In other police news: March 6 THE GLENVIEW LANTERN Third annual mah-jongg tournament draws largest crowd yet March Madness isn’t limited to basketball. In this instance, the name of the game was mah-jongg and 96 ladies came to the Glenview Senior Center on March 4 to play in its third annual tournament. Twenty-eight tables were set up in The East Wing and, in keeping with mah-jongg rules, there were four players at each table. The tournament was the brain child of Janet Steinberg, program coordinator at the East Wing, and she has seen a significant increase in popularity each year. “We had 50 players the first year and 68 the second year,” she said. “Now we have 96. There are a lot of ladies who love to play.” Mah-jongg is a tilebased game that was developed in China and became popular there in the 18th and 19th centuries. The tiles are adorned with Chinese characters and various designs. • Packages that were delivered and left unattended were reported stolen at 3:51 p.m. in the 200 block of Old Green Bay Road. March 5 • A resident’s credit card and information was fraudulently used to purchase $495 worth of products. The resident received the shipment and reported the identity theft at 3:04 p.m. The game came to the U.S. in the 1920s, first becoming popular in the Washington D.C. area, and it spread across the country. It is a game of skill, strategy and calculation, and involves a degree of chance. Seemingly once someone gets hooked on mahjongg, it becomes a lifetime pastime. “I’ve been playing for almost 60 years,” said Sandra Posner, who came from Wheeling to play in the tournament. “My daughter, Stacey, was born in 1960 and that’s when I started playing. I played with her on my lap when she was a baby. I don’t come to win; I come to enjoy myself.” Reporting by Neil Milbert, Freelance Reporter. Full story at GlenviewLantern. com.
