THE NORTHBROOK TOWER Doors near school entrances to receive electronic locks An added sense of security will soon be coming to District 28 schools. District officials announced last month that doors near the front entrances of its schools will receive electronic locks this summer. Meadowbrook is slated to receive its security improvements during renovations scheduled to take place during summer break. Electronic locks will be added to the main office doors, limiting access to the school’s main hall only to those who have checked in and are buzzed in by the main office, according to District 28 officials. District parent Collen Milks, whose husband has served as the Village of Glencoe’s police chief, addressed the District 28 Board of Education about security concerns during the public comment portion of the last two meetings. Milks expressed concerns about doors leading to the main hallways of both NBJH and Meadowbrook not having secure locks. She mentioned an occasion earlier this summer where she was buzzed in with little attentiveness from the person manning the front desk. In response to Milks’ comments made at the May board meeting, District 28 Superintendent Dr. Larry A. Hewitt told The Tower the electronic locks will require the school administrative assistant to buzz visitors in. Reporting by Martin Carlino, Contributing Editor. Full story at Northbrook- Tower.com. THE GLENVIEW LANTERN Glenview police searching for missing 20-year-old man The Glenview Police Department is asking for help finding a 20-yearold Glenview man who “may be suffering from depression,” according to a release from the department. Nicholas Zwolinski was reported missing on July 1 by his parents after telling his mother he was going for a walk that afternoon. He has not returned home and left his wallet and cell phone, the release states. Zwolinski was last seen at 3 p.m. July 1 leaving his home in the 700 block of Beaver Road in the Village, according to police. He was wearing a gray T-shirt and black shorts. Zwolinski is 5 feet, 10 inches tall and has brown hair and a short beard, the release states. Sgt. Jim Foley said Glenview police officers and detectives have been searching through local woods with the aid of drones, knocking on neighbors’ doors and checking at hospitals and with friends in an effort to find Zwolinski, but “we haven’t found anything.” Zwolinski is known to frequent local parks and the Blue Star Woods, according to police. The department is also following up on every tip it receives about Zwolinski, Foley said July 3. “We’re really exhausting every resource we have available right now,” Foley said.

THE HIGHLAND PARK LANDMARK Mosquitoes test positive for West Nile virus in Highland Park A batch of mosquitoes sampled on June 13 in Highland Park has tested positive for West Nile virus. The batch, also known as a mosquito pool, is the first confirmed indicator of West Nile presence in Lake County in 2019. “In 2018, there were eight human cases of West Nile virus, including one death confirmed in Lake County,” said Mark Pfister, executive director for the Lake County Health Department and Community Health Center. “Residents need to take action, practicing the 4 Ds of Defense to protect themselves from mosquito bites.” “Culex pipiens mosquitoes, which are the primary carriers of West Nile virus, are most abundant in mid- to late summer, when the weather is hot,” said Michael Adam, senior biologist for the Health Department. “Residents can help prevent these mosquitoes from breeding by eliminating areas of stagnant water from their properties — items like buckets, gutters and plant containers, kiddie pools, and any other items holding water around homes and businesses — can become breeding sites.” The Lake County Health Department’s Mosquito Surveillance Program coordinates mosquito-trapping results throughout Lake County. Mosquitoes are tested weekly for West Nile virus. Submitted by the Lake County Health Department. Full story at HPLandmark.com. Please see nfyn, 15
glencoeanchor.com sound off the glencoe anchor | July 11, 2019 | 13 City Girl Confessions Everything is under construction Kelly Anderson Contributing Columnist I must get better at waiting. My personality has never been amenable to the art of patience. Even as an adult, I’m constantly working on it. And there is no greater test of patience than summer road construction in the Midwest. Given that the winter cold lingers for far too many months, community improvements are all crammed into June, July and August. Orange cones are everywhere. Roads are blocked off. Commute times are doubled. Lately, I’ve found myself stranded at intersections, creeping along in gridlock traffic, and rerouted on detours because of closures, expansions and the like. Annoyingly enough, this is fitting. For I, too, am under construction, as I continue to rebuild parts of my heart and mind after the death of my dog. I am helping my kids renovate the emotions they carry when they come across a dog leash and remember that there is no dog to walk. I am rebuilding all of the broken parts that arrive in the aftermath of sudden tragedy. Sometimes I feel like a construction worker, wearing a hard hat and orange vest, waving flags that indicate, “Proceed with caution.” There are some frustrating parallels. Just trying merging onto the highway by Waukegan Road, only to see that, due to construction, it’s been restricted to one lane of traffic. A highway, notorious for highspeed travel, has now been forced to change, reroute, and slow down. It’s doing what is necessary to get through a difficult time. I feel like that highway. I am used to a go-go-GO life yet I have been forced to change, reroute and slowdown.

But this isn’t just about me: it’s about my kids, my husband and our family. It’s about facing a sad time and owning every bit of discomfort. It’s about getting up each day and figuring out how to keep moving forward. Even when it’s slow. Even when it’s uncomfortable. Last week, my family took a walk into downtown Glencoe. There were sidewalk sales, a French Market and a myriad of people bustling around. The sky was sunlit and gorgeous, the energy was pleasant.
