When there's a fire at a hospital, it's the duty of hospital, police and fire officials to let people know what's happening.
When scanners reported a fire at Delnor Hospital around 6:12 p.m., there was still a little light in the sky. When the Geneva Fire Department released a report, it was pitch black at 10:15 p.m.—more than three hours after the fire reportedly was put out at about 7 p.m. That's simply too long to keep people in the dark. The hard truth is that there was a fire at a hospital last night, and nobody—not one public servant or hospital official—thought it was important enough to let the public know about it. No notice to the media. No Nixle e-mail blast. No post on the hospital website. As of 1 p.m. today, Friday, there is still no mention of it on the hospital website. If you can find it, let me know. Any resident who had a family member in a …

The swans at Delnor Pond are dangerous and beautiful—and they have a story that stretches over the past decade.
Ricky and Lucy, a pair of mated mute swans, have returned for their 10th summer at Delnor Pond on the campus of Delnor Hospital. Every spring on their return, the first thing they do is circle the pond in opposite directions. They then meet in the center of the pond facing each other. “They make a perfect heart, just like you see on cards,” said Ron Daszkiewicz, the Delnor employee who for the last four years has fed and taken care of Ricky, Lucy and their hatchlings, called cygnets. Male swans, called cobs, are quite aggressive in defending their territory and their young, said Daszkiewicz. “Ricky’s the guard dog. He doesn’t like me because I make him go where he doesn’t want to go. He nearly took my knee out one day when I first …
