Open Letter To Jo Daviess County; Are you aware of what the Jo Daviess County Board is planning for the future of Jo Daviess County? The County Board is in the planning stages to develop a County Park working with the Jo Daviess Conservation Foundation. They are stating that it will not be a tax liability for the tax payers. The funds will come from outside sources. About every municipality in Jo Daviess County has a park that is on their tax rolls. We also have three State Parks in our local area. When you have control of a park, there are...
The Lena-Winslow/Stockton Pantherhawks had been breezing through the competition as they awaited the annual showdown with Dakota. But if they really wanted to challenge themselves ... they needed to take on a tougher opponent – so last week they moved up a class to challenge both Freeport and DeKalb. And while Freeport is still building their program and was not much of a challenge, the DeKalb Barbs handed the Pantherhawks their first defeat of the season. Lena-Winslow 58.0 Freeport 6.0 285: J...

The Stephenson County Fair Association (SCFA) is excited to announce the 2021 Stephenson County Fair will go on. Dates for the fair are Tuesday, July 27 through Saturday, July 31.

We hope that phase will allow us to move into Phase 5 as early as June 11. The SCFA board, staff, and volunteers have been working hard to plan a great fair this year. C.D.A.C. A...
Just about everyone reading this – at one point or another – has been to a function at the Masonic Temple in Freeport. Whether it was a concert, banquet or special event ... the iconic building that was christened when John Phillip Sousa made the first performance on that stage ... is in trouble. When you take into consideration the sheer size and mass of the building, can you imagine what the cost is to heat it each winter? What about the water or electric bill? We were stunned when we fou...
Today’s column is meant for parents and grandparents. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them.” We have a job to do. Our son graduated from the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine on May 8, 2021. It’s been a long road. We are thrilled because he took a job close to home and our new granddaughter will live close by. He will be working as a licensed DVM for Northern Illinois Veterinary Services in Stockton, Illinois. He is licensed to practic...
There was a wedding ceremony last Saturday. And while the days of being a participant are well and gone for me, I was still caught off guard when my loving wife began to present her list of things I needed to do leading up to it. “Get a haircut.” Now, being told on Saturday that I needed a haircut before the following Saturday seemed like a relatively easy task. But when I still hadn’t done it by Tuesday, I could tell she was getting a little flustered. She never said anything, but … trust m...

So, for about three weeks, Cade was practicing and/or playing football, baseball and hockey all at the same time ... in addition to finishing his senior year at Orangeville High School.

To all of this year's graduates ... congratulations. Even a global pandemic couldn't stop you! High School is like a free trial on education. Once you graduate, they say, "Now, if you want to continue, pay $50,000." Educated people are hot ... because they have more degrees.

Soon, the alumni association hopes you will pay a lot more money to have GONE to college. How many college graduates does it...

Business owners were up in arms, and getting more frustrated as their complaints seemed to fall on deaf ears, but in the end, the people behind the Chicago Avenue project are far from ignoring local concerns. To set the stage, Freeport announced a project that would completely redo Chicago Street downtown from Douglas Street all the way down to Jackson. The project would add in a new bike path, and extend curbs at the corners – but in the process was going to do away with all parking on the N...
