NATIONAL HEART MONTH CHOLESTERAL SCREENINGS AND SERVICES
GALESBURG — Members of Carl Sandburg College’s TRIO programs will join those from Knox College to commemorate National TRIO Day from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Feb. 26 at Lake Storey Pavilion in Galesburg.
Students from Sandburg’s three TRIO programs — TRIO Student Support Services (SSS), TRIO Upward Bound (UB) and TRIO Upward Bound Math-Science (UBMS) — will join those from Knox’s TRIO SSS and TRIO McNair groups to celebrate these federally funded programs that serve millions of students who strive to be the first in their families to attend and graduate from college. Students from Sandburg and Knox will learn more about TRIO as a national program and will have an opportunity to reflect on their personal journey through interactive discussions and writing.
Additionally, students and staff from Sandburg’s TRIO programs will be present when Galesburg Mayor Peter Schwartzman announces a National TRIO Day proclamation during the city council meeting Feb. 21.
Sandburg’s TRIO UB program serves Knox County high school students from Abingdon-Avon, Galesburg, Knoxville and ROWVA as they transition into post-secondary education. The College’s TRIO UBMS program also serves students from those schools as well as Monmouth-Roseville High School and provides them with opportunities to pursue activities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Sandburg’s TRIO SSS program offers support and guidance to students during their time at Sandburg as they pursue a bachelor’s degree.
Together, these three free programs at Sandburg assist more than 250 students each year in their educational journey. Nationally, there are more than 1,000 colleges, universities and community agencies that host more than 2,800 TRIO projects that serve and assist more than 800,000 students.
Unlike financial aid programs that help students overcome financial hurdles to higher education, TRIO programs recognize the importance of overcoming all barriers to success. For more than 50 years, TRIO has provided valuable, supportive services to help first-generation students and students from low-income families, veterans and students with disabilities enter and graduate from college.
Services provided by TRIO programs include:

he Globetrotters Famous team gives 'wonderful exhibition' in 1935 Augusta One of the world's most recognized basketball teams brought its amazing skills and fun-loving antics to Augusta during one of the worst periods in local and national history. The Harlem Globetrotters played an exhibition game against the Augusta Trojans at 8 p.m. on Feb. 15, 1935. America had turned the corner from the darkest days of the Great Depression, but was still reeling from its most prolonged economic downturn. Augusta needed a break from the despair, even if it was for only one night. The Globetrotters certainly obliged. The Augusta Eagle newspaper gave the Globetrotters' lineup as Dan Dennis, Harold "Killer" Johnson, Rabbit Buckner, Bruiser Bolton and Rab McDonald. The newspaper only listed the last names of the Augusta team — Lansdown, Stienbarger, Elder, Lucie, Crear, Waymack and Aleshire. The game was played at Augusta Community High School. The Eagle did not list a final score, but the contest apparently was close until the end, even if t he outcome did not favor the Trojans. "It was evident that the Globe Trotters could pick points when they desired" and were "entirely too much for the local lads," The Eagle said. The Globetrotters, who would become the sport's biggest international ambassadors while racking up more than 120,000games and welcoming women players, "gave a wonderful exhibition of skill in handling the ball and also were fine entertainers," the newspaper concluded. You can find the complete story in historian Brent Engel's book "A Few Augusta Stories."

COVID is a virus whose symptoms resemble other common illnesses. Many people will have mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. Others may have a more severe bout of it. As with any illness it is important to stay home if you are ill to decrease the spread.
