The lawsuit claims John Losasso, head of the Evanston-Wilmette Golf Course, violated bylaws and seized power to conduct business dealings.
Two directors of the Evanston-Wilmette Golf Course Association have filed a lawsuit against board president John Losasso and the nonprofit association that runs the golf course, alleging that Losasso ignored the association’s bylaws, breached his fiduciary duties and acted nearly unilaterally in various closed-door business dealings. The lawsuit was filed by Johns C. Richards and Gerald T. Murphy earlier this month in the Circuit Court of Cook County. Some of the suit’s most egregious claims accuse Losasso of partaking in a “pattern of self-dealing,” including conducting secret meetings with Northwestern University in an attempt to sell, lease or transfer portions of the golf course property, and awarding a $19,000 no-bid contract for the …

The change will help preserve two prairie-style structures in Wilmette.
Wilmette village trustees approved variations for a lot on Isabella Street that will help preserve historic structures by former associates of Frank Lloyd Wright. “For anybody who thinks this is not the right thing to do regarding the lot separation, the zoning board got it absolutely right,” said Trustee Ted McKenna during Tuesday’s board meeting. “I applaud everybody for trying to preserve some homes — some historic homes.” The house on 1318 Isabella St. was designated a “significant” structure by the Wilmette Historical and Architectural Survey because it was designed in 1928 by John Van Bergen, who worked in Frank Lloyd Wright’s studio. On 1320 Isabella St. sits a structure designed by Rudolph Schindler, who ran Wright’s office, …

When the “L” came to Wilmette, 100 years ago, it arrived in a way that nobody in town had anticipated. In 1908, a north side train line from downtown Chicago to Evanston was created, with plans to extend it to Wilmette a few years later. The proposed extension was opposed by Wilmette Village Board of Trustees, who believed a cheap train from Chicago would bring in Sunday picnickers and other disreputable sorts of people. In response, “L” service to Wilmette stole into town in the dead of night on April Fool’s Day, 1912. After many months of unproductive wrangling with the Village of Wilmette, “L” officials decided that they were through with negotiations. Without permission, workmen extended the track and built a 40-foot platform and …
