The family of Virgil Swalve recently donated three benches to the Forreston community in his memory. The one above is at Warnken Park and the other two are at the Forreston Public Library and Farmer’s Family Restaurant. Photo supplied

Benches donated in memory of Virgil Swalve

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com The family of a lifelong Forreston resident has given back to the community in his memory.

Three benches has been donated to the village in memory of Virgil Swalve, who died last November at the age of 82.

The funds to purchase the red benches came from memorial money given at the time of Swalve’s death.

“Virgil loved his hometown of Forreston, and because of your generous gifts in his memory, the family commissioned the building of three custom park benches,” read a press release from the family, which includes Swalve’s wife, Damaris Windle Swalve; daughters, Amy Swalve

Rasing (Daniel) and Peggy Swalve; and grandsons, Josh and Tyler Rasing.

“The benches are located where Virgil frequented and where people can enjoy them. You will find the red benches, Virgil’s favorite color, at Farmer’s Restaurant, the George and Florence Windle Public Library, and Warnken Park near the ball diamond,” the press release said.

An auctioneer, Swalve donated his time and ability at the auction block to many fundraising events.

He became a licensed real estate salesperson and went onto earn his real estate brokers license in 1988.

He was pleased to help several generations of families find housing and farmland in the community he loved.

Swalve was a charter member of the Forreston Lions Club and served three terms as the organization’s president.

He sponsored more than 50 new members and was honored with the Melvin Jones Award, the Lion’s Club highest honor.

Under his leadership two community parks were developed featuring play equipment he helped to construct.

He also volunteered his help with Forreston Hometown Days and served on three county fair boards.

“Our family hopes you will continue to share your memories with us about Virgil and find time to ‘sit for a spell’ and enjoy these benches in these special spots in our community for many years to come,” said press release concluded.

The cost is $7 for adults and $3 for children ages 4-12.

A meal of a hot dog, chips, beverage, and dessert is $3 with an extra hot dog available for $1.

Carry outs will be available.

The silent auction is one of the largest in northwest Illinois. Items include certificates for oil changes, restaurants, beauty salons, car washes, merchandise, gift baskets, and much more.

More mentors are needed for this school year.

OGLE COUNTY

Persistent storms bring a foot of rain to the area

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com Round after round of heavy rain for the last week has put area rivers and streams out of their banks across Ogle County.

By Monday afternoon as much as a foot of rain had fallen over some of the area.

According to the National Weather Service, the Rock River at Byron hit flood stage of 13 feet early Tuesday morning, and, with more rain in the forecast, is expected to rise to 15 feet by the time the storms let up on Sunday.

Ogle County Chief Deputy Sheriff Danny White said that low-lying areas like Rock River Terrace and Irwin Acres south of Byron, Brooks Isle near Oregon, and the Murray

Subdivision near Grand Detour were filling with water, but so far no evacuation plan was in effect.

“I’m not sure about the evacuation level,” he said Tuesday afternoon. “I think people are trying to maintain what they have.”

A no wake order, which limits the speed of water craft to five miles per hour, went into effect Monday on the Rock River through the county.

Further upstream in Winnebago County and Rock County, Wisconsin, the no wake order was issued over the weekend.

The Rock River Sweep set for Sept.

8 was canceled because of the high water and predicted storms.

Heavy rain began moving through the county late Aug. 28 into Aug. 29.

• FLOOD Continued from Page 3 The storms resumed with determination on Aug. 31 and continued through Monday afternoon.

Although heavy rain was the main factor in the storms, some strong winds also came with them, bringing down trees and tree limbs.

A tornado was sighted north of Adeline on Monday but no damage was reported.

Saturated ground created puddles and ponding nearly everywhere.

The Leaf River came out of its banks late Saturday night, spilling water into nearby fields and basements.

Pond Road had the north side of the Village of Leaf River was underwater and closed to traffic by early Sunday morning.

Leaf River Maintenance Supervisor Cam McGill was running pumps round the clock at the village’s wastewater treatment plant and low-lying downtown to keep sewer mains from being overwhelmed.

After clearing off late Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning, the NWS forecast called for more storms from Tuesday afternoon through Saturday night.

Dear Editor,

Delmar Lohr Forreston

Quick response of police and fire departments appreciated Dear Editor, I wish to thank the Oregon Police Department and Oregon Fire Protection District for the fine service provided me during my recent dire situation.

