Restoration on statue continues Black Hawk will be completed

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Project engineer Amy Lamb-Woods said Tuesday that restoration work on the Black Hawk Statue should be completed next summer.

“We are still in the mockup phase and CSOS [Conservation of Sculpture & Objects Studio, Forest Park] is still working on submittals and samples,” said Lamb-Woods, an engineer with Chicago-based Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SG&H), in an email.

Both CSOS and SG&H are under contract, she said, with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) to repair the damage to the 104-year-old statue that stands on a high bluff overlooking the Rock River at Lowden State Park near Oregon.

Time and weather have damaged the statue to the point that portions of the

exterior 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.

Work crews began cleaning the statue during the summer and doing mockups to see what samples of materials would work best for the repairs.

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

Over the years, it has undergone numerous repairs.

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

The protective covering has been left in place because it is also rain-proof and allows the crew to work in wet weather.

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Two local men are looking for volunteers to join them for a winter getaway in the tropics — sort of.

Bill Hare, Mt. Morris, and David Poole, Polo, will return to Honduras Jan. 7-17 for a mission trip and are hoping for a few more willing men and women to go with them.

“We’d like to have 15 or 16 people,” Hare said.

The purpose of the trip is to build homes for families who cannot afford the materials for them.

They are going to is Las

Palmas, an hour and a half south of the capital city of Tegucigalpa.

Details of the upcoming trip will be available in an informational meeting on Sunday, Oct. 25 at 2 p.m. at the Polo Church of the Brethren, 401 S. Congress Ave. Hare, a veteran of 30 such mission trips, urged anyone who is interested in making the trip or helping in any way to attend the meeting.

“We need people to go along to learn as well as help us,” he said. “It’s very rewarding.”

Poole said he decided to go after hearing Hare’s Turn to A3

Hickory Grove manager said she just needed help

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com A Rochelle businesswoman said she just wanted a little help when she started seeking board members to sit on the Ogle County Civic Center Authority (OCCCA).

Robin Baldwin-Gounaris said Oct. 1 that the repairs at the Hickory Grove Banquet Center, 1127 N. Seventh St., were straining her budget, and she wanted board members who have the same goal she does — keeping the business open.

“I went out and looked for people who could help save Hickory Grove,” she said.

A Rochelle native, Baldwin-Gounaris, 57, lived in Chicago for many years and returned to Rochelle a decade ago and began managing Hickory Grove, which now includes Hickory Grove Banquets, Abraham’s Bar & Grille, deVine Wine bar, The Pump Club, and Abe’s Tiki Bar. She came under fire Sept. 15 at the Ogle County Board meeting when board member Bruce McKinney, Rochelle, voiced his opposition to the appointment of an applicant to OCCCA. McKinney objected because he said Baldwin-Gounaris has too much influence on who was applying for seats on OCCCA. The State’s Attorney, Juvenile, & Probation Committee interviews

applicants for OCCCA and then recommends who should be appointed to the county board, which makes the actual appointment.

According to Ogle County State’s Attorney Eric Morrow OCCCA owns Hickory Grove and has authority over it.

“As far as I know the civic center authority is the owner,” he said Monday.

“The county’s only responsibility is appointing the board [OCCCA] members.”

It’s not as if OCCCA board members appeared enthusiastic to serve.

Fire burned 100 acres

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Firefighters from three counties battled a winddriven field fire late Monday afternoon that burned more than 100 acres near Stillman Valley.

“We got multiple reports about 4:45 of a fire in a corn field that had been picked,” said Stillman Valley Deputy Fire Chief Greg Kunce. “We were there in three minutes, and by the time we got there it had already taken off toward a wooded tree line and went into a field of standing corn.”

Kunce, who is also a lieutenant on the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department, said

winds of 35 to 40 mph fanned the blaze, causing it to spread rapidly.

Because the fire was near a residential area and farm buildings, Kunce said 14 fire departments from Ogle, Winnebago, and DeKalb Counties were called to help get the fire under control.

The fire started, he said, out in a field approximately a halfmile north of Stillman Valley on Stillman Valley Road, in an area where a work crew had been installing new utility poles.

Kunce said the crew had just left for the day about 20 minutes before the fire was reported.

He said the preliminary investigation indicates

that heat from some of the equipment the crew was using may have ignited the cornstalks.

“This is not suspicious at all, but we do want to stress situational awareness,” he said. “It’s that time of year that we want everyone to be aware of the potential for fires.”

He said winds can carry burning embers onto roofs, igniting buildings.

Firefighters remained on the scene for three hours, and then were called back a short time later when some trees rekindled.

Twelve new utility poles, each valued at $500, were destroyed in the fire, and a skid steer sustained an estimated $2,500 in damage, Kunce said.

