Ventriloquist Mark Wade performs with the help of an IL 4th grade student.
Indian Lake Elementary faculty asked parents Wednesday evening if they have their “A.C.T. Together” as a part of the Anti-Bully Bash held at the Indian Lake High School Auditorium.
Act is an acronym for Ask nicely, Communicate firmly and Tell an adult and that is exactly what the school’s faculty have been teaching their students. It’s also what they are telling the parents to teach their children, which was the purpose for Wednesday evening’s event. (Audio and video interviews included.)

Richard Cooey
Ohio has executed a 5-foot-7, 267-pound double murderer who argued he was too fat to die humanely by lethal injection.
Richard Cooey died at 10:28 a.m. Tuesday at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville.
There were no immediate reports of problems finding suitable veins to deliver the deadly chemicals.
His attorneys had argued that his weight problem could make it difficult for prison staff to access a vein. A prisons spokeswoman said earlier that Cooey received a pre-execution exam and was cleared.
Cooey was the first inmate executed in Ohio in more than a year, and the first since the end of an unofficial national moratorium on executions that began last year while the U.S. Supreme Court reviewed Kentucky's lethal injection procedure.
