Practice turns real Pump failure left drill without water to fight fire

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Strong winds and an equipment malfunction turned a Leaf River Fire Department practice drill Oct. 21 into a real fire.

Leaf River Fire Chief Steve Shelton said the pump failed to work on the fire truck that was supposed to supply the water for a practice burn of a corncrib at 1940 W. Lightsville Rd., leaving firefighters high and dry.

The corncrib had already been set on fire, and Flames shoot high from a corncrib set on fire for a Leaf River Fire Department practice firefighters were in place drill that turned into an actual emergency Oct. 21 after an equipment malfunction left on an aerial ladder, he said, firefighters without water to fight the fire.

Banquet honors personal achievement, community service

By Zach Arbogast zarbogast@oglecounty news.com The Village of Progress took a night out on Oct. 18 to celebrate community service and generosity,

personal accomplishment, and recognize a few special individuals at their yearly event.

VOP consumers, volunteers, board members, families, and appreciative citizens gathered inside St. Mary’s Learning Center for the 48th Village of Progress annual banquet.

Each year at the banquet, VOP gives out eight individual awards, each highlighting different yet important criteria, including personal improvement, persistence in overcoming obstacles, selfless volunteer service, consistent employment and quality work, a love for athletic programs, being exceedingly friendly and encouraging to others, and both individuals and businesses who have served the village.

The award structure allows a variety of different individuals to be recognized for different strengths, like Stacy Mitchell, of Chana, winner of the John Herrmann Personal Achievement

Award. She was recognized for her enthusiastic spirit and constant efforts to overcome challenges.

“Despite Stacy’s daily challenges, she persistently makes the effort to succeed and try new opportunities available to her,” said Tom Wadsworth, emcee for the banquet. “These efforts are an inspiration to all of us.”

Stacy’s face was pure joy as she received her award, but these awards mean just as much - if not more - for friends and family members. “[The Village of Progress] emboldens virtue in her, and it’s a special part of her life every day,” said Brett Carlson, Mitchell’s stepfather. “It’s special to her parents as well.”

For others, like Rob Zimmerman, of Oregon, recognition comes not from being a consumer who’s grown up within VOP, but as someone whose services helped it to flourish.

Mongan pleads not guilty

Go Cardinals Forreston football fans have yet another chance to cheer the Cardinals on in the state playoffs.

Forreston (8-1) hosts Catlin Salt Fork (5-4) on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in the first round of the Class 1A playoffs.

Forreston won the 1A title last year in Champaign with a perfect 14-0 record.

The Cardinals’ only loss this year was to Lena-Winslow on Sept.

1, 28-14. That loss cost Forreston its #1 state ranking for 1A schools.

Le-Win has been ranked #1 since that game and the Cardinals were ranked #3 in the last week of the regular season.

Stacy Mitchell, of Chana, was elated to be presented the John Herrmann Personal Achievement Award by emcee Tom Wadsworth. Mitchell was recognized for her constant improvement in the workplace and determination to overcome challenges.

An Oregon man pleaded not guilty in Ogle County Court Wednesday to seven felonies in connection with a fatal boating crash more than a year ago.

Judge John Redington found probable cause to charge Marc Mongan, 47, with one count of aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, a Class 2 felony; three counts of reckless homicide, all class 3 felonies; and three counts of reckless conduct, all Class 4 felonies.

The charges stem from the death of Megan Wells, 31, Rockford, who died on June 24, 2016 when a johnboat Mongan was operating

struck her when it went over the back of the pontoon boat she was riding in, throwing her overboard.

The collision occurred around 8:40 p.m. on the Rock River three miles north of Oregon.

Through his attorney David Tess, of Rochelle, Mongan waived his right to a preliminary hearing before he entered his plea and made a demand for a jury trial.

Redington set a status hearing for discovery for Wednesday, Nov. 8.

on felony charges of operating a watercraft under the influence of alcohol and aggravated reckless operation of a watercraft.

Subsequently Ogle County State’s Attorney Eric Morrow filed two misdemeanor charges — operating a watercraft while under the influence of alcohol and reckless operation of a watercraft.

Awards presented at banquet From A1 Recognition Award for his hard work and expertise in restaurant design, which made him the perfect candidate for building the Village Bakery, Oregon.

Zimmerman, humbled, didn’t wish to say much about winning the award, but did offer one statement to sum up his feelings: “It was only the right thing to do, to help them.”

Along with recognition

awards, VOP gives out scholarships every year to Ogle County high school seniors or full-time college students who either are majoring in areas that serve people with disabilities, or have disabilities themselves.

“I’m so glad we can put on the event each year,”

said Brion Brooks, Village of Progress Executive Director. “It really means a lot to those enjoying it, but it also means a lot to us to be able to celebrate everyone involved.”

The banquet provides a beef dinner, cooked and served by the men and women of St. Mary’s Parish, for anywhere between 200 and 250 guests on average, and also brings out some community praise with awards for select stand-outs.

Ogle County Sheriff’s Department has eye in the sky

By Zach Arbogast zarbogast@ogle county news.com Sheriff deputies and fire personnel will soon have access to an unmanned surveillance aircraft, greatly improving their search and rescue efforts in Ogle County.

Four members of the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department, as well as two members each of the Mt. Morris and Rochelle Fire Departments, received training between Oct. 23 and 24 on operating a DJI Matrice 210 drone.

