Fundraising underway for new Lowden statue Committee aims to raise $200,000

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com Fundraising has begun for a new marble statue that will honor Illinois Gov. Frank O. Lowden on

the Ogle County Courthouse lawn.

Stacy Flanagan, chairman of the Governor Lowden Memorial Committee, said Monday that committee members plan to raise at least $200,000 to cover the cost and installation of the statue, which will be situated on the northeast side of the courthouse lawn facing Ill. 2.

The statue will be sculpted by

Stillman Valley native Cody Janes, who currently lives in Volo.

Janes said the statue will be slightly larger than life and be mounted on a marble base.

“It will commemorate everything Lowden did for Oregon and Ogle County,” he said.

Once the funds are raised, Janes estimated that the work to complete

the statue will take about two years.

“It takes some time to carve a statue from stone,” he said. “The process is not as fast as casting it in bronze.”

The county board gave its approval in June of 2013 to locate the statue on the courthouse lawn.

Lowden, who served as the 25th Illinois Governor from 1917-1921,

sponsored picnics each July 4 for several years on the courthouse lawn.

Lowden and his wife Florence Pullman Lowden purchased land in Ogle County in 1899, which they developed into Sinnissippi Farms, southeast of Oregon. They lived there for many years.

Elevator coming to Oregon library

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com Construction of a new elevator for the Oregon Public Library will soon be underway.

The site has been marked and the rebar for the foundation was delivered Monday.

Excavators will be at the library this week preparing the pit for the foundation.

“We are starting the digging for the elevator shaft,” said library director Andrew Dettman. “They will get the pit foundation

set and then tarp it for the winter.”

The digging was scheduled to begin on Nov. 4.

Dettman said work on the basement of the building will be done throughout the winter.

When the weather warms up in the spring the elevator enclosure will be built.

“We had small setbacks but we will see how the project goes,” Dettman said.

Patrons will still have access to the main library throughout construction.

The elevator will allow the library to become handicapped accessible.

Memorial will be dedicated Nov. 11 Brigadier General (Retired) Steve Huber, Byron,will be the keynote speaker at the dedication ceremony for the new Ogle County Fallen Soldiers Memorial on Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 10 a.m.

The dedication will take place at the new memorial on the north side of the Ogle County Courthouse in Oregon.

Huber served as the Deputy Commanding General of 1st Army Division East, Commanding General of Combined Joint Task Force Phoenix, Kabul, Afghanistan, Deputy Chief of Staff, MultiNational Division-Central South in Iraq, Commander of the 108th Sustainment Brigade, and Commander of

Storefront offers visibility for embroidery business

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com A longtime Oregon businesswoman has moved uptown.

Carol Bellows opened her embroidery business Creative Designs back in 2001 and added custom longarm quilting in 2008.

For the last several years, her shop has been located on Pines Road in Oregon.

When a storefront in the heart of Oregon’s business district opened up, she saw an opportunity and decided to make a move.

The change of location was accomplished over Labor Day weekend, and Bellows opened her “new” doors on Sept. 8 at 306 W. Washington St. (Ill. 64).

“I love it up here,” Bellows

said. “I have more space and add a long-arm computerized for stitching the front, back, finishing work on their quilts. more visibility. The main quilting machine to her and batting of a quilt together.

is meeting her customers and seeing the different quilts they have created.

“I have awesome customers,” she said. “They do amazing work.”

The quilting part of the business has increased every year.

Last year Bellows did 210 quilts for customers, as well as 10 of her own.

Bellows got her love of quilting from her mother and grandmother and made her first quilt in 1985.

Her enthusiasm is apparently contagious — this year her husband Lloyd, a blacksmith, made his first quilt.

Creative Designs is open Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon.

He was appointed by President Calvin Coolidge as a member of the Memorial Commission for the Mt. Rushmore National Park in South Dakota.

Lowden was also law professor at Northwestern University, Evanston.

Several local areas are named for him, including

Lowden State Park, LowdenMiller State Forest, and Boy Scouts of America Camp Lowden.

Flanagan said the statue project will be funded by private donations.

The committee recently received its 501c3, not-forprofit designation and can now begin the fundraising phase of the project. “The committee will be contacting potential donors,�

Flanagan said. “And we will apply for grants.�

She said the tiered giving

system will come with incentives. Every donor will receive a commemorate gift depending on the amount of the contribution.

The incentives range from a print of Lowden for a $500 donation to a marble bust of the former governor for a $100,000 donation.

An artist’s rendition of the statue is not yet available.

The Oregon Republican Reporter is published weekly by Ogle County Newspapers, a division of the B.F. Shaw Printing Co. The Oregon Republican Reporter was founded in 1851 as the Ogle County Reporter. In 1889, the Ogle County Republican, a competing newspaper, was started. In 1890, the Republican was sold to Ziba Landers. Upon his death in 1939, the newspaper was assumed by his son, Ernest D. In March 1951, Paul F. Behan, owner of the Reporter, and E.D. 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. Morris Times, Forreston Journal, and Polo's Tri-County Press.

