POLO CITY COUNCIL

Council accepts Mandrell’s resignation Changes are made to handbook for city’s “preferred candidate”

BY JEFF HELFRICH jhelfrich@oglecountynews.com The Polo City Council accepted the resignation of Chief of Police Jon Mandrell at its Monday meeting.

Mandrell recently accepted a position at Sauk Valley Community College as vice president for academics and student services.

“All the things that you’ve done are greatly appreciated,” Mayor Doug Knapp said. “And at this point and time I’d like to accept your resignation with bittersweet feelings on that.”

Mandrell has served as police chief since last May when he replaced Kurt Cavanaugh. Among the changes since he started include implementing Coffee with a Cop, working with the town’s schools on preparedness plans, using more social media and emphasizing educating along with policing.

“We made a lot of advances here and I love this city,” Mandrell, who will stay on as a part-time officer, said. “I’ll be around. And I’m looking forward to helping any way I can.”

The council also voted to change the city’s employee handbook to possibly fit the candidate it prefers to replace Mandrell.

Officer Tim Rockwood, who has worked in the department for nearly three years, did not satisfy the handbook’s current requirement of five years minimum experience of police work.

“We all realize there’s a lack of experience here,” Knapp said. “But we’ve got recommendations, including from the chief of police.”

Rockwood worked for the Polo Street Department prior to being sent to the Illinois State Police academy by the city.

His hire date being much earlier with the city was used as justification for him not quite meeting the new qualification of three years. Rockwood won’t have three years officially until March.

Polo City Clerk Sydney Bartelt said Tuesday there are numerous candidates being considered for the position.

The current plan is for a new chief

to be appointed at the Feb. 17 meeting before officially becoming chief on Feb. 24 when Mandrell departs.

“He has been an asset all the way through,” Alderman Randy Schoon said of Rockwood, Jon Mandrell who he worked with during his street department days.

Mandrell said he has been working with Rockwood to succeed him as chief and has confidence in his ability to do the job. Changing the handbook for his possible hiring comes at a time when police officers are harder to hire, Mandrell said.

“This is an unprecedented time in law enforcement,” Mandrell said. “There is less interest in the field than ever. If you want to cast the net a little wider and nurture and preserve your talent, I think three years would be OK.”

LOCAL HISTORY

More research needed about 1879 Mosher quilt

BY BETTY OBENDORF Curator, Polo Historical Society It has been a busy week with workmen at the house, doctor’s appointments, overnight guests, working a bit at the museum, and fighting a slight bug.

Monday I met with Kris Gilbert who is Ogle County Historical Society president.

We had been wanting to touch base with each other for some time and Monday was the day.

The weather had not been good for me to get out on the ice until this week so finally we set up a meeting early in the week. Kris would like to see more interaction between the historical societies in the county.

She would like to see our Facebook

pages or websites interconnected.

The problem is our website has never really gotten off the ground.

I am not a computer-savvy person especially when I am now entering a slow down part of my life. I simply cannot tackle things the way I used to and what I need to be doing is straightening things up at the museum.

Paula, our treasurer, has been posting some things on Facebook about what is going on at the museum and we thank her for that. I am not a Facebook person even though I have one of those little pink iPads simply to look at the pictures. I do not respond.

So I am not certain how much Kris and I accomplished in that area. We also talked about a crazy quilt that

seems to have surfaced in the east.

This involves the early Mosher family in Polo. Remember how “The Voice of the Prairie” on page 8 tells us about the first town hall. It was built in 1855 by James Mosher.

It was used as a school, church, and many of the social and civic events were held in this building.

The hall for these events was upstairs and you went up the steps on the outside. Daughter Sarah Mosher, who married Joseph Keator, had a daughter, Dr. Louise Keator.

Dr. Keator was still living in the house part when I was in high school. Several of us were lucky enough to have gotten into this house while it was still standing.

All were intrigued with the con-

tents of the house and used clothing for plays given during our high school days.

