Volunteers pitch in to build home for tornado victims

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Volunteers are needed to lend their expertise and elbow grease to build a new home near Oregon for a Fairdale couple who lost everything in the April 9 tornado.

A crew of volunteers from Operation Rebuild pitched in Sunday to work on the walls of Rick and Dawn Geist’s new home at 516 S. Gale Rd., west of Oregon.

The Geists are living in a double-wide trailer on the nearly 16 acres they

purchased there. They moved into the trailer on July 2.

Project coordinator Deb Wooldridge, Polo, said more volunteers are needed, especially those with construction expertise to get the house, nestled among mature oak trees, closed in before winter so interior work can begin.

“The Geists lived through a nightmare,” she said.

“We’re trying to build them a dream.”

New veterans memorial gets nod of approval Dedication is November 11

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Ogle County’s newest tribute to military veterans pleased both the officials who ordered it and the sculptor who designed it.

After years of planning and weeks of preparing the site, the Ogle County Fallen Soldiers Memorial was installed Nov. 4 on the north side of the Ogle County Courthouse lawn in Oregon, in plenty of time for its dedication on Veteran’s Day. “It’s everything we hoped for,” said Oregon American Legion Commander John Tuttle as workers from J.P. Vincent, Galena, put the finishing touches on the granite work.

The focal point of the memorial is a bronze statue depicting a young soldier kneeling before the grave of a comrade on a black granite base flanked by two black granite tablets on bearing the names of soldiers who gave their lives in conflicts

from World War II to the present.

“It looks great. I’m really pleased. I’m glad to have been able to be a part of it,” said sculptor Jeff Adams, who created the statue at his studio inBronze Foundry, Mt. Morris.

“It really exceeded my expectations,” said Bruce VanderKolk, chairman of the memorial committee.

VFW Commander Lee Ossman made the approval unanimous.

“I think it’s great. It chokes me up,” he said.

“I’m a Vietnam vet, and this just really hits me.”

Plans called for the memorial to be dedicated Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 10 a.m. with Brigadier General (Retired) Steve Huber, Byron, as the keynote speaker.

Ossman said the statue went into place quickly on Wednesday.

“Everything just fell together this morning,” he said.

Planning for the memorial, which replaces an older one, began five years ago, Ossman said.

Former Fairdale couple lost everything in April 9 tornado From A2 were saved to be used in the new home.

The Geists used the majority of their insurance money to buy the property, but came up short for completing the house.

Wooldridge said their insurance company isn’t coming through as expected because the couple decided to relocate.

That’s where Operation Rebuild, a 501©(3) not-forprofit organization, stepped in to help. The build began on Oct. 22 and will continue until the project is done.

The volunteer organization is hoping to build the Geists not only a house, but also a new barn so they can bring their 34-year-old horse Diamond and several barn cats home.

The animals have been boarded since the tornado.

Rick, 56, an over-the-road truck driver, said Sunday that they found out earlier this week that the furniture they

The roof was ripped off the house they had lived in for 24 years, and it was moved four inches off the foundation, Rick said.

A horse they were boarding and several barn cats perished in the storm.

Once the Geists and their pets emerged from the basement they were told by police to leave the area because of propane leaks.

Dawn said she is grateful for all the help they have received.

“I’m pretty amazed at all the people who are willing to help,” she said.

The club has requested a special use permit to allow a shooting range for handgun caliber weapons on their property, which is zoned AG-1 (agricultural use).

Ogle County Zoning Administrator Mike Reibel said that handgun caliber weapons can include long guns of certain calibers.

Dimond said the range would be close to Townline Road where there is a school bus stop for three young

children and mail delivery.

The range is also close to walking paths on adjacent Byron Forest Preserve land, snowmobile paths, and farming operations, including livestock.

“It makes no sense at all,” Dimond said.

More than 150 people, many of whom live nearby, signed a petition opposing the club’s request.

The petition was presented to the Ogle County Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) at a hearing on the request held Turn to A9

“When we went to our storage unit, all our furniture was covered with mold,” he said. “We had to throw it out.”

“We still have a well and septic to deal with, too,” said Dawn, 54.

Rick, a U.S. Army veteran, said they were closely watching the weather April 9 when the EF-4 tornado destroyed their home, two outbuildings, 65 trees, and their possessions.

“It was predicted for three days that we could get a severe storm,” he said.

When the skies turned threatening, he and Dawn and their three dogs and a cat took refuge for the basement of their two-story home on the northeast side of Fairdale.

Their home, like most others in the tiny village on Ill. 72, was damaged beyond repair.

Plan for surprise award runs into snag

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com A scheme to surprise a city employee with a service award went off at the Nov. 2 Polo City Council meeting — but not quite as planned.

City Clerk Susie Corbitt planned to present Deputy Clerk Sue Waszak with a watch for her 25 years of employment with the city.

Since Corbitt wanted the award to come as a surprise, she enlisted the help Mayor Doug Knapp in a little friendly deception.

