Tradition marks Winnetka’s 

annual Fourth celebration 

Libby Elliott 

Freelance Reporter 

Winnetka delivered another 

patriotic July 4th 

celebration on Monday as 

residents took to the streets 

to pay tribute to America. 

A full day of activities, 

including an annual parade 

down Elm Street and 

races on the Village Green, 

capped off by an evening 

of games, music and fireworks 

on Duke Childs 

Field, mark the Winnetka 

Park District’s busiest and 

biggest event of the year. 

“The Fourth of July in 

Winnetka is all about tradition,” 

park district recreation 

supervisor Toby Ross 

said. “We’ve been doing it 

year in and year out.” 

An estimated 5,000 people 

participate in Winnetka’s 

annual Fourth of July 

festivities. For many longtime 

residents, this special 

day has been a fixed and 

warmly welcomed facet of 

village life for decades. 

Barbara and Dick Warnecke 

have been setting 

up their special viewing 

spot on the corner of Elm 

and Maple streets each 

Fourth of July for the past 

four decades. After raising 

their son and daughter 

in Winnetka, the Warneckes 

fondly recall years 

of bringing their seven 

grandchildren to the village 

parade and fireworks. 

Although the eldest is 

now fully grown and stationed 

in Florida with the 

Air Force, the Warnecke 

family made many memories 

on the Village Green. 

“I have photographs from 

six consecutive years of my 

grandsons running in the 

foot races,” Barbara said. 

Winnetka Boy Scout Troops 18 and 20 lead the 

Children’s Flag Parade on Monday, July 4, in Winnetka.

The Winnetka Village Council waves to the crowd. 

A few feet away, Susan 

and Christopher Mundy 

were entertaining 50 

guests with donuts, mimosas 

and Bloody Marys in 

front of their Elm Street 

townhome. 

“Six years ago, on our 

first July 4th in this house, 

we held a small parade 

party,” Susan said. “It was 

so much fun we decided to 

make it a tradition.” 

Old-fashioned nostalgia 

brought Sally Leonard and 

Carter Howard out to Elm 

Street. As a child, 76-yearold 

Leonard always 

marched in the parade with 

Girl Scout Troop 18 and 

recalls winning first place 

in the foot races at age 3. 

“My dad started me 

off by saying ‘Run to 

Mommy,’” Leonard said. 

“While all the other kids 

were crying and running 

in different directions, I 

won.” 

Both Leonard and Howard 

agree that Winnetka’s 

parade and fireworks have 

changed very little since 

their childhood, a fact that 

suits them just fine. 

“I can’t wait to watch 

the 3-year-olds run this 

year,” Leonard joked. 

As a familiar succession 

of local organizations, 

bands, businesses 

and sports teams marched

Maggie 

Nolan-Forgash Family, of Winnetka 

Meet Maggie Nolan-Forgash-Kim-Feldsott, of the 

Nolan-Forgash family, in Winnetka. What she lacks 

in name brevity (she’s had quite a few homes!), 

Maggie (for short) makes up for in raw athleticism, 

freakish metabolism and pure love of the game. 

Originally born into a fighting ring, “Young Mags” 

was rescued in Evans Mills, New York, and sent to 

a local pound, waiting with a smile and a red-hot 

desire to find a home. As months passed and hope 

dwindled, Maggie refused to let her spirits down, 

and was adopted one fine fall day by Ryan Neal, a 

spunky and spontaneous military vet with one small 

dog at home and ambitions for another. Maggie’s 

new home would remain just that for only a few 

short months as Neal was called to return to duty 

in South Korea. Unable to keep the dog, she was 

passed to a new home via Craigslist. Unwavered, 

the Notorious M.A.G. took immediate delight in 

her new home in Hamilton, New York. However, 

her stay here was short lived as well as she soon 

took off on a new journey and a third home in just 

a matter of months, finally settling for good in The 

Paoli House, of Winnetka, currently the mainstay of 

the Nolan-Forgash family. In her free time, Maggie 

enjoys playing with Freddie, the neighborhood 

golden retriever. She also has become close friends 

with Tootsie Fauntleroy. Quite the slobberer, Maggie 

also fancies a nice game of fetch or a good squirrelchasing 

session.

faces also emerged. A 

marching band from Austin, 

Texas, brought added 

dynamism to this year’s 

parade, as did a troop of 

lively Bolivian dancers. 

As the parade and events 

drew to a close and the 

crowd dispersed, attention 

then turned to preparations 

for the main event of 

the day: Winnetka’s spectacular 

annual fireworks 

show, creatively set to music,

nightfall. 

“Winnetka’s fireworks 

are the best on the North

West Nile virus positive mosquitoes reported in Winnetka 

Submitted by North Shore

The North Shore Mosquito 

Abatement District 

found the first West Nile 

virus positive mosquitoes 

to occur in its traps in Winnetka 

this year.

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER 

‘Sober living residence’ 

proposed for Sunset Ridge 

Road 

A clinical social worker 

is seeking to turn a Sunset 

Ridge Road property into 

a sober living facility. 

The proposal, brought 

by Stephanie Zwilling 

before the Village 

Board on June 28, seeks 

zoning relief to allow 

a transitional services 

facility at 1620 Sunset 

Ridge Road. The 2.36- 

acre facility would 

house men ages 18-28 

who would have to meet 

certain requirements for 

continued residency. 

Those include a 

minimum of 30 hours 

dedicated to outside 

work, volunteerism or 

education, with five hours 

dedicated to working on 

the property. Zwilling said 

the residents’ stay would 

collected on June 24, from 

traps in Winnetka and 

Morton Grove, tested positive 

for West Nile virus in 

the district’s lab on Tuesday, 

June 28. 

This year, West Nile 

virus positive batches of 

mosquitoes have also been 

found in traps located 

in Evanston, Glenview, 

extend anywhere between 

three and six months. 

She believes this facility 

will serve as a way to successfully 

transition patients 

into the community that 

they already call home. 

“This is a transitional 

living facility, so this 

isn’t a treatment facility,” 

Zwilling said. “The 

goal is for residents to be 

putting together an independent 

life and be able 

to transition into the community. 

The goal is that 

they will get jobs in the 

community.” 

The facility can house 

about six residents, according 

to Village staff, 

but Zwilling wants it to 

house 10-15 residents 

alongside a minimum of 

three staff members within 

the home in order to be 

financially viable and to 

ensure the provision of 

clinical and basic services 

to the residents.

THE GLENVIEW LANTERN 

D225 reviews new 

district-wide homework 

policies 

The District 225 Board 

of Education introduced 

new policies detailing 

homework protocol at its 

June 17 meeting. 

The board policy, which 

outlines the goals and 

terms of homework assignments 

through four 

concise guidelines, states 

that “Homework is used 

to introduce, reinforce, 

or apply concepts, principles, 

and skills; homework 

is not assigned for 

disciplinary purposes; the 

frequency, length, and 

rigor of homework are determined 

by the teacher’s 

professional judgment 

in collaboration with the

feeding times during the 

hours around dawn and 

dusk. Residents are urged 

to examine their property 

and eliminate any items 

that can hold water, particularly 

smaller items that 

may be easily overlooked. 

If it can hold water, it can 

breed mosquitoes. 

teacher’s department supervisor; 

and the Superintendent 

or designee will 

work with teachers and 

administrators across the 

district to develop a set 

of principles for effective 

homework practices that 

are based on current research 

and best practices.” 

