OREGON – Oregon is ramping up to play host to thousands of people next weekend as residents and visitors celebrate the 53nd annual Autumn on Parade.
“This is a fun-for-all-ages event,” Autumn on Parade marketing director Meggan Dickson said. “There is something for young, something for old. It’s outdoors and supports small businesses, supports our small town. It’s a good time to get out and mingle and feel the excitement in the area.”
The free, family-friendly festival is set for Oct. 5 and 6 with most events and activities taking place in and around downtown Oregon. A complete schedule of events can be found at AutumnOnParade.com.
This year’s theme is “Whimsical Weekend.”
“We just kind of kick around ideas that come to us and the [Autumn on Parade] Board shares suggestions,” Dickson said. “We had three really good suggestions a couple years ago, so we just lined them up to use them and this year was ‘Whimsical Weekend.’”
The board and committee members are excited to see how participants interpret the theme, especially the Harvest Time Parade entries, Dickson said.
Bid early and often to help Forrestville Valley school programs
lots of entertainment,” Dickson said. “It’s the largest parade in northern Illinois.”
There will not be a 5K and Fun Run this year. Organizers were unable to find enough volunteers to manage the event and there were no outside agencies to take it on, according to the Autumn on Parade website.
“While this chapter of our festival is closing, we are happy to have provided the 5K and Fun Run for so many years and hope each of you treasure those memories for a lifetime,” the website reads.
The market/craft fair – a favorite of festivalgoers – will take place both Saturday and Sunday, Dickson said. The market/craft fair began in 1970 with just seven vendors. This year, there are more than 200, she said.
The Harvest Time Parade steps off at 1 p.m. Oct. 6 from the corner of Adams and South Ninth streets.
From the starting point, parade entrants will travel east to state Route 2 and then turn north and head to state Route 64. They’ll turn west onto Route 64 and finish at the intersection with South 10th Street.
“It features somewhere in the nature of 100 floats, musical acts, tumblers and

Autumn on Parade volunteers will partake in their own version of whimsical activities throughout the weekend, including giveaways, a scavenger hunt and art reveal, Dickson said.
For those who can find Dolly the Duck, there’s a chance to win festival merchandise, she said. Taking a selfie with Dolly and tagging Autumn on Parade on social media is another chance to win, Dickson said.
“This is an all-volunteer-led event,” Dickson said of Autumn on Parade. “It’s really neat to see everyone giving back to the community.”

Oregon High School held its
Wednesday, Sept. 18.
We were looking for a quiet week since we did not have much going on except a visitor from Florida. Kathy was visiting her daughter in Chicago and she is connected to our first businessman in Buffalo Grove. Col. John D. Stevenson arrived in Buffalo Grove in 1835 from Louisiana and brought with him a small stock of goods. He set up his store in his log cabin.
In 1835, there were 15 families in Buffalo Grove and I assume he first had to build his log cabin before he started selling supplies. I wondered what he brought with him from the South. Maybe flour, sugar and perhaps salt. By 1836, he built a frame house that he used as a home and store.
Kathy had been here before to research her family and she said she always finds something new. This time, she was trying to find out if Stevenson was in the military. Kevin was there to help in the search and we could not find anything in the big file that would have placed him in the military. Kevin could not find anything on the internet.
Stevenson’s daughter was Dr. Sarah Hackett Stevenson, who was one of our first women doctors. She achieved things that women had been unable to do and she became well known in the Chicago area. We honored her in Ogle County at Byron with a display years ago. I wonder if that display is still shown in the museum. They were honoring women of Ogle County and we were proud to have her from Polo.
I then started on the application for honoring our abolitionists at Fairmount Cemetery. They are about 45 pages long and need the history of your area with footnotes and all of that. It is like writing a book and my mind is full of where I am going next with this story.
