Flag at Conover Square to be dedicated by VFW on Veterans Day

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The American flag on the south side of Conover Square in Oregon will be done in time to be dedicated on Veterans Day. Hands On Oregon President Rick Ryland said the Oregon VFW will hold a dedication ceremony for the 60-foot wide flag on Saturday, Nov. 11 at 2:30 p.m.

Ryland and other HOO members have been raising funds and volunteering their time for almost two years to shore up and side the

once-sagging south side of the century-plus-old former piano factory turned mall.

Ryland said last Friday that the steel siding depicting the red, white and blue flag will be in place by the end of this week.

HOO, a not-for-profit, was formed in 2015 with the purpose of enriching the lives of Oregon citizens through local caring and creating excitement through volunteerism.

As their first project, they chose repairing the south wall of Conover Square.

Moisture and age had caused the wall of the building to deteriorate and

bow out.

The siding is the final part of the project.

Over the months, donations have come in from individuals, businesses, and organizations, including anonymous contributions totaling $165,000.

The donations covered not only materials but also hiring professionals to do some aspects of the work.

The names of those who have donated will be listed on the wall.

No one injured when pickup collides with school bus No one was injured last week when a pick-up truck rear-ended an Oregon school bus on a foggy morning.

Ogle County Sheriff’s Police said the school bus, driven by Jacob Taylor, 25, of Oregon, was eastbound at 662 W. Ill. 64 at 7:45 a.m.

on Nov. 2 when the pick-up, driven by Derek Shull, 34, of Mt. Morris, struck it in the rear as it was slowing down.

The bus driver had turned on the vehicle’s amber lights.

A press release from the Oregon School District said the bus was carrying

elementary students from Mt. Morris to school in Oregon and was picking up a student when the crash occurred.

The students were assessed at the scene by the school nurse, who determined they could safely go on to school.

“Our layout runs very well,” Strouse said.

Cummings explained that the trains are run wirelessly with a digital command control, and each locomotive has chip.

The main layout and three more smaller ones are all the work of club members who share a passion for trains.

Strouse is one of the charter member of the club, which got its start in 1999 in a church basement at the south end of Oregon.

“It got started by a couple of guys putting an ad in the newspaper about starting a model train club,” he said.

“My wife read it and said that’s what you should do.”

A group of 10 formed the club, Strouse said, and

“We didn’t have much of a layout so we started building,” he said with a chuckle.

When the club moved upstairs in 2003, the layout had to be cut in pieces — wiring and all — an reassembled.

Club members pitched in to accomplish the task in record time.

“We had a deadline,” Byrd recalled. “We had to be ready for an open house.”

The layout isn’t meant to replicate any time period or place, but rather is a mix of eras and features.

Cummings, who is club president, said they run trains that have run through Ogle County, and don’t

restrict their trains as far as brand or gauge.

“Our members all have personal preferences and that great,” he said. “We’re not specific. We’re open.”

The club doesn’t buy or sell trains or train equipment, and is totally funded through donations and club dues.

They encourage visits from the public.

“Our mission is to educate people about model railroading,” Cummings said.

Those people have come from all over the U.S. and world.

The train room is open to the public every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m.

The public can also come in at other times if club

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, Dixon.

Ogle County Newspapers also prints the Mt. Morris Times, Forreston Journal, and Polo’s Tri-County Press.

Pithy sayings appeared in Oregon newspaper Editor’s note: Otto Dick, Oregon, has researched the people, places, and events important in Oregon’s history for the Ogle County Historical Society. The following is one of a series of the articles he has written.

By Otto Dick

1. The original henpecked husband is the man who goes to bed before his wife does and then has to move over and give her the warm place.

2. No man is wise enough to teach a fool wisdom.

3. In discussing your enemies you are talking about somebody’s friends.

4. Don’t try to be the biggest fool in the world competition is too great.

5. It’s a good idea to pay as you go, but it’s a good plan to save enough to get back on.

6. If you are not a politician the chances are you have some other vice almost as bad.

7. Nine times out of ten when a man comes to you for advice he is looking for sympathy.

18. When a farmer has nothing to do and wants to have a good time he stays in bed until six o’clock in the morning.

19. The man who can’t and the man who won’t are only in the way. It’s the man who can and the man who will who makes things move today.

20. A downstate man, before he died bequeathed all his property to his wife, under the stipulation that she marry again within a year. He wanted somebody to be sorry that he died.

21. A young man rushed into the store all out of breath and said to a crowd of men. “The war is going to be over in two months!� “How do you know?� asked a young man. “Because� said the young man. “ M y brother is in the trenches in France and he was known to

10. The man whom is always telling others how much he does for others needs watching.

11. With tears in her eyes she ordered the following letters for her husband’s monument: “Rest in peace until we meet again.�

12. This spring will go down in history, one with a Spring. (Not sure what this means.)

13. The Republican’s policy, one country, one flag, and one wife.�

14. Happy is the man who does all the good he talks of.

15. Ever notice how polite a man can be when he wants a favor.

16. The trouble with a reformer is that he hasn’t any time to mind his own business.

17. It is a fact that no man is as good as ought and none are as bad as they seem.

never hold a job for over two months in his life.�

22. There are two reasons for a short skirt and we frequently see both of them.

23. People who persist in going to the dogs have no respect for the dogs.

24. Look out for the fellow who is always bragging about his honesty. 25. Some men are constructed like billboards — a flashy front with a vacant lot behind.  25. Success isn’t in the cards you are dealt: it is the way you play them.

