Body was in water for several months; officials suspect victim is from Winnebago County, sheriff says
By ALEXA ZOELLNER azoellner@shawmedia.com
OREGON – A body was found Tuesday morning in the Rock River midway between Oregon and Byron. The body, which has yet to be identi-
fied, was found about 11 a.m. in the 4300 block of north Illinois Route 2 by an individual searching for fossils along the river, Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle said in a news release.
The age and gender of the victim are unknown, but the body appears to have been in the water for at least six months, VanVickle said.
“We [Ogle County] don’t have any missing people, but I know Winnebago and Rockford does,” VanVickle said.
“We’re communicating with Winnebago County to get some dental records.” Those records were scheduled to be reviewed by the Ogle County coroner Wednesday, he said. Officials feel there is a “fairly high likelihood” that the victim is from Winnebago County, VanVickle said. “Hopefully we can have closure for the family [Wednesday],” VanVickle said. “Otherwise, we’ll have to move on to DNA, which is going to take some time to complete.”

OREGON – City officials are in the process of determining which company to contract with for curbside waste collection and exploring options for recycling and yard waste.
“We are doing a deep dive into the bids,” City Manager Darin DeHaan told city commissioners at the Aug. 13 council meeting. “We need to decide what cost to the community we are comfortable with and consider recycling and yard waste costs.”
Based on the three bids received, Commissioner Melanie Cozzi said it appeared there would be an increase to residents.
“Either way it looks like there will be a rate increase,” Cozzi said.
Commissioner Terry Schuster asked DeHaan if he could poll customers of the three companies to find out their satisfac-

Friends Trivia Night at Cork N Tap, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 28
Are you a “Friends” fan? This trivia is for you. Grab six of your closest Friends fans and play for prizes at Cork & Tap. Registration is required at www.oregonpubliclibrary. com. Teams of six only. There is a limited number of teams, so don’t wait to register. Preschool Story Time for
tion with each company.
“Is there any way to check their customer service satisfaction?” Schuster said.
DeHaan said he would try to get that information.
DeHaan said options for commissioners to consider to help control rates would be going to an every other week recycling collection rather than an each week collection and whether to continue offering yard waste collection.
Representatives from the three companies that submitted bids – Midwest Disposal, Northern Illinois Disposal and Republic Services – were present at the meeting. The city currently has a contract with Moring Disposal Inc. of Forreston, but that company was sold to Republic Services in 2022.
Michael O’Malley, district manager for Northern Illinois Disposal Services Inc., said his company has 13 municipal contracts.
“We do great customer service. All the calls come directly to us. We also have cameras on all our trucks,” O’Malley said.
Derek Humphrey, owner of Midwest Disposal, said his Dixon-based company services Polo, Rock Falls and Milledgeville.
“We try to go above and beyond with our service,” Humphrey said.
DeHaan did not offer bid totals during the meeting, but said in a Tuesday phone call that the bids did not represent the actual cost to residents, including administration fees, that had yet to be determined by city officials.
The bids range from $19.39 to $20.96 for similar services currently offered, but that does not reflect the cost to residents. Each bid also reflects yearly increases during the duration of the five-year contract.
The current rate is $18.25.

OREGON – Motorcycles and their riders rumbled into town Aug. 17 for lunch and maybe a cigar as part of a 100-mile escorted ride through Winnebago and Ogle counties in support of law enforcement.
The Ogle County Brewery and Bad Ash Cigars, 110 N. Fourth St., provided the noon stop for 200-plus bikes and their riders in the Back the Blue Motorcycle Rally. Riders started their trek in Machesney Park and wound their way down through Oregon and Leaf River before heading back to Winnebago County.
The loud line of motorcycles was escorted on the route by police cruisers and included Winnebago County Sheriff Gary Caruana riding on his red Harley Davidson.
“We do this as a community event,” Caruana said as he enjoyed a cigar in
the Bad Ash cigar lounge. “We want to let people know we are out here for them and today they are out here for us.”
Bikers cruised into Oregon on Illinois Route 2 and turned west onto Franklin Street. They lined their rides in the North Fifth Street parking lot just south of the Oregon Coliseum.
Riders were treated to pulled pork barbecue, beverages and cigars provided by Ogle County Brewery and Bad Ash.
Liz Vos said Bad Ash Cigars had hosted the event in previous years. They brought the event to the city’s downtown after the store moved from its former location on River Road to 110 N. Fourth St.
“This is an annual event for Bad Ash and this year 300 bikes and their riders are right downtown,” Vos said. “They came from all over. The city was great in facilitating this for us.”

