meetings with the village
attorney, staff and the
Cook County’s Sheriff’s
Office, is that the Sheriff’s
Office “will take primary
responsibility for enforcement
of the ordinance
within Northbrook” and
the Cook County State’s
Attorney will be responsible
for prosecution of any
violations of the County’s
Blair Holt Act.
“The Cook County
Sheriff’s staff have offered
to meet with the Northbrook
Police Department
to develop protocols for
our police to use to notify
the sheriff if we determine
or discover that a possible
violation has occurred,”
Frum said.

THE GLENCOE ANCHOR
Trier Township trustee
and supervisor.
Aside from being
remembered as a passionate
North Shore resident,
the quotes from the story
that are resonating the
most with me are the ones
about her generous spirit,
passionate approaches,
selflessness, grace, and big
heart (let alone big smile).
In my time working
here, I have noticed historical
dates, annual events
and last names from covering
everything under the
Winnetka and Northfield
sun for the paper. When I
first began working here,
Brennen was the Township
supervisor, and so I
had seen her name, photo
and information attached
to emails about Township
happenings.
So, when I heard the
news a few weeks back
about Brennen’s passing, I
was sad to hear that someone
who’s notes came
through my inbox had
died. When it’s someone
whose job and work you
are familiar with from
election and government
reporting, it resonates.
But aside from being a
passionate local leader for
a variety of causes, I think
what is most important is
the fact that Brennen is
40 vendors to take part in
Glencoe Sidewalk Sale
The Glencoe Chamber
of Commerce kicks off
North Shore’s sidewalk
sale season with its annual
event from June 29-30.
“Our goal is to be the
first of the season,” said
Sally Sprowl, the chamber’s
executive director.
“People know to look for
our sale by the end of June
each year. Our goal is to
attract vendors and not
compete with other towns
that also have sidewalk
sales. We don’t want to be
on the same weekend as
other North Shore towns,
so we carved out this opportunity
to be the first.”
Glencoe’s sale will run
9 a.m.-5 p.m. both days on
Park and Vernon avenues
in downtown Glencoe.
The sidewalk sale features
the village’s own retail
businesses and additional
outside vendors.
In total, Sprowl estimated
there would be about
40 different vendors selling
reduced-price clothing,
jewelry, artwork, household
items, decor and more.
“We do have some organizations
and businesses
that bring brochures and
information to also hand
out,” she added.
The weekend sale will
attract an estimated “hundreds
upon hundreds” of
shoppers to downtown
Glencoe.
“The downtown area of
Glencoe to start with is
very attractive,” Sprowl
said. “It’s very accessible
and once you park, you
can go everywhere. We’ll
line those two streets (Park
and Vernon) that crisscross
each other so it’s
very easy for people to
maneuver around and see
the whole sale.
“You’ll be easily be able
to park, shop, get lunch, a
snack or coffee.”

also remembered for her
good attitude. Work for
others can be a tiring job,
but it was refreshing to
read Brennen truly found
her work to be personally
fulfilling.
I think we can all learn
something from Brennen’s
attitude — the importance
of helping others, but
most importantly, helping
others with a smile and
generous spirit.
