NORSHORE Meats & Deli 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. To see the most current test results, visit www.nsmad.com. lb. Reg. $5.98 lb. lb. One of them is nationally 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.” Reporting by Alan P.

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.

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. Reporting by Chris Pullam, Freelance Reporter. Full story at NorthbrookTower.com.