One week we were excited about the arrival of the family of one of our staunch abolitionists and the next week we were saying hello to a family member of our founder of Polo. We always say, “We never know who is going to walk through the door of our museum.”
Our week started with Linda, Beth and I spending quite a bit of Monday showing Polo to an Aplington descendent. He was impressed with the mural on the wall and the new City Hall going up across from Aplington House.
As we looked at the home of Zenas and Harriet Aplington and talked about the family, I realized there were details he did not know about his family. But he was young and just starting to put together his genealogy.
It reminded me of the time when my sister and I visited the Isley House of our ancestors at a museum
Betty Obendorf
in Greensboro, North Carolina. It was a log cabin that had been found and moved to the present site. It was hard to imagine living in this log cabin so many years ago and what it would have been like as a family.
When we got back to the museum Monday, I pulled the Aplington file to make certain of my facts since it had been a while since I had looked at that information. We copied some things, gave him a book and then I asked him where he lived. When he answered “Riverside,” I was quite surprised because my grandson lives near him. They both have little boys who will go to kindergarten next year in the area. How cool is that?
As the week progressed, Linda and I worked on several research areas. Some are for the city and some are for a program I will give on country schools in November. Our minds are never idle. Saturday came and Linda, Kevin and I were very busy at the museum greeting people as they came in to visit.
There was a mini reunion of the Class of 1971 of several girls and they stopped by to say hello. Mark and Avis Porter’s daughter was one of them. The Porters were great workers in the Polo Historical Society for many years. George Swallow’s daughter was another visitor and she and I looked at many things in the museum. She owns a historic home in Galena and we talked about the house and how it is constructed of limestone. I would love to see her home in Galena.
The Huff daughter of Reverend and Miriam Huff was another girl
and I believe the Huffs helped start our nursing home. The Geary girl also was part of the women’s reunion. The Geary family lived near us in Eagle Point and Emma used to babysit our children when they were young and we also went to the Book Club of Eagle Point together. One time Emma was with me in the car and my children were a bit loud in the back seat. I was getting somewhat annoyed – in fact quite annoyed – and Emma turned to me and said, “Betty, these are the golden years.”
You know, she was right. Those were the golden years when our children were young and the years lay ahead of us to be filled with wonderful moments. Now we look back and say, “Where did the years go?”
• Betty Obendorf is a retired teacher and volunteer for the Polo Historical Society.
This information about Ruth Donaldson was gleaned from Oregon High School’s 1952 Little Blackhawk yearbook.
Mrs. Donaldson taught Latin and world history. She served as the Latin Club adviser. The Latin Club, with a membership of 50 students, held its Latin Banquet in the spring with Judy Colson as its president.
The graduating class of 1952 dedicated the 1952 Little Blackhawk to Mrs. Ruth Donaldson as a way of expressing their thanks to her for the untiring help she gave during their four years at Oregon High School.
“During classes, she has won our respect through her help along the paths of learning. Likewise to our outside activities, our respect and admiration have grown because of her way of becoming one of us, a fun-loving companion. It is then with a great deal of pride that we take this opportunity to
express our appreciation,” an inscription in the yearbook read.
Information about the Oregon High School Latin Club opened with a section about the club with the words Amo, amas, amat. To Latin students, these words along with many others meant a lot. Being an industrial arts student, I had no idea what they meant in English. Amo is I love, amas is You love and amat is He/She/It loves.
Latin was once the universal language of Europe. Half of our English language is made up from Latin words. The following are a few of our abbreviations derived from Latin: a.m., ante meridon, before midnight; Nu,
numero, number; Percent, per centum, for each one hundred; R.I.P., requiesed in pace, rest in peace.
Other 1952 teachers were Margaret
Rose (home economics), Homer Kuethe (history, geography), Warren Schmidt (agriculture), Alfred C. Stimes (social studies), John Nelson (mathematics), Russell Anderson (band), William Diven (English, speech), Laura Kloster (English), Paul Holland (boys PE), and Doris Diewall (girls PE).
The janitors were Mr. Speed and Mr. Masters.
“These two men are a familiar sight during school and also at outside activities. It is for this reason that we say, “Thanks Mr. Speed and Mr. Masters. Yours is a job well done,” an entry in the yearbook said.
There were 50 businesses that financially supported the 1952 Blackhawk yearbook. None of them are in business today.

Historic Chana School to be subject of Those Were the Days program Aug. 31
SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com
OREGON – The Chana School will be the subject of the Those Were The Days program at 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 31, at the Oregon Train Depot.
“The Chana School 1883 to 2003 and Beyond” will be presented by Connie Stauffer of the Chana School
Museum. The new Power Point presentation will show a collection of pictures of the beginning efforts to save the old 1883 Chana School from destruction, the moving of the school to Oregon Park East, 201 N. River Road, the restoration of the schoolhouse and the use of the school today. The historic two-room schoolhouse stands as an example of rural
education in Midwest America. It is a pure style of Italianate architecture.
The building was included on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
It is the only two-room wooden school from Illinois on the National Register of Historic Places. Fewer than 1% of all sites on the National Register of Historic Places are build -
ings that were moved, so the Chana School holds a unique claim.
Those Were The Days programs are held at the Oregon Depot, 400 Collins St. in Oregon.
For more information about Oregon Train Depot programs, call Roger Cain at 815-757-9715, Chris Martin at 815-742-8471 or Otto Dick at 815-440-0639.