PREVENTIVE CARE

BCR Board Secretary Christy Hanlin presents a $15,000 gift from the organization to Byron Foundation President Brian Janssen. The funds will be used by the foundation over the next several years to provide BCR scholarships to worthy Byron High School seniors. Thanks to the many BCR sponsors who helped make this meaningful gift possible. Photo supplied

seems right – come in and reinvigorate the organization.”

Bryan Markham, BCR treasurer, said the $15,000 donation the Byron Foundation represents the minimum amount BCR will donate to the organization.

“We’ve held back some funds to cover outstanding invoices,” Markham said.

“Once we’re positive that all of our financial obligations are met, whatever dollars remain will be donated to the foundation as BCR’s final gift to the community.”

BCR Board members said they are pleased that BCR’s premiere fundraiser – Pot of Gold, held annually in March – will continue as a community event.

“Rock River Valley Rotary has agreed to take on Pot of Gold as its spring fundraiser,” said BCR Board member Maria Berger. “Rotary’s mission closely matches the mission of BCR, so this is a natural transition.

“I know all BCR Board members will support the Byron Rotary Pot of Gold in March – it’s a great fundraiser and it’s a lot of fun.”

Floski said the decision to become inactive is in no way a reflection of community support.

“The community has been

wonderful about embracing BCR’s fundraisers and initiatives,” Floski said.

“The business community, in particular, has been extraordinarily generous.

It’s the BCR Board’s hope that monies earmarked by local businesses for BCR fundraisers will be diverted to other worthy organizations.”

Among BCR’s significant gifts: More than $450,000 to fund Stone Quarry Park, Tiger Town Park and the public boat launch; $12,500 to present Challenge Day to Byron High School freshman; $10,000 in Facade Improvement Grants to local businesses; and smaller gifts to People Helping People, Operation Santa and other local groups.

Floski said the Byron Foundation will use the $15,000-plus grant to give the annual BCR Initiative Scholarship to a graduating Byron High School senior who has exhibited high standards of service and leadership.

“In this way, BCR stays true to the commitment that was made to our sponsors and donors over the years,” Floski said.

“With this scholarship program, the mission of BCR will continue for years to come.”

The Board of Directors of Byron Community Revitalization, (BCR) Inc., has voted unanimously to entrust $15,000-plus to the Byron (Education) Foundation.

The foundation will earmark the money for scholarships to graduating Byron High School seniors.

This gift, made at a special event Oct. 15, follows a vote by the BCR Board to adopt “inactive” not-for-profit status.

“This is a bittersweet decision for the BCR Board,” said Christy Hanlin, board secretary.

“This decision marks a suspension – at least for the time being - of BCR’s community involvement.

However, we’re excited that funds entrusted to us via our fundraisers will, with proper investment, provide college scholarships to Byron students for many years to come.”

Outgoing BCR Executive Director Betsy Floski said the shift to inactive status is a good move for the organization.

“BCR has been the leading not-for-profit in Byron for 15 years,” Floski said.

“In total, BCR has raised and donated back to the community well over $500,000.

“But, as with many organizations, it was becoming difficult to find enough committed volunteers to carry out the Board’s vision.

“In addition, with so many groups raising funds in Byron, we were almost tripping over each; the situation was putting too much pressure on local businesses, which were constantly being asked to make donations. Going inactive will help relieve some of that pressure.

“And, by going inactive rather than disbanding, the BCR framework is retained; this way, the Board or another group could – at some future date when the timing

Richardsons to celebrate 60th Beverly Nan Mumford and Virgil Lloyd Richardson were united in marriage 60 years ago on Nov. 5, 1955.

They were high school sweethearts who fell in love and vowed to spend their lives together in a little ceremony at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Oregon, where they are still active members.

They built their first home together and raised five children there. It is still the place they call home to this day.

Within those walls there has been laughter, fun, celebrations, hardships, heartaches, sickness, health, sadness, and joy, but always, above all else and without a doubt, there has been tremendous love.

Grandchildren and greatgrandchildren have ridden Grandpa’s John Deere tractor and sat at the kitchen table to eat Grandma’s wonderful cooking.

The memories of 60 years are countless and cherished.

Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, Great Grandma and Great Grandpa, You have shown us that marriage is not always perfect, but it is beautiful.

You have had a few arguments through the years, but you both know how to say, “I’m sorry.”

You also know that

sometimes laughter is the best medicine. In times of sadness or trouble, you have always run toward each other, rather than away.

You have both worked so hard to provide for each other and for your family.

In honor, your family would like to simply say thank you for the example of love and commitment you have set, for the dedication and compassion you have shown to all of us, for being there when we have needed you, and for being a rock solid foundation to build our own lives upon.

You have taught us to love God, first and foremost, to have faith, to pray, and to love others unconditionally.

