FROM THE PRESIDENT
FROM THE FIELD
Greetings from the rain soaked southern part of the state. I think it’s interesting how every time I sit down to write this message the weather is doing something noteworthy. By the middle of May, no corn has been planted nor any forages made at that point. All following a crazy year in 2012 that had 2nd cutting hay ready to be made by now and some corn that got frostbit the first week of April. No matter the conditions we always have challenges and it appears 2013 won’t be any different. The first week of April I had the privilege to spend several days in Northern Illinois while I worked the Golden Opportunity Sale. While there I was excited by the hospitality of some fellow breeders that gave me the chance to visit with them and to look at their very high quality Holsteins. Thanks for your hospitality and taking time to express your views on the Illinois Holstein Association as well as a few other topics that came up. One of the highlights while there was a visit to Mil-R-Mor Farms where I met with Bob and
As I write this, I know many of you have been “chomping at the bit” to finish planting corn and bean and make hay. The wet spring put field work behind, but it doesn’t take a long memory to remember last summer’s drought and to be thankful for the rains we had this spring. I fondly remember my Grandma Hazel saying, “we can handle too much rain a lot easier than we can deal with no rain.” She always kept a great perspective about life on the farm. As we’re all very aware these days, making a living on the farm is challenging, especially in the dairy industry. As you look for financial corners to cut to stay within your available budget, I encourage you to not lose the value you have already invested in your herd by putting off registrations. You can take advantage of the best value by registering calves prior to 90 days of age and you can save an additional one dollar per animal by using the Easy ID program. If you need any help with registry work, or if you have any questions on how to save money with other Holstein Association programs and services, don’t hesitate to me. I’m always happy to help out or answer your questions. With some relevance to our financial challenges in the farming community, I recently saw a story on social media about a wealthy man who took his son to see how poor people lived. They spent a couple of days and nights on a farm of what would be considered a poor family. Upon returning home, the man asked his son if he had a good time and the boy said he did. The father asked his son if he had seen how poor people lived and again the boy acknowledged that he did. The man then asked his son what he had learned from their trip. The boy replied, “I saw that we have one dog and they have four. We have a pool that reaches halfway across our garden and they have a creek with no end. We have fancy lanterns hanging in our garden and they have the stars in the sky at night. We have a large yard and they have fields that reach farther than we can see. We have servants and they serve others. We buy our food and they raise theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us and they have neighbors and friends who protect each other.” The father was stunned after hearing his son’s answer and before he could speak, the boy added, “Thanks Dad, for showing me how poor we are.” It really is all about one’s perspective, isn’t it? As I finish, I’ve just watched some of the news coverage of the devastating storms in Oklahoma. Let’s remember to be thankful every day for what we do have instead of worrying about what we don’t, and be sure to remember to let those you love know it. Have a successful and safe planting season and I hope to see many of you at the shows this summer.
Lorilee. After looking over the many Excellent cows, I asked if they would consider hosting the state picnic and as gracious and willing as the Millers always seem to be they said yes and will be the 2013 host of our picnic, an event I will definitely be looking forward to. You can read their story on page XX of this Herald. The picnic will be held Saturday, September 21, at their farm in Orangeville. We invite you and your families to attend for a great day of hospitality with your fellow Holstein breeders. Some other upcoming events around the state include the June Board of Directors meeting and the Illinois Championship Show in July. I hope to see many of you there. If you have any comments or concerns about our association don’t hesitate to call. After all if the members of an organization don’t voice their thoughts we may miss out on an idea that “makes a difference”.
Kevin Wendling
FROM THE BOARD What a difference a year makes! This time last year we were beginning our second cutting of alfalfa having finished corn planting. You are all well aware of the cool, wet conditions that, to this point, have prevented much field work at all. Hopefully by the time you read this we will have been able to get needed field work done. Excitement is building for the 2013 National Holstein Convention to be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, July 8-11. This will be a perfect opportunity for us to gain experience in preparing to host the 2015 National Convention in Illinois. You will have the opportunity to visit some good breeders, take in some sights in Indianapolis and see how the Association works. The National Convention Sale is always a great opportunity to see what good Holsteins are worth. USDA and the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding recently signed a new cooperative agreement which will transfer processing of genetic evaluations to the Council. USDA has performed this function since it began in the 1960’s. The Council is a group of dairy industry stakeholders consisting of NAAB, DHIA, DRPC and PDCA organizations. Each
segment has 3 members for a voting body of twelve. If you have done any genomic testing recently, you may have noticed that additional charges have been added to pay for the costs of running the evaluations. These costs will now be borne by the dairy farmers which were previously paid by tax dollars. Be assured that your Association leadership will continue to represent the interests of dairy farmers as the transfer evolves. I look forward to visiting with you at Holstein events this summer. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call.

