Orangeville Broncos top Pearl City in sectional softball

By Trenten Scheidegger CORRESPONDENT

The Orangeville Broncos have continued to find success in their softball program, eclipsing the 20-win mark for the fourth season in a row.

Following a loss to Durand on May 20, just their second loss of the season, the Broncos went on a six-game winning streak that carried into the postseason.

After finishing the regular season with a record of 17-2, the Broncos found themselves as one of the top teams in the area as they prepared to make a run in the playoffs. On June 3, Orangeville made quick work of their first regional opponents in the Galena Pirates, whom they had beat 11-6 in the regular season.

In their second matchup, the Broncos got off to a hot start as they held a 5-0 lead after just two innings. They

would continue to pile it on until they won by way of the 10-run mercy rule with the Broncos up 12-2. Tessa Janecke led the way offensively for Orangeville, going 2-for-3 with a two-run home run. Laney Holland was perfect at the plate, 3-for-3 with a double. Tori Plowman pitched all five innings with just three hits allowed in the game.

The next day, Orangeville played host to the 10-3 Eastland Cougars in the regional championship. Once again the Broncos were dominant as they broke the game wide open with four runs in the bottom of the fourth to go up 7-0.

Thanks to a run in the bottom of the sixth, Orangeville was able to go up 10-0, ending another postseason game early.

Plowman threw another impressive game, pitching a six-inning shutout with two hits allowed and six strike-

outs. The Broncos had production from up and down the lineup, as five batters had multiple hits in the game.

Janecke led the way with two home runs and three RBIs, McKayla Riemer went 3-for4 with a double, and Megan Holder was 2-for-4 with a double.

After becoming regional champs for the third straight season, the Broncos headed into sectionals with plenty of momentum. Orangeville was playing some of the best ball they had played all season, at just the right time. That momentum continued into the sectionals tournament as they faced off with the Dakota Indians, a team they had beat twice in the regular season.

The Broncos had little trouble with the Indians, as a six-run second inning led way to a 7-3 victory for Orangeville. The six-run inning

came after an hour-long rain delay, which possibly shifted the momentum into the Broncos’ hands. When play resumed, the Orangeville offense came to life as Holder hit a three-run home run and Riemer hit a two-run double.

It was their fifth win in a row as the Broncos continued to cruise through the postseason.

On June 10, Orangeville faced off with the Pearl City Wolves in the sectional championship with an opportunity to compete in super sectionals on the line.

Both teams took a couple innings to calm their nerves as the game went scoreless through two. Orangeville scored the first run of the game in the top of the third when Janecke reached base to drive in Megan Carlisle. The

Pearl City girls make sectional run to end successful season

By Trenten Scheidegger CORRESPONDENT

Despite losing the last game of the regular season, the Pearl City Wolves varsity softball team managed to take their momentum from a 14-5 campaign into the postseason. Their run

began June 3, when the Wolves hosted the Warren-Stockton Warhawks in an early regional matchup. Pearl City came into the game as favorites as the Warhawks held a record of 7-8, despite being 6-2 in conference play.

Both teams took a few innings to settle in, but the Warhawks grabbed the first lead as they scored a single run in the top of the fourth. The Wolves would respond quickly, however. With two outs in the bottom of the fourth, Cheyenne Hand-

saker hit a double to center field to spark some momentum. The next at bat, Brianna Stager singled to right, driving in Handsaker and tying the game at 1.

The Wolves would score again in the bottom of the fifth.

This time, Sydney Wright doubled to center and was brought in to score on a ground ball by Kenzee Evans.

The run given up in the top of the fourth was the only run Pearl City would allow all game. The Wolves would tack on an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth when Mattie Schauer hit into a groundout, bringing in Emma Boyer to score. Pearl City would go on to win the low-scoring affair by a score of 3-1.

Handsaker played a significant role in the win, as she pitched seven innings with 17 strikeouts and one earned run, while going 1-for-3 with a run scored at the plate.

The next day, the Wolves were set to face a tough oppo-

nent in a 16-1 Forreston Cardinals team. Forreston would jump out to an early lead with a run in the bottom of the first, but that was the only run either team would score until the sixth. After failing to score in the first five innings, the Wolves finally cracked the scoreboard when Brea Musser hit a sacrifice fly that allowed Handsaker to tag up and score.

Forreston would retake the lead in the bottom half with a lone run to go up 2-1, however.

