During his visit, Sanders toured the district’s elementary and high schools, exploring various parts of the schools and learning about the district’s history.

At the elementary School, Sanders visited a first-grade classroom, where he read “The Duckling Gets a Cookie!” by Mo Willems, the school district said in a news release. Sanders then engaged with a fourth-grade class, answering questions about his role as state superintendent and participating in a New England map quiz, which was part of the class’s social studies lesson.

OREGON – Strong winds over the weekend didn’t stop thousands from visiting Oregon’s 53rd annual Autumn on Parade.
The popular fall festival took place Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 5-6, with events throughout downtown Oregon. It included a craft market, car and tractor show, Olde English Fair at Stronghold Camp & Retreat Center and a parade that, this year, featured more than 100 entries.
“We were very blessed by the weather we were given by the weekend,” said Debbie Dickson, Autumn on
Parade board president. “That was a bonus.”
The craft market had a couple “booth casualties” from the wind on Saturday, but volunteers quickly pitched in to help right the tents, Dickson said.
“Everybody got back on their feet and cleaned up and had a positive attitude and great spirit,” she said.
The market is the keystone of Autumn on Parade, and the reason the festival exists, Dickson said. The first year, there were seven vendors; this year, there were more than 200, she said.
“Without those vendors coming
from far and wide, we wouldn’t have an event at all,” Dickson said.
There was a great turnout for the Entertainment HotSpot, the food court, Family Fun Zone and the Harvest Time Parade, she said.
The Family Fun Zone is a vibrant and creative entertainment option for children for which families are grateful, Dickson said.
Looking at Oregon at 8 a.m. the Friday prior to Autumn on Parade, no one would guess anything special was happening, but come back 12 hours later and that all changes, she said.
“It’s like, ‘What in the world is going on here?’ because it goes from an
absolutely blank canvas to, ‘Oh, these guys are having a festival,’ ” Dickson said. “To me, that’s amazing. Then come back at 8 p.m. Sunday and it’s all cleaned up.”
The ability to make that happen “speaks volumes” of Autumn on Parade’s volunteers and supporters, she said.
“Across the board, this is a teamwork-driven event,” Dickson said. “It’s been all volunteer. We do it for love of community. We know it’s the right thing to do and it’s a feel-good situation at the end when we look around and see the energy that the event brings to our town.”
COUNTY HISTORY
Otto Dick
Recently during our evening ride in Ogle County we visited the White Pines Park. I stopped and visited with four men sitting outside the gift shop and cafeteria. They questioned me on the history of the Pines. Even though I had visited the Pines many times since my family moved to Oregon in 1947 from Indiana I knew very little about its history.
While researching the history, I learned this 385-acre park contains the southernmost remaining stand of native white pine trees in the state of Illinois. In 1903, the Illinois Legislature passed a bill appropriating $30,000 to purchase the forest for a state park, but the measure was vetoed. “It was not until 1927 that the forest was acquired for a state park at a cost of $63,000 for 385 acres from the 17 people who owned this property.”
From 1932 to 1938 the Civilian Conservation Corps established a camp in the park and did considerable work to establish and improve the area so it would be an attractive place for people to visit. This group of men built the lodge, cabins, river fords, roads, trails, campgrounds, shelters, picnic tables, playgrounds, parking areas and made other improvements to make the White Pines State Park an attractive and pleasant place.
from 1927 shows cars
Today the park provides the perfect recipe for family getaways. Among the park’s most interesting features are the concrete fords that span the Pine Creek allowing visitors to drive through the flowing stream. There are several campsites with vehicular access. There are two youth group campgrounds and six campsites accessible for the physically challenged camper.
There are 13 one-room cabins and
three cabins with four rooms. Each cabin sleeps four people and is complete with shower, gas log fireplace, one queen bed and one trundle bed. The cabins are air conditioned and heated with telephones and televisions.
The White Pines Lodge restaurant can accommodate up to 223 people. There are several meeting/banquet rooms that seat up to 125. Wedding receptions, retreats, seminars and
family reunions are just some of the events held at the restaurant. This park is located 8 miles west of Oregon, and 6 miles east of Polo. The southern border of the park is Pines Road and it borders the CB and Q Railroad on the north.

