Speaker urges collaborative planning for cities

By Vinde Wells Editor Setting aside differences and preconceived ideas has made it possible for the citizens of a small city in Kansas to rebuild “green� in the wake of a devastating tornado. “It has to be a collaborative effort. We have to change how we think about sustainability,� said Bob Dixson, mayor of Greensburg, Kans., when he spoke to a group of about 60 people at the Illinois Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyles Fair

Aug. 23 at the Ogle County Fairgrounds.

Dixson was the keynote speaker at the 13th annual fair, and he brought a message of encouragement about rebuilding after a disaster and going as “green� as possible whatever the situation.

Greensburg, then a city of more than 1,500 people, was 95 percent destroyed on May 4, 2007 by an EF5 tornado.

Eleven residents died. “In the blink of an eye your life can be changed,� Dixson said. “It didn’t matter what our socio-economic status was, we were all homeless.

We went from a tree-lined community‌.to rubble.�

The tornado packed 205 mph sustained winds and was more than a mile wide — almost as broad as the town.

Homes, businesses, schools, churches, and government buildings were all destroyed when the storm swept through in the early evening.

Dixson said he knows all too well how the loss felt. He and his wife Ann rode out the storm in the basement of their 100-plus-year-old Victorian “dream home.�

They were unhurt, but

nothing was left of the house or their possessions.

Despite the devastation, he said, residents of the community were determined to rebuild their homes and city. “We were blessed with an opportunity to rebuild,� he said.

Weekly planning meetings of 400-500 townsfolk and expert facilitators were held in a tent. “We developed a long term plan and came back together as a community at those meetings,� he said. “The Bob Dixson, mayor of Greensburg, Kans., provided this Turn to A2 photo of his home following a 2007 tornado.

Police investigating bank robbery in Davis Junction

By Vinde Wells Editor Police are seeking information about a bank robbery Aug. 23 in Davis Junction.

Ogle County Sheriff’s Police said a white male robbed the Byron Bank branch at the intersection of Ill. 72 and 251 around 11:30 a.m.

The police report said the suspect handed the teller a note and implied that he had a weapon.

He obtained an undisclosed amount of money and fled the scene in a small silver vehicle headed east on Ill. 72.

Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn said in a text message on Aug. 25 that he believes the FBI has taken over the investigation.

Anyone with information may contact the sheriff’s department detective division at 815-732-6666 or Ogle County Crime Stoppers at 888-228-4488.

The last bank robberies in the area occurred more than eight years ago when a robber held up German American State Bank in German Valley twice in just a few days.

91-year-old tandem skydives on Aug. 24

By Vinde Wells Editor

By Earleen Hinton General Manager It’s OK to scream. That was just one tip Dorothy Morris received on Sunday before jumping out of a plane over Rochelle at 14,000 feet.

Turns out the 91-year-old great grandmother didn’t need it anyway. “I forgot to scream. I was too busy looking around. I think I wanted to, but it was so thrilling I forgot,� the Mt. Morris resident said shortly after landing with her tandem skydiving instructor Paul Piccolo.

Surrounded by nearly 50 family members and friends, Morris jumped with Piccolo at the Chicagoland Skydiving Center in Rochelle on a hot and humid Sunday afternoon.

She decided to try skydiving after hearing her niece, Kathy Qualkinbush, DeKalb, talk about how much she enjoyed her “jumps�. “She kept bringing it up and finally

second time.

Bank employees recognized him from the first robbery 13 days earlier on April 7, 2006.

That investigation was also handled by the FBI. A suspect, who was not captured, attempted to rob the Holcomb State Bank in Holcomb on Jan. 27, 2010.

He tried to enter the bank by following an employee who was coming to work through a back door.

However, the door closed too quickly, thwarting the attempt.

Two days earlier a car of the same description as the suspect’s was seen near the Byron Bank’s branch at Davis Junction.

I said ‘Ok, I will arrange it’,â€? said Qualkinbush who has made hundred of jumps. “Initially, I was surprised, but knowing her it made sense. I mean, she’s on Facebook‌I’m sure she’ll put this on too.â€?

This was not the first visit for Morris to the skydiving center. She had watched other skydivers jump while eating at the Flight Deck Bar & Grill, located adjacent to the landing area. “I just love watching them jump,� she said. “We’ve come over for the evening meals so I’ve seen them over and over. I told Kathy I think I could

do that.�

After signing the necessary pre-form jumps at the registration desk, Morris made her way into a nearby room where she watched a video about her upcoming experience.

One of the tips encouraged screaming because “it actually helps� combat the anxiety. Another urged jumpers to let their jumping partner know if they felt nauseated so the professional could “take evasive action� and avoid any splash back.

Mom’s old standby peanutbutter sandwich is no longer welcome at two local elementary schools — even if it’s part of a sack lunch from home.

Forrestville Valley Superintendent Sheri Smith told the school board Aug. 20 that peanuts and all nuts that grow on trees are banned this year at Forreston and German Valley Grade Schools.

She said that decision was made because seven elementary students, including her own child, have allergies to peanuts.

Smith said a letter has been sent home to parents informing them of the policy.

The letter, from elementary principal Travis Heinz, read that if a student brings a nut product, even in a lunch or snack from home, the item

will be taken away, placed in a plastic bag, and sent back home.

