No bond reduction in fleeing to elude case By Vinde Wells Editor
An Ogle County judge denied a motion Tuesday to reduce the bond for the Peoria man who led Ogle County Sheriff ’s Police on a high speed chase two weeks ago. Judge Robert Hanson ruled that the bond for
Daniel H. Swisher, 40, will remain at $250,000. Swisher’s attorney Paul Whitcombe, Dixon, had asked for the bond to be reduced to $100,000. “I know very little about Mr. Swisher,” Hanson said. “And now I’m finding out today that he has another fleeing to elude charge in Peoria County.”
Hanson asked the Ogle County Probation Department to do a background check on Swisher and bring back the needed information in time for a preliminary hearing on Wednesday, May 27. Swisher was charged May 13 with four counts of aggravated fleeing to elude, all Class 4 felonies;
two counts of resisting a peace officer, both Class 4 felonies; and possession of cannabis, a misdemeanor. Whitcombe said Swisher has no previous felony convictions and no history of violent crimes. Swisher testified at Monday’s hearing that he has been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and has suffered
from manic depressive episodes since 1998. He said he has been prescribed medication for the condition, but was not taking it when he fled from Ogle County deputies May 6. Swisher told the court that he was hospitalized in 1998 after an episode when he took a car from a
dealership believing it to be his property. Subsequently, he said he quit taking the medication he was prescribed and had no more episodes until 2013. Since 2013, he said, he has been hospitalized nine times. Swisher agreed to bond Turn to A9
Bison Boom Herd is already helping prairie at the Grasslands By Earleen Hinton General Manager Yes, yes, all the buzz may be about the baby bison boom at Nachusa Grasslands, but the real excitement is what the grown ups are already doing to help restore the prairie. “It’s been super exciting ever since the bison arrived and we are already starting to see success from bison grazing,” said restoration ecologist Cody Considine. “It looks like the bison are eating the grasses around the spring flowers and that’s pretty cool.” While the recent inclusion of the big prairie mammals may be what’s driving new people to the Nature Conservancy’s 3,500-acre Grasslands, located east of Dixon and south of Oregon,

it is the delight in the details that inspires Considine and other Grasslands volunteers who have spent years and hundreds of hours pulling invasive plants, collecting prairie plants seeds, burning, and replanting. “Already we can see where the prairie plants are doing better based on where and what the bison are eating, but from a science research point of view, this study will take several years. Right now,
it is very evident they are avoiding the forbs (flowers) and eating the grass,” he said. Bison were reintroduced to the Grasslands in October 2014 when Considine and Bill Kleiman, preserve manager, and Grassland volunteers, made three trips totaling nearly 3,500 miles to transport cows and bulls from established herds in Iowa and South Dakota to the Grasslands.
The Grasslands’ herd is the first to live at a TNC preserve east of the Mississippi and also the first conservation herd in Illinois—with a primary purpose of helping the prairie thrive. And so far, the bison seem be fitting well into their new home. The first calf was born in early April, followed by 10 soon after. “As of last Saturday, we now have 11 new calves,” said Considine. “We now
have 41 in the herd.” The bison, and their calves, have also meant an increase in visitors driving by the bison enclosure, to catch a glimpse of the new additions. The Grasslands kiosk, located on Lowden Road, offers maps of the Grasslands including where the bison are located. “People are excited about the bison. Now people can come here and learn more
Poetry helped POW in Hanoi Borling speaks at Armed Forces Day Fundraiser By Vinde Wells Editor Writing poems in his head was part of what kept John Borling going during the six and one-half years he was a prisoner of war in the infamous “Hanoi Hilton.” Borling, a retired Major General in the U.S. Air Force, spoke about his experience and the book he has written about it on May 16 at an Armed Forces Day celebration held for veterans at Barnacopia. The event was also a fundraiser for a bronze sculpture that will be placed at the Veterans Memorial on the Ogle County Courthouse Square. “The essence of the human condition is the ability to create,” Borling told the audience of 175 veterans and their guests.
He said the sculpture, which depicts a young soldier kneeling before the grave of a comrade, has the ability to inspire. A fighter pilot during the Vietnam War, Borling was shot down by ground fire north of Hanoi. Seriously injured and barely able to walk, he tried to commandeer a truck. Unfortunately it was occupied by North Vietnamese soldiers, and he was taken prisoner. Borling’s book “Taps on the Walls” is a compilation of the poems he wrote as a POW, mostly spent in solitary confinement. “It will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you think,” he said. U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona), also a POW at the Hanoi Hilton, wrote the forward to the book. Portions of the book describe Borling’s experiences and those of his fellow prisoners while they were held captive by the North Vietnamese military.

about what we do and how they can contribute. They may or may not be able to see the herd, depending on where they are at. This isn’t a zoo. These are wild animals,” said Considine. Sometimes the herd can be seen grazing on the west side of Lowden Road or from the north side of Stone Barn Road or south from Flagg Road. Turn to B3

He also devoted a section to the mental anguish his wife Myrna suffered for the three years she didn’t know if he had been killed or captured and in the subsequent years until his release on Feb. 12, 1973. Borling related that he and other prisoners developed a code of communicating with each other through tapping on the wall.

