Candlelight Walk is this Saturday Oregon kicks off the holiday season with family-fun events By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Oregon’s Candlelight Walk promises to serve up plenty of family fun on Saturday, Nov. 25. At 3 p.m., Santa will arrive “Oregon Style” at the Coliseum building – chauffer services courtesy of the Oregon Fire Department - to kick off 31st annual event. “It’s hard to believe that Candlelight Walk is celebrating 31 years, and our fabulous team of volunteers is busy preparing for this year’s event,” said Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Debbie Dickson. “We remind everyone that the festivities begin at 3 p.m., and be sure to check out our latest attraction - HoHoHo Let’s GoGoGo at businesses located on Washington Street.” Special attractions include free wagon rides from 4 p.m. until approximately 7:30 p.m., departing from the north side of the Oregon Coliseum on Franklin Street. Please note that this is on a first come, first served situation. A live reindeer exhibit will be located in the Central Bank drive thru, at the corner of Franklin and Third Street. Candy Cane Lane, located on Franklin Street between

Third and Fourth Streets, offers outdoor strolling and food options. Fire stands, designed, built and donated by E.D. Etnyre & Company for the 30th anniversary of Candlelight Walk, will offer warming stations during the evening festivities. What’s a “Red Bow Sponsor”? Red Bow Sponsors are those folks who not only contribute to the cost of “producing” the festival – the nuts and bolts portion necessary to keeping Oregon’s Annual Candlelight Walk alive – but also open their doors for extended hours during this event, many of them offering their own “in store” drawing to folks who patronize their business that evening. Without the participation of these businesses, individuals, and organizations, this event would cease to exist. The businesses with these red bows on display are participating in Candlelight Walk so when you register for the special prize drawing offered by these businesses, your name will also go into the grand prize drawing for a $250 Candlelight Cash Shopping Spree. The lucky Grand Prize winner will be able to spend their “Candlelight Cash”

Cause of fatal house fire not yet determined By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The cause of the Nov. 10 fatal house fire in Leaf River has not yet been determined. Firefighter Gregory Wood, 19, died in the early morning blaze, and two of his family members were seriously injured. “Officially it’s still under investigation,” Ogle County Detective Brian Ketter said Monday morning. “We’re waiting for the state fire marshal’s office to finish their investigation. At this point it’s not at all suspicious.” He said the fire started in the downstairs along the west wall of the living room. Leaf River Fire Chief Steve Shelton said Gregory’s father, Marcus, 43, and brother, Travis, 16, were recently released from the Rockford hospitals where they were treated for burns and smoke inhalation. “Marcus was released yesterday [Saturday], and

Travis a couple of days ago,” Shelton said Sunday afternoon. Marcus is the deputy fire chief, and Travis is a cadet firefighter. Gregory’s mother Nicole, an EMT, was treated and released from the hospital on the day of the fire. Gregory, a 2017 graduate of Forreston High School, had recently successfully completed EMT classes. An autopsy last week determined he died from smoke inhalation. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, Nov. 25 at 1 p.m. with the visitation beginning at 10:30 a.m., both at the River Valley Complex, 605 Main St., Leaf River. Shelton said the team investigating the fire included the Illinois State Fire Marshal’s Office, Illinois State Police Crime Scene Investigation, Ogle County Sheriff’s Department, and an insurance company. Shelton, who lives across the street from the Wood home, said he was awakened

In This Week’s Edition...

at about 12:40 a.m. on Nov. 10 when members of the Wood family pounded on his door for help. At that point, he said, the entire front of the two-story frame house was in flames. He said he and his son Aaron, also a firefighter, immediately went to the fire station. When they arrived back on the scene minutes later with a firetruck, the house was totally engulfed. “Basically there were flames coming from every window of the house,” he said. The Wood family rented the house from Lazette Rasmussen, of Steward. Fifteen area fire departments responded with mutual aid. Neighboring fire departments have been covering Leaf River’s fire calls and manning the station since the fire. The Leaf River Fire Department has set up a fund at German American State Bank, German Valley, to assist the Wood family.

