Polo farmer loses hundreds of piglets to virus

By Vinde Wells Editor A fast-moving virus that attacks pigs dealt a Polo farmer significant losses earlier this year.

Brian Duncan, who raises hogs northwest of Polo, estimates he lost 1,000 to 1,200 baby pigs in March after they contracted porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). “We went about a month without weaning any little pigs,� he said. “Usually we wean about 300 a week.�

While any hog can catch the virus, it’s especially deadly for very young piglets. “It kills all of them under 14 days old,� Duncan said. “It’s a very aggressive virus.

Once it hits, it moves very quickly.�

Older pigs fare better if

they contract the virus. “When it hits anything over 14 days old, it’s more like a mild flu,� he said. “It’s absolutely devastating to a little pig.�

The sows on the farm also contracted the virus. They were “off feed� for a couple of days, Duncan said, and then returned to normal.

It takes a little time to ride out the effects of the virus, he said, but currently even his youngest pigs are thriving. “It takes some time for the sows to build up immunity to pass on to the pigs,� Duncan said. “We know it’s still present on the farm, but the sows have enough immunity now to protect the pigs.�

He is, however, taking extra precautions to keep PEDV at bay. “We do a lot of cleaning anyway, but now we’re doing

extra steam-cleaning and disinfecting,� he said.

Across the county, Kim Huntley, Chana, who finishes 27,000 hogs annually for market is also taking precautions against PEDV. His hogs have not contracted the virus and are past the age when it’s the most dangerous. “I don’t have baby pigs.

They come in here at 50 pounds. They aren’t as susceptible. They can get it but they don’t die from it,� he said.

None the less, Huntley is being careful. Clothing and boots are removed before leaving either of the two sites where he raises pigs. “Our clothes and boots are site specific,� he said. “They don’t go from one place to the other. And we wear plastic gloves.�

The tires on trucks delivering feed are sprayed with disinfectant, and truck drivers wear plastic, disposable boots. “It is a serious deal, no question about it,� Huntley said.

PEDV is a coronavirus that infects the cells that line the small intestine of a pig, causing severe diarrhea and dehydration.

The virus usually kills young piglets within five days of contracting it.

PEDV was first discovered in Europe, but soon traveled to Asian countries.

It was discovered in the U.S. in the spring of 2013 and in Canada earlier this year.

Duncan said he has not determined how it got to his operation.

The virus is not a danger to humans. It is not passed

from pigs to humans or other animals.

The meat of affected hogs is safe to eat. “It poses no danger whatsoever to humans,�

Duncan said.

In fact, the only effect is likely a hike in pork prices.

Duncan said the recent episode reminded him of a similar virus that affected hogs when he was a youngster. “It’s similar to TGE (transmissible gastroenteritis). They’re both coronaviruses. Our pigs got TGE when I was a kid,� he said. “But this is like TGE on steroids.�

No vaccines are currently available to combat PEDV, he said, although animal pharmaceutical companies are working on developing one.

Baby pigs are once again thriving on Brian Duncan’s hog operation near Polo.

Earlier this spring, Duncan lost more than 1,000 piglets to porcine epidemic diarrhea virus.

“Most vaccines don’t work very well on viruses,�

Duncan said.

ChromeBooks help students

By Chris Johnson Reporter Assigning group projects at one time required a trip to the library or computer lab, but students in Polo can now work on projects in the classroom.

Students in William Anderson’s agriculture class Monday morning were working on group projects on one of two ChromeBook laptop computer carts.

Each cart has 25 computers and teachers can schedule the cart to be in their classroom instead of having to reserve the computer lab. “We can work at our own pace,� said student Colton Griffen. “It helps with our projects being able to research in the classroom.�

Anderson said the students were using the ChromeBooks for a wildlife study presentation. “These computers allow multiple students to work together on the same project,� he said. “Everything is saved in the cloud.�

The cloud is a computer term for files stored on a server not the individual computer. Anyone can access the files stored on the cloud server with a password.

