The project will use wooden coolers made out ofpine. Each "treasure chest" has four wooden legu, rising to 30 inches, with the top measuring 18.5 inches across and 27 inches wide. Each one weighs approximately 35 pounds. According to the artist application form, which is available on the chamber's officia! website, the artists will be able to paint, sculpt and otherwise "transform" the object. However, the chest can't be modi- fled to the point where it can't function as a cooler - so the modifications can't block the inside drain.

Selma Lamkin may have been the student, but that didn't stop her from teaching the instructor a mighty valuable lesson: Never underestimate her. It's a familiar lesson for anyone and everyone who have crossed paths with Lamkin, now nearing age 90. Auditing a criminal law class, the student proved to be so sharp that the teacher mentioned she should be in law school. f It was most likely a flippant, tongue-in- cheek comment since Lanikin was already in her 70s. The teacher said he'd even find her a scholarship if she passed the entry exam. Fast forward: Lamkin graduated law school at age 74. "Told woman at the mailbox, 'Look at this - I passed the bar!" she writes in her recently-released self-published memoirs. "She said, 'I pass it almost every day on my way to work." This funny exchange is another example of people sometimes having a hard time wrapping their minds around Lamkin's defiance ofthe odds. Her memoirs are filled with random, anecdotal recollections of her difficult and challenging but rich and varied life, all of which is perfectly summed up on the last page. 'q try to overcome obstacles," she writes. "I work really hard at it. I advocate for myself."

The downtown Skokie space that was once occupied by 7th Heaven Cafe is now home to a different kind of a community experience. Aw Yeah Games sells board games, card games, role-playing games, gaming miniatures and anything else a group of people can play at a table. It also holds game nights, when game enthusiasts cari come and play together. The store is the spin-off of Aw Yeah Comics, a comic store that has been in downtown Skokie since March 2012. Aw Yeah Comics co-owners Marc Hammond, Art Baltazai and Franco Aureliani co-own the store with Randy Field, who handles most ofthe day-to-day operations. The store opened Jan. 24, and it will have the grand opening on March 14, to coincide with Aw Yeah Comics' three-year anniversary For now, Field said that Aw Yeah Games is focusing on growing its customer base, expanding inventory and getting more events up and running. Field feels that the store will have something for anyone that comes through the door - and he will be happy to help the customers find it. Since it opened, Aw Yeah Comics left a IGOR STUDENKOV/PIONEER PRESS PHOTOS mark on downtown Skokie.

Maclean, Barbara J. Rart,araLMacLean nee Betty ÇTyksinski). Age 79 of Park Ridge, passed away February 4, 2015. Born on September 2, 1935 in Oak Park, IL. to Aimee MacLean Betty and James Betty. Graduate of Oak Park River Forest high school and Northwestern University with a degree in Uistory. Barbara's life was defined by her devotion to causes of equality and justice. She was a staunch guardian of women, which took her to the front lines of the femi- nEst movement. in a time when women had little or no voice, she stood up and yelled. She enjoyed a healthy debate and never shied away from the opportunity to defend the underdog. Always politically active,she spoke out against prejudices of any kind. She never wavered from her philosophies. Her opinions were never left silent and her belief system and values left a positive impression on many of the lives she touched. Her home was always open and welcoming to all. Barbara was a mover and a shaker, and she left her mark on this earth. Books were her first love, particularly Tellyour those pertaining to history and mystery. Her love of sports moved well beyond her eternally optimistic (and irrational) devotion to the Cubs. As a player and a coach, she became an integral figure in the expan- slon and development of Woman's rugby in the mid-Atlantic region, An avid supporter of arts, literature and music, her home was alive with culture as well as the aroma of her Polish Hamburgers. Barbara was a self-taught artisan ami loved knitting, quilting and needlework. Her gardens were a testimony to nature and the time she spent in them was her sanctuary. Her smile was infectious. Her generosity was unbounded. Her children and grandchildren embody her spirit and passions. She is cherished and remembered by her many lifelong friends. We will miss her laughter, her intelligence and her love of family. Barbara was the vibrant mother of Barbara (Doug Sohn) Tyksinski, Michael (Kelsey Marsh) Tyksinski, Loved One's Susan Tyksinski, Jamle (Carol Fratrik) Tyksïnskl and the late Catherine Tyksinski; devoted grandmother of Derrick Fisher, Shane Tyksinski, Dt lion Tyksinski, Keaton Fisher, Taylor Fisher, Aidan Tyksinski, Caleb Tykslnskl, Cooper Tyksinski, Georgia Tyksinski and Hazel Tyksinski; dear sister of Richard (Carol) Betty. A celebration of Barbaras life is planned for the spring. Memorial's to a charity of your choice are appreciated. Arrangements entrusted to Ryan-Parke-Funeral Home, www.ryan-parke.com.

Several players from both teams jumped for the rebound, but it was Notre Dame junior Anthony D'Avanzo - a springy 6-7 forward - who outjumped everybody and tipped the ball to one of his teammates. Dons coach Tom Les called a timeout with less than 15 seconds remaining and drew up an out-of-bounds play that resulted in junior forward Animar Becar get- ring fouled near the basket Becar drained the game-winning free throws.
