Miss
Illinois, Whitney Thorpe-Klinsky, a 23-year-old
Illinois Wesleyan University graduate from New
Baden, was a guest speaker at Mount Pulaski High
School Monday morning. Her topic was “The dangers
of distracted driving.” She was the invited
guest of Mount Pulaski State Farm Insurance
agent Deron Powell. Miss Thorpe-Klinsky engaged the students
by asking them questions about their views of
distracted driving. Her theme was that we
all can make the right choices and that a car
accident is just that
-- an
“accident” that could in most situations be
avoided.
The story and more pictures
are in today's Top Stories.
