Boilingbrook Yacht Club keeps quirky name in cornfield regatta
Bolingbrook residents form a waterfront vibe in a landlocked suburb with boats of cardboard and a pink flamingo trophy. Commodore Dennis Scott jokes the club is called Bolingbrook by the Sea as they hold a regatta in a corn field, far from Lake Michigan. In Boston, the Bull & Finch Pub keeps its name as Cheers stars attend a 200th episode celebration parade. The pub, opened in 1969, remains a landmark, cited by owner Thomas Kershaw for preserving the Bull & Finch tradition.

Bush Signs Emergency Budget to Avert US Government Shutdown
President Bush signed emergency legislation early today to keep the government open for 11 more days amid a budget stalemate. He warned there is no assurance the broader plan will yield full federal workforce savings, as Congress moves toward a final reconciliation bill. The package, approved 362-3 in the House and 66-33 in the Senate, could cut the deficit by up to $500 billion over five years if fully enacted, though details remain uncertain. Bush pledged “no smoke, no mirrors” and said he will not sign a final bill without real savings.
