And it doesn't aggravate Karl's ongoing back issue. Thanks to indoor pools like the one at their gym in Countryside, the Meyers can enjoy their favorite form of exercise...

The flooding created several voids under the roadway that had to be stabilized, he said. "Now we're shifting our focus with the village to...
