The Review November 18, 2014 OREGON | VILLAGE OF PROGRESS BANQUET

Consumer appreciation night Contributions from all involved with nonprofit celebrated

BY CHRISTI WARREN

OREGON – Sometimes, the greatest appreciation comes without a word – instead with a beaming smile.

And sometimes, it’s followed by thunderous applause.

Speaker Tom Wadsworth presented the first award of the Village of Progress annual banquet – the John Herrmann Personal Achievement Award – to Deanna Gregory, who first enrolled with the organization in 1993.

In 2000, Gregory began working part-time at Rochelle’s Dairy Queen before a serious health issue forced her to leave her job, and the Village, too.

She came back in 2005, and since then has continued to work hard toward achieving her personal goals, one of which is purely and simply to help others. Another is to be able to live independently. It’s for those reasons, Wadsworth said, that Gregory was given the award.

Gregory smiled as he wrapped up his remarks, and quietly took her seat again as the crowd erupted in applause.

More than 300 people showed up to St. Mary’s Learning Center in Oregon on Wednesday night to celebrate the talents and contributions of the Village of Progress’ many consumers and volunteers.

The night marked the 45th annual banquet for the Village of Progress, the private, not-for-profit organization that provides training and rehabilitation for Ogle County adults with developmental disabilities.

These clients are called consumers.

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

RED KETTLE CAMPAIGN

CONSUMER

CONTINUED FROM 1

Founded in 1969, the organization works with dedicated volunteers to help their consumers live fulfilling lives as contributing members of society.

The annual banquet is the organization’s chance to thank volunteers and consumers alike for their work.

Wednesday marked the 22nd time the John Herrmann Personal Achievement Award was given out.

It’s named for the 30 years of dedicated service that Herrmann put in as a member of the Village’s Board of Directors, starting in the organization’s first year of operation, and then later as a member of the Village’s Foundation Board.

The evening wasn’t just about handing out plaques and medals, though.

For the 20th year in a row, the foundation was able to fund college scholarships – two, to be specific.

To be eligible for a scholarship, the applicant must be a resident of Ogle County and a high school senior, or a full-time college student.

They must also have a disability, or be majoring in an area related to the field.

CHICAGO (AP) – Collisions between cars and deer in Illinois were down in 2013 compared to 2012 – though not by much.

Figures released Wednesday show a 1 percent decline in numbers of cars hitting deer in 2013 compared to 2012. There were 15,334 such crashes last year compared to 15,495 in 2012.

However, the number of people killed in vehicle-deer collisions rose from four in 2012 to six in 2013.

State agencies report nearly 80 percent of crashes occur at twilight or at night when deer are most active.

Illinois law requires all accidents resulting in damage of $1,500 or more must be reported to police. Drivers may collect a deer killed by their cars without reporting it. However, they are prohibited from taking the deer to a taxidermist or tannery.

STERLING – It’s a sure sign of the holidays when you see volunteers for the Salvation Army stationed at their red kettles.

But this year, they need some help.

The Salvation Army of Whiteside County needs bell ringers for its annual Red Kettle Campaign, which started Nov. 7.

The agency hopes to raise $125,000 during the campaign, which will make up just over 60 percent of its operating budget.

“We are looking for as many volunteers as we can get,” Envoy DeShawn Johnson said.

“We have a lot of shifts available, and we can use as many volunteers as possible.”

Bell ringing volunteers work 2-hour shifts per day.

In addition to kettle sites in Sterling and Rock Falls, ringers are needed at Sullivan’s Foods in Morrison, he said.

Go to tsasterling.org, or call 815-625-1622 for more information or to volunteer.

Exhumation to unearth cold case evidence?

Businessman says informants gave ‘really good leads’

BY VINDE WELLS Shaw Media

An Oregon business owner said Wednesday he expects the exhumation of the body of a Rockford man to yield important evidence into a 66-year-old unsolved double homicide.

Mike Arians said Stanley Skridla’s coffin might hold more than just Skridla’s remains. Informants have told him, he said, that the skull of the other murder victim, Mary Jane Reed, Oregon, and the gun that killed the two could be inside.