These are gifts of the heart that last a lifetime.

Happy Anniversary you two lovebirds!!

We love you!

They have been together Since they were just teens.

Two more determined kids No one has ever seen.

There was joy; there was laughter, A promise of happily ever after.

A family they made To adore and care for.

A house they built, No one could wish for more.

Through ups and downs, There was light that shined.

Together forever.

Coyote program will be held Nov. 11

Virgil and Beverly Richardson

The Life of the Coyote will be presented Wednesday, Nov. 11 from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Ogle County Extension office, 421 W. Pines Rd., Oregon.

Peggy Doty, University of Illinois Extension Educator, will share her interest as well as information from the longest ongoing coyote research project.

“Coyotes are our best defense against the multiple rodent species that occur in high numbers. They are intensely focused on their family and really want nothing to do with us,” Doty said.

“Coyotes are considered

a fur bearer and can be harvested as such, however if your coyotes are not doing anything disruptive on your property it would be wise to let them be so you don’t eliminate one who is copasetic with humans only to have the gap filled by a coyote who has learned a behavior that would conflict with your human wildlife values.” she said.

Coyotes have lived around us for a very long time.

They stir many emotions in the human population including fear, anger, and for many they represent the wild beauty of animal songs and prairies.

Canis latrans is the scientific name for the coyote and it simply means ‘barking dog’ which is perfect considering the serenade they deliver on any given evening.

The chatter of the coyote family can bring an awareness of the wild around us even in a subdivision. It startles many people who assume streets with curbs and sidewalks mean a complete lack of wildness.

On the contrary, coyotes live amongst us all the time but are so wary and able to stay inconspicuous we rarely see them.

More often the coyotes

are but a melancholy song in the night. The majority of those who witness the elusive coyote are hunters and farmers who catch sight of them most often due to their time connected to the land.

The committee will also work to solicit sponsorships to underwrite the cost of meetings and fees to the Illinois Institute of Rural Affairs, approximately $3,700, of which $700 was committed the night of the meeting.

The following day, a local company agreed to match that $700 for a total of $1,400 raised so far.

Guest Column MAPPING can help community

By Angela Kay Larson Director, Brand Marketing and Communications Farm, Ranch, and Agriculture Division Blount International It only takes one person with one idea to make a difference and that’s exactly what sparked a gathering of Oregon citizens interested in our community’s future.

Chris Busker, who recently returned to Oregon to work at Stronghold, made a connection with the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs (IIRA) based at Western Illinois University. Busker

was familiar with the IIRA from his college days at Western.

A few weeks later, nineteen people were gathered to learn more about IIRA’s MAPPING the Future of Your Community program.

The open meeting, hosted at Rock River Center on Oct. 15, included a presentation

by Hamm that gave an overview of MAPPING the Future and examples of other Illinois communities who have participated, including Durand, Geneseo, Fulton, Kewanee, Morrison and Lanark, among others.

Hamm explained that MAPPING is an acronym that stands for Management and Planning Programs Involving

BECOME NOTEWORTHY

Nonmetropolitan Groups.

The program, offered by the Illinois Institute of Rural Affairs, is a grassroots effort to create a strategic vision for the community.

The process involves a six to eight-week planning process that results in an action plan, including goals, strategies and projects necessary to move the community forward. For more information, visit www.

IIRA.org.

The 19 people who attended the Oct. 15 meeting unanimously agreed that our community should take the next step toward engaging Hamm and her team to facilitate the MAPPING process.

Donna Mann agreed to organize a small steering committee to handle the logistics and communication to support a kick-off the process, which will likely begin in February of 2016.

One of the steering committee’s primary tasks will be to recruit individuals to participate in the 15-hour planning process.

These evening sessions are open to anyone who has ideas on how to improve our community and can commit to the five, three-hour planning meetings. The committee will recruit participants, while working to ensure a crosssection of the community is represented and that there is ample opportunity for all

home that they will discuss in class the next day.

There are also many highquality children’s books for second and third graders.

Your child’s teacher can certainly recommend books as well as public librarians.

Look for a balance of fiction and nonfiction and be sure to include digital texts.

Magazines and newspapers can also be included.

Be sure to allow your child or grandchild to choose what they read when possible.

It is a misconception that once children start reading on their own we shouldn’t read aloud to them.

We can, and should, read

aloud to our children or grandchildren.

We can nearly always read books that are at a higher level than they can read themselves.

That way we can read books in which they are interested, but are not yet able to read on their own.

Time spent reading increases student achievement. It is important at all grade levels, but especially in these years when reading is still a new skill.

It is vital for us to encourage our children and grandchildren to spend time reading.

and looking for patrons and supporters of the Oregon Public Library to get involved.

Four levels of membership are available - Individual $5; Family $10; Patron $20; and Corporate, $50. This group works to raise money for the library.

The group meets quarterly to organize and offer programs throughout the year as well as put on annual book sales and the Holiday Cookie Sale. If interested, ask a staff member for more information.

