Propane supply emergency declared in Illinois

By Vinde Wells Editor A propane supply emergency was declared Monday in the state of Illinois.

According to a press release, Gov. Pat Quinn declared the emergency in the wake of distribution problems around the state.

Damp fall weather and recent cold temperatures are being blamed.

With demand for propane surging, its price is skyrocketing — and less of it is available for local customers.

In recent days, the pergallon price for propane has nearly doubled to more than $3.60 in Ogle County and the

surrounding area.

With cold temperatures continuing, experts expect the trend to continue.

Mike Faivre, president of Burkardt’s LP Gas, Polo, said last week that his company usually gets its propane from pipelines in Tampico and Rockford, but now companies are allocated only so much because of limited supplies.

During the winter, he said, his company typically gets three to five semi-truck loads a day. Now, its lucky to just get one. “We’re short-filling people, limiting the amount of gallons they get,� Faivre said, adding, “Our customers are being taken care of.�

How much they get, he

said, depends on their usage, but the rule of thumb is that the company gives enough to get a customer by for a month.

Because the company is giving limited amounts to customers, it’s making twice as many deliveries, he said.

“We’ve been working 14 to 15 hours a day for the last month, six days a week.

That’s what we’ve had to do to keep up with the cold weather,� Faivre said. “We’ve been in business for 32 years, and it’s never been like this.�

A Texas man trying to deliver a newly repaired single-engine airplane to Janesville, Wis., suffered only minor injuries when his 1984 Cessna crashed Jan. 25 in a farm field east of Forreston.

Pilot Fred H. Rose, 75, Spring Branch, Texas, was transported by Forreston ambulance to FHN Memorial Hospital, Freeport, for treatment of minor injuries. “He had a bump on the head,� said Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn.

Rose flew out of Texas around 6 a.m. that morning bound for Janesville, Harn said.

The plane, which is registered to Gelbach Aviation, Janesville, had a

new engine installed in Texas, the sheriff said.

Rose refueled in Joplin, Mo., around 10:45 a.m. and told authorities that the engine locked up south of Forreston. “He was gliding around looking for a place to land,�

Harn said. “He thought it was a mechanical failure.�

Rose was able to put the plane down in the snow in a field along Ill. 72 just west of Cherry Road, four miles east of Forreston. The crash occurred around 2:15 p.m.

Deputies on the scene said an undetermined fluid was leaking from the plane.

The Forreston Fire Department assisted at the scene.

Harn said Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the crash.

In This Week’s Edition...

Carroll Service Company, which serves numerous customers in western Ogle County, has been unable to get enough propane from its usual suppliers in Tampico and Rockford. “We’ve been unable to get an adequate supply locally,�

Woessner said. “We’ve had to resort to transporting it from Kansas and Louisiana.�

So far, the firm hasn’t had to short-fill customers. “We’ve been able to supply our customers,� he said.

Many Carroll Service Company customers won’t feel the cost-pinch immediately because they signed contracts which locked in prices months ago.

Pilot escapes a crash unharmed

All of Burkardt’s customers have their prices locked in because of prewinter agreements, so the price spike won’t affect them, Faivre said.

Ray Woessner, general manager at Carroll Service Company, Lanark, said Monday that the problem was accelerated last fall when more propane than usual was used to dry the corn crop, coupled with more being used for residential and commercial heating due to colder than normal temperatures in October, November, and December. “This didn’t start in January,� he said. “I anticipate we will continue to have these problems as long as the cold weather persists.�

By Vinde Wells Editor Sub zero temperatures coupled with strong winds resulted in the closure of all school districts in Ogle County on Monday.

Also closed were all Ogle County governmental offices and the Rock River Center in Oregon and Polo Senior Center.

The school closures continued into Tuesday when the mercury plummeted to -18 with wind chills estimated in the -40 range.

Sheriff Michael Harn estimated that 70 vehicles were left behind when their occupants got stuck on drifting roads in white-out conditions Sunday evening into Monday morning. “A lot of cars were abandoned on the road,�

Harn said. “They [drivers] couldn’t tell where they were and they were able to get a ride and left the car behind.

