IDOT improving crosswalks in Oregon and Polo

By Zach Arbogast zarbogast@oglecounty news.com The Illinois Department of Transportation held a pair of public meetings to introduce the public to work that will be done on pedestrian crosswalk and curb ramps all around Oregon and Polo.

IDOT officials had maps on display April 11 at Nash Recreation Center, Oregon, showing 126 crosswalks and curb ramps that will be improved along Ill. 2 and Ill. 64.

A meeting was also held April 18 at the Polo Public Library, detailing 70 crosswalks to be improved along Ill. 52 through Polo, for a total of 196 crosswalks in both areas.

Construction will be done on the crosswalks to get them in line with the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act standards, which was made mandatory in 2012, making them safer and more handicapped accessible.

Ramps that transition from sidewalks into streets will be made wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs,

include colored detectable warnings, and be as smooth and flat as possible, with a maximum slope of 12 inches of ramp run for every inch of height.

According to Michael Keuhn, IDOT Geometrics Engineer, this part of a longterm national push to get crosswalk ramps up to the ADA standard.

“The entire state is working to get everything up to snuff with [the ADA],” said Keuhn.

“We got a 25-year program on this where we’re trying to upgrade all of our ADA ramps on the state routes.”

Keuhn said that citizens can see their own municipalities doing the same on a local level, but it is IDOT’s job to take care of state highways.

A timeline for the beginning stages of construction is not set, and Keuhn said the meetings are strictly to make the public aware of the project.

“We’re probably several years out on it,” said Keuhn.

Keuhn said no official numbers have been run, but the current safe estimate is Michael Kuehn, Geometrics Engineer for the Illinois Department of Transportation, traces out the map of several crosswalks around $500,000 for the 196 IDOT plans to work on. Over the next few years, IDOT will be repairing handicapped-accessible ramps at crosswalks at 126 locations in Oregon, as well as 70 in Polo. Photo by Zach Arbogast. crosswalk improvements.

City council hires fifth policeman

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Polo will soon have a fifth police officer patrolling its streets.

Following a closed session Monday evening, the city council voted unanimously to hire Nick Broege, 28, of Polo, as a full-time policeman.

Police Chief Kurt Cavanaugh said he was pleased with the council’s decision.

Polo Police Chief Kurt Cavanaugh, right, swears in new police officer Nick Broege “I’m looking forward to having Monday night after he was hired by the city council. Photo courtesy of Cheryl Galor him on the department. I think he’s

going to do a good job,” he said.

“We already have good officers, and this will make the department run even more smoothly.”

Broege will attend the 14week training course at the police academy in Decatur beginning April 29, Cavanaugh said.

After completing the course in early August, he will do further training with the Polo Police Department.

Broege will be paid $18 per hour.

He has served in the U.S. Army with tours in Korea and Afghanistan and is also a volunteer firefighter

with the Polo Fire Department.

Cavanaugh, a retired Illinois State Police Lieutenant, has recommended hiring a fifth fulltime officer for some time, even before he became Polo’s chief in November of 2016.

In an independent review of the department done in 2015, he said a fifth officer was needed to allow then-chief Dennis Christen more time for administrative duties.

The city council also hired 20 lifeguards to work at the city pool this summer, 11 of whom have worked there previously.

Prosecutor gives Mongan another chance at plea offer

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com An Oregon man charged in the boating death of a Rockford woman two years ago got an extension of a plea offer in Ogle County Court Tuesday afternoon.

Prosecutors offered Marc Mongan, 47, another chance to take the plea deal they offered two weeks ago and extended the deadline for accepting it until 5 p.m. Thursday.

Mongan has been charged with seven felonies, including drunk driving, in the death of Megan Wells, 31, on June 24, 2016, on the Rock River three miles north of Oregon when the johnboat he was operating struck her as it went over the back of the pontoon boat she was riding in, throwing her overboard.

He has been charged with one count of aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, a Class 2 felony; three counts of reckless homicide, all class

3 felonies; and three counts of reckless conduct, all Class 4 felonies.

Judge John Redington recessed Tuesday’s hearing to meet in his chambers with Mongan and his attorneys, David Tess and Russell Crull, and special prosecutors David Neal and Brooke Shupe, both from the Illinois State’s Attorney’s Appellate Prosecutor’s office.

