Evanston youth mission lends a helping hand

By Zach Arbogast zarbogast@oglecounty news.com Prayers were answered when a church youth service group from Evanston arrived to help fix up a home for sale last week.

When Judith Wakenight died in March, her cousin Carrie Schier wasn’t sure what to do when she became executor of the estate at 410 S. Congress Ave. The house needed to be cleaned out and fixed up before it was ready to sell, and the task was daunting.

“We had to clean it up, had debt to pay, and were thinking ‘what can we do?’”

Schier said.

After finding herself in a bit of a hole, someone reached down a ladder — several someones, that is.

Fourteen kids and three adults from the Evanston United Methodist Church’s junior high youth group came to the Polo house on June 26, spending the rest of the week cleaning up, scraping old paint, and putting on a fresh coat of paint.

“It’s been just a wonderful project,” said Mike McGuire, a former Polo resident, who helps organize the youth group for their yearly missions.

McGuire keeps in touch each year through Dave and

Laurie Sherrick, decadeslong friends who keep him informed of service projects around Polo that could use some helping hands.

The Sherricks often reach out to Schier, like they did this time, and the timing couldn’t have been better.

“They asked me ‘do you know of anyone in need of service?’ and I said ‘you know, I sure do,’” said Schier, referring to the situation of the Congress Avenue estate.

The group helped out in Rockford for several years, but McGuire said he wanted to build better personal relationships.

“We’d do the work in Rockford, and we’re glad we could help, but it often felt like we weren’t building very good individual relationships with those we served,” said McGuire. “We tried moving it to a smaller, more rural area like Polo, and the response has been a lot better.”

James Ogunbola, a summer intern for the church, accompanies the kids on the mission trips, and said coming to Polo is quite a bit different from the suburbs they’re used to.

“Coming from affluent suburbs like Evanston, so coming to Polo is interesting, because it’s so different from where we’re from,” said Ogunbola. “Polo has

been extremely welcoming, and it’s one of those small cities where everyone knows everyone, which is a wonderful, pleasant vibe.”

In spite of the sweltering heat, Ogunbola said the youth bonded over coming together

to help, and getting to know a little bit about Polo, even staying on a nearby farm owned by McGuire.

The house was surrounded on all sides, with some kids on the ground level painting the front, while others were

lifted on scaffolding doing the upper parts of the house.

Polo Alderman Randy Schoon provided a Skyjack 600 series 4x4 scissors lift for the group – a boon McGuire was eternally grateful for.

Despite the pressure

initially being on, Schier was simply thankful for help arriving when it did.

“These kids are awesome; I’m not sure what we would have done without them,” said Schier. “This was an enormous blessing.”

City council not happy with Oregon Street

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Emotions ran hot Monday evening as Polo officials hammered out what to do about street work they consider unacceptable.

At a special public meeting before the regular city council meeting, Mayor Doug Knapp and several aldermen voiced their dissatisfaction to engineer Matt Hansen, from Willett, Hofmann & Associates, Inc. Dixon, over the paving done on West Oregon Street last year.

“Somebody has to be responsible for this stuff.

It’s not the city’s fault,” said Alderman Randy Schoon told Hansen.

Knapp agreed.

“Fischer didn’t step up and take responsibility. Civil didn’t take responsibility.

Willett & Hofmann didn’t take responsibility,” he said. “I want to see fairness, and fairness isn’t going on.”

Fischer Excavating, Freeport, was the contractor on a $933,000 project to replace sewer and water mains on Maple Avenue and Oregon

Street, install new water services on Oregon Street, and rehabilitate the lift station on South Congress Avenue.

Civil Engineering, also of Freeport, was hired to pave the eastbound lane of West Oregon Street which was torn up to do the work.

Since the project was completed last fall, aldermen have been receiving complaints from residents who live and drive on the street.

The westbound lane is also scheduled for repaving, but the work has not yet been done.

Hansen explained the problem is that the eastbound lane is incorrectly sloped.

He said the street should be gradually sloped from the centerline to the gutters to allow for drainage, and the slope should be constant throughout.

However, the lane slopes too steeply from the center to the parking lane, and then slopes more gradually than it should toward the gutters.