In the top of the seventh, the Wolves managed to rally in two runs, putting the pressure on the Cardinals. Consecutive singles by Bryn Solt, Madyson Stephan, Handsaker and Stager allowed Pearl City to score two important runs in the final inning, to go up 3-1.

Handsaker was electric from the pitcher’s circle in the bottom half, striking out the three final batters in order to win the regional championship. Handsaker tallied 14 total strike-

outs in seven innings pitched, while allowing just two hits all game. She was impressive at the plate as well, going 3-for4 with one run scored and one RBI. Stephan and Solt were both productive offensively, as they both went 2-for-4 with a run scored.

After being named regional champs, the Wolves were set up to face off with the Durand Bulldogs in the sectional semifinals on June 8. The Bulldogs held a 15-3 record prior to the sectional matchup.

Pearl City managed to score four runs in the fourth inning alone. The biggest hit of the game came off the bat of Schauer, who hit a double to center with the bases loaded, driving in three key runs.

The Wolves would score one final insurance run in the top of the fifth off a home run

by Handsaker. That lone run turned out to be the difference

“We are extremely excited to be bringing this iconic show to Timber Lake Playhouse,” Paul Stancato, TLP artistic director, said in the release. “The music is such an inspiration for many young theater artists and what better way to present it than with our all-area teens?”

In life, pain comes with a purpose it’s in the wake of grief.

Recently I’ve experienced this second type of pain.

Like giving birth, it’s hard to describe or imagine unless you’ve been there.

At first grief felt empty.

It still does, sometimes. But I’ve come to believe that, like giving birth, grief can be pain with a purpose — if we allow it to be.

Hardships in life come with opportunity. Bear with me. I speak from experience.

Hardships, pain, grief — they provide for a new perspective. The old reality exists no more. It is gone.

That can be extremely difficult, but it also comes with a new horizon. The future has changed, but change doesn’t have to be completely devastating. What you had planned is gone but

When I was pregnant, I anticipated the birth of my precious babies, but I dreaded the pain of the actual experience. Hey, I’m human.

But I came to terms with the idea of “labor pains” because I understood the end game. Pregnancy, labor and the physical pain of giving birth, they all lead to a very desired outcome: a beautiful baby — a brand-new life. It is nothing short of a miracle and certainly worth the sacrifice and effort needed to get to the end game of 10 fingers and 10 toes.

So, even though I dreaded the pains of labor, I welcomed them. I called them “pain with a purpose.”

Because although the pain was real, it came with a purposeful outcome — a human being. I welcomed this pain with a purpose. I embraced it. I anticipated it with wonder and awe.

I was fortunate to experience this pain on four different occasions. Each time it changed my life for the better.

Pain comes into our life for a reason. Sometimes it’s to deliver a baby. At other times

go while chewing. Clenching and or grinding your teeth can lead to tooth damage, jaw pain, headaches, joint damage, arthritis in the jaw joint, receding gums and loss of teeth.

The type of nightguard will depend on the type of bruxism habit, contributing factors, accompanying symptoms and extent of damage. While a nightguard is designed to prevent damage from involuntary bruxism while you sleep, your dentist may prescribe wearing it during short-term daytime activities, such as driving in heavy traffic, as you work to break the habit of grinding or clenching under stress. You should not wear your nightguard during the day unless under your dentist’s specific orders.

Splints treat disorders related to how your upper and lower jaw fit together, primarily to support healing from an injury or to reduce inflammation. The type of splint prescribed is dependent on the diagnosis. They reduce pain, promote healing and protect further injury. They are generally worn for six to eight months. Depending on the level of trauma, full healing

and stabilization of the joints and bite may require that the splint be converted to a nightguard or orthotic. They require regular evaluation and adjustments throughout the healing process.

There are a variety of splints for the temporomandibular joint (which connects your jawbone to your skull).

The choice depends on the diagnosis of the disorder, whether a muscle disorder, combination muscle and disc disorder, advanced disc and muscle disorders, chronic disorder or acute traumatic injury and the extent of inflammation.

Orthotics bring about a permanent change to the bite, in order to restore the teeth into a more functional position.

Changing the bite requires time, so that the muscles and joints can adjust, heal and stabilize. It also requires ongoing professional evaluation.

As mentioned above, orthotics may be used to heal and stabilize severely damaged temporomandibular joints.

Dr. Stephan Petras is an Illinois-licensed general dentist at the Stockton Dental Center.