In This Week’s Edition...

Neal said the state is again making the plea offer previously made April 5 and extending the deadline for Mongan to accept it.

Redington set another hearing for Thursday morning.

Jury selection for Mongan’s trial is set to begin next Monday.

During the hearing, both the prosecution and defense presented motions to exclude the other side’s expert witnesses.

Shupe argued that defense witness Roger Barrette from Cooper Barrette Consulting, Woodstock, may not be qualified to testify as a boating crash reconstructionist even though he has expertise in vehicle crash reconstruction.

She also argued that Barrette’s report about his conclusions after inspecting the pontoon boat are incomplete and should not be allowed in testimony.

Barrette inspected both boats, which are in the custody of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

Shupe said Barrette wrote

Chamber Chatter, A8 Church News, A5 Classifieds, B5-B8 Entertainment, A6 Library News, A3

in his report that he could not complete it because the lighting was poor in the garage where it was being stored and he had no ladder to get into it for a full inspection.

“He wasn’t allowed to touch the boat,” Tess said.

Redington said he will order the Conservation Police to allow Barrette full access to the boat,

but he will need to provide any equipment to make a full inspection possible.

“His report and therefore, his conclusion is incomplete,” Redington said. “I’m not going to let him testify unless he completes the report.”

Redington said the report must be done in time for Thursday’s hearing.

Crull filed a motion to bar the testimony of three Conservation Police officers who were on the scene of the crash and questioned their qualifications to be considered expert witnesses.

Redington reserved a ruling on both state and defense motions to exclude the witnesses until the trial begins.

Winter refuses to give up

By Betty Obendorf Curator Polo Historical Society A couple of weeks ago at church I said to someone, “It is a little bit chilly.” He answered, “It is a lot chilly!!”

This Sunday we added snow to the cold weather, and my brother who is visiting from California even got to scrape snow off his car. He will have some stories to tell when he heads back home.

I had both of my brothers here for a few days and we never know what the weather will be like in Illinois.

They come to visit our sister who is at Polo Rehab in the spring and in the fall.

While they are here we do a small trip to either Wisconsin or Iowa.

The Wisconsin cheese is always a draw but Chicken George at the Candlelight on the Mississippi River is high on our list also.

This year we opted for the Mississippi River and Chicken George.

It was September of 2013 that we had our last brother-sister outing at the Mississippi River Lodge right on the river and we loved it.

A year later our sister Ruby

went into the Polo Rehab and all changed in our family.

Time rolls on and while it is difficult to accept change, that does become part of the fabric of our lives.

This week I will need to get back to thoughts of Polo Historical Society and what is coming up.

Our series on the National Register has come to an end. We will have to wait until June to see if the 1854 William Wallace Burns House is accepted.

Hopefully we will get to add one more to our impressive record for Polo.

Other things have been happening, such as, the records of the Peek Home surfacing in the home of a past board member who lived in the city.

Someone came across the record book and luckily realized it needed to be saved.

It was sent to Ogle county Historical Society, and Linda Gall happened to see a notation of this on online minutes.

I wrote a letter to the Ogle County Historical Society hoping to have either the book itself or a copy of the record book to be placed in our files.

We have much information on the Peek Home and we still receive inquiries about residents.

Since Ogle County Historical

Society had never gotten an inquiry about anyone living at the home, they felt the book needed to be placed at Polo Historical Society.

We now have the book, and already I have emailed someone looking for their grandfather who might have been in the home around 1920.

This is wonderful to have information in a book to answer questions.

Grace Brandes came to the home in 1930 and she started to record the names at that time.

None had been recorded before and she attempted get down in the record book all who came before 1930. From then on, all the records are up to date.

We are getting ready to host Chamber After Hours this week so we have some things to do such as tables and chairs to get ready, slush punch to make, and figure out where to put things.

It has been a while since we have had any fancy doings at Aplington House so preparations are in order.

Do come to see what we have been doing. We invite Polo Historical Society members also that night.

Our weather keeps us on our toes as the snow - flakes keep falling and winter just keeps on going and going.