26. Mix booze with gasoline and watch the undertaker smile.

27. An echo is defined as the only thing that can cheat a woman out of the last word.

28. This would be some world if we were half as good as we expect others to be.

29. What the world needs is more people willing to

practice — after they get through preaching.

29. When a head is made up of weak materials it swells up very easily.

Emotions soar at Honor Flight

By Peter Balser pbalser@sauk valley.com It was a day that will live in their hearts and minds forever.

The 42nd Honor Flight of the Quad Cities landed in Washington, D.C. on Nov. 1 with 97 veterans on board: three who served during World War II, 14 who served in the Korean War, and 80 who served in the Vietnam War. It was the second flight in as many years for Lee County Honor Flight, a chapter of the Quad Cities hub.

Although most of the veterans were from throughout Lee County, Ogle, Whiteside, Bureau and Carroll Counties were represented as well.

A handful also were from the Quad Cities, from LaSalle, DeKalb and DuPage counties, and even from Clinton and Camanche, Iowa.

They were seen off at Quad Cities International Airport by active service members, Honor Flight staff, and TV news crews, and greeted at Dulles International Airport by a horde of cheering gradeschoolers and strangers, all waiting to celebrate their arrival.

The students cheered them on as heros, waving flags, giving them homemade

To get on board Honor Flight is a national program that sends veterans on a one-day, jam-packed trip to Washington, D.C., to explore war memorials and other attractions while giving them the star treatment.

The flights, all funded by donations, are free to veterans, combat or otherwise, who are accompanied by volunteer guardians who pay their own way and help veterans throughout the day.

Lee County Honor Flight, which was created in 2010, now has sent more than 300 veterans on flights, as has Whiteside County Honor Flight, which launched in summer 2009.

To volunteer or donate to Honor Flight, call the Lee County chapter at 815-288-5683 or Whiteside County chapter at 815-499-6100.

To apply for an Honor Flight, go to honorflightqc.org, click on “Applications” and select the proper era. cards, shaking their hands and thanking them for their service.

The veterans were in tears and speechless, and they went outside to another large group of kids singing patriotic songs and cheering them on while they boarded three buses.

“I’m a pretty stoic guy, but I had tears running down my cheeks,” said Oregon native and Army veteran Larry Saathoff, 68.

After the emotional arrival, the vets took time to enjoy the Udvar-Hazy Center, a companion building to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

They split into groups and received free guided tours through its two enormous hangars.

These veterans had highly personal perspectives on the exhibits.

“The F-105 went in around

the same time as me,” Henry Toms said.

The Dixon native and 86-year-old Air Force veteran greatly appreciated the tour.

“That’s why veterans like this stuff so much. It’s something they know and can relate to,” he said.

The Changing of the Guard was one of the most important stops of the day, as the group holds so much respect for the sentinels at Arlington National Cemetery for the precision of their movements and their intense dedication to their duties.

The Honor Guard members showed that the respect was mutual, as they ceremoniously dragged their heels during the change, as a show of respect to the group.

Emotions remained high as the vets split up to roam the National Mall, visiting the Lincoln, Korean and

Vietnam war memorials.

Vietnam veteran John Tuttle, 71, of Oregon, who served in the Army brought with him a note, written by Tuttle, signed “T-bone”, and addressed to one of his best friends during service, Sgt. “Cowboy”.

Cowboy’s real name was George L. Coody, and with tears in his eyes, Tuttle rubbed that name out on a sheet of paper while visiting the Vietnam War Memorial wall.

Navy veteran Ida Johnson, 82, of Dixon, the only servicewoman on this trip, was surprised by her son, his wife, and her two grandchildren when she arrived at the National Mall.

“I couldn’t believe it.

They made the day so much better,” Johnson said.

She connects with these family members only a couple of times a year, so the

reunion was emotional.

The trip ended with a visit to the World War II memorial, which the group had the pleasure of seeing at night, while the lights were on.

After a tired flight back to the Quad Cities, the veterans received one last show of admiration and respect.

As they walked through

the airport to the main lobby, they were met by a throng of about 300 friends, family members, strangers, and servicemen and women – and even bagpipes – all cheering for them, hugging them, and thanking them.

Mt. Morris native Karen Clark, now of Oakton, Virginia, contributed to this story.

Oregon United Methodist Church to host special service Nov. 12 Oregon United Methodist Church will host its second annual 2C@OUMC event on Sunday, Nov. 12 at 9 a.m.

The event was created last year as non-threatening opportunity for visitors to check out the church, particularly if they are looking for a place to worship, said the Rev.

Thomas Kim, pastor of the congregation.