In the past some students may have done the entire project, but with the ChromeBooks Anderson can see which student is working on each part of the project. “The presentations are shared and I can see what they are working on instantly,� Anderson said. “These ChromeBooks allow for guided learning and the students can incorporate images and videos into the presentations.�

So far the computers have allowed for new opportunities for learning. “Next year I plan on

incorporating the computers even more,� said Anderson.

The computers were purchased through the Polo Community School Foundation.

This group helps to raise money to provide opportunities to the students in the district. “The ChromeBooks started as a way to honor Sarah Kamp,� said principal Andy Faivre.

Kamp was a teacher at the Polo High School who passed away last year as a result of a traffic crash.

To ensure the ChromeBooks were compatible with the school network, Faivre said upgrades were made. “The computers were ordered in January and were ready for the classroom in March,� he said.

Faivre said every student has an account and access to shared files. “Two students can work together on projects using these ChromeBooks,� said Faivre. “We are helping prepare our students for college.�

Currently the two carts of 25 computers are being used every day and Faivre would like to see more mobile labs in the future. “The foundation has been supportive in our schools,� he said. “VIPS also helped with this project.

The cost of the computers and carts was a little more than $16,000, said Faivre.

In the science lab, teacher Ryan Deets knows how valuable computers can be to his lesson plans. “The Chromebooks are a great resource for every department and it is awesome to have them,� he said. “Our students are able to do research in the classroom

Lifeguards will receive a raise

By Vinde Wells Editor Lifeguards at the Polo City Pool got a raise May 5 despite the objections of one alderman.

The city council approved, by a vote of 5 to 1, a 25-cent pay hike, from $8.25 to $8.50 per hour, for the approximately 15 teens who serve as lifeguards over the summer.

Alderman Louise Hall cast the lone dissenting vote. “I don’t think we need to raise teenagers’ rate above minimum wage,� she said. “We just gave everyone else a

teenagers to teach kids how to swim,� said Polo resident Ted Boddiger. “I think they’re worth every penny you give them.�

Kurt Cavanaugh, whose son works as a lifeguard at the pool, said it costs each teen $100 to $200 of his or her own money to become certified as a lifeguard and swim lesson instructor.

In a related matter, the council approved a 50-cent increase in swimming pool admission for anyone who lives outside the Polo School District.

The new fees will be $2 for

children, $2.50 for high school students, and $3 for adults.

The admission for children 2 years old and younger will remain at 50 cents, and senior citizens will remain at $1.50.

In other business, the council agreed by consensus to a 1.5 percent increase in garbage collection rates. The hike will be voted on at an upcoming meeting.

Mayor Doug Knapp said the increase came from negotiations meetings with officials from Moring Disposal Inc., Forreston. “Originally Moring wanted five percent,� he said.

The city council approved an increase for other city employees in April, effective May 1.

Alderman Randy Schoon pointed out that the total amount for raising the lifeguards’ pay would amount to only a few hundred dollars.

Alderman Matt Mekeel agreed, saying it would be less than $500.

Members of the audience also voiced their opinions on the pay hike. “I think that’s an awesome responsibility for those

Gardening weather has arrived

By Betty Obendorf Curator Polo Historical Society Finally our cold rainy weather has come to an end and I finally spent my Mother’s Day working in a flower bed.

The storms however, have started and during the rain showers, I cleaned the garage. The salt deposits and grime from winter needed extra work and Kenneth scraped those off.

As one looks at the outdoor growth, we can see where winter took its toll. Many shrubs will have to be cut back severely and hope they come out of the damage.

We have not looked at the shrubs down at the Henry School to see how they stood the hard winter. We are just glad it is finished and spring

is finally here.

I hope someday to get back on schedule in the museum since I have thank you notes to write.

Bob McGuire sent a wonderful memorial gift to the Polo Historical Society in memory of Helen Ports. Also we have received a lovely dictionary stand from the Polo Library.