This past week I spent most of my time typing away on the application and I am almost finished on all the Waterbury brothers that came to help John Waterbury Sr. with the Underground Railroad in this area.
Then there were others who came to help and we read very little about them. But they were listed when the newspaper would list a group of names.
Then come the wives who were very much a part as they fed people in their homes and outfitted them with new clothing. Maybe they did not travel with a wagon load of slaves to the next stop but they were always ready for the next group of fugitives that came to their homes.
So it was nice to have a little break with a garage sale at my house. Most of it came from families elsewhere but I did put in a few things. I had a small little antique chest of drawers that
POLO HISTORY

stood by my sewing machine filled with sewing supplies
One whole drawer was filled with thread and some of it had come from the old garment factory where they made clothes many years ago. Another drawer had zippers, binding tape, snaps, hooks and eyes and elastic. It all needed to be in someone else’s home since I do not sew any more.
So I had placed them out on the table along with all the other pretty stuff. I wondered if anybody would even be interested but along came a Mennonite mother with all her darling children. Of course she sews. All the little girls had on matching dresses. My sewing stuff no longer
used by me went home with her. I was delighted.
I also had an extra recliner that I did not use and I decided it needed to be in someone else’s home. Susan and Tim had carried it out on Friday morning and in 15 minutes it was gone. Someone came by in their golf cart and he had been looking for one so Tim loaded it up on his cart and away it went to his happy home.
I also met all of my neighbors and it was nice to visit on such a beautiful warm day. Some of Kenneth’s cousins came over and we chatted with them. They actually went back home, got their wives and we had a great visit.
Susan and Tim have beautiful beds of zinnias this year so she had bouquets of flowers in lovely milk glass vases for sale and the money went to Natalie to use in her classroom. Several people went home with lovely flowers and Natalie appreciated the
thoughtfulness of people thinking of teachers.
I think a garage sale is an exchange of things. The things you no longer want ends up in somebody else’s house and somebody else’s things come to your house. After the barn sale and garage sale, I have in my house my mother’s trunk, three director’s chairs of my brother’s that have traveled down through the family, some beautiful pictures that will hang in my guest room, baskets, and some darling Halloween decorations. I love my new things.
I also on my kitchen counter have a beautiful bouquet of zinnias in an unusual glass vase that had been part of Tim’s collection of glass containers. Those flowers seem to last forever.

OREGON – Bands, floats, and plenty of fun were all part of Autumn on Parade’s Harvest Time Parade held Sunday, Oct. 6, in downtown Oregon.
And one very special entry also “danced” their way along the parade route.
Milwaukee’s “Dancing Grannies” were a hit with spectators as they twirled their golden pom-poms on the sunny afternoon.
The troupe was formed in 1984 when a senior women’s aerobics class was asked to demonstrate the class in a parade.
According to the “Dancing Gran -
nies” website, other parade invitations followed. “Having so much fun, the group decided to add costumes, pompoms to their routines and the Milwaukee Dancing Grannies were born.”
The Grannies have become a staple in Wisconsin parades and perform in many parades each year.
In November 2021, four members of the Dancing Grannies were killed in the Waukesha, Wisconsin Christmas parade attack, but that has not stopped the troupe from marching on.
“While deeply wounded by the Waukesha parade tragedy, we will not let that define us. And, we will always ‘Keep on Dancing,’ ” according to the website.

FORRESTON – The inaugural class of Forreston High School Hall of Fame’s was introduced during halftime of the varsity football game on Oct. 4.

The following information was read during the presentation.
Dedication: To meet this qualification individuals must be past staff members and have demonstrated their deep commitment to Forreston students, parents, community or staff.
• Colleen Alvey – Colleen Alvey taught many subjects but her main focus was always mathematics in both Leaf River and Forreston from 19732005.

• Chip Braker – Chip Braker was band director at Forreston for 30 years. During his tenure he was a part of 13 state titles in class C, two second-place finishes, and three thirdplace finishes. He was blessed to work with several chorus directors who shined and helped Forreston get those many state titles. For those who had Mr. Braker, they understood the importance of dedication, work ethic, and more importantly that a person’s character is essential to being a success outside of the classroom.
• Bob Brinkmeier – Better known as “Coach Brinkmeier,” he was head coach for boys basketball for 18 years including 13 of those being 20-win seasons. His dedication to teaching fundamentals of basketball was unmatched but more importantly, his unselfish commitment to school and community was paramount.

Extra-Curricular: To qualify in this category individuals must be graduates with extracurricular participation in non-athletic or athletic activities who were recognized for excellence by their organization or team for at least two years. These nominees must have been out of school for at least five years.
• Robert DeVries (2015 Graduate) – Robert DeVries was a three-sport athlete
at Forreston. He was key to the first football state championship in 2014 and the fourth-place basketball state finish in the 2014-15 season.

