Hiking in snow at Castle Rock Snowshoeing trek offered by park district By Chris Johnson Reporter Hiking through one of the many trails at the state parks in Ogle County may seem like a difficult task in the winter months. However, thanks to snowshoes, the trails open up a unique landscape. “It was beautiful,” said Julie Cheatham, Polo, after finishing a hike through Castle Rock State Park on Saturday morning. Feb. 7. Cheatham was one of 10 people taking part in a snowshoeing event through the Oregon Park District. Snowshoeing is an activity that anyone who can walk can accomplish, said organizer Candice Holbrook. “The thing about Candice Holbrook, Oregon Park District recreation program snowshoeing is you do not manager, leads a group of 10 on a snowshoeing trip through have the ability to get out of Castle Rock State Park on Feb. 7.

The fourth annual February Finds, held at the Mt. Morris Moose Family Center, drew an estimated 500 people, possibly matching the best crowd ever, according to event organizer Edie White. “It was great. We had a great turnout. We don’t have everything totaled up yet, but it may have been our largest crowd ever,” White said Tuesday. Sunshine and temperatures in the 40s offered a pleasant day for people to get out, especially after the blizzard that left more than a foot of snow behind the previous weekend. “I think everyone who came was looking for things to add to their collections,” White said. “And people came out to socialize.

I am going to hit it,” said Julie, who was on her third snowshoeing hike. Hikers were shown how to strap on snowshoes and prepare trekking poles at Nash Recreation Center before heading to the park. Once at the park, Holbrook had everyone in the group practice walking in snowshoes before heading out onto the trail. “I want to get people to enjoy being outdoors,” said Holbrook. “Having people
fall in love with snowshoeing and being outdoors in the winter is fun.” Throughout the hike Holbrook encouraged the group to spread out and enjoy the trail to avoid looking at the “backside of the person in front of you the entire hike.” About halfway through the hike the group came across an overlook that offered an uninterrupted view of the surroundings. Except for deer tracks
through the snow, the scene was filled with snow covered trees and a blanket of snow covering the ground. “It was a very nice view,” said Craig Cheatham. Just down the hill the hiking trail split into two paths. Group members could choose to finish the short hike, or turn right to add another two miles to the trip. By a vote, the group was Turn to A10

No action at special board meeting matter but took no action on it afterward. The regular board meeting set for Tuesday, Feb. 17 has been rescheduled to Wednesday, Feb. 25 at 6:30 p.m. at the Oregon High
School library. The date was changed due to a scheduling conflict. Regular board meetings are usually held on the third Monday of each month. The February meeting
had been set for a Tuesday because Presidents Day, a school holiday, falls on the third Monday. The meetings are open to the public.

Merchandise included antique furniture, antique tools, primitives, tins, lamps, vintage clothing and jewelry, tin toys, collectibles, quilts and linens, artwork, stamps, postcards, tin lunch pails, local advertising memorabilia, Depression Glass, pottery, and enamelware. A bake sale put on by the Let Freedom Ring Committee was almost sold out by early afternoon. Robert and Evelyn Thomas took advantage of the almost spring-like day to drive up from Dixon. Robert said they weren’t looking for anything in particular Saturday, but usually come to the event. “We enjoy looking,” he said. “And it’s not far from home.” Vendors were also pleased with the crowd. Howie Herman, Mt. Morris, was enjoying a brisk business at the booth of collectibles he was sharing with Kris Brunner, Stockton. “It’s been a good show,”

