Cost of remodeling county building comes down

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com After plan revisions and inspections, the estimated cost to remodel a countyowned building in Rochelle has decreased by more than $200,000.

Ogle County Board Chairman Kim Gouker told the board Tuesday evening that the estimated cost of

renovations to the former Rochelle Clinic is $642,000.

Last month, architect Greg Rewerts of Rewerts Design Group, Rockford, estimated the cost at $877,000.

Neither amount includes an estimated $372,000 to redo the roof and two parking lots.

Rewerts said Tuesday that he met with the building’s tenants and based on those discussions, he has refined and improved his original

design.

Changes to the plan lowered the anticipated cost, he said.

“We feel we now have floor plans everyone has approved,” Rewerts said.

Gouker said one of the biggest changes was turning the elevator 90 degrees so that only one door will be required instead of two.

He said that significantly reduced the cost.

After a discussion, the board approved by a vote of 16-5 moving to the next phase of the project and spending $30,000 for Rewerts to prepare construction documents.

The county purchased the clinic building, previously a bank, and its two large parking lots at 510 Lincoln Highway in downtown Rochelle last fall for $180,000 from Rochelle Community Hospital.

The county had already been renting the basement for its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) when hospital officials put the building on the market late last summer.

The plan is to locate the Rochelle offices of the Ogle County Health Department and Ogle County Probation Department in the building, as well as the University of Illinois clinic.

The two county

departments currently rent spaces in Rochelle for almost $50,000 per year.

Last month several board members questioned the cost of the remodeling and asked for another architectural firm to inspect the building.

Long Range Planning Committee member Zach Oltmanns, Stillman Valley, said Tuesday that two building inspectors went through it in the month between meetings.

OES students sing National Anthem

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com The ending of National Anthem Day at Oregon Elementary School could not have been planned any better.

As students sang the final note of “God Bless the USA” the lightning alarm sounded Friday morning.

The alarm was right on time, and many people gathered for the program outside the school thought it was the fire department sounding an alarm on their trucks.

When people realized it was the lightning alarm some

laughter was heard.

Students at Oregon Elementary School hold a public program outside of the school each year to celebrate Francis Scott Key’s writing of the words of “The StarSpangled Banner” during the War of 1812.

A variety of patriotic songs are sung including the National Anthem and “God Bless America.”

Students recite information about these songs before the performances.

Sunshine, bison bring visitors to Autumn on Prairie

By Earleen Hinton ehinton@oglecounty news.com Close to 1,000 visitors came to the Nachusa Grasslands’ Autumn on the Prairie Sept. 17 with most of them hoping to get a closer look at the preserve’s bison herd.

Some of them did and some did not, but such is the case when it comes to seeing an undomesticated herd that

has 1,500 acres to choose from.

“This is a wild herd, we may not be able to see them on demand,” Grasslands’ volunteer Mike Carr told a wagon full of visitors as they used binoculars to search bison in the distance.

And there they were… walking very slowly with the just the tops of their large brown bodies framed against a hill of flowing prairie grass.

“Yes, the grass is very tall,

but there, there they are,” said a tour participant.

Carr confirmed the sighting. “Seeing them at distance like this is one of the best things for me,” he said. “It’s a balance here. We don’t want them to become domesticated.”

The tour wagon Sarah Zuniga, an Oregon resident and student at Eureka College, was riding in watched as bison neared their group.

“Our tour had a group of bison run past us to catch up with the rest of the herd. I t was exhilarating seeing them run, and I think all of us were amazed at their power,” she said.

Wagon rides out into the fenced bison unit were just one of several educational offerings available at the event. Kids could check out animal pelts, play with wooden toys, or see how Native Americans used bison hides and bones in their everyday lives.

Woman dies in ATV rollover A Leaf River woman died early Tuesday morning when the all-terrain vehicle (ATV) she was riding on a gravel road rolled over approximately four miles southeast of German Valley.

Sara Coulman, 29, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash on North

Mt. Morris Road south of the intersection with Egan Road.

She lived less than a mile from the scene.

Ogle County Sheriff’s Police said Coulman was riding the ATV north on North Mt. Morris Road, for agricultural purposes, in thick fog at approximately

6 a.m.