Stories are shared when classmates hold reunion

By Betty Obendorf Curator Polo Historical Society Three years ago when I was having my 60th Class of 1950 reunion, one of my classmates, Bert Beecher, arrived an hour early and we sat at the Polo History Museum and visited.

Later my daughter, Susan, said to me, “What did you talk about?� I guess she wondered what older people talk about when they have not been together for 40 years.

The last Bert and I had seen each other was in 1970 at our 20th class reunion.

We quickly caught up on our families and what Bert was doing in the way of volunteer work in his museum at Sun City, Arizona.

Then we started talking about healthy eating and at our ages, that is an important topic.

Susan was quite surprised when she learned our conversation incorporated our breakfast habits of eating oatmeal every morning and different things we put in our oatmeal to make it more palatable.

Who on earth talks about oatmeal? Those of us in the museum world know how food has played an important WIFR chief meterologist Mark Henderson poses with Tiger Cubs Gage Zeigler, Wyatt part in the history of our country.

Tiger Den visits WIFR The Tiger Den from Pack 337 visited the WIFR Channel 23 TV station in Rockford on Jan. 14 to complete an achievement toward their Tiger Cub Rank.

The objective was to learn how people communicate to others.

Mark Henderson, chief meterologist, was their tour guide during the visit.

Among the things the boys learned was how the local and national news is collected, the different technicians and reporters involved to organize the news information, and

they also watched the live evening broadcast to the general public.

The boys also were invited to be a part of the broadcast at the end of the show with the entire WIFR Channel 23 news team.

Samuel Johnson described oats in this way, “A grain which England feeds to horses but in Scotland supports the people.�

Scotland has a holiday called “Meal Monday� to permit students to return to their farms in order to gather in more oats for food.

Porridge made from oats became a staple in the Scottish diet and when the people came to America, it was only natural to bring along oats for cultivation.

George Washington is the one who tested the oats for survival during New England’s hard winters.

It is in Vermont where we see the largest consumption of oats since this is the place where the largest settlement of Scots remain.

Their breakfast oats were soaked the night before with water, salt, and maple syrup.

Then cooked in some fashion

the next morning. I may try that since I like maple syrup.

It is stories like this that I am going to give on food for our next meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 5 for the Polo Historical Society.

I really do not want to have anyone from out of town since our weather has been so unpredictable.

I have stacks of Ideal Magazines that belonged to Kenneth’s mother many years ago and one day I started going through them.

Do I throw them out, take them to Goodwill, or hang on to them. One of them is a Country Kitchen Cookbook, full of stories of our rich inheritance of good food.

These are recipes handed down from generation to generation to generation of time-proven family favorites.

Many of them have a Native American background and I found this to be true when I worked with food and children over in Carroll County several years ago.

I have a display at the museum that tells about food and beverages.

So plan on coming Wednesday night, Feb. 5 at 7 p.m. at the Polo History Museum for our regular meeting.

We will have refreshments after I tell you a little about early food in our nation. We will also bring you up to date on what is going on in the museum.

Now that the state emergency declaration has been made, regulations on propane truck drivers will be eased so they can travel more easily to other states to fill their tanks.

The state has eased limits on how long the drivers can

work within a 24-hour period, allowing them to drive farther to pick up the fuel.

According to the Energy Department, around 5.5 million U.S. households, mostly in the Midwest and South, use propane to heat their homes.

Frank and Nancy

Semmerling, Riverwoods, are in the process of buying Maxson’s Riverside Restaurant, 1469 N. Ill. 2.

60 years in business. The restaurant includes the Pride of Oregon Riverboat, a paddle-wheeler built in Palatka, Fla. in the late 1980s.

caused heavy drifting on nearly all area roads.

The wind coupled with below zero temperatures resulted in extreme wind chill readings Monday through Tuesday.