Work continues on statue From A1 Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, the statue was named to a less desirable list earlier this year.

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.

Houses will be built for several Honduras families From A1 presentation several years ago, and since then he’s gone eight times.

“I’m glad I did. It’s very eye-opening,” he said.

His wife Linda, a retired registered nurse, also goes.

Hare explained that the area the group travels to is remote, and its people live in poverty.

The only work available to local residents is seasonal and very labor-intensive.

“If men can find work, they make maybe $3 a day,” he said. “Goods, when they are available, cost about the same as they do here.”

Without modern tools, the jobs they can find are not easy.

“It’s tremendously hard work,” Hare said.

Compounding the difficulty is that the area has been experiencing a multiyear drought which has diminished the crops they can grow and harvest, he said.

The group of volunteers is tasked with building seven houses in the 10 days they are there. The homes will be simple structures, 18 feet square and made of concrete blocks with corrugated metal roofs and concrete floors.

The concrete blocks used for the houses will be made at the building site.

Volunteers mix the concrete by hand, usually in a large pit in the ground. The sand and gravel that goes into the concrete mixture must be carried from the river banks.

Three blocks can be made at a time, and a good crew can turn out approximately

60 an hour, Hare said.

The Polo Council of Churches gave the money for a block-making machine several years ago, making the process far easier than before.

Although the new homes are more than modest by U.S. standards, Hare said they are a vast improvement over the stick and mud houses the residents currently have.

Hare explained that the houses are built only for families who have requested them and who have a title to the property.

A local housing committee decides which families will get new homes, based on need.

The home recipients and entire community are happy to pitch in and help with the

construction, he said.

“They are very appreciative,” Hare said.

The volunteers going on the mission trip come from all over the local area and several states and will pay their own travel and lodging costs.

They also buy materials for the building projects they help with.

Hare’s group works with the Christian Solidarity Program in Honduras.

While they are there, the volunteers will also hold Bible studies for children and adults who choose to attend.

The volunteers take clothing and hand tools with them, which are then sold at Honduran-run garage sales.

Items are priced according

to the customer’s ability to pay, and the money raised goes back into the community.

The volunteers stay at a local school and sleep dormitory-style on cots.

Cooks are hired to fix meals.

Transportation to the work sites is a flatbed truck or dump truck over dirt roads “paved” with large rocks.

The volunteer crew works from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. typically, in 90 to 100 degree temperatures.

“The humidity is very, very low,” Poole said. “But it’s hot — you drink a lot of water.”

Hare agreed. “You feel like you’re married to your water bottle,” he said with a grin.

Since 2006, Hare’s Honduras Mission Project working with the Christian Solidarity Program has rehabbed a clinic in San Juan Baptista, and built 52 homes,

Homes like this one, made of mud and sticks, will be replaced with a structure made of concrete blocks by volunteers on the January mission trip. Photo supplied

32 latrines, 10 small water tanks, and one 10,000 gallon water tank in Los Ranchos and Las Palmas.

Although construction is the primary focus, they have also provided educational sponsorships for youth and

adults, and provided food and clothing, job skills training, medical needs, and school supplies.

For more information or to make a contribution to help with the trip call Hare at 815734-4268.

Benefit 5K race set for Oct. 24 A Pink Up the Pace 5K and one mile run will be held on Saturday, Oct. 24 to help a Mt. Morris family with medical expenses.

The event is being held to benefit Christa Heitter, who is battling recurring cancer.

Heitter and her husband Seth are the parents of two.

She also operates the Little Gems Daycare out of her home.

After beating breast cancer in 2012, Heitter is back in the ring to take on cancer again.

This time, cancer has reappeared in her bones and lymph nodes, an automatic classification of stage 4.

Recently Heitter has undergone radiation for several cancerous spots on her brain.

Although no cure is available, there is a chance of remission. It is likely the cancer will continue reoccurring.

Because of the multiple expenses the Heitter family has incurred and will continue to incur throughout

the process, the 5K and run are planned.

The one mile run will begin at 8:30 a.m. and the 5K will begin at 9 a.m. on Oct. 24.

David L. Rahn Junior High School, Mt. Morris, will be the starting and finishing location for both races.

Registration for this event is recommended prior to the event, and registration forms and race information can be found at the Facebook Page, PINK Up The Pace 5K.

On-site registration the morning of the event is also possible for interested participants.

The 5K is $20 per participant, and the one mile run is $10 per participant.

This race is sponsored by the Oregon High School National Honor Society and DLR Homerooms, with the assistance of many community volunteers.

