Name: Jackson Haag Year: senior Hometown: Hinsdale When did you first start playing hockey? When I was 5 years old. My mom took me to a learn-to-skate thing at Darien Sportsplex.

The combination of skating and then skill with the stick I like a lot. How is it coming back after a...

I smile more to gain ... less. As cheesy as it may sound, I have just started smiling more. (To be honest, my life is pretty great right now). I smile when I wake up early in the morning, when I see the sun rising, when I am preparing dinner, when I am spending time with people I love. I smile when I walk to my car and take in a view of the sky, albeit knowing I will be driving my kids around for the next three hours to activities. However, I can take this time to talk with th...
Joanne Smith, president and CEO of Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, was a noted physician and the driving force behind the transformation of care delivery in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation. But her husband, Rory Repicky, said she still was very much the unassuming, fun-loving girl he met working in a hospital emergency room in Pontiac, Mich., while in college. "Out here, she always went by Mrs. Repicky. Most people didn't even know she was a doc," he said. She...

After covering Hinsdale school districts for almost 30 years, I didn't realize how exciting the job of superintendent is until last week. "It is really, really, really, really fun and cool," said Megan Monteleone, a sixth-grader at Hinsdale Middle School whose parents won the "Superintendent for a Day" item at an Elm School fundraising auction last year. "I knew he did a lot of stuff in the district, but I wasn't really sure what he did," said Megan, who spent the day with...
Christmas certainly has its cast of villains, from Ebenezer Scrooge tormenting Bob Cratchit to Scut Farkas beating Ralphie up on his way home from school. Many of them are thieves. There’s the Grinch, clearing out presents from under the tree, emptying fridges and stuffing trees up the chimney. And the Burgermeister Meisterburger from “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town,” confiscating gifts from children and imprisoning families who allow Kris Kringle to visit. We can’t forget Harry and Marv, the pair of burglars in “Home Alo...

Why have Christmas cards endured as a holiday tradition? In 1943, according to London's Victoria and Albert Museum, an artist was commissioned to create 1,000 engraved holiday cards by Sir Henry Cole, who would later become the museum's first director. Recipients saw a joyful family toasting the holidays and flanked by images of charitable acts. A caption read, "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You." The gesture is believed to have launched the practice of exchanging...
