SPECIAL EVENT

Farm Stroll offers look at local agriculture Perfect fall weather brings out a crowd

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com Aronia berries hit the spot with eightyear-old Abigail Kalnins, 8, of Chana.

“Love them,” she said as she filled her mouth with the small dark purple berries straight from the bush at BerryView Orchard, northwest of Mt. Morris, one of seven stops Sunday on the Ogle County Farm Stroll.

Her mother Lynne Kalnins laughed.

“At first she thought they were too tart,” she said.

“I like them now,” replied Abigail, grabbing another handful.

Her 2-year-old brother Jonas held out a chubby purple-stained hand.

“Jonas likes to smash them as you can see by his hands,” said Kalnins with a grin.

She and her husband Matt and another daughter Caroline, 3, were taking in the Farm Stroll and all it had to offer.

“We’re just out enjoying the day,” she said.

The berries, also known as black chokeberry, ripen around Labor Day and were at their peak for steady stream of visitors who turned out to learn more about local agriculture and enjoy perfect fall weather.

Jeff and Julie Warren, owners of BerryView, have been raising aronia berries since 2010 and now have 1,600 bushes in production.

The berries are juicy with an astringent flavor and can be eaten fresh, on salads, blended into smoothies, or mixed with other fruits in jellies, baked goods, yogurt, sorbet, or juice blends.

The Warrens also raise apple trees in their u-pick orchard, and visitors were buying bags of crisp Cortland apples before they continued on the Farm Stroll.

Jeff said they planted 600 new trees in 2017 and another 50 this year, and as soon as they mature will offer golden delicious, gala, honey crisp, and jonagold apples.

Along with the bright red Cortlands, visitors could buy rhubarb-aronia and cherry-aronia jelly and aronia-apple crisp to take home or pick up a pumpkin or two grown by Warren’s nine-year-old grandson Henry.

Farther west at Centennial Acres, southwest of Forreston, Matt and Emily Williams were offering visitors, both young and older, a taste of the country on horseback.

Little Bryn Hardin, 3, of Polo, was decked out in her Disney Princess helmet for her very first horseback ride.

Wyatt Sosa, of Oregon, rides a horse at Centennial Acres during the Farm Stroll on Sunday. Photo

by Earleen Hinton “She’s infatuated with horses, but I don’t know if she will do it,” said her mother Emily Hardin.

With no hesitation and a big smile, Bryn was up and away for a walk around the paddock with Patty Lynch and Ella Carlock leading the brown horse she was riding.

“My cousin gives riding lessons here and told us we should come,” her mother said. “It’s a beautiful day and these are beautiful horses.”

Centennial Acres has been in Matt Williams’ family for a century and a half. He and his wife Emily purchased it in 2010 and began the task of rehabbing a barn built in the 1860s.

They plan to host an open house on Oct. 13 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the farm being in the family and to

let the public take a look at their riding stable.

The couple has 13 horses in their stable, eight of their own and five they are boarding.

“Our main focus is boarding, lessons, and riding,” Emily Williams said.

Other attractions at the farm on Sunday were chickens, ducks, and a friendly calf named Keebler, who eagerly cooperated with youngsters who offered him a handful of food and a pat on the head.

“He licked me,” exclaimed 3-year-old Rebel Precht, of DeKalb, as the calf ate from her out-stretched hand.

Other places on the Farm Stroll were Dietrich Ranch, Mt. Morris; Hinrichs Farm, Oregon; Irish Lady Farm, Oregon, along with Jen’s Artisan Breads; and White Pines Ranch, Oregon.

FATAL FIRE

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com Illinois State Police Crime Scene investigators and the Illinois State Fire Marshal’s office are assisting the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department with the investigation into the death of a Polo man who was found dead in his home after a fire late Saturday night.

Sheriff Brian VanVickle did not call the death of Keith Fredricks, 81, suspicious Monday afternoon but said further investigation is warranted since the cause of the fire could not be “readily determined.”

Polo Police Chief Kurt Cavanaugh requested the assistance of the sheriff’s department.

Cavanaugh said neighbors called the Polo Fire Department around 11:45 p.m. Saturday after observing the fire which started in an attached garage at Fredricks’ home at 502 W. Buffalo St.

• Friday, September 14, 2018

Elderly Polo man found dead after house fire Firefighters found Fredricks, who lived by himself, dead inside the house.

An autopsy was performed on Monday, but Coroner Lou Finch said the cause of death was not yet available, pending test results.

Fire Chief Tony Karrow said the garage was “fully involved with fire” when firefighters arrived and significant smoke was inside the house.

