Teenager killed in crash south of Prophetstown
By CHARLENE BIELEMA cbielema@shawmedia.com
DIXON – The funeral service for a teenager killed in a crash on a rural road south of Prophetstown on April 30 was scheduled for Monday, May 5.
The visitation for Jackson L. Miller, 13, of Prophetstown was from 3 to 7 p.m. May 5 at the Prophetstown United Methodist Church, 200 W. Second St., with the funeral service set to begin at 10 a.m. Tuesday, May 6.
Jackson died at the scene of a crash in the 18000 block of Lomax Road. Whiteside County deputies were dispatched to the area shortly after 3:30 p.m. April 30 in response to the crash.
According to a news release, a preliminary investigation determined that a black Ford Edge driven by Tara Fettig, 60, of Tampico was traveling east on Lomax Road when a 125cc Kawasaki dirt bike operated by Jackson entered the road from a private driveway and the two collided. The crash remains under investigation.
According to his obituary, Jackson,
the son of Shawn and Shantell Miller, was a seventh grader in the Prophetstown-Lyndon-Tampico school district. He was a wrestler and a member of the school’S track team.
Prophetstown-Lyndon-Tampico School District Superintendent Heidi Lensing announced on social media April 30 that a student in the district had died earlier in the day as the result of a tragic accident.
“This is an unimaginable loss and our hearts go out to the family and all who are grieving,” Lensing wrote. “As a district, we are committed to supporting our students and staff during this incredibly difficult time.”
Lensing said counselors, social workers and area ministers were at the campus for sixth to 12th graders May 1 to provide comfort, guidance and a space for students to process the loss.
Prophetstown police, firefighters and EMS, the Illinois State Police, Illinois Department of Natural Resources Conservation Police, the Whiteside County Coroner’s Office and Randy’s Towing assisted at the scene.
Man caught trucking $2.5 million in cocaine sentenced to 11 years
By CHARLENE BIELEMA cbielema@shawmedia.com
ROCKFORD – A California truck driver was sentenced to 11 years in federal prison April 28 for trafficking $2.5 million worth of cocaine through Whiteside County two years ago.
Ronald Coleman, 45, of Barstow, California, pleaded guilty earlier this year to one count of possession with intent to distribute 5 kilograms or more of cocaine. He admitted in a plea agreement that in April 2023, he was the driver of a semitrailer traveling on Interstate 88 through Whiteside County. Inside his semitrailer, he knowingly and intentionally possessed with the intent to distribute more than 91 kilograms of cocaine with a street value of $2.5 million,
according to a news release.
Coleman, who was arrested during an inspection, was transporting the cocaine to a warehouse in Chicago, where he was to exchange the cocaine for cash and transport the cash back to California, according to the release.
Inside his semitrailer, Coleman also possessed a firearm to protect himself, the cocaine and the cash during the transport.
Coleman expected to be paid for transporting the cocaine from California to Chicago.
U.S. District Judge Iain D. Johnston imposed the sentence during a hearing in federal court in Rockford. The Illinois State Police provided critical assistance in the investigation, according to the release.

Detective: Slain Mt. Morris man was shot multiple times after going to mom’s apartment to visit his dog
By EARLEEN HINTON ehinton@shawmedia.com
OREGON – A 25-year-old Mt. Morris man was visiting his mother’s apartment to see his dog April 21 when his stepfather fatally shot him, an Ogle County detective said.
Ogle County Detective Chad Gallick testified April 30 that autopsy results showed Cameron Pasley suffered four gunshot wounds to his torso, one to his abdomen and one to his hand before his death. Derek Swanlund, 44, is charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one misdemeanor weapons charge in connection with Pasley’s death.
Swanlund appeared in court April 30 for a preliminary hearing, escorted into a courtroom of the Ogle County Judicial Center wearing shackles and dressed in an orange jumpsuit issued to Ogle County Jail inmates.
Judge Anthony Peska ruled that probable cause existed to continue the case through the court system and remanded Swanlund to the jail, where he has been held since his arrest.
