Get a "Good Read on the Southland" with the week's must-read stories.
April showers bring May flowers, but what does an April snowfall bring? Saturday afternoon, the rain turned to snow in the south suburbs for a few cold hours. The snow didn't stick, but the cold and damp sure put a damper on thoughts of spring. To brighten your Monday, four out of five must-read Patch stories are guaranteed to lift your spirits. 1. South Suburban High Schoolers Beat the Pros in Charity Ballgame for First Time in 5 Years: Former Star Newspapers sports editor Alan Macey poured his heart and soul into organizing the McDonald's McLegend Game, which pits all-star prep ballplayers against south suburban natives who've made it big in the pros.

In this week's edition of "A Good Read on the Southland," we see the best of people and the worst, heroism and homelessness.
Tragedy strikes far away and close to home. A political twist. And two love stories unlike any other — one that ends with criminal charges and the other in song. These were the best Patch stories in the Southland last week. 1. South Suburban Man Thought the Japanese Tsunami Would Kill Him: When the devastating wave struck Japan, Nick Nowak thought he was a goner. "My Dad thought I was dead," Nowak told Patch editor Lauren Traut. And for a while, no one knew. Then he found a way to call home. "My mom was relieved to know I was alive." 2. Jealous, Jilted and Jailed: Love Ends at the Point of a Knife: On her Facebook page, Jamie Katro says she's "a very loyal and honest person." Tinley Park police say she attacked her ex-lover while standing …

In this week's edition of "A Good Read on the Southland," we've got money for mommies, a slain gay sailor remembered in D.C., an elderly mom murdered in Oak Lawn, and recovering thoroughbreds. Oh yeah, more Chris Medina, too.
Wondering what you missed last week? Here are a handful of stories you shouldn't miss twice. 1. Can You Pay Mommies and Daddies to Be Better Parents? Patch editor Christopher Paicely reports on an interesting experiment in Chicago Heights that provides financial incentives to parents in the quest to help their children perform better at school. Renowned University of Chicago economist John List is betting $10 million of a billionaire's money that cash can make a difference to kids at the Griffin Early Childhood Center. The story went national on Aol News. The story prompted quite a reaction among Aol readers last week. Says Aol reader Pamela McKnight: What makes you think money is going to make a good parent? Look at the Goselins, Charlie …

In this week's "Good Read on the Southland," we've got 5 stories that will make you smarter.
OK, maybe these stories won't make you smarter, but they will definitely give you something to talk about this week. I'm pretty sure Big Macs and Quarter Pounders won't give you the kind of gas that'll keep your legs pumping for 26 miles, but Oak Forest native Joseph D'Amico insists he can eat nothing but McDonald's and make it through the L.A. Marathon. D'Amico grew up in Oak Forest, running track and cross country for Oak Forest High School. Now known as "McRunner," he's vowed to raise $5,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities while feasting on nothing but McDonald's. Orland School District 135 is suing Paul Gutierrez of Blue Island for sending his daughter to Orland Junior High. The district seeks $24,208.03 in damages from Gutierrez …
