Yet, these students never took classes at the school's campus in Romeoville. Through a so-called 3+1 program partnership between Lewis and College of DuPage, the students earned their four-year degrees from Lewis by taking all their classes at COD's campus in Glen Ellyn. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130519/news/705199774/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130519/news/705199774/ Sun, 19 May 2013 20:57:58 -0400 This edition of The Week in Pictures features things found in the air, including ducks, robins, owls, mosquitos, and rockets. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130519/news/705199799/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130519/news/705199799/ Sun, 19 May 2013 20:35:12 -0400 For the first time in the 56-year history of the Des Plaines River Canoe and Kayak Marathon, the man who was its guiding force was absent. But the memory of Ralph Frese, who died in December at the age of 86, loomed large over the race from Libertyville to Prospect Heights. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130519/news/705199848/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130519/news/705199848/ Sun, 19 May 2013 16:32:36 -0400 Organizers of the Northern IL Police K-9 Memorial are hosting two fundraising events. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130519/news/705199858/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130519/news/705199858/ Sun, 19 May 2013 16:25:56 -0400 Golfers can help raise money for College of Lake County scholarships in an outing on Monday, June 3. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130518/news/705199914/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130518/news/705199914/ Fri, 17 May 2013 23:00:21 -0400 Yes, the 56th Annual Des Plaines River Canoe and Kayak Marathon will go on as scheduled Sunday. But that doesn't mean organizers didn't have a few things to worry about in the wake of last month's floods. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130524/news/705249992/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130524/news/705249992/ Wed, 22 May 2013 08:54:51 -0400 Each week you submit your favorite photo. We pick the best of the bunch and select 12 finlaists. Here are the finalists for the week of May19th. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130523/sports/705239618/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130523/sports/705239618/ Thu, 23 May 2013 22:46:54 -0400 Wet grounds at Carmel Catholic forced the baseball team to travel to Elgin to play a "home" game in the state tournament. The Corsairs apparently didn't mind. Tyler Murphy belted a 2-run homer, and Dalton Wright scattered 5 hits over 6 innings, as No. 3 Carmel blanked No. 19 Wheeling 6-0 at Judson University on Thursday night. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130523/sports/705239635/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130523/sports/705239635/ Thu, 23 May 2013 22:01:43 -0400 If her line-drive, gone-in-a-second smash had been hit more to center field, the softball might have rolled all the way to her Libertyville house. Amanda Elert's 3-run homer in the first inning, truth be told, was hit that hard. It was the Carmel Catholic freshman catcher's 10th home run of the season and propelled the fifth-seeded Corsairs to a 14-4 win in five innings over No. 12 Stevenson in the teams' Class 4A regional semifinal at Libertyville on Thursday. "She's just a very polished hitter," Carmel Catholic coach Jason Raymond said. "Almost every at-bat, she gets great swings on the ball." Think Elert was excited to play on Libertyville's diamond? She lives five minutes away, between Carmel and Libertyville high schools. If she wasn't attending Carmel, she'd be a Libertyville Wildcat. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130523/sports/705239679/ http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130523/sports/705239679/ Thu, 23 May 2013 20:38:40 -0400 Stevenson lived up to its billing, and its North Suburban Conference brethren stayed in the limelight as well as the first day of the 98th boys tennis state tournament drew to a close Thursday. After brief rainfall welcomed the 64-player singles field at 12 sites near host Hersey in Arlington Heights, Patriots top player Jeremy Bush sent a trio of opponents packing to earn his spot in the fourth round against 17-32 seed Mack Galvin (35-5), a freshman from Rolling Meadows. Their 9 a.m. Friday match will take place at Hersey, where all the singles competition from the championship bracket will be held. Doubles will be contested at Buffalo Grove, where the Patriot team of Colin Harvey/Andrew Komarov (18-2) take on 9-16 seed Naperville Central (Wesley Lo-Sid Swamy). The Patriots' Pawel Jaworski/Josh Lieberman, 24-4) will take the courts opposite Lake Forest's Cameron Bagheri/Connor O'Kelly. The tandems split a pair of meetings earlier this season.