A reminder label will be placed on the bag saying “FGS/GVGS are nut free schools, please enjoy this at home.�

Smith said Aug. 22 that if the item bagged is part of a lunch, the student will be given food from the cafeteria to replace it.

She said the junior high and high schools aren’t included in the ban because no students there have nut allergies.

In the past, she said, the schools notified parents, asking them not to sent nut products, only when a student in their child’s classroom had a nut allergy. “It’s becoming more widespread so it’s just easier to implement school-wide,�

Smith said.

The Aug. 29 menu for German Valley Grade School still listed a peanut butter and jelly sandwich last Friday, but Smith said she would

Tornado changed life in Greensburg From A1 meetings restored hope.�

Elected mayor a year after the tornado, Dixson said he has to change his mindset when “green and sustainable� was first discussed. “I just cringed,� he said with a grin.

Dixson said he began to realize that “green and sustainable� really means using what you have, much like his ancestors had. “My ancestors lived in green-roofed houses called sod houses,� he said. “They dug wells and ran the water through a cooling house to cool their milk and eggs.

They dug root cellars and used them to store food and for storm cellars.�

A big step in developing a more “green� community, he said, is to first identify the problems.

While Greensburg’s problem was obvious, each community will be different.

“It could be blighted areas, old infrastructure, or budgetary,� he said.

Dixson drew a laugh when he pointed out that all communities trying to plan will face opposition from “CAVE — Citizens Against Virtually Everything.�

He urged listeners to build for the future. “What do you want your community to look like in 100 years?� he asked. “It’s not about us. Long term is not three to five years.�

Since the tornado, Greensburg has seen the rebuilding of environmentally-friendly homes, businesses, and municipal buildings.

The first things to be rebuilt were the water tower and electrical system. “That showed the community that the city leaders were committed,�

Dixson said.

The city council has

mandated that all municipal buildings but meet LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) standards.

The city now has its own wind farm with 10 turbines. “We realized that the actual wind that blew us away could be the wind that powered our town,� Dixson said. “We are our own utility.�

While the LEED standards are encouraged for all structures, they are not required for homes or

privately-owned buildings.

However, residents have embraced the concept, and the average home is seeing a 45 percent energy savings; some as much as 85 percent. “Don’t get the idea that it has to come out of an architectural magazine to be an energy efficient home,�

Dixson said.

Homes have a variety of energy sources including geothermal, solar, and wind.

Some still us fossil fuels. “Everybody built as green as they could with the green they had,� he quipped.

Not everything is brand new, Dixson said explaining that the new city hall was built with some materials pulled from the rubble.

Buildings that weren’t destroyed were rehabbed to be “greener.� “The greenest, most sustainable building in the world is the one that’s already built,� he said. “I’m irritated when we build something with planned obsolescence and tear it down in 30 years.�

Bob Dixson, mayor of Greensburg, Kans., was the keynote speaker Aug. 23 at the Illinois Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair held at the Ogle County Fairgrounds.

Allergy policies at area schools From A1 check into that. “We aren’t serving peanuts,� she said.

The menu was changed to “cook’s choice� later that day.

More information about the policy is available on Chuck Howenstine, Woodstock, talks about simple tools and techniques that can the school website at www. still be used today. Howenstine was one of the many workshop presenters during the fvvsd221.org.

for students who suffer from peanut allergies.

He said parents are alerted when their child is riding a bus or in a classroom with a child who is allergic to nuts.

In those cases, he said parents are asked not to send food containing nuts in their children’s lunches or snacks. “We cannot control what students bring in a lunch, but we do ask for parents’ cooperation,� Mahoney said.

Polo Elementary Principal Melydi Huyett said a similar policy is in place there.

She said the school nurse compiles a confidential

list of students with peanut allergies, which is given to teachers and the cafeteria staff.

Parents are also asked not to bring treats containing peanuts for parties at school if a child in the classroom is allergic. “We don’t serve peanuts, and our cafeteria workers are trained in crosscontamination,� she said.

All three school districts have policies in place to deal with food allergies and any emergencies that might arise from them.

Historical Society attends dinner at Timber Creek

By Betty Obendorf Curator Polo Historical Society Thursday night a group of Polo Historical Society members and Paul Graehling’s family attended the Blackhawk Waterways CVB Annual Dinner at Timber Creek Golf Club in Dixon.

The Petunia City made it a festive evening as businessmen donated door prizes that caught everyone’s eye.

The 2014 Annual Dinner was dedicated to the memory of Paul Graehling who did so much for Polo and Ogle County Tourism.

Helping to save Aplington House, turning it into a museum, and opening his own museum to the public created tourism traffic to the county.

Just recently Gov. Quinn announced record-breaking visitors to Illinois in 2013.

When a community supports museums, this brings people into your community.

The Polo Historical Society, under the guidance of Paul Graehling brought Aplington House into the community. For a while there was a branch office of the tourism bureau in Aplington House and it was run by volunteers.

Then Paul pushed for the purchase of Burns House even though people were tired of putting Aplington

Pine Creek News

By Karen Merlak As we head into the final month of the summer season, the heat and humidity make it hard to work outside. We are so thankful to God for the welcome rain over the past couple of days.

We are glad to be in His care, for He knows what we need and when we need it.

This morning in church, we were greeted by Jim and Nancy Hopkins. Pastor Gregg Downs read the scripture lesson for the morning.

