There will be a question on the November 6, 2012 election ballot concerning electrical aggregation. Aggregation is when a municipality shops for the best rate for its residents as a whole. Ameren is a delivery only company and encourages aggregation. If a customer doesn’t pick a utility, the State of Illinois solicits bids and then bills through Ameren. The question posed to voters will ask whether or not to allow the Village of Ashland to pursue bids on behalf of its residents for the lowest group rate on electricity. If you have questions concerning this matter, please contact one of the Trustees listed below. Election packets are now available at the Municipal Building for those wishing to run for local office during the April 9, 2013 election. Petitions can be circulated from September 25, 2012 until December 24, 2012. 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.

Ashland residents should be aware of the dan-gers of infected mosquitos in our area. There is a great deal of information on the web for
your research and to write about this epi-demic of infected mosquitos and the symp-
toms of the illness. It is very serious and
should be reported to the community so oth-ers can take adequate precautions to protect themselves . People can get bitten while working in the yard, cleaning up, and planting. Repellant is good, but reports indicate that DEET is the only reliable poison. Standing water in pool
covers, old tires, ditches, and other open re-
ceptacles of water should be cleaned up im-mediately.
Symptoms include feeling tired with head-aches. It especially bad for anyone over 50. If someone notices these symptoms, please, see your physician imme-
diately.
We would like to thank everyone who has sup-ported us in our fundraising for the Muscular
Dystrophy Association over the past few years. With the help of our family, friends and our com-munity, we have been able to donate over
$10,000 to MDA for 3 years in a row. We could-n’t do it without you. Hopefully, with your con-
tinued support, we will be able to donate as much or more in the years to come. We pray
that together, we can help find a cure. Our sincere thanks!

8th Graders Raise Money for “Save the Children”
by Emily Duncan, A-C Central Middle School
In April and May, some members of the 8th grade class at A-C Central Middle School were in-
spired by the “Kony 2012” initiative to raise funds to
benefit the children of Uganda. Joseph Kony has
been accused of ordering the abduction of children to become child soldiers, but has evaded capture. Save
the Children is an organization that actively advo-
cates for children’s rights and works to protect chil-dren from abuse, exploitation, and violence, including
recruitment into armed forces, so the 8th graders felt
this would be the best foundation to send donations to. Their goal was to raise $500 to send to Uganda
within 5 weeks. Each Wednesday, the entire middle
school was encouraged to donate money, and also dress up for “spirit days;” the days included hat day,
camo day, twin day, mix & match day, and superhero
day. Teachers also got to participate in a “jeans day”
and were able to wear jeans if they donated money. If any student donated at least once, they got to par-
ticipate in a fun block of school Olympic-style events.
Activities included tug-of-war, cow chip throwing, and relay races. For students who donated 4 out of 5
days, they additionally were able to participate in a
movie day, where they brought in snacks and got to watch a movie in homeroom during school.
The 8th graders were so passionate about
their cause that they wanted more than just the A-C
Central population to be able to donate. They ex-
plained their mission to a local church and a few
other businesses and succeeded in getting them to
accept donations from the public as well! Because of
all the team work, our community raised over $800
to send to Save the Children! Briley Eilers, head of
the committee of students, recognized her fellow
committee members at the end-of-the-year honors
assembly at A-C Central. The other committee mem-
bers were Kendra Escudero, Eric Savage, Cadence
Smith, Tanner Force, Lindsey Zuwlaski, Anna Henry,
and Alex Brue. Keep your eye out for even more
amazing feats they can accomplish through high
school!

“What is Man?”
What is man
If he doesn’t walk with God? What would his purpose be,
From the cradle to the sod? Would he merely just exist
Not knowing about God’s Grace, No chance of Life Eternal,
Just occupying space?
What would man do
If he had to bear the Cross? If sin’s debt was his to pay, Could he withstand the loss?
Would he call Ten Thousand Angels To escape the circumstance, Refuse to take the Bitter Cub And doom man’s only chance?
Where would man be
Without Salvation’s Plan? He couldn’t turn his life around,
Just live the best he can.
He’d have no one to go to In trouble and in need,
In himself be most miserable And from sin never freed.
So I ask you, what is man Just blood, flesh and bone?
A hunk of clay that’s worthless, Whose destination is unknown?
Yes, that’s truly what man really is Because of Adam’s fall.
But in Jesus man has Victory, If he declares Him “Lord of All.”