The fire was out in about 10 minutes, he said, but the house sustained smoke, water, and heat damage.

Fredricks’ car, which was parked in the driveway, was also damaged by the flames and heat.

The siding on the next door neighbor’s was severely damaged as well.

The Mt. Morris, Oregon, Forreston, Milledgeville, Lanark, Dixon Rural, and Dixon City Fire Departments, and Advance Ambulance assisted at the scene.

IN BRIEF Rock River Sweep rescheduled The 2018 Oregon Rock River Sweep has been rescheduled for Saturday, Sept.

29 from 7:30 a.m. to noon.

Check in will begin at 7:30 a.m. at Kiwanis Park, behind Conover Square, at the intersection of North Second Street and Franklin Street.

Volunteers are needed on foot or in boats to clean up a nine mile section of the Rock River, from north of the boat landing on Ill. 2 to the Castle Rock State Park boat landing, for this annual effort to protect and preserve this beautiful local resource.

Originally the event was set for Sept.

8, but flooding made that impossible.

MT. MORRIS VILLAGE BOARD

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com An offer of property prompted the Mt. Morris Village Board Tuesday to ask for a title search.

Village President Dan Elsasser told the board that on behalf of Kable Distribution Services, chief financial officer Bruce Obendorf has offered to give the village an area approximately 60 feet square around the Memorial Fountain on the downtown campus.

He said he and Obendorf have been negotiating what the village would provide in return, but have not yet reached a final agreement.

Village Trustee Jerry Stauffer recommended getting a title search first.

“I think the village may already own that property,” he said.

Stauffer said he believes it is unlikely the local American Legion Post would have built the fountain in 1926 if the village did not own the property.

Retired Kable chief Rob Urish said in 1926 the property wold have been owned by Mt. Morris College, which occupied two blocks in the heart of the village.

Kable bought its portion of the property from the college in 1932, he said.

Village Attorney Rob LeSage said he will initiate the title search to see if the ownership can be determined.

In another matter, Trustee Jeff Pennington said a pump failed in one of the village’s sewer lift stations last week.

“This is pretty important, especially with the crazy weather we’ve been having,” he said.

The only estimate he has received so far puts the cost of replacing the pump at $26,000. Getting the new pump and having it installed will take 10 to 12 weeks, he said.

Pennington asked for “emergency” permission to go ahead with ordering the pump and arranging for its installation instead of waiting another two weeks until the next board meeting.

He said he is expecting at least two more estimates.

LeSage told him that “emergency” permission is not allowed for under state statutes because the matter was not on Tuesday’s agenda, but the board could hold a special meeting to approve the purchase.

Trustee Phil Labash, who is chairman of the Finance Committee, said he would like to have the additional

estimates before a decision is made.

He said the budget for sewer repairs has approximately $65,000 remaining in it, but this purchase will deplete a significant portion of that.

Pennington said the pump that failed was more than 30 years old and cannot be repaired.

The lift station is now being operated by the remaining pump, which is the same age.

“The second pump down there is just as old,” he said. “No one know when it’s going to fail. It’s a ticking time bomb.”

With the amount of rain that fell recently, the remaining pump has run as long as 10 hours per day, he said.

If it fails, too, he said, it could cause sewage to back up in basements in a fairly short time.

SPECIAL EVENT

BY TERRY SCHUSTER Oregon Together More than 150 bicyclists traveled 30 or 50 miles of gravel roads, in the dark of night, through a pouring storm Sept. 2, and then celebrated the unforgettable experience.

They were part of a large cycling sub-culture who loves the challenge of riding gravel roads.

Ogle County has some of the best gravel roads with hills and scenery in Illinois.

It lies close to large metropolitan centers which have no gravel roads, hills, or scenery. Welcome to Ogle County.

This was the second annual Dust at Dusk event organized collaboratively by White Pelican Inc. in Oregon and Stu Garwick, owner of Freeport Cyclery.

This year’s event even attracted Kae Takeshita, of Chicago, one of the top gravel road racing cyclists in the U.S. Scores of riders then stayed to enjoy an after party at Franklin Street Pub. Many participants stayed the night in area campgrounds, hotels, and in community homes which offered sleeping space.

A lot of energy was evident at the registration table in the Conover parking lot as equipment was unloaded and checked.

Riders gathered in groups to share stories and make new friendships.

Local cyclists Dan Libman, Dom Cozzi, and Scott Stephens worked

hard to make everyone feel welcome.

Maps of the 30- and 50-mile routes on roads as far as Polo were handed out.

By the 6 p.m. start time the weather was ominous, with thunder in the north and dark clouds to the west.

Riders on the longer route were engulfed in the storm at the halfway point around 8 p.m.

