House damaged by lightning strike

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com A home in Polo sustained minor damage July 20 after it was struck by lightning during a thunderstorm.

Polo Fire Chief Tony Karrow said the smoke and heat damage was estimated

at $10,000 to the home of Michael Welch and his mother Mary Welch, 306 N. Congress Ave. He said most of the damage was confined to an upstairs bedroom, especially on the wall around an electrical outlet.

No one was injured in the fire, which

was reported about 1:30 p.m.

“We called the Red Cross because the occupants were displaced,” Karrow said.

The Mt. Morris, Milledgeville, Dixon Rural, and Dixon City Fire Departments, and Advance Ambulance, Dixon, assisted at the scene.

New banners throughout downtown Oregon will recognize the rich history of the community.

Eagles Nest Art Galley (ENAG) members Jan Harvey, Dixon, and Cindy Winterfield, Lost Lake, painted the artwork that was selected for the new banners.

Harvey, a former Polo resident, did a rendition of Black Hawk Statue, and Winterfield did an eagle.

The statue is one of the first things visitors to the area think of, and eagles along the river are also linked with the area.

“These new banners reinforce the arts,” said Oregon Mayor Ken Williams.

“This is an artistic community.

The banners turned out well.”

Each artist received $250 for having their designs selected for the new city banners.

The banners will go up on

the street poles this summer.

Heading one direction through town the Black Hawk image will be visible and heading the other direction will be the eagle.

The two artists were glad their artwork would hang together.

“We paint together and take art trips together,” said Winterfield. “I am thrilled to have our art back to back.”

“I love it,” said Harvey.

“This is so fun. We are really good friends.”

The two learned about the request for art on new banners and decided to enter.

When they learned that both were selected as cowinners they were happy for each other.

“We are thrilled for each other when our art is shown,” said Winterfield. “This is good for the Eagles Nest.”

This was not the first time an ENAG member was selected to have their designs used for a city project.

The late Harry Nurmet designed the city flag.

Project PLAY will be demolished

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Oregon school officials have decided it’s time to replace playground equipment used by youngsters in the school district for almost three decades.

Superintendent Tom Mahoney said July 22 that the castles, twisting

walkways, and several slides of Project PLAY (Play Leads to Active Youth), located just outside Oregon Elementary School, will soon be coming down.

“We’ve had an increase in kids getting injuries on Project PLAY, mostly splinters,” he said. “There’s no way to maintain it and guarantee no injuries.”

In the interest of student safety, the demolition will

happen before school starts next month, Mahoney said.

The all-wood construction of the unique playground, built by volunteers in 1989, is its downfall, he said.

“Twenty-six years is a long time for something that’s all wood even if it gets treated,” Mahoney said.

Portions of the playground were removed a few years ago and replaced.

Because the playground

gets a lot of use in summer, signs have been put up warning the public about the potential for splinters.

Project PLAY was the brainchild of retired teacher Nancy Ryder, Oregon, who had seen a similar Robert Leathers playground in her hometown and immediately believed Oregon should Artists Jan Harvey, left, and Cinde Winterfield, right, were have one. presented with a Welcome to Oregon banner by Oregon Turn to A2 Mayor Ken Williams Monday afternoon.

On July 18, 2016, the Polo City Council amended ordinance 71.102 Use of Skateboards.

The ordinance previously prohibited the use of bicycles only in the business district.

Due to complaints of skateboard use creating a safety concern in the business district the city council added skateboards and other prohibited devices to the ordinance.

Now skateboards are prohibited from being used on the sidewalks in the four block area of the business district.

This includes the sidewalks on two blocks of Franklin Avenue between Colden Street and Locust Street as well as the sidewalks on two blocks of Mason Street

Sheriff’s Arrests, B3 Social News, A4 Sports, A10, B2 State’s Attorney, B4

between Division Avenue and Green Avenue.

This is considered the “business district.”

Persons may ride their skateboards on any other public sidewalks in the City of Polo.

In addition to these restrictions, persons are prohibited from being upon the same devices on any roadway except while crossing a street on a crosswalk and except on streets set aside as play streets when authorized by traffic authority consisting of the Chief of Police and Superintendent of Streets and Sidewalks.

Anyone having any questions about the amended ordinance may call the city hall at 815-946-3514 or the Polo Police Department at 815-946-3412.

Project removal From A1 She and Deb Wuebben were co-chairmen of a committee to get the project off the ground and raise the needed $45,000.

“The idea was to give the children a creative play area — anything that leads to imagination,” Ryder said.

On the other hand, Ryder said she can understand the decision to remove it.

“I’m not surprised that they would want to take it out because it’s high maintenance,” she said.

Ryder said the Leathers company representatives, who designed the playground after getting input from the community, helped with every aspect.

“They told us everything we needed and how to go about it,” Ryder said. “We ordered special pine from Georgia.

They [Leathers] were very specific.”

After months of fundraising, including a Pennies for the Playground drive at the elementary school, hundreds of volunteers converged on the school grounds on Oct. 11-15, 1989 for a five-day build to put it all together.

“We had so many people volunteers who were good at so many things,” Ryder

said. “We had electricians, carpenters, ministers. It was really neat.”

