LCHS group conducts
canned goods drive
It's the A's against the B's; it's for
everyone
Student government at
Lincoln Community High School has been approached by Alan Feinstein,
a leading philanthropist, who is offering 50 awards of $1,000 to the
schools that collect the most canned goods. Our canned goods will be
going to the Community Food Pantry. To collect the canned goods we
are holding a competition between A and B clubs.
We would like to earn
this money for our school and at the same time provide a competition
between clubs. We would also like to open this opportunity to anyone
at LCHS and our community. We would like your support in helping us
reach our goal of 1,500 canned goods. Student government would
really appreciate any canned foods you could donate. Please drop
your canned goods by the front office.
Thank you.

SPRINGFIELD -- The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency will
sponsor 12 household hazardous waste collection events this spring,
between April 12 and June 21. Collections in Springfield and
Bloomington will be on May 3.
"This program continues to be an important service to Illinois
citizens," said Illinois EPA Director Renee Cipriano. "Each year,
the Illinois EPA coordinates these collections with local
co-sponsors. Since they began 1989, 262,100 households have
participated in 292 events, with 53,765 drums of material
collected."
Local communities work with the Illinois EPA to give citizens the
opportunity to rid their homes of unused or leftover household
products that are potentially harmful.
Citizens may bring oil-based paints, thinners, chemical cleaners,
antifreeze, motor oil, weed killers, insecticides and pesticides,
and similar household products. Citizens are encouraged to find
alternative uses for latex paint since it is not considered
hazardous. Fluorescent and other high-intensity discharge lamps may
also be brought to the collections. Items not accepted include auto
batteries (which should be taken to local recyclers), explosives,
propane tanks, fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, agricultural
chemicals and all business wastes.
An Illinois EPA contractor disposes of the wastes in an
environmentally friendly manner. The events are free to the public
and are paid for by a portion of the statewide fees on solid waste
taken to landfills.
Logan County is on the waiting list to host a collection in the
future. However, if residents wish to take to their waste products
to one of the currently scheduled sites, they may. One-day
collections are open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Saturdays listed
below.

Lincoln Rotary
Club looks for host families
The Lincoln Rotary Club is currently
looking for four host families for next school year, beginning this
August. Rotary hopes to bring an international or foreign exchange
male student into our community for the year, with the student
scheduled to return home in July 2004.
Each host family will have the
responsibility of housing the student for only three months. In this
way, four families will get to experience a life from another
culture, and the student will get a slice of Americana from the
perspective of four different family experiences.
If you are
interested in participating in this program, please call Bob Jeckel
at 735-5372 or Lynn Laughlin at 735-1793.

Walkers brave brisk weather
in record-breaking fund-raiser
[APRIL
9, 2003]
Despite bruising winds and
temperatures of 35 to 42 degrees, the fourth annual MS Walk was a
rousing success! Over 100 walkers and volunteers stepped off, led by
Tom Seggelke of Key Printing, a longtime supporter of the walk, and
turned in approximately $15,000. Walkers came from Mount Pulaski,
New Holland, Hartsburg, Middletown, Normal, Maryville, Pawnee,
Rushville, Lincoln, Elkhart and Murray, Ky.
|
|
DJs Joe, Greg and Josh Hackett provided
music and announcements while walkers gathered for the event. Twanna
Edwards of Bloomington inspired the walkers with her beautiful
rendition of "God Bless America" as the people started. Also, a
moment of silence was held in support of our service men and women.
In addition to the amount turned in by
the walkers, additional funds totaling approximately another $4,000
were received from businesses, corporations and others interested in
finding a cure for this disease. Several local businesses also
furnished prizes for the walkers. The almost $19,000 total is a
record for the Lincoln MS Walk.

The money raised on this and other
walks in Illinois will help toward the cure and many programs for
those with MS and their families.
Multiple sclerosis is a disease that
usually strikes young adults between 20 and 50 years of age. It is a
chronic disease of the central nervous system, affecting the brain
and the spinal cord. It comes and goes unpredictably.
The local
committee members, led by Jim and Nancy Ireland and Jennifer Kracaw,
are most grateful for all who were in any way a part of this
successful occasion.

It
is a time like no other. Since Sept. 11, 2001, we are a
changed nation. Individually, our daily sensitivity toward
whom and what we have in our lives has been
heightened. We are more conscious and appreciative, first
about those we love and see every day. Next, we have a
newfound appreciation for those who risk their lives every day
as rescue workers and protectors of life and property in our
communities. We also now think more about our military men and
women who are committed to serve and protect our country. Many
are away engaged in battle, some are in waiting to go, all are
ready to lay their lives on the line in defense of our
freedom.