I had the pleasure of joining the adult Sunday School class with Larry Riffle as the teacher.

Last weekend, Sandra Ford spent some time with her daughter, Crystal Patterson, her husband, Jack, and their children, Hannah and Samuel.

On Saturday, Sandra’s granddaughter, Kaitlyn Patterson and her daughter, Lilliana, and Sandra’s daughter, Kim Austin, her husband, Ron, and their children, Luke, Claire, and Leah, joined the Patterson family to celebrate Samuel’s 13th birthday.

On Sunday, Sandra and the Patterson family attended services at the Eastview Christian Church.

While there they visited with Tim and Christy Maxey and Sarah Book Wills and her granddaughter. Tim Maxey and Sarah Book Wills are both from Pine Creek.

House together.

That took a big community effort to get Aplington House finished and yet Paul was ready to tackle another building. It takes someone to come along to “rally the troops� and Paul did just that.

After the purchase of the Burns House by Polo Historical Society, Paul worked tirelessly bringing this house back into good shape with the help of volunteers.

He was very knowledgeable about some of the unusual historic features of the house such as the hand-grained woodwork. His expertise was indeed valuable.

Then the Burns House became the new office of the Ogle County Tourism Bureau and now houses Blackhawk Waterways Convention & Visitors Bureau over four counties. Paul had really fostered tourism and Thursday night it was time to acknowledge what he had done.

Blackhawk Waterways presented $500 to Polo Historical Society in Paul’s name and a member of Paul’s family who could not be present for the evening matched the money.

Mike Faivre, president of Polo Historical Society, accepted checks for $1,000 in memory of Paul.

What a wonderful contribution to Paul’s memory.

Timber Creek Golf Club is went to Wheaton for a couple of days. Sandra stayed with her grandchildren, Claire and Leah Austin, while Kim and Ron took their son, Luke, to Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, where he will start his first year of college.

On Tuesday evening, I went to Pine Creek Christian Church for a worship committee meeting.

After meeting with Vicki Hay, Jean Cunningham, Larry Riffle, and Pastor Gregg Downs, I went home to celebrate Clint’s 16th birthday.

While I was gone, Stephanie, Matt, and Clint had gone to the movies together for Clint’s birthday.

When they got home, we continued the celebration with cake, candles, and gifts.

On Wednesday, Stephanie returned to St. Paul, Minn.

She was asked to model the blouse she designed from men’s ties at the Minnesota State Fair as part of the sustainable clothing project at a fashion show on Saturday.

This past Friday night, I attended the Meet the Marcos night at Polo Community High School.

The evening started with a dinner put on the by Polo Athletic Boosters followed by the introduction of the fall sports teams and then a football scrimmage on the field.

While the weather was unbearably hot, it was great to see the team out on the field welcoming the football season.

The golf team has already started their season and the volleyball teams will have their first matches

such a lovely place to hold a party with all the little lights and the decorations handled

by Blackhawk Waterways were outstanding.

It was nice just to dress up and have a great evening out. Obviously I have just not been out for a while this summer so I especially enjoyed it.

It was also interesting to hear what is going on in the area of tourism and the this week. Help support our local athletes.

After watching Clint on the football field, Matt came over and Clint and I helped celebrate Matt’s birthday.

Matt turned 19 this year.

Tonight, my brother, Ben Bittinger, his wife, Jo, and their sons, Hayden and Garrett came over to celebrate both Matt and Clint’s birthdays.

Our two families enjoyed cake and a game night. At the end of the night, the Bittinger family said their good-byes to Stephanie and wished her well as she will be traveling to London this Tuesday to study for the fall semester.

Clint, like most 16-yearolds couldn’t wait to get his license. So, on Tuesday morning, he went, passed his test, and walked away with a new kind of freedom.

In some ways, it makes my life a little easier because he is not dependent on me to drive him everywhere and in other ways it fills my time with more reasons to worry.

While I can’t be with him every minute of every day, there is someone who is, God. God is with us guiding us to make the right decisions.

My prayer for Clint is not only that God is with him, but that Clint is listening and obeying His ways.

I hope to see you at our little church in the country where we will welcome you with open arms.

Please join us for worship, where we sing our praises, pray for others, and learn more about our Amazing Father.

Our church family has room for you.

Golf for Wounded Warriors Silver Ridge Golf Course, Oregon, will hold a golf scramble to support the Wounded Warriors Project on Saturday, Aug. 30.

After the golf outing, Oregon VFW Post 8739 is holding a Hole In One Putting Contest at

the same golf course at about 1 p.m. at the putting course.

The cost of the contest will be $2 per ball or three for $5.

Those who get the largest number of golf balls in the short holes will then have a chance to putt at the longest

hole.

The winner will get a set of golf clubs and a golf bag.

The purpose of this contest is to help money for the renovation of the military memorial at the Ogle County Courthouse.

Switchback to perform Aug. 29 Fans of the popular Fifth Friday Music Shows at the historic H.I. Lincoln Building in Franklin Grove will hear Switchback, on Friday, Aug. 29. Two shows are scheduled, at 7 and 9 p.m.

Marty McCormack and Brian FitzGerald are known in North America, Ireland, and Italy. They will provide an evening of American Roots blended with Celtic Soul.

Playing over 200 engagements a year, Switchback has shared the stage with artists as diverse as The Moody Blues, Gaelic Storm, Leon Russell, and Lee Greenwood.