PACT to present mystery Polo Area Community Theatre will present “A Murder Is Announced” on three dates at the Buffalo Township Hall, 117 N. Franklin Ave., Polo.

The play will be presented on Friday, April 27 and Saturday, April 28 at 7 p.m. and on Sunday, April 29 at 2 p.m.

An announcement in the local paper states the time and place when a murder is to occur in Miss Blacklock’s Victorian house.

The victim is not one of the house’s several occupants, but an unexpected and unknown visitor.

What follows is a classic Agatha Christie puzzle of mixed motives, concealed identities, a second death, a determined inspector grimly following the twists and turns, and Miss Marple on hand to provide the final solution at some risk to herself in a dramatic confrontation just before the final curtain.

Zeigler were out an a fun scavenger hunt with their youth group.

This past week has been very busy with church meetings getting ready for the board meeting.

There are many different jobs in the church community to keep everything progressing smoothly. Everyone shares their talents.

Stephanie was snowed in over the weekend since they had over a foot of snow fall in the Minneapolis area.

She has definitely grown weary of the snow and cold and dreams of moving someplace warm.

As a young child, I loved

snow days. It was comforting to stay inside a warm, cozy home.

My mom always took such good care of us. We would move our beds to the warmest part of the house and she would shovel the snow to make sure she could get her car out to go to work.

When my kids were young, I still enjoyed the snow days because it was my turn to take of them.

One December, there were several snow days in a row.

We let the kids move their sleeping bags to the warmest room in the house. Everyone was tucked in nice and warm.

It is such a comfort to be taken care of. No matter the

situation, we will always have the comfort of our Heavenly Father.

He takes care of us in so many ways. Providing for our basic needs and helping to ease our pain.

Not only do I feel the comfort of our loving God, I have been loved and comforted by my church family.

When we feel the comfort and love that God gives, we want to share it with others.

I hope to see you next Sunday at our little church in the country.

Public Voice Little will write his check when the statue is done Dear Editor, A few years ago I attended an Oregon Trail Days event at Lowden State Park. At that event, I donated $1,000 for the renovation of the Black Hawk Statue. I have since learned that

money along with hundreds of thousands of dollars has been wasted on scaffold rental, research, and data. By the way, do we have access to that data?

This time I will pledge $2,000 to and for the renovation of the Black Hawk Statue. I will write my check immediately upon completion of the project.

Forreston-Polo Track & Field wins Byron Relays

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com If the results of the Byron Relays mean anything, Forreston-Polo’s track team may be on its way to another state trophy.

F-P repeated as team champ on April 12 with a 157 to 102 win over second-place LenaWinslow.

They won 12 of the 18 events also had a few marks that would have placed at the 1A state meet last year.

“That’s the plan again to get a trophy,” said Brady Webb, who nearly hit 23 feet in the long jump.

Webb settled for 22-4, which would have got him third downstate last year. In the relay-scored event, Evan Kelsey added a 19-6 and Ethan Phillips 18-11 for 61 feet and first.

“Our long jumpers did really well,” F-P coach Bob Wagner said. “If Brady hits the board right, he’ll be at 23 feet.”

Phillips (40-1), Reid Taylor (40-1) and Christian Groenewold (39-5) grabbed another win in the triple jump and Groenewold nearly went 6-2 in the high jump.

“He was over it by 2-3 inches, but clipped it,” Wagner said.

In the most exciting race on the track and a battle between two NUIC football stars, it was Gavin Fuchs coming from behind to nip Rahveon Valentine of Lena-Winslow in the anchor leg of the 400-meter relay (44.07-44.11).

“I can’t believe it,” Wagner said. “But, Gavin is such a competitor. That’s a big win because of how good Le-Win is.”

Joining Fuchs were AJ Christensen, Cailean Davids and Webb. The clocking of 44.07 would have placed at the state meet also.

Le-Win, which had an allstar cast of football players running the 400, was able to avenge the loss with a 1:33.06 to 1:33.80 win in the 800 relays.

“Forreston-Polo is the team to beat this year. We have such respect for them,” L-W coach Austin Rickels said.

In the 800 relay, Valentine held off Fuchs, as F-P was hampered by bad exchanges.

Wagner said the exchanges were not good.

