THE WINNETKA CURRENT
Man rescued from capsized
boat at Winnetka’s Lloyd
Beach
A boater called Winnetka
authorities to report
he was in distress around
2 p.m. Oct. 9 after his boat
capsized at Lloyd Beach in
Winnetka.
The Winnetka Fire Department
rescue crews
spotted the boater, who
reportedly sat on top of his
boat, about three-quarters
of a mile out from the
Lloyd Beach boat launch,
799 Sheridan Road, according
Winnetka Fire
Chief Alan Berkowsky.
Rescue efforts included
local police and fire departments,
and the coast
guard out of Wilmette,
which was called at 2:06
p.m. Ten minutes later,
rescue teams made contact
with one boat occupant,
who resides in Winnetka.
“Anytime we get a call
with someone in trouble
in Lake Michigan, we
have a pretty substantial
response,” Berkowsky
said. “We try to first rescue
the person off the surface
first.”
Crews attempted to upright
the boat, which was
an 18-foot catamaran, after
the man was brought to
safety, Berkowsky said.
“Unfortunately, [the
boat] was caught in the
sand and it was caught in
the water, so we had to
leave the boat as is,” he
said, adding the strong
southwest winds were “deceiving”
from the shoreline.
The boat, which eventually
sank, will be salvaged
by a company that works
on Lake Michigan in the
coming days.
The boater didn’t suffer
any injuries from the incident.

canceled; multi-day event
proposed for 2020
The Glencoe Grand Prix
has hit its brakes, as the
well-attended criterium
race will not continue in
future years.
David Metrick, president
of the Glencoe Grand
Prix, told The Glencoe
Anchor that after 12 years
of the event, “it’s just the
right time to retire.”
“There have been a lot
of positives, and it feels
like it ran its course,” Metrick
said Oct. 10.
The race cancellation
was announced on its website,
saying in part: “After
much discussion among
the leadership over the
past few months, with a
heavy heart, we announce
the Glencoe Grand Prix
will not be held in 2019.
... A heartfelt thanks to our
sponsors who supported
us over these many years.
