THE NORTHBROOK TOWER<br />

Northbrook couple killed<br />

by son in Las Vegas<br />

A Northbrook couple<br />

and their son were found<br />

dead Wednesday, June 1,<br />

in what police believe to<br />

be a double murder-suicide<br />

in Las Vegas.<br />

The bodies of Arthur<br />

Wulf, 69, Jan Morgan-<br />

Wulf, 66, and Aaron Wulf,<br />

36, were discovered after<br />

police received a call of<br />

a domestic disturbance at<br />

10:49 a.m.<br />

When officers arrived<br />

for a welfare check, they<br />

discovered Aaron dead<br />

of an apparent gunshot<br />

wound on a second-floor<br />

landing and the couple deceased<br />

inside an upstairs<br />

bedroom.<br />

The parents had been<br />

stabbed and shot, police<br />

said.<br />

The initial investigation<br />

indicated the son killed his<br />

parents and turned the gun<br />

on himself.<br />

behind the scenes, but the<br />

knowledge and positive<br />

attitude he brings to work<br />

every day translates into<br />

a great experience for our<br />

patients. We are an outstanding<br />

hospital, thanks<br />

to our dedicated employees<br />

like Dan. We are fortunate<br />

to have Dan on our<br />

team.”<br />

Nicknamed “The Legend”<br />

by many of his coworkers,<br />

Niskanen returned<br />

the compliment:<br />

“Every day I get to go to<br />

a place I believe in. In a<br />

way, I am helping our patients<br />

and making lives<br />

better. I love the job. I love<br />

the people. I can’t imagine<br />

working anywhere else.”<br />

But, he added, “I need to<br />

slow down a little bit.”<br />

THE HIGHLAND PARK LANDMARK<br />

Highland Park’s dog<br />

‘leader’ a sight in town<br />

If you drive around<br />

Highland Park much,<br />

you’ve probably noticed<br />

Jeremy Caplan out walking<br />

his canine friends in<br />

an orderly, well-mannered<br />

pack, as many as 12<br />

abreast.<br />

The 29-year-old lifelong<br />

Highland Park resident,<br />

owner of Sawyer’s<br />

Dog House, specializes<br />

in behavioral training<br />

techniques and “constructive<br />

socialization” that<br />

strengthen the bond between<br />

owner and dog and<br />

fortify relationships.<br />

He begins a client relationship<br />

with a “behavior<br />

consultation,” which is<br />

designed to give the owners<br />

of dogs of all ages and<br />

sizes the skills needed to<br />

effectively communicate<br />

with their pet.<br />

“I teach people how to<br />

be present with their dog<br />

and how to express their<br />

confidence and their assertive<br />

energy, which is what<br />

dogs need,” said Caplan,<br />

who is also a certified instructor<br />

in Hatha, a particular<br />

type of yoga.<br />

“What I offer that most<br />

programs don’t is training<br />

amongst other dogs,”<br />

he said, adding that those<br />

walks are a way for dogs<br />

to learn valuable social<br />

skills. “Each dog becomes<br />

a member of the pack,<br />

which allows their K9 instincts<br />

to be fulfilled. This<br />

is a great opportunity for<br />

young dogs to learn how a<br />

pack functions, respecting<br />

other members of the pack<br />

and learning how to walk<br />

with a human leader.<br />

French Fry<br />

Chris Pullam, Editor<br />

Hello err’body. My<br />

name is French Fry,<br />

but most people call<br />

me Sunny because<br />

I’m orange like the<br />

sun. I have two<br />

adopted younger<br />

siblings, Zonk and<br />

S’maxwell, that I<br />

only barely get along<br />

with. They’re too playful and I just want to sleep<br />

and cuddle all day. But they’re okay. I like to play<br />

outside on the porch and driveway, but I don’t like<br />

the grass.<br />

retire after 50 years<br />

automation and medical<br />

Hospital, on the occasion<br />

of Niskanen’s retirement<br />
