teachers find innovative ways to connect with their …...was if your monster won’t go to bed...
TRANSCRIPT
By: Natalie Lingenfelter News Writer
Students at Plainview Public Schools left school on March 12 thinking it would be a long week-end. However, as concerns of the Coronavirus grew, the school closed and transitioned to remote learning for all students.
Teachers at Plainview Public Schools are not only working to en-sure that their students have the ap-propriate paper/pencil materials but are working to find new and inno-vative ways to engage students.
Some teachers are creating lyrics and singing songs while some teachers are creating videos and teaching concepts. Teachers are on multiple platforms ensuring they are doing what they can to meet the needs of every student in every sin-gle class.
Plainview Public Schools Elemen-tary Principal, Heather Thompson, said she is in awe of what the teach-ers in both buildings have been able to do for students.
“I can’t say enough about how amazing the teachers and all the staff have been,” said Principal Thompson. “So many teachers have stepped out of the traditional edu-cation box that we all typically lived in and some amazing things have happened as a result. If this isn’t an amazing time to be a Plainview Pi-rate, then I don’t know when is!”
Mrs. White Mrs. White teaches 21 first
graders and even though she does-n’t get to see her students face-to-face, she continues her read aloud sessions. “We would always have some type of read aloud during our reading time and then after a recess to get the students minds back to learning after playing,” said Mrs. White.
Every Wednesday, Mrs. White posts a read aloud video for her stu-dents. The latest read aloud story was If Your Monster Won’t go to Bed written by Denise Vega and illus-trated by Zachariah Ohora. Mrs. White, with the help of her son, Decker, read the story to her stu-dents. After reading the story, it was the students’ turn to draw a monster. Step-by-step, Mrs. White taught her students how to draw a monster, just like the one in the story. At the end of her video, Mrs. White asked for her students to send her a pic-ture of their monster along with what they named it. At the end of every read aloud video, Mrs. White’s students try their hand at drawing a character from the book and send her a photo of their artwork.
Mrs. White has read an array of books thus far including Edward the Emu, I Don’t Want to Be a Frog, Pete
the Cat Easter Adventure, and Farfal-lina and Marcel. In addition to her read aloud books, Mrs. White intro-duces The Magic Tree House series to her students every year.
Filming her first read aloud video felt a little weird; but now that Mrs. White has filmed a few, she said it feels normal. “It helps when I have my son in the video so he’s listening to the story as I read,” said Mrs. White. “I knew that my students loved see-ing and hearing me so that was mo-tivation to keep going with it every week.”
Principal Thompson The teachers aren’t the only ones
interacting with students online. Plainview Public School’s Elemen-tary Principal, Heather Thompson, posts her own read aloud videos. “My goal was to try to get a new read aloud posted every week and I’m already a little behind,” said Prin-cipal Thompson. “Hopefully, I can get caught up!”
Principal Thompson’s first read aloud book was Say Something by Peter Reynolds. “Peter Reynolds is an amazing author who, at the begin-ning of the COVID-19 pandemic, im-mediately put out on social media to all teachers that he wanted teachers to read his books to their students,” said Principal Thompson. “Usually, we have to worry about strict copy-right laws when reading or publish-ing anything like this online, so all Plainview teachers have been very careful.”
Choosing a favorite children’s book is a difficult decision for Princi-pal Thompson because there are so many lessons taught. Principal Thompson may not have a favorite, but a children’s book that sticks out to her is Love You Forever by Robert Munsch. The story reminds Principal Thompson that no matter how naughty she was as a child, or no matter how naughty her children are- her parents love for her and her
love for her children is forever. “And yes, it’s true, I may have cried a time or two while reading this book,” said Principal Thompson.
When Principal Thompson was a teacher, she would always read Wonder by R.J. Palacio and recom-mends every fourth grader or above reads the book. “It’s a great family book-read a couple of chapters a night as a family until you make your way through the book,” said Princi-pal Thompson. “It will definitely open up some conversations in your home that perhaps wouldn’t have been had otherwise. Then, once you’ve read the entire book-you can watch the movie!”
Elementary School Reading Chal-lenge
Even though school looks a little different this spring, students at Plainview Public Schools continue to read. The elementary schools’ new reading challenge asks students to read 30 minutes a day, five days a week. If students do that, they will get a prize and get their name on
the school’s reading wall. After two weeks, the reading wall
if full. “I am unbelievably proud of the students at Plainview Elementary,” said Principal Thompson. “They are taking this challenge and running with it.”
Reading for 30 minutes a day isn’t long enough for some students. Principal Thompson said a parent of one of the elementary students told her that her daughter added her own 20 minutes of reading time. So, the student is reading 50 minutes each day. “In a situation like the one we are in, sometimes the best es-cape is a good book,” said Principal Thompson.
Principal Thompson asks that parents keep in mind that their stu-dents can continue checking out li-brary books. Parents can simply contact their child’s teacher and let them know which books (or subject matter) their child is looking for and the teachers will work with Mrs. Wagner and Mrs. Yilk to get books to students.