Equally at home in giant 15,000 seat stadiums or in intimate settings like Nashville’s Bluebird Café or Franklin Grove’s historic H.I. Lincoln Building, Switchback can connect with everyone who loves Irish music.

Volunteers are needed in the Oregon and Byron areas to help remove waste from the river.

Boaters, river land owners, Scout groups and other service organizations are needed to help pick up trash, as well as sort the waste and recyclables.

Student organizations can earn community service hours by helping out.

For this year’s event, organizers are seeking more involvement from motorboat, canoe, and kayak owners because they have better access to areas of the river which cannot be reached from the shoreline.

Mark Nehrkorn, section coordinator for the Oregon area stated, “The Rock River is such a beautiful asset that makes Ogle County and the Oregon area unique.

“We need to do what we can to protect and preserve it. The Rock River Sweep is a perfect opportunity to bring people together to do just that.”

With help from RockRiverSweep.org, the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department, the Oregon Park District, the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department, and American Rivers, the Oregon Area

Rock River Sweep will supply a limited number of gloves, trash bags, bug spray, and T-shirts.

Water and snacks will be available as well.

Participants are encouraged to wear long sleeves, long pants, and old shoes, and to bring a reusable water bottle to the event which can be refilled to reduce waste.

Last year, over 40 volunteers participated in the Oregon area sweep and collected around half a ton of waste which was sorted and recycled or disposed of properly.

For more information, contact Steve Rypkema at 815-732-4020 or srypkema@ oglecounty.org Rock River Sweep.org is a grass roots, not-for-profit organization founded in 2008 by Frank Masterman, and dedicated to preserving the health and ecosystem of the Rock River and its tributaries in Wisconsin and Illinois by partnering the communities along its banks into a unified, volunteer effort of river revitalization and annual clean-ups.

For more information visit www.rockriversweep.org, or on Facebook: Rock River Sweep.org.

Volunteers needed for sweep

Marty McCormack and Brian FitzGerald, known throughout North America, Ireland, and Italy as Switchback, bring their unique musical blend of American Roots blended with Celtic Soul to Franklin Grove’s historic H.I. Lincoln Building for two special Fifth Friday shows on August 29.

Tickets are available for a $10 donation by calling the H.I. Lincoln building at 815456-3030 daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., on Sundays from noon to 4 p.m., or stop by the H.I. Lincoln building during

the same hours.

Tickets may be available at the door, but seating is limited. Previous Switchback appearances have sold out in advance.

The Sixth Annual Rock River Sweep will be held on Saturday, Sept. 6.

The Oregon Area Rock River Sweep will be from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Checkin will begin at 7:30 a.m. at the intersection of North Second Street and Franklin Street (Kiwanis Park) behind Conover Square.

The group will clean up a seven-mile stretch of the river between Lowden State Park and Castle Rock State Park.

This event is an effort by many groups and communities along the Rock River from the Horicon Marsh in Wisconsin to the confluence with the Mississippi River in Rock Island, to clean up sections of the Rock River.

The Byron Area Sweep will be coordinated by Mike Challis and supported by the Byron Forest Preserve.

Volunteers for this area should meet at 10 a.m. at the park on River Road across from the Byron Forest Preserve entrance.

Those with canoes will be paddling up and downstream from there. Others will be cleaning up the shores by foot. Contact Challis at gardenermike@gmail.com for more information.

Natural Area, highlighting some of the oldest rock formations in Illinois.

The walk will begin at the Franklin Creek Grist Mill

parking lot, 1893 Twist Rd., Franklin Grove.

For information go to www.franklincreekgristmill. com.

Volunteers are needed to fill the position of Section Coordinator for the Sixth Annual Rock River Sweep, to be held on Saturday, Sept.

6.

Organizations, groups, clubs, businesses, and individuals are encouraged to volunteer in each of the communities along the Rock River.

Section Coordinators are currently planning clean-ups in the Horicon and Watertown areas of Wisconsin, and in the Rockton, Roscoe, Machesney Park, Loves Park, Rockford, Byron, and Oregon areas of Illinois.

However, many other areas along the Rock are in need of coordinators to plan local clean-ups.

The group is hoping to have more sections of the river cleaned up this year to continue to improve the quality of this beautiful river.

Larger communities may require multiple sub-sections and coordinators to head up each sub-section.

Some of the duties of the

Section Coordinator are as follows: Work with RockRiverSweep.org organizers to assure a uniform and successful clean-up.

Acquire clean-up supplies and other support from local businesses, (T-shirts, gloves, flyers, waste disposal, etc).

Work with local media to recruit volunteers for their section for the clean-up day.

Work with neighboring section coordinators to prevent overlapping of sections.

Use the “Organizer’s Handbook” (provided by RockRiverSweep.org) to assure a successful clean-up effort.

Register their section of the Rock River Sweep with RockRiverSweep.org and with American Rivers.

AmericanRivers.org may supply free trash bags if registered in advance.

Recruit, assemble, and register volunteers for the event and assign areas to clean-up.

Coordinate ‘post-clean-

up’ recyclable-sort and trash disposal.

Arrange for proper disposal or recycling of all materials collected.

Report clean-up results to RockRiverSweep. org organizers and American Rivers.

Section coordinators will be planning and conducting the clean-up in their local section, but will be doing it as part of a much larger group.