The ATV traveled into the west ditch and overturned.

Police said Coulman was ejected from the ATV and was found in the west ditch.

The German Valley Fire Department and ambulance and the Mt. Morris ambulance assisted at the scene.

Man pickets over lack of action to clean up former printing plant

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com A Mt. Morris man took his frustration to the street last week after months of waiting for clean-up to begin at a shuttered printing plant.

Chris Corcoran, who lives at 202 Sunset Lane next door to the Quad Graphics printing plant, picketed in front of the Mt. Morris Village Hall Sept. 13 as village trustees and citizens came in for a board meeting.

The sign he was carrying read “Danger Zone,” “Old printing building needs to go,” “Not in compliance with village ordinance” all in capital letters.

Corcoran has been addressing the village board for more than a year about the deteriorating condition of the large, sprawling building that ceased operations on

May 13, 2011.

He has been telling board members that he believes its condition poses safety and environmental hazards, violates building codes and weed ordinances, exposes citizens to liability, and reduces property values in the community.

“It looks horrible,” Corcoran said last week.

He said he is done talking to the board and wants action.

“I’m going to do this [picket] every meeting until they take action,” he said.

“Words mean nothing — I want action.”

The plant is presently owned by Mt. Morris Business Park LLC, Downey, California, an entity completely unrelated to the Village of Mt. Morris.

Quad Graphics sold it to its current owners in February of 2013 and currently leases

the plant as a warehouse to store equipment.

They employ three people to manage and maintain the facility.

The facility is currently for sale.

Board members agreed last year to do what they could, but stressed the difficulty of dealing successfully with a large corporation located hundreds of miles away.

Trustee Jon Murray said Monday that letters written to the owner by village officials have been referred back to the plant’s local manager.

Taking legal action would be very costly, he said.

Murray said the gate at the plant was closed and locked about a year ago in response to Corcoran’s concerns about youths entering the property and getting hurt.

“It’s tough living next to an abandoned factory. That’s for sure,” Murray said.

Senior center to host health fair The Mt. Morris Senior Center, 9 E. Front St., Mt. Morris, will host its annual Health & Education Fair on Tuesday, Sept. 27 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

A faulty plumbing part left a brand new Mt. Morris business with a hefty water bill.

Village Trustee Jeff Pennington, who chairs the Water & Sewer Committee, told the village board Sept.

13 that an estimated 60,000 gallons of water flooded into the new Casey’s General Store, which is still under construction, over Labor Day weekend.

At first, village officials feared the bill could run into several thousand dollars.

However, in the end the estimated bill came to just $274.

Pennington said a valve inside the building broke,

allowing water to flow freely from a one-inch water line for several hours, eventually pouring out the doors.

Located at the corner of Ill. 64 and McKendrie Ave., the convenience store and gas station is slated to open this fall.

Because the break was inside, Pennington said, it is Casey’s responsibility to pay for the water used.

“This is a rare occurrence,” he said. “As unfortunate as it is, they should be treated like any other customer.”

He said because the break occurred before the water meter, the exact amount cannot be determined, but can be estimated based on how much more water than average was pumped by the village wells during the time of the leak.

Village water supervisor Gene Ashton said Casey’s should be charged only for the water used and not for sewer usage, because drains in the building weren’t yet open, keeping the water from flowing into the sewer system.

Fortunately, Ashton said the water did little damage was done to the building.

In other business, Village President Dan Elsasser urged the board to keep working toward adopting the regional building code.

“We need to get building codes in place to simplify several things we’re trying to do with ordinance enforcement,” he said. “I don’t want this to be swept under the rug and forgotten about.”

Meeting set to plan for future The Mt. Morris Planning Commission will host a kickoff meeting for planning the village’s future on Monday, Oct. 3 at 6 p.m. at the Mt. Morris Village Hall, 105 W. Lincoln St. Local residents are encouraged to attend — decisions are made by those who show up.

Council will assist with MM2035, a planning process aimed at updating the village’s 2007 comprehensive plan.

Many topics will be discussed, including: • Broad community vision, • Community facilities, infrastructure, and capital improvements, • Cultural, creative, and community resources,

Wienermobile coming to Harvest Time Parade Oct. 2 Car enthusiasts and hot dog lovers should find Autumn on Parade’s Harvest Time Parade especially tasty come Oct. 2.

