Would you also like a turkey with that refrigerator?As I bought my Thanks-

giving turkey I was reminded of another long-gone Gurn-ee business. At one time, Petropoulos Brothers ap-pliance store was one of the top appliance stores in Lake County. Located on the far eastern edge of the village of Gurnee, it was on the north side of Grand Avenue (Route 132) immediately west of the “Welcome to Gurnee” sign. The building now houses a thrift store.

When I was a little girl liv-ing in Lake Villa, we used to take Grand Avenue when we visited relatives in Waukegan and North Chicago. One of the highlights of the trip through Gurnee was watching for Petropoulos Brothers’ annual Thanksgiving sales “gim-mick.” In the weeks between Halloween and Thanksgiving, in the little side lot to the east of the store, there would be a pen containing a flock of white-feathered turkeys.

I remember asking my dad, the late Clark Wetterberg (I thought he knew everything

and everybody), why those big birds were in that pen. “They’re turkeys,” he said.

“Why are they white? Why aren’t they pretty colors like the ones in the history book?” I said.

“They’re domestic tur-keys,” he replied. “The ones in the history book are wild turkeys. Wild turkeys are smart. Domestic turkeys are stupid.”

Notice he still hadn’t an-swered my original question.

“But why are they in that pen, Daddy?”

“They’re a sales gimmick,” he answered. “A way to get people to buy things by mak-ing them think they are get-ting something for nothing.”

You see, if you bought a major appliance from Pet-ropoulos Brothers during that pre-Thanksgiving time, you’d get a free turkey. A live

turkey! Hmm ... I wonder how many people took them up on that offer.

For all I know, Petropoulos Brothers used the same flock of turkeys year after year be-cause who wants to deal with a live turkey, especially one that’s dumb as a box of rocks!

When we first got mar-ried 50 years ago, Bob and I lived in the little four-unit apartment building down the block from where we now live. When we bought a house on the same street, we carried the furniture down the street and used a borrowed pickup truck to haul the rest of the stuff. My parents bought us a washer and dryer (from Sears, which was in downtown Waukegan at the time), and we borrowed an apartment-size stove from my folks since my mother wasn’t using it. However, we needed a refrigerator.

Now we moved into our house on Oct. 1. I didn’t want to wait too long to buy a fridge. Why? Because I figured we’d go to Petropoulos Broth-ers, but I did not want to deal

with a live turkey – not as a pet, not as Thanksgiving din-ner. That’s why God invented Butterball, so housewives wouldn’t have to deal with live turkeys.

So, we went shopping for a refrigerator before we were scheduled to move in, trying to time delivery so we wouldn’t be without one for too long.

I remember that store having a long line of refriger-ators as well as lines of stoves and washers and dryers. We picked out a Frigidaire that would fit in our “new” kitch-en, making arrangements for delivery. As we were paying for it, the salesman asked if we’d like to wait a week or so.

“That way, you could get a free turkey,” he said.

“Um ... no thanks,” I was quick to reply. “I’ll just go to Jewel.”

Have a Happy Thanksgiv-ing!

Felder excels as he channels Irving BerlinCHICAGO – Hershey

Felder has distinguished himself as a virtuoso pianist, accomplished singer-actor and impeccable mimic, appearing in one-man shows he wrote including “George Gershwin Alone,” “Monsieur Chopin,” “Beethoven, As I Knew Him,” “Maestro Bernstein,” and as Franz Liszt in “Musik.”

Midwest audiences now get to see the talented Felder at Royal George Theatre in his latest work, “Hershey Felder as Irving Berlin.” Featuring lyrics and music by Ber-lin, and based on a book by Felder, this production is on a national tour (stopping here through Dec. 6) ahead of its opening in New York City. It’s directed by Travor Hay.

Felder fluidly captures the popular songwriter’s long life in the engaging one-hour, 45-minute show, following Ber-lin from his birth in May 1888 to his death at the age of 101. He brings to the stage Berlin’s his marriage and children as well as touchstone ups and downs in his illustrious career.

Born in Czarist Russia as Is-rael Baline, Berlin fled from an-ti-Semitic persecution during the 1890s, settling with his family in New York’s Lower East Side. As a teen, he worked as a street singer and singing waiter in Chinatown. A self-taught pianist, he soon found he had talent as a lyricist.

Known as “America’s composer,” Berlin wrote 232 Top 10 songs, including 25 that

were No. 1 on the charts; he also turned out the score for multiple musicals and films. Sprinkled through the show are a number of his most popular hits, including “How Deep Is the Ocean,” “Always,” “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” “Alexander’s Rag-time Band,” “Easter Parade,” and, first sung by Bing Crosby in 1942, “White Christmas.”