2C stands for 200, Kim said. In 2016, the congregation numbered 176 people to worship together for the 2C@OUMC Sunday morning service, so they continue to aim for the 200 mark.

failure,” Kim said of the previous event.

The church’s weekly attendance typically runs at about 100 worshipers.

“Whenever two or more gather in Jesus’s name, He is with us,” he said. “It is our joy and pleasure to worship Him together.”

When Kim arrived in town more than a year ago, the church’s new pastor was provided a community

profile based on 2010 U.S. census data numbers by his denomination’s Northern Illinois Conference.

“I saw that more than 40 percent of the population in the Oregon community say they are spiritual people,” he said. “But less than 18 percent regularly attended worship services. I wondered, How could this be? Where is everybody?”

That nagging question grew into a full-blown event he dubbed 2C@OUMC. “We are inviting anyone in the community to visit and to see what’s going on here.”

Rev. Kim is aiming for an attendance of 200 people for the Sunday service on Nov. 12, about double its normal size “2C@OUMC will give visitors a chance to see what we’re all about. And it will give everyone who’s here already a chance to see what

200 people look like in the pews and what 200 people sound like singing together,” said Julie Ebens, chairman of the OUMC evangelism committee, which is organizing the event.

“It has been Pastor Tom’s brain-child, but those of us who’ve been attending for a while remember back a decade or more ago when 200 people were our regular attendance,” she said. “This is a chance for people to visit on a Sunday when there will be lots of visitors. It’s a good, non-threatening way to check us out.”

A reception will follow the worship service.

Kim, a one-time political prisoner in South Korea, came to the U.S. in 1987.

He has pastored rural, urban and suburban churches for the past 24 years.

In 2016, he began offering Holy Communion weekly

at 9 a.m. Wednesdays in the OUMC memorial chapel.

In addition, the church began a Saturday night service weekly for those who can’t worship on Sundays because of work or family commitments.

These ministries are open to everyone.

“The church is seeking honestly to provide spiritual nourishment, not only for this congregation but also to all people in our community,” Kim said.

“If there are ones who are thirsty or hungry, burdened or weary, we invite them to taste and to be refreshed with the power of the Holy Spirit, to experience with us an enthusiastic celebration of life in Christ,” he said.

Local students learn about apples and pumpkins Students throughout Ogle and Carroll counties learned about apples and pumpkins through the Ag in the Classroom program.

In September students found out how an apple seed becomes a tree.

Younger elementary students decorated trees to show the different seasons.

Winter trees had cotton glued to them; pink tissue made into little balls represented blossoms on spring trees; and students finger painted green and red apples on the other trees.

Older elementary students made an apple chain so they could tell the apple story to their families.

In October students heard the story “Pumpkin Jack� by Will Hubbell.

Through the story they discovered the life cycle of a pumpkin.

Kindergarten students illustrated their own pumpkin books to share.

Other students made a pumpkin chain and some made pumpkin charms.

All the projects represented the pumpkin life cycle and gave them an opportunity to share the knowledge they gained with others.

You may be asking yourself how apples and pumpkins relate to agriculture.

When we think of agriculture in our area, we usually think of corn, beans, and cattle.

Did you know that Illinois farmers grow more pumpkins than anywhere else in the world?

They grow 90 percent of the pumpkins used for processing.

Most of the processing takes place in Morton, Illinois — The Pumpkin Capital of the World.

So even though we may not see huge apple orchards or pumpkin patches outside our back door, they are part

of agriculture.

Agriculture in the Classroom is a program to help students gain a greater awareness of the role of agriculture in the economy and society.

Students learn that thousands of farm products are in the world around them—on their plate, in the clothes they wear, in the medicine that makes them well, and in earth-friendly fuels and plastics.

Ag in the Classroom is offered through the University of Illinois Extension in partnership with Ogle County Farm Bureau, Carroll County Farm Bureau, Ogle County Soil & Water, and Carroll County Soil & Water.

For more information about the program, call the Ogle County Extension Office at 815-732-2191 or visit the Extension website Brooklyn Buhler from Patricia Burke’s second grade class at Highland School in at web.extension.illlinois. Stillman Valley shows the pumpkin chain she made as part of the Ag in the Classroom program. Photo supplied edu/bdo.

Forest preserve to host program on bald eagles The Byron Forest Preserve District will host a free live bald eagle program on Saturday, Nov. 11 at 1 p.m. at the Jarrett Prairie Center, 7993 N. River Rd., Byron.  Hoo Haven will bring

A free will donation will help defray the cost of the show.

Also featured are displays, lapidary demonstrations, and a children’s area.

Speakers will cover topics including volcanoes,

cretaceous dinosaurs, glacial striations, gem stone energies, and late Ordovician fossils from Illinois and Wisconsin.

Guest Column Polo citizen of the Year says thank you

By Joan Raley Polo Citizen of the Year

Thank you for honoring me as the 2017 Polo Citizen of the Year!

This award was such a surprise that I failed to thank those who have cooperatively worked with me in placing eight properties on the National Register of Historic Places.

Chris Payne, architect from Oak Park, has made many, many trips to Polo to write the description of the properties.

He detailed the characteristics of a type, period or method of construction, or represents the work of a master

architect.

