THE WILMETTE BEACON Instagram post alludes to violence at Highcrest, contains racial hate speech Officials at Wilmette Public Schools District 39 are working with the Wilmette Police Department following an alleged anonymous Instagram post from Wednesday, Oct. 9, “alluding to violence and racial hate speech” at Highcrest Middle School. Police determined that there was no credible threat to student or staff safety. “We worked diligently throughout the day as the student had created a fake social media account in attempts to hide their identity,” said Wilmette Police Chief Kyle Murphy. “There was no need for a search of the school because we were able to determine this was a prank.” According to an email sent out to parents Oct. 9, co-signed by Highcrest Principal Kelly Jackson and Wilmette 39 Superintendent Dr. Kari Cremascoli, district officials received the report at Wilmette Junior High School and “immediately” contacted the Wilmette Police Department. Officials were alerted to the social media post by students according to police. “[We] worked collaboratively to investigate the report and origins of the post,” the email from the district states. “We are happy to report that the police were able to positively identify the author of the post and to follow up directly with that individual.” School officials will be following up with the individual to implement disciplinary procedures. “The event provides an opportunity for us to remind all students and families that threatening or hateful language are taken seriously and will not be tolerated in our community,” the email states.

THE LAKE FOREST LEADER Principal’s absence leaves DPM staff, parents with more questions than answers More than 60 Deer Path Middle School staff members and parents attended a special Lake Forest School District 67 board meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 8, in search of information regarding Principal Tom Cardamone, whose absence from the school starting more than two weeks ago has left many unanswered questions. Eight teachers and three parents spoke during the public comment section of the meeting to voice their support of Cardamone. According to the teachers who spoke, Cardamone was escorted off school grounds around 3:45 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27, in front of teachers, students and parents and then placed on administrative leave. In a followup call with The Leader, Superintendent Michael Simeck did not want to use the term “escorting,” but confirmed Cardamone walked in and out of the school with a security guard to grab a document on Friday, Sept. 27. “Tom entered the building and exited with somebody that’s our security guy, and he’s got a big badge on his shirt,” Simeck said. “He looks like a cop because of that badge. He’s not a cop.” He said Cardamone and the security officer walked into the building to get a document and then walked out. “They came in separate cars and they left in separate cars,” Simeck said. “And that doesn’t mean it didn’t appear (that he was escorted) to people because I’ve spoken with people and they said it certainly appeared that way. That’s just really, really unfortunate and it’s not the way that it was intended.” Simeck declined to say why Cardamone was placed on leave, claiming it’s a personnel issue, and said that staff will not be notified as to why Cardamone is gone, saying “that’s a private matter.” But he did say that the police are not involved.

Full story at LakeForestLeader- Daily.com THE NORTHBROOK TOWER Northbrook’s The Claim Company to move to new location on Skokie Boulevard After a history in Northbrook Court that spans four decades, The Claim Company is heading to a new home. The locally owned restaurant announced last month it will be moving to a new location at 776 Skokie Blvd. in Northbrook. Its new home will be next to the Mariano’s store at the intersection of Skokie Boulevard and Dundee Road. Upcoming redevelopment plans at the mall set the move in motion, according to owner Arnie Krause. Krause, a longtime resident of Northbrook, said the mall informed ownership the real estate it was interested in redeveloping included The Claim Company. The Claim Company was not going to be able to stay in its current home at Northbrook Court and mall officials told the restaurant it didn’t have a precise timeline for its reopening, Krause said. “It wasn’t a financial option for us to build from scratch and wait out the redevelopment of the mall,” Krause said. The Claim Company originally opened in Northbrook Court in 1979 and remained opened until 1998. In 2009, a space in the mall became available, which allowed Krause and his team to resurrect the eatery inside the shopping center. Now a decade later, the move is a homecoming of sorts for Krause, who created Forty One North, a restaurant that operated for nine years on Skokie Boulevard. Krause said he hopes the local favorite will reopen at its new location in mid-to-late October. He expects much of the restaurant’s staff to make the move as well.