Reading Matters Expectations of reading at home change with age

By Mary Gardner Reading Specialist As parents and grandparents we certainly have a role in supporting our children and grandchildren in school.

The kinds of reading activities they are expected to do at home changes as they move up through the grade levels.

For this month, we’ll consider possible reading

expectations for our second and third grade students.

Second graders have generally begun reading some books and materials independently.

Third graders are expected to read longer texts and to spend more of their time reading independently.

We can encourage this at home in several ways.

Reading is a skill that must be practiced. For that reason extra reading time at home is expected.

Many schools require students to read a certain number of minutes each night or require a certain total for the week.

We can encourage this by scheduling a time for reading every night.

We can make sure there are books available and that there is a comfortable place to read with plenty of light.

We can model by reading ourselves for the required amount of minutes.

Some teachers require students to keep a log of what they’ve read, possibly the minutes they’ve read and perhaps a comment or response to what was read.

We can support this by showing interest in the record keeping. Celebrate the minutes read and the growing list of what has been

read! Have a conversation about the responses written.

Another idea is to share read with your child or grandchild.

For this you take turns you read a page and your child or grandchild reads a page.

This can motivate reluctant readers and gives you time with your child in a beneficial way.

What kinds of books or materials should this age group be reading?

Sometimes books are sent home from the school or the classroom library.

Sometimes students are asked to read part of a text at

Students asked about soccer participation

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.

Following a request from parents and students last month, the Oregon School District conducted a survey to determine the interest levels in having girls soccer at the high school.

The survey was completed by two-thirds of high school girls. Also responding were eighth grade girls.

Currently OHS offers softball and track for female athletes in the spring.

If the offerings stayed the same, 36 expressed interest in softball and 36 for track.

Seventy-nine girls said they would not participate in a spring sport.

If girls soccer was added then 50 girls said they would participate in that sport.

Softball decreased to 25 and track to 23. Fiifty-three girls said they would not participate in a sport even if girls soccer was added.

For the eighth grade girls, 28 said they would play softball and 22 would go out for track if those were the

only sports available in the spring. Twenty-seven said they would not go out for a spring sport.

If girls soccer was added the numbers showed an interest in the sport.

Thirty-six girls said they would go out for soccer.

Softball was reduced to 22 and track was reduced to 12.

Only eight girls said they would not go out for a spring sport is soccer was offered.

These survey results were presented to the Oregon School Board by superintendent Tom Mahoney Oct. 19.

The major concerns presented by the administration in September were budgetary restraints, a declining enrollment, and how it would impact the other two girls programs in the spring - track and softball.

This survey was one tool the board will use to decide if the sport will be added.

The school board will discuss the matter at a future meeting and may make a decision on offering girls soccer before the end of the year.

Second Wind will perform at RRC The Second Wind Entertainers’ production of “The Bachelors’ Affairs” will be performed on Friday, Nov. 6 and Saturday, Nov. 7 at 1 p.m. at the Rock River Center, 810 S Tenth St, Oregon.

Lady Hawks fall to Keith Country Day at regional

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com For fans of small school volleyball, Oregon was the place to be Oct. 29 for a 2A regional final.

Oregon, winner of 10 regionals in the past 11 years and 3-time defending 1A state champ Rockford’s Keith Country Day met in a thrill-a-minute classic that left not only the players exhausted afterwards, but the large crowd at the Blackhawk Center emotionally drained.

In the end, Keith prevailed 25-20, 20-25 and 28-26 and Oregon could only wonder what if.

Twice, the Lacy Hawks were one point away (25-24 and 26-25) from closing out the final game, but Keith survived to move onto the Fulton sectional.

“We’re a young team and new to 2A,” said Keith coach Steve Williams, who starts four sophomores. “To come in here and get a win against a really good Oregon team is huge.”

In the third game, Oregon came back from 18-12 and 21-15 deficits to almost pull off the win. With Bre Cullen calmly holding serve and Gylian Finch ratcheting up kills from the outside, Oregon scored seven straight points to take a 22-21.

“Both teams wanted is so bad,” said Cullen, who added a season-high 23 digs.

With roar from the crowd deafening and Oregon (28-9) hoping to increase the lead, a bad break went against the Lady Hawks, as an attempted return hit the ceiling and took an errant bounce.

Oregon couldn’t corral the

ball and the Cougars were able to tie the game 22-22 and stop Oregon’s momentum.

“The fact that we hung in there after losing the lead meant a lot,” Williams said.

Keith managed a 24-23 lead and almost had the clincher, but a kill was ruled out-of-bounds by a narrow margin.

Finch, Oregon’s best server, then aced the Cougars for a 25-24 Lady Hawk lead.

Similar to Keith, Oregon was set up for a kill to win the game, but a it went out-ofbounds.

“At the end of the third game, we were really digging deep,” Oregon coach Faith Watson said. “We had a couple of good opportunities.