New veterinarian wants to keep all pets healthy By Vinde Wells Editor

Busy day at February Finds From A1 Across the room, Donna Rittenhouse, Mt. Morris, and her daughter Tammy Provo, agreed. “It’s been busy,� Provo said.
“A lot of people have been going through.� “It’s a good day to visit with old friends,� Rittenhouse said. The proceeds from the event will be split three ways, White
said, between the Moose Lodge, the Let Freedom Ring Committee, and the Mt. Morris Firemen’s Association for restoration of its 1930 fire engine.
Ash Wednesday is Feb. 18 St. Paul Lutheran Church, Oregon, will hold two services on Wednesday, Feb. 18 in observance of Ash Wednesday. A simple service will be held at 12:15 p.m. for those who wish to receive ashes on their foreheads during the lunch hour.
A more extensive service will be held at 7 p.m. and will include the imposition of ashes.
Two truck drivers escaped serious injury Feb. 6 in a crash approximately three miles west of Polo. Ogle County Sheriff’s Police said a semi tractortrailer combination vehicle driven by Reuben Smith, 52, Chicago, failed to yield the right-of-way to a Dodge Ram
3500 pulling a loaded 30-foot gooseneck trailer, driven by David Knapp, 57, Saginaw, Minn., at the intersection of U.S. 52 and Freeport Road. According to the crash report, Smith was northbound on Freeport Road, attempting to turn left onto U.S. 52 when his vehicle struck Knapp’s,
Ash Wednesday makes the beginning of Lent. It is a day observed by many Christian denominations to remind them of the betrayal and
suffering of Jesus. It also reminds them that they are made from the dust of the ground and will return to the ground when they are buried.
Oregon’s newest veterinarian is committed to keeping pets healthy in every way. “I like to see the bond between people and animals and keeping that healthy,� said Emily Schier. “I like to focus on client communication and how we can prevent disease.� Schier, 28, began her practice in Oregon on Feb. 2, working with Dr. Tom Champley and the staff at Pines Meadow Veterinary Clinic, where she will focus her time on treating pets. “I’ll be doing general practice,� she said. “ We can offer new safer medications today. It’s good to be working in an environment that’s open to the advances of veterinary medicine.� Schier and her husband Eric live in Mt. Morris, where he and his father Larry raise beef cattle. She previously was in a practice in the Lena and Freeport area but decided she wanted to work closer to home. Animals have always been an important part of her life. Growing up in the Sycamore area, she was involved in 4-H and FFA and showed pigs.
Veterinarian Emily Schier poses with her dogs, Dannie Rae, a Labrador retriever, and Lily, corgi-lab mix. Schier began a practice at Pines Meadow Veterinary Clinic on Feb. 2. Photo by Vinde Wells
“And we always had dogs,� she said. One of the perks of her job is that her two dogs, Lily and Dannie Rae, can come to work with her every day. Becoming a veterinarian was not her plan when she went off to college at Iowa State University. “I actually wanted to be a
teacher,� Schier said. “But I was also interested in medicine and surgery.� Doing a swine research project at the university led her to change her major. “That got me interested in being a vet,� she said. She earned her doctor of veterinary medicine degree at the University of Illinois.
In remembrance, ashes in the shape of a cross are placed on their fireheads.

which was westbound on U.S. 52. The crash occurred at 12:09 p.m. The collision caused Knapp’s truck and trailer to slide and roll over onto the passenger side, blocking both lanes of U.S. 52 at the intersection. The semi partially blocked Freeport Road. Smith was transported to CGH Medical Center, Sterling, by Milledgeville ambulance. He was checked over and released. Knapp was taken by Polo ambulance to KSB Hospital, Dixon. His dog was taken to the Polo Animal Hospital, where it was checked over and kept until Knapp was later released from the hospital. Smith was issued citations for failure to yield at an intersection and for being over length on a non-truck route roadway. The Polo Fire Department assisted at the scene.
An eye exam is a good idea, especially if things are starting to look a little fuzzy around the edges.

Landers and his son E.G. (Tim) Landers united the newspapers into the Republican Reporter. Ernest D. Landers died in 1966, and E.G. and Behan became partners. Eventually, E.G. Landers assumed sole ownership, and in 1985 he sold the newspaper to B.F. Shaw Printing of Dixon, publisher of the Sauk Valley Newspapers. Ogle County Newspapers also prints the Mt.

This lecture will examine the origins and characteristics of meteors and meteorites, and explain the differences.

Governments can apply for Clean-up Day grants The Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department (OCSWMD) is once again offering grants to units of government to help fund Clean-up Days throughout the county. A Clean-Up Day could allow people in the area to dispose of waste tires, appliances, and other types of waste which may not be
picked up by the regular refuse collection service. This could be a one-day event or a special drop-off point where residents could drop off items for a limited time. Cleaning up a section of a river in Ogle County could also be considered. The maximum grant amount is $2,000. Matching funds at the ratio of 50/50
must be provided by the city, village or township. Matching funds can be met partially through paid labor by city or township staff, or by volunteer or “inkind hours.” The application is easy to complete, but the funds are limited, so if interested, apply early. The application must include the estimated
costs of obtaining an adequate number of rolloff dumpsters, disposal at the landfill, personnel and other expenses related to implementing this project. If applicants need help in estimating these costs, call a local refuse hauling company or the OCSWMD. If possible, arrangements should be made for the
separation and recycling of materials collected during the event. Recyclable materials should include scrap metal, white goods (large appliances), tires, plastics, paper, aluminum, and glass, depending on available services and outlets for the materials. Each application will be
reviewed by staff and then referred to the Ogle County Solid Waste Committee of the County Board. Grants will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information or to receive an application visit www.oglecounty.org or call 815-732-4020.
Infectious disease lecture scheduled at Highland The HCC Global Task Force, Boyer Colloquium and Highland Community College, Freeport, will host a lecture and discussion entitled, “Ebola and Other Dangerous, Contagious Diseases” on Tuesday, Feb. 17 at 7 p.m. in the Student/
Conference Center, Room H201. The lecture and discussion will be facilitated by Robert Geller, MD, MS, FACP, FIDSA, Infectious Disease Specialist and Vice-President of Medical Affairs for FHN. In recent months, the
country and the rest of the world faced an outbreak of ebola, and while these fears have started to die down, concerns remain about possible pandemics. The lecture will allow members of the community to hear from and interact
with an expert in the field of infectious diseases. Geller works with area health departments to identify and address infectious illnesses as quickly as possible, because the best way to fight disease is to prevent it.
He is a member of professional associations such as Fellow of the Infectious Disease Society; Fellow of the American College of Physicians; member of the American College of Physician Executives and a member