It was Robert’s leadership abilities and drive to be the best that separated him and made all of his teammates better.
• Roger DeVries (1957 Graduate) – Roger played every sport possible in high school and was successful at all. His greatest achievements were in basketball where he still holds the scoring record for Forreston High School with 52 points in a single game. Keep in mind, there was no three-point line in 1957. Roger played center and was a key player on the 56-57 basketball team.
• Marissa (Ludewig) Gurnett (1996 Graduate) – Marissa Ludewig, now Gurnett, was a three-sport athlete at Forreston. Although her successes in volleyball and basketball were tremendous, her 10 state medals in track and field set her apart. From 1993-1996 she medaled in the 4x400 meter relay, long jump, 4x100 meter relay, and the 400 meter run. Marissa went on to run at Western Illinois University where she was first team all conference and WIU Team MVP.
• Jonathan Schneiderman (1999 Graduate) – Jonathan Schneiderman, also known currently as Coach Schneiderman, is well known for his basketball skills. His four years of all-conference recognition and all-state recognition in 1999 was only the beginning of his accomplishments at Forreston. He holds the scoring record with 1,765 points and several other records. Coach went on to play at UIC where he led the Horizon league in shooting per-
centage and played in the NCAA Tournament vs. the No. 2 seed, Oklahoma. Returning to Forreston High School as a coach, he led the basketball team to five regional titles and two sectionals. Service: Individuals must be graduates who have contributed significantly to their community, state or country and been out of school for at least five years.
• Joel Ludwig – Joel Ludwig is a 1987 graduate of Forreston High School where he was manager on the football team and band member for all four years. Joel was passionate about sports and that passion for helping people and specifically “the kids” led him to running the youth summer ball program through the Lions Club for over 15 years. His generosity and willingness to give back to his community through the Lions Club, Foundation board member, and Board of Education member made Joel a truly special person. He died in 2021. Ludwig’s wife Shawnda and his children Allison, Samantha, Jackie and Joel accepted the award on his behalf.
Teamwork: A team or organization that demonstrated outstanding achievement.
• 1956-1957 Boys Basketball Team – The 1957 team finished 29-2 and scored more than 100 points in three games in 1957. This was done without a threepoint line! They averaged almost 20 points more per game than their opponent. One of the most memorable basketball games in Forreston history was when they traveled to Sterling in the IHSA state series to take on Rockford West, defending state champions, and won to advance to the state tournament. This was all done in a oneclass system in 1957.
• 1980-1981 Girls Basketball Team – The
1980-81 girls basketball team was the first girls team to make it to state, playing at Assembly Hall at the University of Illinois where they lost to Quincy-Notre Dame in a close match-up where they fell behind early but cut the lead to two points in the second half. Finishing 21-3 overall for the season and 13-1 in conference for their third consecutive conference championship. To advance to state they beat Polo, Mt. Morris, Mendota, Newman and Morrison.
• 1995 & 1996 Girls Track & Field Teams – The 1995 and 1996 girls track and field teams took first place at sectionals both years and in 1995 second place at state and in 1996 taking third place at state. This was done in a two-class system, not the current four-class system. These teams saw many successes and seven state medalists including Amber Harhen, Jennifer Mennenga, Mandy Scheffner, Marissa Gurnett, Danelle Setterstrom, Erin Moncelle and Jennifer Madden.
• 2014 State Champion Football Team –The 2014 Football Team was the first state championship athletic team in Forreston history. They compiled a regular season record of 8-1. In the first round of the playoffs they defeated Fulton 53-20, second round was Chicago Hope 49-6, quarterfinals was Stark County 33-19, then Galena at home in the semifinals, winning 28-20 scoring on the final drive of the game in the north endzone leaving only 14 seconds left on the clock.

SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN TO BEFORE ME THIS 2nd DAY OF October, A.D. 2024
By EARLEEN HINTON ehinton@shawmedia.com
OREGON – A Stillman Valley man was sentenced to four years in prison Monday for two counts of possessing images of children being sexually abused.
Joshua Lake, 30, of Stillman Valley, received the sentences through a “joint recommended disposition” as he appeared in court with his attorney, Matthew Schuck, and Assistant State’s Attorney Matthew Leisten for a sentencing hearing.
He was found guilty Aug. 21 by an Ogle County jury following a two-day trial.
Under the agreement, Lake was sentenced to four years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for each Class 2 felony count of possessing the images. Lake must serve 50% of each sentence in prison.
Lake received 367 days credit for time served, which leaves approximately one year left to serve in prison for one count. After that sentence is fulfilled, he will begin serving another count’s four-year sentence.
Once that sentence is fulfilled at 50%, he will begin serving his probation sentence. The DOC will then determine if he will be released on mandatory supervised release.
His probation includes supplemental orders including any counseling
Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle reports the following activity: Sept. 30
Brenda Rivera Alvarado, 20, of Rockford, was cited for driving while suspended and failing to yield at a stop intersection after deputies responded to a two-vehicle crash at North Mulford Road and Illinois Route 72 around 7:23 a.m. An investigation showed Rivera Alvarado failed to yield to an eastbound semi-tractor trailer driven by Jose Romo, 23, of Stone Park. No injuries were reported. Rivera Alvarado was released from the scene on a notice to appear.
Tristen M. Austin, 22, of Mt. Morris, was arrested for an outstanding Stephenson County warrant after a traffic stop at Illinois Route 2 and Townhall Road around 10:49 p.m. Austin was transported to the Ogle County Jail and held in lieu of bond.
required by the probation department.
When asked by Judge John Redington if Lake understood the terms of the sentencing, he replied, “Yeah.”
Lake’s fines and fees totaled $44,100, and were considered paid in full due to his posted bond.
As a condition of sentence, Lake agreed not to file an appeal for any issues related to his jury trial.
“Mr. Lake, do you understand this agreement,” Redington asked. “Yeah,” Lake replied.
Lake’s mother asked Redington it she could make a brief statement, which Redington denied.
Last month, Schuck requested a 402 conference, which is an open, informal process where attorneys and a judge discuss relevant information regarding the case and a potential outcome. Defendants are not present during the conference, but must agree to waive their presence before it is held.
Lake was indicted in May 2021 on 10 counts of possessing and disseminating photos and videos of the alleged abuses in November 2018. Before the start of his trial, prosecutors dismissed seven of the counts, including two dis-
Oct. 1
Deputies responded to a motorcycle crash in the 7100 block of North River Road at 10:17 a.m. An investigation showed a 16-year-old boy lost control of his motorcycle while traveling south and had gone into the southbound ditch. The 16-year-old was injured and taken to a Rockford hospital by the Byron Fire Protection District EMS. Charges are pending.
Jennifer Albright, 44, of Leaf River, was arrested for aggravated battery to a police officer (Class 2 felony) after deputies responded to a 911 hang-up in the 100 block of North Main Street in Leaf River about 11:43 p.m. Upon arrival, deputies learned a domestic had occurred and began speaking with all involved parties. While investigating, Albright struck a deputy. Albright was transported to the Ogle County jail and
semination charges that alleged he shared the images.
That left three Class 2 felonies that charged Lake with possessing videos of children – all younger than 13 –engaged in sexual acts with adults and other children.
During the trial, Assistant State’s Attorney Allison Huntley told jurors that all of the videos were found through an investigation of Lake’s phone and a review of social media accounts.
She said the phone had “disgusting images on it” and she was sure it was Lake’s phone because “his name is all over it.”
Schuck disagreed, arguing that the phone with the videos on it did not belong to his client. He said anybody could set up a Facebook account and that criteria should not have been used to determine whose phone it was.
Schuck claimed the phone belonged to Lake’s older brother, whom he said left for Russia when charges were filed. He argued that prosecutors had no physical evidence linking Lake to the phone.
Huntley said Lake told Illinois State Police Sgt. Nathan Macklin that the phone belonged to him. She said the state had proven that Lake had downloaded the videos to his phone in three different places.
But Schuck said there was no recording of that conversation pre -
sented as evidence.
Huntley countered that social media and email accounts had Lake’s initials and birth year as identifiers. She said a lack of DNA evidence was irrelevant to the case because the state did not have to prove he viewed the videos.
Lake had been in and out of custody in the Ogle County Jail since his arrest and been represented by several different attorneys.
In March 2022, he was determined to be unfit and ordered to undergo treatment. He was declared fit in August 2022 after Redington reviewed a court-ordered evaluation. Lake then failed to appear for a court hearing in October 2022 and was arrested in July 2023. He was released on a cash bond but again failed to appear for a hearing. He was remanded to the Ogle County Jail in December 2023, where he was held until the trial began.
According to court records, he declined a plea agreement offered by the state on Aug. 14 on four counts, including one for dissemination of child pornography, a Class X felony.
The seven-man, five-woman jury reached the verdict after deliberating 2½ hours, finding Lake guilty on all three counts. Each of the counts was punishable by three to seven years in the Illinois Department of Corrections with two years mandatory supervised release and a fine of up to $100,000.
released on a notice to appear with a future court date.
Oct. 2
Jose W. Hernandez-Sanchez, 36, of Rockford, was arrested for operating a vehicle without a valid driver’s license after a traffic stop on Interstate 39 mile marker 105 northbound around 12:34 a.m. Hernandez-Sanchez also was cited for operating an uninsured motor vehicle with no rear registration light. Hernandez-Sanchez was released on a notice to appear with a future court date.
Michael Essex, 29, of Franklin Grove, was cited for driving while under the influence of alcohol, illegal transportation of alcohol, improper lane usage, failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and failure to wear a seatbelt after deputies and the Dixon Rural Fire Department responded to a single-vehicle crash in the 7000 block of South
Ridge Road around 2:09 p.m. An investigation showed Essex was traveling south when he drove off the roadway and through the east ditch before crashing into a creek embankment. He was taken to KSB Hospital for injuries. Essex was released on a notice to appear.
Justin Chaney, 50, of DeKalb, was arrested for driving while under the influence of alcohol after deputies responded to the 19000 block of East South Malta Road around 4:24 p.m. in reference to a welfare check on a vehicle parked in the roadway with a male that was very lethargic. Chaney also was cited for unlawful parking and operating an uninsured vehicle. Upon arrival, deputies found EMS from the Rochelle Fire Department and the Ogle-Lee Fire