Swanlund pleaded not guilty to the charges and is scheduled to be in court again at 1 p.m. June 4.
Gallick testified that Swanlund, Pasley and Pasley’s mother were in the apartment on Ogle Avenue in Mt. Morris when Swanlund and Pasley’s mother began arguing.
“Cameron had a dog that he could not keep at his apartment, so his mom kept the dog and he had come to visit the dog,” Gallick said under questioning by Assistant State’s Attorney Melissa Voss.
Gallick said the mother told police that during the argument Swanlund began bumping her with his belly. She told police that Swanlund kept interrupting, so she retreated into another room, where her son was. Pasley then decided to leave.
“[Pasley] indicated he did not want to argue anymore, gave her a hug and exited the room,” Gallick said. “She heard some pops, saw some flashes, then she heard Cameron say [Swan -
lund] shot him.”
M. Swanlund Cameron Pasley when he graduated from Oregon High School in 2018.
The mother called police at 4:59 p.m. and told the dispatcher that her husband had “shot her son,” Gallick testified.
When Mt. Morris police officer Cassie Rogers arrived at the apartment complex, a man working outside told her that Swanlund was walking west on a city street carrying a gun. Rogers found Swanlund walking with the gun in his hand and recognized him as a clerk at the Shell gas station in town, according to testimony.
Rogers saw “what appeared to be blood” on Swanlund’s shoes when she approached him, Gallick said, adding that Swanlund was taken into custody without incident.
“[Swanlund] indicated there was an argument, it became physical, and he shot Cameron,” Gallick said, referring to Rogers’ police report.
Pasley was found on the landing of the staircase bleeding from his torso, with his mother trying to help him.
“She was rendering aid,” Gallick said of the mother’s actions as Ogle County Sgt. Ross Dillon entered the apartment. “She said Derek had shot him.”
Pasley was pronounced dead at OSF Saint Katharine Medical Center in Dixon after being transported from the scene by Mt. Morris emergency medical services.
Gallick said Swanlund had legally purchased the 9-mm Smith & Wesson gun in North Caroline and that it was kept in a box in the apartment. Gallick said Swanlund did not have a firearm owner’s identification card, as
required by Illinois law.
Gallick said police found splattered blood on a wall inside the apartment and bloody footprints near an exit door.
During a preliminary hearing, prosecutors present evidence and defense attorneys can cross-examine witnesses. The judge then decides if probable cause exists to continue.
Under cross-examination, Swanlund’s attorney, Assistant Public Defender Eric Morrow, asked Gallick whether he had interviewed witnesses himself or was just basing his testimony on police reports.
“I did not interview any witnesses personally,” Gallick said. “I reviewed all the police reports.”
“My client wasn’t threatening in any way, correct?” Morrow said.
“Correct,” Gallick said.
Morrow then asked Gallick if any toxicology tests were done on Pasley during the April 22 autopsy and whether any cellphones were taken as part of the investigation.
Gallick said he did not know if any toxicology tests had been taken and Swanlund’s phone had yet to be examined.
Peska ruled that probable cause existed to continue the case. Swanlund pleaded not guilty to all charges and requested a jury trial – a normal procedure for felony criminal cases.
Peska remanded Swanlund to the Ogle County Jail, continuing Swanlund’s detention following an April 25 hearing.
At that detention hearing, Morrow argued that the court could place conditions on Swanlund and release him from custody. He said Swanlund was originally from Belvidere and had no criminal history other than one misdemeanor charge for which he received and completed court supervision.
Morrow said Swanlund bought the gun legally when he lived in North Carolina and had lived in Mt. Morris for 10 years and had been consistently employed while residing there.
He argued that Swanlund could be released from custody with conditions
that he have no contact with the victim’s family, wear an electronic monitoring device, be held in home detention at a relative’s home or even be ordered to stay out of Mt. Morris.
“I realize these are serious charges,” Morrow said. “But there are conditions that could be put in place for his release. He has led a law-abiding life. He was compliant with law enforcement and followed their commands.”
