SOUTH HAVEN | Little information was available Saturday on a Friday evening accident that sent five people to the hospital, including a child airlifted to a suburban Chicago facility.

The accident occurred about 7:30 p.m. Friday at the intersection of U.S. 6 and McCool Road.

Lt. Chris Eckert, Porter County Sheriff's Department spokesman, said a full report would not be available until Monday. Eckert said two vehicles were involved in the accident and one individual was ejected from one of the vehicles.

South Haven Fire Chief Ron Brehmer said five patients were transported, some of whom had minor injuries.

A child, however, was airlifted to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Ill. No report on the condition of that child or anyone else involved in the accident was available Saturday.

In addition to South Haven Fire Department and sheriff's police, Portage police and emergency medical services and Porter hospital ambulances responded to the scene.

 SOUTH HAVEN | American Legion Post 502 will host a Community Festival Aug. 6 and 7.

It’s that time of year again and we are planning an even bigger party than last year. The South Haven Fire Department is proud to present the 6th Annual Firefighter’s Ball on March 13th, 2010. The festivities will again be held at Duneland Falls Banquet Hall on S.R. 149. With the addition of a Silent Auction, we are expecting this to again be a huge success.

Cocktail hour will begin at 6:00 p.m. with dinner served at 7:00 p.m. Following dinner, the department will hold an awards ceremony honoring members of the department for outstanding achievement during the previous year as well as citizens of our community who went above and beyond the call in support of the department or their neighbors.
