The James Logan Courier

By Ranjana Prasad, Courier Staff Writer

Complaints about Logan students jaywalking, particularly in the morning at the intersection of Alvarado Niles Boulevard and H Street where some have been crossing through the middle of the intersection, have spurred the school and Union City police to announce increased enforcement of anti-jaywalking laws.

In addition to crossing streets outside of crosswalks, local motorists have complained about student who have been crossing when it is not their turn to cross.

CHICAGO — When Amar Bhatia was weighing his postsecondary options, he chose Indiana University over DePaul University because DePaul's downtown Chicago campus was just too close to Mom and Dad.

Now, as a sophomore, he's even closer — at Harper Community College, a five-minute drive from his Palatine, Ill., home. "It's like being a senior all over again," said the 2008 Fremd High School graduate.

Domination. That is the word that summarizes the Colts play on Friday night. We were victorious over Irvington by a score of 36-6. This was a great way to open up our league schedule.

Henry Chadwick (October 5, 1824 – April 20, 1908), often called the "father of baseball," was a sportswriter, baseball statistician and historian.

Born in Exeter, England, and raised on cricket, Chadwick was one of the prime movers in the rise of baseball to its unprecedented popularity at the turn of the 20th century. Chadwick moved to Brooklyn with his family at the age of 12, and became a frequent player of early ball games such as rounders. He began covering cricket for numerous local newspapers such as the Long Island Star. It is said Chadwick first came across baseball in 1856 in New York as a young cricket reporter, while watching a match between New York's Eagle and Gotham clubs. In 1857 he focused his attention as a journalist and writer on baseball after joining the New York Clipper. A keen amateur statistician and professional writer, he helped sculpt the public perception of the game, as well as providing the basis for the records of team's and player's achievements in the form of baseball statistics.