Voss argued that Swanlund was found “walking away with blood on his shoes” and was a “real and present threat to the community and those around him.” Voss also said Swanlund had broken Illinois law by not registering the handgun. Swanlund is charged with a misdemeanor for that offense.
“The defendant has already shown he does not follow orders,” Voss said.
Peska said Swanlund’s lack of criminal history did not lessen the risk of releasing him from custody, saying he demonstrated “hostility and aggression” by “belly bumping” Pasley’s mother and then leaving the apartment after the shooting.
Peska said there weren’t any conditions he could impose to protect the safety of others.
Pasley was a 2018 graduate of Oregon High School and a full-time custodian at the Blackhawk Center, where the school’s physical education classes and competition basketball and volleyball games are held.
One day after the shooting, Oregon School District 220 issued a statement saying that the “OCUSD family experienced a heartbreaking loss.”
“Cameron will be remembered for his easygoing personality, his ability to strike up a conversation with just about anyone and the calming presence he brought into every room. He had a bright future ahead of him and was someone who made even stressful situations feel manageable,” according to the statement.
Finch Funeral Home & Crematory in Mt. Morris handled Pasley’s arrangements. His obituary can be viewed on its website.

SVCC opens outdoor classroom for students
By BRANDON CLARK bclark@shawmedia.com
DIXON – Sauk Valley Community College over the past few years has been working to create an outdoor multipurpose space for its students.
Vice President of Business Services Kent Sorenson said that about three years ago, SVCC leadership started working to create a campus grounds master plan that would encompass the entire property and would include roadwork, foliage and an outdoors classroom and study space at the back of the college, which sits along the scenic Rock River.
The resulting classroom features an outside stage, several hammocks, a traveling artists’ display, new seating, tables and a nearby student coffee bar.
Vice President of Academics and Student Services Jon Mandrell said that the college had longed for an opportunity to revitalize its riverfront space, and it was just a matter of where and when to do it.
“I think the biggest outcome of the project was to revitalize the space, capitalizing the riverfront use, but then also to create a multipurpose space,” Mandrell said. “You can come out here, study, have performances and classroom presentations.”
The outdoor classroom features stone bench-style seating; several black pillars equipped with power outlets for students to charge their electronic devices; and three large whiteboards for instructors, one of which has a reddish tint to reduce sun glare.
“We’ve had a lot of our first-year experience courses go out here, especially in the fall at the beginning of the semester, and being able to showcase that,” SVCC Vice President of Advancement Lori Cortez said. “It’s a really cool learning space for our students.”
Willett, Hofmann & Associates of Dixon is the project’s main architecture and engineering firm. It suggested that SVCC connect with Ayres & Associates due to its expertise in landscape design, and Ayres & Associates eventually joined the project as a subconsultant. Input also was gathered from faculty, staff and students.
“Furniture is always a really big topic with our students,” Mandrell said. “It seems like as we do remodels around campus, they’re very interested in furniture. They’re very interested in power sources, ease and access
higher graduation rate and have higher success rates,” Cortez said. “So we bring different artists out here, whether they’re magicians [or] musicians, and cultivating a really fun space for our students.”
Besides student use, Mandrell said the outdoor space also will host several community events, such as the college’s Tri-Chamber business gathering in July and the alumni celebration that follows the annual student commencement. Eventually, he would like to hold the school’s police academy graduation there.
Sorenson said the project cost about $1.5 million and was funded using a combination of the college’s local funds and a state grant.
to the building.”
SVCC leadership took student feedback to heart, adding new outdoor seating along with vibrant red hammocks near three art displays – featuring sculptures by artists from across the country – which change yearly. A fourth display is reserved for a yet-tobe-selected artist from the Sauk community.
“We’re really trying to make this the one place where students want to come,” Sorenson said. “So there’s a
coffee shop right inside.”
The Skyhawk Coffee Bar provides students with snacks and caffeinated beverages to help fuel them through lectures and study sessions.
Students can access the cafe from inside the college and then walk outside to the new multipurpose outdoor space, which also features a stage for performances and student activities and engagement.
