Forces that were also installed on Aug. 1.
A
milestone was
reached for the Veterans Tribute on the
Kaskaskia College
campus on Thursday, August 1 with the mounting of
the American Eagle Sculpture as the
centerpiece of Phase 1 of the Tribute.
The sculpture was created by
renowned sculptor Mike Curtis of
Idaho, and arrived on campus last
summer, awaiting construction of the
Warrior’s Court and the installation of
the pedestal upon which it sits. The
bronze seals of the five branches of
the U.S. Armed Forces were also
mounted on Thursday. These seals
surround the eagle sculpture.
Phase 1 of the Veterans Tribute
contains two walls, already in place,
upon which will be mounted black
granite sheathing inscribed with the
names of area service members, past
and present, provided by the citizens
of the College District. Beneath the
eagle sculpture will be red bricks,
either 4 inches by 8 inches or 8 inches by 8”, which were acquired
through donations to the project. The
bricks will be inscribed with messages from the donors. Additional
brick sales are still available.
“The eagle has finally landed,” said
Jim Beasley, co-chair of the Veteran’s
Tribute project and Kaskaskia College Board member. “It is magnificent!”

sales, please visit www.veteranstributeatkc.com.

KC’s Nashville Education Center packs multitude of services into small space
T
he Kaskaskia College
Nashville Education
Center may be small, but
the services it offers to
residents and students
are huge.
Built upon Kaskaskia College’s philosophy of “bringing education to the
times and places convenient to the
learner,” the Nashville Center has
expanded the services and classes it
offers to the communities of Washington County. The Nashville Education
Center opened its doors in August, 2003
and has continued to thrive ever since. It
houses four education classrooms and a
ten station up-to-date computer lab and
is open to the public 8:00 a.m. to 9:00
p.m. Monday through Thursday and
8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on Fridays.
Originally built as an experiment to
see if there was sufficient demand for a
Kaskaskia College facility in Washington County, the Nashville Center has
continued to expand its class offerings
and community services in its cramped
space on Kaskaskia Street in Nashville.
Recent Community Engagement and
Board of Trustees meetings at the Center overfilled the largest meeting space
available, highlighting the need for a
larger space with more classrooms and
laboratories to accommodate an evergrowing selection of classes and events
at the Center.
Expansion of the Nashville Education
Center is sorely needed, and is currently
being addressed by the College, which
has located a suitable site on Rt. 127
north of Nashville for a new, state of the
art building. The campaign for fundraising and design of the new space is
CMYK
expected to be underway later this year.
Under an agreement signed earlier
this year, Kaskaskia College is now able
to offer full degree programs at each of
its Education Centers, where before
only half of the credit hours needed for
a degree could be earned off campus.
With the advent of online classes, in
which students need only computer and
Internet access to attend classes, and
distance learning classes through the
College’s network of distance learning
classrooms, Nashville, as well as other
Education Centers, can now offer much
more programming than what was
available when every class meant a rigid
schedule of face-to-face class meetings.
The Nashville Center uses the College’s PolyCom system that allows oneon-one interaction between the Center
and the main campus for tutoring, counseling, and other services to take place
without the need for local students to
travel for these services.
Utilizing its distance learning classroom, the Nashville Center can make
available classes that are taught at any
of the campuses or other extension centers. This is not only convenient for the
students who do not have to travel to
attend a class; it allows for a few students from several different locations to
use the technology to make a class
viable.
The Nashville Center is also part of
the initiative called Weekend College, in
which students who work full time can
take classes that meet on Friday
evenings and Saturdays breaking the
mold of classes that are held mornings
and afternoons through the week. This
allows students with inflexible schedules to also attend classes at KC.
Pictured are staff members Pat Mefford, Ruth Barczewski and Marlene Hawkins.
In response to the College’s Community Engagement and Advisory Board
meetings, Kaskaskia College is seeking
to fill the needs of the communities it
serves by expanding courses at the Education Centers.
Another service offered at the
Nashville Center is Community Education classes. These credit and noncredit classes cover topics of interest
from getting the most use from an iPad

entry Into KC’s Massage
Therapy Program
K
askaskia College is
announcing
that openings
remain for
entry into the Fall 2013 Massage
Therapy Program. The mission
of the Massage Therapy Program is to produce entry-level
Massage Therapists for the labor
market while fostering attitudes
toward life-long education and
development of skills.
The American Massage Therapy Association defines Massage Therapy as a profession in
which the practitioner applies
manual techniques, and may
apply adjunctive therapies, with
the intention of positively affecting the health and well being of
the client. Since the field of
Massage Therapy is relatively
new, the profession is undergoing fast-paced change. Massage
is both an art and a science. It
requires academic knowledge
and technical training. Practitioners need to possess skills,
manual dexterity, sensitivity, and
awareness.
For more information concerning the Massage Therapy
program, please call Jane Hermann at 545-3220.