According to Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle, the drone will dramatically increase search and rescue operations involving missing children, the elderly, or even the occasional criminal, due to the drone utilizing both a standard camera and a FLIR thermal imaging camera.

With the thermal cam, the drone can fly 400 feet upwards and show heat sources around the landscape — particularly useful for search for missing

persons in a given area. “With this drone, a situation like what happened in Boone a few weeks ago could be easily prevented,� said VanVickle. “Nobody should spend a cold night in a corn field.�

VanVickle was referring to a situation where Babe Briggs, an elderly Boone resident, was reported missing Oct. 10, and was found alive in an unpicked corn field around 11 a.m. the following morning in critical condition. “A drone with a thermal cam could have spotted her in no time,� he said.

VanVickle said helicopters have been utilized for searches, but the cost and availability of a helicopter doesn’t compare to the convenience of the drone. “It’s not only less costly to get up and operate, it’s even less costly if a disaster strikes,� said VanVickle. “If by weather, malfunction, anything, and it goes down, it costs a lot less to replace a drone than a helicopter.�

In case of a house fire, VanVickle said the drone

can quickly gain altitude and search in windows for any persons still in the house. It can also be used to survey damage after a disaster, like tornadoes, and send footage live to Springfield for evaluation and quicker response for disaster relief. “Furthermore, no matter what situation we’re using it for, or where we’re at, a video downlink goes directly to several command posts,� he said.

He said the sheriff’s office has been looking into getting a drone for more than a year, but had concerns with the limited technology available - specifically, that being limited to only a standard cam or a thermal cam did not serve their goals efficiently. “We waited for the right technology to be available, and now that it can fly and switch between both cams, we decided it was time to move forward,� said VanVickle.

The entire package cost around $20,000, but after a pair of radiological grants, the remaining balance was

$6,000, paid from the drug fund. That cost includes training and certification.

As for the force,

VanVickle says they’re excited about it, but will be even more so when the training is completed.

He said they’ve never had access to anything like this, and the capabilities will make life easier.

to Forreston and the surrounding area with the food pantry and thrift store. Â An average of 85 families per month are provided with food.Â

The Mt. Morris Disciples United Methodist Church women will host their annual Fall Fest dinner on Friday, Oct. 27 from 4:30 to 7 p.m. in the church fellowship hall. The meal will include turkey casserole family-style with all

• Visibility: Visibility is key when donning a Halloween costume. Children should be dressed in highly visible costumes so drivers can easily see them. Parents and chaperones also should be dressed in bright colors. Reflective tape and flashlights also make pedestrians more visible to oncoming cars.

For passport requirements, fees, and forms, go to Travel.State.

• Routes: Children and adults should plan their trick-ortreating routes ahead of time. This way they kids can be found quickly if they are separated from their groups, and parents can choose safe neighborhoods. Choose neighborhoods and paths that have the least amount of automobile traffic.

• Walk, don’t run. Trick-or-treaters should stick to sidewalks and only cross the street at intersection crosswalks.

Make sure kids know to avoid darting out between cars or cutting across lawns and driveways. When darkness sets in, fast-moving children can be difficult to see.

• Visit only lit houses. Residents who don’t want to answer the door will typically leave their homes’ exterior lights off.

Only visit homes that are decorated, bright and welcoming to trick-or-treaters.

• Go in groups. Children should go out in groups and always be accompanied by an adult chaperone.

• Costume safety: Everyone should wear well-fitted costumes that do not drag on the floor or impede mobility. Choose face paint over masks so that vision is not obscured.

• Beware of fire hazards. Keep clear of jack-o-lanterns that are lit by real flames. Homeowners can opt for LED lights or other, safer methods of illumination rather than candles and open flames.

Halloween is an exciting day for youngsters, and following a few safety can make the day both fun and safe.

4-H shooting sports program has eye on bigger target Some people look at the 4-H Shooting Sports program and only see the firearms.

Illinois 4-H sees a young person who has potential to grow in confidence, problem solving, teamwork, leadership and decisionmaking, said University of Illinois Extension Shooting Sports Educator Dan Dawson.

“Shooting sports clubs are just the tools we use to make a positive difference in the lives of youth who are passionate about the challenge of shooting sports,” Dawson said.

Christine Gajda and 4-H shooting sports volunteer leaders like her understand that, Dawson said.

One third of the 30 participants in the small bore division of the 2017 Illinois 4-H State Rife Shoot came from Winnebago County. Gajda credits a deep volunteer leader pool with the county’s success.

The county has nearly 20 volunteers, all screened and

trained through the state’s strict 4-H volunteer protocol.

Though shooting sports in name, the club members are diverse in their projects and activities, Gajda said.

“We try to present the whole picture of 4-H to our members,” she said.

Club members perform many community service activities, take on leadership roles in the state 4-H ambassador and teen leadership programs, and exhibit a variety of projects outside their shooting sports projects.

More than 45 4-H members tested their skills in the state 4-H rifle contest held Sept. 30 at the Central Illinois Precision Shooters near Bloomington.

An Iroquois County youth, Josette Peters, claimed first place in the small bore division, followed closely in second by Jaden Thompson of McLean County.

McLean County 14-yearold Shandre Willoughby earned first place in the air rifle division.

The Illinois 4-H State 4-H Rifle Shoot was held Sept. 30 at the Central Illinois Precision Shooters near Bloomington.

National prescription drug take back day is this Saturday The Drug Enforcement Agency’s national prescription drug awareness and take back day is Saturday, Oct. 28.

