Stories galore at Polo Car Show

By Chris Johnson Reporter Every car has a story — all you need to do is ask the owner.

This rang true during the 25th annual Polo Car, Truck, and Tractor Show Saturday morning.

Car enthusiasts arrived early to prepare their car for the show.

Each one had a different story and a variety of reasons why they love showing their vehicle.

Marlin Jensen, Dixon, was at the show with his 1974 Jensen Interceptor. “I needed a car with my name,� said Jensen. “This car is a Jensen. I also own a Marlin.�

Having two antique cars that match his first and last name was one thing that made Jensen unique.

The story of how he acquired the Interceptor was a tale to be told. “The Interceptor was built in West Bromwich, England,� he said. “It has a Chrysler engine and a Jaguar rear end. I bought this car site unseen online.�

Purchasing a car online took trust between the buyer and seller.

Jensen joked the car looked good in the pictures and description. “The guy was good but did not disclose everything,�

Jensen said. “I did not want a project. I wanted no rust, but it had a hole in the hood.�

If that was the only Dave Banes, Rock Falls, was one of the first to arrive at the Polo Car Show Saturday morning with his 1956 problem, it would have Chevrolet Bel Air. Here Banes cleans the inside of the windshield for that final touch to make the car show perfect. been a relatively simple Photo by Chris Johnson fix, however there were additional dents and major damage to be repaired.

Pack riding okay for motorcycles

By Chris Johnson Reporter A recent double-fatality involving two motorcycles has raised questions for some area motorists on the legality of motorcycles riding in packs.

The Illinois Motorcycle Operator Manual published

by Jesse White, Secretary of State, outlines the laws for cyclists.

On page 32 of the publication, it is recommended to divide a pack into smaller groups and suggests riders should be staggered in a zig zag formation, not side by side.

Sergeant Michael Kuehl, Illinois State Police (ISP) District 1 Interim Administrative Officer, confirmed there is no law against pack riding. “There are no laws restricting the number of motorcycles in a pack,� he wrote in an email about motorcycle safety.

Motorcycle riders follow many of the same laws as other motorists on the roads.

Drivers following a motorcycle should always be extra aware of motorcycles, but motorcycles also need to be aware of the automobiles and drive extra defensively, he wrote.

There are signs around the county advising motorists to start seeing motorcycles, but all motorists need to pay attention to everyone on the road, he added.

Distracted driving has become a contributing cause to several accidents, according to Kuehl. “Motor vehicle crashes due to distracted driving are definitely on the rise,� he wrote.

Cell phones are one of the major causes of distracted

Businessman wants city council to consider his TIF request

By Vinde Wells Editor A Polo businessman is hoping his request for help from the city’s Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District will be considered sometime in the near future.

David Ferris, who owns Dave’s Auto & Custom, 203 E. Dixon St., said he asked the city council last year for a $60,000 grant from the TIF Fund to replace the roof on his business, blacktop the parking area, and make other City street employees Judy Shipman and Kendall Kyker freshen up the paint on a turn upgrades.

His request was on the arrow on Mason Street in downtown Polo Aug. 6. Photo by Vinde Wells council’s meeting agenda on July 1, 2013.

attend the meeting due to a death in his family.

In the board packet for that meeting was a proposal drawn up on Ferris’ behalf by Jacobs and Klein, Bloomington, the city’s TIF attorney.

The proposal included three options for real estate tax abatements over the life of the TIF District, which would have amounted to $16,000 to $25,000 over the next several years.

The request was back on the agenda for the July 15, 2013 meeting. The minutes for that meeting state that Mayor Doug Knapp reported that Ferris was considering other options.

Ferris said last week that he was asking for a grant because he needed funds

immediately to replace the roof which leaks. The tax abatement over the long term did not fit his situation, he said.

City Clerk Susie Corbitt said the TIF Fund had only $14,000 when Ferris made his request. She said she suggested he explore a grant from the Polo Economic Development Committee instead.

Ferris said he has not withdrawn his request and would like the council to consider it when the TIF Fund has sufficient funds.

Knapp said at the Aug. 4 council meeting that the city council is not in a position to offer anything but real estate or sales tax breaks through a TIF agreement.

convicted.

I tell people if there is any doubt about what to do when you see a school bus with its lights on just stop and wait until the bus is finished with the students.

Drivers are obligated to stop for the school bus, the school bus is not obligated to wait for cars to clear. Don’t try to beat the lights.

The speed limit in all school zones is 20 mph. There is no grace period for this speed zone which begins immediately at the posted sign.

The fine for speeding in a school zone is double the normal fine of $120.

We are asking the students that walk to school to be cautious, too.

Use the sidewalks and cross walks. Don’t walk in the street.

Walk with a friend if you can. Ask your parents about stranger danger.

If you have any trouble walking to or from school

look for a house with a bright Helping Hand sign on the front door.

That house is a safe house for you to go and ask for help.

Anyone interested in becoming a Helping Hand house should contact the Polo Police Department at 815-946-3412 to pick up an application.

If you ride your bike to school you must follow all applicable traffic laws.

No bicycles are allowed on the sidewalk in the business district unless you are walking your bike. Lock your bicycle once you arrive at school.

