A Mt. Morris man charged with a hate crime and battery told an Ogle County judge Monday that he is not a trouble-maker. Justin W. Coltrain, 33, is charged with a hate crime, a Class 4 felony, and battery, a Class A misdemeanor, in connection with an underage drinking party in Oregon on Aug. 10 where a fight broke out that resulted in the death of 18-year-old Jonathan Williams, Oregon. “I’m not a trouble-maker,� said Coltrain after his lengthy criminal history was recounted by Assistant State’s Attorney Josh Versluys in a hearing before Judge Robert Hanson. Coltrain is accused of making racial slurs to another party-goer and striking him. Ogle County State’s Attorney Michael Rock said the racial slurs were directed at an African American. Coltrain’s adult criminal history dates back to 2000 and includes aggravated battery and burglary charges. He told Hanson that he did not commit all the crimes he has been accused of, but pleaded guilty just to get out of jail. Hanson left Coltrain’s bond at $100,000, saying he is concerned over Coltrain’s history of “significant batteries.� “You went to the
““I’m not a trouble-maker,� — Justin Coltrain, Mt. Morris Department of Corrections for some of them,� Hanson said. Coltrain replied that he has put that all behind him. “They’re charging the wrong people,� he said. Hanson advised him to get an attorney and to not discuss what happened at the party with anyone other than his attorney. A woman who identified herself as the mother of Coltrain’s ex-girlfriend urged Hanson to lower the bond. “He’s not a flight risk,� said the woman who would not give her name after the hearing. “He lived at my house for two and onehalf years, and we had no problems.� She said she is trying to hire an attorney for Coltrain but is struggling to come up with the $10,000 bail plus a retainer for an attorney of $2,000 to $3,000. Coltrain, who had bruises under both eyes, told Hanson he was attacked by another inmate in the Ogle County Jail after his arrest Nov. 27 and wants to press charges against the person who hit him. Hanson told him to discuss that with his attorney. Coltrain and Matthew Steder, 22, Mt. Morris, who is also charged with
three counts of hate crimes stemming from the same party, are being held in the Whiteside County Jail. Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn declined to comment on the alleged incident at the jail. Rock said Tuesday that he has not yet received a report on the incident. However, Coltrain told Sauk Valley Media that he was attacked Nov. 27 by African American inmates sharing his cell after they heard a TV news report that said he was charged with a hate crime. Steder also appeared before Hanson on Monday. He is also charged with one count of aggravated battery, a Class 3 felony, as well as three counts of battery, in additional to hate crimes. Both Coltrain and Steder, who are scheduled to appear in court Dec. 6, are two of the seven adults charged last week in connection with the party that took place Aug. 10 at the Heck residence at 804 Monroe St., Oregon. Williams died Aug. 11 at OSF St. Anthony Medical Center, Rockford, after being injured in the fight which occurred in the wee hours of Aug. 10. Rock announced the following charges on Nov. 27, what would have

been Williams 19th birthday: s "RIAN 'ALOR Rockford, delivery of alcohol to a minor; s -ARIA #OLEMAN Oregon, reckless conduct; s #ODY -UNROE reckless conduct; s #AMERON #LARK Rochelle, reckless conduct; s +YLIE (ECK /REGON reckless conduct. Two juveniles were also charged. Rock said the reckless conduct charges were filed because the four did not seek medical help for Williams for several hours. Munroe, who Rock said is in Missouri, has not yet been arrested. 'ALOR ALSO APPEARED BEFORE Hanson Monday. He remains in the Ogle County Jail. The others are scheduled to appear in court later this month. Turn to A3
Two contested races are up for grabs March 18 By Vinde Wells Editor Voters will have a choice of candidates for only two Ogle County posts in the March 18 primary election. Three Republican candidates have filed for their party’s nomination for Ogle County Sheriff. Sheriff Michael Harn, Forreston, is being challenged by Brian E. Van Vickle and Joe Drought, both of Rochelle. State’s attorney Michael Rock, Byron, faces opposition from Oregon attorney Eric Morrow. Both are Republicans. County clerk Rebecca Huntley, Chana, and treasurer John Coffman, Polo, also both Republicans, are running unopposed. On the Ogle County Board, all races are uncontested and all but one candidate are Republicans. Current board member Kimberly Kirkolis, Davis Junction, who was elected to her first term in 2012, is not seeking another term in District 1, which includes Dement, Lynnville, Monroe, and Scott Townships. Instead J. Nick Bolin, Holcomb, is seeking the party

