Today's riddle: What is full of holes but still holds water? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• More than $1 million in federal funds secured for Will County Lake Michigan water project (shawlocal.com) — Shorewood residents are set to benefit from a major Lake Michigan water project, as more than $1 million in new federal funding moves the Grand Prairie Water Commission system forward. Led by Shorewood Mayor C.C. DeBold, the multi-year effort will replace stressed groundwater with a regional pipeline bringing treated Chicago water to six Will County communities by 2030.
• Case tied to 2024 Joliet mass shooting bogged down by discovery disputes ahead of trial (shawlocal.com) — A Shorewood man's high-profile murder case tied to a 2024 Joliet mass shooting is stalled by ongoing disputes over late evidence disclosures before an August 31 jury trial. Defense attorneys argue prosecutors' handling of discovery and lost electronic lineup records violates due process, while prosecutors insist they've long disclosed key materials and accuse the defense of delay tactics.
• Piazza leads Ferris volleyball title hopes (bigrapidsnews.com) — A Shorewood native is set to play a leading role in Ferris State's nationally ranked volleyball push this fall. Junior outside hitter Gabby Piazza, a former GLIAC Freshman of the Year and All-American honoree, is now a key team leader as the Bulldogs chase another Division II regional title at their home invitational August 27–29.