It is also illegal to use a cell phone while driving a vehicle in Illinois unless it is hands free.

The Polo Police Department will be enforcing this law especially in school zones where safety is a concern.

We hope the students and the staff of the Polo School District have a safe and happy school year.

Annual Polo Historical Society summer picnic held

By Betty Obendorf Curator Polo Historical Society The Henry School was indeed once more full last Wednesday night for the Polo Historical Society summer picnic.

Good food, good fellowship, and a delightful summer evening. You could not ask for anything better than that. Our weather has been superb.

Greg Dyer even came down for the picnic from Wisconsin and he enjoys being

in the school. This is where his mother spent some time as she was growing up in that very building.

His mother was a sister to Patrick Fegan. Patrick went to World War I from Polo and our American Legion. He did not come back.

Greg enjoys the fellowship of the Polo people and always when he leaves says to me, “God bless you.” We part with a very warm feeling and a sincerity that makes you want to meet again soon. This time he even tucked into my hand a

considerable amount of money for the Polo Historical Society.

We have been updating our donor boards at the Aplington House and the Henry School.

I was planning on having some more names added on each board this very week in Rock Falls. So of course we added Greg’s name to the board at the school.

We will be getting a new donor board for the Polo History Museum for large donations so keep that in mind for the future. We have never really acknowledged the B. F.

By Karen Merlak It has been a beautiful summer. The weather has been much cooler than the past few years, which has made it much easier to enjoy our time outside.

Hopefully, we will have more rain soon. No matter what happens, we know that our God is watching over us and we are thankful.

This morning in church, we were greeted by Larry and Judy Riffle. Jim Hopkins read the scripture lesson for this morning.

Our special music was the story of the hymn, “It Is No Secret,” read by Larry Riffle.

God can make great transformations in people, which the author states beautifully in the hymn.

would run off from the gravel surface Gaul was proposing.

He said the area is primarily residential, and he would prefer to see Gaul’s property remain an empty lot unless a house is built there.

Gaul said the area has mixed residential and commercial zoning.

“It’s not like I’m going to commercial when there’s no commercial there,” he said.

He said Fry requested rezoning his property from commercial to residential

and that was granted by the council.

In other business, the council accepted the resignation of Ward 2 Alderman Matt Mekeel, effective immediately.

In his letter of resignation, Mekeel said he recently purchased a new home in another part of the city and has moved out of the ward he represents.

Mekeel was elected to a four-year term on the council in April of 2013.

Downs, and Larry Riffle.

Jean Cunningham and her daughter, Jane Hamilton and her husband, Tom, recently returned from a family reunion in California.

This was the 17th year the McCrery cousins have hosted the reunion at their property in Swanton, The Big Creek Lumber Company, located on Highway One, north of Santa Cruz.

There were about 150 family members from many different states who gathered to honor the 100th birthday of Jean’s aunt, Alice Roberts of Palo Alto.

Alice was well-hugged

by Jean and in return, Alice expressed her joy with her quick wit.

Also attending the reunion were Jean’s family, Steve Cunningham and his wife, Rita, from Sugar Grove, Dan Cunningham and his wife, Toni, from Aurora, and Tim Cunningham and his wife, Lisa, from Peoria.

Jean spent several days with her brother, David Walker, and his wife, Mary, in Pine Grove in the Sierras. Jane and Tom Hamilton visited David’s niece and family in Pleasanton and a friend in Sacramento.

They stopped in Pocatello, Idaho to see Jean’s sister, Faith Brainard and her husband,

Ron, and their family. The travelers also spent an evening with another cousin in Hasting, Nebraska, whose grandmother grew up in Polo.

It was a very busy trip and over much too soon for Jean.

She really enjoyed getting to visit so many family members.

Recently James and Nancy Hopkins drove to Stone Mountain, Ga., to attend the 50th wedding anniversary celebration of Jim’s sister and brother-in-law, Linda and Steve Parrett.

The event was hosted by their daughter, Marnie Parrett, and son and daughter-in-law, Daryn and Meagan Parrett, and grandchildren, Max and Jack Parrett. Also attending were Sharon and Fred Altman of Pekin.

The families spent their time visiting and looking through family scrapbooks, pictures and letters. The Parretts, Altmans, and Hopkins were hosted by Jim and Cheryl Carlton, friends of the Parretts, for two evening meals.

Jim and Nancy enjoyed the southern hospitality all weekend long.

On Wednesday evening, I went out to Timberlake Playhouse to see the production of Les Miserables. It was an outstanding production with a wonderfully talented

Shaw family for the donation of the building so it is time to make some new plans for sizable memorial money and large donations to the Polo Historical Society.

This week we had a surprise visit again from Orrie and Karen Muench of Pilot Mound, Iowa. They were here five years ago.

That day they came into the museum when several of us happened to be there and we all hit it off perfectly.

We took them on a tour of Ogle County and they were staying at the White Pines State Park. We even all went for breakfast the next morning.

When they left, we thought we would head out in their direction some day but so far had never made it. That particular time they were attempting to find out if the Muench family from Polo was connected to the

Muench family of Iowa.