At three in the morning Aug. 20 my wife was unresponsive and my desperate call was made for assistance and the immediate response and

Bob Rees Oregon

Sauerkraut Days donation appreciated Dear Editor, The New Life Community Center would like to thank the entire community for the generous donation of the Sauerkraut Days Community Church Service offering.

With this helping hand, we are able to make available essential aid to members of our community.

This is appreciated and we are very thankful. God bless everyone.

Peggy Schneiderman Forreston

SSET 4 School supplied 125 kids Dear Editor, “Thanks” just doesn’t seem big enough to express how grateful I am to all those that made donations to SSET 4 School.

Each year we never know how many supplies or how much money will be donated, and yet we continue to be blown away by the support this program receives.

This year we supplied 125 students with backpacks full of school supplies.

This would never, ever be possible without the support of community organizations, churches, businesses,and anyone that donated supplies and/or money.

Many thanks to German American Bank, Bertolet Memorial Library, Forreston Public Library, and Koeller Forreston Hardware for once again being supply drop off sites.

Thanks to the churches in Forreston, Baileyville, Leaf River, and German Valley that collected supplies and dropped them off.

Thanks to the Forreston Lion’s

Club, Forreston Fire Department, Forreston Fireman’s Association, Forrestville Valley Youth Network, Leaf River Methodist Church, and Forreston Mutual Insurance for your generous donations.

Thanks to the many individuals that gave unexpected monetary donations.

Thanks to Jonathan Schneiderman for your continued support and making sure the distribution information is sent to all FVV families via email.

A special thanks to Stacey Bolen, Katey Voss, and Ross Williams for their help on distribution day.

It truly “takes a village” is proven year after year as “our” kids are able to start school with the things they need.

Thank you!

Supports Dady for Congress Dear Editor,

Does Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger represent you?

What has our current Congressman done to represent the farmers, the retired workers, small business owners, union members and the many hard working people of the 16th Congressional District?

Adam Kinzinger voted for enormous permanent tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, and very little temporary tax relief for the rest of us.

In 2017, Kinzinger voted for a GOP healthcare plan that would have kicked roughly 24 million people off their health insurance plans and eliminated coverage for pre-existing conditions.

A provision in the bill ensured Kinzinger would keep his healthcare plan as it exists under the Affordable Care Act, but repealed it for the rest of the country.

He also voted to eliminate the IPAB, an independent board that keeps Medicare costs below limits.

He claims to be the champion of Medicare access.

We have access to Medicare and Medicaid, two federal programs paid for by our taxes during our working years.

Medicare would not be in jeopardy in a Congress with Democrats ready to protect your healthcare.

On July 25, 2017 Kinzinger voted against sanctions on Russia, Iran, and North Korea, countries that threaten our very existence.

On the environment, he repealed requiring energy companies to reduce waste and emissions, repealed the stream protection rule and barred the EPA from regulating greenhouse gases.

Where is he on affordable, quality childcare for working families?

Where is he on affordable college/ trade career training and student debt? What are his ideas for investing in badly needed infrastructure?

The citizens of the 16th Congressional District have a choice. It will require change to move forward as a nation.

Our change will be made by electing Sara Dady as our representative.

Sara Dady states,”I am running for Congress because I am committed to building a better future for everyone. This means investing together in strong schools, safe communities, universal healthcare and protection of worker rights for a prosperous economy.”

Adam Kinzinger is not my representative. Is he yours?

During John McCain’s campaign for President, a woman in the audience said she could not trust Obama because he was an Arab.

McCain responded, “No ma’am. No ma’am. He’s a decent, family man, citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues, and that’s what this campaign is all about.”

In my opinion, that response was as great a gift to our country as McCain’s military service.

It’s a long way from calling his opponent “crooked” and leading the crowd in shouting “Jail him!”

Crude verbal attacks and name calling make both a family and a country dysfunctional.

Another McCain quote is particularly relevant, “Our shared values define us more than our differences.”

We have been told to distrust our government, the news, the intelligence agencies, our allies, immigrants, minorities, other religions, and the results of scientific research - to name a few.

Democracy cannot function without the ability to reach a workable compromise, and that can hardly be done without trust and respect for those whose views differ from ours.

Russians must be calling for another round of vodka, reveling in their success at dividing us, as if we needed any help.

professional performance was more than anyone could wish for.

Sadly the end result was inevitable and my wife passed one week later, but because of your performances, Gail was able to respond to her loved ones during a brief consciousness.

