Jackie MacDonald

Jacquelin Stern MacDonald passed away March 5, 2025 at Brethren Hillcrest Homes in LaVerne, California. Jackie was born on September 16, 1935 in Glendale, California to Theron and Virginia (Reed) Clapp. She was the oldest of four sisters. In 1957 she married Vernon W. Stern, raising three children, Dale, Diane, and Doug. Jackie frequently said how much she enjoyed hiking and camping in the mountains east of her home in Los Angeles with her husband Vern and her kids. She was a bilingual kindergarten teacher in Ontario, California, and particularly enjoyed teaching Spanish speaking children, many of whom were immigrants. Her husband Vern sadly passed away in 1991.

Bonspiel results from the Charles J. Futterer Memorial Bonspiel

The Cook County Curling Club hosted the Charles J. Futterer Memorial Bonspiel this past weekend, a thrilling display of competitive spirit. Ten out-of-town teams, including Charles J. Futterer senior's children and grandchildren, were part of the 13-team roster. The event was not just about competition, but also about coming together as a community. As always, there were a lot of spectators behind the glass throughout the weekend, some of whom came to just say hi to family and friends and to watch some good curling. The Cook County Curling Club is in its final week of curling for the 2024-2025 season.

CCHS Ice Storm robotics team performs exceptionally well at the Northern Lights Regional

The last time Cook County High School had a robotics team in the competition was in 2019, and then COVID-19 came along and shut the program down. Following a period of student disinterest, Ice Storm (3054) made a triumphant return in 2024-25. This resurgence was largely due to the leadership of new coach Sarah Anderson, a math teacher at ISD 166, and mentor Marie Tessier, a community member and software development specialist. Their dedication and the enthusiasm of seven highly motivated CCHS students have truly revitalized the program.