Audience members joined in when Felder performed

Berlin’s composition of “God Bless America,” first sung by Kate Smith.

Explaining the forces that led him to songwriting, Felder (as Berlin) cited love of coun-try, his wife, his children and the audiences he reached.

3JOE GLINIEWICZ INVESTIGATION

Officer kept secret stash of equipment

Matthew Apgar - [email protected]

Fox Lake Village Administrator Anne Marrin looks Nov. 19 through mounds of boxes full of military surplus items purchased by Lt. Joe Gliniewicz for the Police Explorers program he oversaw. The items were stored in the basement of an infrequently used village community building in Fox Lake.

By KEVIN P. CRAVER [email protected]

FOX LAKE – The base-ment that is home to the Fox Lake Police Explorers post looks like disgraced Lt. Joe Gliniewicz was preparing for a zombie apocalypse rather than teaching youth about police work.

The room at the bottom of a flight of stairs behind a padlocked door at the village community center is packed full of military gear meant to equip combat troops. Kev-lar helmets, including sev-eral with built-in radio sets for tank drivers, fill several boxes and bins, as do nu-merous pairs of combat fa-tigues in woodland and des-ert colors. Other boxes hold bulletproof vests, gas masks and load-bearing vests that allow soldiers to carry

high-capacity magazines and hand grenades.

It’s a stockpile that au-thorities say Gliniewicz ille-gally obtained over the years through a controversial pro-gram that has allowed law enforcement nationwide to obtain military weaponry, vehicles and equipment at little to no cost. And it was the discovery of the stock-pile by new Village Admin-istrator Anne Marrin, and her eagerness to get a full accounting of it, that could have led Gliniewicz to kill himself.

The size of the stash still amazes Marrin and Lake County Sheriff’s Detective Chris Covelli, who was part of the task force that investi-gated what at first appeared to be a heroic officer killed in the line of duty.

“We were overwhelmed with the amount of surplus gear located in here,” Covel-li said as he looked through one of the boxes.

Discovery of surplus in basement could have led to suicide

See STASH, page 9

Freeze order on wife’s bank accounts remains in placeBy CHELSEA McDOUGALL [email protected]

WAUKEGAN – The freeze on Melodie Gliniewicz’s bank account was extended Nov. 20, as attorneys issue subpoenas and the ongoing investigation of her late hus-band’s alleged embezzlement continues.

An agreed order between the attorneys notes the freeze orders on Melodie Gliniewicz’s bank accounts issued Nov. 6 will continue until a hearing date Dec. 7.

Melodie Gliniewicz – al-though under investigation for any role she may have played in her husband’s alleged money laundering

scheme – has not been crim-inally charged. For now, the matter of her bank accounts is playing out in a civil courtroom. She did not ap-pear in Lake County court Nov. 20.

“What kind of animal is this, is it civil or is it crim-inal?” said her attorney, Charles Smith, during the

brief hearing.Her husband, Fox Lake

Police Lt. Joseph Gliniewicz died Sept. 1. Prosecutors said he shot himself twice with his service weapon and staged his death to look like a homicide.

An extensive manhunt and expansive funeral fol-lowed his death, before de-

tectives revealed earlier this month the Fox Lake of-ficer’s death was a suicide. Authorities said he killed himself as village officials were closing in on his years of pilfering money from the Fox Lake Explorer Post that he ran.

Magic still strong for food pantryLAKE COUNTY JOURNAL

GURNEE – Jackie’s Mag-ic was held Saturday at War-ren Township High School in Gurnee.

The magic show began in 2004 after a Gurnee family, the Stanislawskis, lost their 20-year-old daughter Jackie in a car accident. Jackie’s Magic is held each year as a fundraiser to honor Jackie’s memory and to collect non-perishable food items for the community.

Before the accident, Jack-ie was working at the Col-lege of Lake County daycare center and wanted to be a special needs teacher, ac-cording to her mother, Jan. After the accident, her par-ents opened the trunk of her car and found it filled with cans of food she’d been col-lecting to donate.

Jackie’s father, Jim, got into magic when his young-er daughter was making frequent visits to Children’s

Memorial Hospital and he’d do tricks to entertain the kids. Jackie eventually be-came her dad’s magic assis-tant.

Proceeds benefit the Warren Township Food Pantry.

Visit www.jackiesmagic.weebly.com for more infor-mation.

KNEE PAIN?

