Fire service transition continues Antioch FD will be folded into protection district

By Sandra Landen Machaj CORRESPONDENT

Count Antioch’s Nancy Rae among the people who were saddened to hear the recent announcement that the famous Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus would forever cease operations in May. Like many children, after enjoying the circus, Rae dreamed of growing up to become a circus performer. However, unlike the majority of childhood dreamers, her dream to become a circus clown became a reality. Rae, who was born in 1958, applied to the circus’ Clown College many times over a period of two years until she was finally accepted in the early 1980s. “They would receive about 6,000 applications and only accept about 60 to 80 for the college,” Rae said. “But I didn’t give up.” At one of the tryouts, she was told she would have a better chance if she played a musical instrument, so she quickly took up the coronet. She learned to play one song, but it was enough. She was accepted into the Clown College. In the college there were a lot of skills to learn. Classes included juggling, learning to ride a unicycle, and stilt walking. “I became very good at stilt walk-

The Antioch Joint Fire Committee continues to meet until a five-member board is elected to replace the current three-member board that is appointed by Antioch Township. The committee met Jan 25 to discuss the transition. Included in the meeting were the First Fire Protection District Board, Protection District Attorney Dan Venturi, Interim Fire Chief Jon Cokefair, Village Trustee Scott Pierce, Village Attorney Bob Long and Village Administrator Jim Keim. Township Trustee Tom Shaughnessey was also present. Cokefair reported on consolidation issues that have been addressed. Village-insured equipment was transferred to the protection district by resolution, insurance verification was completed, an operating license from the Illinois Department of public Health has been obtained and the ambulance licenses will be obtained along with a title transfer. The MABAS agreement, which is a cooperative pact among neighboring fire and rescue groups, has

A 32-year-old Ingleside man has been charged with felony attempted vehicular hijacking, along with two misdemeanors, stemming from a Jan. 26 incident in the 300 block of West Highway 173. Vincent P. Varela allegedly stopped traffic on Highway 173, where a 29-yearold motorist halted travel to avoid striking Varela, Vince P. Varela who stood in the middle of the highway, according to an Antioch Police Department news release. “After stopping his vehicle, the unknown subject, later identified as Varela, opened the driver’s side door and told the victim to get out of the car,” the release states. After the victim refused, Varela is accused of striking him in the face, and attempted to pull the 29-year-old from the vehicle. However, the victim managed to escape following a struggle with Varela, and retreated to a parking lot near the scene, where he called for help shortly before 8 p.m.

Obregon pleads guilty in surprise move Fugitive who was arrested in Lake County to be sentenced April 4 By Jason Arndt STAFF WRITER

A day after Andrew Obregon made a brief appearance in Kenosha County (Wis.) Circuit Court, where he expected to face 28 felony charges in a jury trial next week, the 33-year-old took a plea bargain Friday. Obregon, who eluded authorities for 22 days in 2015 after they discovered 37-year-old Tywon Anderson’s remains in a Town of Paris, Wis., cornfield, allegedly stole multiple vehicles and robbed two convenience stores. He was finally arrested in Lake County following another car chase that ended when Obregon fled the car on foot and was taken down by a police dog in Zion. Before Obregon took the plea, he faced life in prison plus 435 years in prison, but instead, he could serve life imprisonment plus 150 years. Sentencing is set for April 4. The plea stunned Kenosha County Sheriff

David Beth, who noted court officials had prepared for the Monday jury trial before Circuit Court Judge Chad Kerkman. On Thursday, Obregon and court officials held a jury status hearing, which revealed about 170 of 200 prospective jurors returned their questionnaires in preparation for next week’s trial. “As of yesterday afternoon, we thought the jury trial was going to happen next week,” Beth said. “But, the public defenders office actually called the court today, Judge Kerkman’s court, and asked to have a plea hearing.” “This was a complete shock to us, we didn’t know this was going to happen,” he added. Obregon pleaded guilty to first-degree intentional homicide in the death of Anderson, first-degree attempted homicide stemming from his role in a beating of a Brighton, Wis., woman, felony armed robbery along with three counts of eluding/ fleeing an officer.

