Deerfield police chief cautions citizens to watch out for their neighbors’ homes during spring break.
With the April 9 election less than two weeks away in Highland Park and Deerfield, more and more advertising is being left at people’s doors. Though this may not be a normal cause for alarm, a larger than usual number of people are out of town because of spring break increasing the circumstances where a burglary could occur. In Deerfield, this happened around at Christmas time. Earlier: Police Report 7 Christmas Car Burglaries The increased advertising being left at homes prompted Deerfield Police Chief John Sliozis to suggest people be more vigilant than usual for themselves and their neighbors.

For one high school senior, it is a time for family while others spend time with friends. One group is building houses in Costa Rica.
While the term “Senior Spring Break” makes me think about kids partying and drinking on the beaches of Mexico, I feel that many seniors this year have taken a different approach to the last break of their high school careers.

This week is supposed to be special. It’s something parents and students believe is worked for and earned. In previous years, senior spring break has been groups of friends going to Mexico with a few parents. During these weeks, the beaches of places like Puerto Vallarta and Cancún are filled with families and college students from all over, but a great deal of high school seniors from the north shore as well. Plenty of people …
