Parkview hosted the Blackhawk/South Central Regional Destination Imagination Tournament on Saturday, March 23 at the Parkview JR/SR High. Forty-two teams from 13 different schools took part in the tournament.

Parkview had seven teams competing in the tournament. Six of the teams placed fi rst or second at this tournament and earned a trip to the State Tour-nament at the UW-Green Bay campus on April 13. The seventh team was a Rising Stars team which is for younger students to learn about DI and take part in a non-competitive challenge at the regional level.

Teams are coached by either parents or Parkview teachers. There are four levels of teams at Parkview, Rising Stars (4k-2) Elementary Level, Intermedi-ate Level which is junior high/middle school students, and Secondary Level which is high school students.

The youngest team is Beautiful Blue Unicorn Dragons, the Rising Stars team coached by Agnes and Tony Jackson. Some of the team members are new to DI and some were on a Rising Stars team last year. The Rising Stars all do the same challenge while the older groups choose from the other six challenges. Team members are: Brianna Bennett, Owen Steinke, Teslyn Wendt and Lily Beal, Ava Landis, Dalton Blazier, Adele Zrout, Braylon Victor and Taytum Oswald.

The Hot and Spicy Bucket o’Donuts is one of the two elementary level teams. They are coached my Nikki Lutzke and are doing the scientifi c chal-lenge. The entire team is fi fth graders and some of them have been in DI for several years. Team members are: Robert Ellis, Athena Condon, Chloe Cleasby, Grace Krajeck, Sahara Boers-Augustine, Catie Treinen and Milo Jackson.

Another elementary level team is The Six Gold Coins. The team is coached

by Laurie Jordan. They are doing the Improvisational challenge. Team mem-bers are: Davis Borntreger, Cassius McMahon, Beldon Moran, Sheri Mont-gomery and Amelia Luttig.

The fi nal elementary team is It’s Paws-ible coached by Sandy Van Tassel. They are doing the community service project. Team members are: Aubri-anna Paul, Annalaura Pester, Ayla Myhre, Amaya Boers-Augustine, Sophie Valley Lacy Blazier and Zoie Resch.

The Crocs without Socks is a middle level team coached by Darcy To-berman and Laurie Valley. The team is doing the scientifi c challenge. All of the team members have been on the same DI team for several years. Team members are: Paige Valley, Brooklyn Carratt, Henry Krajeck, Gabriella Men-dez, Ethan Diddens and Will Toberman.

MMAJICC (pronounced magic) is another middle level team; they are coached by Sarah Bleicher. The team name is the fi rst letter of all of the team members put together. This team is doing the improvisational challenge. Team members are: Malachi Wendt, Michael Sanders, Allison Johnson, Jus-tin Granberg, Ian Soderstrom, Cole McMahon and Collin Borntreger.

The last team is a secondary team, Parkview Breakouts coached by An-drea Marcellus. The team has been together for several years with the excep-tion of one member. The new member is actually one of Parkview’s original DI team members who has taken a couple years off and wanted to partici-pate one more time (Bella, who is a senior this year) so she joined the team that her mother has coached for several years. This team is doing the techni-cal challenge. Team members are: Olivia Marcellus, Emily Kjelland, Bryson Kjelland and Brooke Boyd; back, left to right: Sarah Task, Jenna Hume and Bella Marcellus.

Trinity Lutheran offers CSA

Subscriptions While all are waiting for warmer weather, leaders at Trinity Lu-theran Church are busy planning their summer garden and are now accepting applications for people to purchase a subscription to their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. CSAs are a popu-lar garden-to-consumer program that encourages people to support farmers by purchasing a weekly box of produce. Trinity is offer-ing a CSA as part of their efforts to raise money to fund their small food pantry in Durand and to fi -nancially support the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America World Hunger program. Members of Trinity Lutheran Church have always had a passion for their ministry to provide nutri-tious food to people, especially those who are experiencing food scarcity. This garden is one more way Trinity can continue their work by providing consumers with fresh produce right out of the gar-den while at the same time raising money to fi ll the small food pantry during the winter months. Applications and further informa-tion about Trinity’s CSA program are available on their website www.trinitydurand.com or by stopping by the church offi ce. The CSA program runs for 18 weeks beginning June 9, 2019 and ending October 6, 2019. Weekly pick-up will be on Sundays at the church (15585 Durand Rd. Durand, IL) from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The number of subscriptions is limited, so people are encouraged to complete their form quickly.

