Icebox Derby empowers 

young girls with STEM 

NT freshman takes 

part in competition 

Alyssa Groh 

Assistant Editor 

NORTH SHORE COMMUNITY 

HEBREW SCHOOL 

Providing Your Children With: 

A Proud Jewish Experience 

Understanding of Their Heritage 

Personal Meaning 

When an old refrigerator 

stops working or families 

are ready for an upgrade, 

most people leave 

their old unit on the curb. 

But several young girls 

from throughout Chicagoland 

— including New 

Trier freshman Margaret 

Lin — have used these 

discarded appliances as 

part of a unique learning 

experience. 

On July 21, 30 young 

girls between ages 13- 

18 came together for the 

third annual ComEd Icebox 

Derby STEM competition, 

which challenges 

them to build fully functioning 

electric and solarpowered 

race cars over 

a six-week period while 

encouraging them to get 

involved in science, technology, 

engineering and 

mathematics. 

The idea to use refrigerators 

to build a car 

stemmed from ComEd’s 

refrigerator recycling 

program, according to 

ComEd communications 

manager Linsey Godbey. 

“Essentially, all old 

refrigerators use a lot of 

electricity and we encourage 

people to get rid 

of those for newer ones 

that are more energyefficient,” 

Godbey said. 

“ComEd will come pick 

up [old refrigerators] and 

give customers money for 

them.” 

This year the girls were 

asked to power the cars’ 

New Trier freshman Margaret Lin sits in her team’s 

derby car, named Naturally Driven, which she helped 

build for the ComEd Icebox Derby STEM competition. 

PHOTO SUBMITTED 

LED headlights, horns 

and two-way communications 

systems — used so 

drivers can communicate 

with their teams during 

the race — using two 30- 

watt solar panels. 

The race took place 

on Saturday, Aug. 13, 

at the Field Museum in 

Chicago. All participants 

received a $2,000 scholarship 

and the winning 

team at the race received 

an additional $1,000 and a 

MacBook Air. 

A female ComEd mentor, 

experienced in STEM 

fields, guided the competitors 

during the building 

phase of the competition. 

“We had amazing mentors 

who worked in the 

STEM field and experts 

who have worked with 

cars before,” Lin said. 

“We were in really good 

hands.” 

The participants were 

also given a guide on how 

to build the cars and an 

explanation behind each 

step. Each team followed 

a specific prototype to 

emulate. 

Lin’s team, “Naturally 

Driven,” named themselves 

after their team 

color, green, and their desire 

to stick with the “natural” 

or environmentally 

friendly theme. 

Their design included 

leaves coming out of the 

exhaust pipes instead of 

smoke to signify their 

theme. 

According to Lin, one 

of the biggest challenges 

Naturally Driven faced 

was learning how to incorporate 

the solar panels 

into the car. But personally, 

Lin challenged herself 

to learn the basic functions 

of tools, as she said 

she isn’t a handy person. 

ComEd designed the 

program to empower girls

Glencoe prepares to tackle 911 consolidation 

Action required for 

communities with 

populations less 

than 25,000 

Alexandra Greenwald 

Freelance Reporter 

Glencoe is among the 

communities affected by 

Public Act 99-0006, issued 

by the State to mandate 

the consolidation of 911 

systems in municipalities 

with fewer than 25,000 

residents. 

Affected communities 

were required to submit 

plans for consolidation 

to the State by July 1, although 

Glencoe has received 

an extension to 

submit its plan through 

November. Glencoe is 

working with Northfield, 

Winnetka and Kenilworth 

to develop a plan for consolidation. 

Among the consolidation 

options to be considered 

are a consolidated 

dispatch center shared between 

several communities 

or a contract-for-service 

agreement with a fifth 

community, according to 

Village Manager Philip 

Kiraly. 

The consolidation must 

be in effect by July 1, 2017. 

Glencoe Department of 

Public Safety Chief Cary 

Lewandowski said that the 

Village worked with Matrix 

Consulting to investigate 

consolidation options. 

The full report will be presented 

to the Village Board 

at a public Committee of 

the Whole meeting at 5:30 

p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 18. 

The act was adopted in 

anticipation of a “Next 

Generation” 911 system, 

which will feature texting, 

video calling and web capabilities, 

that will be implemented 

throughout the 

state in the near future. All 

Illinois communities must 

have Next Generationcompliant 

911 services by 

2020. 

Kiraly said that although 

the act required the Village 

to consolidate its 911 services 

sooner than they had 

anticipated, the move was 

already on the Village government’s 

radar. 

“I think it’s something 

that’s been on our list of 

things to consider, certainly,” 

Kiraly said. “The 

state action pushed us toward 

having to review it 

sooner than we may have 

otherwise, but I do think 

it’s something we would 

have been reviewing either 

way.” 

Both Kiraly and Lewandowski 

said that residents 

should not notice any major 

delays or other changes 

to the emergency and 911 

services that they receive 

during or after the consolidation. 

“I would imagine after 

we get through the first 

year or two of the growing 

pains, it should settle and 

hopefully be beneficial for 

everyone,” Lewandowski 

said. 

Lewandowski said that 

the full process of consolidation 

will likely take the 

entire allotted year because 

of the limited number of 

phone and radio service 

vendors available to work 

with the large number of 

communities affected by 

the act statewide. 

Glencoe, along with other small communities in Illinois, 

will have to consolidate its emergency services by July 

2017. 22nd Century Media File Photo 

Though the initial consolidation 

will likely incur 

fees, the action is expected 

to ultimately save money 

for the village, as costs 

like dispatcher salaries and 

technology updates can be 

shared among the participating 

communities. 

“Certainly it’s in our 

interest first and foremost 

that this life-saving function 

is serving its purpose 

and that we are ensuring 

that our residents have the 

service available to them,” 

Kiraly said. 

“But how you go about 

doing that is something 

that local government has 

taken a very active role 

in assessing. It’s getting 

harder to do what we do 

every day just simply because 

revenues aren’t what 

they used to be.”



Regina graduate meets president after writing letter 

Jeni Siegel, Editorial Intern 

After writing a letter to 

President Barack Obama 

on life growing up Muslim 

in America, Regina Dominican 

High School graduate 

Noor Abdelfattah was 

invited to the White House 

to meet with the president 

and attend a ceremony celebrating 

the Muslim holiday 

Eid al-Fitr on July 21. 

In Abdelfattah’s letter, 

she writes about the difficulties 

her father faced as 

a Muslim immigrant, the 

sacrifices her parents made 

for her and her siblings, 

and how being a Muslim 

in a Catholic high school 

allowed her to grow up 

open-minded. Abdelfattah 

goes on to thank Obama 

for his support toward

graduate of Regina 

Dominican, meets 

President Barack Obama 

on July 21 at the White 

House. Photo Submitted 

Muslims, especially during 

times of opposition, and for 

continuing the tradition of 

hosting an Iftar dinner at 

the White House. 

