Kids passionate about exhibits

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com Passionate and excited children anxiously awaited their turn to talk to fair judges Saturday afternoon at the Ogle County Fairgrounds.

No one was more excited then five-year-old Elizabeth Kennedy, a Cloverbud with the By-Y-Badgers 4-H club in Byron.

“I love to paint,” she said as she showed her project to everyone that walked by. “It is easy to do but it is fun.”

When asked about what her project was that she made for the fair, Kennedy did not hesitate to describe her painting.

“I painted on the board,” she said. “Their are rubber bands on the board that gave me this look.”

This was the first year for Kennedy at the fair and she

even wanted to tell people about her sister’s project, which was basic sewing skills.

After waiting for her turn to talk to the judges, Kennedy walked over to the judge with her head held high and a huge smile on her face.

Every 4-Her entering a project in the county fair had similar stories of their passion for their projects.

From the youngest Cloverbuds to the seasoned veterans, projects were brought before the judges by the 4-Hers.

Chelsea Eden has been exhibiting for years and decided to try something different this year.

“The painting is oil,” Eden said. “I like how this painting allowed me to get out of my shell and do something different.”

In previous years, Eden

has entered paintings but had always used different mediums to create the art.

When talking to the fair judges, the 4-Hers had the opportunity to learn tips and

techniques on how to get better in the future.

Jerry Young, a carpenter with a shop in Leaf River, was one of the judges.

He listened to By-Y-

Badgers member Ryan Reeverts talk about a cutting board, before asking basic questions about the project.

Preparations for opening day of the Ogle County Fair had fair officials, volunteers, and participants working long hours early this week.

The 162nd fair opened Wednesday and runs through Sunday at the fairgrounds on Lime Kiln Road, just north of Ill. 64 a mile west of Oregon.

Plenty of help and a favorable weather forecast had fair board president Harlan Holm feeling good Tuesday morning.

“Preparations are going quite well. Things are coming together,” he said.

“We’ve had a good turnout

of new volunteers. They’ve been showing up here at the fairgrounds and asking what they can do to help.”

With a forecast of temperatures in the 80s and only slight chances of rain, it appeared that Mother Nature would do her part as well.

“Weather-wise we are looking pretty good, too,” Holm said. “It’s supposed to be in the mid to high 80s and rain is slightly possible on Wednesday and Sunday. We can handle that.”

He said the carnival arrived Monday afternoon and workers set up rides late into the night. The grounds shows were also getting ready for their performances on Tuesday.

“I think they’re going to

put on real good shows,” Holm said.

Volunteers were also working Tuesday to get the livestock barns ready for 4-H and open show exhibitors, who were slated to arrive Wednesday afternoon.

Tickets to the fair can be purchased at the gate for $8 per person which includes unlimited carnival rides, grounds shows, and most entertainment events.

Tickets to the grand stand shows are $10 each.

Ample free parking is available in a large field south of the fairgrounds.

Polo residents raise questions over grocery store

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Polo residents expressed their support last week for a new grocery store opening in town, but also voiced some concerns.

Vicki Hunt summed it up.

“I think everyone in town wants a grocery store,” she said. “But what kind of store are you giving us?”

During a town meeting July 23 at the Polo Fire Station, Hunt and other residents fired questions at Ahmad Farraj, Rock Falls, who said he plans to open his grocery store around Sept. 15 in the former Polo Super Valu building at 203 S. Division Ave. (Ill. 26).

Alderman Randy Schoon agreed with Hunt.

“I don’t think there’s a person here who doesn’t want a grocery store in town,” he said. “Having said that I have some concerns.”

The city has been without a grocery store for almost eight years.

Polo Super Valu was owned and operated by Paul and Terri Koenck for many years.

They sold the store to Yong Shim in 2007, and it closed several months later.

Some of the concern came from issues that arose when Shim owned the store.

“The last owner wasn’t a very good experience,” said Diane Bishop. “I wanted to support my community but I

didn’t shop there.”

Schoon and others weren’t impressed with the upkeep of the grocery store property and other properties Farraj owns.

“Ahmad’s properties around town look tough,” he said.

Dick Butler said the store property has weeds growing up and doesn’t look ready to open.

Mayor Doug Knapp said Farraj has already completed several repairs to the building Jessie Ross asked Farraj about the variety of products the store will stock.