If you are a Lutheran, your religion was founded by Martin Luther, an ex-monk of the Catholic Church, in the year 1517. If you belong to the Church of England, your religion was founded by King Henry VIII in the year 1534 because the Pope would not grant him a divorce with the right to re-marry. If you are a Presbyterian, your religion was founded by John Knox in Scotland in the year 1560. If you are a Congregationalist, your religion was originated by Robert Brown in Holland in 1582. If you are Protestant Episcopalian, your religion was an offshoot of the Church of England, founded by Samuel Senbury in the American colonies in the 17th century. If you are a Baptist, you owe the tenets of your religion to John Smyth, who launched it in Amsterdam in 1606. If you are of the Dutch Reformed Church, you recognize Michelis Jones as founder because he originated your religion in New York in 1628. If you are a Methodist, your religion was founded by John and Charles Wesley in England in 1774. If you are a Mormon (Latter Day Saints), Joseph Smith started your religion in Palmyra, New York, in 1829. If you worship with the Salvation Army, your sect began with William Booth in London in 1865. If you are Christian Scientist, you look to 1879 as the year in which your religion was born and to Mary Baker Eddy as its founder. If you belong to one of the religious organizations known as “Church of the Nazarene, Pentecostal Gospel,” “Holiness Church,” or “Jehovah’s Witnesses,” your religion is one of the hundreds of new sects founded by men within the past hundred years. If you are Roman Catholic, your church shared the same rich apostolic and doctrinal heritage as the Orthodox Church for the first thousand years of its history, since during the first millennium they were one and the same Church. Lamentably, in 1054, the Pope of Rome broke away from the other four Apostolic Patriarchates (which include Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem), by tampering with the Original Creed of the Church, and considered himself to be infallible. Thus your church is 1,000 years old. If you are an Orthodox Christian, your religion was founded in the year 33 by Jesus Christ, the Son of God. It has not changed since that time. Orthodox is now almost 2,000 years old. And it is for this reason, that Orthodoxy, the Church of the Apostles and the Fathers is considered the true “one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.

Pictured are all Clinton and Parkview team members for the co-ed basketball game.

On Friday, March 8 the Parkview and Clinton student councils com-bined to raise money for the Leu-kemia and Lymphoma Society, by holding a “Ballin’ for a Cure” coed basketball game. The event was held at the Clinton High School. It featured a 5 quarter co-ed basket-ball game and games and activi-ties between each quarter. There were also concessions, a bounce house and face painting available throughout the event.

Many of Parkview’s girls and boys basketball team members took part along with many other students for a fun game that raised money for a good cause. Activities between quarters included a little kids basketball game with the kids having the option of using the regu-

Funds raised for Leukemia and Lymphoma Societylar basket or a kid’s plastic basket-ball hoop. There was a tic-tac-toe game where the player had to make

a basket and then run their game piece out to the board, a toss the hula hoop around a person game, a

half court free throw contest, and a tug of war between teams.

Both teams played a fun, some-

what non-competitive game and had a great time helping a good cause.

By Paul Roemer2019 marks the 50th year since

the fi rst tree plantings were done in the Brodhead School Arbore-tum. In 1982 the Arboretum was re-named the “M.J. Blackford Brod-head School Arboretum” after Miss Marjorie J. Blackford, a Brodhead fi fth grade teacher who assisted fi fth graders with newspaper drives, science fairs, bake sales, card sales, and candy sales to raise money to purchase trees for the Arboretum. Miss Blackford also organized tree plantings and fi fth grade “Bucket Brigades” (see picture) to haul wa-ter from the elementary school to the Arboretum to keep the young trees alive.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTIONBy Michele Benesh, Brodhead

I have been asking myself the same question for several years now, and am getting no closer to the answer. This is the question: Why are some peo-ple opposed to everything others are doing to try to improve things in the community? A related question would be: What would the motive be for citi-zens to give up hundreds of hours for no pay and no ultimate reward except the knowledge that they had succeeded in improving the quality of life for the residents of the community? What else would possibly be in it for them?

Now that the Senior/Community Center has been torpedoed, I wonder how satisfi ed the small group is that opposed it all along the way, despite the overwhelming consensus of the community at large that it was a very impor-tant priority. I wonder why a small group of people would fi ght so hard to pre-vent something that would add so much to the economy and quality of life in our town. I wonder why they fought so hard against a project that may have made the difference between Brodhead fi nally getting a motel and not getting one. I wonder where the personal attacks and venom aimed at public servants comes from. This group seems to be against anything that moves the commu-nity forward, even attacking the Pearl Island initiative, which has already been bringing people to Brodhead. They rail against the covered bridge to be built in Putnam Park, even though it involves not one cent of taxpayer money.

I wonder why a guy who grew up in Brodhead, now resides in Phoenix, and came back to invest a large amount of money and effort in a facility that brings people to town, is being attacked because he is constantly pro-moting Brodhead in every way that he can.

For seven years I wrote a weekly environmental column for the Brod-head Free Press. I invested hundreds of hours researching and then writ-ing about things that we could all do to help protect our planet. I received no pay—my only objective was to try to make things better for us and for generations to come. Even though I received numerous phone calls and letters thanking me for these columns, the thing I remember most is the hateful and sarcastic letters to the editor discounting things that I had writ-ten and calling me a liar and a hypocrite.

If people could expend as much energy working for good rather than obstructing it, it seems to be that everything would go much better.

Miss Blackford is with her “Bucket Brigade” in 1972.
