Today's riddle: What is the difference between a jeweler and a jailer? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Former Mundelein Trustee Charged With DUI Days After Resigning (patch.com) — Libertyville readers may recall that former Mundelein trustee Jennifer Grieco previously pleaded guilty to a DUI charge stemming from a 2025 two-vehicle crash in Libertyville. Now, authorities say she faces a new DUI charge after an arrest near Lake Bluff, which came just days after she resigned from the Mundelein village board, citing a move out of town.
• Tivias Caldwell Jr. shines for St. Francis, which faces QB injury: Kane County Chronicle football notebook (shawlocal.com) — Libertyville football fans will note Geneva's defense just limited Libertyville star tight end and Texas commit Brock Williams to a single eight-yard catch in a 28-14 loss. The broader notebook highlights standout performances and quarterback injuries for several suburban programs, including St. Francis, St. Charles East, and Marmion, offering context on how early-season changes could shape the regional high school football landscape.
