Bridging the gap in education Financial stopgap passage provides Illinois with a budget ... for the time being

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON/SPRING VALLEY — Area superintendents are pleased with the stopgap measure temporarily halting the budget impasse in Illinois, but they are nowhere near fully satisfied.

Jim Hermes, superintendent at John F. Kennedy Elementary School in Spring Valley, said the

district has lost close to $1,000,000 over the last seven years, resulting in less staff members and programs. With the stopgap measures, Hermes said they are expecting a little over $160,000.

He added the school district has always managed to budget appropriately through smart spending because a bare bones schedule offers few financial breaks.

“Just because we receive this new money doesn’t mean we’ll spend carelessly — we’ll just do what we’ve done in the past — but this will help us provide the consistent and quality education we’ve given over the years,” Hermes said, stating his biggest fear is failing the students his educational facility represents.

Hermes said he’d like to see more money for

education because years in the red sends less bus tires rolling down the road to transport future school teachers, doctors and astronauts to the prerequisites of their future careers.

“The state funds a lot of important social programs, and few would disagree education should always be on the forefront; but when it comes to cuts and budgets, the system is broken,” he said, add-

ing Illinois citizens are not broken with their ability and desire to produce results, but they are currently like children trying to intercede between screaming parents.

“There are a lot of examples of states out there that are doing the right thing and creating revenue, and I don’t want to see good people leaving Illinois. I want our graduates to come back

to the Illinois Valley, but when even the colleges are afraid of closing their doors, local kids choose colleges out of state just because those schools will stay open.”

Princeton Elementary School Superintendent Tim Smith had a few words to describe the situation … relieved, but not yet refreshed.

Sangston said they have not pinpointed why everything failed, having gone over several different possibilities, but obviously there were some electrical issues.

PRINCETON — Casey’s General Store is assembling plans to build a new location on the north side of Princeton.

The Princeton City Council approved a resolution Tuesday, July 5, that will allow construction of a new commercial access on Route 26.

According to a map included with the resolution, it shows the location of the new business being on the corner of North Main Street and Ace Road.

Commissioner Ray Mabry said the work for the commercial entrance will be done at no cost to the city, and the proposed work will not be performed by employees of the city.

In other news: • Princeton City Manager Rachel Skaggs reported on the total hotel/motel tax monies received for Fiscal Year 201516, which ended on April 30.

The total taxes received was $133,869.51, which was a total increase of about $12,000 over the same time period last fiscal year.

• Skaggs also reported on the sales tax for FY 2016-17, which so far, only includes the month of May. During this month, the city collected a total of $158,298.47, which is a decrease of about $3,100 compared to May 2015.

Spring Valley rehabilitating emergency alarm system

SPRING VALLEY — During the Spring Valley City Council meeting Tuesday, July 5, Spring Valley Police Chief Kevin Sangston tackled the issue of faulty emergency sirens Year 170 No. 81 One Section - 20 Pages

during recent storms.

Sangston said last week during the heavy storms, the city experienced a failure of the tornado sirens, as well as the fire sirens. They had radios and a dispatcher go out, as well as an issue with the control radio in the basement of the police

station. One of the speakers at Baltikauski Park blew out, and an electrical issue with the Webster Park siren caused the breaker to be tripped repeatedly.

“The system is back up and working, and residents will hear the sirens tested the first Tuesday of every

month,” Sangston said, noting the fire siren, tornado siren and radio equipment were all rehabbed.

“We installed new software and new parts, and although it’s not working as efficiently as intended, we do have all four sirens functioning right now in

Tiskilwa Historical Society turns 10 on the 10th

TISKILWA — On Sunday, July 10, the community is invited to join Tiskilwa Historical Society in celebrating the 10th anniversary of its founding with a concert and picnic at the Museum on Main.

In the years since that summer evening in 2006 when several friends sat around a dining room table and decided to get the ball rolling, the organization has grown into a thriving, vital part of the community. Ever since that date, the society has been focused on collecting, preserving and displaying items from Tiskilwa and vicinity. The collection now totals more than 5,000 Tiskilwa-connected artifacts all housed in the Museum on Main, the former Methodist Church building donated by the Methodist congregation in 2010.

