WELCOME to the 2017-18 Guide Dear Glencoe Residents and Friends, On behalf of the Glencoe Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, I want to welcome you to our NEW Community Guide. You’ll note that it has a NEW look, with NEW features.

However, it also has all the information you have come to expect in the Chamber’s Annual Community Guide — contact information for our Chamber member businesses, the schools, Library and Park Districts, civic and volunteer organizations, our Village Administration officials and Trustees and elected governmental officials. Additionally, you’ll learn about upcoming events in the Village, the history of Glencoe, information about Public Works and Public Safety, parking and much, much more. In other words, the Guide is a “one-stop” resource for what you need to know about Glencoe. Please keep it on hand throughout the year and refer to it often.

Among the local events covered in the Guide are several the Chamber is sponsoring for the enjoyment of our residents and neighbors. You will be delighted to know that the Glencoe French Market is returning to Wyman Green this summer, starting on Saturday, June 10, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Market was such a success last summer that we are extending it to every Saturday through Oct. 14. Be sure to visit the Market frequently to find the freshest flowers, vegetables, fruit, baked goods, and more foods and artisan-created items. This summer will also feature the Annual Sidewalk Sale on Friday, June 23, and Saturday, June 24. Merchants with quality goods at great prices will be lining Park and Vernon avenues. Next, we’ll host the Glencoe Festival of Art, again on Park and Vernon on Saturday, July 29, and Sunday, July 30. Over 100 artists will be displaying their works. Turning to the fall season, that fun-filled, treat-filled event — Halloween Hello — will be on Tuesday, Oct. 31, in the downtown business district. As always, Glencoe will kick off the holiday season at Light the Village Lights on Friday, Nov. 24, at sundown at the big tree. The holiday fun will continue into December, as well.

The Chamber Directors and I hope you will attend these events and others you’ll read about in the Guide. We also want to encourage you to patronize our stores and businesses; they offer our community the best in merchandise, professional and personal services, knowledgeable, personalized help, and convenience! In addition, please remember that a portion of your sales taxes return to the Village. Our business community adds immensely to the quality of life our residents enjoy in this very special Village.

Sincerely, Sally Sprowl Executive Director Glencoe Chamber of Commerce

VILLAGE HALL 675 Village Court 847-835-4111 villageofglencoe.org info@villageofglencoe.org Village Hall Hours: Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

VILLAGE MANAGER Philip A. Kiraly pkiraly@villageofglencoe.org The approximately 9,000 residents of Glencoe enjoy premium services from the Village including Public Safety, water, sewer and garbage collection, among others. Village staff members are committed to exceptional service level delivery, being responsive to the community and maintaining a fiscally and environmentally conservative footprint.

We know that Glencoe is a great place to live, work and raise a family — and others are starting to take notice too. Here are some recent state- and nation-wide rankings that highlights aspects of our community that we have grown to love and appreciate.

• 2016 Places with Best Public Schools in Illinois – Ranked #1 (Alongside Kenilworth, Wilmette and Winnetka)

by Niche.com • 2016 Best Places to Raise a Family in Illinois – Ranked #2 by Niche.com • 2017 Safest Small Towns in United States – Ranked #4 in Illinois, and in top 75 nationally by Lendedu.com

all police, fire and emergency medical services. The Public Safety Department has been recognized as a nationallyaccredited Law Enforcement Agency since 1994 and in 2004 the department also became an internationally-accredited Fire Agency, making it the only fully-integrated Public Safety agency in the world, accredited in both law enforcement and fire services.

VILLAGE LEADERSHIP

The Village President and the six members of the Board of Trustees are the legislative officials of the Village — ­ each elected at large and serving four-year terms.

The Village Board guides the Village’s operations through policy decisions, enacted through local laws and ordinances, as well as through approving the Village’s annual budget. Additionally, the Village Board appoints the Village Manager, who oversees day-to-day operations, and the Village President appoints members of volunteer committees and commissions with the advice and consent of the Board of Trustees.

The Village takes pride in engaging approximately 70 volunteers on our various committees and commissions in any given year.

Regular meetings of the Village Board are typically held on the third Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. in the Village Hall Council Chambers and all meetings are open to the public.

VILLAGE PRESIDENT Lawrence R. Levin larrylevin@villageofglencoe.org TRUSTEES Trent Cornell trentcornell@villageofglencoe.org

NEARLY 150 YEARS OF INNOVATION IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT As the Village of Glencoe approaches our Sesquicentennial (150th birthday) in 2019, we take pride in our history of innovation in the field of local government. Incorporated in 1869, the Village quickly became the first community in Illinois, and the 14th nationwide, to adopt the council-manager form of government in 1914. Then, in 1921, the Village became one of the first communities in Illinois to adopt a zoning code and is still considered a model community in terms of land use and zoning control.

