On a night where the 3-pointers weren't dropping with any regularity and shooting in general was a bit off, St. Charles East's girls basketball team kicked in another phase of its game during Monday's Class 4A regional tournament opener against Lake Park. Clinging to a 26-21 halftime advantage, the Saints (17-11) turned up their full-court defensive pressure and forced 14 third-quarter turnovers during a 23-13 surge that helped extend the lead to 49-34. From there, St. Charles East put the game away with 10 fourth-quarter free throws during their 67-49 victory over the Lancers (1-27). http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130211/news/702119723/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130211/news/702119723/ Mon, 11 Feb 2013 23:02:45 -0500 A 36-year-old professional orchestra that appeared to be playing its last note at the College of DuPage is getting an encore. College officials have agreed to give the New Philharmonic orchestra a 3-concert season in 2013-14 after receiving letters and emails from patrons upset that the 80-member ensemble might have given its final curtain call at a January concert. The orchestra had been performing at the college's McAninch Arts Center in Glen Ellyn until this season, when a $35 million renovation project began that forced the orchestra to schedule concerts off-campus. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130211/sports/702119647/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130211/sports/702119647/ Mon, 11 Feb 2013 22:39:31 -0500 St. Charles East won 67-49 over Lake Park in opening-round girls regional basketball action Monday night in St. Charles. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130211/business/702119930/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130211/business/702119930/ Mon, 11 Feb 2013 10:02:20 -0500 Kukec's People features Buffalo Grove's Maryse Gregoire, who has worked for Allstate for 39 years and recently won the Outstanding Employee Volunteer of the Year award with her community work.
