While national and state races on the Nov. 8 ballot may be hotly contested, all candidates for Ogle County posts are running unopposed. After voting for President, U.S. Senator, and State Comptroller, voters in the county will just have to decide on various referenda. Residents of the Forreston Fire Protection District have two referenda before them. The fire district board is asking voters to hike the taxes by a maximum of 10 cents, from 30 cents to 40 cents, per $100 of equalized assessed valuation (EAV) in both the fire service and the ambulance service. That means the annual real estate taxes on a $100,000 house would increase by approximately $33 for each levy or a total of $66 if both are approved. This is the first time the fire service has asked for an increase in its 68-year history. When the district was formed on Nov. 7, 1947, the tax rate was set at 30 cents per $100 EAV. The fire district took

Margaret “Maggie” Meyer, 31, and her son Amos Meyer, 3, died as a result of the fire which was reported the morning of Oct. 19. “The cause of the fire and their two deaths are being investigated by the Byron Police Department, Ogle County Sheriff’s Office, Illinois State Police and Illinois State Fire Marshal,” VanVickle said in a statement released Monday evening. “Although the cause of the fire is still unknown, it is suspicious in nature.” Investigators have determined the fire started on the night of Oct. 18, according to the press release. The fire at 2020 N. Silverthorn Drive was reported around 6:40 a.m. on Oct. 19, apparently by Meyer’s ex-husband and the boy’s father, Duane C.

There were pace marks in snow in front of the store as he pondered whether or not to commit the crime. Police simply tracked his path from the store to his home and arrested him. On the surface, the goodlooking 27-year-old is polite, intelligent, and hard working. Why the need to sink into the darkness of drug addiction and risk losing it all? That certainly wasn’t his plan when he began dabbling in pot and alcohol in eighth grade. His descent into addiction

James did not use heroin is high school, but was well on the path to it, stealing his mom’s pain pills, continuing to drink, and experimenting with cocaine. “Still, I played sports, though I failed a drug test as a sophomore, had friends, was on the homecoming court and graduated,” he said.

over the ambulance service in March of 1976 and the present tax rate of 30 cents per $100 EAV was set then. Currently the fire service taxes at 25.3 cents per $100 EAV and the ambulance at 24.7 cents. Fire officials say the increases are necessary to pay salaries of EMTs and for future purchases of both fire and ambulance equipment. Polo School District voters are being asked to change how they elect their school board members. A referendum on the ballot will ask if school board members should be elected at large and without restriction as to where they live. Currently no more than three members of the board can reside in the same congressional township. Back in 2007, the same question was on the ballot and was narrowly defeated 241-204. Superintendent Chris Rademacher is hoping for a different outcome this time around, especially since state laws have changed. “Last time it had to pass in every township, now it’s a two-thirds majority overall,”

arrived, Meyer and a Byron police officer were performing CPR on Amos, who had apparently been in an upstairs bedroom. The child and his father were taken to Rockford Memorial Hospital, where Amos was pronounced dead. Firefighters also could hear smoke alarms going off and encountered heavy smoke when they arrived. Maggie Meyer was found dead on the couch on the first floor. Byron Fire Chief Galen Bennett said at the scene that firefighters encountered very little fire, but a great deal of smoke when they arrived. VanVickle said Tuesday morning that Amos died from smoke inhalation, but the cause of Margaret’s death has not yet been determined, pending test results. The Ogle County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone who may know something about the fire or saw anything suspicious in the Byron area on the night of Oct. 18, to contact the Ogle County Sheriff’s Office at 815-7322136. Callers can also contact Ogle-Lee Crime Stoppers at 888-228-4488. Crime Stoppers will pay up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest.

he said. Rademacher said he believes the change will result in a more democratic process. The three per township rule, he said has resulted increasingly in top the vote getters sometimes not being seated on the board because the quota for their township was already filled. “I think it will be great for the district,� he said. “Let the top vote-getters get elected. Then the people that the majority [of voters] wants will get elected. Now that’s not necessarily the case.�

Officials in Taylor and Lafayette Townships, on the county’s southern border, are asking voters to combine the two townships into one. The county board gave the plan its blessing last July. Township officials say the move will be beneficial financially and more efficient for doing road work. For the merger to happen, a majority of voters in both townships will have to approve the referendum. If approved, the new township will be called Taylor-Lafayette. A small number of Ogle

Heroin is hard to kick From A1 James knew he was in the grip of a situation he couldn’t control. Though he wanted to stop the craziness in his life, the only solutions he had were either use heroin or commit suicide. “I thought about suicide everyday,� he said. Being thrown in jail was not enough for James to stop using. He felt the weight of the world on his shoulders and the only relief he felt came from using drugs. “Heroin was the only answer I had to what life throws at you,� he said. “I felt that I couldn’t live up to other people’s expectations and had relationship issues.� James found help at a treatment center, but was

soon back on drugs. Desperate for sobriety, James then began attending a faith-based 12-step program. “I knew something was working for those people in recovery, but I couldn’t come clean,� James said. “I had problems with how I felt on the inside. Those needed to be fixed and drugs were the only way I knew how to do it.� For much of 2015, he led a double life. He attended 12step meetings and became convinced the spiritual message of recovery was the answer to what ailed him. He genuinely wanted to be sober, but like so many others like him, he couldn’t pull it off. “I lied to them and said I was clean when I was still using and drinking,� he said.

“I couldn’t break people’s hearts.� Eventually, James drifted away from the spiritual fellowship, taking a job out of state. That all came crashing down and more trouble with the law ensued. Since November 2015, James has been alcohol and drug free. He chose to come clean with those closest to him in recovery and follow the path that they have been on. So far, it has been working. “I know what it means to be powerless over drugs,� James said. “I quit before and have always gone back to them. It’s not a matter of quitting. It’s staying quit.� Next week, a father tells of his child’s heroin addiction and death from an overdose.

County officials complete leadership training class Three Ogle County officials recently completed the coursework and are graduates of the 2016 Leadership Academy program for local government officials. County clerk and recorder Laura J. Cook, county board member Don Griffin, and county board chairman, Kim P. Gouker of Ogle County completed the Leadership Academy, a joint venture of United Counties Council of Illinois and the University of Illinois Extension. The academy is a comprehensive

leadership development program designed for county officials, elected and appointed. The central focus of this program of study whose rigor is comparable to courses at the University is on critical thinking, problem-solving, communications, planning, self-assessment, and change. Graduation ceremonies and recognition of the graduating class took place on Oct. 14 at a reception and dinner at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum, Springfield.

Golf outing raises $17,000 Officials from CHS Ethanol, Rochelle, recently presented Ogle County Educational Cooperative (OCEC) Director Mike Noble and Assistant Director Amy Stephenitch with the proceeds from the CHS seventh annual charity golf outing. The event took place on Sept. 13 in DeKalb and raised $17,000 for OCEC. The event included 128

golfers, a record high for the annual charity and included many corporate level sponsors. OCEC representatives participated in the golf event and assisted with raffle drawings, along with the organizers of the event. OCEC is using the funds to purchase technology, sensory tools, specialized equipment, and curriculum

The classroom is in the Oregon Elementary School and serves students from districts throughout the Ogle County Educational Cooperative.

