WTVP Ch 47 At Issue

on school funding

Elmwood Superintendent will be a panel member

Hello everyone,
I wanted to let you know that yesterday (Tuesday), I had the opportunity to be part of a panel discussing school finance on WTVP for H. Wayne Wilson's show called "At Issue".  It will air tomorrow (Thursday) at 8:30pm and Sunday at 4:30pm if you are interested.  The panel was Dr. Brookhart (Peoria County Supt.), Dr. Sam Light (Illini Bluffs), and Ann Chandler (supt. of DePue), and myself.  I felt the discussion got off track to a degree, but important nonetheless in getting the word out there about our fiscal situation.  I had every intention of promoting our employee's willingness to take a wage freeze, but I could not work it into my answers to questions that were posed.  I did mention it during the preparation time in the "green room."  Anyway, feel free to view the program when it airs.  Dr. Alvey

True outdoor show returns to the Peoria area

Elmwood All Outdoors Show

March 6-7 in Elmwood IL 61529

ELMWOOD – An Easy Drive from Illinois, Iowa, or Indiana

Hunters and anglers will be happy to learn a true outdoors show is returning to the Peoria-Canton-Galesburg area on March 6-7. The focus of the Elmwood AllOutdoors Show is fishing, hunting and the great outdoors. This new event will be held in Elmwood High School on Saturday, March 6 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and Sunday, March 7 (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.). Admission is $5 for adults and free for youngsters 13 and under. Parking is free. Food and drink will be sold.

More than 90 booths are expected and will feature a wide variety of outdoors-related products and services. Visit www.elmwoodalloutdoors.com to see an updated list of vendors. In addition to those fine vendors, other highlights of the show include:

A Big Buck Contest. For $10 hunters get two show passes and can have their trophy bucks measured by certified Boone and Crockett Club and Pope and Young Club measurers. Deer will be displayed and five top entries will win plaques. There will also be a random drawing for prizes among all who enter deer. So you don’t need the biggest buck to go home a winner.

For $3 kids get 5 minutes of fun fishing for trout, giant blue catfish sunfish and other species. If you catch a trout we will clean and vacuum pack the fish so you can take it home for dinner for an additional $2. Prizes will also be awarded for top catches.