Kate Mosher, sister to Sarah, was married to Arthur Pearson in November of 1879. Her friends made her a quilt for her wedding. This quilt is supposedly to have surfaced and has been purchased on ebay by an antique dealer in the east.

This quilt is being offered to Ogle County Historical Society for a price.

Kris Gilbert and I talked about the authenticity of this quilt and more research needs to be done.

I need to go to the library and do some more research on the Pearson family although I do have some at Aplington House. I am waiting for the snow to clear.

at 1p.m., we will have the ribbon cutting, followed by the grand opening until 5:30 p.m. Join us at Polo Pharmacy, 111 E. Mason St. Phone 779-226-1129.

Auction, Feb. 29 at 5 p.m., being held at Barnacopia. Tickets on sale now contact any committee member or call Kim at 815-973-0450.

Monthly Events Join us for Coffee with a Cop the second Wednesday of the month, the next day will be Wednesday, Feb. 12 from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Come have simple conversation with Chief Mandrell over

coffee and refreshments.

As a ministry of the Polo Council of Churches we hope you will join us for an opportunity to get to know our neighbors better by attending the “Our Table Community Meal” on the last Monday of the month, Feb. 24 at Faith UMC, 702 E. Dixon St., Polo. Come join us as we offer everyone a free home-cooked meal from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Town and Country Dinner and Dessert

friends, Katelyn, Laura, and Harper.

Charlotte gave her sermon on the beatitudes, reminding us that with God’s blessing comes the responsibility of following Jesus. We lovingly belong to Him. After church, I joined the group for dinner at the Pinecricker Cafe in Polo.

It has been a long time since my schedule has allowed me to join in the fun. It was so nice to sit in the company of my church family and share in the conversation.

This past Saturday morning, the men gathered in the basement of the church for their monthly breakfast meeting. The morning meal was hosted by Larry Riffle with Charlotte Hoppe, Don Hay, Kent Nettz, Jim Hopkins, Dave Burright, and John Engel attending.

Our church family received the sad news that Kathy Hines had passed away. Kathy was family to Don Hay and a friend to all of us in Pine Creek. Many from Pine Creek attended her funeral on Saturday and helped with the dinner. She will be missed until we meet again.

On Saturday morning, I joined my classmates in Dekalb for a teaching class. In the afternoon, I met Deb Ohlwine at the church where we continued cleaning out Sunday School supplies from the basement.

Next week, we start the process of packing and moving some of the items to the new church.

This past Monday evening, Pine Creek Christian Church joined with Faith Discovery Church to host the monthly Free Community Meal at the Faith United Methodist Church.

With over fifty Polo residents in attendance, the meal was enjoyed by all.

I wasn’t able to attend the meal as I had plans to be at the rehearsal for the Polo High School musical, “Matilda.” The students are making great progress with the show. In just about six weeks, they will be putting all of their hard work into their performances.

There has been much progress on the new church building. We are hoping to move into the new church this spring. Each week, as we enter our existing building, we can see

more items have been packed, cleaned out, or moved out.

As much as we are looking forward to moving, it is still sad for some of us to know that this building will soon be empty. God did not intend for us to stand still in the same place. Just as He created the seasons to change and transform our world, we should, too.

The act of accepting Christ changes us from the inside out. Once we know the good news, we move and go out to tell the others. There is no standing still when you are a Christian. Our church family has come to understand this, so we are moving.

We are moving, not only to a new building, but to a new space where we can do even more of His work.

We are moving to the space where we can make an even bigger difference than before. We are moving into a space filled with God’s love.

I hope you can join us in the remaining weeks at our current building. Come and celebrate with us. There is room in our little church in the country for you and your family.

A broken hip earlier this month didn’t stop Josephine Chirillo from celebrating her 103rd birthday at Generations at Neighbors rehabilitation and skilled nursing community in Byron on Jan. 26.

She was joined by family and fellow residents last Sunday for her party. Chirillo isn’t from the area, but does have family here. She spent most of her life near Stamford, Connecticut and some time in Nevada with her daughter.