Oregon’s school superintendent was recently honored after decades of educational service and establishing a bevy of beneficial scholastic programs. Tom Mahoney was named the 2015-16 Superintendent of Distinction by the Illinois Association of School Administrators (IASA). In an effort to recognize the efforts and performances of school superintendents, the IASA established the Superintendents of Distinction program, evaluating candidates on their leadership for learning, communication, professionalism, and community involvement. Mahoney was nominated by his peers, who believed he exemplified both the professional and personal characteristics reflected in the honor. Mahoney has been working in the education system for 25 years, 10 of which has been spent in Oregon. He first served three years as assistant superintendent, and the past seven have been as superintendent. He will be finishing his doctorate in May of 2017. Mahoney’s wife, Angela, serves as principal of Eastland Elementary School. Previously, she was a teacher at Rochelle Elementary. Their older daughter, Maisie, is a data analyst with a degree in Biomedical Engineering. Delaney, their younger daughter, is an accounting major at Illinois State University. According to Mahoney, it’s not simply a family interest in educational services; it’s about duty and hard work. “My wife and I raised our

Shooting stars featured at program To learn more about shooting stars, attend the Prairie Preservation Society’s free Fall Program on Sunday, Nov. 20 at 2 p.m. at the Kickapoo Center, 1919 N. Limekiln Rd., Oregon (just north of the Ogle County Fairgrounds). Dr. Paul Sorenson, who will present the program, is a Ph.D. botanist, so knows more about these plants than just the flowers.

“Who can fail to be captivated by the exquisite color and symmetry of shooting star in profuse bloom on Mother’s Day each year in our Illinois prairies?” his overview reads. “Surely this is one of our most loved prairie flowers. “But the species, Dodecatheon meadia, is also one of the more intractable plants to get started in our prairie restorations: the

plants require anywhere from 6 to 22 years to reach flowering from seed. “Studies underway at Northern Illinois University have revealed methods to circumvent this long maturation process. “At the same time additional facts have been revealed that indicate the developmental biology of this native perennial is much more complex than earlier

understood. A recognition of how the species develops allows one to exploit its characteristics to turn this prairie plant into a jewel in the perennial garden.” Light refreshments will be served after the program. Children are welcome if accompanied by an adult. For more information call 815-732-7332 or email sonia.vogl@gmail.com.

Cardinals’ touchdowns keep cheerleaders jumping By Cody Cutter ccutter@saukvalley.com As Hunter Rogers found plenty of open room on his way to a touchdown and a 61-0 Forreston lead during last Friday’s 1A first-round playoff game against Luther North, a quiet sigh had to be going through Justina Peck’s mind. The Forreston cheerleader and the rest of her squad had already done 242 jumping

jacks over the course of the night — in the first half alone — and now it was time to put together 61 more at once. “It crossed all of our minds, but it’s 303 jumping jacks and we probably have a couple more to do,” Peck, a senior, said during halftime. “So it’s kind of like, ‘aww …’, but it’s kind of like, ‘yes!’” After every Forreston football score and before the ensuing kickoff, the

Cardinals cheerleaders do a routine where they do a set of jumping jacks equal to the number of points the Cardinals have scored. The routine has been a staple of Forreston home games throughout the years, but this season’s apex was reached (so far) this season with over 300 done before the first half. In Week 6’s 62-0 win over East Dubuque, 315 jumping jacks were made. But in the first-round playoff game on Friday, there was still 24 minutes of continuous clock left to be played. After Grant Badertscher’s 29-yard touchdown with around 6 minutes left in the third quarter, the cheerleaders finally gave in. Instead, each jumping jack was counted by five, plus two more to add up to 67. The total jumping jack tally? 318. “It’s definitely tiring, but it’s definitely worth it,” Peck said, “because of the reason why we do it. It’s amazing when you really think about it.”

Cardinals put up 67 over Luther North Running clock in second half By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com The numbers put up by Forreston in a 67-0 playoff win over Chicago Luther North were astounding. The Cardinals tallied 707 yards of rushing compared to negative five for their opponent. In the first half alone, they had 581 yards on the ground, taking a 61-0 lead. A running clock was the only thing that kept this Oct. 28 game from getting completely insane from a statistical standpoint. As it was, the 67 points was a new Class 1A playoff scoring record, besting the 64 scored by El Paso in 2002. Forreston also holds the 2A scoring record, ironically set against El Paso in 2007, in a 75-24 win. “We did what we had to do and kept our running backs fresh,” Forreston coach Denny Diduch said. Luther North had no answer for the rotation of Cardinal backfield speed merchants. On Forreston’s first touch, Gavin Fuchs raced 61 yards for a score, one of seven touchdowns over 38 yards or more. “I think they gave up as they saw their hopes dwindle,” said Fuchs, who averaged 48 yards a carry. Matt Akins had three