Illinois 4-H Foundation receives a $30,000 donation The Illinois 4-H Foundation has received a donation from Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) Company to fund science learning and exploration for Illinois youth involved in the 4-H I Think Green and 4-H Citizen Scientist programs. The I Think Green Program engages youth in investigating how living things interact with each other and with their environment. More than 1,350 youth were involved in one or more
of the three I Think Green curriculums: worms, insects and butterflies. With additional funding, the program will add two new curriculums this year: nature detectives and carnivorous plants. “The program helps youth develop skills in scientific observation while it increases their understanding of how living things function, adapt, change and interact within the environment,” said Bill Million, University of Illinois
Extension Specialist, 4-H Youth Development. “The program reinforces the importance that small things play in the web of life; and that youth can do small things to help protect the environment.” The 4-H Citizen Scientist program provides junior and senior high youth opportunities to extend learning beyond current 4-H project work into the world of hands-on research. As a citizen scientist, 4-H members observe and record
information from a stream site close to their home community. The members collect data from samples taken at their site and contribute their data to the growing field of scientific research related to water quality. Trainings are conducted in cooperation with Illinois RiverWatch. Once trained, each team of citizen scientists receives a complete toolkit to help them monitor water quality of
Illinois’ wadeable streams. Since its beginning, 82 youth and adults from 11 counties have been certified in Illinois RiverWatch. As an Illinois 4-H Project Partner, a portion of ADM’s $30,000 donation also supports Illinois 4-H teen leadership programs. The donation was given through ADM Cares. ADM Cares is a social investment program that directs funds to initiatives and organizations that drive meaningful social,
economic and environmental progress worldwide. The program comprises three distinct focus areas: supporting the responsible development of agriculture, improving the quality of life in ADM communities and fostering employee giving and volunteer activities. Since 1954, the Illinois 4-H Foundation has raised funds from individuals, corporations and organizations to supplement state and county 4-H programs.
Former Oregon HS ag teacher now at Highland The Highland Community College (HCC) has seen several changes to the Agriculture Department. These changes began when Justin Ebert, Oregon was hired as the new, fulltime Agriculture Instructor. Ebert has spent the past 14 years as a high school Agriculture Instructor and FFA Advisor. Most of those 14 years was spent at Oregon High School in Ogle County. When he is not in the classroom, Ebert spends his time raising four children with his wife Amy and tending to a small cow-calf herd with his family. Another change at HCC was the creation of the Highland Agriculture Club. This student organization is open to any HCC student with interest in agriculture. The club gives students the opportunity to meet people with similar interests and develop skills to be successful beyond college. Students involved in the Agriculture Club also participate in the PostSecondary Agriculture Students (PAS) Organization. This national organization allows students to test their knowledge in agriculture topic areas, and work on
job interview and resume building activities. This past fall the Highland Agriculture Club took 11 students to Bloomington to compete in the Fall Illinois PAS Conference. The following students participated in various events including Crop Specialist – Ben Patterson and Marshall Fink, both of Lanark; Beef Specialist – Justin Lott and Tyler Thomas, both of Pearl City; and Courtney Swalve, Chadwick Other events were Livestock Specialist – Luke Jeffery and Hunter Asche, both of Orangeville; Chase Stoddard, Byron; Public Speaking – Chris Cummins, Pearl City; Karissa Corbin, Oregon; and Agriculture Education – Michelle Spittler, Forreston. This month the club will attend the Annual PAS Conference at John Wood Community College and compete in other career specific areas. The Highland Agriculture Club is also exploring ways to engage with the community through high school visits and fundraising opportunities. In the classroom, students learned Agriculture Economics, Agriculture
Today’s
P
Financing, Animal Science, and Soil Science. Students also got the chance to get out of the room and explore the agriculture industry. The Animal Science class took trips to Spectrum Meats in Mt. Morris, Holland Dairy Farm in Apple River, Hunter Haven Farm in Pearl City, and Lena Veterinary Clinic in Lena. The Soils class judged soil profiles in Polo and on Keith Hinrichs’ Farm next to campus. The Economics and Finance classes had guest speakers Brock Gill from Apple River State Bank and Kurt Zuck from Farm Credit Services visit classes. This semester students are taking Crop Science, Forage Production, Animal Nutrition, Agriculture Marketing, Agriculture Mechanics, and Artificial Insemination. Part-time instructors at HCC are Bill Kuhlemeier and Brian Dinderman helping teach classes this spring. The Agriculture Department is adding some new classes in the areas of crop management and agriculture education. Kristi Dinderman will teach

and coach the Highland Community College Dairy Judging Team next fall. The Agriculture Club
looks to offer more social and education opportunities for the students. For more information call