In addition, Hansen said the manholes on the street are lower than the pavement rather than flush with it, as they should be.

In This Week’s Edition...

Alderman Troy Boothe said both Fischer and Civil are capable of doing higher quality work.

“It’s all about money,” he said.

Schoon said he doesn’t want either company hired to pave the westbound lane.

In the end, Hansen suggested hiring the two companies.

“We can go back to them and say the city is willing to award you the contract for the westbound lane, but you’re going to have to correct the eastbound lane for nothing,” he said.

Hansen said he will mail written notices to both companies and will withhold the final payment for the project until the problem is resolved.

The westbound lane is not part of that project and will cost another estimated $89,000.

“We have to do it anyway,” Knapp said.

Alderman Jim Busser also brought up a problem with water standing on the pavement on the Maple Street portion of the project.

“There’s a problem there, too,” he said.

Even with grant, $300,000 still needed for Black Hawk repairs

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Even with a state grant on the way, the Black Hawk Restoration Team has to raise the better part of $300,000 for repairs to the area’s best known landmark.

The $350,000 state grant approved recently by the Illinois General Assembly, is a matching grant, which means private donors must come up with an

equal amount, or in this case slightly more than that, to fix the Black Hawk statue at Lowden State Park.

The grant is a 51-49 match, and the 51 percent must come from private sources.

At a meeting Monday morning that included State Rep. Tom Demmer (R-Dixon), Restoration Team Chairman Jan Stilson said the estimated cost of the repairs currently sits at $600,000.

The fund for the statue’s repair has $59,000 in it.

Demmer was on hand to answer questions and to present official copies of the resolution that released the grant money to Stilson and Oregon Mayor Ken Williams.

The grant was approved in 2009, but remained tied up by state budget woes until last month.

William Burns house named to National Register ​ y Betty Obendorf B Curator Polo Historical Society We nearly suffocated in the heat outside of the building and then we nearly froze to death on the inside of the Old State Capitol Building.

It had been years since I had been in this old timer, and my main concern was finding a place to sit down.

Our National Register Presentations had previously been held in the Abraham Lincoln Library.

It was easy to get inside with no steps and the elevator was close at hand.

But we were not so lucky this time and the selected place was the “Old Capitol.”

I was with Ed and Joan [Raley] and we pulled up in front at the bus stop.

I took one look at the long walk to the building, all the steps up to the door, and no one around to indicate if we were at the correct entrance.

I got out with my cane and found a bus bench to sit on briefly while Joan was placed in a wheelchair.

I offered to walk up to the door to be certain it was open.

The knob said, “Push and turn at the same time.”

I am never good at those kind of things but this time the heavy door opened and we were in the correct spot.

The coolness of the building felt good and I sat down on a bench nearby. I had made it in!

Soon Joan made it in also but she did have to navigate the steps herself while the lady inside kept apologizing for their lack of handicap accessibility.

Ed had to go park the car in an underground garage and they did have an elevator.

But unfortunately something at the underground level was not working that extremely hot day.

The elevator did work to take us up to the second floor and Foundation Hall.

We entered Foundation Hall, found a seat, and I instantly wondered what they were keeping in that room that needed refrigeration.

It was freezing and I had on a knit shirt with short sleeves, a sweater, and a heavy dress jacket.

Kenneth had said to me as I left home, “Take your coat!”

I felt it a tad unnecessary

in 90 degree weather and I would have felt rather strange with a coat on in downtown Springfield.

Next time I will listen.

Ed and Joan had to suffer through with short sleeves and they were indeed cold!

We were warmly welcomed

by Amy Hathaway who was in charge.

Amy and Andrew, who is the secretary, came to Polo a couple of years ago and they are very familiar with our buildings.

Amy even introduced us to everyone and thanked us for all the research we have done.

That was very nice of her.

I received numerous emails from Amy asking for one more detail.

I was always able to find it and as the presentation was given, I could see where all those little details fit in.

The sites are fairly well screened before they get to the final board for review.

But Joan was very worried that the 1854 William Wallace Burns House would not be accepted.

As the presentation for the Dr. William Wallace Burns House developed I felt very

confident that it would be accepted by the board to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

I was correct in my assumption and now Polo has

one more site on the national register.

