Ex-husband/father pleads not guilty to 2016 deaths of Byron mother and son

Duane Meyer is charged with first degree murder and aggravated arson

BY LINDSEY SALVATELLI lsalvatelli@saukvalley.com The father of a child who died in a Byron house fire 3 years ago has pleaded not guilty to charges he killed his ex-wife and their 3-year-old son and set their house on fire.

Margaret “Maggie” Meyer, 31, was found dead on a couch on the first floor of her burning home at 2020 N. Silverthorn Drive on Oct. 19, 2016, and her 3-year-old son, Amos, was pronounced dead a short time later at a Rockford hospital.

Duane “D.C.” Meyer, 37, of Byron, who was arrested at 6 a.m. Oct. 9 was indicted by an Ogle County grand jury on four counts of first-degree murder, which carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison, two counts of aggravated arson and one count of concealment of a homicidal death, Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle said in a news conference on Oct. 9.

At the time of his arrest, he also had a loaded firearm and was charged with unlawful use of a weapon, VanVickle said. Meyer, who is being held on $10 million bond, was scheduled to have a bond reduction hearing Oct. 16. Rockford attorney Christopher A. DeRango is

Duane “DC” Meyer

Maggie and Amos Meyer

representing him.

Meyer reported the fire, around 6:40 a.m. that morning. He told officials he was there to pick up his son. The couple had divorced about a month earlier. Ogle County Court records show she filed for the dissolution in November 2014 and the divorce was granted on Sept. 8, 2016.

When firefighters arrived, smoke alarms were sounding, the house was filled with heavy smoke, and Meyer and a Byron police officer were on the lawn performing CPR on Amos, who had been in an upstairs bedroom.

Amos and his father were taken to

then-Rockford Memorial Hospital, where the boy was pronounced dead.

An autopsy showed he died of smoke inhalation.

Authorities have declined to reveal the cause of Maggie Meyer’s death, although they said pathologists have determined it. They also have not said how the fire started.

A representative from the State Fire Marshal’s Office determined the fire was an arson while he was at the scene.

Maggie, the daughter of Donald and Luann Rosko, of Mt. Morris, was a teacher at the Chana Educational Center.

Candlelight vigil for slain mother and son is Oct. 19 The Rosko family and friends are hosting a candlelight vigil in memorial of the passing of Maggie Rosko and Amos Meyer.

Oct. 19, 2019 marks the third anniversary of their deaths in a Byron fire. The deaths were ruled homicides.

The vigil will be held on Saturday, Oct. 19 from 6:30-8 p.m. on the Ogle County Courthouse Square in Oregon. Candles and holders will be provided.

Don and Luann Rosko of Mt. Morris took part in a 2018 Law enforcement officials are still candlelight vigil for their daughter, Maggie and grandson working to solve the arson and douAmos. This year’s vigil is Oct. 19. Photo by Earleen Hinton ble homicide 3 years ago that took

the lives of the young Byron mother and her 3-year-old son.

The vigil will be held outdoors, so participants are asked to dress for the weather. It is requested that those joining the vigil wear green, one of Maggie and Amos’s favorite colors.

If you are unable to attend, please join the online “Light a Candle” memorial. Light a candle where you are and share it on the Justice for Maggie and Amos Facebook page.

ACCIDENT IN OREGON

Half of large maple tree comes crashing down on pick up

An Arizona man escaped injury on a windy Saturday afternoon when half of a large tree came crashing down, crushing a pickup truck as it sat in the home’s driveway.

Dereck Mast, who owns the home at 411 S. Fourth Street in Oregon, has been hard at work renovating the two-story structure. He was busy cleaning up Saturday afternoon after digging up old bottles below the floor of the detached garage when he heard a loud crack outside.

“All of a sudden I heard a crack and I went outside of the garage and all the leaves were raining down. It was surreal,” he said. “ I went to go move the rental truck that was in the driveway, but it was just raining green all over. I ran back into the garage and just covered up inside. My heart was racing.”

When the noise ended, Mast looked back outside and saw that half of the large maple tree that used to stand on the city-owned terrace, just south of his home, had crashed down grazing a corner of the house and landing across his Dodge Ram rental pickup truck.

“I immediately called my wife and I told her was OK, but that I wanted to show her a photo of what had just happened and when she saw the photo of that big tree she freaked out,” Mast said.

Mast called Climbin’ Tough Tree Service to cut up and remove the tree.

Oregon Street Superintendent Terry Plemmons said he was notified at 3:30 p.m. that the tree had fallen.

