Question to Tom?Just click here and he will get you the answer
This week’s email bag contains a lot of music. From Pygmalion Festival to Marching Illinois, Bob Dylan / Carl Perkins song “Champaign, Illinois”.
Also, another warning about why the county sheriff’s car was at a Republican event, the Pizza Hut reopened in Champaign, and COVID.
Barry Hauser was the director of Marching Ilini with the band during a match against Nebraska in the first half of the NCAA College Football Game in Champaign, Illinois on Saturday, August 28, 2021.
Marching Ilini Formation
“As a longtime season ticket holder on the east side of the football stadium, I noticed that the band was always playing west instead of east.”
wrong.
“The band was playing on the traditional homeside. The east has been around for years. Then the stadium was refurbished using an expanded press box. When this happened, the television The network has moved everything to the west of the stadium, said Barry Hauser, the band’s associate director at the University of Illinois and the energetic director of Marching Illinois. “If you want to cover the band with a television network, move the band to the east. I was told to change from a stand in the west to a stand in the west, which was switched almost 10 years ago.
“In addition, we don’t always play on the west stand. The pre-game is set to play on both sides of the field, both the east and west stands. The pre-game is on the field. Includes bands playing on both the north and south sides, as well.
“‘Three in One’ will start playing in the west stand, the south end zone, and the north end zone, which extends to both the east and west stands. Play’Alma mater’towards the press box.
“Most of our halftime shows are certainly heading to the west stand, but we now have two shows to play on the east stand for the charts.”
Republican picnic police car
“I was very disappointed to see the deputy county sheriffs using their police cars and K-9 in Republican fall fundraising activities. Isn’t their law a law against it? Should taxpayers really spend their dollars in fundraising activities? Does Sheriff (Dustin) Hoyerman know or approve it? “
“Sheriff offices, regardless of political party, intentionally do not use government funds for political funding activities,” said Democratic Sheriff Dustin Hoyerman. The first responder, promoted by the Champaign County Republican Party, not by fundraising.
“The sheriff’s office is trying to participate in as many community events as possible, regardless of politics. If this was actually a fundraising activity, we didn’t know when it was decided to participate.”
Ribeye restart
“I was curious if I had any words about the reopening of ribeye. I was lucky to be able to go before the last service before Labor Day, but I hope it will actually be reopened.”
Nothing has been said about resuming yet. Nancy Bignell, Kentucky, one of the former owners of a restaurant at 1701 S. Neil St., said it would be “soon,” but she didn’t know the date. She said the new owners are from the Champaign area but do not want to reveal their identities. Champaign’s Liquor Commissioner’s office said, “I’m not sure about the status of the facility in the future because I haven’t received a notice of closure from the current owner and I haven’t received an application to change ownership of a liquor license.” Said. ..
Champagne pizza hut
“What happened to Pizza Hut on Mathis Avenue in Champaign? Is it closed?”
It resumed on Monday after the ownership change, said manager Jeremy Van Matre. The restaurant was closed for a few weeks.
COVID advice
“I miss the informative COVID-19 Q & A with Julie Pride, especially during this latest wave. A particularly important question for her or other trusted professionals is how common the serious side effects of vaccines are. There seems to be inconsistent information there. People say that the vaccine has killed thousands based on the vaccine adverse event reporting system, but others believe the vaccine is believed. It’s safer than it is. How common are people actually having side effects that require treatment? Will vaccination lead to death? How many people have died from the vaccine in Illinois? Falcon?”
“The serious side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine are extremely rare. Champaign County provided nearly 210,000 vaccines this year. There were no hospitalizations or deaths associated with them,” said Champaign Urbana Public Health District. Said Pride, the administrator of. ..
“VAERS is a self-reported database. Their pages have a disclaimer to help people understand it. Infection with COVID can lead to serious illness, long-term disability, hospitalization and death. We need to clearly tell people that there is a possibility .. As of today, (186) people in Champaign County have died of COVID. “
There are 659 active cases in Champaign County, of which 119 are under 10 years old, 117 are over 10 to 20 years old, and 127 are over 20 to 30 years old.
