Polo farmer finds fawn in 12-foot hole in cornfield

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com A routine task held some big surprises for a Polo farmer over the weekend.

Phil Fossler, who is also a realtor, was mowing the grass in a waterway through a cornfield southwest of Polo Saturday afternoon when the front tire of his tractor lurched into what turned out to be a 12-foot hole.

“All of a sudden the tractor stopped,” Fossler said. “It threw me against the steering wheel. I was going slow probably only about two miles per hour — because I was up next to the corn.”

When he shut the tractor down and got off to survey the situation, he saw something brown at the bottom of the hole and assumed it was a field tile — until it moved.

“Then I saw it was a fawn,” Fossler said. “He was alive and healthy. He was running around down there, trying to get out.”

He called his wife and asked her to bring an end

loader from his nearby farm.

Then he noticed the hole was wider as it got deeper and decided to call Ed Dyer, of Polo, for a tow truck.

“I didn’t want an end loader anywhere around it,” he said.

Dyer soon arrived, took a look at the hole, started back to his truck — and totally disappeared.

Fossler said he had fallen into a second 12-foot hole.

Dyer told Fossler he had dislocated his shoulder and needed the ambulance.

Besides calling the ambulance, Fossler called Greg Wagner, who knew how to operate Dyer’s tow truck, and the Conservation Police.

Using equipment from Dyer’s truck, they hoisted him out of the hole and took him to the waiting ambulance for a trip to the hospital.

That done, they pulled the tractor out of the hole and rescued the rambunctious fawn using a lasso.

Conservation officer Steve Beltran said the fawn’s mother was spotted nearby, and the two were soon reunited.

In This Week’s Edition...

Dyer’s shoulder was put back in place at the hospital, and he is recuperating.

The mystery that remains is what caused the two holes.

“Right now there’s no explanation,” Fossler said.

“I’ve been cutting this waterway for 10 years and nothing like this has ever happened.”

The field, which Fossler recently sold, is farmed by David and Keith Poole.

Fossler said they told him they have not seen the holes there previously either.

Experts from the Ogle County Soil & Water Conservation Department were scheduled to take a look Tuesday morning.

Etnyre to give $100,000 for statue repairs

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The fundraising efforts for the Black Hawk statue’s repairs got significant boost last week when a local manufacturer announced its plans to make a large donation.

E.D. Etnyre & Co. will contribute $100,000 toward the cost of restoring the 107-yearold landmark that overlooks the Rock River from a high bluff at Lowden State Park, just east of Oregon.

“As two of the community’s oldest residents, both the Eternal Indian and E. D. Etnyre & Co. have called the community of Oregon home for over 100 years; without either the community would just not be the same,” said Robin Etnyre, Corporate Communication Specialist.

“For this reason, E. D. Etnyre & Co. is pleased to support the Oregon Together Black Hawk Team in the preservation of this historical landmark.”

Jan Stilson, chairman of the Black Hawk Restoration Team expressed her committee’s appreciation.

“Thank you very much for supporting us,” she said. “I think it’s wonderful. It shows the connection E.D. Etnyre has to the community of Oregon and to the Black Hawk statue.

They were present when it was constructed in 1910. They were very supportive then and are very supportive now. It sets an

Oregon man charged with sexual abuse of two children under 13

example for other businesses and corporations.”

Team members said last week that they need to raise approximately $300,000 as the private portion for a matching state grant. The total cost of the repairs is estimated at $600,000.

Created by sculptor Lorado Taft in December of 1910 and dedicated the following summer, the concrete statue needs the repairs due to the ravages of weather and time.

Taft called the statue the Eternal Indian and intended it to be a tribute to Native Americans.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, and on the state’s list of Most Endangered Historic Places in 2015.

Over the years, despite numerous repair efforts, parts of the statue have crumbled and fallen off. Winter weather has been especially devastating.

The Oregon Together: Black Hawk Restoration Team was formed several months ago to complete the ongoing restoration efforts begun more than a decade ago by the Friends of the Black Hawk Statue.

An account for donations has been set up at the Stillman Bank, and checks should be Elizabeth George, right, and Merlin Hagemann give made out to Oregon Together: donations from recent fundraisers held at their businesses Black Hawk Restoration.