The festivities will begin at 4 p.m. with a hammered dulcimer concert presented by musician Ali Coyer and Friends. The joyful bluegrass music of dulcimer and guitars will echo through the air-conditioned comfort of the museum’s community room. An electric chairlift is available for those who have trouble using stairs. The pro-

gram is free, and community members of all ages are welcome to attend.

Following the concert around 5 p.m., THS Board members will have the grills fired up and ready to serve hot dogs, chips, baked beans and dessert. With picnic tables provided by Tiskilwa Community Association, there will be plenty of seating, but bringing along a lawn chair or blanket is a good idea too. The picnic is for everyone, members and non-members alike. Anyone who’d like to help defray the costs can drop a few dollars in the blue coffee pot marked “donations.”

In case of rain or steamy weather, the museum’s neighbor, Tiskilwa Public Library, will be open for those who want to take their picnic to the community room across the street.

Throughout the evening, those who have not yet seen the special exhibit “Glory Days” might want to spend some time in the Timeline Hallway and maybe even drift around the other galleries.

Looking ahead to August, here’s a Pow Wow Days note of special interest to owners of classic rides. On Saturday,

Chromebooks headed to BV junior high BV Board looks at state budget constraints

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

MANLIUS — Bureau Valley junior high teachers are preparing to introduce Google Chromebooks to their classrooms beginning in August.

In April, the Bureau Valley School Board approved the purchase of Chromebooks to all junior high students at a cost not to exceed $60,000. The district has also been working on infrastructure upgrades for the technology to be used in the older school buildings.

At the June regular board meeting, BV Board President Rick Cernovich asked for an update on how training with the Chromebooks was going for the junior high teachers.

Kristal LeRette, principal at BV South in Buda, confirmed they are working on figuring out how they will incorporate the new technology and explained it wouldn’t be a quick change.

“Any time you make a change, especially a big change like this, you can’t expect things to be done overnight. So the first year, or even two, you’re going to

see a transition where there are going to be little steps toward using Chromebooks more and more,” she said.

LeRette said it will take time for teachers to use the Chromebooks for developing curriculum and using them as a primary and secondary source.

“There are not many teachers who actually at the start of the year are going to put their entire curriculum on them. It takes time,” she said.

It was discussed how junior high teachers are turning toward the high school teachers for training on how to utilize the technology for teaching purposes.

Many teachers are also relying on administration to provide more professional development on the devices.

As for parents and students, the district plans to send out a letter on July 13 explaining the purchase of the Chromebooks and how they will be used in the classroom. Also, BV Superintendent Steve Endress is also putting together a training video about the devices that parents will watch at registration.

Smith and his cohorts must still whittle away at the substantial losses they’ve endured, cutting staff and programs like every other district in Illinois because the stopgap measure does nothing to recapture the millions the district has already lost.

PRINCETON — Many citizens have expressed concerns about the recent work conducted on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad crossing on North Main Street, and how the railroad tracks seem to be a rougher patch to drive over.

Mayor Joel Quiram posted an update of the project on his Joel Quiram Mayor of Princeton Facebook page on Monday, July 4. In the update, Quiram said there was a lack of communication with the city on what the railroad crossing project entailed.

“It was not, as most people thought, to replace the platform in order to make the crossing smoother,” he stated.

dug a pretty deep hole, and it’ll take more than this to earn the people’s trust back … but at least it’s a step in the right direction.”

Smith said he’s encouraged by the education budget — but now the state actually has to pay it.

“They need to put this to work and hopefully build off of this to create budgets in future fiscal years that are more responsible, both on the expenditure and the revenue side,” Smith said, pointing to the old adage, “Promise them death and they’ll accept pain,” in relaying where Illinois residents currently stand.

“In Illinois, we wait until the waning hours for a hold harmless budget, and we’re ecstatic because our

“We’re excited to raise money for the Bureau County United Way.”

“It was, in fact, a safety issue.

They had to replace a defective rail on the south set of (the) tracks.”

Quiram said work on the south tracks left the north tracks higher than the south, which has caused the rough patch.

Quiram said the railroad company is recommending to Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) that they raise the south tracks to help level out the crossing.

Quiram said IDOT will have to approve the project because it will require closing the crossing for another week.