Other closings for Monday included Dixon city offices, Sauk Valley Community College, Northern Illinois University, and the Village of Progress in Oregon.

Kim Gouker, Byron, who also chairs the Liquor Commission, said the owners have not yet closed on the purchase of the restaurant from current owner Rich Wiesner, Oregon.

He said the purchase hinges on whether or not the Liquor Commission approves a liquor license for the new owners.

Members of the Liquor Commission are Gouker, and fellow county board members John Finfrock, Mt. Morris, and Rich Gronewold, Forreston.

Neither Wiesner nor the Semmerlings could not be reached for comment.

When he announced the closing in early October,

Wiesner, 66, said he was ready to retire.

The restaurant’s fourth owner, Wiesner has owned and operated it since midSeptember of 1992 when he purchased it from the heirs of Rose Jones.

He has owned it for the second longest period of time, after original owner John Maxson and his family who opened the restaurant in 1952 and operated it until they sold it to John and Peter Tsioles in 1978.

Jones purchased the restaurant from the Tsioles brothers in 1985.

This past Tuesday evening,

our PEO Chapter DW met at the home of Karen Scholl.

Karen hosted a full house in our first meeting after the holiday break.

Attending from Pine Creek were Beverly Coffman, Lisa Coffman, Judy Nettz, Maggie Henning, Jean Cunningham, and Vicki Hay. Kent and Judy Nettz have recently returned from a trip to Orlando, Florida.

Kent and Judy spent time golfing and enjoying the sunshine. Their family joined them to celebrate Christmas.

They were welcomed back with the harshness of a Northern Illinois winter.

Matt and Clint spent the day together on Monday since there was no school for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. They enjoyed

a typical teenage boy afternoon consisting of food, television, and video games.

Unfortunately, the latest school closings resulted in cancelled wrestling practice and meets.

The season is drawing to a close, at least for our boys.

They are already looking ahead to the next set of activities in the school year.

As the first month of the year comes to a close, it’s time to evaluate our New Year’s resolutions.

Besides the normal resolutions like eating healthy, exercising, saving more money, and getting organized, I try to come up with a few unique ideas.

One year, my resolution was to learn how to make a pot roast. It only took about six months to get around to

making a delicious pot roast that the whole family would eat.

This year, I wanted to start a blessings jar, where we could record our blessings throughout the year and read them again at the end of the year.

I also thought I would like to take a picture every day of the year, creating a collection of memories of our everyday adventures.

Every so often, Clint will ask me about all those New Year resolutions.

At the end of January, we still haven’t started the blessings jar and I only have about managed about three pictures since the beginning of the New Year.

It’s hard to start a new good habit. Sometimes we have to start over several

times before we get it right.

Being a Christian can be the same way. Sometimes it is difficult to make the right choices.

God grants us a second chance because we are forgiven.

God knows us like a parent knows his child. God knows we are far from perfect.

He gave His only Son, Jesus, for us.

Every day, we should work to do God’s will, but when we fail, His love and forgiveness saves us all over again.

I hope to see you next Sunday in our little church in the country. Join us so that we can praise His name together.

In the meantime, I’ll be finding jar to start saving our blessings.

Landrys celebrate 65th anniversary Pastor Gordon and Barbara Landry celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary on Tuesday, Jan. 28.

They were married on that date in 1949 by Pastor James Mattison at the East Oregon Chapel Church of God. Barbara is the daughter of Dan and Louise Kump, both now deceased.

The Landrys were blessed with eight children: Ricky Lee, now living in Long Beach, Calif.; Daniel Gordon, now in Greenwell Springs, La., near Baton Rouge; Jonathan David, living in a suburb of Houston, Texas; Joel Alexander, living at home with the Landrys;

Jared Scott, deceased at four months of age; Gretchen Gayle (Gigi) Wight, now in Pecatonica; Jennifer Louise Foster, now living near Rochelle; and Barry Keith, living just outside Baton Rouge, La. The Landrys also have 19 grandchildren scattered around the United States, and 19 great-grandchildren, with number 20 on the way next month.

