6 | November 9, 2017 | The glencoe anchor NEWS glencoeanchor.com THE WINNETKA CURRENT Hillary Clinton meets with fans at Winnetka book signing Chilly winds and the start of the work week were not enough to deter 1,000 Hillary Clinton supporters from lining up around the block in downtown Winnetka on Oct. 30 as Clinton made a stop at The Book Stall during a Chicago trip to discuss her new memoir, “What Happened.” Lucky fans were able to secure their spots in line to briefly meet with the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate and get a copy of Clinton’s book signed. Tickets, which were priced at $32.70, sold out within minutes on The Book Stall’s website the day the event was announced earlier last month. While Clinton did not grant any press interviews at the event — which was held nearly a year after her defeat to Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election — she did have one thing to say in response to the day’s news of U.S. Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s first indictments into the investigation into Russian election interference. “I have a great chapter about Russia in here,” Clinton told the press. In response to other reporter questions about the election dodged at her before the first guest came up IT’S TIME TO SIGN UP FOR SNOW PLOWING CALL TODAY 847-272-7180 to her table, Clinton added, “You can find out what happened and what’s still happening.” Clinton fans from the North Shore who turned out for the event included Northfield residents Julia Hauldren and Lisa Klare. “I would say we’re Hillary fans for life,” Hauldren said, elated after meeting Clinton. “I just think that she’s probably one of the most influential people in my lifetime, and it was just an opportunity to meet her that I couldn’t resist.” Reporting by Jacqueline Glosniak, Contributing Editor.

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER Operation Santa Claus spreads the joy of reading for 27th year Operation Santa Claus is back — and this year, the organization will be servicing more children than ever before. The program, first started 27 years ago, connects willing sponsors with inner-city schools to bring books to children during the Christmas season. Gary Moriello, a resident of Northbrook, helped start Operation Santa Claus in 1991 when he was principal at Gladstone Elementary School. After an idea to bring gifts to students was brought to his attention, Moriello and his fellow coworkers decided they would start a new program to bring Christmas joy to the lives of students during the holiday season. In the beginning years, Operation Santa Claus serviced grades K-3 and brought a variety of toys for students. The operation expanded to serve the entire school after receiving positive feedback. But in 1997, the school’s reading scores began rapidly declining, causing faculty to reconsider the program. Literacy rates hit an all-time low, placing the school on probation, thus Moriello and the school decided to dedicate Operation Santa Claus to solely giving students books. Now, more than 27 years later, Moriello is retired and Operation Santa Claus is run through the Northbrook Rotary Club as an annual holiday volunteer incentive. After Gladstone closed its door shortly after Moriello retired, the organization shifted and expanded to Goethe and Forrestal elementary schools. Moriello estimates that the program will now service roughly 1,250 children this year. Reporting by Martin Carlino, Contributing Editor. Full story at NorthbrookTower. com. THE HIGHLAND PARK LANDMARK Ex-Highland Park mayor was one of Chicago’s most famous architects NFL player Jonathan Linton, Smashing Pumpkins lead singer Billy Corgan, astronaut John Grunsfeld, Green Party candidate Jill Stein and, of course, Michael Jordan are just a few on the long list of important people who either lived or grew up in Highland Park. However, not all famous residents were stars on television, went to space or are prominent political figures. Julia Johnas, author of “Highland Park: Settlement to the 1920s” and director of adult services at the Highland Park Library, was at the library on her own time Oct. 30 with the Highland Park Historical Society to talk about a lesser renowned but very important figure in Highland Park’s history. William W. Boyington, an architect famous for the 1869 water tower on North Michigan Avenue, first came to the attention of Jeffrey Stern of the Highland Park Historical Society when he was looking through a list of former city mayors. “I knew [Boyington had designed] the water tower, but it wasn’t until I was looking at the mayors of Highland Park over the years that I saw his name and it sort of clicked with me that this has to be the same guy,” Johnas said. Boyinton’s enduring designs — now all more than 100 years old — include the Rosehill Cemetery gate in Chicago, the water tower, the log house built for Sylvester Millard in Highland Park and countless other structures in Chicago that were either torn down or burned down. He became a resident of Highland Park in 1874, after his second home burned down in Chicago. He remained in Highland Park until his death in 1898. Reporting by Margaret Tazioli, Freelance Reporter.
