New
mayor of
Elkhart announced
[AUG.
5, 2000]
Helen
Dayle Eldredge has been named the new mayor of Elkhart,
filling the unexpired term of former mayor Terry Moore. She was chosen to fill the post by village trustees on July
26.
The
vacancy occurred because of Moore’s recent conviction of
aggravated battery, stemming from an incident December 11,
1999, between Moore, his son Tyler, and Joe Bayless of
Elkhart. Illinois
law mandates that a municipal official convicted of a felony
cannot continue to hold elected office.

COUNTY FAIR 2000 EVENTS & STORIES
[AUG. 5, 2000] Auto
racing enthusiasts will be treated to an action-packed night of fun
at the Logan County Fair as quarter midgets take to the track at
6:00 p.m. tonight. Quarter
midget racing made its first appearance in 1996 at the Logan County
Fair, just as a preview. Big
time race fan Laszlo Pozsgai got his son Max involved five years
ago. Max, 11 will race
at this years fair.
The
cars used in these races can reach a maximum speed of 40 mph, and
will take approximately 12 laps to complete the race.
According to Pozsgai, “Safety is the first issue in these
races. The cars are
equipped with roll bars, arm restraints and the children must wear a
helmet.” Pozsgai also
stated “The kids are pretty much safe, usually the dads are the
one put in danger.” In
order to get the cars started the dads must “pick up the back of
the car, take a couple of steps and off they go” said Pozsgai.
To ensure the children’s safety, they must first go through
3-4 training sessions. The
kids must understand the rules, flags, and many other things before
they can venture out onto the track.
“If the teachers don’t feel like the children are ready
to race, they will hold them back until all the rules and
regulations are learned.” Pozsgai
hopes that “Quarter midget racing will bring more fans out to the
fair.” In hopes of
accomplishing this goal, tonight after the races the fans will be
invited out to admire the cars and ask any questions they may have.
“Hopefully we will be able to recruit more competitors this
way.” All ages are welcome to get a closer look at the cars, but
unfortunately for adults, racing is limited to children age 5-16.