Chris came to visit Polo to see if the three homes and school designed by the architect Joseph Lyman Silsbee were as beautiful as the homes designed by Silsbee in Syracuse, New York, where he attended college.

Chris was so impressed with Polo and the properties that he volunteered his services to describe seven of the properties for the applications.

It was my job to research the historical significance of the property.

Library director Ellen Finfrock and Betty Shepardson were most helpful in finding the books and older newspaper articles that were necessary to document the historic significance for the bibliography.

Several times they

permitted me to stay after closing hours to finish my research.

Placing the Carnegie library on the National Register required me to learn to write grants.

I had to write a grant to obtain funds to make the library handicap accessible with a lift.

The second grant provided funds for air conditioning the library.

The third grant made possible the Children’s Library on the lower level of the library.

City clerk Susie Corbitt, was most kind in finding the legal descriptions of all eight properties.

She always welcomed me with a smile and remarked she would put aside her work to help me find and record the information.

We are very fortunate to have an active Polo Historic

Society.

The members have been very supportive of my work.

They also maintain the properties owned by the Polo Historical Society that are placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Betty Obendorf has always been helpful in finding additional information when it is requested by the 12 member Board of Review of the National Register.

Betty also joined us to defend the final review of Joan Raley is the 2017 Polo Chamber of Commerce the Aplington House when Citizen of the Year. Photo supplied the advisory committee met Edward’s [Raley’s research and learn about the in Springfield. husband] family came to early settlers of Polo.

A Christmas decorations bazaar and bake sale will be held on Friday, Nov. 17 and Saturday, Nov. 18 at the Masonic Lodge on the corner of Ill. 2 and East Ashelford Drive, just north of Byron.

Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday

and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday.

Besides the holiday sweet treats at the bake sale, the bazaar will offer previously owned Christmas decorations – all in good condition.

Items include wreaths, Christmas

tree ornaments, strings of lights, gift bags, candles, and home and table decorations.

Funds raised will go to support the work of the women of All Saints Lutheran Church.

Public Voice Event sponsors & volunteers thanked

Dear Editor, As event coordinator for the Oregon Park District, I would like to thank the generous sponsors of our recent Halloween events.

Many of our special events, such as the Halloween Carnival and Canine Costume Contest, are free to the community.

We would not be able to host these wonderful and popular events without the help of our local businesses.

Over 250 children enjoyed the carnivals this year thanks to our local businesses.

Thank you also to our 41 volunteers who worked the carnivals.

I can’t find the words to express my gratitude for the businesses that support the Oregon Park District.

Small businesses struggle in this economy and are constantly being asked for donations. They can’t say “yes” to every request.

However, many of our local businesses in Oregon continue to sponsor or donate to the park district knowing local children will

benefit from their generosity.

I am so grateful for their sense of community and their support.

Not only did businesses support the carnivals, there were a few that are always willing to support the canine events.

The annual Howl’oween Canine Costume Contest was a big hit with both humans and their hounds dressed up.

We wouldn’t have had the great prizes without the support of our sponsors.

They gave generously and provided judges for the contest.

The show of community

support and business involvement is one reason living and working in Oregon is so rewarding.

A very special thank you to our local businesses that do their very best to continue and give back to their community.

A very special thank you to the volunteers who give of their time and talents to help out and give back to their communities.

There is no better place for Halloween fun than right here in Oregon.

There is also no better place to work than the Oregon Park District where

Neighbor says no to jail site

Dear Editor, In response to the recent letters to the editor, I live and have lived on South Sixth Street for over 40 years and only one block from the proposed new jail site.

No one has stopped and asked me or my neighbors what we think of the jail

projects, so instead of fighting and assuming the county board members know what the neighborhood wants, why don’t you ask them?

I don’t want the street closed and it does affect me.

Don Stevens Oregon

Dislikes jail site

Dear Editor, I live a half block south of the controversial jail site and no one asked me what I think.

I don’t want it.

Hussung, Watters run at state cross country meet

By Cody Cutter ccutter@saukvalley.com As one Oregon cross country runner capped off a career, another one has begun to bloom.

Oregon senior Ian Hussung and freshman Leah Watters competed at the IHSA Class 1A State Meet at Peoria’s Detweiller Park on Saturday.

Hussung finished the boys race in 55th place with a time of 16 minutes, 2 seconds.

Watters finished 79th in the girls race in 19:31.

Like most competitors who qualified, either as a team or individually, to the State Meet, both Hussung and Watters ran personal bests at Illinois’ premier cross country course.

One year removed from his first sectional race, Hussung’s State debut proved to be a challenge with wet grass and mud spots throughout the track.

Light rain came down on the course off and on during the early hours Saturday, with the most of the wetness

reduced to a light drizzle by the time the 1A runners competed.

Hussung had trouble navigating through some muddy stretches in the second mile, after getting out to a strong start in the first mile.

“I PR’ed, and the first mile was pretty good,” Hussung

said. “I had it under 5 [minutes] in the first mile, but my hamstring acted up around the mud. I just had to finish the race and pick up the pace.”