“I think it’s a silver maple,” he said. “We called ComEd and because of the possible damage to the wires near the remaining part of the tree and they are planning on cutting that part down too.”

Mast is from Phoenix, Arizona and has been busy doing a complete renovation of the 1909 home which he plans on having done

by Thanksgiving. He said he was lucky the tree missed the garage.

“I was having fun finding old bottles from the 1930s and then the tree just fell,” he said.

Korean war veteran is walking the length of the trail to Moline

A brisk wind and chilly temperatures met Lyle Lidholm as he cleared “the cut” on Route 2 through Castle Rock State Park on Oct. 12.

The 87-year-old Korean War veteran decided a picnic table in the park’s south parking lot was a good place to rest, eat some jerky, and drink some water along his 320-mile trek to become the first person to hike the Rock River Trail.

Lidholm, a Moline native from Watertown, Wisconsin, began walking the trail Sept. 1 from Theresa, Wisconsin, near the Horicon Marsh.

The trail crosses through Wisconsin and Illinois, spanning 11 counties and 41 communities including Oregon, Dixon, Sterling and Rock Falls.

“When I read about this several years ago, I thought, ‘Wow, a trail, all the way to my hometown, Moline,’” Lidholm said. “I’m not getting any younger, so I figured September and October would be nice. I’m kind of calling it my going-home hike.”

He strolled into Sterling Monday evening.

“I thought, ‘Why don’t I make that one of my last hikes?’,” he said.

“Of course, everyone thought I was nuts.”

The Rock River Trail is relatively new, Lidholm said. After learning about people attempting to be the first to travel the trail in different modes of transportation in his local newspaper, he got the idea to be the first to walk the 320 mile trail.

And he’s doing it all without the help of GPS. The weather hasn’t deterred him, he said, although he did learn the hard way that his wet suit wasn’t so waterproof after all.

He has said he wanted to reach his destination by November, but he’s in no rush. He also expects to walk more than the 320 miles, thanks to detours he encountered along the way.

He walked off course in Rockford, for example, to get around flooding on the trail. What he thought was a trail took him to a cul-de-sac.

“The signage of this trail is practically nonexistent,” he said.

Lidholm began hiking in 1944 as

a Boy Scout. At 15, he and two of his friends decided they didn’t want to go to school, so they took off and hitchhiked to Waverly, Ohio.

“I left my mother a note saying don’t worry about me, I’m going to go find work,” Lidholm said.

The boys eventually were found by the local police, who called their parents.

He spent the next 3 years at military school, and 2 weeks after graduation, the Korean War broke out.

He served in the Marines from 1951 to 1959.

As he’s aged, his hikes have grown in distance. His first long-range trek was at 68.

Lidholm said he would like to do a coast-to-coast trek across England “as long as my legs will carry me.”

There aren’t many places he wouldn’t go, he said, except maybe India or Pakistan.

But he knows where he’s headed for now, and his plans after he reaches his destination are far less complicated.

“I’m going to go back home, drink some beer and enjoy what’s left of Lyle Lidholm walks into a parking lot at Castle Rock State Park. Photo by Earleen Hinton the fall,” he said.

It’s not his first or longest long-distance hike; he tackled more than 800 miles of the Appalachian Trail nearly 2 decades ago and journeyed the 1,200-mile Ice Age National Scenic Trail about 10 years ago.

Lidholm, a retired chef, builder and craftsman, helped dismantle historic structures around Wisconsin in the 1970s to be rebuilt at Old World Wisconsin.

About the Trail The Rock River Trail Initiative Call 815-284-5700 established a 320-Mile Award to Today to Schedule encourage exploration along the trail, given to those who reach the Your Mammo. goal of doing the whole Rock River Trail, whether it’s hiking, biking, paddling or driving.

The miles can be accumulated over any period of time, and can be broken up in any segments. Participants keep their own records and self-report their accomplishment to receive their award patch.

The trail begins near Horicon, Wisconsin, and ends where the Rock River flows into the Mississippi River in the Quad Cities.

It offers 11 different types of trail including a history trail, birding trail and a new craft brewery and wine trail.

Larry Boes chosen as replacement for Kim Gouker’s board seat

BY LINDSEY SALVATELLI lsalvatelli@saukvalley.com The Ogle County Board approved a zone change for a truck stop, gas station that will stand on the corner of Interstate 39 and Route 72.

Love’s Travel Stops & Country Stores, Inc., purchased the southeast corner of the intersection in Monroe Township with the intent of

constructing a service station with a convenience store, fast food restaurant and a tire service shop.