David Rogula and Tom Gale of Farrell-Holland-Gale Funeral Home for the beautiful service. The many acts of kindness and sympathy continue to be a great comfort to us in our time of sorrow.

Sincerely the family of Nancy Bunger For those of you that stopped in the Flower Patch to “pass” a message on to Milford, although a seemingly nice gesture, for a man that lost his wife of 63 years a more personal acknowledgement of a call or a card would have been appreciated.

We blame the lack of communication on the youth, but adults are very much to blame as well.

Sincerely Teresa Bunger

Flu shots are now available

By Joanie D. Padilla Director Health Education Emergency Preparedness Ogle County Health Department

Flu season often brings with it many myths and misconceptions with regards to the vaccine used to combat it.

Four common flu vaccine myths and facts are listed below to help you have a healthy flu season.

1. Myth: You can catch the flu from the vaccine.

Fact: The vaccine is made from an inactivated virus that cannot transmit infection.

Those who get sick following the vaccination were going to get sick anyway.

2. Myth: Healthy people do not need to be vaccinated.

Fact: Everyone can benefit from being vaccinated.

The virus can be spread by both healthy and unhealthy people, so if you don’t get it, you could pass it on to

somebody you know.

3. Myth: You don’t need to get a flu shot every year.

Fact: The flu virus changes every year so it is important to vaccinate yourself annually.

This ensures that you have immunity to the strains most likely to cause an outbreak.

4. Myth: Getting the flu vaccination is all you need to do to protect yourself from the flu.

Fact: Though the vaccination is the best protection against the flu it is not the only way to protect against the virus.

Avoiding those who have the flu and regular hand washing are examples of measures that should be taken to ensure your health this flu season.

The Ogle County Health Department is offering flu vaccinations during the month of October.

The fee for a seasonal flu quadrivalent vaccination is

$35.

All dates are for adults only unless otherwise noted.

Medicare billing is available.

Operation Rebuild, a local non-profit organization, is coordinating a building project and looking for volunteers to help Rick and Dawn Geist rebuild their home, which was destroyed in the tornado in Fairdale on April.

The framing of the house is scheduled to begin on Thursday, Oct. 22. Some funds are available for the building materials, but volunteer labor is needed to

The family lost their farm, including their home, horse barn, pole barn, some animals and most of their belongings.

After living in a motel with their two dogs for more than four months, they have purchased land in Oregon to rebuild their lives.

Suicide support group will meet Area suicide support groups, Ray of Hope and Touched By Suicide Survivors Gather, are collaborating to sponsor a one-woman show with performances in Rockford and Sterling.

The show will be presented on Friday, Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the U of I College of Medicine, Rockford, and on Saturday, Nov. 21 at 2:30 p.m. at the Sterling High School Auditorium.

It is free and open to the public.

This special event provides a unique format for examining the lifelong process of survival following a suicide.

The solo performer, Jen Tuder, creates three distinct characters that represent different aspects of her survival experience.

Her father’s decision to take his life irrevocably changed hers.

“I wanted to make a show that didn’t simply rehearse pain, but would provide instruction in hope. All kinds of survivors (as well as the general public) will find something in the show that helps them keep body and soul together,” she said.

For more information contact Bud Wiener at 815732-7486 or bpwiener@ yahoo.com.

Most OCCCA members didn’t re-apply From A1 Most board members just stayed on even though their five-year terms expired, without ever applying for reappointment.

Baldwin-Gounaris questions if their service under those circumstances was legal.

Morrow said his research indicates it is.

“How this works is if you’re on a board, you serve until your successor is appointed even if your term is up,” he said.

Sometimes, BaldwinGounaris said only three or four members attended OCCCA meetings, and minutes weren’t always kept.

That, Morrow said, would be illegal — OCCCA, like any other publicly-appointed board is subject to the Illinois

Open Meetings Act, which requires keeping minutes among other things.

Baldwin-Gounaris took matters in her own hands and asked OCCCA members if she could approach people to serve on the board. After getting permission, she set out to do just that.

She found nine people, including her own mother, willing to serve, and they were appointed.

“Having nine new board members who focus on the things I used to means I can concentrate on my business,” she said.” They understand the issues and know that I need help.”

Baldwin-Gounaris said she pays $3,500 a month rent to OCCCA, and over the years extensive repairs to the inside and out have come out of her pocket or through her

fundraising efforts.

With four banquet rooms, a restaurant and bar, and wine room over three floors, that’s draining her budget, she said.

“The ‘old’ board never lifted a finger, never researched grants, never helped me clean up fecal matter when old pipes burst into the lobby, or help clean up from ceilings caving in from the old roof, “ she said.

“I focused so much on saving the building that my actual business started hurting.”

