Motions, Seconds, and Votes! City Councils and School Boards Hold First Meetings
City and School Boards held their inaugural meetings at Cornhusker Boys’ State. The mock government simulation allowed them to practice the duties and responsibilities of their offices. Delegates engaged in spirited debate about the issues of the day and passed many local laws and policies. The topics range from serious issues ripped from the headlines to fun local ordinances to enhance their town’s culture. The government simulation runs throughout the week. Thank you to the local attorneys who helped guide delegates through the experience.

The Bunker Hill City Council passed a very special ordinance during its first session: The Bunker Hill Boy of the Day Act. Each night, the town would recognize one individual for their contributions to improving their town, both in reputation and in character and quality. In an inspiring display of character, the council unanimously decided that neither they, nor the mayor, could be awarded this honor. Pictured above is the voting process of tonight’s selection. The award went to Colton Pilakowski for his tireless work in the legislature among other acts and generally excellent behavior. This procedure is an important reminder that you need not have a position to contribute to the town. The town is built by the people and it should be for the people.

Basketball moved outside today for their third and final regular-season games. Gettysburg and Manila Bay finished undefeated and will play for the championship, while Alamo and Yorktown entered their games needing wins to challenge for a spot in the 3rd and 4th place games; both brought home the victory, with Alamo narrowly winning in a 10-7 victory. Bataan and Bunker Hill will play in the 5th and 6th place game. Belleau Wood and Valley Forge continued their struggle, but they will get a chance to play each other for their first win of the week.

Every night, the delegates of Boys’ State engage in leadership discussions; sharing experiences from their lives that have made them who they are. Bunker Hill’s discussion was on “What It Takes?”, opened up on what they believe it takes to be, not just a good leader, but a good citizen. These discussions provide a unique opportunity for the delegates to open up about topics that they may never have shared or thought about before and to learn from those who have lived very different lives.