The Village was also the first community in Illinois to cross-train officers in both police and fire fighting duties. The fully integrated Public Safety Department now performs 8 G L E N C O E AT I T S B E S T

VILLAGE DEPARTMENTS FINANCE DEPARTMENT 847-835-4113 finance@villageofglencoe.org The Finance Department manages utility billing, vehicle and pet licensing, alarm permit registration, accounts receivable and payable, financial reporting, annual budgets, and administering Village employee benefits and pensions.

PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT Emergency: 911 Non-Emergency: 847-835-4112 publicsafety@villageofglencoe.org The Public Safety Department was established in 1954 when the Village combined the Police and Fire Departments into one single, cross-trained department. Today, our officers are cross-trained as certified police officers, firefighters and medical first responders. This level of efficiency allows the Village to provide a high level of emergency services to the community at a reduced cost when compared to municipalities utilizing traditional, separate police, fire and emergency medical components.

Learn more about these services at www.villageofglencoe.org or by calling 847-835-4112.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT 847-845-4111 publicworks@villageofglencoe.org The Public Works Department promotes a safe and healthy environment in Glencoe by managing the maintenance of the Village’s infrastructure (roads, bridges, water mains, sanitary and storm sewers, etc.), administering building, zoning and engineering services, operating the Village’s Water Treatment Plant, providing garbage and yard waste collection services, and overseeing recycling collection services, currently provided

by Lakeshore Recycling Systems.

VILLAGE MANAGER’S OFFICE 847-835-4112 info@villageofglencoe.org

The Village Manager’s Office provides overall direction and administration of policies and programs established by the Village President and Board of Trustees, as well as preparation of the annual budget.

The Village Manager’s Office includes the Village’s human resources, legal, IT, communications, business services and Village Clerk functions, including maintaining Village records and responding to Freedom of Information Act requests.

ONLINE SERVICES

The Village launched a completely redesigned website in early 2017 — empowering residents to easily find useful information, learn about current projects, and make various service requests and payments online. Report

a pothole, missed garbage collection and more via the Service Request Portal, pay for utility bills, parking tickets and vehicle stickers through the Payment Center, and stay connected by subscribing to Village eNews and registering for Glencoe Connect. For more Village news and events, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Nextdoor.

PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES

Public education programs and community safety services are the foundation of the Public Safety Department’s partnership with the community. The department offers several educational programs and services, including: • Block Parties – Invite the fire department to your next block party. If available, crews stop by with our fire apparatus.

• Station Tours – Schedule a station tour for a fun and educational outing for your group.

• Home Safety Surveys – Our officers will be glad to drop by and offer advice on how to keep your home safe from fire hazards and prevent crimes.

• Blood Pressure Checks – Stop by the Public Safety lobby to have your blood pressure checked by a state certified Emergency Medical Technician.

• House Watch – If you’re leaving your home for more than a day or two, let Public Safety know and we’ll have officers walk the perimeter of your home every few days to ensure it is secure.

• Operation Reassurance – Operation Reassurance (also known as the Illinois Premise Alert Program) is designed to provide emergency response personnel with information about people with special needs. If an emergency occurs, the personnel will know about the special circumstance as they arrive on scene.

• Drug Collection and Disposal – In partnership with the Save a Star Drug Awareness Foundation, Public Safety offers a drug collection unit open to the public, no questions asked. Safely dispose of old, unwanted prescription and over the counter drugs in the Public Safety lobby at Village Hall, open 24-hours a day.

VILLAGE UTILITIES OVERVIEW Residents are billed quarterly for water and sewer as well as garbage and recycling collection. To set up, change or cancel service, call the Finance Department at 847-835-4113. Note that as of March 2017, a final water meter read fee of $75 will be charged.

GARBAGE COLLECTION The Village offers residents the option of back door or curbside garbage collection, with pick-up either once or twice a week.

Garbage must be out for collection by 7 a.m. but please do not place items at the curb more than 24 hours in advance.

Residents can choose from a wheeled cart purchased from the Village (35-, 65or 95- gallon in size) or an independently purchased container, which can be no larger than 44-gallons with handles for lifting and tight fitting covers (maximum of 4). Wheeled carts purchased from the Village must be placed at the curb.

Independently purchased 44-gallon containers can be placed at the curb or out in the open at the top of driveway.

44-gallon containers will not be collected if they are in a gated area or enclosed structure. Village crews are not permitted to enter homes, garages, porches or other private property structures to collect garbage.