Farraj said he will carry name brands as well as generic brands.

“We will have quality food,” he said.

Polo Economic Development Committee (PEDC) member Mike Faivre said that while a small store like Farraj is planning can’t compete with the variety offered by large chains, it can fill a niche.

Farraj said the store will be open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily and will employ approximately 20 people on two shifts.

Jared Monroe asked if the jobs will be full-time or parttime.

Farraj said that would depend on how busy the store is.

Harold Folkers, who lives outside of Polo, asked Farraj about his experience in the grocery business.

Farraj said he currently has

a store in Davenport, Iowa, and ran one in Chicago for several years.

Butler also asked for revenue projections.

Mayor Doug Knapp said he and Farraj have estimated the store will bring in from $700,000 to $900,000 annually.

Farraj has approached the city council several times over the last few months to request financial incentives to help him with building repairs and start-up costs.

Knapp said the city has limited funds, but the city council has discussed rebating the city’s portion of state sales tax back to Farraj for a limited time period. The city receives one percent of the sales tax.

For example, Knapp said, if the city rebates 100 percent of the sales tax it receives, that would amount to an estimated $80,000 over 10 years, $120,000 over 15 years, and $160,000 over 20 years.

The council has not yet voted on a rebate.

PEDC member Don Vock pointed out that the sales tax is money the city currently doesn’t get, meaning that rebating it to Farraj would not decrease current revenues.

“In reality, you not giving any money out of city coffers,” he said.

Once the agreed upon time limit expires, the sales tax would boost city revenues if the grocery store is still in business.

Officials look at building a jail

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com After years of discussing the need for a new jail, Ogle County officials are taking the first step in the process of building one.

County board member Don Griffin, Oregon, told the board July 21 that the Long Range & Strategic Planning Committee, which he chairs, is looking at various

companies to do a feasibility study for the project.

The committee decided July 14 to spend no more than $40,000 on the study without county board approval.

Last November as part of the 2015 budget, the board approved a five-year plan that included spending $25 million for a new jail in 2018.

Various sites have been discussed for the new jail, most recently near the new

public safety complex on First Street in Oregon.

The present jail, which is attached to the courthouse, was built in 1969.

Mark Goldman and Robert Aguirre from the National Institute of Corrections inspected the jail in 2009 and recommended building a new one.

Lack of space and poor ventilation were two of the problems they listed in their report.

Becky McCanse loved libraries as a child and thought working in one would be a fine career.

“I thought being a librarian was a perfect job,” she said with a smile. “All you had to do was read books and stamp them.”

McCanse, 63, retired earlier this month after 30 years as director of the Mt. Morris Public Library.

As she grew up and planned her career, being a librarian had faded from her thoughts.

She graduated from college with a degrees in sociology and psychology, but no jobs were open in those fields.

She decided to go back to school, and a counselor suggested she was wellsuited for being a librarian, something she was already thinking about again.

All supplies including power tools will be available and the center always welcomes donations of leftover paint or other supplies.

“At Serenity we are always looking for ways to help people handle their grief in new and creative ways,” said Lynn Knodle, the Executive Director.

“Working on projects with your hands and designing new pieces of furniture or doing something as simple as painting are not traditionally thought of as therapeutic, but if you have ever been lost in a project or had a great conversation

while working alongside someone, you can see the power of using this type of facility to work through the bereavement process.”

People donate items to Angel Treasures, an upscale resale shop that helps support hospice, that frequently cannot be sold “as is.”

For example many pieces, such as a baby crib, cannot be legally resold, but they can be turned into a bench or wine rack.

Pieces that are outdated can be repainted and made to look like new.

Some of the repurposing gets quite creative, such as an old suitcase turned into a dog’s bed or an old coffee table transformed into a play station.

Participants do not have to have previous experience.

People will be available to help teach participants how to use the equipment and offer ideas and instructions.

“We are always looking for ways to be smart and effective at Serenity,” Knodle said.

“With just a little work, some of these donated items can be resold.

But most importantly, we can now offer yet another type of grief assistance that has been proven to be very effective.”

The Serenity Shed has received the support of a grant offered by the A. Charles and Lillemor Foundation, based in Oregon.