The board unanimously approved the zone change request during its Oct. 15 meeting at Focus House, nortth of Rochelle.

Board member Thomas Smith said he welcomed the business. He said Love’s representative Chad Bruner provided presentations that were “unbelievable.”

Smith said there were some complaints about the business causing an increase in traffic, but he doesn’t think it would make a different from the typical traffic disturbances that occurs along the route because it’s “there now.”

“When 39 gets blocked, they get off 72 and they take all those trucks and they bring them over to 251. They bring them down and they bring them back. The traffic is there when it happens,” he said.

Locals have another route they take when traffic is rerouted through the area, he said.

Zoning administrator Harry Adams Jr. said it was zoned as a special use because the land was zoned for agriculture purposes. The new zoning approved by the Board, the B-3 Restricted Interstate Highway Area Business District, is a restrictive zoning that requires a special use to allow select businesses, like truck stops and restaurants, within

the area.

In other action, Larry Boes of Byron was sworn in as the District 6 Board representative to replace the vacancy created by the death of Kim Gouker.

Gouker, 66, of Byron, died at home on Sept. 10 after a short illness.

Gouker was elected to his first term on the county board in 1996 and had served as board chairman since December of 2012.

He was instrumental in the planning and building of the Ogle County Judicial Center, the restoration of the historic Ogle County Courthouse, and the planning and building of the new Ogle County Jail that is currently under construction.

Le-Win dominates Forreston in 1A matchup Panthers win 46-14 ending Forreston’s 16-game win streak

BY ANDY COLBERT acolbert@oglecountynews.com In a matchup between the two top ranked teams in 1A, it was LenaWinslow completely dominating Forreston on Oct. 11 and ending its 16-game winning streak.

Racing to a 38-0 halftime lead, the Panthers put an exclamation point on the highly-touted matchup with a running clock early in the fourth quarter on its way to a 46-14 win.

“I told our kids this was a measuring stick,” Forreston coach Kyle Zick said. “Obviously, we didn’t pass it and something has to change.

We started to get exposed last week against West Carroll.”

Using a 4-man defensive front to start the game and Derek DeVries leading the charge, Forreston put Le-Win into a fourth-and-6 on the opening drive, but sophomore quarterback Luke Benson found Marey Robey over the middle with a 45-yard touchdown pass.

Forreston fumbled the ball away its second play from scrimmage, but forced Le-Win to a 3-and out.

The Cardinal’s second drive didn’t go much better with two yards gained before punting.

Le-Win’s next scoring drive came also after Forreston forced another fourth down. Benson scrambled for the first down and five plays later found the end zone for a 16-0 lead.

“We weren’t playing smart football and sticking to our rules,” Zick said. “We didn’t follow assignments.

Th good thing is that can be fixed.”

Hoping to cut into that lead, Forreston put an impressive 16-play drive together. Braden Politsch gained six yards and Jordan Neuschwander got outside for eight to get things started. A 15-yard unsportsmanlike on L-W moved the ball past midfield.

The key play was a 13-yard reception, the only double-digit gain in the first half, from Bailey Cullor to Jakob Boomgarden on fourth down. Cullor later converted another fourth down on a short run and Forreston had first-and-goal.

Unfortunately, the drive stalled at the 3-yard line. Two plays later,

Forreston’s Cayden Shelton (23) gets upended by a Lena-Winslow defender during Oct. 11 action. Photo by Earleen Hinton Ronnell Valentine raced 96 yards for a score and the rout was on.

“That’s a great Le-Win team,” Zick said. “You make mistakes and they will expose it.”

On their way to 231 first-half rushing yards, it was Marey Robey tacking on a 24-yard touchdown and Sean Ormiston bouncing off a pack of would-be tacklers for a 6-yarder for the 38-0 lead.

“About the middle of the first quarter, we solved the 4-man front,” Le-Win coach Ric Arand said. “It was obvious they were trying to stop Ormiston.”

With a pair of 270-pound Iowa recruits in senior Isaiah Bruce and junior Gennings Dunker anchoring the Panther line, the normally potent Forreston ground game was held to 57 yards in the first half.

The athleticism of those two D-I players was best exemplified in a

sandwich sack of Cullor late on the second quarter. Besides Bruce and Gennings crashing in on the play, it was Ormiston right on their tail to clean up. Cullor didn’t have a chance and neither did Forreston.

“I thought our defense played lights out,” Arand said. “The main focus was to stop the fullback. We gave up a little on the perimeter, but not much. Our outside linebackers and corners did a good job stringing it out and we flowed well to the ball as a team.”

