Officials: Leave fireworks to professionalsBy ADAM POULISSE

[email protected]

The “oohs” and “aahs” thatfireworks usually produce alsocan result in serious burns andproperty damage.

That’s why the consensus isclear among local firefighters:“Leave it to the professionals.” Be-sides, most fireworks are illegal inIllinois.

“We want you to go and [see] abigger, better fireworks show puton by the municipalities,” saidJim Ward, fire prevention coordi-nator for Sycamore Fire Depart-ment. “Those are professionalswho are trained to set up the largefireworks display.”

Three Fourth of July celebra-tions are scheduled in DeKalbCounty this weekend, in Shabbo-na, Kirkland and DeKalb.

“Those guys stand backfrom the fireworks,” Ward said.“They’re set up in more safe areaslike a big park around a residen-tial neighborhood. Those guys aretrained at a much higher level andknow more than [the] public.”

According to the IllinoisFire Safety Alliance, 11,400 fire-works-related injuries were treat-ed in emergency departmentsacross America in 2013, an in-crease from 2012. Most of thoseinjuries were reported from mid-June to mid-July of that year, and40 percent were to children young-er than 15.

The city of DeKalb municipalcode chapter 52 defines fireworksas both allowable and prohibited,meaning that novelty fireworksincluding poppers, smoke devices

such as snakes, and glow wormsand sparklers are allowed, excepton city property or in parks.

In Illinois, selling fireworks isa Class B misdemeanor, punish-able with a fine of up to $1,500 andnot more than six months in jail.If it’s more than three pounds, itbecomes a Class A misdemeanor,punishable with a fine of up to$2,500 and as long as a year in jail.

Those possessing or lightingfireworks can be charged a finefor a petty offense – not to exceed$1,000, DeKalb County Sheriff Rog-er Scott said. If they fail to adhereto the warning, it will become aClass A misdemeanor.

“Generally, we find people com-ply with this,” Scott said. “If theydon’t, we can charge under thecounty ordinance or state law.”

The Consumer Product SafetyCommission has several recom-mendations for fireworks use,including keeping them out ofchildren’s hands, always havingadult supervision, never trying tore-light or pick up fireworks thathaven’t fully ignited and keepinga bucket of water or hose nearby.

“The best way to protect yourfamily and your home is to attendpublic firework displays and leaveit to the professionals who havesafeguards,” DeKalb Deputy FireChief Greg Hoyle said.

Sycamore Fire Chief Pete Po-larek said he discourages even theuse of sparklers.

“Many times they are put intothe hands of children and can emittemperatures up to 1,300 degrees,”Polarek said. “If not properly han-dled, you have a high risk of burnsor other injuries.”

Oncken resigns fromDeKalb County Board

By ADAM [email protected]

DeKALB – District 3 Republican RileyOncken has announced his resignationeffective July 2, the day after a specialDeKalb County Board meeting.

He is the second member to resign inthe past week, following District 4 Demo-crat Joseph Bassett.

“This season of life has become in-creasingly busy with the needs of my fam-ily and my growing business, and I amfinding that I am not able to dedicate thetime and energy necessary to effectivelyand diligently serve my constituents inthe position in which they have entrustedme,” Oncken said in a letter of resignationdated Wednesday. “Rather than give thejob anything less than 100 percent, I feelit more prudent to turn over my seat tosomeone who can serve my constituentsas they deserve.”

It is now up to DeKalb County Republi-cans to recommend a replacement for On-cken, an attorney with an office on NorthMaple Street in Sycamore.

“It’s a little bit unique with Riley be-cause him and I are from the same dis-trict,” said County Board Chairman MarkPietrowski Jr., a Democrat. “It’s been nicegetting to know him a little better.”

Both recently vacated seats probablywill not be filled until August, Pietrowskisaid.

