CGA’s Waverly Neer wins national junior championship

June 29, 2011

By
Tim Creason

EUGENE, Ore. — Waverly Neer was never known for a tremendous kick during her high school athletic career.
But she sure picked the right time to come up with one.
Neer, a recent Culver Girls Academy graduate, outsprinted Kayla Beattie of Woodstock, Ill., in a dramatic homestretch drive to win the women’s 3,000-meter run Saturday night at the U.S. Outdoor Junior Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
Her winning time — 9 minutes, 16.23 seconds — is equivalent to running two miles in less than 10 minutes.
Beattie was just a step behind at 9:16.39.

Lake increases summer security

June 22, 2011

By
Lydia Beers

Sheriff Tom Chamberlin and representatives from the Lake Maxinkuckee Association presented a plan to increase patrol hours on the lake this summer during the Marshall County Commissioners meeting Monday. Their objective is to have law enforcement patrolling the lake on boats for 800 hours during the summer, which Chamberlin said is considered to be June 1-Sept. 15.
“In past summers, the former lake patrol has patrolled 1,000 hours, but sometimes it was only 500 because of lack of staff or inclement weather,” said Chamberlin.