“He’s worked really hard for the last 4 years,” Oregon coach Tim Gipper said.

“This is his fourth year, and he’s been very competitive in

the area. For him to finally make it this year is quite an honor for him. He’s worked really hard.”

Hussung cut more than 90 seconds off his regional

and sectional times from last year. One year ago at the Rock Falls Regional at Centennial Park, Hussung clocked in at 17:09. He followed that performance 1

week later with an 18:19 at the sectional at Oregon Park West.

This year, Hussung Turn to B2

Byron rallies in final minutes to beat Monticello Tigers to travel to Williamsville on Saturday

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Desperate times call for desperate measures. That’s the situation Byron found itself in with five minutes left in its 3A secondround football game with Monticello on Saturday.

Trailing 21-20, the visiting Sages had a first-and-goal at the 2-yard line and it was also desperate situation that got them there.

On fourth-and-14, Monticello quarterback Braden Snyder found Asher Bradd between two Tiger defenders on a pass reception.

“We had it defended,” Byron coach Jeff Boyer said.

“All three guys went up and their player came down with it. That was deflating.”

After consulting with defensive coordinator Sean Considine, Boyer knew his team had to make something happen.

“Coach Considine called a blitz and that ended up being the right call,” Boyer said.

The result of that play call was middle linebacker Kevin Claunch crashing the line on second down and forcing a fumble on running back Nathan Harmon.

Nolan Bielskis recovered the loose ball and Byron and its large home crowd could breath a collective sigh of relief. It was the game’s first turnover.

“Once we got the ball back,

I could see it in our kids’ eyes. They were not going to give it back to them,” Boyer said. “I’m proud of how we hung in there.”.

Running behind the large offensive line, Michael Criscione burst free to the 20-yard line for a little breathing room.

Monticello did force a third down, but Ricky Messling’s 25th carry of the game gave Byron the first down.

Criscione iced the game with another first down run.

“It’s a different guy each week,” said Boyer, about the wealth of running backs.

It was classic Byron football to start the game, as the Tigers marched 64 yards and took three minutes off the clock in the first quarter to grab a 7-0 lead on a Bielskis touchdown.

In an opposite manner of play, Monticello came out in the spread and was able to tie the game with a 37yard touchdown run, set up by a diving sideline catch by Johnny Dawson. It was the first of many athletic plays that Sages would make.

Bielskis made it touchdown number 20 on the year for a 14-7 Tiger with six minutes left in the second quarter. That came after a 93yard drive, aided both by a fourth-down conversion and 38-yard run by Messling.

Monticello tied the game before halftime, as Snyder led his team down the field on the strength of his arm and feet. Harmon scored on a 1-yard run with 10 seconds left for a 14-14 deadlock.

Defense was the name of the game in the third quarter, as both offenses struggled a bit in the inclement

conditions.

After a fourth-and-25, Monticello had to punt midway through that quarter and Byron got excellent field position near midfield.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t move the ball and also had to punt, “I thought they had a (defensive) look we hadn’t seen,” Boyer said. “They were able to free Harmon up at linebacker to make tackles.”

Pauly Rico’s punt went to the 15-yard line where Bradd caught it and broke past a

wave of would-be tacklers.

It was a touchdown-saving stop by Rico 70 yards later.

Snyder would punch it in a few plays later for the Sages’ first lead of the game.

However, what would turn out to be a crucial miss on the extra point kick only made it 20-14.

Early in the fourth quarter on the ensuing kickoff, the Tigers began a drive that would be a game-winner.

On one of the few times Byron went wide, Criscione broke loose for 12 yards for a key first down into

Monticello territory. On a fourth-and-1, it was the reliable Messling keeping he drive alive and getting the ball to the 5-yard line.

“The last couple of drives, we went right at them with our big linemen and pushed the pile,” Boyer said.

It was Messling capping the drive off with a 1-yard score to make it 20-20.

Mason Snodgrass, who was 43-for-49 on extra points kicks on the season, calmly sent his 44th of the year through and Byron took the lead back, 21-20.

“Early in the year, he struggled a bit,” Boyer said.

“Credit to special teams coach Yerly for helping him.

That point was the difference in the game. We tell our kids about the importance of that and that’s exactly what happened.”

With the hard-fought win, Byron moves on to play at Williamsville on Saturday in a battle of the unbeaten.

“They’re very explosive and their quarterback is a great player,” Boyer said. “It will be an interesting contrast in styles.”

Cardinals start out early and beat Steamers 30-6 to advance

By Brian Weidman bweidman@sauk valley.com When Fulton’s preferred mode of transportation was shut down completely, it had to go to Plan B against Forreston.

The Steamers had a bit of success, but not nearly enough to hang with the Cardinals, who rolled to a 30-6 victory on Saturday afternoon in a Class 1A second-round game.

Fulton (7-4) had 11 carries Forreston’s AJ Christensen (41) catches a pass for a touchdown as Fulton’s Nate for minus-42 yards in the McLuckie (21) tries to defend during action on Saturday. Photo by Earleen Hinton first half. Austin Schroeder,

who entered the game with 164 carries for 1,374 yards, had four carries for minus-17 yards before halftime.

