Bowman is named Polo’s Citizen of the Year

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Polo’s 2015 Citizen of the Year said that while he and his family appreciate the award, they are not seeking recognition.

“My family and I truly appreciate this,” said Mike Bowman. “But what we’re about is trying to save lives and change lives.”

He was named the 26th Citizen of the Year Monday night at the Polo Chamber of Commerce’s annual dinner held at Barnacopia.

Bowman said he and his wife Kim were completely taken by surprise when his name was announced by presenter Mike Faivre.

“It’s the first time we’ve ever come to the dinner,” he said as well-wishers crowded around him for hugs and handshakes. “We decided to come at the last minute. I

had a hand in building this [Barnacopia] so I thought why not?”

He is the owner of Bowman Electric, a family business.

Faivre said Bowman was nominated by several individuals for his efforts to bring awareness to post traumatic stress disorder and suicide prevention for soldiers returning from combat.

“Mike testified to the House Committee on Veterans Affairs and has tirelessly pushed for reforms after losing his son Tim to suicide in 2005,” one letter read. “Mike battled through the emotions of his testimony and has championed on to help those returning from war.”

Tim Bowman was a decorated combat veteran who had served in Iraq. He took his own life in November of 2005 after returning home.

Festival will flashback to the 1970s in Oregon Autumn on Parade is Oct. 3-4

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com

Market and Craft Show, held Saturday and Sunday, and Harvest Time Parade, held on Sunday, should not disappoint with more than 165 booths taking part.

“Starting last fall our sixperson committee has gone to many other craft shows trying to bring in quality homemade items to this years craft show” said Lisa Boehle, co-chairman of the Farmer’s Market and Craft Show.

Through cooperation with Ogle County and city officials, the booths will be located on the historic courthouse lawn and on surrounding city streets offering a variety of arts and crafts ranging from handmade wood items to homemade baked breads.

On Sunday, the Harvest Time Parade, has more than

125 entries including 12 bands.

“It’s going to be one of the largest parades ever. We have 15 to 20 more entries than last year. Most of the favorites will be back, like the South Shore Drill Team and the Jesse White Tumblers. Besides that we have several high school marching bands and novelty entries like a rocket cycle, stilt walkers, and many other entries,” Snow said.

A post parade show by the South Shore Drill Team will again be offered on Sunday, at the conclusion of the main parade on Jefferson Street in front of the Oregon library.

Also back again this year will be agriculture broadcast legend Max Armstrong, a perennial crowd-pleaser, who will drive his wellTurn to A3

Mt. Morris pharmacy could open in 6 to 9 months

By Kathleen Schultz Sauk Valley Media TelePharm officials recently announced plans to open an online pharmacy downtown Mt. Morris, in a portion of the building that houses the Main Street Bistro at 12 W. Main St. Economic Development Committee member Rob Urish told the village board about the plan on Sept. 22.

It could take six to nine months to get up and running; the hope is to open this winter, TelePharm officials said.

The company also has been reaching out to various

other small towns that may be stranded in a “pharmacy desert.” It is in the talking stage with Ashton, in Lee County, and has progressed in Erie in Whiteside County to the point where they are looking for a location, TelePharm’s Greg Janes said.

Walnut in Bureau County has declined to get involved, but the company does have commitments from several other communities, including Sheffield, also in Bureau County, Cambridge in Henry County, and Waterman in DeKalb County, Janes said.

A privately owned telepharmacy, which uses TelePharm software, recently

opened in Lanark in Carroll County.

The Iowa City, Iowa-based company, which launched in 2012, also planned to open a telepharmacy in Milledgeville, but pulled out of the deal.

Neither company or village officials have publicly stated why plans fell through.

In a telepharmacy, a pharmacist online and offsite inspects and verifies prescriptions, which are dispensed by on-site technicians, often the same day. Customers can order in person or online, then pick up the prescription. They also have the ability to talk with

the off-site pharmacist.

Such pharmacies are designed for small, rural communities, to save patients long drives to get medication, or drives made treacherous by bad weather.

Mt. Morris has been without a pharmacy since Felker Pharmacy closed several years ago.

In addition to dispensing medications, the pharmacy plans to add medication therapy management, immunization clinics, and health education sessions, the company said in a news release.