“There was a diversity of ages of the people who helped,” said retired teacher Marilyn Berg, a member of the Project PLAY committee. “We had a nursery for the children of the people building, and food was brought in. The whole community came together for it.”

Mahoney said he appreciates what it took to build the playground.

“This was a communitywide effort,” he said. “We want to show appreciation to everyone who helped build it, maybe with a decommissioning before we demolish it.”

Two playground equipment manufacturers will be consulted about the design of the replacement. No cost estimate is available as yet.

He wants input from the community about what they want to proceed with replacing Project PLAY. Students will also be asked what they want for new playground equipment.

Community members with ideas are asked to contact Mahoney at the school district office, 206 S. 10th St., Oregon or call 815-732-5300.

Project PLAY has changed since in was built in 1989. Above, a photo from October, 1989 shows the original playground that hundreds of volunteers built during a five-day construction phase. Workers applied their skills to different areas of the playground under the supervision of a construction foreman. At left, The Oregon School District has posted signs at Project Play last week that say - Caution: Play at own risk. You may get splinters. Parts of the old playground including the tire walk/ crawl were previously removed.

Polo is fortunate to have the history of historic homes

By Betty Obendorf Curator Polo Historical Society We have been busy focusing on the homes of Zenas Aplington and Dr. William Burns, and we are most fortunate to have those historic buildings.

Especially since they are some of the first homes in Polo.

How they are handled on the inside could very well change in the next 50 or 75 years. That will depend on the ones who come after us and their interest in history.

We should never lose sight of the people who built them and how they shaped Polo.

If the Illinois Central Railroad would not have been allowed to come through this area, there would not have been a Polo.

Buffalo Grove could very well have faded away into the sunset. But that is not what happened.

Zenas Aplington brought the railroad through and the rest is history.

Sen. Aplington is the

reason Abraham Lincoln visited Polo. It is great to have that connection for us in our community.

Who knows where Aplington would have gone in the State of Illinois if he had not been killed in the Civil War. We can only guess.

Zenas Aplington started Polo out and others picked up where he left off. One of those was Dr. William Burns.

We have written very little about him and his striving for Polo.

He immediately endeared himself to the people with his intense devotion to his patients.

I wondered for a while where he saw patients in his home.

Then I realized he probably went to the people at all times of the day or night.

I remember Dr. McDaniel calling on some of our sick kids at home and now that just does not happen.

We dial 911 and our paramedics are there in no time or we take them ourselves for medical service.

After Dr. Burns got his

practice going he tackled the community as soon as he came into Polo. First he became mayor of Polo in 1865 and 1866.

Then Dr. Burns became involved in our educational system and pushed for the building of a new school. It was to be quite a school and the first one for the entire town.

Henry Boss in 1859 had written about the quarry west of Polo with the first rate blue limestone that was owned by George Cooper.

It was this unusual stone that was used for the new school.

Dr. Burns put several thousand dollars of his own money into this outstanding structure built in 1867.

Correction

An article in last week’s edition incorrectly identified Nicholas Head as being an employee of Sinnissippi Centers. Head is a member of the Ogle County Mental Health “708” Board, which is appointed by the Ogle County Board.

most prominent, historic character.

The 1909 History of Ogle County had this to say about Dr. Burns: “In every community, great or small, there are found men who, by reason of super abilities and more industrious effort, have risen above their fellows in public, business or professional life, and such a man was the late William Wallace Burns, M.D.” Remember there is no meeting of Polo Historical Society in August.

in 1868 at the same time he was building his new home three blocks away.

He was a member of the school board for 26 years and president of it for 15. He went on to be mayor again in 1872, 1873, and 1875.

He also had a small farm of 160 acres according to the Portrait and Biographical Album of 1886.

He raised shorthorn cattle.

His farm was supposedly at the edge of Polo and partly in the city limits.

People were not happy with the spending of $28,000 even though Dr. Burns had some of his own money into this project.

For a while there was much bitterness but it did not take long for the community to realize this fine building was just what Polo needed.

The top-notch school building brought in a better class of people and our schools from then on ranked at the top.

I also had the honor of sharing the children’s message with Olivia and Isaiah Winters.

Our speaker for the morning was Shawn McConnaughay.

Shawn and his wife, Jen, were welcomed guests at our church. We enjoyed Shawn’s message and getting to visit with him and Jen. On Tuesday evening, my P.E.O. sister, Gina Cole joined me for our walking club night.

However, on Thursday night, we decided that we didn’t need to brave the hot temperatures and humidity.

We are looking forward to getting back together this week.

On Saturday morning, my good friend, Melissa

Kwak and her daughter, Alyssa, met me in Dixon for breakfast.

The Kwak family moved to Polo in 2003. Melissa and I became good friends when our sons were in the same class in kindergarten.

Soon, we were both volunteering for CPO and Cub Scouts. In 2008, they moved to the West Coast, but we have stayed in touch over the years. We had a delicious meal before coming back to my house for a nice long visit.

This afternoon, Clint decided to cut his hair. After growing it out for almost two years and achieving his goal of having a “man bun,” he donated his long locks for wigs for cancer patients.