Superintendent Mike 

Riggle explained that the 

objective was to create a 

blueprint of balance and 

quality in regard to students’ 

homework. 

“Everyone’s going to be 

looking for that point of 

saying, ‘how do we find 

balance,’” Riggle said. 

“How do you do enough 

homework so that you’re 

covering the concepts 

well and helping students 

engage in the learning, 

versus homework that 

doesn’t seem to be doing 

that: it’s just periphery – 

busy work.” 

Specifically, the district 

analyzed homework rigor, 

frequency, volume and 

good practices. 

“Our kids don’t mind 

doing homework,” Board 

Secretary Roseanne Williamson 

said. “They just 

want it to be meaningful 

and high quality.”

Jeni Siegel, Editorial Intern 

On Saturday, July 9, 

homeless puppies, dogs, 

kittens and cats will be 

lining the storefronts of 

downtown Winnetka, as 

they wait to be adopted 

during PAWS Chicago’s 

Angels with Tails event. 

For this event, PAWS 

Chicago, the city’s largest 

No Kill humane organization, 

is pairing with 

Good as Golden Retriever 

Rescue, Evanston Animal 

Shelter, Greater Chicago 

Cavalier Rescue and 

Heartland Animal Shelter 

to add even more adoptable 

pets to the 50 animals 

PAWS Chicago will be 

bringing. These pets will 

be in the shops of the 36 

participating merchants 

from 12-4 p.m. along Elm 

Street, Lincoln Avenue 

and Chestnut Street. 

“Our goal is to find happy 

homes for any of the 

animals we bring or any 

of the animals the other 

shelters are bringing,” Julie 

Bradbury Miller, the 

Angels with Tails Winnetka 

Community Ambassador, 

said. 

While this is the first 

Angels with Tails event in 

Winnetka since the opening 

of the PAWS Chicago 

satellite adoption centers 

in Highland Park and 

Lake Forest, Winnetka 

has always been an integral 

part of the PAWS organization. 

“PAWS is deeply rooted 

in the Winnetka community. 

We have many 

adopters and supporters in 

this community that have 

been with PAWS Chicago 

since our beginnings,” 

Sarah McDonald, one of 

the event’s coordinators, 

said. 

After focusing their 

efforts on the adoption 

centers for two years, the 

group is excited to bring 

the event to Winnetka, 

where they can spread 

their message throughout 

the rest of the North Shore 

thanks to the help of their 

sponsors: the Winnetka 

Animal Hospital, Merrick 

Pet Care and Carson’s. 

The Angels with Tails 

event started in 1998 

along the Gold Coast as 

Chicago’s first large scale 

adoption event, and has 

been repeated every year 

following. This annual 

event has since allowed 

PAWS Chicago to continue 

bringing No Kill solutions 

forward and contributed 

to the 80 percent decrease 

in the number of pets 

euthanized in the area. As 

the Angels with Tails event 

has expanded to Winnetka, 

PAWS Chicago and the 

other participating shelters 

and rescue organizations 

can seek out even more 

homes for animals in need. 

“We want to expand 

our No Kill footprint in 

the North Shore and bring 

progressive sheltering 

practices to a new community 

of adopters. We 

are hoping the Winnetka 

community will come out 

and show their support,” 

McDonald said.

Winnetkan named president of Gift of Adoption national board 

Alan P. Henry 


Winnetka resident Meg 

Gibson Revord has recently 

been named president 

of the National Board of 

the Gift of Adoption, a national 

charitable organization 

that provides financial 

assistance to complete both 

domestic and international 

adoptions. 

Gift of Adoption works 

to ensure that finances 

don’t stand in the way of 

families stepping forward 

to adopt by offering grants 

of up to $7,500 to families, 

regardless of race, religion, 

age or marital status. 

Revord, whose 17-yearold 

daughter was adopted, 

was introduced to Gift of 

Adoption 12 years ago 

through a fundraising 

event. 

“I realized there are so 

many parents who want to 

adopt but there is this financial 

barrier and that there 

was no other organization, 

on a national level, trying 

to make adoptions a charitable 

cause,” Revord said. 

That is when she got involved, 

moving up through 

the state chapter and then 

onto the national board, 

where she will continue to 

focus on growing the organization. 

“Our goal is to have a 

truly national charity where 

people think of adoption as 

a high priority place to put 

their charitable dollars,” 

she said. 

Throughout the past 10 

years, Gift of Adoption 

has awarded $5 million in 

adoption assistance grants 

to unite more than 1,700 

children with families 

across the U.S. The organization 

prioritizes grants 

for those adopting the most 

vulnerable children facing 

what is likely their last or 

only chance at adoption. 

This includes families who 

are working to unite or 

keep siblings together and 

those adopting children 

with critical medical conditions 

or kids aging out of 

orphanages. 

Revord cited research 

showing that 40 percent of 

Americans have seriously 

considered adoption, but 

that only one percent complete 

the process, citing as a 

primary barrier the upfront 

costs of adoption that average 

$25,000. 

“If you look at what happens 

to a child who isn’t 

adopted versus a child who 

is adopted — the education 

rate, the drug addiction, the 

crime rate — to complete 

an adoption means that a 

child that would not otherwise 

have a home or a long 

term permanent family is a 

binary outcome,” Revord 

said. 

“It only costs society 

$25,000 to make sure that 

child has a family. It is 

the highest impact charitable 

dollars that you can 

spend.” 

Gift of Adoption 

receives more than 50 

requests for financial 

assistance each month. 

On average, 20 of those 

meet application criteria, 

which include financial 

need. The organization 

has the resources to fund 

eight of the qualified 

request each month.Those 

eligible to apply for grants 

include any U.S. citizen 

adopting from anywhere 

in the world who has an 

approved home study 

from a COA accredited 

agency. Roughly half 

of the adoption grants 

currently go to families 

adopting children from 

outside the country. 

Revord said the board’s 

new goal is to expand the 

number of adoption grants 

to 500 per year within five 

years. 

Revord is a partner in the 

law firm of Kirkland & Ellis 

LLP, concentrating her 

practice on mergers and 

acquisitions, private equity, 

Book collection underway at township office 

private fund formations and 

other complex transactions. 

She earned her bachelor of 

arts from the University of 

Michigan (1984) majoring 

in economics and English, 

and her J.D. from Northwestern 

(1987). 

She is a Foundation 

Board member of the Rehabilitation 

Institute of Chicago 

and on the Board of 

Trustees of the Kenilworth 

Union Church. 

She and her husband 

Mike have been married 

for almost 25 years and 

have two children, Michael 

and Kate. 

Gift of Adoption was 

founded in 1996 by 

adoptive parents Gene and 

Lucy Wyka of Grafton, 

Wis. They converted from 

a private family foundation 

to a public charity in 2001.

missed the playoffs. That year, Derek broke 

from his family and officially became a Sox

(although, he hasn’t swayed his daughter).

New Regina president brings ‘progressive approach’ to school 

Pattara takes over 

for Sister Mary 

Margaret Pachucki 

Eric DeGrechie 

Contributing Editor 

Elizabeth Pattara received 

a phone call in February 

she wasn’t expecting. 

