“There are differences, a little more freedom, especially not wearing a mask,” Sox manager Tony La Russa said Sunday. “But I’m not sure when we go to Minnesota (Monday), what we’ll do there as far as getting away from the hotel. But knock on wood, we are trending in the right direction, not just baseball, but as a country.”

Joe Cirone, District 1 coordinator for the American Radio Relay League, talks to people joining the search for 12-year-old Kyrin Carter outside the Best Western hotel on 179th Street near Cliine Avenue in Hammond’s Hessville section. Kyrin, who’s autistic, ran away from the hotel around noon May 15 and was still missing Sunday morning, officials said. (Michelle L. Quinn / Post-Tribune)

Almost 200 alligators call Critchlow Alligator Sanctuary home. The smallest are only a foot or two long but the largest, named Medusa, is 11 feet long and is expected to keep growing. The sanctuary takes in around 20 to 30 new alligators each year. Many of those are pets from people who are unable or unwilling to care for growing gators, but some are captured by animal control officers from around the Midwest and brought to the sanctuary.

The day before that shooting, on March 14, an on-duty sergeant was shot outside the Gresham District Police Station, 7808 S. Halsted St., on the South Side. That sergeant suffered a graze wound to his chin, and there’s been no word of any arrests in that case.