While many ask, Josephine says she can’t pinpoint her secret to living to 103, but her faith has helped her along.

“Along life’s way, you make a lot of mistakes,” Chirillo, born in 1917, said. “You know, when you’re young. One night, I asked God to straighten out my life. He saved my life and gave me new meaning.”

Chirillo is the oldest member of her family. She has three daughters, one son and a long list of grandchildren.

Before breaking her hip on Jan. 11, Chirillo was still mobile and moved around a lot. She had successful surgery and has been recovering well since. She hopes to be able to walk again in the future.

“My mother has touched lives all over,” Faith Stoddard, Chirillo’s daughter who lives in Washington, said. “Wherever she goes. She can’t go too far now, but she’ll be touching lives in that nursing home.”

Chirillo’s happy and positive demeanor hasn’t changed. She enjoys the fall season and painting, usually with watercolors. She makes paintings and writes things about God on them and sends them to members of her family. She calls her paintings “splashes.”

Josephine still reads and has her eyesight. Ashley Colucci, another daughter of Chirillo’s, says her mother is an inspiration to everyone she meets.

“I’ve never heard a bad word from my mother,” Colucci said. “No swearing or anything like that. She’s just wonderful.”

Colucci recently moved to the area to be closer to her mother. Chirillo smiled on Monday as she looked over the presents given to her by those that were thinking of her on her birthday.

“It was a nice time with all my family and friends,” Chirillo said.

“It was a nice birthday splash.”

COUNTY NEWS

Ogle Habitat for Humanity gets $30,000 grant Plans are underway to build home in Rochelle this year

BY JEFF HELFRICH jhelfrich@oglecountynews.com The Price family lived in a two-bedroom apartment with mold, the ceiling falling in and bad wiring.

Their landlord was in poor health and didn’t improve their situation.

The family of five had few options for a way out. Until they were selected to build a house with Habitat for Humanity of Ogle County.

“They called us in for an interview, we both felt we wouldn’t get it,” April Price said. “They told us and I cried. My husband was close to tears.”

The Rochelle family now lives in a five-bedroom home that was finished in 2018.

The organization they built it with was awarded a $30,000 grant on Jan. 13 from the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois, which it will put towards building another house in 2020.

Vanessa White-Broome started at Habitat as executive director in 2016 and has upped the amounts she asks for in grants as her organization tries to serve more and more families.

This will be their 13th home build, along with numerous other projects like home repairs and improvements such as wheelchair ramps.

“We’re certainly increasing the number of families that we’re serving,” White-Broome said. “Last year we did six projects, four for families and then two community projects.

And then we’re building a brand new home again which costs us around $95,000. I felt I could justify writing it for $30,000. When I got the call, I was so excited.”

Most of Habitat’s labor is done by

ABOVE: Derek and April Price assisted in putting a roof on their home that they built with Habitat for Humanity of Ogle County. RIGHT: A worker builds the framing for the Rochelle home. Photos supplied. volunteers, save for excavation and cement work.

The $30,000 will take care of the initial phases of the build. Much of the secondary work is often done by the families that will receive the home.

Families are required to contribute 200 “equity hours” that show that they take pride in what will become their property. The Price family put in more hours than required. The father, Derek, looked up how to install flooring on YouTube.

“We laid the floors and put up drywall,” April Price said. “Every night after work we’d come here with the kids and paint. We helped with the roof.”

Habitat prides itself on its policy of “hands up, not a hand-out.” Those that receive homes make mortgage payments to Habitat. They stay engaged throughout the mortgage and provide counseling on how to pay for and maintain a home.

Those that apply for Habitat homes are usually unable to receive a loan due to credit issues. The Price family was turned down for each loan it applied for. Until Habitat.

“I think we’ve proven ourselves as far as our results,” White-Broome said. “In all of our years, we’ve only had one foreclosure.”