The Rev. Peter Wojcik, 

a priest at Pattara’s place 

of worship, St. Clement’s 

Church in Chicago, and a 

longtime friend, told her 

of a job opening at Regina 

Dominican High School in 

Wilmette. Though she had 

never been a school president 

before, Pattara listened 

to Wojcik’s pitch about the 

position and why he thought 

she would be a good fit. 

“The more he talked 

to me, the more excited 

I got,” said Pattara, who 

met Wojcik when he was a 

student at her alma mater, 

Northwestern University’s 

Kellogg School of 

Management. “This 

school obviously has a 

phenomenal track record.” 

Soon thereafter, Pattara 

applied for the job and the 

school’s board of directors 

elected her president 

last month. Pattara, 39, 

is the school’s first non- 

Adrian Dominican Sisters 

president since it opened its 

doors in 1958. 

She succeeds Sister 

Mary Margaret Pachucki, 

who had served in the position 

at the all-girls Catholic 

High School since 2008. 

She joins the school after a 

15-year career in financial 

services, most recently as 

an executive at Vanguard, 

an American investment 

management company 

based in her home state of 

Pennsylvania. She spent 

part of her career training 

executives on health 

and wellness as an educator 

for the Chopra Center 

for Wellbeing. She is also 

the founder of Samadhi,

to helping businesses 

and individuals reach their 

greatest potential through 

meditation and mindfulness 

training. 

During a visit to Regina 

a few months back, Pattara 

was given a walking tour of 

the school by Pachucki. 

“I got a chance to see the 

school’s Leadership Institute 

and see what was happening; 

I was sold,” Pattara 

said. “Once you step foot 

in this school, you see the 

energy of the girls, you see 

the happiness and you get a 

taste of the academic rigor 

and results. This is something 

worth investing in.” 

Since her first day at Regina, 

June 1, Pattara has 

stayed busy in preparation 

of the upcoming academic 

school year by making it a 

priority to meet with students 

and parents. Regina 

Dominican prides itself on 

offering nearly 300 students 

each year opportunities 

in and out of the classroom 

to prepare for college. 

Pattara attended Regina’s 

graduation ceremony last 

month. She was especially 

impressed with the senior 

class garnering more than 

$9.7 million in scholarship 

offers. Before the next 

school year starts, she will 

oversee a number of ongoing 

renovation projects 

and begin to put her stamp 

on the school’s future. She 

admits that the Adrian Dominican 

Sisters have been 

very supportive of her as 

well as the staff and others 

associated with the school. 

“Regina Dominican is 

one of the country’s most 

respected all-female learning 

institutions,” Pattara 

said. “The faculty are some 

of the brightest minds in 

education, the student body 

is comprised of scores of 

energetic young women, 

and the school has one of 

the strongest networks of 

parents and alumni anyone 

could ask for.” 

Her colleagues believe 

Pattara’s goals sync up 

with the school’s holistic 

approach to academic and 

personal development for 

all students on the path to 

college. 

“It’s an exciting time to be 

at Regina Dominican. The 

Class of 2016 was accepted 

into some of the nation’s 

most prestigious universities 

including Duke, Johns 

Hopkins and Northwestern 

University,” said Thomas 

Jaconetty, chairman of the 

Regina Dominican board 

of directors. “Now, we’re 

looking ahead to the next 

school year and welcoming 

a progressive and proven 

leader who will help usher 

in the next exciting chapter 

in our long history.” 

Eagle Scout candidate improves Thornwood Prairie Preserve 

Jeni Siegel, Editorial Intern 

On the cold and rainy 

Saturday morning of April 

30, Eagle Scout candidate 

Adam Peterson carried 

out his service project at 

the Village of Wilmette’s 

Thornwood Prairie 

Preserve. 

The New Trier student 

and 40 other volunteers 

labeled seven trees with 

professional nameplates 

and extended the 

property’s wood chip trail 

by about 100 feet. Thanks 

to the huge turnout and 

range in ages of volunteers 

that showed up, the group 

was able to break into 

various work crews and 

complete the entire project 

in three hours. 

“One thing that made 

it very successful, and 

one thing that made me 

finish in half the time I 

planned for, was the fact 

that I had over 40 people 

show up to the project,” 

said Peterson, a rising 

senior at New Trier High 

School. “Not only did 

we have a lot of people 

working there, but they 

were working efficiently. 

One thing that was also 

very helpful was having 

a good combination of 

younger scouts and adults, 

and that adults were 

getting the younger scouts 

together and keeping them 

productive.” 

Peterson’s service 

project all started with 

a suggestion from his 

Troop 9 leader, Steve 

Bucksbaum, to work 

with Susan Gaines-Gatto, 

the co-founder of the 

Friends of Thornwood 

Park’s Prairie Preserve. 

Since December, Peterson 

and Gaines-Gatto 

collaborated on possible 

projects for the Prairie 

Preserve. Being the fifth 

Eagle Scout candidate 

to continue the trail that 

started in 2013, Peterson 

wanted to do something 

different from his fellow 

Scouts, and came up with 

the idea on his own. 

“Nothing like that has 

ever really been done 

in Wilmette before, and 

so I thought it would be 

cool. Mrs. Gatto was 

enthusiastic about it, 

Kevin Sorby, the village 

forester, was also pretty 

enthusiastic about it, 

so it worked out,” said 

Peterson on the project’s 

idea. 

Peterson continued 

to collaborate with both 

Gaines-Gatto and Sorby 

for the four months leading 

up to the project’s set 

execution date. With their 

help, Peterson was able 

to identify the common 

and botanical names of 

seven of the trail’s trees, 

and use donations made 

to the Thornwood Prairie 

Preserve to get profession 

labels created. Nameplate

Chalk Talk 

Catching up with Principal Paul Waechtler 

School: New Trier High 

School, Northfield Campus 

Years as principal: Five 

What inspired your career 

in education? 

My mom was an educator 

and my brother a math 

teacher, so I guess it has 

always been in my blood. 

However, it was really 

my grandfather, who was 

a physician, who encouraged 

me to go into education. 

I had worked as an 

engineer and completed 

my master’s degree in engineering, 

but I was not 

fulfilled by the work. He 

told me to select a profession 

I would be excited 

about on a daily basis and 

could see myself doing 

for decades. I had always 

enjoyed working with 

adolescents, and when I 

first started volunteering 

in a high school, I knew I 

had to make the transition 

to education. I have been 

happy with that decision 

ever since. 

What do you enjoy most 

about being a principal? 

Any time I get to work 

directly with students, I 

am reminded why I became 

an educator. I don’t 

get to do it too often, but 

it is rejuvenating. I also 

really enjoy talking to our 

great teachers and staff 

about teaching and learning. 

They are so motivated 

to provide students 

with a great educational 

experience and demonstrate 

such care that I am 

frequently reminded why 

I find it such a privilege to 

work at New Trier. 

What’s something 

memorable from the 

2015-16 school year? 

Watching our freshman 

student, Alex Singh, 

talk about his positive 

experience at New Trier 

on PBS. He commented 

on how he felt part of 

the community and 

was supported by his 

peers, teachers and the 

administration. Again, 

it makes me proud to be 

part of this educational 

community when we can 

provide a great experience 

to all students. 

Do you have special plans 

for summer break? 

what’s this? 

Chalk Talk is a weekly 

question-and-answer 

series featuring local 

school principals that 

will run this summer in 

The Winnetka Current. 

