Local Scouts from Troop 127 & Pack 127 build and hang up several Solitary Bee Houses around Beardstown.
Solitary Bees are native to North America unlike the European Honey bees who are famous for producing honey and living in hives. Solitary bees are responsible for one third of our food supply, but their habitats are increasingly coming under threat. Scouting’s Outdoor Code calls Scouts to be conservation minded. Beardstown Scouts put this code into action Sunday afternoon to help our local bee populations thrive.
It’s pretty sad when someone or maybe more than one person, had to vandalize and tear up the Kiwanis Park on the west end of Beardstown..
Two weeks ago, the Beardstown Kiwanis Club mended, cleaned and added to the park where youngsters enjoy playing ball and other activities.
A Zoning Ordinance that was to amend various provisions to better define accessory uses and building structures was not approved.
At Beardstown’s City Council meeting on May 21st, after much discussion and voiced concerns from local citizens, the council voted against the ordinance.
With students about to go on summer break, the A-C Central School Board looked into and approved a number of building repair and improvement projects to be completed before students return in the fall.
For Ashland, the board accepted a bid for flooring work in the restrooms. The bid from Lamar Hager Construction was for $34,000 but the board put a spending ceiling of $49,999 in order to get the most funding the district could out of a matching grant to cover the project cost.
A-C Central’s 8th Grade student of the month for April is Preston Carwile. Preston is the son of Kevin and Ronica Carwile. Preston is described by his teachers as polite, kind, and always helpful, both to kids and staff. He stands up for things he sees wrong and looks out for and helps the younger kids. Preston is nice to everyone and never complains about anything. He works hard and always lends a helping hand. He has a quiet demeanor and a smile for everyone. Preston is an inspiration to his peers and his teachers.