It was accepted unanimously and now Polo has nine sites on the national register.

That makes us a very

unusual small town in the state of Illinois.

Our thanks to Joan Raley for all she has done to make our town stand out!

Repair work should be quick City council will lease vacant lot From A1 Demmer said that the money previously spent on the preparation work for the repairs to the 107-yearold concrete statue will not be considered as part of the private matching funds.

“Past contracts don’t count,” he said.

The preparation work was done under a contract with then-project conservator Andrzej Dajnowski, from Conservation of Sculpture & Objects Studio, Forest Park.

Quality Restorations Inc., of Wood Dale, has been chosen by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to finish the job, although a contract has not yet been signed, Demmer said.

The money to pay for the preparation work, which included repair specifications, laser scans, and chemical and structural analyses of the concrete, came from the approximately $500,000 raised by the Friends of the Black Hawk Statue, headed by Sterling resident Frank Rausa.

The $31,000 left from those funds is part of the $59,000, mostly of which is in a fund held by the Illinois Conservation Foundation in Springfield.

Demmer said that while spending the grant money has no time limit, anything remaining in the fund when the state’s fiscal year ends June 30, 2019 could be delayed by another budget impasse.

He also pointed out that the grant will match only its share of what the repairs cost. For example, if the repair work comes to only $500,000, the state will pay 49 percent of that or just less than $250,000.

However, he said the grant will cover work needed around the base of the statue, as well as the repairs to its surface.

Restoration Team Member Karly Spell asked Demmer is QRI is knowledgeable about how to repair the concrete mixture the statue was made of back in December of 1910.

Demmer assured her that the firm has the necessary expertise.

Spell also asked if

Dajnowski might be hired back to finish the job he began back in 2014.

“No,” Demmer replied.

After a dispute between Dajnowski and then-project engineer Amy Lamb Woods in 2015, the IDNR and Dajnowski did not renew their contract.

Stilson said the committee would like assurances that QRI will follow Dajnowski’s recommendations.

Restoration Team member Bill Hefty said the work will not take long once the contracts are in place.

“Quality Restorations can do the restoration fairly quickly - in 60 days,” he said.

The Restoration Team also discussed several fundraisers that are planned in upcoming weeks.

An account for donations has been set up at the Stillman Bank, and checks should be made out to Oregon Together: Black Hawk Restoration.

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com The Polo City Council decided Monday evening not to sell a piece of property to its former owner after all.

Instead, they agreed to start the process to offer a long-term lease to Art Johnson, owner of the Shell Expresslane, for the property at 212 S. Division Ave., just south of the gas

station and convenience store.

Johnson told the council he plans to put in a diesel island, separate from the gas pumps, on the adjoining property which is now a vacant lot.

Johnson gave the lot to the city approximately nine years ago.

City Attorney Tom Suits recommended a 20-year lease with an annual rent of $1,500, which could be adjusted every five years, based on the

Consumer Price Index.

The council voted two weeks ago to have the property appraised and seek bids for its purchase.

Although aldermen wanted to give the property back to Johnson, state statutes require that it must be sold.

The council rescinded the bid process Monday and authorized Suits to work out details of the lease agreement with Johnson’s attorney.

New Medicare Cards are arriving in Illinois Mailboxes CMS removes Social Security numbers, increasing fraud protection and consumer experience for millions of Americans The Centers for Medicare &

Medicaid Services (CMS) is mailing new Medicare cards to protect the safety and security of people with Medicare benefits.

The new Medicare cards no longer contain a person’s Social Security number, but rather a unique, randomlyassigned Medicare number that protects the identities of people with Medicare reduces fraud and offers better safeguards of important health and financial information.

“Removing Social Security numbers from Medicare cards is one of the many

ways CMS is committed to putting patients first and improving the consumer healthcare experience,” said Jackie Garner, Regional Administrator. “This change not only protects Medicare patients from fraud, but also safeguards taxpayer dollars by making it harder for criminals to use Social Security numbers to falsely bill Medicare for care services and benefits that were never performed.”

Work on this important initiative was made possible by the enactment of the Medicare Access and CHIP

CMS began mailing the new Medicare cards to people who currently have Medicare benefits in Illinois this week.