RECYCLING COLLECTION Recycling in Glencoe is currently collected by Lakeshore Recycling Systems of Morton Grove. Pick-up is once a week on residents’ primary garbage collection day.

Place 95-gallon Village recycling carts at the curb, with handle facing your house, no later than 7 a.m. the day of collection.

Mix all recyclable materials together in the cart (no separation is necessary with single stream recycling). Please do not bag recycling materials — items should be loose in the cart.

GLENCOE STYLE FOR HOME AND BODY

BY PA M E L A R OT H B A R D

Glencoe, nestled on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan, features a shopping district that offers a little bit of everything you need (and want). It’s a destination for fashion, interesting home decor, and beautiful accessories all wrapped in a small-town package. In fact, most of the shops featured are owned by Glencoe natives and locals.

FINE JEWELRY AT FINE PRICES It’s no accident that Olsky Jewelers has been a Glencoe mainstay for 57 years; their expert watch and jewelry repair coupled with their beautiful jewelry at the lowest prices keep customers coming back. Olsky also offers custom design — and redesign — services with their resident goldsmith so you can create the perfect piece for that special someone. 348 Park Ave., Glencoe, chicagojewelryjewelers.com FUN FOR YOUR LITTLE ONE Know a budding chemist, artist or architect?

GLENCOE GIVES BACK – IT’S IN OUR DNA BYSUSAN B . NOYE S

Glencoe may be a relatively small community, but when it comes to social impact, this little village packs a big philanthropic punch.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF EACH ORGANIZATION

Although you won’t find it codified in the Glencoe Municipal Code or included as terms in any local real estate transaction, it certainly feels community engagement and a strong inclination to give back is a requirement of Glencoe residency. This is such a philanthropic and service-oriented village!

Glencoe’s activist roots go back at least as far as its participation in the Underground Railroad. A deep commitment to social justice, education, community service, arts and culture permeates this precious community.

There’s a good chance there’s at least one Glencoe resident on the board of every major Chicago civic institution. But there are so many great organizations in Glencoe that enable residents to give back and engage with a vibrant community right at home, too.

Camaraderie and community service abound at the Rotary, Women’s Library Club, Glencoe Social Club, Friends of the Library, Glencoe Historical Society, Welcome to Glencoe Group, Glencoe Community Garden, Sustainability Task Force and League Of Women Voters.

Our North Shore Exchange provides an innovative and fun way to help under-served youth in less fortunate communities as well as our neighbors. The Exchange resells clothes and household items through consignment or donation with proceeds supporting organizations that provide human services for children and families.

We enjoy strong schools in part because of the outstanding work by the Education Foundation, Glencoe Junior High Project and other school parent associations. When local families face a crisis, we help them too through the New Trier Township assistance programs and the Family Service of Glencoe.

And, oh yeah, we run a world-class theater company right here too. Our Jeanne Gang-designed Writers Theatre, privately funded by community donors, is the equal of nationally celebrated theaters across the country.

The Glencoe Chamber works hard to help great community happen and support these organizations, too. This is a most remarkable, engaged and philanthropic village indeed! www.glencoechamber.org

A FOODIE’S TOUR OF GLENCOE

BY JULIE CHERNOFF

Glencoe is a sparkling jewel in the North Shore’s crown, a small town with a big personality. Its pristine, tree-lined streets are flanked by graceful homes, the commuter rail whisks residents back and forth to the big city, and Lake Michigan glistens nearby. Culture beckons with the lure of the Jeanne Gangdesigned Writers Theatre, so of course, good food must follow! Here are some of our favorites.

BAKE 425 What’s better than homemade pizza, fresh out of the oven?

HISTORY OF GLENCOE Each May, Glencoe’s second graders travel about the business district, looking at pictures of intersections at various times in history and are asked what has changed over time. What was ”then” and what is ”now”?

While Glencoe has changed over the years, physically, it looks similar to the town that began to grow in the late 19th century.

Glencoe started as an agricultural hamlet, home to farms, a lumber yard and stagecoach stop. Over time it evolved into a suburban community with a local business district. Homes that were built shortly after the time Glencoe was incorporated in 1869 still stand today right next to those built more recently.

Native American Potawatomies were here before white settlement; they used the densely forested land for hunting. In 1835, Anson H. Taylor, storekeeper and future stage coach inn owner, moved with his family from Chicago to begin a new life.

He named the area Taylorsport — after himself. It was an agricultural hamlet with a lake, pier and farms plowed by English and German immigrants who joined the Taylors before the Civil War.

