Just peachy: Northfield students showcase ‘James and the Giant Peach Jr.’ at Sunset Ridge Become a Current Plus member: winnetkacurrent.com/plus From the Editor A roaring opportunity for local audiences Jacqueline Glosniak jacqueline@winnetkacurrent.com Last week, I spoke with Richard Laible, a Winnetkan who is bringing his personal comedy expertise and connections with local and known comedians to kick-off a new monthly comedy night series at The Book Stall. From talking with him, I was very impressed to discover his extensive improv and entertainment background. He is helping bring comedy to the people, and I think that’s a great thing most other suburbs can’t claim as something they have. I am continually surprised by the amount of talent from local residents and the various opportunities locals have to either learn from or be entertained by some of the best professionals, educators, entertainers and authors. Winnetkans and Northfielders should really cherish that its residents and businesses up the ante when it comes to local programming. I hope those of you looking for a fun night in the North Shore will get your tickets before the shows sell out. The Village of Northfield posted on May 9: “Greeley School students recently participated in an essay contest, answering the question, “Why is it important to serve your community?” Although many students submitted great essays, ultimately the winner was Caroline! As part of her prize, Caroline got to spend the school day with Officer Victoria Taylor. Officer Taylor presented Caroline with a certificate of achievement, and then got to show off her “pin bombardment” skills in gym class. Congratulations Caroline!” #WinnetkaPD #EssayContestWinner #CommunityService” Like The Winnetka Current: facebook.com/ winnetkacurrent “Lots of happy faces as we prepared our IGSS garden for planting today.

Letters to the Editor Get a grip, D36 In the May 3 issue, your column [From the Editor] praised the Winnetka Public Schools District 36 School Board for their long-range thinking about District 36 schools. In your editorial, you commented on the changes that took place in your own community schools, especially the high school. As a 43-year Winnetka resident, I have watched as school populations have risen, fallen and risen again. It’s a cyclical phenomenon that occurs in every community across the world and will continue for a very long time. In 1984, the District 36 School Board voted to raze Skokie School due to low enrollment. Following outrage by the community, the board reversed this decision. In fiscal year ’87/’88, the New Trier board voted to sell New Trier West due to low enrollment. Again, public protest reversed the decision, and as the student population again exploded, the West campus was available for the overflow. I don’t disagree that school districts need to look to and plan for a future that offers students educational opportunities in areas that appear to be “future rising.” However, providing all the bells and whistles does little if the educational component is lacking. While I no longer have children attending Winnetka schools, I think the District 36 board is exhibiting Additionally, continuing to save during retirement and choosing to pick up extra work can help foster financial independence by maintaining the longevity of your retirement account. With a commitment to basic financial principals, you may find it easier to remain comfortably in an attitude inconsistent with the realities of today’s economics. The New York Times, in reference to university expansion and subsequent tuition increases, (which, by the way, have resulted in two-times the rate of inflation for the past 17 years), called it the “Edifice Complex.” Sounds right to me. So, District 36 School Board — get a grip. Focus on the educational priorities; expand our reach in STEM and other areas of future significance; maintain local schools that residents want and expect; fix what needs to be fixed; and, most importantly, teach students to learn how to learn.