Additionally, people who are new to Medicare in Illinois started to receive their new Medicare cards in April along with others across the country when the mailing first began.

As soon as people receive their new Medicare card, they should safely and securely destroy their old Medicare card and keep their new Medicare number confidential.

Our current mailing strategy allows us to complete the mailings of new cards to all people with Medicare, both new and current enrollees, over the next year.

The new Medicare card will not change any of the program benefits and services that eligible people enrolled in

Medicare receive.

People with Medicare and their caregivers can visit medicare.gov/newcard to find out when new Medicare cards will be mailed to their area.

They can also sign up for email notifications about the new card mailing and check the status in their state.

Healthcare providers, suppliers and people with Medicare will be able to use secure look up tools that allow quick access to the new Medicare numbers when needed.

There will also be a 21-month transition period for healthcare providers and suppliers to use either the former Social Security-based Medicare number or the new Medicare number to ensure a seamless transition.

Ogle County Newspapers, Friday, July 6, 2018, Page A6

First “Farm-to-Table” event is July 20 at Oak Lane Event will feature local chefs and food The Oregon Park District is offering the first ever Farm-to-Table meal on Friday, July 20 at 6 p.m. at Oak Lane, located on Daysville Road, southeast of Oregon.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the park district’s youth scholarship fund. The event will take place at 6 p.m.

Last year, the park district provided $4,296 in scholarship money to help kids participate in youth sports and recreation programs. Scholarship funds involve no tax dollars and are a direct result of fundraisers supported

by Oregon Park District Staff and the community.

Recently the Oregon Park District Scholarship Fund received a $5,000 donation from the A. Charles and Lillemore Lawrence Foundation for the Extended Time and Summer Camp program.

This donation has spurred Oregon Park District staff to offer the Farm to Table dinner to match these funds.

“The District utilizes the scholarship fund to provide opportunities for those in our school district who otherwise couldn’t afford to participate in programming,” Oregon Park District Executive Director Erin Folk said.

“All money utilized for scholarships has either been raised by the staff or donated by local organizations.

The fund is uniquely structured. No property tax revenue is utilized for the scholarships.

“Unfortunately, with the growing needs for scholarship assistance in our community, a higher demand is being placed on the fund resulting in additional fundraising,” Folk said.

Debbie Leffelman, event coordinator, has enlisted various

cooks from the Oregon area to prepare food items from produce and meat raised by local growers and farmers.

“Farmers markets have become events with food, music and shopping,” said Leffelman, citing numerous examples, including the conversion of the park district’s farmer’s market in 2017. “The Oregon Farmer’s Market now includes live music, food, vendors and access to downtown merchants on Friday evenings. I wanted to continue to utilize these resources with an event that appeals to foodies and benefits the youth in our community.”

The Farm-to-Table event will include auction items, goods for sale, live music and of course food!

“The biggest part of the Farm to Table evening will be a 4-course meal cooked by the local celebrity chefs,” Leffelman said. “A majority of the products used will be locally grown.

People love to eat and our hope is to put together an amazing meal people will enjoy while benefiting the youth of the community.”

Celebrity chefs include Candace Rivera (Hazel’s); Dave and Marilyn Balch (Ralphie & LuLu’s); Erin Dietrich (Dietrich Farms); Jen Koertner (Jen’s Artisan Bread); Joanne Canfield (Canfield Farms); Joyce Rybicki (White Pines Resort); Lisa Marie Ayres (Lincoln Way Inn Bed and Breakfast); Ralf Herrera (Ralfie’s BBQ); and Whitney Canfield (KSB

Registered Dietician).

The concept of Farm-to-Table has been around since at least the early 2000s, when consumers started demanding to know where their food came from and how it was being produced. What was once a social experiment, has become a social movement sweeping the country. It is more than a fad.

“Oak Lane has been very generous, offering their beautiful venue to us. A full-service bar will offer drinks for purchase. Wine pairings are included with the four-course meal and ticket price. Tickets are $50 per person or $400 for a reserved table of 8,” said Leffelman.

In addition to the four-course meal, Dina Bach will be entertaining the crowd thanks to the generous sponsorship of Circle G Farms.

