Service was the best eight years Staff Sergeant injured in Iraq

By Chris Johnson Reporter Even after suffering life-threatening injuries in Iraq, Staff Sergeant Brian Sawlsville considers his time in the military as the best years of his life.

Sawlsville, a 2003 Rochelle High School graduate, was injured in his third tour of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“We drove over an IED (improvised explosive devise),” said Sawlsville during a Veteran’s Day program at David L. Rahn Junior High School, Mt. Morris. “It blew the truck off 15 yards and I was thrown out. I did not know what was going on.”

Sawlsville, who is currently in a wheelchair, said he had a skull fracture but got up and engaged the enemy despite his wounds.

“I woke up in a hospital and saw my dad and doctors looking at me,” he said. “My first thought was I failed my

country and soldiers.”

It was not until he talked with others about the 2007 incident that he realized what occurred.

“This is a new chapter,” said Sawlsville. “I make the best of the situation. I play wheelchair basketball and I do therapy.”

He said at recent sessions at the VA hospital he took his first steps since the explosion and is continuing to improve.

“I was told ‘eventually you will walk again’ and I told him (the doctor) I will hold you to that,” said Sawlsville.

Sawlsville still thinks about his eight years of service in the Army.

At his home in Rochelle there is a room with his uniform, ribbons, and other memories from his service.

“I was in there the other day and looked around,” he said. “It was the best eight years of my life.”

Sawlsville said the best memory from his service was Army Staff Sergeant Brian Sawlsville, Rochelle, explains what each ribbon on his uniform represents during a during that final tour in Iraq Veteran’s Day program at David L.

Honor and remember veterans

By Earleen Hinton General Manager Honor.

Respect.

Remember.

Those were three words that Vietnam War veteran Donald Gramer emphasized at the Oregon VFW’s Veteran’s Day program on Tuesday.

“We need days like today to honor, respect, and remember those who were willing to pay the price so we can stand here today and say we are proud to be an American,” said Gramer, an Army veteran. “God bless us and God bless America.”

23.

The dates for filing completed petitions, with signatures and other paperwork is Dec. 15-22.

At least one referendum will also be on the April ballot.

Oregon Fire Protection District officials will ask voters to give them authority to levy taxes for ambulance services.

The fire board has not yet decided how much it will ask but could set that number at its Nov. 12 meeting.

The maximum amount

By Chris Johnson allowed by state law is 40 Reporter cents per $100 equalized assessed valuation.

Sawlsville received a special necklace From A1 you, gave me a hug, and gave me a St. Christopher necklace,” said Sawlsville. “I have not taken this necklace off.”

That necklace along with his Purple Heart, Bronze Star, Silver Star, and other military honors will always remind Sawlsville of his eight years.

He joined the Army shortly after graduating high school and was at Fort Knox for basic training.

“I was 19 when I had my first tour of Iraq,” he said. “I was there for 17 months.”

Following this deployment Sawlsville was transferred to a unit at Fort Hood, Texas.

“I picked a new job as a

scout,” he said. “After 12 weeks of training I was asked if I wanted to do scout sniper school. This was the hardest course that I completed.”

He was deployed to Afghanistan for nine months and returned back to Fort Hood.

“I was then in a different unit deployed to Iraq,”

Sawlsville said. “I served with the best people. I lost a couple of friends.”

After the program the students lined up to shake Sawlsville’s hand and thank him for his service.

Veterans in attendance also came up to thank him for serving.

The incident occurred at 2 p.m. at Ki Tracks Motocross Facility, 5067 Pines Rd., approximately six miles southwest of Oregon.

Greene said the boy was

from the Oregon area, but declined to release his name, age, or city of residence, citing Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations.

Council meeting changed for holiday Due to Veterans Day on Tuesday, Nov. 11, the Oregon City Council was scheduled to meet on the second Wednesday of the month instead of the usual

second Tuesday.

Coverage of the meeting held Nov. 12 will appear in next week’s paper.

Besides mayor and commissioner reports, the

meeting agenda listed a closed session with possible action afterward.

The Oregon City Council meets the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at

5:30 p.m. at the city hall, 115 N. Third St., except when those meeting dates fall on holidays.

The Oregon Fire District, which covers 120 square miles, is the only area fire district without a tax-

supported ambulance service.

Those services were covered by the Oregon Ambulance Service, Inc., from the early 1970s until June 17 when the not-forprofit business closed its

doors for financial reasons.

After that, the district depended on mutual aid from surrounding fire departments for ambulance service until officials hired ATS Medical Services, Loves Park, a

Since July 1, ATS has been kept an ambulance and crew at the Oregon Fire Station around the clock. The fire district is paying ATS $6,000 monthly from current funds.

However, that cannot go on indefinitely because that money was levied for fire protection.

The fire district includes all of Oregon-Nashua Township and portions of Pine Creek, Pine Rock, White Rock, Rockvale, Marion, Grand Detour, and Taylor Townships.

Ossmann said. “It will look really good.”

He said $35,000 has been raised toward the $80,000 project which will also include two benches that visitors can sit on and reflect on the sacrifices by veterans.

“This is a countywide project,” said Ossmann.

The Oregon High School choir also sang the “Star Spangled Banner” and another musical selection during the 35-minute program.

Accreditation was a two-year project From A1 Pierce. “Only five to seven percent of our customers achieve accreditation.”

Ogle County has been designated as a Total Response Accredited Center that is committed to maintaining the highest standards in emergency call handling.

Powerphone is a global company and created the standards used for emergency calls.

What makes this accomplishment even more impressive is that Ogle County is the first in Illinois to receive accreditation in all three disciplines, Pierce said.

Powerphone does training for EMT emergency dispatch, fire dispatch, and law enforcement calls.

They have a flowchart and flip book provided to the 9-1-1 center that describes in details each step needed for the call. This includes who to dispatch, how to keep the caller calm, and what first aid

steps the caller should take.

