Historical Reflections
Reprinted from the 1938 edition of the Cook County News-Herald Remember when making a long-distance telephone call was a big deal? And making that call came from a landline? Well, it was even more special in 1938 when phones were relatively new. Your call back then was handled by a switchboard operator who would plug a patch cord into the socket of the person you called (if the call was local) on the switchboard.

Ty Backlund speaks at the School Veterans Day Ceremony
At 17, Ty Backlund told the audience attending the CCHS Veteran's Day Celebration on Friday, November 10, that he felt trapped and wanted out of Cook County, so he signed a contract with the Army. Ironic, right? Because Ty Backlund is back here with a wife and is working as a Cook County Sheriff's Deputy.
Letter to the people of Cook County
I have just returned from the closed session of the North Shore Hospital(NSH) Board meeting. I was there in my position as Chief of Medical Staff to present my investigation and thoughts on the termination of Dr. Bruce Dahlman from the Medical Staff of North Shore Hospital and from Wapiti (the ER group that provides services to NSH). Today, I speak to you as a physician who has worked here for 14 years and cares deeply about this community and the health of NSH. I believe you need to hear the story I have to tell.
