ABCs
and anger control
Kindergarteners
learn from policeman
[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."
![](../images/ads/maple/maple092500.jpg)
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.

LCHS
Showcase of Talents
[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.

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 35th 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.

Kids
learn the strength of cooperation
[MARCH
16, 2001] A
short lesson in cooperation.
|
You’re
in third grade and one day you are given:
- 1 piece of colored paper
- 1 sheet foil
- colored pencils
- stick glue
- 5 sticks
-
and
a partner.
It’s
the partner thing that’s the biggie. It can work for you or
against you, as you’re about to find out.
Day 1
Now
Officer Montcalm is standing in front of your class and explaining
that today is a planning day. You have a few minutes to work out
what you will be doing with these materials. Tomorrow you must
create something, and you want to make it good.
You’re
given some guidelines:
- One person can go for
help. You must decide together who it will be.
- You must work out
together what you will be making.
-
Then
the tough part — which one of you will be responsible for
storing and retrieving the materials. Only one of you is allowed
to do it.
[to
top of second column in this article]
|
Day 2
The
next day Officer Montcalm returns, and the responsible partner must
go get your stuff so you can get going on making your sure-to-be
stunning creation. You have only 15 minutes, so time is at a
premium. Time goes quickly.
Now the
real lesson
Everyone
must show what they made and talk about why they got it done or why
not.
West
Lincoln-Broadwell third-grade teacher Mrs. Boyer points out that the
projects that came together the best were done by the partners that
cooperated the best. She could see the children learned a lot in the
process about cooperation — that more gets done better when you
work together with someone rather than against each other or even
alone.
Officer
Rich Montcalm visits schools in the Lincoln area teaching kids about
getting along and avoiding substance abuse through the Violence
Prevention and DARE programs.

Kristina
Allen recognized
[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.
![](../images/ads/Key%20Printing/key.gif)

![](../images/ads/prairie_years/Prairie_years_small_ad.gif)
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.

Conservation
summer camp opportunity available
[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.
