STORY & PHOTOS

BY ALEX V. HERNANDEZ sTaff reporTer Winter storms and difficulty getting salt have forced municipalities and road agencies to limit its use.

In Niles, the village is looking to purchasing another 1,000 tons of salt for the remainder of winter. The Niles Public Works Department has approximately 1,200 tons of salt available on site and will be taking delivery of the full contract amount of 6,000 tons of salt from Detroit Salt Company, said a Jan. 25 release from the village.

An additional 1,000 tons of salt has been identified for emergency purchase. The village also said it might only salt primary streets due to the lack of available salt in the region combined with winter storms that show no signs of letting up.

Like so many other suburban communities, Morton Grove has begun the process of drafting rules related to medical marijuana within its borders.

The first step in that process involved the unanimous approval by the Morton Grove Plan Commission of proposed zoning and special-use permit regulations on Jan. 20.

The new medical cannabis law doesn’t allow municipalities to regulate or outright ban marijuana within its jurisdiction.

Instead, it allows municipalities to create reasonable zoning restrictions for the new cultivation and distribution centers.

However these restrictions can’t conflict with the state’s new law, said Morton Grove’s Zoning Administrator Dominick Argumedo.

Morton Grove’s proposed regulations mirror what other villages have done, such as restricting cultivation and distribution centers to the village’s southern manufacturing districts, away from homes and retail businesses.

“A dispensary is not the type of business you’re going to drive by and say,‘Oh, I could go pick up some medical marijuana,’” said >> see zONING | page 22

Developer wants to build mixed-use building in Skokie Shopping center, residential tower may be built next to Westfield Old Orchard

By Alex V. Hernandez Staff Reporter

Chicago-based Singerman Real Estate LLC wants to build a shopping center and residential tower next to Westfield Old Orchard Mall.

The plan would replace a six-story office building on Lavergne Avenue and Old

Orchard Road with a mixeduse building.The new structure would include 120,445 square feet of retail space and a ninestory residential building, according to Singerman marketing materials.

The plan still needs to be approved by Skokie officials, who would likely require a zoning change before construction can begin.

Chicago investor Seth Singerman launched the real estate company in 2010.

This proposed plan comes after the real estate company was able to raise $118 million for its first fund last September.

The two candidates met with members of the community, staff, administrators, and

parents.

Soon after the district was notified Machak had withdrawn from consideration.

This combined with the board’s visit to Heinz’s district led to her selection, said the statement.

Heinz is currently the assistant superintendent at Skokie School District 68 since 2011.

In that time, she helped develop a new math curriculum, Focus in Math, which is based on a program from Singapore that focuses on the concepts used to arrive at answers.

She’s has two master’s degrees from National Lewis

University’s College of Education.

Before she joined District 68, Heinz served as principal with Northbrook School District 27.

There, she led Shabonee School for three years, and Grove School, which has since closed, for six years.

Heinz has also been an assistant principal in Palatine, and a teacher in Vernon Hills and Glenview.

Tonight the board will meet to develop a contract proposal for Heinz.

The earliest she would begin in the new district would be July 1.

Hawks take fight out of Bulldogs, now 6-0 in CSL South

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

After playing four competitive games in three days at the Galesburg Martin Luther King tourney, Maine South’s boys basketball team got a bit of an oncourt breather at home against conference opponent Waukegan last Friday.

The Hawks led 14-3 after one quarter, 29-8 at intermission, and the Bulldogs didn’t break into double digits until three minutes into the third period. Maine South ended up winning 64-31; the Hawks remain undefeated in the CSL South (6-0) and are 15-5 overall.

“After a long weekend, it was great to have us come out as a team and beat them like that,” said senior guard Andrew Palucki, one of three Hawks in double figures with 12 points.“Our guys off the bench are great; they were relaxed. They (Waukegan) still had their starters in and they (reserves) brought it to them so I was really happy for our guys.”

Maine South started the game with a 14-0 run, capped by a free throw from junior George Sargeant (13 points). With five minutes to go in the second period, the Hawks upped their lead to 23-4 following a steal and layup by sophomore Jon Arenas, whose 15 points led the team.

John Kozak’s putback at the buzzer provided Maine South with its halftime cushion.

“I thought we played really well,” said Maine South coach Tony Lavorato. “I thought we rebounded well,and we really got the ball up the floor in transition.

Execution is still getting better little by little, but I’m really happy with where we’re at.