touchdowns and was one of four backs to top the century mark on the ground. One of those was seldom-used sophomore Hunter Rogers who had a 67-yarder to make it 61-0. Helping in the cause were Cardinal offensive linemen driving Luther North defenders five yards past the line of scrimmage on virtually every play. Between the speed of the running backs and the power of the line, Luther North was hapless to make any kind of stop. “I don’t think they expected this,” Forreston lineman Cody Stewart said. “The more and more we scored, they started to fade.” Lane Henneman had TD runs of 61 and 67 and AJ Christensen added a 50-yarder. Luther North’s only offense came in the form of 93 yards passing by Marcus Wenzel, who was 11-for-27 in the windy conditions. “The wind helped stop their passing,” Diduch said. After playing against No. 1 seed Ottawa Marquette and now Forreston, Wenzel had this assessment. “Both teams are very familiar,” he said. “They both like to run it down your throat. If those two teams played, I would come down to coaching, defense and creative play-calling.” Wildcat coach Chris Griggs, who only has five seniors on the roster, had a similar take. Turn to B2

Forreston to face Stark County By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com It will be a familiar foe invading Forreston (10-0), as the Stark County Rebels (7-3) make a return trip for a second-round 1A playoff game. Last year, SC knocked Forreston out of the playoffs on its way to second place in the state. The tradition-laden program is 7-5 all-time against teams from the NUIC, has 21 straight playoff appearances and three state runner-ups.

Forreston (1-2 against the Rebels) comes in as the favorite as the No. 2 seed against a No. 7. “With the majority of their team back, Forreston is a year older, stronger and faster,” SC coach Jade Noard said. “They are a very good, well-coached team.” Noard has a few key players of his own back, including quarterback John Groter. The 6-2, 185-pound senior led the Rebels to the state-title game, but was injured earlier this season. Cade Tuthill, a 6-1, 185-pound junior stepped in

for Groter and has done such a good job that Groter has been playing receiver since returning from his injury. Tuthill has 973 yards on 59102 passing with only three interceptions. “SC is a dynamic run/ pass team, the most dynamic we’ve seen this year,” Forreston defensive coordinator Kyle Zick said. “We must get off the field on third downs. Last year, we gave up too many big plays on third down.” In it’s 35-14 first-round

Round 2 Forreston High School will host a Class 1A Football game versus Toulon Stark County on Saturday, Nov. 5 at 6 p.m. Gates will open an hour before kickoff. IHSA football admission is $5. No passes will be honored.

Polo’s season comes to an end against Dakota Marcos had a 21-14 lead, lost the game 42-21 By Brian Weidman bweidman@sauk valley.com Once Dakota got the band back together, it was unstoppable. The Indians were without their chief, senior fullback/ linebacker Andrew Wenger, for the first half of Saturday’s Class 1A playoff game against Polo. With Wenger back after halftime, however, Dakota rolled to a 42-21 victory over the Marcos. Polo led 14-6 at the break and 21-14 after an 85-yard kickoff return by Braiden Soltow with just under 4 minutes left in the third quarter. It was all Dakota the rest of the way, as it scored on four consecutive possessions in the last 13 minutes to turn a close game into a rout. Wenger carried the ball 20 times for 124 yards, including TD runs of 4 and 9 yards. He also picked off a Soltow pass to set up his team’s first score of the third quarter, a 46-yard pass from Cade Meier to Brock Duncan. “We’re a second-half team,” said Wenger, who