Remember how many homes and schools had those in various places and now they are a thing of the past. I still use my dictionary beside me but I have occasionally used the Internet. As we have moved my sister Ruby Jean, she has a beautiful set of Britannica Encyclopedias and a globe in a lovely floor stand.

No one in the family have any desire for something like that now. A thing of the past.

What does one do with them now?

I still use encyclopedias.

I have to look things up and I guess I will get rid of the way old ones and put Ruby’s set here. It has a lovely little cabinet.

Later my kids can throw them out along with all the stuff I have collected from various auctions. Maybe I need to start pitching now.

Tuesday was moving day for Ruby and we had just a few tough moments. As the furniture was placed in her new home she soon realized how nice it all looked.

We made her bed together and put a quilt made by my grandmother on the top. That gave us a chance to talk about the quilts our grandmother made for us as we were born.

They have our names on them and dates.

Get the speed you need.

See why people across America love Frontier.

I used mine all through the years and loved it to pieces as I covered up with it. It is now ratty and ragged but I cannot throw it away.

It still has a place in my home. At Christmas the family will have a great time looking over all the quilts made by grandmother’s loving hands.

Young women were taught to sew and make bedding before they were married.

If they had not mastered the skill then they lived with their parents until they could sufficiently handle a house and family. Those sewing skills were important many years ago when clothing had to be made and household items.

I am not certain how the young women handled the cooking but I am certain that was a large item also if you were a young bride.

My job was to make the gravy and Ruby mashed the potatoes. I really learned how to cook watching Kenneth’s mother as she prepared meals.

It was with a pinch of that and a pinch of this.

You cooked by the taste of something.

How many of you remember cooking with your mother and other family members?

There were many tricks to the trade that mom had up her sleeve and all those little hints were written on her recipes. Macaroni and cheese has been handed down from my mother to me and on to other family members. My mother always said the hint was to butter the bowl.

I still have the recipe written in her handwriting.

With the nice summer weather on the way the Polo Police Department would like to remind citizens about some of the basic dog ordinances in the city.

Each May 1, city dog tags are due. Citizens may have up to three dogs total per household.

Each dog must be registered with the city, with a fee of $10 per dog.

This is in addition to the county dog ordinances in which dogs must be vaccinated and registered with the county.

The dog tags must be displayed on each dog at all times.

Polo does have a leash ordinance. Whenever a dog owner leaves his premises his dog or dogs must be securely leashed.

Polo also has a noise ordinance regarding barking dogs. Dogs may not disturb the peace by loud noise at any time day or night.

Any owner or person having custody of any dog shall not permit the dog to defecate on any school ground, public street, alley, sidewalk, tree bank, park or any other public grounds or private property within the city, other than the premises of the owner or person having custody of the dog or other animal, unless the defecation is removed immediately.

It shall be unlawful for any dog to run at large in the city at any time.

Dogs which are on any street, alley, sidewalk, or any other public place or property of another, other than the owner of the dog, unless under control of the owner shall be deemed to be running at large, and are declared a nuisance.

The owner of any dog running at large may be cited under city ordinance for the violation.

Unidentified dogs may be impounded until the owner claims the dog.

The owner will be responsible for all fines and fees for the impoundment.

If someone’s dog bites a person the owner of the dog shall immediately notify the health officer and police department, who shall order the dog to be held on the owner’s premises, or shall have the dog impounded for a period of 10-14 days.

No person shall own, possess, harbor, keep or maintain a vicious animal. A vicious animal is any animal that, when unprovoked, inflicts bites, injures, kills, damages, or attacks a human being or domestic animal on either public or private property.

If anyone has any questions regarding dog ordinances, call the Polo City Hall at 815946-3514 or the Polo Police Department at 815-946-3412.

