Board Meeting Schedule and
Information
The Board approved 2015
meeting schedule includes meetings on the third Thursdays of
the months of March through
November. These meetings are
open to all property owners. If
you have an issue you would
like brought before the Board,
we ask that you fill out a Board
Agenda Request Form, at least
a minimum of one week prior
to the meeting date. Submitting
the question/appeal/complaint a
week in advance gives the Board
the opportunity to consider your
issue and obtain any supplemental
information necessary to address
the matter in a more comprehensive fashion. BOD Agenda
Request Forms can be picked up
at the POA office or downloaded
from the Association’s website at
www.oakrunpoa.com under the
forms section. As always, if the
issue is simply informational in
nature, or you are not seeking
immediate action or response, you
have the ability to address your
concern in the three minute member’s forum held at the beginning
of every meeting.
In the months ahead, the
Board will continue to focus on
the planning stage of the clubhouse/restaurant project. As of
writing this article, the Board has
reviewed several sets of conceptual drawings and is in the process
of choosing a design with which
to move forward. The short term
goal is to have a design and prospective funding plan available for
owner review by the April meeting. As we move further along in
this process, you will be able to
obtain additional information on
this project in the Communicator
and on the Association’s website.
The Board has also taken
advantage of the winter months
to begin the process of reviewing
the Association’s rules and regulations. In an effort to make certain that rules are reasonable, easily enforceable, and that they conform to the governing documents,
the Association commissioned the
services of a firm that specializes
in Community Association law
to conduct an assessment. As this
process moves forward, and prior
to any substantive changes in policy, owners will be asked for their
input. The easiest and most cost
efficient manner for communicating this information to you will
be through the Communicator and
the Association’s website. Please
take time to review these avenues
of communication so that your
opinions can be heard.
Water Quality
It is that time of year again
when we like to remind property
owners about the role they play in
lake water quality. Although we
continue to focus on the importance of controlling erosion, an
act as commonplace as fertilizing
one’s lawn can have an equally
detrimental impact on the lake.
The runoff of nutrients, especially
fertilizers containing phosphorus,
contributes significantly to algae
growth and weed growth. When
planning for yard work this year,
we ask that you review the label
prior to purchasing and only use
fertilizers which do not contain
phosphorus. Also, check weather

conditions before applying and
make certain that no heavy rain is
in the forecast. Good water quality makes all recreational activities
more pleasurable and can have an
impact on property values.
Open Burning
Open burning is another important topic which necessitates a little forethought on property owners’ part. If you are planning on
burning, stay up-to-date with the
local weather for windy or dry
conditions. No open fire should be
left unattended. Precautions such
as water, shovels, and rakes must
be readily available to contain the
spread of fire. It is also a good
idea to contact your neighbors
and be sensitive to those who may
have health concerns. Above all,
use common sense. Last spring,
First Responder personnel were
called to assist with several fires
that quickly grew out of control.
Not only can this be an embarrassing situation; allowing a fire
to burn out of control can potentially end with catastrophic consequences to both personal property
and the surrounding natural habitat. Moreover, it is an unnecessary
threat to the safety of those volunteers who serve to protect this
community.

Message
By Doug Williams
It seems as though winter will
never leave us this year! I have
heard so many people groaning
“enough already!” I know that
spring is on its way, and soon the
snow and cold and icy weather
conditions will be just a memory.
Oak Run is waiting for us to come
and enjoy the lake and all of the
amenities.
So much is planned for the
months ahead. Various committees have activities for both the
young and the old. Spring is full
of golfing, fishing, boating, and
children’s activities. Check out the
front page of this Communicator
for just a few of the many events
that are being offered here at Oak
Run.
We hope that our new property owners will get involved
in the community. Join a committee, or volunteer to help with
the Triathlon, or a worthy community project. This issue of the
Communicator will provide you
with many choices, along with
the information you will need to
contact someone about your interests. Our website: www.oakrunpoa.com features an online calendar of events marking all future
planned activities, and also has an
up-to-date Announcements page
containing pertinent information
concerning Oak Run.
I want to thank our established
Oak Run residents for the fantastic job they have done making
Oak Run a great place to live and
play. Your support of the Rules
and Bylaws is a great example to
our future generations, and will
help to keep our community running smoothly. The Board is currently reviewing all of our Rules
and updating them to reflect the
changing times.
The new clubhouse/restaurant
project is still in the works. The
Board has been reviewing drawings, and studying costs. Keep