The foundation looks for innovative thinkers and ideas in the local community that they can collaborate with on many different projects.

The Serenity Shed has also already received support from Village of Progress clients who have spent many hours helping to get the facility ready to open.

The grand opening is scheduled for Friday, Aug. 21 and Saturday, Aug. 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day.

“We invite everyone to stop by our grand opening and get a real feel for what The Serenity Shed is all about,” Knodle said. “There will be examples of repurposed items and people will be able to tour our new facility, ask questions and learn all about this new and exciting place.”

Sterling to be site for new Outdoor Sports Expo Shaw Media It’s no secret that Dave Druen loves the great outdoors.

The Sterling businessman, owner of Dave’s Outdoor World, has spent years reveling in the beauty of the Rock River and the Hennepin Canal, promoting their economic benefits and advocating for their care and upkeep.

Now he and fellow Rock River Trail Initiative council member Matthew Hilligoss are taking their passion for the local waterways to another level, by creating a free outdoor-themed event they hope will attract people from all over, and draw attention to the Sauk Valley’s natural wonders.

Vendors regionwide are invited to participate in the inaugural Outdoor Sports Expo, to be held on Saturday, Aug. 22 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Moonlight Bay Marina, 1552 Mound Hill Rd., Sterling.

Admission will be free to vendors and the public, Druen said in an email.

He and Hilligoss “want to promote outdoor recreation and help to promote our outdoor recreational opportunities and resources

To sign up For more information or to sign up for the inaugural Outdoor Sports Expo, to be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 22 at Moonlight Bay Marina, contact organizer Dave Druen at 815-716-3366 or davesoutdoorworld@gmail. com or find Dave’s Outdoor World on Facebook.

Admission is free to vendor and the public. we all have here in the local area,” Druen wrote.

There will be goods, services, information and demonstrations related to bike and motor cycling, hiking, boating, gun and bow hunting, fishing, kayaking, camping, etc., and vendors in these and all related outdoor sports fields are welcome.

Also welcome are clubs and organizations that promote and support outdoor recreation.

boats and more, Personal Water Craft, the Illinois Paddling Council, Trails for Illinois, and the Rock River Trail Initiative.

He’s hoping to get confirmation soon from businesses and groups such as the Sinnissippi Rod & Gun Club, Rockford Hover Craft, and Arrow Tv Bow hunters, and he’s also hoping many more will sign up for what he plans to be an annual event.

“I think this will be an exciting show like no other in the area,” Druen said, adding that he “is committed to promoting the area every way that I can.”

There also will be music, and the bar and restaurant at the marina, 1552 Mound Hill Road, will be open.

Visitors can make a day of it: The expo will end just as Venetian Night begins, up the road on the Rock River in Dixon.

The second annual Dixon Main Street event will feature European-themed food, a lighted boat parade, street performers and roaming musicians, artists and artisan vendors, a mask performance and workshop, fireworks and an after party.

Admission is free.

Kable Band director retires

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com

Pictured left to right are: CHS Stewardship Committee members Chris Dreska, Steve Truckenbrod, Sarah Moris, and Lynn Smith, fair board president Harlan Holm, and fair board treasurer Brad Larson.

After almost six decades as director of Mt. Morris’ Kable Concert Band, Warren Reckmeyer handed off his baton at this week’s Wednesday night concert.

Warren, 91, is retiring after 59 years, and Oregon High School Band Director Andy Eckardt will take over.

“It’s just been a lot of fun.

It really has,” he said Monday evening.

Warren holds the record for the longest time a director has served the band, which has played every year since 1896.

“They usual stayed about a year,” he said.

Warren started playing in the band shortly after he and his wife Carol moved to Mt. Morris in 1955.

“We had hardly set foot in Mt. Morris when [the late] Rod Kelsey was knocking on the door about the band,” Carol said. “We were expecting our first child.”

It was logical to ask Warren

since he was the newly hired band director for the Mt. Morris School District.

Two years later in 1957 he was named the band’s 30th director.

The Reckmeyers share a love of music. Carol was also a music instructor, teaching vocal music in Mt. Morris Schools for many years. The two retired from teaching in 1985.

Warren’s interest in music began in high school.

“We had a fine high school band,” he said. “I just respected the director very much.”

In college he planned to pursue a degree in engineering, but changed his mind.

