Lisle residents still waiting to go home after flood
The “flood journey” that began April 18 drags on for many who make their home at the Towers at Four Lakes in Lisle.

Hawks’ best players were invisible in Game 2
If the Hawks are to rebound from Saturday’s horrendous effort and regain control of the Western Conference semifinal series with the Red Wings, it’s not going to be Stalberg who makes the difference.

The Hawks’ top four defensemen — Duncan Keith, Niklas Hjalmarsson, Brent Seabrook an Nick Leddy — all were minus-2 in Saturday’s 4-1 loss in Game 2.

Be wary of side effects from over-the-counter meds
Headaches, a nagging sore hip, a stiff neck after a day at the computer. These are prompts that send me to my medicine cabinet to pop a couple of Tylenol or ibuprofen. I throw these back without a whit of concern because I've been doing so for years. Many Americans have gotten so comfortable using over-the-counter pain meds that they overlook the very real danger of serious side effects.
