game along faster. There will also be a 12-foot arc limit, to even the playing field. “There’s going to be some old timers playing and probably some women playing and younger kids playing,” LeBeau explained. “So, 12foot is basically just [lobbing] it in there so they can hit it plain as day.” The winner of the tournament will receive a trophy with a picture of Stephanie and Courtney on it. But LeBeau hopes the trophy will be placed in the SSHS trophy case. “Every year we’ll put who won the tournament on the bottom; we’ll just put the team name and it will stay in the school.” Other events planned for the weekend are a horseshoe tournament, music, food, raffles, auctions,
and kid activities including a bouncy house. Events will be held from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. “There’s going to be something for everyone,” said Alexander. “Everybody that finds out wants to help and do something,” LeBeau said. “Which is great.” To sign up a team for the softball tournament, contact LeBeau at 4922089 by Monday, Sept. 1. Drawing for the tournament will be held Tuesday, Sept. 2. At 12 p.m. Saturday there will be a special ceremony in honor of Stephanie and Courtney which will include the National Anthem and the color guards. “The community is not going to let these girls go away,” said Heath.

Run for Jon 2009
Don’t Look Back
Saturday, August 29th at 5 PM at Forrence Orchards, Mannix Road, Peru, NY
The Run for Jon is an annual race held in Peru, NY to raise money for the families of local children with serious medical problems and honor the memory of Jon Evans. In 2008 over 200 participants helped raise over $4,000. In 1990, 13 year-old Jon Evans was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Soon after his diagnosis, two long time friends of the Evans family, Mark Elmore and Scott Woodward, organized the first Run for Jon to raise money to help pay for expenses. Just two weeks before the 2nd Run, Jon passed away. Every year since then, family and friends have held the Run for Jon to raise money for the families of local children with serious medical problems. The race course winds through 2.5 miles of Forrence Orchards in Peru, NY. The walk portion of the event is approximately 1 mile and there is a short fun run for the kids. DIRECTIONS: If you are coming from the north, head south on Route 22B until Mannix Road. Take a right on to Mannix Road and go 3/4 a mile and turn right into Forrence Orchards. If you are coming from the south, head out of the hamlet of Peru on Route 22B and turn left on to Mannix Road. Go 3/4 a mile up Mannix Road and turn right into Forrence Orchards.
