E.D. Etnyre to give $100,000 toward statue repairs Oregon company to give major boost to fundraising efforts By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.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-year-old landmark that overlooks the Rock River from a high bluff at Lowden State Park, just east of Oregon. “As two of the community’s oldest residents, both the Eternal Indian and E. D. Etnyre & Co. have called the community of Oregon home for over 100 years; without either the community would just not be the same,” said Robin Etnyre, Corporate Communication Specialist. “For this reason, E. D. Etnyre & Co. is pleased to support the Oregon Together Black Hawk Team in the preservation of this historical landmark.”
Jan Stilson, chairman of the Black Hawk Restoration Team expressed her committee’s appreciation. “Thank you very much for supporting us,” she said. “I think it’s wonderful. It shows the connection E.D. Etnyre has to the community of Oregon and to the Black Hawk statue. They were present when it was constructed in 1910. They were very supportive then and are very supportive now. It sets an example for other businesses and corporations.” Team members said last week that they need to raise approximately $300,000 as the private portion for a
matching state grant. The total cost of the repairs is estimated at $600,000. Created by sculptor Lorado Taft in December of 1910 and dedicated the following summer, the concrete statue needs the repairs due to the ravages of weather and time. Taft called the statue the Eternal Indian and intended it to be a tribute to Native Americans. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, and on the state’s list of Most Endangered Historic Places in 2015. Over the years, despite numerous repair efforts, parts of the statue
have crumbled and fallen off. Winter weather has been especially devastating. The Oregon Together: Black Hawk Restoration Team was formed several months ago to complete the ongoing restoration efforts begun more than a decade ago by the Friends of the Black Hawk Statue. An account for donations has been set up at the Stillman Bank, and checks should be made out to Oregon Together: Black Hawk Restoration.

City okays plan for new mains
The Farmer & the Fawn Fawn is rescued after being trapped in a 12’ hole in farmer’s field
By Zach Arbogast zarbogast@oglecounty news.com
By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.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.

An engineering agreement approved on Tuesday has set in motion the first phase in replacing Oregon water mains, and it won’t affect residents’ water rates. The Oregon City Council unanimously voted to approve an engineering agreement with Willett Hofmann and Associates, Inc., to move forward with replacing and improving water mains throughout the city. The first mains being targeted are Third Street from Washington to Madison Streets, Third Street from Webster to Collins Streets, and Hill Street from Ill. 2 to Fifth Street. The four-inch-wide pipes would be replaced with eight-inch-wide pipes, putting in new hydrants, new valves, running new water services to the property lines with shutoffs, and “looping” - connecting dead ends to other mains. Looping can allow continuous service if there is a break in one water main line. Matt Hansen, Vice President of Willett Hofmann, said he’d like to put an alternate bid in which includes the main along Collins Street from Fourth to Third Streets. “Basically, what we’ll do is make the base bid those first three streets and then do an alternate bid for the other one,” said Hansen. “If it looks like it comes in at, or below, budget, and we can afford it, then we would do that Collins Street piece.” Hansen said replacing the mains has always been on the radar, but with repainting the reservoirs and working on well houses two, three, and four, they didn’t see how they could fit the project into the budget. The city borrowed $2.5 million from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s Water Pollution Control Loan Fund for the well houses and reservoir projects. The IEPA forgave $750,000 of principal. With the IEPA forgiving up to half of the amount loaned, Hansen said they had been looking at projects costing around one million, with the hope that the IEPA will forgive around $500,000. “Forgiveness of principal is not guaranteed though, is it?” asked finance commissioner Terry Schuster. “I don’t want to be committed to costs if suddenly we discover we are not receiving the forgiveness of principal.” Hansen said they will know as they get Turn to A2