Icy treats provide 4th of July relief

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com A Mt. Morris woman and her family provided cool relief from the sweltering heat for anyone participating in the July 4 Lois Nelson Memorial Walk and Run. Brenda Baal along with her husband, daughter, sister, and nieces and nephews handed out ice pops to all takers as they walked or jogged past her house on East Center Street on the last leg of the four-mile route.

“I was hoping you would be here,” one walker called out to Baal as she approached her

house.

“I need one — I’ll take a green one,” exclaimed a jogger, slowing her pace enough to choose her favorite from a rainbow of flavors.

The cool treats were especially welcome with the temperature approaching 90 and the humidity at 70 percent.

Baal said she began handing out ice pops about five years ago after her hairdresser Joann Canfield suggested it.

“One year after the 4th Joann said ‘hey I walked by your house the other day. You should pass out Popsicles like they do in Rockford.’ I thought it was a good idea and we’ve been doing it ever since,” Baal

said.

“It’s fun. People love it. It’s a good way to cool them off,” she said. “It’s a good way to meet people. As long as we live here we’re going to keep doing it.”

Baal prepared the ice pops by cutting off the tops of the plastic packages while her daughter Emily Baal nephew Kenny Kalnins stood next to the street handing them out to the passing walkers and runners with the help of grandnieces Abigail and Caroline Kalnins, ages 8 and 3.

Her husband Chuck made sure the cooler stayed well supplied with ice pops.

The memorial walk is held

annually in memory of the late Lois Nelson. It follows the four-mile route she walked every day.

Proceeds benefit Special Olympics and Mt. Morris’ Let Freedom Ring festival.

An Oregon man has been accused of sexually abusing two children under the age of 13.

Brent T. Bauer, 49, was arrested July 5 by Ogle County Sheriff ’s Detectives on two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, both Class 2 felonies.

The arrest stems from an investigation that began in June in which Bauer is accused of having sexual contact with the two children in rural Forreston.

At a July 6 appearance in Ogle County Court,

Brent T. Bauer

Associate Circuit Judge John Redington released Bauer on a $3,000 recognizance bond and ordered him to have no contact with the victims.

He was scheduled for arraignment on July 11.

Sunset Strip set to rock Forreston The popular hairband Sunset Strip will perform in downtown Forreston on Saturday, July 21 at the downtown beer garden.

The beer garden opens at 6 p.m. and the performance starts at 9 p.m. There is a $5 cover charge and only adults 21 and older will be allowed entrance to the beer garden.

Hailing from Rockford, Sunset Strip is the hottest, fourtime Rockford Area Music

Hometown Days was originally scheduled for the weekend of July 20-22; but was later changed to Sauerkraut Days for the weekend of Aug. 3-5.

The planning committee decided to keep Sunset Strip and the beer garden on the original date.

Church corn boil held on July 28 Grace Valley Christian Reformed Church will host its 13th annual corn boil on Saturday, July 28 from 5 to 7 p.m. The church is located at 8210 E. Edwardsville Rd., northeast of German Valley.

Gold medalist receives champion’s escort back home

By Zach Arbogast zarbogast@oglecounty news.com A Polo man left for the Special Olympics as a competitor and came home as a champion.

You may have noticed a pack of emergency response vehicles coming down Division Avenue last Saturday, lights flashing and sirens blaring, but there was no emergency; it was an entourage celebrating Scot DeWall, 47, of Polo - a Special Olympics gold medalist.

DeWall left for Seattle, Washington, on June 29 to compete in the 2018 Special Olympics USA games, in the bocce event, where he took first place in the singles division.

DeWall also competed in the Unified Team division, where Illinois took third, and Unified Doubles, where he and partner John Fayhee took fifth.

Was DeWall nervous, traveling so far to compete?

“No, I was focused,” he said.

“I was too busy focusing on where to throw, and where to hit.

It felt amazing when I threw that game-winning shot.”

DeWall’s cousin, Kris Bardell, gave him a shoutout on Facebook, and when Polo Firefighter and Public Education Officer Ken Yingling saw it, the two collaborated a celebration together.

DeWall was scheduled to arrive back in Illinois on July 7 — and when he reached the intersection of Lowell Park Road and Pines Road, fire and police vehicles were waiting to escort him into the downtown area, where a crowd had gathered to welcome him home.