Safety
Committee
From The Safety Committee:
Effective January 1, 2015,
Illinois adopted several new laws
that Oak Run property owners
should be aware of:
1) MANDATORY BOATER’S
EDUCATION (Senate Bill 3433):
Requires all persons born
after Jan. 1, 1998 to take and pass
a boating safety course Validated
by the Illinois Department of
Natural Resources and hold a
valid boating safety certificate
before they can operate a motorboat or PWC (personal watercraft) with an engine over 10 hp.
Anyone between the ages of 1012 must be supervised by an adult
who has a certificate and those
between 12 and 18 must have a
certificate or have supervision of
a certified adult.
The State of Illinois offers an
online boater’s safety class. For
more information visit: https://
www.boat-ed.com/Illinois
The U.S. Coast Guard
Auxiliary Boater’s Safety Class
will be taught here at Oak Run.
This year’s 8 hour class will be
held on Saturday, July 11,
from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at
Brentwood. Please register at the
POA office by July 4, and include
your phone number. A minimum
of ten (10) participants is necessary for the class to be held.
Lunch will be provided. Contact
the POA office at 309-879-2603
for more information.
2) NEW SKIER TOW
RULES (Senate Bill 2731):
The operator of any watercraft
that is towing a person, such as
a water skier or tuber, MUST
DISPLAY a bright orange flag
measuring not less than 12 inches
per side. The flag shall be displayed at the highest point of the
area surrounding the boat’s helm
as to be visible from all directions,
continuously, while the person or
persons being towed depart the
boat in preparation for towing and
until re-entry into the boat when
the activity has ceased. Display
of the flag for purposes other than
the activity described in this section is prohibited.
3) OPERATING UNDER
THE INFLUENCE (OUI –
Senate Bill 3434):
The new rules bring penalties
for boating under the Influence
more in line with those for operating a motor vehicle while
impaired by drugs or alcohol.
This law allows for the seizure of
a watercraft used in the commission of certain offenses related to
operating under the influence.
4) MINORS DRINKING
(House Bill 4745):