Keith didn’t do anything we weren’t expecting.”

Byron handles Lisle Sr. 42-7 in opening playoff game Tigers to travel to Wilmington on Saturday

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Byron put a running clock in gear early in the second half of a 3A playoff game against Lisle on Oct. 30, but, it was four non-scoring plays in the first quarter that absolutely demoralized Lisle in the 42-7 win for the Tigers.

The first came moments into the game when the Lions forced Byron into what appeared to be a three-and-out.

Instead of punting deep in their own their own territory, Tiger upback Payton Janssen caught the snap and found Byron’s Bryce Scheffler breaks away from Lisle tacklers for a gain during first half a wide-open Nolan Bielskis action on Oct. 30. Photo by Earleen Hinton for the first down.

Forreston upsets Dakota in first round action 8-0

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com

In Forreston’s 8-0 win over Dakota in the 1A playoffs on Oct. 31, it wasn’t so much about the revenge factor, a sloppy field or the Cardinal’s edge in size and strength.

Instead, Andrew Wenger of Dakota summed it up by saying with a simple statement. “To be honest, they wanted it more than us,” the Indian linebacker said.

After getting it handed to them in week three by Dakota 34-0, Logan Rogers of Forreston (8-2) described a form of “role reversal” from the previous game.

“We were more confident than they were,” Rogers said.

“They didn’t play with as

much urgency and seemed relaxed.”

Dakota (7-3), which came in averaging over 300 yards rushing, was held to only 97 yards on the ground and five first downs. They usually potent offensive attack never got past Forreston’s 25-yard line and had to punt five times.

“We always had an answer to them,” Forreston coach Denny Diduch said. “We played with a lot of energy.

That was a fun one today.”

Taking over on downs at their own 27-yard line after a dropped pass in the flat by a wide-open Greg Krulas of Dakota, the more physical Forreston line paved the way for the only scoring drive of the game.

“We’ve been preparing for that all year and finally used it,” Byron coach Jeff Boyer said. “It was executed perfectly.”

That kept alive a 13 play, 8-minute drive, culminating in a 6-yard touchdown by Zack Cogswell.

Defensive back Seth Linhart then got the ball back for Byron two plays later on a diving interception.

Big play number three came from Janssen. With three Lisle lineman wrapped around him, the 6-foot4, 205-pound quarterback broke free and found Cogswell for an unlikely completion on the Lisle sideline, as the Lion players and coached looked stunned.

“On those two plays, Linhart made a great read and Payton is a big kid who is tough to bring down,” Boyer said.

“That fake punt was big and the interception was big,” Lisle coach Paul Parpat said.

The final back-breaking play was more luck than skill, as Cogswell fumbled inside the 10-yard line and fellow running back Avery Carlson caught it in mid-air for a first down.

On the next play, it was Carlson scoring for a 14-0 Tiger lead.

The bad breaks continued for Lisle on its very next offensive play, as a bad snapped forced an 18-yard loss. Following a Lion punt, Carlson made it 21-0 on a 2-yard touchdown run.

“We couldn’t stop them,” Parpat said.

That statement rang true the rest of the game, with Jake Elsbury tacking on a Turn to B2

Akins and AJ Christensen carrying most of the load on the muddy field, Forreston scored on an 11-play drive midway through the second quarter. The bowling ball type Akins (30 carries for 118 yards) cracked over for a 2-yard score behind the blocking of Brady Bronkema and Cody Stewart.

“It was perfect conditions for someone who runs like Akins,” Diduch said.

Quarterback Hunter Daws, ran in the extra point for an insurance factor in a game where points were at a premium.

“We came together on that drive,” Brokema said.

“We were getting off the ball quicker than Dakota.”

“Catch a Grobe” fails for WC as Polo wins 49-6

By Brian Weidman bweidman@sauk valley.com Job No. 1 for Westminster Christian in its Class 1A playoff game against Polo was to grab a Grobe.

The Warriors didn’t get that done, and the result was predictable: a 49-6 victory for the Marcos before a big crowd on Oct. 30 in Polo.

Some combination of senior quarterback Brody Grobe and senior tailback Brooks Grobe accounted for Polo’s first six touchdowns and a 41-0 lead entering halftime, ensuring a running clock for the second half.

The Marcos starters played only in the first half.

Brody Grobe rushed 12 times for 166 yards, including touchdown runs of 53, 2 and 49 yards. He also tossed a 17-yard scoring pass to senior tight end Richie Bartnick.

Grobe often isn’t quite sure what he’s going to do until he gets to the line of scrimmage and assesses the defense, and

Friday, he just happened to call his own number a lot.

“It’s option-based,” Grobe said. “I listen to my dad [Hank], because he calls a great game every week as our offensive coordinator. He gives the ball to everyone, and tonight, it just happened to be me quite a bit.”

Westminster Christian coach John Davis noted the inability to slow down Brody Grobe was a key to the game.