With this day approaching, the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department reminds residents of Ogle County about how and why to properly dispose of prescription drugs around the house.

The need to properly dispose of unwanted and expired prescription drugs is two-fold.

If there are prescription drugs around the house that are no longer needed, they can pose a danger to the occupants of the home.

Prescription drugs are widely abused in the United States, and can easily lead to an overdose.

Abusing prescription drugs can also lead to an abuser seeking out additional drugs, prescription or otherwise, to fuel an addiction.

In addition, old prescription drugs could fall into the hands of curious children, and can harm pets if ingested.

Sometimes, people may dispose of old prescription drugs by flushing them down the toilet.

This can be a danger to the water supply and aquatic life.

Municipal sewage treatment facilities are not able to remove all of the dissolved chemicals in complex prescription drugs, and these chemicals may be released in the affluent after the treatment process into streams, rivers, and lakes.

In Ogle County, all police departments offer a secure

drop-box for unwanted and expired prescription drugs.

Police departments in Rochelle, Byron, Forreston, Mt. Morris, Polo, and Oregon offer these drop-boxes.

The Ogle County Sheriff’s Department also has a 24 hour drop-box outside of their headquarters in Oregon.

While Oct. 28 is the DEA prescription drug awareness day, residents can clean out

their medicine cabinets any time in Ogle County.

Utilize the police department drop-boxes any time to keep prescription drugs out of the wrong hands, protect your family and pets, and protect the water supply and aquatic life.

For more information, contact the local police department or the OCSWMD at 815-732-4020.

on the adjacent streets.”

Suggestions: 1-Consider a plan for a smaller 100-125 bed jail - Ogle County already processes an average of 134 detainees daily with 109 beds for those that might be incarcerated for a period of time.

2-A smaller facility would cost substantially less to build… - The lowest cost time to build capacity in any structure is in original construction.

To build in the same size range we have already outgrown is not feasible.

That would require “adding on” at a point in the future when construction would probably be taxpayer dollars rather than landfill dollars.

3-The current internal transfer station at the judicial center could still be… - The one-vehicle sally port of the judicial center is currently a bottleneck and was just a bridge to the next step in development.

4-Consider rebuilding the jail in its current location Quite apart from the esthetic considerations of the Courthouse Square, the cost of this suggestion would be astronomical.

Guesstimate with

demolition and two years out-of-county per diem [housing Ogle County prisoners somewhere else], $40-45M for 125 beds.

5- In today’s violent world it is vital that we do all we can to protect law abiding citizens - and let’s add deputies to that list.

Secure internal hallways from jail to courtroom holding cell to courtroom and back to jail are the only safe, sane way to carry out this very important function.

Public Voice Chana School open house Dear Editor, Chana School Museum once again scheduled its Autumn on Parade open house and food booth to help support the Focus House Car Show and the Classic Tractor Show.

It was a wet Saturday on Oct. 7, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of the volunteers at the Chana School Museum.

The museum’s food booth was available for early morning coffee and donuts for the folks registering their cars or tractors for the shows that day.

The Chana School Museum Board would like to thank the volunteers who helped to set up the large tent on Friday, who organized the tent for the food booth early on Saturday, who worked one of the two-hour shifts during the shows that day, and those who helped to take down and clean up after the food booth.

Much of the food for the food booth was donated to support the Chana School Museum which is a notfor-profit organization that depends on volunteers and donations not the tax dollar.

A thank you goes out to Ken and Barb Giese for the generous donation of all the buns used at the booth.

Another thank you goes out to Diane Lillie and Brian Grover for donating the quarter pounder hot dogs for one of the lunch options.

Also a thank you goes to Mindy Thomas, who is a registered food handler at the Oregon Community High School and helps to make sure that the Chana School food booth is setup properly and ready to serve the public safely.

Thank you to all the ladies who volunteered to bake cookies. Lunches at the food booth were topped off with a cookie for dessert.

Docents who greeted visitors and could answer any questions in the morning were Brian Grover, Lindy Eckhard, and Kathy Rager, all from Chana.

Then Mark Herman, Sherrie Piros, and Earlyne Warmolts were available in the afternoon.

The open house was especially warm with special music by Sarah Bliss and her piano student Jane Elliott, of Freeport.

All money taken in went to support the work at the museum.

Donna Gruber was at the schoolhouse introducing a new fundraiser for the old school.

Bergner booklets are now available for $5. This money goes to the Chana School Museum, but the buyer of the booklet gets $10 off any purchase at Bergners during its Community Days sale running from Nov. 8-11 with the first coupon inside the booklet.

In addition to making $5 from your donation of $5 for the booklet, there are $500 worth of discount coupons within the booklet.

To get a booklet today you can go to Merlins Greenhouse, the Flower Patch, Curves, and Joanne’s Total Image all of which are in Oregon.

Booklets may also be bought online at http://bit. ly/2hOkcaj and will be sent directly to your home. You can help the historical Chana School with your purchase.

Colson responds to letter writers Dear Editor, Re: New Ogle Jail. Since, in artillery terms, I have “incoming” from three sides I’ll try to answer, backtracking in orderly, accurate, segments.

In terms of the fondness for the Pines Road flood plain location, the real issue to minimize transport, especially in trial situations, is life-safety for deputies.

Please refer to the final paragraph (#5) of this message. This is the most important paragraph of this months-long discussion.

