Plots twist, actors thrive in ‘Into the Woods’
Musical ran Aug. 5-7 at
Gorton in Lake Forest
Kirsten Keller, Editor
For many actors, “Into the
Woods” is the embodiment of a
challenging yet rewarding musical.
The storyline twists the plots
of several fairy tales together and
its score — which rarely comes to
a rest — is the base upon which
the tale thrives.
So it comes as no surprise that
the actors of Gorton Community
Center’s Performing Arts Summer
Theatre Academy were “obsessed”
with the musical.
“I have a slight obsession
for ‘Into the Woods,’ and I’ve
watched it probably three times a
day every day [to prepare],” said
Cami Diedrich, 14, of Lake Bluff,
who narrated the tale.
“This is one of my dream
shows to be in,” said Jay Graham,
16, of Lake Bluff, who played
Cinderella’s prince.
“It’s one of my favorite shows
by far just because I’m obsessed
with [composer Stephen] Sondheim,”
said Emerson Hart, 15, of
Lake Bluff, who played the baker.
Director Tom Beck scored big
when he had Gorton put on an
abbreviated version of the musical,
“Into the Woods Jr.,” which
ran Friday-Sunday, Aug. 5-7. The
young actors seemed to radiate
confidence in exposed scenes,
making the audience forget that
those onstage were pre-teens and
teenagers.
The story wove together the
plots of the Brothers Grimm
and Charles Perrault versions of
“Little Red Riding Hood,” “Jack
and the Beanstalk,” “Rapunzel”
and “Cinderella” while its crux
was a couple’s pursuit through
the woods of various items that
would, in a twisted process, allow
them to bear a child.
The musical has no chorus,
therefore forcing the actors’
voices, in solos and duets, to
carry the storyline. One such solo
was that of Jack, played by Luke
Hughes, 11, of Lake Forest. He
stood alone onstage, singing the
lyrical “Giants in the Sky,” a song
about the beanstalk that grew in
his background from “magical”
beans he received in exchange for
his beloved cow, Milky White.
“It was hard getting the timing
right,” Hughes said, noting the pianist,
Elaine Ellis, took time individually
to work with the actors.
Some spoke to the difficult nature
of Stephen Sondheim’s score.
“It’s very dissonant and very
offbeat, and odd and difficult to
Nikole Tzioufas, 15, of Lake Forest, plays Cinderella in “Into
the Woods Jr.”
The witch, played by Katie Finnegan, 14, of Lake Forest, takes a sip out of a goblet in a scene from
“Into the Woods Jr.” Surrounding her are (clockwise from left to right) Jack’s mother, played by Kiera
Burns, 14, of Lake Forest; the baker, played by Emerson Hart, 15, of Lake Bluff; the baker’s wife,
played by Cara Page, 14, of Lake Forest; and Jack, played by Luke Hughes, 11, of Lake Forest. Photos
by Kirsten Keller/22nd Century Media
follow along, but it’s a beautiful
score,” Hart said.
“It was really hard because how
Stephen Sondheim made the music,
it had a bunch of weird beats
and really weird tempos, but it
really makes the musical,” added
Kathryn Hardy, 14, of Lake Bluff,
who played Rapunzel.
Because there is no chorus,
even the roles with fewer lines
and less stage time were integral,
as pointed out by Julia Birmingham,
who played the ghost of
Cinderella’s mother.
“I think the fun part about ‘Into
The granny, played by Manaar Beere. 13, of Lake Forest, prepares to stab the
wolf, played by John Turelli, 11, of Lake Forest.
the Woods’ is each character has
a story, a background, each one
has a different purpose in this
play and without them the play
wouldn’t be put together,” said
the 13-year-old, of Lake Bluff.
And therefore, a rewarding
challenge for all.

LB library’s new logo reflects iconic statue
Kirsten Keller, Editor
The Lake Bluff Public
Library released its new
logo last week, an homage
to a former logo but
more so, a nod to a longstanding
symbol of the
library.
The new logo features
turquoise silhouettes of
geese, which reflect the
geese statue sitting at the
former entrance to the library
on 123 E. Scranton
Ave. The statue, designed
by sculptor Sylvia Shaw
Judson, has been a staple
at the library since it was
gifted to the library by
the Lake Bluff Garden
Club at the current location’s
grand opening
in 1975.
“We’re very proud to
have a piece of [Shaw
Judson’s] art here at the
library and it’s one that
has been an iconic symbol
at the library for a long
time,” Library Director
Eric Bailey said.
The geese logo replaces
the library’s sailboat
logo, which Bailey said
was hard to scale and
whose beige and blue
color scheme was not eyecatching.
“As a logo, it was a
challenge to work with,”
he said.
The sailboat logo was
adopted by the library
in 2009. Before that, the
library had a different
geese-themed logo.
Staff at the library used
the online graphic design
company 99designs to
solicit logo ideas from
across the world. Bailey
estimated 15-20 artists
submitted designs and the
winner received $500.
The geese design
brought to mind residents’
infatuation with the statue,
Bailey said.
“We’re always hearing
from patrons that they
have pictures of their
children or grandchildren
riding on those geese,” he
said.
Librarian Eliza Jarvi
then tweaked and finalized
the submitted
design.
“I think we got a carefully
considered, very attractive,
professionally
done logo for, in terms of
what branding can cost, a
low cost,” Bailey said.
The library has begun
issuing new library
cards with the updated
logo. The logo will soon
be displayed on the library’s
website, which
will also receive a broader
update within the next
year.
The Lake Bluff Public Library’s new logo was unveiled
last week. image submitted

