Students with a passion for woodworking will have an opportunity to receive scholarships through the Architectural Manufacturing Management and Technology program at Pittsburg State University, thanks to a legacy built by a lifelong woodworker.
Chris Schultz, owner and founder of Old World Woodworking Co. In Gilbert, Arizona, died on March 6 after a battle with cancer. Family and friends knew the best way to memorialize him would be to help students, just as Schultz did throughout this career.
Four incumbents and one challenger vie for three spots on board Village of Soldiers Grove
SOLDIERS GROVE - For those living in the Village of Soldiers Grove, the April 6 ballot will offer four choices for three open positions on the village board. Incumbents Steve George, Vicki Campbell and Jerry Miller will be joined on the ballot by challenger Howard ‘Homer’ Arndt.
Paul Nicholson, who is currently serving as village president, is also seeking re-election to that position and is running unopposed. Nicholson is the owner, operator and chief mechanic at Nicholson Motors. Nicholson has led the village through the last year during the COVID-19 pandemic, been instrumental in securing a $914,000 grant from the Community Development Public Facility Grant program to upgrade the village’s aging sewer system, and helped up upgrade systems for park rentals and camping in the village park.
