McHenry County Conservation District Board of Trustees taking applications McHenry County residents who have a passion to protect and preserve the natural communities of McHenry County and have a desire to serve the public are encouraged to submit an application to become a McHenry County Conservation District trustee.

The McHenry County Conservation District’s Board of Trustees is comprised of seven members.

Each year, McHenry County Conservation District Board of Trustees welcomes one to two new trustees who serve for five years under the Conservation District Act. Board members develop

long-range plans, establish policy and chart a strategic course and direction for the preservation, education, and recreational use of the county’s natural and cultural resources. Trustees arrive with the desire to serve the taxpayers and the passion to protect and preserve the flora and fauna entrusted to the district by the citizens of McHenry County.

Interested candidates should submit completed application to the County Board office, McHenry County Government Center, 2200 North Seminary Ave., Woodstock, IL 60098. Interviews are conducted by the

county and appointed by the county board chairman, with the approval of the county board, appoints trustee no later than June 1, 2021. Selected trustees will serve a 5-year term; beginning July 1, 2021 and expiring on June 30, 2026.

Conservation District Board of Trustees serve without compensation in a non-partisan role and work to develop long-range plans, establish policy and chart a

strategic course and direction for the preservation of education and recreational use of the county’s public natural and cultural resources.

As ambassadors to the public, board members must understand the laws and legal requirements of the district and resist political, personal and special interest pressures. By regularly attending board and committee meetings and being

prepared for these meetings board members actively participate in discussions and act in a manner that best represents the citizens they serve. Conservation District Board members serve as guardians of public funds and are entrusted to be good stewards and make wise use of taxpayer resources.

The requirements for trustees are simple: a resident of McHenry County, a registered voter, and have a

demonstrated interest in the district. In addition, trustees cannot hold any other political office and or be officers of a political party. Trustees’ backgrounds have included environmental initiatives, development, law, education, finance and agriculture.

Internships provide on-the-job training As a student in MCC’s Medical Billing and Coding program, Tatiana Arriola, is training to help patients by managing some of their most critical data: medical bills.

In the program, students learn the ins and outs of medical terminology, coding, and reimbursement procedures to accurately code the medical COURTESY PHOTO McHenry County News bills that are submitted to insurance companies, managed care plans, and Medicare.

Tatiana first enrolled in the 7 p.m. Monday, April 19 – “The Life Cycle of Clothing in the 19th Century” Presented via Zoom by Erika program in January of 2019— Holst, curator of history at the Illinois State Museum and but as her studies continued,

Life Cycle of Clothing

sponsored by the McHenry County Historical Society.

Americans invested a tremendous amount of labor into making and maintaining their wardrobes during the 19th century. Explore the life cycle of clothing during the 1800s: how it was created, mended, remade, washed, and ultimately recycled. Holst, who has curated more than a dozen exhibitions during her more than 15 years in the field, will highlight examples of garments and artifacts from the Illinois State Museum’s collection. After the presentation, the audience will have an opportunity to share their own clothing experiences and reflect on more modern attitudes about apparel – such as “fast fashion” and discarding vs. mending.

she knew she wanted to further her understanding of the field by applying her knowledge and earning on-the-job experience.

With the help of MCC’s Career Services office, she landed an internship at Lake-in-theHills-based TLC Chiropractic in July of 2020.

“My goal is to pursue a job in a doctor’s office rather than a hospital, so this internship was a perfect fit for me,” Tatiana said of her experience.

Some of the duties she handled in the office included

scheduling appointments, answering the phone, filing insurance claims and billing.

“Tatiana initially began as a front desk receptionist learning the software we use for scheduling and collecting payments,” said Dr. Jen Pishotta, owner of TLC Chiropractic.

“Then we gradually showed her the process of billing insurance claims—which she became proficient in quickly.

She received real-life practice with the skills she was simultaneously learning in the classroom. It was a great expe-

rience all around.”

“I’ve learned so much about how insurance and coding work—and how to apply that knowledge to a job,” Tatiana said. “I’ve also really enjoyed building a relationship with the patients and seeing how we help them.”

Learning from and working with Dr. Jen has also been extremely rewarding, Tatiana noted.

Slices of life

A debt of gratitude to so many

It isn’t often we have the opportunity to change someone’s life in a significantly positive way.

