Throughout the winter and spring sports seasons, the female athletes from Scales Mound and River Ridge are teammates – whether in basketball or softball, they work together and have built some strong friendships. But in the Fall, Volleyball, is the only sport in which they get a chance to square off against each other ... and that means a lot. "Oh, it's huge," said Gwen Miller of River Ridge. "For me it's bigger than Galena." And with both teams having vastly improved, strong young squads t...
Student cheering sections are there – usually – to support their team, and also have some fun. But sometimes the desire to "have fun" can lead to ... well ... stupidity. The Dakota Indians were visiting the Eastland Cougars in Lanark for a non-conference game Wednesday night, and that meant that their superstar hitter, Abi Schlueter, was going to be there too. Now, for those who don't know, Schlueter is one of those rare players who is a true superstar. One that is already destined to play at...
And David picked up a stone and slung it, and as it hit right on the line, the referee paused ... and paused ... and paused, then called it out of bounds. Make no mistake, the Lena-Winslow Panthers had Aquin on the ropes. They came in prepared, and coach Sue Amendt was calling out exactly what to cover, and what to expect from the Bulldogs. And when Lucy Arndt rotated into the back row, coach Amendt called out, "Now we get on a roll." They were going to, everybody knew it – even Aquin as t...
The Galena Pirates have a solid football program – anybody thinking otherwise is kidding themselves – but even good teams can have the walls cave in on them, and the Lena-Winslow Panthers have been breaking down walls ever since the season started. To say that the Panther running game is potent would be like saying the Grand Canyon is a nice sized ditch. With Gage Dunker pounding the middle, and the speed of Jake Zeal on the outside, the Panthers have been running over the competition. But unt...
Two teams searching for their first win on the season collided in Freeport Friday night with both thinking they had a good shot of leaving with the victory. Both Aquin and Orangeville knew they were more evenly matched than the teams they've played so far but the Bulldogs were the ones who asserted themselves in a big way as they defeated the Broncos 60-26 to earn their first win. In the early minutes of the game, however, Orangeville made a statement as they marched down the field quickly after kickoff relying on the legs of junior running bac...
All week long leading up to their conference battle with Dakota, the Stockton Blackhawks knew what they had to do, but being able to do it ... that was the question. "We were scared of number six (Adrian Arellano) all week," said Blackhawk head coach Matt Leitzen. "We knew how fast he was, and he hurt us with his legs." Dakota proved how fast they were as they took the opening kickoff and marched 54 yards in less than 40 seconds before fullback, Thomas Bowman, powered into the end zone from a...
VOICES of Stephenson County is expanding once again, opening a second location in the fourth quarter of 2022. This marks the first time in the organization’s 40-year history it will be operating from two buildings. “An unprecedented demand for our services to survivors of sexual and domestic violence and their families prompted this decision,” said Beth Maskell, VOICES executive director. “We are seeing record numbers of clients and providing more hours of service to them as well. This expansion is a logical next step for VOICES as the best way...

My day started early yesterday and ended late, but it couldn’t have ended better. A young man who was visiting our church with some friends, came to Bible study, heard the message of God from the Bible, and decided he’d rather go to heaven than hell, so he committed his life to Jesus before he went home. We ended up standing around in the kitchen at church, talking about eternity, man, sin, and angels and what God expects from us and he decided he wanted to ask Jesus into his heart. So, he pra...
Have you ever stopped to think about how screwed up the world is right now? I was sitting at my desk, typing in the Church News for this week, and I always tend to have CNBC on television in the background. I like it because unlike your normal news channels – who are completely biased and tick me off to no end – CNBC only cares about your money and the stock market. They don’t care about politics unless it alters the economy and affects the market – so they see Democrats and Republicans as equa...

My boss told me he doesn’t have time for performance reviews, so he’s just going to criticize me in public from time to time. My boss told me to have a good day … so I went home. My company’s policy is to hire professional staff, then micro manage them until they walk out the door. When my boss is mad, and takes it out on me, I do less work. You can’t reward bad behavior with a positive response. I’d tell my boss to go jump in a lake, but he’d probably just delegate that to me too. Well, off to work I go. The place where the size of my boss’ e...

A few months ago, I had mentioned that the Stephenson County Farm Bureau Foundation was soliciting applications for our “Roots and Shoots Grant”. I am excited to announce that the Foundation has awarded two worthy organizations the honor of being our 2022 “Roots and Shoots Grant” recipients. Those who were chosen applied requesting funds along with an explanation as to how their businesses/organizations provided employment and agriculture related opportunities to youth in our county. The bus...