Autumn on Parade officials received an email verification last week that Oscar Meyer’s Wienermobile will be taking part in this year’s parade, held on Sunday, Oct. 2.

“We asked them to come and they sent an email saying they would,” said Dave Boehle, AOP committee member. “We’re waiting for more details.”

The iconic Wienermobile, complete with its hot dog and bun sitting on top of a yellow car chassis, has been traveling highways since 1936 and fits somewhat with AOP’s 2016 theme “Celebrating the Heartland”.

“We chose this year’s theme so people could showcase what they are proud of from the heartland.

Farming, the beautiful parks in the area, anything that reminds you of our area is fair game. The festival this year is already promising to be one of the biggest and best yet.” said festival president Marseyne Snow.

This year’s festival will

be held Saturday, Oct. 1 and Sunday, Oct. 2 in Oregon.

The ever-popular Farmers’ Market and Craft Show, held Saturday and Sunday, should not disappoint with more than 190 booths taking part.

“Our six-person committee started last fall going to many other craft shows in an effort to bring in quality homemade items to this years craft show,” said Lisa Boehle, co-chairman of the Farmer’s Market and Craft Show.

“Right now we are at capacity and we’re putting vendors on a waiting list.”

Through cooperation with Ogle County and city officials, booths are located on the historic courthouse lawn and on surrounding city streets.

They will offer a variety of arts and crafts ranging from handmade wood items to homemade baked breads.

On Sunday, the Harvest Time Parade, has more than 120 entries including several bands.

“Most of the favorites will be back, like the South Shore Drill Team and the Jesse White Tumblers,” said Snow. “Besides that we have several high school marching

bands and novelty entries like the Weinermobile, Bubble Machine, Monster Truck, Rocket Cycle, 4-H and Scout groups, area businesses and many more entries.”

A post parade show by the South Shore Drill Team will again be offered on Sunday, at the conclusion of the main parade on Jefferson Street in front of the Oregon library.

Also back again this year will be agriculture broadcast legend Max Armstrong, a perennial crowd-pleaser, who will drive his well-known Farmall H in the parade.

Armstrong will also be available to talk to festivalgoers around noon on Sunday near the Food Court.

The second annual donut eating contest, for kids and adults, will be offered on Saturday from 9 a.m. to approximately 1 p.m. There will be four-age groups: 5-7 years; 8-10; 11-13; and 14-adult.

The contest will be held in the parking lot on Jefferson Street, located between S. Fifth and S. Sixth Streets.

Donuts are being provided by Casey’s.

“We tried to break it into groups that would be

competitive against each other,” said Chris Weber, cochairman of the event. “The winner of each age group will be given a prize.”

Polo alderman gets continuance The case of a former Polo city alderman charged with theft and forgery was continued in Ogle County court Sept. 16.

Judge Kathleen Kauffmann granted defense motion to continue David Ackeberg’s case until Nov. 14 when a pretrial hearing is scheduled.

Ackeberg, 38, is accused of theft between $500 and $10,000 and forging documents when he was employed as a salesman by Birkey’s Farm Store, Polo.

The charges, both Class 3 felonies, stem from offenses

committed between October of 2012 and February of 2014, according to court documents.

Ackeberg was indicted by an Ogle County Grand Jury on July 27.

According to the bill of indictment, he knowingly told Birkey’s officials that he sold customers equipment for prices greater than actually agreed upon and then falsified documents to support that.

The inflated prices were used to calculate his sales commissions.

The case is being prosecuted by the attorneys from the office of the Illinois Attorney General (IAG).

Ogle County State’s Attorney Eric Morrow said the IAG is handling the case because it involves a city official and because the Illinois State Police handled the investigation.

Ackeberg is being represented in court by Rochelle attorney Russell Crull.

Salstrom’s Prairie and the Sea on exhibit at Burpee Oregon native’s paintings focus on landscapes An Oregon artist’s recent oil paintings and pastel sketches are currently being exhibited at the The Burpee Museum in Rockford.

Mary Salstrom, who grew up in Oregon and now lives in New York City, is exhibiting “The Prairie and the Sea” works that feature landscape paintings of the Rock River Valley and of southern Sweden. A catalog with an essay by John Goodrich is also available.