Habitat has done work in Mt. Morris, Forreston, Oregon, Polo and Rochelle. They’re currently still in the application process for who it will partner with for the 2020 house, which will be located in Rochelle on a donated lot.

Repair and add-on work in recent years has included fixing flooring and safety issues for a widow in Forreston, a handicap ramp for a homeowner in Rochelle and a complete porch for a couple in Polo.

“My thought is, the more families we can serve, the better,” WhiteBroome said. “These are repairs they couldn’t afford to do themselves.”

White-Broome believes that there is a lack of low-income and affordable housing in the county. There have been studies done that say many residents are paying exorbitant rates for substandard properties, she said.

“It’s an awesome thing to be able to get somebody into appropriate, safe housing,” White-Broome said.

“I think some people take that for granted. Not everyone has that opportunity.”

Since entering the process with Habitat, the Price’s lives have been “on an upswing.” Both April and Derek have new jobs. Their 16-yearold, Allica has the privacy she needs now. She used to share a room with 13-year-old Kadence and 6-year-old Annalise. The kids now have space, desks and closets.

“I don’t know where we’d be,” April Price said. It got us out of our comfort zones. We learned how to be home owners. It changed our lives.”

“This is a worldwide organization and there are at present 650 county chapters in the United States and Europe, but I noticed that there is not a chapter in Ogle County,” said Deanna Forrest, one of the group’s organizers. “So the three of us: myself, Linda Graber, and Debby Katzman were inspired to start a chapter.”

The group’s first meeting was scheduled for Jan. 23 at Hickory

Grove in Rochelle.

“The chapter will only meet four times per year, once in each season, and the meetings will take place at various places around the county. Each meeting will last only one hour-excluding the social hour. So it doesn’t require a lot of your time,” Forrest said.

“If you are like me, you are tired of spending countless hours fundraising for your favorite local charity, only to find out that you have only raised a small amount of money

Forreston wins 47-40

Forreston’s Alexus Houston drives to the basket as Oregon’s Ella Martin (left) and Breanna DeHaan defend during Feb. 1 action.

Montavon and DeHaan. Sensing an Oregon rally, Rahn decided to press and the result was a 43-37 lead, buoyed by a pair of Hagemann scores.

“We like to take the best ball player (Lambrigtsen) and make sure she didn’t catch it and have someone else handling the ball,” Rahn said.

Martin made another 3 to close the gap to 44-40 with over a minute left.

But, Oregon turned the ball over on an in-bounds pass, a carrying the ball call, a dribble off the foot and lost pass. They had 29 turnovers in the game.

“That’s horrible,” Lambrigsten said. “At the end, we wanted to make a play and make it fast. We were reacting instead of responding.”

In Bothe’s absence, Forreston was able to have a 36-30 rebounding edge.

“That had been our Achilles heel,” Rahn said. “We did a great job of blocking out. It was a key of the game.”

Houston had 19 points for Forreston, followed by Broshous with

• Friday, February 7, 2020

After losing to Oregon by four points in December, the Forreston girls basketball team had one thing on their mind.

“Redemption - that’s the word I put up on the board,” Forreston coach Brian Rahn said.

Taking the locker room message to heart, the Cardinals grabbed a 6-0 lead and never looked back in a 47-40 non-conference win on Feb. 1 in Oregon High School’s old gym.

“They weren’t going to be denied the way they came after us in the first two minutes of the game,” Oregon coach Wendy Lambrigtsen said.

Taylor Greenfield, Megan Hagemann and Alexus Houston each scored for Forreston (15-13), while Oregon (14-15) started with three turnovers and three missed shots.

Breanna DeHaan broke the drought with a steal and score, but the Hawks had to play catch up the rest of the way.

With Jenae Bothe sitting out the game because of a week-long bout with the flu, Olivia Lambrigtsen started down in the post for Oregon.

Bothe’s absence was also filled in by Lauren Montavon, who joined Lambrigtsen with 15 points each.