DUTCHESS DOMAIN Hello Holstein Breeders! Even though it seemed like spring took its sweet time arriving this year it won’t be long before we are all in the full swing of the summer show season. Even though spring weather may not have been upon us, it didn’t stop the State Sale from being a success, along with the Clinton County Classic, and the PDCA Calf sale. I would also like to commend the Illinois breeders for starting the show season strong, where the state was represented by outstanding cattle at both the New York Spring Show as well as the Wisconsin Spring Show. How exciting is it that we get to kick off the summer months celebrating June Dairy Month. I am looking forward to helping with the Boone County dairy breakfast along with helping local 4-H clubs promote the dairy industry. I would like encourage every one of us to get out and find a way to educate our consumers about an industry we care so much about. Also the state show will be held in Lincoln again this year, I would like to encourage any junior girl to consider running for Dutchess. It took me until my last possible year to run because
I don’t like public speaking and never got into doing these contest, but I couldn’t be happier that I finally decided to run for Dutchess; it has been a wonderful experience and it’s even better to be able to represent an industry that the people involved in it are so well bonded together. “As one door closes, another door opens”, is a saying that as I go through life I couldn’t agree with more. We don’t always understand why things happen the way they do, but there always seems to be an explanation or another opportunity waiting for us, that we just aren’t aware of at the time. As my term of being the 2012-2013 Illinois Holstein Dutchess comes to an end, it also raps up my time of being an Illinois junior Holstein member. As I reflect back I can’t imagine growing up any other way, there are memories that have been made whether it be at shows or attending other junior events, while attending these events I have also formed friendships that won’t just last a couple years, but a life-time. I would like to most importantly thank my parents for giving my brother, sister, and I all the opportunities they have growing up and I can’t imagine growing up any other way then on the dairy farm. Thank you again Illinois Holstein Breeders for allowing all the juniors all the opportunities you do, as they are our future!!

MIL-R-MOR TO HOST STATE PICNIC Each summer, one of the highlights for many of the Holstein breeders throughout Illinois is attending the annual IHA Picnic. Attendees have an opportunity to visit a farm they may never have been to before, see a variety of different milking operations and visit with fellow Holstein enthusiasts. This year, the Illinois Holstein Association once again is excited to invite everyone to Mil-RMor, the home of the Roxy family, for a day of hospitality and entertainment. Mil-R-Mor is owned by Bob and Kaye Miller and managed by granddaughter, Lorilee Schultz. Two of Bob and Kaye’s children, Craig and Kathy, are also involved in the farming operation. The story of Mil-R-Mor is one that most people are familiar with. As a native of Quebec, Bob Miller developed his eye for cattle through dairy judging, winning both the National and Provincial Dairy Judging Contests in 1951. Four years later, Bob moved to the United States and started his work as a herdsman. Eventually, he and his wife Kaye purchased their homestead in Dundee, Ill., just west of Chicago. It was here that Bob developed the Roxy family after she and nine other members of her family were purchased in 1974. Not only is “Roxy” a household name throughout North America being voted Queen of the Breed twice, but she was also crowned International Cow of the Century by Holstein International garnering 45% of the vote! Additionally, Roxy and her sister Rocket were also the selected as the AllTime All-American Produce of Dam, a title they still hold today. They are also the breed’s highest classified maternal sisters to date. When asked why he thought the Roxy family has transmitted so well generation after generation, Bob responded, “I wish I knew!” After a great deal of research from the Miller family, it was determined there are at least 515 direct Excellent female descendants. Here’s the breakdown: 16 3rd Generation 34 4th Generation 59 5th Generation 92 6th Generation 122 7th Generation 114 8th Generation 69 9th Generation 9 10th Generation Numbers truly don’t lie . . . some of the greatest cows the Holstein breed has ever seen trace their roots back to the Roxy family. Just one of those cows is Mil-R-Mor Roxette Canada’s first 30* Brood Cow. Roxette had 22 Excellent offspring including influential sire, Hanoverhill Raider. Roxy’s influence can be seen in almost every Registered herd today. From breed leading type females and bulls to outstanding production leaders as well. According to Bob, “Type did bring her fame but production was her game, although it may be the best-kept secret of the Roxy legend.” She is the only EX-97 3rd generation 200,000 lbs. lifetime cow. Many of Page 8