Betty Obendorf
Friday, I had just settled down at my computer when the phone rang and a voice said, “Betty, I am at the museum with a group of people to see the museum.” I said I would be right down and when I arrived at the museum there was a mini bus in front. I had called Linda to help and we were quite surprised because we did not know they were coming. They were from The Meadows in Franklin Grove and all had either a wheelchair or a walker. The oldest was 100 years old and the rest were in their 90s. They had read about the museum in the article in Kaleidescope.
Linda and I had a delightful time showing them the museum. They were very sharp with their minds taking in everything. One man had worked at Kable printing so they loved our linotype. Another built dollhouses so they loved the Native American Art Gallery diorama. Another could not get enough of the Native American artifacts because he had grown up near Native American mounds.
They were going to drive out to see where Buffalo Grove was and then they were going to have their picnic lunch at Lowell Park along the river. It was interesting just watching them unload and load using a lift on the little bus.
If I live to be a 100 it will be a wonder and if I am out seeing museums at 100 it would indeed be a miracle.

Irving K. and Allen B. Pond, architects of the Oregon library, formed their partnership in 1885. Irving was president of the American Institute of Architects in 1908.
The Oregon Public Library was designed by Pond and Pond in 1908. The upstairs gallery contains artwork donated by the Eagle’s Nest Art Colony (1898-1942). The upstairs gallery was designed to display artwork. The stairwell displays additional work from local artists.
Irving K. and Allen B. Pond were born in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Their father, Elihu Pond, was the editor of the weekly newspaper.
The Pond brothers were part of an active artists’ scene in Chicago that included Lorado Taft. They were founding members of the Cliff Dwellers Club of Chicago and the Eagle’s Nest Art Colony in Ogle County. They were active designing buildings in the period after the Great Chicago Fire. They designed large university buildings and built student unions for the campuses of Purdue University, the University of Michigan, Michigan State and the University of Kansas.
In 1904, it was learned that Andrew Carnegie would donate $10,000 for a new library in Oregon. Taxes were increased and residents voted for the location of the library at the corner of Third and Jefferson streets. The lot was purchased for $1,900.
The following information about Carnegie’s amazing life came from Wikipedia.
Carnegie first worked as a messenger boy for the Ohio Telegraph
and later became one of the richest men in America.
Carnegie was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, and emigrated to the U.S. with his parents in 1848 at age 12. He worked as a telegrapher and invested in railroads, sleeping cars, bridges and oil derricks. He built Pittsburg’s Carnegie Steel Company and sold it to J.P. Morgan in 1901 for $303,450,000. (Today, it would be worth about $5.5 billion). Later, selling Carnegie Steel, he surpassed John D. Rockefeller as the richest American for the next several years.
Carnegie spent the last years of his life as a philanthropist. One of his philanthropic projects was the establishment of public libraries throughout the U.S., England, Canada and other English speaking countries.
So now when I pass by the Oregon library, I know why it is called a Carnegie library, that its founder was born in a very small one-room home in Scotland and later became one of the richest men in America.

Dr. Tom Champley recently retired from job as Animal Control administrator
By ALEXA ZOELLNER azoellner@shawmedia.com
OREGON – After almost 28 years as the Ogle County Animal Control administrator, Dr. Tom Champley has retired.
Ogle County Board members Sept. 17
recognized Champley for his work since his hiring Nov. 19, 1996. The position was part time.
“I do appreciate the support I’ve had over the years and I enjoyed the job,” Champley said.
During his time with the Animal Control department, Champley was “a steadfast administrator committed to promoting and preserving the love and care of animals” and the county’s regional values, Ogle County Board

OREGON – Northern Illinois University will close the Lorado Taft Field Campus in December because of “aging infrastructure” and increasing operational costs.
NIU’s media relations department confirmed the decision Monday and said the 141-acre facility, located adjacent to Lowden State Park and north of Oregon, will close permanently Dec. 15.
“This was a difficult decision because Lorado Taft has been a favorite destination for members of our community as well as Illinois children and youth who have enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and camp facilities,” said Rena Cotsones, vice president and chief engagement officer of the Division of Outreach, Engagement and Regional Development.