Baldwin-Gounaris would like to see the building restored to its former status, when it was the Vagabond Resort.

“People came from Chicago for a getaway. I swam in the pool when I was a teenager,” she said. “There were bands. I’d like to bring

that back. The building has so much potential. We could hold concerts and other events here.”

Ogle County Board Chairman Kim Gouker said the OCCCA was created in 1983 by a county board resolution.

At that time, he said, state money was available from dog racing to establish and operate civic centers.

“It was put together to take advantage of funding available at the time.

Unfortunately that dried up,” he said.

Morrow said the 1983 resolution was passed by the county board, rather than the Rochelle City Council, because of the population requirement in the state’s metropolitan civic center authority statute at that time.

Youth invited to join one of the local 4-H clubs Contact the U of I Extension office for club information

One out of every seven adults in the U.S. is a former 4-H member. Clubs are accepting new members this month to grow that number even higher.

More than six million youth across the country celebrated National 4-H Week Oct. 4-10.

Development programs in 4-H provide hands-on

learning activities for youth in Illinois and throughout the country. 4-H youth programs focus on leadership, citizenship and life skills.

Every county in Illinois has a 4-H program which is operated through University of Illinois Extension. 4-H club membership is open to youth aged 8 to 18.

Youth 5 to 7 years of age may join the 4-H Cloverbud program.

Programs offer several ways to participate in 4-H. Youth may join 4-H community clubs, coordinated by local certified

Each club decides how often it meets, the location of its meetings, and the activities held during the meeting.

Members may select from over 100 different project areas to study while they build leadership, teamwork, cooperation, decisionmaking, and communication skills.

“Youth may also choose to focus on a very specific project area and join a club specifically related to that one project,” said Jodi Baumgartner, University of Illinois Extension 4-H

Program Coordinator.

Robotics, photography, gardening, visual arts, and nutrition, are just a few of the popular topics for special interest clubs.

Youth may also participate in 4-H through short-term projects held during school or at after school youth organizations.

Some of these popular groups teach youth about caring for the environment, preparing for a career, making healthy choices, or other priority issues which build a person’s life skills.

Public Voice directly for the benefit of classrooms and children.

I hope the entire community is there in force to witness and participate in the event.

In case you hadn’t noticed, the state board of education recently ordered the school district to stop the practice of using the transportation fund to pay for non-transportation administrative salaries.

Transportation funds are intended for the safe and secure transport of students, not for administrators not involved in transportation work.

Rochelle Veterinary Hospital

support staff cuts are planned this year.

The board’s top priority should be using its scarce resources for people and programs that are closest to the children and the classrooms.

That means classroom supplies, quality school programs, professional educators and support staff.

The school board should keep its commitment. This is no time for cost shifting and over spending on administrative salaries.

Please come to the public hearing at Monday, Oct. 19,

Dear Editor, So much for our school district’s commitment to spend its money directly for the benefit of classrooms and children.

On Oct. 19, the Oregon School District #220 Board of Education will sponsor a public hearing that seeks your viewpoint on whether or not it should shift more money into administrative salaries or keep that money

Because of this order, the school board now needs to find money from a new source to pay for administrative salaries that had been improperly taken from transportation.

The board is required to hold a public hearing on this matter because administrative costs will exceed the state limit allowed without a waiver of the law.

Our schools, children and classrooms are already struggling financially. The number of teachers has already been cut. Class sizes are up. More teacher and

Oregon artist preparing for show in New York City

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com An Oregon artist has spent the last few months getting ready for two major shows.

Mary Salstrom has been creating art work a show at the Prince Street Gallery in New York City from April 26 through May 21, and hopes to schedule another later on in Sweden.

Salstrom’s oil paintings depict the colorful landscapes around Oregon, where she grew up, and in Sweden, the homeland of her ancestors.

She is preparing an exchange exhibition with a working title of “Where the Swedes Came From and Where They Settled, 1850 to 1910,” when 1.5 million Swedes from southern Sweden, including her greet-great-grandfather, immigrated to the USA. For the last 27 years, Salstrom has been doing some of her creative work at the estate of the late Janet

McGinn on Ill. 2 north of Oregon.

A carriage house on the property has been converted into a cozy cottage with a spacious art studio where Salstrom does much of her painting.

She also paints at various sites around the area.

Salstrom has always loved to draw, but took no lessons while growing up.

Initially she drew from photographs.

“I knew I could draw,” she said. “My mother always praised my drawing.”

After graduating from Pratt Institute in New York City, she went to Greece.

“I wanted to see the landscape that inspired the poetry,” Salstrom said.

She painted her first landscape while in Crete.

After graduate school, she studied in Maine where she learned to mix colors.