“It’s always fun to do something special when someone does something amazing like that,” said Yingling.

DeWall was blown away by the escort, and even more shocked at the crowd that awaited him on Mason Street.

“I was not expecting this, this is awesome,” said DeWall, after the gathering. “I am so appreciative of Polo. I’m always going to remember this as a great day, and a great night.”

DeWall’s parents, Elaine Guyer and Jim DeWall, were on later flights, and unable to join him for the escort.

A crowd awaited DeWall along the first block of Mason Street. Photo by Zach Arbogast

Josh Nelson attended CASE training institute Josh Nelson, agriscience educator at Oregon High School, recently attended a nine-day professional development institute at Beech Grove High School to teach the Food Science and Safety Curriculum for Agricultural Science Education (CASE) course.

CASE is an instructional system that is changing the culture of agriculture programs in the United States through intense teacher professional development; inquiry-based, student-focused lessons; assessment; and certification.

CASE equips teachers to elevate student experiences in the agriculture classroom, and prepares students for success in college and careers emphasizing science,

technology, engineering, and math.

During the CASE Institute, Nelson spent 80 hours working through nearly every lesson in the year-long curriculum and learning how to deliver lessons in an inquiry-based way that will shift focus in the classroom from teacher-led to student-directed learning.

“Students will investigate, experiment, and learn about the science and safety surrounding food within our local community. I look forward to providing to Oregon High School students inquiry based learning by critical thinking, problem solving through real life context.” said Nelson.

Jamboree stage to welcome Webb Wilder on July 20 Anderlik, Otto and Church to play July 13 Old school, real deal Roots Rocker Webb Wilder makes his Mt. Morris debut at the Jamboree with his band, the Beatnecks, on Friday, July 20 for a free two hour concert starting at 7 p.m. at the Reckmeyer Band Shell.

“Long before there were Kings of Leon, Keys of Black, or Whites of Jack in Music City there was a riddle spewing prophet of roots rock and roll,” said event organizer Larry Ubben. “A bluesy blast of baritone bombast, equally versed in two glorious worlds, rock and roll. He is a force on tour and a tour de force.”

A native of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and a member of the Mississippi Music Hall of Fame, Wilder crafted

his signature brand of “Mid-Atlantic” (British and American) rock and roll, mixed with country, blues, and soul.

In wonderfully superb timing, the band’s 1986 debut album, “It Came from Nashville,” was recently named one of the 50 Best Southern Rock Albums of AllTime by Paste Magazine.

“Webb Wilder is an evangelist for real rock ‘n’ roll,” Ubben said. “As a singer, guitarist, bandleader, film actor, songwriter and humorist, he may be roots-rock’s only true Renaissance man. His latest album, “Powerful Stuff!” will no doubt find favor with Webb’s devoted legion of fans, but its affecting songs and masterful performances are sure to bring many newcomers into the fold.”

His personality led him to become one of America’s first Satellite DJs on XM Radio.

He’s now the host of the

Americana Countdown show on WMOT radio in Nashville.

Mt. Morris Moose Lodge 1551 will provide concessions for the evening starting at 6 p.m.

Some of the items served include cheeseburgers and pulled pork, grilled Italian sausages, hand dipped corn dogs, onion rings, french fries, and cheese fries.

In the event of rain, the whole

show is moved to the Pinecrest Grove Community Center, located eight blocks south of Ill. 64 on McKendrie Avenue at 500 Evergreen Drive.

July 13 Performance This week’s Jamboree performance will be Anderlik, Otto and Church on Friday, July 13 at 7 p.m. at the band shell.

“Those who were fortunate

enough to see them open last year’s Jam Fest in September, will fondly remember how great these guys are,” Ubben said.

Three of the top bluegrass musicians in the Chicago area, Rob Anderlik, Pat Otto, and Mike Church first met at late night jam session and felt a deep musical connection from the moment they played together.

Even better, they discovered they shared a wide range of musical interests, ranging from southern and classic rock, blues, swing, jazz standards, cinematic instrumentals, folk music and, of course, bluegrass.

“They formed a trio in 2015

and quickly built a reputation as one of the most versatile acoustic bands in the Midwest,” Ubben said.