Two men rescued after falling through ice Two men fell through the ice while fishing at around 3:10 p.m. on Jan. 22, on Channel Lake, in unincorporated Antioch, according to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office. The two men were returning to the shore when they both fell through the ice around 100 yards offshore, a news release

said. One man was able to pull himself out of the water while the other was rescued by members of the Antioch Fire Department approximately 30 minutes later, the release stated. One man was transported to Saint Catherine’s Hospital in Kenosha, Wis., and the other

man was transported to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville. According to the release, both men had non-life threatening injuries. The Lake County Sheriff’s Office reminds area residents the ice on the lakes can be thin due to warm temperatures.

SUBMITTED PHOTO Hi-Liter

Nancy Rae, of Antioch, as a Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus clown. Rae was one of the first clowns to exhibit a more feminine look. With softer makeup, a costume with more “girlie” touches and the use of a bright pink nose instead of the traditional red, there was no mistaking her for a male clown. Inset: These red and yellow clown shoes are large and heavy but comfortable, according to Rae. They came with a learning curve, however, because it was easy to trip over the toes.

riding the elephant, she slid off the side. Fortunately she slid away from the elephant and in true clown fashion dashed out of the ring much to the surprise of the ringmaster who questioned where she came from. Although she only remained in the circus for one year, it was a year in her life that she will always remember fondly. On Jan. 14, Kenneth Feld, Chairman and CEO of Feld Entertainment, owners of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus, announced that after 146 years, the circus will close forever in May. He cited declining attendance, changes in public taste, and prolonged battles with animal rights groups for the closure. Rae said she is concerned about the families that will lose their jobs. “Some of the families have been in this business for generations. I don’t know what they will do once they are forced to leave the circus,” she added. She also fears new generations of children will never experience the wonder and excitement of what was billed as the Greatest Show on Earth!

girl clown. Her makeup was applied with not as heavy a touch. She focused on long eyelashes and choose a pink nose instead of the traditional red. With her blond wig there was no mistaking her for a male clown. Clowns had to design and sew their own costumes. For Rae this included a more “girlie look.” She added ruffles and used fabric with softer colors and prints. Upon completion of Clown College a show was produced and representatives from the circus came to choose clowns they believed would be an asset to the circus. Rae was one of the students awarded a one-year contract with Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus in 1981. Rae said she was always ready to try any job in the circus. She would arrive early in the morning hoping she would be given a chance to perform a skill that she hadn’t yet done. One of her favorites was being allowed to ride the elephants. She was chosen to ride them in the opening and closing parade on three occasions. On one occasion her ride was a little more eventful than the others. While

An IT person will be supplied from Cyber Construction, a viable phone system has been secured and all cellular service transferred. Cokefair is analyzing the viability and financial feasibility of keeping CenCom for dispatch services or moving to FoxCom. Both are smaller services. Currently, the Village of Antioch police and the Antioch Fire Department use CenCom. In addition to the base cost, there is a cost per call, which

(Continued from front page) is determined at the end of the year and other fees. Membership fees and cost per call are not the only factors in determining the dispatch service – viability is also a consideration, according to officials. Since both services are small, it is possible the state will expect either a consolidation of the two or some other arrangement. The Antioch Police Department uses CenCom and it’s possible that the membership cost could rise for that organization should the fire department pull out of that group. The police are often

dispatched for fire calls. Cokefair says analyzing the best dispatch service for the organization is ongoing. A promotion ceremony is planed for Feb 16, with details to come soon. According to fire protection district Trustee Matt Tabar, “The joint committee will continue working through the transition to the department all under control of district. (The) fiscal year starts May 1.” The next Joint Fire Committee meeting is scheduled for March 22 and will be held at the Antioch Fire Station.

Nancy Rae, of Antioch, as a Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus clown. Rae was one of the first clowns to exhibit a more feminine look. With softer makeup, a costume with more “girlie” touches and the use of a bright pink nose instead of the traditional red, there was no mistaking her for a male clown. Inset: These red and yellow clown shoes are large and heavy but comfortable, according to Rae. They came with a learning curve, however, because it was easy to trip over the toes.

riding the elephant, she slid off the side. Fortunately she slid away from the elephant and in true clown fashion dashed out of the ring much to the surprise of the ringmaster who questioned where she came from. Although she only remained in the circus for one year, it was a year in her life that she will always remember fondly. On Jan. 14, Kenneth Feld, Chairman and CEO of Feld Entertainment, owners of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus, announced that after 146 years, the circus will close forever in May. He cited declining attendance, changes in public taste, and prolonged battles with animal rights groups for the closure. Rae said she is concerned about the families that will lose their jobs. “Some of the families have been in this business for generations. I don’t know what they will do once they are forced to leave the circus,” she added. She also fears new generations of children will never experience the wonder and excitement of what was billed as the Greatest Show on Earth!

