@Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com
The Niles Police Department was devastated last week when three men affiliated with the department were struck when an alleged drunk driver going in the opposite direction swerved into their lane and hit them head-on. The crash occurred about 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 12 on a highway in Kerrville, Texas, about 65 miles northwest of San Antonio. The men were members of the Chicago chapter of the Thin Blue Line Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club, which is comprised of active and retired law enforcement officers and military service members. Joseph Paglia, a retired Niles detective and president of the Chicago chapter, and Michael White, a former community service officer and secretary of the Chicago chapter, were

gLVc postpones most fall sports The Great Lakes Valley Conference’s (GLVC) Council of Presidents has voted to postpone the majority of the 2020 fall intercollegiate athletics season until the second semester, due to ongoing concerns of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The GLVC is the conference of Lewis University. The decision was made based on guidance from the league’s athletics directors and an extensive review of
the recommended testing and safety measures developed by the NCAA Sport Science Institute. The fall sports of football, men’s and women’s soccer, and volleyball will have regular-season competition and GLVC Championships conducted in the second semester, while the sports of men’s and women’s cross country will still be permitted to compete this fall with the 2020 GLVC Cross Country Champi-
onships slated for Oct. 24. Men’s and women’s golf and tennis will also be allowed to compete in their nonchampionship segments in the fall and continue their season into the spring when their respective championship seasons begin. In addition, several winter sports are scheduled to begin their 2020-21 seasons as early as September. The sports of women’s bowling, men’s and women’s swimming and div-
ing, and men’s and women’s indoor track and field will be permitted to compete as scheduled, while the Conference has established Oct. 1 as the deadline to determine the competition start date for the sports of men’s and women’s basketball and wrestling. Furthermore, the spring sports of baseball and softball will be permitted to have only intrasquad competition on campus in the fall, while men’s and women’s lacrosse will be restricted from all competition until second semester. The distinction between the sports stems from the sport classification put forth by the NCAA Sport Science Institute, based on a consensus by the NCAA COVID-19 Advisory Panel and the American
Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) COVID-19 Working Group. Bowling, golf, swimming and diving, tennis, and track and field were classified as low contact risk sports, while baseball, cross country, and softball were deemed medium contact risk. The NCAA believes low and medium contact risk sports can successfully implement physical distancing and universal masking practices during all sport activities; however, the level of risk in cross country and track and field are dependent upon the student-athlete’s proximity to other unmasked individuals. The sports in which those safety practices are deemed highly unlikely by the NCAA, including

We d n es day, JU LY 2 9 , 2 0 2 0 | b u g l e n e w spap e r s. c o m | pag e 3 ‘ tragedy ’ from page 1 killed along with Jerry Wayne Harbour, a retired Army lieutenant colonel from Houston. Sgt. Joseph Lazo, 39, of the Niles Police Department was severely injured and remains hospitalized in Texas with injuries to his left leg. The driver of the car, 28-year-old Ivan Robles Navejas, who is reportedly living in the United States illegally, was arrested on the scene. According to a statement from the Kerr County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page, he is being held on “several counts of intoxicated manslaughter and intoxication assault,” “Please keep our brothers with the Thin Blue Line Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club in ya’lls prayers,” the post read. “The Kerr County Sheriff’s Office prays for all their families and friends.” Lazo’s sister, Jenni Ward said he
has already gone through a lot in an attempt to fix his critically injured leg. “He had a 12-hour surgery initially to try and repair his leg and he has rods and screws and at this time, they are just monitoring how well the leg will heal,” she said. “We just don’t know at this point what the outcome will be.” She said that Lazo is staying positive despite all that has happened. “He is in good spirits and just wants to get back up this way,” Ward said. “The hospital has no visitors because of COVID, so as much as we wanted to jump on a plane and get there for him, we can’t get in. All we can do is talk to him on the phone. “He knows he will have to go right into Lutheran General Hospital, but at least he will be here — home.” Lazo, was with White and Paglia, who was his best friend according to Ward, and the rest of the group in Bandera, Texas to celebrate the
group’s 11th birthday. “What the group rides for and does fundraisers for is for fallen and injured police officers, so the irony of it is unreal,” Ward said. Lazo became an officer following in the footsteps of his father, Bob, who is a retired Chicago Police Officer. “The two things that are his life are being a police officer and being in the motorcycle group. Lazo’s family has set up a GoFundMe, which as of press time raised nearly $40,000. Those wishing to donate can do so at https://www.gofundme.com/f/ critically-injured-niles-police-sgtjoseph-lazo

by today’s news with meaningful opportunities to engage with their teammates and coaches throughout the fall semester to prepare for the planned return to competition in the spring. The GLVC and all 15 of our member institutions remain committed to prioritizing the health and welfare for all students, faculty, and staff, as well as, for the citizens that reside in the community that supports each school.” Dr. Robert Manuel, University of Indianapolis President and Chair of the GLVC Council of Presidents,
echoed those sentiments: “I want to express my sincere gratitude to the GLVC Council of Presidents and league athletics directors for the leadership they have shown during the vetting and decisionmaking process during these challenging times,” said Manuel. “The health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches, administrators, fans, and those in our campus communities has been, and will continue to be, paramount throughout these unprecedented times.” The GLVC becomes the 11th of
the 23 NCAA Division II conferences to postpone fall competition. The NCAA has yet to determine the final status of its fall national championships. The GLVC’s scheduling committee will soon begin to determine second-semester, regular-season schedule models for all affected sports with health and safety, as well as, institutional facility, personnel, and cost-containment measures in mind. In addition, dates and locations for all GLVC Championships will be announced at a later date.