DIXON – KSB Hospital is making progress toward finalizing its merger with OSF HealthCare after the Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board gave its approval of the change in ownership, according to a joint news release issued Sept. 26 by KSB and OSF.
The review board is responsible for approving applications for construction or expansion of health care facilities in Illinois.
“We are thrilled to receive the state’s approval, solidifying our partnership with OSF HealthCare. This marks a significant milestone in our journey to enhance the quality of care that our community has come to expect,” KSB Hospital President and CEO David Schreiner said.
As the transition continues to move forward, KSB Hospital and OSF HealthCare will collaborate to ensure a seamless integration and focus on maintaining the high standards of care that KSB has delivered, according to the release. The community can expect to see enhanced services and continued investments in local health care, reflecting both organizations’ dedication to meeting the needs of the people
they serve, according to the release.
“Our shared commitment to providing compassionate, high-quality care will guide us as we work together to serve the Sauk Valley community,” OSF HealthCare Regional CEO August Querciagrossa said.
KSB Hospital, which employs 920 people, is an independent, nonprofit organization. The hospital is an 80-bed facility that offers traditional inpatient and outpatient services in downtown Dixon. KSB also operates an integrated medical group with 70 practitioners providing medical services in primary and select specialty areas at six locations in Lee and southern Ogle counties.
In February, KSB’s board of directors announced that it was formally exploring potential partnerships due to escalating operating and staffing costs, as well as changes to health care financing and how patients use health care.
According to a resolution presented to the Dixon City Council on Aug. 5, KSB’s board analyzed the feasibility of continuing to operate the hospital independently and found that it would likely lead to its closure.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the hospital experienced an increase in
expenses including wages, pharmaceuticals, utilities, facility costs and medical supplies. Those increased expenses were not covered by increased reimbursement rates because KSB, like other rural hospitals, serves a large portion of patients on Medicare and Medicaid, which reimburse at a lower rate than commercial insurance, according to the resolution.
As a result, KSB operated with negative margins in 2022 and 2023. Those operating margin challenges led to the erosion of the balance sheet and in January 2024, the hospital’s cash on hand dropped to five days, which made it impossible to borrow funds and reinvest in the organization, according to the resolution.
On May 10, KSB announced that it had signed a term sheet with OSF HealthCare marking their official partnership and anticipating a full merger.
OSF HealthCare, headquartered in Peoria, has 16 hospitals with 2,131 licensed beds throughout Illinois and Michigan. OSF has about 24,000 employees, known as “mission partners,” across more than 150 locations. It operates OSF OnCall, a digital health operating unit; OSF Home Care Services, an extensive network of home health and hospice services; OSF
HealthCare Foundation; and OSF Ventures, which provides investment capital for promising health care innovation startups.
The agreement includes $40 million in funding for facility renovations, to improve access to care locally and to create seamless referrals to subspecialties. With the affiliation, KSB expects the continued employment of its staff, significant investments in building and technology and enhanced access to specialty resources in the local community.
“The great thing is that enhancement really comes from dollars. We have an incredible network of staff right here at KSB,” Dixon City Manager Danny Langloss said at the City Council meeting in August.
Schreiner that day also highlighted the hospital’s continued local repre
sentation through a community advisory council and foundation board. He hopes that KSB’s board of directors will consider continuing to be involved by serving on these boards.
The purpose of the foundation board will be to complete a periodic review of the contract between both organizations to ensure that all of the conditions are being met, Schreiner said.
Born: August 23, 1942
Died: September 29, 2024
Linda L. Rasmussen, 82, of Altoona, formerly of Sheboygan, WI, passed away on Sunday, September 29, 2024.
Linda Rasmussen-in her own words:
I was born in Oregon, Illinois on August 23, 1942 to John and Nell Thomas – my father a farmer, my mother a teacher. My parents were wonderful people who passed on to me a good work ethic, love of reading, and a tremendous sense of humor which has both delighted and annoyed my family, friends, and acquaintances throughout my life. My glass has always been half full, never half-empty. Laughter came very easily to me. I had one
sister, Ann, who along with my daughter, were my two best friends. I had a superb childhood with Ann, playing in the woods and orchard, making tree houses, dressing up our cats, and playing paper dolls. As we grew older, Ann played the piano and I sang at various functions of our parents. Needless to say, there was a mass exodus to the door when we sat down to perform and the membership of those groups rapidly dwindled. I married John Rasmussen (son of a farmer) on October 20 or 21 of 1962. We met in high school and our first date was a homecoming dance. We moved to Milwaukee and lived in Wisconsin the rest of my life. From the Bears to the Packers was an easy move! During the summer John and I loved working in our huge vegetable garden and flower beds. During the cold Wisconsin winters we would sit in the living room in front of the fireplace with our tea and popcorn. I would read and think up nefarious tricks to play on friends and my grandchildren and John would watch T.V.
I graduated from Lakeland College in 1976 and began working at Vollrath Company that December. I worked in Marketing and enjoyed my job and the many people that I met. I worked there for 23 years, retiring in 1999 to a joyous life. I did puppet ministry at St. Peter Lutheran Church and also did other various and Sunday things there (even sneaking into the choir and bellowing out a few songs now and then). Being a St. Peter Nun – Sister Mary Amnesia was a great experience. Also the Red Hat Ladies Society added to the fun and enjoyment of my life. I loved my church and the people in it. I derived great comfort and enjoyment from it. My many friends have also given me great happiness and satisfaction, along with lots of laughter, pranks, and fun. John and I were fortunate to have two wonderful children – Melyssa and Jack. Melyssa married the world’s greatest son-in-law (Bob) and Jack the world’s best daughter-inlaw (Jillian). I have four grandsons, Robert (Christina), Ryan (Natalie), Eric (Abi); and
John (Robyn) from Melyssa; and twins – Ivan and Gabrielle, and a third – little Pink from Jack and one great-granddaughter Maggie. SUCH BLESSINGS. My family is the jewels and wealth of my life – they all are the spice, the stars, and the sun.
They give me laughter, love, delight and everything else that is good in life. I have been truly loved and blessed through them. I thank them for everything they have given me and done for me.
My life has been good – sometimes better than others, sometimes worse. All in all, it has been wonderful. I have few regrets. I thank each and every one of you for what you gave to me. I look forward to seeing Big John, Mom, Dad, Aunt Mary and many friends, when I am with the Lord.
We will be having a Celebration of Life later this fall and will put information about this on her Facebook page and funeral website www. zimmerfuneralhome.com.

