INDIANAPOLIS — While there are some things that are different from his first time at the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing," there are two things that certainly haven't changed for a driver from Burr Ridge. David Malukas will take part in his second Indianapolis 500 Sunday and is proud to represent Chicagoland as he joins the 33-car grid for the famed motorsports event."All around, my team, myself, we're all Chicago based," said the 21-year-old driver. "It feels like we're bringing that Chicago home into Indy. I feel like it's really nice that the whole Chicago people have a certain car they can go for."Yet the greatest motivation for Malukas remains his family - especially the person who has been with him every step of the way and plays a big part in getting him on the track."Every time we leave circuit, me and my dad, we always look each other in the eye and just can't believe it, we're actually here," said David of his father, Henry Malukas, in an interview with WGN News Now before t...

Texas lawmakers pass bill aimed at Veterinary Board

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:54:22 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) – Texas lawmakers voted to temporarily attach the state's Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners to another state agency, in order to help with data collection and management issues.The legislation, Senate Bill 1414, stems from a review earlier this year by the Sunset Advisory Commission, which found "unreliable and inconsistent" practices persisted at the Board in charge of regulating the state's animal doctors. Over the last six years, prior Sunset reviews had already highlighted similar problems.

Saints’ Austin Schulfer inching his way closer to big leagues

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:54:22 GMT

Growing up in Stevens Point, Wis., St. Paul Saints right-handed relief pitcher Austin Schulfer dreamed of playing major league baseball.OK, so it was with the Chicago Cubs, but his allegiance shifted in 2018 when the Twins selected him in the 19th round of the draft out of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. And, like the number of family members and friends who regularly make the drive west to CHS Field to see him play, Schulfer is warming to teams that play on the other side of the border.“Fortunately for Minnesota fans, I’m not a Packers fan,” Schulfer said prior to the Saints’ 14-1 win over the Omaha Storm Chasers on Saturday night.“When I was growing up my dad was a (San Francisco) 49ers fan.

If I’m at a Gophers game I’ll cheer for the Gophers — as long as they aren’t playing the Badgers.”The 27-year-old Schulfer’s dream appears close to coming to fruition. Over his last six outings,...