Yard waste rules The City of Polo is having problems with residents blowing their yard waste into the city streets and would like to remind the citizens of the following Polo City Ordinance: 50.05 Deposit on Streets It shall be unlawful for any person to deposit or permit to fall from any vehicle any solid waste or landscape waste on any public place or property, street or alley in the city. This section shall

not be construed to prohibit placing of solid waste and recyclable materials in containers complying with the provisions of this chapter preparatory to having such material collected.

Penalty: any person, firm or corporation violating this shall be fined not less that $50 for each offense and a separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day during or on which a violation occurs or continues.

We had a wonderful meal, courtesy of Ben on the grill.

It was a great end to lovely day.

I love being a mom. What an incredible blessing. I loved it when our children were babies. I loved watching them grow and teaching them new things.

I love spending time with them now and talking about their future plans.

All of that is wonderful and yet being a mom is the hardest job I can ever imagine doing. I feel every heartbreak that my kids feel.

There are times I can’t fix whatever is wrong.

Sometimes I have to sit back

and let them make mistakes because I know that’s how they will learn.

No matter what happens I love them. I love them more than I thought I could ever love anyone.

I never understood how my mom could love me so much and now I do. That kind of love can only come from God. God loved us so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die for our sins. We can thank God for loving us that much. We thank Him for the love that is shared between parent and child.

I hope to see you next week in our little church in Pine Creek. Until we meet again, my prayer for you is to know that God loves you.

Spring fly-in breakfast served at Ogle Airport The local chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA #682) is sponsoring a pancake breakfast with all the trimmings at the Ogle County Airport on Sunday, May 18 from 7 a.m. to noon.

The airport is located between Oregon and Mt. Morris on Ill. 64.

The entire family can enjoy Eickmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whole hog sausage, scrambled eggs, and small mountains of pancakes with all the fixings.

Volunteers including local pilots, student pilots, members of the Rock River Flyers flying club, the Ogle County Pilots, EAA members, Blackhawks Crossing 4-H Club and other volunteers who contribute their time and effort to make the big Sunday breakfast a success.

The EAA #682 uses the Ogle County airport as its

base in part because of the well-maintained runway and grounds of the airport.

Glenn Hake, Byron, the president of the chapter, said this airport is maintained like a park and he enjoys flying off of the grass runway.

The airport was recognized by the Illinois Department of Transportation as the General Aviation Airport of the year in 2007.

The award was in recognition of continued efforts in maintenance excellence and contributions to the enhancement of aviation education and community development.

Doug Schiller, Oregon, the airport manager, said the big advantage at the airport is the lack of congestion and low costs.

Tie downs and hangar leases are available.

Nick Lung, Leaf River, one of the founding members, said

that there has been increased activity and improvements at the airport in the last few years.

Flight instruction, biennial reviews, tail-wheel check out is available from instructors using the airport.

The airport started out more than 30 years ago and the airport remains a public use airport without taxpayer support. More information is available at www. oglecountyairport.com A World War II style Hangar Dance is tentatively scheduled for Aug. 16 and the annual Hog Roast is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 12.

Committee will recommend hiring forensic audit firm

By Vinde Wells Editor The Ogle County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tow Fund is one step closer to being completely scrutinized.

The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Executive Committee voted Tuesday to approve hiring Sikich LLP, Naperville, to do a forensic audit of the controversial Tow Fund from 2012 up to the present.

The full county board is expected to vote on the measure at its May 20 meeting.

Board chairman Kim Gouker, Byron, said the fee for the initial investigation is $7,500. If fraud is uncovered during the audit, the costs will increase.

The initial investigation will document procedures used in the Tow Fund since it was implemented in 2011 and identify any abuses.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I understand this, they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be looking at anything in particular. They will be looking at everything,â&#x20AC;?

Gouker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things we get out of this study is a reorganization of this fund.â&#x20AC;?

Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn came under fire in the last several months over expenditures from the Tow Fund, which included purchasing a new vehicle, flowers for Secretaries Day, a tent at the county fair, and $4,000 for the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page to be managed.

In what seems to be a reversal of his previous stance, Gouker called for the forensic audit at last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s county board meeting.

