The Fairbury Journal-News Your Community. Your Paper. WWW.FAIRBURYJOURNALNEWS.COM WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 2019 1 SECTION | VOL. 127 | NO. 19 | $1.50 Funding For Additional County IT Explored

By Gordon Hopkins Jefferson County IT (Information Technol- ogy) director Brad Eisenhauer has requested a full-time assistant. Sheriff Nels Sorensen has confirmed the need for an additional IT Spe- cialist. However, funding has not yet been determined. One possible method of offsetting the cost being considered is sharing the position with the City of Fairbury. Sheriff Sorensen and City Administrator Colin Bielser spoke to the Jefferson County Commissioners about the issue during the meeting of July 16. County Commissioner Mark Schoenrock asked, “Is there any other sources of revenue that could help pay for it?” The Sheriff said, “That's why I invited Colin over.” County Com- missioner Michael Dux asked, “How much interest or need is there from the City at this time?” Bielser said, “I think there's some interest. Right now we contract with a company out of Beatrice (Net- Brad Eisenhauer FYI Center work Consulting Services, Inc.).

An example would be: Have a giant carnival in Thayer the first year. Secondary, smaller rides and attractions at the other three sites with the main fairway in Hebron. Friday night, a mid-name rock act in Jef- ferson, Saturday mid-name country act in Saline and Sunday the mid-name family show (comedian, magic show, Christian act, something all ages and demographics can attend) in Fillmore. The next year, Jefferson gets the main fairway, the other counties get the secondary rides. Thayer gets the Friday night rock act, Saline gets the family show, Fillmore gets the country act. Rotate this around the area with a schedule years ahead of time and start contacting acts now. There are a ton of 70s/80s rock acts doing the summer fair tours, as there are young up-and-coming country acts available for a reasonable price and family acts always play well on a Sunday early evening time slot. The carnival can send a ride or two and a game or two to the other locations with a crew. However, if that is not logistically available, if the schedule is explained well enough, you build anticipation that every three years, the big carnival comes back to your town. It never gets stale because you are waiting three years for it to come back, if, however, you aren’t making the trip to the other county (which is a 45 minute trip, one way, tops) to enjoy the rides and other attractions. Every year, a county will have a marquee entertainment and every three years will be a ‘host site’ for a carnival and headlining act.

By Gordon Hopkins The old mill building in Western is falling apart and likely to be torn down soon, but one man has made an effort to ensure a legacy of sorts will remain. His name is Mike Ilkenhons and he has spent the better part of a year con- structing a model of the old mill. Ilkenhons, who currently resides in Florida, has produced several scale models of various structures to exacting detail. He was in Fair- bury recently and stopped by The Fairbury Journal-News office discuss his process. His preference is to purchase no components if possible, but use all recycled materials. “The building is built completely of scraps, stuff I’ve had. All the metal comes from Coke cans, the aluminum, that I used to create the raised roofing and all the corrugated sides,” Ilkenhons said. “The power pole is a bamboo stick, like the kind you would find in a Chi- nese restaurant. The transformers are actually capacitors I took out of a computer I tore apart.” Ilkenhons added, “I’m just trying to repur- pose things, tell people you don’t have to throw away everything.” The building, itself, is currently owned by Scott Bartels of Saline County. It has been in decay many years and Bartels says the building will have to come down. “I don’t know how soon but that is the eventual goal.” Bartels admits to knowing little of the building’s history, “I’m too young to have recollec- tions of that stuff. Photo by Gordon Hopkins/fairburyjournalnews “Its in terrible shape now,” said Ilkenhons, Small Building, Big Memories—Mike Ilkenhons shows off his hand-made replica of the old mill building in Western, made who was motivated by the inevitable demise of primarily from recycled materials. the old mill to memorialize it in some way. “The idea is to preserve the history, the at- mosphere, the nostalgia,” said Ilkenhons. “Too much of this country is torn down to build something new, and losing too much of our history, too much of the nostalgia for what has come before.” Ilkenhons did not do this alone. He credits Curtis Peacock, formerly with the Lincoln Mu- seum, for identifying the building as one he might be interested in modeling. Peacock is Il- kenhons’ cousin and travels around the state, looking for interesting buildings in Nebraska, often abandoned and forgotten. He visited Western and happened across an abandoned old feed mill and grain store. “The character of the building, the weathering and age damage needed to be preserved in some way. With that thought the project began. Curt and I talked a couple of times about how to approach the build. Curt’s profession was Head Designer at the Lincoln Museum,” Ilkenhons said. “I worked solely from three photos that Curt took and sent to me. There was enough detail and material weathering to suggest the time frame I wanted to model.” Peacock said, “Next, we’re going to go down to Steele City. The historic district down there, there are at least five buildings that he ought to have photos of, in case he wants to model them.” Ilkenhons has plans to donate the model to the Struckman-Baatz Public Library.