KNEE JOINTWITH ARTHIRITIS

Over 100 million Americans suffer from knee and joint pain? This pain accounts for25 percent of all visits to primary care physicians and half of all anti-inflammatorydrug prescriptions.Have you ever wondered how different your life would beif you could get rid of your knee pain? Where would you go, what would you do?What would you give for a day, a week or a lifetime of pain-free mobility? We arepleased to announce that knee pain sufferers don’t have to wait any longer toget the most advanced, non-surgical, FDA approved treatment. If you suffer fromany degree of knee pain, we invite you to regain control of your life by visitingSuperior Health & Wellness, a state-of-the-art medical facility.

WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA)?Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative jointdisease, is the most common type of arthritis. Inosteoarthritis, the surface layer of cartilage breaksdown and wears away. This allows the bones underthe cartilage to rub together, resulting in pain,swelling and loss of motion of the joint. Although insome people it progresses quickly, in most individualsjoint damage develops gradually over years.

WHAT ELSE IS AVAILABLE TO TREATKNEE PAIN?After careful study and several trials, the FDAapproved a new treatment aimed at helping thosewith knee pain. This new treatment is a high-techanswer for all those who think that surgery, dietarysupplements and prescription medications arethe only option to eliminate knee pain.

HOWDOES THIS TREATMENTWORK?We use diagnostic ultrasound, allowing the doctor to pinpointproblem areas with extreme accuracy. A viscosupplement isthen injected, and the healing process begins. Viscosupplementationbonds with naturally occurring joint fluid to create a lubricating andcushioning layer. It reduces pain, inflammation and swelling of thejoint. Patients compare the treatment to getting a shot at the doctor’soffice, and report little pain or discomfort.

WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE KNEE?Hyaluronic acid is similar to substances that occur naturally inyour joint. The outside of the joint (joint capsule) is comprimisedof a sturdy, fibrous tissue. The lining of the joint capsule containssynovial cells, which secrete a thick, viscous synovial fluid.Hyaluronic acid contributes to the viscous nature of the jointfluid, nourishes the cartilage, helps eliminate waste products,lubricates the joint and acts as a shock absorber inside thejoint.Hyaluronic acid is reduced or lost from those who sufferfrom osteoarthritis. It is similar to changing the oil in your car.If your car were to run low on oil, you would have some seriouswear and tear on the moving parts.

HOWDO I KNOW THAT THIS IS RIGHT FORME?In most cases, if you have knee pain, this is a great solution. Ourdoctors will give you an honest and fair evaluation of your particularknee pain.

EPA Completes Review ofH.O.D. Landfill Superfund Site

Antioch, Illinois

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has completed a review ofthe H.O. D. Landfill Superfund site, 55 McMillan Road, Antioch,Illinois. The Superfund law requires regular checkups of sites that havebeen cleaned up – with waste managed on-site – to make sure thecleanup continues to protect people and the environment. This was thethird review of the site.

This review included an evaluation of background information, cleanuprequirements, effectiveness of the cleanup, and maintenance andmonitoring efforts. It also looked at ways to operate more efficiently.

EPA’s cleanup of vinyl chloride-contaminated groundwater at theabandoned landfill consisted of cap improvements, enhanced gas andleachate collection systems, leachate treatment, and monitored naturalattenuation of groundwater. Institutional controls, including deedrestrictions, regulate the use of the property and groundwater. Thereview found the cleanup continues to protect people and theenvironment. The next scheduled review will be in 2020.

The five-year review and other site information are available at theAntioch Public Library, 757 N. Main St. (Route 83), Antioch, and athttp://www.epa.gov/superfund/hod-landfill. If you have questions orneed further information, contact:

Gliniewicz was found shot dead Sept. 1 after radioing in that he was pursuing three suspicious individuals near an abandoned building.

The community mourned “G.I. Joe” and police officers came from all over the coun-try to give him a hero’s funer-al.

But investigators conclud-ed earlier this month that Gliniewicz, a 30-year veter-an of the force, shot himself and staged the crime scene out of fear of getting caught for stealing tens of thousands of dollars from the Explorers program that he led for years.

His personnel file reveals he was continuously promot-ed and given increased re-sponsibilities, despite a work history filled with misdeeds such as sexual harassment, threats to co-workers and problem drinking.

And documents obtained through the Freedom of In-formation Act from the state office that administers the surplus program reveal the misplaced blind trust that police and village officials placed in Gliniewicz allowed him to obtain piles of military gear in plain sight on village property.

“It was most definitely a lack of oversight and a lack of accountability,” Marrin said.

No oversightFox Lake is one of more

than 8,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide that ob-tains excess Department of Defense equipment through the Law Enforcement Support Office. The program has trans-ferred more than $5.4 billion in property, from socks and office supplies to assault rifles and armored personnel car-riers, since its creation more than 20 years ago, according to the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency, which administers what is known to police as the 1033 Program.

