WHEW! As you can see below, it has been one busy week.
Because, yes, as our news editor puts it, I'm a one-woman show. I write or edit nearly everything that goes in the features section and take most of my own photos and videos, too, definitely not the quality of our photo editor, but, hey! I do try.
And speaking of trying, I'm apologizing in advance for any typos. Blogger's spellcheck is not working, and it's instructed me to "try later."
Um, no.
Second apology of the day: My illustrator for "Cornell Dyer and the Missing Tombstone" found a few typos. It a appears the wrong version was uploaded (we reverted to an earlier version because the recent version wound up with formatting issues). However, my illustrator is also better at formatting than we are, so she is going to help us and re-upload. So the book is still available until then, but buyer beware...
After a few weekends of minimal fiction-writing (the flu, weekend editor, a semi-working Easter weekend), I am looking forward of immersing myself in Before the Blood tomorrow (after early morning blood work and a few errands and before a work obligation later in the evening.
And now...
First, the non-bylined work: the health, faith, and arts and entertainment calendars. Three of them can be found at this link:. http://www.theherald-news.com/lifestyle/
Gotta Do It, runs each Sunday and often stays on the home page throughout the week.
Feature briefs for 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.
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.
Just an FYI: On free days, holidays, and Sundays I'm not on call, I only post the blog to my "real" Twitter account, as my company insists we do take time off. I'm less reasonable, so unless I'm on a real vacation, I still post to the BryonySeries accounts.
FYI: videos have not been attaching to my Herald-News stories, although they do run for a time on the home page. You may also find them under the "videos" tab.
If you'd like to watch a video, and it's not showing up for you, message me, and I'll manually attach it. No worries for this week, though, although I will have videos for Sunday.
Thank you for reading The Herald-News.

Right hat for the right era: Will County Historical Museum
exhibits vintage hats and accessories
See history through hats at Lockport museum
“People don’t wear hats nowadays except for utilitarian
hats,” Susan Marbes, co-curator, said. “These have more character and flair to them. How much hats
meant to women – it was part of the total woman.”

Take a peek at some of the vintage hats now on display at
the Will County Historical Museum and Research Center in Lockport.

While covering the story about vintage hats at the Will County

Mission Easter Hat: Seeking the perfect 1 in Joliet

An Extraordinary Life: Life was an adventure to
history-loving, bus-driving Joliet man
Anthony ‘Butch’ Tadey found adventure in life and organized
the same for others
Ray Strle, Butch’s friend of 60-plus years, who described
him thus, said Butch had an extensive knowledge of history (especially World
War II), an inexhaustible capacity for great ideas and a natural leadership
style.
“He would just invent these things and say, ‘This is what
we’re going to do,’” Ray said. “He always had interesting ideas, so [we] went
along with it.”

disease'
Nicole Ferguson is raising awareness of invisible illness
She recalled the first bolt, while having lunch with her
parents in 1993.

Ferguson said. “I felt like my skull was being tightened in a vise and
electrocuted at the same time.”

As New Lenox Park District recreation director retires, she
looks back on the district's growth
Shirley Braglia’s love for recreation, which began in her
childhood, even before her first job as a day camp counselor for the Chicago
Park District.
That was 1972. Braglia was 13 and said she was paid $1 a day
“to keep kids entertained.” Braglia had her own group of 10 to 15 children,
which she moved from station to station.
Camp went from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. five days a week for
six weeks. It also was free, although campers brought their own lunches.