OREGON – It was work that brought Earleen Hinton to the Oregon Area Chamber of Commerce’s annual awards dinner and she was busy shooting photos when Donna Mann started reading the Citizen of the Year’s biography.
It was around the time Mann started talking about the nominee’s work with the Autumn on Parade Committee and their connection to Ogle County newspapers that Hinton realized she was the one being described.
“Thank you very much,” Hinton said as she accepted the award. “Everyone knows I’m more about the written word than the spoken word, so I hate you all that knew about this.”
The joking statement drew laughter from the crowd gathered for the dinner Aug. 15 at River’s Edge Experience in Oregon.
“It’s really refreshing to see local journalism celebrated,” Hinton said after the event. “My sincere thanks go out to everyone who recognized that for all the journalists that do this throughout the United States of America and in foreign countries where people aren’t so welcoming.”
An Oregon resident, Hinton is editor of the Oregon Republican Reporter, Mt. Morris Times, Polo Tri-County Press, Forreston Journal, Whiteside News Sentinel, Erie Review, Fulton Journal and Prophetstown Echo. All are publications of Shaw Local News Network.
Hinton always is on the job, whether it’s researching the area’s history, preparing article ideas, seeking out photo opportunities, attending community meetings or otherwise promoting the community, Mann said.
Hinton has served on the Autumn on Parade Committee for decades and is a “career communicator always seeking out the next story and presenting it in a fair, unbiased manner,” Mann said.
A familiar face throughout Ogle County, Hinton’s unwavering efforts helped put the community in the news, Mann said. Those efforts, in turn, have been recognized by the Illinois Press Association, Mann said.
“I’ve always enjoyed covering the community,” Hinton said. “It’s my home, and I just really appreciate the recognition.”
Volunteering can be a thankless job, but without volunteers, society would struggle to progress, said Tyler Mowry, who presented the Chamber’s Volunteer of the Year award.
“Volunteers are the gatekeepers of our community and our nominee for Volunteer of the Year regularly goes
above and beyond,” Mowry said.
Dave Head of Oregon was named 2024 Volunteer of the Year for his work with the Ogle County Historical Society, Oregon Depot Museum and more.
“This community means a lot to me and I’ve always tried to step up and do what needs to be done,” Head said after the awards ceremony. “I need to

really refreshing to see local journalism celebrated.”

give back. Life’s been good to me, Oregon’s been good to me, and I want to give back, period.”
Year after year, Head quietly has given back to the community, Mowry said. Head has served as a board member of the Ogle County Historical Society, the Oregon Depot Museum, the Coliseum Museum of Arts, Antiques and Americana and Lifeline, Mowry said.
Head also works tirelessly to keep the Ruby Nash House solid, is actively involved in the Rotary Club having served as president multiple times and has given “countless hours” to restoring the Silver View, Mowry said.

OREGON – A Markham man accused of sexually assaulting a 17-yearold girl in Polo in December 2022 will undergo a sex offender assessment.
Armon D. Pearson, 24, and his attorney Brian Erwin appeared in front of Judge John Redington on Aug. 14 and requested the assessment and asked for a continuance until the evaluation is completed and received.
“This needs to be done promptly,” Redington told Pearson and set the next court hearing for 1 p.m. Oct. 16.
Assistant State’s Attorney Matthew Leisten did not object to the continuance.
Pearson is charged with criminal sexual assault of a girl in Polo on Dec. 13, 2022. He pleaded not guilty Feb. 14
Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle reports the following activity:
Aug. 11
Josiah McManis, 21, of DeKalb, was arrested for unlawful use of a weapon after a traffic stop in the 5000 block of north Illinois Route 2. McManis also was cited for improper passing and speeding. McManis was taken to the Ogle County jail and released on a notice to appear with a future court date.
Michael D. Pontnack, 46, of Oregon, was arrested for no valid driver’s license and speeding 90 mph in a 55-mph zone after a traffic stop at the intersection of North Stillman and East Holcomb roads at 4:45 p.m. Pontnack was released from the scene on a notice to appear.
Stephen Leonard, 39, of Amboy, was arrested for driving while under the influence of alcohol after deputies performed a welfare check on a vehicle parked in the roadway at North German Church and East Walden roads about 9:43 p.m. Leonard also was cited for driving while under the influence of alcohol and illegal parking in the roadway. Leonard was taken to the Ogle County jail and released on a notice to appear.
Staci Todd, 45, of Oregon, was arrested for an outstanding Lee County warrant
and has requested a jury trial.
An arrest warrant first was issued in July 2023 – when the charge was filed – and Pearson’s bond was set at $150,000, meaning he would have to post 10%, or $15,000, to be released.
He was arrested Dec. 22, 2023, and appeared in court Dec. 26 and again Dec. 27 while in custody at the Ogle County jail.
Under the state’s SAFE-T Act, Pearson asked to be released from custody without bond as his case proceeds through the court system. The law allows defendants to be released on a no-cash bond, but a judge still decides
whether a defendant is a flight risk or poses too much of a threat to one person or the community to allow release.
At a Dec. 27 detention hearing, Leisten argued that Pearson should not be released from custody because criminal sexual assault qualifies as a “detainable offense.”
Leisten said police reports indicated the assault took place on the south end of Polo about 10:50 p.m. at or near the Village Inn Motel. He said the victim told police that Pearson put his hand over her mouth and said he “would kill her” if she made noise. Leisten said she told police that she was raped twice.
Leisten also told the court that the girl was taken to KSB for sexual assault testing, with those results being sent to the Illinois State Police crime lab. Motel records indicated that Pearson had registered for a room for one night on Dec.
13, 2022, Leisten said.
When questioned by Chicago Metro Police, Leisten said Pearson denied knowing the girl or having been in or knowing of Polo or Ogle County.
Pearson also told Chicago investigators that he had been texting with a Polo girl on the internet with the dating app Plenty of Fish, Leisten said. He said Pearson told police that he thought he had “hooked up” with her and acknowledged they had sex.
Pearson’s past criminal history includes a charge of battery in Kane County in 2020, Leisten said.
Redington agreed earlier this year to release Pearson with the conditions that he not have any contact with the alleged victim. He also told Pearson that he could not be within the city limits of Polo “under any circumstances” while the case is pending.
for contempt of court after deputies checked a vehicle parked in the roadway near East Ash and North German Church roads at 10:51 p.m. Todd was taken to the Ogle County jail.
Aug. 12
John Kennedy, 68, of Brooklyn, Wisconsin, was arrested for possession of methamphetamine after deputies assisted a motorist in the 500 block of North Fourth Street in Oregon about 12:58 a.m. Kennedy was taken to the Ogle County jail and released on a notice to appear.
Amber Talab, 44, of Rochelle, was arrested for driving on a suspended license after a traffic stop in the 1000 block of south Illinois Route 2 about 12:58 p.m. Talab also was cited for operating a vehicle with no insurance, operating a vehicle with expired registration and operating a vehicle with suspended registration. Talab was released from the scene on a notice to appear.
Richard Newman, 34, of Davis Junction, was arrested for domestic battery after deputies responded to a report of a suicidal subject in the 100 block of Harvest Glenn Drive in Davis Junction about 6:02 p.m. Newman was taken to the Ogle County jail and held pending a court appearance.
Aug. 14