Oncology nurse receives DAISY honors Registered nurse Sue Campbell, a Monroe Clinic oncology nurse, recently received the DAISY Award. Campbell has been a nurse with Monroe Clinic for 22 years.

A recently retired teammate, Patty Syse, nominated Campbell for the honor.

“Sue saw the need for nurse navigator services and was instrumental in creating and fulfilling this role,” Syse said in the nomination. “She has a presence with patients, putting them at ease as their treatment is planning.

“Words used by families to describe Sue are, ‘You made me feel heard,’ (and) ‘We felt special, as if we were the only ones you were caring for,’ and

‘you always go above and beyond.’”

The DAISY Award is a nationwide program that “celebrates the extraordinary clinical skill and compassionate care delivered by nurses every day,” according to a Monroe Clinic news release. Monroe Clinic employs more than 300 nurses serving patients throughout southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois.

Monroe Clinic officials ask the community to help spotlight the extraordinary contributions of nurses like Campbell by nominating them for the DAISY Award. Nomination forms are available by going online to www.monroePHOTO SUBMITTED Shopper’s Guide clinic.org/daisy.

State enters full reopening phase as governor reflects on pandemic decisions

By Peter Hancock CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

Illinois entered Phase 5 of the COVID-19 reopening plan June 11, meaning businesses and organizations can resume normal activity, although some limited restrictions will remain in place.

Under Phase 5 guidelines, capacity limits are being lifted for both indoor and outdoor activities while people who have been fully vaccinated are no longer required to wear face coverings in most settings and businesses are no longer required to enforce mask mandates or maintain social distancing rules, although they may continue to do so if they choose.

People who have not been fully vaccinated are still encouraged to wear face coverings, and all people are still required to wear face coverings while traveling on public transportation, in congregate settings, in health care settings as well as in schools, day cares and educational institutions.

Those changes come 15 months after Gov. JB Pritzker first issued a disaster declaration in response to the pandemic which, as of late last week, had infected nearly 1.4

million people in Illinois and claimed 23,014 lives.

Due to the wide availability of vaccines, which first became publicly available in January, new infections and hospitalization rates have reached their lowest points since the pandemic began.

The Illinois Department of Public Health reported June 10 that 68 percent of Illinois adults had received at least one dose of vaccine and 51 percent were fully vaccinated.

IDPH also reported June 10 that only 366 new cases of COVID-19 had been detected in the previous 24 hours, a seven-day average case positivity rate of 1 percent.

As of last week, 764 people in Illinois were reported to be hospitalized with COVID-19.

Of those, 209 patients were in intensive care units, and 103 of those patients were on ventilators. That was the lowest number of hospital beds in use since the state began reporting the numbers as well.

During an interview with Capitol News Illinois last week, Pritzker said that even though the state was ready to enter the final reopening phase, he was not yet prepared to lift the disaster proclamation he first issued on March

9, 2020, which has served as the legal basis behind scores of executive orders such as a ban on residential evictions and utility shutoffs. It has been extended monthly since that date.

“It’s a new chapter, of course, in the pandemic but we aren’t quite ready yet to remove the disaster declaration,” Pritzker said. “There are things that need to be ramped down and, you know, making sure of course that we actually are seeing continued decrease of cases and hospitalizations.”

The March 9 disaster declaration was followed by an executive order closing K-12 schools to in-person learning.

Pritzker then issued an order closing bars and restaurants to on-premises service and a general stay-at-home order that effectively shut down arts of the state’s economy.

Asked whether he wished he would have handled things differently, Pritzker said he had to work with the information he had at the time.

“I can tell you that if I knew then what I know now, I’m sure I might have made some different decisions,” he said.

“But that just wasn’t something available to me.”

Cracker Crusted Squash Casserole Soon yellow squash will be coming out of the garden.

This interesting vegetable side dish is a perfect summer complement to any meal. It is interesting to make, and it is easy also.

5 C. water 2 lbs. fresh yellow squash, cut crosswise ¼-inch thick 2/3 C. chopped onion 1¼ t. salt, divided 1 sleeve whole saltine crackers 4½ C. shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided 2/3 C. sour cream 2/3 C. mayonnaise ¼ C. heavy whipping cream 2 eggs, lightly beaten ¼ t. garlic powder ¼ t. pepper 1 C. coarsely crushed saltine crackers 1 T. unsalted butter, melted In a large saucepan, bring water, squash, onion and 1 t. salt to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until squash is just tender, about seven minutes. Drain well.