Arians and Skridla’s nephew, Steve Skridla, 62, Rockford, held a press conference Wednesday afternoon at the bar and restaurant Arians owns on Oregon’s south side. They announced that Winnebago County Judge Eugene G. Doherty has signed an order granting their petition to exhume Stanley Skridla’s body from Calvary Cemetery, Rockford.

The order says the exhumation must be completed

by June 30, 2015.

Reed, who was only 17 at the time, failed to return home after a date on June 24, 1948. She and Skridla, 28, her companion on the night she disappeared, were subsequently found shot to death.

Skridla’s body was discovered the next morning on County Farm Road south of Oregon. He had been shot five times. Reed’s badly decomposed body was found 4 days later in a ditch along Devil’s Backbone Road west of Oregon. She had been shot once in the head.

The double murder was never solved, although a new investigation of the case by the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department in 2005 pointed to possible culprits.

Arians said he has new evidence.

“Three people have come forward with information,” he said. “One said there may be additional body parts [in the coffin] that aren’t his [Skridla’s].”

Another informant said some of the ballistics questions could be clarified by exhuming the body, Arians said. Steve Skridla, who never knew his uncle, said he hopes the exhumation will answer some questions.

“I hope it uncovers enough that we get answers to what happened,” he said. “A lot of questions aren’t answered. What happened to body parts of Mary Jane?

Could they be in my uncle’s coffin? Could the gun be in there, too?”

“I’d like to have this solved,” Skridla continued. “The parties involved are likely gone, but it’s still family.”

Ogle County Judge Steve Pemberton, now retired, ordered the exhumation of Reed’s body in 2004 after Arians and her brother, Warren Reed of Rock Falls, filed a petition.

The body was exhumed in August of 2005 from its grave in Daysville Cemetery, southeast of Oregon, for a post-mortem examination and forensic testing. The body was interred later the same day, except for the skull, several vertebrae, and a femur, which were held

News that starts with you.

for several months for further testing.

Pemberton later ordered those remains returned to Warren Reed, Mary Jane’s closest surviving relative, to be reburied. However, the bones have not yet been reburied. Arians said they are in a vault in Rockford.

Arians claims the skull and at least one of the vertebrae are not Mary Jane’s. He hired Linda Keplinger, a professor emeritus in anthropology at the University of Illinois in Urbana, in 2007 to examine the skull and several vertebrae he said came from Mary Jane’s casket. Klepinger’s report said the skull and one vertebra did not match up with the other vertebrae and appeared to come from different people.

Arians said Wednesday that if Mary Jane’s skull is found in Stanley’s coffin, he believes that would show that Ogle County law enforcement officials, the medical examiner, and the coroner were all part of a conspiracy in 1948 to cover up the crimes which he said he suspects were committed by a county deputy.

He said his informants have pointed him to two other people, who he referred to as “accomplices,” who helped the deputy commit the murders. He said the two accomplices are still living.

Arians said he is working with the Rockford Police Department and Winnebago County Coroner and State’s Attorney, and also hopes to enlist the help of the FBI. He has contacted the FBI, he said, because his investigation has uncovered evidence that Mary Jane was kidnapped from the place where Stanley was shot before she was killed.

“Mary Jane was kidnapped, and that’s a federal crime,” he said.

Arians said he is excited by the evidence he has uncovered.

“I think we may have a surprise for everyone on this,” he said. “We have some really good leads.”

“It’s been a long battle — 15 years,” he went on to say. “We’ve got some good stuff coming down the pike here. I really can’t let the cat out of the bag yet.”

Both Arians and Skridla said a retired Ogle County detective has called them and told them, in a threatening manner, to drop their inquiries into the murders.

“Someone shot my uncle five times – three times in the groin and twice in the chest – and after he was dead threw acid on his face and hands,” Skridla said.

“That’s a statement killing.”

Arians disputed critics who have said the chain of custody was broken when Mary Jane’s skull and other bones were turned over to her brother, rather than to a funeral director.

“All this talk that the chain of custody was broken – that’s a bunch of crap,” he said. “They’re one-of-akind; they cannot be duplicated. The skull that was in the coffin [Mary Jane’s] did not belong to Mary Jane Reed.”