The Mt. Morris Village Board agreed to look into how it can help fend off an increasingly out-of-control feral cat situation. During the Nov. 14 board meeting, Mt. Morris resident Melinda Cox, with support from Police Chief Jason White, presented to the board an initiative in dealing with the increasing feral cat population, involving seeking donations to cover costs. “I don’t think we can take action on this tonight,” said Village President Dan Elsasser. “We do need to have some discussion on it — if it’s coming out of the budget, what budget is it coming out of, and that’s what I need to figure out,” said Phil Labash, Finance Committee Chairman. Cox said that she’s more looking for members around the community to help cover costs of trapping, spaying, neutering, and administering rabies vaccinations to the cats in an effort to fend off the large colonies in the 200 block of West First Street, the southwest corner of the village near Lowell Park Road, and west of the village near Ill. 64. Cox estimates the western colony has around 40 feral cats, and the colony at First Street is around 15. White said the southwest colony has recently diminished to around six, but can repopulate very quickly if left alone. “A kitten can become pregnant around four months old,” said Cox. The initiative involves Cox taking traps, both her own and any donated from the county or citizens, and capturing cats from the colonies. Cox claimed she could try to capture as many as 15 to 20 in a day. Once captured, Emily Schier, a veterinarian at Pines Meadow Veterinary Clinic, Oregon, is volunteering her time to spay, neuter, and administer rabies vaccinations to the cats brought in. Treatment for diseases will be on an as-needed basis. Schier said it’s not just about trying to keep cats from being a general nuisance, it’s about keeping the community healthy. “Not only are the colonies themselves unhealthy and diseased, but they spread those illnesses outwards,” said Schier. “Your own pets are in danger of catching diseases and parasites if this is left unchecked.”

Clarification

An article in last week’s paper said Oregon resident Marine Kuethe voiced dislike for the proposed South Sixth Street location for a new Ogle County Jail. Kuethe said what she is opposed to is closing the street and building a sally port that connects the new jail to the judicial center.

PAW Patrol coming to Candlelight Walk By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Owners of three businesses at Washington Corner are doing their best to draw more of the Oregon Candlelight Walk crowd downtown Nov. 25. Besides holiday snacks and bargains, Gramma’s Attic, Creative Designs, and Niki Hunt Photography will have live mannequins in their front windows and a visit from the PAW Patrol. Skye, one of the characters on the animated television series, will be on hand to greet the kids who come downtown for the annual holiday event on Saturday, Nov. 25 from 3 to 8 p.m. At Gramma’s Attic, visitors can sign up to win a stuffed Skye, a cockapoo

turned aviator, or a teddy bear that’s almost as big as store owner Sharon Bocker. “There’s a lot going on in town and I like it,” Bocker said. “We’re hoping for a good turnout. People have been gravitating toward Conover and the Coliseum. They need to come downtown, too.” Bocker opened her resale shop last February and offers clothes and accessories for men, women and children of all ages. She will have specials just for Candlelight Walk. “Angel Ball is just around the corner, and I have dresses and suits for that,” she said. Next door at Niki Hunt Photography, Hunt is looking forward to her fourth Candlelight Walk, the second at her current location at Washington Corner. “I enjoy the whole

process,” she said. Hunt has already won two awards for the best-dressed window at Candlelight Walk She was the first to have live mannequins in her window three years ago and the idea has caught on. “That’s something everyone is going to do this year,” she said. Hunt specializes in senior portraits and offers a complete photography experience from a style consultation to doing hair and make-up before the portrait sitting, and well as helping her clients design their photo displays afterward. She also does family photos. “I want to help them find things that fit their lives and their homes,” she said. “It’s about making memories.” For anyone wanting a warm

memory, the answer may be two doors down at Creative Designs, where owner Carol Bellows will be selling her handmade quilts. She will also have 20 percent off on the clothing she sells. Besides that, visitors can watch her long arm quilting machine at work, as well as her custom embroidery machine doing its job. “Power tools with thread is what I call them,” she said with a grin. Her sister-in-law Gig Bellows will offer her handcrafted jewelry in her shop as well. Bellows has done custom embroidery for 16 years and added long arm quilting nine years ago. She moved from Pines Sharon Bocker, owner of Gramma’s Attic in Washington Road to Washington Corner Corner, holds Skye, the PAW Patrol stuffed animal she two years ago. will be giving away at Candlelight Walk Nov. 25.

