More than two years after lili- fois' concealed carry law was passed, activists continue to push for retailers - particularly grocers to post signs telling customers who are toting hidden weapons that they are not welcome. A small group of gun control advocates staged a demonstration at Highland Park's tree-lighting ceremony last yeai urng people to do their holiday shopping only at stores where concealed firearms are banned, while last week another small protest targeted the local Sunset Foods. Despite some successes for the advocates, many stores have re- sisted the campaign, and several retailers contacted by the Thbune declined even to discuss why they have chosen not to participate. Others in the business community say shopkeepers may be supportive of the concealed carry law, don't want to alienate customers who may be or they simply don't want to take a public stance on such a controversial subject The recent protests were part of JOSE M.

The Wolfpack's game-tying goal made things dire for Notre Dame, which went on to win 3-2 in Chicago. The Dons were in a I must-win situation. The game would have gone to overtime if St. Ignatius and Notre Dame were tied at the end of regulation. The Wolfpack, as a result, would have earned a point and clinched sixth place in the Chicago Catholic Hockey League. Notre Dame would have finished seventh in the standings. The difference between sixth and seventh might seem inconsequential, but in the Kennedy Cup seed- / ings, it's the difference between facing Benet - one of the best teams in the state - and Fenwick in the CCHL's postseason tournament The Dons wanted to play Fenwick, which is why they pulled junior goalie Jimmie Hall at the end of regulation of a tie game.