Fish and Sports
Committee
by Ryan McNeeley
As you receive this spring issue
of the Communicator, I hope the
weather is pleasant and that everyone is enjoying the many spring
activities planned by the various committees here at Oak Run.
Before I get into the events that
the Fish and Sports Committee
will be hosting this year, I would
like to do a quick recap of what
was done in the fall of last year.
Last fall, the Fish and Sports
Committee did its annual fish
stocking in Spoon Lake and sponsored the archery deer hunting
program. As for the fish stocking,
there was $14,000 allocated for it
in our 2014 budget. We broke that
down among three different species. Those species were Walleye,
Crappie, and Smallmouth Bass.
With that budgeted amount, we
were able to stock 3,052 Walleyes
at 6-8 inches each, 1,931 Crappie
at 6-9 inches each, and 1,673
Smallmouth Bass at 4-6 inches each. All three species were
stocked into the lake late last fall
(November). Because of the many
concerns from the crappie fisherman, we decided to stock crappie
for the first time since 1990. With
that being said, there will be many
more live well checks by the lake
patrol officers this year. So as a
reminder: you are only able to
keep 15 fish over the 9 inch minimum. All fish less than 9 inches
MUST BE RELEASED. Also as a
reminder, all new creel limits for
the other fish species have been
printed on the back of your 2015
membership card.
The archery deer program for
2014 was also another success.
There were a total of 48 hunters,
who participated, and a total of 59
deer were harvested; both numbers are a record high. Of those
deer harvested 52 were does and
7 were bucks. To my knowledge,
there were no complaints or issues
from Oak Run property owners.
The Committee will be meeting
the second Tuesday in April, at
6:30 p.m. at Brentwood, to discuss
the 2015 deer season and make
any rule changes that are needed.
This meeting is open to all property owners. Feel free to attend
Now on to the 2015 spring
events hosted by the Fish and
Sports Committee. We will
be having the annual Kids’
Fishing Derby, the Spring Bass
Tournament, the Thursday night
bass tournaments, The Sugar
Creek Team Anglers of the Year
competition, and possibly a summer fundraising catfish tournament.
The Kids’ Fishing Derby will
be held again in conjunction with
the Illinois free fishing days. By
holding the derby on this weekend, no one participating will
need to have a current fishing
license. This year those days are
June 5th through the 8th. The
derby will be held that Saturday,
June 6th, at Windermere Park.
Registration will be between 8:00
and 9:00 a.m. The kids will fish
until 11:00 and the weigh-in will
follow thereafter. All bait will be
provided, along with juice, milk,
and donuts. Please provide your
own rods, reels, and tackle, as
there is not enough on hand to
be used by all. There will be four
Co-Ed divisions this year: Ages 4
years and under, 5-8 years, 9-12
years, and 13-15 years old may
participate. There will be trophies
and prizes given out to the top
finishers for each division. We are
always looking for more sponsors, so if anyone is interested in
being a sponsor, please feel free
to contact me at 309-645-1515, or
the POA office at 309-879-2603,
for details.
The annual Spring Bass
Tournament will be held this
year on Saturday, April 25th. The
application, along with the rules,
will be posted in this same issue
of the Communicator. The only
major rule change for this year is
the start/stop time. In years past,
the tournament has always been
from 6:00 a.m. to noon. But due
to the many delayed starts we’ve
encountered during the last few
years, mainly from safe light and
fog issues, we will be having the
tournament from 7:00 a.m. to
1:00 p.m. All applications must
to be turned in to the POA office
and paid for by Friday, April 17th,
at 5:00 p.m. All boats registered
for the tournament may fish the
lake until dusk on Tuesday, April
21st, but it is off limits starting
Wednesday April 22nd, at 12:00
a.m.
Starting the Thursday after the
spring tournament, April 30th,
the weekly bass tournaments
will begin. They will run every
Thursday from April 30th through
September 17th. The tourneys
will take place each week at the
Lakeview boat launch. There is no
pre-registration required. Entry fee
for each week is $25.00 and it can
be paid prior to each tournament.
These are 100% payback events.
Take-off for every Thursday is at
6:00 p.m.
For the last two years, there has
been a Team Angler of the Year
competition that encompasses
the best team scores throughout
the bass tournament season here
at Oak Run. During those two
years it has been a “winner takes
all” event. This year, there have
been four generous sponsors for
this event, so that has changed.
With that being said, there will
be money paid for the 1st, 2nd,
and 3rd places, along with
a payout for “Big Bass” of the
year. In addition, there will be an
extra purse in place for the fall
tournament (the classic). There
is also an automatic “kickback”
to the registered participants.
You will receive a sweatshirt, tshirt, and a can koozie for your
participation. We have also
changed the format this year, to
make it more accommodating
for the teams that cannot make
it to every tournament. For more
details, the application, along
with the newly formatted rules,
will appear in this issue of the
Communicator.
I would like to remind everyone
that our Committee meets every
second Tuesday of the month, at
6:30 p.m. at Brentwood. Feel free
to attend! I would also like thank
all of the Committee members,
along with the many sponsors/
volunteers who help with the
organization of our events, and
the time they spend making Oak
Run a true outdoor paradise! See
you on the water, Ryan McNeeley
Tips From
the
Pro
by Brett Horton
How to buy a set of clubs
Seems like an easy thing to do.
Until you see all of the different
makes and models of golf clubs
that are available these days. Do I
need a hybrid or a fairway wood?
Stiff flex or regular? Nine or ten
degree loft? and let’s not forget
about price.
Golfers come in all shapes and
sizes and they, accordingly, need
equipment specifically designed
for their physical characteristics and playing style. A golfer
who is 6’6” needs clubs at a longer length than one who is 5’5’.
Seniors often need a shaft that
is more flexible, due to slower
swing speeds.
This is why it is important that
the person selling you the clubs
should be a PGA golf professional, who watches your golf
swing, the flight of the ball, and
asks questions about your playing
style to know more about your
golf game and goals.
A club fitting session takes less
than thirty minutes. I go through
a series of simple questions and
measurements. This enables me
to determine the proper length
of your clubs and your grip size.
Then we hit a few shots off of a lie
board, which will determine the
lie that the club should have. The
lie of the club is a major influence on accuracy. After hitting a
few shots, I determine the type of
shaft that you need, based on your
swing speed and ball carry. Based
on the questions I have asked and
the feedback from the ball flight,
we will then determine the club
set makeup, replacing hard to hit
clubs with clubs more forgiving.
There are five basic areas
where custom club fitting
improves your game:
Distance: A golf club fitted
with the correct shaft length suited to your height and swing speed
will increase your distance.
Accuracy: Golf clubs with
shorter shafts are generally more
accurate because there is less
inconsistency, due to a shorter
swing. The player is able to hit the
center of the club face more often.
Trajectory: Golf clubs with
shafts that have a flexible tip will
produce a higher trajectory and
more carry. Players with a fast
swing speed require a shaft that
has a firmer tip, producing a lower
ball flight.
Consistency: Golf clubs with
correctly fitted lie angles will
promote better consistency, due
to less error when the club head
impacts the turf. A club that digs
its toe into the turf first will result
in a shot to the right of the target.
Feel: The swing weight, shaft
length, and grip size have the
greatest impact on the feel of your
golf clubs.
Golfers looking for a way to
ensure that their equipment truly
fits their needs for the upcoming
golf season have the opportunity
to receive free equipment fitting
sessions throughout April and
May, during the PGA Free Fitting
& Trade-Up Months at Oak Run.
The month of May also offers
Free Demo Days. Tuesday of each
week, golf companies bring their
demonstration equipment to Oak
Run; allowing players to test the
latest equipment and be custom
fitted for Free. Mark your calendars and come to the Oak Run
Public Golf Course!

Michelle Williams at Notre Dame’s “Messiah” chorale concert.
Michelle Williams, daughter of
Peter and Chantel Williams, has
been named to the dean’s list in
the University of Notre Dame’s
College of Science for outstanding
scholarship during the Fall 2014
semester. Students who achieve
dean’s honors at Notre Dame
(ND) represent the top 30 percent
of students in their college.
Michelle is a sophomore studying pre-med and is involved in
sleep deprivation research through
the neuroscience department at
ND. She is hoping to spend the
summer in Tubingen, Germany
continuing to participate in
sleep research at Eberhard Karls
Universität Tübingen, depending
on grant approval.
Ms. Williams is also a mem-
ber of the Notre Dame Chorale
(the official concert choir of Notre
Dame) and traveled with them to
Prague, Vienna, and Salzburg last
summer on a tour where they performed in various churches. Then
this January, she toured with the
Chorale to Louisville, Nashville,
Shreveport, Baton Rouge,
New Orleans, Memphis, and
Westerville, OH where they also
performed in various churches.
Most recently, Michelle, who
is a member of the Notre Dame
Right to Life club, just traveled
with them to Washington DC
for the march on the capitol on
January 22, 2015.
Congratulations on all of your
accomplishments, Michelle!
Anna Mae Gorski celebrates her 89th birthday!
On November 18, 2014, Anna
Mae Gorski celebrated her 89th
birthday. The morning exercise
group celebrated this birthday with
her the next day, by taking her out
to lunch, with a stop at Tanner’s
Orchard first. The original plan
was to eat lunch there also, but
it was a very cold and blustery
day, so the plan was changed to a
warmer venue in Peoria.
This woman is an inspiration
to the few of us left in the exercise
group. Anna Mae has done some
type of exercise all of her life and
it is certainly evident each time
she attends. We all aspire to be in
the same “shape” she is when we
reach that age! "You go girl!"