The Lorado Taft Field Campus originally was part of the Wallace Heckman estate and Eagle’s Nest Art Colony that overlooks the Rock River Valley from a high vantage point on the east bank of the river. It is adjacent to Lowden State Park, which is the home of Lorado Taft’s Eternal Indian statue, commonly referred to as the Black Hawk Statue.
NIU acquired a portion of the Heckman estate in 1951, six years after Lowden State Park was created. NIU

The Taft Campus, located in Lowden State Park north of Oregon, has several buildings with exceptional views of the Rock River Valley. This building often is used for bird watching.
named the campus after Lorado Taft and ran it as a field campus offering outdoor education classes and camps for schoolchildren across northern Illinois.
NIU discontinued its outdoor education degree program in 1999, Costones said in the statement.
“Why Lorado Taft and why now?” Cotsones said. “Since it began operating as a youth camp when the univer-
sity discontinued the outdoor education degree program in 1999, the operation of the facility has required significant financial backing. That support has climbed substantially as client preferences changed after the pandemic. While the rustic buildings are picturesque, they are inefficient, antiquated and in need of costly repair. The aging infrastructure, including a wastewater treatment facility that has
exceeded its functional lifespan, would require millions of dollars of investment to bring it to modern standards.”
Costones said that while the Taft Campus has been “a special place and has provided great outdoor experiences for generations of young people,” it no longer aligns with NIU’s “current mission and goals.”
“The university must invest its resources in programs and initiatives that more directly contribute to NIU student success and our other academic priorities,” Cotsones said.
She said the majority of the Lorado Taft staff will be able to transfer to jobs on the DeKalb campus or at a regional center.
“We are working closely with all impacted employees and clients to help plan the best path forward possible,” she said. “If your personal experience with Lorado Taft has been enhanced by a Lorado Taft staff member, now would be a great time to reach out to let them know that their work was appreciated.”
The Taft Campus property includes works by Lorado Taft, a dining hall that overlooks the Rock River, other buildings, dorms and wooded areas and trails.
Asked if NIU planned to sell the property, the media relations department replied: “University leaders are currently exploring options for future stewardship of this unique property.”
Yellow Rock Solar will produce 4.99 megawatts of electricity, enough to power about 800 single-family homes
By ALEXA ZOELLNER azoellner@shawmedia.com
OREGON – Developers of a 4.99-megawatt community solar facility last week got the go-ahead from the Ogle County Board to move forward with a project that could power about 800 single-family homes.
Ogle County Board members Sept. 17 voted to grant Yellow Rock Solar LLC a special-use permit to build in the 2000 block of South Daysville Road in Oregon-Nashua Township. The solar project will cover about 46.46 acres of a 156.13-acre property.
The vote was a voice vote, meaning there was no roll call. A clear majority of board members voted in favor of approving the request.
Yellow Rock Solar LLC is a subsidiary of Cypress Creek Renewables,
which has one of its corporate offices in Chicago. Other offices are located in North Carolina, California, New York and Washington, D.C.
“It’s a roughly 5 megawatt community solar project in Illinois designed to help residents with their bills,” Cypress Creek Renewables Project Developer Ryan Anderson said. “It’s part of the Illinois Shines program.”
Illinois Shines provides incentives to solar vendors to develop different types of projects that can be passed on to customers, according to IllinoisShines.com.
The program helps people find approved solar vendors, understand what kind of project type would be best for them and understand each option’s financial considerations, according to the website.
There are two main ways to participate in Illinois Shines – community solar and distributed generation. Distributed generation is when solar panels are installed on the roof or a structure or land nearby, according to Illinois Shines. Only the property where the panels are installed benefits.
Community solar involves large, centralized projects that provide electricity to multiple subscribers without access to their own panels, according to the website. Subscribers receive credits on their utility bills for their share of power generated.
“I think an important distinction about community solar … is that this goes straight to the customers,”
Cypress Creek Renewables Associate Director Christy Winer said after the meeting. “Customers can choose to sign up for this and they can sign up for any project within their utility territory.”