“We know that students who engage on campus have a higher GPA, have a
Director of Facilities Rich Groleau said SVCC’s next capital development board project focuses on expanding and improving the outdoor space. Plans include extending the concrete paths, upgrading lighting and roads behind the building, and improving accessibility across the back area.
The project also covers parking lot renovations and resurfacing Alan Pfeifer Drive. If funding allows, additional upgrades could include re-siding the school’s original T1 building and installing a larger overhead door for the agriculture department, as some of its equipment does not fit through the existing 11-foot door.

Married fighter pilots with Sterling ties soar the skies side by side over Japan
By BRANDON CLARK bclark@shawmedia.com
STERLING – For U.S. Air Force Capts. Tanner “Brüt” Massey and Sydney “Menace” Sheppard, the view from 30,000 feet is not only a mission – it’s a shared way of life.
The married fighter pilots, both stationed in northern Japan, fly F-16 training missions together, serving their country while navigating military life side by side in the air and at home.
Massey, a 2015 Sterling High School graduate, and Sheppard have been in the Air Force for about five years. They met as cadets in the Air Force ROTC program at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where what started as a college friendship eventually turned into a lifelong partnership.
“It definitely wasn’t love at first sight – at least not for her,” Massey recalled. “I had to work harder to get her attention than anything else I’d ever done.”
Sheppard jokingly agrees, saying their relationship started when “a boy invited himself to a girl’s family Christmas and then never left.”
The couple married in March 2020, just before Sheppard’s graduation and their move to their first duty station for pilot training. Despite the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, they launched into a demanding but rewarding military journey, one that has taken them across the globe – from training in the U.S. to deployments in South Korea and now Japan.
Known as the “Mighty Viper,” flying F-16s is a dream the two share.
“It’s a welcome challenge,” Sheppard said. “It’s like flying down a backroad listening to ‘Thunderstruck.’ ”
Massey echoed her sentiment, calling the aircraft a “phenomenal” multirole fighter that remains one of the most lethal platforms despite being fourth generation.
The pair flies missions in the same formation, something few military couples get to experience.
“It’s a cool and unique experience to get to fly alongside your spouse,” Sheppard said. “You get a front-row seat to their growth as a pilot, which is awesome, and you also get to see all of their funny little mistakes to tease them about later.”
Although they fly in separate jets, their bond translates into an intuitive partnership in the skies.
“The real advantage with Sydney is more personal – it’s the ability to read subtle cues, like a slight change in her tone over the radio,” Massey said. “Usually, it’s when I’m pushing her patience a little too far.”
However, both Sheppard and Massey emphasized that all fighter pilots they serve with are highly trained and capable, and personal familiarity is only one part of a larger team effort.
The couple has flown “too many training missions together to count,” said Sheppard, with Massey logging almost 470 flying hours to date.
The pair has been stationed in Japan since late 2024 and is immersed in frequent flight training and preparing for pilot upgrades. Off duty, they have been settling into their home and enjoying winter sports and travel.
“We’re diving into the local culture,” Massey said.
Future travel plans include destinations such as Bali, Vietnam and New Zealand.
Their future in the Air Force remains open-ended. Both have about six years left in their initial 10-year pilot commitments and are considering continuing active duty or transitioning to the Air National Guard.
“We will stay in the military as long as it still fits our lifestyle and family goals,” Sheppard said.
For now, the pair continues to dominate the skies together.

BASEBALL:
Hall uses aggressive running, wind-aided hits to top E-P
by KEVIN HIERONYMUS khieronymus@shawmedia.com
SPRING VALLEY – The way the Hall Red Devils have been struggling offensively of late, coach Tom Keegan knew he had to scratch out runs any way he could.
He was waving the Red Devils around third base any chance he got. Most of the time, they got home safely, sometimes they didn’t, but it was enough for the Red Devils to scratch out an 8-5 Three Rivers East victory over Erie-Prophetstown on April 28 at Kirby Park.
“It was nice to get some runs early and put the ball in play a little bit. I probably ran us into a few outs at home,” Keegan said. “On a crazy, windy day, you’re going to force the kid to make a perfect play. They made a couple plays at the plate, but we were also able to get a few runs across as well.”