“We review calls and make sure these guidelines are being followed,” said Beitel.

“We are keeping everyone safe.”

The review is done each month to make sure telecommunicators are prepared for any call.

“The quality insurance is when [telecommunications supervisor] Heather [Butler] and I go through and make sure they are asking the right questions,” said Beitel. “Are they keeping everyone safe?”

The county board 9-11 board, and sheriff’s department agreed to spending the money to make sure Ogle County has the best possible emergency dispatchers.

“I am proud of the work we are doing. The effort was worth the investment,” said 9-1-1 Emergency Telephone System Board member Marty Typer, Stillman Valley, who is also an Ogle County Board member.

The following is one of a series of the articles he has written.

We sang again, then Prof. said we could have something different in our parade this time. Each class would have a teacher to plan with them.

After we had decided what to do we went home to get our costumes ready.

Everyone was at the school house at one o’clock so we could start at half past one.

Most of the freshmen wore some kind of a red, white and blue cap or head band and rode on a hayrack which was decorated with bunting.

Dragging on the ground behind were two sacks filled with straw representing the Kaiser and Hindenburg.

The sophomore girls were Red Cross nurses, and most of the boys were scouts.

Two of the boys had a spring wagon on which was a coffin covered with red, yellow and black.

The junior girls each wore a headband of red, white, and blue ribbon.

Oregon students Ethel Wernick, Dudley Adams, Eva Grumbling, Vernon Brewater, and Violet Redfern wrote their impressions of the events Nov. 11, 1918.

English teacher Meryl Holloway entered these as an exhibit at the Illinois State Fair 1919. The following was written by Violet Redfern.

The church bells and school bell rang and rang.

When we got to school everything was in an uproar.

Some of the boys were shouting from the Assembly room window, while others, both boys and girls were blowing horns, yelling and doing everything that made a noise.

Confetti was everywhere, even the teachers were covered with it.

Recent works by faculty will be on display and available for contemplation, stimulation, and discussion as a featured exhibit of the fall 2014 semester.

Matt volunteered for public service to be added to his high school record, not for a scout honor.

He’s the only volunteer who did an entire job on his own.

He spent several days

removing overgrown pine trees that had been felled and left in place.

By the time he finished his work, the area was clear and clean, ready to be restored to its natural state.

A faculty art exhibition, comprised solely of works created by faculty members, is scholarly – and this exhibit illustrates the commitment of HCC Visual Arts faculty to pursue continued research and artistry outside of the class room setting.”

This exhibit will feature the

works of artists Reed Bakken – pottery, Jim Planting – metal work and jewelry, Sam Tucibat — photography, and Robert Apolloni – mixed media drawing.

Highland Gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Earth Angels, headed by Linda “Granny” Straith, Forreston, is again collecting toys and donations for Christmas gifts for needy families in Ogle County.

The goal is to reach families that have “fallen through the system” and are unable to receive any kind of assistance.

Donations will be accepted through Dec. 18.

Drop sites for donations are at Sterling Federal Bank, Mt. Morris; Kable News, Mt. Morris; Mt. Morris Senior Center; Forreston Public Library; Forreston State Bank; Bertolet Memorial Library, Leaf River; Citgo, Leaf River; Rock River Center, Oregon; Pete Harkness Auto Dealership, Oregon; Creative Designs, Oregon; Dollar General, Oregon; Blackhawk Area Credit Union, Polo; Mt. Morris Moose Family Center, Mt. Morris; St. Paul Lutheran Church, Oregon; St. Bride’s Episcopal Church, Oregon; State Farm Insurance, Oregon; and Sawicki Motors, Rochelle.

At the drop sites, pick

an “angel” to buy gifts for.

Purchase the gift, attach the angel’s tag, and return the gift to the drop site by Thursday, Dec. 18 or call Straith at 779771-4591 for pick up.

Donations of money can be mailed to Earth Angel, P.O. Box 188, Forreston, Ill. 61030-0188 or Earth Angel Fund, c/o Forreston State Bank, 200 Main St., P.O. Box 278, Forreston, Ill. 610300278.

Anyone who knows of a family who really needs an Earth Angel, even if it’s your own family, is asked to submit the name and address.

All the information is kept confidential.

What is most important is gender and ages so gifts can be purchased and distributed accordingly.

Volunteers can earn their Earth Angel wings by helping wrap, pick up, or deliver gifts when the time comes.

Earth Angel headquarters will once again be at the Mt. Morris Seniors Center.

Holm credits volunteers with making 2014 fair a success Michael Timm named Volunteer of the Year Harlan Holm, president of the Ogle County Fair Association proclaimed the 2014 Ogle County Fair an outstanding fair Nov. 8 at the fair association’s annual meeting.

“The attendance at the 2014 Fair may not have been a record but it was excellent,” Holm said in his address to the members at the meeting at the Ogle County Farm Bureau auditorium.

He added that volunteer labor provided by fair association members and directors, 4-H club and FFA members, and contributions from individuals and businesses all help make the fair a success.

Holm expressed his thanks to 4-H leaders and volunteers and the allvolunteer fair board for their “dedication and hard work.”

He said free shows and free carnival rides were offered again this year with paid gate admission.

“The free on grounds shows were very well attended and enjoyed by all,” he said.

He added that attendance was excellent this year due in part by having nice weather and the $8 dollar gate fee that included all on grounds shows and unlimited free rides for adults and the kids.

Holm said he is looking forward to the 2015 fair, set for July 29 to Aug. 2, to build on the success of the 2014 fair.

Funding from state allocations has become much less over the past several years, he said, but in spite of that he is confident that “with the help of the fair board, members, and volunteers, including 4-H and FFA members, we will have a great fair in 2015.”

The annual meeting is held each year to review the past year’s fair, recognize volunteers, and elect new directors.