SVLSD Update
By Sam Montooth
As I am writing this article at
the end of February. I am hoping and praying that by the time
you are reading it, around the 1st
of April, the weather will have
moderated and temperatures of
the low thirties (and lower) have
taken leave! Hopefully, sunshine
has prevailed and warm rains are
gently falling. Flowers will bloom
and green grass will grow, only
too soon to need mowing!
District employees have had
an average winter keeping systems running and answering
services calls on Step systems.
Spring will bring on the standard
service checks of systems in the
Brentwood and Parkview subdivisions. The finish work of the
line rerouting project at the Sewer
plant, which did not get completed last fall, will be completed. We
also have a couple of projects that
we will be researching and setting
priorities on, to keep our gravity
sewer system working in years to
come.
We are still awaiting information on our application for an
IEPA loan to reroute the forced
sewer main from lift station #1 to
the sewer plant. The project has
been approved (as reported last
summer) and all indications are
that the loan approval could come
sometime this summer. When the
loan is approved, notices will be
published for construction bids to
be received, and then the due process of accepting and approving
them will commence. When the
project will actually begin, will
depend on when the approval for
the loan is received. The earliest
start date could be this summer,
but only time will tell.
A reminder to residents in
Westwood, Charter Oak, Old
Orchard, Windemere, and Laurel
Hill subdivisions with Aerobic
Septic Systems: Spring is a good
time to get your systems serviced,
in order to meet the July 1st date
of providing service reports to the
Sanitary District. Letters will be
going out around the 1st of June,
requesting copies of your contracts and service reports for your
Aerobic Systems.
Residents: If you have a billing
question or are moving and need
a change of address, contact our
business office at 309-343-4156
(ask for Pat Tolle). If you have a
service related question, contact
our Sewer Plant in Oak Run at
309-879-2368.
Again, we would like to thank
those in the Brentwood and
Parkview subdivisions for calling
our service office when you heard
alarms going off. Thank You!!

Oak Run First
Responders
(Emergency Medical
Services and Firefighters)
By Larry Wood
The Oak Run First Responder
Mission Statement is: “The true
meaning of community; neighbors helping neighbors. Trained
volunteers protecting life and
property.”
Your Oak Run First Responders
had the following Emergency
Medical Services (EMS) calls:
two (2) in November, four (4) in
December, one (1) in January,
and five (5) in February (through
2/25). Firefighters had no (0) calls
in November and December, one
(1) call in January, and one (1) in
February (through 2/25).
Monthly First Responder
Meetings
Our Monthly Team Meetings
occur on the first Thursday of
each month at the First Responder
Building starting at 6:30 p.m.
This has changed from previous
Communicators. You’re invited
to our monthly meetings or visit
our new website: www.oakrunfun.com/firstresponders for more
information. Look for a link to our
website on the POA website home
page: www.oakrunpoa.com At the
station, come and check out the
trucks, turn-out gear, and medical
and fire equipment. See if being
a First Responder, either EMS or
Firefighter, is for you. Members
must be at least 18 years of age,
a full-time resident of Oak Run,
and have a valid Illinois driver’s
license. Jan Congreve will teach
a First Responder Class this summer at Oak Run, for those interested in joining our team.
We thank Travis Huffman for
winterizing the First Responder
Fire/Rescue Boat at no charge,
prior to winter storage.
First Responder Officers
As of January 1, 2015, Kraig
Love continues as the Oak
Run Fire Chief. Bruce Bush is
the Assistant Fire Chief. Dan
Congreve is the EMS Officer.
Dan Genty continues as the
Trustee with the Williamsfield
Fire Protection District Board of
Directors. First Responder officers are as follows: Mary Bush,
President; Jan Querciagrossa,
S e c r e t a r y ; J a n e F r a z i e r,
Treasurer; Jan Congreve, Training
Coordinator; and Larry Wood,
Communicator.
We currently have 15 members: 4 EMS First Responders, 4
Firefighters, and 7 members who
are both EMS and Firefighters.
Three of our EMS personnel have
a higher level of training than the
required level for basic EMS.
Christmas/Recognition Party
Our December monthly meeting was our annual Christmas and
Recognition Party at Brentwood.
All current and former first
Responders were invited, and
the Williamsfield High School
Honor students served the guests.
We recognized the resignat i o n s o f G e o rg e H u r d ( 1 5
years in EMS and a Charter
Member) and Tom Kordewick
(5 years as a firefighter).
George and Tom were presented
commemorative plaques for their
great service. Our alumni included
Anna May Gorski, Elaine Rash,
and Mel Rash. It was a fun evening with great food and lively
conversation.