With her blond wig there was no mistaking her for a male clown. Clowns had to design and sew their own costumes. For Rae this included a more “girlie look.” She added ruffles and used fabric with softer colors and prints. Upon completion of Clown College a show was produced and representatives from the circus came to choose clowns they believed would be an asset to the circus. Rae was one of the students awarded a one-year contract with Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus in 1981. Rae said she was always ready to try any job in the circus. She would arrive early in the morning hoping she would be given a chance to perform a skill that she hadn’t yet done. One of her favorites was being allowed to ride the elephants. She was chosen to ride them in the opening and closing parade on three occasions. On one occasion her ride was a little more eventful than the others. While

Mother loses her job after ALS diagnosis Dear W.C., I have been reading about all the good work you do in our community but never thought I would need to write you a letter. I am not writing for myself but for a family that lives down the street. I have been friends with the woman for years. She has been diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). She had to give up her job now because it is progressing quicker than expected. They are struggling because of the loss of her income. I drove by yesterday and noticed the husband carrying her up their front stairs. This brought tears to my eyes as just last year she was running up those stairs. Could you

check on this family, as I know they are probably struggling both financially and with the limited accessibility in their home. Dear Readers, Again an observant, caring neighbor has brought someone struggling to our attention. For many of our areas of assistance we rely on letters, referrals and our observant neighbors and

teachers to make us aware of our fellow creations in desperate need. This family was living with not only the fear and stress of a life-changing disease diagnosis; they were also living with the fear and stress of impending poverty. We knew we could at least make their struggle with poverty easier, allowing them to focus on what they could do to make the woman’s life more comfortable and accessible. I arrived at the address and found there were indeed steps to both the front and back entrances. I knocked on the door and it was answered by who I assumed was the husband. I introduced myself and told him about The Time

Rebecca Zurek, of Prince of Peace Catholic School in Lake Villa, was chosen as the First Runner-Up in the Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) Essay Contest. The contest was open to Students in 7-12th grades nationally who participate in the Team America Rocketry Challenge

Youthful rocketeer Eighth grader takes second in national essay contest

Rebecca Zurek, of Prince of Peace Catholic School in Lake Villa, took on the Team America Rocketry Challenge essay contest as one of the youngest entrants in the aerospace industry competition. Zurek, an eighth-grader, was tasked with developing a short essay on why they participate in the TARC program, according to a news release issued by her school. Answers ranged from education to aspiration, and stories of finding success in failure and learning from teammates emerged as themes, the release states. Following evaluations of compiled essays, which had competitors from seventh through 12th grades, Zurek received first runner-up accolades. “Rebecca is the youngest finalists by four years, the other two finalists are seniors in high school,” the release states. Zurek wrote that the aerospace industry has inspired her to pursue a career in the field. “I do TARC because it enables me to express who I am and what I aspire to be in the future,” Zurek wrote. “I yearn to build rockets that go into deep space and help better our civilization.” In addition to the organization efforts of Aerospace Industries Association and the National Association of Rocketry, TARC is sponsored by the Raytheon Company, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Thales USA and 19 other partners.