Concessions for the evening, starting at 6 p.m., will be provided by the Mt. Morris Public Library, who will be serving Italian sausage, all beef hot dogs, chips, pop, water, homemade apple dumplings, and ice cream.

The event is underwritten

by Thrivent Financial, with all proceeds going to support the library.

In the event of rain, the whole show is moved to the Mt. Morris Moose Family Center, 101 Moose Drive, starting at the same times.

Heat and rain don’t stop Mt. Morris festival fun

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The 4th of July shows in Mt. Morris went off as planned last Wednesday despite Mother Nature’s whimsy.

Neither the participants nor the attendees at the Let Freedom Ring Patriotic Program let the stifling 90 degrees slow them down, although the crowd completely abandoned the benches in front of the band shell on the downtown campus in favor of lawn chairs in the shade.

That evening, the fireworks crowd simply opened their umbrellas when a rainstorm sidled through mid-show.

The band headed the LFR Grand Parade as its marshals.

Speaker Sarah Gray, a U.S. Air Force flight nurse during the Vietnam War, recounted the military service of the band.

“The purpose of a military band is to entertain the troops,” she said.

The Mt. Morris News Band formed by H.G. Kable in 1897 was predated by a brass band organized in 1845.

The News Band was later called the Kable Brothers Company Band, and that became the Regimental Band of the 129th Infantry of the Illinois National Guard in 1923.

The 129th band was inducted into the military service in 1941 and sent to Camp Forrest in Tennessee for training.

The band served in the Fiji Islands, New Hebrides, and the Philippines.

“Members were awarded Combat Infantry Badges for their war time services, and soon returned home to a grateful Mt. Morris,” Gray said.

“We are very pleased to salute them today and also honor and thank the Kable Band for its 122 years of service providing wonderful musical concerts for our residents and visitors in Mt. Morris.”

After the band’s traditional patriotic concert that evening on the field at D.L. Rahn Junior High, the weather provided its own fireworks as a storm passed a few miles south of town.

The celebratory fireworks were nicely underway when another storm brought a slow rain that sent a few viewers running for cover, although most opted to tough it out until the grand finale.

Vacation Bible School is July 16-20 Open Bible Church, 302 S. Franklin Ave., Polo, will host Vacation Bible School with “Uncle Herman” for children entering grades 1-6.

He will be returning with evangelist Tim Marsh on Monday, July 16 through Friday, July 20 from 10 a.m.

Marsh is a Christian

ventriloquist and accomplished musician who lives in Michigan. He is affiliated with Independent Children’s Bible Mission.

Schneiderman wins award at University of Dubuque A Forreston High School graduate has been named to the 2018 American Baseball Coaches Association/Rawlings NCAA Div. III All-Region team.

Pitcher Nathan Schneiderman (LHP, L/L, 6-5, 220, Jr., German Valley was one of two University of Dubuque players named to teams which are voted on by members of the American Baseball Coaches Association.

The process is led by the ABCA NCAA Div. III AllAmerica Committee.

Schneiderman was named to the third team and University of Dubuque’s Chase Kueter (RHP, R/R, 6-2, 185, Jr.) from Bellevue, Iowa was named to the second team.

The Spartans pitching staff dominated opposing batters all season long, setting staff records for ERA (3.58) and strikeouts (292).

Each of the weekend starters posted a 3.19 ERA or better, with two of the three posting a sub 3.00 ERA. Kueter led all UD pitchers with a 2.68 ERA and school records of innings pitched at 94.0 and strikeouts with 78.

Schneiderman continued to be brilliant out of the bullpen and now has the UD career saves record of 13 after completing his junior season.

The ABCA All-America team was first recognized in 1949 and now includes nine divisions: NCAA Divisions I, II and III, NAIA, NJCAA Divisions I, II and III, Pacific Association Division, and high school.

The Chair of the ABCA NCAA Div. III All-America & Coach of the Year Committee is Matt LaBranche of Eastern Connecticut State.

Also on the committee are Paul Hesse (University of Mt.

Union), Corey Paluga (Elmira College), Dean Glus (The College of New Jersey), Ray Hedrick (Randolph-Macon College), Luke Johnson (North Park University), Kevin Tomasiewicz (University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh) and Scott Winterburn (University of La Verne).