her offspring have gone on to make national and state milk, fat and protein records. And today, Bob’s breeding philosophy continues to be to breed Excellent cows that can produce 200,000 lbs. of 4% fat milk. They believe that kind of cow is a “labor efficient, profitable cow,” not only for registered breeders but the commercial market as well. Without a doubt, the Roxy family is still the strongest maternal line at Mil-R-Mor. Some cows are within 4 generations of Roxy, while others are 8th through potential 11th generation Excellents. However, they are also working with several other great cow families. There are over 20 members of the “Pearl” family, anchored by Pearlina EX, 300,000 LT, Pearl EX, 270,000 LT, and Pearleta EX, nearing 200,000 LTD. This family is moderately sized with solid type, consistent production, and outstanding reproductive efficiency. They also have a number of potential 10th generation Excellents from the Fancy Gay family, with their nearest 9 dams all averaging over 170,000 lifetime. One of Bob’s favorite cow families today is the Apple family, going back to D-R-A August. A few years ago they purchased Kamps-Hollow Augy-Red, a Debonair great-granddaughter of August, and they hope to continue breeding more high scoring, high lifetime cows with outstanding components from this family. Augy’s is exactly the type of pedigree they look for when investing in new herd members. For Bob and Lorilee, making marketing decisions is a joint effort. Lorilee has taken the past five years since she has been on the farm fulltime to learn all the wisdom Bob has to offer. Every day, they work hard to make the right matings and take the best care of their cows as possible. According to Loriee, “nothing ever goes perfectly, but sometimes all the hard work results in a little luck, as in the case of Mil-RMor Desire-Red-TW. It has been extremely gratifying to see one of our own be appreciated by so many other great breeders.” Desire was recently sold at the Redfest at Crescentmead for $25,000 by Westcoast Holsteins. Desire has gone on to be named HM Junior Champion at the R&W and B&W Midwest Spring Shows, Junior Champion of the R&W Western Spring National and won her class at the B&W Western Spring National. From making mating decisions to buying and selling cattle, Bob is handing over the reigns to granddaughter Lorilee. “Grandpa is a great thinker and has provided a lot of the vision and breeding philosophy to get the farm to this point” said Lorilee, “but Grandma has also been a huge inspiration to me. Its truly amazing how she has balanced farming and

family and finances so successfully and made it look so effortless!” In fact, while “A Home for Hard Working Mothers” has been the slogan for Mil-R-Mor for decades, it is evident that the cows aren’t the only hard-working ladies at the farm. In addition to Kaye and Lorilee, other key employees include assistant manager Val Greco and herdsperson Amy Schlappi. Val aides with breeding selections, sick cow management, and other day-to-day problems. Amy has been at the farm almost 5 years, milking and assisting with any other tasks that need done. “They are both extremely hard workers and I know I can count on them to do things right,” says Lorilee. Amy will soon be officially joining the Mil-R-Mor family, as she is marrying Lorilee’s brother Dave later this year. Bob & Kaye’s daughter Kathy has also taken a more active role on the dairy since the farm’s move to Orangeville. She is in charge of calf care and registration paperwork, in addition to always keeping the farm looking beautiful. While Kathy modestly downplays her contributions to the farm, Lorilee says she is the “hitch-pin” that keeps the farm and the whole extended family connected. Its not uncommon for any number Bob & Kaye’s five children and their spouses, 16 grandchildren and their spouses, and three (soon to be five!) great-grandchildren to show up at the farm to help out, hang out, and enjoy spending time on the farm together. Most farm families can appreciate the complexities of farm succession planning. They may not have all the details worked out, but the family is committed to continuing the legacy of Mil-R-Mor through the next generations. Even as their business evolves, they plan to follow the same breeding philosophy that has served them so well for the last 50+ years. And, according to Lorilee, “It’s also safe to say that the women of Mil-R-Mor will be a big part of that future!” Mil-R-Mor is extremely excited to invite you to the farm on Saturday, September 21 for the IHA Picnic. There will also be a 80th Birthday celebration for Bob follow lunch! View their ad on page 18 of the Midwest Holsteins section for more information or visit www. illinoisholsteins.com. Summer 2013