One rider recalled riding downhill on a gravel road at 25 miles per hour with thunder, wind, and rain lashing at him.

He said it was like bicycling down a rushing brown river.

His comment afterward was, “I can’t wait to return next year.”

They are a tough breed.

By 11 p.m., stories of adventures flowed freely over pizza and beer as the last riders made it back to town.

All agreed it was a great success.

“The ride is a great way to spend night before Labor Day, with the day afterward for recovery,” Cozzi said.

Next year’s ride is again planned for Sunday of Labor Day weekend.

Two additional cycling events are coming to Oregon in the near future.

Ogle County’s largest organized Riders head out on a gravel road during the Dust at Dusk bicycling event. Photo by Scott ride, TOSOC (Tour of Scenic Ogle Stephens County) will be held on Saturday, The next cycling event is Lutheran Nuclear Plant.

“As a result of these volunteers’ years of service and leadership to Illinois 4-H,” Barnard said, “the program they love will continue to create wonderful opportunities for the young people whose lives it touches.”

“The Foundation provides avenues to continue to support the work of Illinois 4-H by accepting financial gifts specifically directed to the program you wish to support,” Barnard said. “Estate planning services are available to those wishing to continue their 4-H legacy.”

Ogle County honored Nancy Etnyre of Oregon. Etnyre grew up in southeast Wisconsin and was involved in 4-H with her mother being a project leader.

Oregon fumbles seven times in loss

BY ROB LAIRD Special to Shaw Media

Jacob Shafer remained efficient throughout, completing 18 of his 25 passes for 133 yards and two touchdowns, including a 7-yard touchdown to Brayden Forrest midway through the fourth quarter to help put a bow on the victory for the Dukes. Christiansen got loose for a 55-yard TD run a little

later, giving him 110 yards on the day, and that was all she wrote.

“When [Shafer] needed to, he played well tonight,” Smith said.

“We knew [Oregon] was going to put pressure on us, and he did well with the pressure.”

Forrest had six catches for 58 yards for Dixon.

• Friday, September 14, 2018

Nolan Randick wasn’t supposed to start at middle linebacker this week, but thrust into a new role, the senior helped lead Dixon to perhaps its best defensive performance of the season in a 27-6 win over Oregon.

The Dukes limited the Hawks to just 115 yards of offense in the game. Randick set the tone with a strip-sack of Oregon quarterback Ryker Finch on the game’s third play; he recovered the fumble for good measure, setting up a 13-yard touchdown run by Tyler Christiansen to give Dixon a lead it would never relinquish.

“That’s how you know you have a healthy program. This young man has paid his dues,” Dixon coach Dave Smith said. “Tonight, he got his shot, and he did a great job. I thought he had a very, very solid game tonight.”

The game was much closer than the final score would indicate.

Dixon’s lead was just 14-6 with less than 6 minutes to go before the Dukes (2-1) finally put the game away with back-to-back scores. “[The final score] was 14-6,” Smith said. “I know it was 27-6, but it was 14-6. We knew Oregon was going to be tough. We knew they are coached tough. They are physical.”

After moving backward in the first quarter – “gaining” minus-12 yards in the frame – the Hawks bulldozed their way back into the game thanks to the bruising backfield combination of Dalton Hermes and Jake Mennen, with the latter plunging in from a yard out to pull Oregon within 14-6 midway through the second quarter.

Mennen, who rushed for 72 yards, was injured on the final play of the first half, and in his absence, the game turned into a defensive struggle for much of the second half.

Oregon did not help its cause by fumbling the ball seven times, including multiple botched pitches or exchanges in the backfield.

“Our kids played fast tonight,” Smith said. “They understand what coaches [Rich] Crabel, [Bruce] Luther, and [John] Heckert want. From the defensive line all the way to the defensive backs, they played well.”

Even during the barren middle quarters, Dixon quarterback

The Hawks were led by sophomore Leah Watters, who finished the 3-mile course in 84th place with a time of 21:03.

Not far behind was team member Cynthia Nyderek with a time of 21:32, placing 107th.

The Sterling and Newman boys cross country teams tied for top honors at the Oregon 7-Person Invitational on Sept. 5 at Oregon Park West.

Each squad amassed 13 points, four fewer than the Illinois Math & Science Academy. Rounding out the field were Rockridge (34), Rochelle (36) and Genoa-Kingston (38).

Michael Bower led Oregon runners with a 25th place finish in 21:24 followed by 26th Conner Harshman, 21:42; 40th Issac Brooks, 23:58; 46th Brandon Hyde-Jones, 28:32; and 47th Charles Gatz, 28:39.