“It just gives both the Democrat andRepublican parties an opportunity to [rec-ommend] a highly qualified, responsibleindividual for the board,” Pietrowskisaid. “In Mr. Oncken’s case ... I imagine

he’ll still be involved in some way in help-ing the board any way he can.”

Oncken’s resignation will take effect af-ter the special meeting Wednesday, whenthe board will vote to rezone Fairdale af-ter it was mostly leveled in the April 9tornado.

“When I look back on the work that theboard has done to keep DeKalb Countya wonderful place to live and work, I amproud of what we have done,” Onckensaid. “I will remember my service on theboard fondly and anticipate returning topublic service in one form or another inthe future.”

Oncken served on the County Boardfrom 2008 to 2012 and was reappointed in2013 to Ken Andersen’s vacated seat inDistrict 3 after losing a 2012 re-electionbid. Oncken retained his seat in a raceagainst Democratic political newcomerJoshua Orr in the November 2014 election.

Second member to resign in past month“Rather than give thejob anything less than100 percent, I feel itmore prudent to turnover my seat to some-one who can serve my constituents

as they deserve.”

Sandwich Fair to consider reducingcash-prize value, entertainment budget

By KATIE [email protected]

SANDWICH – The Sandwich Fairshould go off without a hitch despitelooming state budget cuts, fair boardPresident Larry Dannewitz said.

The fair draws from 190,000 to240,000 people to the fairgrounds an-nually, and operates mainly withfunds from the previous years’ admis-sion fees, eliminating any panic aboutnot receiving state funding, Danne-witz said.

“I don’t want to sound like I’mbragging, but a lot of fairs are notin the same situation that we’re in,”Dannewitz said. “We draw some pret-ty good crowds.”

Gov. Bruce Rauner on June 12listed funding to cover fair buildingrehabilitation and prizes, or “premi-ums” in county fair parlance, as partof his proposed cuts should the newRepublican governor and the Demo-cratic-controlled General Assemblyfail to hash out a budget deal by theJuly 1 start of the state’s 2016 fiscalyear.

Democrats call the threats sym-bolic because the money would ceaseflowing anyway without a budget.Rauner last week vetoed most ofthe budget proposals from the Leg-islature, although he has signed aneducation funding plan for publicschools. The legislature’s 2016 budgetplan was out of balance by more than$3 billion.

Luckily for Dannewitz, the plan-ners for the Sandwich Fair generallytry not to rely on state funding, andplanning for next year’s fair won’t be

any different, he said.“We’re going into this year assum-

ing we’re not getting any state funds,”he said. “If we get them, wonderful. Ifwe don’t, we’ll have to work aroundit.”

Lesser-value prizes and “lower en-tertainment goals” are the two largestforeseeable changes, should the fairnot receive state funding, Dannewitzsaid.

“As far as our fair, I think we’regoing to have to look at the premiumsagain and we’re going to have to ad-just the premiums,” he said. “We dohave a disclaimer saying that if forsome reason the state ever does not

come through, we have the right tolower the premium.”

However, changing prize valueswould be an uncomfortable compro-mise for the fair’s board members,Dannewitz said.

“If we’re telling you we’re going togive you $100 to win a prize we wantto give you $100,” he said.

Currently, state funding for theSandwich Fair only is about 10 percentof its budget, Dannewitz estimated.

“Hopefully, if the crowd remainsand everyone enjoys it, we’ll be ableto provide the entertainment we’veprovided for many years,” Dannewitzsaid.

Bicyclists maketheir way Saturdaythrough the Tourde Farms course inDeKalb County.

Nick Brooks –For Shaw Media

Bicyclists hit the roadKirkland family farm hosts riders during DeKalb County stopBy KATIE SMITH

[email protected]

KIRKLAND – DawnCarlson’s lawn housedthree cows, two sheep, alitter of kittens and about1,400 people Saturday.