She asked Waszak to fill in for her and take the minutes at the council meeting, using the excuse that she couldn’t attend because it was her birthday.

According to plan, Corbitt slipped into the city hall shortly after the meeting started and hid out of sight in the utility room.

The utility room has two doors, one in the entry area and the other in the council’s

meeting room.

Knapp was supposed to open the second door at just the right time for Corbitt to step into the meeting room to make the presentation.

That’s where the plan went awry.

When Corbitt closed the first door behind her to slip into the utility room, air pressure caused the meeting room door to open.

Alderman Troy Boothe, oblivious to the plan, tried to close the door only to have it pop open again — and again.

He finally slammed it shut — but good.

It was stuck and by the time Knapp wrestled it open, Corbitt has made her entrance by the other door.

“It was dark back there!” she said after emerging.

After a hearty laugh, Corbitt made the presentation to a very surprised and slightly emotional Waszak.

“Sue is the most dependable, one of the best employees this city has ever had,” Corbitt said. “We’ve

worked together for 23 years. It’s been a delight to work with her. We’re a very good team.”

“I’m touched,” Waszak said as she unwrapped her watch.

She said she has enjoyed working with Corbitt and looks forward to her job every day.

Her tenure has spanned five mayors — Bud Davis, Butch Hunt, Jeff Van Oosten, Mark Scholl, and Knapp.

Waszak said she never expected the job to be so longterm when she began it on Nov. 1 or 2, 1990.

“I was hired temporarily to work for three months for someone who had just had a baby,” she said with a laugh.

At that time Starr McCambridge was the city clerk and all the water and sewer bills were done by hand.

By her third year, Waszak said the office got computers Polo City Clerk Susie Corbitt, right, presents Deputy Clerk Sue Waszak with a watch to do those bills. in appreciation of her 25 years with the city at Monday night’s city council meeting.

Oregon soldier served as messenger, tank driver during World War II Harley William (Hooker) Barnhart, the father of John Barnhart, Oregon, served in the U.S. Army in Europe during World War II. Born Jan. 20, 1924, Barnhart joined the Army on April 21, 1942 when he was 18 years old. He had never traveled far away from the farm he was raised on prior to that.

Sent to Europe, he delivered messages by motorcycle until that was deemed too dangerous.

He then was assigned to operate a Sherman tank as the driver.

Barnhart was part of the Third Armored Division, nicknamed the Third Herd.

He participated in battles and campaigns in Normandy, northern France, Ardennes, Rhineland, and central Europe.

The awards Barnhart earned included the EAME (European-African-Middle Eastern) Ribbon with five bronze battle stars, Good Conduct Ribbon, American Theater Ribbon, and Machine Gun Expert.

Thank You I am very impressed that so many people feel they knew my mother better than me. What I had printed was out of respect for my mother as she had made a very similar comment to me less than two years earlier when her daughter, my sister, passed away. It pained me to hear her say what she said and to see the hurt in her eyes. It pained me once more when I saw it happening towards my father with her passing. I was not going to sit quietly and let this happen.

I wish to thank Dr. John and Trisha Plescia, John Lloyd, Deloris Baumann, Norma Seebach, Ray and Donna Ward, Patty and Sandy Coons, Lou and Deb Wehmhoefer and Pam Jones for having taken the time to personally visit with my father and/or have taken him out for different events.

maintain its competitive advantage,” said NIU President Doug Baker.

The agreement is aimed specifically at HCC students who have earned an associate of applied science in one of three areas — auto body repair, automotive mechanics, or wind turbine technician.

“We value our partnership with NIU in this effort to continue to provide new educational and career pathways to the residents of northwest Illinois,” said Highland President Tim Hood.

Students who earn an

associate of applied science degree in those areas can complete remaining general education and all BS program prerequisites at HCC or NIU before taking their final 30 hours of technology courses with NIU, either online or at the university’s DeKalb campus.

Upon completion of that work, students will graduate with a bachelor of science in technology, with an emphasis in applied manufacturing technology from NIU’s College of Engineering and Engineering Technology.

“This is a great program for place-bound professionals, who are working or already have their AAS degree,” said Cliff Mirman, chairman of the Department of Technology at NIU’s College of Engineering and Engineering Technology.

“It allows students to take classes online, at their own pace, and to earn a bachelor’s degree, which opens up great opportunities for career advancement.”

The online component features recorded lectures by NIU faculty, the opportunity to interact with faculty and an

array of online materials that enrich the learning experience, Mirman said.

Donations sought to help with VFW Christmas Food Baskets Once again at Christmas time, Oregon VFW Post 8739 will make up and deliver Christmas Food Baskets to families and individuals who are in need in the Oregon area.

Any family or individual who is in need may call the VFW Monday through Friday from 7:30 to 9 a.m. or 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 815-7326851 and have your name placed on the list.

Each individual or family must call for themselves with their complete name,

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The kitchen and bar at the Oregon VFW is under new management with an expanded menu and extended hours.

