Today's riddle: I went into the woods and found it. Once I'd found it, I searched for it. The harder I searched, the less I wanted it. When at last I couldn't find it, I carried it home in my hand. What is it? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
• Family in deadly Wonder Lake house explosion sues Nicor (dailyherald.com) — A Crystal Lake resident has launched one of two GoFundMe campaigns to help the Patnaude family after a deadly house explosion in nearby Wonder Lake led to a wrongful-death lawsuit against Nicor Gas. The suit, filed in McHenry County court, alleges the utility failed to adequately respond to reports of leaking natural gas before the May 17 blast that killed Sandra Patnaude and severely injured her husband.
• Crystal Lake Central shows off offensive versatility, rolls past Hononogah to reach sectional final (shawlocal.com) — Crystal Lake Central’s girls soccer team dominated Hononegah 8–0 at home to reach the Class 2A sectional final in Crystal Lake, powered by two goals each from senior standouts Ella Bechler and Addison Schaffer. The Tigers, now 18–2 and averaging over five goals a game, will chase their fourth straight sectional title Friday against Belvidere North or Lakes.
• Large fire department response after report of explosion, fire that engulfed rear of house in Fox River Grove (lakemchenryscanner.com) — Firefighters from Fox River Grove and surrounding towns, including Crystal Lake, battled a late-night house fire Friday on Victoria Drive after reports of an explosion. The vacant home, under renovation, suffered extensive damage but no injuries were reported, and investigators believe propane tanks likely triggered the blast while the cause remains under review.