They visited Annabelle at the Polo Rehab Center but Annabelle just did not know about her family genealogy.

We were quite surprised to get a call late Thursday afternoon from Orrie that they were in town. We gave Bud and Lucille a call and all of us gathered at the museum.

This time I had the genealogy of the Muench family of Polo and while we visited, Orrie looked through the big notebook. He came to the conclusion that they were not connected since nothing stood out in all the names.

After that we all headed out to the Pines for dinner hoping they would again have that raspberry cobbler they had five years ago.

No such luck but the dinner and great visiting made up for it. Then Bud drove us all to

places we had missed five years ago.

We had not gone through the fords at the Pines or Castle Rock State Park. Orrie was also interested in seeing Woods Brothers since he had some of their equipment.

We ended up at Barnacopia which really blew their minds as they looked at the building.

Of course it was closed but this will give them a reason to come back to the area.

They had been to a meeting at Galena of AgriGold Seed Corn Company and they were quite surprised to see a cap on Kenneth’s head of that same company.

We are still pleasantly surprised to think they would remember us in Polo and would come back to once more say hello.

This says much about Polo people.

cast, beautiful costumes, and amazing sets. We are very lucky to have such fantastic entertainment so close to home.

On Friday evening, Stephanie arrived home for the weekend. On Saturday afternoon, Clint finished his last day at Camp Emmaus. He will continue to lifeguard as needed on the weekend, but the regular season is over.

On Saturday evening, Matt came over and my three kids and I had a great family night sharing dinner and playing games. The evening ended way too late, sharing stories about their childhood. I love to hear their rendition of their upbringing.

Stephanie will return to St. Paul for one more week of

work and finish packing up the things from her room. It will be so nice to have her home, even if it’s just a short time.

This week, Clint and I finished a huge project. I gave each of our kids a puzzle for Christmas last year. Clint started his on a table in the basement in January. The puzzle contained 1,000 pieces and the picture was of several ships at a dock. It also glows in the dark.

For eight months, Clint has been working on the puzzle.

Sometimes, he would leave it for an extended time, but with a little encouragement, he would go back to it.

As we worked on it, I told Clint I thought we were missing a piece because none seemed to fit a certain part of

the puzzle.

As we neared the finish, Clint found the piece I had been looking for. It looked nothing like what I thought it would be. Looking at each piece, you can’t tell how they would turn into a picture.

God works like that. He takes the broken pieces and helps us lay them in order, until they fit. When things don’t seem to be working right, we know we can count on God to put the pieces back together to create His amazing masterpiece.

I hope to see you next week at one of our area churches.

We all need time to refresh and recharge.

On Sunday mornings, we can worship our Father while He prepares us to face a new week.

Oregon Elementary School Principal Ann Tilton has been awarded a 2014 John Ourth and Dr. Fred Singleton Professional Development Scholarship sponsored by the Illinois Principals Association (IPA).

Tilton has served as a principal at Oregon Elementary School since 2011.

Prior to that she was a principal at the AshtonFranklin Center School District and a sixth grade teacher there.

She was also previously an instructor at Sauk Valley Community College, Dixon.

Tilton said she believes a dynamic principal serves as an instructional leader through continued professional development and sharing the information with staff members.

“It is imperative to lead in a manner that exemplifies sincerity, honesty, and appreciation for both students and staff members while maintaining high expectations and accountability,” she said.

The John Ourth & Dr.

Fred Singleton Professional Development Scholarships were established in 2007 to recognize the contributions of John Ourth and Dr. Fred Singleton, former IPA Field Directors, to the Illinois Principals Association.

The scholarship provides funding to assist individuals in the pursuit of graduate study, attendance at national conferences, and attendance at other relevant professional development to further the capacities of school administrators to be instructional leaders.

Two $750 scholarships are awarded each year.

Ourth passed away shortly after the creation of the scholarship on Dec. 10, 2007.

Singleton recently retired with 50 years of service in education.

Tilton will be recognized in October, along with Arcola Elementary School Principal Angie Gentry, the recipient of the other scholarship, at a ceremony during the Illinois Principals Association Fall Professional Conference held in Peoria.

Next year’s reunion will be held on Aug. 2 at St. James Lutheran Church.

Jazz musician who played in Oregon area passes away Sauk Valley Media Val DeCastris, a jazz musician for more than 70 years and known professionally as Val Eddy, has died of cancer and Parkinson’s disease at the age of 88.

DeCastris, who died Aug. 4 at Lincolnshire Place assisted living center in Rockford, was a singer, band leader and acoustic bassist who toured the country for decades with the late pianist and vocalist Homer Carlson as the Val Eddy Duo. They played major clubs and resort in Chicago, Rockford and throughout the Midwest, and later in their careers performed at Chicago

Cubs third baseman Stan Hacks’ Landmark in Grand Detour, Maxson’s in Oregon and the Brandywine in Dixon.

In the 1950s, when joined by the late guitarist Dave Pitts, known as Dave LaMond, the duo became the Val Eddy Trio.

They had their own live music TV show, “The Song Shop,” that aired four nights a week on WTVO in the 1950s.