Wrong. This opportunity is available to us on a daily basis.

Problem is, most of us don’t realize it. But, realization isn’t necessary for doing. We can do good without ever giving it a second thought. Or we can do good intentionally.

It doesn’t matter which.

Both outcomes are the same. Both are worthwhile and equally valuable. Both outcomes are worth vying for. Doing good is great.

Often, though, we don’t understand or comprehend the good we are doing, even when we are doing it.

I believe this is how things are supposed to be. If we did good because we were given immediate gratification for doing so, it would take away

By

from the intent. We do good because we are propelled to do so, not because it is what we should do or because we want to experience the outcome. We do good because we are wired to do good.

I believe this to my core. I believe this is a gift– to those of us doing, not those of us receiving (although that is a gift as well).

It is heartening to be allowed the chance to affect a positive impact on a person’s day, week, month or life. It is a privilege. I’ve been given such a privilege on a few occasions during my lifetime.

Most of my “build-you-up” moments have been slightly less than life-changing, but they have been significant nonetheless.

Recently, however, I found myself on the other end of the giving spectrum. It was my turn to receive.

This occurred in the most obvious of places: a hospital.

We were out of town and out of state, on vacation, when my husband suddenly became seriously sick and in need of medical attention – during a pandemic – during COVID. Ugh. In a word, it sucked.

It is a helpless feeling – to need help and be totally dependent on others.

Especially when you are in a place that isn’t home. A place where people speak with an accent, but tell you that you are the one with the accent.

This is where I found myself, during a time when visitors weren’t allowed

at the hospital. First-hand information is a powerful thing. Lack of it is equally lacking. I felt without any resources or influence. And then Dr. Z called and literally changed the course of everything.

Others may have overlooked us. Visitors weren’t allowed. It was the rule. We were from out of town. No one knew us or had cause to know us. Why care?

Why not?

Dr. Z chose to care.

She saw us as people, not numbers or insurance claims.

She saw our situation wasn’t working and fought to sneak me in for an unsanctioned visit. And she won. I truly believe with this one action, she changed our lives.

It isn’t easy to be isolated during an illness and a pandemic – quite the opposite. Dr. Z fought for us and against the isolation.

She didn’t look at just the odds, but at the people behind them. She doctored from the heart as well as the head, as a physician and as a person, or perhaps more accurately as a person and as a physician.

And she was followed by others who went above and beyond – nurses named Tory and Robert, an occupational therapist named Andrea, home hospice workers, Dave and Amber. And so many more. I can’t remember most of the names of the numerous good people who touched my life and my husband’s life during his last days.

Brain fog had already set in to protect me from my own thoughts. But please know I give thanks for every person who wanted to help make those difficult days less so.

I was aware of your intent and your frustration and your sadness at our circumstance, just like you were aware of

our love and our pain.

For this, I owe you all an infinite debt of gratitude.

And because of that I will continue the path you have started in me. I may not be able to save lives, but I can change them for the positive.

And I pledge to do so.

Many thanks to you all.

Your actions have more meaning than physical health.

They connect humanity with humanity. Thank you for seeing your patients as individuals with lives and loves and loved ones. Thank you, Dr. Z, for sneaking me in. Thank you. Thank you. A million hugs.

Scratching the surface of identity: A brief and incomplete guide to loving Jesus

Dr. Robert Kopp CONTRIBUTOR

How do we know if we really love Jesus?

He said, “Love each other just as much as I love you!”

We love Jesus by loving like Jesus!

While this is a brief, incomplete, and indicative not exhaustive guide to loving Jesus, people who

really love Jesus show inclinations and incarnations of loving Jesus.

Inclinations Loving Jesus by loving like Jesus shows we love Jesus!

People who really love Jesus can’t get enough of Him! People who really love Jesus are always hungry and

thirsty to get closer to Him! People who really love Jesus rarely miss opportunities to worship Him, experience Him at the table of Holy Communion, learn more about Him, hang around His family, and serve Him in a Matthew 25 kinda way.

People who really love Jesus show it/Him!

Incarnations People who really love Jesus can be distinguished from people who don’t really love Jesus by incarnations/ enfleshments of really loving Jesus: • “Strong calm sanity” • Increasing evidence/ proof/fruit of really loving Jesus like love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,

faithfulness, gentleness, humility and self-control!

