Breathe Deep event exceeded hopes
Deerfield High School was a Field of Dreams on May 6 for Breathe Deep Deerfield. We planned it – and our community came. They came in droves, just like in the movies. We expected 500-600 participants and 1,300 people shared the morning with us. We …
Letter: Thanks to Deerfield Police Department
I want the community to know of a wonderful experience I had with the Deerfield Police Department. I needed to make sure a new car seat base was installed properly for my 2-month old grandson arriving the next day from California. The Deerfield police understood …
Letter: Chickens, chickens, everywhere
I am not worried about rich people keeping chickens in luxury conditions. I am concerned about people who might want to hold cockfights in a backyard near mine. I am concerned about the neighbors who already tried to keep a chicken in a little cage …
Letter: A question for the community
People all over Deerfield are talking about why businesses and restaurants don’t want to make our community their home. As I read this week’s issue of the Deerfield Review, I found the answer. Your article on the residents’ displeasure with Briarwood County Club putting in …
Letter: Stealing from the American Legion? What next?
Several decorative items of lawn furniture have been stolen from the front of the American Legion Post building in Deerfield. These include a cast cement lawn bench, a wrought metal decorative lawn table and a matching pair of wrought metal chairs and a cast concrete …
Letter: Where have District 113’s survey results gone?
Whatever became of the results from District 113’s facility/technology survey? District 113 has only released a broad overview of results that address about 12 questions — a paltry sum. The tiny morsels of data released so far flies in the face of District 113’s stated …
Letter: Post prom party thank you
Ever feel as if your teen has a split personality – one minute sophisticated young adult, the next minute spirited child? That transformation played out in real time around midnight on Saturday, April 21, as more than 400 Deerfield High School students entered the Sachs …
Letter: Are you really a Democrat?
This letter is in response to Jeffrey Fireman’s letter of March 29: “Stop the Phone Calls.” In his letter, Dr. Fireman claims to be a lifelong Democrat who did not vote for Brad Schneider because he got a “plethora of campaign calls” on behalf of Schneider. …
Letter: Combating the emerald ash borer
It is commendable that the Village of Deerfield is taking steps to combat the threat of the emerald ash borer, as reported in the Deerfield Review last week. However, the community needs to confront the problem with much greater urgency. Once the emerald ash borer …
Letter: Defend Israel and its people
I have read both of the responses printed concerning the Carlos Santana concert scheduled at Ravinia. Although I am sure that these articles will not prevent that concert from taking place, it is important that we focus on the bigger issue. The Jewish population needs …
The great icon Carlos Santana abruptly cancels a performance in Israel and then is scheduled to appear at Ravinia. There is something radically wrong with this. Does Ravinia actually support this evil propaganda machine made up of hateful, murderous, blood thirsty terrorist-loving group of monsters, …
Letter: Phone calls feel like harassment
Unlike Dr. Fireman, I didn’t get more than two or three calls from Schneider’s people, but I felt harassed by the excessive phone calls from Sheyman’s people. Sometimes I got three or four phone calls supporting Sheyman in a two-hour period and it went on …
Letter: Stop the phone calls
Bravo to Jeffrey E. Fireman, M.D. for speaking out about those incessant phone calls to vote for Brad Schneider. I, too, at one point said I wouldn’t vote for him either unless they stopped. Elaine Dolgin Deerfield …
Letter: Stop the phone calls
I wish to congratulate Brad Schneider on his victory in the 10th Congressional District Democratic Primary in March. I am a lifelong Democrat, but I did not vote for him. In fact, I voted against him. The reason for doing so was quite simple. My …
Letter: Boycott Carlos Santana
As a Ravinia Festival supporter for many years, I feel that the appearance of Carlos Santana should be cancelled. This hypocrite of a man agreed to perform in Israel this spring and then abruptly backed out. He fell under the evil spell of the “Boycott …