For Abdelfattah, the letter 

started as a way for her 

to express herself. 

“I knew the topic was 

something the president 

had his beliefs about, and I 

wanted to talk about my experiences 

since I can relate 

to it so much,” Abdelfattah 

said. “I was oblivious to 

the fact that I could end up 

meeting him.” 

It was Abdelfattah’s inspirational 

tone that set her 

letter apart from the thousands 

of messages the Office 

of Presidential Correspondence 

sorts through a 

day. Once the letter circulated 

the Office of Presidential 

Correspondence, they unanimously 

agreed to hand the 

letter over to the President, 

leading to her invitation to

At the ceremony, Abdelfattah 

was surrounded by 

fellow influential Muslims, 

including activists, religious 

leaders, government 

workers and people in the

met with the president 

and thanked him for everything 

he has done. 

“It was definitely an experience

New Trier grads open cryotherapy spa 

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 sub-zero 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 in June 

opened CryoPure Spa in 

Highland Park, located at 

1849 Green Bay Road.

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 

United States, 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 

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,” 

Paige said. “We’re just trying 

to help.”

THE HIGHLAND PARK LANDMARK 

Highland Park turns off 

three City-owned water 

fixtures after lead testing 

Highland Park has 

turned off three water fixtures 

due to elevated lead 

levels after the city initiated 

voluntary testing on 

all city facilities. 

The City shut one sink 

in the Highland Park 

Public Library, one sink 

in the Karger Center and 

one drinking fountain the 

Karger Center. 

The library sink, located 

in a bathroom not 

open to the public, tested 

as having a lead concentration 

of 97 parts per billion, 

and the sink in the 

Karger Center, located in 

the upstairs men’s restroom, 

tested at a lead concentration 

of 21 parts per 

billion, both unsatisfactory 

according to the federal 

Environmental Protection 

Agency’s standards. 

The third fixture shut 

off, a drinking fountain in 

a lower level hallway at 

the Karger Center, tested 

at seven parts per billion. 

That reading is satisfactory 

according to EPA guidelines, 

but the City still 

acted in shutting it down. 

“The water fountain 

only had seven parts per 

billion but we still had to 

shut that fixture down to 

be safe,” City Manager 

Ghida Neukirch said. 

After the lead crisis in 

Flint, Mich., cities have become 

hyperaware to issues 

of lead in water supplies. 

Because of this, Highland 

Park began proactively 

testing water samples from 

all City, school district and 

park district facilities. 

“We wanted to take a 

proactive measure to test 

public facilities for lead,” 

Neukirch said. “We have 

always operated in a manner 

where we conducted 

more than the state regulations 

required. We as a 

City are confident that our 

water distribution and production 

system meets standards.” 

According to City officials, 

the elevated lead levels 

are isolated to specific 

fixtures and are not reflective 

of the City’s water 

production or distribution 

system. Fixtures that failed 

testing will not be turned 

on again until the situation 

is fully fixed.

THE LAKE FOREST LEADER 

Sustainability plan pushes 

clean energy, recycling 

Lake Forest generates 

702 pounds of trash per 

resident each year, the second 

highest out of seven 

communities in the North 

Shore. 

On average, Lake Forest 

households produce 

21,571 kilowatt-hours of 

electricity annually, compared 

with 11,524 kwh in 

Lake County. 

These statistics, taken 

from a 2015 Daily North 

Shore study and a 2010 

Municipal Energy Profile, 

shed light on Lake Forest’s 

waste and its absence of an 

environmental action plan. 

But now, as a result of 

a community-wide effort, 

a draft of the City’s first 

sustainability plan is being 

proposed as an addition to 

the City’s strategic plan. 

“This is a really important 

piece that was missing 

[from the strategic 

plan],” Alderman Catherine 

Waldeck said at the 

City Council’s meeting on 

Aug. 1, where the council 

directed the draft to be 

brought before the plan 

commission. 

In 2013, the council 

approved the 2013-2018 

Lake Forest Strategic Plan, 

which included a goal to 

develop a sustainability 

plan. Two years later, the 

City asked the Lake Forest 

Collaborative for Environmental 

Leadership to help 

draft such a plan. 

The resulting sustainability 

plan is the product 

of more than a year of effort 

among multiple community 

groups, including 

the City of Lake Forest, 

Lake Forest College, Lake 

Forest Open Lands, and 

school districts 67 and 115. 

To begin putting a plan 

for Lake Forest together, 

sustainability plans from 

other Illinois communities, 

such as neighboring Highland 

Park and Northbrook, 

were analyzed. 

Eventually, six objectives 

of environmental 

stewardship were proposed, 

with goals and 

measurements of success 

accompanying each category. 

Those categories comprise: 

stormwater management 

and water use, ecosystem 

vitality and ravine 

conservation, waste management, 

renewable energy 

and energy efficiency, 

and transportation and air 

quality. 

In the plan’s current 

form, it does not include 

a specific action plan except 

for in its appendices, 

which Alderman Jack 

Reisenberg called a “peak 

under the tent” of a future 

implementation plan.

legislative races were uncontested. 

It is clear that politicians 

are choosing their voters 

rather than voters choosing 

their representatives. 

I am one of over 563,000 

Illinois voters who signed 

a petition for a citizen initiative 

that would provide 

for an independent commission 

to draw legislative 

maps and require a process 

that is transparent, impartial 

and fair.

Being a lifelong 

Northfield resident, 

I’ve always 

had a sense of pride for 

the small-town community 

that I grew up in. So, 

when I started my search 

for a summer internship 

where I could use the 

writing skills I learned 

as a professional writing 

major at Miami University, 

working at the local 

newspaper sounded like 

the perfect fit. Once I discovered 

the 22nd Century 

Media editorial internship, 

I knew it would be an opportunity 

to use my writing 

to express that pride 

and tell readers around 

the North Shore why they 

should be proud as well. 

While the title of 

“intern” usually implies 

completing menial tasks 

for the rest of the office, 

the editors at 22nd 

Century Media were sure 

to keep me busy with 

writing real news stories. 

I started off slowly, learning 

the basics of the paper 

by completing the school 

news section, police 

reports and obituaries. 

But, after my first story 

on St. Joseph’s annual 

block party was printed, 

one or two article ideas 

started getting thrown at 

me every week. 

The topic of each story 

was different, giving me 

the variety of experience 

I wanted to end my 

summer having. With 

each story, I got to honor 

a unique part of my community. 

I helped celebrate 

Wilmette Tailors and 

Cleaners’ 85th anniversary, 

congratulated 

Glenview resident Noor 

Abdelfattah on meeting 

President Obama and 

recognized the work the 

Little Garden Club of 

Wilmette does for the 

environment. I credited 

local restaurants for their 

standout food creations 

and learned about Loyola 

and New Trier’s intense 

field hockey programs. 