Oregon man gets award for helping police officer Mike Smidt used car to help stop suspect By Zach Arbogast zarbogast@oglecounty news.com An Oregon citizen’s quick thinking and acting helped the Oregon police catch a wanted suspect. On the evening of June 16, Oregon Officer Steve Mattas was chasing a subject on foot, and the chase began to approach the intersection of Monroe Street and Fourth Street. Mike Smidt, an Oregon citizen, was driving southbound on Fourth when he noticed the chase coming toward him. Smidt immediately pulled his car
into the 300 block of Monroe, ahead of the chase, and turned his flashers on. The suspect was redirected by the action, which allowed Mattas to catch up and arrest the subject, who had been wanted for months by the police department. Smidt was recognized at the June 26 Oregon City Council meeting and given a certificate of appreciation signed by Police Chief Darin DeHaan and Mayor Ken Williams. “As a police agency, we never want citizens to put themselves in jeopardy to assist,” said DeHaan in the proclamation. “but, if they make the decision to intervene, it reinforces our beliefs that we have a great culture Mike Smidt was presented with a Certificate of of police community relations in Appreciation during the June 26 Oregon City Council meeting.

Mt. Morris woman dies after motorcycle 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. Janssen worked in the deli department at the Oregon Super Valu. Funeral services were not available as of Tuesday.

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.

French control of what is now Illinois lasted 100 years Editor’s note: Otto Dick, Oregon, has researched the people, places, and events important in the Oregon area’s history for the Ogle County Historical Society. The following is one of a series of the articles he has written. By Otto Dick This year we are celebrating the Bicentennial of Illinois, which became a state on Dec. 3, 1818. Around 1634 the French claimed this area and that lasted 100 years. In 1763 we were under the British authority for approximately 18 years. During the Revolutionary War, Col. George Rogers Clark captured Kaskaskia for the Virginia Colony in Virginia. All the land northwest of the Ohio River, including Illinois, that the Virginia Colony claimed was ceded to the United States on July 13, 1778 until March 1, 1803, when the southeastern portion of this new territory was admitted to the Union as the state of Ohio. After the U.S. obtained the land turned over to them by the Virginia Colony, Illinois was first a part of the Northwest Territory, part of the Indiana Territory, then part of the Illinois Territory and finally the 21st state admitted to the United States. We were under the French influence for 100 years, the

British influence for 15 years, the Virginia Colony for six years and under the control of the Northwest, Indiana, and Illinois Territories for 31 years. We became a state 42 years after the Declaration of Independence. So the U.S. of America is 242 years old and Illinois 200 years young. Illinois also has a long rich Indian history. Shadrach Bond served as the first Governor of Illinois after it was organized as a state from 1818 to 1822. He was the only governor serving in our first capital at Kaskaskia. Halfway during his term the capital was moved to Vandalia where it remained for 20 years. His term began on Oct. 6, 1818, approximately two months before Illinois became the 21st state to enter the
Union. Bond ran unopposed as a Democrat. After a single term in office, he returned to his farm. At this time you could not succeed yourself in office. He was born 1773 in Frederick County , Maryland, and was raised a farmer on his father’s plantation. He moved to Illinois in 1794 when it was part of the Northwest Territory. He continued his vocation as a farmer in what is now Monroe County. When the Indiana Territory was organized he served as a delegate to the 12th and 13th Congresses. (At this time what is now Illinois was located in the Indiana Territory.) In 1817 when we were then the Illinois Territory, a county was named Bond County
for Shadrach Bond, one year before he became Governor of Illinois. This honor was bestowed on him for his service as a congressional delegate of the Illinois Territory. Shadrach died of pneumonia on his farm at Kaskaskia in 1832. He was buried in Evergreen Cemetery located in Chester. In September of 2008 a storm removed the top portion of Bond’s Monument. The top portion was restored in 2012. Nathaniel Pope was another important person in our early Illinois history. He was the Illinois Territory’s delegate to Congress during the period just before Illinois achieved statehood. As a delegate he pushed for a bill for statehood. He worked to improve the bill by moving

the north border further north which made Lake Michigan part of our eastern boundary. Without this change of the northern border, both Oregon and Chicago would be located in Wisconsin. Pope was instrumental in the appointment of his cousin Ninian Edwards as the governor of the Illinois
Territory from 1809 to 1818. After Illinois became a state, Edwards was our third Governor. Oregon founder John Phelp’s wife Sarah Rogan Carlin was related to Thomas Carlin, our sixth Governor, and, of course, our seventh Governor was Thomas Ford from Oregon.

