Library’s $5M expansion to rely on donations 

Kirsten Keller, Editor 

The Lake Bluff Public Library 

is inching closer to a long-awaited 

addition to be put on the west 

side of the library, adding space 

for more seating, improved accessibility 

and better acoustics. 

The Library Board recently 

brought on Ter Molen, Watkins 

& Brandt to conduct a feasibility 

study to determine whether there 

are sufficient philanthropic options 

to fund the $5 million project. 

The board wants most of the 

funding to come from donations. 

“We are very aware that the financial 

climate in the state of Illinois 

is not great right now,” Library 

Director Eric Bailey said. 

“There’s certainly a lot of concern 

related to property taxes, 

and we’re very aware of that.” 

“Right now we’re focused on

Family Vacation Photo Contest 

Summer pandamonium 

Shasta 

The Melin Family, 

Lake Forest 

Shasta was rescued 

from a parking lot 

in Georgia 14 years 

ago. We think she is 

a 15-year-old lab, chow and beagle mix. She is a 

very calm dog now, but she once was so afraid of 

water she would hide under the bed every time the 

shower was turned on! She is extremely loyal and 

will wait for her family outside of stores without 

being tied up. She has driven cross-country twice, 

and through much of Mexico and Canada. Her 

puppy face means she makes friends wherever 

she goes!

From Page 3 

the big question of whether 

the funding is going to 

be there,” he added. 

Over the next five 

months, the consulting 

group will conduct interviews 

to determine 

potential donors. Bailey 

foresees private philanthropists 

contributing the 

majority of the funding. 

If the funding is there, 

the next step will be marketing 

the plan to prospective 

donors. But, completion 

of the project is still 

years down the line. 

“If everything goes as 

Commonwealth Edison 

filed a petition with the 

Illinois Commerce Commission 

on Aug. 26 in an 

effort to create a “pathway 

that will lead to more options” 

in regards to smart 

meters, said Mike McMahan, 

vice president of advanced 

meter infrastructure 

implementation at 

ComEd. 

The petition’s filing was 

spurred by recent resolutions 

approved in three 

Illinois towns, including 

Lake Forest and Lake 

Bluff, asking the electric 

utility to allow residents to 

permanently opt out of its 

smart meter program. 

Currently, residents can 

only defer installation to 

Dec. 31, 2019. 

The petition asks for the 

current deferral period to be 

extended to June 30, 2022, 

and calls for an investigation 

starting in 2020 into 

we hope it will, by the end 

of four to five years, we 

should be in those new facilities,” 

Bailey said. 

The proposed expansion 

will be added to the west 

side of the building, jutting 

off the library’s former entrance. 

It will add 3,100 

square feet — a 33 percent 

increase to the library’s 

current footprint. 

A need for expansion has 

been shown in a 34 percent 

increase in patrons over the 

past decade, according to 

data from the library. More 

programming, which has 

increased by 27 percent 

over the same time period, 

is a large factor in increasing 

visitors, Bailey said. 

The library’s last renovation, 

in 2011, combined 

the entrance to both the 

library and the Lake Bluff 

History Museum, which 

shares the building. Decades-old 

carpeting was 

also replaced, creating a 

lighter feel to the library. 

In a 2016 survey, 50 percent 

of respondents said 

either they’d like more 

space in the library or they 

requested improvements 

that are not possible in the 

current building. 

The expansion plan 

includes reworking the 

whole main floor of the 

library, with the addition 

other long-term solutions. 

ComEd is in the midst 

of installing smart meters 

across northern Illinois. 

Installation completion is 

scheduled for the end of 

2019, after which data can 

be gathered and used to 

look into alternatives. 

“By the middle of 2020, 

of group meeting rooms, 

space for teenagers, more 

seating, a quiet reading 

area, more accessible 

bookshelves and methods 

to prevent the traveling 

of sound throughout the 

space. 

The addition will blend 

in to the look of the current 

building and will add 

windows facing Scranton 

Avenue, both on the top of 

the sloped roof and on the 

side wall — aspects that 

will help the library appear 

more open, rather than the 

sloping roof be the focal 

point of the library to passersby. 

“The building we have 

visit us online at www.LAKEFORESTLEADER.com 

we’ll have a much better 

feel for what the system 

impact is of customers 

who have deferred smart 

meters,” McMahan said. 

Should the Illinois Commerce 

Commission take 

no action within 45 days 

of the petition’s filing, the 

petition will pass into law. 

now fits really nicely with 

the architecture in downtown, 

and that is very important 

to us and is not 

something that we want to 

change,” Bailey said. “But 

it does leave us a little bit 

turtled.” 

Bailey’s overall focus is 

to engage the community 

and keep bringing in more 

patrons. 

“Lake Bluff really is 

such an involved community,” 

he said. “So for 

us, either in services or 

space, to emphasize being 

cut off from the rest of the 

community doesn’t make 

sense.” 

LFHS shuts 

down 2 sinks, 

3 fountains 


Three drinking fountains 

at Lake Forest High 

School’s East Campus 

have been shut down after 

testing showed the fountains 

to have lead levels of 

between 17.3-19 parts per 

billion. The Environmental 

Protection Agency set 

acceptable lead levels at 

15 parts per billion. 

The fountains are located 

outside rooms 14, 109 

and 203. 

As a precaution, two 

sinks at West Campus that 

tested between 2-15 parts 

per billion have also been 

shut down. The EPA does 

not supply counts for water 

samples with lead levels 

lower than two parts 

per billion. 

District 115 Superintendent 

Mike Simeck sent a 

notice on Aug. 30 notifying 

parents the fountains 

and sinks will remain shut 

down until lead levels are 

lowered. 

McHenry Analytical Water 

Laboratory conducted 

testing at both campuses 

over the summer and covered 

all consumable water

Community-wide survey will 

solicit resident input 

About every five years the 

City of Lake Forest conducts 

a resident survey to gain insight 

on a wide range of issues 

and services provided. Survey 

results provide direction to 

the Lake Forest City Council, 

boards and staff as decisions 

are made affecting the Lake 

Forest community. 

The City has retained the 

National Research Center to 

develop the 2016 questionnaire, 

tabulate the results and 

analyze the results. 

The survey will be mailed to 

all Lake Forest households on 

Sept. 9, and a link will be provided 

on www.cityoflakeforest.com. 

Residents will have 

until Oct. 17 to complete the 

survey. 

