• The Daily Chronicle in DeKalb recently won 20 awards, including five first-awards, in this year's Illinois Associated Press Editors Association News and Photo Contest. The Chronicle competed in Division C for small dailies. The awards will be presented in June. As a longtime reader of the Chronicle, I am happy for the newspaper's staff. In addition to the news and sports reports, I also enjoy the Chronicle's columnists.

• As a Batavia resident, it pains me a bit to share the Kane County Chronicle's sports report about St. Charles North's 10th straight baseball victory over Batavia May 2. North topped Batavia 14-7. The two schools will meet again May 9. Watch for updates.