ANNA FOLGATE NAMED ILLINOIS YDJM_______ I live on a small grade Holstein farm of about 50 milking head. Ever since I was 8 and we moved into the house on the farm, I have been thoroughly amazed by the cows. While I was at school I loved to talk to my friends about life on the farm and all the great things that it involved. Living in a rural community meant some of the other kids lived on farms too and knew exactly what I was talking about. Dan Obert was one of those kids. He also lives on a dairy farm, but he has all registered Holsteins and he suggested that I show at the fair. I took his idea and enrolled in the Stephenson County 4-H group. From 4-H I joined the local dairy quiz bowl team and the local dairy judging team. I talked to my parents and made the decision to buy a registered Holstein to show at the Stephenson County fair. Through my grandparents, I got in contact with Bob and Jan Zarn from Stockton who owned registered Holsteins. Using my new knowledge from judging and my dad, I picked out my first registered Holstein and bought it all by myself. I got the money to buy my first heifer from selling my grade steer calves. Mystery LC Karla was the first registered Holstein on the Folgate Farm and I have been growing my herd slowly ever since. Dan's family had been showing at the fair since his sisters were little and he offered to let me tie with him since I only had one heifer. Since then, Dan and I tie together and help each other during the fair week. It was a lot of help to have his family there for advice. I was pretty much on my own because my dad had never even thought of showing since we only had grade Holsteins. I feel like buying my first heifer on my own made me a lot more responsible because it made sure it was something that I really wanted and would get into and see through. When it came time to breed Karla, my dairy judging coach said he could help. He gave me a list of what he had and I did some research and choose to breed her to Atwood. Since I only had registered Holsteins to show at the fair, I was really looking for something that would do good in the show ring. That year I also went back to the same farm in Stockton and bought another heifer so I would have two to show at the fair.

When I started spending more time in the barn with dad he started giving me more responsibilities. At the beginning it was small stuff like feeding the calves and feeding hay, but now I milk and am working to get the rest of our grade herd registered. We milk in a fortytwo stanchion barn with six milking units. Every night when I get home from school I have to go feed the milk cows their TMR. We like to feed the cows in the barn instead of a bunk outside so we can monitor how well the cows are eating and make sure they are staying healthy. After I get feed in front of the stanchions we bring the cows in and depending on how many dry cows we have, we have a waiting pen for when we have to switch milking groups. It usually takes us about an hour and a half to two hours to finish milking. On the weekends and days I do not have school I help dad do other chores like cleaning out the barn and feeding the heifers. After all the cows are out of the barn and in the pasture I scrape the aisle and pick all of the stalls. I run the gutters out and dad picks it up with the skid loader while he is scraping up the cow lot. When dad gets done he brings clean bedding into the barn and I make sure all the cows have enough under them for when they come back to get milked. I push the rest into the gutters and scrape down the aisle one last time before I spread lime. During the summer the cows are let into our pasture during the day and at night. We feed corn silage and alfalfa hay in the cow lot next to the barn. During the winter we still feed corn silage and alfalfa hay in the cow lot but the cows stay in the barn at night so they also get fed hay in there. I now have a herd of four registered Holsteins and seven grade Holsteins. When we first moved to the farm where I live now my Grandpa gave my brother and I each a grade Holstein calf. Since then I have been growing my grade herd as well as my registered herd. I use the money I get from selling my grade steers to buy registered heifers. I plan to keep the registered numbers growing and I am working to get the grade numbers down. Since I started having my own calves I decided to start my own prefix. Amazing-AF will hopefully be as big as the MilR-Mor prefix someday. AF stands for my initials while amazing explains my cows. When I was younger we used to have a grade bull on the farm and we never did AI. Last year we got rid of him and I convinced dad to buy a registered one. I tried to get him to AI but he said it was just too expensive. Starting in June we will be getting the first calves from our new bull and I plan to register them with the AmazingAF prefix so we can start improving the genetics
