Former Polo resident brings her students out to the country

BY GAVIN T. JENSEN gjensen@saukvalley.com A Chicago teacher with Polo roots gave about two dozen fifth graders their first experience with agriculture Oct. 25.

Cows, tractors, grain bins and hay bale rides – it was all part of a cattle farm tour for 26 students from Hayt Elementary School in Edgewater Glen that 29-year-old teacher Maureen O’Malley designed to broaden their horizons.

“The majority of them have never been outside of the city before since moving here, let alone been on a school bus,” she said, adding that many of the students are refugees, immigrants or first-generation citizens.

The students come from all over, including Malaysia, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Bosnia, Italy, Nigeria, Somalia, Camaroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bangladesh, Mexico and Mirimar, and as a diversity project, they became pen pals with a Polo fifth grade class.

O’Malley was born in Chicago and lived in Polo for about a decade until she was a high school sophomore and said it was a bit of a culture shock.

“It’s something as simple as only being able to play outside on the front porch to running around and playing on hay bales was a big change,” O’Malley said.

She wanted her students to experience the same thing and reached out to Julie Sanders, a fifth grade teacher at Centennial Elementary School in Polo.

The two classes wrote their first letters in September and exchanged the second round Thursday.

“This was a wonderful opportunity for her kids to see a farm and to meet their pen pals, but it is equally as beneficial for my students that have not grown up around much diversity,” Sanders said.

“They are in awe that other kids from Pakistan like Netflix and Fortnite as much as they do.”

The cattle farm is owned by Phil and Deb Ohlwine, friends of O’Malley who visited her class for career day in June and talked about life on the farm.

The students also learned about jobs involved in bringing food from the farm to the family dinner table, how soy beans are harvested and what type of technologies farms use in everyday sit-

uations.

“Learning about the different jobs was my favorite part,” said Ashraf Osman, a 10-year-old boy from Malaysia, who was one of three students who had been on a farm before.

Seeing the cows up close was what he said he will remember the most.

It was a success for O’Malley, who was also making good on a promise made to her mom, Ann, who died from a brain tumor in February.

“My mom really wanted to get the kids out to the farm and show them what it’s like out here,” she said. “She would have loved to see this become a reality.”

ELECTION 2018

Decades-old law means top vote getters may not be elected

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com

tion is for the top vote getters to get on the board,” Rademacher said.

Currently voters across the district vote for all candidates, and in several instances the top vote getters had carried all nine townships, but still were not elected.

“Losing representation is one of the arguments against the at-large election, but everyone votes for all candidates,” Rademacher said. “This is not fair to the voters — they aren’t getting the board members they voted for. We would be better served if the people who have run and want to be on the board get elected.”

Another complicating factor in the current system, Rademacher said, is that congressional township boundaries are not always the same as the geographical townships.

In this case, congressional Buffalo Township includes the northern third of geographical Woosung Township.

An at-large election will remove that source of confusion, he said.

This is the third time the school board has placed this referendum on the ballot. It was defeated in 2007 and again in 2016.

In 2007, the measure had to pass in every township, and it was defeated by voters in Brookville, Eagle Point, Lincoln, Pine Creek, and Woosung Townships for a total of 243 noes to 209 yeses overall.

Voters in Buffalo, Jordan (White-

side County), and Palmyra (Lee County) approved the measure, and no one cast a vote on it in Grand Detour Township.

By 2016, state laws had changed to require that to pass, it needed a two-thirds, or 66.7 percent, majority overall.

That time the referendum was approved 1149 to 704, but still failed because it is was only a 62 percent majority.

A majority of voters in Eagle Point, Grand Detour, Pine Creek and Palmyra Townships said no two years ago, while Jordan Township voters were evenly split.

Rademacher said he is somewhat baffled by the opposition because, for the most part, it is coming from townships that no candidates have come from in the last three elections.

“These townships voted no, but they have no candidates,” he said. “I have no problem with them voting no, but then they need to run for the board.”

School board elections are held every two years in April, with four terms expiring at one election and three at the next. Terms are four years in length.

The next school board election is April 2, 2019.

The Forrestville Valley and Oregon School Districts also have the same residency limitation for board members.