On the girls side, Sterling won with 11 points and was followed by IMSA (22), Oregon (23), Rochelle (24) and Rockridge (43).

Oregon’s Leah Watters was 9th in 23:13. Other Oregon runners were: 13th Cynthia Nyderek, 25:01; 18th Katlyn Ramirez, 25:10; 21. Lydia Cermak, 25:50; 23. Faith Marquardt, 26:04; 24th Breanna DeHaan, 26:15; and 29th Katelyn Byerley, 26:45.

HAWK SOCCER The Hawks soccer team beat South Beloit 11-2 on Sept. 8 in a morning game at Oregon Park West.

Top performers for Oregon were Josh Sitze with 4 goals and 2 assists; Jonny Acosta 3 goals 2 assists; Joey Gelander 1 goal 3 assists; Liam Dickson-Harriett 2 goals; Eli Rufer 1 goal; and Ryan Lazansky 1 assist.

Sept. 4 After 40 minutes of scoreless soccer, the Dukes broke through in the second half, notching four goals in 5 minutes in a 5-1 win over Oregon.

Tied 1-1 with nearly an hour of the game gone, Dixon’s Noah Grot put the Dukes ahead with a penalty kick. Boston Glessner added another goal moments later, then Adrian Rodriguez made it 4-1 in the 64th minute, and Kade Fulton tacked on the final goal in the 65th.

Moments after the Dukes broke through, the Hawks scored an equalizer. Josh Sitze had his shot stopped by Dixon goalkeeper Ryan Pitzer, but Brigham Finch was there to tap in the rebound in the 46th minute.

Oregon even had chances to take the lead. Jonathan Acosta sailed a shot over the crossbar in the 48th minute. In the 55th minute, Pitzer had to leap to push a shot from Sitze off the crossbar, then leapt on the ball before Jayden Davis could get a good look at tapping in the rebound.

But the goals started to come for Dixon, and the Hawks could not recover.

“Guys didn’t get calls and then they let it get to their head, and then they complained about the call instead of playing the game,” Oregon Oregon’s Adam Thorsen (5) chases a South Beloit player during a Sept. 8 game at Oregon Park West.

COMMENTARY Andy Colbert the luxury of Hunter Rogers as a fill-in quarterback.

Rogers looked like a pro back there, directing the show for injured Bailey Cullor. A smart, athletic kid like him can do that.

With the way the conference is shaking out, Forreston’s game with EPC looks like the last heavy lifting of the regular season.

If Forreston runs the ball like they did against Dakota, EPC (3-0) will have a hard time stopping the Cardinals.

How about Milledgeville putting the hammer down on perennial Upstate power Stockton? The senior-laden Missiles are loaded on defense and well on their way to an unbeaten regular season.

The wild card in the Upstate is Freeport Aquin. An interesting test for them is this week at Polo, in a match up of teams with talent but small rosters.

Coming in to the 2018, the Metro East Lutheran football team from

Edwardsville has seen hard times.

The Knights were out-scored 27312 in their first six games of 2017, on the way to a 1-8 record, with the only win coming by forfeit over Crossroads Academy of Big Rock, a program for home-schooled kids that dropped football last year.

Metro East hasn’t resorted to shutting down its program, but with a 6-75 record from 2009-17, the school may have considered it.

ones forced to travel this season.

However, that all changed this week when the field Metro East uses was flooded. A decision was made to move the game to Polo, putting Metro East on the road again.

Bottom line - Metro East has traveled 1,100 miles that they shouldn’t have had to.

Disappointment at NIU

Off-Field Problems Hard to believe, but this year has been even worse with off-the-field problems.

As one of only eight independents in Illinois, Metro East, located in the far southwest part of the state, has a huge challenge finding games.

In the first week, they were forced to travel 600 miles round trip to Chicago.

In itself, that was bad enough.

Then, after completing pregame warmups against Hansberry Prep Academy, gunfire rang out on a nearby street. Fearing for both teams’ safety, the game was canceled.

Last year, Metro East made a 500mile round trip to get pounded by Polo. At least the Marcos were the

On Saturday, I took in the NIU game against Utah of the PAC-12 and was disappointed with the fan turnout. The stadium was only 2/3 filled and the student section was poorly represented.

NIU put on a standout performance against a team picked to finish second in their division of the PAC-12, but couldn’t even pack the place in the home opener with great weather.

So, maybe it shouldn’t be a surprise that of the 48 games NIU has played against Big Ten teams since 1970, none have been at DeKalb.

Ty Harmston of Stockton represented the NUIC quite well as starting tight end. In his senior year, he caught his first career pass, helping set up NIU’s first field goal.

ompared to the first half against DuPec in week one, it looked like a different Forreston football team against Dakota.