of our entire farm herd. Once we get some of these new heifers milking dad agreed that we could start getting them classified. Being a member of the Northwest Illinois Jr. Holstein club is one of the greatest achievements
Anna exhibiting her heifer, Whitey, at the Stephenson County 4-H Fair
I could have done. It has taught me so much knowledge about the dairy industry and also leadership and responsibility. I have been to five State Holstein Conventions where I have met tons of new friends who hold the same interests as me. Out of those five years I have been to two National Conventions, Virginia in 2011 for the dairy jeopardy contest, and Missouri in 2012 on the Illinois junior dairy bowl team. Last year at the Illinois State Fair I won the 2012 Superior Young Dairy Producer Scholarship. I still haven’t decided what college I want to go to yet but I am planning on making dairy science my major and pursuing a career in the dairy industry afterwords.

For the full list of Holstein Association USA Show RIng Policies, please visit www.holsteinusa.com. ENFORCEMENT OF HOLSTEIN SHOW RING POLICY Though the position on setting teats has been modified, it is the position of the Board of Directors that the practice should not be condoned and will be treated with slight to serious discrimination by the judge and show management. It is the responsibility of Holstein show judges at all levels of shows to take appropriate action if any teats are set or in any way manipulated to an unnatural position. While all milking animals must be subject to examination, the judge is instructed to closely examine the top five animals, not only for set teats, but for any other form of tampering requiring discrimination or disqualification. GENERAL RULES The Holstein Show Committee and the Illinois Holstein Association Board of Directors reserve the final and absolute right to interpret the rules and regulations of the Shows and will settle and determine all matters, questions, or differences in regard thereto or otherwise arising out of, or in connection with the Shows. In the event a question arises concerning the animal’s age, the Show Committee Chairperson may request that an individual registration certificate be checked at ringside. ILLINOIS HOLSTEIN SHOW RING POLICY The following practices or procedures are unacceptable in the showing of registered dairy cattle: i. Criticizing or interfering with the judge, show management, other exhibitors, or other conduct detrimental to the breed or show; ii. Misrepresenting the age or ownership of an animal or the number of calvings and/or stage of lactation; iii. Filling an animal’s rumen unnaturally with liquid (tubing); iv. Balancing the udder by any means other than leaving naturally produced milk in any or all quarters; v. Treating the udder internally with an irritant, counterirritant, or any other substance to temporarily improve conformation; vi. Overfilling or over bagging of udders; vii. Treating the udder externally with an irritant, counterirritant, or any other substance to temporarily improve conformation (allowable practices/ substances include sealing and setting teats, but not shrinking or shortening teats); viii. Roping udders and the use of objects to physically improve definition of the suspensory center ligament; ix. Administering epidural anesthesia (blocking tails) and/or applying any irritant either externally or internally to the perineal (rectum and vagina) area; x. Inserting foreign material/articles under the skin, into the topline or on the feet (administration of acceptable medications is permitted); xi. Performing surgery of any kind to change the natural contour of appearance of the animal’s body, hide, or hair. Not included is the removal of warts, teats, horns, clipping and dressing of hair and trimming of hooves; xii. Draining of fluid from hocks unless authorized by a veterinarian at the show. xiii. Excessive manipulation of hair and/or the use of any hair not naturally attached to the animal or the use of any substance or material which is intended to resemble or intimate hair; xiv. Mistreatment of animals; xv. Any un-sportsmanship like conduct during the event.