Only three contested local races on Nov. 6 ballot

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com Candidates will face competition in only three local races in the Nov. 6 General Election.

Voters in three of the eight Ogle County Board districts will get to choose from three candidates running for two four-year terms on the board.

In District 2, which includes Oregon-Nashua, White Rock, Pine Rock, and Lafayette Townships, Democrat Jerry Shirar, of Oregon, a newcomer, is challenging Republican incumbents Pat Nordman and Wayne Reising, both of Oregon.

In District 7, which includes Mt. Morris, Maryland, and Forreston Townships, three newcomers are competing, Independent Chris Kolling, of Mt. Morris, and Republicans Dean Fox, of German Valley, and Stan Asp, of Mt. Morris.

In District 3, which includes Flagg Township Precincts 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7,

Republican incumbent Greg Sparrow and two newcomers Lloyd Droege, a Democrat, and Jamey Sulser, a Republican, are the candidates. All three are from Rochelle.

Each of the other five districts has two Republican candidates running unopposed for two seats.

In District 1, which includes Dement, Lynnville, Monroe, and Scott Townships, incumbent Rick Fritz, of Monroe Center, and newcomer Benjamin Pihl Youman, of Davis Junction, are running.

In District 4, which includes Flagg Township Precincts 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, and 11, incumbents John (Skip) Kenney and Bruce W. McKinney are on the ballot.

In District 5, which includes Marion, Rockvale, and Leaf River Townships, incumbents Martin Typer and Richard Daniel Janes, both of Stillman Valley, are running.

In District 6, which includes Byron

Township, incumbent Dorothy R. Bowers and newcomer Todd M. McLester, both of Byron, are running.

In District 8, which includes Brookville, Lincoln, Eagle Point, Buffalo, Pine Creek, Woosung, Grand Detour, and Taylor Townships, incumbent Lyle Hopkins, of Polo, and newcomer Susie Corbitt, also of Polo, are the candidates.

Also running unopposed are Brian VanVickle for a second term as Ogle County Sheriff, Laura Cook for a second term as county clerk, Linda Beck for her first term as county treasurer, and Robert Sondergroth for a third term as regional superintendent of schools for Lee, Ogle, and Whiteside Counties.

Voters will also be asked whether or not they wish to retain three judges — Second Appellate Court Judge Robert D. McLaren in the Second Judicial District, and 15th Judicial Circuit Court Judges Robert T. Hanson and

Michael P. Bald.

Two referendums will also be on the ballot.

In the Polo School District, voters will be asked in they want to elect school board members at large. Currently only three board members can come from the same congressional township within the district.

The measure failed in 2007 and 2016.

Voters in the New Milford Fire Protection District will decide if they are willing to increase the property tax rate.

Other races on the Nov. 6 ballot are Illinois Governor and Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Comptroller, Treasurer, State Senator, and State Representative, as well as U.S. Congressman.

The polls are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day. Candidate profiles for Ogle County Board Districts 2 and 7 appear on page 22.

• Friday, November 2, 2018

Polo school officials are hoping voters will overturn a decades-old election law when they go to the polls Nov. 6.

A referendum on the ballot will ask district residents to vote whether or not school board members should be elected at large, rather than restricted by where they live.

Currently, under a law that dates back to at least the 1950s, no more than three of the seven board members can reside in the same congressional township.

Although the law was designed to ensure equal representation among more and less populous townships, the effect in the recent past has actually thwarted the democratic process.

“The top vote getters don’t always get elected,” said Superintendent Chris Rademacher.

In 2015, for example, four candidates were running for four open four-year terms on the board, making it appear that all four would be shoo-ins.

However, the candidate with the second high total was defeated because he lived in Buffalo Township, and there were already three board Chris Rademacher members from there.

To further complicate that election, five candidates were also running for two unexpired two-year terms on the board, and state law requires that two-year terms are seated before four-year terms.

Consequently, candidates with lower totals were seated on the board because they lived in a township other than Buffalo — Woosung or Lincoln in this case.

Although more than enough candidates had run for the board, only four could be seated because of the residency requirement.

“In 2015 we had nine candidates [for six seats] but had to appoint two,” Rademacher said. “Since 2007, eight board members have had to be appointed.”

