While it may be invisible to the blind eye, Blumberg said there are a number of people in Highland Park who rely on federally subsidized healthcare. While the city has services to aid income constrained families, they could go without insurance if they miss the enrollment window. “I have actively, to the extent that I am able, posted on social media and made it clear the enrollment period is limited,” he said. He has encouraged others to undertake similar efforts to raise awareness. He called the actions by the current administration “malicious” and said the first priority should be making sure people have health insurance.
LakeForestLeader.com NEWS the lake forest leader | November 9, 2017 | 11 The Lake Forest Leader to stay free Thank you to our loyal readers Staff Report Thanks to all the Lake Forest and Lake Bluff residents who formally requested the newspaper, The Lake Forest Leader will remain free of charge. Because of these diligent residents, The Leader qualified and was recently approved for second-class mail status by the U.S. Postal Service. One of the requirements of the USPS to attain this status is that more than half the homes in the community sign a card requesting the publication. The Leader’s qualification for this vaunted status means Lake Forest and Lake Bluff residents will receive their Leader on time with priority service and that the postal costs for The Leader have been greatly reduced, thereby allowing the paper to remain free. If you are one of the residents who has not returned an official and do not want to rely on the good graces of your neighbors or have had the delivery of your paper discontinued, you can still do your part at LakeForestLeader. com/delivery. If you are unsure about whether you returned your card, contact our circulation professionals at (708) 326-9170, and they can check the mailing list. Thank you again to our loyal readers for embracing The Leader and the excellent participation in our program to keep The Leader free. Even more good news is that we will not have to ask you for help again until 2019, when the requests expire and the USPS will ask us to repeat the process. Pedal Power hits decade mark of bike collecting Kiddles Sports in Lake Forest donates to Chicagoland schools Alexa Burnell, Freelance Reporter In 2007, Wilmette’s Nicole Basil decided she wanted to help students from inner city schools. She created Pedal Power, an organization that collects used bikes and donates them to Chicagoland schools. The New Trier senior will be standing outside McKenzie Elementary to collect bikes on Saturday, Nov. 11, for the last time before she heads off to college next fall. Basil’s story begins 10 years ago, when at the young age of 8, she faced the tough task of giving away her outgrown bike. Saddened by the thought, she came up with a solution to ease her woes. “I thought ‘what if my bike could go to someone who really needed it, and loved it as much as I have,’” she said. This incident sparked the creation of Pedal Power, and since then, more than 3,000 bikes In Memoriam <strong>LF</strong> man touched lives through music, real estate and philanthropy Alan P. Henry, Freelance Reporter Robert Reaumond, of Lake Forest, who had an impactful presence in the Chicago commercial real estate community for 35 Reaumond years, and before that was a professional musician who toured with four Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees, died Oct. 26 at age 59. After graduating from Oak Park-River Forest High School, Reaumond spent the late 1970s have been collected and donated. The two main recipients are the students of Cesar Chavez Multicultural Academic Center, where bikes are used as a reward for those who make honor roll, and North Side Learning Prep, where students with significant intellectual disabilities use old bike parts as instructional tools. Running Pedal Power has helped Basil hone business skills at an early age. She has fearlessly cold-called businesses, securing sponsorships along the way. A few years back, she even struck a deal with Home Depot in Evanston, who agreed to become a year-long donation site. Most recently, Basil has partnered with Divvy Bikes, who will help with publicity and the transportation of donated bikes. In addition, Pedal Power has expanded, adding two new collection sites in Libertyville and Elmhurst. “Creating Pedal Power has been such a wonderful experience,” Basil said. “I’ve learned basic organization and communications skills, and how to be persistent. The best part has and early 1980s as a professional pianist. When Hall of Famers Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Little Anthony, and the Shirelles came to town to perform, they hired Reaumond. He also played with Tommy James. When Reaumond decided it was time to seek out steadier work, it wasn’t easy, said his son, Paul Reaumond. “He would tell stories about how no one would hire him, and about knocking on doors until finally someone gave him an opportunity. From there it was a rocket ship for him,” Paul Reaumond said. The Lake Forest resident joined CBRE, now the world’s largest commercial real estate services and investment firm, in 1982, and remained with the firm throughout his career, rising to the position of executive vice president. He represented a “Who’s Who” of major institutions and corporations, specializing in integrating the vertical services of CBRE to benefit the clients’ overall goals. One of the many facets of his work involved consulting with manufacturing firms moving to Mexico and Americanizing the process for them.

Locally, she has enlisted family friends in Elmhurst to keep Pedal Power alive, and will pass the torch to fifth-grader Meg Erickson, who will take over in Wilmette. “I used to babysit [Meg] and she was always very interested in Pedal Power,” Basil said. “When she asked if she could help when I moved on to college, I knew all would be well. Meg is super perceptive of others and how they’re feeling. She also asks such great questions and loves to talk to people. Also, the fact that she asked if she could get involved at such a young age showed a lot of strength and character and I really liked that. She is so enthusiastic and I know she’s going to do a great job. “ For more information on Pedal Power, or to find all 10 donation sites in Illinois, visit www. gopedalpower.com.
