I recently began assembling my brief posts and calendar listings into one convenient file and posting them on Facebook in the evening, so readers can easily choose the ones they want to read.
Now if you don't want to wait that long, you can find the Gotta Do It calendar, as well as the pets, health, faith, and arts and entertainment calendars, under the sections tab on the left hand side of http://www.theherald-news.com/. Click on "features" and the topics drop down. Gotta Do It runs under "people."
Community news: Again, under the sections tab, under features, and by topic. Updates are posted on these days in print and web and in web on other days as I have the time: Monday (pets), Tuesday (health), Thursday (faith), Friday (arts and entertainment), and Sunday (people).
Daily updates: I do post the briefs and calendars on Twitter during the week, so you're welcome to follow me at @Denise_Unland61.
BryonySeries stuff: I post curated content relating to the BryonySeries at @BryonySeries. And assorted related content at www.facebook.com/BryonySeries. And of course, please follow the adventures of Bertrand the Mouse on Instagram at
Joliet man is clean, employed and helping others in their recovery
“I was there to get a fresh start,” Roosevelt Burton said. “I listened
more and I had a chance to speak more. I realized I could decide to change my
life. All the things they [Stepping Stones] had in place – the rules, the
homework, the paper work – all played a part.”

An Extraordinary Life: Joliet man was a hero in his own way
Salim attended the Terra Sancta School in Jerusalem, where
he even assisted the teachers, Kahlil added. Education, for Salim, would be his

Kahlil Diab, Salim's son, said.
New Lenox couple goes to bat for these critters

their live 14 Egyptian fruit bats and three African straw-colored bats, as well

Joliet treatment center celebrates life-changing
partnerships
“It’s something like a halfway house,” Paul Lauridsen,
executive director of Stepping Stones, said of the treatment center. “When guys
come in, they have time to get readjusted in the community, get IDs, get jobs
and get reacquainted with their families. It’s not like the old days when you
took them to the prison gates, opened the doors and gave them $50 to get
somewhere.”