Along with other messages, he tapped his poems to the other prisoners. Tapping was not without risk. If prisoners were caught communicating they were severely punished. “They would hurt you and they would hurt you bad,” Borling said. Undaunted, he went so far as to teach his fellow prisoners French through

Tax deadline is extended for EF4 tornado victims County board gives victims a new deadline By Vinde Wells Editor Victims of the April 9 tornado will have a few extra months to pay their property tax bills. The Ogle County Board approved a measure Tuesday that extends the deadline for both installments to Oct. 16. “Basically this will allow anyone with property Ogle County Board Chairman Kim Gouker and Oregon City Commissioner Jim Barnes damaged by the tornado chat as they view the new bronze sculpture for the Ogle County Veterans Memorial to pay their taxes in on the north lawn of the Ogle County Courthouse lawn.

“I can’t tell you how honored I am to be able to do the piece to honor the veterans of Ogle County,� Adams said. “It’s an honor and a pleasure to be able to work with the American Legion and the VFW.� A live auction held during the event brought in $3,180 for the fundraiser. Oregon VFW Commander Lee Ossman said more than $55,000 has been raised so far toward the goal of $80,000 for the sculpture and other improvements to the Veterans Memorial. He said preparation work at the memorial will begin
However, shortly after the tornado, Ogle County Supervisor of Assessments Jim Harrison announced he had frozen the assessed values of improvements (structures) on properties destroyed by the tornado as of April 9. That means those values will be reduced by 73 percent on the 2016 tax bills. Zoning Administrator Mike Reibel has waived permit fees for anyone rebuilding a structure destroyed by the tornado, and expedited the process for issuing the permits. According to the measure approved by the board, properties eligible for the deadline extension must be located in Ogle County and have been determined by the Ogle County Emergency Management Agency (OCEMA) to have damage from the April 9 tornado. The damage assessment must be confirmed by the township assessor. Property owners who meet the criteria should apply for a waiver of penalty for late payment of property taxes with the Ogle County Treasurer and Collector John Coffman. Forms are available at his
office on the first floor of the Ogle County Courthouse. OCEMA Director Tom Richter said 91 properties were determined to have damage, and he has given a list of those to Coffman. Property taxes, even on damaged properties, will be subject to late fees if paid after the Oct. 16 extended deadline. The EF4 tornado touched down west of Franklin Grove in Lee County around 6:30 p.m. April 9 and traveled in a northeasterly direction, demolishing homes in two subdivision west of Rochelle. It destroyed houses, farm buildings, and everything else in its path, including the Grubsteakers Restaurant at the intersection of Ill. 64 and 251. From there it continued, still on the ground and at times half-mile wide, to Fairdale, a small village just over the Ogle-DeKalb county line. Two Fairdale residents were killed and every structure in the town was damaged. The tornado then moved into Boone and McHenry Counties continuing its path of destruction.

The Oregon Republican Reporter is published weekly by Ogle County Newspapers, a division of the B.F. Shaw Printing Co., Shaw Media. The Oregon Republican Reporter was founded in 1851 as the Ogle County Reporter. In 1889, the Ogle County Republican, a competing newspaper, was started. In 1890, the Republican was sold to Ziba Landers. Upon his death in 1939, the newspaper was assumed by his son, Ernest D. In March 1951, Paul F. Behan, owner of the Reporter, and E.D. Landers and his son E.G. (Tim) Landers united the newspapers into the Republican Reporter. Ernest D. Landers died in 1966, and E.G. and Behan became partners. Eventually, E.G. Landers assumed sole ownership, and in 1985 he sold the newspaper to B.F. Shaw Printing, Dixon. Ogle County Newspapers also prints the Mt. Morris Times, Forreston Journal, and Polo’s Tri-County Press.

Home remedies used before doctors in Ray’s lifetime Editor’s note: Otto Dick, Oregon, has researched the people, places, and events important in Oregon’s history for the Ogle County Historical Society. The following is part of a series based on the daily diary kept by Hugh M. Ray from Jan. 1, 1884 to Nov. 26, 1919. Ray lived on a farm on Brick Road west of Payne’s Point and later moved to a new house he built in Oregon. By Otto Dick Medical care during Hugh Ray’s lifetime consisted of using age-old home remedies first, and then they would call for the doctor. A doctor in that age depended upon his horse and trap for country calls and his bicycle for visits closer to his office or home. Many of the smaller Ogle County towns had their own doctor, and the larger towns three or four. Physicians and surgeons listed in the 1905 Oregon phone directory were Drs. Chappelle, Davis, Fahrney, Hall, Mix, and McKenney. Three of these listed their offices as upstairs on Washington Street. Two listed their offices in their residences. You could reach Dr. Davis at Telephone 482. Ray mentioned in his diary Dr. Roe from Chana, and Dr.

There are those who lost their lives in battle, those who bear the memories and those who continue to defend our nation today. To all of these brave men and women go our admiration and gratitude. We salute them for their sacrifice and service, as their example inspires future generations of Americans to appreciate and protect our country and all that it signifies.

Only yard waste may be burned By Reita Nicholson Administrative Assistant Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department With spring in full swing, the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department (OCSWMD) has some helpful reminders for recycling and managing waste from your clean-up projects. The OCSWMD funds and maintains six recycling stations around the county. They are located in Byron, Forreston, Monroe Center, Polo, Oregon, and Rochelle. Bins are also located in Hillcrest and at the Orchard Hills Landfill, Davis Junction. These are co-mingled bins which means you can place aluminum and steel cans, glass, plastic, paperboard, cardboard, office paper, and newspaper into the bins. These bins are for residents who do not have curbside recycling and the OCSWMD asks that all boxes and plastic jugs be flattened. These bins are intended for residential use, for businesses wanting to recycle, contact the OCSWMD. Do not place items into the bins which are not accepted. The OCSWMD also runs a monthly electronic take back program. Electronics will be accepted for recycling the last Friday of each month from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. at 909 Pines Rd., Oregon at the County Annex Building garage. Go to www.oglecounty.org for a full list of acceptable items. Do not bring appliances, dehumidifiers, coffee makers, lamps, vacuums, air conditioners, and power tools to the electronic recycling drop-off. The next scheduled electronic drop off is May 29. Spring is also a time when the OCSWMD receives many complaints about open burning of waste. The only waste which can be burned is landscape waste which is generated on that property. Landscape waste which is generated on a different property cannot be transported and burned for disposal. Garbage, construction and demolition debris, and other waste cannot be burned and needs to be taken to a sanitary landfill for disposal. If you are going to be burning your landscape waste, please be sure to monitor the fire at all times, burn on days when smoke will not adversely affect your neighbors, burn dry landscape waste and keep the fire hot to reduce smoke. Call the OCSWMD at 815-732-4020 with questions regarding recycling and waste disposal options here in Ogle County.