Daniela Vail, Oregon, former bar and kitchen manager at Messie’s, Oregon, has been hired to run the bar and kitchen at the VFW, 1310 W. Washington.

VFW Commander Lee Ossman said the recent closing of Messie’s made Vail available.

Vail said she owned the business at Messie’s, but her grandfather owns the building.

“I had the opportunity to talk to Daniela and present the VFW to her,” he said.

“We had the opportunity to keep her here in Oregon, and she took it.”

Vail began her new job Nov. 5.

“We had a really good first day, and it’s only going to get better,” Ossman said Friday.

The Oregon Chamber of Commerce will host its monthly “Lunch ‘n Learn” opportunity at Rock River Center on Tuesday, Nov. 17 at noon.

The topic for November is “Work – Life Balance” presented by Larry Timm, Vice-President of Illinois Operations of AAIM

Employers’ Association.

AAIM is a notfor-profit association providing workshops, seminars, roundtables and other informational and educational forums related to labor and human resources.

“Every third Tuesday of the month at noon our Chamber hosts a Lunch ‘n Learn at the Rock River Center” said Debbie Dickson, Chamber executive director. “These lunches are available to any and all, and are a tremendous resource, providing a

address, and phone number for a basket to be delivered.

An adult must be home the morning of Saturday, Dec. 19 to receive the basket.

In addition, even if you received a VFW basket in previous years, you must still call in this year to be placed on the list.

The VFW has no way of knowing if people are still with us, or living at the same address or if their personal conditions are the same as last year.

The VFW will accept

names starting Nov. 9.

The deadline to place a name on the list will be Dec. 5.

Last year the VFW Post provided more than 120 food baskets to area residents.

Donations from the general public and businesses to the Christmas basket program are always accepted, needed, and greatly appreciated to continue this program.

For nore information, or to donate, please contact the VFW at 815-732-6851.

Vail brings with her a staff of nine and all her recipes.

The VFW’s employees will continue in their positions.

Ossman said new equipment has been ordered to update the VFW kitchen to accommodate Vail’s full menu.

Once that’s done, Vail said she will serve the same menu she did at Messie’s. For now, she will serve a “soft” menu.

“The food is going to be exactly the same,” she said. “We’ll have the same specials.”

Meals are now served Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday hours may be added once the kitchen update is completed.

The bar hours will also be extended.

“Everything is going to be pretty much the same as it was,” Ossman said. “We’re going to have great food and longer hours.”

Vail will also manage the banquet facilities, working around the schedules of the organizations who meet there.

Support groups are offering free show 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.

Participants will create their own eye-catching, 12” container filled with winter greens and accessories.

beautiful winter container garden for a front porch or patio.

The cost of this program is $25 per person and includes all supplies needed for the hands-on portion of the program. Register by calling the Ogle County Extension office at 815732-2191 or online at web. extension.illinois.edu/bdo.

Members of the Ogle County Juvenile Justice Council watch as Sheriff Brian VanVickle signs an agreement allowing school officials, probation, and law enforcement to share information. Pictured left to right are: Jamie Craven, superintendent of Rochelle Township High School District; Brenda Mason, representative of Sinnissippi Centers of Oregon; Ken Burn, director of Ogle County Court Services; VanVickle; and Eric Morrow, Ogle County States Attorney.

The council was formed in 2001 to develop a restorative justice approach to juvenile crime and delinquency.

Symposium held at Focus House The Ogle County Juvenile Justice Council sponsored a community symposium at Focus House on Oct. 14.

The topic was Child and Adolescent Brain Development and Trauma.

The program was made possible by a grant awarded through the Juvenile Justice Commission.

Anne Studzinski, Managing Director of the Illinois Childhood Trauma Coalition (ICTC), and two management staff from the Illinois Collaboration on

Youth (ICOY) presented the six-hour workshop.

Information focused on adolescent brain development and how various forms of trauma impact such development.

An audience of nearly 80 community professionals, comprised of law enforcement, community service providers, teachers, school administrators, and community volunteers, took advantage of this opportunity.

By Laws was adopted and a committee consisting of F.A. Smith, Silas Kidder, Wright C. Hall, Aquila Spencer, A.F. Johnson, J.P. Smith, Dr. J. Blount, John S. Rosier and M.L. Seymour was appointed with power to go on and complete the work.

“The monument proper was erected at a cost of $950, but the foundation, fence etc., increased that amount to $1,400.”

The initial concept then was to inscribe the names of

all of local soldiers who had died in that war.

In practice the monument eventually included all local civil war veterans upon their passing, including those who had enlisted in other states, such as Richard Christopher, Byron’s only AfricanAmerican Civil War veteran.

Curiously, one that was missed in this latter category was Lieutenant Luke Parsons, a prominent former Byron citizen who had enlisted in Kansas.

Although veterans of the earlier 1812 war and the later Spanish-American war have also been included it’s fair to claim this is primarily a Civil

History of Byron monument to be topic From A6

Youth defined childhood trauma as, “The experience of an event by a child that is emotionally painful or distressful which often results in lasting mental and physical effects.”

