Sadly, it will go on without Dan Wheldon as well. His death at Las Vegas in the final race of the 2011 season was one of the top sports stories of the year. It was not the way the IndyCar series wanted to gain attention, that’s for sure.

Maybe one day the series, featuring Nazareth’s Marco Andretti, will return to Pocono, but for now the closest venue to the Lehigh Valley for the series is Baltimore. The series returns there for a second race on Labor Day weekend in 2012.

Drug testing for student athletes will continue in the North Baltimore school district. The school board voted last night to pay a little more than $10,000 to the Wood County Educational Service Center to conduct the testing. The money for the tests will come out of the general fund.

The Courier reports a three-year grant had been paying for the program, but that expired at the end of the last school year. Athletes who fail a drug test are suspended from their sport and must attend educational programs.
