Judge sets bond for Coltrain at $100,000 Dec. 2 From A1 under both eyes, told Hanson he was attacked by another inmate in the Ogle County Jail after his arrest Nov. 27 and wants to press charges against the person who hit him.

Hanson told him to discuss that with his attorney.

Coltrain and Matthew Steder, 22, Mt. Morris, who is also charged with three counts of hate crimes stemming from the same party, are being held in the Whiteside County Jail.

Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn declined to comment on the alleged incident at the jail.

Rock said Tuesday that he has not yet received a report on the incident.

However, Coltrain told Sauk Valley Media that he was attacked Nov. 27 by African American inmates sharing his cell after they heard a TV news report that said he was charged with a hate crime.

Steder also appeared before Hanson on Monday.

He is also charged with one count of aggravated battery, a Class 3 felony, as well as three counts of battery, in additional to hate crimes.

Both Coltrain and Steder, who are scheduled to appear in court Dec. 6, are two of the seven adults charged last week in connection with the party that took place Aug. 10 at the Heck residence at 804 Monroe St., Oregon.

At that time, police arrested five teens for underage drinking outside the home and another a block away.

The fight had occurred outside the house before police arrived in the early morning hours, DeHaan said.

The police who responded to the call did not see Williams, and none of the people there at the time mentioned that he had been injured, he said.

Williams was found unconscious and unresponsive inside the home at 8:19 a.m., after a second 911 call from a “father figure� of one of the Several more party-goers teens who had spent the night scattered when police arrived, at the home after the party, Oregon Police Chief Darin DeHaan said.

ComEd, Exelon help in Coal City ComEd and Exelon employees led a volunteer event Nov. 23 to aid the tornado-damaged communities of Diamond and Coal City.

This event was the culmination of a week-long effort by Exelon’s support network for employees with prior military service, Exelon Militaries Actively Connected (E-MAC).

E-MAC members, along with their friends, family and fellow employees, gathered donations of clothing, gift cards, money and other items for those affected by tornadoes and severe storms on Nov. 17. “This donation drive and volunteer event is just one of many examples of ComEd’s dedication to the communities where our customers and employees live and work,�said Terence R. Donnelly, ComEd

executive vice president, chief operating officer, and executive sponsor of E-MAC. “Like all of our employee resource groups, E-MAC routinely supports the larger community in ways big and small.�

Arturo Chavez, ComEd senior business analyst and President of E-MAC, worked with the Village of Diamond to orchestrate this event, where approximately 60 volunteers worked more than five hours to assist with organizing donations and clean-up efforts.

Employees are sending monetary donations to the Grundy County Marine Corps League to distribute to local residents. “When we saw the destruction in Diamond and the surrounding areas, ComEd and Exelon employees felt like they wanted to do something,�

ComEd and Exelon employees led a volunteer event Nov. 23 to aid the tornado-damaged communities of Diamond and Coal City in Central Illinois. Photo supplied

said Chavez. “Hopefully our donations and volunteers will help to provide some comfort and restore a little bit of normalcy to the lives of those affected.�

The volunteer event was initially suggested by a ComEd Customer Service Representative, Angella Crose, who resides in neighboring Morris, after she

witnessed the devastation and loss in Diamond.

Crose engaged Chavez, knowing that E-MAC, like all the Exelon employee resource groups, routinely lead community service events to help those in need.

In addition to the donation drive and the volunteer event, E-MAC is also running a Toys for Tots drive to benefit

the residents of Diamond and Coal City, which will run through Dec. 20. “While I have always been the type of person that likes to fix things, I knew when I saw the devastation in Diamond and Coal City that I couldn’t fix it,� said Crose. “All I could do was try to help. It just takes the life out of your breath to see what

these people have lost, and my hope is that we can bring some joy back to those who are suffering by assisting them in any way we can.�

Crose said.

More than 25 ComEd crews were deployed in Diamond and Coal City to restore power to approximately 1,400 local residents affected by the storm.

Winter Build Sale

Choose the perfect Christmas tree As families begin choosing a Christmas tree, a University of Illinois horticulture educator provided brief descriptions of popular tree varieties. “Having a little knowledge about Christmas tree varieties will make your quest for the ‘perfect’ tree an easy one,� said Ron Wolford. He gave the following information which he said could be helpful in choosing a tree.

Balsam fir has short, flat, long-lasting needles that are rounded at the tip and are .75 to 1.5 inches long. It has a nice, dark green color with silvery cast and fragrant.