Lake Forest City Council
City asks police to review signage as wheels, feet collide
Kirsten Keller, Editor
There are five signs
in Lake Forest’s central
business district telling
cyclists to walk their
bikes on the sidewalk, but
those warnings may not
be enough to curb the confluence
of wheel and foot
traffic.
Third Ward Alderman
Stanford Tack was
prompted to bring the issue
to the attention of the
Lake Forest City Council
at its meeting on Aug.
1 after a resident complained
of being run into
by kids on bikes while exiting
a store along Western
Avenue.
“We clearly need to do

something,” Tack said,
after Chief of Police Karl
Walldorf noted that most
violators in the business
district are kids. “In looking
at it, it is dangerous in
that area. There are kids
riding in the business district
all the time.”

presentation on the City’s
bike code at the meeting,

Support for LF, LB police departments swells after Dallas attacks
Kirsten Keller, Editor
For days following the
July 7 police officer shootings
in Dallas, an entire
counter in the Lake Forest
Police Department was
stocked with food.
Sandwiches from Panera
Bread, homemade cookies,
Ferentino’s pizza and
salads, you name it — all
offered by residents and
local businesses in support
of the police department.
“The diets go out the
window because, we feel
glad that somebody is doing
that to make you feel
better, but I’m sure my
doctor didn’t appreciate
it,” Deputy Police Chief
Rob Copeland joked on
Aug. 1.
On that date, almost a
month after the shootings
in Dallas, the flag outside
the police department on
255 W. Deerpath Road was
no longer at half-staff, and
the officers were no longer
wearing black mourning
bands across their badges.
The food had also cleared
out, but there still were
other signs of resident support
lingering.
In the department’s
squad room hung letters
of support — not just post-
Dallas, but general support
of the department.
Some were drawn by
kids on construction paper,
others were carefully
penned notes: “For the
many times the men and
women of the Lake Forest
Police & Fire Departments
have run into situations
most of us flee, please accept
my gratitude,” reads
one letter.
“We also want to express
our heartfelt sympathies in
the tragedy in Dallas. You
are all in our thoughts,”
reads another.
Copeland said he and
Police Chief Karl Walldorf
made themselves available
to speak to officers
individually following the
events in Dallas. They reminded
officers that because
of events over the
years, officers are more
“under the microscope”
than usual, but that there is
still a job to be done.
“You’ve got to compartmentalize
that stuff, wrap
it in a box, tuck it away
until the end of the shift,”
Copeland said. “Because
what you don’t want is to
be dwelling on those things
while you’re out there trying
to do your job and now
you’re distracted.”
Lake Bluff Deputy Police
Chief Mike Hosking
enumerated a similar
experience with the Lake
Bluff department: food
delivered, calls of support
made. While he said the
department is not unfamiliar
with this type of treatment,
it’s been emphasized
post-Dallas.
“I think most of the residents
appreciate the job
the police and fire department
does, and they’re
not afraid to express it,”
Hosking said on Aug. 4.
“Although I think the tragedies
in Dallas have certainly
highlighted it, and I
think people are waiting to
see what’s next.”
Both deputies pointed
to the departments’ community
outreach that they
believe has led to positive
community relations.
In Lake Forest, programs
of the 2-year-old
Police Foundation have
provided direct access to
officers. In Lake Bluff, officer
presence at the Fourth
of July parade and the Criterium
has made officers
more approachable, Hosking
said.
Letters of support hang on a board in the Lake Forest
Police Department’s squad room. Kirsten Keller/22nd
Century Media
Neither equated the
towns’ small sizes to a
lower probability of crime
or tragedy occurring.
“Aurora, Colo., is a lot
like our town. Sandy Hook
is a lot like our town,”
Copeland said, referencing
to two incidents where
gunmen killed citizens in
smaller towns.
Hosking, a former police
chief at the Lake Forest department,
noted the area’s
expressways bring in people
from across the country,
while emphasizing that
people are people, no matter
where they come from.
“At any given time, you
don’t know where something’s
going to happen,”
Hosking said. “Other than
Lake Bluff not being as
large as Chicago or Dallas,
you still have the same
people, you still have the
people dealing with the
same struggles that people
deal with.”

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER
Truck trailer carrying
asphalt tips over in ‘freak
of nature’ accident
A semi trailer-truck carrying
19 tons of asphalt
tipped over during the
morning commute Thursday,
Aug. 4, causing delays
on Lake Cook Road
and Skokie Valley Road.
The truck was turning
onto the right lane of
northbound Skokie Valley
Road from eastbound
Lake Cook Road when the
incident occurred just before
9:06 a.m., driver Dan
Ramos said. He had been
on his way to a job site in
Highland Park.
“I had just got the green
arrow to go, had barely
picked up speed to make
the turn ... [when] I just
heard a loud pop,” Ramos
said. “I looked in my side
mirror, and I see a white
cloud of smoke.”
He saw his rear tires
lift off the ground, he
added, and that’s when
the trailer detached from
the truck and fell onto its
side, dumping thousands
of pounds of asphalt on the
street and adjacent curb.
The vehicle itself stayed
level.
Ramos believes a mechanical
failure caused the
accident.
No injuries were reported
on the scene.
Highland Park police
responded to the incident
and blocked off all northbound
Skokie Valley Road
lanes.
Despite being initially
shaken by the crash, Ramos
spoke calmly, relieved
that no one was hurt.
“You just thank God,”
he said. “Live to work another
day, go home.”

