Today's riddle: I'm a rock group with 4 members; one member was assassinated. What am I? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• 'Major victory': Lake Forest police officer arrives back in U.S. on medical flight after being critically injured on vacation (lakemchenryscanner.com) — A Lake Forest police officer critically injured in a fall while visiting family in Nicaragua is now back in Chicago for advanced treatment, thanks to a community fundraiser that has raised nearly $190,000. His family and the Lake Forest Police Department are urging continued support as he begins a long recovery from a severe traumatic brain injury.
• The Eccentric Maverick Named Alice, Who Gave Ragdale to Artists (newcity.com) — Ragdale's transformation into a city-owned artist retreat in Lake Forest, including its 99‑year lease and prairie stewardship, has shaped a nationally respected residency that still welcomes creators today. The story traces founder Alice Ryerson Hayes' vision, community skepticism, and eventual pride, and notes a new exhibit with the History Center of Lake Forest Lake Bluff celebrating Ragdale's 50 years of inspiring artists.
• Volleyball Recap: Lake Forest Now 2-1 Since Losing 5 Straight (maxpreps.com) — Lake Forest's volleyball team snapped back at home, edging Highland Park 2–1 in a tight three-set battle to move to 2–2 on the season. The Scouts have now won two of their last three after a five-game skid and already added a 2–0 victory over Zion-Benton, while Highland Park looks to regroup before facing Vernon Hills next week.