incumbent Leroy Meyers, Byron, is on the ballot. Incumbent Rich 'RONEWOLD &ORRESTON IS seeking another term in District 7, which includes Maryland, Mt. Morris, and Forreston Townships. Longtime board member Lyle Hopkins is running in District 8, which includes Brookville, Lincoln, Eagle Point, Buffalo, Pine Creek, 7OOSUNG 'RAND $ETOUR AND Taylor Townships. All terms are four years in length. The configuration of the county board changed in 2012 after board districts were reapportioned following the 2010 census. The county board candidates running in 2014 drew two-year terms. The population shifts indicated by the census meant increasing county board districts from four to eight. Consequently, some board members elected in 2012 drew two-year terms, while others drew four-year terms. Each district is represented by three county board members. Candidates successful in the March primary will be on the ballot for the November general election.

Several party-goers appeared in court Monday From A1 A Winnebago County Grand Jury ruled Williams’ death a homicide last month. The cause of Williams’ death already had been ruled to be “blunt trauma of the head due to a fall as a result of a physical altercation.� Rock said last week that no one will be charged for Williams’ death. He said the fight involved several party-goers and spilled out into the
neighborhood. “Witnesses indicate Mr. Williams chased another individual who struck Mr. Williams in self defense resulting in Mr. Williams striking his head. Mr. Williams was carried back into the residence where he remained for hours before receiving medical attention,� Rock said in a press release issued Nov. 27. “The Ogle County State’s Attorney’s Office and the Oregon Police Department
have worked together and in consultation with the family of Williams in determining the charges supported by the investigation,� read the press release. “The death of a man so young is a tragedy,� Rock said. “Jonathan’s death was preventable and the direct result of the actions of individuals at the party who started the fight, and other individuals who failed to get Mr. Williams medical attention that likely would
FFA harvests test plot The Forreston FFA Alumni recently harvested their test plot planted between Adeline and Leaf River on the Craig Suttman farm. Twenty varieties of corn were grown on the test plot this year. The plot was planted on May 23 at a population of 35,000 on 30-inch rows and harvested on Nov. 23.

ComEd, Exelon help in Coal City ComEd and Exelon employees led a volunteer event Nov. 23 to aid the tornado-damaged communities of Diamond and Coal City. This event was the culmination of a week-long effort by Exelon’s support network for employees with prior military service, Exelon Militaries Actively Connected (E-MAC). E-MAC members, along with their friends, family and fellow employees, gathered donations of clothing, gift cards, money and other items for those affected by tornadoes and severe storms on Nov. 17. “This donation drive and volunteer event is just one of many examples of ComEd’s dedication to the communities where our customers and employees live and work,�said Terence R. Donnelly, ComEd
executive vice president, chief operating officer, and executive sponsor of E-MAC. “Like all of our employee resource groups, E-MAC routinely supports the larger community in ways big and small.� Arturo Chavez, ComEd senior business analyst and President of E-MAC, worked with the Village of Diamond to orchestrate this event, where approximately 60 volunteers worked more than five hours to assist with organizing donations and clean-up efforts. Employees are sending monetary donations to the Grundy County Marine Corps League to distribute to local residents. “When we saw the destruction in Diamond and the surrounding areas, ComEd and Exelon employees felt like they wanted to do something,�
ComEd and Exelon employees led a volunteer event Nov. 23 to aid the tornado-damaged communities of Diamond and Coal City in Central Illinois. Photo supplied
said Chavez. “Hopefully our donations and volunteers will help to provide some comfort and restore a little bit of normalcy to the lives of those affected.� The volunteer event was initially suggested by a ComEd Customer Service Representative, Angella Crose, who resides in neighboring Morris, after she
witnessed the devastation and loss in Diamond. Crose engaged Chavez, knowing that E-MAC, like all the Exelon employee resource groups, routinely lead community service events to help those in need. In addition to the donation drive and the volunteer event, E-MAC is also running a Toys for Tots drive to benefit
the residents of Diamond and Coal City, which will run through Dec. 20. “While I have always been the type of person that likes to fix things, I knew when I saw the devastation in Diamond and Coal City that I couldn’t fix it,� said Crose. “All I could do was try to help. It just takes the life out of your breath to see what
these people have lost, and my hope is that we can bring some joy back to those who are suffering by assisting them in any way we can.� Crose said. More than 25 ComEd crews were deployed in Diamond and Coal City to restore power to approximately 1,400 local residents affected by the storm.

