COVER STORY | LOCAL SCHOOLS

Students begin charting their courses Eastland eighth-graders among those given an early look at career paths through WACC

BY PHIL HARTMAN Prairie Advocate phartman@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5525

STERLING – Auto repair, criminal justice, digital media arts – take your pick.

Eastland Junior High School eighth-grade students received information on a variety of career training paths Thursday during the 2017 Career Quest tours at Whiteside Area Career Center. A pool of 44 students was divided into six groups that stopped at various classrooms in the center to hear about available programs.

Jerry Winger, student services coordinator at WACC, said the number of schools participating in the tours, which were held May 3-5, has grown from 15 to 23 during the past 7 years, allowing the center to reach out to more and more prospective students. More than 1,100 eighth-graders attended this year’s event.

“They are getting exposure to all of our careers and much-needed skills they are going to use for the rest of their lives,” Winger said.

The tour guides were center students who volunteered out of a pool of about 630 high schoolers from throughout the area, most of whom were in the eighth-graders’ shoes just a few years ago.

“They’re proud of what they’re doing, and they’re sharing that pride with others,” Winger said. “It takes the whole building to put this together, and we couldn’t be more appreciative of their efforts.”

Emily Dawson, a

Milledgeville High School senior studying criminal justice at the center, on Wednesday led one of the 14 groups of students from David L. Rahn Junor High School in Mount Morris.

It’s beneficial to gauge the students’ interests early on, to help them find what career direction is best, Dawson said.

“It’s not just about how great these programs can be for their future; it’s about all the people they’ll meet, too,” she said. “It’s important to let them know how important it is to be around other people in a different element.”

Dawson plans to major in biology at Sauk Valley Community College and eventually transfer to a 4-year university.

At the criminal justice presentation, WACC students talked with the eighth-graders about fingerprinting, police equipment, crime scene investigations and more.

Some of the students donned drunk driving goggles, which distort vision to simulate intoxication, and attempted to walk a line taped on the floor – to varying degrees of success.

Justice Pyron, a presenter from Rock Falls High School, said, “It’s going pretty good. The kids’ve been interested.”

LANARK – Everyone old is new again.

The Lanark City Council swore in new members at its May 2 meeting, with former Ward 3 Alderman Ken Viglietta sworn as mayor.

Viglietta replaced Mayor John Huggins, who will be moving out of the city and did not seek re-election.

The council voted 4-1 to approve former Ward 3 Alderman Mark Macomber to fill Viglietta’s seat.

Macomber, a 16-year alderman, did not run again on April 4. Alderman Lara Tallman voted against the

Next meeting The Lanark City Council’s next meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. May 16 at City Hall, 111-A S. Broad St. appointment.

The council also approved an offer of $3,500 to purchase the lanarkil.com domain name from Huggins, who had maintained the site for the past 12 years. The agreement also includes Huggins doing up to 2 hours of design changes or updates, and up to 2 hours of training for an official or employee to make minor updates.

In addition, Huggins

offered to continue to do updates and changes for $22.50 per hour.

“I have some clients in Rockford whom I charge $36 per hour. I want to give back with the $22.50 per hour (fee),” Huggins said.

Steve Kruzek also approached the board about future website updates and corrections.

“Because Lanark is my town, I would charge a flat fee, which is $100, a little less than $10 per hour. I love doing it, and I love the town,” Kruzek said.

Viglietta referred the question to the city’s public relations committee, for a report back at the council’s May 16 meeting.

After the tour, the Eastland students discussed what they liked about the visit.

“I might even own my own auto shop,” he said.

Most of the group, including rural resident Kiley True, 15, and Madalyn Steidinger and Carson Witt, both 14 and of Lanark, cited criminal justice as their favorite part of the tour. “”Maybe police work,” True said of her possible future career.

CHADWICK-MILLEDGEVILLE SCHOOLS

Addition faces obstacles Superintendent: Board hesistant about cost

BY PHILLIP HARTMAN Prairie Advocate phartman@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5525

MILLEDGEVILLE – Prospects for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning work and a possible addition at Milledgeville High School are dimming.

Chadwick-Milledgeville school board members heard an update May 1 from OpTerra Energy Services representatives about the proposed work. The project would include replacing the school’s HVAC system and selected windows, remodeling and repurposing existing classroom

Courtney J. and Seth C. Smith of Milledgeville are the parents of a daughter born at 3:53 p.m. April 30, 2017, at CGH Medical Center in Sterling.

Kynnadi Kelli Christine Smith weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces at birth and was 21 inches in length.

She is welcomed by Christian Smith, 6, and Thea Smith, 4.

Maternal grandparents are Jeffery and Cindy Thompson of Coleta.

Paternal grandparents are Dan and Tami Smith of Sterling.

Paternal great-grandmothers are Elaine Smith and DaNita Thompson, both of Abingdon.

EDUCATION Local students earn MTI scholarships MOLINE – Two West Carroll High School seniors are among the recipients of scholarships from the mikeroweWORKS Foundation and Midwest Technical Institute.

Michael Kinder and Makenzie Klein were among the recipients. So, too, was Tod Goodell of Fulton High School.