The band performed with such music legends as Danny Thomas, Louie Armstrong, Les Brown, Stan Kenton, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Woody Herman, Lionel Hampton, Jack Benny and Martha Raye.

They recorded on the MCA record label.

DeCastris also served in the Army during World War II, and played in the Army Marching Band and eventually its Dance Band, performing at USO events.

A visitation with jazz performances by friends was scheduled for Aug. 13 from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Fitzgerald Funeral Home, 1860 S. Mulford Rd.,Rockford.

Visitation is from 10 to 11 a.m. Aug. 14 at Holy Family Parish, followed by a funeral mass at 11 a.m. and burial at Calvary Cemetery.

Memorials can be sent to his daughter, Val DeCastris, 918 Cunningham Street, Rockford, IL 61102 to provide music scholarships for needy youth.

The Rock River Center will hold its annual barbecue on Saturday, Aug. 23 from 4 to 7 p.m.

Dale Beesing Welding has again donated the hogs for the barbecue and the food will be prepared by Oregon’s own Oregon Powerhouse BBQ. Live and silent auctions will take place and will keep the crowds entertained throughout the evening.

John Deere is the subject of a new documentary

By Angel Sierra Sauk Valley Media Themes of ingenuity and perseverance permeate the histories of successful American entrepreneurs.

Moline native Chris Burke hopes to capture that spirit in a documentary about a man who changed the agricultural world: John Deere.

Burke, 41, focused the storyline of his screenplay on Deere’s early life – the parts that made the young man a renowned innovator – and soon will use the John Deere Historic Site in Grand Detour as a backdrop.

The new documentary, “The Best That Is In Me: Mr. John Deere’s Dream,” produced by Fourth Wall Films of Moline, will be narrated by venerable actor Rance Howard. It is scheduled to be released in early 2016.

Tribute to Mom Burke, who lives in Aurora with his wife, Jennifer, 40, and three daughters, started the project shortly after his mom, Karen, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in January 2008.

“She was the martyr,” Burke said. You could hear him smile over the phone as

he reminisced.

“She was the type of person who always tried to do everything for everyone, kept the family in line, and was a remarkably hard worker. She was a special person.”

Born in 1942 in Moline, for 20 years Karen was an office manager for Donohoo Steel Treating Co., in Bettendorf, Iowa. She retired early because of her illness.

Burke would make the 4-hour round-trip to see her as often as possible, and on his way home, often would stop in Dixon.

Within a few months, his mom, who stood all of about 5-foot-2, had fallen to well below 100 pounds, he said.

“She was just so tiny. She didn’t have anything to fight it.”

The stress surrounding his mom’s diagnosis was overwhelming, he said, and so one day, on a trip back to Aurora, he detoured to visit the John Deere Historic Site; maybe to cope with the emotional deluge and to “perhaps delay the inevitable.”

Throughout the tour, Burke identified with Deere’s motivation for selfimprovement, and he became enamored with the story of Deere’s early life, he said.

Deere was a blacksmith who discovered that the plow design used on farms in the east wouldn’t work on the Midwest’s chunky clay soil.

He grappled with economic turmoil in an era when the nation faced an uncertain future. His father disappeared at sea. “[The tour] was fantastic,” Burke said, adding that he knew Deere existed, but nothing beyond that.

Back home to Aurora, he called his mom. He wondered why Deere’s upbringing hadn’t yet been told in a way that could reach a large audience.

“Why don’t you do it?”

Karen asked.

“Yeah, right,” Burke said as he laughed and shrugged off the idea.

That exchange turned out to be one of their last. By the time tests shed light on what was going on with his mom, the cancer had spread to her brain. About 2 weeks later, about 5 months after the initial diagnosis, Karen died.

She was 65.

A great story The day after her death, Burke told Jennifer he wanted to work on the screenplay.

The focus he placed on writing became a sort of

therapy, he said.

“Now she likes it, but for a while, she thought I was absolutely crazy.”

“Screenwriting for Dummies” was one of the first resources he used to help him get started, he said, working in business development by day and on the screenplay at night.

“The first draft was pretty horrible,” Burke confessed.

“It took about 4 or 5 months

[to assemble].”

Several Hollywood studios rejected the script, but Burke, like Deere, never accepted defeat. “[John Deere’s life] is a great story of Americana ... of overcoming challenges.”

It would be 2 to 3 years more before he felt confident enough to make it a movie, he said.

Fourth Wall Films, operated by husband-and-

wife Kelly and Tammy Rundle is making the documentary.

Kelly, 55, grew up in the Quad Cities; coincidentally, his dad was a barber at John Deere Inc. headquarters more than 30 years.

“So, I’ve heard a lot about [the company] over the years,” he said with a laugh.

Tammy’s father, too, had a

Kelly said. “It’s been overlooked. A lot of people focus on his life from the time of the plow’s invention to today.â€?

After Fourth Wall and Burke connected, they approached John Deere Inc. to iron out legal details and identify anything that could derail or halt production, he said.

You can help to complete the project by making a tax-deductible donation.