We are talking a family 

trip to Rocky Mountain 

National Park. We love to 

hike and explore the outdoors 

as a family, so we 

usually do a road trip each 

summer. I also love to fly 

fish, and my dad and I are 

going on a fishing trip to 

Florida. 

What are you looking 

forward to next school 

year? 

Welcoming another 

freshman class to 

Paul Waechtler, the principal of New Trier’s Northfield 

campus. Photo Submitted 

Northfield. Focusing on that 

transition and helping make 

it as successful as possible 

will be my first priority. I 

am also excited to see Phase 

1 of the construction project 

open at the Winnetka 

Campus and to be involved 

in the process of hiring a 

new superintendent. It is 

definitely a time of change 

for the district. 

“I know I forgot something. 

What was it?”

It is bittersweet that 

I bid you farewell in 

this editorial space 

this week. After three-plus 

years with 22nd Century 

Media, another adventure 

awaits me. 

Back in 2013, I started 

at The Winnetka Current 

and The Wilmette Beacon 

newspapers as the 

assistant editor. Fresh out 

of college, I was eager 

to find a job in a newsroom 

and make a name 

for myself as a reporter. 

I craved that adrenaline 

on deadline day and that 

always-busy feeling, 

similar to what I experienced 

at my college paper 

at Illinois State but to a 

more professional degree. 

Once I was hired that 

June, I got just that — 

and much more. 

From my time as assistant 

editor to now as 

an editor, I have made 

friendships and connections 

in this community 

that I will never lose sight 

of. 

Everyone was so 

welcoming and willing 

to share what makes 

this area so special. As 

a newcomer originally 

from Lisle, I was quick to 

learn it’s the people, the 

schools, the villages and 

everything in-between. 

With guidance from 

Winnetka and Northfield 

residents, I soon became 

accepted and trusted 

within this community. 

People quickly began to 

recognize my face out in 

the field and pitch their 

story ideas to me after 

I took the reins of this 

publication — and I thank 

you for that. It was easy 

to continue the success 

of The Current from 

your help and excellent 

coverage and story ideas. 

During my time as 

editor, I learned every 

resident here has a special 

story to share and I’m 

happy you let me be the 

voice of them. What 

Winnetka and Northfield 

residents are capable of is 

truly incredible. 

My favorite memories 

and stories were the 

ones I spent out and 

about meeting you, 

the residents, and 

interviewing and 

Quaking Aspen, Autumn 

Brilliance Serviceberry, 

American Cottonwood, 

and Swamp White Oak 

trees that line the trail, 

adding an interesting and 

educational element for 

trail users. 

Gaines-Gatto 

commented on the 

success of the project, 

calling it a “win-win 

taking photos. There 

was nothing better 

than spending a sunny 

afternoon driving 

around Winnetka and 

Northfield, hopping event 

to event and interview to 

interview. I loved making 

personal connections 

and returning to my desk 

at the end of the day to 

piece together what I 

learned from you. 

Therefore, after the 

time I’ve spent in your 

communities, Winnetka 

and Northfield, it’s truly 

hard to leave here. 

Thankfully, I’m not going 

too far: I am happy to 

announce I have accepted 

a position as the communications 

specialist at 

New Trier High School. 

I’m excited to start my 

new role and continue to 

foster these relationships 

in the community, specifically 

at the local school 

level now. 

Throughout the past 

years, I have appreciated 

your readership at The 

Winnetka Current and 

your positive feedback, 

and I hope to cross paths 

with you again. 

Till then, “Megan from 

The Current” is signing 

off officially this Friday, 

July 8. It’s been a pleasure 

serving you weekly, 

Winnetka and Northfield! 

situation for both the 

village and the neighbors, 

and a positive addition 

to Village of Wilmette 

property.” 

The project’s completion 

plays a necessary role 

in Peterson’s mission to 

become an official Eagle 

Scout, a goal of his since 

he started Boy Scouts in 

2010.

‘All about hands-on experiences’ 

NT students design, 

build electric guitars 

Libby Elliott, Freelance Reporter 

School may be out for the summer, 

but a group of 15 industrious 

New Trier students happily 

returned to the classroom in June 

to design and construct their own 

electric guitars. 

The three-week summer enrichment 

course taught by New Trier 

High School’s Applied Arts Department 

Chairman Jason Boumstein 

drew upon the varied disciplines 

of architecture, engineering 

and music. Each participant completed 

a functioning electric guitar 

and amplifier designed to reflect 

their inner rock star. 

“The applied arts are all about 

hands-on experiences and teaching 

through application,” Boumstein 

said. “Here, we promote 

the technical aspect of a project, 

as well as the creative side.” 

According to Boumstein, the 

class is popular among students 

seeking a “maker experience.” 

During each two-hour session, 

students worked at their own 

pace using Computer-aided 

Drafting (CAD) software, design 

technology, power tools and 

electronics to craft their instrument. 

By the last week of instruction, 

students were putting 

the finishing embellishments on 

their guitars and creating the circuitry 

for accompanying amplifiers. 

Jacey Birkenmeyer, a junior 

at New Trier, was drawn to 

guitar making through her love 

of classic rock. Birkenmeyer 

has studied acoustic and electric 

guitar for nine years at the 

North Shore Music Institute, 

Will Ervin solders into the back of his guitar during an enrichment 

course taught by New Trier High School’s Applied Arts Department 

Chairman Jason Boumstein. photos by Lois Bernstein/22nd Century Media 

but building her own instrument 

has added new depth to her 

musicianship. 

“It’s really interesting when 

you put the guitar and electronics 

together yourself, because 

you figure out how the sounds 

are made,” she said. 

Birkenmeyer chose to finish 

the surface of her natural wood 

guitar with elegant laser cut 

diamonds, but added a “pop of 

Ben Sklansky tightens the 

strings on his homemade guitar. 

color” to the back with a pair of 

bright purple hand painted wings. 

To demonstrate the instrument’s 

viability, Birkenmeyer

Joan Ungaro 

Joan Ungaro, 89, formerly 

of Winnetka, died peacefully 

June 8. Joan was born 

May 11, 1927 in Chicago and 

spent much of her life in Winnetka 

before moving to Santa 

Fe, N.M. and Salt Lake City, 

Utah. Joan was born with 

cerebral palsy and cognitive 

limitations, but despite her 

disabilities, she lived a full 

and contented life. Joan was 

always an active member of 

the extended family, and will 

be fondly remembered for 

her funny, infectious laughter 

and her excitement during 

the holidays (she delighted 

in wearing bunny ears on 

Easter). Joan was dedicated 

to making handicrafts, and 

family members treasure 

her handmade hooked rugs, 

placemats and tilework. Joan 

also had a steadfast perseverance 

that she applied to her 

exercise, endlessly kicking 

her way across the width of 

the pool in the shallow end or 

cheerfully riding her stationary 

bicycle (“all the way to 

New York,” she would say). 

Joan was devoted to and cared 

for her dogs (Licorice, Tina 

and numerous Boston Terriers 

named Blackie). She also 

had an enormous reservoir 

of patience, and would often 

sit and read books for hours, 

complete word puzzles, or 

work on math problems. In 

later life, as she moved into 

assisted living facilities, she 

loved to linger by the front 

door and nurse’s stations to 

watch life unfold there. Joan 

is survived by her sister Patricia 

Dodson; nieces Daryl Wilson 

(Wally), Karen Dodson, 

Dorothy (Dee) McLaughlin 

(Tom), Lindsey Dodson and 

Leslie Dodson; grandnieces 

and grandnephews Connery 

Wilson Obeng, Reuben Wilson, 

Ryan McLaughlin and 

Ainsley-Marie McLaughlin; 

and great-grandniece Amelle 

Obeng, along with many 

close cousins. 