For the past threeyears, Carlson’s farmhas served as the firstrest stop during Tour deFarms, a statewide bicy-cle race that took placeSaturday and Sunday, tohelp raise money for theNational Multiple Sclero-sis Society.

People pledged do-nation money for biketeams, individual riders,or to donate directly to theMultiple Sclerosis Society,said Jeremy Barewin, vicepresident of marketingand communication forthe Greater Illinois Chap-ter of the National Multi-ple Sclerosis Society.

Little is known aboutmultiple sclerosis, adisease that attacks thecentral nervous systemand disrupts the flow ofinformation to the brain,and between the brainand body, according to thesociety’s website.

“It affects everyoneand to know I’m helpingsomeone else, and my kidsand my family – this is ourvacation,” Carlson said.

Carlson began toyingwith the idea of volunteer-ing with the national orga-nization when her mother,Ione Gibson, becamechronically ill during her15-year battle with MS.

When Gibson died in2012, Carlson and her fam-ily continued to fight thedisease by donating to theorganization and volun-teering for Tour de Farms,Carlson said.

“As my mom would

become more and morechronically ill, I thought,‘I wonder if I could be arest stop,’ ” Carlson said.“I just dared to make a callto the Illinois MS Society.”

Carlson told the orga-nization her story and shewas willing to help howev-er she was needed.

“You know how somethings are just meant tobe. About three weekslater the MS Society got anotice they lost a propertyand they’d need to find an-other rest stop,” she said.“I’m just two miles awayfrom where that originalrest stop was.”

Carlson, along with herhusband, brother, three

children, and three niecesand nephews, call them-selves Ione’s Busy Bees,and have been planningfor one weekend all year,she said.

Their Kirkland farmis the only family-ownedfarm rest stop in the race,Carlson said.

This year, the stop in-cluded a petting zoo, craftsand live music to keep theriders’ spirits high duringtheir breaks.

Carlson’s family anda team of about 30 volun-teers help to relax the rid-ers, make sure they are ingood health and send themoff on the next stretch ofthe race, Barewin said.

“It’s really been a greathelp and they’ve beengreat volunteers for theorganization,” he said.

The organization regis-tered more than 1,800 rid-ers and raised more than$1.3 million by Saturday.The National MS Society’sgoal is to raise $1.6 millionby the end of July, whenthey officially will stopaccepting donations forthe race, Barewin said.

“The Tour de Farmsride is the second largestannual fundraiser for theGreater Illinois Chapter,”he said. “It’s a huge part ofour yearly fundraising andawareness.”

Carlson and her family

spent the night beforethe race making hand-made bumblebee lawnornaments from papercups and pipe cleaners.By Saturday evening, thebees were decorated withpaper tags and each riders’hand-written reason forparticipating in the race.Someday, Carlson willlook back at them on thepages of a scrapbook andknow she is in company inher fight for MS research,she said.

“Hopefully one day,there will be a cure for itso nobody will go throughhaving to support theirfamilies and people affect-ed by MS,” she said.

Sandwich schools qualify formore federal fundingBy PAT WALLIS

Sandwich Record correspondent

SANDWICH – The Title I sta-tus for Sandwich Schools haschanged from “targeted- assist-ed” to “school-wide” status. Thataction was taken by the Sand-wich School Board at a recentmeeting.

Title I is a federal grant pro-gram intended to improve theacademic achievement of low-in-come students. The school dis-trict’s allocation is determinedby the federal low-income censuscount.

“There are two distinct pro-gram structures for schools re-ceiving federal funds under Ti-tle I,” Superintendent of SchoolsRick Schmitt said. “The twoprograms are targeted-assistedand school-wide. To qualify fora school-wide program, a school

must have a poverty count of atleast 40 percent, based on thefederal requirements to receivea free and/or reduced lunch.During 2014-2015, our povertycount was at or above 40 percentat all six attendance centers.”

