Kaneland bullying report falls short for some board members
An update on what a task force has been doing to address bullying in Kaneland schools got a mixed reception from the school board Wednesday. Two members criticized the task force for not having any students on it, and only one parent. And one of those board members also said he was "disappointed" in the work, because the actions recommended were not based on Kaneland-specific data about bullying.

Youthful St. Charles North searching for consistency
Updated May 13, 2013 9:46 PMPerhaps St. Charles North baseball coach Todd Genke should have figured this would be a challenging season when the team's annual trip to downstate Marion was shortened due to a late-March snowstorm. Whatever the case, it definitely has not been business as usual for the North Stars this season.

- The Choral-aires Chorus placed second in the Community Teams category raising funds for breast cancer research last month, missing first place by only $25. The chorus raised $3,985 by the time the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure rolled around, with more donations still coming, surpassing their original goal of $3,000. The Choral-Aires has five current chorus members that either have, or have had, breast cancer. And this year, 2 of the team members discovered that their mothers have breast cancer, so they were walking on race day for their moms. One member of our team, Kara Gray, celebrated her 10 years without breast cancer this year. While not a Chorus member, she is the daughter of long-time member Martha Anderson, who also walked with the team on race day. Lindsey Herza