Heinzmann, “Our programs desperately needed increased space,
as we have grown significantly
over the last eight years. Enrollment has grown 54 percent since
2005, and served nearly 100 students in 2012-13.”
This move will allow the KC
Agriculture Program to expand
from the current 1200 square
foot room to a 44,000 square
foot building. KC Professor Bill
Waggoner says, “We have out
grown our current set-up by
leaps and bounds very quickly.
As a 2000 graduate of the Agricultural Program at KC, I can
personally say that this is a perfect fit. This move will give our
students leading edge lab space
to perform studies that will be
very beneficial to the quickly
changing Agricultural Industry”.
The Intergovernmental Agreement gives KC the building for a
five year period with one five
year renewal period. The new
building, now being named the
“Kaskaskia College Agricultural
feels that the agreement will
greatly assist our already successful Agriculture Programs
with the space and tools necessary to take post-secondary agricultural education into the next

century. Evans says, “This building will provide us with larger
classrooms and abundant laboratory space. Keep in mind this
building was built to service the
agricultural industry, and we will
continue to utilize the building
for what its original purpose
was. I am excited for the future.”
Heinzmann adds, “The facility
also fits us at the right time, as
the Agriculture and Horticulture
programs have each added
degrees and certificates in the
last year. The Agriculture program has expanded from one
Associate in Applied Science
Degree in Agriculture to four
AAS degrees.” The new degrees
include Agriculture Business,
Animal Science, Plant and Soil
Science, and Dairy Science.
Recently, the Horticulture also
added two new certificates that
will be available this fall. These
new programs include Landscape and Turfgrass Operations
and Greenhouse and Nursery
Production. Both programs are
expected to contribute to the
overall growth of the KC Horticulture Program.
The new facility will also
allow the KC Agriculture Programs to increase local partnerships with many other agriculture education partners. It is the
hopes of the program to increase
cooperative efforts with the local
Farm Bureaus, the University of
Illinois Extension, the Illinois
FFA Chapters and any other
groups that are willing to partner
to promote agriculture and horticulture.
Heinzmann adds, “We hope to
serve the local community as
well as the staff at the Animal
Disease Lab did for so many
years”.

Cody Gill places third
in national competition
for Kaskaskia College
J
une, Cody Gill of
Oakdale, representing the Kaskaskia
College Criminal
Justice program, finished with the Bronze Medal for
third place overall in Criminal
Justice at the National SkillsUSA
competition in Kansas City, Missouri. Prior to the national competition, Cody won the SkillsUSA competition for the State
of Illinois.
Cody was in competition with
other competitors from across
the nation. His third place
national finish makes him the
second highest-placing Criminal
Justice student in Kaskaskia College Criminal Justice history. In
2011, Tyler Rose secured the
National level Silver Medal for
Kaskaskia College Criminal Justice Program.
“It was intimidating at first,
competing against all those other
people,” Cody said, “but I was
confident that I knew how to do
the required skills. It was fun.”
The competition was stiff, and
Cody was shocked when his
name was called. “I just sat there
until Mr. Ingersoll grabbed me,”
he said. “Up on stage and looking out over thousands of people,
was definitely one of the biggest
moments of my life so far. Who
knew that my time at KC would
get me so far?”
Cody can expect to have more
big moments in his life. After
graduating from KC this May
with an Associate’s degree in
Criminal Justice, he recently
joined the Air Force and will
report on August 19 for Basic
Training in Texas. “I will be a
military police officer, and hopefully earn a Bachelors’ degree in
the service. I would love to eventually get a job with the FBI or
ATF, or one of the big agencies.”
Cody chose Kaskaskia College
specifically for small class sizes
and one-on-one instruction. “Mr.
Ingersoll is a great instructor,”
Cody said. “With his many years
as a police officer, he is able to
teach about real life situations as
well as what is in the books.”
For more information on the
Kaskaskia College Administration of Justice program, please
contact the program coordinator,
Professor Ken Ingersoll at (618)
545-3336 or by email at [email protected].

student Elliott
Engele ‘Does the
Right Thing’
R
ecently,
Kaskaskia College Nashville
Education Center student
Elliott Engele of Nashville found
a wallet in the restroom at the
Nashville Center. After inspecting the contents, he found a
rather large sum of money and
the name of the owner of the wallet.
Mr. Leo Barczewski, husband
of Nashville Center Director,
Ruth Barczewski, had accidentally left the wallet in the restroom.
He was elated with Engele
returned the wallet to him and all
its contents.
According to Engele, “My parents raised me and my siblings to
always be honest and respectful
when growing up so taking the
wallet or anything in it didn't
even cross my mind. They have
raised us all with good morals. I
know my brother and my sister
would have done the exact same
thing”.
Engele is a 2011 graduate of
Nashville High School and a
recently 2013 graduate of
Kaskaskia College receiving an
Associate in Arts and Associate
in Science Degree. He will be
transferring to Southern Illinois
University at Carbondale to
major in Plant and Soil Science.
He is the son of Calvin and
Stephanie Engele and Jana and
Jay Tull.
Engele adds that taking college
classes at the Nashville Education Center has been very convenient. He says, “It is close to
home so I did not have to drive to
Centralia every day and it was
nice seeing familiar faces as
teachers and students at the edu-
Fall Classes

August 19
cation center.”
He also agrees that the staff in
Nashville have been terrific.
“Ruth, Marlene, and Pat are
great! They have been very helpful to me in whatever I need.
Whether it be signing up for
classes or answering simple
questions. They go out of their
way to help students pursue their
educational goals, which speaks
loudly for Kaskaskia especially
the Nashville”.
He also says that he would recommend Kaskaskia to others. “I
would definitely recommend
Kaskaskia to any student. It is
inexpensive compared to other
community colleges and it gives
the student a great start to their
college education”.
