So with one editor on vacation and a second out on a family emergency, it's been an interesting week indeed.
One of our reporters, a former news editor, took on the bulk of extra duties, while I took on some I could handle and worked the holiday. I've also been working with two interns; it's nice having other bylines in the features section, at least until mid-August,
This weekend is also my regularly scheduled weekend editor shift, but I do have a couple days off next week, the first real time off I'm taking in 2017. Mini writing getaway, here I come!
For this week and the two that follow it, you'll see less stories penned by me for these very reasons. However, I've also done plenty of briefs and calendar items to keep the local content coming, and these you'll find on the website.
So here we go!
Thank you for reading The Herald-News.
Catherine Beavers, who runs the center, said she wants to
continue to give back to veterans and rent out the space to the community to
fundraise for the veterans she houses.

The health, faith, and arts and entertainment calendars: where to find them? Under the sections tab on the left hand side of http://www.theherald-news.com/. Click on "features" and the topics drop down. Assembled by moi.
Gotta Do It, also by me, runs each Sunday in the People section.
Feature briefs for Monday (pets), Tuesday (health), Thursday (faith), Friday (arts and entertainment), and Sunday (people) are also edited (texted and photos) by the lady of this blog, but only the stories have bylines. I do try to post new content daily.
Another option: I do post the briefs and calendars on Twitter during the week, so you're welcome to follow me at @Denise_Unland61. And of course, I post curated content relating to the BryonySeries at @BryonySeries.

Note: A former Herald-News freelance writer submitted this story. Because I don't have a freelance budget, I couldn't pay her or give her a byline. But she thought it was a good story to tell and wanted to submit it anyway. I agree. It's not very long, so please give it a read.
During a recent visit. the veterans had an opportunity to catch
up on old times and their past escapades.
There wasn't a person this Joliet woman wouldn't help
Life was not always kind to Twila Shafer, although most
people didn't know it. A single mother of two girls – now adults – Twila
simultaneously worked two and three jobs most of her life to support them and
was known by her characteristic laugh.

Mystery Diner: Thayer Bros. Deli serves homemade food for
the whole family
Annie Thayer, owner
and mother of former Chicago Bears player Tom Thayer, greeted us with a
low-key, neighborly type of friendless. While a server seated us, took our
drink orders and brought menus, Annie chatted to us as if we'd known her our
entire lives.