Winnetka debates future

As Winnetka Village
President Gene Greable
spoke at the Village Council
meeting on Aug. 2
about the aftermath from
storms and deluge a few
weeks back, there were
mixtures of frustration and
anger in his voice.
“I can’t take this anymore,”
he said. “The worst
thing about it is it is going
to take time and we don’t
have time. We have to fix
this now.”
For more than three
hours, council members
and residents alike expressed
their aggravation
over the ongoing flooding
problems in Winnetka.
“We are going to have
this again. This isn’t going

said. “This community is

Staff Report
For the past 18 months, The
Lake Forest Leader has been
bringing Lake Forest and Lake
Bluff residents all the news of
their community completely
free each week in our newspaper.
Readers have been told what’s
going on in their area and how
they might be affected by the
decisions of their elected officials,
as well as provided information
about the numerous fundraisers,
activities and school
events that involve residents’
friends, neighbors and children.
But it is now important for you
to return an official request in
order to keep The Lake Forest
Leader free. The request form is
on Page 14. Please sign the card
and mail it or fax it to our offices.
The simplest way to request
the paper, however, is to fill out
the form in seconds at LakeForestLeader.com/delivery.
As a community, Lake Forest
and Lake Bluff have embraced
their hometown newspaper, and
our readers’ active participation
has and will continue to be
much appreciated. Currently,
we have a simple request that
will allow you to continue to
receive The Lake Forest Leader
free of charge each week.
This small favor will only
cost you a minute of your time
and a swoop of your pen.
In order for The Lake Forest
Leader to continue providing
you news that is relevant to you
for free, we’re asking you to
help us achieve a special class
of mail called Periodical Requester.
In order to achieve this
status, the U.S. Postal Service
requires signed request forms
from Lake Forest and Lake
Bluff residents.
Because 22nd Century Media
is a privately owned company,
it does not receive any funding
from local or national government.
We’ve been working to
curtail our mailing costs and
speed up delivery of our newspaper
by asking residents to fill
out, sign and return the request
cards printed in the paper each
week.
All information will be kept
completely confidential, and we
are only asking for the information
we’re required to provide
to the U.S. Postal Service. The
postal service will audit The
Lake Forest Leader to ensure
that our readers have returned
these important requests.
In order to get the reduced
mailing rate and enhanced delivery,
we must obtain 51 percent
of signatures from Lake Forest
and Lake Bluff residences. So if
you are one who has not yet returned
your request form, either

the central business district
between 8 a.m.-9 p.m. The
police department is in charge
of issuing verbal and written
warnings to violators, who
also include unlicensed cyclists.
Walldorf also mentioned
other methods used to let
kids know the bike rules: a
class taught to fifth-graders,
and new “Positive Tickets,” a
3-month-old program where
officers give tickets to kids
who are spotted doing good
things, including wearing a
helmet or walking their bike.
The tickets can be turned in
for prizes at local businesses.
The police department cannot
issue citations, Walldorf
explained, because there is not
enough warning to people entering
the business district of
the bike code. He estimated 13
additional signs would need to
be posted to issue citations.
“But we know in the past
that sometimes the extra signage
in the area has not been
appreciated,” he said, and subsequently
asked the council
for input.
Many aldermen voiced their
hesitation in adding “sign pollution”
to the downtown.
“I would not be in favor of
finding a home for 13 sign
locations so that we can start
writing tickets,” Second Ward
Alderman George Pandaleon
said.
Mayor Don Schoenheider
suggested the police department
find the spots that would
make most sense to have additional
signs.
“Maybe the first step is to
figure out if there are some
very specific places that it
would make sense to take the
next step,” he said.
Walldorf said Western Avenue
may need more signage,
and some existing signs, referred
to as legacy signs,
could be taken down.
“I would take down some
of the legacy signs because
they’re very poorly placed for
our purposes,” Walldorf said.
The council directed the police
department to figure out
where signs would most effectively
be placed and then return

Last week I sat
down with the deputy
police chiefs at
the Lake Forest and Lake
Bluff police departments
to chat about the wake of
the Dallas police shootings
on July 7.
That was my first time
meeting the deputies —
Rob Copeland and Mike
Hosking — and they were
very friendly, and they
told me to reach out any
time I needed anything.
Sure, I’m a member of
the press, and maybe they
felt obligated to say that.
But they didn’t have to
say that. And I think they
meant it.
It made me think about
how I feel when I see
officers in their vehicles.
I think most people’s
reaction is to feel officers
want to pull you over and
issue a ticket.
But do they?
As it relates to my job,
when bad things happen,
it’s my job to report on
them. But I don’t get joy
out of that. Sure, journalists
get a weird shot
of adrenaline when bad
things are happening —
akin to the journalists
who covered the events in
Dallas. But that just helps
us do our job, and I’d
guess that police officers
have a similar type of
adrenaline — not of glee,
but of duty.
Behind the job is a real
person, one who makes
jokes, one who likes to
leave the job after the
shift is over. Of course,
it’s hard to take the journalist
and officer out of
the person, but it is possible
to extract the person
out of the position.
I know many residents
clearly see the people
behind the badges and the
squad cars.
But as always, more of
us can lend support and
understanding, and not
just following tragedy.