OREGON – There is a permanent field of wildflowers in downtown Oregon thanks to the work of a Dixon artist, helpful hands from the Village of Progress and city officials.
A new mural graces the south wall of the Village Bakery, 101 N. Third St. It was created and painted by Nora Reuter of Dixon with the assistance of four VOP individuals who helped paint flowers on the 50-foot-long by 5-foot-tall mural.
“I liked painting the flowers,” said Sharon Good, one of the VOP people who helped with the project.
“Same thing for me,” Rebeccah King said. “And I like the blue color at the top.”
Good and King, along with Sam Guzzardo and John Miller, pitched in to paint flowers and other background foliage on the mural under the direction of Ruter.
There are a lot of flowers.
“I don’t know how many flowers there are, but you are welcome to count them,” Reuter said, smiling. “Someone told me there is Queen Anne’s lace in the photo and that they are allergic to that. I assured them that ours would not cause them any irritation.”
The Village of Progress serves adults with developmental disabilities. The not-for-profit, located at 710 S. 13th St., offers vocational skills, recreational programs and social activities for men and women.
The Village Bakery building is owned by the Village of Progress and offers adults with disabilities the opportunity to work shoulder to shoulder with the bakery’s professional staff to learn skills needed
for employment. The bakery serves breakfast and lunch.
“Earlier in the summer, several members of the Village of Progress were invited to lend a hand in the completion of the mural. Nora guided the Village members in creating the first level of foliage in the wildflower field by painting crossing lines in green at the forefront of the mural,” Liz Hiemstra said.
“The mural took about one month to complete.”
The mural was funded by a $5,000 grant from the
city of Oregon.
Oregon Mayor Ken Williams was on hand Monday to officially thank everyone who worked on the mural.
“We are pleased to be a part of the new mural on the wall of the Village Bakery. The city of Oregon supports the arts through its mural grant program and this colorful rendering of a field with local wild flowers is a perfect choice for the entry into our historic downtown,” Williams said.

OREGON – Three Ogle County officers injured in the line of duty during a June shootout were honored Tuesday at the Ogle County Sheriff’s Office.
On the morning of June 12, police were called to 402 Wild Rice Lane in Lost Lake, a rural subdivision east of Dixon, with a warning of a “suicide by cop” situation.
During a gunfire exchange with Jonathon Gounaris, the home’s resident, tactical medic Tyler Carls of the Rochelle Fire Department was struck twice in the body armor, Sgt. Tad Dominski of the Oregon Police Department suffered a gunshot wound to the upper arm and Lt. Jason Ketter of the Ogle County Sheriff’s Office suffered a gunshot wound to the face.
That day, the sheriff’s office activated its Emergency Response Team. The ERT is made up of individuals from different agencies including the sheriff’s office, Oregon and Byron police departments and SWAT medics from the Rochelle Fire Department.
Ketter was taken by air ambulance to OSF Medical Center in Rockford, where he underwent surgery and was released June 14. Dominski and Carls were treated at KSB Hospital in Dixon on June 12 and released later that evening.
Gounaris also was struck during the exchange and suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen. He was treated at KSB before being booked into the Winnebago County jail in Rockford, where he has remained since that day in June. Gounaris is charged with four counts of attempted first-degree murder and several weapons offenses.
At Tuesday’s presentation, Armor Research Company, a law enforcement equipment manufacturer based in Las Vegas, presented Dominski with a new shield to replace the one that took rounds during the June gunfire exchange and no longer is in service.
“Your bravery is commendable,” Armor Research Company CEO Kennith Hall told Dominski.
Hall also recognized the foresight that Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle had when buying six shields at an active shooter alerts conference in 2019, when the product was relatively new, he said.
The company’s Compact Response Shield was designed by retired police officer Jim Boydd. The shield is held by officers in front of them, against their forearm, and has brackets on both sides that act as a steady platform for shooting.
When buying the shields, VanVickle said they were appealing to the department because they were lightweight.
The sheriff’s office has another set of ballistic shields that each weigh about 40 pounds. ARC’s shields each weigh about 20 pounds, VanVickle said.
During the June shooting, the shields from ARC protected an Ogle County deputy from shots fired at close range and other deputies who were standing behind that officer, VanVickle said.
“That decision, years ago, made an impact and we have a product that really does work,” VanVickle said.
“In law enforcement, sometimes we wait too long to get this safety equipment. We wait until a critical incident occurs,” Boydd said.
One benefit the sheriff’s office always has is it’s not afraid to spend money to protect its officers, VanVickle said.
All three of the deputies who were injured were present at the event Tuesday. The three, along with several other Ogle County deputies, were presented awards and ARC product discounts in honor of their actions June 12.
“There’s a lot of bad stuff out there about law enforcement. When we do the good things, it’s important that those are celebrated,” VanVickle said.
Carls and Dominski have recovered from their injuries and returned to work. Dominski, a former sergeant at the Oregon Police Department, was sworn in as a deputy at the Ogle County Sheriff’s Office on Aug. 5, VanVickle said in an interview with Shaw Local.
Ketter underwent another surgery on his jaw about a week ago. He hasn’t returned to work yet, but he is doing well, VanVickle said.
In terms of mental health support, the department has provided its deputies with “whatever they need,” VanVickle said.
Tuesday’s event was a small piece
of that support.
“After a situation like this happens, it’s important to have our people come back here and talk about what happened,” VanVickle said.

