On Monday, LDN's Curtis Fox was out
flying with a friend over Mason County and the Illinois River. Fox
caught an amazing sight, the migration of snow geese by tens of
thousands landing on the Illinois River backwaters and the nearby
Emiquon Nature Preserve. The white "islands" in the photo on the
right are geese that have landed on the river. In the photo on the
left are hundreds more, still aloft, but preparing to take their
rest. Fox said the airplane was flying at an altitude of about
2,500, the lowest allowed over a nature preserve, offering the
unique perspective of seeing the birds from above.

This group of young athletes
represents the East Team that participated in the debut of the YBN
All-State Classic Basketball Tournament held at Lincoln College over
this past weekend. The East Team walked away with the tournament
championship winning all four of the games they played.
This was a great experience for the players and for our community.
Organizers are excited to see it return next year and look forward
to building on the great success they experienced in their inaugural
event.

The Hartem Stags did it again! A
three-peat if you will. Just like the Chicago Bulls of the '90s, the
Stags 7th Grade Volleyball Team made it their second three-peat of
the decade. The Stags won in 2011, 2012 and 2013 before taking a
couple of years off and bouncing back to claim the 7th grade title
in 2016, 2017 and now 2018.
Congratulations girls!