Board member Richard Petrizzo, Davis Junction, made a motion for a forensic audit of the Tow Fund as well as the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit card

expenditures at the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jan. 21 meeting.

However, Gouker said the matter could not be voted on then because it was not on the agenda.

Petrizzoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subsequent efforts to have the matter placed on the agenda were unsuccessful.

In February, the board diminished the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s control over the Tow Fund by limiting how it could be spent and requiring the approval of expenditures by the county committee that oversees the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget.

Harn was defeated in the March 18 primary election in his bid for the Republican Party nomination for sheriff

by Brian VanVickle, a Rochelle police officer.

At its April 15 meeting, the county board approved a resolution establishing the Tow Fund.

Gouker said that although the board approved implementing administrative tow fees in 2011, the ordinance governing that did not actually establish the Tow Fund.

The new resolution mandated that Tow Fund deposits are limited to only administrative fees collected when a vehicle is towed, impounded, or seized during a criminal investigation.

It further requires that the Tow Fee will be handled by the Ogle County Treasurerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, rather than the sheriff, as in the past.

Treasurer John Coffman said the Tow Fund was turned over to his office April 15 when received a check for $51,932.07 from the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department.

Gouker said Tuesday that the forensic audit will verify that the amount of the check was correct.

In a related issue, Gouker said the Executive Committee will study removing some departments from the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oversight. He said the changes will be made in the next few months.

The changes come on the heels of a recommendation from the Ogle County League of Women Voters that the sheriff should have fewer duties.

League member Diane McNeilly, Rochelle, told the county board in April that a recent study of several neighboring counties showed that the Ogle County Sheriff is responsible for more departments, employees, and money than his counterparts.

Besides overseeing the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Corrections Departments, Harn is also in charge of the Ogle County Emergency Management Agency (OCEMA), the

countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Buildings & Grounds, Information Technology, telecommunications, and security for the courts as well as all county properties.

Gouker said some departments â&#x20AC;&#x201D; OCEMA, Buildings & Grounds, Information Technology, and Building Security â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will be realigned so that the sheriff is no longer in charge of them.

Instead the heads of those areas will report to a county committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has nothing to do with the job the current sheriff is doing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too many duties,â&#x20AC;? Gouker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has morphed over the last two decades when a lot of extra duties were given to the sheriff. Instead, we want these entities to report to the board through a committee rather than through an elected official who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that statutory authority.â&#x20AC;?

Foreclosure filed on Oregon hotel

By Vinde Wells Editor

An area bank has filed foreclosure proceedings against a well-known Oregon hotel.

Attorneys for mortgageholder Stillman Banccorp filed a lawsuit in Ogle County Court April 29 against the Paddle Wheel Inn, 1457 N. Ill. 2, just north of Oregon.

The 100-plus room hotel is located on the banks of the Rock River next to Maxsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Riverside Restaurant, just east of the bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oregon branch.

The restaurant is not connected to the hotel and reopened in March under new ownership.

Court records show that the hotel is owned by Lila V. Kaufman, James D. Kaufman, Carol K. Bush, and Martin A. Bush.

According to court documents, the hotel owners failed to made their mortgage payment last September and

ever since.

The bank is owed $776,952 on the 10-year mortgage which was taken out in September of 2008. Monthly payments were $6,744.

Attorneys for the bank are asking that the court make a judgment to foreclose on the mortgage and to either grant the bank possession of the hotel or appoint a receiver.

The lawsuit also asks that the property is sold at a public auction with open bids.

The bank is represented

by Stephen G. Balsley of the Rockford law firm of Barrick, Switzer, Long, Balsley, & Van Evera.

Ogle County property records show that the real estate taxes on the hotel are up-to-date.

The hotel closed its doors late last fall and did not reopen this spring.

A court date on the matter is set for June 13.

The Paddle Wheel Inn was built in the mid-1990s.