I know this was a big decision for Clint but he likes the fact that it is much cooler in summer.

Clint is getting near the end of the camping season and soon will be looking for a new job as he prepares for his next step.

It’s a strange feeling knowing that we won’t be purchasing school supplies and working around football practices and games.

Over the past few days we have experienced a few strong storms. One of my Facebook friends captured some amazing pictures of the lightning and beautiful skies.

We live in an amazing world, a world that could have only been created by God. When we find ourselves

in a summer storm, we seek shelter. We head to our basements and huddle together.

We pray. When we find ourselves in a storm in our own life, we want to seek shelter. We can find that shelter when we seek God. In fact, we don’t even need to wait for a storm. He is always there for us.

He helps us celebrate the blessings that surround us. He is with us when we are hurt. He is our comfort when we are discouraged.

We can turn to God. We only need to follow the example of His son, Jesus.

Following the example of prayer, following the

example of love are the ways we should learn from Jesus.

We can do this by reading our Bibles, spending time in prayer, and surrounding ourselves with a church family.

Our church family in Pine Creek is ready to welcome you. We invite you to join us in worship. We invite you to join us in a time of praise.

We invite you to join us in prayer and let us pray for you. We invite you to share in the love of a family.

I hope to see you next week in our church or in one of our local churches. Now, more than ever, we need the example of Jesus.

Fundraising effort brings in $1,000 Serenity Hospice and Home was recently given $1,000 from gofundme.com.  This large international fundraising website was a part of Serenity’s 100 Miles for Hospice walk on the Pacific Crest Trail by Jim Cole from Polo.  “Mr. Cole was going to walk the trail with his sons and wanted to turn it into a fundraiser for Serenity,� said Angie Theisen, Community Relations Manager for Serenity. “He had many family and friends who did not live in

the area so it made sense to set up a gofundme account so that they could donate online. We are so glad that we did.�

The corporation collects money from contributors and deposits the money, minus five percent, into the campaign’s bank account.

One day the chief financial officer (CFO) of Serenity noticed a new $1,000 donation. “I was very surprised to see this large deposit in our account one day,� said Kathy Groenhagen, CFO of Serenity. “Especially since Mr. Cole’s

pledge drive was nearing its end.�

That same day, Theisen received an email from gofundme stating that the 100 Miles for Hospice campaign had touched them and their employees had chosen to donate $1,000 to the campaign. “We were all shocked,�

Theisen said. “We certainly were not expecting such a generous donation from such a large company. Most people have been surprised to hear that such a large corporation actually gave back to our small

campaign.�

Gofundme is a San Diego company which began in 2010.

It allows people trying to raise money to tell their story and collects online contributions.

Gofundme takes five percent of each donation. Â It is the largest website dedicated to online fundraising in the world.

Cole’s gofundme page raised a little over $2,800 and with other pledges he made a total of $5,000 for Serenity Hospice and Home.

What a tremendous gift for a righteous cause. Glad we played a part by buying raffle tickets.

Good luck in your recovery, Scotty, and thank you Jared Dambman for your generous donation.

Public Voice Thank you for all the support Dear Editor, On Saturday, July 16, there

was a fundraiser in downtown Polo to raise money for Scotty Powell who was in a car accident this past January where he sustained a severe brain injury.

It turned out to be an amazing day where a community came together to show incredible support for Scotty and his wife Bekka.

Hundreds gathered that day for live and silent auctions, a bags tournament, food, a wine pull, and raffles.

This day not only represented how much people wanted to show financial support, but a day that family, friends, and community members came together to show how much they care for Scotty and his recovery.

We would like to thank everyone who made this day possible. It would be impossible to name everyone involved because it took so many people to make this day the success that it was.

Our thanks also goes beyond the day of the event.

Since January, Scotty and our families have had an overwhelming amount of support and encouragement.

The thoughts and prayers that have been sent his way are also greatly appreciated.

In addition to the ultimate care that Scotty has been

Ogle County Health Dept. offers Zika virus repellants to travelers

By Joanie D. Padilla Director Health Education Emergency Preparedness Ogle County Health Department Ogle County Health Department will offer insect repellent to its residents who will be traveling to areas where Zika virus is epidemic.

Zika virus is epidemic in areas of Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America as well as the Pacific Islands and Cape Verde.

The 2016 Olympics which are being held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is an area where there have been a high number of cases of Zika virus and other mosquito borne diseases.

If you are traveling to an area of high Zika virus transmission you may stop by the Ogle County Health Department at 907 W. Pines Rd., Oregon, for information on how to prevent Zika transmission and for mosquito repellent.

Two types of repellent are being offered: repellent for use on the skin and repellent for use on clothing, tents, and untreated mosquito netting.

Supplies are limited and are only for those travelers going to an area of high Zika virus activity.

There has been no local transmission of Zika in Illinois although travelrelated cases have been reported in the state.

Educating the public and

helping with Zika prevention tactics is one way Ogle County Health Department seeks to protect and serve the residents of Ogle County.

For more information on areas where Zika is an epidemic go to: https:// wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/ zika-travel-information .