Schmitt explained by saying,”Moving to a school-wide pro-gram offers our district a signif-icant advantage over a target-ed-assisted program, as we willbe able to consolidate and use thefederal Title I funds to upgradethe entire educational programas opposed to using the fundsonly for targeted programs.”

In other matters, the boardwas briefed on Senate Bill 7 (SB7)that pertains to the PerformanceEvaluation Reform Act that mustbe implemented during the 2016-2017 school term.

“For the past two years, theschool district has been examin-ing evaluation options to meetSenate Bill 7 regulations. Thecommittee includes a very goodcross section of teachers and ad-ministrators,” Schmitt said.

PERA incorporates both pro-fessional practice and student

growth ratings into staff mem-bers’ overall evaluation.

With the professional practicephase, four different domainswill be evaluated: Domain I, plan-ning and preparation; Domain II,classroom environment; DomainIII, instruction; and Domain V,professional responsibilities.

Schmitt concluded by say-ing, “The entire committee hasput forth a lot of time and effortin preparing the evaluation in-struments. We believe we are po-sitioned well to pilot the programduring the 2015-2016 school year.The program will be fully imple-mented in 2016-2017.”

• Sandwich school officialshave been invited by the cityof Sandwich to attend a meet-ing with Webster Universityofficials. Schmitt reported thatWebster University was visitingSandwich to learn about the com-

munity, as well as to consider apossible satellite location for itsprogram.

• Employed by the board were:Mark Aska, Dummer School mu-sic; Andrew Hellemeier, Sand-wich Middle School assistantprincipal and athletic director;Matilda McGuire, SandwichHigh School social studies andhead softball coach; MadelineJustice, Sandwich High SchoolSpanish; Jake Wegener, Sand-wich Middle School social stud-ies; Rebecca Boyer, HaskinSchool pre-kindergarten teach-er; and Shawn Mager, accountspayable.

• A leave of absence was grant-ed to Melissa Baggett, HaskinSchool bilingual teacher.

The next regular meeting ofthe Sandwich School Board willbe at 7 p.m. July 21 at SandwichMiddle School.

“For the past two years,the school district has beenexamining evaluation op-tions to meet Senate Bill 7regulations. The committeeincludes a very good crosssection of teachers and

administrators.”

Rung: ‘We’ll do everything we can to keep you informed’

We are the nation’s thirdoldest, continuously ownedand operated publishingcompany.

The addition of thesenewspapers means muchto me on a personal basis. Igrew up reading the OswegoLedger and then the Led-ger-Sentinel. I still have sev-eral family members wholive in Montgomery. Earlyin my career, I was a writerand an ad salesperson forthe Beacon-News in Aurora.I attended Boulder HillElementary and graduatedfrom Oswego High School.

Of course, that was a longtime ago. (Some might say along, long time ago, but let’snot split hairs here.) Onememory of my youth illus-trates just how much thingshave changed since then.

I played for the “RoyalBlue Team” in the Oswe-goland Babe Ruth League.Most of our games wereplayed at the old juniorhigh, which now housesthe Oswego Family YMCA.

Riding my bike all the wayfrom Boulder Hill (not thedoor-to-door parental shut-tle service that is standardtoday), I was running a littlelate for one particular game.Pedaling as fast as I could, Iwas about to cross FranklinStreet. A car was coming,but I thought I had time. Iwas wrong.

The teenager who wasdriving the car slammed onthe brakes, but the vehiclewas still moving at consid-erable speed when it struckme. I was thrown severalfeet in the air and landedso hard that one side of mywhite baseball pants wascaked with a layer of blacktop. Amazingly, aside froma nasty bruise, I was unin-jured. I played my baseballgame that day. On the otherhand, my bike – a SchwinnCotton Picker, if I recall –was totaled. I dragged thebike the rest of the way tothe junior high and left itthere.

It could have been atragedy, but it wound upbeing nothing more thana case of a broken bicycle.Parents did not scream at

one another. The policewere not called. No videoswere posted on Facebook.No lawsuits were filed.