“Music was the most fun,” he explained with a grin.

Warren played in the college band and in a dance band during his three-year stint in the U.S. Army.

He plays all instruments, but clarinet and saxophone are his specialty.

Besides directing and playing in the Kable Concert

Band, Reckmeyer plays almost weekly in a jazz band in Rockford.

In recent years he has played with a circus band during visits to Sarasota, Florida.

Carol is also a percussionist in the Kable Concert Band.

Warren said the band was founded in 1845, making it one of the oldest in Illinois, but “really took off ” in 1896.

The band was originally sponsored by Harry and Harvey Kable, the brothers who founded Kable Printing Company in 1898.

Warren said the Kables advertised all over the country for band members, and also offered to teach them the printing trade.

The band is now funded through a village tax levy, and the director and members are paid a stipend.

Band members come from all over the area for the summer season. The band plays every Wednesday evening in June and July at 8 p.m. at the band shell in downtown Mt. Morris.

Oregon podiatrist donated shoes for Fairdale victims Shaw Media Although Carole Poplin’s home was still standing after the April 9 tornado, it was uninhabitable, and she lost a lot of important everyday assets, including shoes.

“We were displaced, and most of our belongings were damaged because the windows busted out,” said Poplin, who lived in Fairdale with her husband, daughter, and two grandchildren.

Although Poplin was able to get used, donated shoes,

they wore out quickly because she’s on her feet all day working at an animal shelter.

Thanks to a generous donation, Poplin now has new shoes.

Katherine Bailey, a podiatrist with offices in Oregon and Rochelle, donated dozens upon dozens of Dr. Comfort Shoes and insoles to Fairdale victims.

The shoes and insoles can cost nearly $150 combined.

The shoes were given out at the Kirkland Fire District during a Fairdale community

meeting July 23.

Ann Bottom said her house at West and Keith Streets in Fairdale was a total loss.

She’s currently living in South Elgin and plans to rebuild.

Before last Thursday, Bottom only had one pair of tennis shoes, but she received a new pair of pink Dr. Comforts and insoles..

“Tennis shoes are tennis shoes for me,” Bottom said. “As long as they’re comfortable, I’m not too picky.”

Polo car show set for Aug. 8 The Polo Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the 26th Annual Car, Bike, and Truck Show on Saturday, Aug. 8 in downtown Polo.

Dear Editor, This goes out to the gentleman that almost got hit on Monroe Street [Oregon] when he went through a stop sign on his bicycle. Because I had to put on the breaks so hard the antique clock on the floor in back broke and the glass broke.

So I’m just saying please watch for cars. You were awful close to really getting hurt. Kudos to you for wearing a helmet, though!

Butterflies have their day in the sun at Elkhorn Monarchs, red admirals, and plenty of other butterflies didn’t mind the near 90-degree heat at the Elkorn Creek Biodiversity Preserve on Sunday—after all it was their day in the sun.

The winged bursts of color were the center of attraction at the Northwest Illinois Audubon Society’s annual Elkhorn Creek Butterfly Festival, located on West Grove Road, southwest of Forreston.

Visitors were greeted at the preserve’s entrance by volunteers ready to talk about butterflies and their ecosystems.

Juliet D’Souza, an Audubon board member, led one of several guided tours through the preserve, pointing out butterflies as they zipped by sometimes pausing on one of the preserve’s many wildflowers.

“Look at this milkweed plant,” she said pointing at the plant’s stem. “There’s a monarch caterpillar right there.”

One of the youngsters leaned in to see the striped caterpillar. “I see him,” she said.

“And what’s he doing?,” asked D’Souza.

“He’s eating the leaves,” the girl replied.

“That’s right,” D’Souza said. “Milkweeds are very important.”

Festival participants were encouraged to try their hand at catching a butterfly with a loaner net. They also received plenty of learning materials such as a free “Illinois Butterflies and Moths” pocket guide to help them identify each species.

Visitors could also retreat to a shady area will complete with chairs, cold beverages, and snacks, much needed amenities for humans on a hot afternoon.

One small snake also found the shaded area in the Rachel Pederson, age 27, Mt. Morris, looks for butterflies during the Northwest Illinois Audubon Society’s Elkhorn preserve to its liking.

