criminal trial, said on Monday that he wasn’t representing her in this matter. In her letter, Crundwell said she had “no money or assets to hire an attorney� and asked that one be appointed to her.

As of Thursday, Crundwell had an outstanding balance of $44,452,507.96 from the restitution she was ordered to pay, according to court records. In December, the city received a $9.2 million check from the sale of Crundwell’s property and assets. Money from other assets, such as her stake in 347 acres of farmland near Dixon, have come into the city as well. The city also received $30 million from a settlement with its former auditors and bank. That money does not count toward the restitution Crundwell must pay. With the recovery money, the city has paid off some of its debt and placed funds into reserves. It also used $1 million for the River Street sewer project and authorized the use of up to $1.2 million for repairs to the Dixon Public Library, leaving about $10 million.

Chili Cook-off is Sept. 27 Plans are underway for the Polo Chamber of Commerce annual Chili Cook-off on Saturday, Sept. 27. Cooking begins at 8 a.m. and tasting begins at noon. The event will be on Division Avenue right beside the Shell Express Lane. Trophies will be awarded for People’s Choice, Judge’s Choice, Showmanship and

This day also marks Polo All-Town Garage Sales event.

Voters may apply by mail or in person in Huntley’s office on the first floor of the Ogle County Courthouse on the corner of Washington (Ill.

Invasive species are killed during routine burns From A1 Crowe went on to talk about how several of the weeds and invasive species have trouble growing in the area because of the drier topsoil. When the prairie is burned, the native plants have the ability to regrow where the invasive species have limited abilities to survive. Seeding after the controlled burns ensures the prairie is restored. One advantage of the burning seems to be a decrease in the number of ticks. “It seems like the ticks are not as bad as they used to be,” said Crowe. “The burning may have kept their numbers down.” Sections of the Nachusa Grasslands are burned regularly. “Heinkle is burned every second or third year,” said Crowe. “We do controlled burns. If the fire department is called it is embarrassing.” The grasslands has

equipment to burn the prairie and the volunteers have been trained in safe burning practices. This includes setting up fire stops to keep the fire contained. “We also do not burn on windy days,” Crowe said. One large change heading to the grasslands in the future is a buffalo herd. “Buffalo will help bring back the diverse plants and wildlife in the prairie,” said Crowe. “Without buffalo you lose diversity. They help create layers of plant life.” When the buffalo trample the ground they create patches of land with different heights, Crowe said. This allows smaller plants to grow where before they may have been crowded out. Some birds prefer the diverse plant life. As the group transitioned from the prairie they were greeted with a savanna. A savanna has large trees growing on the land where on a prairie there are typically

no large trees. “This savanna was bare ground when we started,” said Crowe. “We have been spreading seeds and now 100 species are growing on this hill.” Like the prairie, controlled burns control the invasive species. Evidence of burning

was seen with some charred tree trunks. “This savanna has oak trees which are resistant to fires,” Crowe said. “The burning stays low in the underbrush.” When the group finished exploring East Heinkle Hill, they were brought back to the

entrance of the grasslands. East Heinkle Hill is a 200acre section of the 3,100 acres that make up the grasslands. Autumn on the Prairie had a variety of hikes and tours available for visitors to the grasslands. Each tour focused on different features within

Nachusa Grasslands. The grasslands in open to the public and is located between Dixon, Oregon and Franklin Grove on Lowden Road just south of Flagg Road. More than 700 native prairie plants grow at the grasslands.

FIRE SAFETY TIPS Every year fires kill more people in the United States than all natural disasters combined. Tragically, many of these deaths and injuries could have been prevented with safety precautions. Protect yourself and your family from harm by taking these simple measures: • • • • • • • • • •

Install smoke alarms outside sleeping areas and on each floor of your home and test them regularly. Keep fire extinguishers near places prone to fires, like stoves and fireplaces, and know how to use them. Eliminate electrical hazards, like overloaded outlets and frayed electrical cords. Have chimneys professionally inspected and cleaned each year. Use ashtrays to extinguish cigarettes and don’t smoke in bed. Take extra care around fireplaces and space heaters. Store flammable liquids in labeled metal containers away from heat sources Be careful when cooking, turning pot handles inward and unplugging appliances when not in use. Store matches, lighters and flammable materials out of children’s reach. Plan an escape route, with two ways to get out of every room in your home, and practice it often with your family.