By Mary Gardner Reading Specialist There’s something magical about stories. Humans have been creating stories for centuries and people of all ages enjoy hearing stories being read or told to them. Passing stories from one generation to the next also passes on family culture and traditions. Stories and storytelling also play an important role in the reading development of our children and grandchildren. Oral language development provides a vital foundation for learning to read. Children learn to speak by listening to the language around them.
Back and forth conversations help children’s vocabulary and language skills grow. They quickly learn about language and communication. Reading aloud to children or telling them stories will also contribute to oral language development in positive ways. Additionally, stories have an important role in reading comprehension. As children hear a variety of stories they learn about the language of stories. They learn about characters, setting, and the problems and solutions that tie them together. Listening to stories being read or told from an early age fills them with the wonderful language of stories such as “once upon a time” and “a wee little baby bear.” They carry that knowledge and language with them as they learn to read and discover stories on their own.

So, we can, and certainly should, read aloud to our children and grandchildren. We can also tell them stories. We can tell them about things that happened when we grew up. We can tell them stories we heard from our families. We can find stories in books or on the Internet then learn them and share them. Traditional fairy tales are good choices and there are still many references to them in our culture. Myths and legends are also favorites. I have used the trickster tales about Anansi the spider on several occasions and have been amazed at how long the children remember them. No matter how you choose to share the magic of stories, there’s value in the learning aspects. There’s also value in the time spent together and that’s another kind of magic!

Mural will be displayed at the Oregon Public Library Fifth and sixth grade students at Oregon Elementary School painted a mural that will be on display at the Oregon Public Library on the landing going up to the Art Gallery. The students are currently studying key figures of The Harlem Renaissance in art class. Students volunteered last week during their lunch and recess time to paint pieces of Lawrence’s “Library” to
assemble a four-by-five foot mural. Students painted with tempera, just as Lawrence had used. Each student mixed his or her own colors and identified the placement by looking at an image of the original painting. This activity tied in well with the classroom discussion about how the arts reflect and impact communities. They have illustrated poems by writers such as Langston Hughes, listened to

jazz by musicians like Jelly Roll Morton, and critiqued artworks by Jacob Lawrence, Romare Bearden and Lois Mailou Jones. To coincide with this unit, the Art Club collaborated to recreate an artwork by Jacob Lawrence. As students continue their study of The Harlem Renaissance, each will create an original artwork with an accompanying written story or poem as well as a personal selection of music. Classes will curate an exhibition of their peers to display in the community. Fifth grade students in the program are Dylan Alcala, Wesley Immel, Hayden Klapp, Isabella Koertner, Maxwell Miller, Cassandra Nyderek, Taylar Rufer, and Avery Sellers. Sixth grade students are Andrew Barnhart, Nicholas Beitel, Madyson Black, Heather Braden, Travis Ebens, Sydney Hermes, Deven Kenerson, Whitney Kirk, Claire Labash, Brenna Noon, Erin Schmidt, Deborah Smice, Andon Taylor, and Grace White,

Liam Izer wins geography bee Liam Izer, a sixth grade student at Oregon Elementary School, won the school competition of the National Geographic Bee on Jan. 30. He now has a chance at a $50,000 college scholarship. The school bee, at which the students answered questions on geography, was the first round in the 27th annual National Geographic Bee.
Thousands of schools around the U.S. are participating in the Bee. School champions, including Izer, will take a written test; up to 100 of the top scorers on that test in each state will be eligible to compete in their state Bee on March 27. The National Geographic Society will provide an all-expense paid trip to
Washington, D.C. for the state winners to participate in the Bee national championship rounds May 11-13. Everyone can test their geography knowledge with the exciting GeoBee Challenge, an online geography quiz at www. national geographic.com/ geobee, which poses 10 new questions a day.