“Mt. Morris Pharmacy will focus on community

health and hold monthly events to educate residents on preventative health practices,” the release read.

According to its website, TelePharm’s business model is to ask for a commitment from the communities in which they locate.

Mt. Morris investors are putting up $50,000, and TelePharm has committed $200,000 to $250,000 to remodel the site, which it will rent from Dave and Maggie Johnson, and set up the business, Urish said Sept. 23.

That’s the same agreement the company had with Milledgeville, where about a half-dozen private investors

raised the needed $50,000.

Officials there said the deal was finalized Aug. 14, but confirmed the agreement’s demise on Sept. 14.

Urish is confident the Mt. Morris deal will stand. The paperwork has been signed, the i’s dotted, he said.

The Lanark Pharmacy opened July 31 downtown.

Kip and Karrie Sabinson, Warren, own it and the Warren Pharmacy. Karrie is a registered pharmacist, she approves the prescriptions.

That pharmacy also sells a full line of over-the-counter products, vitamins, and, soon, Hallmark greeting cards.

Bowman raises awareness for PTSD From A1 He was just 23 years old.

The nomination letters praised Bowman for turning his own grief into compassion and caring for others.

“Mike shows his great character and compassion for others through his volunteer work with Patriot Guard Riders,” a letter read. “He has attended countless funerals of our fallen soldiers and is a huge help to the families experiencing the worst times of their lives.”

One writer, the mother of a soldier killed in action in Afghanistan, called Bowman 2015 Citizen of the Year Mike Bowman, right, gets her hero.

“In the midst of his own pain and grief, he was able to offer us comfort and safety and I will never forget that,” read a third letter from the mother of a fallen Marine.

“Thank you for your service to others,” Faivre told Bowman when presenting the award. “Polo is very proud of you.”

Another Polo native was

also honored at the dinner for his community service.

Kurt Cavanaugh chosen to receive the Carole Nettz Volunteer of the Year Award.

The award was presented by his lifelong friend and college roommate Mark Scholl.

Both Bowman and Cavanaugh received standing ovations from the crowd attending the event.

Scholl related incidents from their years of growing up together.

“We used to play cops and robbers. Kurt was the

cop and I was the bad guy,” Scholl remembered.

He drew a laugh from the audience when he continued.

“Kurt had a 27-year career with the Illinois State Police, and I became a Polo alderman and mayor,” Scholl said.

On a serious note, Faivre called for a moment of silence to remember Judy Bocker, Polo, who died on Sept. 25 after a long battle with cancer.

Bocker and her husband Gary are the owners of Barnacopia.

Saturday was a day to see the volleyball teams play

By Betty Obendorf Curator Polo Historical Society This week I mixed all together genealogy, hats, and volleyball. I do much better on genealogy and hats than volleyball although I did play volleyball at Northern Illinois University.

Those were the days when you had P.E. programs and you were expected to take part since that was in your curriculum.

Even if you were an older person like I was at the time.

I did all right in the sport volleyball and that is why I enjoy watching it now.

So this past weekend I spent the entire day at Polo High School watching eight teams play volleyball and my granddaughter was part of one of the varsity teams.

I would not make a good coach since I would be a bit unhappy when some still do not get the ball over the net on their serve.

If they have come up through the ranks from sixth grade I would figure that is a given by the time you are a junior or a senior.

Also when you make a mistake that costs your team a point, and you laugh about it, that would upset me if I were a coach.

But I am told that the smiles and happiness of the team keeps up the spirit of the team so perhaps I am wrong in my way of thinking.

When I see Lori in college basketball miss making a basket, I do not see a smile on her face and the thought

Meeting is Oct. 8 The Polo Historical Society will hold its monthly meeting on Thursday, Oct. 8.

Those attending will meet at the history museum at 6:45 p.m. and go to the home of Lyle and Melody Reap to tour Lyle’s fishing museum. of maybe I will make it next time.

Instead I see determination and seriousness of trying harder next time and that makes me feel better as a grandmother. As I said, I would never make a coach.

So where I am in finding people and researching hats is the best place for me and that is what I did this week.

One lady is looking for John Mulnix who had land on section 19 in Buffalo Township.

