NORTHBROOK, IL The community is reeling following news of the death of a local student. In emails to parents from Glenbrook North High School and Northbrook/Glenview School District 30, school officials said Dylan Buckner, 18, of Northbrook, died Thursday. He was the capitan and quarterback of the Glenbrook North High School varsity football team and someone teachers wanted to clone. It was a great pleasure knowing Dylan. It was a great pleasure to have gone into battle with him, to have gotten to languish in the hot summer sun with him, Will Erens, a classmate and fellow football player at GBN, told Patch. But he was more than a teammate. He was simple, but he was strong. He was a great leader. I lost a friend, a teammate, but the world lost a great man.

This is Good News Sunday, a compilation of some of the more upbeat and inspiring stories published by the Daily Herald during the previous week:
When 16-year-old Eva Konsur read a news article this summer about a milelong line of cars at a food pantry in Texas, she decided to take action.
I thought it would be a great idea for all of us to help out our local food pantries, so I started reaching out to local businesses, said Eva, who lives in Palatine and is a junior at William Fremd High School,
At first Eva reached out to grocery stores, asking if she could set up a table and ask customers for donations, but was told that was not possible due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The manager of Trader Joe s in Schaumburg, however, came up with the idea of asking employees if they would donate to Eva s initiative, which got the ball rolling.
