Well, this is another sign I need to avoid the news for awhile.

“Leigh Gardella-Wood and her husband bought the Spring Bluff Elementary School in Winthrop Harbor, which had been closed, in 2011; they live there with their children. The school’s property included a memorial boulder. NBC Chicago reported, “In June 2012, Girl Scout Kasha Strathman took the 9/11 memorial on as her Gold Award project, raising money for the plaque that now sits on the boulder, reading ‘We Shall Never Forget’ above a dedication to ‘those who serve.’”
“The village was going to remove the boulder, but after a public outcry, they left it there. On Monday, Gardella-Wood said that last week the village board informed her the signage on the memorial was “obsolete” and she had ten days to remove it or else she could be fined as much as $500 per day. She stated, “I have never heard of a plaque being an issue. There are people who have plaques in their yard all over the place— it is not gaudy, it is not hurting anybody.” She added, “I think this is needed. We have a lot of people who are veterans. By the village wanting it gone, it hurts. People come here and reflect or to get away.”