Teen accused of vandalizing park district’s splash park Police have identified the teenage boy who vandalized the Oregon Park District’s Splash Canyon Spray Park May 17. “We identified a 13-yearold juvenile from Oregon from the video,” said Oregon Police Chief Darin DeHaan Tuesday. He said the teen was released to his parents. DeHaan said he is requesting that the Ogle County State’s Attorney issue a petition for juvenile delinquency and that the teen is required to make restitution. Park district executive director Erin Folk said the
park district staff received reports of the vandalism around 3 p.m. Sunday. “Two individuals were caught on Oregon Park District security cameras using blunt objects to damage two of the water element activators and throwing rocks,” she said. As a result the two water elements were no longer operational and a significant amount of debris was left behind. Folk said the staff cleaned up the debris and fixed the two activators. “Splash Canyon is open and fully operational for use
by patrons,” she said. Splash Canyon was opened in 2012 for patrons to have access to free water play and summer time fun. Folk asked that all users be responsible and adopt the rules as posted at Splash Canyon. Anyone who sees someone abusing the park or acting inappropriately is asked to call Nash Recreation Center at 815-732-3101. If callers are unable to reach us during normal business hours, call the Oregon Police Department at the non-emergency number at 815-732-2162.

Swisher scheduled to appear in court again on May 27 From A1 conditions that he would live with his parents in Peoria, stay on his medications and see his doctor regularly, and not drive a vehicle. Swisher’s mother Laurenda Swisher, who said she is a retired psychiatric nurse, said she would see to it that her son adhered to the bond conditions and foresaw no problems. Hanson, however, wasn’t so sure. He said he has no assurances that Swisher will live up to the bond conditions. “I’m particularly concerned about the safety of the public,” Hanson said. He said Swisher’s actions on May 6 endangered the
public, police officers, and police property. Swisher, a civil engineer who works for the Illinois Department of Transportation, had been hospitalized since the day of the chase until Tuesday afternoon. He is now being held in the Ogle County Jail. Swisher testified that he could not raise the $25,000 necessary to bond out jail because his assets are tied up due to divorce proceedings. The May 6 incident began when deputies responded to a welfare check call at the overlook at Castle Rock State Park, located two miles south of Oregon on Ill. 2. According to a press release issued by Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle, deputies found
Swisher in a parked car at about 2:10 p.m. Approximately 10 minutes later, deputies tried to approach Swisher, who then drove from the park in a 2015 Porsche, registered to him, heading north on Ill. 2 toward Oregon. Swisher was driving at a high rate of speed and swerving toward oncoming traffic, police reported. Deputies pursued him into town with emergency lights flashing. Swisher turned right on to Ill. 64 and headed east on Ill. 64. Police said Swisher’s speed reached at high as 104 mph at one point. Near Kings, approximately 14 miles east of Oregon, Swisher drove through a field to avoid tire-deflation
devices that had been placed by police. He then drove back west on Ill. 64, again headed toward Oregon. Swisher ran over a tiredeflation device near the intersection of Ill. 64 and Daysville Road, flattening a tire. He continued to drive through yards and a parking area before continuing west on the highway. After spotting deputies in his path, Swisher tried to turn around on the Rock River bridge in Oregon, but was stopped by police vehicles which pinned him up against the cement wall of the eastbound lane of Ill. 64. VanVickle said Swisher’s vehicle hit three marked squad cars during the chase,
but no one was injured. Two vehicles were drivable but one had to be towed. Deputies continued the pursuit because Swisher was driving erratically and attempting to hit oncoming traffic, the sheriff said. The chase ended just a few minutes before Oregon school buses would have been on the roads taking students home. However, buses taking students home from the Chana Education Center were already on the road when the pursuit was in progress. The Illinois State Police, Oregon Police Department, and Hillcrest Police Department assisted Ogle County deputies. Earlier that day, Swisher
had been involved in a chase with Jo Daviess County Sheriff’s deputies. Jo Daviess County Sheriff’s Police said they received a call for a motorist assist on U.S. 20 at Tippett Road near the entrance to the Galena Territory. When an officer pulled up behind Swisher’s Porsche at 8:39 a.m., he took off at a high rate of speed, and the officer was unable to catch up with him. Elizabeth Police Chief Scott Toot had encountered Swisher the previous day when a call came in from OnStar that the Porsche had mechanical problems. Swisher did not appear to be well, Toot said, and but did not want an ambulance called.