The opening reception was held on Sept. 16. The exhibit will run until Oct. 15.

The exhibit includes plein air paintings by Salstrom of the summer landscape created in southern Sweden compared to oil paintings and pastels created in the Rock River Valley, and compose the theme of the current show.

As a native of the Rock River Valley and Oregon, for more than 30 years Salstrom returns to paint landscapes each summer.

Most recently she traveled to Sweden in search of discovering and painting the places that her Swedish ancestors might have known before immigrating to America and settling in Rockford.

The Mahlburg Scholars Talk: Prairies Now and Then Sunday, Sept. 25, 2 p.m.

The talk will be given

by Austin Web, Assistant Superintendent of Land Management Department, Byron Forest Preserve.

Illinois was once a vast grassland.

Many wonder at how such a habitat developed just to the west of the thick deciduous forest of eastern North America.

Web will share how the prairies developed in North America, and how Illinois offers a prime example of this unique habitat.

He will discuss the role of the prairie today as it is being restored and its importance.

This talk will be held in the Malhburg Auditorium where Salstrom’s exhibit, the Prairie and the Sea, is currently installed.

She will be able to share with the public her vision of the prairie.

Coffee and light refreshments will be served.

Members FREE/ Public $5.

Beauty of the land and its character are expressed in the painterly works in the exhibit.

Ongoing presence and history are preserved through organized efforts in both Sweden and Illinois.

Perfect prairie weather From A1 take hikes out into the prairie to learn about prairie plants and habitat.

A food tent, provided by Oliver’s Market, Dixon, also offered bison burgers along with more traditional fare.

Mother Nature helped this year’s event providing sunny skies and temperatures in the high 70s.

“It’s just a beautiful perfect day for this,” said visitor Dawn Smith, from Rochelle.

Marlene Witmer, of Oregon, said the tour to see the bison was interesting.

“We didn’t get to see the bison close up, but it was really interesting,” she said.

Grasslands manager Bill Kleiman said he was pleased with this year’s turn out.

“What I like about our festival is that people get to get out on the landscape… hike and see the bison,” he said.

This year’s event was the second since bison were reintroduced in October 2014 to help restore the prairie and encourage habitat for other prairie species at The Nature Conservancy preserve, located southeast

SM-ST09549-0922

of Oregon.

Since then, officials have been studying the large mammals’ effect on the prairie and so far they have seen a positive impact on how the bison’s grazing techniques are helping native grasses and all the other birds, amphibians, bugs, and mammals that live on the prairie.

Grasslands volunteers who spent hundreds of hours pulling invasive plants, collecting prairie plants seeds, burning, and replanting are now seeing where some prairie plants are doing better based on the bison’s selective eating habits.

The Grasslands’ herd was the first to live at a TNC preserve east of the Mississippi and also the first conservation herd in

Illinois—with a primary purpose of helping the prairie thrive.

Plans are underway to build a $1 million self-guided interpretive visitor facility along Lowden Road, south of the Grasslands headquarters barn, where visitors can learn about the prairie and, of course, the bison.

Volunteer opportunities are also available at the 4,000-acre Grasslands.

Work days are held every Saturday and begin at 9 a.m.

Volunteers should report to the Grasslands headquarters barn located at 8772 S. Lowden Road.

For more information, visit www.nachusagrasslands.org.

Nachusa Grasslands is owned and operated by the Emma Hoffman and her mom Aimee, of Dixon, and grandfather Larry Hunter, of Nature Conservancy.

OHS graduate is coaching cross country for NIU Myers has Huskies poised to win the MAC title

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com His first love was football, but it was long-distance running that has propelled Adrian Myers to a dream opportunity at Northern Illinois University.

A 2003 Hawk graduate, Myers is in his second year as head women’s cross-country coach for the Huskies.

Myers was an 800-meter state medalist in track for Oregon, but preferred to play football in the fall instead of running cross country.

That changed when he went

to Lewis University and became a standout runner for the Flyers, along with another Oregon grad, Andy Tremble.

Myers parleyed his running career into a 9-year coaching career.