Cypress Creek’s initial request for a special-use permit was denied because of concerns about the project’s location on prime farmland and its proximity to a nearby subdivision, county board member Dan Janes said. The developers took feedback into account and adjusted their plan before bringing the request back to the county, he said.
The fix was to move the solar panels to a part of the land parcel that had lower quality soil, Anderson said.
“I appreciate the diligence of the
developer who understands now what our goals are as a county and the protection of the soils and [their willingness] to make things work,” Janes said.
Janes chairs the Supervisor of Assessments and Planning and Zoning Committee, which on Sept. 10 voted 5-2 to forward Cypress Creek’s petition to the full county board.
The Ogle County Zoning Board of Appeals on Aug. 29 voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the petition.
“We’re happy to work with the county on these prime farmland issues that we were experiencing,” Anderson said. “We’re just excited to move forward and go to the next step.”
Cypress Creek expects to invest about $10 million into the project, of which $4 million will be spent locally, Anderson said.
The goal is to have Yellow Rock Solar in commercial operation in 2026, he said.
During the build, Cypress Creek plans to contract with as many local vendors as possible, Anderson said. Historically, about 20 local jobs are created during construction, he said.

OREGON – A 12-year-old boy who police said made a “threat of violence” against Oregon High School last week appeared in Ogle County juvenile court for a second time Tuesday and remains under the custody of his mother.
The boy is charged with making a terrorist threat and disorderly conduct, both felonies, Ogle County State’s Attorney Mike Rock said.
The nature of the threat has not been released and was not available through court records.
The juvenile justice system for youths ages 10 to 18 is different from the criminal system for adults. Offenses are considered delinquent acts rather than crimes and cases are “adjudicated delinquent” rather than “found guilty.” Adjudication is the process wherein a judge determines if the juvenile committed the offense.
Names of juveniles charged with offenses are not released to the public.
The boy’s first court appearance was a Sept. 20 hearing where he was represented by Ogle County Public Defender Michael O’Brien with Judge
Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle reports the following activity:
Sept. 14
About 11:30 p.m., deputies and Monroe Township and Kirkland Community fire protection districts responded to a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Illinois Route 72 and North Mulford Road. An investigation showed a Nissan was northbound on North Mulford Road when it disregarded a stop sign at the intersection and collided with a westbound Hyundai on Route 72. The adult male victim and driver of the Hyundai were taken to a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. The occupants of the Nissan fled the scene. The incident remains under investigation.
Sept. 16
Charles J. Navarro, 31, of Rochelle, was arrested for driving while license suspended after a traffic stop at 11:39 a.m. on Illinois Route 251 at Grubsteakers Restaurant. Navarro also was cited for operating a motor vehicle with suspended registration. Navarro was released on a notice to appear with a future court date.
Dennis M. Shaw, 62, of Mt. Morris, was arrested for domestic battery after deputies responded about 5 p.m. to the 2000 block of West Mud Creek Road in
Clayton Lindsey presiding. Assistant State’s Attorney Matthew Leisten represented the state.
At the start of that hearing, Lindsey asked three people who entered the courtroom with the boy’s mother to leave. He also asked the news media to leave. Lindsey allowed the mother, probation officers and a police officer to remain. Under state law, members of the news media are allowed to cover juvenile hearings.
After the hearing, Leisten said the boy was released from custody with special conditions. Those conditions, as well as other information regarding the court hearing, were not available Friday.
On Tuesday, the boy appeared before Judge John “Ben” Roe and was represented by Ashley Davis of Rockford. Assistant State’s Attorney Richard Russo represented the state.
Davis asked Roe to modify the conditions of the boy’s release so other adults could help supervise him as his case proceeds through the court system.
Russo did not object and Roe granted the request. The boy’s next court date is 1:30 p.m. Oct. 29.
The boy had been held in custody
Mt. Morris. Shaw was taken to the Ogle County jail and held pending a court appearance.