Is Now to Help. He asked who had referred them to our organization. I told him, “one of your wonderful neighbors.” The man tried to contain tears that threatened to spill down his cheeks as he said, “one of my neighbors? I didn’t think any of them knew what we were going through. I have kept this to just our family for the most part. We are still trying to understand how this will affect our lives in the future. It is all so overwhelming.” I could see he was struggling with the diagnosis and their uncertain future. I said, “If we could talk for just a little while maybe I can help you sort out the financial changes you are going through. I have helped several families that have gone through this before and I have learned a lot from them about what to plan for.” The man stepped aside and invited me inside their home. The man brought me to a woman sitting in a chair. He introduced me to his wife who held out a trembling hand for me to shake. Her voice shook as well as she said hello. The husband told his wife why I was there and she too was happily surprised that one of their neighbors would write a letter in their behalf. I commented, “Your neighbor was concerned for your family and wanted to find a way to help. Writing to us was the best way they knew how.” After we spoke for a few more minutes I could see the woman was tiring. The husband asked if she needed anything and then told her to rest while we talked in the other room. She seemed relieved to not have to talk any longer and I watched as she immediately closed her eyes to rest. The husband and I went to the adjoining room to talk. The man asked, “How does this usually work? I have never asked for help before in my life. Before my wife’s disease began to affect her ability to work I would have just asked you to leave and not accepted any help. Now that she can no longer walk on her own and is starting to have other symptoms we are realizing this is much more than we were prepared for. We have two teenage children that are at school right now and they need our support still. We had a small savings, which has already been decimated by what we have had to pay out of pocket for her medical costs. Now we have to find a way to make alterations to this house or we move out and lose our security deposit. I can’t imagine trying to move right now on top of everything else…” The husband put his head in his hands and wiped at his eyes again trying to keep the tears from falling. I asked the husband if he would like to pray with me and he nodded his head, whispering, “I would like that very much.” We said a wonderful prayer, pouring out our hearts to the Lord, praising him for his blessings amid the struggles and asking for his guidance and healing. After we finished our prayers I began to ask the father the personal questions I must ask to find out the best course of action to take to remove the pains of poverty. The man shared with me the very private financial changes they had been

struggling with. He said he had been hiding a lot of the bills from his wife to save her any more worry or stress, knowing this would not help her disease progression in any way. I asked the husband if he had asked the landlord about making the home handicap accessible. The husband said he had not. I suggested he contact the landlord immediately to find out if he make the home handicap accessible as this would be the deciding factor in if they would have to move or not. The man asked, “Right now?” I said, “Would you like me to call?” He declined my offer saying, “I have a good relationship with our landlord. We have rented this home for five years now. I should be the one to ask.” I told the man to tell his landlord that The Time Is Now to Help would be putting a wheelchair ramp on the home. The husband asked, “You will?” I answered, “It is up to your landlord now so let’s see what he has to say.” After his honest conversation with his landlord, the landlord had not been aware of the difficulties the family was encountering; he not only allowed the installation of the wheelchair ramp he also offered to lower their rent slightly each month and extended their lease for three more years. This would allow the family to stay in the home they were familiar with and not have to endure a stressful move. I took a brief walk around the home, pointing out a few other areas to change to make the home easier to maneuver for his wife as she began to rely more and more on a wheelchair. The husband and I went over the bills he had been hiding from his wife. The utilities were overdue. We paid these to bring them up to date and paid some into the future. The husband shared they had already sold his wife’s car but now they knew they would be needing a handicap accessible van in the near future. He had already been lifting his wife in and out of the car in addition to carrying her up and down the stairs. We were nearly finished with our visit when we heard the wife weakly calling from the adjacent room. The husband jumped to his feet and rushed to see what she needed. I gave them their privacy as I heard him help his wife to the bathroom. After a few minutes he returned, apologizing for his abrupt departure. I reassured him his wife’s needs were much more important. I wrote down some additional help that he could apply for and he was very grateful for the suggestions I made. I again watched as the husband looked away trying to hide his tears. I said, “I know this is a huge change for not just your wife but for your whole family. We have volunteers that can help if needed and there are other people that can help too. Don’t be afraid to ask for any more help if you need it. We are here for you.” This time the man’s tears fell. After saying my goodbyes to the wife the husband walked me to the door. At first he began to shake my hand but then said,

