Donna Lebano of Lemont toughed out contractions during the Blackhawks' series-clinching victory over the Minnesota Wild Thursday night before she was rushed to Adventist Hinsdale Hospital and gave birth in the wee hours of the morning.
Editor's note: The following story was submitted to Patch by Sheila Galloro of Adventist Midwest Health.

Hinsdale Central tight end Ian Bunting has committed to play his college ball at the University of Michigan after he graduates next year, the Chicago Tribune reports. The 6-foot-6, 215-pound Hinsdale resident had scholarship offers from big-program schools including Notre Dame and USC, according to SB Nation.