Limited grant funds of up to $100 per clean-up section are available from RockRiverSweep.org to cover costs such as trash bags, gloves, and waste disposal costs.

For more information or to register as a Section Coordinator for the 2014 Rock River Sweep, e-mail contact@rockriversweep. org, visit www. rockriversweep.org.

Polo - Forreston Beat

Tri-County Press, Forreston Journal Thursday, August 28, 2014, Page A9

www.oglecountynews.com

Polo graduate designed shirt for Paint the Town Holly Scholl, a junior at Augustana College, Rock Island, has competed in and won a major design competition.

Scholl, a 2012 Polo Community High School graduate, is the daughter of Mark and Kathy Scholl, Polo.

Holly is currently majoring in graphic design.

Last spring, the Children’s Art and Preservation Association(CAPA), Morrison, was looking for a new and more trendy design for their largely popular event, Paint the Town.

Two thousand six-inch squares are painted with creative artwork on Main Street by children and painters of all ages during Paint the Town, held annually in Morrison.

This essentially turns Main Street into one large canvas.

For the past 15 years, Polo high schoolers have joined forces with the Morrison

high schoolers in painting 30 window fronts of downtown businesses.

Scholl was one of the students who went with her art teacher, Jamie Harmon, and classmates for her four years of high school to participate.

The event held a place in her heart as a tradition.

Since the event’s T-shirt design can be one of the most difficult items for the CAPA board to decide upon, they decided a design competition would be the route to go.

With many entries, Scholl’s vibrant design was chosen as the winner. “We just knew the children and children at heart would gravitate towards this glowing design,� said Barb Bees, president of the CAPA Board.

Harmon is a member of the CAPA board, and she knew from the start that Scholl had what it took to compete against many professional artists in the

same field. “Holly was one of my many stand-out art students throughout high school, and as soon as I knew the board was offering up a competition, I was sure she was the gal for the job. She has a creative head on her shoulders and I am positive she will excel in the career she has chosen. This is just the start of what we will see from Ms. Scholl’s talents.�

Paint the Town is in its 20th year. Starting way back in 1994, the event has grown from 350 squares to 2000 squares.

The event will be held on Saturday, Sept. 20.

The registration fee of $8 includes the six-inch square, a T-shirt designed by Scholl, paints, brushes and free entertainment all day long.

Anyone interested in participating, should visit Holly Scholl, Polo, left, and her high school art teacher Jamie Harmon hold the T-shirt Scholl designed for Morrison’s Paint the Town. Scholl’s design won the T-shirt www.paintthetownmorrison. contest. Photo supplied com.

Vedra Scramble will be held Saturday, Sept. 13 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 further information please call Forreston State Bank at 815-938-3121 or the Forrestville Valley School District at 815-938-2036

The staff of Serenity Hospice and Home, Oregon, put on their shorts and T-shirts Aug. 22 and took the ALS ice bucket challenge.

More than a dozen, including executive director Lynn Knodle, braved a dousing with ice water in memory of the patients and families afflicted with the disease who they have served.

“No one can fully understand the devastating effects of ALS [amyotrophic lateral sclerosis] more than those who are living with this disease or those who are caring for those who are living with it,” Knodle said.

The challenge took place in gardens that were planted at the Serenity Home in memory of an ALS patient who spent many months being cared for and loved by the staff.

The staff members stood in a circle inside the gazebo and in turn were soaked with ice water before dumping a bucket on the next person in line.

Millions of dollars for ALS research have been raised nationwide and daily the amount increases significantly because of the ALS challenge.

Serenity Hospice and Home staff added $260 to the cause.

On behalf of the staff at Serenity Hospice and Home, Knodle named the staff of KSB Hospital,

ALS, often referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease,” is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the

brain and the spinal cord.

Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body.

The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to death.

Talented roster will push Lady Cardinals higher

By Chris Johnson Reporter With eight seniors on the varsity roster, the Forreston Lady Cardinals appear to have the experience needed to compete this season.

Coach Lori Wellington said the team is excited for the 2014 season.

“We would like to peak for the postseason,” she said. “The girls are willing to work hard.”

This year the Lady Cardinals are in IHSA Class 2A competition.

Over the past few seasons the team has been between 1A and 2A. “We hold our own against every team we play,” said Wellington.

“We can compete with any team.”

As usual Freeport Aquin will be the team to beat this season.

“We will be fighting for the top

spot this year,” Wellington said.

The first match for Forreston is Sept. 4 and the extra practice time is helping the coach finalize the starting roster.

“I am still looking to finalize the starters,” said Wellington. “Only two players have had significant playing time on varsity, but they are all quickly adapting. They are good kids this year.”

With a senior heavy roster, Wellington knows the team will be hungry to win.

For the future the fresh-soph team has players with talent that will eventually rise through the ranks and once their skills are developed will help the Lady Cardinals when the senior class graduates.

“Across the board the volleyball program is good,” said Wellington. “It is fun to go to Forreston senior Emily Edler went down on her knees for the dig Aug. 22 during the annual scrimmage game. Photo by Chris Johnson practice.”

Fall golf season is in full swing Despite only having finished a few days of school, the Forreston golf team has competed in numerous matches so far in the young season.

The Cardinals traveled to Byron Aug. 23 to compete in the Byron Tiger Invite.

