R.I.P.
Saturday, July 16, 2005 at 6:35AM here is some heartbreaking news i got this morning from miss mia's kickass newsletter:
Bond was denied Friday for a 23-year-old woman accused of intentionally ramming her car into another vehicle at a Skokie intersection in a suicide attempt, killing three men from Chicago and injuring three others.
Jeanette Sliwinski was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated battery in connection with the Thursday afternoon crash at Niles Center Road and Dempster Street, according to a news release from Skokie police.
Sliwinski...was denied bond when a hearing was held in the Skokie Courthouse in her absence, while she remains hospitalized from the crash, Cook County state's attorney's office spokesman Tom Stanton said.
Stanton did not know which judge presided over the hearing.
Sliwinski was accused of intentionally ramming her 2000 red Ford Mustang into a 2001 Honda Civic, which was stopped at a red light, because she was distraught and trying to kill herself, Stanton said. He said her car was travelling more than 70 mph before the impact.
Three men in the Civic were killed. They were identified as Michael Dahlquist, 39, John Glick, 35, and Douglas Meis, 29, all of Chicago, according to release.
Stanton said Sliwinski was not seriously injured.

FYI, these are three men from 3 different chicago area bands...michael dahlquist was the drummer for silkworm, john glick (a.k.a. bobby james lee ray) guitarist with the returnables and doug meis was the drummer for the dials...michael was also the editor for last year's chicago's underground film fest surprise hit 'why should the devil have all the good music'...
i held cadence just a bit closer as i put her down for her morning nap while we listened to iron+wine's 'creek drank the cradle'...life really can be over in the blink of an eye...and now that i have a family, i think about stuff like that, and i just hope and pray that each day i will impart to my loved ones, esp. teddy and cadence, just how much i love and cherish them...
