[MAY 3, 2001]  Each winter Logan County Soil and Water Conservation District conducts a poster contest for all the fifth-graders in the county. This year's conservation theme for the posters was "Lines on the Land." Events included a classroom presentation along with a video.

Winners of the poster contest were Hanna Laramee, first place, $20; Pat Gleason and Kaitlyn Kutz, tied for second place, $10 each; and Christina Stoll, third place, $5.

[First- and second-place winners from Elkhart sit with their teacher, Mrs. Ann Olson. From left to right are Hanna Laramee, Pat Gleason and Kaitlyn Kutz.]

[The third-place winner, Christina Stoll, is from Zion Lutheran School in Mount Pulaski. She is pictured here with her teacher, Mrs. Jean Davis.]

Winners of honorable mention in the contest included Shekinah Pelc from New Wine School, Jarod Parrott from Elkhart Grade School, Jamie Curry from Elkhart Grade School and Dustin Aylesworth from Zion Lutheran School in Mount Pulaski.

The Logan County Soil and Water Conservation District distributes trees to all the third-graders in the county each year for Arbor Day. Resource conservationist Steve Bracey delivered white pine seedlings to the third-grade class at Elkhart Grade School and gave a short presentation in observance of Arbor Day.

[APRIL 27, 2001]  Chester-East Lincoln and the Lincoln Police Department are beginning violence prevention instruction as early as possible: kindergarten. And as Officer Montcalm and kindergarten teachers Mrs. Foran and Mrs. Warnisher have learned, the message is sinking in.

When Officer Montcalm arrived the students shared with him how the techniques that he had taught them in earlier sessions were working. They shared specifically how they used his tips to control their anger during the week. A couple of kindergarteners said they used the breathing technique. Others tried talking through disputes or going to an adult.

The violence prevention curriculum focuses on three things: cooperation, understanding it is OK to disagree, and a "Healthy and Positive People Alphabet."

In the first class session, the students learned two BIG words, which they were able to recall even in the third lesson: cooperation and disagreements. The class defined cooperation as "working together." The students also remembered that when it comes to disagreements, it is OK to disagree, because everybody is different.

During the second session, the students worked through an activity book that illustrated ways to control anger. In addition to the breathing technique and discussing problems, students also learned to yell into a pillow or count to 10 slowly.

After a short review of the last two classes, Officer Montcalm took the students through the Healthy and Positive People Alphabet. The class met trusted adults such as an Ambulance driver, Doctor, Firefighter, McGruff, Neighbors, Police officer and Sheriff. They reviewed dangerous habits to avoid, such as Cigarettes and Guns, and good habits to practice: Buckle-up, Exercise, Helmets, Jump rope, Kites, Orange juice, Reading, Vegetables, Washing hands and Zipping coats.

[Students listed the messages they learned in the two songs.]

The two kindergarten classes also listened to two songs. The first was about playing it safe and taking a bite out of crime. It instructed the students to look left, right and left before crossing the street, learn their address and phone numbers, and never let strangers know that they are home alone. The second song, "Stop the Violence," suggested ways students can help reduce violence.

Before leaving, each student received a McGruff sheriff’s badge-sticker. After next week’s session, each student will be awarded a certificate for the completion of the violence prevention program for kindergarteners.

Educators and officers alike hope that the students will remember and use the simple tips and easy habits they learned in kindergarten to reduce the level of violence around them.

[APRIL 7, 2001]  Talent: Think of the word, apply it to Lincoln Community High School, and whom do you think of? Our recently honored basketball star Greg Alexander? Sports is not the only place you’ll find all-stars. How about Kyle Sitton? Haven’t heard of him? Well, the talents of Sitton and many other LCHS students were on display Thursday evening at the second annual LCHS Showcase of Talents. From 6:30 to 8:30, any and all could walk the halls of LCHS and admire the many skills of our next generation.

[Click here to see photos from the LCHS Showcase of Talents]

From cookies in Ms. Silano’s Culinary Arts room to entertainment centers outside of Mr. Spear’s woodworking shop, the many and varied skills could be seen, felt, heard and tasted (yum)! For the record, Sitton is a junior in Mr. Parrott’s welding class. He made the 7-foot-tall "welding man" on display in the gym foyer.

Mr. Jim Moore, the electronics teacher, demonstrated an electronic car, built by his students, that would change direction whenever it sensed an object in front of it. In Mr. Moore’s computer classes the students learn how to assemble a computer from "parts" to "power on!"

In Ms. Welsh’s advanced biology class, students had constructed displays of cell and city models, giving insights for comparisons between the real and the micro worlds.

Some displays taught you things without you realizing it. The students from the math classes were playing miniature golf on a course they constructed themselves. The lesson? No, not how to subtract strokes from your score, but a hidden lesson in geometric angles.

Ms. Chamberlain’s display for the Survey of Family and Consumer Science class concentrated on the importance of milk. Students made milkshakes for consumption. They also took donations for Child Abuse Awareness Month, with proceeds going to DCFS. This class, formerly known as home ec, is doing a good job preparing its students for the "real world" after graduation.

In Mr. Parrott’s welding class, students learn basic and advanced welding techniques, such as MIG and TIG welding. Plaques for top honors, awarded from competitions over the past six years, are proudly displayed in the woodworking shop.

