The Village will be selling rock during the month of April. The cost is $34.50 per 1 ½ tons. Rock must be paid for prior to delivery.

Currently, yard waste will be accepted on the first Saturday of each month at the Wells. The Wells are located in Morgan County. Take Highway 123 to Creed Road, turn right and then right again at the red fence. There is a long lane and at the end are the Wells. If you are in possession of a stray dog, please call the county sheriff’s office (217/452-7718) and ask them to contact Jim Birdsell. If you see a street light out, call the Village office (217/476-3317) and we will contact Ameren CIPS for repair.

PORTA student capacity: ~1,400. Student population in a consolidated school district: ~1,500. The Chandlerville facility would almost certainly close immediately!
PORTA student capacity: ~1,400. Five-year projection for student population in a consolidated school district: ~1,375. How long do you think the Ashland facility will remain open in this economy?
Without local schools, what chance do our communities have to attract new people? What happens to community spirit, home values, and business services?
A-C Central population: ~2,900. PORTA population: ~6,900. Which community do you think will control the curriculum, spending, and policy in a consolidated school district?
What happens to 75 A-C Central jobs and $5.5 million in locally controlled funds?
Schools may consolidate to resolve academic issues. Why consolidate when our high school just received national recognition from U.S. News & World Report?
Schools may consolidate to resolve financial issues. Why consolidate when the Illinois State Board of Education gave A-C Central Financial Recognition status and PORTA Financial Early Warning status?
Why are most members of the current school board so insistent on pursuing consolidation? First Virginia, now PORTA. Who’s next? Why be so quick to give up local control, less bureaucracy, shorter bus trips, and smaller class sizes?

"WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD"
The 8th graders from A-C Central Mid-
dle School attended the “Welcome to
the Real World” event on Tuesday,
March 19th, 2013 in Jacksonville. The
event, organized by the University of
Illinois Extension Office, is designed to
help students learn how to budget their
money in real life situations. They
choose a profession and what type of
car and house they want to purchase.
Then they are faced with cost of living
expenses: buying groceries, paying for
insurance, etc., and even some unex-
pected expenses throughout the day.
They must write a check for every ex-
pense. At the end of the day, they want
to have a positive balance in their
checking account. The students did a
great job and learned some valuable life
lessons.
IHSA Solo Ensemble Contest 2013
Congratulations goes out to the member of the A-C
Central Band who participated in the 2013 IHSA
solo ensemble contest on Saturday March 2. This
contest tests the individual
student in their playing abilities. A student pre-
pares a solo and, with a piano accompanist, this
student performs for a judge and is given comments
and the appropriate medal. Several students from
A-C chose to participate. The participants and the
results are as follows:
Sebrena Reek – flute solo – I
Ryan Woodard – tenor sax solo – I
Ty Kesselring – bari sax solo – I
Cerys Boston – trumpet solo – I
Allyson Quick – French horn solo – I
Hoaby Hoagland – tuba solo
Allyson Quick – piano solo – I
Percussion ensemble–Ty Kesselring, Jackson Allen,
Cerys Boston, Allyson Quick, Daerial DeGroot, Alex
Brue, Maddie Elder, Caseelynn Johnston & Breann

Congratulations all – GREAT JOB! Special thanks go
out to Cindy Bobbitt for her talents on the piano.
Your time is very much appreciated.
To Ashland Village residents,
As the April 9th voting date nears, it will mark the beginning of a transition in Ashland to a new vil-
lage president. That process will be complete on May 8th, when my replacement will be sworn in.
I would like to thank the citizens of Ashland for the honor of representing you for the last twelve years. It has been one of my greatest pleasures to serve you. There have been many fine people I
have worked with over the last twelve years, including citizens, board members and village employ-
ees. My first term involved much learning, and I want to especially thank Doc Uhland, Jim Noel,
Joette Thornley, Mary Ann Edwards and Alicia Hager for helping so much during that period.
There have been several large accomplishments, many small ones, and two more (construction of
the flood diversion and turn lanes at Brandt's and Dollar General) that will be finished this summer after I leave office. Although not every project has had unanimous support, we have had a consen-
sus on every project. Your concerns and support have been important to the board, and I encourage
everyone to continue letting the board know your feelings. One of the biggest challenges facing us in
some decisions is the fact that some of these projects will have an impact in the community for
twenty, thirty, or more years into the future. It takes a good crystal ball, along with input from many
people, to make the correct decision.
Other projects remain to be started and finished, and the ever changing politics in Springfield will
continue to challenge the financial abilities of small towns across Illinois. I encourage everyone to
participate in community affairs, whether they be at the village, school, library, youth, or any other
level you have an interest in.
Thank You,
Dave Handy