To ensure the survey results 

are fully representative of residents’ 

opinions, every household 

is asked to complete a 

questionnaire. Resident feedback

THE HIGHLAND PARK LANDMARK 

Highland Park foundation 

donates life-saving drug to 

first responders in Chicago 

area 

For the past two years 

the Jordan Michael Filler 

Foundation, a nonprofit in 

Highland Park founded by 

the Filler family — who lost 

their 23-year-old son, Jordan, 

to a heroin overdose in 

2014 — has worked hard to 

raise awareness of drug addiction, 

specifically opioid 

abuse, in honor of Jordan’s 

memory. 

The foundation implemented 

education programs 

focusing on substance abuse 

in middle and high schools 

in Highland Park and Deerfield. 

It also initiated an 

anonymous “Text a Tip” 

program in 2015 that allows 

students to send anonymous 

campaign, conducts a strategic 

planning session in February 

2017 and begins preparation 

of next year’s budget. 

Each survey sent by mail 

will include a postage-paid return 

envelope. Completed surveys 

will be returned directly 

to the consultant for anonymity, 

and surveys submitted 

online will also maintain complete 

anonymity. The City’s 

last community-wide survey, 

conducted in 2011, had more 

than a 20 percent response 

rate. 

Community members will 

have a chance to rank and provide 

input on: 

• The quality of life in Lake 

Forest — as a place to live, 

raise children, work, retire 

• Lake Forest characteristics, 

including safety, education 

and the natural environment 

• City services, such as police, 

fire and stormwater management 

NRC will tabulate the results 

and make a presentation 

texts 24/7 on behalf of their 

friends struggling with drug 

addiction to a secure number 

and receive a response from 

local experts in adolescent 

addiction and mental health. 

The foundation has also 

worked with Congress, 

health care and law enforcement 

professionals to reform 

HIPAA privacy laws so doctors 

and mental health professionals 

are not afraid to 

communicate openly and 

disclose medical information 

to the families of kids 

who are being treated for 

drug addiction, so they can 

work together to find a solution. 

The foundation’s most recent 

initiative, however, has 

already helped save hundreds 

of lives in the Chicago 

area, and one life per day in 

Lake County alone, in 2016.

LFHS marching 

band performs 

at home opener 


The Scouts took the field 

for the first time of the season 

on Friday, Sept. 2 — 

not only those with shoulder 

pads and helmets, but 

those with lyres and instruments. 

Per tradition, the Lake 

Forest High School marching 

band, a combination of 

approximately 120 players 

in Wind Ensemble and 

Symphonic Band, played 

the Lake Forest High 

School fight song and the 

national anthem during 

pregame. Halftime included 

two pieces chosen 

by students that will rotate 

each home game. 

The band marched into 

an “LF” formation during 

halftime, a set that is new 

this year, said assistant director 

Brian O’Connor. 

During an Aug. 31 rehearsal 

prior to the home 

opener, Megan Mc- 

Cabe conducted the band 

through classics “Walking 

on Sunshine” and “Brown 

Eyed Girls.” 

“I love the energy everyone 

has,” said the senior 

who is in her second year 

as drum major, a role she 

shares with junior Kristen 

Coughlan. 

Coughlan is entering her 

first year as drum major. 

She, like McCabe, used to 

play flute in the band. 

“This leadership role is 

a whole new important experience,” 

Coughlan said. 

The band will next perform 

at the Homecoming 

game on Sept. 23.

Deer Path Middle School-West 

appoints new assistant principal 

Danielle Gensburg 

Freelance Reporter 

Mike Field 

has been appointed 

as 

the new assistant 

principal 

at Deer 

Path Middle 

School-West Field 

in Lake Forest. 

Field is a 12-year educator, 

with experience both 

in and out of the classroom 

working with administrators, 

teachers and students 

in the areas of social studies 

and technology. 

“What I enjoy most 

about education is connecting 

with people — teachers 

and students — and learning 

about their passions and 

finding ways in which I can 

help support them in furthering 

their passions and 

truly becoming great learners,” 

Field said. 

The Lake Forest Elementary 

School District 

67 Board of Education appointed 

Field for the position 

this summer. He will 

replace Paul Suminski, 

who recently accepted a 

position as the new principal 

of Lincoln Middle 

School in Mount Prospect. 

“Mr. Field comes to 

District 67 and Deer Path 

Middle School with wellrounded 

experiences in education, 

and from those who 

know him both personally 

and professionally, we are 

very fortunate to have him 

join our staff,” DeVore said 

in a press release issued by 

District 67 in late August. 

Field has an extensive 

background in education, 

having worked at IC Catholic 

Prep in Elmhurst, Ill., for 

seven years, the first three 

as a social studies teacher 

and coach and the last four 

as social studies department 

chair; Loyola Academy in 

Wilmette for three years, 

where he taught social studies 

classes and worked as 

an instructional technology 

leader, helping teachers 

learn how to use and 

benefit from technology in 

the classroom; and Glenbrook 

High School District 

225 in Glenview and Northbrook, 

where he worked 

mainly with administrators 

and teachers as director of 

instructional technology 

and shaped how the district 

implemented technology in 

the classroom. 

Field said that after 

working in Glenbrook 

High School District 225’s 

administrative office, he 

missed being in a school 

building and engaging directly 

with both students 

and teachers. So, when he 

was offered the assistant 

principal position at Deer 

Path Middle School-West, 

he gladly accepted. 

“I knew that being in a 

building and connecting 

with teachers and students 

was one of the reasons why 

I got into education in the 

first place,” Field said. 

Wood for good 

LFHS seniors craft 

boards to fund 

college education 

Alan P. Henry 


Walt Disney was once 

asked what it takes to 

kickstart a career as a successful 

entrepreneur. His 

answer: “The way to get 

started is to quit talking 

and begin doing.” 

Lake Forest High 

School seniors Jack Armstrong 

and Matthew Barrett, 

friends since second 

grade, began channeling 

that advice three years 

ago, when they took over 

operation of the school’s 

football and basketball 

concessions stands. 

This summer, the pair 

of 17-year-old budding 

entrepreneurs kicked it 

up another notch, creating 

Boards for Education. 

Building on skills they 

learned in wood shop class 

in ninth grade, the pair 

makes high-end, affordable 

wood cutting boards, 

butcher blocks and trays. 

“We’ve always loved 

woodworking,” Armstrong 

said. “People always like 

cutting boards. Everyone 

has them in their home. We 

realized we could make a 

business out of this.” 

The boards, which can 

be either end grain or 

edge grain, are crafted 

from varying combinations 

of walnut, cherry, 

oak, maple, paducah from 

Africa, purple heart from 

South America, and Honduran 

and African mahogany. 

Much of their 

wood is purchased from 

Owl Hardwood Lumber in 

Des Plaines. Products are 

priced between $20 and 

$165. Similar high-quality 

Jack Armstrong (left) and Matthew Barrett, seniors at 

Lake Forest High School, sell wood cutting boards to 

help fund their college education. Alan P. Henry/22nd 

Century Media 

boards cost substantially 

more in stores. 