Before taking the NIU job, he was at Purdue as an assistant. When the NIU cross-country coach left two years ago, Myers got a call from the women’s track coach asking if we would be interested.

“It was a no-brainer for me,” said Myers, who lives in Sycamore with his wife and two children. “It was a chance to be closer to home.”

In a short time, Myers has established NIU as one of the favorites to win the MAC title and one of the key reasons is Byron’s Kelsey Hildreth, a junior.

Besides some of the top times ever at NIU, Hildreth took second at last year’s conference meet, the

Adrian Myers

highest finish by anyone in school history.

“Since coach Myers came here, it seems like the biggest change is the team dynamics,” Hildreth said. “He allows us to have more confidence.”

Other girls on the 16-member team agreed.

It’s a 180-degree difference than before,” said senior Carly Pederson of Normal. “He’s such a dad at heart. If any of us are having personal problems, we can go into his office and cry. I envy the freshmen that get to come in an have him for all four years.”

Last weekend, NIU beat Big 10 schools Illinois and Iowa to claim a 10-team invite at Illinois State.

Myers goal is to become a top-30 program nationally.

“Right now, we’re knocking off major programs,” Myers said. “We have super depth on this team and it’s easy to recruit. All I have to do is sell the university.”

The Saturday after the win at Illinois State, Myers had a couple of recruits in tow at a NIU home football game. The rest of the team

was with him to offer support.

“When I recruit, I look for under-developed kids with mental toughness and a willingness to work,” Myers said.

Once he gets them on campus, Myers nurtures them as runners that won’t get discouraged by the demands of intercollegiate athletes.

“As cross-country runners, we’re so hard on ourselves,” Pederson said. “He stresses positives.”

Collectively, the Huskies sport a 3.7 GPA, a statistic that Myers is as proud of as their running times.

“My favorite thing about the team is its work ethic,” he added.

Since having two Achilles surgeries, Myers doesn’t do much running anymore. But, from how well the NIU women’s team has been doing, that isn’t a prerequisite for being a top-flight coach.

Hawks fall to Rockets 33-21

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com In a 33-21 win over Oregon, Rock Falls proved they are a different team and a different program than in previous decades.

Ahead 13-0 early in the second quarter and in possession of the ball, the Rockets looked to be in complete control of the game. However, a fumbled pitch gave the ball back to Oregon.

Three unanswered touchdowns by the Hawks and a few mistakes by Rock Falls, it was 21-13 in favor of Oregon. Rocket fans accustomed a generation of losing, had to wonder if this game was destined to the days of old.

“I thought we were in good shape,” Oregon coach John Bothe said.

In what has been a rebirth of sorts this season, Rock Falls got up off the canvas and was able to deliver the decisive blows the rest of the game, shutting down the Hawk running game and scoring three touchdowns.

“It’s emotional,” said under-sized lineman Rollie Elder. “We just do our job and don’t give up. “The support we have walking down the hallways at school

Hawks win 3-0

and from the fans here means a lot. I remember how it was when I was a freshman.”

Quarterback Logan Pillars was brilliant in directing the Rockets on its scoring drives and avoiding sacks. He was 18-for-27 for 276 yards passing with two touchdowns to Roger Carlson and one to Mike Berentes.

“You give Logan time and he’s tough,” Rock Falls coach Rich Montgomery said. “He has nice receivers to throw to and we were also able to run.”

Isaiah Harris had rushing touchdowns of nine and eights yards, as the Rockets had over 400 yards of total offense. This isn’t a onedimensional team anymore.

“Rock Falls never lacked for talent and physicality,” Bothe said. “They are more structured now. This won’t be their last win.”

Rock Falls caught a break to take a 7-0 lead. Berentes caught a Pillars pass at the 5-yard line, but fumbled it into the end zone. With a group of Hawk defenders nearby, Berentes beat them all to the ball.

Trailing 13-0 after a Carlson score, Devin DeHaan came up with the key defensive play of the game Oregon by recovering a fumbled pitch at the Rock Falls’ 37-yard line.

“That one play changed the whole game around,” Montgomery said.

Taking advantage of the short field, Oregon drove to the 4-yard line and faced a fourth down. Jacob Cullen carried three would-be tacklers in the end zone for a score.