“It’s still early in the season,” Wagner said. “That can be fixed. The key for us right now is staying injury free. It’s nice to come into a meet like this healthy.”

After leading his team of Hunter Daws and Bennett Soltow to an easy win in the

high-hurdle shuttle (49.37), Christensen ran in the 39s for the 300 intermediate hurdles.

That is one of the top times in the state this year and would have been good for a medal downstate in 2017, where Christensen finished second.

“I didn’t hold anything back.

I went all out,” Christensen said.

Jace Coffey threw 131-10 feet in the discus to lead F-P to another field-event first. It was only his second meet after being out with an ankle injury.

The 800 sprint medley of Joe Bowers, Skylar Regez, Taylor and Davids ran 1:40.81 for first place. F-P won fresh-soph relays and even the field-event relay, where they had a considerable advantage in athleticism with Barkalow, Groenewold, Garett Badertscher, and Dom Christensen.

F-P put an exclamation mark on the meet with a win in the 1,600 relay, with Christensen, Webb, Kelsey and Fuchs running 3:34.

“It was an amazing night,” Wagner said. “But, it’s still to early to talk about state.”

Finishing in third was Rock Island Alleman with 87, followed by Byron with 84, Winnebago 69 and Stillman Valley 30. With only six teams, it was the smallest Byron Relays meet in decades.

Sports Column Odds stacked against spring sports

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Compared to the more glamorous fall and winter sports like football, volleyball and basketball, spring sports have the odds stacked against them.

Fan support isn’t as large as the above mentioned sports and for some athletes, a spring sport is too much after playing in the fall and winter. Additionally, senioritis can kick in and those soon to graduate may have other desires.

With the cold, damp and windy weather we’ve been experiencing this spring, add one more factor that stymies interest.

Besides practicing in the

cold, games and meets have been canceled right and left.

It’s difficult to keep spirits up in these conditions. Special credit to the coaches for their efforts in keeping the troops motivated. The only coach that has it tougher is a wrestling coach.

It’s sad to see empty ball diamonds and tracks, especially on Saturdays. I can never recall Oregon losing out on two Saturday track meets in a row.

Several weeks ago, Hawk soccer coach Seger Larson had the girls practicing in snowy conditions. It seemed a bit extreme, but he said you never know when you’ll have to play in it, so you better get used to it.

I never thought a month later his words would still ring true.

That is one advantage soccer has over track, baseball and soccer. Like football in the fall, it can be played in any conditions.

Let’s face it folks - track, baseball and softball were meant to be played in the summer. When I attended high school 40 years ago, that when high school baseball startedafter school was out.

But, there was a drawback.

Though the weather was great, there was no interest because school was no longer in session. It was really no different than playing Legion ball or club sports.

Eventually, it moved back to the spring, where it continues to shiver until this day. At least there is a connection to school.

Enough whining about the weather.

Forreston-Polo Track Success How about the season the Forreston boys are having in baseball and track with their co-op with Polo. Find me another school their size in Illinois with as much success in both sports as Forreston is

having.

Baseball has been no cake walk, as the Cardinals escaped a couple close NUIC pitching duels. The conference is loaded with good teams.

It was tremendous effort

by F-P at the Byron Relays last week, in what turned out to be the best weather day of the spring thus far. The relays are loaded and Brady Webb and AJ Christensen are again towards the top of 1A in their events.

As coach Wagner stressed, the key is to stay healthy. The program has been snakebitten by the injury bug the last few years and hopefully that has become a thing of the past.

If they stay healthy, the IHSA state meet promises to be site of multiple medals.

Could we see one of the rarest of rarities - state trophies in both baseball and track?

Baseball is tough, because one bad game and you’re done.

Or, like what happened to Forreston last year - you run into another team’s best effort of the year and barely get beat.

The odds are against both programs doing it the same season, but it is fun to project into the future. Hey, maybe the weather will warm up by then.

Bothe Induction Congratulations to Oregon coach John Bothe for induction in the IHSFCA Hallof-Fame. One little-known fact about Bothe was that he was somewhat of an unknown before Hawk Athletic Director Vern Welp took a chance and hired him.