• Increasing obedience to Him by desire more than duty!

One of the clearest and most convincing inclinations/ incarnations of loving Jesus by loving like Jesus is forgiving others like He has forgiven us; which comes with a warning: “If

you forgive others, you will be forgiven. If you do not forgive others, you will not be forgiven.”

Summarily, we know we really love Jesus if - more than less, authentically not artificially, relationally not religiously - we can say with the apostle, “It is no longer I who live but it is Jesus who lives in and through me!”

Farm Bureau: Stand Up for Grain Safety

By Ann Marie Cain, FBCM

MANAGER, WINNEBAGO-BOONE FARM BUREAU

Stand Up Last week was Stand Up for Grain Safety Week. According to Purdue University, in 2019, 14 states reported 38 grainentrapment incidents and 61 percent of those were fatal.

All documented cases in 2019 involved males at the average age of 43.4 years old. 82

percent of all grain entrapment cases occurred in the Midwest, or Corn Belt.

As farmers continue to prepare for this year’s planting season, it is important to take safety precautions when working in grain bins.

(Source: Great Plains Center for Agricultural Health) • Suffocation from engulfment is a leading cause of death in grain bins. (Source: OSHA) • Flowing grain behaves like quicksand. An adult can be completely buried (engulfed) in 20 seconds. Most engulfed victims do not survive.

(Source: Great Plains Center for Agricultural Health) • From 2010 to 2019, there were 330 grain-entrapment incidents reported. 47.6 percent of those were fatal.

(Source: Purdue University) • Most entrapment and engulfment events occur because workers enter a bin or storage structure to check on condition of grain or to address problems with grain

flow due to spoiled grain or equipment malfunction.

(Source: Great Plains Center for Agricultural Health) • Around 80 percent of reported engulfments involve a person inside a bin or storage structure when grain-unloading equipment is running. Engulfments in flowing grain also occur in outdoor wagons, rail cars, and semi-trailers that unload from the bottom. (Source: Great Plains Center for Agricultural Health) • The best ways to prevent engulfment incidents are to eliminate the reasons for entering a bin in the first place, and to restrict unauthorized access by youth or other individuals who may be unaware of hazards.

Agricultural Health) Grain Bin Safety STOP signs Winnebago-Boone Farm Bureau is offering free Grain Bin Safety stop signs for Winnebago-Boone Farm Bureau members. The signs have the following message: “Always lockout all moving equipment Always guard or cover all floor openings Never work alone in a bin Always wear a harness and lifeline Do Not “walk down the grain” Don’t become a statistic!!”

Tag Out for Safety Tag Out for Safety packets are also available at the Winnebago-Boone Farm Bureau office. These packets are available to farmers for

use with grain bins and around augers and other machinery.

Tag Out protects a worker by warning others not to turn on equipment while working inside bins or servicing augers or other machinery. It is a minimal safety procedure for farmers who are not subject to OSHA regulations.

The best practice is to both Lock Out and Tag Out equipment percent Tag Out works by disconnecting all energy sources and tagging the off position by the person working on the equipment.

The tag warns others to prevent them from turning on equipment. No one else can remove the tag.

Please contact the office at 815-962-0653 if you would like Grain Bin stop signs or Tag Out Kits.

CPA: Police K-9s and DUI enforcement

By Anne Eickstadt EDITOR

Two years ago the Belvidere Police Department acquired two new K-9s, Shep and Frank Sinatra, who are utility dogs trained to detect cocaine and heroin. They also track fleeing suspects, lost children and wandering people with special needs. Officer Zach Reese brought K-9 Shep to the Citizen’s Police Academy to discuss the K-9 Unit.

Shep is a 3-year-old Belarus Shepherd. He was purchased “green” to not only keep the purchase price lower, but so Reese could train with him and strengthen the team’s bond.

Shep has been trained to track people, find missing articles and do drug searches.

“Most of the dogs in America are here to be pets, or do shows and be pretty. We import our K-9s because these dogs are all about work. In Europe, they do the testing and training to keep that working drive hardwired into the dog.

“I got a good dog. He socializes with my family and everyone in the neighborhood. He plays well with my other dog and they get along great. He likes curling up with my ninemonth-old.