For additional information on Zika virus and eligibility for insect repellent call the Ogle County Health Department’s Director of Health Education/ Emergency Preparedness at 815-732-7330, extension 279.

Opening round of softball tournaments were played

By Larry Loomis Polo began hosting opening round play on July 18 in both the Junior and Senior Miss Divisions of the Northern Illinois Girls Softball League.

Polo Three began tourney play by hosting Amboy Two on July 18.

Polo Three had finished regular season play with a 12-3 record and had earned home field advantage in the first round of play against Amboy.

The contest turned out to be one of the finest played in Polo this season as Polo took a 1-0 decision to advance.

The only run of the game came in the bottom of the first when Kayla Boelens hit a ball back toward the Amboy pitcher.

The Amboy player tossed a wild throw toward first base that bounced off the right field fence and by the time the ball was thrown back into the infield Boelens was on her way to third.

When the Amboy second baseman got the ball from foul territory, she rifled the ball to third where the throw was high and sailed over to the third base dugout.

Boelens raced to the plate as an Amboy fielder attempted to recover the ball and throw to the plate.

The throw was made but missed the catcher as Boelens scored what proved to be the only run of the game.

With that one run, the game settled into a pitcher’s battle between Polo’s

Natalie Nelson and Amboy’s Brinley Nickle.

Each team would struggle to score in the following innings. Amboy got it’s first two runners on in the second courtesy of the base on ball.

Nelson, however, bore down and struck out the next two batters and got the third on an infield out.

Polo got its’ first two batters on in the third inning and then saw their next three batters be struck out.

Amboy got two runners on in the fifth after one down but reliever Emileigh Williams struck out one batter and got the next on a putout at third to end the inning.

In the bottom of the fifth, Polo’s first two batters drew walks. With two down via the strikeout, Taylor Tornow singled to fill the bases.

Karlea Frey then hit into a fielder’s choice to end the inning with Polo needing but three more outs to take the game.

In the Amboy sixth, their first batter was hit by a pitch and was awarded first.

One pitch to the next batter was declared no pitch as the runner on first base left early and was called out.

Williams struck out the next batter to make it two down.

Following a walk, Williams recorded yet another strikeout to end the contest sending Polo Three into the semi-finals against none other than in town rival Polo One which had drawn a bye having won the division with the best record in the league at 15-1 for the

campaign.

For the night, Polo had only two hits while Amboy had none as Natalie Nelson and Emileigh Williams combined for a no hitter.

Nelson got the win and Williams picked up the save.

Polo Three faced Polo One on July 20 for the right to advance to the championship game Friday evening at 6 p.m. The loser of this game would play at 8 p.m. for third place honors.

Both Polo teams were looking for this rematch.

The two had clashed on June 11 with Polo One taking a relatively easy 16-1 win in just three innings.

Polo Three was hoping to reverse this outcome in the second meeting of the year. Polo Three had high hopes of defeating Polo One as they had been playing some very good ball of late, witness their 1-0 victory over Amboy to get to the semi-final game.

Polo One, however, had other ideas as they would break out of a 0-0 tie in the bottom of the third with four runs enroute to a 7-2 win.

Nicole Boelens of Polo One and Emileigh Williams of Polo Three hooked up in a pitcher’s duel the first two innings. Boelens struck out the first nine batters she faced.

Williams struck out four of the first nine batters she faced allowing her defense to account for the rest of the outs. Then, in the bottom of the third, Polo One broke through as they were able to take advantage of four base on balls and two hit batsmen

to score four to take a 4-0 lead.

Polo Three came back in the top of the fourth to cut Polo One’s lead in half with a pair of runs.

Morgan McBride walked with one down.

Natalie Nelson singled to send McBride to second.

Following another strikeout, Kayla Boelens doubled to score McBride and Nelson to cut Polo One’s lead to 4-2.

Teah Almassy followed Boelens’ double with a single as suddenly Polo Three looked ready to tie the game. Such was not to be the case, however, as Boelens struck out the next batter to end the rally.

Natalie Nelson had come on in the previous inning when Williams tired. Nelson, however, had trouble with her control and issued four base on balls.

With a run forced in and the bases loaded, Nicole Boelens helped out her own cause by hitting a single to score two more runs to give Polo One a 7-2 that would hold up for the win sending Polo One into the championship game against the winner of the Forreston One/Stillman Valley One that followed the two Polo teams while Polo Three would face the loser for third place honors.

For the game, Polo One had but one hit while Polo Three had three hits.

Nicole Boelens had Polo One’s only hit while Natalie Nelson and Teah Almassy each had a single and Kayla Boelens had a double.

Nicole Boelens struck out

eighteen batters in picking up the win while Emileigh Williams suffered the loss.

In the evening’s second contest between Forreston One and Stillman Valley One, Forreston scored four runs in the top of the first, two in the second and held on for a 6-3 victory. Forreston thus moved on to face Polo One in the championship game Friday evening and Polo Three was scheduled to take on Stillman One for third place honors.

In the lower division tourney held in Oregon for the teams with losing records for the season, Polo Two faced a team from Oregon and dropped a 15-4 decision.