Ganymedes vintage base ball team headed to tournament Team pumped up to compete

By Andy Colbert Reporter After 11 years as a Vintage base ball (not baseball per 1867 lingo) club, it’s off to the big time for the Oregon Ganymedes.

On Aug. 8-9, the locals will travel to Dearborn, Michigan to compete in the World Tournament of Historic Baseball.

“We’re super pumped up about it,” said Mark Herman, the manager and pitcher of the Ganymedes. “The guys are looking forward to see where we stand.”

Unlike other vintage games, which are more social, laid-back affairs, the Dearborn tourney promises to challenge Oregon.

“This is different because it is more aggressive and competitive,” Herman said.

By virtue of being an established team and having authentic uniforms, Oregon was able to enter a lottery for admission into the 16-team tournament. Last fall, they found out they were one of only two teams (Springfield)

from Illinois whose names were drawn.

Other clubs are from Indiana, Michigan and Ohio.

All games will be played in Greenfield Village at the Henry Ford Museum.

Herman described the site as being similar to Midway Village in Rockford, but about five times larger.

“We’re part of the entertainment, just like at Disneyland,” the only “old” guy on the Ganymede club said. “We’ll be ambassadors for Oregon.”

The Ganymedes have a definite hometown feel with every player other than Herman being an Oregon graduate. Players on this particular traveling team are Aaron Berg, Brad Bull, Bill Roschi, Brett Rogers, Steve Tilton, Kevin Stafford, Ricky Krug, Jay Throw, Jamie Wilcox, Nate Minnis and Justin Early.

“We’re younger than normal with most guys going to Detroit in the thirties,” Herman said.

The Henry Ford tournament is supposedly the most authentic in the country, with no gloves, bunting or overhand pitching. It is in its 13th year and the team to

beat is Saginaw, Michigan, champs five of the past six years.

Oregon opens up on Aug. 8 at 11 a.m. against Columbus Capitals. They will then play either the Walker Tavern Wheels from Brooklyn, Michigan or the Canal Fulton Mules from Eastlake, Ohio.

Also on Saturday night, Oregon players, family and friends will attend a Detroit Tiger-Boston Red Sox baseball game, courtesy of a corporate suite that Minnis has access to from a company he works for.

“The whole trip will be a lot of fun for all of us,” Herman said.

This past Saturday, the Ganymedes (8-3) had a warm-up for the World Tournament, competing against three other teams at the Vintage Base Ball Festival at Cantigny Park in Wheaton.

In the opening contest, Oregon lost to a very good Lemont Quarryman club, 3-2.

“A couple bobbled balls were the difference in a well-played close match,” Herman said. “It’s a wake-up call for our team before we

go to Detroit.”

In its second game, the Ganymedes climbed all over the DuPage Plowboys, taking

a 10-1 lead in the fifth inning.

After that, both teams let the children in the stands run the bases for them, resulting in a

12-10 Oregon win.

District.

The golfing event started in 1996 in memory of the late Doug Vedra, former Forrestville Valley School board member and athletic booster.

The majority of net income from the event comes from sponsor donations and golf contributions, and the event is a day of fun to raise money for a valuable cause.

The Forrestville Valley School Foundation was founded in 1990 by former administrators and alumni who were passionate about

the youth of the communities and their education.

The foundation gives mini-grants twice a year to staff members of the school district to enhance an area of the curriculum for students K-12.

The foundation also awards scholarships to graduating seniors of Forreston High School.

For more information call Forreston State Bank at 815938-3121 or the Forrestville Valley School District at 815-938-2036.

The event begins with a 10 a.m. shotgun start. The cost is $40 per person or $160 per team for the 18 hole fourperson scramble with cart, lunch, and awards.

The registration deadline has past, but check to see if late sign-ups can still be

accepted.

For more information call Cliff Bardell at 815-6311797.

Funds from this year’s golf outing will be used to purchase Chrome Books for fourth and fifth grade students at Centennial Elementary School.

The foundation is giving all funds from this golf outing to this program and will match a dollar for each dollar raised to give to this “1 to 1 teaching initiative.”

Donations are welcome.

The Polo Community School Foundation consists of community members that continuously strive to

support not only the students but the teachers of the Polo School District.

The foundation gives up to three scholarships each year to graduating seniors to help offset their college or trade school expenses.