At this point, fundraising is ongoing, and the documentary is in preproduction. The team plans to film at the John Deere site in Grand Detour next summer or fall. “I think John Deere belongs on a long list of American innovators

and inventors. ‌ People like Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, Thomas Edison,�

Kelly said. “He’s not usually included on those lists.�

He said sharing awareness of Deere’s early life and his accomplishments is a primary goal of the project.

It could just be that his story hasn’t been told in a way that captured the public’s attention. “That’s what we hope to do.�

Car owners have fun at the shows From A1 “When I got the car it had dents in the roof and a door was caved in,� he said. “It has a leather headliner and is hard to get dents out of the roof without damaging the leather.�

On the plus side, the car came with a working 8 track player.

Jensen purchased the car in 2004 and made the repairs to get the car working. “It was nice to get this car in working order,� he said.

The Interceptor was parked next to another interesting car, a 1964 VW Dune Buggy owned by Bob Kloog, Oregon. “The previous owner had it in parts,� said Kloog “I saved it and rebuilt it.�

Kloog purchased the car, with the boxes of parts, nine years ago. “I rebuilt the car,� he said. “There was not much there when I started.�

When asked how the car runs, Kloog showed his sense of humor. “The car gets me where I need to go,� he said.

The dune buggy attracts attention wherever it is driven. “The kids like this car,� said Kloog.

As for why Kloog enjoys shows, there is a simple answer. “It is a beautiful day for a car show,� he said. “I like to get out and meet the people.�

Another car owner who enjoys meeting people is

Dave “Grumpy� Banes, Rock Falls. “I enjoy being around the people and having fun,�

Banes said.

His 1956 Chevy Bel Air has a Grump decal from “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.� Banes said his nickname is Grumpy and everyone knows him by that name.

The Bel Air was modified

by Banes to include a better engine. “I get a lot of people telling me that ‘They had one just like it,’� he said. “Well, not like this one. I added a 468 engine to it.�

Banes wanted to give the car more power and the big block engine he installed did the trick.

The only problem with the added power was making sure he obeys the speed limit. “I have a heavy foot,� he said. “It is fun to drive.�

When cruising around the area with his car Banes said he always receives thumbs up from other motorists.

The car’s previous owner was from Polo.

Banes purchased the car in Polo eight years ago. “It was in need of repairs when I bought it and now it is finished,� he said.

Archie Jensen, Rochelle, also had to repair his car when it was purchased.

He brought his 1957 Ford Fairlane with a retractable roof to the show. “I spent the past two years

to get it running perfect,� said Archie. “I have done everything on it.�

Fortunately for Archie, none of the repairs was body work. He said the body and paint was clean but the car had small mechanical issues. “I have owned it two years. It is interesting when people tell you ‘My dad, my uncle, my brother, had one of these cars,’� he said. “This is our baby and we enjoy shows.�

When the car is on display the roof is partially retracted to show how the device functions.

A walk down Mason Street would lead visitors to countless other car owners with similar stories. All it takes was a simple hello to This 1957 Ford Fairlane with a retractable roof is owned by Archie Jensen, Rochelle. get the conversation started. Photo by Chris Johnson

Ethan Cain placed top 16 at national tournament

By Patrick Mason Sauk Valley Media Ethan Cain remembers being thrown. He remembers landing awkwardly. Then the memories stop.

“The kid threw me and I landed wrong,” Cain said.

“I don’t remember anything from the match, and it took a couple of days for me to be back to normal.”

Cain, a soon-to-be junior at Polo High School, was wrestling in the 160-pound division in the Junior Nationals Greco-Roman Wrestling Tournament in Fargo, North Dakota, when he suffered a concussion. He had aspirations of being an AllAmerican at the week-long tournament from July 20-26, but the concussion put an end to those hopes.

Still, Cain, representing Illinois, earned a place in the top 16 at the prestigious tournament, and helped Illinois to the national title with 69 points.

Minnesota was second with 51 points, while Utah was a distant third with 38.

The tournament is the premier Greco-Roman wrestling tournament in the country, and the format pits each state against one another by scoring the individual wrestlers based on the state they represent. Illinois has dominated the field in past years.

“I was pretty nervous coming in,” Cain said. “This is the biggest tourney I’ve participated in; I plan to do it next year as well.”

This was the second straight year Cain qualified for the tournament, after he placed in the top three at a regional qualifier in Indianapolis for the second consecutive year.

Greco-Roman is a style of wrestling not seen in high school, but performed in international competition, including the Olympics. It focuses on the upper body; grabbing and using your opponents’ legs for leverage is not allowed, so wrestlers use moves like arm drags and tosses in order to score points.

Because of this, intense throws – and often injuries –

are quite common.

Not long into his wrestling career, Cain knew he wanted to challenge himself.

Wrestling was fun. It was a way to release pent-up energy in a controlled fashion. But Cain wanted more, and wanted to see how far he could push himself. So in sixth grade, he shifted his focus to GrecoRoman.

“I just wanted to find ways to push myself,” Cain said.

Outlets to learn and practice Greco-Roman are abundant in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, but are hard to find in the Sauk Valley area, so Cain had to travel to Rockford to get a taste of the different style.

