Illinois Drug Education Alliance chooses Lincoln for
Outstanding Community Award

Community leaders recognized for cooperative efforts

The city of Lincoln, through the work of the Healthy Communities Partnership (HCP), was selected by the Illinois Drug Education Alliance (IDEA) to be the winner of the Betsy Houghton Award. Betsy Houghton was a strong advocate of alcohol, tobacco and drug prevention. When she died, IDEA named their Outstanding Community Award after her.

IDEA is an umbrella which covers alcohol, tobacco and drug prevention groups in the state of Illinois. Prevention First and DARE are just two of those organizations. For the past 18 years, IDEA has hosted an annual conference, and the Outstanding Community-Betsy Houghton Award is presented during the conference. This year’s conference was at the Peoria Civic Center over the weekend of Nov 19. Several people from the community attended the conference to represent Lincoln:  Dayle Eldredge, director of the HCP of Lincoln and Logan County; Mayor Joan Ritter; Bobbi Abbott, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce; Chief Rich Ludolph, of the Lincoln Police Department; and Darla Ludolph, director of radiology at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital.

The award is given each year to an Illinois community which has distinguished itself in alcohol, tobacco and other drug prevention programs. HCP was chosen this year for its involvement in prevention programs such as a mock DUI, Family Fun Day, compliance checks with the local police department, encouraging the City Council to strengthen laws, and educational classes in local schools. "We are pleased to receive this award in recognition and acknowledgment for the programs we support in our community," said Dayle Eldredge, local HCP director. "This award confirms the hard work that our community provides in the area of alcohol, tobacco and other drug prevention programs."

A delegation from the HCP, which included Mayor Ritter, representatives of Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital and Logan County Health Department, and 12 area youth received the award plaque on behalf of the city of Lincoln.

One of Lincoln’s teens was honored with an individual award. Laura Baker, a junior at Lincoln Community High School, received IDEA’s 2000 Outstanding Individual Youth Volunteer Award. She was nominated by Kristi Simpson of Logan Mason Mental Health because of her overall involvement in local alcohol, tobacco and drug prevention activities. Baker also attended the Illinois Teen Institute for the past two years, and now she is on its board. She is instrumental in Teens Out Teaching Success (TOTS). TOTS teaches fourth graders in the community about prevention, the dangers of different substances and about stereotyping other individuals. TOTS emphasizes to students the fact that, just by appearances, one cannot always tell who uses drugs and who does not.