If the project is approved, the work will likely take anywhere between one to three weeks to complete once it begins, he stated.

the Bureau County United Way. “We know funding for community programs is hard to come by, and we want to do our part to help make sure these programs remain available,” said Jason Leifheit, owner at Prescott Brothers of Princeton. “We’re excited to raise money for the Bureau County United Way.” The event, which will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., will feature many vehicles from Ford’s line-up. “Whether you are looking to test out our fuel efficiency vehicles, like the Focus, or want to try out technology features like Active Park Assist in the Escape, we will be able to put you behind the wheel of your favorite Ford vehicle,” said Leifheit. Dealership staff on site will be able to assist with all Ford vehicles and provide additional information about each vehicle available for test drive.

Participants must be 18 or older and have a valid driver’s license. There is a limit of one test drive per household. All test drives will last approximately 5 to 7 minutes.

But it’s a dry heat Being in the midst of summer, heat is at the forefront of my mind. I was hesitant to write about it, mainly because I dread sounding like an old man — crotchety and complaining about how hot it is during the summer months.

But my relationship with the sun, often Dave regarded as warm and nurturing, Cook feels more like a COMMENTARY history of punishment. For many years I worked outside in warmer desert climates ... much warmer. Wait, warm isn’t the right adjective; let’s try something more dramatic, such as scorching, sweltering or blistering. I always felt the sun was so hot there, it should be making a noise, like a blast furnace.

I think back on my earlier years, when I spent my days repairing air conditioners, and wonder how I made it. I became quite good at the process of surviving the work day ... day after day, week after week, for months on end, in desert summers more severe and longer than Midwestern summers.

It was a long grind. The 100-degree days begin in May, and I remember trick-or-treating with my children with temperatures still well into the 90s.

By the time it cooled down I was always exhausted and underweight. I’d spend the next few months recovering and trying to gain it back before the heat returned. I did it 12 times before deciding I’d had enough and could no longer safely continue.

I’m quite happy to be inside now much of the time, sheltered from the sun’s unforgiving beatings. It can be hot here, there’s no doubt, for there is little comfort to be had in the middle of a corn field. But it reminds me of how bad it can be and why I chose to leave the desert and head toward a land of four seasons.

Many believe those extreme days in the Southwest are comparable to our hot days because of what is referred to as “a dry heat.” Trust me, there is no comparison. The only way I can describe it is to compare it to a cold Midwestern winter. A 120-degree day in the desert is like a bitterly cold, 30 degrees below zero day here.

Dry heat applies to those days in March when humidity is incredibly low. Those are pleasant days, but adding another 25 to 30 degrees or more, along with humidity from short evening storms results in an oppressive level of heat. Even late at night temperatures remain well above 100.

I often try to help those who work outside and try to share what I learned, often the hard way, over many desert summers. Anything you can do to help your body deal with heat helps you make it to the next day; diet, dress and rest are among the most significant.

I remember safety meetings, almost always conducted by someone who spent their day in comfort, and it was hard not to laugh as symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke were described. It was how I felt every day, it was impossible not to. There would be the occasional days where I’d break down or wake in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, sick from the constant exposure to extreme heat, but it happened to everyone I worked with, no matter the precautions taken.

I have very little tolerance for heat anymore and prefer the cooler seasons, even winter. Every time I see a construction worker, road crew, mail carrier or anyone else earning a living outside on a hot day, I’m sympathetic; my mind returns to those grueling days on rooftops or worse yet, in attics. I still enjoy being outside and need to be, just not during the worst of summer.

I’m more than appreciative of now being able to enjoy air conditioning rather than climbing onto the roof to fix it when it breaks down on the hottest day of the year. It will be moving into milder temperatures before much longer, but until then remember ... stay cool.

It’s more than just a fireworks show

For some people, the Fourth of July is just another holiday with fireworks and parties, but it’s a whole lot more than that.

It’s about the sacrifices made by the men and women of our military and all the people who died for our freedom. It’s about celebrating the freedom we have everyday because of these sacrifices. Some soldiers can’t even stand to watch the fireworks because the sound brings back awful memories of what terrible things happened to them during war. Those soldiers deserve a special thank you and for us to remember what we are celebrating.