“Four weeks ago Shep had ACL surgery and this is the first time he has come to work with me since then. He is really excited and ready to work. The surgeon, however, said he has to rest for eight weeks and then he will have to pass a test to make sure he is ready to come back to work with me. He is going to be so pissed tomorrow when I leave without him.”

Reese kept his presentation short in acknowledgment of Shep’s recuperative status and answered questions from the class.

“Shep does not respond to commands in English. That is to prevent a suspect from trying to control him. If a suspect puts hands on me, Shep is trained to immediately engage to protect me. He learns the scent of everyone in the department so he will not pick up their scent on a search. He is trained to locate heroin, cocaine, and meth. He does not respond to cannabis.

“A bad ‘dummy’ can ruin a dog so we have an officer who has had special training to wear the pads and be a ‘dummy’ for the dog to train with and attack. I do not reward him with treats so suspects do not have a chance to poison him. He is rewarded with his toy, which I always keep with me. If I hand his leash to someone else, he will cry and then pull them to

follow me. When we go on vacation, he comes with us. When he retires, he will continue to live with me. We try never to separate a dog and his handler.”

Reese then took Shep away and, after a short break, Officer Joe Danielak gave a presentation on DUI Enforcement.

Danielak has been with the Belvidere Police Dept. for three years and went through the Belvidere Police Explorer program before that. He now works on the day shift and is an advisor in the Explorer program as well.

“According to 2017 statistics, every day 28 people in the United States die in alcohol related vehicle crashes. Drunk driving crashes claim more than 13,000 lives each year.

DUI caused deaths and damages, including property damage, hospital expenses, and funerals, contribute to a cost of over $44 billion per year.

“Of the 1132 traffic deaths among children aged 14 or younger, 209, or 16 percent, involve an alcohol impaired driver.

“The best chance of reducing these DUI numbers is education.” Officer Joe said. Some of the best groups out there are: • MADD – Mothers Against Drunk Driving • SADD – Students Against Destructive Decisions • TADD - Teens Against Drunk Driving • AAIM – Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists • IDDPA – International Drunk Driving Prevention Association “Three things the Belvidere Police Department stresses every year to keep the community safe are education, drug en-

forcement, and gang intervention.

“Law enforcement’s ultimate goal is to increase DUI deterrents and decrease alcohol-related crashes, injuries, and deaths. Belvidere has a reputation for stopping cars for any reason from aberrant behavior to seat belt violations to burntout license plate lights. We want to deter DUIs and keep the community safe.”

Field sobriety tests are a battery of tests used by police officers to determine if a person suspected of impaired driving is intoxicated with alcohol or drugs. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) began research in 1975 on how to test suspects for impaired driving. The NHTSA developed a series of tests that police officers could use when evaluating suspected impaired drivers By 1981, officers in the United States began using the organization’s battery of standardized sobriety tests to help make decisions about whether to arrest suspected impaired drivers. The tests were designed to indicate intoxication associated with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.10 percent. After some US states began lowering their BAC limits to 0.08 percent, a study was done to see if the battery could be used to detect BACs at or above 0.08 percent and above and below 0.04 percent. This was done to deal with the changes in the laws that led to lower legal BAC [Blood Alcohol Content] limits across the US.” In 1995, scientists in San Diego, Calif., contacted police across the country to find out

how they determined if a driver was alcohol impaired. They came up with three phases of DUI detection in the form of the Field Sobriety Tests, which are now universally used by law enforcement officers. The tests were refined in Colorado in 1996 and again in Florida in 1998.

“When I am on patrol and come across a possible DUI, I have to rely on my senses and experience to observe the totality of the circumstances.

“1.) Observation of the vehicle in motion. Is there a moving violation, equipment violations, other violations, unusual operation, or anything else that alerts me? Then I have a decision to make: Do I stop the vehicle? I also observe their stopping sequence: Do they stop immediately or take a while? Was there an abrupt weave or attempt to flee? Do they stop in the street, by the curb, over the curb, or in someone’s backyard?

“2.) Personal contact. Interview and observation of the driver–what do I see? What do I hear? What do I smell?

Then I have a decision to make: Should I have the driver exit.

Then I observe the exit: Do they have trouble standing up?