A website was developed by

and provides safety information
and safety tips for the Oak Run
community, and has additional
training information specifically
for First Responders: www.oakrunfun.com/firstresponders Thank
you Jim for your time and effort.
We are proud of our involvement in community events. We
offer monthly free blood pressure
checks on the fourth Saturday
of each month from 9-10 a.m. at
our station. We are responsible
for testing our two tornado sirens
each month and setting them off
as necessary. The slogan, “We
can’t help you if we can’t find
you!” has resulted in the addition
of 188 (white on blue) reflective address signs for Oak Run
homes and docks. Contact Tom
Kordewick at 309-879-2082 for
details. The price for the metal
sign is $20 and an additional $10
Give us a call for all your Projects!
if you need a stake to mount the
sign.
Food Drive
Another community project is the collection of food or
monetary donations for the FISH
Food Pantry in Galesburg, which
supplies emergency food for the
very needy of Knox County. We
are collecting non-perishable
food at the Oak Run Food Mart
or the First Responder Building.
Monetary donations in the form
of a check to the FISH Food
Pantry can be given to any Oak
Run First Responder. Each dollar
donation buys $5 of food from the
River Bend Distribution Facility.
Contact Larry Wood on 309-7126566 for questions or food pickup. To date, we have collected 150
pounds of food from the generous Oak Run residents. Thanks to
those who have already donated.
Fire Department Symbol
Have you
ever wondered
about the logo
on the Fire
Truck door
at the First
Responder
Building? The red symbol illustrates a fire hydrant on the left
side. At Oak Run, we are fortunate
to have hydrants throughout the
community; every 300 – 400 feet
along the roads. The right side of
the emblem illustrates a ladder
and a pike pole. The pike pole is a
long pole with a hook on the end
used to ventilate a burning building by removing interior ceiling
panels, exterior shingles and siding, and breaking out windows.
The pike pole was also used in
logging and ice fishing, where it
likely got its name “pike” from
the type of fish that it speared
upward. Also, the term “hook
& ladder truck” was said to be
derived from the hook on the end
of the pike pole along with the
ladder on the side of the fire truck.
The center of the emblem shows
the tools of the trade, including
a helmet, an ax, a pike pole, and
a ladder, along with a historical
bugle. Before our modern day
electronic radios, the bugle was
an important means of communicating at the fire scene.
Spot a STROKE and Act
Quickly!
THINK YOU ARE HAVING
A STROKE? CALL 9-1-1
IMMEDIATELY!
F.A.S.T. is an easy way to
remember the sudden signs of
stroke. When you can spot the
signs, you’ll know that you need
to call 9-1-1 for help right away.
F.A.S.T. is:
Face Drooping – Does one
side of the face droop or is it
numb? Ask the person to smile. Is
the person’s smile uneven?
Arm Weakness – Is one arm
weak or numb? Ask the person
to raise both arms. Does one arm
drift downward?
Speech Difficulty – Is speech
slurred? Is the person unable to
speak or hard to understand? Ask
the person to repeat a simple sentence, like “The sky is blue.” Is
the sentence repeated correctly?
Time to call 9-1-1 – If someone shows any of these symptoms,
even if the symptoms go away,
call 9-1-1 and get the person to
the hospital immediately. Check
the time so you’ll know when the
first symptoms appeared.

Leo’s Tripet of Galaxies
Using a good pair of binoculars, a cluster of three galaxies
can be seen in the same field of
view. The cluster is located near
the belly of Leo. At a distance
of 35 million light years, one of
Gemini Twins
The skies of spring bring several interesting constellations.
Facing south at 8:00 p.m. during the month of March, Gemini
appears high in the southern skies.
It can be located to the left of the
constellation Orion, which is just
above the setting sun.
In Greek mythology, the constellation is known as the Gemini
Twins and it represents mortality
(Castor) and immortality (Pollux).
In the myth, Leda, the queen of
Sparta, gave birth to twin boys,
Castor and Pollux. Castor’s father
was the mortal king of Sparta, but
Pollux was the son of the immortal god Zeus. Castor and Pollux,
whose sister was Helen of Troy,
were inseparable as children and
went off together to fight in the
Trojan War. When Caster eventually died, Pollux was grief stricken. Seeing this, Zeus made Castor
immortal and reunited him with
Pollux in the sky. Pollux’s head
is represented by the brighter of
the two stars seen in the diagram
above. Near the left foot of Pollux
is the star cluster M35. Composed
of about 650 stars, it is thought to
be about 100 million years old,
and can be easily seen through a
pair of binoculars.
the galaxies is comparable to our
own Milky Way Galaxy. It is so
large that traveling at a speed
of 186,000 miles per second, it
would take about 100,000 years to
fly across it.

Facing south, the constellation
Leo is to the left of Gemini, and
is identified by the sickle-shaped
(backwards ?) group of stars and
the triangle of stars that represent
his hind quarters. In mythology,
Leo represents the Nemean lion
that was slain by Hercules in the
first of his 12 Labors. The lion
lived in a den near the town of
Nemea, and he would lure local
hunters to the den. When they
tried to kill him, their arrows
would bounce off of his impenetrable fur. The lion would then
devour the doomed warriors and
throw their bones to Hades. To
defeat the lion, Hercules stunned
it with his club and then strangled
it with his super human strength.