“My teacher there encouraged me to think of color in a different way,” she said.

Salstrom’s mastery of color is evident in her vivid

Mary Salstrom poses between two of her paintings of scenes along the Rock River. Photo by Vinde Wells

paintings of the wildflowers growing in local prairies and river scenes.

Salstrom said she especially enjoyed painting in the garden of the king and

queen of Sweden, where she captured the subtle hues of the landscape there.

“I love to experiment and I love technique,” she said.

Guest pastor at Forreston UMC on Sunday, Oct. 25 United Methodist Pastor Rich Rubietta, Park Ridge, will lead a special musical worship service hosted by Forreston First and Leaf River United Methodist Churches.

The service will be held at First UMC, 402 First Ave., Forreston, on Sunday, Oct. 25 at 9 a.m.

Rubietta is a songwriter and worship consultant who conducts high-

energy, interactive worship experiences which include audience participation and upbeat versions of familiar hymns and original material.

A graduate of Northwestern University with a degree in music and an Illinois Arts Council Arts Tour artist, Rubietta has been offering new styles to traditional church hymns and songs.

“I’m finding that folks in

the church of all ages and all denominations are yearning to sing their faith using music that moves them on a deeper emotional and spiritual level,” he said.

“My goal is give everyone freedom to try new things or not, without any pressure. As long as the local musicians and I can facilitate an experience that helps people feel God’s presence, then it’s mission accomplished.”

Ghostly Tales in German Valley The German Valley Historical Society will sponsor Ghostly Tales with local writer Terri Reid on Saturday, Oct. 24 at 7 p.m. at the German

Valley Historical Museum, 805 Church St. No admission will be charged for the event.

Reid will regale you with her

supernatural stories guaranteed to send shivers down your spine.

Door prizes will be awarded and donuts and cider will be served.

Cardinals score early, lose 40-20 Heading into Fridays game with Le-Win, the Cardinals knew they were going to face a tough opponent.

Forreston has played in tough conditions and seemed ready for the challenge.

Quarterback Caleb Poffenberger put the Cardinals on top 8-0 early in the game on a 37 yard strike to AJ Christensen.

The lead was short lived however. Le-Win responded with a 70 yard kick return for a touchdown.

Forreston stayed with LeWin throughout the first half but in the second half the lead grew.

Le-Win picked up the 4020 to remain undefeated.

The loss brings Forreston’s record to 5-2 on the season and is third in the conference behind Le-Win and the 6-1 Dakota Indians.

Christensen had 107 yards on 13 carries with two touchdowns.

Matt Akins had 56 yards on 19 carries. Logan Rogers had 54 yards on 17 carries.

Forreston returns home Oct. 16 when they host the 1-6 Eastland team.

The regular season ends on the road Oct. 23 at Pecatonica who are currently 1-6.

Grobe scores three in first quarter Watching the first quarter of Polo’s game against Freeport Aquin was all about the Brooks Grobe show.

He had three touchdown runs in the first quarter on rushes of 16, 48, and 32 Forreston’s Tyler Bryant and Gavin Fuchs make a tackle yards.

He added a 63 yard run on the East Dubuque running back Oct. 2. Photo by in the third quarter and Chris Johnson

he also caught an 11-yard touchdown pass from Brody Grobe.

Brooks finished the game with 188 yards on the ground with four touchdowns and had the receiving touchdown.

Polo easily handled Aquin by a final score of 61-7.

Brad Cavanaugh booted a 25-yard field goal, and took back an interception 66 yards for a TD. Tristen Aguilar capped off the scoring for Polo (70, 6-0 NUIC Upstate) with a 59-yard run in the fourth quarter.

Polo has earned the top

defensive spot in Illinois.

The Marcos have only allowed 21 points this season.

The second best is Whitney Young who has allowed 26 points.

The previous leader, Marshall, gave up 31 points Friday night.

Oregon and Byron. Seedings are often hard to figure out and sometimes can be political in nature.

Just ask any basketball coach, whom seems to get more worked over seedings than coaches in other sports.

In this case, it may not matter much, as those four are really good teams. Oregon will need to get by Keith to advance out of the regional, but they will have the home court advantage.

When the Blackhawk Center was built, who would have thought all these years later it would be paying extra dividends for Hawk athletes.

In what I consider the mentally toughest of all high school sports, boys and girls golfers from Forreston, Oregon and Polo failed to qualify for the state tourney

this weekend.

It was a close call from the regional on to the sectional for all of them. However, credit needs to go to our friends in Byron for pulling off the double win with both the boys and girls advancing.

Other than the crosscountry sectional, incidentally hosted by Oregon, the toughest small-school meet in northern Illinois is the Amboy Columbus Day Invite.