Public Voice Free activities have been wonderful

Dear Editor, I would like to thank the Mt. Morris Public Library and the Rock River Center for the free activities available to all of us, sort of whatever â&#x20AC;&#x153;trips your trigger.â&#x20AC;?

Once a month, the Mt. Morris library offers a timely presentation.

This month two presentations were available: one very fine program on autism, since this is Autism Awareness month; the other by the author Abbie Reese on May 18 who wrote

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dedicated to God, An Oral History of Cloistered Nuns.â&#x20AC;?

The Rock River Center in Oregon has many fine free regular programs such as carving, cards, bingo, making quilts, making cards, monthly birthday celebrations the second Tuesday, pot lucks with singing led by Margo Ackland prior to lunch, Old News, Book Club, Stump Jumpers, etc., etc.

The various computer classes are offered free and available.

One very fine program, Viking Ship on a stormy Sunday evening had a good turnout and was excellent; the ship sailed from Norway to Chicago for the 1893 Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Columbian Expedition via

the ocean, Great Lakes, etc.

The May 3 Spelling Bee was fun and the next round will be at Rock River Center sometime in June.

It is a very fine facility, the employees and volunteers are friendly and capable with the space needed being available.

Linda Duffy, activities director, also plans trips. One such trip was on April 28 deadline; sign up for the Patty Waszak and White Fence Farm, which sounds great.

On April 24, all of us enjoyed 10 arm-chair trips with American Classic 2014 Tour Preview.

Also on Friday, May 9 from 9 to 11 a.m. is Ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Spa Day; pre-registration required for a morning of fun

and relaxation, etc.

So donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t isolate yourselves; come on out for whatever you most enjoy.

The library and RRC have ample parking, everyone is friendly, etc.

Everyone has a good time and there is always coffee, etc.

Cavanaughs push each other to improve daily

By Brian Weidman Sauk Valley Media Prior to the Ogle County track meet on Tuesday in Rochelle, members of the Polo-Forreston boys track team were unloading gear and limbering up outside the football stadium.

A team member then chimed in, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be the better Cavanaugh brother in the high jump today? Is little bro going to show up big bro.â&#x20AC;?

For the record â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yes. Brad Cavanaugh, a sophomore at Polo, won the event. He cleared 5 feet, 11 inches, the same height as his older brother Brian, but Brad won the event on fewer misses.

It was the latest in a series of competitions in which the Cavanaughs try to push each other to new heights.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look for any kind of bragging rights, however, for the winner.

When Brad had a seasonbest of 6-1 as a freshman, one inch higher than his brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best, nary a taunting peep was uttered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to stay humble,â&#x20AC;?

Brad said.

This season, the Cavanaughs have more often than not been the class of high jump competitions they enter. They both

have season bests of 6-2, achieved multiple times.

Whoever wins on a given day, well, good for him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for the team, really,â&#x20AC;?

Brian said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care who wins it. We get points for the team, and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really matter who wins.â&#x20AC;?

Something that does matter to the Cavanaughs is the Polo school high jump record. It is 6-4, achieved

by Mark Scholl in 1981.

Helping the brothers in their quest to get their names in the record book is none other than Scholl himself.

Scholl and the Cavanaughsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; father, Kurt, have been best friends since second grade. When the Cavanaugh brothers showed an interest in the high jump, Scholl became their volunteer coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known them both since they were born, saw them grow up,â&#x20AC;? Scholl said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make me any prouder to have them break my record. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been there long enough, and if I can help them out, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be happy to do it.â&#x20AC;?

Scholl works with the brothers on getting their approaches right, being consistent with steps, getting good acceleration with the jump and achieving a proper arc over the bar. It

doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always work out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I kind of chop a lot, and I do jump into the bar too, which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help my case,â&#x20AC;? Brad said.

When Brian cleared 6-2 at the Rock Falls Invitational on April 25 and was the last jumper standing, he had the bar moved up to 6-4 1/4 in an attempt to break Schollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get too close, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always in the back of my mind,â&#x20AC;? Brian said of those three failed attempts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want it, and so does Brad.â&#x20AC;?

