CHERRY VALLEY – Who would have ever thought a journey across the Arctic Circle would begin in Cherry Valley?
The answer to that came by way of a phone call from the mother of one of two young cousins, Paul Lundkvist and Kevork Derderian, both from the Chicago area. The two young men, both in their 20s, according to Ricardo Sierra, executive director of the nonprofit Hawk Circle, of Cherry Valley, were trained at Hawk Circle recently in preparation of their July adventure across the Arctic Circle – following a phone call from one of the young men’s mother.

On Tuesday, the first public informational meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. in Room 145. The second building project presentation will take place Monday, March 5 at 4:30 p.m. in Room 145.
The Board of Education and Community Advisory Council will present details about the project at the meetings as well as take questions from the audience.
A copy of the presentation the Community Advisory Council made to the school board can be viewed here.
Information about the project is also available on the district’s website at www.cvscs.org/ under the "Board of Education" tab.
The project would cost $7.79 million and breaks the work down into three major areas: space reconfiguration, building systems maintenance and upgrading and exterior site work.
Space reconfiguration is slated to cost $2.35 million and focuses on shuffling the library, classrooms and administrative offices to improve the flow of the school, improve office efficiency and address safety concerns with the current layout.
The building systems maintenance aspect of the project would cost $1.85 million and involves repairing or replacing some of the "nuts and bolts" elements in the school. Examples include fixing leaks with the roof, upgrading the clock system and replacing one of the building’s boilers.
The third component of the project, exterior site work, would cost $1.7 million. It includes replacing the pavement and reconfiguration of the parking area and student drop-off zone to enhance pedestrian and vehicle traffic flow.
If approved, the project will have an estimated impact on the tax levy of slightly more than one-half of one percent, or about $23,107 per year over the 15-year life of the project. Estimates provided by one of the project’s engineers call for approximately $30,000 per year in savings brought about by energy efficiency improvements included in the project, reducing the annual impact from $53,107 to the $23,107 figure.