Eliminating the residency requirement would solve the problem.

HISTORIC RESTORATION

1861 summer kitchen gets new home in Oregon

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com The relief was obvious early Tuesday afternoon when, after months of planning and days of preparation, a historic brick building safely arrived by flatbed at its new location in Oregon.

The small crowd of people waiting at Phelps Park behind the Coliseum burst into cheers as the truck carrying the brick summer kitchen, built by Oregon founder John Phelps back in 1861, rounded the corner from Ill. 64 onto Fifth Street.

Moving the structure was a community project spearheaded by Oregon Together with help from the Ogle County Historical Society.

“I’m still nervous. I’ll believe it when it’s sitting here,” said Oregon Together member Roger Cain as the crew from Heritage Movers, of Mt. Hope, Wisconsin, jumped out of their trucks and started the lengthy process of getting the building onto its new concrete footing.

Earlier in the day he had voiced concerns over the fragile bricks successfully making the trip from Robert and Esther Mongan’s farm approximately four miles away.

Historical society member Otto Dick had a practical concern. “I just hope it fits my footing,” he said with a grin, referring to the concrete at the new location.

However, Rus Childs, one of the owners of Heritage Movers, said the preparation and move had gone according to plan.

“It all went smoothly,” he said. “It

An Ogle County deputy stops traffic Tuesday as the flatbed carrying the Phelps summer kitchen moves out of Bob and Esther Mongan’s driveway and onto Ill. 64. Photo by Vinde Wells was mostly making sure it would stay together. The bricks are deteriorating.

It took a lot of banding - we do extra banding. We’ve moved a lot of brick houses.”

The project started almost two years ago when Robert Mongan, who lives on the farm homesteaded by Phelps on Ill. 64 between Oregon and Mt. Morris, contacted Dick to see if he wanted to take a photo of the summer kitchen before he tore it down to make way for an addition to his house.

After further discussion, the Mongans readily agreed to donate the building.

Dick enlisted the help of Cain and

the Oregon Together Arts & Beautification Committee, which began raising funds for the move and restoration at the new site.

Childs and his crew, who are all family members, spent the last several days readying the small brick structure for the move, reinforcing it inside and out with steel I-beams, bracing, and banding.

They worked late Monday evening, cutting it loose from its foundation and raising it a few inches.

The heavy-duty banding ran from the I-beams on the outside underneath the bricks, every few inches, and were secured to the I-beams on the inside.

The crew started early Tuesday morning slowly and painstakingly raising the building with hydraulic jacks placed on the four corners.

Shortly before noon it was high enough for the flatbed to be backed underneath, and then the building was gently lowered and secured for the trip to Oregon.

It pulled out of Mongan’s driveway at 12:15 p.m. and nearly an hour later was at its destination.

Cain said an estimated $20,000, most of which has been raised, will be needed for the $12,000 move and subsequent restoration.

Also as part of National Hospice Month, Serenity will be participating in National Child Grief Awareness.

“People often don’t realize that children grieve,” said Cathy Warren Bereavement Coordinator for Serenity.

“Their grief is different but should be worked through just as an adult. A child also needs to find their new normal without a loved one.”

Serenity invites anyone to drop by The Shed, 131 N. Third St., Oregon, with a child who has experienced the death of a loved one.

Even if it is the child’s friend’s mom or someone you consider somewhat distanced from the child, he or she will still have questions.

The Shed will be offering simple activities to help the child work through their grief. Stop by anytime Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or to make an appointment by phone, call 815-732-2499 and ask for Cathy Warren.

Serenity would like for people to understand that hospice is not a place but is high-quality care that enables patients and families to focus on living as fully as possible despite a life-limiting

illness.

Serenity Hospice serves nine counties in northern Illinois and most of their patients are being served in their own homes or nursing care facilities.

When the circumstances warrant it, patients also have the option of being served in Serenity Home, which has eight rooms all with family accommodations.

It is essential that people understand that hospice and palliative care is not giving up, it is not the abandonment of care, it is not reserved for the imminently dying.

Hospice is a successful model of person-centered care that brings hope, dignity and compassion when they are most needed.

