8 | December 6, 2018 | The lake forest leader NEWS LakeForestLeader.com Police Reports Students charged with possession of vape pens containing THC oil at <strong>LF</strong>HS A juvenile male, 15, and a juvenile male, 14, both of Lake Forest, were charged with possession of drug paraphernalia on Nov. 20 in the 1200 block of N. McKinley Road in Lake Forest. Police investigated two separate incidents involving juveniles at Lake Forest High School in possession of multiple vape pens and pods that contained THC Oil. These incidents, which have increased in the last few years, highlight the growing problem with juveniles using vape pens to get high. Vape pen devices may look like a ballpoint pen, a USB memory stick, or other ordinary objects. They are easy to conceal and are specifically designed to disguise the vape pen device. The pods contain THC, which is used in vape pens to get high. Parents should familiarize themselves with vape pens and understand that vaping may deliver a far more potent form of whatever drug is being used. Teens illegally using the vape pens might not anticipate the intensified side effects; understand the increased risk of addiction and the potential negative effects it may cause in juvenile brain development.

When the event was started a decade ago, Joanna Rolek, the Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Chamber of Commerce executive director, said merchants came up with the idea and the name of the event, which is a play on the movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” “Lake Bluff has a Norman Rockwell atmosphere and the event came out of everyone wanting to keep with old-fashioned and traditional fun,” Rolek said. Rolek also added the tagline of the event is “Lake Bluff is the north pole of the North Shore.” The event happens every year, rain or shine, and while this year marked a rainy event, residents still came out in the holiday spirit. “This town is very festive and events are vital to the town,” Rolek said. “As the year comes to an end, this event is the frosting on the cake or the star on the tree.” The day kicked off at 11 a.m. with 13 businesses participating in Holly Jolly Passport, where attendees travel to each participating business and have the chance to earn prizes. Lake Bluff Library and the library elves joined in on the fun and welcomes community members for stories and arts and crafts. Lake Forest Bank and Trust sponsored carriage rides through town for families.