Man, things havechanged.

And since that sunnyafternoon in the late 70s,things have changed con-siderably in media as well.Back then, news waited. Itwaited until editors siftedthrough copy and carefullyselected what was fit toprint, and decided whento print it. It waited whilestories and headlineswere pasted onto pagesthat were made into metalplates. It waited while thoseplates were attached to theprinting press and the bigcylinders turned. Finally, itwaited until carriers deliv-ered the newspapers to yourhomes or to newsstands.

But, today, you don’thave to wait. Today, newscan be consumed nearlyinstantaneously. We plan todeliver important, break-ing news to you in digitalformats. You can accessthe website, KendallCoun-tyNow.com, via desktop,tablet or mobile. You can

follow us on Twitter andFacebook. In the very nearfuture, you’ll be able to signup for text alerts that willpush breaking news to yourmobile device. You won’thave to wait for Chicagotelevision stations to decidethat your community is“worthy” of their coverage.You’ll be able to watch localnews video at KendallCoun-tyNow.com.

We know that life in Ken-dall County can get prettyhectic. We’ll do everythingwe can to help keep youinformed in real time.

Of course, we will con-tinue to publish the printedition of your newspaper.We know, for many people,the printed newspaper is atrusted old friend. It servesas the official “record” oflife in this region. We planto add more features andmore color to the printpublications. Yes, we arefocused on emerging plat-forms to deliver informa-tion, but we are still bigbelievers in the power ofprint.

Our goal is to be yourtrusted source for local

news and advertising, re-gardless of the platform youprefer. In fact, we hope youchoose to connect with us inprint and online!

On behalf of the Shawfamily and Shaw Media’sboard of directors, we areexcited to welcome theRecord Newspapers andthe Ledger-Sentinel to ourfamily. We can’t wait to getto know you better.

Smile! It Will Make Youand Others Happy!

There is a very interesting psychology experimentwhere you trick people into either smiling orfrowning without their knowing it (by telling them tohold a pencil either in their teeth, to make themsmile, or with their pursed lips, to make themfrown), and while they hold that facial position youtell them a joke. Those who are holding the smileusually rate the joke as being funnier, presumablybecause they are already halfway laughing to startwith. The moral of the experiment, if experimentscan be said to have a moral, is that our bodiesoften take the lead in making us feel happy or sad,or calm or anxious. Droopy, lackadaisical posturewill make you feel defeated while standing up talland strong will make you feel like a winner. Sosmile, even when you don’t feel much like smiling,or perhaps especially when you don’t feel muchlike smiling. And an added benefit to smiling is thatit tends to spread the happiness. Have an attitudeand a countenance that is worth catching.

Desserts don’t have to be complicated to begood. Here, a simple combination of cut-up canta-loupe and whole blackberries in orange juice makesa fine ending to a meal.

The orange juice-marmalade sauce works as just aswell with honeydew and raspberries or bananas andblueberries. So when you’re shopping for fruit, keepan open mind and buy what’s best at the market, notwhat’s on your list. For an easy variation, serve thefruit over ice cream or frozen yogurt.

Ambrosia refers to the coconut topping. It can bereplaced with a sprinkle of chopped nuts or granola,but then it wouldn’t be ambrosia.

3 cups cantaloupe, cut into bite-size chunks1 cup blackberries! cup orange juice3 tablespoons orange marmalade4 teaspoons sweetened flaked coconut

In a large bowl combine cantaloupe and berries.In another bowl stir orange juice and marma-lade. Pour over fruit and mix gently. Spoon fruitinto individual serving dishes and sprinkle withcoconut. Serves 4.

HEALTH&FITNESS Wednesday, July 1, 2015Sandwich Record • KendallCountyNow.com • Page 18

1. It gives you killer core strengthMore than any other workout, Pilates deeply tar-

gets the core, aka the “powerhouse” in Pilates speak– the group of muscles including the abdominalmuscles, pelvis, buttocks and lower back.