The foundation provides a grant process to the teachers each year for “out of the box” instruction within the classroom, an initiative to promote learning in a creative way to help engage students.

The foundation manages many investments to help to continue to build a strong base for the school district and its students.

Softball tournaments were in full swing for Polo

By Larry Loomis Beginning July 20, Polo hosted both the Junior and Senior Division rounds of the yearly league tournaments.

On Monday, July 20, in game one, Polo Two hosted Forreston and came away with a convincing 12-1 win to advance to the semi-final round against Dixon One at Dixon Wednesday evening.

Polo Two jumped off to a 5-0 lead after an inning of play and never looked back.

Mallory Patterson led off the home half of the first inning with a single. Braelyn Velez drew a walk.

Sierra Wolfley followed Velez’s walk by getting one of her own to fill the bases with none out.

Becca Wagner took advantage of Forreston’s pitcher’s wildness and walked to force in the first Polo run of the night.

Emileigh Williams was hit by a pitch to force in another run. Morgan McBride walked to force in yet another run and then two infield outs brought in two more runs as Polo bolted to a 5-0 lead after an inning.

Polo would add three more runs in the bottom of the second. Once again, Mallory Patterson smacked a single to open the inning.

Three walks and two errors later and Polo had an 8-0 lead.

The score stood at 8-0 when Forreston managed to pick up their only run in the top of the fifth when, Patterson in relief of Wagner, walked four batters to force in a run before she picked up her third strikeout of the inning to close out the guests.

In the bottom of the same inning, Polo would end the game under the 10-run rule with four runs.

Maddi Jones singled to open the Polo fifth. Izzy Sellers and Kaley Lowrey

drew walks to fill the bases.

Then, with one down, Patterson, who went three for four smashed a ball to the left field corner for a grand slam homerun giving Polo a 12-1 win to advance to Dixon One on Wednesday evening.

For the game, Polo collected five hits and a dozen base on balls.

Forreston had no hits and suffered 13 strikeouts as Wagner and Patterson kept the visitors off the bases.

In game two, Polo One put their undefeated season on the line against Stillman Valley Two. The game proved to be a lopsided affair as Polo brushed aside their opposition by a score of 15-2 in just four innings. Nicole Boelens’ pitching was just enough along with a solid defense behind her to limit Stillman to just two hits for the game and only two runs.

While Polo’s defense and pitching kept the visitors at bay, the offense of the home town ladies continued to be strong. Polo put the maximum of six runs on the board in the bottom of the first and the deal was sealed after an inning. Harper Clark drew a one out walk.

Nicole Boelens singled to send Clark to third. Abby Gorzny and Ally Simpson singled to score a pair of runs. Jasmine Badon was hit by a pitch to fill the bases.

Kayla Boelens singled in another pair of runs.

The Stillman pitcher was obviously shaken by the sudden turn of events so early in the game and proceeded to lose her control by issuing back to back walks to Peyton Knight and Breanne Cisketti to bring in two more runs as the inning ended under the six run rule on a 6-0 Polo lead.

Stillman picked up a run in the top of the second when a leadoff walk, a hit batsman

and a single produced a run to make the score 6-1.

Polo came back with three runs in the bottom of the second. Natalie McDuffy led off the inning with a base on ball. Marah Blake and Clark drew walks to fill the bases.

An infield out produced a run and then a single by Gorzny brought two more runners in to make the score 9-1 after two.

Polo would put the game away with another six spot in the bottom of the third.

Knight opened the inning with a walk. Autumn Gilbert also walked.

A put out put runners at second and third for Polo as McDuffy stepped to the plate. She walked to fill the bases. Marah Blake drove in a run on a fielder’s choice.

Then, Clark, Nicole Boelens, and Gorzny all singled to bring in three more runs.

Ally Simpson then topped off the festivities with a booming double to left for two more scores as the hosts bolted to a 15-1 lead.

Stillman would pick up a solo run in the top of the fourth but that was not enough as the game ended early under the ten run rule.

For the game, Polo collected nine hits with Abby Gorzny going three for three with singles. Boelens went the route to pick up the win.

With both Polo One and Polo Two winning, the stage was set for a possible meeting between the two teams in the finals.

Each team needed just one more win to make their trip to the finals to face each other.