Park district is planning more snowshoeing hikes From A1 split as to which path to take. Carissa Hallam, who was helping with the hike, volunteered to lead half the group on the extended hike. A few minutes later the groups were calling through the forest back and forth before finally being too far away to see each other. The hike continued for the first group until they reached a park road. “Last year I remembered when I was by the road and thought we were done,” said Julie. “There is still a final hill. The uphill hike at the end is hard.” This year she knew there was still more trail to go and did not hesitate to keep going up the trail. After conquering the final hill, just a leisurely downhill walk remained to get back to the parking lot. Anyone interested in learning how to snowshoe

SECTION B
Thursday, February 12, 2015
Lady Hawks bowling team rolls on to sectional By Ty Reynolds Sauk Valley Media As their cushion dwindled, the Oregon Hawks realized they were in danger of missing out on a trip to the sectional tournament. They weren’t about to let that happen. The Hawks, who held the fourth and final team spot by 95 pins heading into the final game at the Sterling Regional Feb. 7, saw that lead shrink to fewer than 20 pins midway through that sixth game. But they persevered down the stretch, eventually pulling away from a pesky Rockford East team to take that last spot 5,370-5,301. “Being that last one to bowl is nerve racking, because you feel the pressure to make up for any of your teammates’ open frames,” junior Abi Scheidecker said. “But as a team, we just had to relax and roll the ball like we know we can, and we picked it up.”
The Dixon Duchesses also moved on as a team, finishing one spot higher than Oregon with a 5,512 pinfall. Emily Quaco led the way in fifth place with a 1,217, highlighted by a 235 opening game, and a 254 fifth game. Mackenzie Kavanaugh was 12th with a 1,159, capped by a 226 final game, and Margaret Thomas was 20th with a 1,057. “We were just focused on the team today,” Quaco said. “If one of us was down, the rest of us just picked her up. It was a big relief in the afternoon to see ourselves easily in that top four.” “We were pretty confident coming in that we’d all be bowling next week,” Thomas added, “and once we started picking up spares – which has gotten us down lately – we felt really good about where we stood.” The Scheidecker twins led the Hawks, as Ali placed sixth with a 1,214 (highlighted by 223 games to open the morning and
afternoon sessions), and Abi finished eighth with a 1,207 (224 high game, five games of 200 or better). Tayla Smith added a top20 finish, placing 16th with an 1,100. Victoria Barnhart finished with a 1013 series. “We came in confident, but not overconfident, and I don’t think we were nervous, really,” Ali Scheidecker said. “There was a major change in the oil pattern from the first three games to the last three games, but we relaxed and kept our cool and got it done.” Freeport won the title with a 6,076, with all five bowlers finishing in the top 11 to easily top second-place Sycamore (5,715). Rockford Jefferson’s Sabrina Stoltz was the individual winner, rolling a 1,330 to cruise past runner-up Hannah Hoffman of Rockford East (1,268) The sectional will be held at Don Carter Lanes, Rockford, on Saturday, Feb. 14 at 1 p.m.

Six Hawks Qualify Wrestlers will host sectional this week By Randy Holland In the toughest wrestling regional in the state, Dakota showed why they are the topranked team, but the Oregon wrestlers showed that they might need a little more recognition. While the Indians racked up 228 points to take the team title on Feb. 7, the Hawks were giving thirdranked Lena-Winslow a run for third place, finishing just a half point behind them with 114 points and just 13.5 behind second ranked Byron. Six Oregon wrestlers advanced to the sectional tournament to be held in Oregon at the Blackhawk Center, starting at 4:30 p.m. on Friday and continuing on Saturday at 10 a.m. The consolation semifinals and the first and third place matches to determine the state qualifiers will start at 2:30 p.m. On Saturday, junior Matt Crandall led the Hawks, taking the 285-pound championship in a 1-0 battle over previously unbeaten and fourth ranked Eli Birdik of Durand. Dominic Marchetti at 145, Matt Stevens at 195, and David Labash at 220 finished second to advance. Christopher Alaniz won by a fall in the 106-pound third place match, and John Ghibellini took a 1-0 win to take third at 182 to qualify. Three senior wrestlers ended their careers at the
Sterling Newman ended the season for the Lady Hawks Monday night when they allowed one point the final 6 minutes and pulled away for a 45-34 victory at the Class 2A Fulton Regional. Newman (8-18) racked up 11 steals and forced Oregon into 24 turnovers, the key stat to break open what had been a nip-and-tuck contest. “Defense is always the big thing for us,” Newman sophomore forward Mary Jensen said. “Even when we don’t score, the defense keeps us going.” Oregon (11-18) led 33-28 after a basket from reserve guard Josie Sansone with 6 minutes to play, but was outscored 17-1 the rest of the Oregon’s Matthew Crandall and Durand’s Eli Burdick battle head-to-head during way. Jensen scored three baskets action in the 285-pound division at the Class 1A Dakota Regional on Feb. 7.

