As recent weeks<br />
have passed, more<br />
and more breaking<br />
news alerts have piled<br />
up in my email.<br />
Those alerts — some<br />
startling with “murder”<br />
and “stabbing” in their<br />
headlines — are coming<br />
from our 22nd Century<br />
Media Plus Program,<br />
where readers can sign<br />
up for an account to view<br />
stories online, receive<br />
breaking news alerts like<br />
these and even more.<br />
Luckily though, these<br />
emails aren’t coming<br />
from The Glencoe Anchor<br />
Plus, rather our sister papers<br />
throughout the North<br />
Shore.<br />
These nearby breaking<br />
stories, like the murdersuicide<br />
case that occurred<br />
in Lake Forest and the<br />
daughter who stabbed<br />
her mother in Wilmette,<br />
can be read in our News<br />
From Your Neighbors<br />
feature on Page 11. My<br />
colleagues have done an<br />
excellent job reporting<br />
these and also staying<br />
on top of them for any<br />
updates.<br />
As I proudly publish<br />
their work in this weekly<br />
feature and read their full<br />
stories online, I can’t help<br />
but think back to here,<br />
relatively safe Glencoe.<br />
I feel lucky that I do<br />
not have to report these<br />
types of major new stories<br />
here; they are horrific<br />
and awfully sad to detail<br />
for readers in print.<br />
Sure, writing these<br />
stories up may give a<br />
reporter an adrenaline<br />
high, but when you think<br />
about the actual people<br />
involved, it’s troublesome.<br />
Which leads me to<br />
question: What’s going<br />
on with the crime on the<br />
North Shore?<br />
Has Glencoe always<br />
been this low compared<br />
to the other towns?<br />
If you take a look at<br />
our police reports (Page 6<br />
this week), the only reoccurring<br />
theme you’ll find<br />
throughout the year is<br />
stolen vehicles. There are<br />
few and far between major<br />
arrests and/or violent<br />
crimes — thankfully.<br />
I’ve even gotten to<br />
the point of just saving a<br />
couple inches of column<br />
space for these reports,<br />
knowing there won’t be<br />
many to publish.<br />
Pride yourself of this. If<br />
you didn’t already know<br />
it, in my opinion, you’re<br />
living in one of the safest<br />
communities in the North<br />
Shore. Let’s keep it that<br />
way.<br />
go figure<br />
An intriguing number from this week’s edition<br />