Tracking down the 

subjects of these stories 

wasn’t always easy. 

While some of the 

interviews took place in 

email chains and over the 

phone, many stories got 

me out of the office and 

into the homes, businesses 

and restaurants 

that I was writing about. 

For a story on the Actors 

Training Center’s Performance 

Intensive Musical 

Theatre program, I waited 

initiative is before the Illinois 

Supreme Court. 

The Court should uphold 

the rights of Illinois voters 

granted to them by the 

1970 constitution to change 

it through citizen initiative. 

It has been 22 years since 

they ruled on a citizen initiative. 

It is time for them to 

step up and let people have 

their vote on the Independent 

Map Amendment.

outside of Wilmette 

Theatre’s locked front 

doors for over an hour 

until I was pointed in the 

direction of the separate 

Actors Training Center 

entrance next-door, which 

had been unlocked for me 

the whole time. The cast 

and directors were quick 

to laugh off my mindless 

mistake, reminding 

me that members of this 

community are always 

waiting with their arms 

(and doors) wide open. 

As summer comes to a 

close, I couldn’t be more 

thankful for my time at 

22nd Century Media. I 

gained unbeatable journalistic 

knowledge and 

experiences and it’s all 

thanks to the editors who 

gladly showed me the

will definitely miss that

Glencoe native’s novel looks back on racist incident 

‘The Lynching 

Waltz’ revisits 

1947 Glencoe 

controversy 

Fouad Egbaria, Editor 

Some events in history 

stick with 

you forever. 

For Glencoe 

native 

Stephen L. 

Kanne, a racist 

incident 

that occurred Kanne 

in the community 

while he was a student 

at Central School stuck 

with him forever. 

“It was more than in my 

head,” he told The Anchor 

earlier this summer about 

his memory of the incident. 

“It was like a very heavy 

brick in a knapsack on my 

back which I carried with 

me throughout my life.” 

Kanne, 82, was so affected 

by the incident that 

he wrote his second novel, 

“The Lynching Waltz,” 

published in June, a work 

of historical fiction drawing 

from that incident in the 

fall of 1947. His work was 

well-received, so much so 

that Kanne was asked to 

be a presenter at this year’s 

Juneteenth celebration in 

Washington, D.C., an annual 

event celebrating the 

abolition of slavery in the 

United States. 

In the late 1940s, Glencoe 

youngsters, black and 

white, enjoyed Friday ballroom 

dance classes, called 

Fortnightly. The classes 

served as a fun departure 

from the regular routine, 

particularly in a time when 

boys and girls were separated 

at school assemblies and 

other functions, Kanne said. 

However, a dark cloud 

was cast over the dance 

floor by one decision, a decision 

that forced the community 

to make a choice. 

Then heading into eighth 

grade, Kanne recalled there 

were maybe six black students 

in the 80-student 

class at Central School — 

but as kids, he said none of 

them paid much attention 

to skin color. 

Skin color did become 

a talking point, however, 

when the instructor of the 

class (who was independent 

of the Glencoe school 

district), said that the black 

students would not be allowed 

to participate in the 

ballroom dancing classes, 

which took place in the 

ballroom above the Central 

School auditorium. 

“When this happened, it 

was like an A-bomb going 

off in Glencoe,” Kanne said. 

“It was really a big deal.” 

As a result, members of 

the community organized a 

meeting to decide what to 

do: whether the class should 

be allowed to continue, 

with the black students excluded, 

or, if it should be 

canceled. Ultimately, the 

class was discontinued, but 

the effects of the decision 

rippled onward in Kanne’s 

life. Kanne said he was unable 

to find documentation 

of that community meeting 

in Glencoe Historical Society 

archives or in archived 

news coverage — that, 

combined with the fact that 

the attendees of that meeting 

are all likely deceased, 

Glencoe native Stephen L. Kanne’s second novel, “The 

Lynching Waltz,” was published earlier this summer 

— a work of historical fiction, it draws from a racist 

incident that occurred in Glencoe during his youth. 

Image Submitted 

inspired Kanne to write a 

book based on the incident, 

but fictionalized. 

After later graduating 

from New Trier, then 

from Harvard University, 

Kanne worked as an Army 

journalist while stationed 

in France. He then got his 

law degree from Stanford 

University, later going on 

to practice real-estate law 

for three decades, moving 

to Los Angeles because he 

couldn’t handle the Midwestern 

winters, he joked. 

Through all his travels, 

he carried that fateful saga 

buried in Glencoe’s past 

with him.

at 71. Jane was generous 

and full of love. She 

had a wonderful sense of 

humor, a zeal for fun and 

laughter, and an amazing 

capacity to make people 

feel welcome and appreciated. 

All of these qualities 

shone through even as she 

struggled with dementia 

in later years. She never 

missed an opportunity to 

give someone a big hug 

and a smooch on the lips. 

Her passing leaves a huge 

hole in the lives of those 

she loved, but so much of 

her lives on in her children, 

grandchildren, and many

Holocaust survivor speaks in Glencoe 

Danielle Gensburg 

Freelance Reporter 

In one small room concealed 

by a wardrobe, 

13-year-old Estelle Laughlin 

hid with her family 

from German SS soldiers 

in the Warsaw Ghetto to 

escape being deported to 

extermination camps. 

In the 1.3-square-mile 

ghetto, where more than 

400,000 Jews from Warsaw, 

Poland, and surrounding 

areas were forced to 

live after German soldiers 

invaded and entered Poland, 

suffering from starvation, 

sickness and death 

happened daily. But the 

Jewish community continued 

to build a life for 

itself, and in the midst of 

the inconceivable, formed 

schools (holding secret 

classes for children), hospitals, 

refugee centers, 

public soup kitchens, secret 

libraries, and even a 

symphony orchestra. 

Laughlin, who is in her 

late 80s today, described 

the experience of living 

with her family in the 

Warsaw Ghetto, and later 

being transported to an 

extermination camp and 

two different concentration 

camps, before a small 

crowd at a private location 

in Glencoe Aug. 10. 

“To own a book was an 

act of defiance punishable 

by death,” Laughlin said. 

She remembers fondly 

how the small room in the 

ghetto where her family 

hid felt like a paradise, 

even in the middle of 

all the suffering around 

them, when her father 

would read to them, and 

she could escape into the 

world of those books. 

“The soul needs to be 

nurtured. Our ability to 

create is our godliness,” 

Laughlin said. 

As Laughlin and her 

family hid in a secret 

“The soul needs to be nurtured. 

Our ability to create is our godliness.” 

