THE GLENVIEW LANTERN<br />
West Nile virus-positive<br />
mosquitoes found in<br />
Glenview<br />
Two batches of mosquitoes<br />
collected on May 25<br />
from traps in Glenview<br />
and Morton Grove tested<br />
positive for West Nile virus.<br />
According to the North<br />
Shore Mosquito Abatement<br />
District, which conducted<br />
the tests, they were<br />
lb.<br />
lb.<br />
the first West Nile viruspositive<br />
mosquitoes found<br />
in the district this year.<br />
2017 saw four human<br />
cases in the district — two<br />
in Evanston, one in Glencoe<br />
and one in Glenview<br />
— and at least 80 in Illinois,<br />
with the majority appearing<br />
in the Chicagoland<br />
area.<br />
While the risk of being<br />
infected with West Nile<br />
virus is low at this time of<br />
year, the District recommends<br />
that residents take<br />
personal protection measures<br />
to minimize mosquito<br />
bites, including using<br />
insect repellent, wearing<br />
loose fitting clothing, and<br />
avoiding peak mosquito<br />
feeding times during the<br />
hours around dawn and<br />
dusk.<br />
Residents are urged to<br />
examine their property<br />
and eliminate any items<br />
that can hold water, particularly<br />
smaller items that<br />
may be easily overlooked.<br />
Mosquitoes can breed in<br />
anything that holds water.<br />
“West Nile is endemic<br />
to the area, so we have it<br />
every year. It’s just a matter<br />
of to what degree,”<br />
said Communications<br />
Manager Dave Zazra.<br />
“It’s also one of the mosquito<br />
viruses that can kill.<br />
... If you’re lucky, there’s<br />
fever and aches and things<br />
like that, but if it’s neuroinvasive,<br />
that’s where<br />
things get very scary.”<br />

THE GLENCOE ANCHOR<br />
Glencoe Roast to rebrand<br />
under new ownership<br />
For more than nine<br />
years, Yolanda Kowalski<br />
ran Glencoe Roast with the<br />
help of her son, Kevin.<br />
Preparing for retirement<br />
in mid-June, Kowalski sold<br />
the coffee shop last month<br />
to Glencoe residents Lou<br />
and Julie Rubin. Kowalski<br />
stayed on the team to help<br />
through the transition at<br />
700 Vernon Ave.<br />
“It’s a company she’s<br />
owned for nine years, and<br />
she’s worked hard, she’s<br />
done it all on her own and<br />
it’s not easy,” Lou Rubin<br />
said. “I have a lot of respect<br />
for what she’s done there,<br />
and she’s been exceptional<br />
with this handoff.”<br />
The Rubins plan to<br />
make some changes this<br />
summer. They will close<br />
Glencoe Roast sometime<br />
at the end of June or the<br />
beginning of July for a remodel.<br />
Then, they will reopen<br />
the shop with a new<br />
name, Hometown Coffee<br />
and Juice Co., and a new<br />
concept.<br />
“It’s still going to have a<br />
coffee house-feel but we’re<br />
going to redesign it (and)<br />
we’re going to rename it,”<br />
Lou Rubin said. “It’s going<br />
to have a lighter, brighter<br />
feel in there. We’re going<br />
to try to get the windows to<br />
open in the front.”<br />
So far, the only change<br />
they’ve made so far is to<br />
the brand of coffee. Kowalski<br />
served Intelligentsia<br />
coffee, but under the Rubins,<br />
Glencoe Roast now<br />
serves La Colombe.<br />
After the reopening<br />
later this summer, another<br />
change customers will see<br />
is the addition of food selections<br />
and drinks, like<br />
avocado toast, egg sandwiches,<br />
bowls, smoothies<br />
and juices. The menu<br />
will be limited, Lou Rubin<br />
said, but they’ll offer a bigger<br />
selection to add more<br />
food options in downtown<br />
Glencoe.<br />