“Waukegan is a very athletic and well-coached team.It’s one of those (games) where I guarantee you they were off a little bit. We

always talk about that you control what you can control, and I was really proud about how our kids kept playing.”

Lavorato also is proud of the way senior Sean Maloney has stepped up in place of starting point guard Caleb deMarigny, who’s been out with mono since mid-January.

“He’s been doing it unbelievable job,” Lavorato said “Sean is one of those kids that’s played point guard his whole life. One of the things he’s done is that he’s played more minutes than he’s played all year so he had to get his wind and he had to slow himself down and stay out of foul trouble. Now he’s running it and you’re starting to see him get that swagger back.”

Maloney, who’s started the past six games in deMaringy’s absence, said the Hawks’ condensed schedule during the MLK tourney helped him settle into the role. Although the Hawks didn’t win the tourney, they went 3-1 over a 72-hour period.

“Right away there was so much going on in my head,” Maloney said. “But after the weekend when we had four games in three days, we were able to see everything that teams run against us, so now I’m calming down, I think, and I’m getting into the sets better.” deMarigny sat on the bench in street clothes last Friday. Lavorato said he may begin taking part in non-contact drills, but that’s all for now.

“Mono is a liver sickness, but it also is inflammation of the spleen,” Lavorato said. “The spleen is what the big problem is. If he gets contact on the spleen when it’s swollen and it explodes, now we’ve got major surgery. Anybody with mono has to have no contact until the spleen goes back to normal;

it’s usually a minimum of three weeks.

“But I think when he starts feeling better, which is now, he may come back. He’s going to shoot, he’s going to do some

conditioning, but not contact stuff until his spleen goes down to normal.”

Demons keep pace with Maine West

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

While continuing to adhere to a one game at a time approach—a mindset it has embraced all season—Maine East is keeping its eyes on the ultimate prizes en route to chalking up two wins last weekend.

A conference championship.

And a regional title.

The Demons kept pace with district rival Maine West for first place in the CSL North by defeating Niles North, 58-40, last Friday. On Saturday, coach Karol Hanusiak was able to get her reserve players some minutes as the Demons took a 27-6 halftime lead against non-conference opponent Leyden and won, 4731.

Forward Maria Protic, one of four seniors in the starting lineup, said the team knew what

was on the line going into its matchup with Niles North—a club the Demons had defeated earlier in the year, but one that handed Maine West its first CSL North loss on Jan. 17. Maine West, meanwhile, has saddled the Demons with their lone conference defeat.

“It was a big win for us,” said Protic, who scored nine points with nine rebounds in the Niles North victory. “We knew it was going to be an important game because if we lost, we knew we wouldn’t be up for the CSL title, but if we beat them we would be, depending on how we play against Maine West.

Maine East (14-6, 6-1) and Maine West will meet one more time this season in a game that likely will decide the title. The Demons host the Warriors on >> see DEMONS | page 14

Roundup: Notre Dame surprises Carmel, goes 3-0 for week

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

The Notre Dame basketball team has a plethora of sophomores and juniors on its roster, but if last week’s results are any indication, the Dons are beginning to put inexperience in their rear-view mirror.

The Dons (10-9, 2-2) posted three victories—67-64 over Waukegan on Jan. 23, a 51-50 overtime upset of Carmel last Friday, and a 60-50 triumph over Clark on Saturday.

Beating Carmel is particularly noteworthy because the Dons snapped the Corsairs’ sevengame winning streak. Carmel entered the ESCC contest 17-3 overall.

Lucas Simon hit two free throws in the closing seconds of overtime to ice the victory.

Ammar Becar pumped in 24 points for Notre Dame and Joe Mooney had 13.

Mooney netted 26 points in the win over Waukegan, and

senior Pat Dillon rifled in 30 against Clark.

Maine East on Jan. 23 went toe-to-toe against Niles North, playing the host Vikings to a four-point game, 34-30, with just over three minutes to go, but North scored six unanswered points and ended up winning, 43-34. Travon Jones scored nine points for the Demons (6-10), who remain winless (0-6) in the CSL North. Abby George contributed eight.

Niles West got the monkey off its back last Friday, winning its first conference game of the year and snapping an eightgame losing skid, 69-66, over Glenbrook South. The Wolves (5-9, 1-5) were led by Romeo Magloire’s game-high 21 points.

GIRLS BASKETBALL Maine South wrapped up action at the at the eight-team DeKalb Martin Luther King on MLK Day against Oswego and the host school.

Despite losing to Oswego in

a game played earlier that day, Maine South emerged as the DeKalb tourney champions by defeating DeKalb, 49-39.