Josh Nelson attended CASE training institute Josh Nelson, agriscience educator at Oregon High School, recently attended a nine-day professional development institute at Beech Grove High School to teach the Food Science and Safety Curriculum for Agricultural Science Education (CASE) course. CASE is an instructional system that is changing the culture of agriculture programs in the United States through intense teacher professional development; inquiry-based, student-focused lessons; assessment; and certification. CASE equips teachers to elevate student experiences in the agriculture classroom, and prepares students for success in college and careers emphasizing science,
technology, engineering, and math. During the CASE Institute, Nelson spent 80 hours working through nearly every lesson in the year-long curriculum and learning how to deliver lessons in an inquiry-based way that will shift focus in the classroom from teacher-led to student-directed learning. “Students will investigate, experiment, and learn about the science and safety surrounding food within our local community. I look forward to providing to Oregon High School students inquiry based learning by critical thinking, problem solving through real life context.” said Nelson.

Jamboree stage to welcome Webb Wilder on July 20 Anderlik, Otto and Church to play July 13 Old school, real deal Roots Rocker Webb Wilder makes his Mt. Morris debut at the Jamboree with his band, the Beatnecks, on Friday, July 20 for a free two hour concert starting at 7 p.m. at the Reckmeyer Band Shell. “Long before there were Kings of Leon, Keys of Black, or Whites of Jack in Music City there was a riddle spewing prophet of roots rock and roll,” said event organizer Larry Ubben. “A bluesy blast of baritone bombast, equally versed in two glorious worlds, rock and roll. He is a force on tour and a tour de force.” A native of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and a member of the Mississippi Music Hall of Fame, Wilder crafted
his signature brand of “Mid-Atlantic” (British and American) rock and roll, mixed with country, blues, and soul. In wonderfully superb timing, the band’s 1986 debut album, “It Came from Nashville,” was recently named one of the 50 Best Southern Rock Albums of AllTime by Paste Magazine. “Webb Wilder is an evangelist for real rock ‘n’ roll,” Ubben said. “As a singer, guitarist, bandleader, film actor, songwriter and humorist, he may be roots-rock’s only true Renaissance man. His latest album, “Powerful Stuff!” will no doubt find favor with Webb’s devoted legion of fans, but its affecting songs and masterful performances are sure to bring many newcomers into the fold.” His personality led him to become one of America’s first Satellite DJs on XM Radio. He’s now the host of the

Americana Countdown show on WMOT radio in Nashville. Mt. Morris Moose Lodge 1551 will provide concessions for the evening starting at 6 p.m. Some of the items served include cheeseburgers and pulled pork, grilled Italian sausages, hand dipped corn dogs, onion rings, french fries, and cheese fries. In the event of rain, the whole
show is moved to the Pinecrest Grove Community Center, located eight blocks south of Ill. 64 on McKendrie Avenue at 500 Evergreen Drive. July 13 Performance This week’s Jamboree performance will be Anderlik, Otto and Church on Friday, July 13 at 7 p.m. at the band shell. “Those who were fortunate
enough to see them open last year’s Jam Fest in September, will fondly remember how great these guys are,” Ubben said. Three of the top bluegrass musicians in the Chicago area, Rob Anderlik, Pat Otto, and Mike Church first met at late night jam session and felt a deep musical connection from the moment they played together. Even better, they discovered they shared a wide range of musical interests, ranging from southern and classic rock, blues, swing, jazz standards, cinematic instrumentals, folk music and, of course, bluegrass. “They formed a trio in 2015
and quickly built a reputation as one of the most versatile acoustic bands in the Midwest,” Ubben said. Concessions for the evening, starting at 6 p.m., will be provided by the Mt. Morris Public Library, who will be serving Italian sausage, all beef hot dogs, chips, pop, water, homemade apple dumplings, and ice cream. The event is underwritten by Thrivent Financial, with all proceeds going to support the library. In the event of rain, the whole show is moved to the Mt. Morris Moose Family Center, 101 Moose Drive, starting at the same times.