John Sheely, assistant superintendent of the Ogle County Fair Association, recognized Michael Timm as the Volunteer of the Year.

The award is given in recognition of exceptional volunteer work.

Besides assisting with security duties during the fair, Timm also volunteers his time during the summer months to help keep the fairground mowed regularly.

Tom Simpson, Davis Junction, and Rita Dauphin, Polo, were re-elected to the board for three-year terms.

Randy Anderson, Chana, was elected to replace Ralph Larson, German Valley, who retired from the board after many years of faithful service.

Other continuing board members include Holm, Stan Eden, and Carol Zellers, secretary, all of Oregon; Dave Engelbrecht, Byron; Dauphin, Lyle Hopkins, John Dueth, all of Polo; Rose Donegan, Gene Price, and Brad Larson, treasurer, all of Mt. Morris.

Other fair officials include Dennis Alderks, Chana, fair superintendent; Jon Sheely, assistant superintendant; and Dr. Tom Hughes, Forreston, Ogle County Fair veterinarian.

Take steps to prevent diabetes

Nearly 30 million children and adults have diabetes, and another 86 million Americans are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.

By 2050, as many as one in three American adults will have diabetes.

Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness and kidney failure among adults, and often causes mild to severe nerve damage that leads to the loss of a leg or foot.

Diabetes significantly increases the risk of heart disease, and it is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States.

More than 70,000 deaths are directly attributable to

diabetes each year.

Excess weight is the single largest factor to developing type 2 diabetes.

An obese person is 20 to 40 times more likely to develop diabetes than a person with a healthy weight.

A person who loses seven to ten percent of their current weight could cut their chances of developing diabetes in half.

Moderate exercise, like walking at a brisk pace for 30 minutes a day, can also reduce your risk of diabetes by 30 percent.

Dietary changes can have a significant impact on reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Limit the amount of red meat, processed carbohydrates, sugary drinks, and trans fats.

Smoking has been directly linked to diabetes type 2 risk.

Quitting is the single greatest improvement to make to all aspects of health.

Illinois offers free tobacco cessation services through the Illinois Tobacco Quitline at 1-866-QUIT-YES (1-866784-8937).

Type 2 diabetes is largely preventable. Nine cases in ten could be prevented by taking the following steps: exercising more, eating a healthy diet, keeping weight under control, and not smoking.

For more information on diabetes, contact Joanie Padilla, Director of Health Education, Ogle County Health Department, at 815732-7330 ext. 279, or visit oglecountyhealthdepartment. org and cdc.gov/diabetes.

organizations’ net revenues are approximately $3 billion.

“In addition to its world class reputation for medical care and treatments, UW Health has been a recognized leader in developing community and population health management strategies,” said Gorski.

“Together, we will implement these strategies as we continue to address health care issues locally, regionally and nationally.”

Dr. Jeffrey Grossman, senior associate dean for clinical affairs at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health and president and CEO of UW Medical Foundation, said “UW Health seeks partners like Swedish American who share our commitment to enhancing the health of the communities we serve.

“As we have worked closely together, we have confirmed that we share a set of values focused on continually improving our approach to delivering community-based health care. This merger is about providing better health care at the local level.”

Ron Sliwinski, president and CEO of UW Hospital and Clinics agrees. “We’ve long recognized Swedish American as the leading health system in Northern Illinois. We look forward to working collaboratively with our new partners to meet the challenges of a changing

health care environment.”

Swedish American is a notfor-profit healthcare system headquartered in Rockford, comprised of two hospitals, 30 clinics, a home health care agency and a foundation.

The local market-share leader, Swedish American has received numerous awards for quality and preference from major state and national organizations.

UW Health is an academic health center associated with the University of WisconsinMadison.

It includes: UW School of Medicine and Public Health with its core missions of education, basic, translational, clinical and population health research; UW Hospital and Clinics, Magnet-designated and rated the #1 hospital in Wisconsin

by US News and World Report, a 592-bed regional referral center that includes the 87-bed American Family Children’s Hospital; The Carbone Cancer Center, one of 41 federally designated comprehensive centers for cancer treatment and research with a network of affiliates; The nation’s seventh largest organ transplant program;

Business Briefs Scholarships are available through the Monsanto Fund America’s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders is now launching in 40 states, with more than $500,000 worth of scholarships available.

The program is sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, and provides $1,500 college scholarships to students pursuing a degree related to agriculture.

Starting Nov. 15, high school seniors and college students in Illinois and other eligible states can apply for this opportunity.

Farmers know the rewards of a career in agriculture, but many of today’s youth may not. Luckily, there is an abundance of evidence that agriculture is a smart career choice.

According to the USDA, nearly 55,000 jobs in agriculture are available every year. Many of the nation’s largest land-grant institutions, such as Penn State and Texas A&M University, report job placement rates above 90 percent for their ag students.

Grow Ag Leaders helps engage future generations in agriculture by raising awareness of the broad range of career opportunities in the industry and by supporting their college education.

The program was created in response to farmer requests to keep rural youth involved

in agriculture.

Farmers can participate in the program by encouraging students in their community to apply for a scholarship and by endorsing their application.

Because farmers play a crucial role in the industry, each applicant is required to obtain endorsements from at least three local farmers.

“We want to encourage ambitious and talented students to pursue careers in this growing field,” said Elizabeth Vancil, Youth and Community Outreach manager at Monsanto.

“As students who grew up in rural areas learn more about what agriculture has become, they are realizing that it is a fascinating, hi-tech industry, with job growth, job security, and high wages.

“These young people are seeing that there are emerging opportunities for a new generation of innovative young farmers, engineers, implement designers, marketing specialists and seed scientists.”

Grow Ag Leaders is part of the overall America’s Farmers campaign, which highlights the vital role played by farmers, through programs designed to support rural communities. Farmers interested in promoting the program and endorsing students’ scholarship applications can learn how at GrowAgLeaders.com.