OREGON – Early in the second quarter, Oregon’s football season was in serious jeopardy. Playing without its best player, Josh Crandall, because a knee injury, and giving up two long scoring drives to Stillman Valley, the Hawks needed some kind of a spark to overcome a seven-point deficit.
They got it in the form of a 67-yard touchdown run by Hunter Bartel on the next play from scrimmage.
Logan Weems ran in the 2-point conversion, and Oregon took a onepoint lead. Bartel’s score was one of many big plays the Hawks had the rest of the way in a 21-13 Big Northern Conference win.
“We had a hard time stopping them, but we were more opportunistic. Hunter’s play was an example of that. He’s a game breaker,” said Oregon coach Broc Kundert, who looked like he was jumping into a mosh pit as he joined the post-game huddle. “Not having Josh or Jack [Washburn] might take the cake when it comes down to the best win we’ve had since I’ve been here.”
Coming in at 2-3, Oregon desperately needed to win this game, but initially had no answer for Stillman’s no-huddle offense. It wasn’t until Seth Rote made a stop on Jaxon Barrett for no gain, forcing a fumble that Ethan Reed recovered, that the high-powered Cardinals machine finally was stopped.
Oregon failed to score on a short field, but the turnover gave the Hawks a boost of confidence. On Stillman’s next possession, it was Lucas Cole stopping top rusher Brock Needs (two touchdown runs) for a loss. That combined with a penalty stopped another Cardinal scoring threat before halftime.
“Even though we were up 14-13 at half, it didn’t feel like we were winning,” Kundert said.
Considering Stillman had 230 yards on 39 carries compared with 183 on 19 for Oregon at halftime, that statement had validity. For the game, Stillman had 24 first downs to only eight for Oregon.
“Coach [Colby] Dace made some adjustments on defense that made a
big difference for us in the second half,” Kundert said.
Besides Bartel’s long score, it was Cooper Johnson breaking free for a 45 yard touchdown on fourth down for an early 6-0 Hawks lead. Later in the fourth quarter, he had an interception to stop a potential game-tying drive by Stillman.
“Cooper does everything right. It really helps having him back from an injury,” Kundert said.
In the second half, Stillman continued to move the ball, but were hampered by penalties. Their passing game was also anemic, failing to make a single completion.
“We stopped ourselves on penalties and miscues,” SV coach Mike Lalor said. “Credit to Oregon. They overcame adversity and hung in there.”
The Oregon defense, led by Briggs Sellers, Kyson Morris and Lucas Cole (all with double-digit tackles) began to make stops when they needed to.
“I knew where to be on some of those plays because of the way our coaches repped us in practice,” said Morris, who had eight unassisted stops.
After stopping Stillman on downs for the second time in the third quarter, Oregon began what would be the game-clinching drive.
Taking over at its own 35-yard line, it was Weems breaking free for 20 yards. The key play of the drive, though, was a shoestring catch by Keaton Salsbury on a fourth-and-8. Salsbury caught Benny Olade’s throw for 12 yards
“Coming over from soccer, Keaton’s been a godsend,” Kundert said.
Three straight runs by Weems set up a fourth-and-1. Disaster loomed, however, with the play clock running out and Olade dropping the ball.
Weems alertly picked it up before the Stillman could pounce on it and ran for a first down. Three plays later, it was Bartel bouncing in for a 1-yard touchdown.
“Stillman Valley really brings out the best in us,” Weems said. “We had a great game with them last year. When I saw the ball on the ground, I just tried to make a play.”
Gavin Morrow kicked the extra point and the Cardinals needed eight points to tie the game and only had 4:46 left to do it. They had two cracks at it, but a 10-yard tackle for loss by Avery Lewis and interceptions by Johnson and Ethan Mowry stymied those opportunities.
“We didn’t give up and kept pounding the rock,” Rote said.
In a battle between the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in 8-man football, it was Polo over Milledgeville in a great atmosphere at Floyd Daub Field.
Before getting into game specifics, let’s go back several years when both schools were considering a co-op in football. At the time, it made sense, especially the close proximity to each other.
With declining enrollments, schools all over Illinois were co-oping for football to keep programs afloat. So, why not Milledgeville and Polo?
Without getting into all the details, there was a resistance to it and it never came to fruition. This past Friday was proof positive that the right decision was made.
We also have to give an assist to the formation of 8-man football. That has made it much easier for stand-alone programs like Milledgeville and Polo to thrive.
Had both remained in the brutally tough NUIC, it would be a different story. Let’s say Milledgeville and Polo would have co-oped to stay competitive in the NUIC and play 11-man, the community interest would not have the same intensity as it did Friday at Milledgeville.
The story of the game was the performance of Brock Soltow, I mean Gus Mumford. Bearing likeness to the for-
mer 8-man MVP, Mumford accounted for 290 of the 314 total yards Polo had in the 30-14 win.
And, how about the Marco defense holding Milledgeville to 50 points under its season average of 65? In the high-scoring theater of 8-man, Polo has only allowed 28 points all year, a mark that some teams put up in one quarter.
One final thought. After tearing up 8-man from the get-go, Polo has managed to keep its prominence afloat for each of the past six seasons. Credit to head coaches Jeff Bumstead, Ted Alston and all the assistants for maintaining a proud heritage.
Earlier in the season, I questioned whether Oregon had the mental fortitude to be truly competitive. With Stillman Valley running all over the Hawks in the first half, I still had my doubts.
But, they didn’t quit. As SV coach Mike Lalor aptly put afterwards, Oregon “hung in here.” Yes, Oregon caught more breaks than the Cardinals did in the 21-13 victory.
However, they capitalized on the breaks and seemed to get stronger as
the game went on. That’s difficult to do with SV’s no-huddle offense allowing hardly any time between plays.
With the way Oregon stood up in the face of adversity, it was the most gratifying Hawk win for me to witness in recent memory.
Credit also to my Rochelle Hubs for their somewhat stunning demolition of highly ranked Morris. If Rochelle drops down from 5A to 4A, they have to be considered one of the favorites to win state.
When talking to coach Broc Kundert after he first came to Oregon, he said one of the drawing cards for him was that Oregon had a history of good track & field and wrestling and those sports lend themselves to good football players.
That is so true and quite evident at Rochelle where several of their best football players are elite wrestlers. Rochelle has never been overly talented, but it would be hard to find a team more physical than them.
Lena-Winslow surprised people with a running clock over Pec-Durand. Make no mistake. Le-Win is still the kingpin of the best small conference school in the state.
Last year in the state finals, they did get their comeuppance at the hands of Camp Point Central. An even bigger
challenger looms downstate with Belleville Althoff.
The private school of 288 with D-I talent has been destroying schools several times larger than them. Althoff is an independent and peppers its schedule tougher than what is seen in the NUIC.
Additionally, the area 1A playoff picture has gotten stronger with privates Sterling Newman and Rockford Lutheran on board. That is one of the effects of 30 schools playing 8-man. It has driven larger schools to 1A, subsequently toughing things up.
At halftime of the Forreston football game, the inaugural Hall of Fame class was announced. Reviewing the selections, this had to be a complicated affair for the committee.
Rather than focusing on a sports HOF, Forreston’s encompasses all aspects at the school. Categories included dedication, extra-curriculars, service and teamwork.
Credit to Forreston for attempting to honor all graduates. For example, the criteria for service is contribution to community, state or country.
Speaking of Forreston, congratulations to junior Kaden Brown for qualifying for the 1A state golf tourney, by shooting a 78 at the sectional.

