This is a link to some ABC7 video.
Toward the end, Linda
Leffingwell of Tempel Farms is interviewed. "Tim" (Tempel) Smith has
offered land at Tempel Farms for use by Chicago 2016 for the Olympic equestrian
events -- to avoid their being held at Lakewood Forest Preserve. (Also see other posted links on the VPF website regarding all
this.)
The Lake Co. Forest
Preserve Dist. Board has given Tim's idea the cold
shoulder.
However, the fact that Ms.
Leffingwell made the trip to Rio should give us some hope; perhaps Mayor Daley
and Mr. Ryan are listening.