Sept. 18
Jessica N. Britto, 34, of Davis Junction, was arrested for driving while license revoked after a traffic stop at 1:19 p.m. in the 6000 block of north Illinois Route 251. She also was cited for no insurance and driving while license suspended. Britto was taken to the Ogle County jail, booked and released on a notice to appear with a future court date.
Sept. 19
Stanislaw Sikora, 62, of Monroe Center, was arrested for an active failure to appear Cook County warrant for domestic battery after deputies checked on a person walking near the intersection of Mulford Road and South Street in Monroe Center about 12:58 p.m. Sikora was taken to the Ogle County jail and held in lieu of bond.
Ivan Johnson, 60, of Rockford, was arrested for driving while license revoked and a failure to appear Ogle County warrant for driving while license suspended after a traffic stop about 1 p.m. in the 8000 block of north Illinois Route 251. Johnson also was cited for operating an uninsured vehicle and operating a vehicle with suspended
after he was charged Sept. 19 with making the threat, which police said appeared on social media.
The Oregon Police Department, in collaboration with the FBI-Rockford Office, allege he made the threat through social media late on the evening of Wednesday, Sept. 17. Oregon Police Chief Matt Kalnins and Oregon Superintendent P.J. Caposey issued a joint news release Sept. 19 stating the agencies had concluded the threat was not credible.
Kalnins said the alleged threat of violence was planned for Friday, Sept. 20, and was being investigated by local law enforcement in cooperation with the FBI-Rockford Office and school administrators.
Caposey said a message alerting parents of the “situation” was sent out between 8:45 and 9 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 18, following the school’s homecoming parade and bonfire.
“We want to reassure our community that the investigation confirmed there is no immediate danger to the students, staff or the broader school community,” Kalnins said in the second news release Sept. 19. “The safety and well-being of Oregon’s students and school staff are, and will always
be, our top priority.
Kalnins said “to ensure ongoing security and peace of mind” Oregon police officers maintained a strong presence around the school Sept. 20, as well as throughout the weekend’s homecoming festivities.
According to state statute, a person “commits the offense of falsely making a terrorist threat when in any manner he or she knowingly makes a threat to commit or cause to be committed a terrorist act ... or otherwise knowingly creates the impression or belief that a terrorist act is about to be or has been committed, or in any manner knowingly makes a threat to commit or cause to be committed a catastrophe as defined ... that he or she knows is false.”
Disorderly conduct is the “unlawful interruption of the peace, quiet or order of a community, including offenses called disturbing the peace, vagrancy, loitering, unlawful assembly and riot.”
Anyone with questions or concerns is asked to call the Oregon Police Department at 815-732-2162 or the school district office at 815-732-5300.

registration. Johnson was released on a notice to appear for the driving while license revoked, but held in lieu of bond for the warrant.
Sept. 20
Bonita Kirby, 34, of Rock Falls, was arrested for driving while license revoked, active warrants from Winnebago and Lee counties, possession of controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia after a traffic stop about 1:15 a.m. on Interstate 39 mile marker 104. Suspected methamphetamine was found during an inventory of the vehicle subject to being towed. Kirby also was cited for suspended registration and inoperable registration light. Kirby was taken to the Ogle County jail, released on a notice to appear for the traffic and drug charges with a 9 a.m. Oct. 11 court date, but held in lieu of bond for the outstanding warrants.
Jair M. Granados-Ramirez, 30, of Oregon, was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident after deputies and the Rochelle Fire Department responded about 5 p.m. to a two-vehicle crash in the 2000 block of south Illinois Route 251. An investigation showed Granados-Ramirez was driving a Chrysler and rear-ended a Kia. All involved in the crash were not injured.