Oak Run is a wonderful community to live in. That is the
reason we have been emptying out the farm house and buildings in Galva, and making our permanent home here. Many
Oak Run residents have been there for us, to help pack, load,
and move things from the farm to Oak Run. Thanks to Joan
and Ken Grauf, Mary and Bruce Bush, Dale Steffen, Kendal
Zehr, Barb and Don Timmerman, Norma and John Lindberg, Vicki and
Mike Massie, Marilyn and Bill Gliva, Don Morris, and Kathryn and
Carl Clang. Also, a few days later after the move, Don Timmerman and
Carl Clang built a nice little ramp from the garage into the house here at
Oak Run, for easier access. We can’t thank all of them enough.
Harlan and Sally Nelson
During the snow storm on February 26th, we left early in the
morning for our son-in-law’s funeral in Shelbyville, leaving our
driveway full of snow. On the way back home on Friday afternoon,
we were both dreading facing the task of cleaning our driveway up
as it had drifted quite a bit and, of course, we had driven on it, which
makes cleanup more difficult. As we arrived at the cul de sac, we were
pleasantly surprised to see that it had been all cleared off for us. Our
neighbors, Margie and Judd Glow, had done it! What a wonderful
gesture. Thanks!

Williamsfield Public
Library News
Many Oak Run residents borrow books from their tax-supported Williamsfield Public Library
and are aware of plans for growth.
To those who do not know about
the building of a new library adjacent to the Williamsfield School
campus, completion is slated for
the middle of May, with opening
by the end of August.
The Williamsfield Public
Library District (WPLD) is excited and proud to be on schedule
with the building of the new
library facility. Three public entities have worked cooperatively
to plan for taking the library into
the future and better serve our
communities. The land was given
to the WPLD by the Village of
Williamsfield. The Williamsfield
Schools’ Building Trades students
are constructing the Library. The
Library Board and Friends of the
Library are conducting fundraisers to buy the building.
When in operation, the new
enlarged library will have a larger
collection, an expanded children’s
library, student study areas, a
genealogy center, enhanced technology, public Wi-Fi, a community-accessible meeting room,
public restrooms, and storm shelter. If you have questions, call
639-2630, email info@wpldnext.

“Why
Volunteer?”
By Larry Wood
Joining an Oak Run committee and/or volunteering for special projects sponsored by Oak
Run committees, creates a feel
good feeling and provides a way
of meeting other Oak Runners.
It also opens doors to activities
beyond, but in close proximity to,
the Oak Run area.
Many of our residents are
involved in volunteer work outside of Oak Run. These include
the Oak Run First Responders
(part of Williamsfield Fire
Protection District-15 Oak Run
volunteers), Habitat for Humanity,
FISH Food Pantry of Galesburg,
Knox County Fair, Carl Sandberg
College, Local church activities and missions, Blood drives,
Election Judges, Knox County 4H, American Legion and VFW,
and numerous other organizations.
We should also be aware
of what’s going on in our
community and look into ways
to help. It could be a neighbor
who’s struggling with a chore or
needing assistance. With a helping
hand they could continue to enjoy
their life at Oak Run. Volunteering
comes in many ways. In the end,
it means giving of one’s time to
bring a ray of hope to one in need.
P.S. Currently, eight Oak
Runners volunteer at the
Galesburg FISH Food Pantry on
a weekly basis. More volunteers
are needed, especially those
with basic computer knowledge.

sale vendors. For more information on Water Usage Stamps, visit
the DNR website listed above.

Reminder: The Illinois Boat Registration and
Safety Act was amended in 2013, to prevent the

by boats, trailers and vehicles. It is now illegal
to enter OR leave a water body with aquatic
plants and animals attached to your boat or trailer.
Travel on Illinois highways with aquatic plants
or animals attached is also prohibited. Always

Conclusions, but you have to
jump, and I’m not too much on
physical activity anymore. I have
also been in Doubt. That is a sad
place to go, and I try not to visit
there too often.
I’ve been in Flexible, but
only when it was very important
to stand firm. Sometimes I’m
in Capable, and I go there more
often as I’m getting older.
One of my favorite places to