Estelle Laughlin—Holocaust survivor on her 

father reading to her and the rest of her family 

while hiding in the Warsaw Ghetto 

room, 300,000 ghetto residents 

were deported to the 

extermination camp, Treblinka 

II. In April 1943, 

German soldiers entered 

the ghetto to eliminate 

the 55,000-60,000 Jews 

who remained and send 

them to work or death 

camps. Laughlin’s father, 

who was part of a resistance 

movement within 

the ghetto, built a bunker 

where his family could 

hide while resistance 

fighters fought against the 

roundups. 

Laughlin described how 

people fought back during 

the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. 

“While we were in the 

bunker, fighting erupted 

in the streets. Freedom 

fighters ran out from the 

bunkers and out into the 

streets and fought the armored 

soldiers and tanks,” 

Laughlin said. 

But the bunker where 

Laughlin and her family 

hid was soon exposed by 

a bomb, as the SS began 

to destroy the ghetto, and 

she and her family were 

marched to a deportation 

station, loaded onto freight 

cars and sent to Lublin/ 

Majdanek. 

Laughlin describes 

how, upon arrival to the 

camp, she, her sister and 

her mother were separated 

from her father, who was 

killed in the gas chamber. 

They worked forced labor, 

moving turf from one 

place outside the camp to 

another, when Laughlin’s 

sister was badly beaten by 

a German guard, his in the 

barracks and was discovered. 

Her name was put on 

a list, and Laughlin and her 

mother switched places 

with two other women to 

be put on the list, believing 

they were all going to 

be sent to the gas chamber. 

Instead, Laughlin, her 

sister and her mother were 

transported to another 

concentration camp, Skarzysko, 

and later, Czestochowa, 

where they worked 

in different munitions factories 

and ultimately survived 

when Soviet forces 

liberated the camp in January 

1945. 

Laughlin, her mother 

and her sister moved to 

Bavaria and lived there until 

1947, when they moved 

to New York City. 

Marcia Fraerman, who 

has volunteered with the 

U.S. Holocaust Memorial 

Museum for many years, 

said Laughlin’s story was 

very inspiring. 

I’ve been volunteering 

with the U.S. Holocaust 

Memorial Museum for 

many years, and I volunteer 

for it because it’s very 

fulfilling, and I believe 

in the cause,” Fraerman 

said. “Estelle, today, was 

very enlightening when 

she talks about her story, 

which is very moving and 

sad and scary. But also her 

courage and her faith in 

humanity is very inspiring.”

From Page 17 

Lynching Waltz’ with me,” 

he said. “I always vowed 

to tell it, if in fact I felt I 

was able to do that. Writing 

contracts is a far cry from 

writing something people 

would enjoy reading. People 

don’t enjoy reading 

contracts.” 

He published his first 

novel, “The Furax Connection,” 

in 2009 and won 

an award for a short story, 

“My Auntie’s Wedding,” 

in the 2006 Stanford Fiction 

Contest. Those works 

served as “beta testers,” 

he said, to see if he could 

“write in a way that would 

engage readers.” 

The book features reallife 

characters, some of 

them attendees of that 1947 

meeting. One character, 

Christopher Wallace, is 

based off of Arthur Tatham, 

one of the residents who 

Kanne said led the charge in 

dismissing the Fortnightly 

instructor (named Amelia 

Polk in the book). The book 

also features a chapter about 

the Tuskegee Airmen and 

another about a slave who 

leads a mutiny and, eventually, 

becomes a lawyer and 

works to free countless others. 

The book comes back 

around to Glencoe and the 

community meeting in the 

final chapter. 

Kanne cited Harriet 

Beecher Stowe’s “Uncle 

Tom’s Cabin” as a major 

influence in writing “The 

Lynching Waltz,” and he 

hoped that his book and 

others like it can spawn 

a “21st century abolition 

movement” to eradicate 

racism. 

“It’s about time,” he said. 

“If we can put a man on the 

moon or stand up to cancer, 

this is an easy thing. All we 

have to do is start teaching 

our young people that it 

isn’t skin color that counts. 

That’s kind of why I wrote 

the book.”

Quick Bites 

Fresh spins on the egg hatch on the North Shore 

Staff Report 

Scrambled, poached, 

over easy or sunny-side 

up: There are plenty of 

ways to cook an egg. 

There are plenty of ways 

to present it, too. Whether 

in a sandwich, an omelet, 

eggs Benedict, or some 

other form, the egg is as 

versatile as the old chicken-or-the-egg 

question is 

confounding. 

Demonstrating the egg’s 

versatility, we scoured the 

North Shore for the best 

egg centric dishes, finding 

a Louisiana spin on the 

omelet, egg sandwiches 

served on croissants and 

bagels, and a traditional 

Mexican breakfast dish. 

Which came first, the 

chicken or the egg? The 

debate will rage on, but 

one thing is certain: Breakfast 

always comes first. 

And when it’s time for 

breakfast, eggs will probably 

be on the table. 

So, take a look at what 

eateries around the North 

Shore have to offer when it 

comes to the egg, a staple 

of the most important meal 

of the day. 

THE GLENCOE ANCHOR 

Baby spinach, Hook’s 

cheddar and egg sandwich 

— Garden View Cafe 

If breakfast is the most 

important meal of the day, 

you might as well make 

it the most delicious one, 

too. 

And if you’re looking 

for a filling, flavorful and 

healthful dish to start your 

day off right, the Chicago 

Botanic Garden’s Garden 

View Cafe offers several 

breakfast options that 

might be to your liking. 

For croissant connoisseurs, 

the cafe offers a

Groh/22nd Century Media 

croissant sandwich with 

sauteed baby spinach, 

Hook’s cheddar and broken-yolk 

egg, and comes 

served with a seasonal fruit 

salad ($8.99). Although the 

sandwich is only served on 

weekdays, it’s a “crowd 

pleaser,” Executive Chef 

Michael Schulte said. The 

sandwich has been on the 

menu for more than a year. 

The sandwich certainly 

is a good way to start the 

day. The fluffy croissant 

provides the perfect container 

for the sandwich ingredients, 

from the cheddar 

to the sauteed spinach 

and the crispy fried egg. 

The Garden View Cafe 

is located inside the Chicago 

Botanic Garden at 

1000 Lake Cook Road. 

The Cafe is open daily, 8 

a.m.-9 p.m. For more information,

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER 

Jambalaya omelet — 

Butterfield’s Pancake 

House, Northbrook 

There are so many different 

ways you can make 

eggs for breakfast, and 

Butterfield’s has perfected 

its jambalaya omelet to 

add a little spice to your 

morning. 

Butterfield’s offers an 

array of omelets but I 

couldn’t help myself from 

trying the jambalaya omelet 

($9.99). 

“The jambalaya omelet 

is different which is why 

it is so popular,” said Strati 

Panagakos, co-owner and 

manager of Butterfield’s. 