She has a dwelling number that probably came off of a census record of 1860. But those records did not give addresses and we have no way of knowing where that dwelling might have been.

It suddenly dawned on me that William Mulnix was killed in the fall of the lime kiln on July 2, 1870.

He lived in Old Town or Buffalo Grove.

She had not come across that name so far. I wonder if there was a connection. She also was connected to the Sweet family that was part of the Old Baptist Church.

That was where the Doty

School stood. Was the Doty School the actual Old Baptist Church? After the Old School Baptist Church phased out people were still be buried out of the Doty School.

The next person this week was researching the Reynolds and Sanford family. I have lots of material on the Sanford family and we are still in the midst of going through all that.

We did find her great grandfather George Reynolds listed in Kett’s 1878 History and he married Rozelle Sanford. He was a plasterer.

She still wonders why he came to Polo to plaster our walls here in the 1850s? Why did he not stay in the east? I had trouble convincing her that Polo was the hub of activity in that day and age.

People went where the action was and it was right here in Polo.

I decided this week to start going through the hats since we have way too many.

Which ones are valuable and need to be saved?

I kept running across the name of Glen Over made

by Henry Pollack. When I researched him I found he goes way back to 1916 and he had 74 years as a milliner.

His hats on the Internet sell for a good price.

Obviously I have to look at these hats a little more and the history behind them.

We have several name hats that sell for quite a bit on the Internet so this will take some time and I must not be in a hurry.

Fundraiser will be held The team at First State Bank Shannon-Polo-Lake Carroll will hold it fifth annual fundraiser to fight and raise funds to find a cure for breast cancer this month.

Plans this year include a 50/50 raffle, a Chinese auction, a bake sale and a

door prize giveaway.

The 50/50 raffle ticket sales will take place Oct. 1-16. The Chinese auction items will be on display in the lobby of the Polo facility during that same time.

The main event will be held on Friday, Oct. 16.

A bake sale will be held beginning at 9 a.m., and the winners of all events will be announced at 3 p.m.

All proceeds go directly to Serenity Hospice and Home in Oregon.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

This past Tuesday evening, I attended the Polo Council of Churches meeting at East Jordan United Methodist Church. There is much work to be done in our faith community. With many hands working together, we will accomplish much.

Also joining the meeting from Pine Creek were Pastor Gregg Downs and Bill Hare.

Bill is planning another trip to Honduras and is planning an upcoming afternoon presentation on the ongoing Honduras project.

On Friday evening, I attended the football game as the Polo Marcos defeated the team from Warren. This particular game was set aside to raise awareness for

breast cancer.

The players wore pink socks and the cheerleaders wore pink hair ribbons for the occasion.

During halftime, the Polo Athletic Boosters honored survivors and remembered those who lost their battle with cancer. Our own, Judy Nettz was escorted by two of her grandchildren, Maddie and Carson Jones.

Balloons were released after the introductions.

On Saturday afternoon, Clint and I went to the home of my brother, Ben Bittinger, his wife, Jo, and their sons, Hayden and Garrett for a birthday celebration for Hayden and me. Hayden is now fifteen with his driving permit.

I really look forward to watching my two nephews as they grow into nice young men. We had a wonderful afternoon of visiting with

The group meets the first Wednesday of every month at the center.

Christine Novak, MA, LCPC and Lisa Jensen MS, ED, licensed professional counselors from Changes Counseling in Rochelle, will be guest speakers at the meeting. Their presentation will focus on stress management and coping with the challenges of a chronic disease.

This support group is free and appropriate for anyone who is diagnosed with diabetes, and their family members, to help them learn more.

For more information call Marilyn Csernus at 815-7322191 or email at mcsernus@ illinois.edu.

Flu vaccinations are recommended Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Director Nirav D. Shah, M.D., J.D. is recommending that everyone older than six months be vaccinated against influenza.

The flu season in Illinois typically starts around October and can last up to May. The flu vaccine is becoming available at many local health departments, pharmacies, and health clinics around the state.

“The single most effective way to prevent getting the flu is an annual flu shot,” said Shah.

“Influenza is a serious illness and can be fatal. Even healthy people get the flu each year, so it’s important for everyone to be vaccinated.

