ICC has funds for retraining unemployed farmers Illinois Central College has recently received a grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs providing money to retrain people unemployed because of the poor Illinois farm economy. Those eligible include the farmer, farmer's spouse, hired farm employees, and adult children of the farmer who earn at least 50 percent of their income from farm-related employment.

To be eligible for the program, the farmer must have a greater debt-to-asset ratio, making continued farming unproductive, or have been foreclosed recently. Through the grant, free classroom retraining programs and job search assistance are available at Illinois Central College for people qualifying for this program. People living in Peoria, Tazewell, Woodford, Marshall, Stark, McLean; and Mason counties are eligible for this program. For additional information, call the Illinois Central College Dislocated Worker Program, 694-5548.

He discussed the care of the tree with the students and two students, Mandy Schwenk and Derek Roth, stepped forward to help him plant it. Goodfield plants tree for Arbor Day Money allocated to summer youth employment programs Governor James R. Thompson announced that nearly $40 million will be allocated throughout the State for the Job Training Partnership Act Program's (JTPA) Summer Youth Employment and Training Program. "The money is being forwarded to the 26 Service Delivery Areas (SDA) to help disadvantaged youths between the ages of 14 and 21 find summer jobs that will give them experience in the labor market. All funds received by the State for this JTPA program are passed through to local agencies to assure that as many people as possible have an opportunity to participate," said Thompson.

The Summer Youth Employment and Training Program operates from May through September. Most participants will get summer work. All participants will have the opportunity to gain labor market information, job seeking skills, resume development, interviewing techniques and basic information on work behavior and attitudes. Participants are paid wages for the time spent working. The local agency for Woodford County is: The Private Industry Council, 672-8513.

and that he would look after it in the summer. The planting of this tree starts a new unit about trees in the Learning Center. The students will discuss why trees are important.

The students in the Learning Center are: Ryan Wolland, Tim Blunier, Josh Gladson, Stacy Hinrichsen, Michelle Steele, Jennifer Haas, Jeremy Morris, Matt Koeppel, Matthew Wiegand, Mandy Schwenk, and Derek Roth. I love to plant a growing thing A tree, a shrub, a vine And know it will for years and years Keep growing there, a sign To children who come after me That someone thought of them, And left behind a living friend More precious than a gem. Betty Foust Smith Then George Selvey discussed caring for the tree and told the students they must take care of the tree while they are in school Arbor Day was celebrated at Goodfield School when all the students came outside to watch and help plant a small pine tree last week. Students from the Learning Center started the celebration by reading "Arbor Day" aloud to all the other students. Each child in the Learning Center read a few lines.

ARBOR DAY "Tree Planting Day" they called it in Nebraska long ago. Now we call it Arbor Day, and Oh, I love it so!