The Hawks (14-9) won the tourney on a tiebreaker, which was determined by free throw percentage. They shot 77 percent from the line during the tourney, including hitting 22 of 28 in the final game. Senior Hailey Schoneman was named to the all-tourney team.

Last Friday, the Hawks (159) whipped Waukegan, 59-32, and in the process, went over the .500 mark (4-3) in the CSL South. Kelly Kons scored 12 points and Katherine Miles had 10.

Niles West held a special ceremony Saturday afternoon to honor 40 years of girls basketball at the school by naming the program’s top 25 players of all time.

Niles co-op, Notre Dame state-bound

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Niles co-op boys bowling team co-coach Vachee Loughran said he felt that few teams viewed the Vikings as a viable contender going into the Jan. 18 Chicago Taft regional.

Now most of those teams are sitting at home, while Niles is on its way to St. Clair Bowl in downstate O’Fallon this weekend for the state tournament.

The co-op squad, in its first season, secured a spot at state by placing fourth at Saturday’s Chicago St. Patrick sectional with a six-game total pin-count of 5,756. Notre Dame will be joining the Vikings at St. Clair Bowl as the Dons took fifth place (5,751).

“Going into regionals, I feel we were looked at as a novelty,” Loughran said. “When we qualified for sectionals, people started seeing that we’re a contender and now they see we’re a serious team.”

Advancing as an individual is Maine East junior Anthony Clemente, who totaled 1,230 to finish fifth among the seven individual qualifiers. Demons

senior Mike Petillo ended up with a 1,194 pin-count.

NILES CO-OP Loughran said the Vikings— with bowlers from Niles West and Niles North high schools— were in eighth place after the first game on Saturday, but sat in a good position because the top six finishing teams at each sectional automatically advance to state under the new postseason format.

“The scores were lower for everybody (at sectionals),and the oil pattern was a little different than last week,” said Loughran of the lanes at Habetler Bowl, which hosted both the regional and sectional tourneys. “The scores were reflecting that.”

The Vikings moved up to third place after Game 2 and were consistent the rest of the way. Sophomore Tyler Milbrandt is the only representative from Niles West on the co-op team, but bowling in the No. 4 slot, he turned in the second-best pin total of the day for his team (1,181).

“He was amazing at sectionals and was really consistent,” Loughran said. “He shot really well under pressure the whole

day and he was picking up spares.”

Rounding out the co-op team’s lineup was sophomore Romario Gayle (1,113), junior Scott Hirsch (1,077) and senior Humza Usman, who came in as a substitute during Game 2 and averaged 200 for the remaining games.

“That really helped us out,” Loughran said.

However, the Vikings’ best sectional performance was turned in by senior Danny Ullenbrauck, who rolled a 1,239 series.

“He shoots our anchor position (No. 5) and he’s done a tremendous job doing it,” Loughran said.

It was Ullenbrauck’s persistence that got the ball rolling to form a co-op team.The District 219 Board of Education approved the team last spring.

“He was the cheerleader from day one, and he was pounding the doors of the Board of Education and the administration,” Loughran said.

“If there was credit to be given it’s to him to get it started.”

>> DEMONS, FROM PAGE 12 Friday, Feb. 14, just a few days before regionals begin.

The Demons survived a shaky first quarter and first half versus Niles North. They trailed Niles North 14-9 by the end of the first quarter and committed 15 first-half turnovers. Nonetheless, Maine East chipped away, took the lead and poured it on in the third quarter after outscoring the Vikings, 15-2.

“It was a little sloppy at the beginning,” Protic said. “We were a little flustered, but we regrouped and coach just told us, ‘Don’t play dumb,’ and we didn’t. We picked it up.”

Elanta Slowek netted 18 points and had nine steals, and Shaylee Sloan contributed 14 points and eight rebounds, yet Hanusiak noted it was the Demons’ defensive effort that set up their offense. Maine East limited the Vikings’ Shar Rasho to 12 points.

Sports Rasho had 22 points in the two teams’ first meeting.

“The three practices leading up to this game were very focused and very intense,” Hanusiak said. “I like that, and I just liked how once we got over that first quarter blip—it was not a good first quarter—we settled in a little bit better, we were patient on offense and a bunch of people got involved.

“Our defense just clamped down. The last time, Rasho

killed us so we were really conscientious of where she was. It was just a real good team win.”

On Saturday, the Demons took advantage of Leyden not having three of its starters in the lineup.