“Being vaccinated will not only help protect you, but it will help protect people at higher risk of severe illness such as the elderly.”

The flu vaccine is easier to get than ever. The vaccine comes in the traditional form of a flu shot, but for people who don’t like needles, there is an intradermal vaccine given with a much smaller needle, or a nasal spray.

There are also a highdose vaccine for people age 65 years and older and a recombinant (egg-free) vaccine.

The vaccine is also becoming easier to get as more places, like workplaces, are offering the vaccine, and pharmacies are open earlier and close later to help people with busy schedules.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports the availability of more influenza vaccine this year than ever before.

Manufactures are making more than 171 million doses, 40 million of which have already been distributed across the country.

Overall, CDC estimates that 47 percent of the U.S. population age six months and older was vaccinated during the 2014-2015 season, similar to the 20132014 season and up from an estimated 41 percent five years ago.

The severity of a flu season is unpredictable because flu viruses are constantly changing.

“Occasionally, flu viruses will change substantially after they are included in the vaccine, William Schaffner, M.D., medical director of the National Foundation of Infectious Disease said.

“This can result in lower than usual vaccine effectiveness, which is what happened last season.

“But this season’s vaccine has been updated and vaccination is always our first and best defense in fighting flu and protecting public health.”

Each season, flu causes millions of illnesses, hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations and thousands or sometimes tens of thousands of deaths.

“The best defense is a good offense, and the best offense is getting a flu shot.”

Caregiver support group forming Rock River Center is forming a caregiver support group on the first Tuesday of the month beginning Oct. 6 from 10 to 11 a.m. at the center, 810 S. 10th St., Oregon.

Patti Kilmer, an Alzheimer’s Association trained facilitator, will lead the support group.

Participants do not need to be caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s to join the group.

Senior citizens caring for a spouse, adults caring for parents or grandparents, friends caring for older adults in the neighborhood,

or grandparents caring for grandchildren are all examples of caregivers.

Caregivers many times do not realize that they are, in fact, caregivers. Family caregiving is very common and involves giving many different kinds of care and help.

Some examples are taking the older person to the doctor, or shopping for groceries.

Helping with dressing or bathing, managing the checkbook, paying bills, providing meals, etc.

Many caregivers provide care with no outside assistance; however, support

services for caregivers are available. Information and assistance, education, support groups, and respite care can delay nursing home placement and provide relief for caregivers.

While caring for a loved one can bring great satisfaction, and many consider it a privilege to give back to one who has once cared so lovingly for them, the mental and physical strains associated with caregiving tend to “mount up”, especially when the caregiver also has responsibilities to a job and/ or childcare.

Support groups offer many things to caregivers, including coping strategies, peer support, and resource education.

All are invited to the group, including those who are new to caregiving, those who anticipate caregiving, and those for whom caregiving is already a way of life.

Information, resources, encouragement and answers to difficult questions will Coffee will be served.

35th Annual Bazaar and chicken noodle soup lunch The Freeport Church of the Brethren will hold its 35th Annual Country Store Bazaar and chicken noodle soup lunch on Thursday, Oct. 8, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The church is located at 777 W. Pleasant St. at the corner of S. West Ave. or Ill. 26.

The lunch includes homemade chicken noodle soup, roll, gelatin salad, cake, and beverage for $7.

Carry outs are available at no additional charge. Tickets for children ages 4-10 are $3.

Bazaar items include a complete line of baked goods such as pies, breads, cakes, cookies, and candy, jam, plants, crafts, homemade noodles.

Fall produce including pumpkins, squash, dried flowers, potatoes, and gourds will also be available.

“This event has come a long way in 35 years,” said church member Alice Dahms.

“I can remember when my mother, Arlene Richtemeyer, made all the noodles by hand when we first started.”

Dahms also recalls how her normally quiet mother commented to a reporter that “We don’t just run a chicken through the soup and toss in a few noodles. It’s thick enough to eat with a fork!”

And so the tradition began. Now, 15-20 volunteers make noodles with 34 dozen eggs to net over 300 halfpound bags for sale, using an electric mixer, and three different hand crank pasta machines to make the dough flat, then thinner, then cut into strips.