Polo came into the game having played much better ball of late and was hoping to pick up a win to advance to the semi-finals.

While details of the game were vague, Polo apparently scored a pair of runs in the top of the first and then went on to add solo runs in the third and fifth innings.

Unfortunately for Polo, their pitching just could not keep Oregon off the board as walks allowed Oregon batters to continually reach base all evening leading to repeated scoring without benefit of a hit.

For the game, Polo had five hits. Faith Ukena had two singles to pace what offense there was for Polo as they wrapped up their season.

The Senior Division Tourney began for Polo One against Oregon One on July 19.

Oregon lacked consistent pitching and as a result, Polo cruised to a lopsided 17-2 win in just three and one half innings.

Polo picked up five runs in the bottom of the first without benefit of a hit. Five walks and hit batsmen and too many wild pitches and passed balls to count saw the hometown ladies bolt to a quick 5-0 lead.

The second inning was almost a copy of the first with four walks, a hit batsman, an error and a booming inside the park homerun by Kaitlyn Marschang.

By the time the inning was over, Polo had pushed their lead to 10-0.

The third inning was more of the same. This time, Polo picked up six base on balls, a hit batsman and a threerun triple by K.T. Trobaugh.

With that triple, Polo added five more runs to lead 15-1 after three. Polo picked up another two in the

Local Farmers More Optimistic About The Industry Than Those Surveyed Nationally

BY JERMAINE PIGEE For Northern Illinois Ag Mag

Farmers Forum Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the future of agriculture in the U.S.? Why? Ed Livengood, 35, Milledgeville “I’m young and I have a lot of years ahead of me. As a self-employed farmer, I need to be optimistic. There are a lot of reasons to be pessimistic, but it would make it hard to get out of bed if that is all you are thinking about.”

Karl Tautz, 51, Mount Carroll “You always have to be optimistic. Farmers are coming off of 10-year record profits and now, prices are a lot lower. The farming economy is still growing, but it’s not making the record numbers that were made the past 3 or 4 years.”

Dan Lamoureux, 33, Lanark “Over the long term, I am optimistic, but I am cautiously optimistic. It’s tough to factor in all the things that can affect the market when you are

talking profits. We are also affected by the growing season and what the weather is doing. It’s difficult to pay close attention to all the different factors and find a balance. For the rest of my career, there will be challenges. It can be stressful, but it’s part of the job.”

Leonard Sheaffer, 65, Dixon “I’m optimistic about farming. It cycles. Prices go up and prices go down, and you have to weather the lows. If things were that good and easy, everyone would be doing it. If you are an internal pessimist, you don’t really have any business farming.”

Nathan Hummel, 34, Dixon “I’m really optimistic for the long term, but for the short term, I’m pretty nervous. I feel like it will be a crawl back up to where things used to be.

Input costs started started going up when I first went into farming, and it will be a while before everything balances itself out. We have to run things on a tight budget for the next couple years unless something drastic happens.”

Tournament games played From A9 last inning and won under the fifteen run rule 17-2.

Polo had just two hits those being Marschang’s homerun and Trobaugh’s triple.

Marschang went the route to pick up the win. With the victory, Polo advanced to the quarter final round against AFC. In the evening’s finale, Polo Three faced off against Stillman Valley One for Third place honors.

Polo would score the first run of the game in the top of the first as they were the visiting team due to the fact that Stillman had won one more game than Polo during the regular season and thus were the higher seed.

Polo’s solo run would give them the lead only once as they would ultimately fall by a score of 6-5 due to time limit and a nightmarish second inning.

Polo Three’s pitching had been up and down much of the season.

When pitching was consistent in finding the plate, they were extremely tough to beat but when the plate became illusive walks became their opposition’s offense.

In the top of the second, Polo’s pitching collapsed as walk after walk with three hit batsmen sandwiched in between saw Stillman put six runs on the board to take a 6-1 lead.

Emily Williams working in relief would eventually find her control and Stillman would never score the rest of the game but the time used in the second inning would haunt Polo for the rest of the evening.

Polo got three runs back in the top of the third. Taylor Tornow drew a leadoff walk.

Natalie Nelson followed with a single to put two runners on.

Following two strikeouts

and with things looking doubtful that Polo would score, Kayla Boelens cracked a double to center field to score Tornow and Nelson.

Boelens would then score on a single by Abby Yingling to cut Stillman’s lead to 6-4.

With some good defense and timely fielding, Polo kept Stillman at bay.

In the top of the fifth, and time running out, Polo had their last chance to tie or take the lead.

Natalie Nelson again led off with a single. With one down, Molly Blum singled to score Nelson. Kayla Boelens walked.

With two down and less than five minutes to get the bottom of the inning for Stillman, Polo desparately needed to score another run to tie the game to insure a sixth inning. Unfortunately, Polo’s last batter was called out on strikes to end the inning as Stillman held to their one run lead.

Stillman had two runners on with one down when time expired to give Stillman the victory.

Polo had definitely grabbed the momentum after the second inning but the time factor ultimately cost them a last chance without playing the final inning.

For the game, Polo had six hits with Teah Almassy and Natalie Nelson each collecting two hits.