Navy officer surprised by motorcycle parade Rick Knutson returned home from a tour in Afghanistan By Jermaine Pigee Sauk Valley Media As Rick Knutson and his wife pulled into Dixon, he wondered why a bunch of motorcycles were lined up at a gas station. “It was 9:30 p.m. on a Monday night,� he said. “I didn’t know what was going on.� But as he and Natasha drove a little closer, he saw some familiar faces. “We pulled in and I was like ‘I know all the people on the motorcycles,’� said Knutson, a Navy officer. “It was awesome, and it was cool to see everyone.� Knutson returned home from Afghanistan to a surprise parade and a welcome-home party. He also held Annalise, his four-month-old daughter, for the first time. “I’ve been able to see her on FaceTime,� Knutson said. “Everyone said she looks like me, and I guess she does.� Patriot Guard Riders waiting at the Marathon station escorted him through Dixon and into Polo, where the parade was held along Mason Street. He and his wife, Natasha, 28, drove to Polo in a white SUV with “Honk, A Soldier’s Home� in the back window. All along the way, people complied. A couple of military veterans even stopped to salute Knutson. Gas stations in Polo showed their support by displaying welcome-home messages on their marquees. Polo police and fire officials escorted him to Jeff’s Refs, 113 E. Mason St., for the party. About 50 people were in attendance. “I jumped in the back of the Polo fire truck and I rode into town,� said Knutson, 34. “I felt like a five-yearold kid riding in the fire truck.�

Knutson, a 1998 graduate of Polo High School, attended Naval basic training in Mississippi in January before going to Afghanistan in April, where he was a lieutenant junior grade in a mobile construction battalion. This was his first and only tour of duty in Afghanistan. “He has been in the Navy for 16 years,� Natasha said. “He went to the Navy right out of high school.� Knutson is not the only person in his family who served in the military. His brother Brett, 36, was a captain in the Army; he returned from Afghanistan in February 2013. Brother Kenny, 30, was a pharmacist technician in the Army. “He did five years of active duty and got out,� Rick said. “He was never deployed (to Afghanistan).� Knutson has signed his discharge papers and once his leave ends in October, his service is over. He’ll work at the Exelon Nuclear Plant in Byron as a mechanical engineer. Knutson said he is glad to be home. “It makes you appreciate what you have here a lot more,� he said. “It’s a different world, a different culture and a different way of living. Coming back to what you are used to is a pretty cool thing.� October also is when he and Natasha will celebrate their second anniversary. “We have been planning to see him, and I was ready,� she said. “I was nervous because we didn’t know he was coming. I knew a month ago he was shipping out, but I didn’t know exactly when.� Don Wolf, a Korean War veteran, organized the event. He said the city of Polo has not been welcoming its servicemen and women home, and he wants to change that.

Below, Knutson stands on the front porch with his mother, who is holding Annalise, and Natasha. Knutson was welcomed home Monday night after a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Photos by Philip Marruffo

“When I came home from the service in 1957, people never knew about it,� Wolf said. “I thought it was time to start recognizing soldiers who come home.�

Hawks first and Cards seventh By Andy Colbert Reporter For the second time this season, Oregon boys golf team won a tournament. On Saturday at Sunset Golf Course in Mt. Morris, the Hawks defeated 11 other teams to win the Sally Wessels Invitational. Led by top five finishes from Mitchell Nehrkorn with a 79 and Taylor Brubaker with an 80, Oregon edged Byron 328 to 331. Dennis Reedy of Byron was medalist on the par-72 course with a 76, as the final three holes were played in the rain. “We’re pretty balanced,” Oregon coach Jim Spratt said. “We have four golfers between a 40.6 and 42.6 scoring average and Tyler Black is at 44.” Sophomore Matt Myers chipped in an 83 just missing out on a 10th place medal. Carson Buck, who Spratt

calls the team’s steadiest golfer, long with Nehrkorn, added an 86. Black (89) and Dominic Marchetti (91) had non-scoring rounds. “We can score one through six,” Spratt said. “Dominic is doing a good job at No. 6, but Kyle Lundquist and Zach Stromberg are pushing him.” Spratt has been especially pleased with the progress shown by Brubaker, the No. 3 behind Nehrkorn and Buck. “Taylor’s really been coming on. We’ll need that come regional time,” Spratt said. “Overall, Mitchell has the potential to be our best golfer, but can be up and down, just like Phil Mickelson.” Oregon closes out the regular season with the BNC meet at Timber Point next Thursday. Byron is undefeated in conference duals and is the only team Oregon (6-1) has lost to. Those two schools, along

with Rockford Christian, which finished third in the Sally Wessels with a total of 345, are in the same regional. In a real blow, the IHSA has also sent 1A power North Shore Country Day to the Byron regional. “Oh my God. Why’d they ship North Shore to Byron?” said an incredulous Spratt. “What a silly thing. That’s four quality teams going for three spots.” Forreston took seventh with a 390, led by an impressive 83 from sophomore Bryan Edler. Other scores ranged from 98 to 113. The Cardinals are at 7-2 in conference play with losses to league favorite Stockton and also to Pecatonica. Brothers Markus and Bryan Edler have been the top golfers for Forreston with Nathan Schneidmerman a strong No. 3. “The top three kids have separated themselves from the

others. We still need to find that fourth score,” Forreston coach Matt Handley said. On October 2, the Cardinals will compete in the NUIC tournament at Park Hills in Freeport. “We’re a little inexperienced, but should be right in the mix,” Handley said. Handley likes his team’s chances to advance out of the regional at Lake Carroll the following week. The regional will be a repeat of the conference meet, as the exact same teams will be present at both. “We caught a break going there. Byron’s stacked,” Handley said. Last year, Forreston was assigned to the other regional and finished fourth behind Byron, Oregon and Rockford Christian, one spot away from advancing. Marcus Edler did advance to the sectional as an individual.

Cardinals remain undefeated After three plays against Warren it looked like it was going to be business as usual for the Forreston Cardinals, but Forreston held strong for the win Friday night. The defense forced a three and out. Unfortunately for

the Cardinals, undefeated Warren was going to make Forreston earn a victory. On the punt the Warren defense stripped the ball from Robert DeVries and recovered the ball to get good field position.

The Forreston defense held strong forcing a second three and out without any rest. DeVries had a solid return and the Cardinals marched down the field. Spencer Cruthis put the first points on the board on a 4-yard run with 6:57 left in the first quarter. A Warren penalty on the field goal attempt allowed the Cardinals to try a 2 point conversion which Cruthis ran in. Warren showed they could move the ball against the Forreston defense and answered with a score of their own to tie the game at 8 with 2:09 left in the first quarter. Forreston had another solid drive capped off with a 15yard Max Barkalow rush with 28 seconds left in the quarter. The extra point was no good. Up 14-8 the Cardinals decided to try and surprise the Warren special teams and did an onside kick. Forreston recovered the ball. Fifty seconds into the second quarter Cruthis had a 6-yard rush for a touchdown to give the Cardinals a 20-8

lead. The extra point was no good. Later in the quarter DeVries added another touchdown on a fake handoff to Cruthis. DeVries ran the ball in on a 4-yard rush to take a 26-8 lead. Forreston came out strong in the second half and Cruthis had his third touchdown of the night on a 2-yard run to give the Cardinals a 32-8 lead. Warren never gave up and found a hole in the Forreston special teams for a 78-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to make the score 32-14. Forreston would not allow Warren to score again. DeVries completed a 9-yard pass to Keegan Akins with 7 minutes left in the third quarter and he had another touchdown pass to Wyatt Kerchner with 18 seconds left in the third on a 26-yard play. Forreston had a 44-14 lead going into the fourth quarter. Cruthis capped off his night on a 4-yard touchdown run with just under 6 minutes to play. Forreston won the game 50-14 to stay undefeated.