Forreston finished in third behind first place Byron and second place Princeton.

Leading the way for Forreston was Markus Edler with an 88. He went out in 43 and in 45.

Only one stroke behind was Bryan Edler with an 89.

He went out in 46 and in 43.

Nathan Schneiderman finished with a score of 105.

Other Forreston scores were Nathan Stukenberg with 113, Nolan Edler with 113, Naeva Gronewold with 134, Mitchell Bratina with 102, and Kaitlin Korf with a 106.

The duo of Mitchell and Kaitlin combined for a best ball total round of 93.

The duo of Nolan and Naeva combined for a best ball total round of 104.

For the final team totals the top individual scores were selected from the top 4 scores on the team. The rest

of the team was paired up in pairs and used best ball to determine the fourth score used to determine the team finish.

The Cardinals also traveled to Wolf Hollow in Lena to take on Le-Win and Dakota.

Forreston came away with the clear victory with a combined 192 strokes.

Dakota was second with 232 and Le-Win had 239.

The tournament was a nine hole event.

Leading the way for Forreston was Markus Edler with a 42.

Bryan Edler finished with a 48.

They stay on the road Sept. 8 against Dixon and the Marcos return home Sept. 9 to face Pearl City.

subscribe to the notion of bad luck, but can say that Byron has caught more than share of bad breaks recently.

They had 7-point heartbreaking losses to conference champ Winnebago and also Stillman.

Oregon nipped the Tigers by three points.

Two big positives for the upcoming season are: a.) no more 4-hour bus rides to Nekooska, Wis. for a nonconference game, b.) goodsized linemen.

With so many variables, it is hard to say where Oregon will finish. As mentioned earlier, the first three weeks will set the tone for the year.

It essential that Oregon gets off to a fast start before jumping into the fray of the BNC west.

Key games for conference supremacy and/or playoff implications:

Andy Colbert Aug. 29 — East Dubuque at Polo Sept. 26 — Aquin at Polo, Geneseo at Rochelle Oct. 3 — Byron at Oregon, Forreston at Le-Win Oct. 17 — Oregon at Mendota, Stillman at Rockford Lutheran Oct. 24 — Forreston at EPC

Sports Column All teams have a shot to make the playoffs

By Andy Colbert Reporter In the 40 years that the IHSA has contested the football state playoffs, 2006 was the only time that every school in Ogle County made the post season. Could 2014 be the second time that this occurs?

Stillman Valley, Rochelle and Forreston appear to be locks, while Oregon, Polo and Byron have better than average chances to do the same.

How good Stillman Valley is can best be asked by asking how good its program is?

There is a difference between the year-to-year talents of a team versus an overall program.

Last year, SV’s talent was on par or less than virtually every team they faced from

the first playoff round on.

Furthermore, of the six state finalists that Mike Lalor has coached, the 2013 version was easily the least talented.

So how were the Cardinals able to win the state title?

Because that program has an intangible that most other teams don’t. They play tremendously in pressurepacked situations and find ways to win games.

It’s as much mental as physical for them.

SV, who has a hard time finding teams to play them, gets a great test in the first week against Chicago Phillips. Last year, Phillips beat the No. 1 seed in the 4A playoffs and follows the Stillman game by playing suburban powers Mundelein Carmel and Naperville North the next two weeks.

Rochelle gets a scheduling break by joining a revamped version of the North Illinois Big 12, which is really only 10 teams, now that Dixon and Streator are gone. Instead of being in a division with

Congratulations to all area football teams!

Community Banking at its best

powerhouses Kaneland, Sycamore and Morris, the Hubs move to the west side with gentler, softer opponents.

Look for Rochelle to sweep division foes Sterling, Ottawa and Lasale-Peru and battle with long-time rival Geneseo for the conference title. This year marks the first time since 1981 that Rochelle and Geneseo have been in the same conference division for football.

Forreston has been on a roll as of late and that success should continue into this year. The main concern for Forreston is being part of the toughest 1A conference in the state.

That’s not conjecture. That can be documented by the looking at the results of the playoffs for the past decade or so.

As I covered Forreston’s playoff run of 2012, I remember being impressed with the size and talent of the sophomores, especially Robert DeVries, and

wondering if they would be state-championship caliber in a couple years.

Well, that time is now and it will be quite interesting to see how things shake out between EPC, Le-Win, Galena and Forreston in the NUIC. Polo is somewhat in the same situation on their side of the conference, though not as drastically at the top. That first game with East Dubuque will say a lot on where the Marcos stand.

A win would be huge and really set the tone for the rest of the season. Even with a loss, Polo has the potential to go 6-3.

There is a much-ballyhooed junior class at Polo that many in that town are hoping can take the team back to the glory days of Marco football.

This team is a year away, but it might as well get some playoff familiarity by making a post-season run this fall.

Byron is another program trying to regain its status as a grid stalwart. I don’t

Three species will be protected under new state law The gray wolf, American black bear, and mountain lion (cougar) will come under the protection of the Illinois Wildlife Code on Jan. 1, Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) Director Marc Miller announced Monday.

Senate Bill 3049, signed

by Gov. Pat Quinn, gives the IDNR the authority to manage these species for the protection of both wildlife and public safety.

All three species were present when settlers arrived in Illinois, but were all but gone from the state by the mid-1800s.