Photo by Julie Rude Newman a 35-33 lead with 4 minutes to play, and a stifling defense did the rest. “Ever since I took over the job, I said defense will lead
to good offense,” Newman coach Brandon Kreczmer said. “We were struggling a little bit offensively, so I said we’ve got to turn it up on defense. We did. Kelsey Simpson got some big steals down the stretch, and it led to some easy points for us.” Newman was able to pull away without senior guard Aubree Schmitt on the floor for a good chunk of the second half. She left with her fourth foul at the 3:31 mark of the third quarter and Oregon ahead 25-17. Simpson responded with two quick buckets, and the Comets were on their way. “I’m not going to lie, I was worried a little bit when Aubree got her fourth foul because she’s the leader,” Kreczmer said. “She’s the floor general, but other girls stepped up.” Oregon led by as many as nine points (23-14) after a pair of free throws from junior forward Abby Newman with 4:39 left in the third quarter, and was still in good position early in the fourth quarter. At clutch time, however, the Hawks produced a parade of missed shots and turnovers. “We tensed up, and they Turn to B2

Garrett Rude was pinned in the 170-pound third place match, Corey Grady was defeated in the 152-pound consolation semifinals, and Zim Granados at 132 pounds lost in the preliminary round of the wrestlebacks. Terry Page represented the Hawks at 160 pounds, dropping from the competition in the consolation quarterfinals. In a full bracket at 285, Crandall started as the
second seed used a power half at 1:34 to move to the semifinals. It was a tough match, scoreless through the first two periods, Crandall reversing in the third to take a 2-0 win. Birdik was quick and strong. Both wrestlers had a chance for a takedown in the first, but they went scoreless. Crandall switched out in the second period for the only score of the match. On top in the third, Crandall rode
strong and wore Birdik down to take the title. Marchetti went to the wing for a fall at 1:14 in the opening round. In the semifinals against honorable mention Jake Keller of Durand, Marchetti lost the first takedown but reversed into a chicken wing for three points as Keller was saved by the buzzer. He had another set of backpoints before he worked Oregon’s Alli Henson lets go of a runner Monday night into a half nelson for a pin at against Newman in the Fulton 2A Regional.

Six OHS wrestlers advance to Oregon Sectional From B1 5:43. The final wasn’t pretty. Top ranked JJ Wolfe of Dakota took an 11-0 first period lead, and finished a 15-0 technical fall with flip for a reverse to the back nine seconds into the second period. Stevens had a first round bye and trailed 6-3 after losing a reverse to his back and a late takedown in the first period of the semifinal. Twenty five seconds into second, Stevens ran a wing to advance to the final against Maverick McPeek of Dakota. Stevens trailed 4-1 after the first. A reverse out the back and a throw for a five point move put him back on top in the second, but he lost two costly penalty points late in the period to lead by one. Stevens lost an escape midway through the third, and they went to overtime tied at seven. With 18 seconds left in the extra period, Stevens tried a throw, but slipped off and McPeek jumped on him to take the championship 9-7. Labash also got a bye to the semifinals where he went outside with a single with 10 seconds left in the first period and he rode out the second .and took the 2-0 lead to the third. He lost and escape then got a takedown with 30 seconds left to preserve a 4-1 win to go to the title match. Top-ranked Ross Sealby of Byron made quick work of Labash in the final, ripping him down and putting on a half nelson in 33 seconds. Alaniz drew Tim Cholke of Polo in the opening round. Alaniz scored first on an outside single and added a wing work for three points in the second period. He stepped over for a reverse to the back in the third to complete a 9-0 major decision. In the semifinal, sixth ranked Austin Vincent of Lena-Winslow, put Alaniz on his back in a wing for three points in the first period, and used a wing and a reverse half to pin Alaniz at the five minute mark. Vincent finished second. In the wrestleback semifinal, Alaniz had a first period takedown and a reverse midway through the third, following that with a half nelson for two points at
the final buzzer to secure a 6-1 win. In the medal match against Jake Rose of Stillman, Alaniz had backpoints with a butcher to take a 7-2 second period lead. Countering for a takedown to start the third, he found a cradle at 4:45 to punch his ticket to the sectional. Ghibellini had two first period takedowns and a turk for three backpoints before he found a half nelson and worked into a Saturday night to advance with a pin at 5:44. In the semifinal, Ghibellini was holding his own against second place finisher Justin Whitehouse of ‘Bago, down 3-1 after two periods, but he got caught a half nelson and pinned at 5:33, dropping to the lower bracket. In the wrestleback semifinal against Alex Victorov of Dakota, Ghibellini led 5-1 when he worked a half nelson at 2:51. In the third place match against Evan Neblock of Durand, neither wrestler could finish a takedown in the first, and Ghibellini couldn’t score on top in the second. Thirty seconds into the third Neblock put on a cradle, but Ghibellini escaped without giving up any points, and the one point held up for the win. Rude was in a tough bracket, feeding into top ranked Carver James of Dakota and with third ranked Brandon Elsbury of Byron coming up the other side. Also in the mix was sixth ranked Ethan Cain of Polo, who defeated Rude twice during the season, once by a fall and a narrow decision. Rude got through his first match against Elijah Rowe of Le-Win with an 11-5 decision, highlighted by two half nelsons in the first period. James started with a takedown to the back in the semifinal and added two tilts, an escape and takedown to start the second, and hooked up a wing to finish a 15-0 technical fall at 3:06. On the other side of the bracket, Cain started with a takedown to the back in 10 seconds. Cain gave Elsbury a fight. A reverse by Elsbury midway through the second was the only score in the match, with Elsbury riding out the last three minutes. In the wrestleback