Serenity’s hospice and palliative care programs provide pain management, symptom control, psychosocial support, and spiritual care to patients and their family caregivers when a cure is not possible. Serenity offers an extensive bereavement program.

The mission of Serenity could not be accomplished without the support and loyalty of their volunteers.

For more information about volunteering at Serenity, call Johnson at 815732-2499.

More information about hospice, palliative care, and advance care planning is available from www.serenityhospiceandhome.org or from NHPCO’s CaringInfo.org.

EDUCATION

Hockison receives Excellence in Education grant Teacher gets $533 to provide art therapy for at-risk students June Hockison, a teacher at the Chana Education Center, was recently awarded a grant for $533.34 from the Excellence in Education Grants for Teachers Program.

The Illinois Retired Teachers Association Foundation awarded nearly $36,500 in grant money throughout the program to several public school educators statewide.

Hockison requested the award for provides art therapy to students attending an alternative high school that serves students who have adverse childhood experiences, resulting in behavioral issues.

Students are given the oppor-

tunity to express themselves through various artistic mediums, including sculpting, drawing, painting, string art, origami, and even scrapbooking.

The IRTAF designed this program based on the idea that educators often do not have additional revenue sources available for unique student projects or classroom materials.

Applicants were required to meet the proper criteria and to submit their proposals by early June.

The IRTAF Board of Directors selected the grant recipients and awards are being presented now.

The Illinois Principals Association played a vital role in assisting IRTAF with the promotion of this program.

The IRTAF is affiliated with the Illinois Retired Teachers Association, a lobbying group for retired educators, with a current membership of more than 38,000.

IRTAF member Fred Kunz presents Chana Education Center teacher June Hockison with a check for $533. also pictured are school prinicipal Terry Camplain and IRTAF member Jean Whipple.

YOUR ENVIRONMENT

Reduce waste by recycling or repurposing items It is so easy. Just throw it in with the trash, or just put it out at the curb.

Like most things, if it is out of sight, then it is out of mind.

The Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department would like to remind Ogle County residents about overall waste reduction.

With two active landfills in Ogle County, and another landfill at the border, keep in mind that final disposal for all sorts of waste is not all that far away.

While landfilling is an option for some materials that have met their serviceable end, residents should always think about the materials they purchase, and what they are going to do with them when they do not have a use for them anymore.

If it goes to the landfill, there it stays, buried, for many, many years.

Many items can be used beyond their original intent, or maybe recycled and turned into a new product.

The OCSWMD encourages waste reduction and re-use of materials

whenever possible, and offers several means to achieve that end.

Things to consider include smart shopping, meaning only what is needed for a meal or home project is purchased, and looking around the home first to determine the amount actually needed.

Preserve and use all leftovers from meals. Use reusable shopping bags, so as to avoid disposable plastic bags.

Use reusable containers, water bottles, and coffee mugs when pack-

SECTIONAL VOLLEYBALL

Forreston battled, but fell to Pirates in two games

BY ANDY COLBERT acolbert@oglecountynews.com

ABOVE: Forreston’s Katie Erdmann (13) spikes as Galena’s Mackenzie Muehlep (22) and Drew Wasson (20) try and block during Monday night action at the Port Byron (Riverdale) Sectional. BELOW: Forreston’s Grace Carr (15) blocks. Photos by Earleen Hinton a Pirate return error gave Forreston its biggest lead of the game at 20-18, forcing Wills to call a timeout to settle his team down.

“I saw some nerves from my girls,” he said.

Sami Wasmund and Morgan Wills, the coach’s niece, came up with kills to help their team take the lead back at 22-21. Taylor Greenfield then tied it at 22-apiece with Erdmann getting ready to make a return to the front line.

A Wills kill and tremendous Pirate defensive effort on two kill attempts by Erdmann gave Galena a 24-22 lead.

“We wanted to cheat the middle to (Erdmann’s) side,” Wills said.

Wills and his players knew where the ball was going and were defenseless in stopping Erdmann from making three straight kills, the latter a nifty tip to give Forreston match point at 25-24.

Galena caught a break when the potential winning serve went out of bounds. But, it was Erdmann slamming down another point for 26-25 match point.