PREP FOOTBALL: POLO 30, MILLEDGEVILLE 14
By TY REYNOLDS Shaw Local News Network correspondent
MILLEDGEVILLE – In a bruising Battle for the Blacktop, Polo picked up the momentum early in the second half and rode it to a 30-14 victory over Milledgeville on Friday night at Floyd Daub Field.
The Marcos scored two touchdowns within three minutes of each other to take a 24-8 lead midway through the third quarter of the Illinois 8-Man Football Association North game, then held the Missiles to two first downs over the final two periods to reclaim the Battle for the Blacktop Trophy.
“We wanted to come out and play hard, try to get something going. It was 8-8 at halftime, a new game, the first half didn’t matter,” senior Noah Dewey said. “We just played Polo defense. We played hard, filled the gaps, flowed to the ball.”
“This win means a lot for us,” senior Gus Mumford said. “We haven’t beaten them in the regular season for three years – we beat them here last year in the playoffs – but we really wanted the trophy back, and we’ve got it now, so we’re pretty proud.”
Mumford did a little bit of everything for Polo (6-0, 6-0 I8FA North) from his quarterback spot, rushing 30 times for 141 yards and two touchdowns, and completing 5 of 8 passes for 141 yards and two more scores.
His 63-yard touchdown run capped a 99-yard scoring drive in the first half, then his 67-yard TD pass to Billy Lowry gave the Marcos the lead for good a little more than two minutes into the second half.
“We went to a new formation, a lot of quarterback runs, and I think that’s what helped us the most. We played with a lot of energy,” Mumford said. “We have a huge line this year, and I love it. A lot of good guys who are strong and move quick, and they played well tonight.”
Both teams scored on 90-plus-yard