Preheat the oven to 350.

Spray a 15-by-10 inch baking sheet with cooking spray.

Line the bottom of the prepared pan with whole crackers. Sprinkle 3 ½ C. cheese onto crackers. Bake until cheese is melted, about five minutes. Leave oven on. In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayo, cream, eggs, garlic powder, pepper and remaining salt. Spread squash mixture onto melted cheese. Pour sour cream mixture all over the squash.

Sprinkle with remaining cup of cheese. In a small bowl, stir together crushed crackers and melted butter; sprinkle onto casserole. Bake until center is set, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle with pepper. Let cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes before serving.

Chicken Cordon-Blue Roll Ups The dish called chicken cordon bleu is made of chicken wrapped in a slice of ham with cheese and then breaded.

The “cordon blue” came from the French and meant blue ribbon cook. It was coined because of the blue ribbon or sash worn by the highest order of knighthood under the French Bourbon kings. I guess this chicken recipe is fit for a king. Enjoy this good entrée.

2 large boneless, skinless, chicken breast halves, sliced in half horizontally, or 4 cutlets Salt and pepper Cheese log (recipe below) 8 slices thinly sliced deli ham 3 T. mayonnaise 1 T. Dijon mustard 2 C. finely crushed corn flakes Cheese Log 4 oz. softened cream cheese 1 garlic clove, minced 1 T. mayonnaise 1 t. lemon juice ½ C. ricotta cheese Cheese Log: Combine ingredients in medium bowl with mixer until well mixed.

Place mixture on a piece of plastic wrap and form into a log. Refrigerate until firm enough to slice.

Chicken: Preheat oven to 375. Line a rimmed baking sheet with wire rack. Arrange chicken in a single layer on a large cutting board; cover with plastic wrap. Gently pound with the flat side of a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy skillet to an even one-quarter-inch thickness.

Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Spread cheese log evenly to the edges of each cutlet. Overlap two slices of sliced ham on each cutlet to fully cover. Starting from one short end, tightly roll up cutlets and secure each with a toothpick. Combine mayo and Dijon mustard. Brush with mayo/mustard mixture to evenly coat. Roll in crushed corn flakes, pressing with your hands as necessary to fully coat. Transfer to prepared baking sheet, seam sides down. Bake until cooked through and crisp, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool slightly. Remove toothpicks and slice; place on serving plate and serve. Garnish with parsley.

I am hoping she gets them away from her plants because she often shares some with me. (Nothing like being a little selfish!)

er. We need an all-day rain, but it doesn’t look like that is coming.

A friend dropped off fresh strawberries that she and her family had picked.

They were wonderful; there is no better taste than garden strawberries that have been grown locally. I have had strawberry sundaes and strawberry shortcake.

Thanks to my garden angels who made my evenings a treat.

I know that things are coming in the garden; one of my friends is fighting the bunnies who have been feasting on her green beans popping up. She has tried something to ward them off;

other futures lie before you, if you are willing to accept and embrace them.

Embrace them.

Grief provides an opportunity for growth. In faith. In existence. In being.

For me, it’s provided a new outlook on life beyond life.

Most of us have a need to believe in something beyond what we know in the here and now. Grief has helped me hone my own beliefs and faith.

Have faith.

Pain gives you a new outlook on priorities. What you thought was important might not even register on the radar once you’ve been thrust into true, life-altering pain. That can give you the gift of clarity and help you take your seemingly chaotic life and put it in its most simplistic form. Life priorities become simple when you understand, to your core, what’s really important, Understand what’s important.

Grief has made me, forced me, allowed me, to realize my strength. If I’d known my current path a year ago, I would have said, “There’s absolutely no way I can endure that, much less conquer it.” I didn’t feel weak, but in some ways I was. Grief didn’t allow me to be weak. It forced, helped, allowed me to conquer my own fears.

Conquer your fears.

When my husband first passed on, I read that grief takes who you were and completely morphs you into someone you never could have imagined, pre-grief.

Your world has changed, so it’s only logical that your very essence changes as well. Change doesn’t have to be bad — even when it was unplanned and anything but your first choice. Change allows for possibilities and new beginnings. It allows you, in essence, to give birth to a brand-new person.

Give birth to the possibilities. Give birth to yourself.