“It is a little bit on the 

spicy side.” 

This omelet was unlike 

anything I had ever had 

before. It’s topped with 

small pieces of andouille 

sausage and chicken and 

a sauce that gives a little 

kick and moisture to the 

eggs. The sauce combines 

brilliantly with the eggs 

but isn’t overpowering. 

I left breakfast feeling 

stuffed, as the omelet is 

paired with hash browns, 

fruit or grits, and a choice 

of toast, pancakes, biscuit 

or corn bread. 

Panagakos said their 

omelets are one of their 

most popular egg dishes, 

and you can tell why just 

by looking at the menu. 

People come to Butterfield’s 

for the egg dishes 

because of “the difference

breakfast, all on a fresh croissant. Fouad Egbaria/22nd

in our menu,” Panagakos 

said. “You can get things 

here that you can’t get other 

places.” 

If you are adventurous 

and like tasting unique 

things, head out to Butterfield’s 

to try their jambalaya 

omelet from 6 a.m.–3 

p.m. daily.

THE GLENVIEW LANTERN 

Greek omelet — The 

Greenwood Restaurant, 

Glenview 

The Greenwood Restaurant 

in Glenview is putting 

a Greek twist on a staple 

of the breakfast table. The 

Greek omelet from the 

family-operated diner features 

a taste of owner Mike 

Lemperis’ homeland in every 

bite. 

The omelet ($7.25) is 

made with fresh eggs, tomatoes, 

spinach, onions 

and, of course, Greek feta 

cheese. The fusion of flavors 

has made the dish one 

of the most popular items 

on the menu, according to 

Lemperis. 

“The Greek omelet is 

a favorite for people that 

like spinach and feta,” 

Lemperis said. “When you 

add those two in there together, 

it just tastes great.” 

After speaking to Lemperis, 

I had a chance to try 

the omelet for myself. As 

a vegetarian, I was thrilled 

to learn that one of the 

diner’s premier dishes is 

prepared without meat. 

Upon taking my first 

bite, I found that Lemperis’ 

description of the dish was 

accurate. The melted feta 

cheese complements the 

fresh spinach and tomatoes. 

The hash browns on 

the side served well as the 

flavorful omelet’s loyal 

companion. 

The Greenwood Restaurant, 

located at 910 Greenwood 

Road, Glenview, is 

open from 6 a.m.-3 p.m. 

Monday-Saturday and 7 

a.m.-2 p.m. on Sunday.

THE WILMETTE BEACON 

Chilaquiles verdes — Fuel, 

Wilmette 

Owner Tim Lenon offers 

food you can feel 

good about eating at his 

Wilmette restaurant, Fuel. 

Fuel, which stands for 

“food you eat locally,” was 

one of the first farm-to-table 

restaurants in Wilmette 

and has been bringing 

fresh food to the area for 

the past seven years. Their 

unique and wholesome 

breakfasts will start your 

morning off right, especially 

if you’re having one 

of their brunch specials: 

the chilaquiles verdes. 

The traditional Mexican 

breakfast comes out 

in a heaping bowl, filled to 

the brim with corn tortilla 

chips slathered in tomatillo 

sauce and topped with two 

poached eggs, tomatoes, 

onions, chicken, Chihuahua 

cheese, avocado, sour 

cream and cilantro. 

The dish is almost too 

pretty to eat, with the dollop 

of sour cream delicately 

placed on top of the 

artistically sliced avocado. 

But once you dive in, 

it’s hard to put your fork 

down. 

The chips are soft from 

being cooked in the bright 

and tangy green salsa, and 

soften even more once the 

yolk of the gently poached 

eggs pops open. Fresh tomatoes 

and onions bring a 

crunch to the flavor-packed 

meal, while the sour cream 

and avocado round out 

the heat that comes from 

the tomatillo sauce. The 

chicken mixed in adds a 

nourishing protein to the 

gluten-free breakfast. 

Fuel, 1222 Washington 

Court, is open from 8 a.m.- 

2 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday 

(breakfast/brunch), 10 

a.m.-2 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday 

(lunch) and 5-9 p.m. 

Thursday-Saturday (dinner).

The rising New Trier 

senior comes from an experienced 

sailing family. 

Do you have any 

superstitions before a 

regatta? 

I have two life jackets 

that I have to wear. If I do 

bad in one life jacket, then 

I switch to the other one. 

Sometimes I’ll do better 

with one at one regatta and 

then wear it at the next 

one, thinking it’s special 

and then if I don’t do well 

I go back to my other one. 

What’s something 

people don’t know 

about you? 

To tell you the truth, it’s 

probably that I sail. My 

good friends know I sail 

but other than them, probably 

most people don’t. At 

New Trier, sailing isn’t that 

prominent so it’s not like 

a lot of people come out 

and watch us compete and 

it’s a club sport so it’s not 

considered a top sport. 

What song or artist are 

you ashamed of liking? 

I used to be ashamed 

of liking Drake because 

everyone made fun of him, 

but now I have no shame 

at all. I listen to pretty 

mainstream music so I 

can’t really say anything is 

worthy of being ashamed 

about. 

What is your favorite 

team? 

It’s probably the Blackhawks 

but I don’t really 

watch a lot of sports on 

TV. It’s always nice to 

see the local teams win 

though. 

Why did you choose 

sailing? 

I’ve grown up around 

boats all my life. I have a 

waterskiing boat and my 

mom’s whole side of the 

family has always been 

sailing. When it came 

down to freshman year, I 

was playing lacrosse but it 

wasn’t really for me. My 

mom and dad suggested 

I try out for sailing and 

I’m so happy that I did. 

It was this whole world I 

didn’t know existed and 

ever since I started racing 

competitively I fell in love 

with it. 

What do you like best 

about sailing? 

I like how you utilize 

both strategy and physical 

tools. That’s something 

most people would be 

shocked to find out, that 

there’s a physical aspect to 

it. It’s probably one of the 

harder sports because you 

have to do both the physical 

and strategical tools. 

You have to know what 

you’re going up against 

and plan everything out. 

If you could play 

another sport, what 

would it be? 

I’d probably say lacrosse. 

I played it growing up and 

did it my freshman year. 

They’re really good too so 

that’d be a lot of fun.

What’s the best part 

about being a New 

Trier athlete? 

It’s got to be the prestige. 

New Trier is so good 

at so many things and 

everyone knows about 

the school. Sailing isn’t 

a “normal” sport at New 

Trier because it’s a club 

sport but it’s still cool to 

have that New Trier name 

associated with your sport. 

Is sailing something 

you want to continue 

after New Trier? 

I don’t think I’m going 

to continue in college but 

sailing is something that 

you can continue for the 

rest of your life. You can 

do it as you get older and 

I’m going to do it for the 

rest of my life. 

What’s the hardest 

part about sailing? 