“I owe you a hug not a hand shake.” I hugged the husband and told him I would contact him soon with the date for the ramp installation and when we found a suitable handicap accessible vehicle. Two weeks later a ramp was quickly installed by a caring construction crew. We also had them make a few of the modifications in the home. A wheelchair accessible van was found and delivered to the stunned family. The wife was trying to wipe away her own tears as she struggled to say, “How can I thank The Time Is Now to Help? We would never have been able to get to my doctor’s appointments or even my daughters school events without this van. I feel so much better knowing my family will not have to go through this with me alone. And the ramp has allowed me to stay here with my family. I could not have expected my husband to keep carrying me up and down those stairs.” The wife seemed exhausted again from her excitement and short speech. I watched as the husband lovingly wheeled her up the new ramp and brought her inside to rest. Since our assistance over a year ago the woman is now in hospice. Her family is trying to prepare the best they can for what they know is soon to come. We have helped a few more times with utilities and van repairs. They have been able to manage on their own, even with the many missed days of work the husband has had to take. The husband and I have shared several more prayers and hugs of encouragement. We are so grateful for this caring and observant neighbor that felt in her heart that this family was struggling. If it was not for her love for her fellow creations this family would have certainly felt the sharp pains of poverty in addition to the pains of a debilitating disease stealing away their loved one. Thank you for allowing us to help this family and the many families, senior citizens, the handicapped, children, veterans and single mothers helped each week because of your generosity.

Historic Antioch store toAntioch unveil new bar Fine Wine and Liquors in 51st year By Jason Arndt STAFF WRITER

Launched in 1966, Antioch Fine Wine and Liquors has undergone a series of changes, but remains in the same family. The family, which includes original employee Don Kosh, who started when he was 15 years old, expects to formally unveil its latest change Feb. 4 when customers are invited to grand opening of its bar. Vice President Adam Kosh, son of Don, said the bar opening delivers more than fine wine. “We are going to have food from Embers,” said Adam, referring to the restaurant next door. “They are Super Bowl type of hors d’oeuvres, because it is the day before the Super Bowl.” Along with food offerings, Antioch Fine Wine and Liquors plans to hold raffle drawings, in addition to gift certificates for the bar.

The bar had been a topic of discussion for about five years, according to Adam, who reportedly received a dual license from the Village of Antioch two years ago to sell on the premises. Following two years of adjustments and modifications, they received a wine preservation system, among other items. “We are going to have a 16-tap wine system. It’s a wine preservation system, so wine can stay good,” Adam said. “While they are on that system, they are under pressure. “We will have 16 wines that we can sell by the glass, we’ll have at least three beers on tap.” Adam added. Unlike the standard bar, the intent of the new bar is to serve customers as they browse through the store’s vast inventory. “(The bar) is for drinking here, while people shop or if they want to stand or sit by

the bar,” he said. “We will have all kinds of whiskey.” The bar opening runs from noon until 5 p.m. A look back Adam, who previously worked as an attorney, ventured into the family business 19 years ago as a change of pace. “This is more fun,” he said. Before he came into the business, the store underwent at least two location changes, due to space limitations at earlier sites. “The earlier stores were too small,” said Linda, wife of Don. However, since 1986, the business has boomed at its current address, 1180 S. Main St. “We are right on the corner, it’s a better location,” said Adam, noting the building sits on highways 173 and 83. As their property changed,

so did customer demands, but the business continues to adapt to changing preferences. “Things have changed a lot, even since I have been here,” said Adam. “There has been huge demand for craft beers and bourbon,

whiskey and scotch.” Limited bottling raffles Noting the rarity of some bourbon types, customers with reward points are eligible to win a rare bourbon bottle, according to the website.

Available bourbon bottles, including dates they accept tickets and when they expect to draw a winner, are posted in the store’s Facebook page and website. To access the website, visit http://www.antiochwine. com/

Kyle Janssen (car 99) prepares to race in a summer go-cart series in Wisconsin. In- career but also budget carefully and keep the son’s career on track. Kyle is seeking a set: Kyle Janssen (left) and his father, Zach, have been working to start Kyle’s racing $50,000 sponsorship prize.

Youth racer wants votes Walworth boy seeks $50,000 prize for racing career By Michael S. Hoey CORRESPONDENT

lection season is over, but Kyle Janssen wants your vote. Kyle is a local go-kart racer who entered the 2017 Champion Auto Parts “Search for a Champion” contest with a $50,000 sponsorship as the grand prize. Kyle, 13, is an eighth-grader at St. Andrew Parish School, Delavan, Wis., and lives in the Town of Walworth. Kyle, who also enjoys basketball, hockey, making model cars and racing radio-control cars, got into racing go-karts at the age of 9 after watching his father, Zach, have a go at it at a “turnkey” go-kart event for his birthday. The event allows participants to come to the track, rent a kart and participate in a race. These are not amusement-park go-karts. These karts go 50 mph or faster. Kyle came along to watch and quickly decided he had to have a turn. His father made him earn it by requiring him to do well on several reading assignments. Kyle got the job done and gave it a try. He liked it so much that the Janssens purchased a kart for him the following summer. Kyle said he was a little nervous early that summer but several people at his home track at the time –Sugar River Raceway in Brodhead – helped teach him how to drive. He said about halfway through that first summer, and right after winning his first race, he knew racing was something he wanted to commit to long-term. Kyle now belongs to the Badger Kart Club in Dousman. Kyle pays a membership fee, attends meetings and volunteers to work at least one day at the raceway as part of his

