The Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) has announced national qualifiers for their 2005-2006 poster and essay contest held last year.  Mrs. Loretta Jent of WCTU came to Dee-Mack Intermediate School, Deer Creek for a special assembly recently to honor Chance Bukowski, 6th grade student.  In front of the entire student body, Chance learned that he had placed 2nd at the National Level of competition for his poster entry.  Chance had submitted his entry as a fifth grader.  The theme of the contest was, “Encourage good decision-making and good lifelong choices concerning drugs, alcohol, and tobacco”.  Mrs. Jent reported that this was the first national qualifier from this area.  Previous to this award, Chance’s poster had placed first in Tazewell County and first in the State of Illinois competition.  To date, Chance has earned $95 in prize money for his award winning poster.  Chance is the son of proud parents, Chuck and Shelly Bukowski of Mackinaw.
