EVANSTON, Ill. (WLS) — Lighthouse Beach is off-limits while crews continue their search Monday for a swimmer who disappeared after jumping in the water.

Assisted by Chicago and other suburban fire departments and the U.S. Coast Guard, crews, for now, are focusing on a half-mile area starting at Lighthouse Beach and heading south. They are using sonar and other technology, but the turbulent water is making things difficult.
“Even our rescuers this morning, during the search effort, was reporting extremely hazardous current and wave conditions that they were facing as they were in their vessels,” said Matt Smith with the Evanston Fire Department.

It was Sunday afternoon when an emergency call came in regarding four swimmers struggling in the water.
Joe Flanagan said he saw everything unfold.
Flanagan was at Lighthouse Beach with his son-in-law and grandson. He said two teenage girls were having difficulty in the water when a woman and a man jumped in to help them.
“It just didn’t look like everything was going well, so I got down to my shorts and jumped in water, grabbed mother and the daughter, and one of the other girls, and pulled them up,” Flanagan said.
Flanagan got the teen girls and the woman to safety, but when he went back in to look for the man, he could not find him. He said a red flag was up at the beach, signifying no swimming. He says it is important for people to heed safety warnings.

“The only reason I’m here right now, talking to you, is because people have to know that this is really dangerous. That water is incredibly dangerous,” Flanagan said.
Just Monday morning, a man died after being pulled from the lake near Montrose Beach.
Dave Benjamin with the Great Lake Surf Rescue Project said around 50 people drown in Lake Michigan each year, and that knowing how to swim does not guarantee survival.
“Essentially, what we need people to do is float to live, float to survive. They need to flip over on their back and float, stay on the surface until they can either self-rescue, or a professional can rescue them,” Benjamin said.
Michigan had a mild winter and is experiencing a warm summer, resulting in early activity of a few insect pests as the peak of blueberry harvest approaches. Michigan State University is seeing increases in blueberry maggot and spotted wing drosophila catches at various monitoring sites in southwest Michigan in the past week. Growers with ripening and ripe blueberries should be protecting those fields using effective insecticides.

There are various options registered for these pests, with high efficacy and short preharvest intervals that can be used during harvest season. See the Michigan State University Extension bulletin E154, “Michigan Fruit Management Guide,” for recommendations. This publication is available in hard copy and as a downloadable PDF.
For timing your insecticide applications against spotted wing drosophila, place monitoring traps with a bait made of brewer’s yeast or a commercial lure in fields as shown in Figure 1.
Blueberry maggot can be managed using applications every 10 to 14 days, but protection against spotted wing drosophila requires a tighter spray interval. You can also monitor berry infestation levels by taking weekly fruit samples focused on fields approaching harvest to check that they remain free of insects. Michigan State University has developed a short, 8-minute video explaining this method and providing guidance on the simple equipment needed.
DETROIT. (WILX) – On Sunday afternoon, two rivals came together to give back to the community. Michigan State Quarterback Aidan Chiles and Michigan Quarterback Alex Orji hosted the I AM Quarterback Youth Development Camp in Detroit.
Aidan is entering his sophomore season and his first chance to be a starting quarterback for MSU in the fall. Chiles has been extremely active in the community in the limited time that he’s been living in Michigan. One of the teammates that he’s gotten extremely close to is freshman wide receiver Nick Marsh. The two called each other twins and were both at the camp together, supporting the same cause.
Orji is currently in the middle of a battle for the starting QB role with Michigan and has been working hard to prove himself to the new coaching staff. Alex was running kids through drills on Sunday that he does in order to work on his craft. No matter if Orji wins the job or not it would be expected that the Wolverines would still use him as points with how dangerous he is running the football. Despite these two sides coming together for a good cause the competition will remain the same on the field.
“We want to beat them 50-0,” said Orji.