Do they grab for support? Did they just light a cigarette or douse themselves in perfume to mask the odor of alcohol? Are their clothes soiled? Do they have slurred speech?

“3.) Pre-arrest screening: Then comes the three phase Standardized Field Sobriety Testing which are recognized by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

These include Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus–involuntary jerki-

ness in the eyes; the Walk and Turn, and a One Leg Stand.”

The first test that is typically administered is the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test. During this test, the officer looks for involuntary jerking of the suspect’s eyes as they gaze toward the side. The officer checks for three clues in each eye, which gives six clues for this test. The clues are: lack of smooth pursuit of the eyes, distinct and sustained nystagmus at the eyes’ maximum deviation and

nystagmus starting before the eyes reach 45 degrees.

“The eyes don’t lie. You can’t fake it.”

Vertical nystagmus is also checked for further impairments.

The second test that is administered is the Walk and Turn Test, or WAT Test. This test is a measures the suspect’s ability to maintain their balance, walk in a straight line, and follow

Belvidere police commended for going extra mile on duty

By Bob Balgemann REPORTER

At recent Committee of the Whole meetings, the city’s police and fire chiefs have provided regular reports on some of what went on within their departments over the previous month. Those updates gave the public some insight into how their tax dollars are being spent.

As far as police officers and firefighters are concerned, going the extra mile is just part of their job.

Police Chief Shane Woody presented letters of recognition for exemplary police work that had been issued to Officers Joe Danielak and KC Brox during the March 22 committee meeting at city hall. The commendations were for entirely different kinds of actions in times of duress but the results were the same‒making a positive

difference in the lives of the people they signed on to protect and serve.

For Danielak, his challenge came on the wintry night of Feb. 20, 2021, when he helped rescue a resident who had driven his car into a snow bank. He not only got a letter of recognition from Woody, but a letter of thanks and commendation from the resident he assisted.

The chief read the correspondence from resident Tom Morgan of the time after he followed an ambulance carrying his wife to the hospital for emergency treatment. Hours later he was on his way home when he stated that he became disoriented and tried to turn around. But he drove his car into a snow bank, instead of a driveway.

“I feared losing my wife of 57 years and here I was, stuck in a snow bank,” he recalled. “I

called 9-1-1 and explained my situation to dispatchers. Officer Danielak showed up and I could not believe the kindness he showed me. He gave me hope. He called a wrecker and waited until the tow-truck driver arrived.”

He continued that the officer waited until after the car was removed from the snow bank.

“He (officer) came up to my car and asked if I knew how to get home,” Morgan’s letter stated. “I admitted I was very confused and he said, ‘Follow me and I’ll get you home.’ I said, ‘Wait, I have to pay for the tow truck driver.’ He said, ‘It’s been taken care of.’

“He followed me home and with relief I saw my driveway. I stopped to thank him for his incredible kindness. I asked him about the bill for towing. He said he explained what I had been through that

night and the driver said, ‘No charge.’”

Officer Brox A sergeant with the Rockford Police Department brought Brox’s commendable actions to the attention of Belvidere Deputy Chief Patrick Gardner. It referred to a domestic incident involving a Belvidere resident that occurred in Rockford.

“Officer Brox was able to take a statement and photographs from the victim and forward the case file to my office,” the sergeant wrote.

“The victim refuses to cooperate with Rockford detectives.

However, as a result of Officer Brox’s investigation, Rockford detectives were able to obtain a non-bond warrant for the suspect’s arrest.

“The case was solely charged to Officer Brox taking the time to complete a full

investigation, even though the incident occurred in a neighboring jurisdiction. Officer Brox’s dedication is to be commended.”

According to a letter written

by Woody, the chain of events started when Brox was dispatched to a home in the 1500 block of West 6th Street, Belvidere, for a report of a possible domestic battery.

“The female feared that her abusive boyfriend was outside her residence and explained to you the abuse she had endured from him,” the letter stated.

“You observed injuries that were consistent with her allegation. While obtaining information from her, you learned that the actual domestic battery offenses occurred in another jurisdiction. Despite this, you proceeded with a thorough investigation, obtaining photographs and a written statement

from your report, and forwarded all of this information to the appropriate jurisdiction.