Tickets are on sale now and available by phone, 815-732-3101, or at Nash Recreation Center, 304 S. 5th Street, Oregon. A limited number of tickets will be sold for the event.

For more information, contact Debbie Leffelman at Oregon Park District, 815-732-3101.

Public Voice Donations and volunteers equals successful sale Dear Editor, The Chana School Foundation had their annual white elephant sale at the Oregon Coliseum this year on June 1 and 2 which was a great success.  The foundation would like to thank Oregon City Hall for allowing the sale to be held at the Coliseum. Much was done by volunteers before the sale dates in the way of setup of the building, picking up items for the sale, and organizing table after table of things to be sold.

Folks also brought in their donated items the day before the sale.

Thanks to all those who

donated items for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s benefit for the Chana School Museum. This fund raiser would not have been a success without the efforts of so many volunteers, who came and went for four days working an hour to several depending on what free time they had. A true thriving and warm community is filled with volunteer organizations and individuals who make the climate of the community like sunshine, all aglow.

Thanks to the Ogle County Life and the Oregon Republican Reporter, news got out to the citizens county wide to rally for this fundraiser. The event was well attended.

TAKING FLIGHT Peace& Serenity

Friday, July 6, 2018

It was a day to honor the memories of not only loved ones, but service members, at Serenity Hospice & Home in Oregon on June 30.

The hospice home hosted its annual butterfly release, as well as the dedication of the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gazebo memorial and veterans walk.

The release of a couple hundred monarch butterflies honored the memories of departed loved ones.

The gazebo offers Serenity residents and their families a peaceful place to relax in a scenic setting as well as an opportunity to honor loved ones, courtesy of engraved bricks around the gazebo that people could have personalized for a donation.

The veterans walk leading to the gazebo features pavers personalized for a donation with names of service members engraved on them.

offensively, Dixon found themselves in a game, as Polo’s pitching and defense played some hard-headed ball.

Dixon had the league’s best pitcher in the person of Sam Tourtillot.

She will undoubtedly be a force for Dixon High in years to come and she showed why for four innings as she pretty had her way with Polo hitters.

She struck out the side in the first and went on to shut out Polo until the fourth when Polo broke through for a pair of runs.

Lexi Moore drew a leadoff walk. Lindee Poper reached on a two base error as Moore went to third.

Following a pair of strikeouts, Jasmyn Ludewig provided the power as she hammered a double to deep right center to score Moore and Poper to close the score to 6-2.

After a scoreless fifth, Dixon picked up three runs in the top of the sixth to go up 9-2 with time running out.

Polo had just one more chance at a comeback in the bottom of the inning.

Natalie Nelson led off the inning with a double.

Rebekah Zeigler drew a walk as did Bre Cox to fill the bases.

Annalise Stamm singled to score Nelson leaving the bases loaded.

Suddenly, those three runs that Dixon scored in the top of the inning began to loom large as Polo appeared ready to have a big inning.

Unfortunately, things went south from there as a strikeout and a fielder’s choice followed by another strikeout ended the inning and the game as Dixon took the game 9-3.

For the evening, Polo had just three hits while Polo batters struck out a total of sixteen times against Dixon pitching.

Dixon had four hits.

Polo was back on the field against Davis Junction Two June 28, where they dropped a 12-9 contest in Senior Division play.

The game started out pretty well for Polo as they took a 3-2 lead after an inning of play.

They did not have a hit in the inning but four walks and a hit batsman led to three easy runs.

Polo scored a solo run in the third and added three more in the third.

Reylee Katner led off the Polo third with a walk.

Braelyn Velez was hit by a pitch to put two runners on with no outs.

Following a pop out, Kayla Boelens walked to fill the bases.

The key hit came off the bat of Becca Zeigler as she drove in a pair of runs.

Natalie Nelson then walked to fill the bases again and a ball four pitch to Bre Cox forced in Boelens to give Polo a 7-2 lead after three complete.

Then, the roof caved in.

Natalie Nelson came in to pitch in relief of Teah Almassy.

Almassy had done an outstanding job for three innings and Nelson was coming off an excellent performance against Dixon the previous evening.