See SECTIONAL, Page 21

The Forreston volleyball team put itself in position to win its 2A sectional semifinal against a standout Galena team, undefeated in NUIC play since 2016.

The Cardinals led 13-7 in the second contest and had match point three times in game one.

Both times, though, the Pirates survived and advanced to the sectional final with a 29-27, 25-21 win.

Still, it was an evenly matched battle that could have gone either way.

“I knew going in that it was going to be tough,” Forreston coach Shannon Williams said. “Even though we were up at times and in position to win, we just didn’t have the energy and excitement we had from last Thursday.”

For the large crowd at Port Byron Riverdale, including fans from Orion and Lena-Winslow waiting for the nightcap, it was a nail biter between Forreston and Galena from the opening serve when Forreston got an ace and the Pirates came right back with a block of a Katie Erdmann kill attempt.

Galena took the early advantage 13-6, with the most impressive rally point coming after two great digs and a block to go up 9-6.

“We knew they’d be hitting on the strong side and planned our defense accordingly,” Wills said. “We just wanted to live to play another play.”

With Alexus Houston serving, the Cardinals finally got back into the game. In five straight points, it was return error and out-of-bounds by Galena, a pair of kills by Erdmann and service ace.

“They kept us out of our system,” Galena coach Dennis Wills said.

Forreston finally got a lead at 17-16 on another Erdmann kill.

Grace Carr, who had a critical kill earlier in Galena rally, kept service for four points, including an ace in that stretch.

“I’m proud of how the girls kept their composure and worked their way back into the game. They didn’t give up which I was extremely proud of them for,” Williams said.

From that part of the game on, neither team was able to take more than a 2-point lead.

Houston laid a kill just inside the line for a 19-18 Cardinal line. Then,

Cards crush Hiawatha in first round of playoffs Forreston racks up 390 offensive yards in first half

BY ANDY COLBERT acolbert@oglecountynews.com At halftime of the Forreston and Kirkland-Hiawatha 1A playoff game Oct. 27, Hawk coach Jason Keneway had the look of bewilderment.

On the first play from scrimmage, top rusher Kyle Thompson was injured. Just before halftime, quarterback Ty Kilcullen was also lost for the rest of the game with another injury.

To compound matters, Hiawatha trailed 48-0 to a Forreston team that piled up 390 yards rushing in the first 24 minutes, averaging 13 yards a carry.

“I’ve got to get new guys lined up and organized,” said Keneway, who only had 21 able bodies to begin with. “I’ve never had so many injuries. It makes it even harder going up against a team as good as Forreston.”

Hiawatha (6-4) also lost a pair of 2-way starters three weeks ago from broken elbows. Fortunately, they had foreign-exchange students from Thailand, Switzerland and Germany on the field playing.

“From the first play on, we had to bring in second string players,” Keneway said.

It took Forreston only four plays to go 58 yards, with Austin Mitchell starting the scoring parade. While Hiawatha struggled to find any sort of back-up to Thompson, the Cardinals had the luxury of rotating six backs in and out.

“What most impressed us was their speed. We’ve never seen anything like it,” Keneway said.

Kilcullen did lead Hiawatha to the Cardinal 6-yard line with the key play being a 21-yard pass to sophomore Austin Brantley. Kilcullen did complete 9-of-18 passes for 112 yards, with two interceptions.

After Forreston’s defense held, they would score 10 plays later, making it 16-0 on a 3-yard Ethan Mulder touchdown.

“We have a couple things on defense we need to work on, but I was happy with our offense and defense,” Forreston coach Kyle Zick said.

Forreston made it 24-0 early in the second quarter on quarterback Bailey Cullor’s 2-yard run, but Hiawatha would have one more

Sophomore Matthew Korb, who later would replace Kilcullen at QB, caught a 10-yard pass for a first down. Philipp Timmerman caught another 10-yarder and the Hawks had two first downs in a row.

On the next play, Hunter Rogers grabbed an interception off a Dom Christensen tip to set up his own 34-yard rushing touchdown.

Evan Kelsey ensured the running clock would be in effect the second half with a 61-yard touchdown with 5:35 left in the second quarter.