A strong, stabilized core is fundamental to every-thing from flexibility to balance to strength, so mostPilates classes feature plenty of ab-burning exercis-es to challenge and strengthen those hard-to-reachmuscles of the core.

2. It increases flexibilityCan’t touch your toes? Might want to add some

Pilates to your workout mix. Although we typicallythink of yoga as the ultimate stretching workout,Pilates is just as effective for enhancing flexibility.

According to a 2011 study, four weeks of Pilatestraining significantly increased flexibility in up to 85percent of test subjects.

You’ll notice better flexibility in your back, hipand hamstrings, especially.

3. It builds a stronger spineIf you’re concerned about spinal health, listen

up. Practicing Pilates can both alleviate and preventback pain, research shows.

A 2014 study discovered a significant link betweenPilates exercises and increased spinal alignment in24 females.

Because of its emphasis on maintaining a “neutralspine” and conditioning the muscles of the core andback, Pilates can promote better spinal health.

4. It cultivates greater body awarenessAlthough it helps sculpt super-sexy mus-

cles, Pilates isn’t all physical – it alsohelps to cultivates a greater body-

mind connection.In every Pilates

class, you’ll be en-

couraged to tune into your breath, to focus on yourposture, and to make precise, graceful movements.

These teachings can translate from your mat intoeveryday life, making you more conscious of every-thing from what you’re putting in your body to howto harness the power of the breath.

5. It prevents injuriesPilates has long been touted for its injury-healing

properties. Developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s,Pilates originally was used to rehabilitate injuredsoldiers following World War I, and these principleshave persisted well into the twenty-first century.

Because it’s low-impact and gentle on the joints,Pilates is suitable for individuals from a broad rangeof ages and fitness levels.

In studies, Pilates was found to be therapeutic toboth injured dancers and elderly people, due to itsability to increase dynamic move-ment and improve flexibility andbalance

6. It improves your postureAlways slouched over a computer

screen? Plagued by chronic neck or backpain?

Pilates can help with that.Typically, poor posture is the result of

asymmetrical muscle development,meaning some muscles are weakerthan others.

By strengthening these un-derdeveloped muscles, Pilatescan banish bad posture and evenmake you appear taller.

Another perk? When you situp straighter, you’ll not only lookmore confident – you’ll also wardoff chronic pain and have moreenergy.

PILATES

REASONSTO DO

ByANNA DICKENSSpry Living

From Madonna to Reese Witherspoon to Kate Hudson, celebrities consistently credit Pilates as the reasonfor their toned physiques. It’s no wonder why Pilates tops the list as Hollywood’s workout of choice: Thiscentury-old workout boasts a number of enticing health benefits, from tightening the core to elongating the

spine to improving posture. Here we reveal six compelling reasons to add Pilates to your workout rotation:

Strategies to boostweight lossThe rules of weight loss

are constantly changing,and while eating less andexercising more sounds likea simple formula, findingthe right tactic isn’t alwaysas easy as it seems. Hereare several strategies tohelp drive your weight lossgoals.• Give the scale a break.

A scale doesn’t come closeto measuring the signifi-cant changes happening inyour body during weightloss. Instead of focusingon a number each day,notice changes in how yourclothes are feeling, and howyou feel and move overall.• Let your closet be a

source of motivation. Newclothes are exciting and youusually want to wear themright away. But if you can’t,allow that wardrobe to fuelthe power of your weightloss goals. And if you havefavorite outfits that are asize or two bigger than theyshould be, consider donat-ing them to nudge yourselfin the right direction.• Take it one hour at

a time. Breaking weightloss down into smallerincrements can make itmore manageable. Start byhaving one “healthy hour.”Take the stairs, take a laparound the office at work,or ask for a salad insteadof fries with your meal atlunch.