Choose the perfect Christmas tree As families begin choosing a Christmas tree, a University of Illinois horticulture educator provided brief descriptions of popular tree varieties. “Having a little knowledge about Christmas tree varieties will make your quest for the ‘perfect’ tree an easy one,� said Ron Wolford. He gave the following information which he said could be helpful in choosing a tree. Balsam fir has short, flat, long-lasting needles that are rounded at the tip and are .75 to 1.5 inches long. It has a nice, dark green color with silvery cast and fragrant. It is named for the balsam or resin found in blisters on bark. Resin is used to make microscope slides and was sold like chewing gum. It was also used to treat wounds during the Civil War. Canaan fir is known for soft, short, bluish to dark green needles, .5 to 1.25 inches long, needles are silver on underside. The tree has strong branches and open growing pattern, along with good needle retention and fragrance. Douglas fir has a good fragrance and holds blue to dark green with needles that are one to 1.5 inches. It has one of the best aromas among Christmas trees when crushed. Branches are spreading and drooping. After being cut, the Douglas fir will last three to four weeks. Named after David Douglas who studied the tree in the 1800s. This tree has good conical shape and can live for a thousand years. Fraser fir has dark green, flattened needles that are .5 to one inch long. The tree has good needle retention with a nice scent. It has pyramidshaped, strong branches that
turn upward. The Fraser fir was named for botanist John Fraser who explored the southern Appalachians in the late 1700s. Grand fir is a tree with shiny, dark green needles about one to 1.5 inches long. The needles when crushed give off a citrusy smell. It will last three to four weeks after being cut. Noble fir has needles about one inch long, and is bluish green with a silvery appearance. This tree has short, stiff branches, great for heavier ornaments. It keeps well and is used to make wreaths, door swags, and garland. With good care, the tree will last for six weeks after being cut. Concolor fir has bluegreen needles that are .5 to 1.5 inches long. The tree is known for its nice shape and good aroma, a citrus scent. It has good needle retention. In nature, the concolor fir can live to 350 years. Austrian fir is a tree with dark green needles, four to six inches long. The tree retains needles well, with a moderate fragrance. Red pine also has dark green, needles which are four to six inches long. The tree is big and bushy. Scotch pine is the most common Christmas tree. Its stiff branches hold heavy ornaments well. Needles are
stiff and dark green, about one inch long. It holds needles for four weeks, needles will stay on even when dry. The tee has an open appearance and more room for ornaments. Its branches will support heavy ornaments, and will keep its aroma throughout the season. The Scotch pine was introduced in the United States by European settlers. Virginia pine, is a tree with dark green needles which are 1.5 to three inches long in twisted pairs. The strong branches enable it to hold heavy ornaments. It has a strong aromatic pine scent, and is a popular southern Christmas tree. White pine has soft, bluegreen needles, two to five inches long in bundles of five. It retains needles throughout the holiday season. The tree is known for its very full appearance, has little or no fragrance, which causes less allergic reactions as compared to more fragrant trees. This tree doesn’t hold heavy ornaments well. The white pine is the largest pine in U.S. It is the state tree of Michigan and Maine. Its slender branches will support fewer and smaller decorations as compared to Scotch pine. Blue spruce is dark green to powdery blue with very stiff needles that are .75 to 1.5 inches long. The tree has good form but will drop needles in a warm room. It is symmetrical, and best among
species for needle retention. Its branches are stiff and will support many heavy decorations. The blue spruce is the state tree of Utah and Colorado. It can live in nature 600 to 800 years. Norway spruce has .5 to one inch long needles that are shiny and dark green. Needle retention is poor without proper care. It has a strong fragrance with a nice conical shape. The Norway spruce is very popular in Europe. White spruce has needles that are .5 to .75 inches long and green to bluish green, short, stiff needles. The crushed needles have an unpleasant odor. This tree has good needle retention and holds ornaments well. The white spruce is the state tree of South Dakota. Leyland cypress is dark green in color with no aroma. It has a good shape but will not support large ornaments. The tree is very popular in the southeast United States. “Whatever variety of Christmas tree you choose for your home, proper watering and keeping your house as moist and cool as possible will help lengthen enjoyment of your tree and safety,� Wolford said. For more information, visit the “Christmas Trees and More� website at http:// urbanext.illinois.edu/trees/.