membership. With a membership comes cheaper entry fees to club races at the track and cheaper practice rates. Club races can cost $80 to $100 without a membership. Kyle races for $60 and typically practices at the track the week of a race. Kyle has progressed in his racing to the point where he doesn’t race in club races much anymore. The next step up is to compete in regional series races like The Route 66 Sprint Series and the Mid-American Sprint Series. In Wisconsin, Kyle has raced in Dousman, Brodhead and Shawano. Kyle has also raced in Illinois and Indiana. Kyle races in the 12- to 15-yearold age division with a Yamaha KT 100 kart that has no suspension system. Kyle said a suspension helps when the kart is sliding on grass, but it actually slows the kart down on asphalt. He said his kart can go 70 mph, and some karts can go 100. Kyle said he is considering upgrading his engine this coming summer to an engine that can go 85 mph. Kyle said his races are many times a family event as his mother, Tina, and father and two brothers, Neil and Joel, all come along to provide support. For the longer trips, just Kyle and his father go. To save money, they even built a counter and added a microwave, refrigerator, and futon inside their trailer, and they sleep there instead of spending the money on hotel rooms. Kyle said the travel can be fun unless the weekend doesn’t go well. He listens to music on his downtime and gets the chance to try new tracks, try new racing lines against good competition. Zach Janssen said many of the families they see at races spend so

much money on racing that they treat race weekends as family vacations, and the weekends get very social. He said his family treats racing more like an investment. While Kyle hopes to become a professional racecar driver in the future, mom and dad also see other opportunities beyond just racing. “He is talented at racing,” Zach said. “He also gets to work on conversation skills, record-keeping and budgeting.” Tina said Kyle, at the age of 11, met with the president of Mecum Auctions to make a presentation that earned him a sponsorship. That also led to Kyle writing three articles for Mecum Magazine in the past three years about his racing career. Kyle said he also has learned marketing skills, how to talk to sponsors and mechanical skills. Kyle said he is not just a racer – he has learned to care for his kart as well. He said he is excited that Delavan-Darien High School, which he plans to attend through open enrollment, is bringing back an auto mechanics course. He also plans to take engineering and computer-design classes and might look at a career in mechanical engineering or automobile design or as a race-team mechanic. Kyle admitted that the speed of racing is one of the things he likes most. He also loves the competition of driving against other good drivers. It has also been a good bonding experience with his father as they travel together and learn about go-kart mechanics together. Kyle said his biggest challenge came July 30 in South Bend, Ind., when another driver turned into him while Kyle was passing him, causing Kyle to flip his kart. Kyle was pinned upside down with his foot stuck

on the accelerator for more than 30 seconds before someone got to him to help. Kyle suffered a broken collarbone and cracked ribs. The kart sustained minimal damage, but Kyle lost most of the rest of his season as he recovered. Kyle raced in 20 events last summer and plans to compete in 25 this summer. He said his recovery was difficult as he had to learn to do things differently while he was on the mend. He also had to regain his strength and endurance. Once he returned to racing, Kyle said he was nervous when he made his first pass, but it went cleanly and everything was fine after that. Tina said she could tell Kyle was passionate about racing early on and was encouraged by how excited he was by it. Like many moms would be, she gets nervous about the speed at which her son is flying around the track and the overly aggressive driving she has seen from other drivers. She said things got really scary for her when Kyle flipped his kart. She even thought at first he had been thrown from the kart. Like a true dad, Zach had concerns about the cost and time commitment involved in racing. Kyle said an entry-level kart can cost $5,000. Families that really get into racing can spend close to $100,000 including kart, equipment, transportation of the kart and the recreational vehicles they travel in. Kyle now races for Team Franklin Motorsports after starting his career on his own. He said racing for a team means he can get the services of driving coaches and data analysis that can make him a better racer. He said the Search for a Champion contest could provide him with a