Dom Christensen, the star of Forreston’s playoff semifinal upset of Le-Win last year, had a 4-yard TD to give the large home crowd something to cheer about in the third quarter.

Le-Win fumbled the ensuing kickoff, but Forreston could only advance the ball to the 25-yard line before turning it over on downs.

Cullor added another score,with Politsch going in for the PAT. Cayden Shelton led the Cardinals with 47 yards rushing on nine carries. Politsch had 44 on 15 rushes and Christensen 21 on nine carries.

With running back/linebacker Ethan Mulder out with and injury, it was Politsch getting the bulk of calls at fullback. The Cardinals were also hurt in the line with Jordan Beck out.

“Our whole ability to be successful with no huddle it to wear them down,” Zick said. “That didn’t happen tonight. We had a lot of missed opportunities.”

Forreston finished with 196 yards and 56 carries. L-W had 343 on 41 totes, with Valentine and Ormiston both going over 100 yards.

The Cardinals face their second undefeated team in a row when they travel to Freeport Aquin.

SPORTS COLUMN

Le-Win defense played “lights out” against Cards I COMMENTARY Andy Colbert

•••

For the post season, the Oregon soccer team travels to a place you can’t get to from here – Johnsburg.

Technically, you can eventually find it, but it is very inconvenient.

The reason Oregon is headed to the hinterlands is because of the IHSA seeding formula. Richmond-Burton, which is just up the road from Johnsburg, is No. 1 sub-sectional seed and Oregon No. 2.

R-B goes to Rockford Christian instead because host RC is seed No. 4. Yes, these seeds can create more travel, but it avoids having a bunch of top teams in the same regional.

If RC wasn’t a host, Oregon would not have to go to Johnsburg. At least the reward of winning this regional is coming home to the Oregon sectional.

The Hawks’ main competition will be No. 3 seed Woodstock Marian (8-13 overall, 1-8 in conference). That record is deceiving because of the many larger suburban schools they play.

One of my favorite sporting events of the year is the Amboy Columbus Day cross country meet, with some of the best teams in 1A and buses lined along highway 52 as far as the eye can see.

Here is an observation some may call sexist, but many others have made same comment. It is this – many a girl cross country runner peaks as a freshman or sophomore and then regresses because of weight gain and structure.

When it comes to one’s body, it is a lot tougher being a female than a male.

•••

After cross country, it was off to Silver Ridge for the Oregon golf sectional where another observation is made – 1A private schools have an advantage over public schools

because those girls have a more privileged lifestyle and afforded better opportunities to succeed on the golf course.

At the 2A level, affluent suburban public schools have the same advantage as the privates, as evidenced by scores like a 298 by Lincolnshire Stevenson. That’s four girls averaging a shade under 75 each.

f there was one play that best described Lena-Winslow’s drubbing of Forreston in football on Oct. 11, it was Bailey Cullor running for his life with Gennings Dunker, Isaiah Bruce, and Sean Ormiston in hot pursuit late in the first half.

Cullor is an excellent quarterback, but did not have a chance against three of the absolute best players in 1A, as he was sacked for a loss.

As Le-Win coach Ric Arends said, his defense played “lights out”.

Without needing a fourth down conversion or penalty, the Cardinals could only muster two solid first downs in the first half.

The longest run from scrimmage was eight yards, as they fell behind 38-0.

The no-huddle offense was efficiently run, but there was nowhere for it to go.

Bottom line - Forreston did not have the size and physicality to come close to matching up with the Panthers.

Derek DeVries did all he could, raising havoc early with the L-W running game.

Eventually, Le-Win figured out Forreston defense and used the combo of physicality and big-play ability to put the hammer down.

Besides a strong running game, Le-Win proved adept at passing, completing 3-of-4 passes for 81 yards, including a touchdown on fourthand-6 to start the scoring.

Even though the 1A north quadrant will be extremely tough, this is going to be a team very difficult to knock off.

Does Morrison have a chance?

They are very fast, but Forreston has some speed too.

Besides, I truly doubt if anyone in 1A comes anywhere close to the physical presence of Le-Win.

The grounds of the Boone County Museum of History are now graced by an iconic monument to Belvidere’s, and in fact all, First Responders.

Elected officials from Boone County, City of Belvidere, law enforcement leaders from Boone County and City of Belvidere, and firefighters displaying a wealth of equipment were all on hand to commemorate the dedication.

The larger-than-life bronze monument portrays a law enforcement officer, a blanket-wrapped rescued child, and a firefighter.