missed the first half due to unspecified disciplinary reasons. “We run a mile every day before practice, so coach gets us pretty wellconditioned and ready to go for later in the game.” The Marcos (6-4) were in control of the game a good chunk of the way. They drove 99 yards in 11 plays on their first possession, capped by an 18-yard TD run by Tristen Aguilar. A fourth-down TD pass of 12 yards from Soltow to Baylee Wiemken late in the second quarter gave Polo a 14-6 halftime lead. “The first half I think everyone, players and the crowd, could agree it was a battle,” Aguilar said. “Then Wenger came in fresh for the second half, and he was pretty pissed off they were losing. He put it to us, and that was the difference. He’s a good player.” Aguilar had 10 carries for 104 yards at halftime, and finished the game with ​Polo’s Ben Peterson brings down Dakota’s Mason Peters Saturday afternoon.

Dakota defeats Polo From B1 of the way. Dakota (7-3), meanwhile, cranked things up in the second half. The Indians had 127 yards in the first half, but 303 yards after that. They churned out 360 yards on the ground, with Wenger, Matt Holste (11-141) and Mason

Peters (7-82) leading the way. “They’re a good football team, and we knew coming in it was going to be a big challenge,” Polo coach Jeff Bumsted said. “We thought we could hang, and we did hang with them. The score doesn’t show how close it was.”

Cardinals are ready for Stark County From B1 win over Westminster Christian, junior running back Wyatt Schupp had 228 yards and four touchdowns. The 6-0, 180-pounder has 1,187 yards rushing this season on 227 attempts. “The plan for stopping him is to play assignment football. He’s a solid runner and we’ll have to be disciplined to stop him,” Zick said. “This year’s team seems to be a little more powerful in their run game than previous years. They have strong runners at running back, quarterback and slot.” SC’s biggest threat is senior slot back Logan Knobloch ((6-2, 170). Knobloch had 10 rushing touchdowns

and 10 receiving, for over 1,000 yards offense. He is the leading receiver with 42 catches. “We have gotten better over the season in our running game,” Noard said. “Our passing game has been effective at times, but somewhat inconsistent.” The Rebels graduated most of its offensive line and the lone returner Zach Mussleman (5-10, 270) is questionable. Without him, they start four juniors and one senior, averaging 6-1 and 211 pounds. “He was injured in week

five and did not play week six, seven and eight,” Noard said. “He played some in week nine and ten.” On defense, linebackers Gavin Smith (5-11, 180) Cody Minder (5-11, 205) lead the Rebel in tackles. SC gives up an average of 230 yards a game, though the first game of the year against Elmwood-Brimfield may be an anomaly, as the 3A power had 469 yards rushing. “Stark is well coach and will have a solid game plan,” Zick said. “We need to shut down their running game and make them one-

dimensional.” A concern for Noard is stopping the multiple weapons of Forreston. “They seem very balanced, with multiple players that can beat you,” he said. Compared to the paltry crowd by Luther North, Saturday night’s game promises to be an entirely different atmosphere with a rabid Rebel fan base. “Having played there last year should help us and we shouldn’t be overwhelmed by the atmosphere,” Noard said. Game time is 6 p.m. Saturday.

Defense is tough

From B1 “Both are powerful and play smashmouth,” Griggs said. “Whoever has sound defense and can convert the third-down plays will win.” Forreston (10-0) will be at home again next week against 7-3 Stark County, a 35-14 winner over Elgin Westminster. It will be Forreston’s fourth playoff game against the Rebels in the last five years, with SC winning last year 42-16 on its way to second-place in state. “We’re looking to get revenge after last year,” Henneman said. Game time is 6 p.m. on Forreston’s Matt Akins runs for a gain during first half action against Chicago Luther North. Photo by Earleen Hinton Saturday at Forreston.