Critics allege the program contributes to what they call the “militarization” of po-lice officers – they argue that equipping police officers like soldiers is making them act like soldiers, and look at the communities they serve as an enemy.

And among Gliniewicz’s responsibilities was being the

main point of contact for Fox Lake’s participation in the 1033 Program since at least 2006, according to documents.

D o c u m e n t s r e v e a l Gliniewicz made at least sev-en trips to Springfield since 2006 to procure much of the equipment now taking up space in the Explorers’ room. In June 2010 he brought back 37 Kevlar helmets, 18 combat boots and 65 pairs of cam-ouflage pants, a small part of the military wardrobe he amassed.

An April 2011 trip yielded 25 gun holsters, 25 magazine holders and 19 bulletproof vests, not to mention a Hum-vee for the department.

Gliniewicz stated in text messages that he forged the signature of then-police Chief Michael Behan to obtain some of the orders, Covelli said – in-vestigators combed through more than 6,500 pages of texts Gliniewicz deleted from his phone before his death.

Even the items Gliniewicz obtained without deception appear to violate LESO’s rules. Equipment obtained through LESO can be used only for “bona fide law en-forcement requirements,” which the Police Explorers program is not.

M o r e a l a r m i n g l y , Gliniewicz was listed in the paperwork as the point of con-tact for obtaining weapons under the program.

Fortunately, federal over-sight for military weapons and vehicles is much more stringent than for “general is-sue” items that only stay on the books for one year.

Weapons stay on the gov-ernment’s books for as long as departments have them, and they must be returned, trans-ferred or verified destroyed if departments want to get rid of them.

The entire inventory of weapons obtained by the Fox Lake Police Department under LESO – 24 .45-caliber handguns, seven M-16 rifles and three M-14 rifles – has been accounted for in the po-lice arms room, Covelli said.

Not all of the surplus was combat-related. Gliniewicz obtained a large amount of computer equipment under LESO – a table near the shelf holding the Explorers Post awards holds keyboards, mon-itors and other items.

Day of reckoningMarrin started as Fox

Lake’s first professional vil-lage administrator in March 2014. While she had seven dif-ferent departments and 106 full-time employees to look after, she became particularly interested in the goings-on at the police department.

“Things just didn’t seem right to me with the police department, and the more I asked, the less I found out,” Marrin said.

T e x t m e s s a g e s f r o m Gliniewicz showed that her questions and eagerness to look around made him very uncomfortable. In one he called her a “power monger” who is “trying to control ev-erything in the village.”

In another, he seemed to indicate either planting some-thing on her to frame her or

killing her and disposing of her in Volo Bog – investiga-tors later learned Gliniewicz was interested in arranging a meeting to put a contract out on her.

It was Marrin’s visit on Aug. 28 to the community center basement – which the Explorers had taken over de-spite no paperwork or written agreement – that apparently marked the beginning of the end for Gliniewicz. “Wow” was the first thing that Mar-rin said came to mind when she saw all the gear.

“Where did this all come from, was my first thought, and why do we need so much of it?” Marrin said.

M a r r i n a p p r o a c h e d Gliniewicz after morning roll call Aug. 31. She wanted an-swers.

“I said, ‘Lieutenant, I need a full inventory of everything

in the Explorers’ building – every item, every purchase order, every authorization. Do you have that?’ He an-swered, ‘Yes, ma’am,’” Mar-rin said.

M a r r i n s a i d s h e t o l d Gliniewicz she wanted every-thing by 2 p.m., and he again responded, “Yes, ma’am.”

But Gliniewicz was upset and worried about where the inventory would lead next, according to his deleted text messages. Shortly after his ex-change with Marrin, he texted former chief Behan, who re-tired under pressure days ear-lier over an unrelated issue.

“She has now demanded a complete inventory of explod-er central [sic] and a financial report … FML,” which is a text abbreviation for, “[exple-tive) my life.”

Trapped in homesThe weekend weather was terri-

ble, as everyone knows, and if you live in Lake County housing you couldn’t even walk out the door or try to get your car. They never plowed, they never brought salt or anything. We were just stuck, and this was not the first time, and it seems terrible because there was a 24- or 48-hour notice for the storm, and I just wanted to say thank you Lake County housing for not being able to get out and get anything I needed. I hope everyone else is well.

Not enough jobsThey waste too much mon-

ey on the defense budget in the United States and going overseas and blowing money in the Middle East. … In the 1890s, it was great, immigration, but right now there’s not enough jobs for the people that live here, and I think that letting more people in this country, I don’t care where they’re from, whether they’re from Europe, or south of the border, or from the Middle East, I don’t think we need any more immigration into the United States. We just don’t have enough jobs here.