When asked if he’s an aggressive coach at third, Keegan smiled and said, ‘Yeah, or stupid. Probably say the latter.’ ”
“You’ve got to try to make something happen,” he added. “We haven’t really been an offensive juggernaut as of late. Sometimes you say, what the heck. You just send them.”
With the game tied at 4-4, Jack Jablonski doubled to lead off the bottom of the third inning. He was still standing at the keystone two outs later when the wind started playing tricks on the Panthers.
Clayton Fusinetti hit a wind-aided double over the center fielder’s head to score Jablonski.
Jack Curran popped up a high fly halfway down the first-base line that E-P pitcher Braden Frank overran as the wind pushed it farther back into play.
Fusinetti scored on the play and Curran scored after a walk to Jaxon Pinter when the Panthers lost a fly ball to right-center by Hunter Edgcomb to make it 7-4.
“We were fortunate that we put a couple in the jet stream,” Keegan said. “Kind of bit them a little bit and we were able to get something as a result. We’ll take them any way we can get them.”
E-P coach Jeff Wunderlich said that inning was costly.
“The ball in the right-center gap should have been caught with two outs to end that inning,” he said. “The ball wasn’t seen and then my pitcher mis -

judged in the wind. Those are tough plays. We make one of those, especially the first one, we’re out of the inning and it’s a tied ballgame and my senior catcher hit the bomb (in the fifth) and we’d be up 5-4.”
E-P catcher Parker Rangel greeted Red Devils reliever Luke Bryant by parking a blast onto Devlin Street in left field to lead off the fifth inning, but the Panthers never scored again.
“Noah (Plym) gutted it out for three innings. He’d probably tell you he didn’t have his best stuff, but Luke came on and handled it the rest of the way,” Kee-
gan said.
The Red Devils (12-8, 3-3) put four runs on the board in the first inning on four hits, including three RBIs by the Curran twins, one by Braden and two by Jack. Keegan’s aggressive coaching paid off as Geno Ferrari slid into home and forced Rangel, the EP catcher, to drop the ball.
The Panthers (3-9, 0-3) scored one run in the second and came back with three in the third to tie the game. Evan Steimle had a two-run hit and Braylon Swertfeger followed with an RBI double.
“I’m happy to see us play a usually
good, solid team in Hall,” Wunderlich said. “We’re right there. We’ve lost a lot of close ballgames this year, usually later in the game. I challenged my guys. We actually hit the whole game instead of putting up a lot of zeroes like we have in the past. Moving in the right direction.”
Jablonski led the Red Devils with a 3-for-4 day at the plate while Fusinetti and Jack Curran (three RBIs) each went 2 for 3.
Rangel and Steimle each went 3 for 4 for E-P with No. 9 hitter Ethan Daubman going 2 for 3, including a double.

OREGON – With Class 1A sprint relay powers from Forreston-Polo, LenaWinslow and Morrison entered at the Oregon Hall of Fame Hawk Classic on May 2, a mini-state meet was expected. However, a short-handed Morrison team scratched out of the 4x200 and 4x400-meter relays and used a backup squad in the 4x100 relay.
Last year, the Mustangs won all three relays at the state meet and returned the bulk of those units, including star runner Brady Anderson. At Oregon, it came down to Levi Milder, who took second in the 100 and 200 meters to Alec Schlichting of Lena-Winslow.
“We let Brady rest and get healthy,” Milder said. “There are bigger and brighter things ahead.”
The 200 between Schlichting and Milder was a near photo finish at 22.0722.09, which rank as the first and third best times in 1A this year.
“Considering the weather delay, rain and cold, I’m OK with that time,” said Milder, who was sixth in the 1A state meet as a sophomore with a 22.38.
Schlichting, who has the top 1A time in the 100, bested Milder 10.99 to 11.09 and also led Lena-Winslow to a win in the 4x100 relay. He was awarded co-MVP of the meet with Rochelle pole vaulter Andrew Nuyen, who broke the meet record by almost two feet.