Kilgullen would make one more completion before being intercepted by Mulder, with Derreck Vince applying the pressure.

Rogers added another first-half touchdown for the 48-0 advantage, making it five different TD scorers for Forreston.

“Our big guys (Mitchell Heinz, Derek DeVries, Kilar Huenefeld, Sawyer Wild, Jacob Dye) are starting to come together,” said Zick if his offensive line. “They came focused and executed.”

Kelsey had 118 yards on 7 carries to lead the Cardinals. Rogers and Christensen both got six totes for 79 and 77 yards. On defense, Mulder,

Vince and Garett Badertscher tied for honors with six tackles.

One negative for Forreston were 10 penalties for 80 yards. This after one of its best seasons in recent memory for relatively penalty-free games.

“We’ve been harping on that all

year,” Zick said.

Forreston (8-2) travels to Milledgeville (10-0) for a first-ever playoff match-up between the two teams.

Under Keneway, the Hiawatha program made it three winning seasons in a row, finishing the year at 6-4.

Polo was able to get on scoreboard early in the fourth quarter on a fourth-down, 21-yard TD pass from Soltow to Ethan Phillips.

Soltow provided the bulk of the Polo offense as he scrambled for 93 yards on 14 carries, and he threw for another 78 yards.

A few key errors hurt the Marcos.

With Polo trailing 7-0, Soltow got loose for a 16-yard run to give his team a first down at the 8:47 mark of the second quarter. He was slightly

injured on the play, however, and had to come out of the game.

His replacement, Tucker Mumford, took over at QB and promptly had a pass picked off by the Princes’ Cody Thole. It set up Snedden’s second score.

Late in the first half, Polo’s Draven Wells intercepted a pass and returned it about 30 yards to the Princeville 20. In his excitement, however, he spiked the ball after the play, costing the Marcos 15 yards.

Polo gave a royal effort in its last 11-man football game for the foreseeable future, but it wasn’t enough against a stout group of Princes.

Princeville rode a relentless ground attack to churn out chunks of yardage all night on its way to a 35-7 win against the Marcos in a Class 1A first-round playoff game on Friday night at Tom Bruna Field.

Leading the way for the Princes (10-0) was senior tailback Adam Snedden, a returning all-stater who rushed 20 times for 177 yards, including touchdown runs of 7, 13, 38 and 7 yards. Backfield mate Jack Arnett added 144 yards on 25 carries and one score, and Princeville finished with 356 rushing yards on 58 attempts.

“A lot of the credit goes to our offensive line,” Snedden said. “We find the holes, execute, and sometimes we get by people. The rest is history.”

Merely getting a shot at a team like Princeville was the main focus for Polo (5-5), which will field an 8-man football team beginning next season. Earning a playoff berth was the big goal for the Marcos, and they accomplished that goal.

“We’ve been working our [butts] off since freshman year for this moment,” senior quarterback Braiden Soltow said. “To be the last

Cardinals roll past Lutheran with regional win

BY ANDY COLBERT acolbert@oglecountynews.com For the first time since 2011, the Forreston volleyball has claimed a regional title.

The Cardinals dominated play from start to finish in a 25-20, 25-20 win over Rockford Lutheran on Oct. 25 “I’m so proud of the girls,” Forreston coach Shannon Williams. “They worked really hard.”

It was more than the Katie Erdmann show, too. In the second game, with Erdmann in the back row, Forreston went from a 16-14 deficit to 25-20 win.

“It was awesome to see. It was definitely a team effort,” Erdmann said.

Alexus Houston, who was brilliant in both contests, started the Cardinal rally with a score to cut Lutheran’s lead to 16-15. With Erdmann serving, the Crusaders either hit out of bounds or had return

errors.

That gave Forreston the lead for good at 18-16. Lutheran came back to tie things up, but Lauren Melton had perhaps the key point of the game with a kill after a lengthy rally.

A net violation by the youthful Lutheran squad gave the lead back to Forreston 20-19. Then it was a kill at center net by sophomore Taylor Greenfield, a kill by Houston, a return error by Lutheran and a block by Grace Carr for the 24th point.

With the Forreston faithful rising to their feet, it was the 5-foot-5 Houston putting the game away with a hard shot.