New COVID-19 case in Antelope CountyFrom the NCDHD Saturday, April 25
North Central District Health
Department (NCDHD) was made aware of a positive COVID-19 case in Antelope County.
North Central District Health Department initiated contact in-vestigations and was able to quickly determine this case is not due to community spread. It has been identified that this case is due to close contact with an indi-vidual who has tested positive with COVID-19 that is not in the NCDHD district. The case has been
in self-isolation at home since the onset of symptoms and continues to remain at home in self-isolation. At this time, the risk to the public remains low due to the diligence and self-awareness of symptoms and prompt action of the case to self-isolate.
To protect yourself from COVID-19 during these times con-tinue to cover your cough with a tissue and throw it away, or a bent elbow. Wash your hands with soap and water frequently. Practice so-cial distancing by staying home, but if you need to go out, remain six feet from others.
Principal Heather Thompson and first-grade teacher Whitney White.

Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press . . . – The First Amendment
Blame Game It’s always interesting to see where the blame finally lands for
things. This pandemic has had quite a bit of blame floating around for a long time.
Blame China, blame animals, blame China, blame leaders, blame Italy, blame airplanes, blame public gatherings and funerals, blame leaders, blame the President, blame a few Prime Ministers and then come full circle back to just blame yourself for not wearing a mask.
Well I’ll tell you who I can blame. I blame my wife and kids. You heard me - they’re the ones that love having animals, and
that’s how I got roped into having to drain and clean a stupid bump off our newest calf the other day.
You thought I was going pandemic again, didn’t you? So this calf, seemingly living a normal life, then comes to our
house and has this huge swelled up nasty bump on her poor lit-tle cute face, that then takes three of us to drain every other day.
I’ve had a few run-ins with veterinarians in my day at the “Lazy Chicken Ranch” but I can tell you - nothing beats having to work on a pig. It just about breaks your heart to work on a three week old calf though.
Don’t kid yourself, I tackled her and sat on her ribs like she was 1,000 pounds, but we always at least give the home veterinarian kit a good college try.
Did you know that you could buy carbon steel, surgically ster-ile scapels at a local store for $3.95. I mean seriously. I bought three. You never know when you’re going to need one.
Long story short, there is a lot of nasty stuff that can reside in-side a little calf’s face when she puts her mind to it. I’m just glad - in all seriousness - we have some really great veterinarians around here that aren’t scared to get their pinky fingers incredibly dirty and gross by scrubbing around to clean out what I can only imag-ine was some sort of horrible abcess.
The calf feels great, looks great, and I’m sure will taste just fine.