To date, they have netted 

a profit of about $2,500, 

selling the boards at fairs 

and farmers markets. 

From Sept. 4-5, they will 

be selling new designs 

at the Lake Forest-Lake 

Bluff Artisan Guild Fall 

Fair in downtown Lake 

Forest. 

Each plans to use those 

profits to help fund their 

college education. 

“Our entire lives, our 

parents have instilled in us 

the value of hard work,” 

said Barrett, who serves 

on the executive committee 

for the National Honor 

Society, helps coordinate 

volunteer opportunities 

for students and is in the 

squash club. 

In college, he hopes to 

study construction management 

or mechanical 

engineering. His college 

choices are currently Wisconsin-Madison, 

Washington 

University, Vanderbilt 

and Northwestern. 

Like Barrett, Armstrong 

has a strong work ethic. 

“I am working for what 

I have. I am entitled to absolutely 

nothing,” he said. 

Armstrong is casting a 

college eye eastward toward 

College of William 

and Mary, College of the 

Holy Cross and George 

Washington University. 

He is involved with Young 

Idea, the school art and 

literary magazine, Model 

United Nations, freshman 

mentoring and the squash 

club. He is incoming captain 

of the varsity tennis 

team, on which he has 

played for four years, and 

he plays in USTA tournaments 

as well. He is also a 

volunteer for Cong. Robert 

Dold. 

Both Barrett and Armstrong 

are writing their 

college essays on their 

experiences operating 

Boards of Education. 

“I’ve learned it’s not 

about the money I’ve 

made,” Armstrong said. 

“It’s about the stories I’ve 

shared with people, the 

connections I’ve made and 

the relationships I have 

formed.”

You Know Neen 

Parents of high school seniors, 

remember to breathe 

Nina Vallone 

Guest Columnist 

ACT and Common 

Apps and the 

FAFSA, oh my. 

Early action, early decision, 

nonbinding. 

Are you with me? If 

not, I won’t be offended. 

If you’re still here, you are 

probably parents of high 

school seniors. 

It seems wherever I 

turn — Sunset, the library, 

Starbucks and even Facebook 

— fellow parents are 

talking about the college 

application process and 

how many arguments 

are taking place in their 

households due to all the 

deadlines. 

Parents of grown 

children say things like 

“Don’t worry, you’ll 

figure it out.” Parents of 

recent high school graduates 

give you a look of 

empathy and yes, even 

pity. While the reasonable 

part of me understands 

this, it can still be a challenge 

when going through 

this the first time. 

Remember when we 

parent folk applied to 

college back in 1987? We 

took the ACT once, met 

with our counselor, sent 

in a few applications and 

waited for the mail. 

It’s not as simple now. 

To help better understand 

this realm of college 

crazy, Hubs and I attended 

Lake Forest High School’s 

senior parent college application 

workshop last 

week. 

Friends, Lake Foresters, 

moms and dads: Go 

to these meetings. Read 

the handouts. It helps. So. 

Much. There are a few 

key pieces I took away 

from the seminar. 

The first is if you are an 

organizational freak, or 

even a wannabe organizational 

freak (me!), it will 

serve you well to learn a 

little bit about college applications 

the spring/summer 

before your kiddo is 

a senior. Become familiar 

with the vernacular, have 

an understanding of application 

deadlines and email 

your kiddos’ counselor to 

fill in the blanks. 

Go to the seminars the 

high school offers. They 

provide a detailed list of 

information, deadlines and 

“how-tos.” 

Next? Have a chat, not 

a talk or lecture or discussion 

— a chat — with 

your kiddo about what the 

process will entail. Just 

because you have a chat 

does NOT, I repeat, does 

NOT guarantee you will 

be heard or your guidelines 

followed. 

They want to be seniors. 

They don’t want to think 

about the Common App. 

This is when we choose 

to trust them. They will 

learn to be their own 

administrators, fill out 

applications and learn the 

importance of a deadline. 

We will need to proofread 

their essays and applications. 

We may need 

to ask them about deadlines 

and help keep them 

on track. 

And please, someone 

tell me how to do this 

without starting an argument?! 

Sometimes it’s 

so easy, and sometimes I 

say something as simple 

as “Hey did you get a 

response from...?” and I’m 

met with a growl, an eye 

roll and an “Oh my gosh, 

why are you always ON 

ME?” 

This is the tough part. 

We need to be patient. 

Because with every eye 

roll our procrastinationsavvy 

teenagers gives us 

there lies a nervous little 

kid embarking on the rest 

of his or her life. These 

kids have one foot out the 

door and one foot firmly 

planted at home. While 

they talk a great game and 

DO want to get out on 

their own, they’re scared. 

Let’s all take a deep 

breath. Let’s make a pact 

to hang tight and guide 

our kiddos through this 

process with patience and 

maybe even some dignity. 

In just five months, we 

will be wearing new 

college sweatshirts and 

breathing sighs of relief. 

These senior days may 

be long, but gosh this 

year will be short. Let’s 

enjoy every moment 

with our college-bound 

babies — the good, the 

yucky and the annoying. 

Let’s breathe together, and 

watch them bloom. 

Nina Vallone lives in Lake 

Forest with her Hubs, two 

teenagers and her dog, Coco. 

She’s on a quest to write what 

she talks about: life, love and 

the pursuit of getting up after 

falling, repeatedly.

In remembrance of 9/11 

Kirsten Keller 


Lake Bluff is well 

known for its 

Fourth of July 

festivities — even in my 

short time here, I’ve heard 

the parade and surrounding 

activities touted by 

residents, government 

officials and community 

leaders. 

This year, Lake Bluff 

decided not to let the 

patriotism end on July 4. 

The inaugural Patriotic 

Spirit Day will be held on 

the Village Green on Saturday, 

Sept. 10 — the day 

before the anniversary of 

the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist 

attacks. Village President 

Kathleen O’Hara spoke 

at a recent Village Board 

meeting of the importance 

of remembering the lives 

lost that day 15 years ago. 

I was in third grade the 

day the planes struck the 

World Trade Center, and I 

have only fuzzy recollections 

of the day. 

Surely many of you 

reading this have kids 

who were not born at the 

time and only know of the 

day’s events as the worst 

terrorist attack in the history 

of the United States. 

Sept. 11 will forever be 

a dark day in the future 

of the United States, but 

to have a community 

event that celebrates the 

goodness and spirit of the 

country around the time of 

the anniversary is a great 

idea, and one that can 

signify something greater, 

and more hopeful, to your 

kids.