Stillman Valley did not have a hit but racked up ten walks and had three hit batsmen which pretty much came in the second inning.

Polo Three finished the season with a 13-5 record.

In quarter final action here July 23, in Senior Division Tourney play, Polo One hosted AFC and came away with a relatively easy 14-2 win.

With threatening weather on the horizon, Polo struck for six runs in the bottom of

the first when five base on balls and a double by Cynthia Calderon saw Polo bolt to an early lead at 6-0.

AFC came back with their only runs of the evening in the top of the second.

A single, followed by a triple, followed by yet another single produced the visitors’ only runs of the game. Midway through two, Polo led 6-2.

Polo got those two runs back in the bottom of the inning. Kaitlyn Marschang led off the inning with a walk.

Following an out, Amber Henson was hit by a pitch to put runners on first and second. With two down, Jasmine Badon singled to score Marschang and Henson to see Polo’s lead go up by six again at 8-2.

Polo administered the final touch in the bottom of the third by scoring six more runs.

Three batters drew walks, one batter was hit by a pitch and singles by Allissa Wakenight and K.T. Trobaugh along with an error saw the home town ladies take a 14-2 lead that they fashioned into the win under the ten run rule a half inning later.

For the game, Polo had just four hits but was the recipients of ten base on balls, three errors and three hit batsmen. Kaitlyn Marschang went the distance for the win.

The win propelled Polo One into the semis Monday against an opponent yet to be named.

Polo Two picked up an easy 7-0 victory against Rochelle when they forfeited because of a lack of players.

Polo Two thus advanced to the semis against an unknown opponent for Monday’s second game.

Details of those games will come next week.

Polo One defeated Forreston One for championship

By Larry Loomis Polo One faced Forreston One for Championship honors in the Junior Division of the Northern Illinois Girls’ Softball League on July 22.

This game will go down as one of the best if not the best game ever played in Junior Division action as Polo bested their rivals from Forreston by a 4-0 margin in seven innings.

Nicole Boelens pitching for Polo and undoubtedly the best pitcher in the league faced off against a pretty good country pitcher in the person of Becky Boettner of Forreston.

These two fine pitchers would face each other for seven innings before the outcome would be decided.

Boelens pretty much dominated at the dish as she struck out no fewer than two batters an inning and 15 of the 26 batters she faced for the game.

While Boettner would match Boelens with 15 strikeouts for the night, she would also walk 10 batters to just three for Boelens.

Boettner would give up two hits to the same number for Boelens.

It was when those two hits for Polo would be made that

Players from Polo One and Forreston One posed together for a photo July 22 after battling it out for the championship in the Junior Division of the Northern Illinois Girls’ Softball League. Polo One won 4-0. Photo supplied

would decide the outcome of the game.

Boelens would not allow a Forreston runner past second base all evening while Polo loaded the bases in the first, fourth sixth and seventh innings.

Every time Polo would fill the bases, save the last inning, Boettner would get a strikeout or two to stop Polo from scoring.

In the top of the sixth, Forreston came close to scoring when Boettner opened the inning with a

double to right.

Boelens then proceeded to strikeout the next two batters. Courtney Greenfield then came up and hit a fast dropping fly ball to short right field.

Polo’s right fielder Elleanna Wells came racing in and put out her glove for the basket catch and she made the game saver as the ball plunked in her glove preventing the fleet footed Boettner on second from giving Forreston an almost certain 1-0 lead.

Wells’ catch was a game saver setting the stage for what would happen in the bottom of the seventh.

Polo did not score in the sixth and Polo returned the favor to Forreston by shutting them down in the top of the extra inning seventh.

Then came the pivotal bottom of the seventh.

Following a strikeout to open the seventh, Courtney Bushman walked. Nicole Boelens also drew a base on ball.

With two down, Rebekah

Zeigler then hit a scratch single in the infield to fill the bases. Next to the plate came Jasmine Badon. She was hitless on the night with two strikeouts and a ground out.

Hoping to at least get a single to drive in the winning run, Badon jacked a 3-0 pitch to deep left center that rolled toward the fence as one run scored, then another and another while the outfielders tried to get the ball in but Badon beat them all as she recorded a thrilling and

decisive grand slam to give Polo One the championship honors 4-0.

This was a game that players from both teams will likely remember for a lifetime and so will the many fans and family that witnessed this well played and the sporting manner that both teams, their coaches and fans displayed in victory and defeat.

Congratulations go out to Polo One and Forreston One for the fine seasons they had.

Polo One finished the campaign with a 17-1 record.

Regular season wraps up for summer softball teams

By Larry Loomis Polo Two of the Junior Miss Division reported in several games played over the past several weeks.

On June 27, Polo travelled to Byron where they lost by a score of 20-3. The game only went three innings under the 15-run rule.

Polo managed to score its three runs in the second inning. Lindee Poper walked to open the inning.

With one down, Faith

Ukena walked to put runners on first and second. Braelyn Velez walked to fill the bases. Maddi Jones doubled to score a pair of runs.

Natalie McDuffy singled to score the last Polo run of the game. Polo had only two hits on the night.