JANE OF ALL TRADESAmy Dummer
BOSS OF SAID BOSSApril Curtiss
By: Dr. Darron Arlt PHS Superintendent
One of the more overused clichés
of these past couple months has been “The New Normal”. I think we all understand what that means.
Things will never be the same. What we had taken for granted in
how we went about our daily routines will now have to be ad-justed. We’ll have to do some things differ-ently. At first it will seem like an inconvenience but eventually
we’ll wiggle into the best way to do everything we did before the mid-dle of March. It is times like these, when we are forced to rethink how we do things, when our creative brains rev up and we come up with new ideas that make us wonder why we didn’t do it this way all the time. That is what I expect in the field of education.
I am certainly an advocate for getting back to the routine of school. I know many of our kids, more than will admit, wish we were back into the “old normal” of school.
Schedules, bells, processes, rules, homework, practices, activities, rights of passages, etc. So many par-ents have shared with me that their children miss school, and that in-cludes parents of high school stu-dents.
I think 100% of our teachers long for the traditional model of teaching and learning. The warm early sum-mer weather has thrown an ironic cold blanket on the initial “packet and e-learning” enthusiasm. What I do know is that most all of our teachers will do some things differ-ently when we do get back to the routines of teaching and learning. No doubt there will be more tech-nology and e-learning involved in a new “blended” style of information delivery by teachers and digital demonstration of knowledge by students. This isn’t a dramatically new concept but these past couple months have “inspired” some more traditional teachers to consider some new ways of doing things.
What generally gets a school through the last several weeks are the end of year activities and cele-brations. Those events keep the positive energy and enthusiasm high. We’re missing that this year. Like all schools, we are trying to be creative in how we recognize and celebrate accomplishments this year.
Our focus is understandably on our seniors. Superintendents and school officials across the state are making local decisions about what Prom, Honors Night, and Graduation can look like and when. There is no shortage of creative celebrations and recognitions being posted on social media.
We may not go viral with what our students and administrative team are trying to plan, but we will at some point and time within the scope of the “rules,” bring appropri-ate closure to this school year and honor to the Class of 2020.
Our governor, education com-missioner, and regional health de-partment are all advising schools on what they can and cannot do. We have been told quite directly that any planned event that does not comply with the governor’s DHMs (Directed Health Measures) or vio-lates the “spirit” of the directives, will jeopardize a schools’ accreditation.
This has cooled our enthusiasm for planning any celebrations until we are given explicit permission with specific guidance to do so. So, patience is still needed. There are lessons in all of this, many of which might not be recognized for years. One lesson I know for sure; a respect and appreciation for the “old normal” of living life.

By now, all registered voters in Nebraska should have had the op-
portunity to fill out an application for an early (absentee) ballot. That application should be mailed to your county’s Election Com-
missioner, which for most folks reading this will be your County Clerk. Once you have your ballot, please be sure that it is received by your county offices by the 12th. I’d like to take this opportunity to encourage all of you reading to exercise your constitutional right to vote. I won’t use this space to advocate for any particular candidate, as our local pa-pers afford me these column inches not as a candidate, but in my ca-pacity as a public official.
However, I will remind you that voting is the best way to change the way your government is working for you. With that in mind, be sure to read up on the candidates on your local ballot, find out where they stand on the issues that matter to you, and always vote your conscience.
Also coming up are some relaxations of the Directed Health Meas-ures which have been in place for us for several weeks now.
All nine of the counties I represent (Antelope, Boone, Garfield, Gree-ley, Howard, Pierce, Sherman, Valley, and Wheeler) are included in the counties which will see eased restrictions on May 4th. Among the busi-nesses which will be allowed to see patrons, with various restrictions, are restaurants, beauty and hair care salons, barbershops, massage ther-apists, and tattoo shops.
There will still be requirements regarding social distancing, the use of masks, restaurant capacity, and daycare groups, for instance, among others. But this is very good news for many of the small businesses in our community which have been struggling to keep their heads above water for several weeks now.
Along with voting, I would encourage you to do your duty for your community, and support our local businesses in any way that you can, if your family has the financial means to do so.
As always, I am interested in hearing from you on state-level issues that matter to you. You can email me at [email protected] and you can call my office at (402)471-2631. Someone is only in the office a few hours a week while stricter measures are still in place in Lincoln, but my staff and I check the voicemail several times a day, so please leave a message if you call and we will get back to you.

• Sigurd the Mighty, a ninth-century Norse earl of Orkney, was killed by an enemy he had beheaded several hours earlier. He’d tied the man’s head to his horse’s saddle, but while riding home one of its protruding teeth grazed his leg, causing an infection from which the unlucky Sigurd died.
• Irish author and politician Edmund Burke was not a skilled public speak-er. In fact, his speeches at the House of Commons were so boring, many MPs left the building once he stood up.
• In 1907, an ad campaign for Kel-logg’s Corn Flakes offered a free box of cereal to any woman who would wink at her grocer.
• While Jackie Robinson was laid up for two weeks in 1948 with a ham-string injury, the Dodgers secretly replaced him with Herschel Morowitz, a white man in black face.
• The average human body contains enough iron to make a 3-inch-long nail. It also contains enough fat to pro-duce seven bars of soap.
• The first washing machine was invented in 1782 by H. Sidgier of Great Britain. His design was later honed by other inventors, including William Blackstone, who invented the first at-home washer as a birthday gift for his wife.
• Drinking seawater will cause rap-id dehydration and, if enough is con-sumed, eventually death. Frozen sea-water is a much safer alternative, since it contains only a tenth as much salt as the liquid form, due to the fact that the salt is separated from the water when freezing as it does not fit into the crys-talline structure of ice.
• The first lipstick appeared in ancient Mesopotamia approximately 4,000 years ago, when women deco-rated their lips with dust made from precious gems.