Special thanks to her longterm 

companion, Alexis 

Abraham, and to Dr. Beth 

Hanlon and the staff at 

Brookdale Salt Lake City 

for their attentive and loving 

care. In lieu of flowers, 

the family invites friends and 

family to make donations that 

assist people with disabilities. 

Final services will be at Mt. 

Carmel Cemetery in Hillside 

at a later date. Condolences 

may be sent to the family care 

of Ungaro/Dodson, P.O. Box

effortlessly strummed out the opening 

lines of Led Zeppelin’s classic, “Stairway 

to Heaven.” 

“I’m not positive I’ll be making a living as a 

musician,” she said, “but for sure I’ll be doing 

it as a hobby for the rest of my life.” 

Incoming New Trier freshmen Austin Lyons, 

Luke Karabas and Liam Fagan, are already 

seasoned performers. The three bandmates 

play regular gigs covering Red Hot 

Chili Peppers and Guns N’ Roses tunes at The 

Rock House in Wilmette, owned by Luke’s 

father, Chris Karabas. Nevertheless, the boys 

were humbled by their first experience as musical 

artisans. 

“Building an instrument is a lot harder 

than you think,” Lyons said. “Understanding 

the work that goes into just one guitar 

helps you appreciate what you have in your 

hands.” 

Encouraged by their teacher, Boumstein, to 

be imaginative with their designs, some students 

chose whimsical, personalized shapes 

and colors for their guitars. 

Daniel Austin, another rising freshman, 

fashioned the body of his electric guitar in the 

shape of an artist’s palette, with the neck of 

the instrument carved to resemble a delicate, 

painterly brush. 

“The most challenging part of this project 

was sanding and getting all the knots out of 

the wood,” Austin said. 

No grades are awarded in this pass/ 

fail exploratory class, and instead of a final 

exam, the course culminates in a group 

jam session. With the students’ instruments 

completed and amplifiers plugged in, instructor 

Boumstein finally gets to sit back 

and listen. 

“I teach them the engineering,” he said, 

“and they teach me the music.”

Sensory garden receives 

gift from the Garden Guild 

Submitted by Hadley Institute 

For more than 60 years, 

Hadley Institute for the Blind 

and Visually Impaired has 

been the beneficiary of the 

Garden Guild Winnetka’s 

generosity. 

On June 8, the organization 

dedicated its latest gift, a 

pondless waterfall located in the 

tree-lined southeast corner of the 

garden. This lovely water feature 

is surrounded by shade-loving 

plants, which will naturalize 

including velvet–leafed heuchera 

villosa, variegated Solomon’s 

Seal and bright yellow celandine 

poppies. Also new are two 

delightful wind chimes donated 

by Regas Chefas and Kathleen 

Tennison-Chefas, of Gethsemane 

Garden Center. Nearly 20 

Guild members attended the 

waterfall dedication followed 

by a board meeting in the garden. 

John Eskandari, a 

horticulturalist, arborist and 

instructor at the Chicago Botanic 

Garden, who is now overseeing 

Hadley’s sensory garden, briefed 

attendees on recent added 

sensory features for fragrance, 

touch, sound as well as sight. 

Tom Weaver, another Chicago 

Botanic Garden horticulturalist 

was unable to attend, but is part 

of the improvement process to 

Hadley’s garden. Plants that are 

both fragrant and tactile include 

lavender, curry, creeping thyme, 

jasmine, velvet leafed Cuban 

oregano and the purple fragrantleafed 

herb perilla. More tactile 

plants include variegated 

dianella, with soft airy flowers, 

giant papyrus and yellow 

acorus with a delicate grassy 

edge. Orange lantana with its 

citrus-like fragrance and purple

Fresh, local ingredients set apart Bake 425 

Company’s success 

heats up with pizza 

slice option 

Megan Maginity, Editor 

Finding a healthy, local 

meal option is now as easy 

as pie — pizza pie. 

That’s because every 

ingredient at Bake 425, a 

company that originated in 

the North Shore, is either 

locally sourced, organic or 

small batch. 

“How we source 

our ingredients is what 

sets us apart,” said Bill 

Borneman, who owns five 

bake-at-home pizza shops 

spanning from Lake Forest 

to Evanston with his wife, 

Angela. “Everything has to 

qualify under one or more 

of those requirements.” 

The lack of farm-totable 

restaurants in the 

North Shore was the driving 

force behind opening 

the first Bake 425 location, 

the couple said. 

After selling Bill’s marketing 

company in Laguna 

Beach, Calif., where the 

two met, they moved to 

Lake Forest. Here, “it was 

difficult to find organic 

ingredients and food that 

was sourced locally,” Angela 

said. 

“It was more prevalent 

in general on the West 

Coast ... and we just were 

surprised that it wasn’t 

here,” she added. 

One thing led to another 

and the couple — who dub 

themselves “foodies” even 

though they dislike the 

term — opened up their 

Bake 425 flagship store in 

August 2014 in Highland 

Park. 

“My husband spun pizzas 

in college and we 

just thought ‘Hey, this is 

something we can do,’” 

Angela said. “It was built 

on a competitive model to 

HomeMade Pizza Company 

(take-and-bake pizza 

company that closed all its 

locations May 2014).” 

At Bake 425, customers 

can purchase artisanal 

pizzas — like margherita, 

braised short rib or sausage 

and caramelized onion 

pies, etc. — that they can 

take home and cook themselves. 

There’s also a buildyour-own 

pizza option that 

comes in cutie pie, medium 

and large sizes. 

While pizza is Bake 

425’s speciality, it also 

dabbles in salads. The 

stores offer grab-and-go 

greens, including caesar, 

cabo, cobb, farmstand, 

pear and blue cheese and 

sunshine salads in small 

and large sizes. 

The model and menu 

attracted business, and 

luckily for the Bornemans 

it was so busy they eventually 

expanded to Lake 

Forest, Winnetka, Glencoe 

and Evanston. 

After opening the new 

locations and laying the 

company’s foundation — 

or should I say, the crust 

— the Bornemans decided 

to add on to Bake 425 and 

offer a delivery service 

and hot slices. 

Therefore, the Lake Forest 

store, 268 Deerpath 

Road, was the first location 

to get an oven. Specifically, 

a high-heat hearth stone 

oven, Bill said, with a 

3-minute pizza cook time. 

“We were offering purely 

a take-and-bake model 

and the market had really 

asked us to cook them, as 

well,” Bill said. “One of 

the things that was challenging 

for us is when 

[customers] get a takeand-bake 

(pizza), we can’t 

control how they cook 

them at home. 

“By us cooking them, 

The margherita pizza ($13.95 medium, $15.95 large) is one of the take-and-bake artisanal options at Bake 425, a 

company with five locations in the North Shore. Photos Submitted

2-8 p.m. Monday- 

Thursday 

1-8 p.m. Friday-Sunday 

we can control the process 

all the way through 

to make sure the process is 

done right.” 

The oven has enabled 

the company to open earlier 

for the lunch crowd in 

Lake Forest. As of now, 

pizzagoers can indulge in 

hot cheese, pepperoni and 

veggie slices. 

