Area kids skate for a good cause

On April 7, students
and hockey players
from numerous
local schools and hockey
programs took part in
the 100 Miles for Danny
event, an event featuring
20 teams who skated five
miles per leg or a total of
55 laps of the rink.
I've written in the past
about the effect the Danny
Did Foundation has had
on my life and to see the
amount of people that
continually come out to
support the organization is
truly heartwarming. A lot
of what we hear about in
today's world is the bad,
but to not only hear about,
but witness the good, is
definitely something that
helps gives you faith in
the future.
Hockey players from
Loyola Academy girls
team, the Wilmette Braves
and Tribe, and Sacred
Heart School were all part
of the group that took part
in the event, which was
held at Lake Forest Academy.
Each participating
team raised at least $1,000
for the event.
Witnessing all the kids
having fun, being able to
skate again on the ice for
a good cause and even
getting the chance to meet
Tommy Hawk, the Chicago
Blackhawks mascot,
was a sight to see.
I was able to attend the
event and help volunteer
with the group. Another
great thing to see was
the curiosity of the kids
participating. The number
of skaters who would
ask their parents what
the event was for, what
epilepsy was or just had a
plain curiosity of the day,
you could see made their
parents feel good because
they were able to explain
to their children and help
educate them about what
made that day so special.
To the Danny Did
Foundation, congratulations
again on throwing
another fun, successful
event. To the local skaters
who took part in the event,
thank you for coming out
to support such a good
cause. It's nice to see such
a young group learning at
such a young age. Here's
to hoping that thirst for
knowledge and curiosity
continues as you get older.

THE HIGHLAND PARK LANDMARK
City Council approves Red
Oak and Windy Hill Lane
subdivision
A new four-lot subdivision
will be coming to the
northwest corner of Red
Oak and Windy Hill Lane
as City Council gave it
the go-ahead at its Monday,
April 8, meeting with
some development skepticism
by council members
and contention from the
area’s residents.
One concern shared by
council members was the
preservation of a heritage
tree, which is in the
middle of the subdivision.
A consideration to amend
the resolution to reduce
the subdivision to three
lots was shot down and
the resolution received
a unanimous 7-0 vote.
Council members echoed
each other, stating that all
procedures and protocols
have been met, therefore it
should be approved.
David Meek, the applicant’s
attorney, asked that
City Council adhere to
their procedures that the
applicant has followed. He
added that while there are
no final plans for the subdivision,
there are multiple
configurations to avoid removing
the heritage tree.
“As much as we’re
sending a clear message
… I think what we’re being
asked here is something
that the applicant is
allowed to do by right,”
Councilman Adam Stolberg
said.