VILLAGE BOARD

Resident questions need for building permit

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com A Forreston resident questioned the need for a building permit at Tuesday’s village board meeting.

“I don’t think a permit was necessary for what I was doing,” Jason Lynn, 406 S. Third Ave., told the board.

Lynn said his permit had already been approved and paid for.

He told the board that he replaced an unsound concrete patio with a new concrete patio using the same footprint, a situation that he does not believe should require a permit.

Trustee Gary Buss started to make a motion to waive Lynn’s permit fee, but trustee Ken Toms, who

oversees permits, stopped him.

Toms said village has been requiring permits and charging fees for several similar projects.

Buss questioned if permits are going to be required for projects like replacing roofs, windows, and sidewalks.

Toms said permits are needed so that village officials are aware of what property owners are doing and to ensure it complies with village ordinances.

Village president Mark Metzger agreed.

“I do believe the building permit was needed,” he said, answering Lynn’s question. “We don’t require permits just so the village can increase revenue. The reason we

have permits is to make sure everything is done safely and correctly.”

Toms said the board has recently made some building ordinances stricter, and needs to be consistent.

“I just feel that this board made a minimum [permit] fee of $50 in the last year, and we’ve tightened down on fences,” he said, adding that the same rules should apply to all projects.

Buss agreed that permits are needed to be ensure projects conform to the standards set in the ordinances.

Metzger told Lynn the board will meet to study the building ordinances.

“There are some things in our ordinances we need to clear up,”

he said.

After tabling an application for a pool permit on a project that is already underway, Metzger recommended that residents call the village hall before beginning projects to find out if a permit is required.

The board also referred a permit application from Valerie Woods, 102 S. Third Ave., to the Planning Commission’s variance committee.

Woods wants to build an attached garage, but the proposed project is four feet short of the required 25-foot setback from her property line.

In other business, the board approved a contract with Rise Broadband to lease space on the water tower.

Everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.

EDUCATION

Rock River Sweep canceled

Tutors needed for adult education in math, reading, writing, ESL

Mother Nature has put the kibosh on the Rock River Sweep, at least for this month anyway.

The event, scheduled for Sept. 8, has been canceled due to recent heavy rains that have increased water levels in the Rock River.

“You may have noticed the river is now dangerously high following the week of heavy rains, and more rains coming this week,” Terry Schuster, Oregon Together and Rock River Sweep volunteer said in an email. “There will be no Rock River Sweep this Saturday, Sept. 8. A decision will be made later this week whether to reschedule the Sweep on another date this fall... depending on how quickly river conditions recover. So please stay tuned.”

“And thank you to so many who had

already committed to help with this event! We hope to see everyone again later,” Schuster said.

Oregon’s Rock River Sweep focuses on cleaning the banks of the Rock River from Mud Creek Road to Castle Rock State Park.

The Rock River Sweep is an effort by many groups up and down the Rock River, from Horicon, Wisconsin to where the Rock meets the Mississippi River.

It is sponsored by RockRiverSweep.org, a grass roots, non-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving the health and ecosystem of the Rock River and its tributaries.

For more information visit Facebook: “Rock River Sweep.org”, or www.rockriversweep.org, email commissioner.schuster@gmail.com, or call 815-988-3202.

The Adult Education Program at Highland Community College, Freeport, is seeking volunteers to tutor adults in the district.

Volunteers tutor math, reading, writing, or English as a Second Language.

Friday night was perfect night for football A little lightning did not delay the action due to common sense

A

s I walked home following the Oregon and Genoa-Kingston football game, there was sense of satisfaction.

Though my team lost, it was a wonderful evening to be at Landers-Loomis Field.

For starters, and I say this ever year, the maintenance staff at OHS has the field in immaculate condition. Looking down from the bleachers, it was aesthetically pleasing to the eye, much like a work of art, should there be such a thing among small school stadiums.

There was a large and enthusiastic crowd. Credit to the school section for standing on their feet for the entire game and cheering even with the Hawks trailing.

Band, cheer and pom squads – it was all good stuff.

I particularly enjoyed the half-

SPORTS COMMENTARY Andy Colbert time intermingling of students from G-K and Oregon. It was a tradition started in basketball and will continue anytime these two schools play each other.

Great sportsmanship and credit to athletic directors Mike Lawton and Phil Jerbi for facilitating.

There needs to be more of this between schools at all athletic events.