The scholarships are administered by the National FFA Organization, but FFA membership is not required to apply. Students have until

Several Ogle County offices were filled Nov. 4 by candidates who were elected without competition in the general election.

Donations sought for Christmas basket program

Three local Lutheran churches — Trinity, Mt. Morris, Freedom, Oregon, and Emmanuel, Paynes Point — devoted times Oct. 26 to a work day titled “God’s Work, Our Hands”. The participants did projects at Lowden and Castle Rock State Parks, Oregon Elementary School, Oregon High School, and the bus garages in Mt. Morris and Oregon. Other individuals made visits to the homebound members of the congregations. The group above from Freedom Lutheran worked at the bus garage in Oregon. Photo by Vern Welp

Churches helped area projects Three area Lutheran congregations came together at the end of last month to offer their hands for community based projects.

Freedom Lutheran of Oregon, Trinity Lutheran of Mt. Morris, and Emmanuel Lutheran of Payne’s Point, joined in the “God’s Work, Our Hands” initiative of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) on Oct. 26.

More than 40 people were dispersed to five different locations, many wearing the bright yellow T-shirts identifying the project.

“God’s Work, Our Hands” is one of the mottos of the ELCA and is found on many of their logos.

The “God’s Work, Our Hands” initiative began in 2013 as a way to celebrate the ELCA’s 25th anniversary.

The idea was to encourage all of the 9,000plus congregations of the denomination to engage in a community service project on the first Sunday

of September. It was such a popular ministry that it was repeated again in 2014.

“The ELCA is known all over the world for the service work they do,” said Pastor Jeff Schlesinger of Freedom, “but domestically people don’t always know how much we do. This is a way to both serve and make ourselves known as a ‘doing’ church.”

Gathering at Castle Rock State Park beforehand for a joint worship service, work teams were dispersed to the Mt. Morris and Oregon school bus garages to clean school buses, to Oregon Elementary and High Schools to do some cleaning and window washing, to Lowden State Park to paint an out building, and to Castle Rock State Park to harvest some prairie seeds for drying and planting.

“The cool thing about these projects,” said Pastor Josh Ehler, “is that they might not have happened had we not done them. And

even if they would have, we freed up the employees of these valuable community organizations to work on other important projects.”

The ELCA is a denomination headquarterd in Chicago, IL with over four million members and 9000 congregations throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.

Freedom Lutheran is a mission congregation that worships at Lutheran Outdoor Ministries Center at 9:45 a.m. Sunday mornings and has a Welcome Center in downtown Oregon across from the courthouse.

Trinity Lutheran is located at 308 E. Brayton Rd in Mt. Morris and worships Saturdays at 5:30 p.m. and Sundays at 8:45 a.m. and 10:45 a.m.

Emmanuel Lutheran is located just north of the intersection of Brick Road and Stillman Road and worships at 9:00 a.m. each Sunday.

HUNGRY? the

To be placed on the list to receive a basket, any family or individual in need may call the VFW at 815-732-6851 Monday through Friday from 7:30 to 9 a.m. or from 3:30 to 7 p.m.; Saturday from 7:30 to 9 a.m. or 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Each individual or family must call for themselves with the complete name, address, and phone number for a basket to be delivered.

An adult must be at home on the morning of Saturday,

Dec. 20 to receive the basket.

Even if you received a VFW basket in previous years, you must call again this year to be placed on the list because the VFW has no way of knowing if conditions have changed or recipients have moved.

The deadline for calling to place your name on the list is Friday, Dec. 5.

Last year, the VFW provided more than 120 baskets to area residents.

Mistakes prevail in Hawks’ loss to Newman Oregon falls to Newman 50-12 in second round

By Ty Reynolds Sauk Valley Media In a clash between ballcontrol offenses, mistakes usually end up making all the difference.

The Newman Comets took advantage of two first-half turnovers by the Oregon Hawks on Nov. 8 at Roscoe Eades Stadium in Sterling, turning them both into touchdowns en route to a 5012 victory in a second-round Class 3A playoff game.

“They’re not going to make a mistake for you, so when you make a mistake, it’s a double whammy,” Oregon coach John Bothe said.

“We got out of sync with turnovers and penalties; we hurt ourselves in the first half more than we have all year, and that was a tough deal.”

The first turnover swung the pendulum in Newman’s favor just a bit; the second shifted it for good.

Facing a fourth down on its opening possession, Oregon (6-5) looked to have moved the chains on a short run by Garrett Rude. But the ball popped loose, and Newman’s Trevor Bolin scooped it up and sprinted 41 yards to the end zone.

“It was crazy,” Bolin said.

“I read the run and came up to fill in the outside in case he bounced it. I saw Shayne Allen come up and lay the hit, and the ball just hit the ground and bounced right up to me. I just grabbed it and ran for dear life.”

“It’s great to start off that way,” added Nolan McGinn,

who ran for 124 yards and three touchdowns. “I was back there [in the secondary] and I didn’t know what was going on, then I saw Trevor run into the end zone. We just kind of took the momentum from there.”

Oregon had the answer, in the form of a 15-play, 73yard scoring drive that took more than 7 minutes off the clock. Garrett Rude (68 rushing yards) scored from 10 yards out, but the Hawks still trailed 8-6 after the conversion run failed.

Newman (11-0) made it 14-6 when McGinn crashed in from 4 yards out on the first play of the second quarter, then it was the Comet defense that stepped up again.

On a third-down play, Oregon dropped back to pass for the first time. Dillan Heffelfinger read the play and tipped the pass to himself, returning the interception 34 yards to the Oregon 11.

Two Heffelfinger runs later, Newman led 22-6.

“I didn’t think the first turnover flattened us out too much, because we did a nice job taking it to them on the next drive,” Bothe said. “But I thought the second turnover got us out of sync, and that’s unfortunate when you’re playing a really, really good team.”

