THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY

     THE GOOD....... 

          Jo and I were so excited to learn that Heidi Hicks, a Boone High School family and consumer science teacher, has received a statewide honor.

          She's our neighbor......just a couple doors down.

          Heidi has been named the 2025 Iowa ACTE Teacher of the Year.

          This award is presented annually by the Iowa Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE). It recognizes outstanding CTE  educators who demonstrate innovation in the classroom, commitment to their students, and leadership in advancing career and technical education across their communities.

           Heidi has led the BHS program since 2022 and recently was honored with the reward at the ACTE Conference. The program prepares students for careers and success in areas such as culinary arts, child development, hospitality, human services and interior design.

           Great job Heidi.

     THE BAD........ 

            Occasionally, I, the Kornerman, scan the Boone Police report and, unfortunately, I did that recently. My coverage was from May 22 to June 22. Never really intended it that way but that's a month's worth.

            There's some bad reading there but some that surprised me is worse than bad.

     THE UGLY...... 

             Here goes......

              5/27  Juvenile male of Pilot Mound, theft. Age 16. 

              5/30  Juvenile male, Boone, harassment. Age 11.

              6/1    Juvenile male, Boone, unauthorized use of a credit card. Age 16.

              6/3    Juvenile male, Ames, ??, Age 10.

              6/7    Juvenile male, Ogden, interference with official acts. Age 12.

              6/10  Juvenile male, Boone, OWI. Age 17.

              6/17  Juvenile male, Boone, arrest warrant. Age 19

             All I can think of to say or that I'm going say is......What the???

     In the mail, Ron Hopkins, BSH-59, wrote, "just catching up on some recent Korner blogs. Amazing how often the Coney Island at 8th and Keeler is mentioned. I probably only had lunch there a half a dozen times, 60 years ago, but I can still remember the taste and the experience -WOW! I worked part time at Redeker's in its original location around the corner and down the block on Keeler and ate lunch at the Coney Island when I could. It's great that you continue the Korner. I hope to visit Boone in early September."