He said comparing photographs and X-rays taken during the examination after the exhumation to the bones he has will confirm they came from the coffin.

Arians also disputed that he is hoping to gain financially from the murders.

“The primary purpose is to bring both families closure,” he said. “Solving the double homicides would be a bonus.”

He said he has, in fact, spent a great deal of his own money.

“I’m not necessarily proud to admit this, but it’s cost me $125,00 to $130,000.”

He said that when a TV station was at his restaurant earlier this year to film for a documentary, he was forced to close his business for 3 days and lost money then.

“For anyone out there who says we did this for financial gain – that makes my blood boil,” Arians said.

Pork perfect for fall dinner Risotto side dish shines in pairing with tenderloin

BY SUSAN SELASKY MCT News Service

S

ome people steer clear of making risotto because it can be tedious. A risotto is not something you whip up for a speedy weeknight meal.

Rather, it should be paired with a special meal as a side dish.

Risotto is not a dish in which the ingredients are dumped into a pan on the stove top and you set and forget it. You need to watch it, pay attention and watch how the rice begins to take on a plumpness as you swirl in the broth.

The end result is so worth it and your guests will love it. After a few attempts at making risotto, you will develop your own technique.

The hallmarks of a good risotto are rice that’s al dente (firm to the bite or with just a bit of chewiness), nestled in a creamy, flavorful sauce.

Today’s creamy-sage scented risotto is paired with lightly seasoned pork tenderloin with a beerglaze. A key to this entire dish is also to practice mise en place. That’s the French term for having all ingredients prepped and ready to go. You will cook the risotto while the pork tenderloin cooks and rests.

The pork should then be at the perfect doneness when the risotto is ready to serve.

A traditional risotto takes about 40 to 45 minutes – you should be able to complete this entire dish in 1 hour. You can be hands-off while sautéing the garlic and shallots, but once you begin adding the liquid (beef broth in this case), you need to pay attention to the heat and texture.

The rice used for risotto is a short-grain one that’s

MCT News Service

Beer-glazed pork tenderloin with Michigan cherry risotto makes an elegant fall dinner party meal.

high in starch. From that starchiness comes the creamy texture of risotto.

Arborio is the most commonly used rice because it takes on a lot of liquid, but will still hold its shape.

I find using a large, wide skillet with deep sides works best when making risotto.

The reason you need to pay attention and stir is the rice needs a chance to slowly absorb liquid so it plumps up and cooks.

The heat should be about medium. If the heat is too low, you risk the risotto being soggy. If the heat is too high, the liquid will evaporate too fast and the rice won’t absorb enough of it to cook and puff up.

The rice should taste al dente – firm to the bite or a little chewy. If not, continue adding more broth, a little at a time.

I find it best to serve risotto immediately and when

there is still liquid in the pan. The risotto can be on the loose side because it will continue to absorb liquid and tighten up.

Michigan is a hot spot for the craft beer trend, and it’s prime time for hard cider.

With that in mind, I turned to marrying the myriad of flavors you often find with those into a pork dish. You will not only impress your guests, but craft beer fans as well.

In this recipe, you can use either a craft beer (a fruity wheat ale works well) or hard cider. The beer is added to the skillet the pork was cooked in to make a nice glaze. It’s finished up with a swirl of apricot jam for a bit of sweetness and consistency.

Beer-glazed Pork Tenderloin with Michigan Tart Cherry Risotto

Serves: 4 Preparation time: 15 minutes Total time: 1 hour Pork Tenderloin 1 good-size pork tenderloin, about 1¼ pounds, trimmed of silver skin Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste 1½ tablespoons mix of unsalted butter, olive oil Risotto 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic 4 medium shallots, peeled, finely chopped (about 3⁄4 cup) 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or sage leaves (more if you like) Generous pinch of salt 1 cup Arborio rice 4 cups reduced-sodium beef broth or stock, warmed 1/3 cup dried tart cherries, coarsely chopped if large

2 tablespoons unsalted butter 3 ⁄4 cup grated Grana Padano cheese or other favorite good quality Italian cheese Glaze 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage 1 cup hard cider or favorite beer 2 tablespoons apricot jam Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Trim the tapered end of the tenderloin, this piece will cook quicker and you will remove it from the pan before the other piece is done.