So thank you to all the soldiers who fought and who are ready to fight now and who are training to fight if we need you. We don’t even think about how there are soldiers out there now are keeping us safe, so we can sleep soundly at night.

So instead of complaining on the

Autumn Joiner COMMENTARY Fourth of July that the fireworks show you are watching isn’t big enough, or the weather isn’t perfect, be proud and remember what you are celebrating! When you hear our national anthem, stand proud and be proud to be an American; when you see the soldiers in the parades with the flag, stand proud and clap for them because they deserve it!

Our soldiers will never be the same person as they were before they got in the car to leave for the airport to serve our country. They deserve our respect. Those soldiers who want to share their stories, please stop and listen, so you realize what they gave

up, so we have our freedom and independence. Look up to them; they are heroes.

I think every child should learn and be taught the real meaning of the Fourth of July. My mom always reminds us of all the sacrifices made, so we can celebrate the Fourth of July every year and that we are supposed to be one nation under God. I think of all the fireworks going off on the night of July 4th, and think I bet that it is beautiful to see from up above. One nation under God is probably beautiful on the Fourth of July from heaven.

Next time you think it’s just a fireworks show, please remember what you’re celebrating.

TO Letter THE Editor

Who will answer the call?

To the Editor, I can understand the people who were more than disappointed when they went to the Immaculate Conception Church in Spring Valley and saw a sign on the door saying the church will be closed indefinitely.

The parishioners of St. Thomas More felt the same way when the Bishop closed our church. However, the people found out later the church would be one of three churches that Father Fixsen would serve.

I would suggest the people at the Immaculate Conception Church do what the people in Dalzell did to retain the church and the adoration chapel. They tied their belly buttons to their backbone and started working to increase the revenue for the church and the attendance too.

Years ago, they once made tortellinis to sell at their salad bar, so they were eager to start making tortellinis again.

With the help of James Orlandi’s big mixer to mix all the ingredients to make the tortellini, they started making them to sell again. The big mixer was a God send; without it, it would have been difficult to mix all the ingredients to make over a ton of tortellinis that they have been selling, each year to increase the revenue for the church.

The idea of making tortellinis and knowing we could get the big mixer was not enough; you needed people to make the ingredients and then the people to twist the tortellinis into shape ... and this they had with the people from town and other towns that came to help in this endeavor.

Father Fixsen now lives at St. Thomas More in Dalzell,

and even started having a Mass on Sunday at 5:30 p.m., which happened last night, and there were a great many who came to attend Mass.

Father Fixsen not only serves three churches, he says more Masses during the week at St. Thomas More and even now a Mass on Saturday night and Sunday evening, along with serving for the Divine Mercy Chaplet every Friday at 3 p.m. He could say to the Bishop, I have enough work; instead he has taken on more work which is admirable for priests today and to those of us in Dalzell.

I’m disappointed the priest at St. Anthony’s is not able to serve three churches in Spring Valley. It was really two churches he had to serve, The Immaculate Conception and St. Anthony’s because St. Peter and Paul Church has been closed for a long time. And money should not be a problem at St. Anthony’s because they too make and sell tortellinis.

In 1948 a young nun walked out of the convent in the slums of Calcutta and answered a call to serve the “poorest of the poor.” This was quite an accomplishment years ago, and now the Universal Church prepares to celebrate “Mother Therese’s Canonization” on Sept. 4, 2016.

I would like to see a priest at St. Bede answer a call to help the priest at St. Anthony’s to fill in at The Immaculate Conception church in Spring Valley, to serve those who are not able to walk all the way to St. Anthony’s.

Taking a chance at success

Property Transfers

Zeg’s Gaming Parlor offers patrons a chance to cash in

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — Ed Zeglis has brought a new establishment of entertainment and potential profit into Spring Valley, opening Zeg’s Gaming Parlor during the Memorial Day weekend.

Zeglis had been working for a gaming parlor in Peru for about three months, and the owner of that parlor was planning on opening a second location in Spring Valley, leaving Zeglis to run the new shop. As things changed, Zeglis had the opportunity to lease the building from the Peru owner and open a parlor of his own.

“In the beginning it was sort of putting the cart before the horse,” Zeglis said, noting he had to acquire a liquor license from both the city and the state; fill out paperwork and get approved by the gaming board; and apply through a provider for the machines.