Erik Lindahl of Erie-Prophetstown had the record at 14-9, set in 2002. With a large crowd assembled around the pole vault pit, the nationally ranked Nuyen cleared 16-6 and had a close attempt at 17-1.
Nuyen helped the Hubs to their firstever win at the meet. In the 21-team field, Rochelle had 95 points to 76 for second-place Forreston-Polo. In a close battle for third, it was Woodstock North with 63, Lena-Winslow with 62 and Winnebago with 60.
Forreston-Polo dominated the jumps and took second in the 4x100, 4x200 and 4x400 relays.
Sophomore Jonathan Milnes, who had never tried long jumping until the week of the meet, surprised the field with a leap of 20 feet, 8 inches to claim first.
“My thought process was to throw my speed out and do the best I could,” said Milnes, who also took third in the high jump at 5-10.
Fellow sophomore teammate Eli Fer-
the quartet ran a 1:31.18 in the 4x200 relay, second to Woodstock North’s 1:31.04 and the fifth best time so far in 1A.
Schwarz, Milnes, Dewey and Hayden Vinnedge were close behind LenaWinslow in the 4x100 relay, 43.37 to 43.88. In the 4x400 relay, won by Byron with a 3:29, Ferris, Vinnedge, Schwarz and Dewey were next at 3:32.
Milledgeville-Eastland was close behind in third at 3:33, with Konner Johnson, Micah Toms-Smith, Adam Awender and Draven Zier. The same group was fourth in the 4x200 relay (1:33.50).
Parker Krogman gave the program a title with a season-best time of 41.61 in the 300 hurdles.
“Dropping the baton in the 4x100 relay and running a bad race in the high hurdles set me up for this,” Krogman said. “I knew I couldn’t have another bad performance.”
Milledgeville-Eastland tied Morrison for 11th with 27 points. Oregon was next with 24, followed by Newman 19 and Erie-Prophetstown 18.
In the most competitive event of the meet, with six runners at 2:01 or lower, Wyatt Widolff of Newman and Daniel Gonzales of Oregon had PRs in attempting to chase down Evan White of Rockford Christian in the 800 meters. White held on to win in 1:57.68. Widolff was next at 1:58.28 and Gonzales ran a 1:58.53.
“I wanted to pace off Evan and outkick him, but he‘s got a legendary kick himself,” said Wildoff, who ran a 1:55 in helping Newman almost break the state 1A record in the 4x800 relay last year.
For Gonzales, it was his first time under two minutes and the junior has Ian Hussung’s school record of 1:56.57 in his sights.
“I got tripped at 450 meters in and lost some momentum,” Gonzales said. “I used it as motivation and then on the last 150, I treated it like I was running downhill.”
Newman’s 4x800 relay of Briar Ivey, Cody McBride, Trevor Simpson and Widolff were third at 8:44.
ris was second in the high jump at 6 feet. Ferris and Milnes also ran on the 4x100 and 4x200 relays that took second.
Senior triple jumper Billy Lowry was first in the triple jump for Forreston-Polo with a mark of 41 feet, 4 inches, done on his first attempt before the weather turned inclement and the meet was delayed because of lightning. Hunter DeWall added a third in the discus with a toss of 140 feet.
It was on the track that Forreston-Polo
was most impressive with senior Noah Dewey anchoring sophomore-laden groups in each of the three relays.
“My sophomore year, I was taught things by the seniors,” said Dewey, a fivetime state relay medalist. “I’m trying to do the same thing with these sophomores. We have a lot of fast guys and I love the cooperation it takes, whether it’s Polo or Forreston runners.”
With Ferris, Milnes and another sophomore Brody Schwartz joining Dewey,
A surprise fourth place for Newman was George Jungerman’s PR of 135-6 in the discus. Oregon got a fourth from Briggs Sellers in the shot put with an effort of 45.4.
Amboy’s Joel Billhorn was fourth in the 400 meters with a 53.72. E-P got a third from Nathan Punke (12-0) and fifth from Aidan Jepson (11-6) in the pole vault. Freshman Lane Decker had a PR of 43.71 to take fourth in the 300 hurdles for Morrison.
