• Judson falls to No. 1 York in NAIA tournament May 10, 2013 12:00 AM
  The Judson University baseball team's quest for a berth in the NAIA World Series suffered a setback Friday but not a fatal blow. The third-seeded Eagles were limited to 6 hits in a 5-0 loss to No. 1 York College (Neb.) at the NAIA Opening Round Qualifier at Sliver Cross Field in Joliet, which follows a double-elimination format. Judson (45-16) was unable to solve long-bearded left-hander Aaron Conyers (9-2), who recently was named NAIA National Pitcher of the Week for a no-hitter he threw against Central Baptist (Ark.) on April 26. Conyers (9-2) needed 105 pitches to toss a 9-inning shutout and snap Judson's 18-game winning streak.

  What Tony Blair’s Elgin visit meant for local police Apr 13, 2013 12:00 AM
  The 40 or so police officers at Judson University making sure Tony Blair's visit went smoothly were a far cry from the approximately 150 people who descended on the campus for former President George W. Bush's speech in 2011. Elgin Police Department Lt. Dan O'Shea said the whole effort started out with a call to the Secret Service. "It's a lot of work but it's kind of matter of fact because I do it every year," O'Shea said.