$50,000 sponsorship with Champion Auto Parts that would allow him to race nationally and possibly attend a three-day race school at which he can get licensed to race cars. Kyle has already been accepted to a school but the cost can run anywhere from $3,500 to $6,000. Kyle submitted an essay and a video as part of his entry to the contest. He said he learned valuable video editing skills and how to design his own logo along the way. He said 25 finalists will be selected based on three factors each weighing one third – a vote by the public, a judgment of inspiration and a judgment of the best depiction of a champion. Kyle said the story of his crash and the recovery from it is his inspirational story. He said people can vote for him every day and the voting closes Feb. 2. Kyle said a kid he raced against last year entered the contest and told him about it. He said since he wanted to move up in racing, he felt this would be a good opportunity. He said he did most of the work himself with some guidance from his parents, and it helped that he enjoys writing. He also said most adults whom he has asked to vote for him are gracious about it, though it can be difficult to get people to vote every day. He said some of his friends gave him a hard time, saying he had to share the prize with them if he won for their vote. In addition to the grand prize, $5,000 sponsorships are available for those who finish second through 10th and $1,000 scholarships for the other 15 finalists. Anyone who wants to vote for Kyle can read his story, watch his video, and vote at http://sfac.championautoparts.com/ entry/778/.

Circus has a long, winding history By Sandra Landen Machaj CORRESPONDENT

The circus began entertaining Americans in April 1793 with the arrival of John Bill Rickets, an equestrian rider from England. He later added acrobats, clowns and a tightrope walker to complete his performance group. At this point, no animals were included. The elephant did not make its way into the circus until the 1800s. The early circuses were small affairs that traveled the rural towns of the east coast by wagon. Early circuses performed outside, which meant that performances would be cancelled when it rained. The addition of the waterproof canvas tents meant the show would go on and customers would stay dry in the tents. With the growth of the railroad, movement for the circuses became easier. Loading everything onto the train meant that the circus could travel from one city to another without stopping. They were no longer limited to the distance their horses could travel in a day. The Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus began as separate entities. P.T. Barnum was known for what he labeled as his freak shows, displaying people with deformities – not because they were deformed but because he saw them as unique. Barnum produced large shows with attendance often being two to three times the population of the area, People began to describe Barnum’s circus as “The Greatest Show on Earth” and so Barnum copyrighted the phrase as part of his circus name. Another circus was also making its mark and became a serious challenger to Barnum. James Bailey who owned the International Allied shows with two partners was overcoming Barnum. Barnum, worried that Bailey would become more popular, convinced Bailey and his partners to combine the two circuses. They would be the first to introduce the three-ring circus.

In 1882 Jumbo the elephant, who was 12 feet tall and weighed six and a half tons, made his appearance in the circus. While Jumbo was the hit of the show for three years, he met with death when he was hit by a speeding freight train while being loaded onto his train car. As the 19th century was ending, five brothers from Baraboo, Wis., began their dream of becoming the circus kings of the 20th century. They were joined by a sixth brother in 1886 and the circus concentrated on smaller communities to avoid direct conflict with the larger entities such as Barnum and Bailey. As the Ringling Brothers made their way into New England – Barnum and Bailey’s territory – Barnum suggested that they divide the country into two territories, Barnum and Bailey’s Circus would work out of the New York area and the Ringling Brothers would cover the Chicago area. The Ringling Brothers continued to grow while Barnum’s circus began to decline and in 1907 the Ringling Brothers purchased their largest competitor for $410,000, which was said to have been less than the profits earned in one good season. The circus continued to perform under the big top until 1944 when the circus had its worst disaster as the tent caught fire while occupied by 7,000 spectators. In the final count 168 people were trampled or burned to death and another 487 were injured. On July 16, 1956, the circus gave its final performance under the Big Top. Later that year Irvin Feld would purchase the circus and move the performances indoors to large arenas and the circus continued to entertain children of all ages. The circus remained a giant spectacle that presented a variety of entertainment that included aerial trapeze artists high above the ring, elephants, tigers, lions, horses and, of course, clowns.