“They’ve got a killer what we call a ‘double dive,’” Davis said. “One back comes through, and then another. We repped on it a lot in practice, but we didn’t rep on it enough with the quarterback keeping the ball.

That kid, he’s the real deal.”

Brooks Grobe had nine carries for 103 yards, including TD runs of 7 and 12 yards. He was just happy to get this one out of the way.

“Now we get to rest [Saturday], and we’ve got a long week to recover, and a long week to get ready for Week 11,” he said.

Polo (10-0) had its reserves

in to begin the third quarter, and they embarked on an 18play, 90-yard drive that used up 12 minutes, 14 seconds of game clock. Tristen Aguilar capped off the march with a 4-yard plunge on the first play of the fourth quarter.

The Marcos racked up 493 yards of total offense.

Westminster Christian (64), making its first playoff appearance in its 3 years as a football program, entered the game battered and bruised.

The Warriors had 20 players on the roster, and head coach John Davis noted many of those were dealing with a litany of ailments.

The most glaring absence was that of junior quarterback Tannor Park, who broke his left ankle late in last week’s 28-23 loss to Alden-Hebron.

That forced junior tight end Scotty Graziano, the team’s top receiving threat with 21 catches for 418 yards and four TDs on the season, into emergency QB duty.

With defending boys champion Rockford Christian bumped up to 2A because of the IHSA success factor, the 1A cross country sectional took on a new meaning at Oregon Park West on Oct. 31.

Not only would there be a new team champ, but Brayton Hamblen and Seth Williams of Rock Falls wouldn’t have individual champ Nick Monkemeyer to chase after.

The Rocket pair finished third and fourth last year behind Monkemeyer and graduated Al Baldanado of Hall.

This year it was sectional title for Hamblen and a thirdplace finish for Williams, with Matt Stelmasek of team champion Johnsburg sandwiched between them.

“It’s an honor to be the sectional champ, but this isn’t the gold,” Hamblen said.

“I played it conservative.

A couple of times, I almost went down.”

The Rockets needed every ounce of effort by their two stars, as they also snuck in as a team for the fifth and final state berth, edging Winnebago 191-192.

The meet was contested in sloppy running conditions with heavy winds and rain, the type that real mudders are needed.

It will be the third straight trip for to Hamblen and Williams to Detweiller Park, site of the IHSA state meet.

With the Oregon sectional serving as what Hamblen called a “tune-up”, both runners know that the real

“This was easily our best game all year,” Elsbury said.

“In some of our games, we had a let up. Not tonight.”

On Byron’s opening drive of the third quarter, Elsbury broke free for a 58-yard touchdown run, keyed by a pulling McCoy Ziel block, giving him 172 yards on 12 carries.

As good as Byron offense performed, the defense was

test will come next week in the form of Jon Davis of Fithian Oakwood, a 1A phenom who won the 2014 state title by 42 seconds and may be the top runner in the entire state, regardless of class.

Sterling Newman punched their ticket to Peoria with a second-place finish.

Johnsburg had 95 points and the Comets 127.

Girls race In both 2013 and 2014, Megan Grady of Amboy finished in sixth place at the 1A sectional.

Grady made it trip number three downstate with a 10-place finish (20:34) in absolutely miserable conditions at the Oregon Park West course on Oct. 31.

Joining her is good friend Teagan McKenna of Sterling Newman, who is headed to Peoria for the second year in a row with a 13th-place and time of 20:49.

It was McKenna helping Grady to her feet after Grady collapsed at the finish line.

“I keeled over at the end and Teagan picked me,” Grady said. “She could have left me there.”

“I was glad to help her up.

We’re all in this together,” McKenna said.

After shoshing through standing water on several areas of the course and enduring heavy winds and rain, girls stumbled into the finish line and had difficulty making it through the chute.

“I’ve never seen it this bad,” McKenna said. “After the first puddle, your shoes got a little heavier.”

The cold chilled Grady’s legs to the core, causing her to get numb and struggle to

was short on a 37-yard field goal attempt.

Graziano did scoot in from 6 yards with 6:54 to play in the fourth quarter to get

equally impressive. Lisle did not record a first down until 9:12 remained in the game.

“Credit to coach Considine and Miller. They had our defense very well prepared,” Boyer said.

With the win, Byron (8-2) gets a return visit to No. 1 seed Wilmington (10-0).

Last year, Wilmington beat the Tigers 46-13 in the 3A semifinals.

The game is scheduled for Saturday at 5 p.m.

“Our kids are well aware of Wilmington,” Boyer said.

“We’re ready for them,” Cogswell said.

keep up with the leaders.

“I’ve been in rain, but not this bad,” she said, while drying off in Amboy’s covered tent. “I was trying to jump over the water and go around it, but you couldn’t.

Nobody could.”

Grady and McKenna knew if they stayed within the top 15 runners, they would likely make the cut for state.