the adrenalin flowing and pumps
up the old heart! At my age I need

st
Class Day
By Sally Nelson
The Knox County Association
for Home & Community
Education (KCAHCE) held
their 32nd Annual Class Day on
Saturday, February 28th, at Carl
Sandburg College. There were 54
classes offered, including a wide
variety of classes for the sewer,
gardener, collector, historian, or
technology buff. Other selections
were for people wanting to be
healthy with exercise and proper diet, and also for the outdoors
man.
Have you ever been kayaking?
Instructor, Tammie Weaver, owner
of the Garden Station, taught how
to transport, lift, mount, and dismount a kayak, and shared great
tips for kayaking at Oak Run and
on Spoon River.
Kay and Steve Davis taught
a class on gun safety, concealed carry considerations and
the law. Ken Russell, District
Fisheries Biologist for the Illinois
Department of Natural Resources,
and father of Oak Run’s Beth
and Dan Russell, spoke on small
lakes and ponds. Oak Run First
Responder and marketing manager for the FISH Food Pantry,
Larry Wood, gave the history
and overview of the FISH Food
Pantry.
Attendees learned to play
bridge, knit, reverse paint, and
to arrange flowers, among many
other skills. Each person chose
five (5) one hour classes during
the one-day event. Pre-registration ensured a reservation in the
session of choice. Cost for the
entire day was $25, and lunch was
included. Some classes required
an additional supply fee, which
Oak_Run_March_15_Layout
1 2/16/15
was
usually $5.
It was a great way to spend a
Saturday during the winter, and
the annual proceeds are given to
the Sandburg Foundation Fund for
scholarships to be used by a Knox
County student attending Carl
Sandburg College. Class Day is
typically held on the last Saturday
in February, so plan to attend
next year, and try something new
that you have always wanted to
learn! For more information, visit

Paint away the winter blues with Your Wine & Art
Defined! The Spoon Lake Activity Team (SLAT) provided
this event/activity at Brentwood on January 20th and again
on February 17th. ‘Art Defined’ from Galesburg, came out
to provide this paint by number event, without the numbers! They even supplied all of the materials needed to
complete the paintings; including easels, canvases, paint,
brushes, and aprons to cover your clothes. All you had to
bring was your own wine or beverage of choice to enjoy
while creating your “masterpiece!”
‘Art Defined’ donated a portion of their proceeds to the
Oak Run Fire Department and to Knox County TRIAD,
respectively, for these two events. Thus, event participants
not only got out of the house and enjoyed painting their
winter blues away with many of their Oak Run neighbors,
but they helped our community while doing so!
This winter meet and greet, provided by SLAT, introduced our new website: registration option. Most of the
participants utilized the option for this activity, primarily
through the website: HYPERLINK “http://www.slatnews.
com” www.slatnews.com and PayPal! SLAT hopes you
will use this easy way of registering for our events in the
future!

Cardboard Boat
Regatta
By Joe and Katherine Seguino
Have you ever dreamt of
building your own boat? This
is your chance! To add to the
festivities of the pool “Splash”
on Saturday May 23, we will be
holding a Cardboard Boat Regatta.
If you can cut, tape and paddle,
then this is the event for you!
Boats can be made by
individuals or teams, but only
one person has to race the boat.
Bring your fully assembled boat
to the Brentwood pool at 3:45
p.m. on May 23, and the races
will begin by 4:00 p.m. You are
highly encouraged to decorate the
boat with a theme and have team
members dressed to match the
theme to add to the fun.
You will have to row your boat
from one edge of the swimming
pool to the other, and then back
again (hopefully without sinking).
The number of heats will depend
on how many entrants there are
and each heat will be timed.
The goal of the Regatta isn’t
necessarily to win the race, but to
have a good time!
Prizes will be awarded in the
following categories: Fastest
Time, Most Spectacular Sinking,
and Best Theme.
The rules are as follows:
Prior registration completed.
Build a one-person boat. Boat
length is limited to 5 ft. The
boat should be powered by oars
(provided by participant). The
boat must be built completely
out of corrugated card board of
any thickness. The only adhesive
allowed is duct tape. No other
materials allowed, such as
Styrofoam or inflation devices,
to aid in floatation. No sand bags
or other weighted materials for
ballast. Decorations may be made
from any material but may not
be used to reinforce the actual
structure of the boat. The team
member who races the boat must
wear a personal flotation device.
All teams are expected to clean
up after themselves, including
removal/disposal of the boat after
the race. All boats are subject to
inspection before racing. Good
sportsmanship will be expected.
Free to enter and no rain date.
If you are interested in
participating in the Cardboard
Boat Regatta, please fill out
the registration form (found
in the Communicator) or email

FULL TIME RESIDENT
Traveling in Time
By Harlan and Sally Nelson
Many Oak Run residents traveled to the warmer climates of
Arizona, California, Alabama,
Florida, North Carolina, and Texas
this winter. But Harlan and I traveled in a different way; we traveled back in time. Let me explain:
In October, we decided that we
were getting too old and were
unable to keep our farm home,
which has been in the family for
100 years, and the farm buildings
along with it, in good shape. So
we decided to clean them all out
and sell them and the 1.85 acres
they sit on.
Since the farm had been in the
family for so many years, and
Harlan had lived here for 75 years,
the full walk in attic was packed
full of family items that had accumulated there. Both sets of grand
parents came over from Sweden
and settled here. They lived during the depression and threw
nothing away. We found the rent
receipt for Grandpa Algot’s first
month of rent in the late 1800s for
the amount of $5.
Harlan’s Mom kept diaries
back to 1922 when his folks married. Their honeymoon was spent
in California for three months
in the winter. They went to the
Rose Bowl Parade and saw many
celebrities in Hollywood. Lots of
photos and signatures were found
(of course we’re keeping those!).
Upon returning, they went to
Galesburg and bought the furniture for their entire home for $99.
We found the receipt. The dining
room table and chairs we were
still using, but will soon be sold at
auction. We also learned that during the World War II sugar rationing, the school was cancelled
because of it. Now we wonder
why.
We have learned the price of
grain through the years and how
happy they were when they got
57 cents a bushel for corn in the
20s. In the back of each diary, his
Mom listed the prices of things.
We found Harlan’s little sailor
outfit that he wore when he was
a child, his Boy Scout handbook,
and also the school papers and
report cards of his parents when
they were in school. We discovered many items that we didn’t
realize existed.
Harlan’s Dad raised race
horses in the 30s and 40s and
we even found bits and bridles.
Harlan’s toys from those days
were found. Among them were
Charlie McCarthy paper dolls, a
filmstrip projector with Tom Mix
and Charlie Chaplin strips, and
various trucks and cars. Many of
those items will be sold at auction.
So many interesting things are
going to auction. I wish I had the
time to record all of the stories
that have been shared by friends
and relatives as items have been
uncovered. From the wardrobe
built by Harlan’s Dad, to the
lead glass chewing snuff jar that
my grandpa used to use. I even
learned a story about Harlan’s
Grandpa chewing Copenhagen.
So, while many of you enjoyed
warm temperatures this winter, my
time has been filled with warm
memories. I wonder if this house
will be filled with another 100
years of new memories. Yes, we
kept a lot of things and brought
them here to the lake; so that our
son and grandchildren can travel
back in time someday too.
You need a plan if
your goal is
home.
We’re step one.