“That jurisdiction (Rockford Police Deptartment) contacted the Belvidere Police Department, stating that the female had decided not to provide them with any information. However, due to your investigation initiative, they were able to get a warrant for the abuser. Had you simply referred the female to this jurisdiction, without any further investigation, the abuser would have gotten away with this crime.

“You are commended for your diligence in obtaining information on this offense, and your commitment to the investigation.”

In both cases, copies of those letters were given to the officers in question and their supervisors, for their files.

Pop-up market appears in municipal lot at City Hall

By Anne Eickstadt EDITOR

The municipal Parking lot by City Hall became a pop-up market on Saturday, April 3.

“Empower Boone partnered with the City of Belvidere and Mayor Mike Chamberlain to use the lot.

The City of Belvidere did a lot of the behind-the-scenes preparation,” said Brenda Valadez, Director of Operations for Empower Boone.

The Northern Illinois Food Bank, Empower Boone, Belvidere Fire Dept., LULAC, Mayor Mike, and Alderman Sheryl Prather were on hand to keep the event running smoothly.

Empower Boone volunteers and the NI Food Bank set the boxes of food into place before cars were allowed in to pick the food up. BFD Chief Al Hyser, Alderman Sheryl Prather,

and Mayor Mike Chamberlain handled traffic control.

Empower Boone, Belvidere volunteers, a representative of LULAC, and BFD firefighters worked together to place the food into vehicles.

Each household received eggs, carrots, meat, potatoes, cheese, milk, yogurt, sour cream or cottage cheese, chicken hot dogs or lunch meat, venison, chicken meatballs, and sausage links.

“We’re neighbors helping neighbors,” Brenda said. “Bringing the community together to feed the community. We will be working with Immanuel Lutheran School on Saturdays once the weather gets warmer to bring more popup markets.

Keep an eye on our Facebook page to learn when and where we will be holding the markets.”

National Poetry Month celebrated in Boone County Boone County Arts Council and Boone County Conservation District have partnered with other Boone County Businesses and Organizations to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of National Poetry Month.

This April, nine different poetry boxes will appear around our county to highlight poets and the connection their work has to our lives. The event is titled “We See Poetry!” to highlight the experience of poems appearing at different sites.

Joanna Dowling of the Arts council stated, “We feel this will give people something creative to engage with around the community. Our hope is this event will help make poetry more accessible and expose people to it in a new and perhaps less intimidating way.”

Tina Dawson Scott elaborated on the connection of poetry and the Boone County Conservation District:• “Nature has inspired many writers throughout history and across cultures. We hope that visitors to our sites are inspired by the poems they find, as well as the beauty of Nature they see.”

Each week in April, different poetry selections will be placed in the We See Poetry boxes for the community to discover, read and enjoy. Many sites will be providing poems both in English and Spanish to engage our whole community in this collaboration.

Poetry Site Locations • Poplar Grove Vintage Wings and Wheels Museum, 5150 Orth Rd., Suite A1, Poplar Grove, IL 61065 • Poplar Grind, 104 W. Main St., Poplar Grove, IL 61065 • Ida Public Library, 320 N. State St., Belvidere, IL 61008 • Funderburg House, 605 N. State St., Belvidere, IL 61008 • Boone County Museum of History (2 boxes), 314 S. State St., Belvidere, IL 61008 • BCCD-Roger D. Gustafson Nature Center, 603 N. Appleton Rd., Belvidere, IL 61008

Rt. 20, Belvidere, IL 61008 We hope that highlighting the art of poetry in our everyday experiences will enrich our community and allow us time to reflect in our daily lives.

The Mission of the Boone County Arts Council is to enhance the quality of life for all people throughout Boone County by promoting the endowment,

development and enjoyment of the Arts. Established in 1987, the Arts Council has sponsored and developed many programs across the county, including, summer concerts in the park, the county-wide student art show, the Fifth Grade Arts Festival, Paint on State and the Downtown Mural Project. In addition to Community Poetry Boxes, the Council is currently partnering with other area organizations, artists, and students to create the Connection Fence Project, a public art installation that will appear in Belvidere later this spring.

The Boone County Conservation District’s mission is to preserve and manage natural areas and open spaces for ecological, educational, and recreational benefit for present and future generations. Formed in 1964, the Boone County Conservation District was the first Conservation District in Illinois. Today, the District manages over 4,000 acres of prairies, woodlands, and wetlands. These sites are home to a wide array of diverse flora and fauna.