OREGON – Constellation Energy Generation got its wish Tuesday night when the Ogle County Board voted to rezone 524 acres of land around the Byron Generating Station.
County board members voted 18-4-1 to rezone 10 land parcels in Rockvale and Marion townships from AG-1 Agricultural to I-1 Industrial. Constellation owns the property.
“The Ogle County Board’s decision to approve rezoning some parcels of Constellation property is a win for tax payers and a positive step for future business development in the county,” Constellation Communications Manager Paul Dempsey said.
Voting in favor of the petition were County Board Chairperson John Finfrock, Vice Chairperson Patricia Nordman and board members Zachary Oltmanns, Rick Fritz, Tom Smith, Wayne Reising, Austin Gillis, Joseph Simms, Dave Williams, Skip Kenney, Dan Janes, Don Griffin Jr., Bruce Larson, Jeff Billeter, Steven Huber, Stan Asp, Lyle Hopkins and Susie Cobitt.
Board members Jackie Ramsey, Ryan Reeverts, Dean Fox and Marcia
Heuer voted no.
Board member Ben Youman abstained because of a conflict of interest. Board member Dan Miller was absent.
“Different businesses do call Constellation – large, small – offering certain things that maybe could go on a parcel of land near the plant,”
plant and are contiguous. The final parcel, which is only 1.3 acres in size, is southwest of the plant and surrounded by I-1 Industrial-zoned land.
The Ogle County Regional Planning Commission on June 27 voted 3-2 to recommend the Ogle County Board deny Constellation’s petition to rezone 596.33 acres.
Seven parcels were removed from the request after the RPC expressed concern about the number of acres being considered for rezoning and on July 25, Ogle County Zoning Board of Appeals members voted 3-2 to approve Constellation’s revised petition.
Supervisor of Assessments and Planning and Zoning Committee members Aug. 13 voted 5-1-1 to support Constellation’s petition. All three bodies’ decisions were sent to the full Ogle County Board for consideration.
Dempsey said. “We continue to talk to people, but there’s no customer right now. There’s no deal in the works. But now, rezoning the property makes it more attractive to large companies to bring more jobs and bring more taxpayer money.”
Nine of the land parcels that were rezoned are to the east of the nuclear
The vote was “an opportunity of a lifetime,” said Janes, who chairs the Supervisor of Assessments and Planning and Zoning Committee. The rezoning is “an important feature we have to keep the longevity of the nuclear plant,” he said.
Neighbors of the Byron Generation Station declined comment after the meeting.

MOUNT CARROLL – Timber Lake Playhouse’s 2024 summer season comes to a close with “Jekyll & Hyde.” The epic struggle between good and evil comes to life on the Timber Lake Playhouse stage in the musical phenomenon based on the classic story by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Featuring a thrilling score of pop rock hits from multi Grammy- and Tony-nominated Frank Wildhorn and double Oscar- and Grammy-winning Leslie Bricusse, “Jekyll & Hyde” has mesmerized audiences all over the world.
A devoted man of science, Dr. Henry Jekyll (played by Phillip Bryan) is driven to find a chemical breakthrough that can solve some of mankind’s most challenging medical dilemmas. Rebuffed by the powers that be, he decides to make himself the subject of his own experimental treatments, accidentally unleashing his inner demons along with the man that the world would come to know as Mr. Hyde. Murder and chaos are pitted against love and virtue in this
sweeping gothic musical. Kristin Wetherington and Kelly Murphy (Lucy and Emma, respectively) complete the trifecta.
TLP artistic director Tommy Ranieri directs “Jekyll & Hyde.” Trent Soyster is the choreographer. Ryan Schaefer is fight choreographer and Matt Surico is music director. Production stage manager is Meg Rosenberg and assistant stage managers are Julia Gangemi and Camille Marie.
The work of scenic designer Spencer Donovan, costume designer Chakira Doherty, props designer Heather Kuhn, sound designer Rory Shea, lighting designer Sam Weiser and resident company members such as technical director Brian Wasserman, head electrician Abi Farnsworth, wardrobe team Nile Michelle and Rachel McElwain and A2 Evan Lettieri transport the audience to Victorian England, where the story is set.
“Jekyll & Hyde” runs until Aug. 25. Tickets can be purchased at timberlakeplayhouse.org, by calling the box office at 815-244-2035 or by visiting the theatre at 8215 Black Oak Road in Mount Carroll.