While attending Oregon Bible College, Gordon pastored the East Oregon Chapel Church of God in the late ‘40s, where he met and fell in love with Barbara Kump, a member of the

church.

They married just before he graduated from the college.

Following his graduation from Oregon Bible College, he and his new bride accepted the pastorate at Ripley.

Toward the end of their first year there, they resolved to go into missionary work in South Africa, and resigned from the Ripley Church.

Prospects for the mission field did not work out and, since the Ripley Church had already hired a new pastor, the Landrys moved to Douglas, Ariz., to try and open a mission field across the border in Mexico.

Two or three years later,

they received an invitation to pastor the Blood River Church of God near Springfield, La., and did so for four years.

Then they moved to the Church of God pastorate in Baton Rouge, and stayed there for 17 years.

Following that pastorate, they moved back here to Oregon, where, in 1974, they accepted the pastorate at the Flagg Center Church of God near Rochelle, where they worked until his retirement at age 70.

A year or so later, he returned to the ministry in Flagg Center, and is now in the process of retiring again.

Crime rates have decreased in Oregon since 2011 Police chief presents his annual report

By Vinde Wells Editor Despite its first homicide in decades last year, Oregon has become a safer place to live and visit over the last three years, according to a report released Jan. 14.

In his annual report presented to the city council Jan. 14, Police Chief Darin DeHaan showed that crime has decreased in most categories since 2011.

“We maintain a commitment to keeping the crime rate in Oregon low and maintaining the high quality of living we have all come to expect in Oregon,” DeHaan said in the report’s cover letter.

The city’s 2013 homicide occurred Aug. 11 when Jonathan Williams, 18, died at OSF St. Anthony Medical Center, Rockford, after being injured in a fight that occurred in the wee hours of Aug. 10 at an underage drinking party at a home on Monroe Street.

Ogle County State’s Attorney Mike Rock has said no one will be charged in Williams’ death because the person who struck him did so in self-defense.

The annual report shows that the sharpest decrease in crime — 78.9 percent from 2011 to 2013 — was in the number of burglaries.

The report shows only four last year compared to 18 in 2012 and 19 in 2011.

Theft less than $300 also showed a significant decrease: 38 in 2013, down from 55 in 2012 and 53 in 2011.

Only 11 thefts more than

$300 occurred in 2013, with 17 in 2012 and 19 in 2011.

DeHaan said the reason for the decrease may be that citizens are being more careful to lock their cars and homes.

“I’m hoping burglaries and thefts are down because people are doing a better job securing their property,” he said.

Batteries and assaults showed the only increases over the three-year span.

Aggravated assaults doubled in that time, but the numbers are low. Only two occurred in 2013, with none in 2012 and one in 2011.

Aggravated battery also showed a sharp percentage increase, but again the numbers are low. Three occurred in 2013 with one in 2012 and two in 2011.

Domestic battery showed a significant increase with 23 last year, compared to 14 in

The theme is “New Life and Hope, a Celebration of Spring.�

Submissions will be accepted from local artists and high school students in grades 11 and 12. Students

must be from Oregon, Stillman Valley, or Byron High Schools.

Acrylic, water color, oil, sculpture, and jewelry will be accepted. No photography will be accepted at this time.

Refreshments will be available during the show.

Artists accept sole liability for their own art.

Also e-mail Hart with intention to submit work with measurements and other details by Thursday, Jan. 30.

Art will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.

Artists will need their own easel for large pieces.

Moving forward, I encourage each of us – from school officials, to community leaders, to business owners - to begin today by focusing on how we can work to bring the community back together instead of focusing on the differences among us exposed throughout the last nine months.

The energy and enthusiasm from both advocates for the increase of school funding and those against it has been powerful, but has also led to a divide within communities that does not need to exist.

As a school district moving forward we will work hard to communicate clearly and

effectively the state of the schools and use energy to unite our community.