Season the pork all over with salt and freshly ground black pepper or your favorite all-purpose seasoning.

In an oven-proof skillet large enough to fit the pork

pieces, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

(If your skillet is small, cut the larger piece of pork in half.) Add the pork and brown on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the skillet to oven and cook the pork about 20 minutes or until an internal temperature is 145 degrees.

Meanwhile, get ready for the risotto. Place a saucepan with the beef broth over low heat to warm. In another saucepan or deep skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté about 1 minute or just until it becomes fragrant. Add the shallots and sauté until they are tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Do not allow them to brown or the end result of the risotto will be brownish. Stir in the thyme or sage and a good pinch of salt.

Stir in the rice and combine well with shallots.

Add enough warm broth to come to the surface of the rice and stir well.

Keep stirring slowly and when the stock has been absorbed continue to add broth about 1/2 cup at a time and stir until it’s absorbed. Continue adding broth until the rice is al dente, about 20-30 minutes. If the rice is still too firm and you have no broth left, you can add some water. Stir in cherries during the last few minutes of cooking. Just before serving, stir in 2 tablespoons butter and the grated cheese.

To finish the glaze, in the same pan the pork was cooked in, add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and sauté sage for 1 minute over medium. Add beer and apricot jam. Reduce over medium heat to desired consistency.

Slice pork and serve on top of the risotto. Drizzle with the glaze.

QUICK FIX

Sweet sea scallops go well over colorful rice

BY LINDA GASSENHEIMER MCT News Service

Fresh sea scallops served with a colorful vegetable rice medley make a quick dinner that only takes 20 minutes to complete. Scallops, which need very little cooking, should be cooked so that the inside remains creamy.

Prolonged cooking will shrink and toughen them.

The secret to searing the scallops is to make sure your skillet is very hot. The scallops will only need 3 to 4 minutes to cook this way. If your scallops seem very large, check for doneness by slicing into one. If the meat is opaque, they are done; if translucent, cook them another 30 seconds.

Diced or sliced fresh onions, red bell pepper and mushrooms are available in most produce sections of the supermarket. Using these cuts down on your prep time and the rice can be made in 10 minutes.

Helpful hints • Scallops should smell sweet, should not be sitting in liquid and show no browning when purchased.

• Freeze dried chives can be substituted for fresh.

Countdown • Make rice dish.

• Sauté scallops.

MORRISON – A dilapidated city apartment building that has been an eyesore and a safety hazard for years will finally be razed.

The property at 703705 W. Morris St., next to the General Electric parking lot, has been owned by the city since a judge ordered its transfer almost 3 years ago.

Residents had voiced concerns that the building was ready to collapse, and had been pushing the city to take action.

In July 2012, the council voted to start taking bids for the demolition, but the project never came to fruition. At the

DIXON – The public can vote until 11:59 p.m. Nov. 25 to help Agriculture in the Classroom in Lee County win a grant from Grinnell Mutual Reinsurance Co.

The apartment building had been abandoned for about 12 years. When the judge’s order came down, the city took action to protect itself from liability.

The city attorney suggested the city use police and public works resources to secure the property and post trespassing signs.

Wise had tried to use the seizure of the building as an example to owners who ignored city building codes.

“If you choose to ignore our request to bring your property up to code, we will take action to seize the property and do what’s necessary,” he had said.

Pannier said there are no plans for the land after the building is razed.

“We just need to get rid of the building – it’s an eyesore and a hazard,” Pannier said.

time, then-City Administrator Jim Wise had hoped that the city could recoup demolition costs through the sale of the land.

The good news in the delay is that the city is now off the hook for the demolition costs.

“We are working with the Rock Island Growth Organization, and will deed the property to them,” Mayor Everett Pannier said. “Then they can use funds from the Illinois Attorney General’s mortgage settlement fund to demolish it.”

The funds are part of $70 million Illinois received in the $25 billion national foreclosure settlement with five of the nation’s largest banks. The settlement money was intended to help homeowners and communities harmed by fraudulent mortgage-
