Andrew Wissert and Jeannette Windon, education staff members for United States Senator Mark Kirk, recently contacted Regional Superintendent Dr. Marc Kiehna and asked to visit an elementary school in Randolph County.
On April 24, Red Bud High school seniors participated in a career and finance simulation called Welcome the Real World put on by University of Illinois Extension. Youth Development Educator, Michelle Bisel, lead the students through choosing a career and flash forwarded them into the shoes of a 25 year old.

The committee is pleased to announce that “Alice the Goon” and her child will be the next entries in the Popeye and Friends Character Trail. The statue will be unveiled at the Chester Center on September 8, 2012 following the Popeye Picnic Parade.
Alice made her first comic strip appearance with Popeye on December 10, 1933 as the beastly cohort of the evil Sea Hag. Two weeks later she was called the “Goon” by a frightened Prof. Cringly, and a new word was added to the English language (Elzie C. Segar, Popeye’s creator, is credited with the invention of the words “goon” and “jeep”). Alice the Goon soon became friends with Popeye and later even became Swee’ Pea’s babysitter. Her strange, oscilloscope language was only understood by Wimpy, a mystery never explained. Elzie C. Segar was known to use real people that lived in his hometown of Chester in the early 1900’s as his inspiration for many of the characters in the Popeye comic strips, but Alice has no clear connection to anyone in his past.
The Illinois Senate Education Committee passed HB 5290 out of their committee last Tuesday. The bill provides a framework for districts to follow in their bullying and harassment policies. Generally, the bill addresses recommendations made last year by the School Violence Prevention Task Force. Citing recent research, the Task Force reported that bullying is a major problem in schools and that bullying victims suffer not just as students but also in their lives in general, often for years.

Kim Ferrari of Du Quoin was one of the 12 Perry County residents who sat on the jury for two weeks last May that convicted Christopher Coleman of murdering his wife and two sons in their Columbia, Ill. home in May 2009.
The hour and 15 minute shuttle ride every day was “tedious” and the endless hours of hearing testimony and deliberating “painful,” she remembers.
This Saturday, May 5 at 9 p.m. CDT the local CBS affiliate KFVS-TV Channel 12 will air a special documentary called “The Writing on the Wall: The Christopher Coleman Case.”
Kim and three other jurors from Perry County who convicted Coleman were interviewed for three hours in January for this “48 Hours/Mystery” special. Segments of those interviews will be shown on air.