“It would have been wonderful to have Jenae in the post, but Lauren and Ella Martin did a nice job,” Lambrigsten said.

With Houston doing a little bit of everything for Forreston, the Cardinals took as 19-13 halftime lead. She needed to survive a bad fall in the second quarter after a collision with Lambrigtsen.

“She did as good job of battling the bumps and bruises,” Rahn said.

“In the past, that may have bothered her more. She does whatever we ask of her - points, rebounds, steals and assists.”

The two teams maintained a 6-point differential headed into the fourth quarter with Paityn Broshous making an old-fashioned 3 and regular 3 for the Cardinals in the third quarter. Martin, who had five 3s the night before against Rockford Christian, hit her first 3 of the game to keep Oregon close.

With 3:45 left in the game, the Hawks tied the game 35-35 after four straight baskets by Lambrigtsen,

Marcos hold lead to down the Cardinals 68-53

BY ANDY COLBERT acolbert@oglecountynews.com Playing nearly flawlessly, Polo held a 56-38 lead in the fourth quarter against Forreston on Jan. 30, a team they lost to earlier by 14 points.

However, the Marcos needed to survive a minor scare to beat their friendly rivals 68-53.

Riley Cornelius scored off a steal for Forreston and then Ethan Greenfield added another five points on one possession after Polo coach Matt Messer was whistled for two technicals.

The first was for complaining to the official that his player should not have been given a foul because he was, in fact, the “displaced player”.

The second technical and subsequent ejection was given to Messer as he questioned the severity of the technical in regards to the comment and then he made a direct statement to the official using his first name that he was “better than that”.

That cut the lead to 56-47, as Messer calmly walked to the locker room with six minutes left. Without their head coach, seniors Jace Coffey and Tucker Mumford took charge and the Marcos amped up the effort even more the rest of the way.

“He’s (Messer) a fun guy,” Coffey said. “When he went out, it put a smile on my face because of what he gives us. That made us want to give back to him even more.”

Coffey led everyone with 20 points and Mumford added 19. Just as impressively, the pair combined for 18-for-21 free throw shooting.

“We probably shoot 30-40 free throws consistently in practice,”

Earleen Hinton/Shaw Media

Polo’s Brody Glawe (10) brings the ball up the court as Forreston’s Chase Greenfield (23) tries to pry it loose.

Mumford said. “We hadn’t shown that consistency until tonight. It’s true what they say. Free throws win basketball games.”

With football strongmen Derek DeVries and Jakob Boomgarden down low, Mumford was still able to finesse his way to the basket and

The No. 5 seed Cardinals open up Amboy regional play on Monday against Rockford Christian Life, with the winner facing Fulton on Wednesday.

“We played Amboy tough last time. I think we have a good chance to make finals and see them again,” Rahn said.

Oregon finishes up the regular season at home against Kewanee on Senior Night. The Hawks were 3-7 in BNC play this season.

“It gets crazy in the conference with so many good teams,” Lambrigsten said.

For Forreston, the Oregon game capped a 10 game road trip that began on Jan. 14.

“We went 6-4 on the road trip and are currently 15-13 overall and 5-3 in conference,” said Rahn.

draw fouls. He also hit a key 3-pointer in the third quarter after Polo went four trips without a score and saw a 43-30 lead shrink to 43-35.

“Tucker and Jace had a great game,” Messer said. “It was nice to do it against a rival who gave us trouble last time.”

The Cardinals were hanging tough until midway through the second quarter. Chase Greenfield had a pair of 3s in the second quarter to tie the game 28-28, but Forreston closed out the first half with three turnovers.

Starting the third quarter, they had two more turnovers and Mumford had a block on them.

“Compared to last time we played (Forreston) when we struggled with the ball, we were more connected,” Coffey said. “We’ve bonded together.”

Colton Gunder, who had 10 points and did much of the ball handling in the final part of the game, helped close things out with 5-of-6 free throw shooting.

“It was a complete game from start to finish,” Messer said. “We finally had our full compliment of players and everyone executed.”

