wilmettebeacon.com SOUND OFF the wilmette beacon | September 27, 2018 | 29 Social snapshot Top Web Stories From WilmetteBeacon.com as of Sept. 24 1. Bomb squad searches WJH; police say juvenile had guns, interest in explosives 2. Funeral service for Sebastian Duncan set for Sept. 22 in Wilmette 3. Wilmette provides ‘fantastic course’ for North Shore Triathlon 4. Wilmette native remembered for ‘smile, laugh, enthusiasm, energy’ 5. Underwriters Laboratories employee suffered medical emergency in Northbrook From the Editor Time to address Kanye moving to Wilmette rumors Eric DeGrechie eric@wilmettebeacon.com Many years ago, I interviewed for a job with the New York Post. As part of the interview, I was assigned several desk shifts in the sports department. In the that newsroom back in the early 2000s, sports was located right next to the Page 6 department, also known as the gossip page, in the newspaper. Remember, this was before TMZ. Reporters for Page 6 were on the phone talking to sources about who had seen who — and where — around the city. They were interesting conversations to say the least. I did not end up taking the job. Fast-forward to the present where rumors of Kanye West moving to Chicago are abundant. I’ve even had a few people in my ear saying that he could end up in Wilmette. Time will tell. If he does live on the North Shore, I’ll make sure to channel my younger self and keep everyone up to date on all the gossip.

How many petition signatures are required or allowed? What’s the proper form of candidate petitions? What are the rules for circulating petitions and running an election campaign? What other filing requirements and deadlines must be met? If you go to the websites of the various governmental units, or if you call their administrators, you may or may not get assistance. The governmental units have no legal obligation to advise candidates, and some are concerned that they might give advice that somehow creates a problem. Fortunately, the Illinois State Board of Elections has issued materials that do a good job of guiding candidates through the process. These materials can be found at the ISBE’s website. There are also current and former officials in our villages who’ve been through the process. They appreciate the willingness of newcomers to serve, and most are happy to help if asked. You can also consult with an attorney who specializes in election law, but let’s be real — not many candidates for local office are willing to run if they Positions To Be Filled At April 2, 2019 local election (all terms are four years except as noted) Governmental Unit To Be Elected Current Incumbents 1) Village of Wilmette (3 Trustees; 1 Two- 1) Senta Plunkett, Daniel Sullivan, Year Trustee) Julie Wolf; George Pearce 2) Wilmette Park (4 Commissioners) 2) Stephanie Foster, John Olvany, Ryrie Pellaton, Shelly Shelly 3) Wilmette Library District (4 Trustees) 3) Jan Barshis, Virginia George, Lisa McDonald, Kathleen O’Laughlin 4) Wilmette School District 39 4) Tracy Kearney, Frank Panzica, (3 Board Members) Alice Schaff 5) Avoca School District 37 5) Louise Dechovitz, (3 Board Members) Joel Raynes, Sheryl Swibel 6) Village of Kenilworth (3 Trustees) 6) James McClamroch, Peter Shadek, Alison Winslow 7) Kenilworth Park (2 Commissioners) 7) Heidi Higgins, Kevin Reilly 8) Kenilworth Library District (3 Trustees) 8) Jennifer Davidson, Kathleen Lyman, Deborah Zelten 9) Kenilworth School District 38 9) Danielle Boros, Donna Keller, (4 Board Members) Melinda Kelly, Scott Wallace 10) New Trier School District 203 10) Cathy Albrecht, Lori Goldstein, (3 Board Members) Patrick O’Donoghue have to hire an attorney. Bottom line? It’s really not that difficult. So give it some thought. Don’t be shy. You don’t need anyone’s permission to run (although the support of family members is important). You don’t need to be an “insider.” You simply must be ready, willing and able to serve. Thanks to all who enter the local political arena.
