Today's riddle: Where did the two roofs meet? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
1. Afternoon Briefing: South Elgin house excavation turns up no evidence of missing girl (chicagotribune.com) — Investigators searching a South Elgin home tied to missing teen Kianna Galvin found no human remains or new leads, according to Kane County prosecutors. Crews dug beneath the basement after radar showed soil anomalies at the Revere Road house, the last place the 17-year-old was seen in 2016. The update comes amid broader Chicago and regional news highlights.
2. Fisher, Good & Gather, Other Nut Brands Recalled For Salmonella (foodpoisoningbulletin.com) — An Elgin-based company, John B. Sanfilippo & Son, has recalled several Fisher, Good & Gather, Squirrel Brand, and Southern Style nut mixes over possible Salmonella contamination tied to a dry milk ingredient. Check UPCs and best-by dates listed by the FDA, stop eating any affected products, and either discard them securely or return them for a refund while monitoring for symptoms.
3. Gieske to retire after 12 years as president of the Elgin chamber (chicagotribune.com) — Elgin’s business community is preparing for a major transition as longtime Elgin Area Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Carol Gieske retires July 7 after 19 years with the organization. A fourth-generation Elgin resident, she plans to help select her successor and stay involved while the chamber continues expanding support, advocacy, and resources for local employers navigating economic and technological change.
4. CP53E notice tied to paper-check transition causes confusion (journalofaccountancy.com) — If you live in Elgin and receive an IRS CP53E notice with a QR code, local CPA Mark Gallegos urges you not to scan it blindly and instead verify it through IRS.gov or your tax professional. Confusion stems from both legitimate and fraudulent notices tied to a federal push for electronic refunds, so residents should confirm any letter before sharing bank details.
