It's dark out, fireworks going off everywhere, boats all over the water....hmmm....let's go swim across the lake.
Helicopter just left and divers are in the water still searching for a body. Pretty sad. Made the life jacket argument I had with my daughter yesterday hit home. Update...happy ending...no not that kind of happy ending pervertThis message has been edited. Last edited by: Fish,
It was an amazing day in GE yesterday. Hats off to the volunteers and participants who made sure we had a wonderful cardboard boat regatta, entertaining parade and amazing fireworks show. It was a great weekend!
"Village Manager David Hulseberg said 'this is not the time' to be paying firefighters overtime to drive the trucks in the 2½-hour parade."
As an act of respect to the Lombard FD, other local fire companies boycotted the Lilac Parade, including Glen Ellyn.
And, along the same lines: "Hulseberg also recently rejected a request to take a ladder truck or engine to a funeral for a firefighter in Homewood. "It's really too far," he said. "To take a half-million-plus dollar vehicle and send it away for the day doesn't make sense to me."