Oregon forced RF into a punt and got the ball back on

its own 8-yard line late in the second quarter. Four straight runs by Cullen got the ball near midfield. With time running down, quarterback Cade Chenoweth scrambled to the 10-yard line and a horse collar by the Rockets made it first-and-goal.

It was the unbridled horse Cullen, who reached the 300-yard mark for the season

rushing, crashing in for the score with eight seconds left in the half to tie the game.

“The way Oregon runs the ball, it’s hard to stop,” Montgomery said.

A Chase Prehn 49-yard dash gave Oregon a 21-13 lead early in the second half, but the Hawks struggled to move the ball after that.

“I had a few choice

words with our defense,” Montgomery said. “Then, we started slanting differently.

We hadn’t practiced it, but it worked.”

Pillars quickly drove his team down for a touchdown and the game was tied at 2121.

Oregon’s next possession only yielded one first down, Turn to B2

Hawks host ‘Bago on Friday From B1 that on a generous spot on a fourth-down gamble. Forced to punt, the Hawk defense was beginning to show effects of several players going both ways.

Completing all three pass attempts, running 12 yards on a broken play and feeding Harris the ball on rush attempts, Pillars had the Rockets on the board again.

On the first play of the fourth quarter, Harris went eight yards for a 27-21 lead.

“It’s tough when you only have 21 players suited up,”

Bothe said.

Trailing 27-21 with 7:16 left in the game, Oregon needed to drive 79 yards to score. Five plays later, Tyler Meyers snuffed out any chance of a Hawk victory by recovering a fumble near midfield for Rock Falls.

Taking over at their own 40, the Rockets ran eight straight times over the depleted Hawk defense before Pillars found a wideopen Carlson in the end zone for the 33-21 final margin of victory.

“We had to have this game,” Montgomery said.

“If we go 2-2, the doubts start popping in. There’s an improving attitude.”

After going 1-26 the last three seasons, Rock Falls goes to a surprising 3-1 record.

Oregon drops to 1-3 with the meat of the schedule remaining the next four weeks.

KOOL95.7 with Sam Ramirez and Mark Herman

Friday, September 23rd 7:00 PM • Pre-Game Show 6:45 pm

Games are streamed live on www.koolfm957.com

To the Oregon Hawk faithful, I have a confession to make.

During the football game against Rock Falls, I felt a slight tug at my heart for the Rockets to win because of the decades of suffering they have endured.

No, I wasn’t rooting against the hometown team. Rather, let the chips fall where they may and whoever wins, I will be happy for either side.

Thus, I joyfully gave old friend Rocket head coach Rich Montgomery a hug after the game and shared the joy of winning a game with him.

In the 42 years of the playoffs, Rock Falls had only made it twice, with only one win, that in 1992 in Montgomery’s first go around as coach. Since that time, Rock Falls has been a woeful 37-170, one of the worst records in the state.

Montgomery stepped away from coaching 20 years ago, but took over the reins after internal problems within the program a couple years ago.

Something had to be done and though approaching 60 years of age, Montgomery decided to take on the task himself.

In an experimental move, he surrounded himself a bunch of former head coaches with a wealth of experience.

That did not seem to make much difference, as another 0-9 season resulted.

The biggest problem was that losing was so ingrained at Rock Falls that it was difficult to change the culture of the kids. You could have all of these veteran coaches, but if the kids aren’t buying into to what is being sold, futility will continually reign.

One of those veterans is Ken Scott of Oregon, a 1967 Rocket graduate. Scott was

the top lineman on a team that went 7-2 his junior and senior years. He opened the holes for Mike Berentes, another former head coach who came back to help coach and also has a grandson on the team.

“Last year, the seniors didn’t take the coaching change too well,” Scott said. “We played a lot of juniors and that experience helped. It’s a totally different atmosphere this year.”

Oregon crushed RF 41-18 and 40-0 in 2013 and 2014.

They also won last year, but a major difference between the two programs is that RF has now substantially more kids out for football than Oregon.

Never one to make excuses, John Bothe lamented the difficulty in only having 21 players on the varsity. Credit to Rock Falls for keeping the numbers up, this in an age of declining participation and the additional handicap of being a perennial loser.

“That one of the so many little things that makes a difference between winning and losing,” Scott said. “We have 70 out for football and are also seeing success at the lower levels.”

