Laurel Kling, former president and 12-year member of the Burlington-based Central 301 school board, has filed a slander lawsuit against her supervisor in the Kane County Probation Department. Kling argues that Drug Court supervisor Carrie Thomas told coworkers Kling was "fired" from her post as school board president because Kling was an alcoholic. She seeks more than $50,000 damages and a jury trial.Last Updated May 14, 2013 5:46 PM -

- The Choral-aires Chorus placed second in the Community Teams category raising funds for breast cancer research last month, missing first place by only $25. The chorus raised $3,985 by the time the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure rolled around, with more donations still coming, surpassing their original goal of $3,000. The Choral-Aires has five current chorus members that either have, or have had, breast cancer. And this year, 2 of the team members discovered that their mothers have breast cancer, so they were walking on race day for their moms. One member of our team, Kara Gray, celebrated her 10 years without breast cancer this year. While not a Chorus member, she is the daughter of long-time member Martha Anderson, who also walked with the team on race day. Lindsey Herza