semifinals, Rude pinned in 50 seconds, swimming with the wing and the half, and Cain won an 11-0 major decision. He used a leg scissors, the half nelson, and the turk for his nearfalls. Rude and Cain met in the third place match. The first period was scoreless. In the second, Cain hit a roll into a turk for five points. Rude elected neutral in the third and quickly took Cain down and let him up, but Cain got the next shot and drove Rude to his back and pinned him at 5:03 to earn the trip to the next level. Grady, up at 152 for the first time this season, started with a wing and a half for a fall at 2:39. That fed him into top ranked Greg Krulas of Dakota who worked an arm bar into a headlock to pin Grady at 1:16. Grady dropped to the consolation semifinal against Noah Keller of Durand and had a see-saw match, Grady scoring the first takedown but winding up tied at six in the third. With 25 seconds left, Grady lost a reverse and could not answer, ending his tournament. Granados drew eleventh ranked Rahweon Valentine of Lena in the opening round. Valentine scored backpoints twice before pinning with a reverse half at 1:05. Valentine went on to upset second rankled Andrew Wenger of Dakota in the championship.

He got within two points with an escape and reverse in the second, but lost a late reversal, and could not score on top in the third, losing 8-4. Page started with eventual third place finisher Connor Davis of Lena, losing a counter for the first takedown and a half nelson out front at 3:32 to drop to the consolation semifinal where he met Drake Jennings of Stillman Valley. Once again, Page had a good shot but lost the takedown. In the second, he lost a switch and then was put into a cradle for two points and a wing for two more, escaping from the wing to trail 8-1 after two. Another shot was countered in the third and Page lost 10-1 to end his day. Jennings lost 4-2 in overtime to Davis.

Sports Column Announcer has not given up on his dream job By Andy Colbert Reporter On Sept. 13 of 2013, this column shared the story of wanne-be sports announcer Scott Swartz. The then 34-year old gave up the security of a wellpaying job as a high school teacher in Rochelle to pursue this dream. A recent column on public address announcing got me wondering what became of Scott Swartz and his unlikely odyssey. Well, here is his story and let’s preface it by making a simple statement – earning a good living as professional sports broadcaster is a long
shot, at best. Since leaving the teaching profession, Swartz was able to find a few gigs, starting with doing play-by-play for the NIU hockey team over the Internet. That morphed into a similar position with the Chicago Steel, a top-tier junior hockey league team. In the summer, it was doing baseball broadcasting for the Sioux Falls (South Dakota) Canaries, an independent minor league team. While being separated from his wife and children for much of the time at Sioux Falls, Swartz began to question the dream chasing. “That was really hard – being away from my family,” Swartz said. “But, when I made the decision to do this, I was going in whole hog.” Even though the pay was poor and the hours bad, Swartz did receive intrinsic
blessings along the way, such as the head broadcaster for NBC hockey acknowledging his work. “It was quiet an amazing moment,” Swartz said. “Doc Emrick came over and tapped me on the shoulder one day and introduced himself. He said he was a regular listener and really liked our work.” The position with the Steel also enabled Swartz to rub shoulders with the likes of Eddie Olczyz and Blackhawk coach Joel Quenneville. A genuine labor of love, Swartz was still enjoying what he was doing, with that dream of making it to the big stage still alive. However, that all changed this past March when his wife Betsie lost her position as an elementary teacher in the Oregon school system. Interestingly, when I reread the previous column I had written on Swartz,
the reason he gave for quitting his job to pursue broadcasting was because Betsie had just been hired by Oregon, allowing for some semblance of financial security. “We were given no reason why she was let go,” said Swartz, obviously disheartened over the situation. “Between broadcasting and a little consulting work for the regional office of education that I was doing, I was maybe making about $8,000 a year.” Now, with his wife out of work, Swartz had little choice but to give up his broadcasting career and try to get back into teaching full-time. He contacted his old boss, Rochelle superintendent Jamie Craven, about any openings. There were none, but Craven, recognizing the exemplary job Swartz did
at Rochelle, went to bat for him. When a high school English position became open at Polo, Swartz was fortunate to be hired, most likely due to Craven’s recommendation. “I owe Jamie everything and also appreciate Chris Rademacher and Andy Faivre for taking a chance on me,” Swartz said. “The staff welcomed me and the kids are great. I didn’t realize how much I missed teaching.” Swartz hasn’t given up his dream of sports broadcasting quite yet. He’s still working for the Steel, along with some PA at Rochelle and Polo basketball games. “For my family, it’s best that I do this – be a dad and teach,” Swartz said. “I have no regrets about pursuing a dream and I have no regrets about going back into teaching.”