“It took four or five months to get started, and it all cost money, but luckily I did get approved the first time around.”

Zeglis said business hasn’t been overwhelming by any

stretch so far, as there are five taverns with machines in town — and one other gaming parlor, so individuals who partake have a number of places to choose from. He said he’s not competing with the taverns because a completely different group of people come into his establishment, looking to use the machines first and foremost.

Zeglis employs different family members at Zeg’s Gaming Parlor, and although he doesn’t have food service, he has tables set up in the front of the room where patrons can order out and eat in.

“Some of the other establishments in the area say if you aren’t 21 you can’t come through the door, but the way I have it established, the machines are separated, so families can all come in,” Zeglis said, having decorated the parlor with Coca-Cola memorabilia collected by his late wife.

He said the day he opened, the first player to spin some slots hit almost $4,000 on a collection of spins. Zeglis called up the machine company and told them he was going to be bankrupt before he even got

“Of course you’ve got to make up that money before you start seeing a profit,” he said, adding there have been a couple $1,000 winners on a single spin so far. He said supposedly the machines pay out around 85 percent of what they take it, but Zeglis’ 15 percent profit has to be shared with the state, the city and the owners of the

machines.

Though he claimed he’s not a gambler, Zeglis and his terminal managers, Lisa Zeglis and Janet Hueneburg, are taking a spin at success with Zeg’s Gaming Parlor.

The business is located at 109 E. St. Paul St. and is open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Sunday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday.

HRRV conducts groundbreaking ceremony

STERLING — Hospice of the Rock River Valley conducted a ground-breaking ceremony for the new hospice home on May 26. The ceremony was held on the land donated by Dick Prescott on which the home will be built, across from Morningside and the Sterling/Rock Falls Family YMCA on North Avenue E in Sterling.

High School Association ihsa.org

The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) board of directors voted to enact new heat safety guidelines for all IHSA postseason contests beginning with the 2016-17 school year.

Officially called “Specific Guidelines for Managing Heat and Heat Illness,” the policy was created by the IHSA Sports Medicine Advisory Committee. It applies only to State Series contests (regionals, sectionals, super-sectionals, state finals, football playoffs), but the IHSA board of directors, staff, sports medicine advisory committee and Illinois Advisory Council on Player Safety encourage all member schools to use the policy as their minimum standard for managing heat at athletic competitions.

“This policy builds on the IHSA’s tradition of putting student-athlete safety at the forefront,” said IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson. “We believe we now have a policy that is very effective in safeguarding student-athletes, however schools are certainly welcome to impose even more stringent guidelines related to regular-season athletic competition in extreme heat if they choose to do so.”

The policy is built upon Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) readings, which take into account factors such as humidity, wind speed, sun angle and cloud cover, in addition to air temperature, and is considered the most effective way of judging dangerous conditions by the Korey Stringer Institute and other industry experts.

As the WBGT rises, the policy builds in different types of safety measures. For example, at a WBGT range of 80.084.5 degrees Fahrenheit, hosts would provide “cooling stations using methods such as ice towels”, while a WBGT range of 87.6-89.9 degrees Fahrenheit would require four separate four-minute water breaks within an hour of competition. At a WBGT of 90, all events would be postponed to a cooler time of day or the next applicable day.

“According to the CDC, heat illness during practice or competition is the leading cause of death among U.S. high school athletes,” said Lindenwood University Department of Athletic Training Chair William Dill (MS, ATC, CSCS), who is a member of the IHSA Sports Medicine Advisory Committee. “The first step for player safety is always prevention and this policy aims to prevent exertional heat illnesses by modifying competitions based on the WBGT. Hopefully, this policy will also raise awareness that exercising in the heat can be dangerous, but good policies can go a long way in protecting student-athletes.”

Anderson stressed that the IHSA board and staff understand there may be initial resistance from coaches that extreme heat could significantly alter playing schedules, especially in sports like baseball, where rest for pitchers is an important part of game-planning. The IHSA piloted the policy during the IHSA Class 3A and Class 4A Baseball

Golfing with grizzlies Golf outing with former Super Bowl champions will assist area veterans

By Eric Engel eengel@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — How great would it be to walk around the greens with former Super Bowl champions and try to sink a putt with the Chicago Bears watching? Show up to Chapel Hill Golf Course Saturday, Aug. 13, to find out.

