No, this is not the beginning of a joke, but is in reference to the follow-up attempt by local Winnebago Water Rescue Team and the Boone County Emergency Management Agency to locate the two dummies that were left in the lake following the practice emergency rescue that took place in our lake on September 18th. On the 18th the weather took a turn for the worse and the practice had to be called off.
The teams returned to CWL this past Sunday, Setember 26th and were able to locate one of the dummies, but one dummy is still missing. When available, the teams will return again to search for the remaining dummy in the south end of the lake, near the dam. I just wanted to let anyone who is in the vicinity of the lake know that Rescue Randy, as he is known, is still lurking in our waters.