Due to improved legal protections and habitat restoration, these species are returning to some of their former range in the eastern United States.

“Wolves, mountain lions, and black bears have been absent from Illinois for more than 150 years. As the populations of these animals continue to grow, we expect to see occasional individuals dispersing from their current

ranges into Illinois,” Miller said. “I want to thank Governor Quinn and bill sponsors Sen. Linda Holmes and Rep. Kelly Cassidy for their leadership. This law gives the department the ability to create long-term management goals and to draft response protocols on managing human-wildlife conflicts with these three species.”

SB 3049 allows landowners to take a black bear or mountain lion if there is an imminent threat to lives and property.

The law also allows landowners to apply for a nuisance permit to remove an animal that is not an immediate threat.

The gray wolf already receives legal protection in Illinois from both the U.S. and Illinois Endangered Species Acts.

In these instances, endangered species law will be followed.

Due to its federal protection, rules for taking a gray wolf south of Interstate

80 are more stringent.

South of Interstate 80, gray wolves may not be taken unless they present an imminent threat to people.

Any other taking requires state and federal permits.

The gray wolf already receives legal protection in Illinois from both the U.S. and Illinois Endangered Species Acts.

In these instances, endangered species law will be followed.

Common questions about SB3049: Is Illinois encouraging the return of large predators?

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources is not actively working to restore gray wolves, American black bears, or mountain lions to Illinois.

However, IDNR recognizes that occasional individual animals are likely to make their way here.

A month-long visit to northern Illinois by a black bear in June demonstrated the benefits of cooperation among

state and local government entities in monitoring the bear, but allowing it remain a wild animal.

The passage of SB3049 is a first necessary step that allows the department to develop formal rules and protocols to manage these species.

What will IDNR do to manage wolves, bears, and mountain lions?

Right now, IDNR biologists and the Illinois Conservation Police are working together to develop protocols for addressing interactions between people and wolves, bears, and mountain lions.

Conservation Police will share this information

with local law enforcement agencies, the likely firstresponders in the event of a sighting or nuisance call.

Currently, Illinois Conservation Police officers are allowing these animals to go on their way unless they pose a threat.

What are the chances of populations of wolves, black bears, and mountain lions becoming established in Illinois?

Re-colonization by these species is possible although Illinois has relatively little suitable habitat in large enough blocks to support these animals.

According to habitat models, only about 14.7

percent of Illinois’ area is suitable for black bears, 6.6 percent for mountain lions, and 14 percent for gray wolves.

What can Illinois residents do to be prepared for encounters with these species?

Property owners can avoid encounters with wildlife by securing potential food sources, including pet food, barbecue grills, trash and other sources.

Bird feeders can be taken down temporarily in the event of a local sighting.

Obituaries Frances M. O’Brien Frances Marie O’Brien, 83, Oregon, died peacefully on Sunday, Aug. 24, 2014 at Serenity Hospice Home in Oregon with her children by her side following a courageous fight through various illnesses over the past year.

Frances was a loving and cherished wife, mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, sister, and friend.

Her family will miss her warm laugh and loving smile.

She was born on June 23, 1931 in White Rock Township, the daughter of Harold and Bertha (Todd) Slagle.

Frances and her brothers, Harold and Charles were raised in Oregon and she was a 1949 graduate of Oregon High School.

Frances married the love of her life, Roy O’Brien, on June 16, 1951.

Their children Ed, Kathy, Randy, Cindy, Dave, Sandy and Steve were their pride and joy.

She cherished time spent with her 10 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.

She proudly displayed photos of each and every child on her living room wall and always had a story to share about their visits.

Frances held several positions in her career days including working as a secretary at Bryant Buildings, Conover Shoes and Kable News.

Her talents included creating beautiful quilts, knitting blankets, hats, and scarves, and creating dolls and other crafted items.

She and Roy spent many of their days preparing beautiful items for their craft booth at Autumn on Parade.

When she wasn’t crafting for the event, she enjoyed attending with her family.

She especially loved spending afternoons sipping coffee with her friends at McDonalds.

Her grandchildren will surely miss her waffles made from scratch.

Her fondest memories included camping trips, many visits to Branson, enjoying

Lila V. Kaufman Lila V. Kaufman, 87, Oregon, died peacefully in her home along the Rock River on Friday, August 8, 2014 after a short illness.

Lila was born on June 30, 1927 on her family farm in Polo.

Her shining eyes and red hair foretold of the amazing life and legacy this feisty woman would lead.

Her stories of milking goats before school, riding horses to school, and of course her favorite story of meeting the love of her life, Bill Kaufman, her freshmen year of high school, will remain in our memories forever.

They married on April 25, 1946. Lila and Bill’s life adventures would bring her from farming in Polo and Mt. Morris, to meat shop processors, and finally to grocery store owners.

Lila’s biggest loves, next to her husband, were her family.

Lila enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

One might find her hosting a family gathering, riding bikes, playing cards, rowing on the Rock River or sitting

on the porch viewing the Black Hawk Statue.

Lila’s life was amazing, she always said, and was grateful to God for it.

She was a treasure to everyone who knew her, a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, mother-in-law, and friend.

Lila is survived by sons, daughters, daughters-in-law,

grandchildren and greatgrandchildren who will miss her immensely.

A memorial service to celebrate her life was held on Sunday, Aug. 10 for family and close friends at her home along the river she dearly loved.