SM-ST1518646

RC Campus Groundbreaking took place last week on an international wing of the Rockford Christian campus, with lodging for up to 200 students from other countries. With private schools losing enrollment, RC is bucking the trend.

What will that mean for the BNC? Nobody is sure yet. Will these foreigners be the type to play sports or will it strictly be about academic opportunities?

Certainly schools all over have benefited athletically from foreign-exchange students.

Speaking of RC, remember they will not longer compete in the BNC for football.

From now on, the conference

Andy Colbert

will have 10 football-playing schools, with no more nonconference games.

At least we won’t have two schools going undefeated in conference play like was the case this past fall with Dixon and Byron. It will make the schedule a bit more difficult for Oregon.

Still, Oregon should be thankful to be in a conference with as much stability as the BNC. With the recent breakup up the NIB-10, DeKalb and Kaneland are trying to get into the NIC-10 and Sterling was basically left to flounder by themselves.

Sterling was accepted into the league with the Quad-cities teams and Quincy. Talk about a long round trip. It’s 400 miles round trip to Quincy from Sterling.

Oregon is in pretty good shape with Rock Falls, Genoa and North Boone as the most distant outposts.

There wasn’t much for him to work with in his first year (1998), but after that, things got rolling and Mr. Welp proved to be a good judge of talent.

Bothe also was blessed

by Kip Crandall and Mike Lawton coming in after Vern.

As a media member, I can also attest to how easy it was to work with Vern, Kip and Mike.

Another thing that John was thankful for was having junior tackle as a feeder system.

Without the coaches and administration of junior tackle, the high school program wouldn’t be what it was.

I’ve noticed that over the years in the sport I help with, track and field. If it wasn’t for the Gippers and Gretchen Nelson, Oregon’s high school program wouldn’t be nearly as strong.

CHILD CARE

512

NO INDIVIDUAL, unless licensed or holding a permit as a childcare facility, may cause to be published any advertisement soliciting a child care service.* A childcare facility that is licensed or operating under a permit issued by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services may publish advertisements of the services for which it is lispecifically censed or issued a permit. Sauk Valley Media strongly urges any parent or guardian to verify the validity of the license of any facility before placing a child in it's care. *Family homes that care for no more than three (3) children under the age of twelve or which receive only children from a single household, for less than 24 hours per day, are exempt from licensure as day care homes.

The three children to whom this exemption applies includes the family's natural or adopted children and any other persons under the age of 12 whether related or unrelated to the operator of the day care home. (DCFS Rule, Part 377.3 (c))

Astrograph Be prepared to give your all. You will be judged by your actions and accomplishments. Calm, concise action is your ticket to success.

THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 2018 ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- There are no shortcuts if you want to get things done right the first time. Size up your workload and manage your time with precision and firmness.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Don’t expect to get the best price or be told the truth when someone is asking for your help. Your generosity will be taken advantage of if you are gullible.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Make plans to enjoy downtime with a loved one. Spending time together will help you iron out any conflicts you may have with each other.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- An opportunity will intrigue you. Consider the pros and cons and what it will take to initiate a positive change.

Trust and believe in yourself, and present what you have to offer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) -- A sensitive situation surrounding a partner must be addressed diplomatically.

Look for the perfect moment to make your point without hurting someone’s feelings or causing a scene.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You’ll have to ask direct questions if you want to hear the truth. Someone will distort a message or mislead you. Getting together with someone from your past isn’t recommended.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It’s important to keep your story straight. If you exaggerate or lead someone to believe you are willing to do something you are not, you will end up looking bad.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t trust what others tell you. Get firsthand information and don’t make changes that can disrupt important relationships. Take your time and only pursue what’s feasible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Stick close to home and iron out any difficulties or changes you want to make.

Discussions will lead to solutions and positive changes that put your mind at ease.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Know what you want, and don’t let anyone manipulate you or put you on the spot.

Control the situation instead of letting it control you. If you aren’t ready to make a decision, back away.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A change may appear to be favorable, but go over the fine print before you take part. Play it safe and get what you want in writing before you proceed.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t be too trusting.

Someone will exaggerate or offer a false impression regarding a deal or purchase that he or she wants you to buy into. Say no to risky joint ventures. ©2017 UFS