Potato bar at DUMC to benefit two church missions Disciples United Methodist Church, on the corner of Hitt Street and Maple Avenue in Mt. Morris, will host a potato bar on Sunday, Dec. 3 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the fellowship hall of the church. The meal will be complete with baked potatoes, assorted toppings, relishes, beverages, and a dessert bar, The freewill donations received from this event will all go to support two missions that DUMC has supported for several years. One of the missions, Heifer International, has become the DUMC Sunday School children’s annual mission project. Heifer is an excellent

mission for the children to support. They explore some the projects offered through Heifer to understand the needs of the people and how the projects help improve the lives of the families receiving their support. This year they are studying various Heifer projects that benefit families in the United States. The money they raise throughout this Sunday School year, including monies from the Dec. 3 potato bar, will go toward the U.S. Heifer projects they select. The second mission that will benefit from the potato

bar donations is a part of Bill Hare’s Honduras Mission. The second project is raising funds to pay the school fees for about 90 Las Palmas, Honduras, school children to insure that they are able to begin their new school year on time when school begins again in February of 2018. Honduran school fees not only provide the supplies the children need for the school year, but the fees also provide a nutritional meal for the children each day they attend school. In a farming community that is in the eighth year of drought conditions, this is a crucial support for these Proceeds of the potato bar at Disciples United Methodist Church will aid families Honduran children. through the Honduras Mission.

Tax appeals filed again for printing and nuclear plants By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Among the 56 property tax appeals recently filed in Ogle County are two companies that protest their assessments almost every year. Exelon Generation Co., LLC has filed an appeal of the assessment of its Byron Generating Station, and Mt. Morris Business Park LLC has objected to the assessed value set for the former Quad Graphics printing plant in Mt.

Morris. Supervisor of Assessments Jim Harrison said the number of appeals filed is normal compared to other years. “A few others were filed earlier, primarily residential, but those have been resolved with the township assessors,” he said. “This is a typical number, maybe on the low side in comparison to some years.” The assessments were published in local newspapers in late September and the deadline to file an appeal was

Oct. 30. Exelon officials are asking that the current assessment of $546 million is reduced to $308.9 million. The plant’s value, set this fall by Harrison, is identical to the amount set a year ago, which was upheld by the Ogle County Board of Review last January. Attorneys for the utility company argued then that the plant’s assessment should decrease due to economic conditions and the plant’s age.

The two reactors came online in 1985 and 1987 and were licensed for 40 years. Both were granted 20-year license extensions in 2015. This year Exelon paid $37.6 million in real estate taxes to 11 taxing bodies, which include the Byron School District, Ogle County, Rockvale Township, Oregon School District, Oregon Park District, Byron Fire District, Rock Valley College, Byron Public Library District, Byron Museum District, Byron Forest Preserve District, and Kishwaukee Community College. More than $19 million of that went to the Byron School District. The value of the plant has frequently been disputed throughout the history of the facility. Currently several recent appeals are pending before the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board. Commonwealth Edison, which formerly owned the plant, filed its first tax in 1989 when the assessment was more than $1 billion. The following year,

the affected taxing bodies formed the Ogle County Intergovernmental Agency Board to fight the tax appeals. While most assessments are set at one-third of fair market value, a 1998 agreement between Commonwealth Edison and the taxing bodies dictates that only 48.15 percent of the nuclear plant’s fair market value will be used in determining its assessed value. Mt. Morris Business Park LLC, Downey, California, which has no connection to the Village of Mt. Morris, purchased the printing plant property from Quad Graphics in 2015 and have filed annual appeals since then. Company officials are appealing the assessment on only one of the three parcels that make up the plant site. That parcel, where the large sprawling building is located, is assessed at $895,912, identical to last year’s value. The owners contend the parcel should be assessed at $122,761, also the same as last year. The two undisputed parcels are assessed at $10,359 and

$200. Affected taxing bodies include the Village of Mt. Morris, Oregon School District, Mt. Morris Township, Mt. Morris Fire Protection District, Ogle County, Mt. Morris Public Library District, and Highland Community College District. The BOR has upheld previous assessments. Quad Graphics closed the printing plant in 2011, and have used it as a warehouse since then, renting it from the current owners since it changed hands. Among the other tax appeals filed are one from Illinois River Energy LLC for its ethanol plant in Rochelle, and Generation at Neighbors its rehabilitation and skilled nursing facility in Byron. Illinois River Energy is asking for the ethanol plant’s assessment of $21.8 million to be cut to $10 million. Neighbors is asking that its assessment of $2.7 million is cut to $698,660. The BOR is expected to hear the all appeals in January.