The 2018-2019 Oregon FFA Leadership Team went to the Mt. Morris Camp and Conference Center in Mt. Morris, Wisconsin, June 2830. During this time the Leadership Team worked on how to grow together as leaders, and leaders of the FFA chapter. The Leadership Team experienced a low and high ropes course on June 29. The high ropes course consisted of a rock climbing wall blindfolded, leap of faith and zip lining. During this experience the team members were taken out
of their comfort zone and given a chance to “elevate” their leadership skills. When the team members were asked “What part of the course did you enjoy the most. Why”? Grace Mongan responded, “Ziplining because you have to climb up a spooky telephone pole and trust yourself and the equipment.” Adam Glendenning said, “I kinda liked the leap of faith because it’s fun to fall.” Austin Strite said that he agrees with Adam Glendenning. However, Tim Breedon had a different answer. “The rock climbing wall blindfolded,
because it’s hard to do stuff without your vision,” he said. This Leadership Team retreat is essential to starting the year out right as a team and growing its passion for the organization and chapter. Members of the 20182019 Leadership Team are Austin Strite, president; Adam Merrill, vice president; Rebecca Hough, reporter; Sam Bower, secretary; Adam Glendenning, treasurer; Tim Breedon, sentinel; Grace Mongan, Strengthening Ag Committee Chair; Megan Buttens, Growing Leaders; and Tyler Grant, Building Communities.

