Busy Friday!
As in, impossibly busy.
Next week, I'll share some new and upcoming projects. But for today, we'll just move right into the stories and one reminder about Calkins Day.

A reminder of an upcoming event:
Calkins Day Book Signing
Monday through Saturday I assembled my non-bylined works - 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.
One can also find those event listings, 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."
Thank you for reading The Herald-News. And for reading this blog. And if you've read (or plan to read) any of my books. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Channahon teen gets extra preparation for teaching career
According to the Irish American Society of County Will
website, the Irish Life Experience provides students the opportunity to live in
a different cultural environment.
“I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, a trip to Ireland! How cool would
that be?’” Hannah Borgra said.
An Extraordinary Life: Joliet woman gave all she had to give
"She was always very service-oriented," Elmer
Geissler said of his wife Jean Geissler, one of the first women superintendents
in Will County. "She wasn't one to take credit for anything at the school.
'It was always the staff,'" she said. 'I had wonderful staff.' She lived
just to give back to others. That's all there was to it."
Oh, Baby
Lockport network offers holistic prenatal, pregnancy and postpartum
care under one roof
“We share the space; we share the rent,” said Danielle
Meintanis, a certified Hypnobabies hypnosis instructor. “I use it mostly on the
weekend. The lactation consultant comes in a couple times a month for meetings
with moms or hosting a breastfeeding support group.”
Meintanis said she’s also led meetings for mothers
considering a vaginal birth after a past Cesarean section and that Cathy Smith,
a certified birth doula, also has hosted a prenatal loss support group.
“We’re just trying to help,” Meintanis said. “A lot of moms
out there don’t know they have options.”

Joliet school is gone, legacy remains
Joliet school is gone, legacy remains
In 1988, the bishop at that time transferred the pastor –
who was assigned to St. Mary’s in 1955 – and closed the school.