After an Oregon punt, Newman took over at its own 31, and aided by four Oregon penalties – two offsides, two personal fouls – cashed in on McGinn’s 7-yard scoring run to take a 30-6 lead into halftime.

The Comets got the ball to start the second half and marched 73 yards in six plays, capped by Heffelfinger’s 6-yard TD run.

Tigers fly by Chicago Harper 51-16 to advance

By Andy Colbert Reporter In a 51-16 win over Chicago Harper in the 3A playoffs on Nov. 8, Byron got one slight scare.

With 32 seconds left in the half, Harper scored on a 29yard sideline fly pattern pass to close within 16-8.

Just when it appeared the Tigers (7-4) would be content to take that lead into the third quarter, coach Jeff Boyer caught the visitors off guard with a trick play, in which

Zach Cogswell lined up by himself away from the rest of the team and was snapped the ball for a 18-yard gain.

“That was a point in time where they were getting some momentum,” Boyer said.

“Just don’t let anyone else know about that (trick) play.”

Then quarterback Payton Janssen found Cogswell for a 46-yard touchdown pass with five seconds left to make it 23-8. Byron never looked back after that and Harper (65) appeared demoralized.

“That play took the wind

out of us,” Harper coach Maris Carroll said.

On Harper’s first play from scrimmage in the second half, the ball was snapped over the quarterback’s head and the Tigers claimed their second safety of the game. Three plays later, Avery Carlson burst free for a 44-yard score and suddenly it was 32-8.

Harper quarterback David Harvey was then intercepted

by Cogswell and Byron put together another scoring drive, capped off a Carlson 9-yard run and 39-8 lead.

“We made them throw and our kids took control,” Boyer said.

The Tigers held Harper to minus rushing yardage in the first half, including physical tackles for losses on the first two plays.

“We made plenty of mistakes, but they beat us up front in the line,” Carroll said.

A wide open Jacob Elsbury got Byron on the board first with a 23-yard pass from Janssen.

“They were biting hard at the line,” Janssen said. “The play action worked great.”

It was Janssen and Elsbury again for 29 yards on the next possession to key a 9-play, 59-yard scoring drive. Griffin Thatcher literally walked into the end zone from one yard out and Byron led 14-0.

“Our offensive and defensive lines are big physical and made pushes the whole game,” Janssen said.

It was Elsbury and Riley Lorden, one of the so-called hogs from the line, that tackled Arjay Howard for the first safety of the game and 16-0 lead. Before the

game, the linemen were even brought onto the field by a livestock trailer from an undisclosed spot in town.

“Since we lost to Dixon (42-28 in week 9), everyone on the team has been stepping up,” Elsbury said.

Carlson and Peyton Keller closed out the scoring for Byron with touchdown runs.

“This is a great feeling to be back in the quarterfinals,” said Boyer, the quarterback on Byron’s 1999 statechampionship team.

Cardinals to face Stark County

By Andy Colbert Reporter Forreston (10-1) will travel to Stark County (11-0) this Saturday for a quarterfinal battle between two teams most recently ranked No. 1 in Class 1A football playoffs.

Two years ago, SC defeated Forreston in the quarterfinals 50-22 on the same field.

Denny Diduch said.

Last week, Stark County pounded Polo 49-12, scoring on its first seven possessions, a mirror image to Forreston’s offensive performance against Hope.

“I was surprised what they did to Polo,” Diduch said.

Leading the team on offense for SC is senior quarterback Joe Charvat (5-8, 165), who has rushed for 690 yards and thrown for 1,246.

Top running back is junior Chase Johnston (5-10, 170),

who has 1,221 yards on 159 carries.

Charvat’s main receiver is wide receiver Thorin Hicks (6-3, 185), who has 31 catches for 642 yards.

Volleyball team falls to Dakota at sectional final

By Andy Colbert Reporter

it was Dakota over Oregon (31-6-2) in the sectional final.

“We got that high energy towards the end, but waited too long,” Long said. “Earlier, we were almost overworking and rushing, to the point of being nervous.”

That was evident in the first game, when the Indians jumped out to an 8-2 lead.

Oregon had three return errors and had kill attempts stuffed twice by Jaycee Cleaver.

“They were helping us out with their mistakes,” Williams said.

Cullen helped get her team back into it with some timely serving. The Hawks reeled off five straight points, as setter Delaney Mahoney started finding her teammates, and Oregon only trailed 8-7.

Slowly, though, Dakota began to pull away, using a combination of tips, kills, and blocks. Meanwhile, the Oregon offense could not hold service for more than a point or two. An 18-15 Dakota lead soon became a 25-17 final.

“Their attackers were adjusting more and making tips,” Watson said.

“We knew coming in that the middle would be open for tips, because they shift back on defense just like we do,” Williams said.

The loss was particularly hard to take for seniors Mahoney and Wright, who had been on the varsity team since their freshman year, and suffered sectional final losses

It would have been hard to find two more evenly matched 2A volleyball teams than Oregon and Dakota on Nov. 6.

Bu the difference in Dakota’s 25-17, 25-22 sectional championship win was that the Hawks made more mistakes on offense.

“Our defense wasn’t the problem,” Oregon coach Faith Watson said. “We lost because of us, not because of [Dakota].”

For the first time, Oregon failed to have any sort of lead in the match. The closest it came was ties at 1, 4, and 6 in the second game.

Just when things looked the bleakest, the Hawks put together an 8-1 run to pull within 23-22.

The Indians struggled returning the serves of Mackenzie Skoumal. Their only point in that run came via a net violation.

Whitney Long added two kills and a block, Sommer Rhea a kill and a block, and Oregon looked to have enough momentum to perhaps win Game 2.

“That was Oregon volleyball,” Watson said.

“When something works, we thrive. It was like that against Byron [in the regional final].

