Caught in the middle of the dangerous and often violent circumstances are the innocent children who live there, many of whom are taken at young ages and forced to become child sol- diers — or worse. One local organization is doing its part to help the children who have been affected by those situations, and save those who haven’t, by “Improving the future of the world … one child at a time,” as its slogan says.

BY BENJAMIN R. KIPP VILLAGER SPORTS CORRESPONDENT WOODSTOCK — In the first of a double-header at the Bentley Sports Complex in Woodstock, Montville cruised to a 12-3 win over the local Tri-Town Legion baseball team Saturday, July 5. Montville pitcher Mitchell Furber threw a complete game, striking out seven good guys while only giving up three runs, giving him the well deserved win. “Mitchell has been steady all season long,” said Montville head coach Ken Furber. “He gets the ball around the plate and throws pretty good.” Montville also wasted no time scoring runs, grabbing a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first.

Demonstrate Your Self-Confidence; Test Drive the New Hyundai Genesis - It’s a Winner
BY KEITH GRIFFIN
Brighter minds than mine have pondered this philosophical question: how do you convince people Hyundai can produce a near-luxury car? The best answer to that is forget every negative thought you have about the brand and test drive the 2009 Hyundai Genesis. With the Genesis (first being introduced as a sedan and later as a coupe – much like the Honda Accord), Hyundai has a vehicle that comfortably sets its sights on and beats the Lexus ES 350, Pontiac G8, Cadillac CTS and Chrysler 300C. It even manages to meet or beat what Hyundai calls its image target competitors: Lexus GS, Infiniti M, BMW 5-series, and Mercedes E-class. There’s the crux of the problem. This truly is a luxury car that is packed full of technol- ogy found on cars costing tens of thousands of dollars more. But, at $42,000 for its top- of-the-line model with all the bells and whistles, this is not a car with a luxury price tag. Plus, let’s be honest. There are people out there who are not comfortable being trend- setters. They want to demonstrate their The 2009 Hyundai Genesis is a distinctive near-luxury sedan that is going to change your perceptions about the Korean automaker.