In the late 1860s, Dr. Alexander Hammond, a pediatrician idealist, came to town and bought Gurnee’s home. He then formed the Glencoe Company. Dr. Hammond’s dream was simple: he enlisted nine other men to join him in creating a utopia. Each man agreed to build a house for himself and another to sell to someone else. The company agreed to keep a park at the lakefront in perpetuity and to fund a church and a school. Unfortunately, the real estate declines of the 1870s put 3 6 G L E N C O E AT I T S B E S T

most of the Glencoe Company, and Dr. Hammond, out of business. But the village they founded, platted and incorporated in 1869 was on its way. With the railroad, Glencoe developed into a commuter community and summer home getaway.

In the early days, there were many German farmers in Glencoe such as the Diettrichs and the Beinlichs. During the second World War, the population grew and changed transforming the village toward a more suburban than rural community.

New residents moved in from all over — African Americans from the south and white ethnic groups from Chicago.

Glencoe’s downtown, or “uptown” as many of the older residents call it, has also witnessed a number of changes. The village never contained a large commercial center, but it has always bustled. Originally, there were blacksmith shops and feed stores. From 1902 to 1993, the business district’s anchor was Henry C. Wienecke’s (Win-eh-kees) hardware store. After the family sold the hardware store, the Wienecke’s property was converted into residential and retail spaces. The Glencoe Movie Theater, on Vernon Avenue, was razed in 1979, as was its neighbor, the

www.glencoechamber.org

Masonic Temple. Christophe’s, a five-anddime store, disappeared when the Harris Bank built its drive-through lane in the late 1970s. Reflecting the changing needs of the community, grocery stores, barber shops and soda fountains evolved into cleaners, clothing boutiques and banks.

The population steadily increased from the turn of the century through 1960. This required growth from the single all-village school to four schools: Central, South and North all built in the 1920s and 1930s, and West School which opened in 1957. The community became fully built out with the last major subdivision, Strawberry Hill, completed in the 1950s. Subsequently the population declined, forcing the 1976 closure of West School and the 1979 closure of North School, which was later reconfigured into the Community Center, now the Takiff Center. In the early 1990s, the population pendulum swung upward once more, prompting the 1992 re-opening of West School.

While the Village continues to evolve, Glencoe still retains a small-town feel, holding tightly to its heritage.

Glencoe grew after the 1855 arrival of the railroad. The station was located across from the house of Walter S. Gurnee, president of the Chicago and Milwaukee Railroad (later the Chicago and North Western and now Metra and the Union Pacific). Gurnee was a real estate speculator, as well as the former mayor of Chicago. He located the depot near his house after Anson Taylor rejected the idea of combining railroad and stage coach stops. The town grew up around the train. It’s likely that Gurnee also gave Glencoe its name to honor his Scottish roots as there’s an area of Scotland by the same name, but perhaps he named the village after his father-in-law, Matthew Coe (as in Coe’s Glen) who sold Gurnee his stock, farm and home.

GLENCOE HISTORICAL SOCIETY Founded in 1937, the Glencoe Historical Society (GHS) promotes Glencoe’s history and heritage by identifying and preserving objects, documents and photographs.

Over its 80 years, the all-volunteer GHS has grown from a few documents housed in two small file cabinets at the Glencoe Public Library to a national award-winning organization that hosts exhibits, lectures, events and a research center. Today’s museum campus consists of the 375 Park Avenue Museum; the 377 Park Avenue Museum and Research Center, and the fabulous Eklund Garden. The museum buildings and Eklund Garden were generously donated by Sara C. “Sally” Eklund.

Our full-service Research and Collection Center, at 377 Park Avenue, has expanded significantly through the years. Residents have donated letters, pictures, newspapers, tools and artifacts, including many oneof-a-kind items, such as the sign from Glencoe’s first structure, the LaPier Inn. It is an excellent resource to discover local history.

GHS continues to advance the Frank Lloyd Wright in Glencoe Legacy Project with the reconstruction of the Wrigh-t designed waiting station for the North Shore (electric) Line. The Project will also transform the small park immediately east of the waiting station into a park that reflects Jens Jensen’s philosophy and commitment to nature. An advocate for the use of native plant materials, Jensen was a landscape architect who designed many parks on the North Shore, including Glencoe.

TREVOR THE MUSICAL Aug. 9 – Sept. 17, 2017 Book and Lyrics by Dan Collins Music by Julianne Wick Davis Based on the Academy Award-winning film Trevor Music Direction by Matt Deitchman Choreography by Josh Prince Directed by Marc Bruni Performed in the Alexandra C. and John D. Nichols Theatre Meet Trevor, a 13-year-old boy in 1981 whose vibrant imagination drives a turbulent journey of self-discovery. As he deals with adolescence and all that goes with it, Trevor begins to explore what it means to be himself, influenced by his friends, parents . . . and Diana Ross.