Could this one season be the breakthrough for RF to emerge as another BNC power, not that Oregon needs another brute in an already difficult conference slate.

“It’s so tenuous,” Scott said. “We have a positive feeling and the negative has left us, for now. I’m not seeing it won’t come back.

The Rock Falls people are so hungry for this. As coaches, we’re tickled.”

With such an element of human emotion, see why it is hard not for me to cheer on the Rockets. Or, as one of the chain gang members said, ‘if you’re going to lose to somebody, I’d rather it be Rock Falls.’

NIU loses On another football note, I took in the NIU and San Diego State football game. Even with the No. 22 team in the country at Huskie Stadium, fan support

continues to decline.

This may sound outlandish, but maybe NIU did themselves a disservice by going to Orange Bowl.

After reaching such a pinnacle, there was nowhere to go but down.

Accustomed to a decadelong rise to prominence and being listed among the winningest programs in all of D-I, NIU is 0-3 and calls are being heard to replace coach Rod Carey.

The student section, crucial to fan support, was only halfway filled and after halftime was nearly deserted.

One of the most difficult tasks that day was dispersing the tailgaters and getting them to come inside the stadium for the game.

It seemed like many preferred the partying atmosphere instead.

Mid-majors like NIU have extreme difficulty competing with big-time world of college football, where an Alabama or Michigan spring football game draw more fans than what the huskies get for an entire season of attendance.

Perhaps NIU would be better served to stop chasing the dream and settle for simplicity. Stop all the talk of expanding facilities, paying exorbitant coaching salaries and selling out to ESPN. What’s wrong with being a university first and foremost?

Football needs to be secondary to the mission of the school unlike places that make football its No. 1 priority and revel in it.

CHILD CARE

512

NO INDIVIDUAL, unless licensed or holding a permit as a childcare facility, may cause to be published any advertisement soliciting a child care service.* A childcare facility that is licensed or operating under a permit issued by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services may publish advertisements of the services for which it is specifically licensed or issued a permit. Sauk Valley Media strongly urges any parent or guardian to verify the validity of the license of any facility before placing a child in it's care. *Family homes that care for no more than three (3) children under the age of twelve or which receive only children from a single household, for less than 24 hours per day, are exempt from licensure as day care homes.

The three children to whom this exemption applies includes the family's natural or adopted children and any other persons under the age of 12 whether related or unrelated to the operator of the day care home. (DCFS Rule, Part 377.3 (c))

Ogle County Newspapers, Thursday, September 22, 2016, Page B9

Astrograph Learn as you go, and don’t fold under pressure.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2016 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) -- Try not to complain or question what others do.

Focus inward and aim to do things that will make you feel good about yourself and your contributions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Learn as you go. Let your instincts and intuition help you find your strengths. Courage comes from doing what you believe is right. Change will lead to a fortunate discovery.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Don’t spend money foolishly. If you want to help a cause, put your time and expertise to work, not your cash. Your ideas will be a far better contribution.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If you put more time and effort into personal relationships, you will find common ground that will help you bring about positive changes at home and among your peers.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Stick close to home and take measures to prevent interference from someone who is trying to make you look bad. Don’t hesitate or change your mind just because someone disrupts your plans.

Do what works for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- An experiment will turn out better than anticipated.

Network with others and share your success with people who could have something to contribute to your plans.

Romance is highlighted.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Problems at home will escalate. Stay focused on your work and on fulfilling your duties in a timely manner.

Letting your emotions affect your job performance will lead to more stress at home.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You should make special plans that will bring you closer to someone who intrigues you. Share your vision and your ambitions. Altering your living arrangement looks promising.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- An emotionally fraught matter will get blown out of proportion if you or a colleague becomes aggressive.

Refuse to get drawn into something that could put you in a vulnerable position.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You need to show greater creativity when you are dealing with peers or presenting your work. Someone will offer you an opportunity based on your actions, not your words.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t take part in gossip or share personal information.

Work on a project that will require your undivided attention and unique and creative skills. Home improvements are favored.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Keep your emotions out of any situation that involves money.

Joint ventures will not pan out as hoped, leaving you in an awkward position. A romantic gesture will pay off.