Quarterback Bryce Grant, counting sack yardage, had three attempts for minus-26 yards.

The Steamers had six 3-and-outs in seven firsthalf possessions, with the lone exception coming when Grant lost a fumble on a first-down play.

“The first half, we knew Forreston was good, and they were pressuring on the edge,” Grant said. “I was having to scramble a little bit. The

second half, we figured it out and started moving the ball a little bit.”

The Steamers all but abandoned the run in the second half, and did have some success through the air. Grant threw for 73 yards in the last two quarters, and he also hauled in a 27-yard halfback option pass from Schroeder for Fulton’s only score.

Grant also provided Fulton with a much-needed defensive spark when his interception stopped a Forreston drive deep in Turn to B2

Cardinals host Princeville next From B1 Steamers’ territory early in the second half.

The defending state champion Cardinals (10-1) wasted little time in seizing control, with touchdowns on three of their first four possessions, and moving the ball virtually at will on the ground. Garett Badertscher (13 carries, 72 yards) and AJ Christensen (11-69) From B1 each scored on two short touchdown runs, while Evan Kelsey (10-69), Ethan Mulder (9-52) and Gavin Fuchs (9-51) also were effective.

Upper right, Gavin Fuchs (37) and Brayden Walton (50) check their helmets following the game “Our offensive line is able in Fulton. Photos by Earleen Hinton to get a push every play,”

Badertscher said. “We’ve got good backs that follow a good offensive line. It’s fun to play in an offense like that.”

Forreston coach Denny Diduch was thrilled to see his team perform the way it did early.

“We’re both trying to feel each other out,” Diduch said.

“If we’re able to get some points and some 3-and-outs early, we can build some momentum. As they figured things out, they were able to find some holes. It’s very important, especially in the playoffs with two teams that aren’t familiar with each other, to win that first 8 minutes.”

Hawks run at state meet From B1 finished the regional in 15:18 and the sectional in 16:34, both on the same courses as last year. He became the first Hawks runner since Nick Jones in 2011 to run at State.

“I’m just happy to be down here,” Hussung said of racing at State, “finally making it to State my senior year.”

“It was a great day for him, and a great way to end off his cross country career,” added Gipper.

Both Hussung and Watters slotted in the sixth at-large spot after sectionals, as both Hawks teams failed to qualify for State as a whole.

Watters and Byron senior Megan McCarey worked together to pick off as many runners as they could.

McCarey, Byron’s only runner, finished 7 seconds behind Watters in 19:38.

“Toward the end, another girl came up next to me, and she was like, ‘Let’s go,’ Watters said. “We sped up and got up to another pack.

That was really nice.”

The strategy is part of the cross country game Watters has picked up in her first year running 3-mile high school races. She finished in 18:47 at regionals and 20:40 at sectionals.

“She’s starting to learn to stay with certain kids, and pick out that kid and go,” Gipper said. “She’s started to realize she had to get out at the beginning of the race instead of the end of the race.

There’s a lot of learning, but she’s a girl that really likes to be competitive, and she does not want to be beat.”

Watters also competed at the First to The Finish Meet, also held at Detweiller Park

on Sept. 9, but this time around shaved about 40 seconds off her previous best time there.

“It’s relatively flat, so its easier than our Oregon Sectional,” Watters said of the course, “so my times are definitely much [faster].”

Watters became the first Oregon girl to run at State since Shelby Hunter in 2012, and now has a consistent pinnacle goal in mind for the next 3 years.

“She’s looking good, and she’s really excited about the next 3 years,” Gipper said.

Sports Column State playoff football still going strong

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com With domination of Fulton, Forreston’s football team continues to look like the team to beat in 1A football.

Likewise, Lena-Winslow absolutely whipped a much weaker opponent. Both games were over by halftime.

No doubt, Fulton was a more formidable foe than Milledgeville was for Le-Win. Probably better to wait a couple of weeks before talking about the semifinal and how the two teams

stack up.

Le-Win caught a huge break with both favored Stockton and Annawan-Wethersfield losing.

That virtually guarantees the semi to be in Lena.

The quarterfinals certainly don’t offer any mystery, as running clocks will be the most likely scenario at both contests.

Ogle County remains 6-0 with Byron winning a thriller and Rochelle knocking off a No. 1 seed.

Monticello brought an extremely athletic team to Byron and gave the Tigers all they could handle.

Lesson learned from that game is never underestimate the value of an extra point.

Rochelle’s 35-16 win over unbeaten Johnsburg was not

an upset.

At 6-3 going into the playoffs and the largest school in 4A, the Hubs are the team nobody wants to face.

The win over Johnsburg avenged an earlier 40-22 loss and Rochelle has a chance to do the same this week with Morris, who beat Rochelle 30-21.

Wouldn’t it be something if the Hubs could send coach Kevin Crandall out with a trip downstate in his final year as coach? Crandall notched his 202nd career win at Johnsburg and it was one of the sweetest.

Volleyball Entertaining Maybe there’s hope for a casual volleyball fan like myself.