For clarification my earlier message, quote: “While over 99 percent of those citizens are content to let their elected officials work through the arduous process of delivering the best jail possible there is a small, but vocal and

influential, contingent that imagines all manner of negative outcomes from the proposed jail.”

Most of the 99 percent don’t have a strong position one way or another, but the statement was not that I claimed 99 percent in favor as some of the “incoming” states.

Another component of the “incoming” was that I criticized the …small, but vocal and infinitesimal contingent…Infinitesimal could have been considered denigrating, but if you check the above quote the word was influential, a favorable description in anyone’s book.

The downside to that is that the influence was used for two individuals to control the outcome of an Oregon City Council vote, and in the process delay the jail project by at least seven months.

Using standard architectural planning charts, inflation for a project of this size would be about $67,000 per month.

Probable cost to the project (and Ogle County citizens) of that “influence” - $469,000.

Another facet of the “incoming”: was noise, disruption, 24-hour lights.

The jail will be an addition to the judicial center with exactly the same degree of “noise, disruption, 24-hour lights.”

Stop by the judicial center tomorrow night and form your own view.

A recent Guest Editorial in area publications – by a highly intelligent community leader and major employer – brought up points developed from a viewpoint that didn’t have the benefit of access to the architects, engineers, and law enforcement professionals that have worked in close cooperation for several years on the Ogle County Jail concept development.

Questions raised: 1-Outside Detainees (federal and others). The writer references having a “secure” source of revenue.

That doesn’t exist in the real world. The writer’s manufactured machinery and the county’s revenueproducing outside detainees

are only successful by continued quality products (machinery) and services (detainee housing) bringing return business.

Fortunately, the existing concept development produces a new jail that can (with efficient sight lines for supervision) handle up to 200 inmates with no increase in deputies (it will require one more janitorial person) over the current two-floor 109 bed jail).

2-Social Services. Many, if not most, of the federal detainees are held for trial for charges that originated with “border crossing.”

Rest assured that their fellow “border crossers” will not come within many miles of Ogle County at any time.

Also, this is a jail not a prison. Detainees are held until trial, not to serve a sentence unless it is under one year.

Count on the effect on social services to be zero.

3-Property Values.

Property values are a valid concern, but not necessarily a reality. The current policy is designed to gives the adjoining homeowners a “comfort zone.”

As circumstances evolve in the future, Ogle County will likely be the purchaser of those properties, at fair market value (when the property owner chooses to sell).

4-Legal Issues.

The potential legal cost of challenging the situation that has evolved from the forceful use of an obscure “supermajority” law is infinitesimal compared to the $1 to $2 million increase in construction cost (landfill dollars) and the $300,000 to $900,000 increase in annual operating cost (taxpayer dollars) that can be avoided by closing Sixth Street.

The cost of the “Chicago” (actually Lemont) Law Firm and the effective legal path they offer will, for a few thousand dollars, counter the $2M construction, $900K annual operating, cost the supermajority would force on the project.

Significantly, a traffic engineering study by Willett Hoffman Associates found that closing Sixth Street, “would not place a burden

Ogle County 4-H Clubs inviting new members 4-H youth development programs provide hands-on learning activities for youth in Illinois and throughout the country. 4-H youth programs focus on leadership, citizenship and life skills.

Every county in Illinois has a 4-H program which is operated through University of Illinois Extension. 4-H club membership is open to youth 8 to 18. Youth 5 to 7 years of age may join the 4-H Cloverbud program.

There are several ways to participate in 4-H. Youth may join 4-H clubs, coordinated by local screened adult volunteers.

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

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

Youth may also choose to focus on a very specific project area and join a club specifically related to that one project, said Jodi Baumgartner, University of Illinois Extension, Ogle County.

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

One may also participate in 4-H through short term projects held during school or at after school youth organizations. Some of these popular groups teach youth about caring for the environment, preparing for a career, making healthy choices or other priority issues which build a person’s life skills.

Currently, there are 14 community-based clubs in

Ogle County.

All are looking forward to meeting prospective new 4-H families at upcoming meetings.

To learn more about 4-H in your area, contact your local club leader.

Herbicides, weeds, prices all connected

By Lauren Quinn University of Illinois Extension Imagine walking the cereal aisle at your favorite grocery store. Are you reading labels?

Scanning prices? Thinking about weeds?

If you’re like most American consumers, weeds probably aren’t at the forefront of your mind when buying food.

But if farmers could no longer control weeds with existing herbicides, Americans would take notice pretty quickly.

“I think the future of cheap food is strongly related to the availability and effectiveness of existing herbicides,” says Adam Davis, ecologist in the Department of Crop Sciences at the University of Illinois and USDA Agricultural Research Service.

That is, without working herbicides, food could get a lot more expensive.

Davis and George Frisvold,

an economist at the University of Arizona, recently teamed up to consider the possibility that we’ve reached a critical tipping point in our ability to control agricultural weeds with the herbicides currently on the market. They published their analysis in the journal Pest Management Science.

“I believe if we fully lost chemical control of certain weeds, and if farmers continued with the cornsoybean rotation, they’d be forced to reduce their acreages as they spend more time and money managing weeds. And the cost of the end product, our food, would go up as well,” Davis says.

If you’re not in the farming industry, you might not be aware that weeds like common waterhemp and Palmer amaranth can reduce corn and soybean yields anywhere from 30 to 80 percent, and that those weeds are developing resistance Turn to 10

About the Ogle County Winners

Natalie Carlson said that of all of her 4-H memories, attending National 4-H Congress is her proudest 4-H career accomplishment.