Research supports that such trauma could be the result of events such as abuse, an accident, illness, criminal victimization, or a natural disaster.

Studzinski made reference to the tornadoes that devastated communities in 2014 and warned that

War monument.

It was one of the first in Illinois to be erected and the earliest one still standing in 2016, its sesquicentennial.

It should be no surprise that Byron was among the first communities in the country to build a monument to fallen Union soldiers and sailors.

In the years leading up to the Civil War the village had already been active in supporting the political causes of retaining the Union

and resistance to slavery.

Visit byronchamber. com for updates about the rededication or the forum.

Benefit planned for 5-year-old boy

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com A benefit this month will help a Mt. Morris boy who is suffering from a life-threatening disease.

Five-year-old Conner Pretzsch is fighting Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), a rare cancer, for the second time in his life.

The benefit will be held Saturday, Nov. 21 at 5 p.m. at the Dixon VFW, 1560 Franklin Grove Rd., Dixon, and will include a silent auction, 50-50 raffle, deejay, meal, and bake sale.

Donations will be used to help Conner, a kindergartner at Oregon Elementary School, get treatments and care.

Conner’s mother Brittany Pretzsch said his battle began when he took a minor fall at age 2.

Because he was in a lot of pain, she took him to the doctor, who found a tumor on his spine and sent them to

What is LCH?

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease that usually affects children and involves the rapid increase of Langerhans cells, abnormal cells deriving from bone marrow and capable of migrating.

Its manifestations range from isolated bone lesions to affecting multiple systems in the body.

Chicago for a biopsy the following day.

Doctors in Chicago diagnosed Conner with LCH on Aug. 3, 2012 and prescribed chemotherapy administered through a port.

The chemo helped and Conner was in remission for two years, but now the cancer has returned and was discovered in his brain in September.

The original tumor was on two vertebrae, one of which was destroyed and the other severely damaged, Brittany said.

“Sometimes he’s uncomfortable,” she said. “He’s in a back brace all the way from his hips to his armpits.”

Brittany said her son has had two surgeries already and now has sleep issues and symptoms of diabetes.

“He’s been through so much,” she said.

Conner will start chemotherapy again in December. His treatments mean frequent trips to doctors in Rockford and Chicago.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation sent Conner and his family to Disney World when he was 2 years old, but Brittany said he was too sick to enjoy much of the trip.

She is hoping to make arrangements for him to meet his hero World Wrestling Entertainment star John Cena.

Conner has a 7-year-old sister and a 4-year-old brother.

For more information, follow Conner Pretzsch on GoFundMe.com.

Neighbors concerned over safety at proposed gun range From A2 on Sept. 24.

The ZBA voted 3-2 to recommend that the county board approve the request.

The ZBA found that the request met the six required

standards for special use permits, if it is properly designed, built, and operated.

However, they also added 14 conditions for approval, including having a range supervisor on duty whenever the facility is open.

Early holiday deadlines Early deadlines will be in effect for the Nov. 26 edition of the Tri-County Press and Forreston Journal.

The deadline for news items and photos is 4 p.m.

Thursday, Nov. 19.

The office will be closed for Thanksgiving on Thursday, Nov. 26. Normal hours will resume on Friday, Nov. 27.

Reibel said the 14th condition stipulates the supervisor must be a National Rifle Association (NRA) certified range safety officer.

Sportsman’s club president O.K. Welty said that he hopes that condition can be eliminated in exchange for tighter than originally planned security at the range.

Welty proposed making access to the enclosed shooting area electronically controlled and monitored by motion-activated security cameras.

He said the 14th condition is unfair to the sportsman’s club.

“None of the other ranges in the county is required to do that,” Welty said Monday.

“I’s not fair and it’s not practical. We would have to hire someone to be there all the time.”

The ZBA conditions also stipulate that the range “shall be designed by a qualified, licensed design professional with experience in outdoor shooting range planning and design.”

The special use request

was on the Nov. 10 agenda for the Supervisor of Assessments and Planning & Zoning Committee.

Reibel said the committee can recommend approval or denial of the request to the county board or make modifications.

The county board is expected to consider the request on Nov. 17.

Polo beats Warren 40-0, next up Stark County Marcos play in Wyoming, IL Nov. 14, 2 p.m.

By Patrick Mason Sauk Valley Media pmason@saukvalley.com The Polo football team got the nudge it needed from its defense on Saturday.

The Marcos played like a snowball at the top of a hill, just waiting for a push to send it on a wild ride.

The defense gave them that push, forcing Warren into a turnover on downs to set up a quick strike from Dylan Beers. From there, the Marcos couldn’t be stopped.

Polo’s defense set up its dominant rushing attack in a 40-0 win over Warren in a second-round game of the Class 1A playoffs at Meridian Park.

“It took us a while to really get going,” Polo running back Brooks Grobe said.

“We’ve been able to run the ball all year, and once we started to play our game, our style, we started to pull away from them.”

