  • Lower middle class under thumb of GOP May 15, 2013 12:00 AM
    A Lake in the Hills letter to the editor: We started hating the GOP when we realized that Reaganomics equaled a war on the Lower Middle Class (LMC). Before Reagan the vast majority of Americans were LMC workers on farms, factories, mines or vehicle drivers, teachers, nurse's aides and orderlies, etc.

  • St. Edward stays true to form in sectional semi May 14, 2013 12:00 AM
    What has become evident through three postseason games for the St. Edward girls soccer team is that at the very least, seven-goal wins are simply the norm. And Tuesday's win over Woodlands Academy was no exception. Just as they disposed of Elgin Academy (8-0) and Westminster Christian (7-0) similarly last week in regionals, the Green Wave yet again put on a show early in a 7-0 win over the Wildcats in a Class 1A Westminster Christian sectional semifinal in Elgin.

     
  • Crystal Lake South blanks Dundee-Crown May 14, 2013 12:00 AM
    The postseason couldn't have started out any better for the Crystal Lake South girls soccer team. The Gators dominated possession and kept Dundee-Crown from getting any good scoring opportunity Tuesday as CL South defeated the Chargers, 5-0, in the semifinals of the Class 3A Crystal Lake South regional. "It's good motivation to help us get through," said Gators senior Mackenzie Taldone, who scored the final 2 goals. "We've definitely been put as underdogs during the conference so we're definitely going to push through regionals and show people who we actually are."

  •  Hampshire High School senior Danny Heck has been doing video and photography work during his high school career, and hopes to make video his life’s work.

    Hampshire HS senior hopes to make a career out of film May 13, 2013 12:00 AM
    When Danny Heck was in eighth grade, he and his friends made an Indiana Jones movie with a camcorder. He had such a good time it prompted some research into the film industry and how one could go about breaking into it. Heck, now a senior at Hampshire High School, has worked with Nicole Thompson, the high school librarian, and the District 300 Foundation over the last year on videos for school and district events. "That's when I really knew that this is what I wanted to do with the rest of my life," Heck said.

  •  Jacobs starting pitcher Evan Blunk against Dundee-Crown Monday in Carpentersville.

    Who needs practice? Apparently not Jacobs May 13, 2013 12:00 AM
    Consider it one of the oddest facts of an unusual spring: it's the final week of the regular season and the Jacobs baseball team has yet to hold a full, outdoor practice. Persistent cold, wet weather throughout late March and April kept the Golden Eagles off their own unplayable infield and in their field house for weeks on end. When the weather finally did improve enough to play outdoors, coach Jamie Murray's team took advantage of any dry day by eating into the backlog of postponed games. No time to practice. Just play, play, play. Though they haven't had the opportunity to work on cutoffs from the outfield or pitchers covering first base, the Golden Eagles have nevertheless managed to win 18 of 28 games, including Monday's 7-0 whitewash of District 300 rival Dundee-Crown in a Fox Valley Conference Valley Division tilt in Carpentersville.

The victory gave the Wolves the outright Valley championship with a 10-2 record. The Trojans end league play with a 9-3 slate.

     
  • North Boone ousts Westminster Christian May 13, 2013 12:00 AM