Book Review

by Chuck Jolicoeur Gifted Hands, 20th Anniversary Edition: The Ben Carson Story, on the Biography shelf.

If you are an emotional person, be prepared to have teary eyes, especially through the last third of the book.

The story begins with a background about Ben’s mother. A woman who started out about as low as low can be. Married at age 13 and with a third grade education, and one of 24 children.

It is her support, determination, and pushing to have her boys, Ben and Curtis, to become something.

This effort takes Ben from the dumbest of the class to the top or one of the top as he progresses through his education, often obtaining record highs.

As he attains his medical training, schooling, internships, etc., he tells of his efforts to support himself and the relationships he has.

He tells how he meets his wife and some of their

adventures. Ben has a strong religious faith and it seems to reward him under some weird circumstances.

After he becomes a surgeon, because he is the person he is, he incurs some resistance early on.

His skill and personality gradually make him the great surgeon that he is. His caring is apparent with all he encounters.

He tells of many of the surgeries that he has done, this is where most of the tearing will occur.

I should add that many were considered hopeless but turned out as successful.

All in all, it is a well written, very interesting story. Very difficult to put the book down. I would rate this as a five star work.

Four minutes was the difference for the Cardinals

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com “Four minutes,” West Carroll coach Matt Leitzen told his team after a 28-22 loss to Forreston. “We played smash mouth football for four quarters for the first time in years, but they out-executed us for four minutes.”

With five seconds left in the first half, quarterback Kody Plattenberger connected with Austin Mallow for a nine-yard touchdown pass.

Jake Miller tacked on a PAT run and the upset-minded Thunder had an 8-6 lead.

Midway through the third quarter, though, Forreston had a commanding 28-8 lead on its way to a 4-1 record.

Logan Rogers returned the second-half kickoff 50 yards and one play later fullback Matt Akins burst up the middle for a 30-yard touchdown.

After a three-and-out for West Carroll, linebacker Noah Gipe stunted and blocked the punt. Taking over at the 25-yard line, Forreston was quickly into the end zone again, this time on a 1-yard plunge by quarterback Caleb Poffenberger, making it 20-8 with less than four minutes gone in the quarter.

“The kickoff return and blocked punt were what hurt us most,” Leitzen said. “That was huge momentum for them.” ”We like to return to the right side and executed it,”

Forreston coach Denny Diduch said.

The Cardinals got the ball right back on an interception

by Cade Kuelling, on a misread by Plattenberger.

Seven running plays later, it was 28-8, as Rogers scored from five yards out on the counter.

“I like how we came out in the second half,” Rogers said.

“We made some mistakes and had big spurts, so we need to work on our consistency.”

Plattenberger drove his team 65 yards to pull West Carroll within 28-14 on a 1-yard sneak. With five minutes left in the game and facing fourth down, Plattenberger scored again from a yard out to make it 28-22.

“West Carroll is a totally different team,” Forreston lineman Brady Brokema said. “They showed they want to compete in the NUIC.” With Akins getting the bulk of the carries, the Cardinals were able maintain possession of the ball the rest of the game, taking a knee inside the 10-yard line.

“The fullback gouged us up the middle,” Leitzen said.

“We were worried about Rogers, but Akins carried the team on his back.”

Early in the game, the Cardinals were hurt by poor field positions after two WC punts inside the 10-yard line.

Other Forreston scores were Nolad Edler with a 44, Naega Groenewold with a 46, Josiah Snider with 51, Mitchell Bratina with 52, and

Kaitlin Korf with a round of 59.

The Cardinals and Marcos competed in the 20th annual Lorrin Fassett Golf Classic at Prairie Ridge Golf Course in Morrison on Sept. 26.

The tournament followed a format where the competitors played with a partner on their team for 6 holes of best ball, 6 holes of alternating shot, and 6 holes scramble.

Trophies were awarded to the top 3 teams and the top 10 individual groups.

Riverdale won the tournament, with Morrison and West Carroll coming in 2nd and 3rd respectively.

The top score of the day was from the group of Tyler Bussert and Joe Ibarra of Riverdale with a 4 under 67.

Forreston’s Bryan Edler and Josiah Snider had a round of 80. Nolan Edler and Christian Groenewold had a round of 93. Mitchell Bratina and Jacob Southerland had a round of 85.