She experienced cultural events, participated in community service, and met youth from across the country who have the same passion for 4-H that she does.

Along the way, she discovered who she truly is and says that 4-H is at the root of it all.

Her community service project of coaching a local soccer team along with a focus on health-related 4-H projects have directed her to the study of dietetics University of WisconsinStevens Point.

Her project work in Foods and Nutrition and Health have provided her with a great background to start.

“Because of 4-H, I can handle anything with the

Carlson is a past National 4-H Congress delegate and State 4-H Key Award winner.

Johnathan Prose lists his biggest accomplishment in 4-H as being a catalyst of change.

Through his service and leadership skills, he has influenced others to follow his footsteps and create change in his community.

Noticing that people with physical and mental disabilities tended not to participate in the 4-H Carnival, he organized the first-ever carnival at Village of Progress, a community focused on helping individuals with disabilities.

Prose has also taken his Visual Arts Wood project skills to another level as he works on sanding and painting dressers at the Serenity House Shed, donating bird houses to the park district.

He looks forward to serving as a catalyst as his future career plans include a degree in either Environmental Engineering or Meteorology.

Are we at a tipping point when it comes to weed control?

From page 8 to available herbicides.

Like antibiotic-resistant “superbugs,” resistant weeds simply can’t be killed by herbicides.

There are lots of herbicides on the market, but they all fall into one of 16 categories describing their mode of action (MOA), or specific target in the plant that the chemical attacks. Because of various regulations and biological realities, a smaller number of herbicide MOAs can be used on any given crop and the suite of weeds that goes along with it. At this point, many weeds are now resistant to multiple MOAs. “In some areas, we’re one or two MOAs away from completely losing chemical control for certain weeds.

For example, in east central Illinois, we have common waterhemp that is resistant to five out of the six relevant MOAs in a corn-soybean rotation,” he says. “And there are no new herbicide MOAs coming out. There haven’t been for 30 years.”

The lack of new herbicides is only one factor that led us where we are today. Davis and Frisvold suggest that herbicide susceptibility in weeds should have been viewed as a finite resource all along, like the global oil supply.

As resources start to dwindle, prices should theoretically go up as a way to prevent overuse and total resource exhaustion. But unlike oil, herbicide prices have actually decreased over the past 30 to 40 years.

“The assumption is that, in a rational market, people will use less of a dwindling resource because it gets more expensive or they notice a problem. It’s not happening for herbicides,” Davis says.

The rollout of crops engineered to tolerate herbicides like glyphosate (Round Up) may have added to the problem.

Davis believes their availability led to greater reliance on chemical solutions to weed control, rather than the diverse mix of weed management practices that used to be the norm.

And that meant farmers were spraying herbicide more frequently.

But weeds are wily.

Like all organisms, they evolve in response to their environment.

With more exposure to a certain environmental

pressure (in this case, the herbicide), the more opportunity there is for adaptation.

Over time, random genetic mutations allowed some weeds to withstand herbicides. Offspring from those plants grew, survived, and reproduced. And so on, until the majority of plants were left with the mutation.

It sounds dire, but Davis remains optimistic. “I believe there’s hope,” he says, “but it requires that we take action to diversify weed management now.”

Just what would it take to bring us back from the brink of total weed domination? Davis has a lot of ideas, but one of the big ones is something he calls the “middle way,” which bridges the gap between the traditional corn-soy rotation with its heavy herbicide inputs and a diversified organic system.

“Right now we have a dominant system where we have two summer annuals following each other.

Because we don’t have any change of phenology (timing of development) of the main crop, we have the same weed spectrum in both crops. We never destabilize it.

“But if you introduce a small winter grain or a forage legume into that system, you begin to make it difficult for summer annual weeds like waterhemp to become dominant. So you can get about 90 percent there just with a good crop rotation.

“Then you build in things like weed suppressive cultivars, banded herbicides, row spacing, cultivation, harvest weed seed control, and all these tactics together can add up to really effective weed management systems.

“We’ve shown you can reduce herbicide use by 90 percent in diversified systems and get the same amount of weed control. Same profit, same productivity, but two orders of magnitude reduction in environmental pollution, and a 90 percent reduction in fertilizer use.

It’s not hard to do for the grower,” he says.

The hard part, he notes, is thinking about economic and regulatory incentives that will help growers diversify their management practices.

But he hopes the new article will generate discussion, bring awareness to the issue, and facilitate the stewardship of existing herbicides into the future.

She and her sister became Junior Leaders in the

community service area and they expanded the club’s involvement.

They planned a variety of projects for members, such as providing donations to a battered women’s shelter, sending candy and letters to

troops, playing bingo with nursing home residents, and writing letters to ill children.

One special project was at the Serenity Hospice and Home where Abigail’s grandfather had stayed.

The group made cookies

Season ends for Marcos

Dakota defeats Forreston The Forreston Lady Cardinals season came to an end Tuesday night in two close sets against Dakota.

The Indians advanced in the Galena regional with

a pair of 25-22 games.

They advance to face host Galena on Thursday night.

Byron lost to Galena in two sets 25-13, 25-15 to end their season.

In the other half of the

The playoffs essentially started on Friday night for Eastland-Pearl City and Polo.

The Wildcatz can rest easy after rolling to a 41-7 victory in an NUIC crossover. For the Marcos, a day-long waiting game is in the works, and they are squarely on the playoff bubble.