On June 30, Polo Two journeyed to Forreston and came away with a 10-5 loss.

Polo cracked out a total of nine hits with Maddi Jones and Lindee Poper each having two hits. Once

again, Polo’s pitching just could not get consistency in finding the plate and issued numerous walks which the hosts were able to convert into runs.

The game on July 14 was Polo Two at Amboy where they lost by an 11-8 score.

Overall, Polo did not play too badly but Amboy was able to generate just enough offense to cop the win.

For the evening, Polo collected nine hits. Reylee Katner, Kadence Sheaffer

and Lindee Poper each had two hits.

Polo One of the Tiny Miss Division hosted Savanna on July 11 in a makeup game and came away with a 17-5 victory. After giving up two runs in the top of the first, Polo came back with three runs in the bottom of the inning.

Cali Zies singled to open the inning. Avalyn Henry doubled to score Zies. With one down, Camyron Jones doubled to score Henry.

Leah Tobin singled Jones to third and Jones then came in to score on a single by Alayna Young to give Polo a 3-0 lead after an inning of play.

Polo added five more runs in the second. Henry reached on an error to open the inning. Grace Miatke singled Henry to second.

Camyrn Jones singled to fill the bases. Leah Tobin then banged out a triple to score all three runners on base. Alayna Young singled

to score Tobin.

Isabella Witkowski singled and Natallia Witkowski doubled to score Tobin with the fifth run of the inning as Polo bolted to an 8-3 lead.

Polo would add nine more runs over the final three innings to win going away.

For the game, Polo collected 28 hits to eight hits for the visitors. Leah Tobin led all Polo hitters as she went five for five with three singles and two triples.

game football.

To all the Oregon boosters that came out to support the endeavor and all the former Hawks that donned a uniform again, a hearty thank you. You are what make me proud to be a part of this community.

Finally, one of the beauties of an alumni game that isn’t

found in high school, college and pro is that it doesn’t matter who wins the game and it doesn’t have to be pretty.

The only thing that matters to a player is experiencing what it feels to be like on that football field one more time with a bunch of kindred spirits.

Sports Column Beautiful night for alumni football game

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com For the third year in a row, it was a beautiful summer night for the alumni football game.

Played under the lights at Landers-Loomis Field, the game serves as a prelude to the regular season football and delivered another large crowd of Hawk supporters.

According the Chuck Hulke, who manages a sixstate area for Alumni Football USA, Oregon remains one of the shining stars of the national organization.

“They does a good job of maintaining a team year after year,” Hulke said. “A lot of schools do it a couple years

and take a break. That makes what Oregon has been able to do unique.”

The driving force behind the Oregon alumni team is Corey Fry, a 2000 Hawk grad. An impressive 40man roster and thousands of dollars raised for the high school sports program is a testament to his hard work and efforts.

The Hawk alumni team is one of the few that even have custom-made jerseys. While other communities have struggled to put an alumni team together, enthusiasm in Oregon has remained high.

In fact, Corey mentioned to me that guys are already talking about signing for next year, including some newcomers.

One thing I find intriguing about these games is how an alumni team is a reflection of the community. At least, that what the Rock Falls-Oregon game seemed like.

MAJOR LEAGUE

I view Rock Falls as a town that is rougher around the edges than Oregon. That exactly how the two teams appeared to be.

On paper, Oregon was the favorite. Certainly they would wear down the visitor, I thought – by virtue of talent, having more bodies and operating as a wellorganized machine.

In their shiny new uniforms, they even looked better than the rag-tag unit from Rock Falls.

It didn’t work out that way, though. Rock Falls, with guys being knocked out of the game seemingly every other play, kept on getting up from the canvas.

In a spirit of cooperation, Mark Robinson of Oregon and expert on sports injuries, spent more time tending to the injured Rockets than he did on the playing field.

With 22 losing seasons out of the last 23, Rock Falls

players are used to get beat up and perhaps that seasoned them for playing alumni ball.

So, how did they manage to pull off the upset?

Rock Falls played simply for the sake of playing, if that makes any sense. Like junkyard dogs, they played if their lives depended on it. It was sports at it purest essence.

It didn’t hurt either that they got the breaks. A gridiron sage once said that the difference between winning and losing are two or three plays that could have went either way.

All three of the alumni games Oregon has been involved in were more competitive than what I had imagined. Maybe that’s why football has such an appeal.

It manifests a competitive nature that goes way beyond high school, college and pros.

It is even found in alumni

Township merger request will be on November ballot

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The Ogle County Board gave its blessing Tuesday evening to the proposed merger of two townships.

At the request of officials from Lafayette and Taylor Townships, the board unanimously approved a resolution to place a referendum on the Nov. 8 ballot to combine the two.

For that to happen, a majority of voters in both townships will have to approve the referendum.

Taylor Township Supervisor JoAnn Reynolds said officials in both township have discussed the move for several years and support it.

“It would make much sense to do it now,” she said.

“Both townships are solvent.

If we wait four years that could turn around.”

Lafayette Township Supervisor Cliff Jones agreed.

“We’re not broke, we’re just not going very far,” he said with a chuckle.