MONITORING PROCEDURES The Ethics Committee, as defined below, shall have the authority to inspect all animals to determine if violations of Illinois Holstein Association Show Ring Policy have occurred. To help in this regard, the Ethics Committee has the authority to perform and review results of the following: i. An ultrasound examination of the udder of selected animals immediately upon completion of respective milking class competition. It shall be the exhibitor’s responsibility to deliver the selected cow to the designated testing area. Within a reasonable time following said testing, the ultrasound official shall submit his/her report to the Illinois Holstein Association. ii. A milk out of any individual cow and/or iii. The collection and testing of any of the animal’s body fluids and/or iv.

The Ethics Committee or Show Chairman may, at any time, require the delivery to them of any hair samples or hypodermic syringe, needle or other device, swabs, cloths, or other material, or samples or any medicine, preparation, or substance, whether in liquid or other form, in the possession or control of exhibitor, fitters, agents, or person acting on behalf of exhibitor for analysis. ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES i. The Illinois Holstein Association Board of Directors shall appoint an Ethics Committee to monitor
violations at all state sponsored shows. The Ethics Committee shall consist of an anonymous team of at least three members. ii. Complaints of alleged violations must be presented in written and signed form to the Show Chairman of respective show no later than the final day of the respective show, except ultrasound results as noted as above. iii. If it is suspected that a violation will occur if an animal is shown the Show Chairman will inform the exhibitor that the showing of that animal may result in a violation of the Illinois Holstein Association Show Ring Policy. If the exhibitor decides not to show that animal, no violation will have occurred. iv. All complaints of alleged violations (as is designated in Enforcement Procedures point #2) received by the Show Chairman must be presented in written and signed form to the IHA for review of the Ethics Committee within five (5) days of receiving that notice of alleged violations, with the Ethics Committee to make a decision on the violations within ten (10) days. v.

Cost associated with the review and/or appeals process must be paid in full; if this assessment is not paid in full the violator(s) will not be in “good standing” with the Illinois Holstein Association and therefore be denied any and all membership benefits of the association (voting, showing, etc.). viii. Illinois Holstein Association Board of Directors and/ or the Show Committee may consider previous violations by an exhibitor in their decision of disciplinary action. ix. During this entire process the Directors of the Illinois Holstein Association Board, the Ethics Committee, the Show Committee, and members will not be obligated to maintain confidentiality.

ILLINOIS JUNIOR JOURNEYS Kyle Mitchell Memorial Award At this year’s Annual Spring Thing meeting, the fourth Kyle Mitchell Memorial Award was presented Sarah Sheehan, in memory of late Junor member, Kyle Mitchell of Winnebago. Below are excerpts of the presentation given in its inaugural year, prepared by Junior Advisor, Melissa Irwin. “It is both a pleasure and a challenge for me to introduce an award being offered to IJHA members. [In 2008] our association has lost one of its favorite members. In response to that the juniors at the fall meeting decided to start a new award in memory of Kyle Mitchell. At the December committee meetings this was discussed further and it was decided that a traveling plaque would be awarded as well as something for the recipient to keep. A special thanks goes out to Becky Meier, Lorilee Schultz, Brian Olbrich, and Kathy Miller for assisting me with the development of the award and the criteria by which the nominees would be judged and for nominating five well rounded young people for the award. First, lets remember Kyle. The Mitchell family lives in Winnebago, Ill., and they have a herd of 110 cows and they farm 1600 acres. The family has been very active in Holstein and other dairy related organizations for many years. Unfortunately, last July Kyle and his father Mike died from Methane poisoning in the manure pit. It was indeed a tragedy. Something so horrible should not happen to such wonderful people. So let Kyle and Mike's death just simply remind us to be careful on the farm and also to not take life for granted. With much determination Jan, John, and Aaron are continuing to dairy. The Mitchell's participated in many activities as a family. They had the opportunity to spend time together at a number of National Conventions and Mike and Jan love to be there to cheer on their boys. Dairy bowl and Dairy Jeopardy were a favorite activity for the Mitchell family. In 2007, Kyle received an award for having a cow that produced over 200,000 lbs of milk, what an accomplishment!