I sampled the slices with 

a group of editors from 

the newsroom during our 

lunch hour two weeks 

ago. When we arrived 

at the Lake Forest store, 

we watched the dough 

get tossed, the pizza get 

topped and the pie come 

out minutes later sizzling 

from the oven. 

The sunshine salad ($4.95 small, $7.95 large) has arugula, roasted butternut squash, 

cherry tomatoes, shaved parmesan and pine nuts. 

Although it was midday, 

it was hard to just stop at 

one slice and not overfill 

ourselves. But, we went 

for more, and that’s OK, 

because the ingredients are 

guilt-free, Angela said. 

Our reaction, however, 

wasn’t unique to the Bornemans, 

they said. 

“People have been asking 

us to stay open longer,” 

Angela said in result of the 

offering of slices. “They 

are also asking us when 

we’re going to get an oven 

at our other stores.” 

That answer? Not too 

long from now, apparently. 

The couple has another 

oven that’s slated to soon 

go into the Glencoe location, 

345 Park Ave. As for 

the other locations, only 

time will tell. 

“It’s exciting,” Angela 

said about the company’s 

success. “Our pizzas and 

salads are ones you can really 

feel good about.”

Antiques + Modernism Show kicks off at Zia Gallery 

Submitted by Antiques + 

Modernism 

On May 19, The Woman’s 

Board of Winnetka 

Community House partnered 

with Winnetkabased 

Zia Gallery for the 

very first time to kick off 

the 2016 Antiques + Modernism 

Winnetka Show, 

set to take place Nov. 

4-6. Guests, including 

Woman’s Board committee 

members, local Winnetka 

patrons and sustainers, 

as well as members of 

the Board of Governors, 

enjoyed cocktails, hors 

d’oeuvres and desserts 

while viewing Zia Gallery’s 

expansive collection 

of art. 

“In addition to announcing 

the official launch of 

our show, we were very 

excited to reveal this 

year’s guest speakers, who 

are among the most influential 

women in today’s 

world of interior design: 

Alexa Hampton, Michael 

Del Piero, and India 

Hicks,” 2016 Show Chairwoman 

Kate Kligora said. 

“Zia Gallery was a beautiful 

and inspiring venue for 

committee members and 

the community to gather 

and build excitement for 

this year’s show.” 

Guests purchased India 

and Alexa’s best-selling 

books, “Island Style” and 

“Decorating in Detail,” 

thanks to The Book Stall 

at Chestnut Court in Winnetka. 

Twenty percent of 

all book sales from the 

evening were generously 

donated to the Antiques 

+ Modernism Winnetka 

Show. 

The Kick-Off Party 

featured welcoming remarks 

by Kligora, who 

Winnetkans Kirby Doonan (left) and 

Jeanne Baldridge 

announced the many special 

events and activities 

planned for this year’s A + 

M show. The evening also 

included a performance by 

young cast members from 

Children’s Theatre of Winnetka’s 

sold out play, “The 

Sound of Music.” 

Since the combined 

show’s inception in 2009, 

esteemed dealers from 

across the country flock 

to Winnetka to showcase 

fine examples of American, 

European, and Asian 

antiques, as well as pieces 

from the Arts and Crafts, 

Art Nou veau, Art Deco 

and Mid-Century design 

movements, ranging from 

the 17th century to the 

mid-20th century. Offering 

a wide variety of furniture, 

jewelry, garden antiques, 

rugs, fine art and more, 

the Antiques + Modernism 

Winnetka Show offers 

something for everyone’s 

taste and budget.

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Lucas Bartzis 

The New Trier 2016 

graduate scored a try in 

the state title game despite 

an injured shoulder. He 

will play rugby at Arizona. 

Do you have any 

pregame rituals or 

superstitions before a 

game? 

We usually listen to music 

on the bus but our bus 

rides are pretty rowdy. And 

then once we get there, we 

do the same chant before 

the game. Earlier in the 

season, we switched up our 

chant pregame and never 

lost a game after that. 

What kind of music 

does your team listen 

to? 

Wonderwall (by Oasis) 

was our team song. 

Your team got to go 

on a trip to Ireland. 

How was that? 

It was unbelievable. All 

my friends were on spring 

break somewhere warm, 

and I was in Dublin in 50 

degree rain and I just enjoyed 

every second of it. 

We got to see the whole 

country and meet a bunch 

of people and play rugby. 

So many sports at 

New Trier. Why rugby? 

I really wanted to play 

football my freshman year 

but I got hurt. My buddies 

were like, “You missed 

the football season, so you 

might as well come out and 

play rugby and hit someone, 

because it’s been a 

while.” So I did it. 

What’s something that 

some people might not 

know about rugby? 

No one knows the rules. 

It’s really not that hard to 

learn the game. You just 

have to get thrown out 

there and you have to play. 

What most people don’t 

know about rugby is that 

it’s the most exhausting 

sport, I think. It puts the 

running from soccer with 

football. It’s more endurance 

than just physicality. 

Why did you pick 

Arizona? 

It’s always been a dream 

school. My parents wanted 

me to go there because 

they went to school down 

there. My sister goes there. 

It’s just a great setup for 

me down there and I’m really 

excited. 

What would your 

dream job be? 

Honestly if I could be 

anything, I would be a pro 

golfer because that’s just 

the greatest job on earth. 

Who is your favorite 

sports team? 

Probably the Chicago 

Photo Submitted 

Cubs right now. I watch 

them and they’re on all 

the time. It’s exciting and 

they’re so young and awesome. 

David Ross is my 

favorite player. 

Who is your biggest 

inspiration? 

Probably my brother 

Evan because he had a 

pretty successful sports 

career. We always talk 

about winning state championships 

because he won 

one in ‘07 for soccer. He 

scored the state goal for 

that. He always tried to 

keep me on track for that. 

What was your 

favorite part about 

being an athlete at 

New Trier? 

Probably just the camaraderie 

with your teammates. 

I have friends from 

football and rugby that are 

my best friends. They’ll 

be lifelong friends thanks 

to New Trier sports. I’ve 

spent so much time with 

them already.

Boys soccer 

Ravenscraft to coach New Trier soccer 

Fouad Egbaria 


Matt Ravenscraft has 

played for and coached 

alongside some top-notch 

soccer coaches. 

Now, he’ll get his 

chance to manage his own 

varsity team. 

“I’ll never forget it,” 

Ravenscraft said of getting 

the phone call from new 

Athletic Director Augie 

Fontanetta informing him 

of the news. “I would 

say the whole experience 

was a little surreal, 

because it was 

unexpected.” 

Ravenscraft, formerly 

an assistant coach under 

Wes Molyneaux, was 

recently tapped to be 

Molyneaux’s successor. 

Molyneaux, who took the 

New Trier job in 2013, 

left to pursue an out-ofstate 

opportunity. 

Ravenscraft was a fouryear 

player at Wheaton 

College, where he played 

for legendary coach Joe 

Bean and with New Trier 

grad and All-American 

Steven Rigby. During his 

sophomore year, Wheaton 

advanced to the national 

championship game. 

After college, he began 

working at New Trier and 

started as head coach of 

the junior varsity team for 

three years before coaching 

the sophomore team, 

then two years as a varsity 

assistant. 