Sept. 21
Mary Cesar, 57, of Wheaton, was cited for failure to yield while turning left after deputies and the Rochelle Fire Department responded about 5:22 p.m. to a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of East Flagg and South Brooklyn roads. An investigation showed Cesar was driving a Honda and turned left onto South Brooklyn Road. The Honda was struck by a motorcycle driven by Daniel Minella, 42, of Hampshire. Minella and a passenger, Megan A. Decker, 41, of Hampshire, were taken to a hospital for serious injuries. Sept. 22
Robert A. Ray, 55, of Rockford, was arrested for aggravated driving while license revoked, driving while license revoked and possession of drug paraphernalia after a traffic stop at 2:35 p.m. on North German Church Road just south of Illinois Route 72. Ray also was cited for no valid registration, operating an uninsured motor vehicle and illegal possession of alcoholic liquor/driver. Ray was taken to the Ogle County jail and released on a notice to appear with a future court date. The Byron Police Department assisted.
Charges are accusations and all people are presumed innocent unless proved guilty in a court of law.
OREGON – Ogle and Carroll County fourth and fifth graders descended upon the Ogle County Fairgrounds on Sept. 5 and 6 to harvest information about modern agriculture and its influences on daily living. Hosted by the University of Illinois Extension, Ag Awareness Days ‘24 took 338 youths on a fastpaced, interactive, guided tour of science, engineering and technology that drive today’s farm operations.
Students engaged in 30-minute workshops led by agricultural professionals and had opportunities to mingle with livestock, explore ag careers, chat with a traveling vet, discuss basic biotechnology concepts, learn about crops, navigate waypoints and discuss how much soil it takes to grow crops.
Participating classrooms represented were Chadwick-Milledgeville School, Creston Community School, Eswood Community Consoli-

dated School, Monroe Center Grade School, Oregon Elementary School and West Carroll Primary School.
This was the 22nd consecutive year for the University of Illinois Extension’s award-winning Ag Awareness Days program. It is intended for participants to think twice the next time they fry an egg, pass a cornfield turned into a subdivision, put on their
leather boots, wrap up in a wool blanket, drink a glass of milk or eat a bowl of cereal. Workshops included “Harvesting Honey,” “Doctoring the Barnyard,” “Ag Careers,” “Harnessing the Wind,” “Bite into Beef,” “Engineering Ethanol,” “Growing Up Grain,” “Horses on the Farm,” “Water ... Pure and Simple,” “Insect Heroes and Villains,” “Going Whole Hog” and
“Layers of Land.”
Many students reported they most enjoyed hearing firsthand the daily events of a livestock vet, harvesting honey
and using a GPS unit to find hidden coordinates in a scavenger hunt. Students also had fun collecting fact cards at each of the workshop stations.

The information Think Before You Post: Hoax Threats are Serious Federal Crimes can be found on the FBI website. It reads, in part:
In recent months, the FBI and law enforcement around the country have investigated a number of hoax threats of targeted violence against schools and other public places. These threats – often issued via text message or posted on social media –are taken very seriously. Hoax threats are not a joke and they can have devastating consequences both for the public and for the perpetrators, according to the FBI.
Issuing a threat even over social

Chairman John Finfrock said, reading from a resolution honoring Champley.
“Tom Champley’s unwavering vision and community commitment will provide a lasting legacy,” Finfrock read.
Board member Tom Smith thanked Champley for his work and the staff he put in place.
“They’re the front door, the back door, and you put them there,” Smith said.
The Ogle County Animal Control department employs two full-time staff members, one part-time person and one or two weekend assistants, Champley said in an interview Sept. 18.
“I’ve had some great staff over all the years and it makes the job very enjoyable and much easier when you have good people working for you,” he said.
Champley said he requested that there not be a retirement party, but the staff surprised him with one a couple of weeks ago anyway.
media, via text message or through email is a federal crime (threatening interstate communications). Those who post or send these threats can receive up to five years in federal prison or they can face state or local charges, according to the FBI.
“The Bureau and its law enforcement partners take each threat seriously. We investigate and fully analyze each threat to determine its credibility,” FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich said. “Hoax threats disrupt school, waste limited law enforcement resources and put first responders in unnecessary danger. We also don’t want to see a young person start out adulthood with a felony record over an impulsive social media post. It’s not a joke. Always think before you post.”
