From the Sports Editor The changing of the guard Derek Wolff d.wolff@22ndcenturymedia.com “That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang” -William Skakespeare, Sonnet 73 Old Bill Shakespeare describes the change from summer to fall much more eloquently than I can. Without fault—no matter the political scene or who is in the Major League Baseball playoffs or which National Football League team is under performing, or who will make the final roster on the Chicago Blackhawks this season—the one constant about the month of October is that summer is certainly over and the days grow ever shorter and colder. Yet there is still splendor to be found in this wonderful time of year before the snows come and the temperatures dip below freezing. Last week I spent a good amount of my Wednesday, Oct. 5, hanging out under a tree at the clubhouse at Deerpath Golf Course in Lake Forest, waiting for the Highland Park and Lake Forest High School girls golf teams to come in from their rounds during an IHSA Regional. As fate would have it, the teams tied for third place in the contest, meaning that a tiebreaker would determine which team advanced to the sectional, played earlier this week. In the end, Lake Forest advanced due to a better fifth-score finish, bringing at once anguish and elation to the two sides I’ve gotten accustomed to throughout my coverage of the teams this season. There was some solace to be taken in the fact that Highland Park did qualify three individuals on to the sectional, though it would have been nice for the entire team to have made it. As the fall sports seasons wind down and we make our transition to winter, the sonnets of various athletes at both high schools will be written, perhaps for the last time. On a personal note and within that vein, the last sonnet for Lake Forest Leader editor Kirsten Keller has been written at 22nd Century Media. Kirsten has moved on to a tremendous new position in Champaign. As a University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign graduate, I have no doubts that she will succeed in her new role and will enjoy being so close to a place she certainly loves. When past Lake Forest Leader Editor Nicki Koetting left it enabled Kirsten to shine within the community and I have no doubts the next editor will do the same, for just like the changes within the seasons, the changing of the guard merely alters the landscape from one picturesque shot to another. In the meantime, there’s much to celebrate here at the Leader. We’re in the middle of our first requester campaign (if you haven’t already, check out the story on Page 8 or our advertisement on Page 7). We’re also having a pumpkin carving contest, where we’d like you to see your submitted best designs (There’s a big jack-o’- lantern in my neighbor’s apartment that would probably take the cake, but I’m partial to anything featuring designs about sports teams at LFHS). Fall always brings out some of the best days of the year, particulalry in a place as creative as the North Shore. Later on this month The Leader will be scouting out Halloween decorations, looking for the most festive houses and the best spots for trick-or-treaters in Lake Forest and Lake Bluff. Finding those houses was one of my first assignments when I began writing for the Leader a little over a year ago. As the leaves fell down from the tree I was sitting under at Deerpath—the gorgeous golden brown color of the season—the changing landscape before me was completely abundant, but that’s a good thing. There was plenty to look back upon over this past year, and still plenty more to look forward to. So I issue this following challenge to our readers; what do you fall for this time of year? Let me know by emailing me at d.wolff@22ndcentury media.com. Have a fall project you’re passionate about? Send a letter to the editor and we’ll get the word out. If there’s one constant about the Leader, it’s that we fall for the stories that you provide us and are always looking for more.
