BIRMINGHAM/BLOOMFIELD When longtime Scout mom Heidi Kreindler caught word that the National Boy Scouts of America was going to open its prestigious Eagle Scout program to girls back in 2019, she wanted no part of it.
“I was dead set against it,” Kreindler said with a laugh. “I said ‘Boys need to be with boys, and girls need to be with girls.’”
But her 16-year-old daughter Chloe Kreindler, a junior at Seaholm High School, had a different opinion. The Girl Scout wanted to make history as one of the first females to attain that esteemed rank of Eagle Scout, which only 6% of all Scouts achieve.
Sponsored by CHS Future Business Leaders of America, and in conjunction with Winterfest, students, teachers, and staff took time Feb. 3 to watch the premier of the 2021 Virtual Talent Show on YouTube.

According to FBLA adviser Angila Golik, “We usually have a panel of teachers and community members as the judges, but this year, due to COVID-19, we opened up voting to all students, faculty, and staff as well.”
Voting took place by electronic ballot, so the results could be seen instantaneously by everyone involved. The $400 in cash prizes for the winners were sponsored by the Adams Hub from Carson City, and FBLA senior members Abby Golik and Serena Dantzler were the emcees of the video show.

Growing demand for pedigree Blue Texel females in the UK has reached a new high in the last 12 months as prices continue to soar in the sale ring and almost 200 new members join the society.
Since its importation to the UK in the 1980s, the breed has developed massively across the country and it is now being recognised as a terminal sire within the commercial sheep industry, producing easily lambed progeny which are vigorous at birth.
EHS students âdisappearingâ
ELLSWORTH â âIt has everything to do with attendance,â Ellsworth High School Principal Dan Clifford told school board members on Jan. 12. He was referring to the current 20 percent failing rate among students, a number that provides a stark comparison to the four to eight percent failing rate that is the norm.
High school students split their school days between in-person and remote learningâattending classes at home via technology where they observe and, to some degree, participate in classes in real-time.
Except that many do not tune in, Clifford said. And, by choice, roughly 100 students are full-time remote learners, although he noted that number was going down, likely due to falling grades among those students.Â