Animal Control and the work they do sometimes gets taken for granted, Champley said.
More than 60,000 people die worldwide from rabies each year, he said. Typically, less than 10 of those are in the U.S, but it still is a “mind-boggling” number, Champley said.
“Sometimes people think we’re being really dramatic when we make people confine their dog when they’ve bit someone, but we never, ever want one to fall through the cracks where somebody got rabies because we didn’t do our job,” he said.
For many years, Champley owned Pines Meadow Veterinary Clinic in Oregon, where he worked since graduating from the University of Illinois with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1971. He sold the clinic about seven years ago and retired fully a year after that.
The Sept. 17 recognition meant a lot, Champley said.
“You do something – even though it was part time – for that long, it was very nice they recognized me,” he said.

Well, Northern Illinois’ honeymoon as America’s Team has come to an end after losing in overtime to Buffalo. After its big win over Notre Dame, the Huskies reveled in being the talk of the town.
The largest crowd in several years of 18,000 showed up at Huskie Stadium only to witness an embarrassing loss to an average Buffalo team. From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows, sports can be an emotional roller coaster. In the high-paced world of college football, the loss has taken the Huskies off the national radar, something so hard to attain as a mid-level college.
One football team that has stayed on top of the state’s radar is Byron. In all corners of Illinois, the Tigers are receiving acclaim. Relatively speaking, other than East St. Louis, Byron may be considered the most revered team thus far.
I look forward to seeing them play this week and comparing them with last year’s juggernaut. I’m also curious to see if Oregon can keep them from a running clock. That is considered a win when opponents face them.
Everyone except Lombard Montini. But with a 2-2 record and brutal schedule, the Broncos are in danger of miss-

ing the playoffs. Right now, they appear to be the only Class 3A opponent that could challenge Byron.
Some feel traditional power Wilmington may give Byron a game, but I’m not seeing it. And at an enrollment of 409, Wilmington may end up in 2A.
If Oregon (417 enrollment) makes the playoffs, a 2A berth is what it is hoping for. If that’s the case, it likely would be the largest school.
In 8-man football, it continues to be the haves and have-nots as blowouts abound. Amboy, Milledgeville and Polo are making claims as the three best teams in the state.
The “Battle of the Blacktop” with Polo traveling the 12 miles to Milledgeville is Oct. 4. Should be a great atmosphere with both squads likely coming in undefeated.
Forreston’s 13-year run of playoff appearances appears to be coming to an end and there is no shame in that. The Cardinals (1-3) play good ball, but sometimes you don’t have the talent to keep
up with the elite teams in the Northwest Upstate Illini Conference. Credit to Forreston for an impressive run and all its success in the postseason.
It isn’t just football where the NUIC shines. In volleyball, Durand, Galena, Eastland, Lena-Winslow and Stockton all have been highly ranked this fall.
Standing next to Jon and Diane Murray of Mt. Morris and watching Oregon’s homecoming parade, we began to wonder when the art of float making went away. Diane vividly remembered the excitement of her sophomore class at Beardstown winning the award for best float among all the classes.
That was back in the early 1970s when floats were elaborately decorated with much thought going into them. A few days later while perusing Facebook, I came upon some Mt. Morris floats from the mid-1980s that were decorated.
It doesn’t seem like class floats are a thing anymore. Maybe there are schools that do them in an elaborate fashion, but I’m not seeing it. That’s OK. Times change.
In observance of National Cheeseburger Day, Cody Cutter of Sauk Valley Media, an avid high school sports fan,
listed his top five places on Facebook:
1. JC’s Junction Corner (Davis Junction): A smashburger that only gets better when stacked. Sometimes serves cheeseburger egg rolls and once had a combination burger/pork chop.
2. Ridott Corners (Ridott, east of Freeport): They are made on an 80-year-old grill, which gives the burgers a unique taste.