It is named for the balsam or resin found in blisters on bark. Resin is used to make microscope slides and was sold like chewing gum. It was also used to treat wounds during the Civil War. Canaan fir is known for soft, short, bluish to dark green needles, .5 to 1.25 inches long, needles are silver on underside.

The tree has strong branches and open growing pattern, along with good needle retention and fragrance.

Douglas fir has a good fragrance and holds blue to dark green with needles that are one to 1.5 inches. It has one of the best aromas among Christmas trees when crushed. Branches are spreading and drooping.

After being cut, the Douglas fir will last three to four weeks. Named after David Douglas who studied the tree in the 1800s. This tree has good conical shape and can live for a thousand years.

Fraser fir has dark green, flattened needles that are .5 to one inch long. The tree has good needle retention with a nice scent. It has pyramidshaped, strong branches that

turn upward.

The Fraser fir was named for botanist John Fraser who explored the southern Appalachians in the late 1700s.

Grand fir is a tree with shiny, dark green needles about one to 1.5 inches long.

The needles when crushed give off a citrusy smell. It will last three to four weeks after being cut.

Noble fir has needles about one inch long, and is bluish green with a silvery appearance. This tree has short, stiff branches, great for heavier ornaments. It keeps well and is used to make wreaths, door swags, and garland.

With good care, the tree will last for six weeks after being cut.

Concolor fir has bluegreen needles that are .5 to 1.5 inches long. The tree is known for its nice shape and good aroma, a citrus scent.

It has good needle retention.

In nature, the concolor fir can live to 350 years.

Austrian fir is a tree with dark green needles, four to six inches long. The tree retains needles well, with a moderate fragrance.

Red pine also has dark green, needles which are four to six inches long. The tree is big and bushy.

Scotch pine is the most common Christmas tree. Its stiff branches hold heavy ornaments well. Needles are

stiff and dark green, about one inch long. It holds needles for four weeks, needles will stay on even when dry. The tee has an open appearance and more room for ornaments. Its branches will support heavy ornaments, and will keep its aroma throughout the season.

The Scotch pine was introduced in the United States by European settlers.

Virginia pine, is a tree with dark green needles which are 1.5 to three inches long in twisted pairs. The strong branches enable it to hold heavy ornaments. It has a strong aromatic pine scent, and is a popular southern Christmas tree.

White pine has soft, bluegreen needles, two to five inches long in bundles of five.

It retains needles throughout the holiday season.

The tree is known for its very full appearance, has little or no fragrance, which causes less allergic reactions as compared to more fragrant trees. This tree doesn’t hold heavy ornaments well.

The white pine is the largest pine in U.S. It is the state tree of Michigan and Maine. Its slender branches will support fewer and smaller decorations as compared to Scotch pine.

Blue spruce is dark green to powdery blue with very stiff needles that are .75 to 1.5 inches long. The tree has good form but will drop needles in a warm room. It is symmetrical, and best among

species for needle retention.

Its branches are stiff and will support many heavy decorations.

The blue spruce is the state tree of Utah and Colorado. It can live in nature 600 to 800 years.

Norway spruce has .5 to one inch long needles that are shiny and dark green. Needle retention is poor without proper care. It has a strong fragrance with a nice conical shape.

The Norway spruce is very popular in Europe.

White spruce has needles that are .5 to .75 inches long and green to bluish green, short, stiff needles. The crushed needles have an unpleasant odor. This tree has good needle retention and holds ornaments well. The white spruce is the state tree of South Dakota.

Leyland cypress is dark green in color with no aroma.

It has a good shape but will not support large ornaments.

The tree is very popular in the southeast United States. “Whatever variety of Christmas tree you choose for your home, proper watering and keeping your house as moist and cool as possible will help lengthen enjoyment of your tree and safety,�

Wolford said.

signs and quantity of signs only indicate a candidate has money to spend.

What matters first and foremost is that the citizens of Ogle County realize that March 18 is the primary election and for a few candidates itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s results are the same as the general election next fall.

With that in mind mark your calendar and get out and vote for the best qualified candidates. Second and of

equal importance. Take the time to check out each candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s qualifications.

Public Voice

Dear Editor, There is a problem that handicapped people experience if they do not drive cars.

I have a three-wheeled bicycle and have been advised to park in a regular car spot when I am in the town of Polo.

Sometimes people complain that I should not park there.

