JANUARY 20.1862 Reuschel And Biittner Accompany "Rescue 50" Photos By Wayne Gaylord Story By Carl Moesche leftefif Marathon Exceeds Goal JOHNSBURG -1982 was both the best and the worst year for the annual "Rescue 50" marathon run. It was the best because Sunday marked the first time ever in seven years that the marathon raised over $10,000 to benefit the Johnsburg and McHenry Area Rescue squads. It was also the worst because below zero tem­ peratures coupled with a steady, heavy snowfall made visibility nearly impossible for the 80-some riders during their 50-mile excursion through McHenry County. Originally scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 10, the marathon had to be delayed a week when the tem­ perature dropped to a dangerous minus 50 below with the wind chill factor. Sunday with temperatures a bit "warmer", riders from the Harmony Snowmobile Club, the McHenry Snowballers, the Moose, Snoebirds, Snow Trackers of Harmony, Hebron Penguins, Wonder Lake Lakers, Polar Pairs of Spring Grove, and other riders set out to eclipse the 1979 record of $9200 raised. The event was highlighted by the presence of two former Chicago Cub players -- pitcher Rick Reuschel, now of the New York Yankees, and outfielder Larry Biittner, now of the Cincinnati Reds. Reuschel, accompanied by his five-year-old son Daryl, drove from his home in Arlington Heights to Peer Inn in Johnsburg after picking up Biittner at his home in Barrington. Reuschel, Biitner, and event coordinator Jim Wright, the top pledge getter during the last three years, led the pack from Peer Inn, which headed north to Spring Grove, Richmond, Hebron, and Wonder Lake before returning to the starting spot. After leaving around 10:00 in the morning, snow soon began to fall and visibility became difficult especially in open fields of the run. Near Andre's restaurant, located just north of Rich­ mond, many riders ex­ perienced snowblindness and could barely follow the machine ahead of them. "This was definetely the worst ride ever," said Wright. "In some places you could hardly see the machine in front of you." "One year the run was called off because of there being too much snow," agreed Harmony club president Frank Meisner. "Another year there wasn't enough snow and we rode in mud. But because of the visibility, this ride had to be the worst." When Biittner was asked whether it was tougher to see than a Nolan Ryan fastball he replied, "1 never see that anyway, but I didn't think the ride was too bad." One who may have had a different opinion was event co-chairman Judy Mazrin who hit a drift with her machine and went for a spill. Uninjured, she continued her journey. When the riders returned at approximately 4:00 p.m. they were warmed by a hot supper provided by several local organizations and by a hearty group of well- wishers. The riders were also warmed by the fact that they had accomplished what they/ had set out to do. Over: $10,330 was pledged at the ride's beginning with more money expected to be collected. "It's getting more and more fun every year," said Wright, who brought in nearly $2500 alone. "Every year we're getting more and more people interested." This year besides the area club riders, people came in from Waukegan, Liber- tyville, and Des Plaines to particpate. On Sunday, March 7 at 2:00 p.m., the presentation of the checks to the Johnsburg and the McHenry Rescue Area squads will be made at Chapel Hill Country Club. The top pledger will also be recognized as well as all those who took in pledges. And what's in store for next year? "I think we'll shoot for $15,000," said Mazrin. "We might have made that if we would've ran a week ago." MCHS Alumni Games Set McHenry high school's Annual Alumni basketball games will be held on Saturday, Jan. 23. The games are sponsored by the McHenry Booster Club. The first game, beginning at 700 p.m. will match the Even year graduatews vs. the Odd year graduates from the classes af 1969 and earlier.

Professional baseball players Rick Reuschel and Larry Biittner were on hand Sunday for the seventh annual Rescue 50 marathon run. Reuschel and his five- year-old son Daryl arrived from Arlington Heights and Biitner arrived from Barrington to participate in this year's event which brought over $10,000 to benefit the Johnsburg and McHenry Area Rescue Squads. These were some of ihe scenes at Raymond's Peer^Jnn in Johnsburg, home base for the run. Above: Riders warm up their engines on the cold morning in anticipation of the 50-mile course.
