News obtained from the Northwest Herald: McHENRY – A structure fire at the Polish Legion of American Veterans on 1304 Park St. in McHenry took roughly two and a half hours to extinguish Sunday afternoon, but no one was injured during the annual Mother's Day brunch.
McHenry Township Fire Battalion Chief Joe Krueger said firefighters received a call at 11:41 a.m. for the fire, which was called in while members of the post were cooking for a Mother's Day brunch. Krueger said a Level 3 MABAS box alert was called, bringing assistance from multiple departments in Lake and McHenry counties.
With heavy smoke coming through the roof, McHenry Township Fire Chief Tony Huemann said the first wave of firefighters made an aggressive move and ran hoses inside the building before Krueger deemed the situation too dangerous and pulled out the firefighters. Responders then fought the blaze defensively from the outside of the building, Huemann said.
No civilians or firefighters were injured and the fire was contained to the single building. Some emergency crews began to leave the scene at 3 p.m. The building has "substantial" damage, Krueger said, with most of the back and back roof completely destroyed.
Dan Lisi, first vice commander of Polish Legion of American Veterans Post 188, said he and other members were cooking a Mother's Day brunch at the same time a roofing company was doing work on the building when a breaker popped around 11:30 a.m.
Other breakers started popping and the fire started, Lisi said. He said 70 people were inside the hall, and everybody exited safely and without injury.
Krueger said the cause of the fire is still under investigation. Representatives from the roofing company on scene declined to comment.
Lisi said the post has 144 members and has been in the building since 1980.

Marengo, Illinois - 2/24/21
New details released show that the two suspects who shot a Marengo gas station clerk during a robbery last week did so even after he gave them money from the cash register.
Two men walked into the Circle K Shell gas station, 600 North State Street in Marengo, around 3:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Suspect 1 held the clerk at gunpoint while he got the contents of the register, according to a police bulletin. Suspect 1 then ordered the clerk to open the safe and pistol-whipped the clerk on two occasions.
Suspect 2 was watching the door and then came behind the register and told the clerk he has three seconds. The suspect counted down and shot the clerk in the leg.
Additional threats were made to the clerk and one of the suspects said “Keith, Keith, come on,” according to the bulletin.
Both suspects left and are believed to have gotten into a white van that was seen driving northbound on State Street.
Marengo Police Department Sgt. Andrew Kjellgren said officers found the adult victim, identified as Brian Pemble, suffering from a gunshot wound.
Pemble was treated at the scene by paramedics and flown to Javon Bea Hospital in Rockford in stable condition, according to Marengo Fire Protection District Capt. Patrick Fanning.
The 35-year-old victim, an on-duty gas station clerk, was shot once in the leg during the robbery.
Suspect 1 is described as a male Hispanic, 25-35 years old, approximately 5-foot-4 or 5-foot 5, with a tattoo or mark on the right cheek, wearing a black hoodie with the text “DUCKIN BAD VIBES” on the chest and armed with a black semi-automatic handgun.
Suspect 2 is described as a male Hispanic, 25-35 years old, approximately 5-foot-8 to 6-foot-1, wearing a black jacket with a stripe on the shoulder and an unidentified white logo on the right chest, black jeans, tan boots and armed with a silver revolver.
The Aurora Police Department said on Friday that the suspects are linked to three armed robberies in their town.
One occurred around 7:30 p.m. Monday in the 100 block of South Broadway in Aurora and the second occurred around 8:45 p.m. Tuesday on that same block.
The third occurred around 9:55 p.m. Thursday in the 200 block of South Lake Street in Aurora.
Pemble’s wife, Melissa, started a fundraiser to help support their family of five kids while the father recovers from his injuries.
Melissa Pemble, a Capron resident, started the GoFundMe account, which has raised nearly $13,000 as of Monday.
Pemble said that her husband Brian is recovering from his injuries following the shooting, which occurred at his second job as a gas station clerk.
The money raised in the fundraiser will go towards medical bills and lost income.
Those who have information on any of the robberies are asked to call the Marengo Police Department at 815-568-7231 or the McHenry County Crime Stoppers at 800-762-7867.

Nurses nationwide hold 162 ‘May Day’ actions demanding COVID-19 protections for nurses, health care workers
Nurses at 162 hospitals in 13 states representing more than 95,540 nurses hold workplace actions on Friday, May 1 — International Workers Day, also known as “May Day” — calling for optimal COVID-19 protections, National Nurses United (NNU) announced today.
Nurses say their demand for optimal PPE is underscored by the fact that more than 60 nurses across the country have died of COVID-19, although due to lack of testing, the number is surely higher.

Wishful thinking, but it would be cool to have the NS Veterans engine as a protection unit for commuter trains, but its simply on display for an event in Union Station.

I'm using a 72" tall plastic shelving unit to make a greenhouse for my succulents. The pvc pipe frame around it is to keep the plastic sheeting away from the plants. Haven't decided how I will keep it from being blown over if winds top 20 mph. Feb. 2017.
It was nice to see that our ice climbing guide used plenty of protection - multiple ice bolts to secure our two climbing lines.