Upon reviewing the results, what jumped out is the lack of area talent. The top teams were from central Illinois and the suburbs.

The dyestat.com state rankings bear that out, with no boys or girls teams from northern Illinois in the top 10 for 1A. Where did all our runners go?

Sports Column Busy weekend for our athletes

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com

After spending an extended weekend in Salt Lake City, site of EPSN Game Day and a big Utah Utes win over Cal, my Tuesday morning was spent catching up on all the Ogle county high school sports news.

I was sorry to hear about Oregon’s playoff chance going away in football, surprised that Oregon volleyball team was only seeded No. 3 in the sub-sectional and enlightened to learn that Polo has allowed less points than any football team in the state.

And, that’s just the start of a jam-pack Columbus Day weekend of other major

events in sectional golf and cross-country.

Where does a person a start?

How about with an official acknowledgment of Oregon reigning as undefeated conference champs in soccer.

Hopefully a huge crowd of fans will come out and support the team, as they play for a regional title on Friday at 4:15 at Park West.

You could make it a soccer/ football doubleheader, with the gridders kicking off later that evening at LandersLoomis.

Get used to it folks.

With the success of boys soccer and movement afoot to start girls soccer, there is beginning to be at Oregon, an intermingling of traditional old-school football fans and an upstart culture of soccer.

So far, there has been a

reluctance of mainstream Hawk backers to check out high school soccer, but maybe a change is coming.

Even with a 2-5 record, Oregon is a good football team and credit needs to go to each player on the roster.

Anymore, it is a tall task to be out for football when the odds are stacked against you each week.

Oregon was hampered by lack of team speed, a limited passing game, small roster and most importantly, a brutally tough schedule.

Like the last few seasons, there was no margin for error and unfortunately, giving up second-half leads to Dixon and Winnebago cost the Hawks.

According to SVM stat guru Cody Cutter, the 21 points allowed by the Polo

football team is No. 1 in the state, just ahead of the 26 allowed by Chicago Whitney Young. The previous leader, Marshall, lost 31-25, after allowing seven points.

What’s interesting about that stat is that Polo is considered more as an offensive threat. Once the playoffs start, the Marcos will indeed be the most intriguing storyline in all of 1A. Before the volleyball seedings came out, I failed to realize that Rockford Keith was bumped up to 2A because of the IHSA success factor. After winning three straight 1A state titles, Keith has made the sub-sectional even tougher.

Lutheran, whom the Lady Hawks have beaten in conference play is No. 1 and Keith No. 2, followed by

SECTION B

Thursday, October 15, 2015

Playoff needed to decide who would advance Kaitlin Korf had a round of 89 Monday

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com At the Peru St. Bede Class A golf sectional on Oct. 12, Forreston’s Kaitlan Korf was tantalizing close to becoming the first girls golfer in school history to advance downstate.

She finished with an 89, putting her in a playoff with Olivia Pultorak of Dixon, Jaeden Workman of Morrison, Caitlin Schoepfer of Lutheran and Nikki Schmitt of Sherrard.

After seven hours of play on the wind-swept Spring Creek Golf course, the fivesome teed it up with four state spots available.

On the par-4, 305-yard dogleg playoff hole, Pultorak and Workman had pars and both repeated as state qualifiers.

Schmitt and Schoepfer each had bogeys – with Schoepfer draining a curling 5-footer to earn her berth.

Korf was over the green in two, chipped up short, then 3-putted for a six. She needed Schoepfer to miss her bogey putt to remain alive.

“Kaitlin just barely missed her putt for a five,” Forreston coach Matt Hanley said.

“She really hit the ball well throughout the day and stayed out of trouble and away from the big numbers. I know she

is disappointed, but when she looks back at it, she will be proud of her season and her round at the sectional.”

Naeva Groenewold, who joined Korf as a 3-time sectional qualifier, had a 99 and Sam Greenfield added a 111 for the Lady Cardinals.

“Naeva and Kaitlin are seniors, so it will be sad to them go, but they are two great girls who have accomplished a lot,” Hanley said.

Geneseo edged Eastland 366 to 367 for first place, with Byron claiming the third and final trip downstate with a 376. Metamora had a 377, but will be staying home.

After claiming third at the regional, Eastland was the surprise story of the meet, earning its first trip ever downstate.

“I’m super excited,” Eastland coach Jason Hill said. “It’s something we’ve worked at for the last couple years and finally got it.”

Oregon had a 415 for 10th place out of the 12 schools entered. As they have done all year, it was Abi and Ali Scheidecker leading the way for the Lady Hawks. Abi had a 95 (51-44) and Ali, a 2014 state qualifier, a 103 (52-51).