Polo also competed during the tournament.

Christopher Rademacher and Brix Clayton had a round of 85. Tristan Woodin and Mack Llanas had a round of 84. Trevin Woodin and Lane Hopkins had a round of 93.

Polo had first deficit of the season Defeated Warren 50-6

By Rob Laird Correspondent With a handful of tall, burly linemen, Warren isn’t exactly the type of a team by whom you would want to get punched in the mouth.

But the Polo Marcos proved their jaw is not made of glass, pouring on 50 unanswered points after weathering an early flurry of punches thrown by their visiting opponent in a 50-6 NUIC Upstate victory.

Midway through the first quarter, Warren handed Polo its first deficit of the season on an eight-play touchdown drive that followed a game-opening three-and-out by the Marcos.

It wasn’t exactly a grand sequence of events for the fifth-ranked team in the 1A AP Poll, but the Marcos responded in typical lightning-quick fashion – 25 seconds later to be exact – with a 45-yard touchdown pass from Wyatt Patterson to Jesse Ditzler. Polo eventually pulled away to a 22-6 halftime lead.

Nevertheless, with starting quarterback Brody Grobe out with

an injury, the Marcos were hoping to utilize a power formation quite a bit on offense in the first half. It didn’t work as well as coach Andrew Hofer would’ve liked, and if not for an ill-advised fake punt by Warren in its own territory, the game would’ve been even closer at the break.

“That’s something we’re not accustomed to. We usually jump right out on people,” Hofer said. “We’ve got to handle the adversity a little better, but I thought we did a nice job of making some adjustments.”

Indeed, the Marcos (5-0) turned the table on the Warriors (3-2) to start the second half, forcing an initial three-and-out before proceeding on a down-your-throat, 10-play, 66yard touchdown drive consisting exclusively of running plays.

“It was certainly a challenge we gave to the team. We had a nice discussion at halftime,” Hofer said.

“We came out at halftime and played more to our pace.”

Brad Cavanaugh had 117 yards rushing for the Polos, with Brooks Grobe adding 80, and Dylan Beers scoring three second-half touchdowns to blow the game open.

Patterson threw for 131 yards.

Lady Marcos win over South Beloit The Polo Lady Marcos had a busy couple of weeks on the volleyball court.

The Marcos defeated South Beloit in two games Sept. 28.

Polo won the first game 25-15 and the second game 25-20.

The team was led by junior Justine Gorzny with 5 kills and junior Kenzie Dusing with 9 assists and 16 digs.

The Lady Marcos lost to Freeport Quin in two games Sept. 17.

The first game was 14-25 and the second game was 1825.

Dusing had 6 assists during this match.

Sophomore Rilley Peterson had a good match with 10 digs and senior Haley Cisketti finished with 6 blocks.

Polo also faced AFC and lost in two games.

The first game was 11-25 and the second game was 1125.

Tri-County Press, Forreston Journal, Thursday, October 1, 2015, Page B2

Penalty killed a drive for the Cardinals at home From B1 for a score. Instead a firstand-goal was wiped out by an unsportsmanlike penalty on the Cardinal bench for questioning a possible horsecollar or facemask penalty that wasn’t called after a Rogers’ run near the goal line.

“That penalty on me killed that drive,” Diduch said.

“I was just looking for an explanation.”

The deceptively quick Gipe got the ball back for Forreston on an interception

at midfield. Akins pounded up the middle for 16 yards on the next play and the offense was back in high gear. On a fourth-and-2, Rogers danced into the endzone untouched.

“They took away our outside game,” Diduch said.

“Our offensive line played well, blocking up the middle.”

Another aspect of Forreston’s game was headsup play on special teams.

Besides the blocked punt, up back Ethan Mangler was smothered by four Cardinal defenders on a fake punt on the first play of the fourth

quarter. Tyler Bryant also contributed two tackles for losses from his defensive back position.

“Bryant was aggressive on the options,” Diduch said.