“Alexus makes great plays,” Williams said.

In the first game, she made a diving dig that bounced over the net for a score. It was her second dig that got past the Crusader defense in that contest.

“Her defense was huge,” Williams

said. “She picked up the ball and created offensive plays.”

Typical of the Cardinal offense was Houston getting the dig, Carr taking the second shot and feeding Erdmann for the monster kill.

Erdmann destroyed Lutheran in the first game with 11 kills on the way to a 19-11 lead.

“She puts the ball away,” Williams said. “When she can do that and we have a defense to go along with it, we’re fun to watch.”

Lutheran pulled to within 20-14 on a 4-1 run, but a much-needed kill by Melton gave the momentum back to the Cardinals. Houston made two straight kills for looked like a comfortable 23-14 lead.

But, the Crusaders came back again, pulling to within 23-18 before Williams called a timeout.

No worries, though, as Lutheran had a return error and Erdmann slammed down the final point for the first-game win.

“Our girls are used to the back and forth. They didn’t look nervous or afraid,” Williams said.

Forreston also took advantage of Lutheran stacking its defense to stop Erdmann.

“Their block shifted over, opening up the middle of the net,” Williams said.

An example of this was in the second game when Carr fed Greenfield at the center for a nifty tip score.

Right after that, Erdmann almost knocked over a Lutheran player with a ferocious kill.

“Our goal was to get it done in two games,” Erdmann said. “We went to three earlier at Lutheran.”

Erdmann finished with 17 kills, which was a third of the Cardinal points. Houston added 10 kills and 15 digs, while Carr proved 27 assists.

Lost a bit in all the attention focused on her older sister, freshman Kara Erdmann had 19 digs.

COMMENTARY Andy Colbert

geville proved to be unfounded. It made a little bit of sense until the Missiles exploded for 38 unanswered points after trailing 22-18.

The one consolation was accurately pegging Kirkland-Hiawatha as an unworthy opponent for Forreston.

The 48-0 score was one of many lopsided games that were over at half, including EPC 51-6, Le-Win 56-6, Sterling Newman 35-0 and Ottawa Marquette 34-0 – all halftime scores.

How one-sided was the Forreston-Kirkland game? As I walked both sidelines, I counted 20 cheerleaders for the Cardinals compared to only three for Kirkland.

What a difference in fan base, enthusiasm, roster depth and community involvement between the two sides.

Forreston is at such a higher level with its program, as had been the

case in recent years against playoff opponents like Luther North, Salt Fork, Hope Academy, Hebron, and North Shore.

Bring on more 8-man football teams as a way to level the playing field, as Hebron and North Shore went to. With the problem Kirkland was having filling guys in, they may want to consider it, along with other small schools that didn’t even make the playoffs.

On a Weird Note...

I was in Utah during the first week of their football playoffs and learned of a very weird procedure for breaking playoff tie breakers.

Normally, it is done by a mid-week play-in game, like the NCAA does for March Madness.

However, if three teams are tied, there is a coin flip. The two losers of the coin flip play the first half against each other.

The winner of the first half then plays the second half against the third team for the right to advance.

Another story of weird concerning

• SECTIONAL Continued from Page 17 A return error by the Cardinals forced a tie. For the third time, Forreston came up with match point following an awkward-looking Erdmann tip that caught Galena off guard. It was her fifth straight point.

“It seemed like things were happening and it was going to be our game, but sometimes is just isn’t your night,” Williams said.

That was Forreston’s last opportunity, as the Cardinals hit a return out of bounds and unsung sophomore Abby Soppe had two straight aces for the 29-27 win.

Soppe was of the girls brought in to replace senior Sophia Heisler, who broke her foot at the end of the regular season.

“Sometimes it just isn’t your night,” Williams said. “It was extremely disappointing, but you play best of three for a reason. You have to be resilient and come back ready for game two.”

In game two, Erdmann started where she left off in the first game with three kills for an early 3-0 lead.

The Cardinals continued to apply pressure, with Houston pounding in another three kills and Brycelynn Smith an ace for the 13-7 lead.

“We came out ready to play and that was great to see,” Williams said.