One is that people 

don’t realize it’s hard. It’s 

frustrating when you tell 

your friends how hard it 

was and they make fun 

of you and laugh at you 

because they don’t realize 

it’s a sport. Also, that 

it’s an individual sport. 

Most teams you’re getting 

coached from the sidelines 

and getting subbed in and 

out but when you’re in 

the water, it’s just the two 

of you for the entire race. 

You’re forced to make decisions 

for the two of you. 

Everything riding on you 

and you don’t get help or 

timeouts during the race.

Trevs aim to keep rolling 

NT has finished 

second last 3 years 

michael wojtychiw, Sports 

Editor 

When it comes to the 

state tournament, New 

Trier has been a model of 

consistency. 

Over the past seven 

years, the Trevians have 

finished second five times, 

including each of the past 

three years, finishing behind 

Hinsdale Central each 

time. Last year, New Trier 

came the closest it had 

come to winning, losing 

by just three strokes to the 

Red Devils. 

“We just have to come 

out strong on Friday if we 

want to win,” New Trier 

coach Pete Drevline said. 

“We put too much pressure 

on ourselves to come 

out really well on Friday 

but always have a good 

Saturday. We just need to 

go out and have fun on Friday 

and relax a little more. 

The less pressure we put 

on ourselves, the better we 

play.” 

“We’re blessed to not 

have to depend on one guy 

at New Trier. We’ve got 

depth so if one person is 

having a down day, there’s 

someone else that can pick 

him up. That’s been our 

makeup the last couple 

years.” 

While the Trevians had 

a senior-laden squad last 

year, the 2016 edition of 

the roster will have a different 

look to it. Three of 

the team’s top five golfers 

last season graduated, including 

Matt Murlick and 

Andrew Huber, both of 

whom finished in the top 

nine in the state. Murlick 

tied for fourth in the state, 

while Huber tied for ninth 

with teammate Justin 

Choi. Choi returns for his 

senior season with two 

top-12 state finishes under 

his belt. 

“You can’t really replace 

those guys,” Drevline 

said. “We have a guy 

like Choi who is coming 

into his third year and can 

qualify for state because 

he’s that good of a golfer. 

And our team will be defined 

on whether we reload 

or rebuild. We’ve got guys 

waiting in the wings and 

there are some wide open 

positions so there are opportunities 

to have.” 

The Trevians expect to 

get back to that final weekend 

of the season. But to 

get there, the team knows 

it’s going to take hard 

work and dedication to 

getting better every week. 

“I expect to compete 

like we do every year,” 

Drevline said. “We’ve got 

Justin Choi, as well as a 

guy like Michael Adler returning. 

We’ve got a good 

number of younger guys 

who are ready to go and 

step up as well.” 

Expectations high for 

experienced Ramblers 

Boys golf has long been 

one of Loyola’s most successful 

sports. The program 

has qualified for the 

state finals as a team in 

four of the last six years 

and finished third in 2011. 

It missed going downstate 

by three strokes last season, 

but returns the majority 

of its starting lineup. 

“My expectations are 

high this year,” Loyola 

coach Tim Kane said. “We 

have a good, experienced 

team of good, solid players 

that I think can do some 

really good things on the 

golf course and I think we 

can have a good season.” 

Two of the Ramblers’ 

key returnees are senior 

Connor Prassas and junior 

Chip Savarie, who faced 

off for the Illinois State 

Junior Amateur Championship. 

Prassas ended up 

defeating Savarie in a onehole 

playoff to win the 

title. 

“Both of them are mature 

kids and I know Connor 

looks at that as a stepping 

stone for him that it 

now solidifies himself as 

one of the better players 

in the area. And I think 

the same thing with Chip,” 

Kane said. “The two of 

them use that to help with 

their confidence and that 

they know they’re capable 

of playing some high-level 

golf.” 

While Prassas and Savarie 

have gotten a lot of 

recognition lately, Loyola 

is stacked with talent 

throughout its lineup. The 

New Trier’s Justin Choi follows through on the first 

hole of his one-over par round of 36 on Sept. 10, 2015, 

against Evanston. 22nd Century Media File Photo 

Ramblers bring back four 

of their top six golfers from 

2015 and Kane thinks some 

of them are set to have 

breakout seasons. 

“One player that has 

grown a lot over the summer 

is Jack McGuire,” 

Kane said. “This summer 

he did very well and won 

and tied a couple of tournaments 

this summer. That 

I think is a good sign of 

growth that he’s finishing 

his rounds strongly.” 

Loyola will face its normal 

gauntlet of a schedule 

when it faces off in 

matches and invitationals 

with teams like Lake Forest, 

New Trier, Barrington, 

Providence and St. Viator, 

each of whom finished in 

the top 10 in 2015.

Alumni Spotlight 

Playing for the audience of one 

Faith powers NT 

grad Fauntleroy 

through obstacles 

Jack Vita, Editorial Intern 

Haley Fauntleroy’s story 

of blending her Christian 

faith with the sport that 

she loves, even in the most 

daring trials, has the potential 

to be an inspiration 

to many. 

A standout at New Trier, 

Fauntleroy helped lead the 

Trevians girls volleyball 

team to a second-place finish 

in the 2012 state playoffs. 

Fauntleroy earned 

numerous accolades as a 

high school athlete, including 

two All-Conference 

nods and a spot on the 

U.S. Junior National Team 

in 2012. 

However, Fauntleroy’s 

college career has been 

plagued by injuries since 

arriving at the University 

of Virginia. A stress fracture 

limited Fauntleroy to 

13 matches as a freshman 

in 2014. Months later, in 

the following preseason, 

she tore her labrum. 

“We knew when it happened 

that I was going to 

have surgery, it was just a 

matter of when,” Fauntleroy 

said. “I was urged to 

wait until the end of the 

season. It wasn’t the most 

ideal situation. After a lot 

of pain medications and 

shots, it still hurt. I was 

playing through the pain.” 

Due to the shoulder injury, 

Fauntleroy was forced 

to sit on several occasions. 

Though being a spectator 

was extremely difficult, 

she remains positive about 

her future and believes that 

in an unlikely way, the experience 

was rewarding. 

“The season itself was a 

different experience from 

one that I’ve ever had before,” 

Fauntleroy said. 

“But it was absolutely 

necessary for my personal 

growth and for my faith 

journey.” 

Time on the sidelines 

gave Fauntleroy a fresh 

perspective, which she believes 

will help her when 

she returns to action this 

fall. 

“Having to take time off 

taught me a lot of patience 

that I didn’t necessarily 

have before,” Fauntleroy 

said. “When it came down 

to it and when I was frustrated 

and thinking, ‘Why 

did this happen? This is 

my second year season. I 

need to be improving.’ I 

had to believe that this is 

God’s plan. This is definitely 

not my plan. I had 

to accept that better things 

were on their way and that 

he had a purpose. God 

wouldn’t just put this in 

my life if he didn’t know 

that something better was 

coming for me.” 