Public Voice Food drive was successful Dear Editor, We did it again! Letter carriers at the Oregon Post Office along with postal employees and local volunteers teamed up to stamp out hunger in the community. I want to thank everyone who helped make this year’s Food Drive a success. It could not have been done without you. Across the country, the Food Drive – held in cooperation with the Postal Service – resulted in millions of pounds of nonperishable food collected and distributed to deserving charities nationwide. Closer to home, the Oregon carriers collected 500 pounds of food from generous donations left at mailboxes, which were then delivered to local community
food pantries. Mt. Morris carriers collected over 500 pounds of food from generous donations left at mailboxes, which were then delivered to local community food pantries. For more than 20 years our local community has come together for this important event to help make it successful. This clearly shows the generosity of everyone involved with the project – people who make a difference in other people’s lives. Paula Tegeler Oregon Postmaster Marianne Miller Mt. Morris Postmaster

the Oregon Chamber of Commerce. I have a business and I believe in the community. I also believe what the chamber does for the community and I’m happy to be a member of the chamber. I hope the new mayor does form an economic developmental council and the council does something. Other economic developmental councils have been formed and nothing has been done. Sincerely, J. Stephen Moehle Vernon Hills
and publicized the event and picked up the food. Thank you to the volunteers who transported the food to the pantry, sorted and cleaned the cans and stocked shelves.

A “one-stop shopping event” held at the Chana Auction Barn east of Oregon May 16 offered clothing, household items, food, water, baby supplies, cleaning supplies, pet supplies, and even free haircuts. “We’ve got almost everything,” said auction barn owner Michelle Boewe, as she gestured to the tables piled high with donated items. “We’ve got furniture, bedding, and one building is completely clothes.” She said all the items were free to tornado victims. More than 30 homes were destroyed in Ogle County by the EF4 tornado that cut
a northeasterly swath from west of Franklin Grove in Lee County into Boone County. Hardest hit was the village of Fairdale where two women lost their lives and every building was destroyed or damaged. The community of about 150 residents is situated on Ill. 72 just inside DeKalb County. Fairdale resident David Richardson was getting a haircut from Samantha Emmett, owner of New Beginnings Salon & Spa in Kirkland. Richardson said his aunt Jacqueline Klosa, 69, was one of those who was killed when the tornado flattened her home on the south side of Ill. 72 shortly after 7 p.m. He said when he heard that the tornado had crossed Interstate 39 about six miles away, he ran to his aunt’s house to warn her.
She and other family members took shelter in a bathroom, he said, and he braced himself in the kitchen. “I thought I was going to die. I thought ‘it will only hurt for a minute,’” he said. “It blew me right out in the highway. It sucked my glasses off my face.” Richardson, who was badly bruised and scraped, is renting a house in Kirkland. Fairdale residents Leo and Jessica Cardot were shopping for their two toddlers and new baby expected in a few weeks. “We were looking for a double stroller and we found it,” Leo said with a grin. “I’m tickled.” The Cardots’ house was one of those destroyed by the tornado. Leo said he was grateful for the items offered at no cost to tornado victims. “This is really nice. It’s really amazing,” he said.

Telecommunicators recognized for tornado response By Chris Johnson Reporter Six important Ogle County residents were on duty when an EF4 tornado struck Ogle County April 9. For staying calm throughout the disaster and helping the public, the Ogle County E91-1Board presented telecommunicators with certificates of recognition on May 13. “I can not believe what these people went through and how they kept their calm, said 9-1-1 coordinator Sandy Beitel. “The professionalism was above and beyond anything I could even imagine. They handled things expeditiously with the proper treatment of the public.” Beitel listened to an hour’s worth of calls that came into the center during the storm. “You guys made a perfect storm work out,” she said. Sandy Sullivan, Rochelle; Cassie Rogers, Rochelle; Brian Symons,
Ogle County; Cory Beck, Rochelle; Heather Butler, telecommunicators supervisor; and Kathy Hardesty, Ogle County, were on duty at the Rochelle call center during the storm. The Ogle County call center was still in transition between the old building and the new public safety complex, which required all the telecommunicators to use the same facility. “They did a great job and we were lucky to have this group working together,” said Sullivan. “They worked as a great team. Two different agencies coming together. They did an excellent job.” The high praise continued from everyone on the 9-11 board including Richard Mott, assistant chief of the Lynn-Scott-Rock Fire Department. “Thank you,” Mott said. “Being in the fire side I was on the outside. I would much rather be where I was then where you were. I would not have your job for all the tea in China.”
The telecommunicators were also presented with t-shirts. The shirt has a tornado graphic and reads “I was
the calm voice during the storm” along with their agency. A sign from Hickory Ridge Drive, a subdivision
off Skare Road west of Rochelle was returned to the county and was on display during the meeting. The sign was found
approximately 24 miles northwest in Boone County near Bloods Point and Wheeler Road.

Rain fails to deter passionate lawn tractor owners By Chris Johnson Reporter A blend of passionate owners and unique tractors were not deterred by rain on Saturday. Hundreds of garden tractors were on display at the annual AJ’s Garden Tractor Jamboree on May 16. Rick Beem, Monticello, Iowa, was taking the rain in stride as he wiped down his 1987 Cub Cadet Diesel to make it look good for the show. “This is my first time here,” said Beem. “It is a gathering of like-minded people today.” A small tent over the garden tractor kept most of the rain off. When asked why he chose
a Cub Cadet, he had a simple response. “I like them all,” said Beem. “But, I started with Cub Cadets.” Just down the row from the Cub Cadet was a pair of interesting tractors. A 1962 Farm Hand and a 1975 JC Penny. These two unique tractors were owned by Marvin Stinebaker, Riverton. “Jacobson built the Farm Hand,” said Stinebaker. “I only know of six in the country and I am trying to find more of them.” The tractor was just restored and Saturday was one of the first shows that it has been displayed at. Decals were remade to match the originals. “This tractor needed to be
restored,” said Stinebaker. Restoration was equal parts love of garden tractors and the fact that the Farm Hand is a unique vehicle. Two tractors down was the JC Penny garden tractor. “Simplicity made the tractor for JC Penny for one year in 1975,” said Stinebaker. “It was built for them.” Many companies requested a custom store brand garden tractors but Stinebaker said a JC Penny tractor is not very common. AJ’s Garden Tractor Jamboree kicked off with the traditional parade around the jamboree grounds. The event each May brings out a blend of colorful garden tractors that are displayed and used during the event.