With 16 varsity players, Oregon gave all they had. There is no shame in losing to a solid program like G-K. It was excellent sportsmanship exhibited by both teams, with no cheap shots or badmouthing. The coaches on both sidelines were well behaved, which sets an example of the kids.

Anytime a coach starts blaming an official, it signals to his or her own players that they don’t need to be accountable. When things don’t

go your way, it’s someone else’s fault.

An added plus that evening was an excellent fresh-soph contest, one of the best I’ve seen in awhile at Oregon. That bodes well for the future.

Several years ago, I remember covering a few Byron games with a kid named Chad Wilmarth playing fullback. What a pleasure to see him as G-K head coach and to reflect in on-going relationships we get to have as sports reporters.

Byron, Forreston and Rochelle all have head coaches I used to cover. I never covered Mike Lalor of Stillman Valley as a player, but have become good friends because of 20 years doing his games.

Had I covered his loss against Byron Friday, I may have teased him afterwards that he was spending too much time protesting solar farms instead of working on the game plan.

Maybe not. Depending on a coach’s mood, us reporters have to be careful about what we say.

Another 20-year guy that makes Friday nights special is Sam Ramirez. How many other BNC schools have a radio duo like Sam

and Mark Herman, who have broadcasting the same football team for that long? None, that I know of.

That’s genuine Americana on display - two guys in a press box telling a weekly story on Oregon football.

On a beautiful evening, wasn’t it nice to see lightning in the distance and not have to deal with a mandatory 30-minute delay?

The IHSA has gone to a common sense approach, allowing officials to make a judgment call on the seriousness of the weather.

I truly doubt if I would have been in that same great mood, had the game been plagued by stoppages for no good reason, other than Draconian safety measures.

With a volleyball tournament going on in a stuffy Blackhawk Center, it dawned on me why beach volleyball has become so popular.

There’s something to be said for having your sport take place in the great outdoors, provided the weather is suitable and Friday was just right.

Yes, Friday was just right for being a Hawk fan.

BY ROB LAIRD Special to Shaw Media

• Friday, September 7, 2018

The Milledgeville Missiles would sure like to figure out why they’ve been starting games slowly for the better part of the last two seasons.

Until then, they’ll just have to settle for winning games on the might of strong second-half efforts like their 26-8 victory over Polo on Friday.

“It took effort. It paid off tonight,” said Milledgeville running back Carson Boyer, who rushed for a game-high 116 yards and two touchdowns on just 10 carries. “We feel good, but right now, we’ve got to get past Stockton [next week].”

The final score tells of a relatively worry-free outcome, but it wasn’t the case until the Missiles (2-0, 1-0 Northwest Upstate Illini) scored back-to-back touchdowns in the first 6 minutes of the third quarter, highlighted by a 47-yard TD run by Cayde Gusloff on the second play of the half.

After Milledgeville’s defense forced a three-and-out, the offense went back to work, and Boyer punched in a 15-yard score to give the Missiles a comfortable 26-6 edge.

The outburst to the start of the second half was a welcome sight for Milledgeville coach Jason Wroble, who watched his team struggle to a 10-6 halftime lead, and Polo appeared ready to push the favored Missiles to the limit.

“We bring back a pretty solid core from last year, but just like last year, this group seems to always start off slow,” Wroble said. “They always get it together, but they just start slow, and we can’t figure out why. We’re going to have to figure out soon, or it’s going to catch up to us eventually.”

The game featured a fun little anomaly with each team recording a safety.

Milledgeville’s came early in the contest when Polo snapped the ball out of the end zone on a punt attempt. The Marcos (1-1, 1-1) bounced back from the gaffe by taking a 6-2 lead on a nifty catch and run by Tucker Mumford, who hauled in a pass from Braiden Soltow, put a spin move on a Milledgeville defender, and raced untouched for a 54-yard score.

Boyer made sure that the Marcos’ lead didn’t last long, turning the corner for a 35-yard touchdown on the Missiles’ next drive.

“We were trying to get to the outside because [the Marcos)]blitz their linebackers inside,” Boyer said. “I saw that I had one guy to beat and Nate Rahn put a good block on him. I was able to get to the outside.”

FORRESTON VOLLEYBALL

Lady Cardinals have tough schedule at Oregon

BY ANDY COLBERT acolbert@oglecountynews.com Being bracketed in a tough pool, Forreston got through the Oregon Volleyball Tournament unscathed on Friday with two wins, but lost Saturday to Durand 25-14 and 25-13.