“I didn’t have a strategy, other than stay towards the top,” McKenna said, who looked quite refreshed shortly after the race.

“I knew all I needed was top 10,” Grady said. “I’m very excited to go down state again. That was the major goal.”

Haley Weidner of Bureau

Valley went downstate with Grady and McKenna last year, but finished three spots away from qualifying. Her time of 21:26 was good for 19th.

Erin Hosto of Amboy also came close, but missed out on state qualification with a 22nd-place and 21:35 clocking.

As expected, AnnawanWethersfield, with the top two individuals finishers, won the team title with 63 points, less than half of second-place Seneca.

Locally, Amboy took seventh with 216 points. The fifth and final team spot was taken by perennial power Winnebago with 170. Newman was 10th with 247 points.

that our field was really wet this week. It helped practicing in it,” lineman Nick Wilson said.

In the third quarter, Dakota used a 12-play drive to gain field advantage, but couldn’t crack a big play.

“They stopped us on first and second downs,” Krulas said. “Our offense isn’t meant for that. We couldn’t get our game plan going.

They scouted us well.”

The special teams of Dakota let a golden opportunity slip away early in the fourth quarter after a punt snap rolled on the ground to Daws and then he bobbled it.

Instead of it being blocked deep in Forreston territory, Daws regained possession and booted a 45-yarder.

“One of our biggest mindsets was to block every punt,” Dakota coach Rich Schmitz said. “But, with it being fourth-and-3, we played back instead.”

Facing a third-and-18 after the punt, Krulas caught a screen from Cade Meier and ran 20 yards for Dakota’s

longest play of the game, keeping the drive alive. On fourth-and-3, though, Cody Moser, Michael Singley and Hoah Gipe combined to sack Meier at midfield.

“We cleaned things up from last time,” Gipe said.

“Our line definitely beat theirs.”

“Coming in, I thought our quickness would help.

Not in this muck,” Schmitz said. “As the game wore on, Forreston proved to be bigger and stronger. We had to get yards on first down and we couldn’t.”

That was Dakota’s final chance, as Forreston drove to the 1-yard line and took a knee.

“The conditions helped us with pass defense. It was so difficult to throw,” said Forreston defensive coordinator Kyle Zick, who changed from a 5-3 to 3-5 defense midway through the season.

With the win, Forreston will host No. 1 seed Stark County (10-0), a 28-7 winner over Tremont. Last year, Forreston beat Stark County in the quarterfinals.

Sports Column Keith Country Day knocks out Oregon twice

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Keith Country Day really didn’t deserve to win the volleyball regional over Oregon, did they?

After all, Oregon had four seniors among its top players, while Keith had four sophomores. Let the younger kids have their day later.

Oregon has never been downstate, while Keith has three recent state titles.

Shouldn’t it have been Oregon’s turn to have a crack at Bloomington instead?

On top of it, the Oregon

soccer team got beat by Keith a few days earlier.

The law of percentages says Oregon deserves to win in volleyball. Right?

Each scenario played out in my mind immediately following Keith’s dramatic regional title win over Oregon.

You could even throw in the fact that Oregon needed only one point to win that final game and had its ace serving the ball.

But, as the old expression goes, “life isn’t fair”. It sure didn’t seem like it was last Thursday at the Blackhawk Center.

That doesn’t diminish what was a scintillating final game between the two teams. Probably what stood out most to me was the artistry involved in setting up kills and athleticism in

making saves A Broadway choreographer couldn’t have done justice to the movements played out in game three.

Even with the loss of another stellar class, the Lady Hawks will be quite good in 2016. The talent keeps coming through the ranks, just as it has for the past decade or so with the plenty of cultivation by coaches past and present.

Among volleyballers players in northern Illinois, some of the most impressive statistics were put up by Lady Hawks, including 347 kills by Sommer Rhea, 768 assists by Haylie Rorbeck, 366 digs by Bre Cullen, and 72 aces by Gylian Finch.

Former Hawk grad, Robin Keene, is making a name for herself with the IHSA in regard to volleyball. Robin

has been assigned to help work the state volleyball tournament at Bloomington next weekend.

Of all the sporting events I’ve covered in the past 20 years, the cross-country sectional on Saturday at Oregon Park West was the worst in terms of weather conditions.

There have been playoff football games that have been much colder and track meets with tornado warnings and the like, but the combination of driving rain, wind, cold and standing water throughout the course made the cross-country meet tops for bad weather.

Credit needs to go to coaches Tim and Lori Gipper, the parents and other volunteers for braving the elements for hours. And, also to the guy who may be

the hardest-working athletic director in the state, Mike Lawton.

All of those people gave Oregon another gold star as a venue for hosting postseason events.

The hundreds of visitors and runners from 43 different teams had to endure the harsh conditions, but they certainly left with a measure of satisfaction for how well the meet was conducted.

Cross-country runners from Oregon and Byron are making a splash with the NIU women’s program.