Fauntleroy grew up going 

to church every Sunday 

and attended a Christian 

organization for high 

schoolers called Young 

Life. It wasn’t until she got 

to Virginia, however, that 

her faith became most important 

to her. 

“Actually it was through 

New Trier grad Haley Fauntleroy (right) competes in a 

match for the University of Virginia. Kelsey Grant/UVA 

Media Relations 

this spring and my winter 

retreat with Athletes in 

Action,” Fauntleroy said. 

“They really preached to 

me the idea of worshiping 

God to me through your 

sport. And it made sense. I 

saw how God could really 

be a part of my life and 

my sport. God took on so 

much more of a meaning 

to my life.” 

This year she will be 

playing with a new focus. 

“If I told you my first 

year where my motivation 

was coming from, 

it was coming from my 

teammates, coming from 

my coaches and coming 

from me,” Fauntleroy 

said. “This is going to be 

a different type of season. 

Playing my sport to glorify 

God is something that is 

new to me. ... I’m hoping 

that after all this is said and 

done, this new motivation 

is going to take me to a 

higher level that I haven’t 

seen before.”

Girls Golf 

Ramblers looking for elusive top prize 

LA, NT trying to 

bring title to the 

North Shore 

Michael Wojtychiw 

Sports Editor 

Loyola girls golf is in 

the midst of its greatest run 

in program history. The 

Ramblers have finished 

second in the state for 

three consecutive seasons, 

finishing behind Hinsdale 

Central for the last two 

seasons. 

“We’ve had a lot of girls 

with talent and have a good 

number of younger players 

coming through the 

system so we’re going to 

have the depth to compete 

again this year,” Loyola 

coach Heather Penn said. 

“With each experience of 

finishing second, we learn 

a little bit more and we can 

grow to that next level to 

get over that hump.” 

Loyola brings back three 

of its top four golfers from 

last season, including junior 

Nina Rutkowski, who 

finished 13th in the state 

last season, and senior Margaret 

Hickey, who finished 

tied for 16th. Another returnee, 

Kelli McCabe, finished 

40th in the state. 

“I think having finished 

in second, everyone’s expectation 

is to get over 

that hump and win a state 

championship,” Penn said. 

With the talent and experience 

we have we’re in a 

good spot.” 

Despite the returnees, 

having to replace the experience 

of those seniors last 

season will be key to the 

Ramblers’ success. 

“We’re lucky we have 

our captains, who have 

been playing with us since 

their freshman year and 

both Margaret and Kelli 

were on that team last year 

so they have the experience 

and know what it’s 

about and ready to lead the 

team.” 

To prepare her squad for 

the state tournament, Penn 

loaded her team’s schedule 

with teams who will 

help push the team to be 

its best. 

“The exposure to the 

schools and teams they get 

is always key,” Penn said. 

“The more experience 

they have playing against 

schools they’re going to 

compete against at the end 

of the year, it helps build 

confidence and helps ready 

them to be prepared to face 

the best and see where they 

stand.” 

Trevs aim to keep longrunning 

top-5 streak going 

The New Trier girls golf 

team has had quite the 

streak of success. 

For the past eight years, 

New Trier has finished in 

the top five in the state, including 

two state titles. 

The team looks to continue 

that success this year 

as it brings back four of its 

top six golfers from last 

season, each of whom was 

an underclassman in 2015. 

Three of those four were 

playing their first year of 

high school golf as freshmen. 

“The experience is huge 

because any time you can 

get underclassmen participating 

in the state tournament 

and then qualifying 

to compete at state, it’s a 

huge experience boost,” 

New Trier coach Scott 

Fricke said. 

Something that has 

helped the Trevians be so 

successful has been their 

dedication to getting onto 

the golf course, even in the 

offseason. The girls on the 

team know that if they are 

to improve on their state 

finishes, more time on the 

course is vital. 

“Rachel Reed is going 

on her third year on varsity 

and is probably going to be 

our No. 2 golfer and Lizzie 

Kenter and Abbie Kaestle, 

both of whom came up last 

season had great summers 

and they’re getting better 

and better every day,” 

Fricke said. 

While teams may have 

looked at last year’s New 

Trier squad a little differently 

because of its youth, 

people won’t be making 

the mistake of overlooking 

the Trevians in 2016. 

As witnessed by last 

year’s squad, New Trier 

isn’t afraid to bring freshmen 

up to the varsity in 

their first season, something 

that Fricke says is 

a great advantage for the 

Trevians to have. 

“The kids who have the 

tournament experience 

when they come into high 

school are ready to compete 

at a higher level,” 

Fricke said. “Golf is a 

game where the scores are 

what talk and if we have 

a freshman or sophomore 

who [is] shooting well, the 

they’re going to get those 

opportunities. We’ll give 

kids opportunities if their 

schools tell us they deserve 

them and when you get to 

the state tournament, for 

kids who have never been 

there before, it’s a nervewracking 

experience. To 

go through those situations 

is very beneficial.” 

New Trier starts conference 

play right away and 

will have played five conference 

matches before the 

calendar hits September. 

They’re scheduled to face 

Glenbrook North on Monday, 

Aug. 22, in Winnetka. 

Entries due 5 p.m.

Making a run for it 

Trio of residents, 

backfield mates look to 

leave mark as seniors 

Fouad Egbaria, Editor 

Look up and down the 2016 

New Trier football roster and 

you won’t see Glencoe heavily 

represented — that is, until you 

get to the offensive backfield. 

Seniors Francis Fay, Jake Lowell 

and Max Rosenthal, all of 

Glencoe, helped pace the Trevians 

offensive attack in 2015 and 

are poised to do so again this 

fall. Rosenthal regularly put his 

head down as the north-south 

power back while Fay served as 

a speedy change-of-pace back. 

From his fullback position, 

Lowell — also an accomplished 

wrestler — paves the way for his 

fellow Glencoe residents, who as 

kids grew their love of the game 

playing on the field by Central 

School and at the Takiff Center. 

“Central School, that’s where 

our summer camps started,” 

Rosenthal said after the morning 

practice session Aug. 10. “When 

we were little, just trying on the 

helmet the first time and getting 

the first hits out there, I think 

that’s kind of really where it all 

began on that grass field. 

“Sometimes when Francis 

and Jake and I drive home, because 

we usually ride together, 

we drive by that field and we say 

‘That’s where it all began.’ ” 

Lowell, the deadpanning 

jokester of the group, said he and 

Rosenthal often played catch before 

practices to pass the time. 

“He used to throw bombs before 

practice,” Lowell said. “I 

would just run as far as I could 

and he would just throw absolute 

bombs, it was crazy. I would 

catch it because I was an amazing 

athlete — and still am.” 