Donald J. Walton, 94 A private family funeral service for Donald J. Walton, formerly of Plain-
view, will be held at 11:00 a.m., Thursday, April 30 at the United Methodist Church, in Plainview.
Reverend Mark Crist will be officiating. Viewing will be from 9-10 a.m., Thursday, April 30th at the United Methodist Church.
Burial will follow at Pleasant View Cemetery in Plainview. Due to Covid-19, there will be strict guidelines of no more than 10
people at a time for the viewing and funeral. There-fore, there will be an option to attend the service on-line via video at Facebook on the Crawford Valley Plainview United Methodist Church Page.
Donald J. Walton, loving husband of 75 years and father of four children, was born on May 22, 1925 in Winnetoon, to Floyd and Adeline (Janna) Walton, and he passed away at the age of 94, Sunday, April 26th, 2020 of Covid-19 at Good Samaritan Village, in Sioux Falls, S.D.
He graduated from Winnetoon High School in 1943.
On March 29, 1945 he married Ruby Ickler in Creighton. The Waltons lived and farmed south of Plainview and raised four chil-
dren, Donnie, Susan, Judy, and Gary. In 1978, they moved their home to Plainview, but he continued to farm south of town.
In 2014, they moved to Sioux Falls, S.D., where their daughter, Judy, could help care for them.
Walton was a farmer, school bus driver, Archer oil and Cargill seed salesman for many years. He was an active volunteer in the Plainview Social Center. He also enjoyed horseback riding and teaching all his chil-dren and grandchildren how to ride. He donated blood religiously, and he could switch seamlessly from a rowdy school bus, to a tiny Volkswa-gen Beetle, or back to a horse, and enjoy every minute of every ride.
The most important job to him though, was likely being the best hus-band, brother, father, grandfather, and friend. Walton was the true epit-ome of the word patriarch. Head of the Walton family, he took this role seriously, trusting in God, protecting his flock, working hard both stead-fast and selflessly in everything, being kind and humble towards others and loving everyone unconditionally. The family remembered him with: “to know Don was to love him, respect him, appreciate him, and be bet-ter yourself, because of him.”
He was a faithful member of Stark Valley Methodist Church until its end. At that time, he became a member of the United Methodist Church in Plainview.
Walton was always one of the first ones to help any neighbor or friend that needed help. He was a teacher of all things farming, espe-cially to his grandsons: Tim, Shane and Brad, who helped him many sum-mers on the farm.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Floyd and Adeline, broth-ers, Loren, Ivan, and Merlyn, daughter Susan, grandson Timothy Thomp-son, son-in-law Grayling Andersen, and daughter-in-law Cathy Walton.
Donald J. Walton is survived by his wife, Ruby, of 75 years; three chil-dren: son, Don, and his wife, Jean, of Asheville, N.C.; daughter, Judy, and husband, Gary of Sioux Falls, S.D. and son, Gary and his wife, Charity of Rapid City, S.D.; nine grandchildren: Angie and Mark Gleason of West-field, Ind., Michelle and Darren Cady of Arden, N.C., Shane and Karen An-dersen of Brookings, S.D., Shari and Mary Anderson-Connor of Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., Melissa and Scott Plemmons of Waxhaw, N.C., Cindy and Rick Watson of Fort Worth, Texas, Brandon Walton of Rapid City, S.D., and Brad and Brenda Walton of Bogota, Colombia; 18 great grandchil-dren, two great-great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, any donations would be welcome to the Plainview Social Center or the Plainview United Methodist Church.
Thomas J. Pofahl, 67 Due to Covid-19, a private service for Thomas J. Pofahl of Plainview
will be held on Friday, April 24th at Levander Funeral Home in Elgin. A celebration of life will be held on a later date for extended friends
and family. Thomas Joseph Pofahl was born in O’Neill, to Martin and Joan Pofahl
on December 29, 1952, the eldest son of eight children, and he passed away peacefully at his home in Plainview with his family on Monday, April 20th.
He grew up on the family ranch in Deloit, Nebraska where he also attended elementary school, just two miles from the family ranch, and Ewing Public High School.
Pofahl started boxing at the age of 10, coached by his father and uncles, going on to secure the legacy of the “punching Pofahls.”
He founded the Clearwater boxing club and coached from the mid 1980s-2000, mentoring youth throughout his memorable career. In 1994, he was named the Golden Gloves Coach of the Year in Nor-
folk. During his coaching years, he coached in the Junior Olympics Pro-gram and was given the honor of coaching the U.S. Junior Olympics team in Detroit, Michigan and in Syracuse, New York.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents: Louis and Edith Po-fahl and Leo and Mary Ellen Lydon; his parents, Martin and Joan Pofahl and two infant sisters, Theresa and Shannon.
Thomas J. Pofahl is survived by his companion, Deborah Benedict and their dog, Cash; his children, Travis (Sara) of Greeley, Colorado; Adam of Elgin and Ashley (Sheldon) of Erie, Colorado, grandchildren Telsa Po-fahl of Greeley, Colorado, and Tenley and Lane Pofahl of Elgin; as well as his siblings, Peg (Kurt) Hanlin of Elgin; Lee (Debb) Pofahl of Neligh, Shel-lie (Wayne) of Clinton, Montana; Pat (Sheri) Pofahl of Lincoln; and Nicole (Andy) Wilkinson of McCool Junction, as well as aunts, uncles and nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to the family for later des-ignation. You may call or email the funeral home for family contact in-formation.