Cuts to social programsRegarding the Sound Off …

that blames Democrats for cuts to Social Security. … Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, was just appointed Speaker of the House. His mission in life as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee was to privatize, dis-mantle and ultimately destroy Social Security. He and all other Republicans are trying to do the same thing to Medicare. It is in the DNA of Republicans to elimi-nate any and all social programs.

Not neighborlyI had noticed a longstanding,

but seemingly fading, tradition in neighborhoods, when kids go from house to house and trick or treat on Halloween seems to be going by the wayside, and it probably has to do a lot with people not wanting to reach out to other people and not being as neighborly as possible. It used to be we used to know our neigh-

bors, have barbecues together, have block parties together, do things together. Now with social media sprouting up all over the place, we become more isolated and, in turn, has affected kids going trick-or-treating.

Not robber baronsI had no idea that Ida Tarbell

was still reporting on John D. Rockefeller or any other robber barons. In terms of police, teach-ers and firefighters, they don’t double-dip into Social Security, that’s a separate fund. They have their own fund, and I don’t think the pensions have been very well managed. However, people don’t sign up to be police, teachers and firefighters because they’re robber barons. They’re actually out there help-ing people. Few people retire at 50 because of the economy and because of their lifespans.

Damage to middle classInsurance premiums are really

going up too much because of Obamacare. Everybody I know that’s self-employed is paying a lot more money and workers, through their work, are paying a lot more money, lots more is being taken out of each paycheck because of Obamacare. This is getting ridiculous. I mean, I like Obama as a person, but it seems like he’s really damaging the ... status of the middle class.

Trade deals cost jobsI used to be a Democrat, but

after hearing about the Demo-crats and their support of NAFTA in the Clinton administration and also the [Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement] in the Obama administration that’s going to result in the loss of almost a half a million jobs, just the TTP. NAFTA resulted in the loss of 3 million jobs, all under a Democratic administration, all supported by Bill Clinton, Hillary’s husband.

The November election is a long way ahead, but it’s not too early to discuss what’s re-ally the big issue. With all the presidency candidates, I’ve been amazed that very few of them highlight what’s really at stake. They, above anyone, should realize the crucial issue is the vast amount of money spent in politics, and running for public office, espe-cially for the presidency.

Compared to Republicans, Democrats are playing the game with a set of Tinker toys. It’s as if the Republicans are playing the same game, but with a multitude of precious pearls, and in the end, we will never know how much will be spent in that election.

The whole process is un-worthy. Can anyone in good conscience say these relative few (yet mega-rich) contribu-tors are digging deep in their huge resource pockets to guar-antee that good government will thrive and survive in America, and a representative democracy will prevail?

No! It doesn’t take much in political perceptive analysis to realize the Supreme Court decision to allow unlimited political campaign funds to be spent, and much of it without

transparency, tilts the policies toward their own special interests.

Although this tilt has been forging ahead for at least three decades, it’s now unmanage-able and scary. This may be the first in all my years that I have followed elections where so many people in high levels of authority are warning that representative democracy has eroded in America.

They warn a plutocracy has developed that promotes and protects a marginally small number of ultra-rich individuals and the corporate mega-contributors.

Some time ago, I read a quote from Sen. Elizabeth War-ren that strikes at the greed

from which these mega-rich political donors are profiting.

“There is nobody in this country who struck it rich on their own. Nobody,” she said, adding several ways the rich have depended on highways and other taxpayer payments for their movement of goods, etc.

Enormous grants and sub-sidies have further enriched the already-rich one-percen-ters who stretch their greed across the board. If America is going to show its displea-sure over that plutocratic spread, which has drowned our middle class and made it almost impossible for the poor to deal, the vast majority of Americans must participate

in the election process with a loud, “Enough is enough!”

I’ve often read the most suc-cessful empires have fallen, not by the swords and bullets of adversaries, but by the corrup-tion, greed and misgoverning within. We’re doing it to our-selves. Our No. 1 self-inflicted stab in our economic back has been the outsourcing of jobs to further enrich the wealthy at the expense of the general welfare of America and its representative democracy.

Take your choice in 2016.

Details on what specifically attorneys are seeking through the subpoenas is unknown at this time, but generally, Smith said he is seeking Jo-seph Gliniewicz’s pay records and other financials from the village of Fox Lake. He noted discovery in this matter was “90 percent” complete.

Lake County Judge Christo-pher Starck on Nov. 20 warned attorneys not to “try their case in the media.” Neither Smith nor Lake County Assistant State’s Attorney Ken LaRue offered comment outside the courtroom.