Cut pollution, install solar

As Lake Forest develops 

its sustainability plan, promoting 

solar energy can 

help move the community 

into the future of environmental 

friendliness. With 

the continuing popularity 

of nuclear and coal energy 

as a power source, the atmosphere 

is being polluted 

and ecosystems are being 

destroyed. Solar energy is 

a renewable energy source 

that solves this problem. 

Solar energy is a successful 

and low-cost economic 

investment for our community. 

Solar energy is primarily 

used to create electricity 

in two different ways: 

photovoltaic reactions 

and solar-thermal heating. 

Photovoltaics is the direct 

conversion of light into 

electricity at the atomic 

level. Solar-thermal heating, 

on the other hand, uses 

mirrors to focus sunlight 

into a boiler. The boiler 

creates steam, which powers 

turbines. Photovoltaics

monly done in solar fields. 

Carol Olson, a researcher 

at the Energy Research 

Center of the Netherlands, 

stated in an article in The 

New York Times, “Solar 

photovoltaic energy (PV) 

contributes 96-98 percent 

less greenhouse gases than 

a 100 percent coal provider.” 

In addition, PV uses 

86-89 percent less water, 

occupies 80 percent less 

space, is 95 percent less 

toxic to humans and contributes 

92-97 percent less 

to acid rain. From these 

percentages, the benefits 

of solar, photovoltaic power 

outweigh nuclear and 

coal power tremendously. 

Since solar panels are 

small and can be placed on 

top of houses and buildings, 

they can even be used 

in urban areas like Chicago. 

According to the U.S. 

Environmental Protection 

Agency, “Air emissions 

associated with generating 

electricity from solar 

technologies are negligible 

because no fuels are combusted 

... In [the case of solar-thermal 

technologies], 

the water can be reused 

after it has been condensed 

from steam back into water.” 

The abundance of 

light photons hitting the 

earth is also unlimited, because 

“173,000 terawatts 

of solar energy strikes the 

earth continuously, which 

is 10,000 times the world’s 

total energy use.” 

Solar energy is also inexpensive. 

In an article in 

The Wall Street Journal, 

Cowen and Company, a 

financial and investment 

company, stated that “In 

2008, the average cost of 

a solar module was $3.95 

a watt ... far above today’s 

level.” Excess energy produced 

can even be sold to 

energy companies, resulting 

in even greater savings. 

It is time for our community 

to prevent climate 

change and support the 

development and construction 

of solar energy 

systems. 

I hope the community 

takes my letter into consideration 

and encourages 

the City of Lake Forest to 

install solar panels around 

town. Clean energy and 

sustainability go hand in 

hand. If the community 

moves forward with one, it 

should move forward with 

the other.

Labor of love 

Artists come from 

afar to display art 

in annual show 

Erin Yarnall 


While many Lake Forest 

residents were able to 

kick back and enjoy a day 

off on Labor Day, more 

than 180 artists worked 

all day to promote and 

sell their craft at the 62nd 

annual Art Fair on the 

Square. 

The fair was hosted by 

the Deerpath Art League 

and took over downtown 

Lake Forest, as streets 

were shut down in Market 

Square to accommodate 

the numerous tents where 

artists of all varieties 

displayed and sold their 

work. 

“Having Art Fair on 

the Square in historic 

Market Square puts us 

apart from other art fairs,” 

said Jillian Chapman, the 

co-chair of Art Fair on 

the Square. “Having an 

outdoor art fair always 

has its challenges, but it 

truly has been wonderful 

to keep this long tradition 

alive.” 

The art was judged by 

three art professionals 

throughout the event, 

which took place Sept. 

4-5 and coincided with 

the Lake Forest-Lake 

Bluff Artisan Guild Fall 

Show. 

Chapman and some of 

the artists agree that one 

of the aspects of the fair 

that has made it successful 

for the past six decades 

is their focus on the art 

itself. 

“Our fair is mainly 

about the art,” Chapman 

said. 

Mary Jacquin, an artist 

from Peoria, Ill., agreed, 

and said it’s refreshing 

to be at an art fair where 

attendees didn’t have to 

decide between “spending 

their money on a beer or 

art.” 

“A lot of art shows try 

to be all things to all people,” 

Jacquin said. 

Instead, at Art Fair on 

the Square, a vast majority 

of the tents were occupied 

by the artists themselves, 

with a few tents scattered 

throughout the downtown 

area serving food by Frost 

Gelato and Popcorn Jester 

of Highland Park and 

Bangkok Tokyo of Lake 

Bluff. The event also 

provided acoustic music, 

which became difficult 

to hear once attendees 

began to walk away from 

it, allowing their full 

attention to be on the art 

displayed. 

Because of the circular 

layout of the fair, it became 

more of a festivallike 

experience, as participants 

were able to circle 

around and “meander,” 

according to glass artist 

Nicole Fierce, who drove 

from Minneapolis to take 

part in the fair. 

Fierce has been working 

with glass for six 

years after taking it up as 

a hobby and this was her 

first time participating in 

Art Fair on the Square. 

“I drove here just for 

this,” Fierce said. 

She has participated 

in art fairs and shows for 

four to five years in Minnesota 

but says Art Fair 

on the Square sticks out 

among the others because 

of how the artists are 

treated. 

“As artists, one of the 

things we pay attention 

Michelle Harris, of Powell, Ohio, displays her assemblage art jewelry at Art Fair on 

the Square in Lake Forest on Sept. 4. Photos by Claire Esker/22nd Century Media 

to is how we’re treated as 

guests,” Fierce said. “I’d 

say we’ve been treated 

very well.” 

Some of the more 

popular stands at the fair 

were ones with localized 

art, including oil paintings 

of Wrigley Field by 

Thomas V. Trausch, a 

painter from Woodstock, 

Ill. Other art for sale included 

jewelry, clothing, 

sculptures, paintings and 

even baskets made out of 

gourds, created by Rosie 

and Dave Claus of Off the 

Vine Gourds. 

While the art itself was 

enough to make for a large 

turnout at the festival, the 

great weather all weekend 

didn’t hurt either. 

“The nice weather 

brought me out,” said 

Paul Isaacson, a Wilmette 

resident who had never attended 

the festival before. 

“I’ve really enjoyed the 

mixture of art.” 

Whether for the food, 

weather or the wide variety 

of different pieces of 

art, people turned out in 

droves to attend the event. 

“People come here for 

multiple reasons,” Fierce 

said, “which I think is really 

beneficial for us as 

artists.”

In Memoriam 

Janet Artac 

Janet K. Artac, 76, passed away 

on Aug. 12, surrounded by her loving 

family. 