Memorials for the Pinecrest Community will be collected by the family in Lila’s name.

Clear sailing for 91-year-old Mt. Morris woman From A1 When asked if she was afraid of heights Morris smiled and responded, “Evidently not. I’ve got a lot of encouragement and support from everyone who knew I was doing this. Most of them said they wouldn’t do it, but I told them they should do it when they are 91.

“I’ve got one younger brother, but then everybody’s younger than me. I’m excited and a little nervous, but I’m ready to go,” she said bursting into a hearty laugh.

Her next step was heading to the large hangar where she was fitted into her harness under the skillful direction of Piccolo. “You are doing great,” he said while going over jump details and answering questions from her extended family.

Morris’ granddaughter Emily Severson, from Elgin, held a sign that said “Caution Flying Grandma”.

Morris had posed earlier with Emily and her daughter Lela Wissing (Emily’s mom) and Emily’s two-month-old daughter Bekka, for a fourthgeneration photo.

Dorothy and her niece Kathy, who rode along in the plane’s cockpit for support, where the first of a dozen or so people to board the plane that sported “Perfectly Good Airplane” on its side.

Morris waved to her family and friends from the airplane door.

As the plane climbed along with temperatures nearing the 90s, Morris’ younger brother and last remaining sibling, Frank Stomberg, 77, Rockford, watched. He too, was not surprised by his sister’s decision to try skydiving.

“There’s not much I can say. She has a mind of her own. If our mother Lela Mae was here today she’d say ‘wait for me’. Dorothy is cut from the same cloth,” he said.

Lela May lived to be 105, another family member pointed out.

Stomberg said his only real

concern was whether or not his sister was going to try and top this next year when she turns 92 in January.

“She read about the bucket list and I don’t know if this is it or not,” he said. “If not, it scares me on what may be next. There were 9 of us growing up and now there’s only 2 left.”

Most of the skydivers riding in the plane with Morris exited at 9,000 feet.

The plane then circled again and at 14,000 feet Michael Squires, a videographer and instructor who was filming Morris’ feat, exited the plane closely followed by Morris and Piccolo, with a bright teal parachute behind them.

Morris’ “entourage” watched from the viewing tent as their matriarch made soft spirals in the blue sky on a sunny, humid day.

Carolyn and Doreen White, two of Dorothy’s Mt. Morris buddies, held a sign that read: “It’s a Bird. It’s a Plane. It’s Dorothy!”.

Cheers could be heard as the pair landed.

“When I come in for a Dorothy Morris and her tandem skydiving instructor Paul Piccolo, navigate to the landing area. Photo by Earleen Hinton landing I really show them how to do it,” Morris said while sitting in the grass.

“Now you know why the birds sing!,” exclaimed another skydiver, who landed after Morris.

“It was ice cold and then suddenly warm,” Morris said as she prepared to meet her entourage.

“I made it Frank,” she said before giving her brother a big hug.

“What’s next, deep sea diving?,” asked another friend.

“No, nothing with water,” Morris shot back.

After getting a large ice water, Morris reflected on her first skydive.

Dorothy’s brother, Frank “It was quite different than Stomberg, gives his big I expected, but in a good sister a big hug prior to her way. I didn’t expect it to be skydive. Photo by that thrilling. It’s so nice Earleen Hinton everyone came out today… such an entourage. I love being with all these people,” she said.

Not the oldest skydiver for center Dorothy Morris isn’t the oldest person to skydive at the Chicagoland Skydiving Center in Rochelle.

Douglas Smith, CEO and president of the company, said the center has had a 99-year-old skydive.

“He started skydiving at 90 and wanted to jump every year on his birthday and he made it to 99,” Smith said. “He didn’t make 100 because he died, but not from skydiving.”

Smith said weekends are the busiest times for the center.

“We have a hundred people today,” he said on Sunday.

“You really need reservations if you want to jump on a weekend.”

The skydiving season is seven days a week, from April 1 to mid-November, and is always dependent on weather.

Jumpers can choose to skydive from three heights 9,000 feet, 14,000 feet, and 18,000 feet. Tandem skydiving prices from 14,000 feet are around $200 with additional costs for photos and/or video.

Byron athletic complex has a new name Recently, the Byron Board of Education approved a recommendation from the Byron Hall of Fame committee to name the athletic complex on the west side of the campus after longtime administrator, coach, and educator, Joe Parks.

The Byron Hall of Fame committee received many requests from community members and former players.

Parks served the Byron School District as a teacher, coach, athletic director and administrator for 37 years.

During his tenure at Byron, Parks coached football, baseball, cross country, basketball, and track and field.

He served as the Byron head basketball coach from 1955 to 1970, and won five championships.

In 1968, Parks became the athletic director and Middle School principal, where he remained until his retirement in 1084.

For all that he has done and the example he set, the community of Byron will forever be indebted to Coach Parks for his selfless service to the young student/athletes that he served.

Byron High School will dedicate the athletic complex to Parks at its first home football game on Friday, Sept. 5.

The dedication ceremonies will begin in between the sophomore and varsity football games.

Former players and coaches will speak in tribute to Parks.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A hasty decision could turn out badly if you haven’t checked your sources. Before you proceed, check to see if someone with ulterior motives has misled you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Procrastination will be your downfall. You have decided on your direction, so don’t waste