As pitchers often discover, whatever a good pitcher had one game can suddenly disappear in the next outing and that is what happened to Nelson.

She had no control and try as she might, she could not find the plate.

As a result, she gave up seven runs on six base on balls and three singles as Davis Junction bolted to a 9-7 lead midway through four.

Polo never recovered after that. They picked up a solo run in the fourth as Madissen Calderaon led off the fourth with a walk and came in to score on two infield outs.

In the fifth, as time expired, Becca Zeigler walked after two were down and scored on a single by Nelson and two hit batsmen.

Unfortunately, Polo had yielded three runs to the guests in the top of the inning to trail 12-8 going into the bottom of the inning so the solo run did not mean much as the game ended under the time limit as Davis Junction prevailed by a margin of 12-9.

For the night, Polo had just two hits.

Davis Junction had five hits.

The visitors had 13 walks while Polo had 10 free passes.

In game two, Polo Two hosted Forreston in Minor Division play. Polo put up a good fight but fell to their guests by a margin of 8-6.

Polo gave up five runs, the maximum allowed in the top of the first.

Forreston managed to score those five runs on four hit batsmen and a single. The visitors would never trail in the game.

Polo got two runs back in the bottom of the first.

Ariel Foster singled with one down. Kylee Diaz reached on a hit.

With runners on first and second with one down, Joya Katner reached on a three base error to see two runners score as Polo narrowed the deficit to

5-2 after one.

Forreston would get a single run in the second and add two more in the fourth.

Polo added a pair of runs in the bottom of the third.

Reese McKeel reached on an error to open the third for Polo.

Makayla Cisketti singled to put runners at the corners.

A couple of infield outs sandwiched around a strikeout would see two runners score as the hometown ladies closed the score to 6-5 after three innings.

The two runs that the guests scored in the top of the fourth would prove to be the deciding factors as Polo trailed 8-5 heading into the bottom of the fourth as time was running out.

Grace Woodin reached second on a two base error to open the inning.

She would come home to score on an infield out to close the score to 8-6 as the final out was recorded.

For the game, Polo had two hits to five hits for Forreston.

Friday evening, June 29th, Polo Two of the Junior Division hosted Forreston Two. Falling behind early by a 6-0 margin after a half inning, Polo would battle back before falling by a score of 11-9.

Polo pitching issued seven walks in the inning and along with a triple the guests jumped off to a quick 6-0 lead that Polo would spend all evening chasing but were never able to make a comeback.

Down 10-0 in the bottom of the third, Polo made a bid to get back in the game with six runs.

Allissa Marschang led off with a single to right.

Kylie Cisketti reached second on a two base error that saw Marschang score.

Three consecutive walks brought in two runs.

Leah Calderon then singled to bring in three more runs as Polo closed to 10-6 after three innings.

Forreston added a solo run in the fourth to go up 11-6.

Polo responded with two runs in the bottom of the inning.

Again, it was Marschang that led the offense as she doubled to open the fourth.

Kylie Cisketti walked as Marschang stole third.

Alayna Young was hit by a pitch to fill the bases.

A fielder’s choice saw Marschang come home.

Addison Quinlan was hit by a pitch to fill the bases.

Leah Calderon walked to force in a run closing Polo to 11-8.

Polo appeared ready to make a comeback but such was not to

be the case as the rally fizzled.

Polo would add a single run in the fifth and final inning as they got their first three batters on but only one could score as Forreston held on for an 11-9 victory.

For the night, Polo had four hits with Allissa Marschang having a single and a double.

Forreston had eight hits.

In the evening finale along with the last game of the week, Polo One of the Junior Division hosted Oregon One. This game only went three innings due to erratic pitching from both teams but Polo ultimately prevailed by a score of 15-12.

Polo jumped off to a 6-1 lead after an inning of play.

Cheyenna Wilkens led off the Polo first with a single.

Reagen Grenoble walked as Wilkens went to third. Ali Danekas singled to score Wilkens as Grenoble was forced at second.

Adrianna Tobin walked. With two down, Karlea Frey singled to score Danekas.

Kaiyle Horton was hit by a pitch to load the bases.

Singles by Taylor Tornow and Katelyn Rockwood scored three more runs as Polo took a 6-1 lead after one.