Artac was born in Waukegan 

on March 8, 1940, to Adolph and 

Helen (nee Kenar) Turnovec. She 

was educated in the schools of 

Waukegan and graduated from 

Waukegan East in 1957. She then 

attended Miller’s School of Beauty 

and graduated as a hair beautician in 

1958. Artac worked in Libertyville, 

Lake Bluff and Lake Forest beauty 

shops. When she was 14 years old 

she met her sweetheart David and 

they went together until they married 

on Sept. 23, 1961, at St. Joseph 

Church in Waukegan. She and her 

husband had three sons, Todd, Jay 

(died in 2009) and Jeff and lived in 

Waukegan for 28 years before moving 

to Winthrop Harbor, Ill. After 

her sons graduated from school she 

began working in Lake Forest for 

estates of the wealthy for 30 years 

and retired in 2014. She loved her 

wooded backyard and wildlife of 

all kinds; including deer, raccoons, 

and rabbits, she also loved feeding 

the birds, squirrels, and chipmunks 

in her flowered yard. Artac especially 

loved her many cats, including 

her current companion Jack as 

well as her lovable dog Toto who 

she walked every morning while 

she fed the wildlife in her backyard. 

She had the most lovable times with 

her granddaughters Sofia and Julia, 

cooking and reading, taking them 

shopping and to parks because Jan 

put more importance on her family 

than her working career. She is survived 

by her husband David; sons 

Todd (Kim) of Carol Beach, Wis., 

and Jeff; former daughter-in-law 

Anne Iacubino of Lake Bluff; grand 

daughters Sofia and Julia; her sister 

Elaine (Oscar) Dahl of Northbrook 

and many nieces and nephews. She 

would have wonderful parties and 

light up the room with her smile and 

laughter and she was dearly loved 

by her family and friends. She will 

be missed very very much by all 

who knew her and loved her. 

George Caldwell 

George B. Caldwell, a resident 

of Lake Forest for 55 years, passed 

away peacefully in his sleep on 

Aug. 21. He was a loving husband 

to his wife, Phoebe, and a devoted 

father to his four children, Carrie 

(Orest) Kramarczuk, G. James 

(Sarah) Caldwell, Amy J. Caldwell 

and David M. (Dawn) Caldwell. 

Caldwell was devoted to his 12 

grandchildren and planned many 

special vacations that were specifically 

for them. Throughout 

his life he enjoyed and supported 

the YMCA Camp du Nord in Ely, 

Minn. He was a graduate of Cornell 

College in Iowa and later served on 

the college board. He completed 

his graduate work in Hospital Administration 

at the University of 

Iowa. After a residency at Rockford 

Hospital in Rockford he served for 

12 years as president of Lake Forest 

Hospital. His last position was 

president and CEO of Lutheran 

General Healthcare System, now 

part of Advocate Health. He finished 

his professional career consulting 

in the health care field. A 

memorial service will be held at 11 

a.m. on Oct. 7 at First Presbyterian 

Church of Lake Forest, 700 North 

Sheridan Road. In lieu of flowers, 

direct memorials to YMCA Camp 

du Nord, 30 South Ninth Street, 

Minneapolis, Minn. 

Loretta Crowley 

Loretta Crowley, 88, of Lake 

Forest, formerly of Oak Park, died 

Aug. 27. She was born in Chicago 

on Feb. 13, 1927, to James and Loretta 

(Lawlor) McLennan. Crowley 

taught school for 40 years in the 

Bellwood School District #88. She 

is survived by her son James (Anna) 

Crowley, and grandchildren Theresa 

(David) Anderson, and Michael 

Crowley. A funeral mass will be

“I know I forgot something. 

What was it?” 

LF College student to present 

women’s suffrage lecture 

Submitted by Lake Forest-Lake 

Bluff Historical Society 

The Lake Forest-Lake 

Bluff Historical Society presents 

the culmination of this 

summer’s Leslie T. Chapman 

Museum Internship: a 

free lecture on Wednesday, 

Sept. 14, exploring the local 

history of women’s suffrage, 

presented by intern Sonya 

Sindberg. The program will 

take place at 7 p.m. in Meyer 

Auditorium at Lake Forest 

College. 

Over the past few months, 

Sindberg, a history major 

at Lake Forest College, has 

carefully dug through Lake 

Forest newspapers, club minutes, 

scrapbooks and City 

Council notes to construct a 

picture of how 19th century 

Lake Forest interacted with 

the women’s suffrage movement. 

“At such a local level 

[women’s suffrage] has not 

gotten much academic attention,” 

Sindberg said. 

Sindberg challenges previous 

works with a deeper investigation 

of the topic. She 

proposes that Lake Forest 

women across many generations 

played an active and often 

critical role in women’s 

rights movements. 

She will present on four 

Lake Forest women in particular: 

Anna Farwell, Annie 

Patrick Hillis, Alice Hixon 

and Mary Louisa Ayer. 

“To be able to know these 

women is a privilege I would 

like to share,” Sindberg said. 

The Leslie T. Chapman 

Museum Internship is named 

in honor of the historical society’s 

former treasurer, who 

was also vice president of 

business affairs and treasurer 

of Lake Forest College for 22 

years. 

Meyer Auditorium is located 

in Hotchkiss Hall on 

Lake Forest College’s Middle 

Campus. RSVP for this free 

event on the historical society’s 

website, www.lflbhistory.org,

Taco Lago spices up Wilmette’s Plaza del Lago 

Eric DeGrechie 

Managing Editor 

Talk to Tim Lenon about 

the restaurant industry and 

he’ll be quick to mention 

taquerias and communal 

dining are all the rage. 

The longtime local restaurateur, 

who owns Fuel 

Wilmette and was a former 

partner at Wilmette’s 

Nick’s Neighborhood Bar 

& Grill, decided to combine 

the two trends when 

he opened Taco Lago earlier 

this year. Located in 

the Plaza del Lago shopping 

center, 1545 Sheridan 

Road, Wilmette, Taco 

Lago prides itself on “providing 

locally sourced 

food crafted with love,” 

according to its tagline. 

“The space was perfect 

for what I wanted,” said 

Lenon, a native of Lake 

Geneva, Wis., on choosing 

to open at Plaza del 

Lago. “It was a store that 

had a bunch of wood in it 

already. My whole concept 

was to have a place where 

everything was reused and 

recycled.” 

All of the furniture in 

Taco Lago was made from 

artisan display cases. The 

rest of the space was refurbished 

and a kitchen was 

added. 

A group of 22nd Century 

Media editors recently 

stopped into the establishment 

to chat with Lenon 

and try some of Taco Lago’s 

dishes. 

