Police warn to be cautious of phony phone calls for help.
Two Kenilworth seniors were victimized phone scams between Feb. 2 and 4, wiring more than $10,000 to help people they believed were their friends or family members. The Kenilworth police department issued a warning about the “Grandparents Scam,” a common scheme detailed on Western Union’s Consumer Protection guide. Callers target seniors, often impersonating their grandchild and asking the senior to wire thousands of dollars to help deal with an emergency like an arrest or accident.

David Miller. “When you start pulling at the heartstrings, they’re very vulnerable. People should …

The communities’ police chiefs and a private consultant recommended the move.
The villages of Kenilworth, Winnetka and Northfield are considering combining their police departments’ emergency dispatch services in order to save money on operating expenses and future technological upgrades. The move would take about $1.2 million to set up, but save approximately $158,331 each year, according to Elert & Associates Technology Consultants. That would be a 10 percent reduction in costs for the three departments, mostly coming from reduced labor costs. The three communities began discussing consolidating dispatch services in 2009. In 2011 their respective staffs agreed to hire Elert & Associates to analyze their findings and make a recommendation. Elert Senior Vice President Tom Pavek attended meetings in all three …

More than 700 people were injured and 15 were killed in car accidents last Thanksgiving season.

Those rates go down at night, which is also the time when the highest percentage of motorists die in alcohol-related crashes. During the 2010 Thanksgiving holiday, 15 people died in …
