MERLE’S CORNER

  • West Chicago Detective Sergeant Robbi Peterson was one of the 86 participants worldwide to carry the Flame of Hope in the final leg of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for the 2025 Special Olympics Winter World Games March 8 to 15 in Turin, Italy. Eight Special Olympics athletes accompanied the teams on the final leg. At each of the stops an athlete and a member of one of the LETR teams spoke about the impact of LETR and Special Olympics. The crowds at all the stops were enthusiastic. “’We witnessed a country embrace Special Olympics, the Law Enforcement Torch Run and our Final Leg teams with open arms. With every stop, the crowds get bigger. Our message of inclusion and acceptance is being heard and celebrated!”

The first run to Baredo was electrifying, “The energy was undeniable” The second  stop was Pragelato ,the Nordic skiing location  at the Special Olympics World Winter Games. The teams started the next day with a run from Monument. Again the next stop had a welcoming crowd, greeting the runners with cheers, cowbells and high fives. “The day wouldn’t be complete without the entire crowd hJoining us dancing in the streets to YMCA. To say we have started to spread the message of inclusion does not seem to truly define the message we are delivering. A message of hope, acceptance and the promise to inclusion seems to be more appropriate.”

Sunday, the team was in the town celebrating its annual Chocolate Festival. Monday included a stop in village of Sestriere, which is the host for  the alpine sports of the 2025 Special Olympic Winter Games. Nova and Vercelli were the next locations, “Today was a day filled with great pride as it was Team 3’s opportunity to lead the Final Leg during our time in Vercelli. I can’t describe what it meant to me to be running stride for stride, shoulder to shoulder with our amazing Final Leg athletes, holding the Flame of Hope while leading 86 law enforcement officers from around the world through the streets of Vercelli…I am proud to represent the Illinois Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Illinois, the West Chicago Police Department and my hometown of Granite Falls, MN. ” Verbania not only was “ the most beautiful city we have visited thus far, but the people who were there to welcome the Flame of Hope were filled with excitement and encouraged us along our 2+ mile run.”

  • The top 7 Final Leg Torch Runners are assigned to an athlete participating in the Special Olympics Winter World Games and carry the Flame of Hope on the final circuit around the stadium at the opening ceremony. Peterson’s fundraising goal was $25,000, with all proceeds benefitting Special Olympics. His donation totaled $18,869. “I finished second out of my 86 teammates with funds raised on behalf of the Final Leg and the 2025 Special Olympic Winter World Games. Due to your generous contributions, I will be up front during the opening ceremony along with my Final Leg teammate, Jason Christopher. ”(He was number 1). https://merleburl.com

“The athletes were the stars Saturday. March 8, at Inalpi Arena in Turin.The Final Leg, a team of 86 officers from 19 countries, 8 amazing Special Olympics athletes, and our superb logistics team who kept us moving forward, came together 2 weeks ago as individual law enforcement officers from many different backgrounds. For some, this was their first experience on the Final Leg like me. For others, they returned as team leaders or torch runners. Regardless of where we all came from, we were all here for the same reason. To continue to spread the word of acceptance and inclusion throughout northern Italy and to make sure the Flame of Hope made it to the opening ceremony. Tonight, we accomplished that mission and I believe our message was heard and received throughout this beautiful country. Each village or city we visited welcomed us with open arms, full of excitement and encouragement. I witnessed people coming together for a common purpose. The Final Leg is more than just a run, it’s the springboard to establishing and sustaining the LETR programs in country’s that do not have a strong following so that they too can continue to assist and support the programs of Special Olympics. This Final Leg saw 5 Italian officers placed on teams, one on my team, who had little to no knowledge of what the LETR was all about. After these last couple weeks, I have no doubt they understand now and that they will continue to develop the LETR and torch run into their communities. Today we put on our uniforms and became Guardians of the Flame once again as the running was done. It was time to deliver the Flame of Hope to the athletes so that they could begin to fulfill their dreams of competing in the 2025 Special Olympic Winter World Games and boy did we deliver. It was truly an incredible and inspiring experience I will never forget. At the end of this experience, the 106 total individuals came together to become one family. A family that bonded quickly. A family that saw its share of injuries and sickness. A family that hurt together when learning of the passing of two of his fellow brothers who had been killed on duty the day prior to leaving. We started together, we finished together. We will always be one family!”  https://merleburl.com

As a side note, West Chicago Detective Sergeant Robbi Peterson did a wonderful job representing Special Olympics, LETR and our community in his once of a lifetime experience. Persons who might never have learned or heard about West Chicago, Illinois, now know about our community.

  • In the “Movie, “Singing in the Rain,’when Gene Kelly sings the title song, the rain pours down. The same thing occurred in Wheaton Academy’s recent production. Here are some interesting facts of how the rain shower takes place on stage. Ninety to 100 gallons of water were used per performance. The water drained through hidden seams in the decking and actually flowed upward. After being pumped 20 feet in the air, the water exited out of eighth inch holes, shooting up so that it broke into droplets on the way down, mocking the look of real rain. The rain is made visible by strategic lighting. A dedicated team of students operated three fans, two shop-vacs, and twelve mops to get the stage dry again. The fastest clean up time was 15 minutes. As a side note: When I saw this 16 years ago at the academy, the rain scene was awesome. https://merleburl.com