The ABCA, founded in 1945, is the primary professional organization for baseball coaches at the amateur level. Its over 9,600 members represent all 50 states and 25 countries.

Since its initial meeting of 27 college baseball coaches in June 1945, Association membership has broadened to include eight divisions: NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA, NJCAA, Pacific Association Division, High School and Youth. The 75th annual ABCA Convention will be held Jan. 3-6, 2019 in Dallas, Texas.

Polo softball defeats Dixon 15-12 in game of walks

Breanna Cisketti takes off for first after a hit against Byron Monday evening. Photo by Zach Arbogast.

By Larry Loomis Polo One of the Junior Division hosted Dixon here July 2 and came away with a close 15-12 victory in four innings.

This game was mostly walks as each team was served up a variety of pitches that were pretty much unhittable. Dixon was issued 22 base on balls while Polo picked up a dozen free passes.

Dixon did all their scoring

in the first two innings as they scored six runs in the first and repeated the feat with six more runs in the second. All of those runs came from walks and one single.

After trailing 6-0 from the get go, Polo put a five spot on the board in the bottom of the first. Cheyenna Wilkens led off the inning with a single.

A pair of infield outs, a hit batsman, an error, three walks and a booming double by Katelyn Rockwood saw Polo

get back in the game with five runs to close to 6-5 after an inning of play.

After surrendering six runs in the Dixon half of the first, Dixon came back with another six in the top of the second.

Following a leadoff single

by Kennedy Haenitsch, nine walks in a row brought in six more runs without benefit of a hit as Dixon once again went up by a 12-5 margin.

Polo still trailed 12-5 heading into the bottom of the third when Dixon’s pitching collapsed and allowed Polo to score six runs. Again the base on ball was the key player as Polo was issued six of them.

Along with singles by Ali Danekas and Taylor Tornow Polo trailed only by a run at 1211 after three innings of play.

In the bottom of the fourth after holding Dixon scoreless in the top of the inning, the hometown ladies pushed four runs across.

Adrianna Tobin led off the inning with a single and moved to third on a single by Gabby Oliver. Karlea Frey then smacked a drive to deep left-center for an inside the park homerun to see Polo take a 14-12 lead.

The fun was not over yet, as Kaiyle Horton drew a walk and moved to third on a single by Tornow. Katelyn Rockwood then completed the scoring with a single to score Horton giving Polo a 15-12 lead.

Because so much time had been consumed by with so many walks issued by both teams, time expired as Polo took the victory.

For the game, Polo had eight hits to just one hit for the guests. Polo was led in hitting

by Taylor Tornow with a pair of singles and Karlea Frey’s homerun.

In game two, Polo One of the Minor Division hosted Forreston and came away with a 13-6 decision.

Polo jumped off to a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the first.

With one down, Avalyn Henry singled. Addision Quinlan singled to send Henry to third.

Leah Tobin kept things going with a single to score Henry.

Camryn Jones crashed a double up the middle to score a pair of runs. Sophie Watts reached third on a three base error that scored Jones.

Watts came home as Grace Maitke singled to score the fifth and final run of the inning.

Polo picked up a solo run in the second to go up 6-0 after two.

The third inning was all Polo as they scored another five runs. Henry reached on a one out error. Quinlan singled to send Henry to third.

Leah Tobin then drilled a long shot to left field for an inside the park homerun to give Polo a 9-0 lead.

Sophie Watts singled again

and scored on a single by Grace Maitke. Ellie Merrell singled to put runners at the corners and with two down, Ava McFalls singled to complete the scoring as Polo took an 11-0 lead.

Polo added two more runs in the bottom of the fourth after Forreston did manage a run in the top of the inning. After four complete innings, Polo had a comfortable 13-1 lead.

Forreston staged a mini rally in the fifth when they plated five runs on four singles and a double to close to 13-6 as time expired. For the game, Polo had sixteen hits while the visitors managed just six hits.

Polo’s offense was led by Addisyn Quinlan and Leah Tobin who each had three hits including Tobin’s dinger.

July 3, Polo One hosted Byron in Junior Division action and came away with an easy 16-4 victory. Polo jumped off to a 6-0 lead after an inning and never looked back.