A student at Northeast Com-munity College has earned na-tional recognition. Tait Ziems has been named a 2020 New Century Workforce Pathway Scholar by the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honor Soci-ety.
Ziems, of Plainview, is an auto-motive technology major at Northeast. In addition to be named a New Century Workforce Pathway Scholar, he will receive a $1,250 scholarship.
The scholarship is the first of its kind to support students at asso-ciate degree-granting institutions on a national scale as they plan to enter the workforce upon the completion of a degree or certifi-cate. The program is sponsored by The Coca-Cola Foundation and Phi Theta Kappa.
“We believe education holds an extraordinary promise to change lives,” said Helen Smith Price, pres-ident, The Coca-Cola Foundation. “We hope that providing these college scholarships to deserving students will enable them to real-ize their full and unique poten-tial.”
New Century Workforce Path-way Scholars are selected based on their academic accomplish-ments, leadership, activities, and
how they extend their intellectual talents beyond the classroom. Over 2,200 students were nomi-nated from more than 1,200 col-lege campuses across the country. Only one New Century Workforce Scholar has been selected from each state.
“We congratulate Tait for re-ceiving this prestigious scholar-ship, and we are honored to partner with The Coca-Cola Foun-dation to recognize his outstand-ing achievements,” said Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner, Phi Theta Kappa president and CEO. “Scholarship programs like this are integral for creating opportunities for stu-dents to succeed as they prepare to enter the workforce and for putting college completion within reach.”
This is the second consecutive year a Northeast Community Col-lege student has been named a New Century Workforce Pathway Scholar. Preston Dickau, of Atkin-son, earned the designation in 2019. He graduated in May 2019, with a degree in auto body repair technology.
This year’s recipients will be recognized during the Association of Community College Trustees’ Congress in Chicago in October.

NENE All stars football game cancelled
The 8th Annual Northeast Ne-braska All-Star Football Classic has been canceled because of uncer-tainties due to COVID-19 Pan-demic, according to Mike Sunderman, President of the Clas-sic’s Board of Directors. Next year’s game will be scheduled for June 2021.
The game was to be held on Saturday, June 13th, 2020 at Vet-eran’s Memorial Field in Norfolk.
Sunderman said in a statement, “This decision by the board did not come lightly, but it did be-
come apparent that the reality ofhaving the game was not in thecards this year. Postponing thedate was not a viable option as lo-gistically, with the number of peo-ple, businesses, and sites involved, as well as finding a suitable dategiven the unknowns of the virusmade that very difficult. We feelvery badly for the players, coaches, and their families that will not getto experience this lifetime event,but we feel it is the right decisionat this time. “

Heart & Crown ChairSeveral rare “Heart and Crown” side
chairs were sold at a Skinner auction in Massachusetts. The high-back chair featuring molded bannisters, turned legs and a rush seat is part of an old tra-dition. Furniture makers in Connecticut created this style and used it from about
1740 to 1770. It was an interpretation of the expensive Philadelphia and Boston chairs made at the time. Instead of the curved crest of the formal city chairs, the top of the back was made with a cut-out heart and a crown-shaped crest. Almost all of the Heart and Crown chairs were painted black or dark brown, and all had the rush seat. An auctioned chair, 44 3/4 inches high and attributed to Andrew Durand of Milford, Connecticut, is painted black and has the characteris-tic banisters and turnings. It auctioned several years ago for $9,000, which was three times the estimate.