Dear Editor, There is a problem that handicapped people experience if they do not drive cars. I have a three-wheeled bicycle and have been advised to park in a regular car spot when I am in the town of Polo. Sometimes people complain that I should not park there. The Chief of Police, Dennis Christen, has told me that I should use a regular parking spot or a handicapped spot. Since I am not as handicapped as some people, I prefer to leave the handicap spots open. The Polo City Council advised me to write a letter to inform people that I have the same rights as if I parked a car or truck.
If people continue to move my bicycle out of a parking spot, I will have to start calling the police department to write up a citation for that person. Sincerely, James Rinehart Polo
Santa’s visit to Polo was a huge success
Dear Editor, The Polo Chamber of Commerce is so grateful for all the wonderful volunteers who assisted with the 2013 Santa’s Breakfast this year at the Polo Area Senior Services Center. There were approximately 150 children (and additional 100 parents and family) who attended, ate pancakes, colored and wrote out their Christmas list for Santa to take back to the North Pole, sat with Santa Clause and Mrs. Clause, and then purchased gifts for their families that the senior center
provided and wrapped for the children. A special thank you is extended to Kenny Yingling, Lisa Sluder and Jeremy Hiller for flipping pancakes, the Polo Area Senior Services Center and members for all their efforts assisting the Chamber with this event. Dan Massey for the donation of the Dish Network Kangaroo’s for the children as they left the breakfast. We would like to express our gratitude to the following businesses, individuals and organizations that either supported this event by advertizing or volunteering; Centennial School, Charley’s Pharmacy, Mayor Doug Knapp and the City of Polo, First State Bank Shannon-Polo-Lake Carroll, Polo Fire Department and Kenny Yingling (Santa and Mrs. Clause arrivals), Lyle Printz, Pat Erickson, Joyce Sanders, Vinde Wells and the Tri-County Press, Burkardt’s LP Gas, Country Floral, Birkey’s Farm Store, WLLT

Polo - Forreston Beat Political Sign Vandalized
Public Voice
Dear Editor, On Sunday afternoon Nov. 24 at approximately 2:30 p.m. I noticed an “Elect Joe Drought for Sheriff “ 4 ft. by 8 ft. sign had been damaged. It had just been installed in a field in the SE corner of Rt. 72 and Mt. Morris Rd. During the 20 hours since it’s installation the prior evening at 6:30 p.m. it had been vandalized by spraying it with paint and breaking it in two, plus cracking it in another place. Signs like this are not cheap and any assistance to the investigation would be greatly appreciated. I don’t care which candidate is the victim of this type of senseless damage it is a result of stupid and immature action that causes this type of activity. If the person/persons involved in this are doing it because they do not like Joe then it is my hope that on March 18th you are watching the election results from behind bars. As with any candidate that is the victim of this type of activity any information at all should warrant a phone call to that candidate. Let’s get this stopped before it gets worse. Al Koper Oregon
Radio, Kathy and Howard Wragg, and the Polo Community High School students who assisted that morning; Paige Peterson, Sammi Bushman, Lauren Rhodes and Hannah Hobbs. City of Polo employees Kendall Kyker, Judy Shipman (aka - P.J.), Tim Merrell, Mike Mumford, Mike Gauthier and Cale Fry for the renovation of Santa’s Hut, which Santa and Mrs. Clause really enjoyed. Material donated towards Santa’s Hut: Do It Rite Construction, Dilbeck’s Canvas Shop, Charley’s Snyder Pharmacy, The Just Us Place, Polo Building Supply and R. P. Lumber. Thank you to Polo Boy Scouts Troop # 337 for singing Christmas Carols at the tree lighting when Santa and Mrs. Clause arrived for the evening. The Polo Chamber of Commerce wishes everyone Happy Holidays and a healthy 2014. Respectfully, Polo Chamber of Commerce Robin Duncan, President