If we could have won the second game, I thought we would have won the third game. We would have been on fire.”

playing real physical, and using it to get a lot of big momentum shifts.”

Oregon answered with a 25-yard scoring strike from Jerrick Orsted to Josh Cook, but the Comets responded themselves with a nine-play scoring drive that resulted in

McGinn’s final TD run from 16 yards out. Brady Rude (95 rushing yards) tacked on a 10-yard TD run after an Oregon three-and-out for the final margin.

“Oregon has been in games where they’ve played from behind, and they’ve come

back and won,” Bolin said.

“So we knew we couldn’t take out foot off the gas, and we just had to keep going, keep pushing, keep doing what we were supposed to do.”

because of the zone blocking.”

Forreston and other teams in the NUIC block down on their opponents, creating one hole for the running back to hit. In zone blocking, like SC employs, the running back looks for an area to run at, thus creating more area for the defense to cover and more options for the runner.

“That’s the beauty of it,” Diduch explained.

Both teams average around 40 points a game, while only giving up 10.

“I’m expecting more of a low scoring game,” Diduch said. “I don’t want to get in a shootout with them.”

For the year, Forreston is approaching an impressive 4,000 yards gained rushing.

The Cardinals have 3,993 yards on 474 attempts, an 8.4 average. They also have 779 yard through the air on 51for-98 passing with only four interceptions.

On defense, Diduch is impressed with nose tackle McCauley Johnston (60, 225), linebacker Logan Hollis (6-0, 185) and Hicks at end.

“They have athletes all over the place, even the linemen,” Diduch said. “They could take their uniforms off and play basketball.”

“We feel like we can do a lot of things offensively,” SC coach Jade Noard said. “We will look at their defense and try to find an advantage that will allow us to be successful.

That advantage usually changes week to week, and often within the game itself.”

Stark County has four semifinal appearances and two state runner-up finishes for an overall 14-7 playoff record. Noard is in his 10th year at SC and has a record of 71-18.

“This is one of the more storied programs in 1A,” Diduch said. “I look forward to seeing how we fare against the big boys.”

Game time is 5 p.m. at Gary Johnson Field in Wyoming, one of the better venues to watch a high school game.

“It should be a great atmosphere,” Noard said.

“People can get pretty close to the field at our place. I think it looks like a very even match-up. Both are very good teams that have had a lot of success this season.

Cardinals turn on afterburners to blow by Hope

By Andy Colbert Reporter

afterburners, treated fans to a rare flyover.

But once action started, it was the talented stable of Forreston ballcarriers using their afterburners to zoom past Hope Academy in a 49-6 romp.

The Cardinals put up 329 rushing yards that stunned the visitors from the Northeastern Athletic league. And that was just in the first half, as Forreston took a 35-0 lead. “We saw what’s it’s like to be at another level,� Hope

coach Stephen Pagh said. “That’s where we want to get to.�

Before kickoff of Nov. Hope (9-2) came in with 8’s 1A second-round playoff four backs averaging over 13 game between Forreston yards per carry, and Keandre and Chicago Hope, a Murph ran for 16 yards on the Russian MIG, complete with first play from scrimmage.

The Eagles then ran into a brick wall on the next three plays and had to punt. “It was good to get that first stop,� Forreston coach Denny Diduch said. “Their backs, especially [Lafayette] McGrary, were strong, fast, and elusive. He was a load.�

On Forreston’s second play, it was Max Barkalow giving Hope an indication of what lay ahead with a 78yard sprint for a touchdown.

Another punt gave the ball back to Forreston at its own 27-yard line.

This time, it took six plays to score, as Logan Rogers (9 rushes, 126 yards) used precision downfield blocking to run in from 20 yards out.

In that drive, Robert DeVries threw his only pass of the game, a sprint-out toss of 25 yards to tight end Dylan Hensley. “Our boys take pride in their blocking, and really like Chicago Hope’s Justin Omokaye drags down Forreston running back Logan Rogers in the to hit,�

Diduch said. second quarter of their second round Class 1A game on Nov. 8. Photo by Chris Johnson

Rogers then recovered a fumble on Hope’s next possession, and the Cardinals were on the move again.

Barkalow tacked on another score for a 20-0 first-quarter lead. “We really hit our base plays, and the runners were hitting the holes made for them,� Forreston senior lineman Jacob Cunningham said. “We are old and experienced in the line. The little things we focused on in practice paid off.�

Murph and McGrary had long runs to set up Hope near the Cardinal goaline, but a DeVries fumble recovery stopped the drive. “Those backs were talented,�

Forreston defensive coordinator Kyle Zick said. “A key was Robert slowing down the big plays from his safety position.�

In their longest drive of the game, and with 210-pound fullback Spencer Cruthis carrying most of the load, the Cardinals marched 88 yards in 12 plays to make it 28-0 on Rogers’ second touchdown. “Coach likes to mix it up a lot on the run,� said Cruthis, who had twice as many carries as any other back.

“I’m pretty much the only fullback, and he likes hitting up the middle. That throws the other teams off.�

Another punt gave the ball back to Forreston at the 16-yard line. In a perfect ending to the half, DeVries efficiently led his team for a score on the last play before time ran out. His 4-yard keeper on fourth down made it 35-0.

Forreston got the running clock going at the 10:19 mark of the third quarter by going six-for-six on scoring drives, all begun in Hope territory.

DeVries took it 11 yards for the 42-0 lead. “Up front, they were winning the battle. They were bigger and faster than we thought,� Pagh said.

Forreston (10-1) will travel to Stark County (11-0) on Saturday for a quarterfinal battle between the two most recent teams ranked No. 1 in class 1A. Two years ago, Stark County defeated Forreston in the quarterfinals 50-22. “We’re excited to play them. We have some making up to do for what happened 2 years ago,� Diduch said.