The 1A state trophy Bulldogs ended up beating Oregon for the championship.

For Forreston, it was a bit of a disappointment after defeating Durand in summer volleyball.

“We could tell they wanted it more and they out-worked us,” Forreston coach Shannon Williams said. “Offensively, we had opportunities, but had more hitting errors than kills.”

In both games, Forreston started out fine. A pair of well-placed tips by Katie Erdmann and block by Kaitlyn Mateika kept game one tied 5-5.

Especially satisfying to fans of both teams at the Blackhawk Center was a well-played long rally at the 5-point mark.

Numerous saving shots were made by several players, with Durand finally earning the point.

A trio of Bulldog kills upped the lead to 8-5. The Cardinals pulled to within 12-11 on a tip by Taylor Greenfield and kill by Erdmann. Greenfield would have another nifty play on a misdirection hit for another score later in the game, and Erdmann would add two more kills.

That was all the offense Forreston could generate, as Durand outside hitters Katie Nevdal (10 kills, 8 digs) and McKenzie Damon (12 kills, 14 digs) took control the rest of the way with thundering kills. Marissa Kelsey added 24 assists.

“They are a very good team with a good setter,” Williams said. “We couldn’t keep up with them on offense.”

Forreston took a 3-1 lead in the second game on a kill and tip by Erdmann and service ace by Grace Carr, who added a tip the game at 4-4.

Durand quickly reeled off seven unanswered points and Forreston lost freshman Kara Erdmann for most of the game to an injury. She hit the floor head first trying to make a save.

“We adjusted well with our libero down,” Williams said.

Erdmann was able to return late in the game. Forreston pulled to within 13-9 on a tip and kill by Katie Erdmann. After that, it was all Durand.

“We went out with a lot of energy and were able to mix up sets,” Durand coach Molly Kelsey said. “Our blockers showed up and were huge aspects of the defense.”

Forreston finished the tournament in seventh place.

FORRESTON FOOTBALL

Cardinals fall 36-16 to defending state champ

BY ANDY COLBERT acolbert@oglecountynews.com In a dominating performance, defending state champ LenaWinslow showed Forreston why they are the No. 1-ranked team in 1A. Jumping off to a 29-0 first half lead, the Panthers survived a minor comeback by Forreston in the third quarter for the 36-16 win.

“It would be unfair to compare them to last year,” Forreston coach Kyle Zick said. “What I do know is they are very talented and you can’t make mistakes like we did and expect to compete with them.”

Bailey Cullor and Cailean Davids started the rally with a 40-yard touchdown pass before the half ended. With minus rushing yards in the first half, the Cardinals were forced to rely on the pass.

“We missed assignments and holes in the first half and Le-Win is too talented to that and expect to compete with them,” Zick said.

Garett Badertscher then tacked on a 2-yard run on the Cardinals’ first possession of the second half to make it 29-16.

After getting rolled by the Panther running game earlier, Forreston’s defense raised up to make two stops in the third quarter. A renewed Cardinal ground game then moved the ball inside the red zone, only to be turned away on downs.

“We still have some things to work on, but most everything is fixable, as long as the fight is there,” Zick said. “They completed for all four quarters and themselves a shot in the second half. We have a lot to be proud of.”

Isaiah Bruce, a converted running back, had a 62-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to effectively put the game away.

Sean Ormiston, who like Bruce is a junior, had nearly 150 yards in the first half alone.

Ormiston ended with 30 carries for 182 yards and three touchdowns.

Bruce had 110 yards on seven carries and caught five passes for 35 yards.

Forreston did make major inroads

running ball in the second half, finishing with 172 yards. Cullor led the way with 68 yards on 11 carries, while adding 106 yards through the air.

“Cullor played much better once he settled down, Zick said. “He has the talent and ability to do very well.”

Evan Kelsey was next with 52 hard-fought yards on 18 totes. Badertscher was held to only 12 yards on 8 tries.

In what could be the most crucial game of the regular season, Forreston goes on the road to Dakota, in a battle of teams expected to finish second or third in NUIC play.

The Cardinals have a 3-game winning streak against Dakota.

“To reach the goals we have, we need to play more fundamentally sound and aggressive in the first half,” Zick said. “This is the second straight game we’ve started slow and we can’t do that again this week.”

SUDOKU PUZZLE

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
