THE SOUTHERN

John Pfeifer was appointed Thursday as the new publisher of The Southern Illinoisan.

Pfeifer succeeds Bob Williams, who transferred earlier in the week to Provo, Utah, as publisher of The Daily Herald. Lee Enter-prises is the owner of both The Southern and The Daily Herald.

Pfeifer previously served as a publisher for Lee in Twin Falls, Idaho; Elko, Nev.; DeKalb and Rhinelander, Wis. He also previ-ously was advertising director for

Lees River Valley Newspaper Group, headquartered in La Crosse, Wis. He returns to Lee a year after leav-ing to become vice president of sales development and training for the

Community Publication Division of GateHouse Media Inc.

Very much like Bob, John is a superb leader keenly focused on providing print and digital audi-ences with the best local news,

information and advertising, said Nathan Bekke, Lee group publisher. He has a great record of success in our company, and were thrilled to welcome him back to Lee. He will be a ter-rific addition to our team at The Southern, as well as to the com-munity.

Among community activities, Pfeifer worked with teachers, administrators and other com-munity leaders on the Twin Falls School District Budget Advi-sory Committee and received the Idaho Association of School

Administrators Leadership for Public Education Award. He also has been active on the Education Foundation and other not-for-profit boards. In 2012, he won the Idaho Press Club first-place award for editorial writing.

I am very glad to return to Lee and am excited that it will be with The Southern Illinoisan. Our son graduated from SIU four years ago, and Ive also had the chance to get a feel for whats important to readers and advertisers in the

Although nearly 2,000 miles away, the recent earthquake and aftershocks in Los Angeles serve as reminders that our proximity to the New Madrid and Wabash Valley fault lines means we also are at risk. The message from Harvey Henson, Jr., assistant dean of our College of Science and geophysicist, is that while we cant predict earthquakes, we can be ready for them.

We shouldnt be worried, he said. We should be prepared.

An Indiana native, Harvey came here for a research assis-tantship in geology in 1985. He was a research project specialist in the geology department from 1990 to 2008, and he has been a geology instructor since 2001.

Harvey has been sharing his expertise in earthquake seismol-ogy with local officials, emer-gency responders, and school and community groups for more than 20 years. In addition, work-ing with a colleague at Oklahoma University, he has received a number of grants from the state and federal emergency manage-ment agencies in recent years that

have funded public service a n n o u n c e -ments and the DVD, Sud-denly on an Average Day. He is happy to

provide the DVD to individuals and groups; you can e-mail him at henson@cos.siu.edu

Thanks to a new $230,000 grant, Harvey and his col-league will expand the outreach effort with more public service announcements and educa-tional DVDs.

We want to help people learn how to do the things they need to do to be prepared, Harvey said. We know its a good idea to strap your water heater to the wall. But nobody shows you how to do that. Thats an example of what we want to accomplish with these videos.

In addition to his ongoing earthquake research and out-reach, Harvey serves as assistant dean for recruitment, reten-tion and outreach in the College of Science. His passion for the

college, SIU, and the importance of educating the next generation of scientists is apparent every time I talk with him.

We have so much to offer to students who want to study in the science, technology, engi-neering and math (STEM) fields,

he said. As a research university, we give students an opportunity to learn by doing.

I know how hard Harvey and his colleagues have been work-ing at student recruitment, and

Henson shares expertise with students and community

We wanted the children to become more culturally aware and celebrate their heritage, as well as the heritage of oth-ers around the world, Miriam Uribe, English as a second lan-guage teacher, said.

Each student gets a pass-port, and they can travel around the world, Uribe said.

In addition to displays, vid-eos, music, games and dem-onstrations, a snack from each country was served to visitors in each classroom, such as spumoni (Italy), seaweed and tea (Korea), eclairs (France) and scones (Ireland).

Cobden Elementary Show Choir sang and gave a dem-onstration of square dancing. Student teacher Kevin Thomas was the caller and led the songs. Music teacher Tanya Chapman accompanied the choir.

They shared the culture of Ireland by creating a

enrollment in the college has been growing. In fact, it is up 27 percent over the past five years. Thats important for our univer-sity, and for our nation, because of the need for more STEM professionals.

Harvey looks forward to participating in our open houses and other recruit-ment efforts because he enjoys the interaction with prospective students and their families. But, as he has told me, he also rec-ognizes, Im the old guy. Its the parents who want to talk with me. So over the past five years, he has put a priority on building and mentoring the Saluki

Science Ambassadors, sci-ence majors who can share their Saluki experiences with prospective students.

When we created that group, we had 14 stu-dents, Harvey said. We now have more than 300 ambassadors, and it is the largest student orga-nization in the College of Science.