Polo (11-0) gained 319 of its 340 total yards on the ground, led by Grobe’s game-high 165.

The powerful back carved up Warren’s defense, cutting upfield and breaking halfhearted arm tackles.

The senior wore down the Warriors all game, leading to his 69-yard touchdown run with 4:20 to play in the third quarter which gave Polo a 34-0 lead and all but put the game away.

While Grobe sped through holes, Beers offered a change of pace and scored the first two touchdowns of the game.

The 5-foot-10, 205-pound fullback hit a wide-open hole to his left and raced 35 yards for a score.

Polo’s defense forced a Warren turnover on downs, which gave Polo the ball back on the Warriors 35, setting up Beers’ score.

“I’ll be the first to say I’m not that fast,” Beers said.

“When the line opened up that hole, I told myself I had to score. Those first points were huge. I think they didn’t want to waste possessions against us so that’s why they went for it, and our defense was ready.”

Beers added another touchdown late in the second quarter, helping Polo to a 16-0 halftime lead.

The Warriors felt positive down only two scores at halftime, but all that work went for naught on Warren’s opening drive of the second half.

A false start backed the Warriors up to their 26, but two run plays and an incomplete pass forced them to punt.

The ensuing snap went over the punter’s head and through the back of the end zone for a safety.

“As much as we can all see that 40-0 score,” Warriors lineman Jake Sigafus said, “we all thought we could catch them coming out of halftime. We’ve scored 16 points before, but when that safety happened we all just put our heads down. We knew it was over, and they

rolled from there.”

Polo tacked on another touchdown after the safety, as quarterback Brody Grobe connected with Richie Bartnick on a 21-yard throw and catch.

It was Brody Grobe’s only completion of the game.

He finished 1-for-5 with two interceptions and touchdown, but the Marcos didn’t need a passing attack to put away the Warriors.

Jesse Ditzler capped the scoring with a 2-yard plunge midway through the fourth quarter.

Polo held Warren (74) to 183 total yards, and intercepted quarterback Payton Calow four times.

The Marcos will play Stark County – a 42-16 winner over Forreston – on the road in the quarterfinals on Nov. 14. Game time is 2 p.m.

Polo gets another shot at SC rebels

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com After losing 49-12 to Stark County last year and 25-13 in 2008, Polo has another shot at the Rebels.

This Saturday at 2 p.m., the Marcos will return to Gary Johnson Field in Wyoming with a much different team than the 2014 version.

“We understand Polo has a lot of returning players that are a year older and a year stronger,” SC coach Jade Noard. “All their skill kids are very talented and we are somewhat familiar with them from last year and seeing them in round one.

I think their quarterback is a concern. He’s a very talented player that has the ball in his hands every play and it skilled at running and passing.”

A major concern for Noard is shutting down Polo’s big play capability.

“We have to keep them away from the big plays,” Noard said. “Our defense has been good at doing that, making teams execute over the course of a long drive to score on us most of the time.”

SC hopes to use its physical style of play counteract whatever big-play capability Polo has.

“We have felt our line, on both sides of the ball, has been our strength all year,” Noard said.

That physical line opens up holes for Chase Johnston, a 5-10, 170-pound running back, who has 1,918 yards rushing on 232 carries.

Leading receiver is Logan Knobloch (38-for-990 yards), who torched Forreston for 210 yards on seven grabs.

Directing the offense is John Groter. The 6-2, 185-pound junior had his hand in every touchdown

against Forreston and has only thrown one interception in 111 passing attempts, completing 65 percent of his throws for 1,446 yards.

“They’re big, athletic and have weapons,” Polo coach Andrew Hofer said.

“We need to neutralize what they do best and make them do things they aren’t as comfortable with.”

Anchor on both sides of the line is 6-0, 240-pound McCauley Johnston. One thing in Polo’s favor is that Tremont and Forreston were able to move the ball on SC’s defense.

“I feel good about our offense and their abilities,” Hofer said.

Another test for Polo is playing at one of the toughest 1A venues in the state, with Noard promising SC to have a huge crowd. The Rebels are 22-2 in last 24 games at home, with the only losses to state champs Mercer County and Forreston.

“We’re really excited to be in that kind of environment,” Hofer said. “It’s a chance for redemption after what happened last year. Our players have four playoff games under their belts and shouldn’t be fazed by going against one of the premier programs in 1A.” Noard is no stranger to NUIC football, having played nine playoff games against those teams.

“I think anyone who follows small-school football would be surprised that the NUIC would only have one team remaining in the quarterfinals,” Noard said.

“We are very familiar with the quality of play seen throughout that conference.

I like the fact our kids have been in some closer games (than Polo has) this year and know how to perform in those situations.”

Cardinals fall to Stark County

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Stark County may have graduated an all-state quarterback in Joe Charvat, but they have a more than suitable replacement in John Groter.

In a 42-16 win over Forreston in the second round of the 1A playoffs on Nov. 7, the 6-2, 180-pound junior either set up, scored himself or passed for every Rebel (11-0) touchdown.