“It’s an ongoing investiga-tion. We’ve agreed we shouldn’t say anything outside of your presence,” Smith told Starck at a brief court appearance.

Lake County investigators froze Melodie Gliniewicz’s bank accounts as they look into her involvement. An af-fidavit alleges Joseph and Melodie Gliniewicz exerted unauthorized control over Ex-plorer funds for years. Joseph Gliniewicz used that account for routine and more “signif-

icant” expenses, prosecutors said. Purchase included coffee runs, restaurants, movie the-aters, health clubs, hormonal supplements and adult and dating websites. He also paid student loans and made cash withdrawals, according to court documents.

The Explorer account fund-ed a trip to Hawaii in August 2014 that cost $5,683, prosecu-tors said.

Authorities claimed that four months later, Melodie Gliniewicz wrote a check to that account from her personal bank account for $4,275 with the note “Hawaii reimburse pd in full.”

Prosecutors froze her ac-counts without notice, and without probable cause of money laundering, and as a result she has been unable to pay her mortgage, doctor bills and other family expenses, her attorneys have said.

In a news release issued earlier this week, Melodie Gliniewicz asked the commu-nity, police, pension board and media to refrain from rushing to judgment.

“Melodie has faith the truth will come out in time,” the statement reads “and if neces-sary, in court.”

“It was very clear that what was coming next would be the village administrator would want documents pertaining to the [Explorers] financials,” Covelli said.

Five o’clock came and went, and Gliniewicz had not sub-mitted any paperwork. Marrin sent him an email again de-manding it.

At 6:54 a.m. the next day, Gliniewicz sent Marrin an email saying he would have everything to her by noon. He would not – his body was found by his fellow officers, in what turned out to be an elab-orately staged scene, an hour and 15 minutes later.

The improperly obtained surplus is not the only dis-turbing thing investigators found in the Explorers’ base-

ment. Covelli and Marrin said the room contained bags of live handgun and rifle am-munition.

A drug-sniffing dog twice detected the presence of nar-cotics in the room, although none was found. The room set aside for youth also con-tained manuals for SWAT and police sniper operations.

What next?More than 900 pieces of

government surplus now fill the Explorers’ basement – the sheer amount of it forced the village to hire an outside firm to catalog it all.

The next step, Marrin said, is to compare that list to the lists obtained from the state LESO office to determine if anything is missing, which would raise questions about whether Gliniewicz was giv-ing it away or selling it.

“We have the final invento-

ry of what’s there. Now starts the reconciliation – we have to move to find how we got it, and then try to match up what’s supposed to be where,” Marrin said.

Marrin is not the only per-son going over Fox Lake’s participation in LESO. The state LESO office also plans to do its own on-site review for compliance, said Mere-dith Krantz, spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Central Management Ser-vices.

“If irregularities are found during the review, Fox Lake police could be suspended from LESO while they work to create a corrective action plan,” Krantz said in a state-ment.

After everything is settled, the village has to determine what to do with the stockpile Gliniewicz accumulated.

Some items may have legit-

imate police use – Covelli said the Kevlar helmets possibly could end up staying with the department. Other items could end up being given to other police departments that may have a use for them.

Marrin said she is looking into giving the cots and sleep-ing bags Gliniewicz acquired to area homeless shelters, or a county emergency manage-ment agency.

Covelli said any uses would have to be good and positive ones.

“We’ll go through piece by piece and determine what the police officers here can use, and what to do with the rest of the gear,” Covelli said.

While civil liberties groups have raised concerns over the 1033 Program for years, the program and the underlying concern of police militariza-tion began undergoing sig-nificant scrutiny last year in

the wake of police response to civil unrest in Ferguson, Missouri.

President Barack Obama earlier this year signed an executive order forbidding police departments from ob-taining certain items they were previously able to get under the program, such as grenade launchers, bayonets, tracked armored vehicles, weaponized aircraft and fire-arms chambered in .50-caliber or higher.

Several states and other governments have taken ac-tion on their own to slow or stop the flow of military gear to local law enforcement. The McHenry County Board last year, out of financial con-cerns, started requiring a full board vote for any acquisition of military surplus that would result in added costs for fuel, maintenance, training or in-surance.

ber 26, 201521BASKETBALL PREVIEWS

Lake County teams feature plenty of talentGIRLSLIBERTYVILLECoach: Greg PedersenKey Returning Players: Senior – Maggie

Piazzi; Juniors – Claire Keefe, Riley Weis, Caroline Frea, Molly Cayce, Maggie O’Sulli-van and Hannah Heraty

Key Newcomers: Seniors – Erin Dunleavy and Allison Watson; Juniors – Sarah Pavelske and Jenna El Ghatit

Outlook: A team full of sophomores last season returns as a team full of juniors with a lot of experience this season. Pedersen believes the team is still young and will need to make progress on defense and in its toughness to be competitive in the North Suburban Conference. The key to the Wildcats’ success will be their guards.