The Chief of Police, Dennis Christen, has told me that I should use a regular parking spot or a handicapped spot.

Since I am not as handicapped as some people, I prefer to leave the handicap spots open.

The Polo City Council advised me to write a letter to inform people that I have the same rights as if I parked a car or truck.

If people continue to move my bicycle out of a parking spot, I will have to start calling the police department to write up a citation for that person.

Sincerely, James Rinehart Polo

Koper says sign for candidate was damaged Dear Editor, On Sunday afternoon Nov. 24 at approximately 2:30 p.m. I noticed an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elect Joe Drought for Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x153; 4 ft. by 8 ft. sign had been damaged.

It had just been installed in a field in the southeast corner of Ill. 72 and Mt. Morris Rd. During the 20 hours since its installation the prior evening at 6:30 p.m. it had been vandalized by spraying it with paint and breaking it in two, plus cracking it in another place.

Signs like this are not cheap and any assistance to the investigation would be greatly appreciated.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care which candidate is the victim of this type of senseless damage it is a result of stupid and immature action that causes this type of activity.

If the person/persons involved in this are doing it because they do not like Joe then it is my hope that on March 18th you are watching the election results from behind bars. As with any

candidate that is the victim of this type of activity any information at all should warrant a phone call to that candidate.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get this stopped before it gets worse.

There is a sizable political sign appearing at the intersection of IIll. 251 and Ill. 64. Kind of makes a person wonder what all this type of expense is supposed to mean.

To me the size of campaign

There are races for offices that there are enormous differences in the candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s qualifications whom are running for the same office.

County board approves raises for some appointees ZBA, Regional Planning boards to see increase

By Vinde Wells Editor After two votes and a spirited discussion, the Ogle County Board okayed raises Nov. 19 for members of two appointed boards.

Board member Bill Welty, Chana, recommended an increase in the pay per meeting and the mileage compensation for members of the Regional Planning Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA).

Both boards are appointed by the county board.

The Regional Planning Commission is comprised of county residents, a county board member, and county officials, while the ZBA is made up of citizens.

Welty first made a motion

to increase the pay per meeting from $40 to $45 and the mileage rate from 40 cents per mile to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rate, which is 56.5 cents for 2013.

Board member Bobbie Colbert, Rochelle, objected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re opening a can or works here,â&#x20AC;? she said, pointing out that other appointed boards and committees have not been given raises.

Welty said the two boards in question have not received increases for five years. He said they sometimes hold numerous meeting to resolve a single issue and drive many miles in their own vehicles to look at property being discussed in their meetings.

He said he has been asked why the members of the two boards would get only $45 per meeting when county board members are paid $50 per meeting.

Welty then amended his motion to made the pay per meeting $50.

Board member Pat Saunders, Polo, voiced disapproval of the mileage rate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m against the federal rate,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was against increasing the rate [for county board members] from one cent per mile.â&#x20AC;?

Saunders was referring to the county boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision last December to reverse a three-year-old budget cut that set the county boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mileage compensation from one cent per mile to the IRS rate.

The mileage roll-back started in December of 2008 when the board agreed to decrease the reimbursement from the 58.5 cents per mile allowed by the IRS at that time to 48.5 cents.

A few months later on Aug. 18, 2009, the board dropped the amount to one cent per mile, where it remained until Dec. 18, 2012.

At that time, the measure was expected to save the county $16,000 per year.

County board members are paid for their trips to and from board and committee meetings and to attend to other county business.

Saunders also said that county board members have not received a pay per meeting increase for at least 10 years.

Colbert reiterated her objections to the per meeting increase for the Regional Planning Commission and ZBA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to remind some board members â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the ones that have been on for a while, not the ones elected last year â&#x20AC;&#x201D;what was done to Board of Review (BOR) members,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Colbert was making reference to the county boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action on Sept.

13, 2011 to reduce BOR memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pay from $4,500 per year to $2,000.

Three months later two long-time BOR members resigned. The county board appointed new members

to take their places and increased the annual salary to $3,500.

Weltyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amended motion for $50 per meeting ended in a tie vote and was defeated.

The original motion for $45 per meeting was approved.

In other business, the board: s APPROVED THE holiday schedule for county employees, s APPROVED AN

intergovernmental agency agreement with the Byron Forest Preserve for maintenance at Weld Park; s APPROVED DELAYING THE employeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of a health insurance premium increase to Jan. 1, instead of Dec. 1 when the new fiscal year begins.