We ask in turn that our community continue to be vocal, passionate, and work to be clearly informed so that we may chart the course to help guide our schools in the coming years together.

We look forward to the challenge of working with you to help find solutions that we can give our children the first class education they deserve.

Sincerely, Dr. Robert Willis Superintendent P.J. Caposey Asst. Superintendent & High School Principal

as established through school code.

An additional method of gaining revenue is to sell working cash bonds and then re-pay the bonds over a set period of time. “If our school board didn’t take this needed step, we would be having an entirely different conversation about what staff and which programs to begin cutting,�

Willis continued. “That isn’t a conversation anyone wants to have.�

With the sale of the working cash bonds, the district forecasts a consistent fund balance over the next five

years, keeping it financially solvent.

Without the sale of the working cash bonds, below are the projections for the fund balance.

In this scenario, the district will reach financial insolvency in three to four years. “Our community is receiving great value from our school district with a 95 percent graduation rate, the third highest state test scores of 20 high schools in the northern Illinois region and a 19 to 1 teacher-student ratio.

We need to keep providing quality education for our kids,� Smith said.

Public Voice Community made project successful

Dear Editor, The Project Christmas Star Committee would like to thank the people in our community for helping make the program a success again this year.

The program served 37 families giving 97 children gifts for the Christmas season.

We would also like to thank the First State Bank for providing the space for the program’s Christmas tree and the parents who participated and showed their appreciation

conformity with statute having 200 signatures over the requisite amount halting the immediate sale of Working Cash bonds.

This news will bring about mixed emotions for our community.

Starting today, however, we must begin to re-group as a community and the Meridian School District must serve as a leader of the process.

We have become a divided community that needs to remember what gives us our strength.

What makes Stillman Dear Editor, A petition has been Valley and the surrounding submitted to the Meridian areas a great place to live District Office in apparent and raise children is the fact in receiving the gifts.

We look forward to another successful year next Christmas season.

that through difficult times and during great times we can stand united and support each other.

Right now is a trying time for our community and a time where we need to stand united in the things we all want and believe.

Everyone wants an outstanding community.

Everyone wants a great school system. Everyone wants to have their voice heard.

We are united in these desires and we will work together to find a way to realize our mutual hopes of living in a great community with a first-class school system.

Guest Column Editor’s note: This article was submitted by Assistant Superintendent and Stillman Valley High School Principal PJ Caposey on behalf of Meridian School District officials.

During its December Board of Education meeting, the Meridian School Board voted to move forward with the process of selling $2 million dollars in working cash bonds with a three-year repayment cycle.

The strategy will infuse more than $665,000 into each of the next three years’ budgets.

The school board and its administration have a complex problem to solve.

Like many school districts in the region and around the state, the money coming into the district from state and local funds has significantly decreased over the past several years, leaving the district in a financial bind. “We have no control over what the state gives us or when they give it to us,� said Interim Superintendent Dr. Bob Willis. “We also can’t control property values, unfortunately. Both have had a huge impact on our loss of revenue in adequately funding

our schools, our staff and our programs�

With the loss of several hundred thousand dollars last year and again this year, plus the decision to cut between $300,000 and $500,000 this year alone in staff and programs, the board evaluated several revenue-generating options determining the sale of working cash bonds is the best short-term solution. “We want to be fiscally responsible with the least impact to taxpayers and the most positive impact on our students,� said school board president John Smith. “Essentially, the working

cash bonds will give our district a loan, bringing a three-year temporary increase in taxes in hopes that local property values will recover in three years and the State of Illinois will begin to fund school districts as state statute mandates, bringing our district and others like ours out of financial crisis.�

School districts can increase revenue by levying (a formal way of requesting or asking) for additional taxes.

Some aspects of a school budget can be taxed at a set amount by the state, others at a set amount by local voters, and yet others at a rate of need

Milledgeville pulls out win over the Marcos

The National Anthem was performed by the OHS choir.

Athletes were announced and they took a lap around the gym to wave to the crowd as they cheered on.