Based on the story that inspired the Oscar-winning film, the charity and the national movement, Trevor the musical is a coming-of-age story about identity, emerging sexuality and the struggles of growing up in a world that may not be ready for you. This world-premiere musical is directed by Marc Bruni, who helmed the Tony Award-winning production of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical on Broadway.

QUIXOTE: ON THE CONQUEST OF SELF Sept. 27 – Dec. 17, 2017 After Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Written by Monica Hoth and Claudio Valdés Kuri English Translation by Georgina Escobar Directed by Claudio Valdés Kuri Performed in The Gillian Theatre This engaging and creative interpretation of the classic novel by Miguel de Cervantes transports audiences between time periods: from the fascinating universes created by Cervantes to the parallel realities of our current world. Along the way, the universally beloved dreamer Don Quixote helps bring new meaning to our triumphs and defeats, reawakening our forgotten desires and celebrating the joys of great literature.

Created by acclaimed Mexican director and internationally recognized artist Claudio Valdés Kuri and featuring a 4 0 G L E N C O E AT I T S B E S T

virtuoso performance in WT’s intimate Gillian Theatre, Quixote: On the Conquest of Self will immerse audiences in the story of this eccentric idealist and self-proclaimed knight errant, as they accompany him on a fantastic adventure filled with great humor and poignancy.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST November 8 – December 23, 2017 Written by Oscar Wilde Directed by Artistic Director Michael Halberstam Performed in the Alexandra C. and John D. Nichols Theatre

SMART PEOPLE March 21 – June 10, 2018

One of the cleverest comedies by one of the greatest writers in the English language, The Importance of Being Earnest introduces us to Jack and Algernon, two charming bachelors who are each living a double life, aided by a fictional alter ego called “Ernest.” But when they fall truly in love with a pair of proper young women, will they be able to bring an end to the charade and convince the formidable Lady Bracknell that they are suitable candidates for marriage?

Four intelligent, attractive and opinionated young urban professionals — a doctor, an actress, a psychologist, and a neurobiologist studying the human brain’s response to race — search for love, success, and identity while also attempting to navigate the intricacies of racial and sexual politics. This whip-smart new play taps into current cultural conversation in an enthralling and provocative way, taking on deep questions of the nature of prejudice with razor sharp wit.

Artistic Director Michael Halberstam brings his talent for refreshing the classics to this effervescent comedy of manners. Filled with sparkling wit, piercing social satire and trademark wordplay, this well-loved classic is certain to delight this holiday season!

Staged in WT’s intimate Gillian Theatre, this sexy, serious and fiercely funny new play explores the inescapable nature of racism and other tricky topics with rapid fire dialogue, shattering assumptions about our culture’s ingrained attitudes of racism, sexism and classism. You’re sure to be captivated by one of the smartest new plays of its time!

A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN February 7 – March 18, 2018 Written by Eugene O’Neill Directed by William Brown Performed in the Alexandra C. and John D. Nichols Theatre In 1920s rural Connecticut, Phil Hogan cobbles together a living on rented farmland that he hopes to someday own outright, when his landlord Jim Tyrone comes into his inheritance.

Hogan has driven away his three sons, but his towering daughter Josie understands her father and can hold her own. When the two learn that the land may be sold out from under them, they concoct a plan to save it that ultimately reveals the secret desires that two lonely souls have kept hidden for years.

This bittersweet elegy from four-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and Nobel laureate Eugene O’Neill offers a moving and powerful exploration of humanity at its basest and most beautiful.

Directed by WT Resident Director William Brown (Company, Doubt: A Parable, The Liar, A Little Night Music and many more), this soaring powerhouse of a play is simultaneously intimate and epic, touching on themes of desire, family and the things we sacrifice for those we love.

BURIED CHILD May 9 – June 17, 2018 Written by Sam Shephard Directed by Kimberly Senior Performed in the Alexandra C. and John D. Nichols Theatre On a cross-country trip from New York to the west coast, Vince and his girlfriend Shelly decide to make a stop at his grandparents’ rural Illinois home. But when they arrive, neither his grandparents, Dodge and Halie, nor his father Tilden and uncle Bradley seem to recognize or remember him. As Vince searches for answers, truths begin to emerge that reveal a deep corrosion of this fragmented family living in a forgotten America.

This Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece will be newly invigorated for the WT stage by Resident Director Kimberly Senior (Hedda Gabler, The Diary of Anne Frank, Marjorie Prime), drawing audiences deeply into the story of a family fighting to come to grips with an America that may have left them behind.