It was three pass conversions on third-andlong in the first half by Groter that spurred SC to a 21-0 lead.

He deftly shoveled the ball to Chase Johnston for a 41yard score on third-and-16, baffling the Cardinal defense and giving his team a 7-0 lead.

On the next series, he found favorite receiver Logan Knobloch for a 39-yarder to the 1-yard line, setting up a touchdown run by Johnston.

The prettiest of all was a 69yard bomb to Knobloch on third-and-10 to make it 21-0 early in the second quarter.

“Their quarterback kept hitting his spots,” Forreston (8-3) defensive coordinator Kyle Zick said. “We tried showing different looks man, zone. Nothing seemed to work.”

“Every third down, they had a kid stepping up,” Forreston coach Denny Diduch said.

After fumbling the ball away inside Stark County’s 1-yard line, Forreston got the ball back on a punt and scored on a 9-play drive with a 1-yard run by Matt Akins to close to within 21-8.

On the play before the Cardinal goal line fumble, one line judge signaled a touchdown on an Akins’ run, but was overruled by the other officials.

“I was very concerned at halftime,” SC coach Jade Noard said. “They really took it to us in the second quarter.”

With Akins up the middle and AJ Christensen and Logan Rogers finding the edge, Forreston put up 212 first-half rushing yards and nearly scored again before half, but time ran out 15 yards from the SC goal line.

Hoping to carry that momentum into the second half, Forreston went for it on fourth-and-2 on its opening drive, but was stopped at midfield.

“Offensively, we had two drives that came up a yard short,” Diduch said. “If we get those, we have them on their heels.”

Instead, it was Groter converting a pair of 15-yard Turn to B2

Cards fall to Stark County From B1 passes to set up his 5-yard touchdown run and 28-8 Rebel lead.

“Forreston did a good job of stopping Chase, opening up the passing lanes,” Groter said.

After Trace Tuthill intercepted Cardinal quarterback Hunter Daws, SC tacked on another score for a 35-8 advantage, keyed by a pair of Groter passes.

“He’s done that all year for us,” Noard said. “We really came back and answered the bell in the third quarter.”

Forreston turned SC away on the game’s opening drive, only to fumble it away a few plays later.

“We had too many miscues,” Diduch said.

The turnovers and missed fourth down conversions hurt Forreston most. SC took advantage of a Cardinal nogainer on fourth-and-two on the next possession and used the short field for a 14-0 lead.

“The best way to control the game is keep the ball away from them. We weren’t always able to do that,” Forreston’s Logan Rogers battles Stark County’s Chase Johnston for yards during Diduch said.

Byron upsets Wilmington to advance in 3A Tigers travel to McNamara for next match up

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Heading into Saturday’s second-round 3A playoff game with Byron, Wilmington hadn’t lost a football game since Oregon stunned them 22-21 in 2013.

The Big Northern Conference continued to vex the Wildcats, as Byron stopped a 24-game winning streak and beat the No. 1 seed 42-35.

Throw in a 2011 playoff loss to Winnebago and Wilmington has to wonder what it needs to do to get past the gauntlet that is the Big Northern.

Besides Byron, undefeated Rockford Lutheran and Marengo are also still alive in the playoffs.

The real story, though, was a gutty effort by a Byron team that lost starting quarterback Payton Janssen to a leg injury in the first half and also saw Zach Cogswell go down.

The star of the game was running back Jacob Elsbury, who had 200 yards rushing and completed Byron’s only pass. What a huge pass it was.

Trailing 35-34 with seven minutes left in the game, Elsbury threw an 80-yard halfback option pass to Justin Martinez for the game winner.

Wimington was caught off guard and a wide-open Martinez ran free into the end zone, as the large home crowd at stared in disbelief.

Earlier, Nick Hawkins, who has 1,600 rushing yards for the year, gave Wilmington a 35-34 lead, as a missed Byron extra point loomed large Then, the Tigers fumbled deep in their own territory, but Wilmington was unable to take advantage, turning the ball back over on downs, setting up Elsbury’s heroics.

Byron took an early 7-0 lead on an Elsbury touchdown, set up by a 53yard run by Avery Carlson.

Wilmington scored 21 unanswered points and fans from Byron may have been wondering if this would be repeat of last year’s 46-13 win by the Wildcats in the semifinals, especially with Janssen and Cogswell on the bench.

Converting two fourth downs keyed a 16-play, 69-yard scoring drive for

Byron, as Martinez, filling in for Cogsweel, ran 14 yards to cut the lead to 2114.

Elsbury set up the next Byron score with a 58-yard run for first-and-goal.

With time running out in the second half and Byron out of timeouts, Carlson gave his team a momentum boost with a 1-yard touchdown to cut the lead to 28-21.

In the third quarter, it was the Byron defense and Elsbury taking over the game. Two punts gave the ball back to Byron and Elsbury responded with 12 and 57-yard touchdown runs to give Byron the lead, 3428.