After a passed ball by Bonnell, Baker stole home and Oregon trailed 4-3. At that point, Bonnell was taken out of the game and replaced by Thatcher.

Oregon trailed only 5-4. “We kept on hustling to the last out,” Holley said. “The only disappointment was a couple of hitters didn’t show up in the aspect we wanted them to.” Baker got out of the sixth with Bonnell stranded on base and the score remained 5-4. The Lady Hawks had one
more chance and Perkins gave them some life by reaching first base on an error. With two outs, Ally Bartling then connected on a 3-2 pitch for a single, driving Perkins to third base. Halfway between first and second, Bartling made a dash for second base instead, but was called out and the game was over.
“It was a good year. We just got caught in a few close games we could have won,” said Holley, who returns his entire team, with the exception of Baker who is the lone senior. Byron will play Stillman Valley, a 2-0 winner over Forreston-Polo, for the regional title on Saturday. Game time is 11 a.m.

Oregon second at track sectional By Andy Colbert Reporter As expected, it was Byron winning the girls 1A track and field sectional on May 15, with Oregon claiming second for the fifth year in a row. What wasn’t expected was Pec-Durand and Elgin Harvest Christian Academy challenging the Lady Hawks for second place. Byron had 109 points, Oregon 75 and close behind were P-D 72 and Elgin HCA 70. Harvest Academy (4:20.07) even took away a state-qualifying spot from Oregon’s No. 1 seeded 1,600-meter relay. The Lions’ time of 4:20.07 edged Oregon’s 4:20.99 for second. Byron won the race, with the top two relays going to state. In years past, the 1,600 relay had been the calling card for the Lady Hawks. Coming into the sectional, they had a streak of 10 straight years of qualifying for the state meet in that event. “We had a PR by 3-4 seconds and ran hard,” Oregon coach Nick Schneiderman said. “Elgin kind of surprised us. We didn’t know much about them.” Oregon did qualify its 400 and 800 relays, along with Kelsey Pudlas in the pole vault, Sarah Lauer in the triple jump and Hailey Long in the 100 hurdles.

Running what Schneiderman called their best race of the year, the 400 relay of Long, Pudlas, Lauer, and Sarah Harris took first over Elgin St. Edward (one of three Elgin schools entered) 51.09 to 51.17. Byron (51.70) took third, but qualified by meeting the state standard. “That was a PR by almost two seconds. The handoffs were really good,” the second-year coach said. That time is also close to what is usually needed to advance from the state prelims to the finals.
In the 800 relay, it was PecDurand winning at 1:48.91, with the Lady Hawks (Long, Delaney Mahoney, Harris, Pudlas) second at 1:50.77. “We finally ran a good race in the 4 by 200,” Schneiderman said. “We had a little hiccup in the second exchange, but otherwise, had three good handoffs.” Oregon was seeded fourth coming into the 800 relay. With the 400-meter run so close to the 800 relay, Scheiderman opted to substitute Pudlas for Sommer Rhea, with hopes of Rhea advancing in the 400.
Unfortunately, she just missed by the narrowest of margins, 1:03.38 to 1:03.40. Carmen DeVries of Le-Win beat Rhea out for the second place. “When we go downstate, Sommer will go back in the 800 relay,” Schneiderman said. “She missed school on Thursday for strep throat. That had to affect her.” As expected, it was a triple jump title for Lauer and also her fourth straight trip downstate in that event. She leaped 36 feet to claim be a Turn to B2
Oregon fifth at BNC track meet By Andy Colbert Reporter It was a fifth-place finish for the Oregon boys track and field team at the Big Northern conference meet at Winnebago on May 14. Newcomer Dixon won the meet with 143 points, followed by Byron with 104 and Winnebago with 84. Oregon had 52 points. The best individual finish for the Hawks was second in the shot put by Kole Mowry at 45’-4”. John Ghibellini was third at 43-4”. Football and wrestling standout Ross Sealby of
Byron dominated the throws with an effort of 53’-3” in the shot and 160’-1” in the discus. The 53’-3” is unofficially listed as second best in the 1A and the discus throw is also a top 10 mark. Sealby’s teammate, Billy Trosper, a sophomore, threw 150’-6” to take second-place honors from Ghibelllini (138-3) in the discus. The sectional promises to be a heated competition with throwers from Lena-Winslow and Polo also over 130 feet. “All year long, our Turn to B2 Friends and family cheer on Hailey Long during the 100 meter hurdles final at the Oregon Sectional May 15.