Chef Armando Esquivel, 

who moonlights in the 

same role at Fuel, grew up 

cooking Mexican food and 

his attention to every authentic 

detail is evident in 

the menu choices.

The al pastor taco with marinated pork shoulder, grilled 

pineapple, onion and cilantro ($9) is a bestseller at 

Taco Lago, 1545 Sheridan Road, Wilmette. Courtney 

Jacquin/22nd Century Media 

“Tacos are food for everybody,” 

Lenon said. “It’s 

healthy food and there’s 

a value there. You don’t 

have to live on the lake to 

eat here.” 

After placing your order 

at a large counter in the 

front of the restaurant, the 

next step is to find a seat, 

as your food will be delivered 

to you. Taco Lago 

features communal seating 

throughout the restaurant, 

which Lenon said makes it 

the first of its kind in Wilmette. 

“You can sit with your 

neighbor, sit with your 

friends or sit with someone 

you don’t know,” Lenon 

said. “You get to know 

people that are in your 

neighborhood.” 

Chips and salsa are complimentary, 

but should definitely 

not be just pushed 

aside. The salsas — verde, 

roja and de mango — are 

homemade with varying 

degrees of hotness. 

As you’re eating your 

food, make sure to look 

around. The restaurant 

walls feature colorful work 

from area artists, including 

a popular graffiti artist 

from Chicago. 

The tacos al pastor ($9) 

— one of the restaurant’s 

bestsellers — are tacos 

filled with marinated pork 

shoulder spit roasted with 

grilled pineapples, onion 

and cilantro. 

Other tacos on the menu 

include hamburgesa ($7), 

de pollo (chicken) ($7), 

de pescado (fish) ($9), and 

carne asada (steak) ($9). 

For the vegetarian eater, 

the tacos de vejetarianos 

($6) include baby romaine, 

carrots, celery, jalapeno, 

zucchini, avocado and 

pico de gallo. Each taco 

order comes with two tacos, 

but there is no mixing 

and matching unless you 

want to upgrade your order 

to a taco platter ($12.95).

How long have you been playing 

tennis and how did you get started 

with it? 

I played when I was younger and then 

stopped to do horseback riding and then 

picked tennis back up again because my 

older sister was on the team. Watching 

her play made me want to play more. 

What is on your pre-match 

playlist? 

Pump up songs like Akon, Miley 

Cyrus, Chainsmokers and some old, classic 

tunes too. 

What do you eat before a match? 

Normally fruit like an apple, vegetables, 

not too many carbs. Just something 

light that gives you energy. 

Who is your favorite athlete? 

I really like Michael Phelps but also 

(Novak) Djkovic and Venus and Serena 

Williams. 

What is your dream job? 

I would love to work for a magazine 

doing stories where I’d go out and try 

something and write about it. 

If you could travel anywhere in the 

world, where would you go? 

Africa. I’ve always wanted to go on a 

safari, that’s my dream. 

If you could have any superpower, 

what would you choose? 

The ability to breathe under water. I 

really like the ocean and I would like to 

be able to breathe under water and swim. 

I’ve been snorkeling before with my 

family. 

What’s the most challenging aspect 

of playing tennis? 

photo Submitted 

The mental side, for sure. Sometimes 

I start getting down on myself but once I 

tell myself it’s just one point, keep going, 

I just have a better attitude and I just 

make my shots more and have an easier 

time winning. So keeping my compure as 

well is the most challenging. 

What’s the best coaching advice 

you’ve ever received? 

Coach Denise (Murphy) always says 

you get what you give and you practice 

how you’ll play in a match, so we always 

work as hard as we can in practice. 

If you’re working as hard as you can in 

practice, that’s what you’ll get on the 

court, especially with conditioning too. 

We do a ton of conditioning but you can 

see that in our conditioning. 

What’s the best part of being an 

athlete at LFHS? 

The team aspect. It’s nice having 

people from different grades, different 

friend groups all coming together on one 

team. I’ve met so many people and made 

so many friends playing tennis (here).

The Scouts cruised to 

their third victory of the 

season in a striaght-sets 

victory over Glenbrook

30. 

Senior setter Emma Patlovich

Claire Torkelson and Brigid

ace. 

Girls Golf 

Lake Forest 174, Warren 

181 

The Scouts defeated Warren 

by seven strokes during 

a match on Thursday, 

Last week was a pretty 

stellar one for Melanie 

Walsh and company. 

Lake Forest beat the 

defending state champion 

New Trier Trevians 3-2 

in overtime on Aug. 27, 

avenging their loss in the 

state semifinals last season 

in the process. 

The Scouts next matchup 

against Glenbrook 

South on Aug. 31 went a 

bit smoother. Lake Forest 

held the Titans scoreless 

for 59 minutes and won 

6-1. 

“We are playing beautifully 

right now,” Lake 

Forest coach Melanie 

Walsh, “We have a lot 

of players contributing. 

My message to the team 

was it was a great team 

win. With 16 seniors, it is 

hard to spread the wealth 

sometimes, but we have 

been playing great lately.” 

Lake Forest’s Grace 

Payne put the Scouts 

ahead one goal after only 

two minutes of play. 

Payne lifted a shot that 

missed a sea of Titan defenders 

and found the 

back of the net. 

It was the first goal 

given up by the Titans in 

the regular season but the 

Scouts didn’t stop there. 

They used their depth 

to attack the Titan defense 

with five different 

Scouts registering a goal 

or more. Olivia Douglass 

scored twice while Libby 

Thompson, Madden Plante, 

Olivia Douglas, Sarah 

Considine and Sophie 

Metzger all tallied. 

The Scouts gained success 

offensively thanks to 

the corners they earned. 

“Corners are huge for 

us,” Walsh said. “We have 

scored three goals off corners 

this season, which is 

already more than we did 

last year. We really have 

been working on them. 

We have had trouble with 

them in the past, and it is 

good to have some early 

success.” 

The Lake Forest defense 

was stifling as well, 

giving the Titans fits as 

they tried to gain possession. 

Lake Forest dominated 

possession throughout 

the game. 

“We really try to shorten 

the field,” Walsh said. 

“We don’t like to give opponents 

the last 25 yards. 

I tell the girls to play aggressively, 

keep the ball 

offensively and keep 

shooting. That is one of 

our mottos. Keep shooting, 

keep shooting, keep 

shooting.” 

Despite being on the 

wrong end of a 6-1 score, 

Glenbrook South showed 

grit, scoring in the final 

minute to avoid the shutout. 

The Titans gained a corner 

with five seconds left.

Scouts have makings for special season 

Derek Wolff, Sports Editor 

Molly Grzesik walked 

into the competition gym 

at Lake Forest High School 

in 2015 and couldn’t believe 

her luck. 