When the game started, play-by-play announcing was done by OHS students.

The format of the game was 8 minute quarters with a time-out every 4 minutes to change lineups.

Members of the team that were unable to be on the court assisted their teams by inbounding the ball.

During halftime, despite a technical malfunction that

required quick thinking to find a CD player, the OHS referee for the game and dance team performed a could not wait to get out on number for the audience. the court.

The stage was set in Milledgeville on Saturday, Jan. 25, and the Missiles and Polo Marcos didn’t disappoint.

To accommodate all the fans in this rivalry showdown, an additional set of bleachers was set up on the stage overlooking the court.

In the end, the Missiles took sole possession of second place in the NUIC East with a 55-48 victory.

A 3-pointer by junior Blake Kappes right off the bat got Missile fans into the game, as well as foreshadowed the night for his team’s outside shooting.

Defensively, the Missiles had their hands full, as they had to keep their eye on Polo’s 6-foot, 7-inch junior AJ Dollmeyer down low.

This required a change in defense, and it worked well for Milledgeville (14-2, 5-1).

“We actually had to play off of our normal style for him,” Missile coach Brian Rahn said. “We like to press and create turnovers, and things like that. But we knew that with him in the game, if we extended out, we would leave him one-on-one, or with an open look. We stuck with our zone, but we didn’t trap as much out of it, and tried some different things that way in order to make it hard for him to get easy looks. I thought the thing we did well that we don’t always do well is rebound.”

“They just did a really nice job of surrounding him,” Polo coach Matt Messer said, “and making sure he got his hands on the ball where he couldn’t really go anywhere with it. They were really aggressive defensively, got to him, and made sure that he was always surrounded.

He never really got any clean looks at the basket.”

Another 3-pointer by Kappes to beat the firstquarter buzzer gave Milledgeville a 15-8 lead after one. But like any good rivalry game, a comeback

was in the cards.

The leader of that surge for Polo (18-3, 5-2) was athletic senior guard Brian Cavanaugh. He started things off by knocking down a 3, and followed that up by taking a rebound coast-to-coast for a layup. He scored nine of his 13 points in the quarter.

“We have come to expect that from Brian,” Messer said.

“He’s a senior, and has done a nice job picking up slack when we’re struggling. He can go get it done by himself.

Today he did that, expecially in the second quarter.”

Unfortunately for the Marcos, the Missiles found an answer in junior Jordan Harris. He hit a pair of 3s in the quarter, helping to preserve his team’s lead.

Although Polo did cut into the Milledgeville lead, the Marcos still trailed 27-23 heading into the locker room at halftime.

Both teams had balanced attacks on offense in the third, as 10 different players scored in the stanza. However, it was the Missiles who extended their lead by two points, to 42-36, which set up a thrilling fourth quarter.

A basket from Dollmeyer, who had only six points going into the fourth, sparked up the Polo fans and bench.

However, his basket was quickly answered on the other end by junior Lucas Ebersole.

Ebersole’s basket was followed up by another Harris 3, which made the hometown Milledgeville crowd explode.

“We just worked their zone,” Harris said. “They play an extended 2-3, and we just had to pass the ball a lot, and shoot the open shots.

We happened to make a lot of them today. This is the most important game to us, and we have been waiting for this one all year. We have so much support in our community and all around us.

It feels good to give back.”

Another 3-pointer from senior Kameron DawTyne gave the Missile fans even more to cheer about, as it Turn to B2

Oregon bowlers place 10th during sectional play

By Andy Colbert Reporter

and Lake Park were the other state qualifiers.

Oregon finished 10th in the 16-team field with 5983 pins.

Of those six qualifiers, Sycamore was the only one Oregon saw in last year’s sectional. The other five are part what promises to continuing tough Rockfordarea sectionals for Oregon.

“When we walked into the sectionals at Dixon, we knew we’d beat half the teams,” Oregon coach Al Nordman said. “With the new sectional format, the only chance for us was to get hot. If not, we get smoked because there are no

tunas here at Rockford.”