National Poetry Month Launched by the Academy of

American Poets in April 1996, National Poetry Month reminds the public that poets have an integral role to play in our culture and that poetry matters.

Over the years, it has become the largest literary celebration in the world, with tens of millions of readers, students, K-12 teachers, librarians, booksellers, literary events curators, publishers, families and, of course, poets, marking poetry’s important place in our lives. In 2021, the Academy of American Poets looks forward to celebrating the 25th anniversary of this annual celebration.

These crops can grow successfully for decades. Topics will include varieties, general management, harvest, and

other issues that you might encounter in adding perennial vegetables to your garden.

April 29: Raspberry and Blackberry Production for the Backyard When it comes to growing fruit in the backyard vegetable garden, brambles like raspberry and blackberry can fit in well. They consistently yield with few disease issues.

However, like all fruits, they do require some needed attention such as pruning and trellising. Variety selection, pruning, insects, and basic

Bizarre Belvidere

Pawnee Bill’s Wild West Show

By Mindy Long IDA PUBLIC LIBRARY/LOCAL HISTORY LIBRARIAN

It’s difficult for current day residents to picture the early days of Belvidere being a bit rough and tumble.

Main streets, including State Street, were made of packed dirt. Sidewalks were wooden planks. The two bridges crossing the Kishwaukee River were unstable, wooden structures prone to washouts during flood season. Residents traveled everywhere by horse and cows were allowed to roam the city streets at will. In fact, local newspapers printed several warnings to residents living along State Street to trim their tree branches to prevent cow’s horns from getting stuck on them. The city of yesterday seemed more like a movie set from “Gunsmoke” or “The Rifleman.”

It should come as no surprise, then, that Belvidere residents were partial to Wild West shows. Performances by cowboys and cowgirls, horseback riding demonstrations, lasso feats, herding, and wrangling were popular entertainment events, drawing spectators by the hundreds. The most popular event in town by far was Pawnee Bill’s Historic Wild West Show. The show’s first appearance here was on May 25, 1901, at Doty Flats (now the Doty Park area) and it would return to Belvidere for annual extravaganzas until 1907.

Pawnee Bill was a bit less

famous than Buffalo Bill, but both led traveling Wild West shows throughout the United States in the 1900’s. Both showmen were born in Midwestern states, Buffalo Bill in Le Clare, Iowa, and Pawnee Bill (born Gordon William Lillie) in Bloomington, Ill. Buffalo Bill Cody served as a Pony Express rider, a soldier in the Civil War, a scout for the U.S. Army, and an avid bison hunter. Gordon Lillie, however, was a bit more pacifist.

Gordon’s father was a flour miller and his family moved to Wellington, Kansas when he was a teenager. At that time, the Pawnee tribe was being moved from their Nebraska home to Oklahoma and had set up a winter camp in Wellington.

Fifteen-year-old Gordon was fascinated by their culture, horsemanship, and society and soon began hanging out at the camp on a regular basis. A quick learner, Gordon picked up the language in no time and befriended Pawnee Chief Blue Hawk. Blue Hawk would eventually invite Gordon to live with the tribe in Oklahoma, where he worked as a Pawnee teacher and interpreter for the Pawnee Agency.

In 1883, Buffalo Bill sent a letter to Chief Blue Hawk asking for Pawnee tribal members to join his Wild West show. Six Pawnee braves volunteered, along with Gordon Lillie, who would promptly earn the nickname Pawnee Bill from

the show members due to his resemblance to Buffalo Bill and his proficiency with the Pawnee language.

In 1886, Pawnee Bill married May Manning, a young Quaker girl he met at a Philadelphia show. May turned out to be as quick a learner as Bill, rapidly blending into the Wild West show life and becoming one of the show’s star horseback performers.

She also had great aim, and was billed as the “Championship Girl Horseback Shot of the West.” With all of this talent and the friendship of the Pawnee tribe, the young couple decided to form their own traveling show in 1888, booking shows at small towns throughout the Midwest.

Belvidere was lucky to book two shows for a chilly Saturday in May of 1901. Despite the weather, residents crowded the stands at Doty Flats for both performances.