Byron Tigers
Coach: Jeff Boyer
2023 record: 14-0, 9-0
Worth noting: The defending Class 3A state champions have appeared in four of the past five state championship games, winning in 2021 and finishing second in 2018 and 2019. They are 64-5 in the past five full seasons. They appear to be as loaded as ever, starting with junior Caden Considine, who ran for 153 yards and two scores in a 69-7 win over Mt. Carmel in the title game. He finished the year with more than 1,600 yards and 27 touchdowns. He returns as does fellow allstate selection senior Jared Claunch blocking for him on the line. Senior Nolan Brass joins Claunch in returning on the line, and Boyer said he may be the best lineman in the conference. Andrew Talbert split time at quarterback last year but ran for three touchdowns against the Golden Aces. He’s back under center and at free safety, where he was the starter.
Schedule: Aug. 30 at Rock Falls; Sept. 6 Rockford Lutheran; Sept. 13 at Rockford Christian; Sept. 20 at North Boone; Sept. 27 Oregon; Oct. 4 Genoa-Kingston; Oct. 11 at Winnebago; Oct. 18 at Dixon; Oct. 25 Stillman Valley
Dixon Dukes
Coach: Jared Shaner
2023 record: 9-2, 8-1
Worth noting: The Dukes had two losses last year – one to 3A champ Byron, the other to 4A runner-up St. Laurence in the second round of the playoffs. The team returns 13 starters, including eight on defense. Cullen Shaner caught 27 passes for 493 yards and seven touchdowns from his brother Tyler Shaner last year. Cullen Shaner, now a senior, will take over for his brother at quarterback. Senior Eli Davidson, who like Shaner is a returning first-team selection on the Sauk Valley Media All-Area Team, is likely to be a top target after 22 catches for 247 yards last year. He also had 148 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and three forced fumbles. Senior Tyson Dambman is likely to be the top target after 38 catches for 377 yards and five scores last year. He also had 84 tackles as a defensive back. Dixon has made nine straight postseasons, but last year was the most wins and longest playoff run since a 10-2 mark in 2017.
Schedule: Aug. 30 Stillman Valley; Sept. 6 Oregon; Sept. 13 at Rock Falls; Sept. 20 at Genoa-Kingston; Sept. 27 Rockford Lutheran; Oct. 4 at Winnebago; Oct. 11 Rockford Christian; Oct. 18 Byron; Oct. 25 at North Boone Genoa-Kingston Cogs
Coach: Cameron Davekos
2023 record: 4-5, 4-5
Worth noting: The Cogs and Rockford Lutheran both entered Week 9
last year with 4-4 records. The Royal Lions got the win 20-12 along with the playoff berth as the Cogs missed the postseason for the first time since 2014. With five starters back on each side of the ball, the Cogs should be in the playoff picture again. Quarterback Nathan Kleba returns and will be taking on duties at outside linebacker as well. There are plenty of options to haul the rock in the Cogs’ wing-T, including seniors Tyler Atterberry, Nolan Kline and Peyton Meyer. The linebacker spot should be a strength with Kleba and Kline joining senior John Swinehart and junior Owen Zaccard.
Schedule: Aug. 30 Rockford Christian; Sept. 6 North Boone; Sept. 13 at Oregon; Sept. 20 Dixon; Sept. 27 Winnebago; Oct. 4 at Byron; Oct. 11 Stillman Valley; Oct. 18 at Rock Falls; Oct. 25 at Rockford Lutheran
North Boone Vikings
Coach: Ryan Kelley 2023 record: 6-4, 6-3
Worth noting: The Vikings were back in the postseason for the second time in Kelley’s three-year tenure but are looking for their first playoff win since 2018, their only trip past the first round since 2004. North Boone has qualified for five of the past six postseasons. To make it six of seven, two-way senior lineman Patrick McCarty will play a key role. Junior Bradley Dahl figures to be a key piece at wide receiver and defensive end.
Schedule: Aug. 30 Oregon; Sept. 6 at Genoa-Kingston; Sept. 13 at Winnebago; Sept. 20 Byron; Sept. 27 at
2016 and 2017. They’re searching for their first winning season since 2009 and first playoff berth since 1992. Easton Canales is back after starting at quarterback last year, with Austin Castaneda one of his top returning targets. Both seniors also played linebacker. Senior Korbin Oligney played running back and linebacker last year.
Schedule: Aug. 30 Byron; Sept. 6 at Stillman Valley; Sept. 13 Dixon; Sept. 20 Rockford Lutheran; Sept. 27 at Rockford Christian; Oct. 4 at North Boone; Oct. 11 Oregon; Oct. 18 Genoa-Kingston; Oct. 25 at Winnebago