Last year, Oregon had a 5558, to finish seventh among 15 teams. Dixon won that sectional with a score of 5935, less than what the Hawks rolled Saturday.

“It’s a high-scoring house,” said Nordman, in reference to Park Lanes in Loves Park, site of this year’s sectional.

However, the bottom line remains that the biggest difference between the last year and this year is level of competition.

Individually, AJ Nordman had a score of 1315 in the six-game series to lead the

Hawks. It was only 13 pins away from qualifying for state.

The son of coach Nordman had a 260 in the fourth game for his top mark. His other scores ranged from 191 to 235.

“He had a good afternoon, but a couple splits at wrong times hurt,” coach Nordman said. “He still had a chance going into the last three frames.”

Nordman left a 10 pin and then had a great ball, but the eight pin remained standing in those final rolls.

Ryan Bennett was next in

“They With a revamped sectional couldn’t crack the line up format, Oregon discovered until this year.”

Vernon Hills today,” Nordman said. “We couldn’t get any strikes going.”

Coming into the sectional, Nordman knew the only way his team would advance is if all bowlers were on top of their games.

Oregon’s long-time rival had two individuals qualify for the state meet, which will be held in O’Fallon, outside of the St. Louis area.

Ryan Dixon and Joel Spangler had 1363 and 1329 to make the cut and teammate Lucas Bonnette was only 19 pins away from joining them.

Ryan Dixon had an inordinate amount of attention focused on him in Oregon’s Ryan Bennett prepares to release his ball Jan. 25 during the Boylan Sectional Jan. 25. Photo by Chris the afternoon session. In the Johnson fourth game, he had a perfect

game intact for the first nine frames.

Unfortunately, he left the four pin up on that frame and settled for a 279 after picking up the spare and finishing with a strike.

“I threw the ball out in the dry area of the lane,” said Dixon on the missed strike.

Even with the disappointment of missing a perfect game, the 279 moved Dixon from what he described as “not even being on the first sheet of leaders” to fourth place overall.

“From then on, it was a matter of finishing and being consistent,” Dixon said. “I just needed to be around 200.”

The 2-time state qualifier as a team member made it three straight trips downstate with a 213 and 208 to close out a 1363 series.

Brandon Biondo of Algonquin Jacobs had a 1462 to claim the individual title with freshman phenom Jacob Nimtz of Harlem next at 1455. Dixon’s score was good for fifth place.

While Dixon had a comfortable margin going into the final game, Spangler had to sweat things out, not once, but twice.

He was in 10th place, but Turn to B2

Missiles ground Marcos From B1 came a mere 34 seconds after Harrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. This gave Milledgeville a 50-38 advantage with 5 minutes left to play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of our strengths,â&#x20AC;? Rahn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that sometimes we rely on it too much, but when we are hitting shots, it is nice.

One of the differences tonight was that the shots we were getting were inside-out and already squared to the basket, which meant our shots were in rhythm.â&#x20AC;?

The epitome of that insideout play for the Missiles was their last bucket, the

Dixon bowlers advance to IHSA state tournament From B1 only nine pins out of the seventh and final qualifying spot. After nine frames, his position was even more precarious with a 169 showing on his scorecard.

In dramatic fashion, Spangler rolled three straight strikes to punch his ticket downstate by two pins. His

1329 series edged Kyle Pattalio of Belvidere by one pin for sixth. Brady Powell of Barrington missed qualifying by one pin with a 1327. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was in trouble,â&#x20AC;? Spangler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those three strikes saved me. I was definitely on the bubble.â&#x20AC;?

However, the joy he felt soon turned to uncertainty,

as his name wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t called as one of the seven at-large qualifiers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I freaked out,â&#x20AC;? Spangler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ran over to my coach and told them they had it wrong.â&#x20AC;?

The oversight by the PA announcer was soon rectified and Spangler could finally rest easy.