The high jump isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only event in which the Cavanaughs excel. Brian was a state qualifier in the triple jump a year ago, with a personal best of 42-6. His best so far this season is 412, which is actually ahead of where he was at this point a year ago.

The Cavanaugh brothers team with two Forreston athletes, Max Barkalow and Nathan Stukenberg, in the 400 relay. They have a season-best of 45.07.

Brooks Grobe, who is rounding into shape after battling a hip injury, subs for Brian in the 800 relay, and that group has a top time of 1:34.55.

For Polo coach Ryan Deets, working with brothers is nothing new.

There are eight sets on this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team: the Cavanaughs, Ethan and Jesse Ditzler; Miguel and Juan Dominguez; Joe and Preston Stapleton; Matt and Clinton Merlak; Kevin and Matthew Cheeseman; Brooks and Brody Grobe; and Ethan and Jacob Cain.

Deets was an assistant coach when the Geary twins, Michael and Shane, were tearing up the track before graduating in 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You always find that brothers push each other harder,â&#x20AC;? Deets said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and they get the best out of each other by doing that.â&#x20AC;?

Sports Column Revisiting a column that drew comments

By Andy Colbert Reporter

After being out of town last week, it was a nice to come back and hear about the Oregon girls track team nearly winning the Big Northern conference meet.

Burlington Central won its 10th title in 11 years, but the Lady Hawks came within 91-85 of them.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge accomplishment for such a smallish squad and a case of the Oregon girls performing when it mattered the most.

Foremost was the 14.98 in the 100 hurdles by Cydney Long, which ranks as the second best time in 1A this year.

Long and thrower Shannon Cullen have provided the

nucleus and will both will contend for individual state titles.

If there were a year for Oregon to make a push for a state trophy (and the first in any girls sport) at the IHSA meet, this would have been it. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen though.

There is enough talent in the school to make a run, but some of those girls are not out for track. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame, but I respect any athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right not to be out for a particular sport, be it track or anything.

This Friday, the team has a chance to knock Byron off from its sectional perch.

Like Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BNC domination, Byron will be going for a 10th title in 11 years.

Byron edged Oregon to win the Ogle county meet and Oregon beat the Lady Tigers at the Oregon Invite.

It will be an interesting watching the action unfold

to see if the Lady Hawks can put an exclamation point on their season by winning the sectional. Oregon did lose Hailey Long a couple weeks ago to an injury and maybe if she was in the line-up, they could have scraped up enough points to win the BNC. But, with the way BNC champs like jumper Sarah Lauer and Kelsey Pudlas, who improved nearly two feet in the pole vault as a late, have provided a supporting cast, anything is possible. *** In his part time, Oregon assistant football coach Steve has a company called American Iron, which provides strength-training equipment for sports teams.

At a collegiate national strength and conditioning conference in Salt Lake last week, I met up with him after transporting his gear out and helped set up and tear down his booth at the show.

A one-man operation, the 1992 Hawk graduate even fabricates the product himself. After lugging some of it around, I can tell you itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

made from quality material by its sheer weight.

What stood out most about the experience was seeing how much difference the collegiate sporting world is today, versus 20-30 years ago.

It is like a mutant virus out of control. There is a spending frenzy and arms race between college sport programs, with football leading the parade, which appears to be unabated.

Besides the show, we also went on a tour of the University of Utah athletic facilities and like other major campuses across the country; so much is new and shiny, and very expensive.

It has too be, or else the recruits will go elsewhere.

And, if the recruits donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come, the coach gets fired, as the stakes keep getting higher and higher and money dictates everything.

I know it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cheap for Steve to go all the way out in Utah to demonstrate his equipment, but with exorbitant college athletic budgets, it can be a lucrative market to tap into.