Abby Martin came in with a 104 and Haley Repass a 113. Also competing, but not figuring in the scoring were Breanna Bicksler and Allison Hunt.

Byron takes title at Sectional, Polo finishes 12th

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com After struggling to get out of a competitive regional last week, the Byron boys golf team took advantage of a home course advantage Oct. 12 to win the 1A sectional and also qualify for the IHSA state meet for the fourth year in a row.

Trent Snodgrass made it doubly fun for the Tigers, claiming medalist honors with a 77 on the par-72 Prarieview course.

The home cooking must have made a difference, as Byron bested regional champ Aurora Christian by 24 strokes.

In proof of what may have been the toughest regional in the state and one in which Oregon missed by the narrowest of margins of advancing to the sectional,

“We were a disappointed with our sectional results, but we did make two of our three goals this year,” — Polo Coach Don Reece Byron, Elgin St. Edward and Aurora finished 1-2-4 at the sectional. Chicago Christian edged Aurora 337-339 for the final spot, preventing a clean sweep from the regional.

The Hawks almost sent a competitor downstate, but junior Matt Myers missed out in a playoff for the final two at-large berths. Myers shot a consistent 41-42 to tie four other golfers with an 83.

Noah Hogue of Morrison and Connen Leahy of Elmhurst Immaculate Christian earned the trips downstate. Unlike Hogue, who went right from his round to the playoff, Myers had to wait for quite a while after his round was over.

“I was hoping 83 would get pretty close to the cutoff, and once the groups after me started to come in with higher scores, I knew that it was probably going to be a playoff,” Myers said. “I was just happy that I got one more chance, and I tried not to think about what it meant until it was time to tee off.”

Senior Mitchell Nehrkorn closed out his career at Oregon with an 88 and freshman Adam Merrill added an 89.

Polo competed as a team and finished 12th with a score of 375. Chris Radamacher Above, Polo’s Mack Llanas hits his second shot from the fairway on the first hole and Mack Llanas carded Monday morning during the Byron Sectional. Below, Polo’s Christopher Rademacher identical 44-46s.

“We were a disappointed with our sectional results, but we did make two of our three goals this year,” Polo coach Don Reece said. “Being top three in conference and getting out of regionals as a team made it a successful season.”

Bryan Edler was Forreston’s sole sectional qualifier and had an 85 (4342), close to the cut line for state.

“I wasn’t with Bryan, but an 85 is great in those conditions,” Forreston coach Matt Hanley said. “I heard there were very tough conditions with the wind.”

Coaches see room to improve before Regionals

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com At the end of the night the stats showed that Forreston defeated Polo in two games, but coaches for both teams knew they did not play their best.

Forreston won 25-17, 2522 Tuesday night at Polo.

In the first game, the Lady Cardinals got out to a quick 7-0 lead and held the lead throughout the game and the closest Polo got the game was to within five points.

“It is hard to play out of a whole when you did it yourself,” said Polo coach Patrick Anderson.

“We played better in the second game and were getting our blocks.”

In the second game, Polo kept the score close and held the lead for part of the game.

“I think we need to play to win and stay aggressive the entire match,” said Forreston coach Shannon Williams.

“We got timid tonight.”

Polo battled hard and had a Forreston’s Kate Metzger and Danielle Hagemann go up to block a shot by Polo’s Sammi Bushman Tuesday night.

5-4 lead and Forreston tied it, Photo by Chris Johnson

and the game went back and forth until Polo had a 10-8 lead.

It was during this time when Polo gained the lead that Williams gave her team a couple points to regroup before calling a timeout.

“Knowing when to regroup is important,” she said.

“We used our timeouts well tonight.”

Following the timeout Forreston immediately scored a point.

The game continued to be close until Forreston managed a five-point lead.

Moving forward, the Lady Cardinals have room for improvement before Regionals.

“We need to pick up our defense and be more consistent,” Williams said.

“We have been making to many hitting errors.”

Anderson saw the positives with keeping the second game close against a 2A volleyball program.

“It is nice to see us play good,” he said. “Now we need to work hard and get ready for Regionals.”

Forreston girls had a solid day at Oregon Regional

By Cody Cutter Sauk Valley Media Abi Scheidecker had struggled with her game in the past couple of weeks.

However, the Oregon junior picked the right time to escape her slump.

There was no place like home at the Class A Oregon Regional at Silver Ridge Oct. 7, where Scheidecker started out strong and finished tied for second place, qualifying for Monday’s St. Bede Sectional.

Scheidecker birdied the par-4 No. 1 en route to carding an 85. The Hawks junior made par on six holes and finished with a 5-over-par 41 in the back nine.

Success on the first hole was enough to help overcome the struggles.