Lady Hawks second again to Byron at sectional From B1 rare 4-time sectional champ in one event. “She got the mark early and was able to stay relaxed,” Schneiderman said. “She’s consistent right now. In her mind, she wants to make it to Saturday (state finals) and have some fun.” Pudlas is returning downstate in the pole vault for the second year, clearing 8’-6”, to tie with Paige Hollaway of Byron on misses for second. Freshman Ellie Packer, the first female vaulter ever for Dakota, won the event with a height of 9’. “That’s awesome for
Kelsey to make it down again,” Schneiderman said. “She has such a great work ethic and puts the time in.” After finishing third in the hurdles, Long had anxious moments before finding out she would be going downstate on time. The state-qualifying mark is 16.64. Her time – 16.64. It was a close race between three senior hurdlers. Kylee Knox of Elgin HCA was clocked at 16.59, followed by a 16.61 by Bailey Graf of Le-Win and then Long. “Huge congrats to Hailey the way she came back after being injured last year,” Schneiderman said. “It’s
amazing to get back in shape the way she did and win the BNC title and go downstate.” Oregon had several near misses, most notably Carly Stephens in the throws. Running into several quality opponents, Stephens knew she would likely have to throw state qualifying (35’6” shot put, 108’ discus) instead of relying on a first or second-place finish. In the shot, she had a best of 34’-6”, good for fourth place. The top three throwers advanced. She took fifth in the discus at 100’-3”. “It was definitely
competitive,” Schneiderman said. “She knew she had to throw her best and that’s a lot of pressure. I’m still extremely proud of her. She’s been a solid contributor and given us points all year.” In the high jump, Mahoney needed to clear 5’2” to advance, but took third at 5’. Lauer was a foot and a half of her long jump best and had to settle for fourth with a mark of 15’-7”. Other place winners for Oregon were fifths by Alyssa Theisen in the pole vault (7’) and Elyse Cothran in the 300 hurdles (51.57).

Hawks finish in fifth place at BNC conference meet From B1 preparation is to throw the state qualifying mark (143’-0),” weight coach Doug Engle said. “Then we worry about getting better. Some years, we’ve had six, seven competitors go down state. We’re happy for all of them.” Another highlight for Oregon was a second place finish in the final event of the rain-soaked night, the 1,600-meter relay. Carson Buck, Caleb Mennen, Mitchell Nehrkorn and Andrew Newman combined to run a 3:38. Konner Wilson continued to be Oregon’s Ian Hussung and Jordan Rogers race in the 1600 meter run during steady rain at the Big the leader on the track for Oregon by Northern Conference meet in Winnebago on May 14. Hussng finished in seventh place while Rogers placing third in both the 110 and 300 was eleventh. Photo by Earleen Hinton hurdles races. Besides the throws,
those were the only individual places for Oregon. Wilson also ran a leg on a Hawk 800 relay that took third. Buck, Nehrkorn and Skylar Short were the other runners that had a time of 1:36.42. Dixon won the event at 1:33.35. “Konner Wilson had a nice meet – third in both hurdles and really good lead legs in both sprint relays,” Oregon coach Jim Spratt said. Besides Sealby, the meet’s only double winner was Austin Sikora of Rockford Lutheran in the 100 and 200. Sikora is the defending sectional champ in both of the sprints.
Hopkins qualifies for state during junior high sectional On May 16, the girls track teams from David L. Rahn Junior High traveled to Kaneland High School to participate in the IESA Sectional meet. Teams from Belvidere Central, Belvidere South, Burlington Central, DeKalb Clinton Rosette, DeKalb Huntley, DLR, Elgin Prairie Knolls, Genoa Kingston, Harvard, Kaneland Harter, Marengo and Sycamore were on hand for the daylong event. The Eagles performed well overall but the competition was tough with most schools easily twice to six times the size of DLR. In the team race, the Eagles’ eighth grade girls placed an impressive fifth with Belvidere Central taking the title. The seventh graders were eighth as a team with Sycamore winning the sectional. Abigail Hopkins had a big
day for the Eagles. She will be taking the trip to the state meet next weekend by winning the pole vault with a leap of 7’6” and placing second in the 100 meter hurdles by hitting qualifying time (17.2). She was also a member of two relays that placed third and fourth respectively; the 4x400 relay team of Hopkins, Brooke Harris, MyKenzie Beitel and Katelyn Byerley (4:40) and the 4x200 group of Katlyn Reber, Hopkins, Byerley and Beitel (2:00). The 4x100 relay of Cristina Tranchina, Bailey Nelson, Jessica Brink and Harris picked up a fifth place ribbon (59.02), Beitel was fourth in the shot put (25’), Nelson was sixth in the high jump (4’2”) and Katelin Pudlas was sixth in the discus (67’5”).

Scott, Cynthia Nyderek and Olivia Lambrigtsen placed the highest, earning a fifth place ribbon. The 4x400 relay team of DeHaan, Scott, Nyderek and Lambrigtsen was seventh and the 4x100 relay of Milene DuPre, Lauren Montavon,
Lorena Nava-Moyotl and Ashley McCormick was tenth. McCormick placed third in the shot put, the highest individual place for the seventh grade Eagles. Additional Eagles participating were: DuPre,

Girls track teams second, third at 72 meet Forreston High School was the site of the 2015 Route 72 Conference track meet on May 12. The Eagles girls’ track teams performed well individually and as a team. In the team race, the eighth grade Eagles brought home the second place trophy with 90 points. Pecatonica was first. The seventh grade team placed third to Winnebago and Byron. The Eagles crowned conference champions in five events. Abigail Hopkins won the
100 meter hurdles (17.69). Katelin Pudlas tossed the discus 70’3” to win. The eighth grade 4x200 meter relay team of Katlyn Reber, Hopkins, Katelyn Byerley and MyKenzie Beitel won in 2:04. Seventh grader, Olivia Lambrigtsen, raced to a first in the 400 meter dash in 1:10 and Ashley McCormick put the shot 24’10.5” for the first place medal.