Earth Angels seeks holiday donations Eich Trust makes gift to Focus House Cheryl Lynn Eich, of Rochelle and Ashton, passed away on March 13, 2015 and designated in her will that the Foundation for Focus House receive a generous donation for use in programming. Knowing of Eichâ€™s passion for music and kids the Foundation Board decided to use the bequest for a music program at the Focus House. The music program originally began as a â€œUkulele Projectâ€? sparked by a donation of two ukuleleâ€™s by a private donor and the interest and curiosity of a Focus House counselor, Becca Moser. â€œThe idea is that ukuleles are relatively easy to learn to play and are affordable, so the kids are more likely to continue with the hobby after they transition out of the Focus House,â€? said Moser. Through the generous bequest from Eich, the Foundation has been able

Oregon police to take part in No Shave November Funds raised to battle cancer The Oregon Police Department is participating in the No Shave November Campaign to raise funds to fight cancer. No-Shave November is a month-long journey during which participants forgo shaving and grooming in order to evoke conversation and raise cancer awareness. Police Chief Darin DeHaan lifted the department’s grooming policy and to allow officers to grow a beard. Along with the police officers, two Oregon Commissioners, Terry Schuster and Kurt Wilson, are taking part. Donations are being

accepted to support the Prevent Cancer Foundation, Fight Colorectal Cancer, and St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. To donate, go to no-shave. org/team/oregonpd. Contributors can donate to the team or click on a team member’s page and donate to the individual. The public can also go to the Oregon Police Department Facebook page and see pictures of the officers’ progress and get information to donate. Last year the department set a goal of $2,000 and surpassed it. “We again would like to beat our goal of $2,000 and raise as many donations as we can for this great cause,” said officer Matt Kalnins.

The charges stem from the death of Megan Wells, 31, Rockford, who was killed on June 24, 2016 when a johnboat Mongan was operating struck her when it went over the back of the pontoon boat she was riding in, throwing her overboard.

The collision occurred around 8:40 p.m. on the Rock River three miles north of Oregon. On a motion from special prosecutor David Neal, from the Illinois State’s Attorney’s Appellate Prosecutor’s office, Redington dismissed six related misdemeanor charges against Mongan. Those included operating a watercraft while under the influence of alcohol, reckless operation of a watercraft, improper passing when approaching a boat, reckless operation of a watercraft, and two counts of careless operation of a watercraft. Redington also granted a motion from Mongan’s attorney David Tess, of Rochelle, for a continuance on pretrial motions. Tess said the prosecution presented him with new discovery information just before the hearing. “Until we have a chance to look over that discovery, we don’t want

to proceed,” he said. Redington set a hearing for Dec. 19 to consider the motions. Wells, the mother of three small children, was a passenger on a pontoon boat operated by her uncle David Daily, 53, Leaf River, when the collision with Mongan’s boat occurred. Daily and the other passengers on his boat, Phillip Lukes, 53, Chicago; and Sherry Bushre, 60, Chicago, refused treatment at the scene, as did Mongan. Nicholas Lamb, 30, Oregon, a passenger in Mongan’s boat was injured and taken to a Rockford hospital. During the hearing, Redington denied motions presented by Rockford attorney Chester Chostner that Wells’ husband Robbie Wells and her former husband Erik Langholf are named crime victims in the case. Chostner argued that Megan’s

three children — a daughter with Wells and two sons with Langholf — are suffering ill effects from the loss of their mother and are undergoing counseling. Redington said Chostner’s motions as presented do not meet the requirements of the law. “The law is very specific,” he said. “They [Wells and Langholf] must have suffered direct physical or psychological harm.” Rockford attorney Cynthia Koroll, who represents Megan Wells’ parents David and Robin Swaziek, Loves Park, then withdrew motions to have Daily, Lukes, and Bushre declared crime victims. The Swazieks have already been named crime victims in the case. An Ogle County Grand Jury failed to indict Mongan last December on felony charges of operating a watercraft under the influence of alcohol and

aggravated reckless operation of a watercraft. Subsequently Ogle County State’s Attorney Eric Morrow filed two misdemeanor charges and four more were added in July. The Swazieks have been highly critical of Morrow’s handling of the case and in their behalf, Koroll filed motions in June asking for a special prosecutor. Redington, however, denied those motions, saying the allegations were sufficient to warrant the appointment of a special prosecutor to either investigate Morrow or prosecute Mongan. Then in August at Morrow’s request, Redington appointed Neal to prosecute the case. Mongan is also facing three civil lawsuits, one filed by Robbie Wells, another filed by Lukes and Bushre, and a third filed by Daily and his wife Leigh.