Byron (9-2) plays at Kankakee McNamara (10-1) on Nov. 14, at 1 p.m. McNamara defeated Sterling Newman 34-14 on Nov. 7.

drive to the SC 17-yard line, but a failed fourth down gave it back and Groter quickly found Knobloch with the scoring bomb. Knobloch finished with seven catches for 210 yards.

Forreston’s first score came on a drive that had a fourth-down conversion, a Christensen 10-yard run on second man through. Five plays later, it was Akins scoring.

After the Rebels went up 35-8 in the second half, all Forreston could muster at the time was a pair of four-andouts sandwiched around an interception, as SC continued to ratchet up the defensive pressure.

“Last year, we couldn’t stop their inside game and they gave us problems with DeVries in shot gun,” lineman McCauley Johnston said. “We weren’t strong enough either. Hopefully, we’re better this year than last.”

Christensen had the game’s longest run of the night, with a 44-yard touchdown on the counter to make it 35-16 early in the fourth quarter.

The two sophomores, Akins and Christensen, combined for 252 yards rushing and were among numerous younger players making an impact all season.

“Sure, we have a lot of sophomores and junior coming back, but this game was about the seniors,” Diduch said. “With winning a state title last year and accomplishing more than anyone thought this year, including maybe our coaches, Forreston football is on the rise and we seniors were a part of it,” said Logan Rogers, one of only six seniors.”

Stark County, which had 434 yards of total offense, moves on to host Polo in a quarterfinal at Wyoming in a battle of 11-0 teams on Nov. 14. Game time is 2 p.m.

Sports Column Theme plays out during journey to playoff sites

I never intended for a travelogue to be the subject of this week’s column, but as Saturday progressed, a specific theme seemed to play out.

contested on the field I was running around.

This past year, Scott helped coach Rock Falls, a team that has not been to the playoffs in over 20.

I wondered what he was thinking about on the eve of the second round of the IHSA playoffs – maybe that 1978 playoff game Oregon had against Stockton or perhaps trying to make sense of Rock Falls’ struggles in 2015 and beyond? Probably neither.

6:10 a.m. - LandersLoomis Field in Oregon. A few laps around the track for me, as the crescent moon slowly gave way to the sun with a promise of a bright and chilly day for watching high school football.

Across the road on the Park West walking path, I spotted long-time coach Ken Scott also getting some early morning exercise in.

It was nearly 40 years ago that Scott took Oregon took its first playoff game, one of 29 that the Hawks would play over the years, many

11:23 p.m. – Leaf River, a town that hasn’t had a football team since 1984.

Strangely, the old football field was jam packed with cars, trucks and motor homes, just like a tailgating for the big game.

Was I imagining things in this tiny hamlet of 443 residents?

Upon further inspection, the field was being utilized as parking for dirt bikers to go out and do their thing.

When that last game was played 31 years ago, who would have thought this to

be the case?

12:37 p.m. – Lena, site of the Orion vs Le-Win 1A playoff game and back to reality compared to my curiosity at Leaf River. There were also cars, trucks and motor homes, but all paths led to a genuine football game.

Fans from L-W and Orion gathered on the same side of the field, as no seating is available on the visitors side. With limited bleachers, as is characteristic of most 1A fields, the choice of many were lawn chairs and blankets and everyone coexisted peacefully.

Not only that, but all of us were treated to a scintillating small-school battle that came down to the last play of the game.

Afterwards, I’m sure fans, coaches, players, students and parents from both sides experienced the highs and lows that came with such an emotional ending, but I didn’t have time to observe that.

There was Polo football to be had and 12 miles of the Old Stagecoach Trail road stood in the way.

3:10 p.m. – Meridian Park in Warren. Only two miles from the Wisconsin state line, Warren and its beautifully manicured

4:55 p.m. – Stockton, site of yet another 1A playoff game. The game had ended an hour ago and all that was left was a few random vehicles parked by the field, leftover debris from the concession stand, tattered programs and some sorrow on the part of the losing home team.

5:28 p.m. – Lanark, via Rte. 78, though I should have taken the much quicker Ill. 73 south for the eventual destination of Forreston. It did afford me yet another peak at a town’s pride and joy – the football field, right on Ill. 64.

On this very same day last year, the bowl-shaped field was abuzz with activity, as EPC beat Hall in a 27-20 on

its way to a state title. Now, it sat empty, as it would for all of the 2015 post-season.

The dizzying heights of the previous year are hard to come down from, especially the more emotionally invested ones becomes in those Saturday afternoons at the football field.

5:59 p.m. – Forreston, where the stadium lights could be seen in the distance, a welcoming beacon to a weary traveler of the highways and byways of northwest Illinois.

That’s me and I wasn’t quite prepared for what hit me upon leaving my car and entering the field.

Everything seemed to be at a larger scale. Maybe it was those lights. Maybe it was the enormous crowd that filled the bleachers and ringed the field, by far, the biggest of the day. Or, maybe the thundering roar of the Stark County and Forreston faithful.