[to top of second column in this article]

His woodworking students learn the basics about using the tools and safety, at the beginning of the school year, and work throughout the year on various projects. The large desk, built by Dani Moser, on display outside of the woodworking shop, was an example of the fine craftsmanship of Mr. Spear’s students.

Ms. Silano’s culinary class was, probably, the most popular. The delicious food made by her students was eagerly gobbled up by parents and students alike.

Upstairs, in the band room, a new school anthem composed by students Jason Yarcho and Kyle Pepperell could be seen and heard.

Not on display at LCHS, but a project that can be seen in the Mayfair subdivision, is a 1½ story house in the midst of construction by students involved with the Lincoln Land Technical Education Center (LTEC). Under the guidance and tutelage of Bill Marquardt, area students bus out to the building site daily. They learn basic construction skills and put those skills to work. After completion, the house will be sold to the highest bidder. Any profits go toward the house to be built by next year’s LTEC students. This is the 35^th year for building houses by LCHS students.

These projects, and many more that were on display, were ample proof of the abundant talents of the kids attending LCHS. With the instruction and guidance of the dedicated teachers of LCHS nurturing this talent, our next generation appears to be in good hands.

[APRIL 14, 2001]   The Zonta Club of Lincoln recently completed judging for their health career scholarships being awarded for the 20^th consecutive year. Since 1981 Zonta has awarded 55 scholarships, totaling $56,750, to 41 recipients. The following five students from Logan County were awarded $1,000 each for 2001:

•  Tara Ashley, the daughter of Tom and Nancy Ashley of Lincoln, is a junior studying pharmacy at Purdue University. Tara has attained the dean’s list for the past three years and is a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. During the past summer she worked as a pharmacy technician at a Lincoln pharmacy.

•  Nicole Ludolph, a senior at Eastern Illinois University, will begin studies at Southern Illinois School of Dental Medicine this fall. A member of the Association of Honor Students and Kappa Delta sorority, she was selected from a national pool of applicants to participate in a professional oncology education program at St. Jude Research Hospital in Memphis last summer and was invited to return again this summer.

•  Shannon Perez of Lincoln is a freshman in the radiographic technology program at Lincoln Land Community College. She is married to Cecilio Perez and is the mother of three children. Shannon is an assistant Girl Scout leader and a volunteer at Northwest School.

•  Kathryn Jean Stoll is the daughter of Kenton and Marcia Stoll of rural Chestnut. A freshman at the University of Illinois, she is a student in the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences and Human Nutrition. Her academic goal is to become a child and adolescent psychiatrist. She was awarded the Jonathan Baldwin Turner Scholarship in the College of ACES.

•  Melissa Williamson, daughter of Guy and Sue Williamson of Lincoln, is a sophomore studying occupational therapy at St. Louis University. She serves as a mentor through the St. Louis University outreach program and is the sophomore student representative to the occupational therapy program.

The Zonta Club of Lincoln congratulates all the scholarship applicants for their high level of academic attainment and encourages them to participate in the program next year.

[APRIL 7, 2001]   The United States Achievement Academy has announced that Kristina Allen of Lincoln has been named a United States National Award Winner in English.

This award is a prestigious honor very few students can ever hope to attain. In fact, the academy recognizes fewer than 10 percent of all American students.

Kristina, who attends Lincoln Junior High, was nominated for this national award by Kathy Litherland, a teacher at the school.

Kristina will appear in the United States Achievement Academy Official Yearbook, which is published nationally.

"Recognizing and supporting our youth is more important than ever before in America's history. Certainly, United States Achievement Academy winners should be congratulated and appreciated for their dedication to excellence and achievement," said Dr. George Stevens, executive director of the United States Achievement Academy.

[to top of second column in this article]

The academy selects USAA winners upon the exclusive recommendation of teachers, coaches, counselors, and other qualified sponsors and upon the standards of selection set forth by the academy. The criteria for selection are a student's academic performance, interest and aptitude, leadership qualities, responsibility, enthusiasm, motivation to learn and improve, citizenship, attitude and cooperative spirit, dependability, and recommendation from a teacher or director.

Kristina Allen is the daughter of Steve and Shelly Allen of Lincoln. Her grandparents are Paul and Helen Allen and Maxine (and the late Weldon) Ryan, all of Pekin.

[MARCH 15, 2001]  Junior high school and high school students have an opportunity to attend summer camp offered by the Touch of Nature Environmental Center at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. These camps combine adventure skills such as canoeing, caving, camping and hiking with a challenge to both physically and mentally develop an awareness and respect for our environment.

 Through a series of activities, campfire discussions and presentations, students are involved in current environmental issues, which will help them become problem-solvers of the future. This appears to be an excellent opportunity for any student interested in the field of conservation.

This year's programs include Ozark canoeing expeditions for high school students and the Ozark Riverways Canoe Trip for sixth- to eighth-grade students. Program information has been sent to all high school and junior high schools in Logan County.

The Logan County Soil and Water Conservation District will be sponsoring one full scholarship or two partial scholarships, depending on the number of applications received. Students interested in information concerning scholarship applications and funding should contact the district office, 1650 Fifth St. Road in Lincoln, (217) 732-2010, Ext. 3.

Students will need to submit a short description of their interests and why they would like to attend one of the workshops. The deadline for applications is May 11.