Cheyenna Wilkens led off the first with a single.

Following a strikeout, Katelyn Rockwood singled up the middle to send Wilkens to third. Adrianna Tobin, singled to score Wilkens. With two away, Karlea Frey singled to score Tobin. Kailye Horton drew a walk to put two runners on.

Taylor Turnow singled to score to score run number five.

Then, walks to Camryn Cox and Riley Wiggins forced in the sixth and final run of the inning to give Polo an early 6-0 lead.

Polo would go on to score four in the second and five more in the third and added a solo run in the fourth to account for sixteen runs to win going away. Dixon had a three run mini rally in the third as the game ended early after four innings under the time limit rule.

For the night, Polo collected five hits while receiving a whopping twenty walks. The guests managed just one hit.

Gabby Oliver had the longest drive of the evening for Polo when she smashed triple to left in the third inning.

Polo Two of the Junior Division hosted Oregon One in the nightcap. Polo Two has struggled for much of the season accounting for just one victory against five losses.

The team that came to the field July 3, was a completely different team as their pitching and defense were superb with Polo managing an impressive 18-8 win in just four innings.

Polo had a shaky start as their pitching was not up to the task and issued six walks and hit a batter in the inning which led to five easy runs.

However, Allissa Marschang came in in relief in the sixth and shut the door on Oregon’s offense to get Polo out of the inning and along with some

excellent defense displayed throughout the game, the visitors would managed just three more runs the entire game.

Polo picked up two runs to close to 5-2 after an inning of play. With one down, Kylie Cisketti walked. Camyrn Jones singled to send Cisketti to third.

Cisketti then scored on an infield out as Jones moved to third. A single by a Courtney Davis completed the scoring as Jones scored. Polo was threatening to score more as Mazy Queckboener doubled but got no further than second.

Polo scored six big runs in the bottom of the second to cop an 8-2 lead after two. Six base on balls and a hit batsman along with singles by April Calderon and Ella McFalls accounted for the scoring.

Polo never looked back after their big first and added ten more runs in the last two innings before the game ended under the time limit and ten run rule.

In addition to Polo’s hitting, their defense sparkled. Polo turned a double play in the second inning to end a possible rally. Emmalee Gilbert made an across the diamond throw to first baseman Alayna Young in the fourth.

The throw was right on the button as another potential Oregon rally was thwarted.

Good pitching by Allissa Marschang and stellar defense made all the difference in the impressive Polo victory.

Polo collected five hits on the night while Oregon had none. Polo’s offense was led

by Marschang who had two of Polo’s five hits.

July 5, Polo One of the Minor Girls’ Division hosted a team from Byron. Polo took a 2-0 lead after one and went on to post an 8-0 win. Ava McFalls led off the first with a single.

Following two strikeouts, Grace Maitke singled to score McFalls. A double from Camyrun Jones scored Maitke and Polo was off and running with an early 2-0 lead.

Polo picked up a single run in the second and added two in the third. Sophie Watts singled to open the third. Ellie Merrell singled to send Watts to third.

A two out single by Leah Tobin scored Merrell as Polo took a 5-0 lead. Polo would add three runs in the fourth and final inning to take the win.

Offensively, Polo collected eleven hits on the evening with Ava McFalls, Leah Tobin, Avalyn Henry and Addison Quinlan each collecting two hits. For Byron, they only managed a paltry two hits.

July 6, Polo Two hosted Polo One in Minor Division play.

Polo One scored three runs in the top of the first and was never headed enroute to an 11-3 win.

Polo One’s runs came on

singles by Samantha Grey and Camryn Jones along with an error committed on a ball hit by Ellie Merrell that was bobbled allowing Gray and Merrell to score. Jones scored on a single by Leah Tobin.

Polo Two quickly responded with a pair of runs in the bottom of the inning. Makayla Cisketti was hit by a pitch to open the inning for Polo Two. She stole second and third and scored on a single by Ariel Foster.

Foster would steal second and third and come into to score on a single by Isabella Witkowski. After an inning of play, Polo Two only trailed by one at 3-2.

Polo One put the game away with four runs in the top of the second. Grace Maitke was hit by a pitch to open the inning.

Sophie Watts doubled to score Maitke. Several stolen bases later and a single by Avalynn Henry scored three runs as Polo One bolted to a 7-2 lead midway through two.