The Cardinal offensive machine was relentless in picking up 26 first downs and literally driving the ball down Dakota’s throat.

I hadn’t seen Forreston play since that first half and either: a.) they’re substantially improved, b.) that first game was an adjustment period, c.) DuPec was better than expected and Dakota overrated, or d.) all of the above.

Linemen don’t make the headlines much, but what a performance by guard Derek DeVries and tackle Mitchell Heinz in blowing the Dakota defenders off the ball.

Add in Garett Badertscher leading second man through and that is as good of a blocking threesome you’ll see in 1A. Not only are those guys physical, but they are agile and fast. It was enjoyable watching play-after-play go over that side and also see the running backs hit the holes hard and lay some licks on would-be tacklers.

JUNIOR HIGH VOLLEYBALL The seventh grade David L. Rahn Eagles were in action last week when they traveled to Dixon and Byron and hosted Ashton-Franklin Center.

On Aug. 28, the Eagles were guest of Dixon Reagan for two matches.

In the first game of match one, DLR’s serving prevented the hosts from returning the ball. The Eagles were victorious, 25-10, thanks to seven serving points from Alexis Ebert and five points each from Riley Robertson and Kenna Wubbena.

Game two was more of the same as the Eagles easily won, 25-11. Wubbena led DLR with six straight service points.

The Eagles swept the match when they took game three, 15-8. In the afternoon’s second match, DLR started game one slowly.

Struggling with their serve reception, the Eagles fell to Dixon, 8-25. The Eagles came alive in the second game to make a run at it.

They fell short, 18-25.

The final game of the match was the closest one. The Eagles hung in there with four straight service points from Sarah Stevens, but lost a heartbreaker, 14-16.

Two nights later, the Eagles traveled to Byron to open the 2018 Route 72 conference for two matches. In game one of the first match, Byron’s first server reeled off nine

straight points before DLR decided to play.

They fought back to tie the score at eleven. It was a battle to the end before the Eagles defeated the Tigers, 21-25. Ebert had seven service points to lead DLR and Robertson had five.

In game two, the Eagles took control early, in part due to Robertson’s twelve points. The visitors won, 25-18. The Eagles swept the Tigers by winning 16-14 in the final game.

Robertson and Ebert combined for eight Eagle points. In the second match, the Eagles played one of their best games to date, winning 25-21.

The Eagles were shaky in game two, losing 25-12. DLR fought hard in game two but Byron’s serving was strong. They lost another close one, 22-25.

A week later, the Eagles hosted A-FC for their second conference match of the season. DLR stunned the Raiders in game one, 25-11, with eight service points from Gracen Pitts.

It was more of the same in game two as the Eagles looked sharp in their 25-10 win.

Pitts again led DLR with six service points.

In the final game of the match, A-FC’s serving improved. Their first player served up 12 points in the 7-25 loss.

Learn as you go and don’t be afraid to make a mistake. Observe what others are doing to get some ideas for your own life. Focus on positive change.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2018 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Take the initiative instead of waiting for someone to force you to do something.

Being in control will keep you focused on what you want to accomplish, instead of on what someone else wants.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- A physical change may not be what you want, but working with what you have and dealing with situations as they arise will help you maintain control.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- How you deal with others should be based on experience. The best changes are the ones that come naturally and encourage greater stability. Don’t let emotions lead you astray.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- How you earn your living or maintain your lifestyle will be dependent on your ability to handle your cash. Being too generous will stand between you and financial security.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You’ve got the right idea and the wherewithal to bring about the changes you want to see happen. Don’t wait for someone else to beat you at your own game.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You don’t have to do what everyone else does. Do what’s best for you. A little me time will do you good and help you make wiser choices moving forward.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Participate in events that you feel strongly about, but don’t donate too much time or money to someone or something unworthy of your assistance. Choose your causes carefully.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A change in a partnership will also affect your financial situation. Downsize to ensure that you aren’t living beyond your means. A change of heart is apparent.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t miss out on an

opportunity because of pride, ego or someone else’s lack of resolve. If you follow your heart and intuition, you will do just fine.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take a moment to go over the changes happening around you. Get the lowdown from a legitimate source and sit tight until you feel comfortable making a move.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Be more adventurous and explore what’s available.

Social events will lead to a chance meeting with someone who can offer you something unique. Romance and personal improvements should be priorities.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don’t be daunted by someone’s last-minute decision. Wait until you feel comfortable before making a move that could affect your reputation. Avoid getting into a debate that could make you look bad. ©2018 UFS