At the 2A sectional on Wednesday at the Blackhawk

Center, I attended my firstever game that didn’t include a local team.

The contest between Galena and Orion was quite entertaining, much like the Monday was.

In chatting with the wife of the Galena head coach, she indicated this year’s team was supposed to be down from last year’s because of graduation losses.

What stood out most about Galena and was the primary reason for winning the sectional was how well they played together.

High level prep volleyball is such a precision affair and Galena players usually were in the right spot on defense and also did a nice job of setting up their hitters.

In post game comments,

Oregon coach Faith McNamee has impressed upon me to importance of team play.

Unlike basketball or football, where one player can dominate action, that’s not the case in volleyball.

What I am slowly learning is how critical each cog is to one another on the volleyball court.

It’s not quite as complicated as synchronized swimming, but you get the idea.

Interestingly, Galena may have been better off in 2A than 1A, where they have been the last few years.

Durand and Keith Country Day in 1A were as tough as any local 2A school.

The Galena coach said as much as indicated how teams get battle-tested in the

rugged NUIC. Though Oregon loses two really good individuals, there are plenty of solid players coming through, including Bailey Nelson. Nelson is not as polished as Gylian Finch, but has a tremendous upside that college recruiters look for. She is poised to be one of the elite in this area next year.

It will be tough for the Hawks to improve a such a good season as 2016-17 was and hopefully everyone associated with the program has fond memories of it.

As far as the Big Northern conference next year, Rockford Lutheran with a strong junior class and a standout freshman should be the team to beat.

Don’t count out Oregon, though.

Rauner declares state harvest emergency Farmers can get permits to haul extra weight Ill. Gov. Bruce Rauner declared a statewide harvest emergency Nov. 5 to assist farmers and grain handlers who are grappling with the fallout of rain-related delays.

“Illinois is home to 72,000 farms on 26.7 million acres.

We are among the top three corn producers in the nation,” Rauner said. “Moving corn and other crops in a timely and efficient manner affects the bottom line of hard-working farmers. This declaration is an appropriate

response to an urgent need.”

This means farmers may now apply for Harvest Emergency Permits to haul extra weights on non-interstate highways in Illinois.

According to a press release from Rauner’s office, data obtained from the U.S. Department of Agriculture indicates the Illinois corn harvest at the end of October was 17 percentage points behind the prior year and 11 percentage points behind the five-year average.

The corn harvests in the northwest, northeast and east regions are especially hard hit.

Harvesters of a variety of crops made up ground to-

ward the end of October, but early delays still are causing backups in the transportation chain, the press release said.

To obtain a permit farmers will need to contact the appropriate highway jurisdiction depending on whose roads they wish to operate.

For state routes call the Illinois Department of Transportation at 217-785-1477.

More information is available at https://truckpermits. dot.illinois.gov/.

For county roads contact the Ogle County Highway Engineer Jeremy Ciesel at 815-732-2851.

For township road contact the appropriate township road commissioner.

Permits must be obtained from each to travel routes through multiple jurisdictions.

Local jurisdictions such as the county or township have the option to waive the requirement to obtain a written permit.

Each jurisdiction also has the right to declare the length of the permit, but it cannot run past Dec. 31.

The permit will allow for a maximum of 10 percent over the standard weight restriction.

No fees will be charged for a Harvest Emergency Permit.

America Recycles Day heightens environmental awareness America Recycles Day is Wednesday, Nov. 15.

This is a day when we can all learn about and participate in recycling efforts at home, school, work, and during recreational activities.

The Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department helps to provide recycling opportunities and education to residents and local businesses, and provides grants to help with recycling initiatives in Ogle County.

For America Recycles Day, the OCSWMD reminds residents about ongoing recycling efforts around Ogle County.

For co-mingled (mixed) recyclables (paper products, cardboard, glass bottles &

jars, aluminum and steel cans, and plastic containers No. 1-5 and No. 7) most communities in Ogle County have curbside service to make household recycling easy.

Take advantage of the curbside programs and recycle as much as possible.

For those who do not have curbside service, the OCSWMD provides five containers for recycling in Ogle County.

These containers are in Oregon, Rochelle, Byron, Monroe Center, and Forreston.

In addition, there is a container in Polo provided

by Moring Disposal and a container near Davis Junction at the Orchard Hills

For information visit www.oglecounty.org or call the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department at 815-732-4020. landfill.

Place only accepted materials into these bins.

Flatten all cardboard boxes and crush plastic jugs and replace lids. Do not place items on the decks or in the parking lots around the bins.

Doing so creates litter and jeopardizes recycling efforts in Ogle County.

This program diverts around 900 tons of recyclable materials from local landfills each year.

The OCSWMD also provides recycling opportunities for other

materials.

Electronics recycling is an ongoing program generally held on the last Friday of the month.

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the next event will be held on Friday, Nov. 17 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 909 Pines Road in Oregon.

Items include all televisions, computers and computer accessories, video game equipment, VCR and DVDs, printers, FAX machines, copiers, cell phones, laptops, tablets, stereo equipment, phone systems, CFL bulbs, printer

cartridges, CD and DVDs and more.