EPC (5-4) became playoff eligible with the win, and is in good shape with 41 playoff points (combined wins by its nine opponents). In the last 5 years, the cutoff mark for 5-4 teams to get in has been 37 points (2016), 35 (2015), 39 (2014), 36 (2013) and 38 (2012).

“We knew we needed this game,” junior running back Jayden Kempel said, “and it feels really good to come out and play the way we did.”

Polo (5-4), meanwhile, is in a more tenuous position.

A victory would have gotten the Marcos to six wins and a guaranteed playoff berth.

Instead, they will be waiting and hoping luck is on their side when the field is announced late Saturday.

Polo is in that position due to its inability to get anything going against a stout EPC defense. The Marcos rushed 41 times for 93 yards – and a good chunk of those came late in the game after the outcome had been decided.

The Wildcatz also got a pair of interceptions from safety Brock Smargiassi.

“We just don’t see that

kind of defense in our half of the conference,” Polo quarterback Braiden Soltow said. “They’re huge on the line but they can move, the linebackers are all sure tacklers, and their defensive backs are solid. They just shut us down.”

The Marcos avoided a shutout when Soltow completed a 1-yard pass to Baylee Wiemken with 7 minutes, 21 seconds remaining in the contest. It got Polo within 35-7 at the time.

EPC seized control by scoring on its first two possessions. Jayden Kempel scored on a 43-yard run midway through the first quarter for the first TD. A 60-yard run by Jarod

Kempel set up the Wildcatz’ second score, a 1-yard plunge

by Braden Smargiassi with 1:23 left in the first quarter.

EPC took a 13-0 lead into halftime, then put the game on ice by scoring three times in the third quarter. Eli Dertz scored on TD runs of 3 and 34 yards, while Lucas Petersen hauled in a 40-yard TD pass from Braden Smargiassi.

• Prior to the game, a moment of silence was held for former Polo football player Terry Naylon, who died on Monday. Naylon was involved in the Marcos’ program for more than 4 decades as a player, coach and statistician. He wore No. 30 in his playing days, and both 30-yard lines were painted blue and gold in his honor.

sectional Oregon defeated Rockford Christian in two sets 25-17. 25-9 to advance in the Pecatonica regional.

Oregon plays Rockford Lutheran Thursday night.

Forreston hosts first round Three Ogle County high school football teams have qualified for the state playoff series which starts this week.

Forreston (8-1) hosts Catlin Salt Fork (5-4) on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in the first round of the Class 1A playoffs.

Salt Fork, with an enrollment of 278, plays in the Vermillion Valley Conference. Three of their four losses were to Eureka 27-10 (Aug. 25); Watseka 28-7 (Sept. 1); and Westville 48-14 (Sept. 8). They also lost to Bismark 35-21 on Sept. 29.

Their wins were: Sept.

15, Hoopeston 46-0; Sept.

23, Georgetown 14-12; Oct. 6 Milford 51-12; Oct. 13 Dwight 42-0; and Oct. 20 Fithian 41-20.

Forreston’s only loss this season was to archrival Lena-Winslow on Sept. 1, 28-14. The school’s enrollment is 268.

Their wins were: Aug. 25 Pecatonica, 54-6; Sept.

8. Dakota 40-0; Sept. 15.

Eastland-Pearl City 30-18; Sept. 22. Freeport Aquin 5019; Sept. 29 East Dubuque 40-7; Oct. 6 Galena 48-7; Oct. 13 Savanna West Carroll 44-6; and Oct. 20 Amboy 546.

Salt Fork @ Forreston

Forreston will host the Round 1 playoff game versus Salt Fork on Saturday, Oct. 28 with a kickoff time of 3:30 p.m.

The gates will open at 2 p.m. p.m. game. Winnebago’s losses were to Byron 50-6; Genoa-Kingston 42-21; and Rockford Christian 54-0.

4A Rochelle (6-3) hosts Chicago (Agricultural Science) (6-3) on Friday, Oct. 27, at 7 p.m.

Playoffs Polo was among 17 teams that finished with a 5-4 record and did not earn a playoff berth. The Marcos had 38 playoff points, or wins by their nine opponents, but needed 39 to get into a tiebreaker.

For other area teams, there will be some familiar faces going up against each other in the first round of the IHSA football playoffs.

Dixon faces a matchup with former conference rival Geneseo. Sterling Newman has a third meeting in six years with Aurora Christian.

Newman drew the No. 1 seed in Class 2A, but the reward is a first-round game against No. 16 seed Aurora Christian.

“It’s a very tough first game for being a one seed, but we have to play where they put us,” Newman coach Mike Papoccia said.

The Comets beat the Eagles 44-21 in a firstround game in 2014. Aurora Christian beat Newman 41-7 in a Class 3A semifinal in 2012.

“I’m sure it’s the same

type of team,” Papoccia said.

“They always have some big, strong linemen, and their quarterback is very talented.

They throw the ball a lot.

They play tough defense because they’ve played some stiff competition. We’re going to have to be on our best.”

The Dukes will host Geneseo, a conference rival in the NCIC and Northern Illinois Big 12 from 1981 to 2013, for a 7 p.m. kickoff on Friday.

Geneseo enters the playoffs at 5-4, sneaking by a seven-win Morris team, 21-17, at home to assure itself of its 54th consecutive winning season. The Dukes, meanwhile, are coming off a tough 48-47 loss at North Boone, one which dashed hopes of a perfect season.

As conference opponents, the Dukes have only had two wins against the Maple Leafs, coming in 1991 and 2001.

