Dist. 70 wants to fill school board position
Daily Herald report
Jul 14, 2011 11:57 PM - Candidates are sought to fill a two-year term vacancy on the Libertyville Elementary District 70 school board that will be created as Joy Schwerman steps down. Schwerman has served on the board for 18 years but decided to avoid a conflict of interest when the district hires her son-in-law, Lorenzo Cervantes as the first dean of students for Highland Middle School. While Schwerman could legally remain on the board, she would need to refrain from voting on any issues involving Cervantes. Candidates must be U.S. citizens at least 18 years old, residents of Illinois and District 70 for at least one year, registered voters and may not be school board members for other districts, or school treasurers. Interested candidates can pick up an application at the Education Resource Center, 1381 W. Lake St., Libertyville, and can call the ERC with questions at (847) 362-9695. They are asked to complete the application and return it with a current resume to the ERC by 4 p.m. on Aug. 1. Interviews will begin in early August and a new member is expected to be appointed in time for the Aug. 22 meeting.
Baker's defense team delays decions
Daily Herald report
Jul 14, 2011 11:56 PM - Defense attorneys for the man accused of the 2010 murder of a woman in her Vernon Hills home said Thursday they have not decided a position on their client's mental fitness. Daniel Baker, 21, of Deerfield, was found mentally fit to stand trial for the murder of Marina Aksman, 50, by a court-appointed psychologist on May 14. Defense attorneys Edward Genson of Chicago and Michael Nerheim of Waukegan said Thursday the psychiatrist they hired to evaluate Baker needs more time before he can render an opinion. Lake County Circuit Judge Fred Foreman told them to return to court Aug. 2 to announce if they want to challenge the finding. Police said Baker beat Aksman to death with a baseball bat on April 1 of last year because he was upset by the woman's efforts to end his relationship with her daughter, Kristina. Baker is held without bond in the Lake County jail. He faces up to life in prison if convicted of the murder.