Is the dream over for Swartz? “When my kids grow up and things change, I don’t know what the future will bring,” Swartz said. “I had some really fabulous, amazing experiences doing (broadcasting).”

AGs’ letter calls for stations to stop selling synthetic drugs Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan has sent a letter calling on nine oil companies to take steps to stop synthetic drugs from being illegally sold at gas stations and convenience stores operating under their brand names Madigan noted that law enforcement agencies have confirmed more than 130 instances of branded gas stations having illegally sold synthetic drugs across the country in recent years. The letter from Madigan,
the Florida attorney general and 41 other attorneys general expressed serious concerns about the reported incidents of gas stations and convenience stores operating under brand names of reputable oil companies and selling illegal synthetic drugs. Synthetic drug use has increased dramatically over the past several years. Starting in 2010, over 11,000 people, many of whom were younger than 17, went to the emergency room after using
“When teens and young adults can find synthetic drugs for sale at gas stations operating under wellknown brands, its gives these illegal products the false appearance of legitimacy when in fact they are very dangerous, potentially deadly drugs,” — Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan synthetic marijuana. “When teens and young adults can find synthetic drugs for sale at gas stations operating under well-known brands, its gives these illegal products the false appearance of legitimacy when in fact they are very
dangerous, potentially deadly drugs,” Madigan said. “Oil companies spend millions of dollars on marketing campaigns designed to convince customers their brands are trustworthy. Prohibiting the sale of synthetic drugs in
their stores can only protect their brand reputations while also protecting our youth.” The letter was sent to top company officials at British Petroleum, Chevron Corporation, Citgo Petroleum Corporation, Exxon Mobil Corporation, Marathon Petroleum Corporation, Phillips 66, Shell Oil Company, Sunoco, and Valero Energy Corporation. In it, the attorneys general requested the companies address this growing
problem by: Prohibiting franchisees from selling any synthetic drugs; Ensuring the prohibition is understood by store franchisees and their employees by communicating directly with each of them; Establishing a point of contact in corporate offices for franchisees, should they have any questions about synthetic drugs; Revoking the franchisee/franchisor relationship with any gas station or convenience store Turn to B6

Plan, strategize and go over all the necessary information before you make a change. You will make far better progress working on your own than trying to collaborate with others. Keep your plans to yourself until you feel satisfied with the finished product. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You will have a hard time agreeing with others. Listen carefully and see if you can reach an amicable compromise rather than try to get everyone to do things your way. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Your reputation will be questioned if you fail to honor a promise. Keep your word and be consistent. Trying to do too many things at once will be your downfall. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Too much idle time will work against you. Concentrate on your strengths, and work diligently to reach your goal. No one will interfere with your plans if you are secretive. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t bring work home with you. Clear your mind and make your residence a place of peace
and comfort. Spending enjoyable quality time with your family will be the best stress reliever. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You’ll have time to play after you take care of your responsibilities. Whether you are at work or school, you should play by the rules and respect your superiors. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Share your thoughts and plans for the future. Do whatever it takes to help you reach your goal. Putting in additional hours will leave a good impression. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Leave yourself time to pursue a hobby or attend an event. Getting involved in a risky venture is best avoided. Emotional conflict will result in hurt feelings and alienation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Hold off making a decision until you feel less emotional. You are not obligated to act on the spur of the moment. Take your time. If someone pressures you, walk away. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Don’t allow anyone to take you for granted. You need to take
your responsibilities seriously if you want to be known as a trustworthy, dedicated contributor. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A partnership is apparent. You have plenty to offer, and your qualifications will guarantee that you reach your destination. Stick to your game plan, and don’t let anyone lead you astray. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- It’s time to deal with unfinished business. A troubling personal situation will disappear once you agree to compromise. Resist the urge to dominate, meddle or offer unsolicited advice. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t lend or borrow. Responsibly deal with any debt you’ve incurred. Walk away from anyone who is trying to guilt you into contributing to a risky venture that you feel uncertain about.

I had been to quite a few car dealerships in the last 10 days since totaling my car. I am sure glad I met Brent and the nice boys down at Majeski’s. They made a lady feel comfortable buying a car on her own. Cynthia McCombs Sterling, Illinois
For my first car purchase, this was a great experience, and I know I got a great deal. “Love my new Charger”

We had a great experience working with Brent, and would recommend anyone looking for a nice used car to come take a look! Barb and Matt Gaul Polo, Illinois
“Nice People”
Wonderful Experience! Thank you for making this an easy purchase! We are repeat customers for a reason! Mellissa and James Edwards Sterling, Illinois

This is the 17th car I have bought from Greg since he started selling in 1993! We loved working with Dan, his knowledge of automobiles is unparalleled!