Oh, how we all look forward to
the first signs of spring! It’s been
a long, cold winter for us Midwesterners. But, before moving on
into 2015, I’d like to reflect back
to November and December of
last year. In November, the Garden
Club members enjoyed decorating
many of the large evergreen trees
at the front entrance into Oak Run.
And also, a beautiful lighted display
was located above the Oak Run
entrance sign to greet everyone for
the holiday season! The Christmas
decoration committee and other
garden club members worked very
hard on this project. “THANK
YOU,” members, for your
continued efforts to make Oak Run
beautiful at such a very special time
of the year.
On December 2nd, Garden
Club members enjoyed an evening
trip to Peoria Luthy Botanical
Gardens. Participants viewed a
beautiful lighted display of many
decorated Christmas trees and
several varieties of poinsettias. The
room felt enchanting with all of its
lights and beauty! Our Luthy guide,
Bob Streitmatter, explained about
many of the plants kept within the
large, terrarium-domed room. After
our tour, we enjoyed a meal and
continued our fellowship at one of
Peoria’s Mexican restaurants, before
heading back to Oak Run.
A new year, 2015. The Garden
Club has another active and
exciting annual agenda. We will
continue to help beautify Oak Run
by caring for the many gardens
within the development, as well as
caring for some of the plants on
the golf course. The spring and fall
roadside/ditch cleanup project is
an important community project,
which is sponsored annually by the
Garden Club.
The following is a brief list of
planned activities: April 7: Garden
Club regular meeting at Brentwood

Peoria Luthy Botanical Garden in December
By Tom and Linda Kordewick
& Larry and Pam Douglass
Fifty three holiday-spirited Oak
Runners attended the Christmas
“Walk” and Buffet on Saturday,
December 6th. While the Watering
Hole made their final preparations on a scrumptious buffet,
the guests toured three Oak Run
homes, coming away amazed at
the beautiful decorations. Opening
their homes for the walk were Tim
and Lori Loving, Jerry and Linda
Rodgers and Ron and Melanie
Pitcher. While touring the homes,
the guests were offered little treats
of holiday goodness.
Once the tours were completed,
the guests and hosts drove over
to the Watering Hole where they
were greeted to a festively-decorated dining room, complete with
tablecloths, candles and Santa
Clauses. While dining, Christmas
carols played in the background.
And the Christmas buffet? Well,
the Watering Hole kitchen thoroughly outdid themselves!

off the dinner, there was an array

and truffles!
Andrew and his staff also
served two special cocktails that
night. One was a peppermint

concoction called the ‘Grinch.’ A
good time was had by all!

HOUSEHOLD
GARBAGE POLICY
With the return of summer, a
review of Oak Run’s residential
waste policy seems appropriate.
The program is only available
to part-time residents who sign up
and pay the required user fee at
the POA office.
A three month minimum sign
up period is required.
The hours of operation are
Saturday, Sunday, and Monday
from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Please
note the recent change in hours
for this season.
The waste program is
for household garbage only.
Construction material, yard waste,
household appliances, furniture,
and toxic or flammable materials
are strictly prohibited.
Items which meet the aforementioned criteria must be taken
to the Knox County Landfill for
disposal. The landfill is located
approximately 10 miles from
Oak Run off of State Highway
167. Their hours of operation are
Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 3:30
p.m. and Saturday 8:00 to 11:30
a.m., and they may be contacted
at 309-375-6045.
No household garbage can be
disposed of in the dumpsters or
receptacles located in the parks.
A minimum fine of $50.00 will be
issued for illegal dumping.
If you are a full-time resident
or part-time resident who is here
throughout the summer, you need
to sign up for curbside pick up.
There are two companies which
offer the service at Oak Run.
Tom Rollins provides Tuesday
pick up service and can be contacted at 309-879-2613. Waste
Management provides Thursday
pick up service and can be contacted at 1-800-607-5474.