MUNDELEINCoach: Martin PazaninKey Returning Players: Seniors - Madison

Davis, Amy Richards and Caity Pieklo; Juniors – Rachel Tipperreiter and Kendall Wald

Key Newcomers: Juniors – Sarah Ouimet, Alana Goodson and Taylor Parola; Sopho-more – Kelsy Austwick

Outlook: Pazanin takes over the program and should lead an exciting brand of basketball. Under the new system, Mundelein will look to get the ball up and down the court.

ROUND LAKECoach: Howard ConklingKey Returning Players: Seniors – Tatyana

Steadman and Miyah Johnson; Juniors – Lesley Diaz and Amparo Vargas

Key Newcomers: Senior – Kiari Terry; Junior – Emely Martinez; Sophomores – Alesia Jimdar, Allie Ramirez, Hannah Brooks and Griselda Martinez

Outlook: Round Lake again will be a young team that looks to improve as the season moves forward. Four sophomores figure to be part of the Panthers’ rotation and will only get better as they gain experience. Conkling said the goals and outlook for Round Lake are simple – be competitive.

VERNON HILLSCoach: Paul BrettnerKey Returning Players: Seniors – Dana

Meline, Danielle Comitor and Katie Long; Juniors – Becky Bahlmann, Katie Burrows and Sophie Lehocky

Key Newcomers: Juniors – Emma Pappano, Sarah Demas and Sammie Biede; Freshmen – Piper Bedell, Kayla Caudle and Dakiya Daniels

Outlook: Brettner returns for his 16th season to lead the Cougars. Vernon Hills has a nice mix of youth and experience. Brettner believes the Cougars will compete in their di-

vision and be ready for the playoffs in March.

WARRENCoach: John StanczykiewiczKey Returning Players: Seniors – Jocelyn

Bell, Alexis Young and Alaja Young-Keyes; Juniors – Rebekah Foley and Kiara Mabien; Sophomores – Jordyn Hughes and Kaylen Dickson

Key Newcomers: Juniors – Leah Davis and Asha Lake; Sophomores – Alexandra Beien and Abigail Mellican; Freshmen – Caitlyn Britton and Dana Lundtveit

Outlook: Warren returns leading scorer Hughes, who is entering her sophomore season. The Blue Devils have a nice mix of youth and experience and are eyeing a

successful season.

WAUCONDACoach: Jamie DennisKey Returning Players: Senior – Corrina

Vaughan; Juniors – Hayley Redmann and Katie Rossetti

Key Newcomer: Freshman – Allie TylkaOutlook: The Bulldogs are in rebuild mode

after losing eight seniors last season. Dennis likes the solid core of returnees she has coming back and believes they will be competitive but adds the team may strug-gle with consistency until the newcomers get up to speed. Wauconda will rely on returning players Vaughan and Rossetti to provide leadership.

BOYSLIBERTYVILLECoach: Brent BorkKey Returning Players: Seniors – Paul

Steinhaus, Jabari Quigley, Cam Chen and Ben Kimpler

Key Newcomers: Juniors – Brandon Rule, Harrison Bach, Ben Skeens and Drew Forti-ni; Sophomore – Drew Peterson

Outlook: Bork takes over as coach at Libertyville, which means a new system. Because a few members of the team are still playing football, the Wildcats could start the season off slow but improve as they get back to full strength.

MUNDELEINCoach: Corey KniggeKey Returning Players: Senior – Isaiah

Woolford; Sophomore – Tommy MarcotteKey Newcomers: Junior – Aaron Woolford;

Sophomores – Andrew Silva, Nick Parmley and Jeff Bikus

Outlook: The Mustangs are going to be young with five sophomores getting playing time. Knigge believes the team is talented. Mundelein’s success may depend on its mental toughness.

ROUND LAKECoach: Jeremy FisherKey Returning Players: Seniors – Michael

Green, Javari Goodwin and Dallas Soto; Junior – Zach Kuligoski

Key Newcomers: Seniors – Jordan Keith and Deandre Jones; Junior – Julian Herrera

Outlook: Round Lake should be competitive this season with an experienced roster led by Green. The Panthers return eight players and have strong senior leadership.

