Today's riddle: What do you call a one-legged Big Foot? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• District 47 Cancels Boundary Committee Meeting Amid Open Meetings Lawsuit (patch.com) — Crystal Lake families are watching closely as District 47 cancels its Oct. 6 Boundary Committee meeting rather than fight an emergency court request over open-meetings rules. Parent Joe Keegan's lawsuit argues the committee's long-running boundary work should have been public and documented, raising transparency questions about how proposals affecting Crystal Lake elementary schools were developed and how they'll move forward.
• McHenry Man Charged With DUI After Head-On Crash With Semi (patch.com) — Drivers around Crystal Lake may be alarmed after authorities say a McHenry man's SUV crossed the center line and hit a semi head-on near Walkup Road and Running Iron Drive. Firefighters had to extricate the driver, who now faces DUI and traffic charges tied to the crash just outside Crystal Lake.
• Richmond-Burton's Lanee Cooley reaches 1,000 career digs in KRC win: Monday's Northwest Herald roundup (shawlocal.com) — Crystal Lake Central's girls tennis team continued its strong season with a 7-1 nonconference win over Carmel, sweeping all five doubles courts and adding two singles victories. The broader roundup highlights standout performances from Richmond-Burton, Johnsburg, Woodstock-area schools and others in volleyball, soccer, golf and flag football. It's a good snapshot of how nearby teams are faring this week.
