Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• 'It just didn't take off': Why Lake County plastic bag recycling program is ending next year (dailyherald.com) — Lincolnshire residents who've been using the orange Hefty ReNew bags for hard-to-recycle plastics will see the program end June 30 because companies can't reliably process the collected materials. The Lake County pilot, which also involved nearby suburbs and townships, drew mixed participation but strong interest from some eco-conscious communities. Locals are urged to use in-store plastic bag drop-offs instead.
• Man leads police on his 3rd SWAT standoff in Gurnee in less than 3 years after allegedly stabbing nephew unprovoked (lakemchenryscanner.com) — A tense SWAT standoff in Gurnee after an alleged stabbing drew in the multi-agency Lake County team that includes Lincolnshire police, underscoring how local officers respond to high-risk calls beyond village limits. Officers rescued a 15-year-old from the home and eventually arrested the suspect, who faces multiple domestic battery-related charges and a court-ordered fitness evaluation. The case highlights ongoing regional safety cooperation.