Building that houses Chana’s Post Office to be auctioned By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The building that houses the Chana Post Office at 300 Main St. in Chana will go on the auction block on Saturday, Dec. 2. A sign in front of the building announces the sale which begins at 10:30 a.m. and will be handled by auctioneer Joel Prestegaard, of Creston.

Both property owner Ruthanne Canfield and Oregon Postmaster Paul Tegeler declined to comment on the sale or the future of the post office at that site. Sale information says the postal service has a lease until June of 2018 on the downstairs of the two-story frame building. The upper story is a fourbedroom apartment. In the last 16 years, the

post office in Chana has faced closing twice as part of budget cuts proposed by the U.S. Postal Service. The most recent time was in November of 2011 and prior to that in 2001. The post office serves the village of Chana and the surrounding area. It has one full-time staff member. The rural route is handled through the Oregon Post The building that houses the Chana Post Office will be up for sale at a public auction on Saturday, Dec. 2. Photo by Earleen Hinton Office.

The Oregon FFA Chapter is gearing up for another Christmas season filled with the smell of fresh pine, an open log fire, and the laughs of Santa and Mrs. Claus in the background. The tree lot will open on Friday, Nov. 24 at the Sinnissippi Farm and Forest, 3122 S. Lowden Rd., Oregon, with special hours from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Students have been working year round with trimming, watering, and maintaining the tree farm to

give the customers one of the best years of selections they ever seen. A variety of new trees offered, ranging from Scotch pine fresh to white pine.

I hope the whole community will enjoy the sight of our great American flag and that it will be a grand landmark for visitors and residents to see as they cross the bridge into Oregon. And may it also be a symbol of our appreciation for all veterans and for all those serving in the military who keep us safe and free. God bless the United States of America! Thanks again, Lou Vander Wyst Oregon

Public Voice Enzler seeking more facts about new jail Dear Editor, The proposed size and location of the new jail lacks a factual basis. Of the seven Illinois counties that have a population no greater than twice that of Ogle, only one, in which a state prison is located, has a larger jail than that proposed in Ogle. Even the new jails being built in Adams and DeKalb Counties will have fewer beds than Ogle. Ogle County is losing population and the crime rate is decreasing. (See editor’s note below.) Why is the proposed jail to be almost doubled in size? It will also be used to temporarily house federal prisoners awaiting transfer to federal facilities and detainees awaiting deportation. In my opinion, this information has not been adequately publicized or addressed. The size and uses of this building make a small

downtown residential location inappropriate and illogical. As a city council member said, past experience is the best predictor of future experience. There are many “what ifs,” but what are the experiences that justify the size and location of this facility and rule out compromise and other options? The board made it clear they were seeking community input. The procedure for closing a street in Oregon was recognized and accepted by the county board. When a super majority vote was not reached, due to two council members listening to their constituents and other community members, the board chose to try to intimidate the city by threatening to sue it. The city council made a decision and the county board needs to accept it, even if it did not go the way they hoped. To do otherwise, is ignoring community input and undermining the democratic process. Cindy Enzler Oregon

(Editor’s note: The Illinois State Police index crime offenses shows an increase in crimes committed in Ogle County from 2014 to 2015, which are the latest figures available.)

Thank you from Conover Square Dear Editor, As the owner of Conover Square, I deeply appreciate all the support from the community. The tremendous turnout at the flag dedication ceremony was a great way to bring the two-year Love Our Flag project to a close. I would like to thank all those who had a hand in helping with the repairs and siding of the south wall. The cost of removing the deteriorating stucco siding, repairing the structure underneath, and installing new siding was beyond the financial capability of Conover Square. Several years ago, I had the idea of creating a huge American flag on the south wall and after researching the

siding options, determined that horizontal steel siding would be the most cost effective, low maintenance, long lasting material and would work best with the flag design. But that dream would not have been realized without the financial donations of Oregon citizens and businesses and the help of many volunteers. Commonwealth Edison created a safe working environment and Tip Top Roofing & Construction did a great job with the repairs and siding installation. The Hands On Oregon group was instrumental in getting the project completed and a very generous anonymous donor made it all possible.

