The society, which was established in 1864, has more than 4,400 members in Cook, Lake and DuPage counties, making it the largest local society of the American Dental Association. The Chicago Dental Society, the respected leader in scientific dental meetings, will be hosting its 152nd Midwinter Meeting Feb. 23-25, 2017 at the McCormick Place West.

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER District 31 hires new Winkelman principal West Northfield District 31 has hired a DePaul and University of Illinois graduate as its new principal at Winkelman Elementary School. Dana Tamez, a Northbrook resident, has been hired on to replace Michael Kahn, who resigned June 30. Tamez spent the last four years as assistant principal of Hawthorn Middle School South in Vernon Hills. “It’s been wonderful so far — the staff, the students and the community are so welcoming,” Tamez said. “It’s really nice to be a part of the school and giving back to my own community as well.” Tamez has a Master of Education degree in administration and supervision from the University of Illinois and a Master of Education degree in teaching and learning from DePaul. She also has a bachelor’s in Spanish from the University of Texas. Prior to working at Hawthorn, Tamez spent 10 years at Jones College Prep in the South Loop, teaching Spanish and leading the world languages department. She is also a native of the North Shore, having graduated from Deerfield High School. The number one factor that attracted Tamez to Winkelman was its diversity, she said. “Winkelman is unlike a lot of schools on the North Shore,” Tamez said, “in that it has such a high diversity, socioeconomically as well as ethnically. It’s really, really nice to be working in a school where we’re teaching children about the real world and working with others, having tolerance for others.” police From Page 8 Reporting by Matt Yan, Contributing Editor.

THE GLENVIEW LANTERN Village breaks down water meter charges The Village of Glenview addressed residents’ concerns regarding water bill increases during a Water and Sanitary Sewers Workshop on Wednesday, Nov. 30, at Village Hall. Joining Deputy Village Manager Don Owen in providing answers were Amy Ahner, director of administrative services; Sarah Kuechler, the Village’s strategic services manager; Nick Santoro, deputy director of administrative services; Judy Ruiz, resolutions center supervisor; and Jerry Burke, director of public works. Ahner began the workshop with an overview. “There is no profit in these funds,” she said. “Ongoing revenue has to match ongoing expenses. We want correct data. What we don’t want is rate spikes.” She explained that the decision to install and upgrade water meters in all of Glenview’s residences, commercial buildings and apartments between September 2015 and June 2016 was because water meters across the village were approaching or had exceeded the manufacturer’s recommended lifecycle of 20 years. An estimated 8,300 meters were more than 20 years old. The old mechanical meters had internal moving parts that became worn over time, decreasing their effectiveness in registering water consumption.

The historic building, once the center of many community activities, experienced a devastating fire in February 2015 but is slowly returning to its original elegance. “We are glad that no one was injured in the fire,” Edie Rowell, chairwoman of Woman’s Club of Wilmette Clubhouse Rebuilding, said. “Things have taken longer than one would hope but now the process of rebuilding is moving faster.” She said the water poured on the fire caused the building to become a frozen ice block. “The Wilmette Fire Department did an amazing job containing the fire so it did not spread to surrounding buildings,” Rowell said. “They poured a clocked 1.5 million gallons of water on the fire. The Wilmette Water Department also did a wonderful job keeping the pressure up in the fire hydrants so there was enough water to fight the fire.” The result was that about 30 days passed before anyone could enter the structure. “It was difficult at first to assess the extent of the damage,” said Barbara Bischoff, co-chairwoman of the Woman’s Club of Wilmette along with Ruth Smith. “The fire caused so much damage that professionals had to determine the integrity of the remaining structure before we could go in.” The cause of the fire remains HIGHWOOD No information provided by Highwood Police. EDITOR’S NOTE: The Highland Park Landmark’s Police Reports are compiled from official reports emailed from the Highland Park undetermined according to Lt. Jim Bentz, lead investigator from the Wilmette Fire Department. “The fire was so intense that the exact cause cannot be determined,” Bentz said. Reporting by Hilary Anderson, Freelance Reporter.

The Village Board reviewed the 2016 property tax levy during a public hearing at its board meeting on Monday, Nov. 28. The proposed levy will increase property taxes by 1.25 percent. The property tax bill will come out in May and will be due in June and September of 2017. Susan Griffin, finance director for the Village, explained this is the first increase in six years. The increase will affect every property owner differently as it will depend on market value. If a home is valued $600,000 the owner can expect to see a 6 percent increase, which will be $14. The increase will depend on equalized assessed value or market value. The levy is divided into many different categories. It is mostly made up of the local school districts, taking 60 percent and the Village with only 9 percent. The library accounts for 2 percent of the levy. The Village’s surplus is maintaining more than 50 percent, Please see nfyn, 14 Police Department headquarters in Highland Park and found on file at the Highwood Police Department. Individuals named in these reports are considered innocent of all charges until proven guilty in a court of law.