“It made me have a lot

more confidence than what I had coming into today,” Scheidecker said.

“My drives have been really terrible. They just kept putting me in bad situations.

But today, I just went out relaxed. Last week I worked a lot on trying to straighten out my driver, and it all paid off.”

Tying with Dixon junior Olivia Pultorak, Scheidecker’s 85 was her best 18-hole score so far this year.

Her sister, Ali, finished tied for sixth, carding a 90 along with Eastland senior Bailey Heckman.

The Hawks finished second as a team with 380 strokes, five more than champion Byron (375). In its third year as a program, the Hawks will advance to the sectional round as a team for the first time.

“We’ve been playing pretty well all year long,” Oregon

coach Jim Spratt said. “I think the expectations for the girls were to play well today on their home course.”

Abby Martin had a 101 for the Hawks, while Haley Repass had a 104, Allison Hunt a 126, and Bre Bicksler a 129. Hunt made her first birdie of the year, on No. 17, and Spratt presented her with a Snickers bar back in the clubhouse as a reward for her feat.

“Abi and Ali played real well,” Spratt said. “and we got some good contributions and scores from Haley and Abby Martin.”

“As a team we did amazing,” Abi Scheidecker said. “I would not be any more proud as how we did.”

Eastland senior Karissa Freidag won her second regional championship, adding on to her medalist

honor won during her sophomore year with an 83.

Kaley Mumma led the Tigers with an 88, with Kathleen Rock (95), Regan Larson and Abigail Richardson (both 96) also breaking 100.

“It’s great for the girls, they all played fantastic today,” Byron coach Carl Setterstrom said. “I’m really proud of all of them, and how they did.

There were a lot of ups and downs out there, but they persevered, stayed with it, and did a nice job.”

Forreston had three individuals advance: Naeva Gronewold (92), Kaitlin Korf (93) and Sam Greenfield (104) – who improved on her average 18-hole score by 12 strokes.

County Record Earthquake drill is set for Oct. 15

www.oglecountynews.com

From B3 Illinois.

That series of earthquakes in 1811-12 lasted for several months, and shaking was felt as far away as the East Coast.

Schools, businesses, government agencies,

families and others can register to participate in the drill at www.shakeout.org/ centralus.

Registered participants will receive additional information about the drill and earthquake preparedness.

Ogle County Newspapers, Thursday, October 15, 2015, Page B5

While the international drill will take place on Oct. 15, individual drills can be conducted anytime within two weeks of that date.

The drill focuses on the “Drop, Cover and Hold On” protective actions

people should take when an earthquake begins: “drop” down to the floor, take “cover” under a sturdy desk, table or other furniture, and “hold on” to the furniture item and be prepared to move with it until the shaking

stops.

Additional information about the earthquake risk in Illinois and steps to take before, during, and after an earthquake is available at www.Ready.Illinois.gov.

Astrograph Holding A Grudge Is Pointless And Stressful Thursday October 15, 2015 LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Love is on the rise. Participation in a philanthropic or charitable event will bring you recognition and respect from an influential individual. Highlight your innovative ideas and express your desire to join forces.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Change is highlighted.

Unanticipated alterations to your home or property will be beneficial in the long run. A former friend or flame will want to reconnect. Consider the pros and cons before agreeing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Travel and communication delays can be expected. Resist the urge to make hasty decisions or unreasonable promises, or you will find yourself in a vulnerable position.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Finish projects, conclude contracts or finalize deals.

Completing your current plans will show everyone that you mean business, and leave you free to take advantage of new opportunities.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Advance preparation will prevent you from becoming

overwhelmed by your responsibilities. Helping others through community assistance programs or fundraising will introduce you to a diverse group of people. Romance is highlighted.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Your reputation will grow if you make personal changes.

Expand your profile and touch up your resume in order to give your confidence a boost. Patience will be needed regarding family matters.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Fun and entertainment will highlight your day. A close friend or relative will entice you to try something adventurous.

Have a great time, but avoid taking unnecessary risks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You must be clear about how much you are willing to do for others. Embarrassment or hurt feelings could result if those around you expect more than you can give.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Holding a grudge is pointless and stressful. You will cause more harm internally if you harbor ill will toward others. Treat the

issue as a painful lesson and move on.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Timely information will accompany a chance for a new beginning. Hesitation will lead to a missed opportunity. Be prepared to act quickly when the occasion calls for it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Your competitive spirit will give you an advantage over your rivals. Others will be impressed by your skills, enabling you to gain support and gather good advice.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) -- You may feel generous, but overindulgence will cause serious problems when your bills arrive. Offer your time or suggestions, not money, when someone comes to you for assistance.