drives in the first half. Polo’s first drive started at its own 12-yard line following a Milledgeville three-and-out to open the game, and ended up in a thirdand-21 situation just outside its own goal line after a penalty and two negative plays.
But after Mumford barely escaped a safety on second down, he connected with Dewey on a 28-yard pass for a first down. Three plays later, he broke through the Milledgeville line and outran the defense for a 63-yard touchdown and an 8-0 lead with 7:13 left in the first quarter.
After both defenses got stops on downs, the Missiles (5-1, 5-1) answered with a 93-yard scoring march, taking nearly 5½ minutes off the clock and converting on an Evan Schenck 4-yard run on fourth-and-goal.
The Marcos then lost a fumble on the first play of the second half, which Milledgeville recovered – then the Missiles gave it back on the very next play on an interception by Mumford.
“We lost momentum with that turnover, then we got it right back the next play,” Dewey said. “That’s probably what helped us keep going, the momentum from the interception there.”
“Coming out of halftime is always big, and we caused a turnover and got the ball right away – but then we gave it right back, and you can’t do that against good teams,” Milledgeville coach Jason
Also headed downstate from the 2A boys sectional is senior Davis Baker of Byron.

three-and-out, and the punt was shanked; Mumford had runs of 11 and 21 yards on consecutive plays to cover the 32 yards and give Polo a 24-8 lead with 7:15 left in the third.
The Missiles cut the deficit to 24-14 with a 64-yard touchdown on a halfback pass from Micah Toms-Smith to Konner Johnson with 9:44 left in the fourth quarter, but the Marcos sealed it eight minutes later. After recovering a fumble on a third-down sack, Polo finished a four-minute drive with a Mumford-to-Dewey TD pass from 11 yards out on fourth-and-goal to make it 30-14 with 1:19 to play.
Toms-Smith led the Missiles in rushing (46 yards) and passing (64 yards), while freshman quarterback Kyson Francis completed three passes for 63 yards.
Wroble said. “I think the bottom line is we hurt ourselves a lot with untimely penalties and turnovers and missed assignments on defense. They’re a good team, and we knew it, and you can’t make mistakes against good teams.”
Polo cashed in the interception with Mumford’s scoring strike to Lowry, then the Marcos’ defense then forced a
“I thought maybe we could’ve gotten momentum with a safety there early on – it was close – and then they respond with a 99-yard drive, and that’s tough. Hats off to them for that drive there, and it sort of set the tone,” Wroble said. “I felt they had the momentum most of the game; we had a couple of opportunities to get back in it and we just didn’t make enough plays.”
Rockford 1A Sectional: The Fulton boys golf team advanced to state as a team for the second year in a row after shooting a 315 at the Class 1A Rockford Lutheran Sectional on Monday, finishing behind only last year’s state runner-up Riverdale (299) and Rockford Lutheran (312), which placed fourth at state last year.
