For New Trier senior Ben Lewis, the annual breakfast is one that makes him feel very proud to be a part of Troop 5. “The best part of this whole day is seeing the smiles on the faces of the people we serve,” he said. “So many people have come up to thank us and tell us how much this breakfast means to them. Because this breakfast has been part of the community for such a long time, many have built family memories here. I love being part of the day and knowing we can have such a positive impact on someone else’s day.” Police Reports Driver busted for suspended license, possession of brass knuckles during traffic stop Pawel Kowalewski, 33, of Des Plaines, was arrested after being pulled over for traffic violations at 12:25 p.m. Nov. 5 at the intersection of Lawler Avenue and Old Orchard Road in Wilmette.