For a full list of accepted items visit the website listed below.

The OCSWMD also conducts annual recycling events for Ogle County residents.

These include a summer used motor oil, antifreeze, and oil filter take back, usually held in August.

The annual Christmas tree collection and mulching after Christmas, and the holiday lights collection starting Nov. 17 at local fire departments and village halls across Ogle County.

The OCSWMD can also provide information and education about recycling efforts, scrap metal facilities,

household hazardous waste collections, composting and landscape waste, prescription drug take back programs, and many other waste reduction initiatives for local residents.

While Nov. 15 is America Recycles Day, a variety of materials can be recycled each and every day.

Doing so recovers valuable materials that would otherwise be landfilled, reduces the use of raw materials, reduces pollution and climate change causing emissions, and provides economic development and jobs.

For more information visit www.oglecounty.org or call the OCSWMD at 815-7324020.

Obituaries Russell J. Statler Russell J. Statler, 78, of Polo, died on Monday, Oct. 30, 2017 at Polo Rehabilitation and Health Care Center.

He was born on June 21, 1939 in Milledgeville, to Ray and Mary (Briscoe) Statler.

After beginning his career working at Henry Pratt and hauling grain for Dixon Coop he realized he truly had a desire to be a farmer.

Russell’s passion for farming, raising crops and livestock allowed him to grow his passion into a family enterprise with several farms in Ogle County along Penn Corner and Henry Road.

His careful and diligent planning of each year’s crop, along with preparing

for planting and harvest most often resulted in good seasons.

The fresh smell of tilled soil each spring made him a man of the earth with both feet firmly planted on the land and a wonderful steward of the soil.

Along with his passion for farming Russell was a true family man.

While farming kept him very busy he was always ensuring he made time to attend special family events even if it was to catch a quick meal in between chores.

Russell married Patricia Friel on July 2, 1960, and she preceded him in death July 7, 2016.

Russell is survived by two daughters, Dina (James) Lillyman, of Franklin Grove, and Valerie Statler, of La Grange, Kentucky; one son, Greg Statler, of Polo; five grandchildren, Shantel Smith, Brittany Macchi, Zachary Howard, Victoria Ogunfowokan and Tate Statler; five great-

grandchildren, Adrionna Macchi, Kellan Smith, Gavin Smith, Jaron Smith and Jayden Ogunfowokan; and one sister, Collette Frank, of Desert Springs, California.

Besides his parents and wife, he was also preceded in death by a half-brother, Sherwood

Judy S. Kitzmiller Judy S. Kitzmiller, 65, of Forreston, died on Thursday, Nov. 2, 2017 at FHN Memorial Hospital, Freeport.

She was previously employed by World Color.

Judy was born on Dec. 20, 1951 in Dixon, the daughter of Russell and Dorothy (Lenhart) Shuman.

She married John Kitzmiller June 8, 1990. He

Wilson; two half-sisters, Yvonne Wilson and Alice Miller; and two grandchildren, Valorne Follmer and Maria Cutsinger.

Visitation was held on Nov. 4 at Jones Funeral Home in Dixon, followed by graveside services at Fairmount

Cemetery in Polo with Rev. Joseph Naill officiating.

A luncheon followed the burial at the Polo Town Hall.

A memorial has been established to St. Mary Catholic Church in Polo. Condolences may be sent online at www. thejonesfh.com.

Astrograph Emotional issues will cause confusion this year where work and finances are concerned. Updating your resume and picking up additional skills will help you.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2017 SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Emotions will be difficult to control. Avoid a trap set by one of your peers.

If you want to get things done, work alone. Don’t venture too far from home.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Plan a day trip or get out and shop for someone you love. You’ll find out something about someone close to you if you have lunch with an old friend.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Money problems will surface if you are extravagant or you can’t say no to someone asking for too much. Trying to buy someone’s affection will not help you gain respect or love.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Financial concerns will add to your stress and could affect your health if you aren’t careful when handling settlements, investments or joint funds.

Honesty will be a step in the right direction.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You need a break. Whether you take a staycation or sign up for a class that will help ease stress, it will encourage you to relax and let life unfold naturally.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -You’ll tend to overreact, be indulgent and end up in an emotional situation you will regret. Use your smarts to avoid trouble. Exercise and proper eating and drinking habits are encouraged.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A problem will crop up if you let a sensitive issue metastasize. Do your best to contain your emotions and deal with matters professionally and without hesitation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Emotional spending, overreacting and getting involved in indulgent behavior won’t resolve matters. Do what needs to be done and move on.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone will not be happy with the way things are going at home or work. Don’t let your emotions take the reins and lead to regret. Remain calm and do your best.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Following your emotions will lead to temptation and misrepresentation. Be careful not to promise something you don’t want to actually carry out. Be frank and willing to deliver what’s expected of you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Avoid being impulsive when dealing with investments, contracts or emotional matters.

Take time to figure out the best way to advance. You want to make money, not lose it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t let impulse get the better of you. When in doubt, take a step back and think about the probable outcome of your actions. Don’t let an assumption ruin a relationship. ©2017 UFS