Sterling head coach Charlie Bishop also teaches the style, and normally coaches kids from Sterling and Dixon.

He helped Cain take his understanding of the style to another level.

“I was there for his starting years,” Bishop said. “He would show up from Polo, and you could tell that the had the love and that passion to learn and challenge himself.”

Bishop, a former wrestler at Dixon High School, started learning Greco-Roman in junior high, around the same time in life as Cain began.

So Bishop helped share his experiences, and was able to relate to the wrestler from Polo.

And when Cain was in North Dakota last month, Bishop kept tabs on the wrestler.

“That was the tournament you would always want to go to,” Bishop said. “Everyone there is a top-notch wrestler.

It’s a top-tier tournament. To represent Illinois is special, because Illinois has dominated it for so long.

“And for him to not be from Chicago or the suburbs is tough, because there aren’t as many opportunities to learn the craft out here.”

Cain has gained 15 pounds since his freshman year, when he wrestled at 145. He is now up to 160 after adding a few inches of height.

The Greco-Roman style has helped Cain immensely in high school during the weight-

class changes. Last season as a sophomore at Polo, Cain was one match away from placing at the state tournament.

During his freshman season, he was one match away from qualifying for state. He hopes that he can continue the trend and improve in each of his two remaining seasons.

Bishop believes that Cain can unlock his untapped potential and could dominate during the high school season with the added knowledge of another form of wrestling.

“If you know you’re going to go against some guy in the season who did Greco, you know they’re going to go out and throw you and it’s going to hurt,” Bishop said. “It’s also going to be impossible to throw them. The big thing is you’re not allowed to use your legs, so those guys will have the advantage and will land big, hard throws.

“You’ll see big throws from Polo wrestler Ethan Cain and Morrison wrestler Austin Keller. File Photo Cain this season.”

Fundraiser for Forrestville Valley schools is Sept. 13 Event in memory of Doug Vedra The 18th annual Vedra Scramble for Education will be held Saturday, Sept. 13 at the Lake Carroll Golf Course, Lake Carroll.

Registration for the event will begin at 11 a.m. and a shot gun start will be at 12 p.m. Following 18 holes of golf will be a steak dinner at 6 p.m.

The Vedra Scramble is the major fundraiser for the Forrestville Valley School

Foundation, which plays a role in enhancing of the educational programs of the Forrestville Valley Schools.

The golfing event started in 1996 in memory of the late Doug Vedra, former Forrestville Valley School Board president and athletic

booster.

The majority of net income from the event comes from sponsor donations and golf contributions, and the event is a day of fun to raise money for a valuable cause.

The Forrestville Valley School Foundation was

founded in 1990 by former administrators and alumni who were passionate about the youth of the communities and their education.

The foundation gives minigrants twice a year to staff members of the school district to enhance an area of the

curriculum for students K-12.

The Foundation also awards scholarships to graduating seniors of Forreston High School. For more information call Forreston State Bank at 815-938-3121 or the Forrestville Valley School District at 815-938-2036

football. Though numbers are down, Oregon should be solid. They also have relatively good size.

I predict the Hawks will be more physical than last year and will make another push for the playoffs. A key is to stay healthy, something that Oregon has been fortunate with over the years.

It appears that Stillman Valley and Rockford Lutheran will be heads and shoulders above everyone else in the conference.

However, Oregon is capable of playing with everyone else on its schedule.

Sports Column Oregon coaches, freshmen parents attend seminar

By Andy Colbert Reporter A few odds and ends.

As a part-time helper for the track program, I had the opportunity to join many of the coaches from Oregon for an educational coaching clinic last week.

The same person who gave the seminar to freshmen parents the following evening put it on.

Credit the school’s administration for facilitating both programs and giving all of us something to think about.

There is definitely a different dynamic in interpersonal relationships between athlete, coach and parents than in years past, along with significantly more

outside influences.

As I sat there with about 30 coaches or so, this thought hit me – Oregon athletic leadership is blessed with a great deal of humility.

We have very modest coaches, which isn’t always the case in the coaching profession.

Big shotism just isn’t to be found in this bunch, even in high profile sports like football, basketball and volleyball.

couple weeks ago.

Maybe when school starts, that number will jump up further.

Did you know that Gipper was a former state track qualifier for Forreston in 1977 as a distance runner?

Her husband Tim will be cocoaching the team with her.

Another notable woman athlete from that era is my boss at the paper, Earleen Hinton, who assists with the basketball program. Earleen graduated from Mt. Morris in 1977 and went on to play field hockey in college on scholarship.

Earleen credits much of her success to being mentored

by Salley Wessels while at Mt. Morris. The 1970s were certainly a pioneering time for high school girls sports, as they progressed from the dark ages of GAA to genuine IHSA competition.

*** Sitting across from me was trainer John Cain, who was happy to report that he was rehired at Ogle County Physical Therapy.

That solves the uncertainty of who was going to handle trainer duties at Oregon for the upcoming year.

Another bit of good news came from new crosscountry coach Lori Gipper, who reported that five boys *** and five girls are now out, up Walking over to from a total of six combined a Blackhawk Center to take

in the coaching clinic, I ran into a project manager for the company installing the geothermal wells around Jefferson, Etnyre and the high school.

