I recall an adult male timekeeper, possibly employed by the Winnetka Hockey Club or it's equivalent at the time. I remember the man's nickname was "One Minute", a reference to one of his job's duties was to announce when there was one minute remaining in the period over the PA.<br />To my recollection it was about 1978-1979 and myself and five or six other 14-15 year old guys were invited went to the timekeeper's apartment to "party" one evening and, with our six packs of beer, marijuana and cigarettes went to this man's apartment in East Rogers Park on or very near the Loyola campus and partied there. I recall a couple of boys stating that "One Minute" had made sexual advances towards them in the bedroom and we all were pretty creeped out and all left. <br /><br />We all have to remain vigilant, wherever we live, to safeguard our kids from these predators. Certainly, Bricker and "One Minute" weren't the first or last of their kind in Winnetka.Joe https://www.blogger.com/profile/13751775906166651611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516392886578064543.post-90301321448089666952014-11-23T19:09:27.382-06:002014-11-23T19:09:27.382-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mrs. Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16582230399160973531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516392886578064543.post-61398867577468172962014-11-23T19:09:26.297-06:002014-11-23T19:09:26.297-06:00I watched the Herv the Perv compilation and had to...I watched the Herv the Perv compilation and had to admire how art imitates life.

Not to make light of the situation but to underline the absurdity and hypocrisy of a town that ultimately chose to hush hush the rumors lest the outsiders sully the town name. Disgraceful.

The school district hired an attorney. The Winnetka Police chief was informed. A school district administrator wrote in a memo:<br />"I have observed conduct and behavior displayed by Bill Bricker on the Hubbard Woods playground during the last four years which I have judged to be childish, lacking in judgment, and disturbing to children. In light of recent testimony, this conduct on Mr. Bricker's part takes on a more sinister implication."<br />http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/winnetka-northfield-glencoe/ct-bill-bricker-sex-abuse-claims-met-20141017-story.html#page=1 <br />http://winnetka.suntimes.com/2014/10/17/william-bricker-winnetka-teacher-sex-abuse/ <br /><br />Bricker lost his after-school sports program at Skokie Jr. High, but remained the gym teacher at Hubbard Woods until 1985.<br /><br />According to the article the police, the school district, and Teton Valley Ranch Camp were all informed in May 1968. But aside from being removed from the junior high sports program, nothing happened to Bricker at that time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02753739198386729717noreply@blogger.com
