| Men’s tennis suffers first D-III loss at feet of Lords
Men's tennis may have been back to playing DIII this weekend, but that doesn't mean the squad was on easy street. With back-to-back matches against tough regional foes, the Maroons (4–2) started the weekend with a 6–3 win Friday to give 11th-ranked Denison (0–1) its first loss of the season. Saturday saw a match post the same score, but the Maroons come out on the losing end to undefeated Kenyon (6–0), ranked sixth in the Central Region and 23rd in the nation. “They're ranked 23rd, but they definitely played better than that," said first-year Will Zhang about Kenyon. This weekend marked a repeat of last year's trip to Ohio when the Maroons squared off against the same foes. Dropping both of those matches sent the South Siders back to the Buckeye state this time around looking for payback.
Coles County property records go online
CHARLESTON - People can save themselves a phone call or a trip to the courthouse to find information on property in Coles County, and that's what two county officials say is the big advantage to a new online records system.A Web site, www.fikeandfike.com/propertytax/coles, lets someone at a personal computer see much of the information on a piece of property that would be available by contacting a county office, Treasurer George Edwards and Supervisor of Assessment Jean Tipsword said."For a long time, it's been my goal to have public access," Tipsword said. "I feel like this is a beginning."People preparing their income tax returns can access the system as a quick way to find out how much they paid in property taxes to calculate deductions, Edwards said. Tipsword added that real estate brokers, appraisers and attorneys can now get some information they need without having to visit or call the courthouse for it.The information is still available by contacting county offices directly, the two officials said, but now someone can get to it when the offices aren't open.After accessing the system, information can be found by typing in an address or the parcel number the county uses for its records.