They breezed to an 18-1 firstquarter lead, and a Slowek trey made it 21-1 early in the second period.

“I like the fact that a lot of kids who don’t get playing time got playing time so that’s always nice,” Hanusiak said. “What I didn’t like is that I thought the starting group took too much of a nonchalant attitude, and as soon as the score was 21-1, it was just like they kind of decided on their own that ‘Well, we don’t want to be mean, we’re going to pull up and we we’re gonna play soft.’

“It’s a hard area to be in situation because you don’t want to be jerks, but at the same time you’ve got to keep playing, and that was the message that

But I think that the damage (to Leyden) was done (by then).”

Sophomore Janelle Alba Garner (10 points) and senior Jazlene Gonzalez (eight) combined to score all of Maine East’s point in the first quarter. Garner finished with 14 and Alyssa Matej came off the bench to score 11.

“It’s a win, it’s good experience for the kids that haven’t played,” Hanusiak said. “I wouldn’t say it was one of the best showings from the starting five.”

The Demons hosted 14-win Regina Dominican on Tuesday and visit Glenbrook North Friday night.

I think there’s just a sense of focus and a sense of purpose and just keeping them focused on one game at a time,” Hanusiak said.

The Dons faced a little more drama at sectionals than they did the previous week at regionals where they locked up third place. Kerber said Notre Dame started out slowly, hit its stride around the fourth or fifth game—the Dons were in third place going into Game 5—but needed some big shots in the 10th frame of Game 6 to secure a state berth.

“We were missing quite a few spares, but they stayed positive,” Kerber said. “We made up quite a bit of ground in one frame.”

SeniorAlex Jensen,who totaled 1,196, fired a 257 in Game 6 and pulled his teammates aside for a pep talk during the middle of the final game.

“He really anchored us for Game 6,” Kerber said. “Without that, it would have been a much closer call getting into state.

Raiders don’t let Porters slow them down

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Bolingbrook basketball coach Rob Brost has said all season that the Raiders have an interchangeable quality within the roster.

That was on display again Friday night when the Raiders defeated Lockport 61-35 in SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue Division action in Lockport without starting point guard C.J. Redmond, who was dressed, but was out nursing a hamstring injury suffered in the MLK Day of Hoops loss to Mt. Carmel.

With Redmond out, sophomore Devon Sams was inserted into the starting lineup and junior Prentiss Nixon moved from shooting guard to point.

“I think our team is pretty interchangeable and when Devon came in for C.J., we just continued to play,” Brost said.

“We pounded the ball into the interior today, which was exactly our plan. Our kids step up when they are supposed to step up and we executed that really well tonight.”

A season ago, the Bolingbrook boys basketball had only seven losses overall, two coming at the hands of Lockport and its ability to slow the pace of the game keep the Raiders from getting out and running. Brost said the Raiders were prepared this time.

“We had a game plan coming in and to our kids’ credit, we executed it almost to a T,” he said.

“We knew they were going to come out in the 13 (1-3-1 zone defense) and we put in a couple new things for that and scored almost immediately, I think on two of the first three possessions of the game.”

Lockport (10-8, 4-2) came out in the standard 1-3-1 zone defense, but the Raiders (13-3) jumped out to a fast 7-0 lead to force the Porters out of their zone.

“We wanted to get them out of the 13 and they got right out of it,” Brost said. “To our kids’ credit,

we executed what the plan was really, really well.”

“We were trying to speed the game up,” said senior Gage Davis. “They like to pack it in to that 1-3-1 and coach had a really good game plan for that and we took them out of that in the first quarter. We didn’t want to let them slow the game up because that is a problem for us.”

After holding a 12-5 advantage after one quarter, Lockport cut the lead to within two points at 12-10 before the Raiders went on a 13-0 run to close the quarter and take a 25-10 lead into the intermission.

“We have been having spurts of 10-point runs, 12-point runs, at H-F we had a 22-point run, so we are capable of doing things like that,” Brost said. “When you play at a place like (Lockport) to get a 13-0 run is huge.”

Davis said the run led to the Raiders’ second-half play.

“That was big and that gave us a lot of confidence coming out in the second half,” he said.“They are a really good team and we knew they could come back.”

Nixon tallied scored 16 points to lead the Raiders, while Davis added 10.

“It is different when C.J. is out because he does most of the facilitating, so with him out, me and Prentiss had to attack more off the dribble,” Davis said.

Davis has been enjoying a good season after coming off the bench a year ago. He credits making his college choice early as a reason for his comfort this year. He will attend Indiana University Purdue University Fort Wayne.