Even when Galena scored its single point in that stretch, they had

Forreston’s Alexus Houston (23) and Kara Erdmann (1) dive for a Galena spike during action at the Port Byron (Riverdale) Sectional on Monday. Photo by Earleen Hinton to work for it after two tough digs

by Kara Erdmann. A decisive point for Galena came when it was 14-11 following a Cardinal return error.

Wills came up with a kill, but not before Galena was able to muster a block off a monster slam by Katie Erdmann. Forreston did up the advantage to 16-13 on two kills

by Erdmann, one barely inside the back line.

A kill, ace by Soppe and a return error gave Galena its first tie at

16-16. The Pirates took an 18-17 lead on two diving saves to save the point. Houston then tied it back up.

With the score 18-18 and tension in the Riverdale gym ratcheted up, even the officials must have felt it, as the next call was disputed. After consulting among themselves, the point was ruled in favor of Galena.

“There was a touch on the ball, which should have been our point,” said Williams, echoing exactly what the Cardinal fan base was exhorting.

high school volleyball: Hampshire was all set to play in the regional, but it was discovered they had 36 regular season games instead of the IHSA limit of 35. Thus, they had to forfeit their regional game and could not compete in the post season.

How about the showing by the NUIC in regional volleyball play?

Durand, Eastland and Stockton won in 1A and Forreston, Le-Win and West Carroll represented 2A at the Riverdale sectional.

The Big Northern, including league champ Rock Falls, was shut out in 2A and 3A regional action.

Overall, is it safe to say that the smaller-enrollment conference is better than the bigger one?

Oregon Supersectional For local fans looking to take in a match that doesn’t concern your team, Oregon will be hosting the super-sectional at the Blackhawk Center on Friday at 7 p.m. This is a chance to see volleyball being played at the highest level with a berth downstate on the line.

“The line judge made the call and switched it, which was really frustrating. In the end though, one call isn’t going to change the outcome of the whole game. We needed to bounce back and use that as motivation to get the next point.”

Forreston did tie it back up again at 19-19 and 20-20, but that was its last stand.

A costly communication error, in which a soft lob dropped in the middle of four Cardinal players, gave Galena a 22-20 lead.

Wasmund then found an empty spot to lay down a kill, followed by another by Wills.

“We didn’t have that fire and want to come out on top,” Williams said.

“But, all in all, I am proud of our girls and thought they played well.”

Fittingly, it was a dink kill that Forreston couldn’t return that closed the game out 25-21 in favor of Galena.

“I really liked when we were on tempo on offense,” Wills said. “”It helped having more than one option.

We could go either inside or outside and that kept them off balance.”

Forreston finished the season 29-8 and 11-2 in the conference.

“The girls have worked extremely hard and have really helped improve our program. I’ve seen a lot of great volleyball this season and even though it didn’t end the way we wanted, I am glad that I had the opportunity to coach them,” Williams said

arning: Whatever is written in this column is my opinion and may not always reflect the truth. Case in point – my analysis last week of the IHSA football playoffs.

For starters, I gave too much credence to Aurora Christian in 1A and how they might be the team to beat.

Well, this so-called suburban juggernaut barely won its first game 26-20 over Annawan-Wethersfield.

That result doesn’t smack of prowess.

Regarding Byron’s chances, I felt Rock Island Alleman from the higher enrollment Western Big-6 may give them a game and Chicago public league team Chicago Dunbar might present problems down the road. Wrong on both accounts.

No. 2 seed Dunbar lost to 15th seed Herscher, and I was able to witness Alleman giving up 50 points to a Byron team that probably could have scored more and look to have an unimpeded path to the state finals.

1. The budget. Ogle County needs to find additional revenue. As a member of the Regional Planning Commission, along with the Planning & Zoning Committee, I will do what I can to approve new business and help create new revenue for the county.

2. The new jail. As a member of the Long Range Committee, we are overseeing the construction of the new facility.

This inactivity costs taxpayers and deprives the local economy of much-needed new stimulation.

I will be in tune with the needs of the Ogle County taxpayers and respond with action. I will be the concerned voice on the board.

Why should voters choose you?

Voters truly have a choice this November. I am the candidate who will respond to Ogle County residents.