Polo’s pitching went south over the next two innings as 13 Oregon batters were walked and four were hit.

There was not one hit in the mix as Oregon managed to score a total of 11 runs over the second and third innings to take a 12-9 lead into the bottom of the third.

In the bottom of the third, Polo struck for six runs to go up 15-12.

With three runs already home in the inning due to five walks and a hit batsman, Gabby Oliver singled to score a run and then Karlea Frey hammered a double up the middle to score two more runs as the inning ended under the six run rule seeing Polo take the lead by three.

Oregon did not score in the top of the fourth as diminutive Cheyenna Wilkens came in to pitch for Polo and got the job done.

With so much time consumed by walks and hit batsmen and time running out, Oregon threw in the towel as Polo prevailed by a 15-12 score.

For the game, Polo had eight hits to Oregon’s one. Oregon got their scores on 19 walks and four hit batsmen.

The season’s last full week of regular league play wraps up the week of July 2 to 7.

Reagan Run set to see more than 1,000 entries

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com The running boom, which first began in the 1970s, continues to increase in size with the community of Dixon exhibiting just how encompassing it has become.

On Saturday, July 7, more than 1,000 entrants will be joining together in one huge party at the Petnia Festival’s 5K Reagan Run. It is a celebration of family members and friends running together, elites chasing awards, others on a wellness kick and some on an initial journey to longer distances, such as marathons.

Running has taken hold in communities large and small

all over the country. It has come a long way since it was only the domain of top-level males.

The most recent Boston Marathon had nearly as many female finishers as males.

About 50 years ago, females weren’t allowed to enter it because of chauvinistic views.

How could someone as fragile as a girl possibly run 26 miles was the school of thought?

That mind set began to change in 1967 when Kathrine Switzer entered as K.L. Switzer and finished in 4:20 without much of a problem, other than the meet director trying to physically remove her from the course once word got out an actual female was running.

In a famous photo, Switzer’s 215-pound boyfriend can be seen body slamming the meet

official out of the way after he came on the course to remove the bib number from Switzer.

It was also a symbolic blow to the blatant sexism that existed at the time.

But, it wasn’t until 1972 that women were finally allowed into the Boston Marathon.

Soon afterwards, everyday people took up jogging and one major reason was women stepping up for their rights as an athlete.

Recently, women have overtaken men in participation numbers for half marathons.

There is also a youth movement afoot in running. Kids of all ages will be toeing the line at the Reagan Run. Dixon has experienced much success in distance running at the high school and junior high

and one factor is the Reagan Run. Get kids interested early, like Evan Thorpe attempts to do, and you stand a decent chance of developing potential. A huge event like the Petunia Festival 5K may be just the vehicle to entice a youngster.

It certainly is less expensive than the thousands of dollars some parents spend on club sports for their kids. The only equipment needed is a pair of running shoes and those don’t have to be fancy either.

Don’t forget about the older crowd either. Last year, 38 men and women age 65 and over completed the Reagan Run. In 27th place was 51-year old Steve Brenner of Sterling, with 53year old Mike Grady of Dixon not too far behind in 36th.

The oldest finisher in this year’s Boston Marathon was an 85-year-old woman.

Besides the obvious health benefits, running affords a person the solitude and comfort often lacking in team sports. In training runs, it is normally just you and nature.

However, there is a palpable sense of excitement come race day, be it the Reagan 5K or an ultra marathon on the trails.

It is a chance to mingle with hundreds of other like-minded folks.

Though there is an element of competition, friendships supersede that. Ask last year’s 5K winner Jacob Gebhardt of Sterling about that.

For the past few years, he has dueled with Matt Richtman, of Kaneland, and Stephen

Poorten, of Sycamore, more times than he can remember in conference, sectional and state competition.

It was Richtman that bested Gebhardt for the cross-country state title by less than a second, this after Gebhardt did the same to Richtman and Poorten at the sectional.

The end result was not Gebhardt bemoaning a lost state title, but three seniors from different schools becoming good friends through a shared journey. Unlike other sports where the difference between winning and losing can be devastating, runners cheer each other on.

This is evident at any track or cross-country meet and will also be on full display at the Reagan Run on Saturday.