I appreciate Harveys commitment, and that of faculty and staff through-out the university, to our students and to this region that we all call home.

CARBONDALE The annual student showcase and runway fashion show presented by seniors in SIUCs Fashion Design and Merchandising program will help shake off these late winter doldrums.

Nine student designers, including one male stu-dent, are working fever-ishly on their ensembles of clothing for young women and men for the runway fashion show, which starts at 7 p.m. April 24 in Stu-dent Center Ballroom D.

Admission is free and the public is welcome.

The evening starts at 6 p.m. in the Student Ce n te r s J.W. Co rke r Lounger with junior- and senior-level fashion design students showing original garments they created. Exhibits include experimental design gar-ments and student proj-ects from a variety of classes including fashion illustration and fashion styling. One exhibit fea-tures a brand development collaboration project that will show the creative tal-ents of fashion merchan-dising students, fashion designers, fashion stylists and interior design stu-dents. The exhibits can be viewed until 7 p.m.

The runway fashion show will begin with the 2014 Red and Black

Collection, presenting original cocktail dresses in signature red and black colors. The featured event is the presentation of nine garment collections from senior fashion designers.

T h e n i n e s t u d e n t designers are responsible for every detail of their collection, from concept to fashion illustration, fabric sourcing, pattern-ing and construction, model and music selec-tion, and accessory coor-dination.

The production of these collections is the first step in launching the careers of these young fashion designers. They get real-life experience in the entire design process, as well as an understand-ing of the stress and pres-sure that is part of the fashion industry, said Laura K. Kidd, a fashion design associate professor.

More than 125 students from majors all over cam-pus are involved. Organiz-ers are also collaborating with cosmetology pro-gram students from John A. Logan College for hair and makeup artists for runway models.

For more information, email Kidd at lkidd@siu.edu.

HARRISBURG Court Appointed Special Advo-cates of Saline County will host Hands Around the Courthouse at noon April 15 at Saline County Court-house.

CASA board members and staff, the judge, attor-neys, representatives from social agencies and mem-bers of the community will join hands to help raise awareness of child abuse prevention. April is Child Abuse Prevention Month.

In 2012, there were 417 family reports of child abuse or neglect in Saline County. In 2013, another 54 cases were added to the mix in Saline County.

just one person to speak up for an abused or neglected child, then one childs life may be saved, said Trina Irwin, executive director for CASA of Saline County.

CASA is a needed organization. Abused and neglected children need a voice in the court system, and CASA is that voice. Hopefully, concerned citi-zens will take a moment to come to the courthouse on the 15th to acknowl-edge the plight of abused and neglected children of Saline County.

For more information about the event or how to become a CASA volunteer, call Irwin at 618-253-3355 or visit salinecocasa@yahoo.com.

Carbondale business receives Award

CARBONDALE The office of Leslie P. Williams CPA has been recognized as a Bright Spot in Car-bondale. The former home at 2501 W. Murphysboro Road has been trans-formed into an attractive and inviting setting for clients and for driving past the building. Williams said the house had been on the market for three years and was in need of some TLC. Re-using some of the original elements, like

the weather-vane or the old windows that are now parts of tables, lends a special charm and reflects appreciation for history.

The board of direc-tors at Keep Carbondale Beautiful was enthusiastic about the award, say-ing that the corner really benefits from the change. Since Williams has clients from De Soto and Mur-physboro, as well as Car-bondale, the location is convenient for them, too.

The Keep Carbondale Beautiful Inc. board selects businesses or residences to receive the Bright Spot Award for revitalization of property, new construction, plant-ings and beautification, upkeep and maintenance, or rehabilitation.

To nominate a busi-ness or residence for the award, call the Keep Car-bondale Beautiful office at 618-525-5525 or email BrightSpotAward@gmail.com. Archives of some past Bright Spot Award winners may be found at www.keepcb.org.

EFFINGHAM Car-bondale resident Kristine B. McGuire and Carterville resident Steve Battiste last weekend received two days of intensive training and preparation for their anticipated service in the presidencies of the Rotary Clubs in Carbondale.

and meet needs in the Car-bondale community and to invite others who want to make a difference to join us. That club meets at 7 a.m. every Tuesday in the Varsity Center for the Arts in Carbondale. For further information concerning its activities, contact Battiste at 618-201-7509.

McGuire said one of her principal goals for the original Carbondale Rotary Club next year would be to

expand the clubs service projects, such as providing bike helmets for second graders. Her club meets at noon every Wednesday in the Elementary School Dis-trict headquarters on Giant City Road in Carbondale. For further information concerning its activities, contact McGuire at 618-529-1680.
