Ben Seel, Independence Community College Political Science Professor, has announced a Board of Trustee Candidates Forum for students, staff and community members on Tuesday, March 29th. The event will be held in the William Inge Theatre on beginning at 5:00 p.m. with a casual meet and greet. The formal platform speeches will begin at 5:30 p.m. followed by a reception and informal discussions at approximately 6:45 p.m.
“I’ve invited all nine of the candidates to the public forum on the ICC campus where they can introduce themselves and share their thoughts with our students, employees of the College, and the general public,” said Seel, who will serve as host and emcee for the evening. “This event is being sponsored by the Political Science Department because many people on campus are interested in meeting our candidates in person.”
The nine candidates are vying for three board positions and will be on the April 5th general election ballot for registered voters living in the northern half of Montgomery County.
Each candidate has been asked to bring a one page document listing their qualifications for the board, their platform, and any other information that whey will want voters to have about their candidacy. A list of questions was included and the candidates’ information and answers will be compiled into information packets for those attending the forum.
During the public forum, each candidate will have several minutes to address the audience. “After all the candidates speak, we will take a short recess and then move into a Q&A session. Members of the audience will be allowed to direct a question to a specific candidate and the candidate will have up to two minutes to respond; one other candidate will be given the opportunity for a one minute rebuttal/extension. There will be time allotted for one direct question per candidate,” added Seel.
For more information about the forum, contact Seel at either bseel@indycc.edu or 620-332-5464.

Bread Making Topic of New Class
A Bread Making Class has been added to the Mid-Semester Course line up at Independence Community College. The hands-on instructional sessions are laid out in three evening classes beginning on March 28th and continuing on April 4th and 11th.
“Hands-on yeast bread is the study topic,” said instructor Patty Wolfe, who teaches ICC’s popular Cake Decorating classes. “We’ll study white and whole wheat breads, cinnamon rolls, raisin bread, and, time permitting, may work with yeast doughnuts and different shaped dinner rolls. My plan is to have some product ready to bake so students can see what it looks like at each stage of the process and we’ll be using the oven to bake during class so they can see the finished product.”
She went on to add that the students will learn bread baking skills and get success tips, in addition to the experience of stirring up their own dough, kneading, and letting it rise. Each student will be making their own dinner rolls and small loaves of bread.
Wolfe will be teaching in the Community Room Kitchen of ICC West from 6:30-9:00 p.m. Cost is $25.00 and can be paid on the first night of class. Minimal supplies will need to be purchased and the supply list will be distributed at the first session.
For more information, call (620) 332-5433 or email asmith@indycc.edu