Health insurance premiums will increase by 22.9 percent.

However, the county will pay its share of the increase on Dec. 1.

Open house is Dec. 8 Sandy Simms, Leaf River, will host a Country Christmas Open House on Sunday, Dec. 8 from 2 to 8 p.m. at her home at 210 Main St. She lives in the 140-yearold Specter-Leerhoff-Simms home and at Christmas time, opens her home to the public.

After moving into the house in 2001, Simms spent a couple of years renovating it.

She has brought it up to date, but at the same time taken it back to its original past years.

Antiques and collectibles scattered around fit perfectly with the age of the home.

The Country Christmas Open House is sponsored by the Leaf River Historical Society and Museum, which will benefit from all donations.

Strong competition should spell wrestling success Hawks practices have been good

By Andy Colbert Reporter The wrestling season is only a couple weeks old, but Oregon coach Mike Guzman is really excited.

“The first two weeks of practice is the best I’ve seen in the 4-5 years I’ve been here,” Guzman said.

The reason for Guzman’s enthusiasm is an increase of 24 to 30 wrestlers from last year, strong competition for most positions and a good turnout of freshmen. The squad also has a workmanlike attitude.

The biggest loss from last season is Brandon

Sklavanitis, the second state champ (Tony Pedrosa 2001) in school history. Sklavanitis finished with a 46-1 record and defeated Zach Abney of Pittsfield 4-1 for the 170-pound 1A state title.

“Brandon brought a lot more than a state title,” Guzman said. “His senior leadership will be missed.

He leaves a legacy and something to chase after.”

The Hawks do not have the star quality of a Sklavanitis, but have eight returning varsity wrestlers.

From 120 pounds and up, Guzman envisions potentially two wrestlers at each weight class competing for the starting spot.

“We’ll have wrestle-backs every week,” he added. “Last year, a lot of the kids earned their stripes at the jayvee

level. This year, they’ll have the chance to earn in on varsity.”

One drawback for Oregon is not being able to fill the two lowest weights, but Guzman says the team will be solid at the weight classes they can fill.

“Zim Granados will be tough at the lower weights,” Guzman said.

“Garrett Rude (160-170) and Ashton Rutherford (145) have experience from the last few years and will have good years.”

Guzman is also pleased to have senior Tyler Blume out for wrestling for the first time.

“He’ll be a good addition as a leader,” Guzman said.

Other wrestlers mentioned

by Guzman were junior Taron Heck and sophomore

Matt Crandall.

“Once Crandall gets his conditioning in, he’s going to be okay. He’s very athletic and has a lot of potential,”

Guzman said.

The Hawks finished above .500 last year in dual meets, but struggled a bit in bigger meets.

Hawks sixth at tourney

Stillman wins Class 3A title in dramatic finish Cardinals beat St. Joe-Ogden 43-41 in OT

By Andy Colbert Reporter In an IHSA state championship thriller considered by many to be the finest of the eight games played last weekend at Northern Illinois University, Stillman Valley defeated St. Joseph-Ogden 43-41 for the 3A title in football.

The two storied programs had no turnovers, minimal penalties, were 10-for-10 on fourth down attempts, had total yardage that was close, and were never separated by more than one touchdown.

In the end, it was a 2-point conversion by Zac Hare that proved to be the difference and gave the Cardinals (122) their fifth state title in six state final appearances.

“State title games are dramatic,” Hare said. “I can’t adequately describe this game.”

For St. Joe-Ogden (11-3), it was complete and utter disappointment, as they remain winless in five trips downstate, including a 1999 loss to Byron.

“We’re very depressed— to come that close,” said Dick Duval (229-72), in his 26th and maybe final year as SJO coach. “To have been here five times and come up short, it’s really rough.”

Even winning coach Mike Lalor left the field with a self-described “pit in the stomach” after seeing the toll exacted on Duval, a longtime coaching mentor of his.

“I’ve never had a win that I felt so much mixed

emotion and have never seen a coach with that kind of (shell-shocked) look on his face,” Lalor said. “It is gut wrenching. Football truly is a game of inches.”

In the first possession of the overtime period, Hare scored on a controversial fourthdown play from two yards out. Televised replays gave indications that a fumble may have occurred, but officials ruled it a touchdown.

“The replay that we’ve been getting is that the ball was out (before crossing the goal line),” said a very succinct Duval.