ServiceMaster DSI’s fourth annual Celebrity Charity Golf Classic will take place on Aug. 13, and former Super Bowl champions from the 1985 Chicago Bears team will be available for a round of golf and a friendly conversation. All money raised through the event will go to supporting veterans in the area.

“The last few years we’ve done it for the Red Cross and the United Way, but this year we mixed it up and went with the Elks Lodge and the Moose Lodge, who are both heavily involved with helping veterans in the Illinois Valley area,” Frankie Wolsfeld said, acting as one of the main organizers of the event through ServiceMaster DSI and Fundraising Innovative Support Team (F.I.S.T.). “It’s great to give veterans the support they deserve but don’t always receive.”

Wolsfeld said the day of the event they’re going to auction off a chance to play 18 holes with one of the former Bears’ players who will attend the event. It won’t be the typical meet and greet where you get an autograph and are on your way, but a day including lunch, 18 holes of golf and dinner

… along with camaraderie with Chicago’s world champions.

“Dinner this year is prime rib cooked by the Chuck Norris Seven, a competitive grilling team who do a fabulous job,” Wolsfeld said, adding Pete Hamilton and the Pigskins will be providing musical entertainment during the dinner. “You’re getting a lot for the $100 entry fee — lunch, dinner, golf, helping out a great cause and hanging out with ‘85 Super Bowl champion Bears.”

There will also be some fun games throughout the day, including a bag toss which will reward the winner with a special edition Chicago Bears bag set. Other games include a marshmallow launch where competitors drive a marshmallow off the tee as far as they can; a chip-in contest to a canoe sitting out in the pond; and a football toss through a hula hoop. All prizes will be autographed by the Bears players.

Wolsfeld said the sooner people get their teams of four signed up the better because the event does fill up fast, and they are looking for sponsorships from local businesses to raise the awareness and the funds for a cause much more important than meeting former sports stars.

“It’s extremely important to have the utmost respect for our vets. My father was a veteran of World War II, and I was raised to respect veterans,” Wolsfeld said. “The things they do are so we can do what we want to, and we need to thank them as much as we can.”

All the proceeds will be split between the Moose Lodge

and the Elks Lodge, who use the money for dinners, awards, Christmas gifts and other things for area veterans throughout the year. Wolsfeld said a lot of people come from out of

State Finals on June 10-11 at Silver Cross Field in Joliet and the Eastside Centre in East Peoria, respectively. The IHSA altered game times to avoid playing during the hottest hours of the day and also added in ice towels and water breaks, among other measures, as the WBGT dictated.

“Even with the extreme temperatures we saw on June 10 and 11, the WBGT never reached the threshold where we had to suspend or postpone play,” said Anderson.

“Much of this policy is really aimed at common sense precautions, or making measures like in-game water breaks that schools were already imploring in hot temperatures a requirement instead of a suggestion.”

The IHSA used a Wet Bulb Globe Thermometer, which can provide an immediate WBGT reading, at both state final sites, however the device, which can range from approximately $100 to $500, is not a requirement to adhere to the IHSA policy. The policy provides a WBGT conversion chart for tournament managers, who can attain the necessary information from most smart phone weather applications.

“It will undoubtedly take some time, resources and training to apply this policy,” said Anderson. “However, we know our schools understand the importance of putting student safety first.

The ‘Play Smart. Play Hard.’ motto is built around that ideal.”

The IHSA established “Play Smart. Play Hard.” in 2015, which is a player-safety initiative aimed at empowering student-athletes, parents, coaches and fans to educate themselves on player safety issues and the steps that have been taken in Illinois to protect student-athletes.

Those efforts included forming a new IHSA committee, the Illinois Advisory Council on Player Safety, who also endorsed the new policy.

“Heat-related illness and death is 100 percent preventable,” said Northwestern University Associate Athletic Director and Director of Athletic Training Services Tory Lindley, who is a member of the Illinois Advisory Council on Player Safety. “I am proud of the IHSA for instituting this policy.

Athletic trainers are now armed with the support needed to direct and educate athletes, coaches and administrators on who is at greatest risk and what actions can be taken to prevent a