Polo Marcos fall to Rebels 49-12

By Patrick Mason Sauk Valley Media There was no hiding from the Stark County football team on Nov. 8 for the Polo Marcos.

The top-ranked Rebels sliced up the Polo defense, and put a lid on the Marcos’ offense that bubbled with speed and athleticism throughout the season.

Stark County ended the Marcos’ season in a 49-12 blowout at Gary Johnson Field in the second round of the Class 2A playoffs. It was Polo’s most lopsided loss this season. “It’s disappointing,� Polo quarterback Brody Grobe said. “We hoped for more of a game than that. It was embarrassing. What we did was not Marcos football.�

The Rebels (11-0) marched down the field with little resistance throughout the game and scored touchdowns on each of their seven firsthalf possessions.

The Marcos (8-3) had a tough task in containing Rebels quarterback Joe Charvat, who played tricks on the Polo defense with deceptive zone-read plays, and deep passes to streaking receivers.

His ability to run, as well as throw the ball downfield, was too much to handle. “When we watched the tape, we thought we would be able to get their defense to shift where we wanted,�

Charvat said. “Then we just did the opposite of what they were expecting. “I knew that if I made the right reads, we were going to

get some good yards, and we just kept moving the ball.�

Charvat ran for 61 yards on six carries and ran for two scores, while throwing for 152 yards and two touchdowns.

Running back Chase Johnston gained 84 yards and scored twice, and Logan Hollis added another score.

The biggest blow came near the end of the first half.

Stark County scored its final two touchdowns in the final 2 minutes of the first half.

Charvat returned a Polo punt 69 yards to the 6-yard line, which set up a Hollis score.

On the Marcos’ ensuing possession, Grobe was intercepted, which set up the Rebels’ seventh and final touchdown, and put a running clock in effect for the entirety

of the second half. “We just wanted to make it a game at that point,� Polo junior Richie Bartnick said about the halftime score.

Grobe, who finished with 97 rushing yards, scored the lone first-half touchdown for the Marcos. The junior broke off a 48-yard run late in the first quarter to answer two quick Rebel scores.

But while the scoring run breathed life into a shellshocked Polo team, the Stark County defense didn’t allow the Marcos much else. Polo tried that run several more times, but wasn’t successful. “There wasn’t much there,� Polo coach Andrew Hofer said. “They swarmed on defense, and they were fast to the ball.�

Sports Column OHS fall sports come to an official end

By Andy Colbert Reporter It was fun while it lasted, but the fall sports season for Oregon officially came to a close around 9 p.m. on Saturday with the loss to Newman in football.

Time to get on the wrestling mats, basketball courts and bowling lanes.

I have a feeling that the football team is more accepting of its loss than the volleyball squad was.

As I heard John Bothe said in a post-game interview on the radio*, the footballers could have just as easy been 2-7 as a 6-game winner.

Overachievers – you bet.

With a lot of talent and experience and no suburban private schools or local powerhouses in the sectional, the volleyball team probably had its best chance ever to make it to state.

The loss to Dakota was made more painful because of the fact Dakota won the super-sectional in two games.

Plus, Dakota has already

been downstate a couple times before, so shouldn’t it have been Oregon’s turn?

Dakota was not a better team than Oregon. But, credit to them for making the plays when they needed to.

Someone asked me why I don’t write very much about volleyball in this column.

As the saying goes, ‘Cobbler stick to your last’.

In other words, don’t try to do something you have no little knowledge or experience with. Stick with what you know.

I am not qualified to write about volleyball, but I am slowly learning a little each year.

Here’s one question I have for the volleyball community.

Why must the super-sectional final be played on an already busy high sports day of Saturday?

Basketball works well going on Mondays or Tuesday the week as the state finals. Wouldn’t it make more sense for volleyball to do the same?

Having attended high school football games for 50 years, I saw two things on Saturday I’ve never seen before. One was awesome and the other a bit weird in a fun way.

Just before the 5 p.m.

kickoff before the Forreston game and the sun starting to set, out of nowhere came a Russian MIG to do a flyover.

Still in the east parking lot, I could see the afterburners of the MIG go directly overhead of me, not much more than a 1,00 feet up.

Jeff Kaney, the founder and CEO of the Kaney Group, an aerospace consultancy located in Rockford, is a Forreston graduate who has access to cool aircraft like this and it was neater than any other flyover I’ve ever seen.

You just didn’t expect something like that in the middle of nowhere (no offense intended Forreston people). Awesome indeed.

Earlier that day, I turned off Ill. 2 in Byron and was in the residential area south of the high school. Turning in front of me at an intersection was a truck with a livestock trailer.

I didn’t think much of it, as these are common sites for us mid-westerners. However, as I drove behind it, I had to do a double take and make sure my eyes weren’t playing tricks with me.

Yes, it was hauling a bunch of football players, which I found out later were the varsity lineman.

An eye exam is a good idea, especially if things are starting to look a little fuzzy around the edges.

The truck took these “hogs� all the way to the field and deposited them in front of the home crowd. Can’t beat fun at the old ballpark, I guess.

As regular readers of this column know, I’m a huge supporter of referees and officials. But, something happened at the Byron game that had me quizzical.

Throughout the first half, the Chicago Harper football coach was using a great deal of profanity directed at his players and in general. A Stillman Valley fan within earshot asked him to cool his language.

Bear in the mind, the Harper side didn’t have many people around and you could hear about everything going on.

Quietly, I thanked him for speaking his conscience, as I also found it very offensive.

To my surprise, the head referee loudly yelled back at

that fan and told him to mind his own business.

Could an official explain this too me? I understand officials have authority to remove belligerent fans, but this man was speaking his convictions. *Four different radio stations (95.7, 102.3, 102.7, 107.7) were on hand at Roscoe-Eades stadium to broadcast this game. With a 7 p.m. Saturday night kickoff and virtually all other area game completes, OregonNewman was indeed the only game in town.