Polo earns championship with 78-63 victory By Patrick Petrosky Sauk Valley Media The Polo Marcos scored the first two buckets against the AFC Raiders Saturday night in the AFC Thanksgiving Tournament. The Marcos didn’t look back, steadily increasing their lead en route to a 78-63 victory in the championship game. Polo outscored the Raiders in the closing moments of all four quarters. AFC answered the runs, but not enough to overcome the deficit completely. “Their sights are set very high,” said AFC coach Russ Zick about Polo, “and they ought to be because they’re really good. We are just working our way there. We’re happy that we are getting better defensively and offensively. We just have to figure out how to rebound better, and minimize secondshot opportunities. Most of it was that Polo beat us in most of the facets of the game tonight.” The Marcos’ rebounding charge was led by junior AJ Dollmeyer, who pulled down almost half of Polo’s rebounds. Dollmeyer finished with 19 of Polo’s 44 rebounds to compliment his 27 points, despite battling foul trouble that cost his most of the second and third quarters. “Dollmeyer did a real fantastic job of working his tail off inside,” Polo coach Matt Messer said. “His teammates were able to find him, and the thing that helped
him was that we got him in early offense, before they were able to get help over onto him. Even when he didn’t have a good look, he was able to power up through a lot of plays and score.” With Dollmeyer on the bench for most of the third quarter, AFC big man Troy Mairs took advantage. The senior knocked down five shots and a pair of free throws to tally 13 of his 24 points in the quarter. However, like most of the night, the Marcos found an answer to Mairs. That answer was Brian Cavanaugh. The athletic winger started the quarter perfect from the field on four attempts, all coming from explosive drives that ended with easy finishes around the rim. “I just try to play as fast as I can.” Cavanaugh said. “Try to push the ball and get my teammates open by driving hard to the lane, and finding them. Usually I am looking for AJ inside. We have a lot of options to go to, but I just found some holes that I drove into, and the shots were going in.” With a 10-point deficit heading into the fourth, the Raiders turned to Bret Gittleson. With Dollmeyer focusing on Maris, Gittleson started making shots. After knocking down two layups, Gittlesone snapped from behind the arc by hitting three straight 3-pointers. Mairs and Gittleson combined for 31 of AFC’s 38 second-half points.

Polo’s answered with Dollmeyer, who closed the game out with a prefect shooting percentage after hitting three from the freethrow line and four buckets down low. In the end, Dollmeyer won the battle of the bigs. “Mairs is a great player.” Dollmeyer said. “Every time we see each other, its always a battle between us. He is a
great player, and we kept going back and fourth.” Both big men finished with double doubles with Mairs scoring 24 points and grabbing 18 boards. Polo won the rebound and turnover battles, 4438 and 18-14 respectively. Tightening up on defense is what sealed the deal, as the Marcos eventually shut down Mairs and Gittleson to quiet
the AFC offense. “Fourth quarter, we just made a concerted effort to make sure we knew where he [Mairs] was at and try to at least get a hand in his face,” Messer said. “In the third quarter, we were losing him, and he was burying shots time after time. We just made a more concerned effort, and we tried to on Gittleson in the fourth quarter, but he just
kept burying shots on us.” Star of the game: AJ Dollmeyer, Polo: 27 points, 19 rebounds Key performers: Troy Mairs, AFC: 24 points, 18 rebounds; Brian Cavanugh, Polo: 16 points, 5 rebounds; Bret Gittleson, AFC: 18 points Up next: Durand at Polo, 7:30 Friday; Orangeville at AFC, 7:30 Friday;
Stillman Valley wins state in a thrilling OT game By Andy Colbert Reporter
considered by many to be the finest of the eight games played last weekend at In an IHSA state Northern Illinois University, championship thriller Stillman Valley defeated St.
Joseph-Ogden 43-41 for the 3A title in football. The two storied programs had no turnovers, minimal penalties, were 10-for-10 on fourth down attempts, had total yardage that was close, and were never separated by more than one touchdown. In the end, it was a 2-point conversion by Zac Hare that proved to be the difference and gave the Cardinals (122) their fifth state title in six state final appearances. “State title games are dramatic,” Hare said. “I can’t adequately describe this game.” For St. Joe-Ogden (11-3), it was complete and utter disappointment, as they remain winless in five trips downstate, including a 1999 loss to Byron. “We’re very depressed— to come that close,” said Dick Duval (229-72), in his 26th and maybe final year as SJO coach. “To have been here five times and come up short, it’s really rough.” Even winning coach Mike Lalor left the field with a self-described “pit in the stomach” after seeing the toll exacted on Duval, a long-time coaching mentor of his. “I’ve never had a win that I felt so much mixed emotion and have never seen a coach with that kind of (shell-shocked) look on his face,” Lalor said. “It is Eddie Torrance is stopped at the goalline in the fourth gut wrenching. Football quarter. Photo by Chris Johnson truly is a game of inches.”

