The following police-related items appeared on area Patches this week. When an arrest is mentioned it should not be considered a conviction.

As our armed forces come home from the Middle East, the local Veterans Affairs benefits office is being stretched.
Our veterans are now facing a new enemy at home--long wait times for their disability claims. The waiting times started increasing in 2010 when U.S. troops were withdrawn from Iraq causing a dramatic uptick in first-time filers, according to the Center for Investigative Reporting. The data found that in most regional VA offices, not only did waiting times increase, but they vary dramatically with location: about a year and five months in Baltimore, Maryland compared to four months in Fargo, North Dakota. The national average now stands at about eleven months, which is dramatically higher than in 2009 when it was four months. Data for the Chicago VA Regional Office shows that as of May 13, 2013, veterans waited an average of 501 days (more …

Ari Epstein will head to Israel in July to compete in the 19th World Maccabiah Games. Until then, he's training and seeking donations to achieve his goals.
When Ari Epstein travels to Israel to compete in a triathlon this summer, he won’t only represent the United States. The Long Grove resident said he’ll also represent his community, where he got his start in athletics. Epstein, 24, said swimming is his strong suit, but his times, combined with his cycling and running abilities collectively earned him a spot on Team USA in the 19th World Maccabiah Games, an international competition for Jewish athletes. Epstein joined Stevenson High School’s swim team as a sophomore, simply looking for a way to stay in shape a year after determining that football wasn’t the best fit for him. “I was really happy to be a swimmer at Stevenson. That was a really big part of this,” he said. He planned to …