She inherited a talented 

and veteran-laden team, 

coaching the Scouts to a 

30-7 mark in her first season 

at the helm that included 

a trip to a regional title 

game. 

A year later, the Scouts 

(4-0) returned nine seniors, 

five of six starters 

and have dominated their 

opposition in the early goings, 

dusting Evanston to 

the tune of 25-14, 25-17 

on Thursday, Sept. 1 from 

LFHS. 

Lake Forest has gone to 

a third set just once in its 

first four games, putting 

teams away with flurries of 

creative combination play, 

hardline serves and a commitment 

to conditioning 

that helps the Scouts win 

long points. All three were 

on display in the win over 

Evanston. 

“We’ve really been focusing 

a lot on conditioning 

and working out more 

this year,” Grzesik said. 

“We’ve had some tough 

workouts and the girls 

have admitted they’ve 

been enjoying them. That 

helps us stay a little more 

focused and helps us know 

we have the fitness to win 

some of those long points.” 

Evanston rallied from 

down 2-0 to take a 3-2 lead 

early in the first set but a 

kill from right-side hitter 

Ashley Williams immediately 

evened the score for 

the Scouts, who regained 

the lead on the next point 

and never relinquished it. 

Williams finished with 

15 kills on the night and 

had 58 through her first 

four games of the season. 

The Scouts went on a 

tear in the middle of the 

set, running the score up 

to 16-7 after a series of 

kills from Williams, who 

added an ace on a booming 

overhand serve. Defensive 

specialist Mia Lanzilotti 

added one of her aces in 

the match as well. 

Evanston battled back 

to a 21-12 deficit but the 

Scouts took over from 

there, winning four of the 

last six points for the 25- 

14 opening set victory. 

The second set saw the 

teams trade early leads before 

Lake Forest went on a 

run in the middle to take a 

19-14 advantage, punctuated 

by a diving save near 

the Scouts bench by setter 

Emma Patlovich that kept 

the ball in play and enabled 

Lake Forest to win a 

long rally. 

Grzesik praised her 

team’s ability to stay mentally 

focused and upbeat 

after winning the opening 

set to put teams away in 

the second. 

“They have the confidence 

and whenever we 

get in situations where 

Game 2 gets a little tight 

this year, they’re like, 

‘That’s OK, we’ve got 

this’ and they stay in control 

and stay focused the 

whole match,” Grzesik 

said. “That’s been huge 

experience this year.” 

Patlovich finished the 

match with 25 assists and 

two aces, while libero 

Brigid Brennan led the defense 

with 12 digs. Outside 

hitter Meghan McGrail 

added nine kills and two 

aces, while middle hitter 

Claire Torkelson had three 

Lake Forest’s Meghan McGrail lines up a serve during 

the Scouts 25-14, 25-17 victory over Evanston on 

Thursday, Sept. 1 from Lake Forest High School. 

McGrail finished with nine kills and two aces in the 

match. Derek Wolff/22nd Century Media 

kills and was a force at the 

net alongside Williams, 

adding one block. 

On Friday, the Scouts 

traveled to Champaign 

Centennial High School to 

play in a tournament before 

taking on New Trier 

this Friday. 

Grzesik said the trip 

helped the team in more 

ways than one. 

“We go down there and 

they really get some team 

bonding and I think that’s 

huge,” she said. “Girls 

kind of have to like each 

other to play well and 

these girls really get along 

and that goes a long way. 

“It’s really nice to go 

down to Champaign and 

play some different teams. 

Sometimes around here 

when you go to the same 

tournaments you see the 

same teams over and over 

so it’s nice to see what 

volleyball looks like all 

around the state.”

After shooting a 5-over

Club in Dundee that captured 

a tournament in early 

August, Lake Forest’s Asa

From Page 31 

No. 1 singles. 

At No. 2 singles, fellow 

sophomore Caitlin Goldberg 

collected another win 

for the Giants, defeating 

the Scouts’ Emily Gorczynski, 

6-1, 6-3. 

Lake Forest earned its 

lone win of the match 

at No. 5 doubles, where 

sophomores Lucy Rubenstein 

and Anisha Paruchuru 

defeated Highland 

Park’s tandem of Lizzie 

Insoft and Chloe Blum, 

6-2, 6-7 (6), 10-6. 

Lake Forest has a 

strong pedigree under 

coach Denise Murphy and 

features a younger squad 

this season, like Highland 

Park’s. The current 

group’s fitness coming 

into the season was 

something to behold, she 

said, a good foundation to 

build around. 

“They’re really great, 

really responsive, super 

eager to learn.” Murphy 

said. “They’ve been hustling 

like crazy. This is one 

of the best conditioned 

groups I think we’ve ever 

had. I know they have the 

stamina, I know they have 

the footwork, it’s just a 

matter of putting all the 

pieces together.” 

Highland Park won 

each of the No. 1 through 

No. 4 doubles matches in 

straight sets. 

At No. 1 doubles, Monique 

Brual and Halle 

Michael bested Julianna 

Roman and Nika Belova, 

6-2, 6-1. 

That success was replicated 

at No. 2 doubles, 

where Highland Park’s Samara 

Michael and Devin 

Davidson dispatched 

Lake Forest’s freshman 

tandem of Salma Alsikafi 

and Alex Slomba, 6-2, 

6-3. 

Rudman has been 

mixing up his pairings in 

the early goings, mixing 

and matching players 

and getting them time at 

various levels of doubles 

play. 

“The goal right now 

because the kids are so 

young and combinations 

are so inexperienced at 

doubles, we’re just trying 

to find who can work 

with who and who compliments 

each other,” 

Rudman said. “It’s still 

a work in progress but 

we’ve picked up some 

good wins.” 

Erin Lothan and Mia 

Loquande earned a 6-4, 

6-1 win over Ali Davidson 

and Sara Eichelman 

at No. 3 doubles for the 

Giants, while Highland 

Park’s No. 4 doubles won, 

6-1, 6-2. 

Rudman said his team 

played well and was 

growing more comfortable 

with each outing as 

the Giants look forward to 

postseason play. 

The goal today 

was really just to be 

competitive and do 

something different,” 

Rudman said. “For the 

most part the group has 

done that. They’re starting 

to get it and our hope is 

to get better each week 

so when we have to play 

Deerfield and Glenbrook 

North for conference 

the kids are going to 

Thomas found himself 

atop the leaderboard in 

the running for the Illinois 

Junior Golf Association’s 

Player of the Year in the 

10-11 year old division. 

