No one should be upset because no one picked the correct numbers to win the large Powerball jackpot last night. It didn't stop people from walking up to the lottery outlets to buy a chance at a multi-million

United States Attorney Booth Goodwin presented the U.S. Attorney's Award for Distinguished Service to Officer Tom Speece of the Ravenswood Police Department.
Earlier this year, he learned a Ravenswood student had made a hit list of fellow students and intended to bring a shotgun to school to attack those on the list.
Speece rapidly intervened, preventing the student from carrying out his plan.
"Officer Speece's heroic work at Ravenswood High School saved lives," said Goodwin.
"He's built a level of trust with Ravenswood students that allowed him to find out about a problem before it turned into a tragedy, and he handled that problem superbly. His work highlights the enormous value of the Prevention Resource Officer program, which places police officers in schools around the state," he said.
Speece is a Prevention Resource Officer based at Ravenswood High School.