In the first possession of the overtime period, Hare scored on a controversial fourth-down play from two yards out. Televised replays gave indications that a fumble may have occurred, but officials ruled it a touchdown. “The replay that we’ve been getting is that the ball was out (before crossing the goal line),” said a very succinct Duval. As SV attempted to kick the extra point, error-free SJO was hit with its first penalty of the game. With the ball half the distance to the goal line, Lalor opted for a 2-point conversion instead and Hare crashed over for a 43-35 advantage. “The whole night we executed so well. That penalty came at the wrong time,” Duval said. The Spartans found themselves in further trouble after another penalty made it first-and-27 instead of firstand-10 in their overtime possession. Quarterback Dalton Walsh, who had the game of his life, somehow managed to escape the SV rush and found Jake Stewart for a 21-yard gain. “Dalton (24-35 for 259 yards passing) extended plays all night,” Duval said. Two plays later Connor Janes scored from six yards away and Duval was forced to come up with a 2-point play to force another overtime. With Walsh having a hot hand, a passing play was called. Unfortunately for Walsh and his teammates, he never had a chance to get the ball off as nose guard Logan Alberts and end Eddie Torrance, a pair of 175-pounders speedsters, blew through the line for a quick sack. “I didn’t even see them coming,” said Walsh, who was only sacked one other time. “My line had done a great job all night.”

“There wasn’t too many open gaps, but this time one opened up and I went through as fast as I could,” Alberts said. Early in the fourth quarter, Alberts also scored on a 3-yard option pitch on fourth down to pull his team within 28-28. For the game, the Cardinals were an incredible 7-for-7 on fourth down conversions, including their last three touchdowns. “What they do is not complicated, but it’s hard to stop, especially the big fullback (Hare),” Duval said. “They physically wore us down at the end.” In a continuing battle of one-upmanship, SJO wasted little time in taking back the lead, 35-28. Walsh converted 4-of-5 passes on the next drive, the final one a 21-yard crossing pattern to Hunter Hart on fourthand-11 for the score. With 1:14 left in regulation, Hare (39-for174 yards rushing) scored on another fourth down and dependable kicker Keaton
Weber (5-for-5) ensured overtime with the PAT. “Mike Lalor is the reason they’re here every year,” Duval said. “Good programs find ways to win games.” When SJO shut down SV’s running game to start the game out, Lalor went to the pass the loosen up the Spartan defense. McNames found Jacob Hoey on a 25yard pass and later on the same drive, Alberts caught a 19-yarder from McNames on fourth down to set up SV’s first score, an 8-yard run by Micah Castronovo. Those were the only completions SV had the entire game, but were enough to force SJO into backing off the line of scrimmage. “They had jumped into 11 guys up front and we had to do something to get them out of the box,” Lalor said. “I didn’t realize we converted seven fourth downs, but we had to go for it to prevent them from having the ball. The pass completion (McNames to Alberts) was the biggest of them all.”

On Nov. 27, tobacco retailers were inspected in the first of three rounds of compliance checks on all tobacco retailers in the community.

Police officials feel that the education provided to the retailers has had an impact on the sale of tobacco to underage customers and encourages the retailers to continue their efforts.