Sports Column NUIC, BNC teams to battle this week By Andy Colbert Reporter Forget about Pacquiao versus Mayweather, Bulls and Cavs, or Cubs and Cardinals. This week, there will be a far greater sports battle going on. It will be the NUIC vs the Big Northern, as the boys from Forreston and Polo see how they fare on the baseball diamond and track against the like of Byron, Oregon and Stillman Valley. Traditionally, the Big Northern has had the upper hand on schools from the NUIC, but the power of two makes it more of an even playing field. In the Oregon baseball regional, Forreston-Polo (27-5) is the No. 1 seed, with
Stillman Valley (18-12) at No. 2. This is heady stuff for a school like Forreston that has never won a regional before. This biggest difference between F-P and SV is that Stillman plays a tougher schedule. But, after playing in the football and basketball state finals, those kids from Forreston won’t be fazed by anything. Actually, the surprise team from the BNC comes from the other division. Rockford Christian, like F-P, has never won a regional, but it is 28-5 and has two ace pitchers. Another NUIC team facing the BNC gauntlet is Stockton-Warren (242). The Warhawks would have to beat ‘Bago to have a chance at RC in another regional. It’s not out of the question for F-P and S-W to meet in the sectionals. It will quite interesting to see how things shake.

And, by the time you read this, upsets could have already occurred, making what has just been written a moot point. Stay tuned and get out and support your local team. On the track, it will be Polo-Forreston and Byron contending for the sectional crown at Byron on Friday. Forreston has won track sectionals in the early 90s, but Polo is looking for its first ever. This will be the year to do it, as Oregon is down a bit and 2A Winnebago will likely fall back into 1A next year. Based upon an advantage in the distances and field events, Byron beat P-F at the county meet. But, only five teams entered. At a larger meet like the sectional, perhaps other schools will cancel out some of the points Byron’s depth piled up at the county and boost P-F’s chances. However, Austin Sikora of
Lutheran will come in as the top sprinter and likely steal points from P-F. Like the baseball regional, it will be very interesting to see how things shake out on the track. P-F is going in as the top seed in the 400, 800 and 1,600 relays. And they’ll still get plenty of points in the 100, 200 and 400. However, unlike baseball, the end game in track isn’t to be the team champion. It’s nice to do, but the real quest is to send kids downstate and P-F will be sending plenty of them. On another track note, it’s good to see Pete Brown of Le-Win back helping out that program, after retiring in 2013. In talking with Pete at the NUIC meet last week, there was still a twinge of regret about what happened in the 2013 sectional at Oregon and how it impacted the Panther’s chance for a state trophy.

Le-Win had one of the top 400 relays in the state that year and like Jim Spratt, Brown was a master at coaching the relays. In a freakish accident in that race, a Le-Win runner and Oregon runner inadvertently bumped each other batons coming around the final curve. The result was Le-Win dropping the baton and failing to advance downstate. Not only did that miscue give Oregon a 113-108 sectional win over a Le-Win program that had never won a sectional, but, the Panthers missed that state trophy by a measly four points, four points that would have easily been earned by that 400 relay downstate. Though Oregon benefitted from the miscue, even finishing a half point ahead of Le-Win at the state meet, it was a very sad way for Pete to go out in his 35th and final year as L-W coach. You won’t find a better
Andy Colbert
man than Pete as a high school coach. One comment he made to me last week was that perhaps he should have appealed the race to meet officials. Later, when watching a film of what happened, a case could have been made for L-W to go back on the track and re-run the race.

Bison busy helping native prairie at Nachusa From A1 “Sometimes the herd is where we have planned to sweep weeds with our stewardship groups. When that happens we just go somewhere else. We’re trying not to influence their behavior,” he said. Plans are underway to build a self-guided interpretive center along Lowden Road, south of the Grasslands headquarters barn, where visitors can learn about the prairie and, of course, the bison. Those additions could be added in 2016. “We hope to have a design for school groups. We really want it to be super informative,” he said. “And we are trying to figure out how to have several pull-offs along the roads where people can safely pull over to see the animals.” He’s noticed that the bison tend to be grazing on the portion of the prairie that was burned where the new fresh grasses and flowers are growing. He’s also noticed at least one large wallow pit, created by the 1,700+ pound bison rolling on the prairie. “Wallowing can also create a micro-habitat for amphibians,” he said. Just a few yards down from the wallow pit is a smaller fenced exclosure designed to keep the bison out. Inside the exclosure, a single birdsfoot violet stood surrounded by grass. Outside the exclosure, the violets flooded the hillside. “That’s exciting to see. All the blooming is outside the