Did you know the geological formations at each school are somewhat different?

Jefferson was the easiest for drill, as it was mostly clay. Etnyre had pea and sand gravel, forcing the crew to go deeper in its drilling.

The high school had more bedrock than the other two sites.

All wells (and there’s a whole lot of them), with their warm/cold water pipes are 200 feet-plus deep. The geothermal wells will offer substantial savings when it comes to winter heating and summer cooling and the project manager wondered why more schools weren’t adding them.

Another key for the Hawks is to get off to a fast start against Johnsburg, North Boone and Rock Falls in the first three games. Johnsburg is 1-26 the last three years and Rock Falls’ record isn’t much better.

North Boone nipped us once (2012), but we usually *** have the upper hand against It’s never too early to talk them. A 3-0 start could

really be the springboard for a successful year and create excitement in week four as the Hawks travel to Dixon a match up with the Dukes.

That game will be the first time since these two teams have played since the 1950s according to Oregon High School Activities Director Mike Lawton.

While the Master Gardener program is nationwide, Illinois started its first training in 1975 and now boasts more than 3,500 Master Gardeners statewide.

Training is offered on a rotational basis throughout the state.

Master Gardeners are volunteers who have received training in horticulture from University of Illinois Extension educators.

After the initial training, 60 hours of volunteer work are required over a two-year period. Once the 60 hours are completed the volunteer becomes a certified Master Gardener.

To maintain active status, each year the volunteer must complete 30 hours of volunteer work and 10 hours

of continuing education.

As volunteers, Master Gardeners make a difference in the community. Over the last year, the 22 active Master Gardeners in Ogle County contributed over 1,500 volunteer hours.

They assisted by answering homeowners’ gardening questions, teaching gardening lessons for children, planning and presenting at educational workshops, and working with 4-H and local organizations.

State Sen. Tim Bivins (R-Dixon) has been asked

by Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno to serve as Assistant Senate Republican Leader.

Bivins has previously served since January 2013 as Senate Republican Whip on the Senate Republican leadership team.

The role of Whip is to ensure discipline, order and attendance in Caucus meetings.

“Serving on the leadership team has given me, and the citizens of northwest Illinois, a better opportunity to guide the course of legislation and issues that affect us all on a daily basis,” Bivins said. “My new role as Assistant Senate Republican Leader will allow me to play an even stronger role in strategy and policy discussions as decisions are made about the future of our state.”

The position of Whip will be filled by State Sen. Sue Rezin (R-Morris).

“Both Senators Bivins and Rezin have been leaders in our caucus since they were sworn in,” said Radogno. “As Republican Whip, Senator Bivins’ insight has proven invaluable to me and our Caucus. I look forward to continue building on that experience. Senator Rezin brings tremendous energy, fresh ideas and forwardthinking to her new role.

Together our focus remains

Emotions high as Sheley sentenced for murders Four brutally killed in Rock Falls in 2008

By Christi Warren Sauk Valley Media The courtroom was silent, almost unnervingly so. It was a hot day outside Monday, but inside it was hot, too, and the air was sticky.

Courtroom B, on the top level of the Whiteside County Courthouse, was packed, each person breathing anxiously, waiting for the punishment that has been 6 long years in coming for Nicholas Sheley.

What would be his punishment for taking the lives of four people, without apparent provocation, in a Rock Falls apartment in June 2008?

After the court listened to emotional statements from the victims’ families, they heard the long-awaited sentence for those four brutal murders: Four life terms, to be served one after the other, and after two earlier life terms imposed for murdering a Sterling man and Galesburg

man during a weeklong drugand-alcohol-fueled killing spree.

Sheley was convicted May 29 for the killings in that Rock Falls apartment of Brock Branson, 29, Kilynna Blake, 20, Dayan Blake, 2, and Kenneth Ulve, 25.

Sheley previously received life terms for the deaths of Russell Reed, 93, at his rural Sterling home, and Ronald Randall, 65, in Galesburg.

Next for Sheley will be a trial for the murders of Arkansas couple Tom and Jill Estes. They were killed in Festus, Missouri, while in town for a graduation.

Just after 11 a.m. Monday, Whiteside County State’s Attorney Trish Joyce read two victim-impact statements from members of Kilynna Blake’s family.

Then Brock Branson’s sister, Jodi Fitzgerald, took the stand to read hers.

The Branson family turned out in force to hear what likely was Sheley’s final Illinois sentencing.

They were a sea of blue and orange, all decked out in Chicago Bears gear in honor of their son’s favorite team. “On Monday, June 30, 2008, around 4 p.m., I

received a phone call from my father while driving home from work,� Fitzgerald said. “Little did I know that phone call would be a call that would change my entire life.�

She went on to recount the struggle to understand Brock’s death, how it has affected her and her family, and importantly, the life of Brock’s daughter. “He had a huge heart, and because of you, Nick Sheley,

your selfish decision in rage and jealousy, I mourn the loss of my own identity,� she said. “I want to be normal again. Not ‘Jodi whose brother was killed by Nick Sheley.’ “I mourn the loss of my parents as I knew them before Brock’s death.�

She looked up occasionally at Sheley, who, as he did during his trial, sat in shackles, staring straight ahead.