As SV attempted to kick the extra point, error-free SJO was hit with its first penalty of the game. With the ball half the distance to the goal line, Lalor opted for a 2-point conversion instead and Hare crashed over for a 43-35 advantage.

“The whole night we executed so well. That penalty came at the wrong time,” Duval said.

The Spartans found themselves in further trouble after another penalty made it first-and-27 instead of firstand-10 in their overtime possession.

Quarterback Dalton Walsh, who had the game of his life, somehow managed to escape the SV rush and found Jake Stewart for a 21-yard gain.

“Dalton (24-35 for 259 yards passing) extended plays all night,” Duval said.

Two plays later Connor Janes scored from six yards away and Duval was forced to come up with a 2-point play to force another overtime. With Walsh having a hot hand, a passing play was called.

Unfortunately for Walsh and his teammates, he never had a chance to get the ball off

“We’re not yet at the level as some of the top programs, but I think a couple of our kids can compete for making it downstate,” he added.

View video highlights from the game at www.oglecountynews.com as nose guard Logan Alberts and end Eddie Torrance, a pair of 175-pounders speedsters, blew through the line for a quick sack.

“I didn’t even see them coming,” said Walsh, who was only sacked one other time. “My line had done a

great job all night.”

“There wasn’t too many open gaps, but this time one opened up and I went through as fast as I could,” Alberts said.

Early in the fourth quarter, Alberts also scored on a 3-yard option pitch on fourth

down to pull his team within 28-28. For the game, the Cardinals were an incredible 7-for-7 on fourth down conversions, including their last three touchdowns.

The Oregon boys basketball team took sixth place at its own Thanksgiving Tournament, losing 69-33 to Byron.

Earlier, the Hawks beat West Carroll and Morrison and lost to Kewanee.

“Overall, we thought we would finish about .500,” Oregon coach Quinn Virgil said. “Against West Carroll, we played okay.

We also played hard against Kewanee.”

Oregon beat West Carroll 75-56 and playing without Jessie McKinley, lost to Kewanee 58-38.

In Saturday’s final round, the Hawks started slow against Morrison and had to come from behind to win 4542. Matt Murray, who was named to the all-tournament team, had 13 points to lead Oregon, with McKinley next at 10 points.

“We didn’t play well against Morrison, but I was happy to see us come back,” Virgil said.

The Hawks were completely flat against Byron and trailed 45-13 at halftime.

The lone bright spot was 14 points by Billy Heeg.

“Once Byron went on its runs, we folded our cards,” Virgil said. “It was good to see Billy come around in that last game.”

A major concern for Virgil was Oregon’s inability to break presses.

“Teams are going to notice that and take advantage of it,” Virgil said. “Once word get out that Oregon can’t break a press, we’ll have problems, especially in the Big Northern. We’re working to fix it.”

Coaches, players adapting to changes

By Andy Colbert Reporter Twenty-two seconds into the first game of the season, Oregon basketball coach Quinn Virgil was whistled for a technical foul.

His offense? Stepping outside of the designated ‘coaching box’.

In years past, this violation would rarely be called and only if a coach was creating a ruckus.

This is a new world of high school basketball officiating and both the boys and girls teams from Oregon are learning first hand how different games will be

called.

In the same game that Virgil got his T, Jessie McKinley quickly fouled out and was also suspended for the next game.

While McKinley accepted his fate, he felt the sudden change in officiating could have been better facilitated.

“It would have been much easier if this would have started this summer and we could have gotten used to it,” said McKinley looking respondent in a suit and bowtie during the Kewanee game he was forced to sit out.

Oregon girls assistant Dan Engelkes readily agreed.

“Instead of going from a

10 to a five and then to a one, they went right from a 10 to a one,” Engelkes said. “That’s too extreme. As coaches, it really makes it difficult in knowing how to prepare a team.”

In a 61-58 loss to Mendota, the girls had four of its five starters foul out.

“It’s hard to make a comeback when your best shooters are on the bench,” Engelkes said.

Officials have been told by the IHSA to have “zero tolerance” when it comes to coaches stepping out of the coaches box, likely in response to the ugly 2A state finals between Harrisburg

and Seton Academy.

The only time a coach can leave their ‘box’ is for timeouts and end of quarters.

A technical will be called without warning (hence the early T on Quinn) for violation of this.

At the national level, the following mandates have been set forth: s !LL CONTACT INITIATED BY A defender against a player who has the ball will be called a foul, including the common practice of ‘hand-checking’. s "UMPING THE CUTTER WILL be a foul. s 4AUNTING WILL RESULT IN A technical foul.