Forreston moved into sole possession of third place in the conference with a 3-1 record, behind undefeated Lena-Winslow and 4-1 Dakota. This week, the Cardinals host 3-2 East Dubuque, who are playing in the upper-enrollment division of the conference this year after changing places with Durand.

will be no shortage of strong opponents, with NUIC stalwarts Le-Win, Dakota, Galena and a young Forreston team on the docket.

Before we hand the conference title over to Le-Win, don’t count out Forreston. As the season has progressed, these youngsters are getting more and more experienced.

Under Denny Diduch’s system, I’m always impressed with the execution and speed in which the offense functions.

After the West Carroll game, I had to ask him if my imagination was playing tricks and if this year’s groups of backs were quicker than last year. He assured me they weren’t.

Whereas some of Forreston’s speed is a product of the system they operate out of, Polo’s is pure athleticism.

With Brad Cavanaugh and friends back on kickoff returns, an opposing team is baffled on whom not to kick it too.

If I was playing Polo, I’d offside all kicks, though I may not get more than one or two a game anyway.

Can 4-1 Milledgeville put up any type of resistance to the Marcos on Friday? The rivalry factor may come into play a little bit, but Polo will win big again.

Look for the 2015 squad to join the 1949, 1955 and 1991 teams as the only ones to finish the regular season without a loss.

Sports Column Double treat seeing Polo, Forreston

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com With an early start to Polo’s football game on Friday, I got a chance to see the first quarter before heading up to Forreston.

It was good to see the Marcos tested, as Warren was able to do, for at least the first few minutes.

For the second week in a row, it was also helpful for back-up signal caller Wyatt Patterson to get valuable playing time for Brody Grobe.

Don’t worry. Grobe will be back soon, but its having Patterson ready if needed is essential.

Upon arriving at Forreston, one thing that stood out was the large crowd of Cardinal backers in the stands and ringing the field. Of all six schools in Ogle County, Forreston has the best fan support.

I don’t think it is based upon having a defending state champ either. In previous years, the fans have come out in large numbers for both football and basketball.

Forreston is a high school sports town.

My dream for the playoffs would be a Polo-Forreston match up. Talk about a huge crowd. Those people from

Polo love their football, too.

Speaking of the playoffs, Polo is on target for a No. 4 seed in the 16-team bracket.

Stark County, Le-Win and either Ottawa Marquete or Chicago Hope should also end the season undefeated, but have more playoff points.

One of those potential 9-0 teams caught a break when undefeated 3A Princeton came from behind in the final seconds to beat 1A Fulton on Friday.

What’s that got to do with anything you ask?

That left Fulton at 1-4 with 2A power Rockridge still on the schedule. Had Fulton not fumbled the ball away, allowing Princeton to score, they would have won that game and likely entered the

playoffs at the most dangerous 5-4 team in 1A. All four losses have been to state-ranked teams in either 2A or 3A. For Polo to face Fulton in the first week of the playoffs would not be a good draw.

Remember, Forreston played Fulton in the first game, but the Steamers are greatly improved this year.

Another variable coming out of the Three Rivers conference is 5-0 Orion. The Chargers have never dropped down to 1A, but in this week’s IHSA playoff outlook, they are listed as the biggest team in 1A with a 305 enrollment.

Let’s hope Orion ends up in 2A. Whether or not Fulton or Orion end up in 1A, there

Cards play Geneseo The Forreston eighth grade football team recently traveled to Geneseo to play a fun game.

Two coaches began a conversation at a class reunion which started the idea of playing the game.

Coach Lane Schuff of Forreston and Coach Pat Michell of Geneseo were graduates and members of the 1982 4A State Championship team from Geneseo. They both currently coach the eight grade programs at the schools they now represent.

As the conversation lengthened the idea to play each other came about.

The idea became a reality in 2009 when the Cardinals boarded a bus and headed to

The Forreston eighth grade football team and the Geneseo football team recently got together to play a game in Geneseo. Photo supplied

Geneseon.

“Some people believe it (Geneseo) is the football capital of Illinois,” said Schurr. “I felt it was a great

way to expose our players to a larger school and play a team outside our area.”

Geneseo has two eighth grade teams, the green team

and the white team. When they play Forreston the teams combine and the playing time is evenly divided.

After the game the players shake hands and have a meal together.

This introduces the players and gives them time to share

stories about football and school.