Created and executed by sculptor Jeff Adams of Oregon/Mt. Morris and sponsored by Jack and Peggy Wolf Family Foundation, the monument will be an inspiration for generations to come.

Adams is currently creating three more sculptures at his InBronze studio in Mt. Morris for the Illi-

Phyllis Jean Conroy, 95, of Oregon, passed away on Oct. 9, 2019 in her home surrounded by her loving family.

She was born Aug. 14, 1924 in Sterling, to Samuel Percy Stump and Almeda Mae, nee Zook, Stump.

The family moved from Illinois to Fort Dodge, Iowa where Phyllis spent her youth. Reciting poetry in the parlor of their home was a favorite evening family pastime.

As a child, Phyllis loved reading books, singing harmony to church hymns, and playing the violin in an orchestra.

Some of her fondest childhood memories were the carefree, summer days spent at her grandparents’ farm located at Franklin Corners near Morrison.

A special memory was playing with the children of the Mount Carmel Orphanage founded by her grandparents, Abraham and Rosanna Zook.

Located on the family farm, the orphanage’s mission was to care for orphaned children, many from the inner city of Chicago.

In the fresh country air, they would do chores, go to school, and learn the Christian faith. One of the orphan girls became a lifelong friend of Phyllis.

The family eventually returned to Illinois where Phyllis graduated from Polo

High School as the class Valedictorian.

She attended and graduated from North Central College with a bachelor’s degree in education followed by graduate studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign.

Heeding the call for teachers needed in the young state of Washington, Phyllis and other teacher friends boarded a train for the Northwest. In the lumbering town of Buckley at the foot of Mount Rainier, Phyllis taught British literature, speech, and directed plays at the local high school.

Returning to Illinois, Phyllis continued her teaching career at Reavis High School in Burbank/Oak Lawn and Stockton High School.

While in Stockton, she met the love of her life, husband John Conroy, who at the time was the U.S. Soil & Water Conservationist for Jo Daviess County.

Since both of their families resided in Dixon, they commuted back and forth on weekends together from Stockton to Dixon. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Phyllis and John were married at St. Patrick’s Church in Dixon on June 14, 1952. The young couple settled in Ore-

Universal Telephone Assistance Programs Administered in Illinois by the Universal Telephone Assistance Corporation (UTAC) Life Line Program Making local phone service affordable Lifeline is a program which provides $9.25 in assistance to help pay monthly charge from local telephone service. This federally funded program is available to qualified low-income consumers. If the qualifying low-income consumer voluntarily elects toll blocking while initiating Lifeline service, a service deposit is not required. If toll blocking is unavailable, the carrier may charge a service deposit. Toll blocking will prevent the connection of outgoing toll calls from a residence.

Who is eligible for these programs?

You are eligible if you are a recipient of one of the following programs: Medicaid SNAP (food stamps) Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Federal Public Housing Assistance Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefi Customer households income is at or below 135% of the National Poverty Guidelines, for household of that size Where can I apply for the LifeLine and/or LinkUp programs?

For additional information or enrollment in these programs, contact the Leaf River Telephone Company. Link-up and Lifeline are federally funded programs. The Illinois Commerce Commission cannot guarantee that all Eligible Telecommunications Carriers will receive funding to support these programs. Reimbursement for these programs depends on the FCC?s Fund Administrator?s management and distribution of the funds collected through universal service mechanisms.

The Universal Telephone Service Assistance Program (UTSAP) The Universal Telephone Service Assistance Program (UTSAP) is funded by voluntary contributions from Illinois ratepayers. Consumers wishing to participate in the funding of UTSAP may do so by electing to contribute, on a monthly basis, a fixed amount to be included by the Leaf River Telephone Company on their monthly telephone bill.

Customers may designate an amount to be included each month from these choices Residential customers Business customers $ .50 $ 1.00 $1.00 $10.00 or $2.00 or $25.00 $5.00 Customers may also elect to make a onetime contribution to the UTSAP Administrator. It is the responsibility of the local exchange company to solicit, collect and remit the contributions on behalf of the customers to the UTSAP Administrator. The address of the UTSAP Administrator is: Post Office Box 1176, Springfield, Illinois 62705-1176.

The voluntary contributions assist qualified low-income customers by providing additional assistance to the Universal Telephone Assistance programs. Those who wish to apply for assistance or make a contribution to UTSAP may contact their local telephone company. Each year the Commission determines the amount of UTSAP assistance, most recently in Docket 07-0399.