“Everything that I’ve 

done in the last 10 years, if 

you even go back to playing 

[college soccer], I feel 

like I’ve worked toward 

it and earned it,” Ravenscraft 

said. “I look forward 

to growing as a coach and 

hopefully building the program 

for the next 10, 20 

years.” 

Fontanetta, who officially 

replaces Athletic 

Director Randy Oberembt 

effective July 1, said Ravenscraft’s 

experience up 

through the ranks was one 

of the attributes that indicated 

he might be a good 

fit. 

“The thing that stood 

out is how focused Matt is 

on the student-athlete and 

their experience,” Fontanetta 

said. “Not just as a 

team, but also each individual’s 

experience and 

how that will contribute 

to the overall team’s success. 

He has great vision of 

where the program is currently 

and where he wants 

to bring it in the future.” 

Along the way, he said 

he picked up coaching tips 

and ideas — among those, 

the importance of film. 

“Kids are able to watch 

film on their iPads.” 

New Trier girls soccer 

head coach Jim Burnside 

served as an assistant on 

the boys team last year — 

Ravenscraft made sure he 

was listening when Burnside 

spoke. 

“[I’m] just picking his 

brain all the time,” Ravenscraft 

said. 

He also wants to instill 

his own ideas, but acknowledged 

that coaches 

can’t be rigid about their 

tactics. 

“The best coaches are 

the ones who are able to 

find that balance between 

how they like to coach, 

the pictures that they want 

to paint, on the field,” he 

said, “but then also what 

are the strengths of the 

players that you have in 

your squad.” 

Speaking of players, the 

Trevians return 18 players 

from the 2015 roster, 

a young bunch that will 

have a collective extra 

year of experience heading 

into the 2016 season. After 

winning the sectional title 

in 2014, the loss of experience 

showed in 2015, as 

the third-seeded Trevians 

were bounced in the regional 

semifinal. 

Given that level of continuity, 

Ravenscraft feels 

good about his understanding 

of the roster. 

“I think we have the 

ability to play in a couple 

of different ways,” he 

said. “I personally think 

we’re going to be a team 

that presses hard when we 

need to and plays on the 

front foot, looks to switch 

the play, looks to keep the 

ball.” 

In the interim between 

now and the start of the 

season, players will work 

on their skills, some of 

them still competing for 

club teams in the area. 

Ravenscraft was excited 

about the high numbers 

within the program, which 

he attributed in some part 

to the excitement surrounding 

high-profile international 

tournaments. 

“Kids are coming excited 

to camp, they’ve been 

watching soccer all day, 

the [Euro Cup] all day,” 

he said. “They come, they 

train with us for a couple 

hours, they play in a game 

and then they go home and 

watch the Copa. Overall, 

this has been a really exciting 

summer for the kids.” 

bareett 

From Page 41 

Hruza suggested she attend 

a summer water polo 

camp out in California. 

Barrett stayed with an aunt 

there and honed her skills 

for two months with the 

San Diego Shores club 

during the summer before 

her sophomore year. She 

was 15 at the time, but 

played with both the U-16 

and U-14 teams, against 

girls who had been playing 

the game for far longer 

than she had. Her skills 

improved so much that 

varsity coach Matt Wendt 

bumped her up to varsity. 

That following spring, 

she knew the move to varsity 

would be a big jump 

— but she was ready. 

“That’s what California 

kind of prepared me for,” 

she said. “Going from the 

freshman level to the California 

level is a really big 

jump, too. I think I was 

well-prepared and I kind 

of knew what to expect.” 

As a sophomore, Barrett 

and her teammates won 

the first of three straight 

sectional titles, besting 

Loyola, 7-6, before falling 

to Stevenson in the state 

quarterfinals. 

Undeterred by the loss, 

she went back to California 

to train the next summer. 

In the 2015 season, 

she helped lead New Trier 

to a second-place finish, 

its best ever, a run during 

which Barrett “basically 

single-handedly” carried 

them, Wendt said. 

After trips to California 

in consecutive summers, 

she took her commitment 

to another level, this time 

heading overseas (again 

at Hruza’s suggestion) to 

compete with a Hungarian 

club team, UVSE. 

The suggestion was telling 

of Hruza’s confidence 

in Barrett’s abilities, as 

Hruza formerly coached 

club water polo squads at 

Michigan State University 

and was a varsity assistant 

at Arizona State University, 

in addition to having 

played professionally in 

his native Hungary. 

She trained from approximately, 

9 a.m.-5 p.m. 

— “It was like a work 

day,” she joked — which 

offered a more intense 

experience than the usual 

high school in-season 

practice regimen. 

“It was a really cool experience 

and it got me into 

the shape I needed to get 

into to start looking at colleges,” 

she said. “It set me 

up and got me ready for 

the season.” 

Once again, the Trevs 

made noise, advancing 

to the state quarterfinals. 

Unfortunately, the Trevians 

ran into the eventual 

state champion, Fenwick. 

Despite the season-ending 

loss, Wendt said Barrett 

kept her cool and handled 

it well. 

As a captain, her steady 

personality helped her 

and the team weather 

choppier waters — she’s 

all business, Wendt said. 

“I once joked I would 

never play poker with her 

because she’d have a great 

hand and you could never 

tell ... she’s cool as a cucumber,” 

Wendt joked. 

Her ability to draw 

double and triple teams 

helped open things up for 

her teammates — but she 

was tough enough to score 

anyway from her center 

position, one that requires 

toughness, not unlike that 

of a hockey player who 

parks in front of the opposing 

goalie. 

Barrett always raised 

her level for big games, 

including, among other 

big plays, scoring an overtime 

goal to send New 

Trier to the state finals in 

2015. 

“The pressure doesn’t 

get to Lauren,” Wendt 

said. “In big games, she 

always performed. On the 

biggest stage, she always 

performed.” 

Now, after a standout 

water polo career that began 

only four years ago, 

she’s ready to perform 

for the Golden Bears. She 

plans on studying integrative 

biology, with a possible 

career in sports medicine 

or physical therapy in 

mind. 

Barrett said Hruza 

always joked when he first 

met her that she would 

one day play in college. 

Now, that’s no joke — it’s 

a goal that has become a 

reality. 

“[Berkeley] was just the 

perfect size, the perfect 

placement ... it’s everything,” 

Barrett said. “Academically, 

it’s going to be 

tough but it’s exactly what 

I wanted. ... And obviously 

the polo’s really good, 

too, so it’s the perfect fit 

for me.” 

The story of her career 

arc is one that can’t be 

told enough, Wendt said. 

“From starting to play 

as a freshman ... she completely 

committed to the 

sport and got into Cal- 

Berkeley,” Wendt said. 

“There is not a clearer 

example of ‘hard work 

equals success.’”

New Trier’s club lacrosse 

squad scored six 

goals in the fourth quarter 

against the Southwest 

Jaguars en route to a 13-6 

victory in the Illinois club 

lacrosse state championship 

game on June 4 in 

Romeoville. 

“We were in the club 

finals in both 2014 and 

2015, but now we’ve 

brought home a victory in 

2016,” said assistant coach 

Trevor Brown, who has 

helped coach the club team 

for the past three years. 

“I guess the third time is 

the charm.” 

New Trier was down 1-0 

at the end of the first quarter. 

By the end of the half, 

the two teams were tied 

5-5, but New Trier inched 

ahead, 7-6, by the end of 

the third quarter. Senior 

middie Tim Fallon’s three 

goals and senior attack 

Will Murdoch’s two goals 

helped push the Trevians to 

victory. 