In the fall, they would rush to 

get to Takiff for practices after 

school, sometimes getting there 

more than an hour early. 

“That’s roots,” Fay said. “That 

goes back a long way. To see 

where we are now, it’s pretty remarkable.” 

In addition to playing house 

league baseball together, the trio 

cut their teeth as youngsters on 

the gridiron with what was then 

the Glencoe Trevians, first playing 

together as fourth-graders. At 

the start, Lowell called the shots 

at quarterback before moving to 

fullback and linebacker the following 

year (last season, he also 

played at defensive end). Rosenthal 

also got his start at fullback 

and linebacker. 

Fast forward seven years later, 

to last season, when the Trevians 

had to replace productive 

tailback Kevin Mulhern, who 

ran for 1,229 yards and tallied 

13 touchdowns in 2014. The offense 

didn’t miss a beat last year, 

however, often powered down 

the field by the Glencoe trio. 

It didn’t take long for them to 

realize what they had. In fact, 

they knew by the end of the season 

opener, a 28-14 home victory. 

“I think it was after the York 

game, that’s kind of when, even 

right after the whistle blew, I 

think when we headed over to 

the sidelines we realized we do 

have a Glencoe-dominated backfield,” 

Rosenthal said. 

In that win, Fay broke open a 

counter play to the left side, running 

63 yards for a score. 

“Fay ran through a huge hole, 

scored, pointed to the student 

section,” Lowell said. “That was 

pretty cool. I got chills down my 

back.” 

Given the respective populations 

of New Trier Township 

communities, it’s not surprising 

that Glencoe typically doesn’t 

produce as many football players 

as Winnetka or Wilmette 

(which boasts a population approximately 

three times that 

of Glencoe). That only makes 

three Glencoe residents in one 

backfield even more notable. 

Seniors (left to right) Francis Fay, Jake Lowell and Max Rosenthal, 

all of Glencoe, will once again be major contributors for the New 

Trier football team in 2016. In addition to playing on the defensive 

side of the ball, all three play in the offensive backfield. Fouad 

Egbaria/22nd Century Media 

“Sometimes when Francis and Jake and 

I drive home, because we usually ride 

together, we drive by that field and we 

say ‘That’s where it all began.’” 

Max Rosenthal—New Trier running back on driving past 

Central School with his fellow teammates and Glencoe 

residents, Francis Fay and Jake Lowell 

The Trevians have recently had 

strong running backs from other 

towns, including 2005 grad Matt 

Kelly, of Kenilworth, and Mulhern, 

of Winnetka. Coach Brian 

Doll, entering his third year at 

the helm, credited the area youth 

programs, including the newly 

merged Junior Trevians, the Kenilworth 

Rebels and the Glencoe-based 

North Shore Griffins. 

“They’ve grown up and they 

had some great coaches,” Doll 

said of the backfield trio. “It’s 

nice to see them all together, 

they’re really close friends. ... 

They’ve stayed close throughout 

high school. It is special to them, 

it means a lot that they’re [in] 

that backfield together.” 

Coming off of an eight-win 

regular season — followed by a 

postseason win before ultimately 

falling at Homewood-Flossmoor 

in the second round — the group 

knows it has to help lead the 

way in order to continue the program’s 

growth. They won’t have 

to do it alone, of course, as quarterback 

Clay Czyzynski, also 

a senior, will start for the third 

consecutive season. 

Each member of the Glencoe 

trio leads, but in his own way. 

Fay and Rosenthal, for example, 

are vocal leaders. Also a cornerback, 

Fay said he enjoys working 

with fellow defensive backs and 

teaching them the finer points of 

a difficult position. Rosenthal, 

too, can often be heard from afar 

as he makes calls from his linebacker 

position. Lowell, on the 

other hand, said he is a “one-onone 

type of guy,” a fitting characterization 

for a position that 

often has him sizing up a single 

linebacker in the hole. 

“Jake is a no-nonsense type 

of kid,” Doll said. “He’s a really 

tough kid who will run through a 

wall for you. That’s kind of what 

he does every day in practice. It 

really helps some of our younger 

guys quickly get acclimated to 

varsity.” 

With kickoff to the 2016 season 

just over a week away, the 

seniors checked off their goals, 

which include a long playoff run 

and a win against Maine South, 

which hasn’t dropped a Central 

Suburban League South game 

since 2001. The schedule also 

gets a little tougher with the addition 

of Mid-Suburban League 

foes Palatine and Fremd. Last 

season, Palatine reached the 

Class 8A semifinals, where they 

were edged, 24-22, by eventual 

state champion Loyola Academy. 

First, though, they’re focused 

on their Week 1 trip to Elmhurst 

against York. As for Doll, he’s 

simply enjoying the time left 

with this group of seniors. 

“They’re awesome,” he said. 

“I don’t want to talk about the 

end of the season with them because 

I’m just living it up having 

them all there for another year.” 

Whatever happens this season, 

the three backfield mates are in 

agreement: They want to leave a 

legacy for future Glencoe athletes 

at New Trier. To this day, they still 

frequent Little Red Hen, where 

they used to run around as little 

kids, and say hello to co-owners 

Lisa and Jim Ryba. 

Now, as seniors, they hope 

to influence the young Glencoe 

kids you might find running 

around the Vernon Avenue eatery 

today. 

“We’re really trying to set an 

example for some younger guys 

in Glencoe, kind of looking up to 

not only athletes at New Trier but 

athletes that come out of Central 

School and the [school] district ... 

kind of motivating them to come 

into New Trier,” Rosenthal said. 

“I know Glencoe is a small town 

compared to [Wilmette and Winnetka] 

but you can still produce 

athletes and you can still make 

a name for yourself at New Trier 

and not get lost in the school. 

“Definitely that’s something 

we want [to do], we want to give 

a shoutout to all of the kids in 

Glencoe.”

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 familiar with 

modern players — many 

whom 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 

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 majorleague 

pitchers have had 

the procedure, as have 15 

percent of current minorleague 

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 rulebooks for 16 

high-school sports, is using 

guidelines set by USA 

Baseball as a guideline, 

but 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 

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 damaging than 

a 105-pitch outing. 

STATS LLC, a sports 

technology company 

based in Northbrook, has 

been keeping track of 

pitch counts in the pros 

for a number of years. According 

to data through 

2011, 125-plus pitch 

counts hit a high of 212 in 

1998, but dipped as low as 

14 in 2007. 

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

pitches in a game

— According to STATS LLC 

your arm hurts you should

enough to make your own 

decisions when you’re at 

that age.” 

Allen admits that having 

pitch count restrictions 

takes emotion out of 

the game when it comes to 

pulling a pitcher, which he 

thinks can be beneficial. 

“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.”