Sports Column Emotions and memories are intertwined at state title game

By Andy Colbert Reporter One of my very first remembrances in life was going to football games at St. Joseph-Ogden, where my father used to coach.

Fifty years later, he asked if I would take him back for a visit there and a stop at nearby U of I for a coaching clinic he used to attend.

That was in April. Never did I realize the different lives I would randomly come in contact with that weekend and how they would intertwine on a November day in DeKalb.

When my dad and I arrived in St. Joe, the school was closed for spring break and

everyone was gone except for a custodian or two. A bit disappointed, we still got a dose of nostalgia by walking out to the football field, the site of an undefeated season for my dad in 1963, the first year St. Joe and Ogden consolidated as a school.

By a twist of fate we came upon a few players working out, including quarterback Dalton Walsh. Fifty years later and generations apart, talking football with Dalton and his teammates provided a connection to the past and a reminder that the passage of time goes all too fast.

The next day, it was off to Champaign to spend a couple hours at the clinic for before going back home.

Surprisingly, I ran into Mike Lalor’s father and said hi.

I don’t know if he remembered me, as we had only met once before and it was several years ago after a Stillman Valley game. I do know that he followed his son’s coaching career with

great joy.

Football had what brought my dad and I on this trip and the same for Mike and his dad.

That’s where we’ll pick this story back up. At a football game, six months later and 150 miles from Champaign.

St. Joe-Ogden rebounded from a 2-2 start to give coach Dick Duval his 23rd straight playoff appearance. Not only that, but they would be playing for a state championship Nov. 29 against Stillman Valley, a traditional power that had to recover from two late season losses and a rugged trip through the playoffs.

Mr. Lalor, who had been to virtually all of Mike’s games at Stillman, would not be attending. Feeling weak for the past few months, he was admitted to the hospital that morning.

Dalton Walsh, the quarterback from St. JoeOgden, also knew what it was like to be in a hospital.

Three years ago after a

freshman football jamboree at a neighboring school, a utility pole with a transformer fell on top of him, his mother and grandfather. It was a freak accident that caused him head injuries and tragically killed his mother.

Mr. Lalor did get released from the hospital later that day, but would be unable to share the experience of a state championship game at DeKalb with his son. He was able to watch it on TV. Though Mr. Lalor was cheering for his son’s team to win, I bet he couldn’t help but marvel at the brilliant performance of Dalton Walsh that night at Huskie Stadium.

In a dramatic conclusion that left both head coaches emotionally drained, Stillman held on for the win.

Mike Lalor knew the win would brighten the spirits of his father, but he was torn over what it was doing to his good friend and mentor, coach Duval of St. Joe. He wasn’t even sure how to

approach him or what to say to offer comfort.

As far as state championships go, this one was bittersweet for Lalor.

Blinding staring off into space, Duval was visibly devastated and suffering could be seen in his eyes.

This was a man who put his heart and soul into St. JoeOgden football for 26 years and would probably never have another chance to play for a state title.

Football may bring dads and sons like the Lalors together, but it will emotionally tear you up, as the people from St. Joe-Ogden were painfully experiencing.

However, one young man seemed to be doing okay.

That was Dalton Walsh.

My dad and I were on the field after the game and again by chance, came upon him.

He remembered us and we chatted, much the same way we did in April.

Even in the loss, he was upbeat and generous with

his time. He was thankful for being part of a team, as he explained, that got SJO football back on the map.

I too was thankful for being able to view life from a snapshot first clicked in 1963 as a 5-year old kid at a football field St. Joseph and how circumstances 50 years later can still play out the memory of that photo.

The Byron Police Department announces the recent results of Byronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tobacco compliance checks.

These compliance checks are performed to determine if local tobacco retailers are complying with state minimum age tobacco laws which prohibit the sale of tobacco to minors.

With the help from a grant awarded by the Illinois Liquor Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Buy â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Em Hereâ&#x20AC;?

the age of their customers while conducting compliance checks of area tobacco retailers.

On Nov. 27, tobacco retailers were inspected in the first of three rounds of compliance checks on all tobacco retailers in the community.

A total of seven tobacco retailers were inspected and all were found to be in compliance of the law by not selling tobacco to a minor.

Police officials feel that the education provided to the retailers has had an impact on the sale of tobacco to underage customers and encourages the retailers to continue their efforts.