With 90 seconds left, Harris got the ball on the left wing. He pumped to get his defender in the air, then drove into the high post, where he jump-stopped. As he went to take a jump shot, a cutting Ebersole flashed right under the hoop behind the Polo defense.

Harris snapped a pass into him, where Ebersole went with his forward momentum and finished a reverse layup.

Polo tacked on an additional pair of buckets, but it was too late, as the Harris-Ebersole connection had secured the 55-48 victory.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge win,â&#x20AC;? Rahn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a great rivalry, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those rivalries where the kids respect each other. Both teams are going to play hard, and after the game, you understand that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just an opponent.â&#x20AC;?

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yell at the referee because the call did not go our way. Or, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice my displeasure at the coach because of a misguided notion that I know better than him/her.

How about envy so pervasive that we secretly wish others will fail, be it the opposing team or perhaps athletes on your kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team that are having more success than your kid.

Anger can reach such a boiling point that fights can break out between fans.

Spirit of competition keeps us hostage and snuffs out contentment. Death of contentment is comparison.

Either Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m better or worse than your team or athlete.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what sports can do to us, but sports arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the problem. The problem is within us. We allow these defects of character creep in and manifest themselves in

our bleacher behavior.

What about fans that can go to a sporting event and cheer for the home team and also wish good things for the opposition? Could it be they enjoy sports for the athletic aspect of it and appreciate good play by both sides, not because of a personal attachment?

Sports Column Passion for sports teams out of control

By Andy Colbert Reporter It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make any difference if it is grade school, high school, college or the pros. Sports have an effect on us and bonding is

one result of that.

As humans, there is a need to belong and it is natural to get together in groups. By following a sports team, we become part of that group and share a unified passion.

Besides assembling together in the bleachers and cheering the team on, we may also join in activities like tailgating, pep rallies, road trips, team banquets, etc.

We even dress to the occasion, whether it is

wearing the school colors on game day or that expensive pro jersey.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the problem with all that, though â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that passion can get out of hand.

We become so engrossed with the sport or team we have bonded with that we begin to base our identity on it. The more the team wins, the better our psyche feels.

If the team is a loser, our fragile self-esteem takes a hit.

is that the more success our team has, the more it affects us. An example is in postseason play when other teams are knocked out and our team is one of the few left standing.

There is a realization that more people are paying attention to the team and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;prideâ&#x20AC;? factor goes kicks into a higher gear. A win or loss in the sectional or state has so much more significance that it did doing the regular season because oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal identification with the team has been increased.

Though the fan is not a member of the team, there can become a perverted investment in it, which can be compounded if one has a child on said team.

Sure, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural to want the best things for your kid and have an emotional attachment your team, but it is so easy for those values become distorted.

The manifestation of that can be found on gyms and

IDNR is accepting applications for PARC grants The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is accepting applications for the state’s Park and Recreational Facility Construction (PARC) Grant Program.

The program will provide grants to eligible local governments for acquisition, development, construction, rehabilitation or other capital improvements to

park and recreation facilities in Illinois.

For the current fiscal year (FY) 2014, a total of $25 million in grants is available through funding provided by the Illinois Jobs Now! capital program, an initiative of Governor Pat Quinn.

The maximum grant award for qualifying projects for FY14 is $2.5 million.

The IDNR will accept

applications from qualifying units of local government through March 10.

IDNR Director Marc Miller.

and outdoor recreation facilities, reconstruction, improvements and expansion to existing facilities, and new construction.

Projects involving land acquisition for construction of new or expansion of existing indoor and outdoor recreation facilities, and for open space and conservation purposes, are also eligible.

Illinois previously invested $50 million in PARC grants for park districts and other local government projects in 2011, the first year of the program.

The PARC program will reimburse grant recipients up to 75 percent of approved project costs (up to 90 percent reimbursement will be available to local

governments defined as disadvantaged).

The PARC grant program does not replace the annual Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development grant program (OSLAD). PARC projects must be “bondable” according to state guidelines, while OSLAD projects do not.