“It is a wonderful thing to see kids from different parts of the state come together and play a game they love and then put aside the competition and just be kids,” said Schurr.

“Coach MItchell and I had

a wonderful opportunity to play football in a great program and to share our experiences with others is just a good thing to do.”

Forreston plays in Geneseo in odd numbered years and host Geneseo in even numbered years.

Rochelle woman is indicted after fatal crash in June near Rochelle A 19-year-old Rochelle woman was indicted last week for aggravated reckless driving as a result of a fatal vehicle crash in June.

Emily Jahnke was indicted by an Ogle County Grand Jury on Sept. 23 for the Class 4 felony.

The indictment came after the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department completed its investigation into the crash that took the life of Anna Speed, 19, Rochelle, on June 10.

Speed was pronounced dead at the scene on the crash on Gillis Road near the intersection with Mulford

Road, approximately six miles northeast of Rochelle.

The crash occurred at 8:38 p.m.

Speed was a backseat passenger in the Jeep that Jahnke was driving.

According to the bill of indictment, Jahnke “after consuming alcohol, swerved or ‘fish-tailed,’” the vehicle back and forth on Gillis Road, a gravel surface, causing the Jeep to leave the roadway, flip over, and strike a utility pole.

Jahnke and front seat passenger Anna Craven, 19, Rochelle, were ejected from the vehicle.

Secretary of State not sending registration reminders Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White has announced that his office will suspend mailing out vehicle registration renewal reminder notices to the public due to the lack of a state budget.

White noted that by suspending this service, which will save approximately $450,000 per month, his office will be able to prolong the ability to mail vehicle registration renewal stickers, titles and license plates to vehicle owners for a

few months longer before the postage account is depleted.

“The lack of a Fiscal Year 2016 budget is adversely impacting the Secretary of State’s office, and threatens to jeopardize the services we provide to the public,” said White.

“Without a state budget in place, we are doing what we can to manage so that we may serve the people of Illinois for as long as possible. As a result, difficult decisions like suspending renewal reminder notice mailings

are decisions we are being forced to make.”

White also noted if the office’s postage account runs out before January, he will be unable to mail the annual license to auto dealers, which they need to operate in Illinois legally, as well as critical incorporation paperwork needed for businesses in Illinois.

Last week, White issued a letter to the governor and legislative leaders outlining concerns on how the budget stalemate is negatively

impacting his office.

Some of the concerns included critical computer maintenance and data security issues as well as Driver and Vehicle Services facility operations.

White is determined to prioritize difficult cuts to ensure his office can provide core services to the public for as long as possible.

White encouraged vehicle owners to be mindful of their vehicle registration status to

ensure they renew in a timely manner and avoid driving on expired vehicle stickers.

He also emphasized that more vehicle owners will be forced to visit facilities to renew their vehicle registration stickers because without a reminder notice they will not have a pin number needed to renew online.

However, people who have signed up to receive electronic reminder notices

will continue to receive them by email.

To sign up for this service, please visit www. cyberdriveillinois.com.

“I urge the governor and the legislature to come together and solve this budget crisis so that my office, and all of state government, can continue providing services to the people of Illinois without interruption,” said White.

Fire prevention week Oct. 4-10 With national Fire Prevention Week (FPW) occurring from Oct. 4-10, the nonprofit Illinois Fire Safety Alliance (IFSA) encourages Illinois residents to practice fire safety and prevention throughout the entire year.

The theme for 2015 FPW is “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep.” According to the National Fire Protection

Association, which sponsors FPW, roughly half of home fire deaths result from overnight fires when most people are asleep.

Smoke alarms alert residents of a fire so they can safely escape. Working smoke alarms reduce the risk of dying in a fire by half.

A good reminder to change smoke alarm batteries is

when homeowners change their clocks to “spring forward” an hour when Daylight Saving Time (DST) begins in the spring and “fall back” when it ends in the fall.

Astrograph Take It Easy Thursday October 1, 2015 LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -You’ll find inspiration if you travel or attend a conference or trade show. Visiting new places and exploring various philosophies and cultures will spark a creative concept.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Financial gains are possible if you are proactive. Go over contracts and agreements carefully. Property deals should be considered as a source of extra income. Make your money work for you.
