LOSTANT SCHOOL BOARD

Replacement of laptops considered by board LOSTANT — Lostant Grade School’s aging laptop computers are in need of replacement, and obtaining new devices might prompt more use of certain programs accessible to the district.

Inconvenience of use regarding Lostant’s computers could be having an effect on student engagement with curriculum-related programs.

“Our current laptops are taking a long time to start up, they’re buffering, they’re having problems with them, some don’t want to turn on,”

Superintendent Sandra Malahy told the school board, noting that the computers are seven years old and have reached a point of diminishing returns when it comes to repairs.

Malahy learned of the situation while investigating why students have not been making more use of various programs the district pays for. She would have expected the convenience features, such as automatic grading, would entice the students to use the programs more.

The cost to replace the district’s current 40 laptops with 40 new devices is $14,744, but Malahy cited a $14,011 grant that would bring the

out-of-pocket cost down to $733.

In other discussion, Malahy brought up the possibility of bringing a school bus full of students to the track meet this year: “Our kids never get to see what the track meet looks like unless they’re in track,” which means fewer students choose to participate as time goes on, since “all of the schools have declining numbers and there are fewer kids out for track.”

For his last full board meeting, after 16 years on the board, Mike Phillips told the board, “I just wanted to tell everybody I appreciate all their efforts.”

partners so both groups could benefit.

While the district would like to have 10 or 11 players on a team, the minimum required is nine. Tonica has seven, according to Principal-Superintendent Chuck Schneider, “and that’s including the two coming from Lostant.”

The district has been trying to recruit

more players from nearby locations, but other districts have had obligations to pre-existing co-ops, from which they cannot simply drop. However, further locations have been suggested, such as Deer Park, which does not currently have a team.

While the possibility remains that a Tonica team could form, Schneider

noted the current outlook suggests that “we may be out of luck.”

In other discussion, the district is looking into methods through which it might complete its remaining health-life safety projects on a quicker time frame.

How to donate blood

She added that her son wants to help give back to his community and thank the many people who previously donated their blood and continue to help save his life.

“We are hoping for a very good turnout and the blood we obtain is obviously very good for the community and those in need of blood,” said Kim Knoblauch, Evan’s aunt in the advance press release. “Many times a transfusion of blood can be a matter of life or death.”

“There are so many reasons why someone may need blood that we don’t even realize,” said Tammy Hibser, donor recruitment account manager for the Red Cross said in a press release.

“We take for granted that blood

will be there at the hospital when we need it, but it can only come from generous volunteer donors. Giving blood in Evan’s name is a wonderful way to celebrate his life and potentially help others.”

The drive also netted 17 Power Red donations. These donations are similar to whole blood donations, except a special machine allows for the donation of two units of red blood cells during one donation while returning the plasma and platelets to the donor.

According to the American Red Cross, blood is needed every two seconds in the United States to respond to patient emergencies, including accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease.

The Red Cross must collect more

TONICA — The village of Tonica exceeded expectations with residents’ support of the March 18 American Red Cross blood drive held at the United Methodist Church in honor of Evan Knoblauch.

Joyce Obermiller, a representative from Illini State Bank, which sponsored the event, was thrilled to report that 82 pints were donated.

“We’re extremely happy with the results. We had 65 available appointments and we filled 58 of them before the drive. We also had several walk-ins during the day,” she said.

A Red Cross press release said Knoblauch, a volunteer firefighter, experienced a pain that was thought to be a pulled muscle in March 2017, just before his 18th birthday.

After tests, Knoblauch was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, a cancerous tumor that grows in the bones or in the tissue around bones.

The tumor progressed to his lung, and after undergoing cancer treatments and receiving blood products, he thought he had won his battle against cancer, but recently learned it had returned.

The day of the blood drive, Knoblauch was undergoing additional cancer treatments, but his mother and aunt were present. They said he still has a positive attitude and that he remembers how volunteer blood donors gave their blood knowing it would be needed by someone.

“We think it’s wonderful how people are turning out for this to help because it’s so important. In the last two years, Evan has had seven

Download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-7332767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation. To get started and learn more, visit RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass and follow the instructions.