Lake Forest’s sale of
10.6 acres was a terrible
decision for all residents
After nearly two years
of meetings, at which
there was huge public opposition,
Lake Forest has
sold 10.6 acres at Laurel
& Western Avenues to Focus
Development, which
will build 164 dwelling
units, including 12 homes,
42 condominiums and 110
rental apartments in a
neighborhood which already
has the highest density,
by far, in all of Lake
Forest. The five buildings
containing 42 condominiums
and 110 apartments
will be 46 feet in height,
in violation of the Lake
Forest Code’s maximum
building height limitation
of 35 feet in the central
business district. On site
guest parking will provide
spaces for 31 vehicles,
while the Code requires
51. Parking at and near
this intersection is already
the most difficult in the
City during peak times,
when some cars must park
on the grass parkway be-

Worse, however, are
the financial aspects of the

price was listed as $12

$9.225 million, plus pay
up to $3 million to raze the
building and garages and
remediate the land per EPA
Regulations before transferring
the property. As a
result, the City will receive
no net proceeds and has,
in effect, given away this
important property in our
community.
Why did it sell this property,
which housed the former
municipal services facilities?
In 2005, the City
bought the property previously
sought by Costco
and built new, grand municipal
services facilities
at a total cost of approximately
$31 million. Thus,
it no longer required the
former site recently sold
to Focus Development. At
the time, the City anticipated
the sale of the East
Laurel Avenue site where
the municipal services
building was formerly located
would substantially
fund the purchase of the
land and construction,
which never occurred.
In hindsight, our City
Government, in an effort
to increase its physical
presence, made a terrible
decision and spent $31
million to buy the land,
build, landscape and furnish
its new municipal
services facilities, then
“gave away” the 10.6
acres where the former
municipal services facilities
were located at Laurel
& Western Avenues
ultimately receiving no
net proceeds from the sale
to Focus Development,
which estimates total revenues
from their development
in excess of $83 million.
All Lake Foresters
should be outraged from
these terrible and financially
detrimental decisions.

Kirsten onsgard, Freelance Reporter
A small group of former Lake
Forest High School teachers hold a
dear tradition: A few times a year,
they meet and swap stories over
breakfast at a pancake house. They
laugh about old shenanigans, like
when a new teacher was accidentally
kicked out of the teacher’s
lounge because he looked like a student,
and the persistent stains of the
mimeograph.
For some, it’s not too often they
see their former students. But at the
Lake Forest Day Parade on Aug. 3,
members of the Lake Forest High
School Class of 1966 — who were
celebrating their 50th class reunion
— invited their former teachers to
ride alongside them.
Fittingly, the 109th Lake Forest

was also in honor of Lake Forest

was their highlight of the

When former physical
education teacher Lew
Bertsos heard about the

Arthur Walker
Arthur Walker, 78, of
Lake Bluff, died on July
30. Walker was born Sept.
1, 1937, at
St. Therese
Hospital in
Waukegan. He attended
Holy Family Church and
School in North Chicago,
as well as Waukegan
and North Chicago high
schools. Walker served in
the U.S. Army from 1957-
1960 and proceeded to
marry, raise a family that
included five children, and
earn a bachelor’s degree in
criminal justice from Carthage
College in Kenosha,
Wis. He earned his degree
while working full time as
a police officer for the City
of Lake Forest, where he
served for nearly ten and
one half years, leaving in
March of 1975 to accept
the then newly created
position of chief investigator
for the Lake County
States Attorneys’ Office.
His first duty, working for
then States Attorney Jack
Hoogaisian and funded by
a federal grant, was to establish
a complete criminal
investigative unit. Within
30 short days, the unit was
in place and it remains in
operation today. Walker
often said that “The year
and a half I worked for
Jack Hoogaisian were the
school in 1962. His colleague
in the department,
Lloyd Atwell, who began
teaching in 1961, also
rode with them. Together
they helped found the outdoor
education program at
Lake Forest High School,
which still exists today.
“That was the best part
— renewing acquaintances
with kids from 50 years
ago,” Bertsos said about
the parade.
As the group rode down
Western Avenue on Aug. 3
— with six retired faculty
best years I ever worked.
Jack was a great boss and
a wonderful person to have
as a friend.” Walker is preceded
in death by his second
wife, Nicki M. Walker
(nee Romcevich) in 200;
his father, Paul Walker in
1944; his mother, Wanda
Hanzel Walker in 1970;
and his two, locally famous
dogs, “Bing” in
1976 and “Butler” in 1998.
He is survived by his wife,
Elena Walker; his three
daughters, Maria Walker
Robinson (Raymond),
Kathryn Walker-Eich and
Betsey Walker; as well as
his two sons, Paul Walker
(Pamela) and John Walker.
Additionally, eight grandchildren,
several nieces
and nephews and cousins
survive his passing.

William A. Kercher, 79,
formerly of Lake Bluff,
passed away peacefully

LF residents open cryotherapy spa in HP
Courtney Jacquin
Contributing Editor
Living in the Chicago area,
we’re accustomed to the cold
and usually, well, we’re not too
fond of it. But what if the cold
was the secret to healing our ailments
all along?
Enter: cryotherapy, a curative
health treatment involving subzero
temperatures.
When Tom and Paige Polakow,
two health care professionals,
learned more about the
research and health benefits
around cryotherapy, they dove in
head first and opened CryoPure
Spa in Highland Park, located
at 1849 Green Bay Road, which
opened in June.
Tom, a registered nurse in orthopedics
and Paige, a manager
of nursing performance operation
at Northwestern Medicine,
have more than 17 years experience
combined in health care
and wellness, always knew they
wanted to one day start a business
together. After researching
the benefits of cryotherapy, the
Lake Forest residents and New
Trier grads knew that this was it.
“We decided to go for it,”
Paige said. “The amount of benefits
that there are, and us being
in health care, caring about patients
and wellness, as a whole as
a wellness facility, it seemed like
the perfect fit.”
Cryotherapy, though long researched
in Europe and Asia, is
a relatively new phenomenon in
the U.S., and one of the biggest
hurdles for Tom and Paige has
been educating the public on its
benefits — no, it’s not cryogenics.
CryoPure offers three main
types of cryotherapy and recovery
services: whole body cryotherapy,
localized cryotherapy
and compression therapy.
Whole body cryotherapy is
the most popular and also the
most intimidating. The user
stands in a chamber, which encloses
the entire body except for
the head, and drops the temperature
between -116 degrees and
-274 degrees Fahrenheit with
nitrogen gas. This signals to the
brain the body is “freezing,”
pushing blood to the inner core
to protect the organs. When the
body returns to regular temperature
after a maximum of three
minutes in the chamber, blood
returns to the rest of the body,
helping to reduce inflammation.
The process also increases endorphins.
Research shows benefits
include reduced inflammation,
reduced joint and muscle
pain, faster athletic recovery
time, reduction of wrinkles,
tightened skin, increased energy
and more.
“Some of the stories we hear
from our clients that have issues
they’ve been dealing with
all their life, chronic issues —
back pain, fibromyalgia, elbow
pain — people that can’t do
things, and then they do a few
sessions, kind of get hooked
on it, and we have people coming
in saying they can work out
again, they can sleep better,”
Tom said. “It honestly gives
you goosebumps, and it almost
always makes us want to cry at
how much better people feel.”
While cryotherapy isn’t for
everyone — pregnant women,
those with Raynaud’s disease,
significant heart history or cold
allergies — it’s most beneficial
and impactful for those with
chronic pain conditions and athletes
and those most in tune with
their bodies.
Though CryoPure will create
an individualized plan for each
client, typically a regimen of 2-3
treatments per week is recommended.
Tom and Paige acknowledge