Sterling (9-0) draws the No. 2 seed in the North in Class 5A and will open the postseason against No. 15 seed St. Viator (5-4).

“I don’t know too much about them,” Sterling coach Jon Schlemmer said. “I know the league they play in and it’s one of the better leagues in Illinois. They’re obviously well-tested.”

St. Viator went 4-3 in the East Suburban Catholic Conference this year.

Conference rivals Marist, Nazareth Academy, Niles Notre Dame, Benet Academy and Woodstock Marian all made the playoffs this year.

In other Class 1A action, Fulton (6-3) will be making the trip south to take on Ottawa Marquette. The Turn to B2

Cardinals handle Amboy The Forreston Cardinals didn’t waste anytime last Friday putting their winning stamp on the final game of the 2017 regular season, downing Amboy-Lamoille 54-6.

Gavin Fuchs put the Cards on the scoreboard first when he scored on a three-yard run at the 9-minute mark in the first quarter. Cailean Davids

knocked the extra point throughout the uprights to make it 7-0.

Also in the first quarter, Cardinals added touchdowns by Ethan Mulder (3-yard run), Evan Kelsey (3-yard run), AJ Christensen (60-yard run), followed by Davids’ extra points, to make it 28-0.

Kelsey scored another touchdown early in the

second quarter when he broke loose from the line of scrimmage and ran 74 yards to the end zone. Joseph Bowers scored on a 18-yard run followed by Hunter Rogers on a 5-yard run to make it 48-0 at the half.

Forreston (8-1) hosts Catlin Salt Fork (5-4) on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in the first round of the Class 1A playoffs.

Football playoff matchups From B1 Crusaders (7-2) were champions of the Northeast Athletic Conference and proved to be a dangerous foe a year ago, when they advanced to the semifinals before losing to eventual state champion Forreston.

Marquette is coached by Tom Jobst, who posted a 5028 record as Morrison head coach from 1980-87.

“We’re somewhat familiar with their style from when their coach was at Morrison,” Fulton coach Patrick Lower said. “They run the Wing-T, and they play disciplined, assignment football. We’ll need to have a great week of practice, and it is critical we do not make mistakes against a team like theirs.”

The Steamers are the lone Class 1A team from the Three Rivers to qualify for the playoffs, which Lower noted will be an advantage.

As long as they stay alive, they’ll face a different opponent each week.

“The last thing you want in the playoffs is to be playing teams that you’ve already played in the regular season,” Lower said. “The fun part

is to prepare for teams you don’t know much about, and they don’t know much about you.”

Fulton and Marquette will play at 1 p.m. Saturday.

The winner will get either Forreston (8-1) or Salt Fork (5-4) in the second round.

Eastland-Pearl City (54) needed to beat Polo in Week 9 to become playoff eligible. The Wildcatz’ reward is a first-round date against Gibson City-MelvinSibley (9-0) in the Class 2A playoffs.

“They were a team on our radar, but we thought they would go south, so right now we’re kind of scrambling,” EPC coach Randy Asche said. “Looking at their scores, they didn’t have a game under 40 all year. We watched a little film on them, and they can run it, pass it and play aggressive defense.

They look like the real deal.”

Gibson City-MelvinSibley ran away with the Heart of Illinois (Small) Conference title, and outscored its nine opponents by a whopping 424-46 margin. The Falcons’ closest game was a 45-18 decision

against El Paso-Gridley in Week 3. Their defense has four shutouts and has allowed a mere 15 points over the last six games.

GCMS is no stranger to the playoffs, with this being the Falcons’ 17th appearance, including 12th in the last 13 seasons. Their deepest run came in 2009, when they reached the 2A semifinals before losing at Morrison.

Eastland-Pearl City and Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley will play at 2 p.m. Saturday.

For West Carroll (6-3), it’s another trip to the playoffs, and another road trip in the first round. The Thunder, who missed the playoffs last season, will travel to Minonk to take on Fieldcrest (7-2), time and date to be determined.

The Knights have gone up against NUIC competition before in the playoffs, most recently in a 46-33 2A semifinal loss to EastlandPearl City in 2014. Other than that, Thunder coach Matt Leitzen didn’t know a whole lot else about this year’s version of their opponents.

“They played EPC a

couple of years ago during EPC’s title run, so I’ve watched them once, but that was 3 years ago,” Leitzen said. “We don’t know a whole lot about them, but I do know that they were one of the teams that we were projected to play. We’ve done a little work, but not a whole lot yet.”

West Carroll has won only one playoff game, coming in 2007 at Illini West – successors of state power program Carthage. Two years ago, the Thunder were shut out 22-0 against Tri-

Valley in Downs.

The Knights are runnersup this year in the Large Division of the Heart of Illinois Conference, behind Tri-Valley.

“I don’t think you ever let the travel bother you if you’re glad you get an opportunity to play in the postseason,” Leitzen said. “It’s a little bit of a haul, but it’s something we’ve been accustomed to when we’ve been in the playoffs.”

Milledgeville (7-2) was hoping for a win over Aquin on Friday, but that didn’t

happen in a 38-0 road loss in Freeport. With seven wins, the chances of hosting a first-round playoff game were about 50 percent, but the Missiles drew an No. 8 seed and will play hosts at Floyd Daub Field against Abingdon-Avon, time and date to be determined.

The Tornadoes are also 7-2, and play in the Black Division of the Prairieland Conference.