Melissa Irwin presents the 2013 Kyle Mitchell Memorial Award to Sarah Sheehan Illinois Holstein Herald
Kyle was always very dedicated. He was a good student, athlete, band member and had a wonderful personality. One of his favorite actives was dairy bowl. What a competitor he was. He was dedicated to studying and preparing for contests and was very knowledge and quick on the buzzer. It was fun to watch him as he was confident and knowledgeable. The committee who put the criteria together for this award really tried to focus on Kyle and the attributes that made him an outstanding member of the junior Holstein organization. *Encompasses complete junior career *Fully participates in activities *Mentors younger members Kyle's mom, Jan, mentioned to me that Kyle didn't care who you were but as long as you played his game whether it be soccer, band or dairy bowl, he accepted you. How true that was. He always welcomed new members into dairy bowl and made them feel a part of the group. One of the biggest focuses of the committee was on Kyle's positive attitude. Everyone who knew him knew he had a very positive outlook on life. He used that positive attitude to be a good leader. Although he didn't hold any state junior office he was involved in many activities like Spring Thing, Conventions, showing, and fundraising. Kyle indeed had many attributes which showed his genuine character. Indeed he was a well rounded individual. But, one thing we all know for sure was the Kyle could sure be a character. He had a way of making people laugh and helping contestants to relax when the competition got tough. We are all better for having known Kyle and he will be missed.” The committee had a record number of nominations this year and Sarah Sheehan of Huntley, Ill., was selected as the fourth recipient. Sarah has been a valuable member of the IJHA by being involved in a variety of activities. She has served in numerous leadership positions and has been willing to participate in a full range of activities. Sarah is currently serving as IJHA President and last year served as Vice President and State Show Chair. Sarah has been on many state dairy bowls and has also competed in Dairy Jeopardy at the National level as well. Sarah is an accomplished public speaker and has represented Illinois in the National Public Speaking Contest several times. Sarah is a granddaughter of Bob Miller and has exhibited Mil-R-Mor cattle at the local and state level. Sarah will be a Junior at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign this fall. She is studying human development and family studies and she is on the Dean’s List. She plans

IN MEMORIAM Carolyn Angle On a soft, spring day, April 14, 1925, in Freeport, Ill., Vera and Vernon Heck became the proud parents of Carolyn Lola. Carolyn was raised on the farm and near Orangeville, learning the values of country life. Her love of God, belief in family, love of education, and strong sense of service to others was fostered in small town northern Illinois. Carolyn always had a love of teaching, especially with young children. She sold her 4-H steer to finance her initial college experience at Northern Illinois Teachers College. Carolyn remained teaching until she met a visiting coach who captured her heart. August 29, 1948, Carolyn married John Francis McKenna. To their delight 5 daughters completed their family. Carolyn completed her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls and returned to the classroom. She taught kindergarten and first grade while moving from Wisconsin to Iowa, New Jersey and finally settling in Longmont, Colorado. In Colorado Carolyn earned a Masters in Educationally Handicapped students from the University of Northern Colorado. She then began teaching learning disabled students which she continued until her retirement. After retirement Carolyn was a volunteer at the elementary school across the street, working with students who needed help in reading.

A woman of strong faith, church has always been a vital part of Carolyn’s life. Carolyn lived her faith providing a wonderful example of compassion for others to emulate. A ready smile and genuine interest in others, Carolyn made friends where ever she went. Family was very precious to Carolyn. She had the gift of making all of her daughters feel very special and appreciated. She taught the virtues of patience, loving kindness and devotion to each other. They say that you can never go home again. Not so. After John died, Carolyn reconnected with her high school boyfriend, Bill Angle. On September 1, 2007 Carolyn and Bill were married in Freeport and Carolyn moved back to the farm; Bill’s farm in Dakota. Bill and Carolyn were a joy to watch. Holding hands, going out to eat and for a Sunday drive exploring the countryside; who says that 82-year-olds can’t have fun? Carolyn died on February 4, at home on the farm. While her bright eyes and broad smile will be greatly missed she leaves with us her legacy of caring for others and strong faith in God. Carolyn is survived by her husband Bill Angle of Dakota, Ill. Daughters Angie and husband Jim Sodey, IA; daughter Mary McKenna, NV; daughter Kathy and husband Brad Lichtenheld, CO; daughter Peggy and husband Greg Johnson, AZ; daughter Jacci McKenna, CO.; 7 grandchildren and 9 greatgrandchildren.
