THE WINNETKA CURRENT
Winnetkans oversee
college preparedness
program for Chicago kids
It was in 1999 when
Winnetka resident Patrick
Baldwin first heard about
the Summer of a Lifetime
program. Soon, he
was enthralled about the
prospects of what it could
achieve for some Chicago
students.
“It was a program that
hit me, it was a program
that I thought would work
and from that point on I
said I wanted to lend my
energy, my money, my
time and if I can help raise
funds for this foundation, I
wanted to do it,” Baldwin
said.
Summer of a Lifetime
aims to take selected high
school sophomores from
the Noble Network of
Charter Schools who then
take courses over the summer
in person and live at
one of nearly 100 different
colleges or universities
Mosquito control in
Highland Park
As we enter mosquito
season, the City
of Highland Park and
the Southlake Mosquito
Abatement District remind
residents to take a number
of precautions to avoid being
bitten. Mosquitoes can
carry different types of diseases,
like West Nile virus
and Zika virus, but there
are a number of steps you
can take to protect yourself
from mosquito bites.
• Reduce: Make sure
doors and windows have
tight-fitting screens. Repair
or replace screens that have
tears or other openings. Try
to keep doors and windows
shut. Eliminate, or refresh
each week, all sources of
standing water where mosquitoes
can breed, including
water in bird baths,
ponds, flowerpots, wading
pools, old tires, and any
other containers.
• Repel: when outdoors,
wear shoes and socks,
long pants and a longsleeved
shirt, and apply
insect repellent that contains
DEET, picaridin, oil
of lemon eucalyptus or
IR 3535, according to label
instructions. Consult a
physician before using repellents
on infants.
• Report: Report locations
to Southlake Mosquito
Abatement District
where you see water sitting
stagnant for more than
a week such as roadside
ditches, flooded yards, and
similar locations that may
produce mosquitoes.

middle of the pool, which
is probably about 3.6 feet
deep,” Park District Marketing
Coordinator Ann
Ziolkowski said. “The
guard saw him on the pool
floor and blew his whistle,

guards blew their whistles.
He jumped in the pool,
pulled the child up and
started performing mouth

Another lifeguard called
911. A Northbrook police
