The civil case against a Naperville man who allegedly ran down a young woman from Joliet and then fled, leaving her to die, has a settlement agreement on the table.
The family of a 20-year-old Joliet woman left for dead on the side of McDonough Street has offered to settle a wrongful death lawsuit for $250,000. The settlement deal calls for attorneys representing the estate of University of Illinois student Melissa Lech to get $84,325.09 of the settlement. Half of the remaining $165,674.91 will go to Lech's mother, Maria Lech. Melissa Lech's two sisters, Monica and Michelle Lech, would split $82,837.45, according to court papers. Melissa Lech, a Plainfield South High School graduate, was run down on McDonough Street in August 2008. On the night of her death, she drank on the way up to a White Sox game, continued drinking at the game and on the way back to Joliet, and then headed to the Jefferson …

There are 50 games left, but a disastrous home-stand has some die-hard White Sox fans ready to call it a season.

Ron Santo, beloved No. 10 and Chicago Cubs third baseman, died early Friday morning at the age of 70.
I come from a long line of diehard Chicago Cubs fans. The kind that stand outside on Waveland Avenue during games with a mitt waiting to catch the next home run ball. The kind that opt to sit in the bleachers with Ronnie Woo Woo, because even though they may get beer spilled on them, everyone knows they're the best seats in the house. And the kind that mute the TV to pair a game with the hometown call on WGN radio. I think that's what I'll miss most about Ron Santo. Swimming in the backyard pool at my parents' house as a kid, listening to Ronnie banter with fellow Cubs radio legend, Pat Hughes, on 720-AM about the time he burned his hair. Without ever realizing his dream of seeing his team win a World Series, the legend, eternal Cubs …
