Wiccans get out of building contract

HOOPESTON – When Hoopeston resident Faye Troxel went to Bible study Wednesday morning, the conversation drifted to a topic that has captured people's attention the last few weeks: whether a Wiccan school is coming to town.

"It's my understanding that it's still coming," Troxel said. "I feel that they just said they're not coming to calm the storms, and they intend to come anyway. ... We're just praying for God to intervene. I don't want it to come to Hoopeston. I don't know of any Christian churches that want it to come."