Q: I have a two-bladed pocket knife I think is quite old. It’s
marked “Solingen, Germany” on one side of the blade and “Arnex, stainless” on the other side. Both side panels are embossed with three
heads of racehorses, horseshoes and riding crops. My late wife worked for a horse farm owner who gave it to her for me. Is it worth keeping?
A: Solingen, Germany, is known as the “City of Blades.” It has been
the center of knife-making in Germa-ny since the Middle Ages and home to several manufacturers of knives, swords and cutlery. Arnex was in busi-ness in Solingen from about 1920 to 1940. Some pocket knives made by Arnex have handles decorated with animals, sports, trains, zeppelins and other themes. The value of your pocket knife is under $25.
***
Q: I have a tall, white pitcher with daisies painted on it and
gold trim. It’s marked “Bel-Terr China, U.S.A., 22 Kt. Gold.” I’d like to sell it. What is it worth?
A: Bel-Terr China was founded in 1961 by Belden and Terry Ham
in East Palestine, Ohio. The compa-ny is no longer in business. Bel-Terr pitchers, about 8 inches tall, sell for under $20.
***CURRENT PRICES

FCCLA was to hold their annual
Family Night Awards Recogni-tion/Officer Installation April 23 at the High School Media Center.
The evening was to begin with a welcome by President Jessica Booth and followed with a dessert reception. A slide show of the year’s activities was to be viewed during the reception. Booth was to begin the program with the opening ceremony followed with the Year in Review by Marque Albin and Abby White.
Destiny Rickard would have shared information about the Fall Leadership Conference the chap-ter officers attended. Next, Devon Tunender and Brooklyn Kumm would have shared information about the District Leadership Con-ference the entire chapter at-tended. Baili Prewitt and Shayla Jacobsen spoke on the events of the State Leadership Conference which next year’s officers would have attended along with STAR Competitors Becca Kemnt, Alexa Meyer, Caroline Akkinigbagbe, Destiny Rickard, Roni Prewit, and Shayla Jacobsen.
Brooklyn Kumm would then have presented the STEP One Cer-tificates to Shayla Jacobsen, Baili
Prewitt, Roni Prewitt, Katie Mauer Aiden Petersen, Brooklyn Kumm, Xavier Barron, Ashton Dane, and Ayden Stewart for their work in learning more about FCCLA and its purposes and programs.
Students competing in STAR events would then have received their STAR Competition Certifi-cates by Logan Jacobsen. Receiv-ing certificates would have been Becca Kemnt, Alexa Meyer, and Caroline Akkinigbagbe in Food In-novation receiving a gold medal at districts and moving on to state where they also received a gold medal; Shayla Jacobsen in Repur-pose Redesign receiving a gold medal at districts and moved on to state where she also received a gold medal; Roni Prewitt in Focus on Children where she received a silver medal at districts and moved on to state where she also received a silver medal; Destiny Rickard and Crystal Hintz in Job In-terview both receiving silver medals at districts with Rickard moving on to the state competi-tion and receiving a silver medal at state; Rickard and Hintz also competed in Career Investigation at districts and received silver medals there.
Leighton Medina and Roni Pre-witt would have presented the
Power of One Awards. Four individuals completed
projects this year. Receiving certificates for com-
pleting modules were Shayla Ja-cobsen -Family Ties Module, Logan Jacobsen- A Better You Module, and Crystal Hintz -Work-ing on Working Module. Destiny Rickard completed the Working on Working, A Better You, Take the Lead, Working on Working and Families Ties Modules and was then recognized for completing all 5 modules. She received a cer-tificate and plaque from the chap-ter and was presented the certificate she had received from the state recognition. She will also be recognized at the National FCCLA Conference, which will be a virtual conference, this summer in Washington D.C. for this accom-plishment.
Adviser Ronita Jacobsen and District Officer Abby White also presented outstanding member awards.
This year three members met the criteria for “Outstanding Mem-ber of the Year”. Destiny Rickard, Crystal Hintz, and Shayla Jacobsen were to be presented with their trophies. For her outstanding ef-forts throughout her years in FCCLA and meeting specific crite-
ria set forth in the bylaws, Destiny Rickard was to be presented with an FCCLA Honor Cord to wear at graduation.