They are coming off of a winless season, and opened this year by winning their first five games.

Sports Column Winners, losers in IHSA state playoff series

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Who were the winners and losers in the IHSA announcement of the football playoffs?

For Polo, it was the cruelest of blows, just missing by two spots. The Marcos did everything expected of them to make the cut of 256, including beating a very good Orangeville team in week one.

EPC, Aquin and Stockton were long shots to win and Milledgeville proved itself by finishing 7-2.

Considering how shorthanded Polo was all year, a 5-4 record was outstanding. Making the playoffs shouldn’t be the only measure of success for a football team.

Credit to coach Bumstead and Marco football for gutting it out this year.

After seeing how tough EPC played Forreston earlier in the year, I was surprised to see them lose to West Carroll and Dakota, depriving Polo of the playoff points needed

to get in. Even coach Randy Asche is perplexed on the funk EPC fell into.

In the 1A north bracket, Lena-Winslow fared much better than Forreston, without a major challenger standing in its way to the semifinals.

No Gimmes for Cards Forreston will have a difficult second round game with either Fulton or Ottawa Marquette. Fulton is the real darkhorse, having played 2A power Rockridge to within one point.

Everyone feels Le-Win, Forreston, and Tuscola, from the south, are the teams to beat. Add Fulton to that list, as well.

A potential quarterfinal matchup with No. 2 seed A n n awa n - We t h e r s f i e l d could result and that is no gimme either.

Tuscola snuck into 1A as the largest school and has a winning tradition. Whoever makes the championship game on either side will have a tall task.

If Forreston makes it to DeKalb, I love the prospect of them facing a smallschool heavyweight.

Class 2A In 2A, Sterling Newman got the absolute worse draw any No. 1 seed could have, playing 5-4 Aurora

Christian. Not only is AC the largest school in 2A, but three of their losses were to 6A playoff teams and the fourth was to Brother Rice, enrollment 2,415.

Oregon Hawk football fans certainly remember how dominating AC was in the 3A playoffs.

Another intriguing 2A first round game is 5-4 Rockford Christian versus 7-2 Orion. RC has never won a playoff game in seven tries, but shouldn’t a tested BNC team have an upper hand over someone from a much smaller conference?

In fact, it was just a couple years ago that Orion was 1A. Good News for Byron Byron, which claimed the Big Northern title outright after Dixon was beat by North Boone, got as good of a bracket as expected.

Favored Elmhurst IC is on the other side of the pairings and wouldn’t be seen until the semifinals.

The Tigers claimed the No. 3 seed and if they had dropped one spot to No. 4, Elmhurst would have been a round 2 opponent. That’s the luck of the draw sometimes.

Will the lack of competition hurt Byron once they run into a formidable foe?

The other Ogle County school in the playoffs,

defeated opponents wins, with Hinsdale having a 1211 edge. That’s how tenuous Rochelle’s grasp on the 5A/4A bubble was.

Statewide, New Lenox Providence (5-4) may have set a new record for playoff Class 4A In 4A, Rochelle is as good points with 59. Amazingly, as any team in the northern eight of their nine opponents bracket and is also the had a 6-3 or better record.

IMG. These kids attend a boarding school to prepare for a career in sports and there are plenty of parents more than willing to fork over the $70,000 tuition.

The IMG players don’t even look like typical high schoolers. The offensive tackles were both 6-foot-8 and close to 400 pounds, one from Australia and the other Connecticut.

Around here, much is made of the all-star teams put together by private schools or public schools in Chicago. Compared to what takes place at IMG Academy, that’s minuscule.

Doesn’t this sound like an extreme case of high school football out of control?

Ogle County Newspapers, Thursday, October 26, 2017, Page B9

Astrograph Don’t stifle your creativity. Use your imagination to come up with the best solution for every situation you encounter this year. Be true to yourself.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2017 SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Make your home your haven. A creative space that you can tinker in will lead to a pursuit that you find inspiring and others will be intrigued by.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Protect against physical or emotional stress.

Stay on top of unfinished business to ensure that it is completed before it’s due.

Don’t let temptation turn into a financial loss.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Mesh the past with the present and you will be able to build a solid future. Reuniting with old friends or colleagues will open doors that can lead to new beginnings.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- There is no room for risk.

Jumping into a deal without doing proper research will put you in a difficult position personally and financially.

Make health, diet and exercise priorities.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Your participation in community events or a joint venture will give you a chance to show off your skills and offer unique solutions. Someone close to you will be jealous.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t feel the need to make an abrupt change or impulsive decision. You have plenty of time to research and figure out what exactly you want to do.

Refuse to fold under pressure.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Emotional decisions are not likely to turn out the way you want. Think before you act. Personal growth, general improvement and stabilizing your future should be your goals.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Avoid people with colds and flus, and places likely to have lots of germs. Protect your health and stay focused on getting plenty of rest, eating properly and exercising to keep fit and remain productive.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Finish what you start.

Your reputation will get a boost if you can turn chaos into order.

An intellectual discussion with someone very different from you will be enlightening.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Networking functions will lead to new opportunities.

Adapt to whatever changes come your way. Your ability to go with the flow will help you accomplish your goals.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- An emotional incident will leave you questioning your next move. Take better care of your health and emotional frame of mind. Finish one job before you start another in order to avoid criticism.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t say or do something you’ll regret. Revealing a secret or arguing over something trivial will not help you win friends or favors. Personal growth should be your goal. ©2017 UFS