The program awards scholarships of varying amounts, for each of MTI’s campuses in mechanical trade, allied health, cosmetology and transportation training programs.

Annual

SPRING CLEAN-UP DAY in the Village of MILLEDGEVILLE will be on

Monday, May 15, 2017 WILL NOT TAKE CHEMICALS, TIRES, BATTERIES, CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS OR ELECTRONICS: FOR ELECTRONICS, PLEASE CONTACT CITY HALL.

The next meeting of the Chadwick-Milledgeville School Board will be at 7 p.m. May 15 at Milledgeville High School, 100 E. Eighth St. space, and asbestos abatement. The possible addition would include a gymnasium and office space.

First Midstate Investment Bankers Senior Vice President David Pistorius spoke to the board about bond financing options for the project. The overall cost is estimated at $10.5 million.

Superintendent Tim Schurman said he thought the board was hesitant to invest that much money at this time.

“It’s up to the board. I think they’ll

come to a conclusion this next board meeting (May 15).” Schurman said.

The project has been discussed since July.

“I think we’ve exhausted that,” Schurman said of whether the district might go back to the drawing board on the project.

OpTerra representatives toured the school in April to assess possible costs and what work needed to be done.

In action at the May 1 meeting, the board voted to: • Appoint Dave Wagenknecht to fill a vacancy on the board.

• Elect Sandy Baylor-Schmidt as president, Brad Smith as vice president, and Pam Eubanks as secretary.

MORRISON

Student wins Gallon Grad honor Prairie Advocate staff

Kynnadi Kelli Christine Smith

Next meeting

MORRISON – Morrison High School senior Emma Melton received a Gallon Grad award from the Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center for donating blood at least 8 times (approximately 1 gallon) before graduating.

Students are eligible to begin donating blood at age 16, with a signed parental permission form, provided by the Blood Center. Most begin donating at a blood drive hosted by their high school.

“These students have done something really special,” said Sharee Hoegerl, donor

relations consultant for MVRBC. “As dedicated blood donors, they provide Emma Melton a resource that helps save lives at hospitals throughout our region.”

Gallon Grad award recipients receive an award certificate and a Red Cord that signifies the connection between the blood donor, the Blood Center, and patients who have been helped by the student’s donations. With permission from their school, students

may choose to wear the Red Cord in their high school graduation ceremony.

Key Club advisor Kris Bielema said of Melton, “She has been a Key Club member all 4 years. ... It is the MHS Key Club that hosts the annual student blood drives. We have hosted blood drives for 19 years; the Mississippi Valley Blood Center has been our provider since 2009. Emma has not only donated at those drives, she has also assisted at them.

Last year, both Krysta Mapes and Ryan Tillman were Gallon Grads and Key

Clubbers.”

MVRBC is the provider of blood and blood components to Genesis Health System, Morrison County Hospital, and UnityPoint Health-Quad Cities. Blood donation is a safe, simple procedure that takes about 1 hour. Donors must be at least 16, in good health, and weigh at least 110 pounds. An MVRBC Donor ID card or photo identification is required to donate; 16-year olds must present a signed parental permission form, available from the Blood Center or online at www.bloodcenter. org.

Local kids mark Earth Day

By Chastity Welch Carroll County Manager

I

have been saying we have something fun coming up. Something we haven’t tried before.

Well. here is the scoop.

The chance to take a farm tour and enjoy our local foods is coming to you this fall. The Carroll County Farm Bureau Young Leaders are sponsoring their first Farm to Fork, Carroll County’s Tasteful Agricultural Experience. The event will take place on Sunday, Aug. 27, beginning at 4 p.m. at Livengood Barn in Chadwick. A limited number of tickets will be sold for this local dining event. Cost is $30 a person or $50 a couple.

The evening will kick off with a local beef farm tour in which guests will be transported to the farm.

Following the tour, the Young Leaders have a local chef, Scott Heeren with Custom Catering and BBQ, lined up to prepare local grown and raised ingredients into mouthwatering dishes.

Each course of the meal will also be paired with local brews or wines.

During dinner, we will be having local producers speak on their farm. Currently participating in the program

Don’t hesitate and miss out of this fun-filled evening, enjoying a delicious meal.

Tickets are available through the Carroll County Farm Bureau at 815-244-3001.

We are very excited to offer up this event. What is better than a fun filled evening of food and friends in a great country setting?

Raise your hand if you are over the rain! Yep, I see all your hands up. I was thoroughly enjoying the spring we were having back in March. Now, if Mother Nature would hold some of this rain for this summer! I know it wrecked havoc on the last few weeks of our baseball schedule.

You have a day or two left to get that gift for mom!

Stop by our office to grab mom a candle. We have a wide variety of scents and sizes in stock. We also now take debit or credit cards as well.

Celebrate Mother’s Day! My mother has a wonderful gift,

H

I cherish most more than this gift, is The love she gives to me right now, And through the past I take a bow, To the life she gave to me, And what she taught and provided me, So many things I cannot recall, And of course the things of all, Great meaning and thought to pray, How much I now just have to say, Including that I love her much, And thanks for things, including such, The treasures that mean more to me, I appreciate it all that you made me be.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

3

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