3. Fat Boys (Morrison): Been going there for years. Fat Boy burger never disappoints.
4. The Mill Wheel Tavern (Milledgeville): Many unique varieties. Mine is their three cheese garlic.
5. Almont Tap (north of Clinton): Open only three nights a week. They have a 3/4-pounder and a stuffed jalapeno burger
Honorable mention: Hunt Club (Oregon), Buddy’s Burgers (Rockford), Lodi Tap (Maple Park/Utica), Crusade and RowdYs (both in Yorkville).
Bonus: If you’re ever up near Duluth, The Anchor Bar and Grill in Superior is the best burger I’ve had on my road trips. Close second is Redamak’s in New Buffalo, Michigan.

PEARL CITY – Eastland-Pearl City senior quarterback Adam Awender had an efficient night running the ball Sept. 20, to say the least.
Rushing the ball only seven times, Awender had four touchdowns and 186 yards in a 36-16 win over visiting Forreston as the Wildcatz improved to 3-1 overall and 3-1 in the Northwest Upstate Illini Conference.
The victory avenged a 34-20 loss last season and was their first win over the Cardinals (1-3, 1-3 NUIC) since 2018.
Awender said it took everyone doing their jobs up front. He had rushing touchdowns on three straight carries at one point.
“They’re all blocking hard,” he said, “and playing to the whistle.”
After a scoreless first quarter, Awender’s first rushing TD came at the 11:11 mark in the second quarter. A Draven Zier two-point rushing conversion made it 8-0.
About 10 minutes later, E-PC got a fourth-down stop and Awender took the ball 80 yards to the house on the next play to make it 14-0 and give all the momentum to the Wildcatz.
Awender took his fifth carry 51 yards for a touchdown to make it 20-0.
Forreston’s Evan Boettner got the Cardinals on the board with a 3-yard touchdown followed by a Mickey Probst two-point catch from Brady Gill to make it 20-8.
E-PC extended its lead in the fourth quarter as Zier
Eastland-Pearl City’s Adam Awender runs from Forreston defenders for a touchdown Sept. 20.
had a rushing touchdown to make it 28-8. Boettner’s second rushing score made it 28-16 before Awender’s fourth touchdown from 40 yards out was the dagger with 2:41 left.
E-PC coach Jared McNutt said he tries not to overcoach Awender.
“There’s some things he does really well with the ball in his hands,” McNutt said. “Even if he doesn’t make technically the right read, he’s still going to make a play out of it. He’s a gamer.”
Zier had 90 yards rushing and Jaxsyn Kempel had 20 more on the ground. Awender completed his only pass to Payton Spears for seven yards.
On defense, the Wildcatz limited the big plays on
the ground and forced Forreston into the uncomfortable position of passing the ball in the second half.
Boettner had 64 yards rushing, Jon Milnes had 53 and Dane Setterstrom had 40. Forreston had only four runs go 10 yards or more with a long of 24 yards coming late in the game. E-PC also got an interception by Jacob Runkle off a tipped pass.
The Wildcatz showed they could score on a big play or grind out a methodical drive on the ground. They play at Stockton on Friday.
Forreston coach Kenyon Janicke said getting stopped on fourth down before Awender’s long run before halftime was a difference-maker. The Cardinals could have tied the game at 8-all going into the break.
“It takes all the momentum away from us and gives it to them,” he said. “There were some things I thought we could have done better, but we’re still fighting to the end. Proud of our guys’ effort and how well they competed. Just came up short against a really good E-PC team.”
Forreston is content to have long drives a few yards at a time, but they can’t come up empty.
“We still grinded and we still ran hard. We’ve just gotta finish drives with points,” he said. “Especially on a long 10-minute drive like we did in the second quarter.”
Forreston hits the road and travels to Morrison this week.
“Our season’s on the line every week and we’re going to keep working hard,” Janicke said, “and hopefully we’re going to be in these close battles and hopefully we start getting some that go our way.”