VERNON HILLSCoach: Matt McCartyKey Returning Players: Seniors – Eric Wei-

ler, Andrew Daguinsin and Tanner TolariKey Newcomer: Sophomore – Derrick JonesOutlook: McCarty believes there are a lot of

unknowns this season. Vernon Hills gradu-ated its top seven players and most of its scoring from last season. The new crop has worked hard all summer, and although they struggled at times, they stayed positive. McCarty is looking forward to the challenge of helping Vernon Hills reach its potential.

WARRENCoach: Jonathan JasnochKey Returning Players: Seniors – Maurice

Chambers and Corey Ball; Juniors – Jayson Dorsey and Juwan Perry

Key Newcomers: Junior – Declan O’Connor; Sophomore – Branden Ellis

Outlook: Jasnoch takes over the Blue Devils after previously being an assistant coach. Chambers is the only returning starter from last season, but the team does have a few other players who played significant minutes last season. O’Connor and Ellis have a lot of potential.

WAUCONDACoach: Scott LuetschwagerKey Returning Players: Seniors –

Bryan Nee, Dylan Latiolais, Parker Fink and Danny Stanley

Key Newcomer: Sophomore – Jimmy Ott

Outlook: After having some de-cent size the past few seasons, the Bulldogs will be guard-heavy this season. What Wauconda lacks in size, it makes up for in talent. The Bulldogs may play five guards on the floor at one time at some point during the season. Wauconda was hoping to have Zac Lahrman lead the team this season, but he will miss the season after having surgery last month. Luetschwa-ger believes the roster is one of the most talented he’s coached during his seven years at Wau-conda.

Libertyville football team marches on to state finalBy TIM SIECK

[email protected]

With his high school foot-ball career nearing an end, Riley Lees wasn’t about to let Libertyville fall short of an ap-pearance in the state finals for the second year in a row.

With the Wildcats trailing 17-16 on the final play of the game Nov. 21, the senior quar-terback sneaked the ball just over the goal line to give Lib-ertyville a dramatic 22-17 win over Bradley-Bourbonnais in a snow-covered semifinal.

The Wildcats will play for the Class 7A title at 4 p.m. Nov. 28 against Glenbard West (13-0) at Northern Illinois Univer-sity.

Libertyville jumped out to an early 14-0 lead, thanks to two rushing touchdowns by

Lees, but the host Boilermak-ers turned it on and made a game of it.

Lees finished the game with 227 yards rushing to lead the Wildcats.

This will be Libertyville’s first appearance in the cham-pionship game since 2004 when the Wildcats defeated Cary-Grove.

Lake County players on all-state football team

The Illinois Football Coach-es Association announced its all-state team this week and Lake County had a few mem-bers on it.

In Class 6A, Lakes line-backer Dave Boudart made the team, along with Dami Oladunmoye of Grayslake North.

In Class 7A, Libertyville’s

Riley Lees and Ben Kimpler were named to the team.

GIRLS SWIMMINGLibertyville, Warren compete in state finals

Macey Neubauer of Liber-tyville led the way for local swimmers by finishing in the top 10 in three events at the Nov. 21 state finals at New Tri-er High School.

Neubauer finished ninth in the 200-meter individual med-ley, 10th in the breaststroke, and was part of the medley re-lay team that finished eighth.

Joining Neubauer on the medley relay team were Mer-edith Robbins, Staci Herchen-bach and Emma Richert.

Morgan Paul competed as a diver for Libertyville and fin-ished in eighth place.

As a team, the Wildcats fin-ished 18th.

Courtney Barker of Warren finished in sixth place in the 100 backstroke and added an eighth-place finish in the 50 freestyle.

GIRLS BASKETBALLGlenbrook South 68, Grayslake North 50

Grayslake North had a strong start to its season but fell just short of a champion-ship at the Mundelein Thanks-giving Tournament.

The Knights went 4-0 in the tournament before falling to a tough Glenbrook South team. Grayslake North held an ear-ly lead in the championship game, but the Titans went on a run and never looked back.

The Knights’ combination

of Sidney Lovitsch and Bran-di Thibeaux have led Grays-lake North all season, and they once again led the show Nov. 21. Thibeaux paced the Knights with 23 points and Lovitsch added 19 as they combined for 42 of Grayslake North’s 50 points.

Carmel 41, Mundelein 32In other action at the Mun-

delein Thanksgiving Tourna-ment, Carmel defeated the host Mustangs on Nov. 21 to finish 2-3, while Mundelein ended up 1-4 in the six-team round-robin format.

Alexa Amato scored nine points for Carmel while Mary Kate Mooney added eight points.

Mundelein was led by Ken-dall Wald and Amy Richards, who each scored 10 points.
