John Hladovcak can’t find a mechanic’s shop in Ottawa or Streator that doesn’t have at least one former student of his in its employ, a trend that continues as he shows Ottawa High School students the ins-and-outs of automotive repair.

The Streator High School English teacher and library media coordinator likes the idea of giving students something they can look forward to.
