Casey
The Strelzin family, of Northbrook
Casey is a 5-year-old Black and
Tan Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
We have raised Casey since
he was 8 weeks old.
He loves his family but can be a
little hesitant at first of humans
he comes in contact with.
He was the only male in an all-female litter and his
breeder indicated he was the shyest of the bunch.
Casey is the ultimate lapdog and loves nothing
more than hanging out and cuddling with his owners.
He is very smart and obedient and is so much
fun to be around!

Three candidates file for Northbrook Village Board
Caucus-endorsed
Ross, Hebl, and
incumbent Israel to
run uncontested
Martin Carlino, Editor
Hebl Ross Israel
The Northbrook Village
Board of Trustees is
poised to have a new look
in the spring of 2019, as
Johannah Hebl and Heather
E. Ross, two Northbrook
Caucus-endorsed
first-time candidates, officially
filed their paperwork
to run in the April 2,
2019 election.
Incumbent trustee Robert
Israel joins Hebl and
Ross as candidates who
filed for three open seats.
The seats of James Karagianis,
A.C. Buehler III
and Israel are up for election
in April.
The Northbrook Caucus
voted to slate three firsttime
candidates — Ross,
Hebl and Ihab Riad —
for the three open seats
in October. But the three
incumbent trustees challenged
the caucus recommendations
at its Nov. 4
town hall meeting.
The more than 420 residents
who attended the
town hall overturned the
endorsement of Riad in
favor of Israel.
As previously reported
by The Tower, Israel received
275 votes to overturn
the recommendation
and Hebl and Ross received
266 and 242 votes,
respectively. Karagianis
finished with 198 votes
and Buehler finished 138,
placing them fifth and
sixth and not earning the
recommendation.
Hebl, a resident of
Northbrook since 2004,
is an estate planning attorney
with Matlin Law
Group of Northbrook.
Hebl has served two terms
on Northbrook’s Stormwater
Management Commission.
At the town hall meeting,
Hebl said she was excited
at the level of participation
she saw, and hopes
that it will continue.
After her years on the
Village’s Stormwater
Management Commission,
Hebl was appointed
to the Village’s Plan Commission
in 2017.
“In my current capacity,
I strive to balance the interests
of developers and
residents to make sure
Don’t just
list your
real estate
property...
that any zoning variance
is best for our community
as a whole,” Hebl says
in her candidate profile
listed on the Northbrook
Caucus website.
In an interview with
The Tower, Hebl said she
believes she has the needed
experience for the position
because of her prior
service on two boards
within the Village government.
Ross, a 14-year resident
of Northbrook, is the
co-founder/partner of a
reproductive technology
law firm formed in 2005
in Northbrook, according
to the website.
Ross said now that her
law firm is more established
and her daughters
are older, she has the time
needed to serve on the
board.
“This just seems like a
really good time in my life
to become more involved
directly with the village,”
Ross told The Tower.
Ross has practiced law
since 1993, but said although
she is an attorney
by trade, she considers
herself an advocate. At
the town hall meeting, she
shared similar sentiments
as Hebl regarding the
community turnout.
The incumbent Israel,
currently serving his
eighth year on the board,
began his work in the Village
nearly 20 years back.
Israel, a civil engineer,
is a 22-year resident of
Northbrook. He’s also
previously served on the
Stormwater Management
Commission. Israel is
currently the chair of the
Ad-Hoc Facilities and the
Public Works Committee.
“My life has taught me
to listen; to think through
issues, repercussions and
unintended consequences;
and most importantly to
build bridges, both literally
and figuratively,” he
says in his candidate profile.