Polo Two got their last run in the bottom of the second as Lydia Kelly opened the inning with a double and score on a stolen base and an infield out.

Polo Two only had one runner reach base the rest of the game.

Polo One added four more runs in the top of the third as the game ended under the time limit rule. For the game, Polo One collected nine hits with Leah Tobin and Avalynn Henry each having two hits. Polo Two had just two hits for the evening.

Saturday afternoon Polo One hosted a team from Byron in Minor League play. Polo scored three in their half of the first and never looked back as they took a relatively easy 12-3 win.

Polo led 7-0 going into the bottom of the fourth when they had their biggest inning of the day. Avalyn Henry led off with a long double to left. Sophie Watts singled to score Henry.

Watts stole second and third and came into score on a single

by Camyrn Jones. Leah Tobin then smashed a long triple to the fence in left to score Jones.

Hard work and hot weather can lead to heat stroke Know the symptoms and when to stop and cool down Landscaping and gardening is great physical exercise and studies show it’s good for emotional well-being, but University of Illinois Extension educator Chris Enroth says those working outside must remain aware of the dangers associated with heat stress on our bodies.

“When I was working as a landscaper, we had to sod a large

backyard during a day when the temperature was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit”, Enroth said. “We were hustling to get the sod down quickly so it wouldn’t burn up in the hot sun.

“About midway through the day, I started feeling nauseated, dizzy, and I stopped sweating. I was disoriented and could no longer push my wheelbarrow. That’s when I knew I was suffering from severe heat exhaustion, perhaps even heat stroke.”

Hard work and warm weather can lead to dangerous health conditions.

As muscles work, they generate heat.

The warmer the air temperature is, the harder our body has to work to stay at a normal temperature.

“When our bodies can’t keep up, we experience heat exhaustion, and in more severe cases, heat stroke,” Enroth said.

Heat exhaustion can take place over several days of working outside without proper rehydration.

Heat exhaustion symptoms: • Moist, clammy skin • Weakness and muscle cramps • Headache; dizziness, nausea, or vomiting

• Fainting Treat victims of heat exhaustion by getting them to a cool place with good air movement, get them to lie down, and elevate their legs.

Apply cold packs or wet towels while the victim drinks cold water.

If symptoms do not improve after 30 minutes, seek medical attention.

Heat stroke is the most severe heatrelated illness. Side effects can be as dangerous as organ failure, coma, or death.

Symptoms of heat stroke:

• High body temperature • Hot, dry skin (not sweaty); red, flushed appearance • Rapid pulse and difficulty breathing • Confusion, hallucinations, or irrational behavior • Agitation, convulsions, or seizure If you suspect someone is having a heat stroke, dial 911 immediately.

“From my experience, most people suffering from heat stroke may not be aware of their condition until it’s too late,” Enroth said.

Avoid heat-related illness while working outside From B3 While waiting for emergency personnel, administer first aid to heat stroke victims by moving them to a cool place and removing excessive clothing.

Allow the victim to rest while keeping their head and shoulders slightly elevated.

Use any means to cool the victim by applying ice packs to the back of the neck, armpits, and groin area or putting them in a cool shower or bath.

You will need to monitor their body temperature as the victim cools, as they can snap into hypothermia.

Once their body temperature

reaches 102 degrees Fahrenheit, remove the icepacks, wet towels, or get them out of the bath/shower.

Be vigilant and watch for possible seizures.

“It doesn’t have to be 100 degrees outside for someone to get heat stressed,” Enroth said.

“As winter warms to spring

and then summer, our bodies are not adapted to tolerate the heat.”

Enroth said it takes one to two weeks to build up a tolerance for working in the heat. Landscapers and gardeners need to transition their bodies by initially scheduling shorter periods of

work outside, he said.

“Hydrate before the work begins,” Enroth recommends.

“Take 15-minute breaks every two hours when working outside on a hot day. Consider scheduling the most strenuous activities during the morning or evening, and avoid working during the hottest time of

the day. Alcohol and drugs can increase the severity of heat stress, and so can some medications.

“Sports drinks are good to have on hand, but the best thing to drink before, during, and after a hot work day is water,” Enroth said.