to -274 degrees Fahrenheit, at
CryoPure Spa in Highland Park.

cryotherapy isn’t a cure-all for
ailments, but they’ve already
seen great results in their clients
over the past two months.
“That’s what we want, we’re
just trying to help,” Paige said.
“This train is taking forever.”

Local teen earns Girl Scouts’ highest award for learning project
Submitted by Girl Scouts
of Greater Chicago and
Northwest Indiana
Nearly 70 local high
school students recently
earned Girl Scouts of the
USA’s most prestigious national
honor for girls, the
Girl Scout Gold Award.
Girl Scouts of Greater
Chicago and Northwest
Indiana honored their accomplishments
during a
special ceremony on June
4 at the Chicago Marriott
Oak Brook.
Lucy Barnhart, of Lake
Forest, received her Girl
Scout Gold Award after
completing a complex series
of requirements, including
the implementation
of a significant community
service project.
Barnhart, a member of
Troop 42699, earned her
Gold Award by creating
manila folder games for
the young students of the
Boys and Girls Club of
Lake County. These games
were an easy way for students
to practice math and
grammar skills in a fun way
during their after-school
programs.
The Girl Scout Gold
Award is the highest award
that a Girl Scout ages 14-
18 may earn. The leadership
and organizational
skills, as well as the sense
of community and commitment
required to complete
the process set the foundation
for a lifetime of active
citizenship. Girls complete
seven steps to earn the
Gold Award, including the
completion of a significant
service project.
The project fulfills a
need within a girl’s community
(whether local or
global), creates change
and is sustaining. The Gold
Award recognizes the work
of Girl Scouts who demonstrate
leadership culminating
in 80 hours or more,
dedicated toward their service
project. Girls complete
a minimum of 40 hours in a
leadership role before embarking
on the final project.
Girls have earned Girl
Scouts of the USA’s highest
awards since 1916, just
four years after the organization’s
founding in 1912.
These awards include the
Golden Eagle of Merit,
Barnhart created educational games for students of the
Boys and Girls Club of Lake County to earn her Gold
Award. This game teaches punctuation.
Golden Eaglet, Curved Bar,
First Class and the current
Girl Scout Gold Award,
which was introduced in
1980. Over the course of
the last century, millions of
Girl Scout alumnae have
positively impacted their
communities and the world
with their creative and sustainable
community service,
or Take Action, projects.
As awareness of the Girl
Scout Gold Award continues
to grow, so does its
prestige. An increasing
number of colleges are offering
financial incentives
to those who earn Girl
Scout Gold Awards and admissions
counselors view
it as a sign of an individual
girl’s ability to lead.
Girl Scouts of Greater
Chicago and Northwest
Indiana impacts the lives
of more than 55,400 girls
and nearly 21,400 adult
members in 245 communities
in six Illinois counties
(Cook, DuPage, Grundy,
Kankakee, Lake and Will)
and four Indiana counties
(Jasper, Lake, Newton and
Porter).

Each tribe meets once
per month in the evening
or on weekends, which includes
primarily outdoor
activities, crafts and modest
ritual based on Native
American culture. The
season runs from September
through late June with
several family events in
the summer.

