Twenty A-C Central 7th and 8th graders attended a math competition at Payson Seymour Junior High School on Saturday, April 9th. The competition con-
sists of an individual test and a team test, where the students are divided into teams of five. There were 176 total students competing in the competition (7th and 8th graders combined). In the individual compe-tition with other 7th graders, Cadence Smith finished
in 7th place and Alex Brue in 9th place. In addition, the students were given the opportunity to submit an essay prior to the competition about what our world would be like without math. Kendra Escudero won the
essay contest and was rewarded with a $100 gift card to Best Buy. The students were entertained with live music and numerous door prizes. Emma Lynn won a wireless mouse, Kendra Escudero won a flash drive
and mouse pad, and Brittany Smith won an iPod shuf-fle. The students had a great day and did a fantastic job of rep-resenting A-C Cen-
tral. Front:

What Would our World be Like Without Math?
By Kendra Escudero, A-C Central 7th grader When you go to school you‟re enrolled in all the
basics, Science, Math, Social Studies, etcetera. But have you ever wondered what it would be like if we didn‟t have
one of those subjects? If it hadn‟t ever been discovered? Let‟s take math for instance. What if we didn‟t have it? From the beginning of time there would never have been numbers. We wouldn‟t have calendars, map scales, addi-tion, or subtraction? No sense of time, or money. Imagine what the world would be like; what we wouldn‟t be able to do; the things we wouldn‟t have. Scary, huh? Because we have always had the handy knowledge of numbers, we have taken for granted just how useful math is. To some, math is just another subject in school, learning about
times tables, graphing linear equations, and more whether you like it or not.
If there was no math there would be one less subject in school to learn about. You think yay, right? Nay, because what about all the things we wouldn‟t know? If we didn‟t have math, modern society would be much different. There would be no alarm clock to wake you up; no calendar to tell you what day it is. You wouldn‟t know your age. (For some people that wouldn‟t be a problem!) You wouldn‟t know what time to go to school, because
time, as numbers wouldn‟t exist. If we didn‟t have num-bers at least no one would care about how much they weighed, because they wouldn‟t know!
If someone were sick and had a fever, you‟d be clueless of how serious their temperature level was. So you‟d never know how serious of a fever they had.
A lot of things we do today wouldn‟t be relevant or even exist if arithmetic wasn‟t real.
You would have no valuable desire for currency. Speed limit signs would be irrelevant. We‟d be insensible
to the population of our community. There‟d be no phone numbers or street numerals to memorize. No one would have to worry about trying to convince the United States to convert to the S.I. System. To say the least, the world would be a dysfunctional and chaotic place without the precious properties of math.
As you‟ve already read, our world would be lim-ited on the things we could do, say, think, or create. Until now, I‟ve never really thought of all the horrors of a “no-math” world. So if the question ever arises to you “Where
would our world be without math?” I‟m thinking “nowhere good” is a pretty fair guess.

I would also like to thank the people who donated in the donation cans at Allen‟s, Casey‟s, Deana's,
Jimmy's, RPA Elevator & West Central Bank. Finally I would like to thank all the people who donated
their time helping make this project come together. I want to thank everyone for showing me sup-
port through my years in scouting.
My name is Kyle P. Winkelman. I am in the process of applying for the highest award the Boy Scouts of America can bestow upon a youth member, Eagle Scout. I did this project because I wanted to give back to the community. I also think it makes the park look more appealing and hope it makes the town
continue to grow. I would like to thank the community for supporting my project. I would also like to thank the following individuals, businesses and churches who helped me raise money for this project:
The Illinois Section American Water Works Association (ISAWWA) recently held its annual public water sup-ply technical conference in Springfield. Each year the association presents awards to individuals that exem-plify outstanding performance as well as dedicated years of service to the public water supply profession.
This year one of the recipients of the Quarter Century Service Award is H. A. Votsmier, of Ashland, Illinois. This award is presented jointly by the ISAWWA and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. The award goes to water professionals that have served in the industry for twenty-five years or longer. Mr. Votsmier‟s career definitely belongs under the “or longer” section. He has served in various positions with
the Village of Ashland‟s public water system for over 40 years with much of this time devoted to serving as their certified public water supply operator. In this 40 year period the public water supply industry has seen major changes, particularly in the regulatory requirements that all water systems must meet. Mr. Votsmier was presented with the award at the April 13 meeting of the Ashland village board by ISAWWA
Chairman Dennis Ross.

I enjoyed the article about the Ashland Sale barn. Cal Aggertt was quite a guy. He would let us kids who lived uptown play around there. At one time I would say
there were 15 to 20 of us in that one block uptown. The Wooldridge‟s– Walt, Junita, Barlo(Bill): the Hinds-Jim, David, P.R., Frankie, Howard,& Harold (they had older brothers): the Hickman‟s-Gladys, Dallas & Dale: The Brunners-Mary, Delores & Rosie Mae: and us Lewis‟s-Jr., Betty, and me...Joan. Linda Sue came later. Cal let Barlo and me box in the ring before the sale started and then passed the hat.. we made a lot of money that day. My sister Betty sold her puppy a couple of Tuesdays because they would give the pup back to her. There was a high bank across the street and they would unload over there with poles, I guess for fence posts and place them like tepees. So you can guess the fun we had playing there. I was born above Jimmy‟s (my folks had a restaurant there) and was two years old when my parents bought the Hotel which they kept and put a coffee shop and barber shop in it. At one time it had a beauty shop too. Dad sold it around 1952 or 53. So a Lot of stories could be told about changes in the sale barn. It was a meeting place bringing many people to town. In the summer of the 50‟s sales were held at night and business‟s had to adjust. Yes Cal Aggertt was a very good man. I remember him well. -Joan Lewis DeGroot
