Five questions with ... Chris Evans of Harrisburg

Q. Are farmers in southern Illinois in better shape crop-wise than we were in June? It depends on the area. Some didn't get all their ground planted. We have a potential for a really good crop. We've had some cool weather, and with the rain last Monday and this Monday, it helps. We're set up to have a good crop, but if you planted crops late, you set yourself back.

Five questions with ... Richard Rumsey of Harrisburg

Q. Why is Independence Day important to you? Rumsey: I had a father who fought in World War II, and I think his generation was one of our greatest generations. It's very important to me that he was there to serve in the European Theater. I think a lot about things like that on July 4. He never said much about it, other than he said war is not good. I'm thankful for him and all of our men and women who have stood up and fought for our freedom.

Four questions with ... Cathy Wall of Harrisburg

Q. Education Secretary Betsy Devos said larger class sizes would let districts better compensate highly qualified teachers. As a high school teacher, what is your opinion? Cathy Wall: From an academic standpoint, large class sizes are a problem. There's very limited time, and the more kids you put in the mix, the harder it is. If I have 25 kids and 50 minutes, I have two minutes per kid if I don't lecture at all. It really limits how often students can respond to me or one another.