Oswego’s best inningcame in the seventh againstright-handed reliever AlexHitney, who surrenderedfive runs and one hit, andalso issued five walks inhis 2-3 innings of work.O’Dell went 2-for-4 withthree RBIs after hittinga two-out, bases-clearingdouble to bring the Catswithin one before the final7-6 outcome.

“Andy got off to a roughstart,” Miller said. “Hestruggled a little bit, buthe’s getting there. We putthe pieces together as weneeded, but we didn’t hitthe ball well.

“It was nice to get acomeback on and put our-selves in a position whereone hit could (make thedifference). We were rightthere, we were knockingon the door, and Ryan gaveus a big hit up there. Webattled, and they helped usout with the walks, but thesame thing happens to ussometimes.”

Despite ending Wednes-day with a loss, the Catswrapped up the rest ofthe week on the highest ofswings.

They not only scoreda combined 29 times, butthey also allowed singleruns in each of those threegames. Additionally, theypreserved the bullpen, astheir three starters in thatspan went the distance –just as Miller was hopingthey would.

“I think that’s the waywe’re going to approach(our pitching), and it mightnot appease everyone, butother than a few guys outof the ‘pen, we’ve strug-gled,” he said. “You can seewe’re making strides, butthen we slip a bit. We’re

One of the many preseasongoals that field manager ToddMiller had for the Oswego Catswas establishing consistency.

After several weeks of interrup-tions and scheduling, it appearsthey’re taking a step in the rightdirection, as they have won five oftheir last six games, with four ofthose victories coming in ChicagoSuburban Baseball League com-petition.

Having had five rainouts tostart the summer and a schedulethat reflects the CSBL’s imbal-ance, Oswego (8-6) has had moredays off than it planned. Plus, ithad dropped five of the nine gamesit was able to play, preventingthe team from establishing bothsteady playing time and ensuingwins.

As such, last week’s busyschedule of eight games in sevendays came at a critical moment inthe Cats’ season.

A pair of losses at Lombard onSunday started that stretch, butit was followed up with a 15-5 winversus non-league opponent OakLawn on June 23, and a double-header split – a 2-0 win and a 7-6loss – against the Orioles on June24.

Last Thursday night, they vis-ited the Addison Braves and cameaway with a 9-1 victory, and thenthey wrapped things up with atwinbill sweep of the HomesteadRanchers, 11-1 and 9-1, on Satur-day afternoon to move within ahalf-game of North-leading Lom-bard.

While the Orioles had fourgames scheduled – results wereunknown at press time – beforeOswego returned to Jackie’s Fieldof Dreams on Thursday againstCrestwood, the Cats have putthemselves in a strong position tocontinue moving up in the CSBLstandings.

To get to second place in theNorth, the Cats had to take advan-tage of last week’s competition,starting with their first-ever meet-ing with Oak Lawn, a member ofthe Southwest Inter-League Asso-ciation with a 10-1 record enteringlast Tuesday’s game.

“We fell behind early and weredown 5-0,” Miller said. “Our start-er (right-hander Ryan Millan) hada little tendinitis in his right el-bow, and it flared up on him. He

wasn’t himself, so we brought(right-hander Dominick Tatone)in, and he held them scoreless forhis outing.”

Oak Lawn’s five-run lead cameover the first three innings versusMillan (Elmhurst College), whogave up six hits, hit a batter andstruck out three in his outing. Ta-tone (Judson College) came on inrelief for the next four innings,allowing just two hits and a walkwhile fanning three.

Left-hander Bailey Watros(Waubonsee Community College)pitched a perfect ninth to sealthe win for Oswego, which took a7-5 lead in the fourth inning andracked up 19 hits on the night. Theteam tacked on two more runs inthe fifth, a run in the seventh andfive in the eighth.

