Kaneland repeats conference title May 16, 2013 12:00 AM
Kaneland has decorated its left-field fence with softball decals featuring the names and numbers of its senior players. The Knights surely did it as a way to honor those seniors, though those big, oversized yellow softballs served a second purpose for Allyson O’Herron — target practice. The Kaneland shortstop, who was brilliant in the field all day, continued her hot hitting at the plate by lining a double off her name on that left-field fence in the Knights’ 4-0 victory over DeKalb.

Hampshire HS senior hopes to make a career out of film May 13, 2013 12:00 AM
When Danny Heck was in eighth grade, he and his friends made an Indiana Jones movie with a camcorder. He had such a good time it prompted some research into the film industry and how one could go about breaking into it. Heck, now a senior at Hampshire High School, has worked with Nicole Thompson, the high school librarian, and the District 300 Foundation over the last year on videos for school and district events. "That's when I really knew that this is what I wanted to do with the rest of my life," Heck said.

Kaneland bullying report falls short for some board members May 8, 2013 12:00 AM
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.