Ogle County board is expected to OK jail contract By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Plans for Ogle Countyâ€™s new jail were expected to take a step ahead Tuesday when the county board considered a contract with HOK, a Chicago architectural and planning firm. Due to early deadlines for Thanksgiving, coverage of the meeting will appear in the Nov. 30 edition. The agenda for the Nov.

21 meeting included a resolution for approval of a 60-plus page contract with Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum, Inc. to design a 70-square-foot jail facility in the 100 block of South Sixth Street across from the countyâ€™s judicial center. Also on the agenda was a resolution to hire Raymond James for underwriting the purchase and sale of bonds for financing the new jail. In September the board approved issuing bonds not

to exceed $28 million for the project. The agenda also included a closed session, presumably for discussion of ongoing negotiations with the City of Oregon for the closure of a block of South Sixth Street between the judicial center and the jail site. The county board requested that the city council close the block to allow the new jail to be connected to the judicial center via a sally port.

The city council rejected the countyâ€™s request to close the street on June 27, even though a majority voted for it. Three of the five city council members voted to grant the countyâ€™s request to vacate the street. However, according to state statute, a super majority of four votes was required for the measure to pass. County board chairman Kim Gouker, of Byron, confirmed Oct. 17 that the

Crowd turns out for flag dedication at Conover Stationary flag appears on side of Conover By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Despite the cold wind, around 100 people gathered at Conover Square in Oregon Saturday to dedicate what may be the second largest stationary American flag in the nation. Hands On Oregon President Rick Ryland told the bundled-up audience that as far as he has determined the only flag larger than Conover’s 60x30-footer is one in Florida that’s twice as big. The flag on Conover’s south side was completed last week, just in time to be dedicated on Veterans Day. Oregon VFW Commander Robert Coulter praised the project. “Everyone can see the City of Oregon values freedom and Americanism,” he told the crowd after the VFW rifle squad fired a 21-gun salute and member Stan Asp played “Taps.” Oregon Mayor Ken Williams said need for repairs to Conover came up in conversation with Ryland about two years ago. Ryland, he said immediately got to work, and within days came up with a

drawing for the building’s sagging south side, complete with the giant flag. “When I saw the drawing, I thought ‘That’s a big flag,’” he said. “When honoring America and our veterans, it’s no time to think small.” Ryland credited Oregon resident Marine Kuethe with coming up with the idea for the flag and asked her, Coulter, and Williams to join him for the dedication ceremony, officiated by Rev. Kale Aluli, who was also the keynote speaker. HOO, a not-for-profit, was formed in 2015 by Ryland and Jeff Hallock with the purpose of enriching the lives of Oregon citizens through local caring and creating excitement through volunteerism. As their first project, they chose repairing the south wall of Conover Square, which was bowed out and sagging, endangering the building’s future. Above, the 60x30 foot American flag on the south side of Conover Square was dedicated on Nov. 11. Below, Rev. Besides providing Kale Aluli, left, reads the dedication of the American flag on the south side of Conover Square while Rick Ryland, volunteer labor, HOO Marine Kuethe, Robert Coulter, and Ken Williams join hands. Photos by Vinde Wells undertook fund-raising for the project, and over the months donations came in from individuals, businesses, and organizations, including an anonymous contributor whose gifts totaled $165,000. Besides Ryland and Hallock, other HOO members are Fran and Clint Strouse, Sharon Wallace, Roselani Aluli-James, Lee Hadick, Joanne Reisner, and Lou VanderWyst.