Parker Wolber got the Marcos going early with a pair of 3s, as Polo hit their four straight shots for a 12-6 lead.

Forreston took a 20-15 lead into the fourth quarter, but Polo took the lead for good at 24-23. Brody Glawe, one of the smallest players, ended the first half with an offensive board and put back, a pair of free throws and then started the third quarter for Polo with a lay-up off a steal.

Polo only had seven turnovers and made 17 of 36 shots. It was close in rebounding, with the Marcos holding a 28-25 edge.

“Seven turnovers is a big difference from before. It was horrendous,” Messer said. “Gunder really stabilized that.”

With Cornelius and Ethan Greenfield with 15 each, Forreston shot 18-for-46 and had 10 turnovers.

SPORTS COLUMN

s promised, it’s wrestling talk this week.

Polo will be hosting the most competitive 1A regional in all of Illinois.

On hand will be perennial state champs LenaWinslow and Dakota, with only one of them advancing onto team sectional.

“It’s not fair to those two,” Polo coach Jesse Culbertson said. “You wonder if it needs to be seeded like football.”

Dakota won state titles from 2013 to 2016 and Le-Win in 2017 and 2019. The only interruption to the NUIC dominance was in 2018 when Aurora Christian put together an all-star team, similar to what Lombard Montini used to do before they were bumped up from 2A and finally to 3A. This year, Le-Win is ranked No. 1 and Dakota No. 2. It will be the usual regional dogfight between these two for the right to advance to the sectional team competition.

Unfortunately, there always ends up being some very mediocre 1A teams that make dual team state, while one of these heavyweights sit home.

To compound matters, the IHSA raised the enrollment, which brings Dixon into the Polo regional for the first time. The Dukes finished third in the state for 2A in 2016 and have been a stalwart program for many years.

“It’s more like a sectional than a regional,” Culbertson said. “Anybody that knows anything about wrestling knows it’s a meat grinder.”

Besides the team aspect, there is the matter

COMMENTARY Andy Colbert

of individuals trying to move on from loaded weight classes. In the past, 1A regionals have been considered weak competition, with many of them being nothing more than a cakewalk to the sectional.

In fact, some didn’t even have the requisite number of entrants to fill out the available qualifying spots. That likely went into the decision by the IHSA to add larger schools to 1A. Besides Dakota, Le-Win and Dixon, the Polo regional has teams with a long tradition of success in Oregon, Byron, and Stillman Valley.

Remember Oregon earning four state medals last year?

West Carroll is on the rise and Polo and Fulton are no slouches. Bottom line for wrestling purists - Polo is the place to be on Saturday.

With two returning state medalists in Jacob Milliman and Andrew Herbst and another topflight senior in Zach Crandall, Oregon had high hopes this year.

Those plans didn’t work out along wit ha couple other upper classmen that didn’t come out

Crandall had several concussions from football and chose not to compete. Milliman got on the mats earlier this season, but had surgery on a painful wrist in January. Herbst separated his shoulder in a dual with Dakota back in December. He will have surgery this month.

“We have several young kids that are starting to get it and step up,” coach Kip Crandall said.

“But, our regional is a rough introduction to the state series. We will have them ready and see what happens. It will be exciting.”

The Polo co-op’s best chances at the regional will be from the only two seniors - Marcus McKenna and Conner Eubanks “It will nice for them to wrestle at home and it should be standing room only,” Culbertson said.

Though the Polo regional offers a glimpse at state-quality grapplers, the real fun begins the following weekend at the Oregon sectional. Besides Polo, the Princeton regional will be sending a whole bunch of quality foes.

To me, that has been as much fun to watch as the state finals. I have yet to see a basketball game at the Blackhawk Center that matches the intensity of the crowds for sectional wrestling.

As usual, I am sending fair warning to local Oregon restaurants to be on standby for an influx of fans looking to eat that afternoon. This is an all-day affair and there is a period where the facility is cleared out prior to the finals.