“The boys played hard 

all year, we had a great 

season,” said co-head 

coach Emmett Jones, a 

former All-American at 

Denison University. “I’m 

really proud of them and 

all they accomplished.” 

Jones coaches New Trier’s 

club team along with 

his former Denison teammate 

and three-time New 

Trier state champion, cohead 

coach Kyle Brown 

(the older brother of assistant 

coach Trevor Brown). 

“The level of play for a 

club team is just outstanding,” 

Kyle Brown said. 

“These players are talented 

and motivated. They know 

the game of lacrosse well, 

and know how to win, 

while having fun in the 

process.”

Waves, Nugent shut down Loyola 

Michael Wojtychiw 

Sports Editor 

After defeating Loyola 

12-0 in five innings last 

week, the Wilmette Waves 

came into their Thursday, 

June 30 matchup against 

the Ramblers with a lot of 

confidence. 

The Waves rode that 

confidence to another 

dominant win over 

Loyola, defeating the visiting 

Ramblers 6-0 in the 

first game of a doubleheader 

behind a dominant 

pitching performance from 

Thomas Nugent. 

“I think our pitchers are 

pretty consistent around the 

plate,” Waves coach Mike 

Napoleon said. “We didn’t 

play as well of defense as 

I wouldn’t have liked today 

but I thought Nugent did a 

really good job out there, 

keeping them off stride.” 

“They’re just playing 

better than us right now, 

to be honest,” Loyola 

coach Nick Bridich said. 

“My summer teams can be 

different depending on the 

day and have a lot of guys 

who are trying to make the 

varsity squad in the spring 

and I think our pitching was 

phenomenal, but we’re not 

making plays and two hits 

and three errors are going 

to result in a 6-0 game.” 

The recently-graduated 

Nugent struck out eight and 

held Loyola hitless through 

4.1 innings. While he did 

walk four, he allowed only 

one Loyola hitter to make it 

past second base. 

“He pitched backwards, 

meaning he threw changeups 

and curveballs in fastball 

counts and got strikes,” 

Napoleon said. 

“I think I threw pretty 

well and my defense was 

making plays,” Nugent 

said. “I walked too many 

guys, so I’ll work on that 

but that should be fine.” 

While Nugent was shutting 

down the Loyola offense, 

his team’s offense 

was giving him all the run 

support he needed. 

The Waves scored two 

runs in the bottom of the 

second on two hits, while 

also taking advantage of 

two Loyola errors. Dylan 

Horvitz and Martin Duffy 

had the hits for Wilmette. 

The Waves tacked on 

another run in the bottom 

of the fourth after Horvitz 

got on base after a third 

strike went past the catcher, 

allowing him to get all 

the way to second. Duffy 

brought a pinch runner in 

to score on a single. 

The Waves put the game 

away in the bottom of the 

fifth, scoring three runs on 

four hits. Eric Moerschel, 

Griff Ryan and Spencer 

Beacom led the inning off

Despite giving up six 

runs, Loyola starter PJ 

McKermitt pitched well, 

striking out three but only 

allowing three hits before 

he got into trouble in the 

decisive fifth inning. 

“We had two phenomenal 

pitching performances, 

VARSITY VIEWS 

VARSITY VIEWS 

but you can’t only have 

two hits and three errors,” 

Bridich said. 

Aidan Dunham had both 

hits for the Ramblers. 

“I set our summer season 

up so everyone can get 

experience, we literally 

had none of our seniors 

playing today. They’re all 

at a travel tournament,” 

Bridich said. “But that 

gives the younger guys 

and other players the experience 

they need to make 

the team next year.” 

”I’m looking at who’s 

improving, who belongs, 

who will go out and still 

scrape and claw. McKermitt 

is a guy that can come 

in and be a varsity factor 

right now. Aidan Dunham 

is such a scrappy player 

and it’s great. He’s an undersized 

kid but he plays 

really hard.” 

With the win, the Waves 

improve to 15-3 on the 

summer, 14-0 in the Chicago 

area. The team went 

1-3 in a tournament June 

24-26 in Washington, Ill. 

The Waves also defeated 

the Ramblers 8-0 in the 

second game of the doubleheader, 

giving them a 

16-3 record on the season. 

“I think that we just try to 

get ourselves better and not 

worry about the outcomes,” 

Napoleon said. “A lot of it 

has to do with us getting 

better individually so we 

can get better as a team. 

That’s the biggest thing that 

we’re trying to do.”

As the four-year anniversary of 

New Trier’s last boys hoops sectional 

title approaches, the memory 

has become even sweeter. 

The 2013 class included guard 

Reid Berman, who helped the program 

push eventual state champion 

Simeon in a 63-54 loss in the 

supersectional. 

“High school definitely the run 

we made our senior year,” Berman 

said about his best prep highlight. 

“Not only winning the sectional, 

but playing Simeon so closely, in 

front of a huge crowd at the supersectional.” 

Despite being a No. 3 seed, 

New Trier had the swagger of a 

favorite and defeated Niles North 

by 23 points in the sectional final. 

“We were really good, the 

games we lost we really close or 

lost to tough teams,” Berman said. 

“We put it all together. Coach did 

a really good job of preparing us 

for Simeon. We had four players 

in double figures. We had six or 

seven guys contributing.” 

It marked the first sectional title 

for the school in eight years. 

“That was such a memorable 

year for me,” former Trevian 

forward Steven Cook said. “Then 

I took it game-by-game, but now, 

with it being three-and-a-half 

years ago, it’s a lot sweeter. I’ll 

never forget it. It was a memorable 

team. I still talk to those guys all 

the time. I’ll always appreciate 

that year and the run we had.” 

In addition to Cook continuing 

his career at Princeton, Berman 

has been running the show at the 

point at Amherst College. His 

team has reached the NCAA Division 

III Final Four twice. 

A year before he got to the 

school, it won a national title. 

Berman started 13 games his 

sophomore year, but saw his playing 

time decrease as the competition 

increased. 

“I’ve splitting time with another 

point guard that is my year,” Berman 

said. “He’s a talented kid and 

a really good player. I was more 

than happy to come off the bench 

and help in any way I could.” 

His mantra embodies the teamfirst 

attitude that squads have in 

college basketball. 

“We were much better this year. 

I told the coach that I feel that everyone 

feels this way,” Berman 

said. “None of us are going to be 

in the NBA, obviously.’ That is 

the best thing about college sports. 

Winning and doing what is best 

for the team.” 

Berman came to Amherst with 

the academics being the driving 

force. 

“It’s very rewarding,” Berman 

said of his decision to play college 

ball at Amherst. “The reason 

I went to Amherst is because 

it’s the best academic school 

(I looked at) and it happens to 

have a really good Division III 

program. It was the best of both 

worlds.” 

He has labored through a grueling 

math major curriculum that 

he will finish a semester early. He 

said there were no general education 

courses that he had to complete, 

which had him complete a 

heavy math course load. 

He found that he enjoyed economics 

and history courses more,

which will come in handy for his 

pursuit of a business career. 

Berman spoke with eagerness 

for life after basketball, with a 

slight touch of mixed feelings. 

“It got me to a great school, but 

I’ve worn it down,” Berman said. 

“It will be bittersweet. I think it’s 

time to do something other than 

basketball.”