Coach upbeat about upcoming basketball season By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecountynews.com The 2017-18 boys basketball season will challenge coach Quinn Virgil’s creative talents unlike any other season he’s had before. Here are some of the roadblocks in his way. Because of only 20 players in the program, he is forced to conduct a joint practice for the first time. With five seniors, of whom only three have any experience, and two juniors, underclassmen will be needed to fill out the varsity roster. By bringing up freshmen and sophomores, the fresh-soph team will be depleted and not be able to develop as it normally would. And by the way, there is not any semblance of a post player. Still, the 10th year (109-148) coach is upbeat about the season. “Though we are light on numbers, everyone is working hard and getting along with each other,” Virgil said. “The first week has truly been fun.” What about not having anyone in the post? “That’s a first for my career,” laughed Virgil. “We’ll have to switch things up and maybe do a 4-around-1 (run motion around one player at that position). We’ll post multiple people up at that spot.” To keep opponents off balance, Oregon

Jared Pottroff

Dalton Hermes

will do a lot of switching on defense too. “We’ll have different game plans depending on who we play,” Virgil said. “A lot more adjustments will be made game to game.” It could be a youth movement, will sophomore Trey Woolsey, Riker Finch and freshman Gatlin Good slated to see considerable time on varsity. Woolsey is one of the top Hawk prospects to come along in recent memory. He made a splash on the varsity last year and has hit the weight room and gym to get better. For his efforts, he has been made a team captain, a rarity for a sophomore. “Trey has a huge upside,” Virgil said. “He’s improved his jump shot, is long and athletic. He’s a gym rat that works hard every day to get stronger and better.” The other players with varsity experience

Trey Woolsey

are seniors Jared Pottorff, Cody Ebens, Austin Wilson and junior Dalton Hermes. “Jared’s a good shooter and Austin is our defenders. Both have worked hard,” Virgil said. “Dalton’s gotten stronger in the off season. He’s going to have to score for us.” Jackson Buck has gotten taller and will contribute as a shooting guard. “Hermes and Buck are only juniors. That grade has hurt us,” Virgil said. Finch stands 6-2 and has come a long way after not playing basketball in junior high. Virgil will lean on his athletic ability and hopefully develop him into a top-flight player the next three years. Good comes highly regarded from junior high and will take some time to adjust to varsity play, but like Woolsey, had a great upside.

“He’s very athletic and is trying to learn and absorb what is being said,” Virgil said. Seniors Reyes Carreno and Jaspreet Gill will also see time. At 6-2, expect Gill in the post, while the 5-8 Carreno will play guard. Besides having a depleted roster, Oregon has the double whammy of playing in what is shaping up to be a much-improved Big Northern conference. “Winnebago will be phenomenal,” Virgil said. “Lutheran has the best player (Kenny Strawbridge). Byron is very good and also got in a transfer that will help them. Dixon returns everyone and Rock Falls will be decent. As conference champs, Rockford Christian could be a load.” Though Oregon downgraded its nonconference slate to smaller schools the last couple of years, it will still be difficult. “Indian Creek, Polo and Forreston will all be tough this year,” Virgil said. After several years of playing in the Sterling Newman Holiday Tournament, Orego dropped out and will take a break at Christmas. They have added the South Beloit MLK tourney. The first games will this week at their own Thanksgiving tournament. Since it is both fresh-soph and varsity, Virgil will have to decide whom to place where. “The rest of the year, there may be some sophomores that come up to varsity after their game is finished,” Virgil said.

Cardinals fall to Le-Win 12-8 in 1A semis By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com In a highly anticipated 1A semifinal, Forreston’s vaunted ground game ran into a brickwall Saturday in the form of Lena-Winslow’s front four on defense. Forced to go to Plan B, the defending state champ Cardinals nearly pulled off a come-from-behind win, but lost 12-8. “It’s no secret,” L-W defensive coordinator Kevin Milder said. “Our front four is the best I’ve ever coached. They set the tone for us.” With Ian Kuehl, Michael Jones, Parker Magee, and Isaiah Bruce clogging up the middle, Forreston had to revert to a combination of passing and outside runs to gain any traction. That was almost enough for Forreston to pull out the win. With less than a minute to play and down 12-8, Forreston quarterback Hunter Daws found AJ Christensen with a long pass at the L-W 5-yard line. Christensen leaped high but not enough to corral the pass, the only time the entire afternoon the all-stater did not make an athletic catch in traffic Then facing fourth-and-7, Daws went to a wide-open Sam Barkalow, only to see Sean Ormiston race over to make a one-handed interception. It was Ormiston’s second interception of the fourth quarter. “I was no less nervous on those two passes than I was the previous 48 minutes,” L-W coach Ric Arand said. “What a great game. We stopped the run and made them pass. Shutting down the run – that’s the name of the game.” The Panthers took control early, driving down the field on 69 and 80-yard drives on their first two possessions for a 12-0 lead early in the second quarter. With L-W facing a thirdand-10 on the first drive after two Valentine carried for no gain, Forreston was hurt by a dead-ball unsportsmanlike penalty that set up a firstand-10 at the 17, with

