On March 26, Lone Peak High School senior Kegan Babick signed a letter of commitment to play strong safety for the Wheaton College football program. This year, Babick was a standout running back and defensive back for the Big Horns.

Babick said that the Christian liberal arts school in Illinois has always been at the top of his list of colleges he wanted to attend. His mom went there, his uncle wrestled there, and his friend will be team captain next year. “When I visited [Wheaton], I knew that it was the place for me.”

Babick transferred to LPHS this year from southern California. “It was great to have him, if only for one year,” said Adam Farr, head coach for the Big Horns football team. “When I found out we were getting a 205 lb. fast, super-strong addition to the team, it was a good day.”

“I’m happy that he ended up choosing a Christian school. I just know that he will find men and mentors there that will enlarge his worldview,” said Kim Babick, Kegan’s mother. “People don’t realize how international Wheaton [College] is. There are students and teachers from almost every country in the world.”

“Wheaton is getting a good one, and we were lucky to have him, too,” said LPHS Principal Alex Ide. “He brings a lot of character to the field and he knows how to compete.”

Athletic Director John Hannahs also complimented Babick’s character and athletic prowess: “It’s always great to have one of our athletes go on to play at the next level. And I think Kegan has all the tools to succeed in college athletics as well.”

Babick intends to major in the Applied Health Science program and he will also receive a scholarship for participating in the ROTC program. After graduation, the talented footballer says he is considering joining the military.

The senior said he has already received a detailed workout regimen specifically geared towards his position. Babick will report for preseason training in early August.

Event Details

It’s that time of year again! The seasons are starting to change and it’s almost time to assist our bodies in making those changes and setting ourselves up for a healthy winter season. In the summer heat builds up in the tissues of our body and begins to dry things out. As we move into cooler temperatures our body tends to produce excess mucous in order fight against that dryness. The excess mucous becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses to take over. When we take the time to do a cleanse it allows ourselves the opportunity to flush the excess heat, mucous, and toxins that have built up in our bodies. The community cleanse utilizes the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda in order to help detoxify the body and reboot the digestive system, and going through the process with a community of others makes it all that much easier to get through it successfully. It is not a time of starvation or deprivation, we eat 3 (or 4) meals each day and take specific herbs to assist the process of releasing toxins. It is a systematic 2 week process that starts with preparing your body to go through the cleansing process (a 4 day pre-cleanse), doing the main cleanse (7 days), and then restoring your body to get back to eating your regular diet (a 3 day post cleanse). It is designed to be a 2 week cleanse, but it can be customized to the length of time that you are able to commit to. And on that same note, if this timing doesn’t work for you, please contact Callie to discuss other options. If a mini cleanse without all the herbs sounds more doable for you this is another option you can discuss with Callie.

Callie Stolz, C.A.S., P.K.S., Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist and Pancha Karma (cleansing) Specialist, will be leading this two week community cleanse. There will also be yoga detox classes offered in combination with the cleanse in order to assist in the process.

What it includes: digestive herbs (specific to your needs), 4 cleansing and rejuvenativing herbal formulas, 7 days worth of the Ayurvedic cleansing food, other recipes, a booklet of information on the step by step process, 3 meetings and daily email support through the process. We will meet the week prior to distribute all the items needed for the cleanse and have a meeting about the details (if the designated time doesn’t work for you other arrangements can be made).

Callie will be explaining more about the cleanse and how we work with some of the basic principles of Ayurveda during the Awareness Wednesday seminar on September 18th at 7:00. If you are interested in doing the cleanse and you haven’t done it before, it is important to come this seminar to learn more about it and these Ayurvedic principles, and to see if it would be a good fit for you. If you aren’t able to make it to the talk, but you have questions and would like to have a meeting to discuss the cleanse and get set up it will be an additional $75 fee.

Regular price (after September 18th):
Repeat Cleansers $250; First Timers $275
Additional items also available (herbs, a tongue cleaner, dry body brush, etc.)