In their only meeting, the first of the season, Polo One had easily defeated Polo Two but Polo Two had put together a fine season after their initial loss and looked ready to go the distance if they could get by Dixon One at Dixon on Wednesday, July 22, and Polo One could

get by another team from Stillman on the same evening here in Polo.

In Senior Division action July 21, Polo played host to Dixon Two. Following a rather close score in the early going, Polo would pull out a win with six runs in the bottom of the fifth to advance in the tourney with a 12-1 win under the ten run rule.

Polo took a 1-0 lead after an inning of play. Cassie Bushman drew a leadoff walk, stole second and later scored on a single by Emily Boelens.

Polo added another pair of runs in the second inning.

Ally Rhodes walked to open the inning.

Following a strikeout, Kayla Blum lined a shot to right center for a single to score Rhodes. With two down, a triple to deep left scored Blum as Polo took a 3-1 lead.

Polo kept the pressure on with three more runs in the bottom of the third. Zoie Sellers drew a leadoff walk.

Emily Boelens crashed a drive to deep left center for a triple to score Sellers.

A wild pitch allowed Boelens to score standing up. Lexi Cox then drew a walk and proceeded to go around the bases on three more pitches that were either passed balls or wild pitches.

By the time the inning had ended, Polo had posted three more runs on the board for a 6-0 lead.

Following a scoreless third, Polo struck for six runs in the bottom of the fourth.

Madison Boelens walked to open the inning.

Kayla Boelens followed with a single to put runners at the corners. Cassie Bushman drew a walk to fill the bases. An infield out, scored Boelens.

Zoie Sellers singled to score a run. Then, on a ball hit by Emily Boelens,

another run scored. An infield out put runners at second and third with two down.

Kaitlynn Marschang then singled as two more runs came home. Trinity Olmedo drew a walk and Ally Rhodes was hit by a pitch to fill the bases.

Madison Boelens walked to force in a run and a single

by Kayla Blum brought in another run as Polo posted six to take a 12-0 lead.

Dixon scored a solo run in the top of the fifth when a leadoff single and a walk and a double brought in their only run of the game as they fell under the 10-run rule.

For the night, Polo picked up six hits while Dixon had two. Cassie Bushman went the distance to pick up the win.

July 22, the Junior Division Tournament continued in Polo as Polo One hosted Stillman Valley Two. Stillman jumped off to a 2-0 lead on the strength of a leadoff error and a booming homerun in the top of the first.

Early on, Polo could not do anything right as their defense was shaky at best and only the steadiness of Nicole Boelens’ pitching kept in the game winnable and win Polo One did as a late game rally resulted in a come from behind 5-2 victory to advance to the finals.

Following Stillman’s initial charge, Boelens held the powerful Stillman offense in check with timely strikeouts and a wakening defense that began to play like a 13-0 team on the season.

Stillman would threaten but would never score again.

With the score standing at 2-0 visitors, Polo took the lead with a three spot in the bottom of the fourth.

Harper Clark led off the inning with a single. Nicole Boelens drew a walk to put

runners on first and second.

Abby Gorzny walked to fill the bases.

Then, Ally Simpson strode to the plate. She had not had a good night defensively to that point but she put all that behind her when she smacked a hard shot to right center to drive in two runs to tie the game.

Simpson would move to second on an infield out.

Kayla Boelens would then hit a sharp single to center to score Simpson as the Stillman defense had trouble getting the ball back to the infield as Polo took the lead for the first time at 3-2.

Stillman threatened to tie the game in the top of the fifth with a pair of singles but Boelens never rattled and got a putout and a strikeout to put that threat down.

Then, in the bottom of the inning, Polo added two more runs to move to a 5-2 lead.

Peyton Knight drew a walk to open the inning. A put out saw Knight move to second.

Harper Clark then lashed a single to left center to score Knight.

Following a strikeout, Abby Gorzny smacked a single to move Clark to third.

Ally Simpson came up again and promptly singled to right to score Clark and give Polo a 5-2 lead.

Stillman saw their leadoff hitter reach in the top of the sixth and final inning.

Following a strikeout, the runner on first, was erased on a 6-4-3 double play to end the inning and the game as Polo One moved to the championship game against Dixon One who defeated a shorthanded Polo Two team at Dixon the same evening by a score of 12-0.
