8 | August 24, 2017 | The lake forest leader NEWS LakeForestLeader.com Mocha-chan The Sorkin family, Lake Forest Mocha-chan is a 13-yearold, 8 pound, Japanese ‘Tiny Toy’ poodle. He was born in Japan and spent his first four years in Tokyo, before moving to Boston and then to Lake Forest. When he plays with squeaky toys, the sound makes him howl, as he doesn’t seem to realize that HE is the one causing the squeaks. Mocha will do most anything for a treat, but almost nothing without one. He has his family well trained. HELP! The Lake Forest Leader is in search of more pets. To see your pet featured as Pet of the Week, send a photo and information to alyssa@lakeforestleader.com or 60 Revere Drive, Suite 888, Northbrook, IL 60062.

Despite their grief, however, they stand committed to stamping out the stigma associated with mental illness, while advocating for the safety of rideshare drivers everywhere. The Nelson family gathered with friends at the Runner’s Edge Monday, Aug. 14 in Wilmette’s Plaza Del Lago to promote the upcoming National Alliance on Mental Illness of Cook County North Suburban Walk/Run. The event is scheduled for Sept. 24 at Clark Street Beach in Evanston. Grant Nelson, 34, a graduate of New Trier High School, was fatally attacked in May in Lincolnwood. He picked up a rider in the early morning hours of May 30 a few blocks from a Walmart in Skokie and, minutes into the ride, near the corner of Touhy and Lincoln avenues in Lincolnwood, the rider began stabbing him. He eventually succumbed to his injuries. Tina Nelson, Grant’s mother, has been involved with NAMI since 1998, when she first sought help for one of her own family members. The support, compassion, education and friendship she found at NAMI motivated her to not only become a board member, but a facilitator of programs as well. “There is hope for those afflicted with mental illness,” she said.

THE GLENVIEW LANTERN Holocaust survivor celebrates 100th birthday at retirement home Frederika Halski smiled broadly as she clutched a bouquet of flowers presented to her by Vi at the Glen in celebration of her 100th birthday on Aug. 10. It was a smile reflective of a comfortable adult life as a loving wife, mother of two, grandmother of four and great-grandmother of three. That happiness has extended to her life at Vi for the past 13 years, where until a recent fall she enjoyed line dancing, art classes, playing games and the company of many friends. Frederika was also “incredibly emotionally resilient,” said her daughter Joyce Frank, and it was a resilience earned the hard way, as her smile masked an unspeakable darkness. Her parents, their siblings and roughly 200 members of her extended family were killed in Poland by the Germans during the Holocaust. She escaped death by hiding with others for 22 months in the crawl space of a home, and coming out only at night to eat whatever scraps of food kind neighbors could share with them. Joyce, her sister Alma and other family members were told pieces of her harrowing story over the years, but Frederika preferred to downplay it. “She would talk about it if you asked her,” Joyce said. “I wouldn’t say she was haunted by it, but it was extremely painful.” Reporting by Alan P. Henry, Freelance Reporter. Full story at GlenviewLantern. com. THE GLENCOE ANCHOR Water plant intake pipe cleaning closes beach this week An excessive build-up of sand and sediment will be cleaned out of Glencoe’s Water Plant intake pipe and the Glencoe Beach will be tentatively closed from Monday- Thursday, Aug. 21-24. The Village approved a $250,000 contract with Northern Divers USA, Inc. of Spring Grove, to begin this process, which started Monday. The cleaning will require the use of seven diesel engine pumps operating continuously over a period of several days to flush out the sand and sediment. These pumps will be located on Glencoe Beach just south of the Glencoe Water Plant, according to a Village press release. For the safety of residents and Glencoe Beach patrons, the water will be closed during the pipe cleaning due to the dangerous undercurrent that the pumps will create in the work zone near the beach. No swimming, sailing or kayaking near Glencoe Beach will be permitted. During the week of July 31, a biennial inspection of the Village of Glencoe’s 24-inch water intake pipe, which extends 3,300 feet into Lake Michigan, revealed a heavy buildup, Public Works Director David Mau said. The pipe is the primary source of water to the Glencoe Water Plant. “The inspection is a regular maintenance project,” Mau said. “Anytime they find this, usually in the intake cones, they can clean it out themselves and flush it out at the end of the pipe. This year, they noted they were seeing more material further into the pipe. “Water levels and the rising and falling of the lake level creates different movement of sand along lakefront. A number of factors happen and it churns up the water and sentiment, which can enter the pipe.” Reporting by Megan Bernard, Contributing Editor. Full story at GlencoeAnchor. com. THE NORTHBROOK TOWER Strong opposition to Northbrook assisted living proposal continues Indications are that the proposed Heritage Woods assisted living facility at Techny and Shermer Road will be voted down when the Northbrook Plan Commission reconvenes on Sept. 5. A standing room only crowd that spilled over into an adjacent room with a television monitor came to Village Hall on Aug. 15. The meeting was the second hearing on the proposal that was introduced in December and again there was an angry outcry from residents of the neighborhood. Plan Commission members intend to vote no after a resolution to approve the 105-unit facility is drafted and presented at the Sept. 5 meeting.
