C-EL 'mathletes' place near the top in regional

The results are in for Chester-East Lincoln’s Mathcounts team. Last Saturday, Feb. 3, teacher Doug Rader took 10 of his students to Millikin University in Decatur to compete in regional Mathcounts. Seven schools sent teams to regionals — 54 junior high students in all.

Chester-East’s team finished second overall, and team member Alison Kessinger finished second in the written individual tests and third in the oral individual competition. Chester-East’s second-highest-scoring student was Jared Davison; he was 13th of 54 students.

Only the top team in regional competition continues to state competition, which is at John’s Hill School in Decatur this year. The top two scoring individuals on the written exams also continue, so Kessinger advances to the March 3 state competition, which will be near Chicago. Not only does Kessinger get to compete for a seat at nationals this year, but as a seventh grader, she will be eligible for Mathcounts next year as an eighth grader.

"I was real proud of the kids," said Rader. He also noted their hard work after school hours and the team’s willingness to tackle difficult problems.

Doug Rader would also like to thank all of the businesses in Lincoln that sponsored this year’s Chester-East’s Mathcounts team: Best Friends Animal Hospital, Garrett R. W. Insurance Agency, H & R Block of Lincoln, Keystone Risk Management Inc., Mt. Pulaski Products Inc., Parker-Grieme Insurance Agency, and Woody Jones/State Farm Insurance.

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.

Rural Health Partnership receives award

The Rural Health Partnership (RHP) of Logan County has been selected by the Illinois Association of Area Agencies on Aging to receive the Sid Granet Aging Network Achievement Award.

The award is given in honor of the late Sid Granet to recognize achievement by individuals and community programs on aging that have enabled older Americans to reach their full potential. Debra Cook, of the Logan County Health Department, and Dayle Eldredge, director of RHP of Logan County, received the award Dec. 8 at the 2000 Governor’s Conference on Aging and Human Services in Chicago.

"We are pleased to receive this award in recognition of the programs and services provided to our rural communities," said Dayle Eldredge. "This award is a tribute to our volunteers for the unique role they play in ensuring our success."