George Trois transports guests to French excellence

If a trip to France for authentic
cuisine is on your
bucket list, look no further
than your own backyard to
have a true taste of France
at Winnetka’s newest authentic
French restaurant,
George Trois.
While housed at esteemed
Restaurant Michael,
George Trois, which
opened in October, is a
separate restaurant providing
a fresh, unique dining
experience unlike anything
in the main dining room.
The restaurant has a small
dining capacity of 20 to
keep the atmosphere intimate.
George Trois welcomes
patrons to a six- or ninecourse
French country dining
experience personally
hosted by Chef Michael
Lachowicz, owner of Restaurant
Michael.
Lachowicz wanted to
open another French concept
because of his passion
for the structure of French
cuisine.
“There’s a method and
technique to everything
and there’s a rhythm to
French cooking,” he said.
George Trois, French for
“George the Third,” was
named by Lachowicz to
pay homage to his grandfather
George and uncle
George who greatly influenced
his career.
When my staff ate at
George Trois, we were
served this month’s ninecourse
menu. Upon arrival,
we were greeted by Lachowicz
and his hospitable
staff, including Maitre D’
Daniel Gutierrez and General
Manager Sergio Angel,
and we were promptly
seated in a quiet, white and
cream-colored room simply
decorated and filled
with a gentle level of classical
music.
The meal started with
a tiny Lyonaisse and
Burgundy-poached quail
egg. A French salad from
Lyon, the dish was made
with baby frisee, a shredded
potato basket, mustard
vinaigrette and topped with
crispy croutons, bacon bits
and a quail egg poached
in Burgundy wine. When
breaking the egg, the yolk
neatly dressed the entire
salad.
Another featured dish
was the foie gras chaudfroid
(chilled and warm)
torchon and brioche. Foie
gras is a specially fattened
food made from duck liver.
The chilled foie gras is a
torchon de foie gras marinated
in wine and cooked
“sous-vide,” or under
vacuum, and cured for two
weeks. On the right side of
the rich dish was a warm
foie gras and a brioche bun
filled on the bottom with
truffle puree and topped
with a medallion of foie
gras baked inside. On the
outside of the dish were
fresh huckleberries candied
in vanilla syrup and
underneath, a marmalade
made with fresh kumquats.
Next was a roast saddle
of rabbit, pain perdu, stoneground
mustard sauce and
fresh cherries. The dish
was a double saddle of rabbit
stuffed with the cherry
pain perdu (French for “lost
bread”), which was a bread
pudding from brioche with
a little bit of goat cheese,
fresh cherries and a hint of
rosemary. Tiny cherries and
carrots surrounded the rabbit
and provided a gardenlike
presentation.
The Alaskan halibut
came with English peas
and local chanterelles —
golden mushrooms with
wavy, rounded caps. The
halibut, which was sauteed
in olive oil and topped with
caviar, was served with
a pea custard filled with
crisp English peas softened
with brown butter. After
being placed on the table,
the dish was gently poured
over with a sauce made of
roasted chicken broth with
pea and truffle cream.
Other courses included
wagyu beef pan-roasted
and served over grilled
asparagus and squash; a
passion fruit intermezzo

served atop Ketel One vodka;
three artisan cheeses; a
peach souffle made with
Grand Marnier that gave
the warm and fluffy dessert
a unique bitter orange
taste; and warm and chilled
Turkish figs.
We were served different
wines to complement the
dishes, which provided a
wonderfully French dining
experience.
Additionally, the portions
were appetizing without
making you feel heavy
after eating them, something
that was Lachowicz’s
goal when he designed the
menu.
“I want you to feel satisfied
and fed but fresh,” Lachowicz
said. “I don’t want

and a brioche bun filled on the bottom with truffle puree
and topped with a medallion of foie gras baked inside.
Tiny Lyonnaise and Burgundy-poached quail egg was
the perfectly petite beginning to the evening’s meal.
you to feel overwhelmed.”
George Trois was a
breathtaking culinary experience
due to the friendliness
and attentiveness of
Lachowicz and his staff,
charmingly presented dishes
and elegant feel of the
establishment.
Lachowicz says he is
proud to have his businesses
in Winnetka because of
the North Shore culture
and dedicated area clientele.
“I’ve been here for 11
years, and my current customers
are my best customers,”
he said. “I’ve
built a great list of guests
[and] it’s helped support
George Trois in its fledgling
stage. They’re dedicated
to their businesses
on the North Shore, they’re
great people, and let’s face
it, this is where the money
is. This is a good place to
be planted.”
To dine at George Trois,
reservations are required
and must be made and paid
for in advance. The cost of
a six-course menu is $150
per guest and the cost of the
nine-course menu is $180,
plus tax and gratuity. Additional
beverage services,
including wine flight, are
an additional charge.

Baseball
Pitch count ruling may preserve high school arms for next level
Eric DeGrechie
Managing Editor
Part II of a two-part
series on states being required
to institute pitch
counts for the 2017 high
school baseball season.
Thomas Edward John
Jr. is arguably one of the
best left-handed pitchers
in Major League Baseball
history. His career win
total of 288 puts him seventh
all-time for lefties.
Though his name may
not be super familiar with
modern players — many
who weren’t even born
when he threw his last
pitch in 1989 — they’re
probably aware of the surgical
procedure named after
him. Known in medical
practice as ulnar collateral
ligament reconstruction,
Tommy John surgery is a
graft procedure in which
the ulnar collateral ligament
in the medical elbow
is replaced with a tendon
from elsewhere in the
body. John achieved more
than half of his career win
totals after getting the surgery.
According to MLB, 25
percent of active pitchers
have had the procedure, as
have 15 percent of current
minor league pitchers.
With a concern for injuries
that lead to procedures
like Tommy John surgery,
the National Federation
of State High School Associations
recently approved
a new policy that
will create a pitch-count
restriction versus limiting
innings pitched starting
with the 2017 season. The
NFHS board, which oversees
the rule books for 16
high school sports, is using
guidelines set by USA
Baseball as a guideline,