Fitzgerald took her seat, and the courtroom filled with a calm silence as Judge Jeffrey O’Connor prepared to read his sentence.

Missouri, where Sheley will next face trial, has the death penalty, but Jefferson County prosecutor Forrest Wegge has declined to say whether he’ll seek it. He must decide before trial begins; there is no timetable for when that might be.

Illinois Assistant Attorney General Bill Elward was among a group of attorneys who met recently with Wegge to discuss the next steps in the case. “Missouri’s going to seek to have him transferred from the Illinois Department of Corrections,� Elward said. “We’re going to do whatever we can to assist the state of Missouri to get him there.. ... “We’re getting [Wegge] all the evidence files that we have. It’s relatively straightforward what this defendant did in Missouri, but we want them to have all the information about the Illinois evidence that he brought into Missouri.�

Sheley’s defense attorney, Jeremy Karlin, said he would file an appeal on Sheley’s

behalf, but didn’t think he would be involved in future proceedings, including the extradition or the appeal.

It’s an appeal that Elward doesn’t believe holds much weight. “We’re confident that there’s overwhelming evidence that he got a fair trial, and there’s overwhelming, overwhelming evidence that he’s guilty,� Elward said. “I don’t think there’s going to be any need for us to do anything [in Missouri] besides cheer from the sidelines.�

The Branson group gathered for a picture outside the courthouse before heading to a family lunch nearby. “It felt good,� Jodi Fitzgerald said about finally getting to read her statement. “It felt so good. I don’t care if he looked at me or what, but at least I did it, and it made me feel good. “I feel some closure, and it’s time to just be done with this now and just move on just in his memory. We can’t bring him back, so let’s just keep moving forward and stay strong. But at least this isn’t something we have to think about every day.�

Ogle tourism dollars totaled $64.9M last year Ogle County brought in $64.9 million from tourism last year, according to statistics recently released by the Illinois Office of Tourism.

The Blackhawk Waterways Convention & Visitors Bureau region, which includes Ogle, Carroll, Lee, and Whiteside Counties, generated at total of $149.81

million in 2013.

Local tax revenues generated by visitor spending came in at $3.37 million across the four-county region. “These statistics reinforce what I’ve said all along - the Blackhawk Waterways region is a great travel destination for those looking for a fun & relaxing getawa,� said Diane

Bausman, Executive Director of the Blackhawk Waterways CVB. “I’m confident that for the rest of 2014 travel to our four-county region will stay strong and the travel related tax revenues generated will continue to contribute to economic growth in our area.�

The other counties’ totals

are as follows: Carroll — $19.84 million; Lee — $30.03 million; and Whiteside—$35.04 million.

All statistics were provided in the 2013 Economic Impact of Tourism Report distributed by the Illinois Office of Tourism.

Statewide, Illinois had its third consecutive record-

breaking year for tourism by welcoming nearly 105.7 million visitors in 2013 .

Visitors spent $34.5 billion in Illinois, generating nearly $2.6 billion in state and local tax revenues.

This increase was fueled by the continued surge in leisure travel. “The robust results

emphasize the influential role tourism plays in fueling Illinois’ economic growth, creating jobs, and providing additional tax revenue to the state,� Bausman said.

AUTOS WANTED

Astrograph Be Honest Thursday, August 14, 2014 Finagle your way into beneficial situations. You will make the best gains if you connect with people who are willing to share their ideas as well as promote yours. Reaching your goals will be dependent on the people you surround yourself with this year.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Love is in the stars. You can make a good impression without spending a lot of money. A commitment to someone you have a long history with is apparent. Let your feelings be known.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Fix up your surroundings. An organized home life will clear your mind. A family member will help you find a way to make extra cash. Put your plans on paper.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Indulge your generous spirit by offering your time, not your money. Participate in local activities in order to make new friends. Don’t wait for things to happen; initiate change.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Put in extra effort on a professional venture that interests you. Go with the flow,

because fighting change will wear you out. Flexibility will help you excel.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You have a knack for spotting trends. Knowing what to expect will help you make a profit. Don’t be deterred by criticism. Do your thing and don’t look back.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You should make time for personal matters that need to be resolved. If you are feeling restless, consult with family members and discuss changes that could help improve your current living conditions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be honest and do whatever is necessary to sort out pending problems. Love and commitment are highlighted. A current relationship will advance to the next level if you reveal your intentions.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you seem to be caught on a treadmill, do something to take your mind off of your worries. Take a short trip or study something that has always fascinated you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You have the edge over the competition. Don’t be afraid to face a challenge. You have the ability to turn situations in your favor if you are aggressive.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Relax and make plans. Do your own thing and refrain from trying to influence or manipulate people around you. Map out a game plan that leads to fun and entertainment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Spend your day doing things that you enjoy. Decorating, getting together with friends or indulging in your favorite hobby will ease your stress and help you rejuvenate.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t try to be the center of attention. You can learn a lot by being a spectator. A situation that you thought you’d assessed properly will be vastly different than you imagined.