The action on the field itself also seemed so much more fast-paced than what took place at Le-Win and Warren. As a glanced at several Polo players taking in the action, I wondered if they sensed this, as well?

8:47 p.m. – Mt. Morris.

The journey is near an end, with only a few miles to go.

Andy Colbert

Do I dare take a slight detour of a few blocks and visit one more football field? With 117 miles on the odometer, what would it hurt?

Recent history will tell you that Terry Jenkins and Vern Welp took Mounder football teams to the playoffs in 1991 and 1992, losing to Manlius both times.

By the mid 90s, both Mt. Morris and Manlius lost their football teams, just as Leaf River did a decade earlier.

Among small towns scattered throughout northwest Illinois, there is many a football field, a vestige of the past for some and for others, a place that gives hope on Saturdays in November.

What was unique about this stop is that the field is in a park instead of adjoining a school and it sits high enough to afford a visitor with a scenic view of the surrounding countryside.

As the sun began its descent later that afternoon, it truly accentuated the joy of being outside for a football game on a crisp fall afternoon.

The only drawback to this idyllic football site is a lack of restrooms.

County Record

Take precautions now to prevent CO poisoning With cold temperatures on their way, the Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal encourages residents to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning by ensuring their homes have working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and

tasteless gas byproduct of burning fossil fuels.

At elevated levels, carbon monoxide causes sickness and, if not detected, death.

Having working CO detectors in a home and regularly testing them can prevent serious consequences.

Fossil fuels like natural gas are used to heat the vast

majority of American homes, and faulty heating equipment accounts for nearly one third of accidental carbon monoxide deaths.

These can include home heating systems, improperly vented gas appliances, kerosene or propane space heaters, charcoal grills and Sterno-type fuels.

“Most carbon monoxide fatalities happen in the winter months when residents understandably dial up their thermostats,” said State Fire Marshal Matt Perez.

“Make sure your home has working carbon monoxide alarms so if something goes wrong with your heating system, you know when to get

outside.”

Perez also reminds residents to never use a gas generator, grill, oven or range to heat the inside of their home or garage.

Under the Carbon Monoxide Alarm Detector Act (Public Act 0940741), enacted in 2007, all homeowners, landlords and building managers must install

carbon monoxide alarms within 15 feet of every room used for sleeping purposes.

The alarms must be in operating condition.

Illinois reported 11,481 carbon monoxide related incidents to the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) in 2013.

Tips offered to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning From B4 Due to the increased use of carbon monoxide detectors in the last decade, the number of reported incidents has gone up while the number of carbon monoxide fatalities has steadily gone down.

Symptoms of CO poisoning are very similar to those of the flu and include headache, fatigue,

shortness of breath, nausea and dizziness.

Other signs of possible CO presence include condensation on walls and windows, house plants dying, house pets becoming sluggish and chronic odors from malfunctioning appliances.

Residents who suspect they may be experiencing carbon monoxide poisoning, should go outside for fresh

air immediately and call 911 from a mobile phone outside or from a neighbor’s home.

The OSFM recommends the following tips to help prevent CO poisoning: • Make sure you have working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors with fresh batteries.

• Put carbon monoxide detectors/alarms on each floor of a home and within 15 feet of each sleeping

area.

• Check CO detectors once a month and be familiar with the sounds that the detector makes.

• CO detectors have a limited operating life.

Check the manufacturer’s instructions for information on replacement.

• Never use a generator, grill, stove, or other fossil fuel-burning device inside a home, garage, or other

enclosed area.

• Never heat a home with an oven.

• Keep interior and exterior air vents clear of blockages or obstructions.

• Make sure appliances are installed by a qualified technician and operated according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local building codes.

• Have your building’s heating system inspected

and serviced annually; change or clean furnace filters regularly.

• Have chimney or appliance vents cleaned and inspected for leakage, debris blockages, or a buildup of creosote.

COME AND SEE WHY WE ARE #1 IN USED CARS! 3RD CAR, FAV PLACE TO SHOP

BY WILL STUDER FROM STERLING, IL | OCTOBER 29, 2015

Everybody hates car shopping, and I am not any different. I just bought my 3rd card from them and I love it. They sell quality used vehicles at a low price, but more importantly they are no pressure sales, and will find you exactly what you want. They go more than the extra mile to win your business. If they don’t have what you want, they will find it. We have bought from Dan Vereide all three times, and he’s the kind of guy you would sit and have morning coffee with. He’s just a regular guy, who loves to find deals for folks.

We have bought three Fords from him and none have had any problems. However, you can ask anyone, if you do have any issue they will make it right. They have one of the best reputations in Northern, IL. If you are in the Sterling area, look at the license plate frames on the cars on the road, you will see Majeski all over.

RATING FROM WILL STUDER • OVERALL: 5 • CUSTOMER SERVICE: 5 OUT OF 5 • BUYING PROCESS: 5 OUT OF 5 • QUALITY OF REPAIR: 5 OUT OF 5 • OVERALL FACILITIES: 5 OUT OF 5