Javier Martinez III (Collegeof DuPage) went 2-for-5, and JeffTucker (Edgewood College) hit3-for-5. Each had three RBIs.Adam Lipscomb (Aurora Univer-sity) went 4-for-4, and Jose Cama-cho (Waubonsee Community Col-lege) batted 1-for-4 with two RBIsapiece, while Bobby Smith (NorthCentral College) went 3-for-4 withan RBI.

“We swung the bats pretty well,we were moving guys, we were sit-uational, we were doing some hitand runs, we had some steals, wewere able to execute, and we wereable to put things together,” Millersaid.

“Other than Ryan (Millan) kind

of struggling, our pitching heldup, and we were OK. It was nice tosee the bats come alive, and evenat the end of the game, where wewere getting other guys in, theywere getting on base. It all goesback to have guys being readywhen they’re called upon to con-

tribute.”Oswego carried Tuesday’s mo-

mentum into the twinbill withLombard, which swept the teams’doubleheader Sunday (June 21) 7-5and 9-8. Just as the previous meet-ing featured a pair of close games,Wednesday’s matchup was just astight.

Right-hander Brandon Thielk(University of Arizona) tosseda three-hitter, walking two andstriking out eight along the way,while Martinez had a hit and twoRBIs in the second to highlightgame one’s 2-0 result.

“In the first game, neither teamhit, but the pitching was pret-ty good,” Miller said. “Brandonwas on, and it’s fun to watch himthrow. First-pitch strike almostevery time, and that just changesthe count immensely.”

Game 2 was decidedly tougherfor the Cats, both on the moundand at the plate, as they trailed6-1 after six innings. The Oriolesadded another in the top of theseventh before the hosts ralliedfor five runs in the bottom of theframe.

A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

Sandwich baseball short-handed in summer playBy CHRISTINE BOLIN DASCHER

[email protected]

Due to the combination of in-clement weather, a freak accidenton the field and low number par-ticipation, the Sandwich baseballteam managed to play in less thanfour of its scheduled games thissummer.

In the first outing of the seasonagainst Seneca, the Indians splita doubleheader with the FightingIrish June 9.

In Game 1 of a doubleheaderagainst Westmont, Sandwich won.Game 2 started but did not finishafter the Indians’ Justin Sartoriand Hayden Isham collided on a

play in the field. Sartori ended upwith a broken jaw and had to havesurgery, and Isham had to be car-ried off the field on a stretcher. Heended up getting staples.

Sandwich head coach JasonVan Pelt said both boys are recov-

ering well – but things were notthe same after that.

Weather pretty much wipedout the rest of the schedule – ei-ther it rained the days the Indianshad games planned, rain made thefields unplayable or there weren’t

enough players to field a team inscheduled games against DeKalb,Seneca and East Aurora twice.

“That was the season. We justwanted to get through some gamesthis summer,” Van Pelt said. “Alot of the guys are two- and three-sport athletes and a lot play ontheir travel teams, so we knewconflicts of other sports kept someguys away. It was fun when wehad games, but it was tough toplay a full summer schedule.”

One of the biggest positives forthe Indians was seeing differentplayers getting the chance to pitch.Van Pelt specifically mentionedBrock Delphey’s outing againstWestmont, where he gave up only

two runs against the Sentinels.Also in that game, Sandwich

defeated a pitcher from Westmontthat beat the Indians in the regu-lar season in the spring. TravisFordon also posted several hitsand made nice plays in the fieldand Sartori had solid appearancesat the plate. Isham and Zach Hixalso saw a few innings each in thethree games played.

“We had 16 guys the first twogames, so the turnout was great,”Van Pelt said. “It was going wellbefore that freak accident (withSartori and Isham) happened. ButI’m happy with the effort. I’m ex-cited for this group coming backnext year.”

“A lot of the guys are two- and three-sport athletes anda lot play on their travel teams, so we knew conflicts of

other sports kept some guys away. It was fun when we hadgames, but it was tough to play a full summer schedule.”