Thomas, a sixth grader 

at Deerpath Middle 

School, held off a hard 

charge from Chicago’s Jason 

Gordon (plus-7) and 

Libertyville’s Aleks Slessers 

(plus-8) to capture the 

tournament. 

be comfortable, they’re 

going to be confident and 

ready to play.” 

Highland Park defeated 

Lake Forest, 5-0, earlier 

this season. Rudman specifically 

scheduled the 

Scouts twice, as well as 

Stevenson twice and Hinsdale 

Central and Glenbrook 

South once each in 

order to expose his team 

to the best teams and players 

early so they have a 

feel for what they’ll be in 

for when the matches really 

matter. 

Lake Forest employs a 

similar mindset and has 

played tough competition 

throughout the season 

thus far, including at the 

New Trier Invite in late 

August. The Scouts delivered 

a 3-2 victory over 

Glenbrook South, thanks 

largely to wins by Slomba 

and Gorczynski at No. 1 

and No. 2 singles, respectively. 

Murphy said that 

Lake Forest could use 

each result as positive 

motivation moving 

forward, even when 

things don’t break its way 

like they did not against 

Highland Park. 

“Our goal, every single 

match when we walk off 

the court is to be very 

mindful of what just transpired— 

whether it’s a win 

or a loss—and to try and 

be better the next time we 

walk out,” Murphy said. 

“If we continue to do that 

throughout the season, 

by the end we should be 

significantly stronger and 

wiser.”

‘We need to be better’ 

Scouts survive Vikings 

in wild overtime thriller 


Amid the jubilation of the winning 

scoring drive after Gabe 

Funk plunged into the endzone 

for his second rushing touchdown 

of the night was the overwhelming 

sense that it shouldn’t have 

come down to that. 

Lake Forest (2-0) needed overtime 

but held off Niles North (0- 

2), 29-26, in the Scouts first home 

game of the season on Friday, 

Sept. 2. 

Head coach Chuck Spagnoli 

didn’t pull any punches postgame 

after Lake Forest committed 10 

penalties and blew a 15-0 lead. 

“Ultimately we need to worry 

about the result but we have to 

correct the problems for us to be 

as good as we can be,” Spagnoli 

said. “We want to be a great team; 

we don’t want to be a team that 

just hangs on, that makes mistakes 

and hurts ourselves, puts 

ourselves in bad positions. That’s 

just not what this program is 

about. We need to be better.” 

Niles North kicker Nick Mihalic 

put on a show throughout the 

night to get the visitors back into 

the game. Trailing 23-17 in the 

fourth quarter, Mihalic converted 

on a field goal from 45 yards. On 

the ensuing kickoff, the Vikings 

successfully recovered his onside 

attempt before their drive set him 

up with a 47 yard field goal try. 

Mihalic’s boot proved true 

once more as the ball sailed 

through the uprights, tying the 

game at 23-23. 

On the next kickoff, Lake Forest 

returner Liam Pooler fumbled 

the ball twice near the five yard 

line but scooped it up and got 

some help from his blockers en 

route to a 59 yard return that set 

the Scouts up in Vikings territory 

with a few minutes remaining. 

Quarterback Charlie Reinkemeyer 

was sacked on third and 

15, forcing the Scouts to punt. 

As the team’s punter as well, he 

watched the ensuing snap sail 

over his head into Lake Forest 

territory, where he had to scramble 

back and fall on the ball, issuing 

the turnover on downs. 

The Vikings’ drive set Mihalic 

up to kick what could have been 

the game-winning field goal with 

less than 90 seconds remaining, 

but his 33-yard attempt missed 

wide left. It was his only miss in 

five tries on the night. 

The Scouts received the ball 

with 1:19 remaining in the fourth 

quarter and killed most of the 

clock before punting. A kneel 

down from the Vikings set up 

overtime, where Niles North received 

the ball to start. 

After a loss of two on first 

down, Vikings quarterback Andrew 

Francis hit favorite wideout 

Lucas Suycott for nine yards 

along the left sideline, setting up 

third and goal from the Scouts 

3-yard line. Lake Forest stuffed 

Vikings running back Bruno 

Prosper Kanam’s rush, setting up 

a 23 yard field goal from Mihalic 

that gave the Vikings the temporary 

26-23 lead. 

Lake Forest benefited from a 

pass interference call before Funk 

rumbled into the endzone on a 

third down try from the Vikings 

1-yard line for the winning score. 

Funk’s second touchdown of the 

evening was Lake Forest’s third 

rushing touchdown on the night, 

a welcome return to form after the 

ground game did little in a Week 1 

victory over Glenbard East. 

Lake Forest used a running 

back by committee approach, 

with five Scouts recording handoffs 

from Reinkemeyer. Pooler 

rushed for 46 yards on six carries, 

while Funk had six yards on four 

carries with the two touchdowns. 

Evan Swint was the feature back 

on the night, rushing for 80 yards 

on 15 carries, including a 21-yard 

touchdown up the left sideline 

that gave the Scouts a 7-0 lead 

after an extra point from Andrew 

Athenson with 10:50 left in the 

second quarter. 

Reinkemeyer had an uneven 

night, going 14-24 for 144 yards 

and one touchdown, a 19-yard 

strike to Ryan Cekay in the second 

quarter. Reinkemeyer executed 

a two point conversion 

successfully after a dump-off 

pass to Liam Pooler, making it 

15-0 Scouts with 7:58 left in the 

second quarter. 

Trailing 15-10, Vikings defensive 

back Dakarii Pruitt picked 

off Reinkemeyer near the Lake 

Forest sideline and returned the 

ball 57 yards for the score, Niles 

North’s first of two leads on the 

evening. 

But the Lake Forest quarterback 

bounced back, getting a crucial 

conversion on fourth down 

on the next drive and ultimately 

set up Funk’s first touchdown 

score. After another successful 

two point conversion the Scouts 

led, 23-17. 

Spagnoli was pleased with the 

bounceback from Reinkemeyer. 

“Our goal is never to hang our 

head or feel sorry for ourselves 

and I don’t think he did anything 

like that,” Spagnoli said. 

“He knew he made a mistake. 

We trusted him enough where a 

couple of those fourth downs we 

threw it and he made plays. The 

reason we’re successful is because 

he’s the quarterback so we have to 

have him thinking the right way 

for us to have any chance.” 

As the head defensive coach, 

Spagnoli knows his unit will need 

to be better next week on the road 

at Stevenson. 

“If you let them score, you 

didn’t do a very good job, it’s a 

simple concept,” he said. “Your 

job is to keep them from scoring 

and we gave up some plays where 

we lost containment or lost coverage. 

There’s plenty of responsibility 

to be shared in this whole 

situation, good and bad. I’m sure 

every kid is happy that we won 

but they all know there’s a long 

road ahead.”
