Nancy Wolff, co-owner of the Bootery in Highland Park and who
herself has epilepsy, brought this wonderful, yet under-publicized service to
our attention. And it’s right here in in Highland Park. ESNI has been working
for 30 years to help those affected by epilepsy. Its staff and committed Board
of Directors provides programs including counseling and psychotherapy,
community in-services, education presentations, and information and referral.
Their office � is tucked away in Highland Park near the train station and
delivers programs to all who seek services, regardless of income.
“ESNI can often clear up any questions not already answered by the
attending physician,” explains Maureen. “We offer counseling,
psychotherapy and other coping skills to deal with possible depression and
other difficulties involved with this curious neurological disorder.”
Nancy adds that she is grateful for discovering ESNI. “My experience
with ESNI became a most valuable connection, as ESNI referred me to
doctors who were able to do more for me than any professionals I had
seen previously.” 1698 First Street, HP, 847-433-8960,

When we left the long-time multi-sport Highland Park Coach Schramm
(Spring 2006), he was beginning a whole new chapter devoted to the pure
fun of playing basketball. Coach had always pictured a “Basketball
Heaven,” with clinics and competitive leagues, from the tiniest 2- and 3year-olds,
who are just able to walk, through junior high kids.
Well, business is booming over at Schramm’s Gym, now a key part of
the Warehouse Gym and Boxing Club. In the Gym, “having fun with
basketball” rules the operation, including conditioning and private lessons.
Many of the boys and girls now competing in various leagues were, years
ago, members of Schramm’s “Little Dribblers,” learning the game from a
guy who always made sports so much fun.
But, hey, Coach, we know you’re great with the kids. How about
holding a grandpa’s and grandma’s 3-point shoot contest? We’ve earned it, if
only for sitting in the stands for so many games over the years! 1582 Old
