"Four quarters of football, that's all we've got." Through a tremendous season, the 11u Silver Falcons had some great games. However, prior to the Super Bowl on Sunday, the team had yet to connect for four full quarters of perfect offensive, defensive and special team football. At the start of last week, the Falcons set out to achieve one goal: four quarters of perfect football. Despite unfavorable temperatures, extreme winds and delays, the Falcons came with their signature...

Sometimes the best therapy comes from a four-legged friend. "Whether we realize it or not, they are good therapy. Animals have a calming effect and that's one of the benefits of a pet with a veteran or anybody who has anxiety or PTSD or suffers from any of those types of conditions," said Andrea Wendlandt, pet therapy/veteran program manager at the Hinsdale Humane Society. "Pets are soothing and calming and there have been studies that have been done to show those effects...
The blustery winds of the weekend for the most part didn't create much problems throughout the village. This tree on the west side of Park Street just south of Eighth, however, didn't make the cut and came crashing down Saturday morning. Several other village trees sustained broken limbs and 10 are on the schedule to be removed due to wind damage. (Jim Slonoff photo)...
How has acting enriched your high school experience? An eccentric, sanctimonious woman with an alcohol problem? That's a character Mickey Norton can sink her teeth into. The Hinsdale Central senior gets to show off her acting chops as Mrs. Peacock in the drama club's production of "Clue: On Stage" Nov. 17-19 in the school's auditorium (see Page XX for details). "I'm an old lady who's batty and prone to hysterics," Norton related. "I can be wild as her." A longtime fan of the 1...

OK everyone, take a deep breath. The election is finally over. We can now return to normal TV commercials and less-crammed mailboxes, and the internet can go back to inundating us with the old, useless information it did prior to the election. I can't help but laugh at the entire campaign process, though. Not only did I receive countless texts from both sides either pleading their case or slamming the other side's, in several instances I also personally received messages addre...
I never asked my dad, who's been gone 20 years, about the time he spent in the Army in Korea. He served there between 1958 and 1960, a good five years after the war ended. I found a photo album after my mom passed away filled with pictures of his time in the service. I wish I could look at it with him. I didn't want to make that same mistake with my birth father, Bob Short. He has shared some stories about his time in the Marines in Vietnam with me since we first got in...

Many are living and many are deceased. They are the 198 veterans profiled in this year’s Veterans Day special section. When we ran our first pages in 2015 honoring these men and women, we had 72 submissions. That n...
When Chris Black finished high school at age 17, the Carbondale resident said he didn't think twice about what would come next. "It was natural for me to go on to SIU (Southern Illinois University)," Black said. But it didn't take long for Black to realize that while he wasn't quite ready for academia, he also didn't want to stick around town. That's when he made the decision to "see the world" as a member of the U.S. Marine Corps. Over the next several years Black did see...