But, what is taking place in intercollegiate athletics sure seems contrary to what higher education is about. *** In regard to the column two weeks ago on underage drinking, a good friend called and said I left the wrong message by referring to alcohol as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;solutionâ&#x20AC;?.

To him, it sounded like I was giving validation for young people to drink.

The fact of the matter, though, is that alcohol can be a solution to get through life for some (not all) people.

The real problem for them is trying to live life when the drinking is stopped.

A personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health, finances, legal problems, job/school standing, etc, will improve if drinking is stopped. However, those are outside circumstances and do not carry the same weight as how we feel on the inside.

What if feelings of irritability, low self-esteem, resentment, selfishness, discontentment, remorse, social anxiety, restlessness, insecurity, etc, continue to rule our lives?

In reality, that stuff becomes more pronounced without alcohol and therein lay the real problem.

That is, why would people continue to drink if they

Andy Colbert know it will create (external) problems in their lives?

Because it has become the solution to what ails them on the inside and how they feel on the inside is of far greater importance than any consequences caused by alcohol. This is especially true for underage drinkers who risk breaking the law to do it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the power that alcohol can have.

However, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the â&#x20AC;&#x153;realâ&#x20AC;? solution, but rather a perceived solution. Perhaps, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the confusion comes from and I apologize for any misunderstanding on word usage.

There is only one solution to everything in life and from it stems a spiritual basis. The answer is always in spirituality.

June hearing set for woman charged with theft, fraud Pre-trial conf. is set for June 19 in Lee County

By Vinde Wells Editor The trial of a former Oregon woman charged with theft and financial fraud has been rescheduled for the second time.

A jury trial for Audrey (Stanley) Smith, 32, Dixon, was originally set to begin Jan.13, but Lee County Judge Ron Jacobson moved it to begin March 10 at a mid-December hearing.

But at a hearing in late February, that trial date was stricken, and according to

court records no new one has been set.

Smith is scheduled for a pre-trial conference on June 19.

A Lee County Grand Jury indicted Smith March 6, 2013 on charges of theft, financial fraud, computer fraud, financial exploitation of an elderly person, and wire fraud.

The case was investigated by the Illinois State Police.

The state attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office is handling the prosecution.

Smith, who has pleaded not guilty, is being represented in court by Sterling attorney James Fagerman.

Court records say Smith made a series of withdrawals from an elderly womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

bank accounts and took out loans on the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property.

The charges involve accounts at Amcore and Midland States Banks, authorities said.

Smith was manager of the Oregon branch of Rockfordbased Amcore Bank, which was sold to Effingham-based Midland States Bank in

January 2011.

Court records donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t indicate whether the alleged crimes are related to Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role as a bank employee.

The bill of indictment accuses Smith of making withdrawals between Aug. 2, 2006 and April 15, 2010, from accounts held at Amcore and Midland States in the name of the victim, a

Dixon resident.

The documents say Smith also took out a mortgage loan on the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house and, as a result, obtained more than $100,000.

residential mortgage loan from Amcore Bank on property owned by the victim in the 800 block of North Ottawa Avenue.

The documents also say that in April of 2007, Smith, using the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s power of attorney but without her authority, took out a $55,000

According to the documents, in April of 2010 Smith transferred $1,855 from the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bank account to Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account without the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consent.

Three Rockford residents were charged last week with a residential burglary near Stillman Valley.

According to a press release from Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn, deputies arrested Curtis A. Clark, 32, Keisha M. Latham, 29, and

Melissa A. Salsbury, 41, on May 8 on warrants for residential burglary.

They were arrested after Ogle County detectives, working with Winnebago County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Police, recovered stolen property from a vehicle occupied by

the three.

The stolen property was taken April 8 during a burglary at a Hales Corner Road residence.

Bond was set at $250,000 each. Salsbury remains in the Ogle County Jail.

Latham and Clark are not

being held at the jail.

According to the press release, detectives are investigating other residential burglaries in rural Stillman Valley and rural Monroe Center. Clark, Latham, and Salsbury are persons of interest in those investigations.
