Top 5 events in the Sauk Valley this weekend
The 19th-century conflict between the Hatfield and McCoy families became the definitive feud of American history. To this day it provides a shorthand way of describing a hate-laced, unbending, seemingly endless battle between two groups. But what in fact happened between the Hatfields and McCoys?
LOS ANGELES (MCT) – It was a great night for Phillip Phillips, but for “American Idol,” maybe not so much.
LOS ANGELES (MCT) – Sir Elton John has been forced to cancel three upcoming concerts due to a respiratory infection, the superstar singer announced Thursday morning.
Josh Brolin impersonating the young Tommy Lee Jones is worth the price of admission to “Men in Black 3.” Dry, drawling, deadpan – he nails the flinty Texan in this sentimental sequel to the sci-fi comedies about secret agents in black suits who save the world from aliens.

What to do in the Sauk Valley
STERLING – Dressed in his signature wide-brimmed black cowboy hat and boots, the 59-year-old is a blue-collar guy – he worked at Northwestern Steel & Wire and Sterling Steel Co. for 18 years.