Ormiston scoring from a yard out six plays later. “That was a touchy call,” Forreston coach Denny Diduch said. “I’d love to have that first series back.” L-W gave Forreston a taste of what was ahead by forcing a 3-and-out. Taking over after a punt, Valentine’s 17th carry of the game set up a 27-yard touchdown pass from Ty Chrisman to Gaige Schwartz, who outran the coverage for a 12-0 lead. “We didn’t match them physically,” Diduch said. Desperate for something to happen, Diduch rolled the dice on fourth-and-8 near midfield and Christensen responded with an 11-yard pass reception. Later in the same drive on a fourth-and-9, it was Christensen with an NFLcaliber catch near the sideline for a first down.

Sports Column 1A playoff game did not disappoint By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Did the Forreston-LenaWinslow football game meet all its hype? You bet. In a game worthy of statechampionship pedigree, it was small-school football at it finest. Not only did you have star power in AJ Christensen and Rahveon Valentine, but the supporting cast lived up to the billing too. Find me another 1A game as physical as this. It’s a cliché, but worth repeating and that is the loser of this game has nothing to be ashamed of. Personally, I thought Forreston would win by a couple touchdowns and that is no way a knock on LeWin

In analyzing the first game, Forreston was on the verge of breaking a few plays wide open, but were held in check. Additionally, there were missed assignments and tackles on defense that gave up points. Thus, I reasoned the athleticism of the Cardinals would give them a decided advantage. My biggest fear came true, though, and that was Le-Win dominating the line of scrimmage. I also didn’t take into account sophomore Sean Ormiston, who had 10 tackles to go along with his two picks. With him and manchild Isaiah Bruce having two more years, look out NUIC foes. But, Forreston has a load of talent coming back, such as Garett Badertscher, Mitchell Heinz, Evan Kelsey, Hunter Rogers and many others. Back in August, when all of us were busy predicting

an easy romp to the state title for Forreston, none of us socalled media prognosticators took into account the growth and maturity factor. Le-Win coach Ric Arand did. After the first game between the two teams this year, I asked how a 44-7 loss in 2016 changed into a 28-14 win in 2017? Introspectively, he said that Forreston graduated more in the line and his team improved more. Coach Knew More That’s one of the many reasons why coaches know more than the casual fan. Could it be also that the Forreston kids were so good as juniors, that their growth track had a ceiling, keeping in mind how difficult it is to measure such thing. So, we’ll just leave it at conjecture, but Arand was on to something. With two wins over the Cardinals, his theory on

the improvement of the two teams from one year to the next was not a fluke. During the 2015 track season, P/F coach Ryan Deets made a point to tell me about a freshman hurdler he had who was as competitive as anyone he’s been around. That kid was AJ Christensen and after watching his performance Saturday, it’s easy to see why Deets felt that way. Spectacular is the word used to describe what Christensen did all afternoon. He was not going to be denied and made plays that 99 percent of people can’t. What a joy it was to watch him compete at the highest level and all of us fans will miss the excitement he brought everytime he touched the ball. Personally, I’m also going to miss seniors Gavin Fuchs and Sam Barkalow for the insightful and articulate comments after games. Both had maturity about

them seldom seen in high schoolers. While we’re giving plugs for both sides, add Valentine to that list. He’s speaks from the heart in interviews with praise for both teams. Important Play Every game has a play in it that doesn’t show up in the scorebook, but is critically important at the time. One such play for Forreston was made by Cade Kuelling. With L-W up 12-0 and Forreston having run only four plays, a squib kick went in Kuelling’s direction. With several L-W players ready to pounce on the loose ball, Kuelling barely managed to fall on it. Had L-W recovered at that point in the game, it could have been disastrous. Sometimes it’s the little things that matter. Off the field, credit needs to go to a person from Orangeville, who won the 50/50 drawing, worth several

hundred dollars. He gave pretty much gave all of it back to both schools’ athletic programs and to the Crase family. It was an outpouring of support from all of the NUIC for Forreston in their time of sorrow, further enhancing its reputation as one of elite small-school leagues in the state.