The bus ride from Milledgeville to Polo was serious. “We wanted to come out and punch them in the mouth right from the start,” Missiles quarterback Jordan Harris said. “We knew they got into the rankings this week, and we wanted to get after them.” The Missiles got after Class 1A No. 7-ranked Polo by recovering their onside kick to open the game, and turned it into a quick score. But when Polo was able to get the ball to its athletes, the Missiles had no answer. Polo scored 23 unanswered points in the second half to cruise to a 52-27 win in an NUIC Upstate rivalry game Friday night before a crowd that left no empty seats. Marcos quarterback Brody Grobe led a balanced offensive attack that relentlessly pressured the Missiles (1-3) defense in the final two quarters. Grobe rushed for 102 yards and three touchdowns, while passing for 144 yards and two more scores through the air. Grobe hooked up with receiver Brad Cavanaugh for touchdown strikes of 78 and

27 yards, while completing 8 of 11 passes. “We were trying to look for our athletes and get the the ball in the open field,” Grobe said. “[Milledgeville] really came after us, and we just had to settle down at halftime, and do what we needed to do.” Marcos junior running back Dylan Beers carried the bulk of the rushing load in the first half, picking up all of his 58 yards in the first two quarters and scored touchdowns on runs of 13 and 3 yards. The Missiles were able to keep pace with the highoctane Marcos offense in the first half. The Marcos secondary had fits with receiver Blake Kappes. Harris and Kappes have been friends for 14 years and grew up playing catch in the yard. The chemistry has boiled over into Friday nights, as the two took their game of catch to the field and hooked up six times for 118 yards and a 34-yard touchdown on the game’s first drive. Kappes hauled in 110 of those yards in the first half. “We play catch every day and work on things to get better every chance we get,” Harris said. “I look for him Turn to B2

Polo remains undefeated From B1 when I get in trouble. He’s my go-to guy out there.” Milledgeville was successful in keeping Polo off balance in the first half, mixing in deep passing plays with effective rushes outside the tackles, all out of the pistol set. Being able to successfully pass and run out of the pistol helped Milledgeville come back from an early 18-6 deficit, to storm into the lead (19-18) with 4:10 left in the half. After trading touchdowns late in the first

half, Polo’s Cavanaugh kicked a 23-yard field goal as time expired to put the Marcos up 29-27, and they never looked back. Halftime adjustments by Polo halted the Missiles’ progress in the second half, and the offense thrived on good field position. “We just weren’t able to pick up their blitzes,” Missiles coach Jason Wroble said. “They created trouble for us that we didn’t have an answer for.” The Marcos (4-0) had a lively halftime speech in the locker room and adjusted

The doorbell rang just before kickoff between NUIC Upstate rivals Milledgeville and Polo at a house on the corner of Dixon and Campbell. It was the pizza man, and the O’Briens were having a party. “My sister bought this house a little more than a year ago, and this is the place to be on Friday nights,” Amanda O’Brien said. O’Brien is a Polo resident, who helps host a party complete with a cooler full of drinks, a bonfire, pizza and best of all – a perfect view of the football field. “When the team is playing well, you can feel it,” O’Brien said. “It’s so much fun. The atmosphere of the fans in the stadium makes its way to this backyard, and we just have so much fun.” The Marcos’ recent success, namely a 4-0 start to the season for the first time since 1997 after a 52-27 win over rival Milledgeville, has helped jump start an already loyal fan base into the place to be on Friday nights. Cars lined the streets outside Polo’s football stadium. Fans milled around the stadium. Adults and kids alike played