exclosure,” said Considine, crediting the violets’ growth to the bison grazing. “We collected data inside the exclosure before the bison arrived. We are very encouraged by what we are seeing. Essentially, this is a grand experiment.” About the Bison For several months prior to the bison’s arrival, volunteers, staff, and contractors worked sideby-side putting up a 6-foot
fence made with high tensile woven wire and reinforced with cast iron pipes and constructing a state-of-theart bison corral. But the real foundation for getting a conservation herd of bison at the Grasslands started years ago and was accomplished through hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours that helped reshape the farmland back into a habitat that could again support bison. The bison at the Grasslands
came from TNC preserves like Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota. The Nature Conservancy currently has 13 preserves with approximate 5,500 bison. Wind Cave bison are unique because they have not been bred with cattle. They bison were released into smaller pastures until they gradually acclimated to their new 500-acre home in the North Bison Unit. Eventually, there will be about 1,500 acres of land
available to the herd. Some are fitted with a GPS chips that allow scientists to easily track them and study their habits. Microchips will also contain data about each animal including, age, weight, vacation history, and its DNA profile. How they graze and what they eat is also being studied. Their diet is almost 99.9% grass. and that helps native forbs (flowers) thrive. For example, bison dung could help the Grasslands’ ornate
box turtle population increase and become healthier. The dung attracts beetles and turtles eat beetles. Bison’s grazing habits may give the turtles more lanes to walk, Considine said. Visitor areas, yet to be built, will eventually provide areas where the general public may be able to see the conservation herd. Programming will be added to help teach visitors about the bison and how they’ll help benefit the preserve.
Above left, a bison rests at Nachusa Grasslands while other members of the herd graze. Above right, Cody Considine, restoration ecologist for the Grasslands, shows how the bison have avoided prairie plants while grazing. By the eating the grasses, the bison are helping prairie plants survive by eliminating competition. Photos by Earleen Hinton

Woman gets four years probation on fraud charge Sauk Valley Media An Oregon woman who deposited a fraudulent check in a Rochelle credit union, then withdrew $20,000 that didn’t belong to her, will be on probation for four years and must pay the money back. Linda Warrner, 53, formerly of Fulton, was sentenced May 13 in Ogle
County Court on a charge of financial institution fraud. As part of a plea agreement, one count of misappropriation of financial property and two other counts of financial institution fraud were dropped. She also must submit to DNA and random drug testing, and complete a psychological or substance
abuse assessment. According to a State’s Attorney Eric Morrow, Warrner deposited a $68,976 check from Bitsight Technologies Inc., made payable to her, into an account she had opened at Rock Valley Credit Union, Rochelle, and withdrew funds “she knew she wasn’t entitled to. She knew she had never worked for this
company.” According to court documents, the check was dated March 10, she opened the IRA account on March 13, and withdrew the $20,000 on March 14, “knowing that she never worked for Bitsight Technologies, that she was never issued a check from that corporation, and that the check she used to open her IRA account was fake.”
How Warrner obtained the check never was revealed, Morrow said. She could have been sentenced to 3 to 7 years and fined up to $25,000. Bitsight Technologies Inc., headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., evaluates and rates companies on their security measures and offers security software.

Annual Drinking Water Quality Report Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.
Source of Drinking Water
FORRESTON IL1410200 Annual Water Quality Report for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2014 This report is intended to provide you with important information about your drinking water and the efforts made by the water system to provide safe drinking water. The source of drinking water used by FORRESTON is Ground Water

_________________________________________
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.
Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.
For more information regarding this report contact: Name
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pickup substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.

This report will NOT be individually mailed to customers. However, a copy is available at Village Hall upon request. The Board of Trustees meetings are helt the 1st and 3rd Mondays of each month at 7 p.m. in Village Hall. The public is invited to attend and participate.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.
Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a or other immune system disorders, some elderly and variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm infants can be particularly at risk from water runoff, and residential uses. infections. These people should seek advice about Organic chemical contaminants, including drinking water from their health care providers. synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen by-products of industrial processes and petroleum the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other production, and can also come from gas stations, microbial contaminants are available from the Safe urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. We cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Source Water Assessment We want our valued customers to be informed about their water quality. If you would like to learn more, please feel welcome to attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. The source water assessment for our supply has been completed by the Illinois EPA. If you would like a copy of this information, please stop by City Hall or call our water operator at __________________. To view a summary version of the completed Source Water Assessments, including: Importance of 815-275-5528 Source Water; Susceptibility to Contamination Determination; and documentation/recommendation of Source Water Protection Efforts, you may access the Illinois EPA website at http://www.epa.state.il.us/cgi-bin/wp/swap-fact-sheets.pl.
Based on information obtained in a Well Site Survey published in 1990 by the Illinois EPA, one potential source is located within 1,000 feet of one of the wells.The Illinois EPA has determined that the Forreston Community Water Supply's source water is not suspectibile to contamination. This determination is based on a number of criteria including; monitoring conducted at the wells; monitoring conducted at the entry point to the distribution system; and available hydrogeologic data on the wells.Furthermore, in anticipation of the U.S. EPA's proposed Ground Water Rule, the Illinois EPA has determined that the Forreston Community Water Supply is not vulnerable to viral contamination. This determination is based upon the evaluation of the following criteria during the Vulnerability Waiver Process: the community's wells are properly constructed with sound integrity and proper siting conditions; a hydraulic barrier exists which should prevent pathogen movement; all potential routes and sanitary defects have been mitigated such that the source water is adequately protected; monitoring data did not indicate a history of disease outbreak; and the sanitary survey of the water supply did not indicate a viral contamination threat. Because the community's wells are constructed in a confined aquifer, which should prevent the movement of pathogens into the wells, well hydraulics were not considered to be a significant factor in the susceptibility determination. Hence, well hydraulics were not evaluated for this system ground water supply.

Astrograph Limit your spending Thursday, May 21, 2015 You are a unique and creative individual. Start doing more for yourself and less of what everyone else thinks you should do. Regaining control over your life will strengthen your character and increase your selfconfidence. This is your year to put your needs first and reap the rewards. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Communicating with a distant friend or relative will remind you of your earlier goals. Revisit those ideas and start researching ways to get yourself back on track. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It may be flattering to be the object of attention, but a charismatic con artist may be leading you on. Rumors and gossip can fuel resentment and jealousy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Proceed slowly and carefully. You are likely to miss an important detail or opportunity if you are in too much of a hurry. Double-check your work to ensure accuracy.
