ILLINOIS SPOTLIGHT: Miss Illinois warns students about distracted driving ...
ABINGDON, Ill. — Hannah Smith waited for the assembly inside Abingdon High School's auditorium to begin wearing a sparkling tiara and silk sash.
But the 20-year-old wasn't in the school April 26 to show off the trappings of being reigning Miss Illinois . Smith was there to deliver a message about the dangers of distracted driving.
The Abingdon High School Student Council and adviser Cindy Arthur invited Smith to speak on the eve of the start of prom activities. Today, the school will host a number of activities to further raise students' awareness of the dangers of driving while texting, talking on a cellphone, not wearing a seat belt and driving under the influence.
Cierra Moshier, a senior and president of the student council, overcame a wicked case of hiccups and introduced Smith. Moshier said all of the students she knows have texted while driving.
"It's something a lot of kids don't think about and it's something a lot of kids think is OK to do as long as you're quick about it," Moshier said. "And we are trying to change that."
Whet your appetite for this weekend's Arts Walk!
Feel free to comment here or email me at ddemarest@theolympian.com if you want to make other suggestions for must-see exhibits or shows.
DESIGN -- Thinking outside the rectangle: Plywood is often maligned, but local fans of mid-century modern architecture are celebrating the versatile stuff at “Plywood,” a mixed-media show at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts, 512 Washington St. S.E. The show will feature entries in the Plywood Design Competition, which invited people to begin with a 4-foot-by-8-foot sheet of plywood — or a 1-foot-by-2-foot piece of cardboard — and create anything they could come up with. Call 360-753-8586, or go to www.washingtoncenter.org.
FABRIC ART -- Quite a lot of quilts: For fans of quilting, Arts Walk offers not one but two shows — and coincidentally, both are at bookstores. Quilts and other fabric art by the Washington Stars Quilt Guild will be on display at Browsers’ Book Shop, 107 Capitol Way N.; call 360-357-7462. And Fireside Bookstore, 116 Legion Way S.E., will show repurposed wool quilts by Joan Behlke and Julia Smit; call 360-352-4006.
