UPDATE: Police increase patrols in Harms Woods
after man made lewd requests to children
Jason Addy
Contributing Editor
From July 16
The Forest Preserves
Police Department is
increasing the number
of officers it has patrolling
Harms Woods near
the northwest portion of
Wilmette after a man allegedly
offered to pay
children on a bike trail in
the woods “to change his
diaper.”
The department will
have additional officers
patrolling the woods and
bike trails by foot, car
and ATV. Forest Preserve
police will also increase
patrols in Miami Woods
and St. Paul Woods in
Morton Grove, where
the man allegedly made
similar requests to children
three days later, said
Stacina Stagner, communications
manager for the
Forest Preserves of Cook
County.
A child on a bike trail
in Harms Woods was approached
July 8 by a man
riding a bike, who offered
the child money to help
him change his diaper,
according to Sophia Ansari,
press secretary for
the Cook County Sheriff’s
Office.
The incident in Harms
Woods was reported to the
Forest Preserve Police at
about 6:25 p.m. that night.
A similar incident was
reported July 11 in Morton
Grove.
Between 3 p.m. and 6
p.m. that day, a man approached
several children
on a bike trail between
Oakton and Dempster
street in Morton Grove,
“pulled down his pants
and offered the children
money to change his diaper,”
according to police.
The children ran from the
area, the release states.
Authorities described
the suspect as a 5-foot-10-
inch-tall man in his 20s
weighing between 170
and 200 pounds. He has
brown hair and his face
was unshaven at the time
of the July 11 incident, the
release states. He was last
seen wearing a black T-
shirt, black jogging pants
and black shoes.

sentatives from “all parts”
of the village, will be in
place by the end of September,
Potter said.
However, like the June
meeting, residents expressed
staunch opposition
to the proposal. Prior to
the comment period, many
members of the audience
stood and held up signs,
provided by the anti-TIF
Our Kenilworth Committee,
reading “NO TIF for
OUR KENILWORTH.”
“The whole object of
this has been kind of a
hidden secret, which is
not the way this town has
operated,” resident John
Phillips said. “That business
district’s been like
that for 110 years, it can be
that way for another eight
months and we can have
a referendum on this. I’m
telling you, the town does
not want it.”
Several residents expressed
concern about the
lack of distinct plans for
development prior to the
establishment of the TIF
district.
Resident Tom Wiegand
also questioned the timing
of the proposal.
“It doesn’t seem to me
that there is a driving need
for cash immediately that
makes you want to pass
this,” he said. “I think that
raises some suspicions in
my mind and others. Why
all of a sudden do we need
to get this passed tonight?
What money are you looking
to spend?”
Similarly, resident Paul
Yovovich indicated he felt
the sequencing of the process
was off.
“What I’ve heard about
an ad hoc committee,
‘we’ll figure it out as we
go along,’ it sounds like
it’s ‘ready, fire, aim,’” he
said. “I think we need to
have a lot more thought go
into this.”
