Cheers

... to the McLean County Museum of History in downtown Bloomington for its newest permanent exhibit, Challenges, Choices & Change: Farming in the Great Corn Belt.

The exhibit, curated by Susan Hartzold and Don Meyer, connects visitors to the county's rich agricultural history and its future.

For years, agriculture, insurance and education have been the underpinnings of McLean County's economy. The museum's newest exhibit celebrates the farmers and their farms have helped make the county what it is today.

... to, on a related topic, the various entities that celebrated the recent National Ag Day, including farm bureaus, insurance companies, schools and universities.

"If you ate today, thank a farmer" is a simple yet crucial way to understand the connection between a farmer's job and what it means to our community and the world in general.

Here in the Corn Belt, every day is Ag Day and we are grateful to the people whose work makes it possible.

... to the six-week fitness challenge announced by the McLean County Wellness Coalition's Workplace Wellness Subcommittee.

The program, for any county resident age 16 or older, tracks exercise minutes, shows new places to exercise and increases camaraderie, according to a story by reporter Paul Swiech.

A recent community health needs assessment revealed that 32 percent of county residents are obese, so the effort is needed.

... to American Red Cross, Bloomington and Normal fire departments, Home Sweet Home Ministries and O'Brien Mitsubishi for their April 8 program to offer and install free smoke alarms to families who need them.

... to organizers of the new Bloom Community School, a small elementary school that will let students learn in environments outside traditional classrooms.

Curriculum will be project-based. Bloom has partnered with entities like the McLean County Museum of History, the Children's Discovery Museum, West Bloomington Revitalization Project and University of Illinois Extension.

... to our dear newsroom friends and colleagues, Chuck Blystone, Bill Flick and Steve Smedley, who retired in March after a combined 109 years of service to The Pantagraph.

The newspaper is an institution made up of individuals. For 180 years, The Pantagraph had served our communities thanks to the dedication of dedicated employees like Chuck, Bill and Steve.
