THE WILMETTE BEACON
Wilmette’s Herguth carved
own niche during storied
journalism career
A golden era of Chicago
newspaper journalism
can arguably be said
to have occurred from the
mid-1950s into the 1980s,
when the internet began to
undermine the printed daily
newspaper business model.
Armed with a combination
of grand wordsmiths,
street-smart columnists,
relentless investigators,
old pros who could rewrite
Bible chapters in an hour if
asked, the occasional scallywag,
and lots of shoe
leather, the Chicago Sun-
Times, Chicago Tribune,
Chicago Today and Chicago
Daily News slugged it
out day by day, deadline by
deadline, to beat the competition,
and in the process
grab readers’ attention.
In the midst of that colorful
journalistic maelstrom
stood Bob Herguth, who
during his tenure at the
Chicago Daily News from
1955 to 1978 and the Chicago
Sun-Times from 1979
to 1999 carved out a kinder,
gentler, eternally optimistic
style and niche uniquely his
own.
A few, but not many of
the longtime Wilmette resident’s
old colleagues and
friends at the Daily News
and Sun-Times still click
the keyboard for a living.

First West Nile-positive mosquitoes
found this year in Glencoe
Submitted by North Shore
Mosquito Abatement
District
The North Shore Mosquito
Abatement District
has found the first mosquitoes
to test positive for
West Nile virus in the district
this year.
Five batches of mosquitoes,
collected between
May 20-22, tested positive
for West Nile virus
in the lab on May 23. The
mosquitoes were collected
from NSMAD traps in
Evanston, Glencoe, Glenview,
Northbrook and
Winnetka.
While the risk of being
infected with West Nile
virus is low at this time of
year, the NSMAD recommends
that residents take
personal protection measures
to minimize mosquito
bites including: using
insect repellent, wearing
loose fitting clothing and
avoiding peak mosquito
feeding times during the
hours around dawn and
dusk. Residents are urged
to examine their property
and eliminate any items
that can hold water, particularly
smaller items that
may be easily overlooked.
Remember, if it can hold
water, it can breed mosquitoes.

test results, visit www.nsmad.com.

respected Sun-Times
obituary writer Maureen
O’Donnell, who upon Herguth’s
death on May 22,
2019 at age 93 summarized
his professional life this
way.
“Chicago journalism is
famous for bulldog reporters
who rake muck for
the public good. Robert
J. Herguth had a different
approach. His gentle demeanor
and lighthearted,
pun-filled way of viewing
the world made interview
subjects open up to him.”

THE LAKE FOREST LEADER
Fire department rescues
woman from roof of
burning home in Lake
Forest
A female homeowner
was found on the roof of
her burning home in Lake
Forest in the early morning
hours on Friday, May 31,
according to a press release
from the Lake Forest Fire
Department.
A structure fire was reported
at 4:22 a.m. in the
southeast part of the city.
When Lake Forest Police
arrived on scene, they
found the sole occupant of
the home on the roof in the
rear of the house. Soon after
fire department arrival,
personnel reported moderate
smoke coming from the
same location the female
was standing, the release
says.
A crew member from
the first arriving engine
grabbed a ladder and was
able to rescue the female,
without injuries. She was
evaluated by paramedics
for smoke inhalation and
signed a medical release,
the release says.
Additional firefighters
entered the home to ensure
there were no other occupants.
Firefighters pulled a hose
line and began an aggressive
interior attack and had
water on the fire within
minutes of arrival to the
scene.
The fire was out by 4:40
a.m., but the fire department
performed overhaul
to ensure complete extinguishment,
the release says.
There were no injuries to
emergency personnel.
There was significant
smoke and fire damage to
the home. The cause of the
fire is under investigation,
according to the release.

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER
Northbrook Court
redevelopment up for final
vote June 11
The Northbrook Court
redevelopment project is
now one vote away from
approval.
During its May 28 meeting,
the Northbrook Village
Board voted 6-1 to have
village staff draw up final
approval documents, which
will be considered during
the board’s June 11 meeting.
Only Trustee Jason
Han, who so far has voted
against every action supporting
the redevelopment,
opposed the motion.
The proposed mixed-use
redevelopment plan for the
west end of the Northbrook
Court Shopping Center,
located at 1315-1825
Lake Cook Road, would
include up to 315 luxury
apartments in a five-story
residential structure, which
would sit atop two levels
of indoor parking containing
432 parking stalls for
the residential building. It
would also house a grocery
store and several restaurants
and retail spaces.
The applicant, Northbrook
Anchor Acquisition,
also proposed approximately
106,000 square feet
of new retail development,
as well as redevelopment
of approximately 72,000
square feet of the west end
of the existing shopping
center, where Macy’s currently
connects to the mall.
The project includes
a reconfiguration of the
road that loops around the
Northbrook Court, with the
inclusion of a dedicated
bike lane in a portion of
the roadway area adjacent
to the residential portion of
the redevelopment.
Northbrook residents
spent nearly two hours addressing
the board about
the proposal.

abruptly announcing
its closure, Highwood’s
Lucky Fish reopened late
last month in its same location
on Sheridan Road.
The reopened Lucky
Fish, which is part of the
Geffen family’s Once
Upon restaurants, now
features a revamped menu
and concept, according to
a press release sent to The
Landmark.
The restaurants ownership
team, which features
Steve Geffen, shifted
Lucky Fish’s traditional sitdown
dinner experience to
a new concept that is based
on the style of a “coastal
shrimp shack,” per the release.
It now features a
menu that the ownership
team describes as “dominated
by shrimp, seafood
and chicken, with a focus
