Joe Sell, 33, was reportedly found dead in Chicago on Tuesday. He was a 1996 graduate of Naperville Central High School.
The tributes were pouring in on Facebook as word of the death of Naperville resident and Lucky Boys Confusion guitarist Joe Sell spread. The Chicago Sun Times reported Sell, 33, was found dead Tuesday night in the 2700 block of West Superior Street. It was reported that Sell had been hospitalized within the last few months with pancreas problems, though it's not clear whether those issues contributed to his death. Sell’s bandmates with Lucky Boys Confusion made a statement on its Facebook page Wednesday night. “We are saddened & devastated to hear the news of our bandmember, friend & brother Joe Sell's passing this morning. The five of us have toured, recorded & performed as one for the last fifteen years. More importantly, we've all grown…
The Illinois State Crime Commission is going to test out a new program in DuPage County, which will pay out rewards of $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of heroin dealers.
In April, Georgia McDaniel ran and finished the Boston Marathon. Within the same week, she set several state swimming records.
Having spent more than 20 years working as a physical education teacher, Georgia McDaniel has always been into fitness. Many people her age, and even those much younger, might have trouble keeping up with the 65-year-old. She recently ran the Boston Marathon—only the second marathon she’s run. Less than a week after the race, she set a number of swim records in her age group during a recent masters swim meet. With experience running half-marathons and doing triathlons, McDaniel said she thought she if she was going to ever run the Boston Marathon she’d better do it before she got much older. “It was something out there, a goal to achieve and I guess to see if I could do it,” she said of running the race. “I’m so glad I did it, it was a …

When do children become too old for breast milk?
A good friend of ours told the story of how she had to wean her then 2-year-old son off their evening nursing routine. She was deeply saddened, but felt it was time. When we first had Liam, I thought that two years old seemed extensive. I never expected to nurse him a full 18 months. (A very healthy child, his first antibiotic wasn't until he was 25 months!) The head-turning Time Magazine cover of a mom nursing her 3-year-old son also has tongues wagging. How old is too old for a child to breast feed? My husband says if the boy can walk, talk, and shave, he's too old. Other friends say they've witnessed drive-by-nursings — when kids run over and pull up their moms' shirts to latch on for a quick drink in between game playing. That's not my…
