Farmer discovers 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.

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.

Gold medalist receives champion’s escort back home

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 Scott 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.

E.D. Etnyre to give $100,000 toward 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

“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.

Burns house had competition for National Register

By Betty Obendorf Curator Polo Historical Society Ed, Joan, and I were settled in our chairs and ready for the business in Foundation Hall to begin.

We were in the Old State Capitol at Springfield ready to listen to the National Register presentations. We were cold, nervous, and wondered if all our hard work would be in vain.

The Illinois Historic Sites Advisory Council would be looking at eight sites and one of them would be the 1854 Dr. William Burns House in Ogle County, Polo, Illinois.

It not only was the first brick home in Polo, but it also

was one of the first homes in town along with Aplington House.

The town was just starting.

These were very simple primitive American folk houses except the Dr. Burns House was made out of brick.

Later on the comment was made about Burns using such a “permanent building material” at that early time.

This showed a “substantial investment in the future of the new community.”

Another comment said, “It set the tone for development in the small town.”

As it would turn out, this was very typical of Dr. Burns.

As his life unfolded, he had a vested interest in our community.

He was not here to get what he could out of it for himself.

He lived his whole life with the attitude of what he could do for this town.

How could he make it better? Do we have many people like that today?

So it has been interesting to look at what the other communities are doing as we gather at these presentations.

The people behind us were from Princeton. I commented how the Galena Trail and Coach Road Society had a number of meetings in their town, and they remembered that and knew Pat Goitein.

They even thanked me for coming to the library and giving programs on Native Americans.

Soon it was time to listen to the first presentation.

It was Jacksonville, Illinois, and they were attempting to place their Historic Downtown District on the National Register.

I was fascinated with their Historic Central Park which is downtown and in the midst of all the buildings they were placing on the register.

The park looks like a wheel and has all the old statutes that are still there.

No one has decided over the years to get rid of something or put something there in the midst of this wonderful green park.

At one point they discussed about the slipcovers on the buildings, and I was certainly

in the dark on that.

I asked Joan and Ed if they knew what slipcovers on buildings were all about and they did not know either.

I had to come home and look it up on the Internet.

After the war when our economy was booming we had many old buildings and people wanted nice new buildings.

They were not into the old.

Since they did not have money to tear down all the old stuff, they covered up the buildings with what they called slipcovers.

Polo simply tore stuff down like the 1900 depot and the front of the town hall.

Later when the old was back in fashion again these slipcovers were being

removed.

They are finding out some of the slipcovers helped protect the old buildings while others had helped deteriorate the old buildings.

There was quite a discussion on the buildings that had been slip covered and how they are handling them.

Then we had a couple of churches being placed on the register.

One was in Princeton and has been made from cement blocks.

Now this one I would like to see and we might have to take a road trip someday to Princeton.

Finally it was our turn and you will have to hear about that later.

Account set up for statue donations From A1 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.

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.

Mt. Morris woman dies after crash A Mt. Morris woman died July 6 after she was injured two days earlier in a motorcycle crash near the Casey’s General Store in Shannon.

A spokesman for the Winnebago County Coroner’s office said Peggy Janssen, 59, died from brain injuries suffered in the July 4 crash.

According to Carroll

County Sheriff ’s Police, Janssen was a passenger on a motorcycle driven by Gordon Vaughn, 58, of Mt. Morris.

Police said Mackenzie Wagner, 25, of Freeport, was heading south on Shannon Road after pulling away from a stop sign at the intersection with Ill. 72 at about 11:30 a.m. when her car collided with the motorcycle, which

was westbound on Ill. 72.

Vaughn was airlifted to MercyHealth Hospital in Rockford, where Janssen also was taken. His condition was unavailable.

Wagner and her passenger were not injured. She was cited for failure to yield at a stop intersection.

The crash remains under investigation.

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 Industry Award winning, 80s glam and hairband tribute band.

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.

Clarification Quality Restorations Inc., of Wood Dale, the company that will likely be doing the repairs to the Black Hawk statue, was recommended to

the Illinois Department of Natural Resources by the Illinois Conservation Foundation, according to IDNR spokesman Ed Cross.

An eye exam is a good idea, especially if things are starting to look a little fuzzy around the edges.

Larry Riffle shared the story of Peter Williams. He fought in the Civil War and lived to be 100 years old.

Before our message from Rev. Charlotte Hoppe, Jean Cunningham shared a story about a special person in her life that was an example of faith.

Her piano teacher inspired her love of music. Charlotte continued the Faces of our Faith series with the story of Jonah.

This afternoon, I went over to the home of my Aunt Linda and Uncle Paul Erisman. My cousin, Mike Sheely, was home for the weekend.

We had a nice visit with

many of my extended family members. The afternoon included meeting Mike’s new grandson.

This past Thursday evening, Karen Scholl and I met up for our PEO walking club.

We had a nice walk, even though the temperatures were a little warm.

Karen was a gracious listener as I babbled on about the events of the past weeks.

On Saturday evening, I joined my brother, Ben Bittinger, his wife, Jo, her brother Keith Chestnut, and his wife, Katie, and Ben’s neighbors, Nate and Amy Anderson, for dinner and a night out in an Escape Room.

We traveled to Rock Island

to be a part of a mystery room, where we were given the task to find clues, find keys to unlock secret boxes, and solve the mystery of the stolen jewels. It was a fun evening with lots of laughs.

At first, when we entered the room, I wasn’t exactly sure what we were looking for.

As the group found puzzles and solved them, the solution became clear.

Like in our walk with Jesus, we find our way, solving puzzles, and finding clues that bring us closer to Him. While I was away at college, I met a great group of friends that guided me to the path I had already been looking for.

Since become a Christian, I

have slowly navigated my way through life, looking to Jesus when I strayed and reading His signs to get back on my path.

As I look back over the past several years, I can see where He has brought people into my life to help me along the way.

I have been surrounded by wonderful family, friends, church family, and even coworkers that have solved life puzzles to keep me focused on Jesus.

Jesus is ready to walk with you. He is here to help each of us with decisions, big and small.

He is here to be a comfort when things don’t go right. He is here to be a friend to each of us at all times.

When we are lost, He is there to help us find our way.

For someone that is not sure where to look, the Bible is great place to start.

Finding a church family for support is another great way to get closer to Jesus.

It is easy to get lost just like I was in the mystery room.

The good news is we have a faithful friend in Jesus to help us find our way.

I hope to see you next week in our church where we will be increasing our faith by learning the lessons taught in the Bible.

Our church family welcomes you and your family. We hope you will join us for a time of praise, worship, and learning.

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

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.

to noon each day.

This year’s theme is “Camp Herman Hollow.”

Each youth is encouraged to bring their friends, Bibles, and rolls of pennies as a means of earning team points.

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.

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.