the defense to shut down the Missiles running game. The linebackers stepped up into the box, and the defensive ends contained the edges, leaving no room to run. “We had to make some serious cahanges to what we were doing defensively,” Cavanaugh said. “We had The Polo golf went on the to bring our guys in and fill road Sept. 17 to face Eastland gaps and give them no room in Lake Carroll. to make plays. The Marcos earned a 195204 win. “It’s how we wanted to Leading the way for Polo play, and that second half is was Tristin Woodin with a how we know we can play, 46. and how we should have started.”

catch with a football before the game. There was no place to park, as the parking lots were filled more than an hour before game time. An RV was set up with all the fixins for a tailgate complete with bag games and grills. There were no empty seats in the stands, and the fans made the stands shake after a Polo touchdown. Pat Burden, a retired farmer from Erie, makes his way to Polo’s home games each Friday, because the Marcos deliver the excitement he has been searching for. “This is a great atmosphere,” Burden said though a full white beard that hid is rosey cheeks from the crisp breeze. “I come up to Polo for the games. It’s fun for me.” Annette Ditzler was huddled with her family members in the corner of the bleachers, and marveled at the way the town supports the program. For Don Ditzler, who was lucky enough to find a prime seat for the game, each Friday home game takes him back to the past. “It reminds me of the old days,” Don Ditzler said. “It’s just what you do in Polo now. It’s pretty exciting.” The Marcos thrashed the

Missiles in the second half, scoring 26 unanswered points, 23 of which came in the second half, and captivated the full house throughout the game. Explosive plays from receiver Brad Cavanaugh on touchdown catches from Brody Grobe of 78 and 27 yards sent the crowd into a frenzy that rattled the ear drums of many. “This is one of the largest crowds we’ve had here,” Marcos coach Andrew Hofer said after the win. “It’s fantastic for these people to come out here and support the kids. You can tell it gets them going.” Another man, Kevin Deets, a Polo graduate, still comes back for the football and for the pep band, and didn’t even bother trying to find a seat among the football-crazed fans that filled the bleachers. “I’m a pep band alumni,” Deets said while standing near several trumpets saving the spots for band members. “When they’re good, it’s always so much more fun. “This is one of the best atmospheres you will find. It’s pretty typical for people to come out here, but when they’re good, good luck finding a seat.”

Marcos win over Eastland Christopher Rademacher finished the day with a 48, Mack Llanas had a 49, and Brix Clayton had a 52. Other finishers were Alex Scherer with a 54, and Matthew Handel with a 61. The low round of the day

was posted by Eastlands Austin Poffenberger with a 45. Polo has a 6-4 conference record and is 6-6 overall this season. The JV team lost 274-240.

Cards defeat West Carroll The Forreston Cardinals hosted West Carroll Sept. 17 at Sunset in Mt. Morris. Forreston earned the victory 181-188. Leading the way for the Cardinals was Bryan Edler

with a 42. Markus Edler was 1 stroke back with a 43, and Nathan Schneiderman had a 45. Other Forreston scores were Nolan Edler with a 51, Mitchell Bratina with a 28,

and Nathan Stukenberg with a 48. Forreston is 7-2 in the conference and 8-3 overall for the season after this match.

teams would match up. The place was packed early, prompting John Bothe to comment that he had never seen such a large crowd at a sophomore contest. Bringing Dixon into the BNC was not by unanimous accord by everyone within the Oregon coaching community. There is still some contention about