“This has been a really fun season. I got two all tournaments at Decatur and McDipper.

Choosing college and signing my letter took a lot of weight of my shoulders, I can just play,” Davis said.“Last year my confidence was low and this year, I can do more off the dribble and knock down shots. I can play more freely this year.”

Another reason Davis can be more of a free shooter is the size

Gage Davis had 10 points in Bolingbrook’s win over Lockport Friday.

of the Raiders in the post.

“They do a really god job down there,” he said.“With the size, not many teams can match up with us and they also get the boards, so as a shooter, it gives me the confidence to take the shots.”

Bolingbrook outrebounded Lockport 39-21 in the game and they were paced by Josh

Dillingham, who tallied 12 rebounds to go with his eight points.

“We knew we had to if we wanted to beat them soundly,” Dillingham said.

While Dillingham is the smallest of the Raider big men, Brost said he is critical to the team’s success.

“Josh Dillingham may be one of the most underrated players in the state,” Brost said. “He is our glue guy, he does what we ask him to do. Some of the guys on the team get more pub, but Josh is really the glue to our team, defensively and on the glass.” mark@buglenewspapers.com

Westbound traffic on Dempster Street will be reduced to one lane due to construction.

Yesterday the Skokie Public Works Department was notified of a private water main break on Niles Center Road south of

Lincoln Avenue that forced the closure.

The west-bound curb lane on Dempster Street west of Crawford Avenue will be closed during repairs. However, there

Melinda Dear Melinda, The first thing you need to do is contact an attorney who handles estate planning. If the accounts were opened in Florida, but you both lived in Oregon at the time of his death, technically the estate would be probated in Oregon.

That may be what has to happen. If so, a judge would appoint you as executor. As executor, you can close the accounts and disperse any money to the rightful heir— which is you.

Be prepared, though. It may take somewhere between $250 and $500 in attorney fees and court costs to make this happen.

But find a good estate planning attorney who knows Oregon law inside and out. Estate laws and probate laws differ from state to state, and Florida and Oregon both have some weird laws in these areas.

This probably seems like a lot of trouble, but you have to remember the banks are simply trying to protect themselves and follow the law.

Anyone could walk in with a death certificate (they’re public record), and claim to be an heir. So, they have to have a court document in order to avoid any potential liability.

I’m sorry for your loss, Melinda. I know it still hurts after all this time, but you need to address this as soon as possible. I’m sure it’s what your husband would have wanted.

Great gifts for current and future college students Here are a few ideas to brighten the bookshelves and desks of your favorite scholars Whether the students in your life are in high school and dreaming about their future majors, or in the middle of their college careers, you can shower them with gifts that quench their thirst for knowledge and foster their academic interests.

Stumped? Here are a few ideas to brighten the bookshelves and desks of your favorite scholars: MAkE CRAMMING EASIER For dorm dwellers, book lights are crucial. When roomies are snoozing, night owls can use a book light that attaches to the pages of the book, or a task light that sits atop the desk, to keep studying in an unobtrusive manner.

Consider creating a care package full of snacks. But skip the junk food and instead fill up on brain food. Nuts, almond butter and popcorn are all great choices containing brain-boosting vitamins and minerals.

SIMPLIFY COMPLEX CONCEPTS A standard text book covering weighty subject matter sometimes can make things even more confusing for a student. Help demystify some of the hard-to-grasp subjects with a new book series from DK Publishing, ‚Big Ideas, Simply Explained. The fully-illustrated series uses innovative graphics and creative typography to cut through the haze of misunderstanding, untangles knotty theories and sheds light on abstract concepts. bROADEN HORIzONS No matter what your scholar plans to study or is currently studying, you can round out his or her education with a great dose of classic cinema.

Consider a set that features the collected works of a gifted director such as Ingmar Bergman or Akira Kurosawa. Or opt for a topical box set on a favorite subject, such as World War II or nature.

With the right tools, you can enrich and round out classroom learning in fun and interesting ways.

>>BOOKS FOR SIMPLIFYING COMPLEX CONCEPTS THE ECONOMICS BOOK <<< LIST PRICE: $25.00 From Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas, to Adam Smith and John Maynard Keynes, to the top economic thought leaders of today, The Economics Book is the essential reference for students and anyone else with an interest in how economies work. >>> THE PHILOSOPHY BOOK LIST PRICE: $25.00 To the complete novice, learning about philosophy can be a cause for dread.