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com At halftime of a 31-0 deficit to Byron, Eureka coach Jason Bachman could only shake his head in wonderment over the Tigers’ massive offensive line. “They’re big up front (270 pound average) and beating us off the ball,” Bachman said. “I can see why they bring them in on a trailer. They’re hogs.” The interior line play of Gunnar McCoy, Logan Keller, Raymond Corcoran, Reed Fleeger and Billy Trosper opened up huge holes all afternoon for Byron runners in a 44-14 class 1A first-round playoff win on Saturday. And, Bachman wasn’t joking about them being hogs. During the playoffs, the linemen enter the stadium in an actual hog trailer with squealing and grunts played over the sound system, much to surprise of their opponents and the delight of the home crowd. It only took three plays for Byron to start its rout of the Hornets. Peyton Keller, one of several backs used by coach Jeff Boyer, scored on a 38-yard run. “I’m happy with the kids’ performance. We can rotate a lot of backs in,” Boyer said. Byron was also helped by short fields. Brady Scheffler returned punts into Eureka territory to set up the first two scores. On his third return, he had a touchdown called back for a penalty. That didn’t matter, as

Trevor Koritz scored his second touchdown of the game to make it 21-0 on a 6-play drive. “It was a good job by our special teams and nice returns by Scheffler,” Boyer said. Byron needed its finest execution on special teams to make a field goal as the half ended. With no timeouts, the field goal team rushed on to the field and Koritz calmly connected from 32 yards out to make it 31-0. “We work on the hurry up on Thursday in practice,” Boyer said. “The guys really sprinted out there.” Eureak closed to within 31-7 on a 71 pass to Allen Lehman, but Koritz and Justin Martinez added touchdown for Byron. Koritz had three TDs, three extra points and a field goal. Martinez led the Tigers with 99 yards rushing, followed by Keller with 83 and quarterback Brandon Elsbury with 62. Martinez also had a 15-yard sack and another tackle for a loss in the first half from his linebacker position. For the fourth time in a row, Byron (10-0) will play Wilmington (10-0) in the playoffs, with the Tigers prevailing in a 42-35 thriller on the road last year. “We’re looking forward to going back there,” McCoy said. “The atmosphere there is amazing.” The game time is 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 5, at Wilmington. “They know what we do and we know what they do,” Boyer added. “It should be a great game.”

Sports Column Football playoffs in full swing By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com After the first weekend of the football playoffs, it’s appears that Forreston and Lena-Winslow are the top two teams in the 1A northern bracket. That what it looked like a month ago, when LeWin gave Forreston all they could handle in a 13-7 game. Following the game, Coach Ric Arand aptly said Le-Win would not see a better team than Forreston the rest of the year. Ottawa Marquette did little to justify its existence as the No. 1 seed in a squeaker over No. 16 Milledgeville. Don’t be surprised if No. 8 Dakota beats Marquette this Saturday and runs the table to the semifinal. The Dakota-Polo score of 42-21 is deceiving. The Marcos were in this contest until the last part of the fourth quarter. It was good season for Polo and another one should be in the offing for 2017. There were a solid core of talented sophomores and juniors. For a top-notch 1A program, though, the key is to size and depth in the line. The Marcos will need to replace a lot of seniors up front.

Forreston vs. Stark County People talk about the speed Forreston has, but their line is as good as anyone in 1A. Based upon superior line play alone, the Cardinals will have the edge against Stark County. One handicap Forreston has is lack of competition that last two weeks, with both Pecatonica and Luther North being more like a jayvee opposition. The danger is being lulled into a lower level of play. Sure, Forreston has plenty of competition among itself in practice, but that environment is never the same as game conditions. Initially, it might take a few plays against Stark County to get reacclimated to hard-hitting and increased speed. If Forreston avoids costly penalties and fumbles, they should be okay against the Rebels. Byron Tigers domination by the numbers I wasn’t sure what I was more impressed with, Byron’s dominating running game against Eureka or the fact they had 38 juniors and seniors on the roster. With many area teams facing declining numbers, Byron has offset that trend. As do Forreston and Le-Win, both with 26 upperclassmen playing football. Considering their