Adrian Myers, a 2003 Hawk grad, is in his first year as head coach and led the team to its best finish (seventh) ever in the Mid American conference cross country meet.

Kelsey Hildreth, the 1A state cross-country runner-

Andy Colbert

up for Byron two years ago, has been Myers’ No. 1 runner.

She nearly won the MAC individual title, but was nipped at the finish after leading most of the race.

Attorney general warns of new credit card scams Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan is urging Illinois residents to be on the lookout for calls or emails from individuals posing as debit or credit card issuers.

Requests are made in an attempt to con consumers into providing personal information, which can lead to scammers making purchases on consumer’s cards or a larger identity theft scam.

Banks and major credit card issuers nationwide have been sending out new credit and debit chip cards that feature a small computer chip on the front that will help limit fraud and theft.

The chip contains cardholder data and creates a unique code for each purchase. The new cards also still contain the magnetic strip, so that consumers can still use their credit cards to make purchases by swiping the card when the seller does not have chip readers in place.

Madigan’s office says the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is reporting instances

The scammers tell consumers they must first confirm or update their accounts by providing personal information before they can receive a new chip card. of scammers taking advantage of the transition from the old cards to the chip cards to steal consumers’ personal information.

Scammers target consumers who have not yet received the new chip cards by contacting them via telephone or email claiming to represent banks and credit card lenders.

The scammers tell consumers they must first confirm or update their accounts by providing personal information before they can receive a new chip card.

Scammers are then able to steal consumers’ identities, monitor their online activity, and install malware on electronic devices.

“A bank or credit card lender will never contact you to request your personal information before sending you a new card,” Madigan said.

“If you have questions about your account or your card, you should contact your bank directly.”

Madigan said Illinois residents can try to avoid being targets of this scam by contacting their financial institutions if they have not received new chip cards.

Madigan also urged consumers who receive calls or emails from supposed banks or credit card lenders to hang up or delete the email, and report the contact to her Consumer Fraud Bureau.

Answer Found In Today’s Classified Section

Thursday November 5, 2015 SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Jealousy is apparent. Keep your workplace friendships professional. You may have things in common, but becoming personally involved with a colleague will have negative effects on your future.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- In order to keep moving forward, you will have to make the first move. Don’t wait for someone else to showcase your ideas. You have the talent.

Make your dreams come true.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t slow down when you are so close to the finish line.

Don’t waste the groundwork you’ve so diligently put in place.

Keep the momentum going.

Romance is in the stars.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you hit a snag, confer with successful people who can offer sound advice. A second opinion will help you calculate your options and potential outcomes.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Your emotions will cause havoc to your schedule. Avoid impulsive behavior or rash decisions and think deals through

before you make unrealistic statements and impossible promises.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Procrastinating will get you nowhere. Get unpleasant tasks finished so that you will have more time to do the things that you find satisfying. Someone from your past will make an enticing offer.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t give in to self-doubt. A charismatic attitude will make others take notice of what you are doing. A polished presentation to the right people will bring you greater recognition.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Just because you are a go-getter doesn’t mean you can’t become overwhelmed. Consider what you have taken on and delegate tasks to friends and peers or learn to say no without feeling guilty.

Listen carefully to what’s being said, but unless you are asked for your advice, don’t give it.

Your attempt to help will be interpreted as meddling and end up causing friction.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A costly mistake will result if you are impulsive. Prosperity can be yours if you are patient. Make sure you have all the relevant factors in place before you make a move.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Make your home more orderly and efficient. Rid yourself of items you no longer use and make your home a refuge where you can relax at the end of a stressful day.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Reconsider an offer that was presented to you in the past.

Something you enjoy doing can turn into a paying gig. A trip will introduce you to a potential partner.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --

COME AND SEE WHY WE ARE #1 IN USED CARS! EASY, STRESS-FREE CAR BUYING EXPERIENCE!! - STERLING Large selection of excellent cars, almost too many to choose from!! Multiple styles of similar makes and models made it so I could find exactly what I was looking for!! My salesperson, Dan Danreiter helped me find exactly what I needed and helped me keep calm and focused on what I needed and didn’t over sell me on items I didn’t need. I would highly recommend purchasing a car from Majeski Motors and plan on buying from them again!! Make sure to see Dan Danreiter when you go!

LIKE NEW MERCURY MARINER - AMBOY, IL We had a fantastic experience. This is our second vehicle we bought from Majeski Motors.

We will not hesitate to come back or give a recommendation.

LINCOLN MKX - STERLING Brent is awesome! He made my car buying experience stress free! Will definitely be a repeat customer.

I am referring my friends and family to Majeski Motors!

CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY - STERLING We had been seeing a lot of Majeski stickers on cars in the area and wanted to give them a chance for our next vehicle. It is nice to see a small dealer grow into a nice size dealership in our local area. I met Brent on the lot and he took my wife and I through a few nice cars before we decided on a Chrysler Town & Country.