School district lists dates for pre-participation drug testing KSB Corporate Health Services will be doing Drug, Alcohol and Nicotine testing on all Oregon students who are wishing to participate in any athletic extra-curricular activities for the upcoming school year. Testing dates at the Blackhawk Center will be as follows: Thursday, July 26, 8 a.m. –
11:45 a.m. and 1– 5:45 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 2, 8 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. and 1 – 3:45 p.m. Please call Oregon High School at 732-5300 Ext. 4041 to schedule an appointment. There is a $35 fee for the mandatory testing program. If you are unable to attend either of the dates listed above, please call KSB Oregon Clinic (815-732-3151) to schedule an
appointment at their facility in Oregon. When calling for an appointment in Oregon, please identify yourself as a student at Oregon High School. You also must present a receipt of payment at the Oregon office. All payments must be made at the Blackhawk Center Athletic office. In order to conduct the testing at either site a
parent consent form must be presented at the time of the testing. Students CANNOT be tested without the official parent consent form. Consent forms may be found on the school website listed below. Every student in grades 6-12 planning to participate in athletics within the Oregon School District must have a
current physical, concussion form, and the consent/registration form on file in the office before they will be allowed to practice. These forms can be turned into the office at DLR Jr. High for junior high students or Blackhawk Center for high school students at any time before the first practice of the athlete’s first sport.
Sports physicals are good for one calendar year, at which time they must be renewed. Any fees required and completion of the pre-participation drug test will be due before the first competition (game, race, match, etc.)
QB if called on. “Nobody is set for a position,” Schneiderman said. “Seniors are not promised a spot. Juniors want to play and we have a talented group of sophomores that might want time. You’re going have to earn it.” Life gets more difficult the following season when the IHSA imposes a rule that states a player can’t be in both a fresh-soph or varsity game. “I know the IHSA is trying to make things safe, but that can cause more problems than help,” Schneiderman said. “It may force an injured player to keep on playing because there isn’t a back-up. It will be a difficult situation for schools all over.” As far as safety, Schneiderman is satisfied with where Oregon is. “We will put our kids in position to be safe,” Schneiderman said. “We are responsible as coaches and have a great trainer in John Cain.” Still, that may not be enough safeguard for parents that are bombarded by the news and social media on the dangers of football. “When it comes down to it, parents need to make the best
decision for their kids at an appropriate age,” he added. “Maybe kids are starting too early, whether it’s football, basketball or baseball. By the time they are in high school, they can be sick of it.” With the Big Northern a 10team conference for football, the Hawks will no longer play non-conference games, which could be a first for the school. Other than Byron and Dixon, it was a rare down year for the league in 2017, especially with Rockford Lutheran and Stillman Valley with losing records. “The BNC is still a phenomenal conference,” Schneiderman said. “Stillman Valley won’t be down long. As far as Lutheran, you don’t really know from year-to-year what they have.” Schneiderman sees Byron, with its large roster, as the team to beat again. “Dixon will be tough again and Genoa-Kingston will be solid with all those juniors that played for them last year,” he added. “Rock Falls and ‘Bago usually have great athletes.” Oregon opens up the season April 24 at Lutheran and one thing is certain. Schneiderman will have the team physically ready to go.
Information on forms and fees will also be found on our website, www.ocusd.net.
Sports Column An early look at 2018-19 OHS sports teams By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com With the start of school a month away, let’s see what going on with Oregon football and basketball. The big news from girls basketball is Kristy Eckardt stepping down as head coach. Eckardt compiled a 123-116 record in eight years at the helm, including two regional titles. I’ll miss Kristy. She was knowledgeable, level headed and easy to communicate with. With all the time constraints put on coaches these days, it’s understandable why she would want to spend more time at home with a growing family, besides her regular job. The boys basketball team recently wrapped up its June camp and coach Quinn Virgil sees good things for the future. It’s at least a year away, but the Hawks have the potential to as good as the 2015-16 squad that went 21-9, Oregon’s only winning season in the last five
years. With Jackson Buck and Dalton Hermes as the only returning seniors, Virgil will be relying on a talented junior group and sophomore Gatlin Good. “We’ve shown flashes of being pretty good, but our numbers are still down,” Virgil said. “We used seven guys in summer league and playing two games in a hot gym is tough.” According to Virgil, Trey Woolsey has gotten fundamentally stronger and more proficient at getting to the basket. Woolsey has been a varsity fixture since his freshman year and is the key to Oregon’s success this year and next. Another piece of the puzzle is still-developing Riley Birnbaum, who can play multiple positions, including point guard. “If he comes along, we could be pretty good,” Virgil said. “Riley gives us a lot of versatility. I like the fact we have more than one person that can play the point.” Ryker Finch, the most physical of the bunch, continues to hone his basketball skills. “Ryker has improved his shooting and gotten better at
handling the ball,” Virgil said. “He also gives us a strong athletic presence.” The program also received a boost with two new juniors out in Josh Sitze and Rockford Guilford transfer Noah Campos. “Josh came back out and has a knack for making things happen. He’s pretty long at 6-2 or 6-3,” Virgil said. “Noah is a really good defender.” Besides Good, another sophomore expected to see varsity time is Owen Ketter. “Owen has impressed me this summer,” Virgil said. Buck returns for his fourth year in the program and will provide ball handling and shooting. Hermes broke his wrist in the first summer game, but is expected back for football. Like basketball, football is fighting the numbers game. Coach Nick Schneiderman expects to have 20-25 varsity players. There are adequate sophomore numbers, but a small freshman group. “Hopefully, that will improve,” Schneiderman said. “We’ll concentrate on the kids doing the work, instead of chasing them.” That’s a good strategy. If kids

aren’t excited about being out for a sport, begging or coercing them won’t work. Either they will drag team morale down or quit on you because their heart isn’t in it. For Oregon to be successful, they will have to out-work other teams. That, and controlling the line up front. “We want to be highly motivated,” he said. “We need more than one or two guys to be leaders. A true team takes care of itself.” One positive is experience and depth at quarterback with Calvin Sullivan back and Finch coming up from the sophomore squad. Hermes can even play

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.

Ronald J. Davis Ronald J. Davis, 71, Mt. Morris, died on Thursday July 5, 2018 at the University of Wisconsin Hospital, Madison, Wisconsin.