Andy Colbert

enrollments compared to Byron, they have an even higher ratio of kids out. Declining numbers and lack of competitiveness are driving Pec and Durand to co-op in football next season. That creates a schedule headache for the conference, but that is the world of small-school football all over Illinois. With Amboy fully established in the NUIC, one wonders if Fulton and Morrison will follow suit? Oregon’s season Let’s put a cap on Oregon’s football season. It’s a broken record, but the coaching staff gets as much out of the talent they can. I have yet to attend a Hawk game where the kids aren’t prepared to play. With a 2-7 record, two considerations need to be made. The BNC is a different league than 10 years ago when Oregon and Stillman Valley were

dominating it. Dixon wasn’t in it and Rockford Lutheran lacked resources. Now, both have a stranglehold on the Hawks. Byron has always been solid, but lately has risen above Oregon. Those were the only three games this season Oregon didn’t have a chance in. Rock Falls is no longer a patsy. They proved to be legitimately better than Oregon and the Hawks wore down in the second half because of lack of depth. One game that got away was North Boone. Oregon is better team than NB and from a psychological perspective, the playoffs may have been lost right then and there. With such a narrow margin of error, that was a must win. The best Oregon looked was towards the end of the first half against Winnebago. Led by quarterback Caid Chenoweth, they made some big plays to take a halftime lead against a more talented opponent. Bottom line on the Hawks is they did about as well as they could, but the BNC is a much more difficult road to navigate. That combined with lack of comparative athleticism and depth makes 2-7 a reality. As an outside observer, I would consider the 2016 season a success with all the effort put forth and team unity.

Electronics recycling event will be in Oregon Nov. 18 The Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department (OCSWMD) will hold its monthly collection event for e-scrap on Friday, Nov. 18, due to county offices being closed the last Friday of the month, the usual collection date. The location takes place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Ogle County Annex Building, 909 W. Pines Rd., Oregon. In Ogle County, the collection and recycling of e-scrap is maintained through a partnership between the OCSWMD and Dynamic Recycling, based in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Dynamic Recycling holds several certifications to safely, securely, and properly manage all metal, plastic, glass, and other items which result from the processing of e-scrap. These resources are then returned as raw materials to the economic mainstream to be used in new products. Items accepted include all televisions, computer monitors, computer hardware and cables, printers, FAX machines, copiers, VCR’s, DVD players, satellite or cable boxes, stereo equipment,

radios, holiday light strands, cell phones, home phones, tablets, laptops, CFL bulbs, and printer cartridges. All items are accepted free of charge, except microwave ovens, which are $5 per unit. This event is for Ogle County residents and accepts only residentially generated e-scrap. Since 2012 Illinois has banned electronic devices (e-waste or e-scrap) from being disposed of in landfills. Electronic devices, such as computer hardware, monitors, televisions, cell phones, tablets, VCR’s or DVD’s, and other related equipment are one of the fastest growing waste streams in the United States, especially with how quickly these items become obsolete. Many materials within this “e-scrap” can be recycled and returned to the economic mainstream, making it desirable to keep them out of landfills. Materials such as aluminum, copper, steel, plastic, and even precious metals are contained in e-scrap. In addition, certain materials contained in e-scrap are hazardous to

the environment, such as mercury, lead, phosphorus, and many others, so reclaiming those materials can reduce the risks. The collection and recycling of e-scrap has been a challenge for local governments across our state and country. The high volume of this material, coupled with excessive amounts of older tube (CRT) televisions and monitors, with unwanted leaded glass, and lower commodity prices for metal scrap, have made this one of the top challenges for collection agencies and recyclers. Many locations have no option for e-scrap, or the cost of collecting and recycling keeps increasing, forcing agencies to re-think collection programs. This “perfect storm” has led to abandoned stockpiles of material, illegal dumping, and frustrated residents who wish to recycle but are left with very few options. For more information about Ogle County’s program or information about business e-scrap, call the OCSWMD at 815732-4020 or visit www. oglecounty.org.