competing against a substantially larger (783 to 467 enrollment) school. As a fan, I love having them in the conference. The town of Dixon and the support they show for high school sports will be a tremendous asset to the BNC. There was excitement in the air at their packed stadium on Friday. Compared to trips to places like RichmondBurton, Johnsburg and Clifton Central, the 16-mile drive down Highway 2 was a snap. With Ace Hardware closing, we could even time our hardware purchases with trips to Dixon for sporting events. As a football coach, I’m not so sure how I would feel. Years ago, it would have been unfathomable for Dixon and Oregon to compete in football. On Friday, it was apparent that the Dukes had better athletes and more speed, perhaps a refection of a bigger 4A school versus a team from the lower enrollment end of 3A. One thing is certain – Dixon is on the upswing after a few down years. Rockford Lutheran has separated itself from everyone else in the conference, even Stillman Valley and Winnebago, who are both down from last year. The Crusaders appear

headed to an unbeaten record and another long 4A playoff run. Following a 40-0 loss to Oregon, Rock Falls’ coach Scott Berge announced he would resign at the end of the year. Probably just as well based upon a quote from him on why his team refused to punt deep in their own territory. He said the kids didn’t want to, so he went along with it. If you’re the head coach, you need to be in charge, not the kids. On to Forreston and Polo and the exciting ride both are on. If the 4-0 Marcos beat Freeport Aquin this week, Polo should be a lock for the NUIC Upstate title. This is one explosive team with speed galore and one looking to gain respect from any remaining naysayers. I look forward heading to Polo this Friday and seeing the renaissance of the community’s support for football. Polo has always been a football town through the Dwight Sellers, Wade Winekauf and Ted Alston eras. My favorite year would have to be the ’83 team that had the misfortune of facing powerhouse Woodstock Marian in the 2A semifinals. Talk about a tough draw. If Le-Win can beat EPC

Andy Colbert

(2A) this week, it will be No. 1 against No. 2 in 1A the following week between Le-Win and Forreston. If LeWin loses to EPC, Forreston will likely take over the No. 1 ranking. Another factor in all of this is that Polo travels to EPC the same night as the Le-Win-Forreston game. Depending on how these games play out, we’ll have a better idea of the potential favorite for a 1A state title, especially since three of the last four state champs in 1A came from the NUIC. My dream scenario would be for the IHSA to go to 16-team brackets, like they did in 2012, and Polo and Forreston ended up meeting in the semifinals for a trip downstate. My early choice for a state title is Forreston.

Astrograph Make things happen Thursday, September 25, 2014 This year will be a dynamic one if you are prepared to take on new challenges. Your talents will go to waste if you are too casual in presenting what you have to offer. Strive to get ahead by honing your skills and mastering the arts of promotion and networking. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -You have the ability to influence others to do things your way. Once you have determined what you need, initiate a discussion with people in a position to help you out. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You will waste time if you are bouncing back and forth between different tasks. Formulate a concrete plan and cross off each step as you move along. Organization will lead to success. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- An unusual pathway will reveal itself via a new acquaintance. You will reap the benefits from something you’ve been working on for a long time. Minor health issues will cause a setback. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- There will be tension in

your personal relationships. Rather than try to influence those around you, let them do their own thing. Occupy yourself with a personal project instead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A partnership with someone you admire will produce lucrative results. Be ready to act when the opportunity arises. Engage in projects that you can do with someone you love. Romance looks promising. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Practical matters will keep you busy. Save yourself some anguish by clearing up health or legal issues as soon as they crop up. A renovation venture will bring favorable results. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you feel something needs to be said, speak up. Your frankness may catch a colleague off-guard, but most people will admire your honesty. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Be optimistic, and leave the past behind. Focus on the positive people and activities in your life, and reject negative thoughts and people who bring you down.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Take a pleasure trip. Unfamiliar surroundings will spark your creative imagination and influence your way of thinking. A novel direction appears to be possible. Embrace new beginnings. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t rush into a delicate situation. Remain in control and try to find an arrangement that will be agreeable and fair to everyone concerned. Your candor will be appreciated. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You’ll be distressed about business deals, financial issues or health matters. Don’t confide in a close friend when going to an experienced source for advice is what’s required. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -If you investigate an interesting career possibility, you could find a way to instigate some forward motion. It’s up to you to make things happen.