Pygmalion Festival
“Why is the Pygmalion Music Festival called Pygmalion?”
The music, reading and technology festivals in six locations in Urbana today and Saturday were rarely called Pygmalions.
“The original name was Mosaic Music Festival. I thought this was a good way to connect the history of web browsers to events. It’s almost done,” said Seth Fein, founder of Pygmalion. “Then, Justin (his spouse, Justin Fine Brusoni) said,” You know, you should google it just in case. ” I ridiculed, but I did it. There is no doubt that the Mosaic Music Festival will be held in Singapore. “
Fine said he had already purchased a web domain and was a few days away from the festival’s announcement.
“I tried to dig deeper into my love for music and literature and went with Pygmalion because it was the last record released by one of my favorite bands, Slowdive. That’s exactly where it came from. is.
“But I was also a fan of Pygmalion (Greek) mythology, and my professor at the writing school, Richard Powers, is called” Galatea 2.2 “, which is actually taking place and discussing here in Urbana. I was writing an incredible story of Pygmalion. An idea of artificial intelligence, a beautiful and contemporary expression of Pygmalion (story).
This year is the 17th year of Pygmalion, Fine said.
“I think we are now the longest and most ongoing event of its kind in the country,” he said. “I think we’ve been working the longest with carefully selected art-based original programming of what we’re doing.”
Chase Bank (again)
“Currently there is fencing around Matisse’s old Chase Bank. What’s happening?”
City safety supervisor Randy Smith said there was nothing official. The city has not issued a demolition permit for the building that started its life as a movie theater.
Sadorus sportsman
“Does anyone have any information about the founding members of the Sadoras Sportsman’s Club?”
According to an article in the 2014 News Gazette by Paulwood, the four founding members included Billwood. Billwood’s tavern was the club’s first home. John Hixson, Robert Whitsil, Earl Welch.
“Champaign, Illinois”
“What is the inside story of the song about Champaign written by Bob Dylan and Carl Perkins? please listen.“”
Better lyrics are written:
“I got a woman in Morocco,
I got a woman in Spain,
The woman who did it stole my heart,
She lives in Champaign.
“I am Champaign, Champaign, Illinois,
I certainly enjoy Champaign, Illinois.
“When I went for the first time,
They treated me very kindly.
The man is alive, I’m telling you,
I thought the whole shit town was mine. “
The UK-based website “Untold Dylan” scrutinized the song and concluded: Places that some of us (especially those from outside the United States) may not have heard (no insults intended for champagne — residents of the city hear about the village of Great Oakley where I live I’m sure it’s never happened, even if it’s mentioned in the Domesday Book, it was published in 1086 AD. Although fair, the champagne is a little bigger if it’s a little younger).

Our county section
“A few months ago, The News-Gazette announced that it wouldn’t print Rantoul Press, directing readers to the Our County section of the website, which was updated on the 1st (March 26, 2021). Later died. Except for a few articles in early July. For us in the north of your coverage area, we learned that Ford County records are no longer printed and we on our website again. Led us to the county section of the county for the same Ford county stellar coverage provided to Rantoul? “
“Readers should have been directed to our county section of the daily print version, which actually consists of local news from every corner of our distribution area, including Lantor.” Editor Jim Rossou said.
“But that daily local news wasn’t initially included in the website’s flawed” our county “offer. All of our county editor Dave Hinton’s content was online. It was not grouped into the “Our County” category.
“We are in the process of fixing it. Thank you for letting us know.”
MTD social welfare spending
“Other transit districts recognize social welfare as an effective tool rather than imprisonment, with the goal of being unstable, odorless, and even a desperate private sector riding MTD taxation on the yard. How much is the social welfare budget in the district? / $ 200 million Illinois terminal expansion project? “
“MTD has excellent relationships with local social welfare agencies. We work regularly in a variety of ways,” said Karl Gnadt, Managing Director of MTD. “The detailed budget for The Yards is not yet complete. It’s too early.”
