Although it was not a typical type of scenario played out on a field, court or classroom, students from the area showcased their skills in a heated competition.
Last month, students from the Wexford-Missaukee Intermediate School District s Career Technical Center participated in a virtual SkillsUSA competition. The results were released and it showed that several Computer Networking and Electronics Technology students and one Heavy Equipment student medaled in the state competition, including multiple gold medal winners.
While the event was different and virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all the students who medaled put in a lot of work and it paid off. While Riley Larr s story about his bronze medal effort in the Diesel Equipment Technology competition was told recently, the eight CNET students accolades will take the center stage.
Tipton also played around Colorado for a few years in the band Young Coyotes. He just released a new single, Cult of Pain, and has a full-length album coming out in 2021. Like his most recent album, it will be acoustic, but the upcoming project will take a more melodically aggressive approach. I don’t want to soothe anyone with my music, he says. I don’t hold back.
He s used the time saved by working from home this year for songwriting, going through around 600 forgotten tracks saved to his computer. While it was an exhausting undertaking, he was inspired to finish it.