Like coach Bothe finishing his 17th year at Oregon, it’s Sam Ramirez and Mark Herman wrapping up their 17th year covering the Hawks on flagship 95.7FM. You two guys do an outstanding job and a school as small as Oregon is fortunate to have a station devoted strictly to its football

Andy Colbert

team.

After leaving Forreston around 7:30 p.m., the thought hit me of trying to make it for the second half of the Oregon-Newman game. But, listening to Sam and Mark lulled me into sticking with them instead.

Chicago recorded the coldest December through March in its history, and temperatures statewide were the fourth coldest on record.

To help Illinois residents

be prepared for winter weather this year, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) the NWS and local emergency management agencies are encouraging people to begin preparing now for extreme

Obituaries Betty M. Berger Betty M. Berger, 83, Oregon, died Saturday, Nov. 8, 2014 at Pinecrest Terrace, Mt. Morris.

She was born Jan. 22, 1931 in Monroe Center, the daughter of Earl and Anna (Nottleman) Singley.

She moved to the Gettysburg, Pa., area at the age of 4 and graduated from Gettysburg High School in 1948.

She then moved back to Illinois and was married to John C. Berger on June 25, 1950 in Oregon.

She was formerly employed by the Ogle County Treasurer and Ogle County Clerk as a deputy clerk.

Betty’s first love was her family and enjoyed cooking family dinners every Sunday night for more than 30 years.

She also enjoyed visiting her son John in Montana and especially loved it when he came “home.”

She was extremely proud of her three grandsons and their children.

Betty also loved doing all kinds of handiwork. She crocheted, embroidered, knitted and quilted.

She loved to quilt and to share her quilts with family.

She quilted at church on quilts donated to Lutheran World Relief, at the Rock River Center, and belonged to several local quilt guilds.

All her family members have at least two quilts that she made for them.

She also donated quilts to

County Record Don’t wait, prepare now for more winter weather From B6 exposure to extreme cold, the most in more than 25 years.

“The extreme, recordsetting weather conditions in much of Illinois this past winter illustrated the importance of being prepared for snow, ice and cold temperatures” said Chris Miller, warning coordination meteorologist with the NWS office in Lincoln. “It is much easier, and less costly, to prepare your vehicle and

home for winter conditions now, rather than waiting until winter is upon us.”

IEMA, the NWS and the American Red Cross developed a winter weather preparedness guide that covers winter weather terms and tips for staying safe at home, in the car and at school.

The guide is available on the Ready Illinois website at www.Ready.Illinois.gov or by calling 217-785-9925.

Veterans urged to search for war medals llinois State Treasurer Dan Rutherford is encouraging veterans and their families to search for unclaimed war medals and military items.

Operation Reunite researches the names from safe deposit boxes that were transferred to the treasurer’s office with military medals, ribbons, paperwork and more.

“I am delighted that we have reunited families with these priceless heirlooms during the course of my administration through Operation Reunite,” said Rutherford in a Nov. 10 press release.

“I hope that this reminder on Veterans Day brings attention to other medals

that we still have in our custody.”

The Capitol vault currently holds 120 military medals.

The current list of Operation Reunite names is available at www.treasurer. il.gov. Click on the Operation Reunite banner, and scroll down to see the list of names of people for whom the contents of safe deposit boxes have been transferred to the treasurer’s office.

Additionally, Rutherford is reminding officials in The American Legion Posts and Auxiliary Units to check the I-Cash database to determine if their unit or auxiliary has unclaimed money.

The treasurer has worked with The American Legion-Department of Illinois during his term in office to discover $88,058.43 in unclaimed money.

The I-Cash program helps reunite owners with their unclaimed property.

The Unclaimed Property Division has $2.1 billion in cash, plus contents from Illinois safe deposit boxes that have been inactive for at least five years.

To search for unclaimed property through I-Cash, visit the treasurer’s website at www.treasurer.il.gov and follow the I-Cash link.

Rid yourself of whatever is holding you back Thursday, November 13, 2014 Prepare to think fast and move with great speed this year. Be shrewd and rid yourself of whatever is holding you back.

Your accuracy will be uncanny, and will win you the support you need to advance. If you implement your talents and ideas, they will mushroom into something terrific.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You may find that a special someone is feeling a little rejected. Unless the two of you start to communicate, there could be problems. Secret affairs could develop with someone at work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t donate too much time or cash to organizations. You may find that you are being taken advantage of. Added responsibilities or demands may be inevitable.

Make sure your priorities are straight.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Ask for favors, but offer something in return. You can successfully start your own business or get involved in a partnership. This is an excellent time to turn your dreams into reality.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Loose lips may be undermining your reputation.

Don’t let others know your thoughts or what you’re up to.

For the time being, focus on what you are trying to accomplish.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Creative courses will raise your earning potential and lead to a successful enterprise. Don’t go halfway; follow your ideas through to completion. Socialize with friends who can offer you mental stimulation.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will attract romantic partners with your charismatic personality and energetic approach to life. Don’t tell someone you love him or her if you aren’t sure that it’s so. Be certain of your feelings before you voice them aloud.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Friends or relatives may interfere with your personal objectives. If you need some advice, try to find someone who is impartial and knows the ins and outs of your situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- This will not be the day to take chances. Lock your money up

where it’s safe. Stay out of stores where you might be enticed to purchase household items. Make sure that your legal affairs are in order.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your home environment appears to be extremely active.

Plan your day carefully if you wish to dodge any setbacks.

Make a list of priorities.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Difficulties with authority figures will surface. Be diplomatic so that you don’t antagonize someone, but don’t allow anyone to curtail your freedom, either.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Problems with groups may upset you. The only person you can really know and help is yourself. Put an effort into self-improvement. You will be successful.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Put your effort into getting your own work done, and refrain from interacting with peers who are just wasting time. Stay focused if you want to please everyone around you.