High school sports bring a lot of dollars to the Oregon economy, that’s for sure.

• GRANTS AVAILABLE Continued from Page 17 recycling equipment.

Municipalities seeking to improve commercial, curbside, or multifamily recycling programs are encouraged to apply.

Grant applications for equipment and materials needed to improve electronics recycling options in Ogle County are also encouraged since most electronics have been banned from landfills since January of 2012.

These examples are not all inclusive and applicants are encouraged to find innovative ways to reduce waste and increase what is recycled.

The grants may not be used to pay for ongoing expenses such as staffing, collection, and hauling costs.

Priority will be given to new applicants.

All applications will be reviewed by the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department and the Ogle County Board Solid Waste Committee.

Grants will be evaluated based

on the following criteria: management ability; project quality; project impact; realistic goals & expectations; accuracy of application; education potential; use of recycled content products when available; potential for waste stream diversion; and future continuity of project.

In 2018, Ogle County residents, businesses and other entities recycled approximately 31 percent of the municipal waste generated in the County.

This recycling rate is due to the efforts of many individuals doing

their part to reduce waste and recycle as much as possible at home, work and school.

OCSWMD officials urge businesses and other organizations to strive to find new ways to reduce waste and increase what gets recycled in the County.

These grants can help make that possible.

CRIME WATCH

Fulton man gets seven years on weapons charges

BY KATHLEEN SCHULTZ Shaw Media: kschultz@saukvalley.com A Fulton man found high and sleeping in a running vehicle loaded with guns and ammo – some stolen, others illegally modified – was sentenced Monday to 7 years and 3 months in federal prison.

Robert Lee Poore, 43, was arrested March 26 and pleaded guilty Aug. 23 to receiving and possessing machine guns and silencers. One count of being a felon in possession of firearms was dismissed as part of his plea agreement.

An officer found Poore snoozing in a Subway parking lot in Clinton, Iowa, shortly before 10 p.m.

His previous felony conviction was for armed robbery in McLean County in 1994. He also has convictions for battery and robbery when he was 17, and theft a year later.

In federal court, sentencing guidelines take into account a variety of factors. In this case, Poore’s criminal history, the number and type of guns he had and the fact that some were stolen all added to the recommendation, while was his acceptance of responsibility for the crime was considered in his favor.

Krickbaum’s calculations called for 87 months, which he was granted, and all the firearms were forfeited.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Double-check information. Deception or false data is likely if you are too accepting. Question whatever seems sketchy. It’s up to you to protect your interests and reputation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Dig in and get your responsibilities done on time. Make plans that will please a loved one.

Romance is in the stars and will encourage a better relationship.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Emotions will surface if you try to tackle sensitive issues. A misunderstanding will leave you in a vulnerable position. Keep your life simple and practice moderation and precision.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Trust what you see and hear firsthand. Express your thoughts and opinions carefully.

Offer love, romance and kindness to individuals who share your life, space and point of view.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Take better care of your physical and emotional wellbeing. Don’t change what’s working fine; instead, focus on adjusting what is no longer to your benefit.

Protect your interests.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Joint ventures will fall short of your expectations. Pour your energy into something constructive that will benefit you personally, physically or financially. Avoid anger and physical confrontations.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) -- You will enhance your reputation if you are willing to go the extra mile at work and home. What you do for others will make a lasting impression and leave you feeling good.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you share with a loved one, you will be able to make plans and map out a sound strategy.

A creative venue will prove entertaining and enlightening. ©2018 UFS

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

Best customer service in the area! 5 stars without a doubt! I wanted to sell my car quickly and for a good price and Mike Parent walked me through my options and we decided it would be best to trade my car in and get a super affordable car. He directed me to Nick Melsness and Nick McClanahan and they took it from there! They found me a fully loaded ltz chevy impala and got me a check for previous car! I would highly recommend Majeski Motors to everyone looking to into a good quality vehicle on any budget! -Kole Knack-Broos September 2019