Stillman Valley; Oct. 4 Rock Falls; Oct. 11 Rockford Lutheran; Oct. 18 at Rockford Christian; Oct. 25 Dixon
Oregon Hawks
Coach: Broc Kundert 2023 record: 5-5, 5-4
Worth noting: North Boone coach Ryan Kelley said the Hawks could surprise some people this season. And there are a lot of weapons returning for a team that made its first playoff appearance since 2014. They hadn’t won more than three games in a season between the playoff appearances. But a stacked defensive line that includes seniors Josh Crandall, Briggs Sellers, Seth Rote and Andrew Young will look to change that. Sellers, Rote and Young all play on the O-line as well, with Crandall playing tight end. Logan Weems, a Sauk Valley all-area first-team selection, was a workhorse with 223 carries for 1,111 yards and 14 scores. Crandall and senior Hunter Bartel figure to be key targets for senior quarterback Jack Washburn. Junior Cooper Johnson may be able to help alleviate the workload of Weems.
Schedule: Aug. 30 at North Boone; Sept. 6 at Dixon; Sept. 13 Genoa-Kingston; Sept. 20 Winnebago; Sept. 27 at Byron; Oct. 4 Stillman Valley; Oct. 11 at Rock Falls; Oct. 18 at Rockford Lutheran; Oct. 25 Rockford Christian
Rock Falls Rockets
Coach: Kevin Parker
2023 record: 2-7, 2-7
Worth noting: After a winless 2022 campaign, the Rockets had a pair of wins in 2023 – the most wins in a single season since back-to-back 3-6 marks in
Worth noting: Since making three straight playoffs between 2017 and 2019, the Royal Lions are 1-26 in the three full seasons since. The lone win came in 2022 against Rock Falls, a 14-0 win in Week 1. After a six-point loss the following week to Oregon, they’ve played only one other game decided by less than three scores – a 21-16 loss to Rock Falls last year. But there were some glimmers, especially on offense behind now-senior quarterback and strong safety Jaden Williams. Rockford Christian was one of only three BNC teams last year not to be shut out, along with Byron and Stillman Valley.

Rockford Lutheran Crusaders
Coach: Jeff Luedke
2023 record: 5-5, 5-4
Worth noting: When Jeff Luedeke took over the team in 2022, the Crusaders hadn’t made the playoffs since 2016. He’s guided them to the playoffs in both of his seasons and a playoff win in 2022. Although he returns, he said there are new coaches on both sides of the ball, resulting in a new look for the team on offense and defense. Junior Gavin Sanders started last year in a big way, rushing for 305 yards and five touchdowns against Winnebago and kept up that momentum throughout the year. Senior wide receiver David Ballard returns as well as fellow seniors Landon Schoenweiss (linebacker) and tight end Jack Behmer. Junior defensive end Julius Holt looks for a strong follow-up to his sophomore campaign.

Cardinals have ended past 3 seasons with playoff losses to Lena-Winslow
By DRAKE LANSMAN dlansman@shawmedia.com
Winning eight games in each of the past four full seasons is a stretch that would satisfy many high school football teams.
The Forreston Cardinals, however, have been left wanting more in recent years.
After winning Class 1A state titles in 2014, 2016 and 2018, Forreston’s season has been ended by Lena-Winslow the past three years. The Panthers finished as state runner-up last year and won state titles in 2022 and 2021.
Lena-Winslow has six state titles since 2010.
“I think a lot of programs would take

