Hero's Welcome

A Hero's Welcome: Army Spc. Jeremiah Homuth returns to Huntley, Ill.
It was amazing to see so many people from McHenry county and beyond come to the little town of Huntley to welcome back Jeremiah. It was better than any 4th of July parade I have ever seen. God Bless Jeremiah and the Homuth family.

A Hopeful Heart

After traveling from his home in Guatemala to a temporary home in Woodstock, an 18-year-old with extremely rare heart conditions underwent a nearly two-hour screening today to determine how soon, if at all, he will need to undergo open-heart surgery. A young man with such huge smiles and a great laugh. Just when you think you got it rough, someone like Luis comes along and really puts life into perspective.

Cicada Invasion

Cicadas have definitely invaded Chicagoland but only a few choice spots of McHenry County. I decided to find out why some cities were swarming with these red-eyed bugs and some were vacant. While I was filming, if I stayed still for too long they all would start flying into my hair. A week later, I still feel like they are crawling on me.