Both he and Reynolds agreed that the decision to combine the townships

should be up to the voters.

“It will save money. It will save lots of money,” Reynolds said. “We’re halftownships now. This will make us a full township. I think it has to be done.”

Taylor Township Road Commissioner Ed Bettner said road work could be done more efficiently if the merger takes place.

“We can maintain the roads a little better as one township,” he said.

He said most of Taylor’s roads are seal-coated and most of Lafayette’s are gravel.

“We could help with that,” he said.

County board member Pat Saunders, Polo, spoke in support of the merger, as did Lee Meyers, Byron, and Lyle Hopkins, Polo.

“I think it’s a great idea, and I commend you both,” Saunders said.

The two townships touch each other with Hoosier Road as the north-south boundary between them.

Taylor lies directly south of Oregon-Nashua Township with the Rock River forming most of its western boundary.

Lafayette lies just to the east of Taylor. Lee County

borders both on the south.

Both are in rural areas of the county and are sometimes referred to as “half-townships” because they are about half the size of most others.

Lafayette is 18 square miles and has a population of 170 people.

Taylor is 15.5 square miles and boasts a population of 963, largely due to the Lost Lake Subdivision.

Saunders asked which county board district the new township will be in if the referendum passes.

Currently, Lafayette is in District 2 with White Rock, Pine Rock, and OregonNashua Townships.

Taylor is in District 8 with Brookville, Lincoln, Eagle Point, Buffalo, Pine Creek, Woosung, and Grand Detour Townships.

By Steve Rypkema Treasurer Rock River Sweep

Organizations, groups, clubs, businesses, and individuals are encouraged to volunteer to fill the positions of ‘Section Coordinator’ in each of the communities along the Rock River for the Eighth Annual Rock River Sweep, to be held on Saturday, Sept. 10.

Last year, Section Coordinators planned clean-ups in the Hustiford, Horicon, and Watertown areas of Wisconsin, and in the Rockton, Roscoe, Machesney Park, Loves Park, Rockford, Byron, and Oregon areas of Illinois.

Rock River Sweep.org is looking for people who can help in those areas and the many other areas along the Rock that are in need of coordinators to plan local clean-ups.

RockRiverSweep.org is a grass roots, not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving the health and ecosystem of the Rock River and its tributaries in Wisconsin and Illinois by partnering the communities along its banks into a unified, volunteer effort of river revitalization and annual

clean-ups.

The group is hoping to have more sections of the river cleaned up this year to continue to improve the quality of this beautiful river.

Larger communities may require multiple sub-sections and coordinators to head up each sub-section.

Some of the duties of the Section Coordinator are as follows: 1.

Work with RockRiverSweep.org organizers to assure a uniform and successful clean-up.

2.

Acquire clean-up supplies and other support from local businesses, (T-shirts, gloves, flyers, waste disposal, etc.).

3. Work with local media to recruit volunteers for your section for the clean-up day.

4. Work with neighboring section coordinators to prevent overlapping of sections.

5. Use the “Organizer’s Handbook” (provided by RockRiverSweep.org) to assure a successful clean-up effort.

6. Register your section of the Rock River Sweep with RockRiverSweep.org and with American Rivers.

AmericanRivers.org may supply free trash bags if

Democrats meet Aug. 10

registered in advance.

7. Recruit, assemble, and register volunteers for the event and assign areas to clean-up.

8. Coordinate ‘post-cleanup’ recyclable-sort and trash disposal.

Astrograph Take your time, don’t leave anything to chance.

THURSDAY, JULY 28, 2016 LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Letting emotional problems seep into your professional life will not lead to advancement.

Offer your skills and a positive attitude, and confront domestic issues with peace and love.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you search for information, you will discover something that will clear up confusion about a personal matter. Your effort to excel will pay off.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Speak up on behalf of someone who cannot do so for him- or herself. Your ability to offer a reasonable alternative will make you a hero. Love should be a joyful end to a hectic day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Jealousy will stand in your way. Step back and consider whether it’s worth getting upset over something you cannot change. Focus on what you can do, not on what you cannot.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- A healthier lifestyle will save you from slipping into bad habits.

Demonstrating discipline and a desire to be your best is favored.

Love yourself and the people who support your efforts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You need to move forward, regardless of what others do. An unpredictable situation is best handled with caution. Rely on your experience to guide you in order for a positive turn of events to unfold.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Good fortune will develop through patience, love and understanding. If you are sincere and consistent in your treatment of others, you will enhance your relationship with loved ones.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Listen to what’s being said and make adjustments based on what works for you. Trust in your knowledge, intuition and ability to visualize. Don’t let mixed emotions lead you astray.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you network and show off your skills, you will be offered a chance to take on something new and exciting.

Contracts and negotiations look promising.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Put your emotions aside and become a participant. The experience you gain and the connections you make will be worth your while. Don’t give in to someone using emotional tactics.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Play it safe and ask questions if you are in doubt.

Common sense should tell you who is offering you the truth and who isn’t. What you discover will help bring about personal change.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Dream on and proceed to make your dreams a reality.

Carve out a working space in your home that is conducive to creativity and personal growth.
