Heroin overdoes leads to possession charges
Sadie
The Ross family, Lake
Forest
Sadie is a pure-bread
Great Dane recently
rescued from a shelter
in the western Chicago suburbs. Prior, Sadie was a
breeding dog in southern Illinois and was dropped
off at a kill shelter, weighing only 87 pounds. She
is now a healthy 115 pounds and has a wonderful
temperament, especially with children. Sadie is
an especially amazing dog considering her very
difficult upbringing, yet she is kind, gentle, loves to
sleep in the sun and run laps around the backyard.
She has been through the ringer in life, from prior
abuse to surviving doggie breast cancer, but is
enjoying her sunset years.
HELP! The Lake Forest Leader is in search of more pets.

analysis of structures in
the area.
If the potential cost to
the area is greater than the
cost of mitigation measures,
the Corps can involve
itself, Sammara said.
“The model is calibrated
by actual events,” he said.
“The damages control the
amount of dollars we can
spend on a project.”
The impact analysis is
modeled after damage reports
from previous floods,
compiled from information
collected by agencies
such as the Federal Emergency
Management Agency,
or FEMA.
“Basically here, we’re
taking existing information,
we’re updating a few
things on the hydrology
and hydraulics, and are taking
that information and
getting an economical output
out of that to see if there
are damages,” he said.
The study would examine
flooding along the
Skokie River and the North
Branch Chicago River.
“Water does not just go
to one community and stop
there, you have to look at a
bigger footprint so you can
make a lot more sense out
of the information you are
[given],” Sammara said.
Mitigation efforts will
depend on the results of
the study, Sammara said.
If the damages are severe
enough, the Army Corps
can build structures such
as levees to reduce flooding
in the case of a severe
rain event.
The study will take
roughly nine months to
complete, Sammara said. It
should begin in late April.