Trick riding, lasso demonstrations, shooting skills, and even a stagecoach attack performed by Bill’s Pawnee friends excited the crowd. A herd of Mustangs, some say at least 85, were roped in and ridden bareback.

Bill’s wife May performed her rifle shooting bit from horseback. Belvidere talked about nothing else for weeks, and clamored for more shows despite backyards continually missing clothes lines as children attempted to imitate the lasso skills.

turned many times to Belvidere, with the last show performed here on June 5, 1907.

By that time, Bill had added continental performers from several nations, changing the name to “Pawnee Bill’s Wild West and Great Far East Show.” The show became so large that it traveled in fifty railroad cars. New acts were added, including Lulu Parr, female sharpshooter and bronco rider. Belvidere residents again turned out in the hundreds, filling the bleachers at Doty Flats to see Madagascar cavalrymen, Australian boomerang throwers, Arab jugglers, and Japanese swordsmen.

Alas, the 1907 show would

be the last time Belvidere hosted this elaborate production. In 1908, Pawnee Bill joined forces with Buffalo Bill to form one traveling show, aptly nicknamed The Two Bills Show. To accommodate all their performers, The Two Bills Show booked larger venues in Beloit and Freeport.

By 1912, the American public became more interested in airplanes and automobiles than horses, so it became harder for the Wild West shows to sell tickets. In 1913, The Two Bills Show filed bankruptcy and was liquidated. Pawnee Bill and his wife, May, moved to Pawnee, Oklahoma, where

they built a large home and buffalo ranch on a hill they named Blue Hawk’s Peak, in remembrance of Bill’s Pawnee friend. The Ranch is now owned by the state of Oklahoma and operated by the Oklahoma Historical Society.

Doty Flats is now Belvidere’s beautiful Doty Park, with a children’s playground, ice skating rink, shelter, and walking path. The next time you visit, take a moment to look around and imagine the wonder of Pawnee Bill’s Wild West Show. If you listen closely, you may even hear the thundering hooves of a long ago Mustang herd galloping through the park.

IT’S GARAGE SALE TIME AGAIN!

Ready to spring clean? Goodwill is ready for you!

Cleaning house, organizing closets and helping the environment are all good reasons to donate your gently used housewares and textiles to Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois.

Goodwill is ready to accept housewares and textile donations at all of its 11 retail locations in the hopes the warm weather will jump-start spring-cleaning.

Sales of housewares have

been in demand in the community so if you have that extra set of dishes, lamp, or toaster that you no longer use consider donating it to Goodwill.

Donations not only help fund Goodwill’s local mission programs, they also kept 11 million pounds of goods from ending up in the landfill in 2020.

In addition to being an environmental steward, Goodwill

spends 92 cents of every retail dollar supporting local mission programs.

“Our local employment and educational programs such as LifeLaunch, GoodGRADS, and our supported employment programs are sustained by donations,” Ben Bernsten, president of Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois said.

“Donations are the lifeblood of the Goodwill orga-

nization, which leads to retail sales, which fuels the mission programs, which creates jobs for people with barriers in the community. ‘One Good Thing Leads to Another’ is the new theme for the organization and it all starts with donations,” Bernsten noted.

For more information on store locations and donation hours visit www.goodwillni. org.

While the suspect performs this test, the officer is attempting to observe if the suspect fails to follow instructions; is having difficulty keeping their balance; stops walking in order to regain their balance; takes an incorrect number of steps; or fails to walk the line heel-to-toe.

Driving requires all of us to divide our attention as we watch the road in front, check the road behind, check our side view mirrors, and stay in our lane while the vehicle is moving. If a driver cannot divide their attention there are predictable effects on driving ability.”

“The third field test is the One Leg Stand (OLS),” Officer Joe said. “The OLS test requires the suspect to stand on one leg for 30 seconds and also measures balance, coordination, and, similar to the WAT test, divides the suspect’s attention.

The officer is looking for any of the four possible clues: Sways while balancing, uses arms for balance, hopping, and puts their foot down.

“I demonstrate with one foot six inches above the ground while I give the instructions,” Danielak said. “If they claim the ground was uneven, I can tell them that I held my foot off the ground for at least 45 seconds while I talked to them.