but is allowing individual
state associations to iron
out the specifics and establish
their own systems
for regulation.
Spencer Allen, who is
entering his second season
as head baseball coach at
Northwestern University,
thinks the restrictions
will improve the health of
young pitchers and preserve
their arms for when
they get to the next level.
“I’m not sure pitch
counts are a necessity, but
I think it is smart to have
them,” Allen said. “I think
that kids in due time will
benefit.”
Craig Anderson, executive
director of the
Illinois High School Association,
said his organization
will meet in the
next few weeks to discuss
specifically how the state
Lake Forest High School graduate Matt Peterson will attend Villanova University this
fall, where he’ll be unburdened by the pitch limits. 22nd Century Media File Photo
“I’m not sure they’re a necessity, but I think it is
smart to have them. I think that kids in due time
will benefit.”
Spencer Allen — Northwestern University baseball coach, on pitch count
restrictions at the high school level
of Illinois will enforce the
NFHS regulation recommendations.
As the former
head baseball administrator
for IHSA, Anderson
has listened to the concerns
of college coaches.
“Time and again, I’ll
hear about a pitcher who
overextended themselves
and if it’s a pitcher that’s
had the guise of some
college coaches, generally
the response from the
college coach is that’s too
much for that pitcher at
that age,” Anderson said.
“They shouldn’t be pitching
that many pitches on a
given day. I think they’ll
be happy to recognize that
we’ve adopted some limits
and restrictions for the
safety and health of our
athletes.”
Among the concerns
expressed by some high
school coaches is how the
new pitch count rules will
be enforced and whether
they will be adopted using
a tiered system meant
to give pitchers a higher
pitch count as the season
progresses. Monitoring
the pitch counts of pitchers
participating in other
baseball leagues outside
of the high school season
also presents challenges.
“Coaches have always
shared with me the perspective
that as those kids
go away from them and
participate in a fall wooden
bat league or a summer
team, that sometimes in
those situations, kids are
overextending themselves
and now they’re caught in
a position where they’re
being unsafe,” Anderson
said. “That’s what
I’ve heard from my high
school coaches, but I’m
anticipating when as a
state we adopt something,
we’ll see that filter into
other areas. I believe summer
ball will follow our
plan and adopt our restrictions.”
Baseball Prospectus,
an organization devoted
to the sabermetric analysis
of baseball, specifically
at the MLB level,
has a metric called Pitcher
Abuse Points. PAP is used
to measure a pitcher’s
overexertion under the
assumption that fatigue
sets in at 100 pitches. According
to the metric, a
125-pitch outing is 125
times more stressful than
a 100-pitch outing.
Though pitch counts
are monitored at the collegiate
level, there are currently
no restrictions.
“I think high school
should be the only level
to have pitch counts,”
said Noah Stern, Highland
Park graduate and incoming
freshman pitcher
at Weber University. “If
you even get to college
to that level, you should
have enough knowledge
on how many pitches you
should be throwing and if
your arm hurts you should
come out, et cetera, et
cetera. You’re mature
enough to make your own
decisions when you’re at
that age.”
Allen admits that having
pitch count restrictions
takes emotion out of
pulling a pitcher out of the
game, which he thinks can
be beneficial. He’s hoping
the new rules and education
will help all parties
involved.
“It is important that
players and parents protect
their future,” Allen
said. “We are all competitive
and want to win, but
it’s important that we all,
myself included, protect
the future of student-athletes.”

Univ. of Illinois golfer takes home Western Amateur trophy
Colin Hanner
Freelance Reporter
It was a tale of three
cities at the Western
Amateur, as players from
Northbrook, Highwood
and Lake Bluff played at
Knollwood Club in Lake
Forest to see if they could
take home the George R.
Thorne trophy to their
North Shore hometown.
Northbrook’s Nick Hardy
advanced the farthest of
the trio — to the fifth day
of play — but was overtaken
by Davis Riley in
the first round of match
play. Dylan Meyer, Hardy’s
teammate at the University
of Illinois, won
the Western Amateur 3
and 1 in the championship
match on Aug. 6.
Andrew Price, of Lake
Bluff, was one of the only
mid-amateurs in the field
to participate. He was
seeking his first bid into
the Sweet 16 match play
round in over 10 years of
playing the event.
And, at the time Price
walked up the 18th hole
on Aug. 3 during his second
round of stroke play,
he was on the cut line
and needed just a par to
advance to the third and
fourth rounds of stroke.
After hitting his approach
shot over the green, he hit
his chip shot past the hole
and had an uphill ten-foot
putt for par. What was
the mid-amateur thinking
over the putt?
“Don’t leave it short,”
Price said.
Price left the par putt
short and settled for a bogey,
but thanks to blustery
conditions for afternoon
players, his second-round
even-par 71 and his firstround
73 were good enough
to put him in a tie for 29th,
well within the cut line.
“I felt like I played
pretty solid [during the
second round],” Price
said. “I drove it a lot better
on the back nine, gave
myself some opportunities.
Not as much on the
front, but I hung in there
all day. Hopefully, things
work out. Pins were tough
– they were really hard. [It
was] so firm on the greens
and it was tough to get it
close.”
Price attributed his solid
play to his familiarity
with the golf course, as
his home in Lake Bluff is
just down the street from
Knollwood Club in Lake
Forest.
“I know where to miss
it,” Price said. “I’m extremely
familiar with the
golf course. [The] problem
is, when you play
here, you’re never playing
greens like this. They’re
so much faster and so
much firmer, and there’s
not as much experience
with the greens, but I already
know what I’m going
to hit on tees when I
get up there because I’m
familiar with that. Any
knowledge helps, that’s
for sure.”
Price entered the third
and fourth rounds on Aug.
4 needing to post two low
scores to jump several
spots within the top-16
players. For much of the
fourth round, he was within
the cut line for match
play and was at one point
2-under par, but eventually
settled for an even-par 71,
matching his third and second
round scores.
Though Price missed
the match-play event by
just two strokes, he was
pleased of the play that
carried him through the
three days of stroke play.
“This event is so
Andrew Price, of Lake Bluff, missed the match-play event of the Western Amateur by just two strokes. Colin
Hanner/22nd Century Media
good, and I’ve been
lucky enough to play it
a few times,” Price said.
“You’re playing against
some of the best amateurs
in the world, and you just
want to play good. I hung
in there.”
Just as soon as Northbrook’s
Hardy seemed to
be getting his game polished
after three days of
solid stroke play at the
Western Amateur, things
quickly turned for the
golfer during the first
round of match play on
the morning of Aug. 5.
Hardy faced incoming
University of Alabama
golfer Davis Riley in
the first round of match
play and lost 4 and 2 in a
match fraught with costly
bogies for Hardy that
was highlighted by poor
putting.
“It was unfortunate
that I couldn’t go further,
but it’s golf and it happens,”
Hardy said. “Losing
stinks, but it’s more
motivation for me to get
better.”
Hardy finished four
rounds of stroke play at
3-under par, 12 shots behind
University of Florida
golfer Sam Horsfield,
who was the tournament’s
medalist with a four-day
15-under total.
After a disappointing
5-over 76 on Aug. 2, Patrick
Flavin, of Highwood,
came into the day on Aug.
3 with sights set on challenging
the cut line of the
top 44 players. He fired a
1-over 71, but finished in
a tie for 77th, three strokes
off making the cut.
“It’s tough,” Flavin
said. “Obviously the
greens are really fast. [On
Tuesday] it was really
tough. There were some
spots where you couldn’t
stop it, and [on Wednesday]
it was more of the
same. The course is awesome;
it’s a good test.”
Though Flavin’s performance
didn’t stack well
against competition after
his first round, he came
back out on Aug. 3 with the
hopes of keeping it close.
“I had one bad swing
on my 10th tee shot [during
the second round], but
other than that, I played
really well today and put
up a solid number,” Flavin
said. “It just shows me
that I can really compete
with these guys.”
Flavin, whose father
caddied for him during the
first two rounds, wrapped
up his second Western
Amateur in good spirits,
acknowledging that the
support he received from
the Highwood community
was a nice addition to participating
in a world-class
amateur event.