Stillman Valley Cardinals
Coach: Mike Lalor
2023 record: 6-5, 5-4
Worth noting: The Cardinals labored through the regular season, going 3-3 to start, but winning two straight battles against Genoa-Kingston (20-12) and Winnebago (27-14) to lock up a berth before running into Byron in the final. But they picked up a playoff win for the fifth straight postseason. They look to get back to the playoffs as they have in every full season since a 4-5 mark in 2017. Seniors Michael Orlando and Henry Hildreth had big years last season as both were running backs and defensive backs. Brock Needs, also a senior, played fullback and middle linebacker last year.
Schedule: Aug. 30 at Dixon; Sept. 6 Rock Falls; Sept. 13 at Rockford Lutheran; Sept. 20 Rockford Christian; Sept. 27 North Boone; Oct. 4 at Oregon; Oct. 11 at Genoa-Kingston; Oct. 18 Winnebago; Oct. 25 at Byron
Winnebago Indians
Coach: Mark Helm
2023 record: 1-8, 1-8
Worth noting: The Indians followed their first playoff berth since 2017 with a one-win season, the only win coming in Week 2 with a 55-34 win over Rockford Christian. There’s a lot of returning blockers back to protect quarterback Mitchell Cunningham, including seniors Josh Cowman and Payton Booth. But the numbers are thin this year, according to Helm, making depth a concern for a team not only looking
eight wins,” said Forreston fourth-year coach Kenyon Janicke, a 2012 Forreston graduate who started as an assistant in 2016. “We’re still kind of frustrated with it and believe we can do better.”
While it’s frustrating to run into a fellow Northwest Upstate Illini Conference powerhouse in the playoffs, it helps set a high standard for success for Forreston and Janicke.
“Lena-Winslow is an incredible team from the staff to their players. They’re on one of the best runs we’ve seen in the state,” Janicke said. “To keep running into them is pretty frustrating, but they keep giving us a benchmark to work from.”
The NUIC seems to belong to the Panthers until someone takes it from them. Forreston reached the state semifinals in 2022 and last beat Le-Win in the 2021 regular season by a score of 22-20.
“They are usually a good benchmark to see where we’re at,” Janicke said. “In the playoffs, we just keep coming up
for a second playoff berth in three years but its first playoff win since 2013.
Schedule: Aug. 30 Rockford Lutheran; Sept. 6 at Rockford Christian; Sept. 13 North Boone; Sept. 20 at Oregon; Sept. 27 at Genoa-Kingston; Oct. 4 Dixon; Oct. 11 Byron; Oct. 18 at Stillman Valley; Oct. 25 Rock Falls
FIVE PLAYERS TO WATCH
• Cullen Shaner, Dixon, sr., QB/DB – Shaner had 27 catches for 493 yards and seven touchdowns, earning a spot on the conference’s first team. While he’ll stay at DB, he’ll shift to quarterback to take over for brother Tyler Shaner at quarterback. Shaner’s transition to quarterback will be a key factor in the Dukes repeating their 2023 success.
• Caden Considine, Byron, jr., FB/LB – As eye-popping as his offensive numbers were for the 3A state champions, Considine’s defense as a sophomore was as crucial for the Tigers. In a 26-20 win over Montini in a semifinal, Considine had an interception at Bryon’s 4-yard line, returned it 46 yards, then ran on seven of Byron’s eight plays for the go-ahead touchdown. An all-stater and a state champion as a sophomore, seeing what he can accomplish as a junior should be worth watching.
• Jared Claunch, Byron, sr., OL/DL – Considine gets the numbers, but Claunch is the dude paving the way. That touchdown run against Montini? It was a 1-yard run right behind Claunch. A first-team all-state selection in Class 3A with Considine, Claunch also was a state-qualifying wrestler.
• Logan Weems, Oregon sr., RB/LB –Oregon returned to the playoffs for the first time since 2014 last season and
short. We’re giving it our all. It’s just too much for us to handle the last couple years.”
Janicke said players have done a good job understanding the tradition of success that Forreston has established.
“Our seniors kind of understand that this is their last shot at it, so they’ve been kind of dictating the vibe and how practices have been going,” Janicke said. “They’ve been doing a really good job.”
Janicke said there are eight seniors who will see significant playing time: Evan Boettner (RB/LB), Ayden Book (OL/DL), Devin Bratt (OL/DL), Coehen Kirchner (RB/DB), Bryce Miller (OL/ DL), Colton Saldecki (OL/DL), Alec Schoonhoven (OL/DL) and Dane Setterstrom (RB/LB). Forreston also has 10 juniors and 10 sophomores on the varsity roster.
Forreston starts the season with Fulton, which it beat 22-18 last year. Janicke said the Steamers have developed into a bit of a rival with the games going
may be poised for even bigger things in 2024. And Weems is a big part of that. He was on the conference’s second team after carrying the ball 223 times. If he can make a leap in his senior campaign, the Hawks may not have to settle for a one-and-done postseason again.
• Nathan Kleba, Genoa-Kingston, sr., QB/ OLB – Kleba brings experience at the quarterback spot, but not so much at outside linebacker, where he shifts to the position for the first time. Coach Cam Davekos said he’s proud of how Kleba has progressed at the position after the coaches went to hit to take over the position. He was open-minded and now, Davekos said, ready to go.
Week 1 – Oregon at North Boone: Last year’s season opener between the two teams was a grudge match, with the Hawks eking out a 6-0 win. The Vikings ended up 6-3 in the conference and in third place while Oregon went 5-4, and both teams lost in the first round of the playoffs.
Week 3 – Stillman Valley at Rockford Lutheran: Each team went 5-4 last year, with the Crusaders bowing out in the first round and the Cardinals squeaking out a 21-20 win at Noble-Johnson in the first round. Stillman Valley was a 48-28 winner in the game last year, but lost two of their next three games –including to North Boone and Oregon. The Crusaders won four out of their last five regular-season games after the loss.
Week 8 – Byron at Dixon: Last year, the Dukes gave the Tigers their closest regular-season game to that point in a 49-6 win for Byron. The Tigers only
back and forth in recent matchups.
The NUIC also has gotten stronger with the addition of Morrison.
Janicke said the team must be better at running the ball. The Cardinals attempted only 27 passes last season.
“We’re still going to play really tough defense and turn the ball over, make some stops on the field,” he said. “And mistake-free special teams because special teams can win or lose you some games like we learned two years ago.”
Janicke said it still will be Forreston football this year.
“Same identity, but hopefully people know us as a hardworking team that is relentless and you won’t want to play us again after the game is over,” he said, “win, lose or draw.”
Schedule: Aug. 30 at Fulton; Sept. 6 Dakota; Sept. 13 Galena; Sept. 20 at Eastland-Pearl City; Sept. 27 at Morrison; Oct. 4 Stockton; Oct. 11 at Hazel Green Southwestern (Wisconsin); Oct. 18 Du-Pec; Oct. 25 at Lena-Winslow.
played two more games closer than that en route to winning their second state title in three years. Dixon went 9-2, the only losses coming to 3A champ Byron and 4A runner-up St. Laurence.
Week 8 – Genoa-Kingston at Rock Falls: Two wins may not seem like a lot, but for the Rockets it was their most wins in a season since 2017. If they’re looking to make a statement, this would be their chance against a Cogs team that went 4-5 and finished a spot ahead of them in the standings. G-K was a 52-13 winner last year, their biggest win of the year and one of only two times they topped 28 points in a game. The Cogs had qualified for seven straight postseasons before last year, and if they want to get back they’re going to have to continue to take care of business against the Rockets.
Week 8 – Oregon at Rockford Lutheran: Part of a very intriguing slate of games on Oct. 18, the Hawks and Crusaders meet in what’s sure to have playoff implications. Both have Week 9 games against teams that missed the 2023 postseason, so the winner of this could have some definite momentum heading into a potential playoff run. The Crusaders won 22-14 last season.
