Where does the time go???

Amazing how much has transpired since my last blog.

Imagine, David Stolman is now chairman of the Lake County Board.  I've had the chance to meet several county board chairmen from various county include Robert Depke and George Dunne.

I'm not sure what mold Stolman will fall into -- hopefully not the Todd Stroger mold.  Ouch.

A new trustee now occupies the dais at the Village Board -- Dr. Eric Smith will fill the vacancy left by the recall of Lisa Stone.  Let's see, that will give him about 10 Board meetings before he returns to being a mere mortal.  But, as we all know, a lot can happen in 10 meetings.

+++++

So why did Beverly Sussman change seats on the dais?

Perhaps the biggest "recent news" is that a certain local columnist spent nearly 30 column inches bemoaning the fact that her jeans are too tight.

Sorry, it's not the upcoming holidays.  More than likely it's due to ::middle age::: and an over abundance of various food items.  I think they call it a slow news week.

+++++

Kudos to Katie Donnewald for being recognized by the Board for her efforts to raise more than $6,500 for Salute, Inc.

Congrats to Cooper Middle School for its state champion cross country team.

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed the mysterious white truck that cruises through the village on garbage day?  The driver wears a white hard hat (beware of falling garbage???) and stops to pick up various items left out by homeowners.   I think that's called junk collecting.  Odds are there's  an ordinance against that.

More later...