Derek Wolff, Sports Editor
More than most, Grant
Messner might be best defined
by the term “studentathlete.”
Like most baseball players
with aspirations of playing
the game beyond high
school, Messner played
travel ball and attended
collegiate showcases while
progressing through Lake
Forest High School.
Unlike most ballplayers
though, he curtailed those
showcases to ones in which
his academic aptitude
would be on full display
as well, helping him land a
spot at California Institute
of Technology.
Messner’s story within
the game began the way it
does for most, though he
recalls needing a little bit of
help early on.
“My first day of T-ball
they had the right-handed
players on one side and
the left-handed players on
the other,” Messner said.
“I was right handed but
thought I was left handed
so I ran over to the lefthanded
side of the field
with a right-handed glove.”
Much like in his studies,
he proved to be a quick
learner on the diamond,
playing every position that
his coaches would put him
at. At 12 years old, his progression
elevated him to the
travel ball ranks, where he
played for the Lake Forest
Baseball Association and
then with the Lake County
Lightning to broaden his
horizons.
When he arrived at
LFHS, test preparation
became just as important
for Messner as attending
showcases. He searched
for the right fit and logical
next step in his educational
path, beginning to attend
showcases that had strict
academic requirements attached
as well during his
sophomore year.
“When I thought about
playing baseball in college,
first and foremost it was
an academic decision, so
I was looking for a school
that was a good fit for me
academically and baseball
was a secondary concern,”
Messner said. “I knew that
if there was a good school
I could get into that had a
baseball team, I wanted to
play on it.”
Messner concentrated
on Division III schools and
took the initiative, sending
emails to the coaching
staffs of the University of
Chicago, Pamona Pitzer
and MIT, among others.
Caltech became a possibility
after attending a Headfirst
Honor Roll showcase,
which required each athlete
to have a specific score on
the ACT just to attend.
As a sophomore who
hadn’t taken the ACT yet,
Messner felt like he didn’t
have the best camp outing
and struggled a bit since
there were juniors in attendance
as well who were a
little more polished at that
point than he was. By that
time, he had only taken the
practice ACT, another disadvantage
when compared
to many of the other players.
During his junior season,
Messner attended the same
showcase, fresh off an impressive
performance on
the ACT where he scored
a 35. This time he made a
connection with Caltech’s
head coach, Matthew
Mark.
He took an official visit
out to Pasadena in December
of 2015, where the
atmosphere immediately
made him feel that he come
to the right place.
“A lot of the people there
are a lot like me,” he said.
“They work really hard and
they’re into math, science,
engineering type things.
I met with the baseball
team and went to a couple
practices. I really liked the
school and it just felt like
the right fit for me when I
walked on campus.”
Messner hasn’t declared
a major at this point but
is leaning toward either
studying engineering or
physics.
His summer has largely
been spent in preparation
for the upcoming 2017 season
with the Beavers after
a 2016 campaign with the
Scouts that saw him split
pitching time between
starting and relief appearances.
He’s been active
within the community as
well, with a coaching stint

baseball team in a game last season. Photo Submitted

July.
Last week, Caltech sent
him a lifting and running
program, where he’s been
doing a lot of work with
weighted medicine balls in
order to work on his form,
as well as arm and core
strength.
As an underclassmen
with the Beavers, he’s realistic
about what his role
on the team will be, though
he’s optimistic that he can
make the most of whatever
chances are thrown his
way.
“My first year I’m just
hoping to get on the field
and help the team whenever
I can. I just want to be
able to help the team as a
freshman. The older guys
are going to get the opportunities
and I respect that.
I just need to trust the process
and help the team out
wherever I can.”
The Beavers struggled
in 2016, going 2-31 overall
while failing to win a
single conference game
and ending the season on a
21-game losing streak. An
arm like Messner’s, which
can touch around 90 miles
per hour with the fastball,
should be very useful.
“Starting would be great
but I’m intending to be
open to whatever,” he said.
