Yesterday I had a nice lunch with interns Jessie Spangler and Megan Schuller. Jessie's last official day at The Herald-News was yesterday, but Megan has another week. We had a fun time talking about life and writing, too, because both young women like to play with other types of writing, too.
I wish them much success in all their endeavors (writing and otherwise) and hope they do keep in touch.

Last weekend, I didn't get much writing done, but Rebekah and I did rescue a hawk, so one can't really beat that. If you didn't catch them on the first go 'round, they are posted below.
And LOTS of stories this week. Now I know why I never made to working on deans and college graduates lists (And here I'd been thinking I was slovenly and disorganized).

"We just gave away 2,000 backpacks at our Back to School
Fair in Will County," Kathleen Langdon, development and communications
director at Catholic Charities, Diocese of Joliet, said. "If that isn't a
sign of need, I don't know what is. The need is great right now, so we really
have a big ask out there for people to dig deep to see if they are able to help
us a bit."

Channahon blogger reaches over 1.2 million total views with
this simple topic
Kyungran Feigel of Channahon began her blog at
blog.daum.net/feigel nine years ago to share American life with South Korean
family and friends. Since that time, Feigel has made friends all over the globe
and racked up over 1.2 million views.
"I'm interested in people. I like to help people,"
Feigel said. "Korean people think American people are rich like in
Hollywood movies – lots of food and fancy clothes and living in big houses. I
wanted to show real Americans, how ordinary Americans live."

An Extraordinary Life: Channahon man led with a servant's
heart
Editor's note: On June 8, this man called to pitch a story about a blood drive. After our phone call, he sent photos, a news release, and contact information for sources. The day before I ran the story (almost a month later), I called his cell to add a few comments from him. His wife answered. He had died suddenly the day after he pitched the story.
“He was very ‘hands-on, take care of it yourself,'" Jill Walsh, office manager and pastor assistant at St. Ann Catholic
Church in Channahon, said. "He got
involved; he took care of things; he got people organized. He had meetings and
got things done.”

We rescued a red-tailed hawk this weekend
"Do hawks just hang around on the ground," Rebekah
Baran, my 23-year-old daughter wanted to know.

AllenForce helps veterans, families feel inclusive despite
barriers
By Megan Schuller
The first program was for veterans who had been injured or
have a chronic illness, and it’s still running today
From our house to yours: two more summer desserts to try
Rebekah shared two more this week, easier to prepare, pretty
when served. One is a berry parfait, which makes 6 to 10 servings. The other is
a key lime tart with coconut cream and toasted coconut. This one makes 1 9-inch
tart or about 75 miniatures, perfect for a large end-of-summer bash.
Ruby the red-tailed hawk's injury was no accident
"If it's hadn't been for your quick response, she would
have died a slow and painful death," John Papach of Glendale Heights, licensed falconer and member of the
Great Lakes Falconers Association, said.

This Joliet organization needs people 'to dig deep'
From Minooka musical theater to reporting on Broadway
By Jessie Spangler
“I think I got chosen because they were looking for someone
who was charismatic and also funny. A lot of kids took it really seriously, and
I took a looser route, which worked in my favor,” Nate Garner said.
Artworks: OUTDrejas two-time winner at Battle of the Bands in Joliet
By Jessie Spangler
“It was a really humbling experience, a lot of the best
local talent in the area came out, and it was really cool to go up there and
play our hearts out. It definitely made us feel good,” said David Drejas, lead
singer and bass player of OUTDrejas.
