10th District to join Women’s March on Washington
Courtney Jacquin
Contributing Editor
While some will be celebrating
on Inauguration
Day Jan. 20, local men and
women will be gearing up
to bus across the country to
protest.
A group of 55 will be
traveling as a group from
the 10th District to Washington
Jan. 21 for the
Women’s March on Washington,
which is slated to
be the largest inauguration
weekend protest.
“People are very angry,
and people are very frightened
for what it means for
their rights and the rights
of people they care about,”
Lauren Beth Gash, founding
chairwoman of Tenth
District Democrats, of
Highland Park, said. “They
“People are very angry, and people are very
frightened for what it means for their rights and
the rights of people they care about. They want to
do something, and they felt this was something
they could do.”
-Lauren Beth Gash, founding chairwoman, Tenth District Democrats
want to do something, and
they felt this was something
they could do.”
According to the event’s
website, the march “will
send a bold message to our
new government on their
first day in office, and to the
world that women’s rights
are human rights.”
More than 170,000 people
have indicated on the
march’s official Facebook
page they will be going.
According to a Washington
Post article, the organizers
have secured a permit for
200,000 people near the
U.S. Capitol on the day of
the event.
The bus carrying the activists
will depart from the
Home Depot parking lot in
Deerfield, 655 Lake Cook
Road, at 6 p.m. Jan. 20.
Travelers will arrive the
morning of the march, Jan.
21 and depart Washington,
D.C., that evening at
8 p.m., returning to Deerfield
Sunday morning. The
cost to travel was $220,
and all spots on the bus
have been claimed.

Lake Bluff Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals
Lake Bluff focuses on historic
preservation vs. new construction
Katie Copenhaver
Freelance Reporter
The Village’s Plan Commission
and Zoning Board
of Appeals considered
amending zoning code
regulations to include attics
in calculating the floor
area ratio for residential
properties at its Wednesday,
Jan. 4 meeting.
The intent is to level the
field for homes that have
full third floors, which are
included in floor area ratios,
and in turn, are subject
to zoning ordinance limits.
Village Engineer Jeff
Hansen noted the attic
amendment would apply
to both new and existing
homes.
“Every time we get a
cycle of tear downs and
rebuilds, we get some
[houses] that are very appropriate
and some that
make us say, ‘How did that
happen? How did we get
something so much bigger
than what was there [before]?’”
Chairman Steve
Kraus said, expressing his
desire for the PCZBA to be
proactive about new construction
and renovation in
the Village.
Resident and realtor
Deborah Fischer, opposes
the new ordinance because
it will have unintended
negative consequences.
She explained the new
homes will not have sloping
roofs with attics, to
match Lake Bluff’s vintage
homes. Instead, the homeowners
will want to maximize
their living space with
third floors and flat roofs.
In turn, the older homes
would be over the square
foot bulk because of the
inclusion of attics and their
assessments will change.
Round It Up
A brief recap of Lake Bluff Plan Commission and
Zoning Board of Appeals action Wednesday, Jan. 4:
• The PCZBA considers creating an institutional
zoning district for schools, parks, Village buildings,
places of worship, etc.
• A subdivision application for 370 Moffett Road
was submitted and will be considered at the Feb.
15 meeting. The property owner has voluntarily
downsized the proposal from 14 lots to 7.
“If enacted, this will give
Lake Bluff homeowners
the most punitive building
ordinances on the North
Shore,” Fischer said.
She suggested an alternative
option to the Village.
“We should incentivize
design that is desired,”
Fischer said. “If people
perceive it is too hard to
renovate older homes, they
won’t do it.”
Frank Klepitsch, a resident
of Lake Bluff, echoed
her sentiments.
“Flat roof lines would
be added to existing homes
and we would have a lot
more new homes with flat
roof lines,” Klepitsch said.
He explained flat roofs
are typical of post-WWII
subdivisions.
“I don’t think we want
Lake Bluff to look like
that. We need to take an
aesthetic approach to the
building review process,
as opposed to an engineering
approach.”
There were not a lot of
people in attendance at the
meeting, which raised concerns
that residents don’t
know about the issue.
Kraus motioned for the
public hearing on the issue
to be continued at another
meeting due to sparse attendance
at the meeting. He
also suggested the Village
appoint an ad-hoc committee
to review ordinances of
other communities in comparison
to this proposal.
The motion passed
5-1 with Commissioner
Mary Collins voting no
and Commissioner Leslie
Bishop absent. Collins
explained she does not
want to see a new layer of
bureaucracy added to the
building review process.
Proposal for zoning
variations at 701 Park
Place
The current owners
of the residence at 701
Park Place, the Leonardis
and Leggy Bird Designs
are planning renovations
which would require variations
to four zoning codes.
This house, whose nickname
is the Pink Palace, is
located in the Lake Park
subdivision. Built in 1912,
it was originally part of a
Lake Bluff artists’ colony
begun in the 1890s. In spite
of its historic importance,
the house has undergone
extensive changes over
the years which “have left
little preserved from the
original home,” said Vicki
Lidstrom of Leggy Bird
Designs, in making her
case for their current plans.
They are asking for
approval to connect the

dozens are traveling on the
bus, at least 100 members
of Tenth Dems will be attending
the rally, making
their own travel arrangements.
For those not able
to travel all the way to
Washington, D.C., many
members are attending the
Women’s March on Chicago,
which will begin at 10
a.m. Jan. 21 in Grant Park.
Tenth District Democrats,
a grassroots political group,
not affiliated with the national
Democratic party,
has been active since 2003,
working to elect Democrats
to all levels of office in the
Illinois’ 10th District, which
covers much of Lake County
and portions of Cook
County, including Highland
Park, Glencoe, Lake Forest,
and portions of Northbrook
and Glenview.
“Tenth Dems are a grassroots
political organization,
our ideas bubble up from
what our members want to
do,” Gash said.
During the 2016 election,
the group was active
in phone banking for both
Hillary Clinton and Bernie
Sanders during the primary
election. This isn’t their
first time traveling either
— since 2008, members
have traveled to Iowa, Wisconsin,
Indiana, Kentucky
A chimney fire was reported
at 7:18 p.m. on
Wednesday, Jan. 4, in the
400 block of E. Illinois
Road.
The Lake Forest Fire
Department responded to
the initial call from a passerby.
The first crews on the
scene reported flames from
the chimney and upgraded
the response to a Code 4,
which brought in additional
fire departments. Highland
Park, Lake Bluff,
Knollwood, Lincolnshire,
Libertyville, Deerfield and
Wheeling assisted in the
extinguishment, overhaul
and station coverage.
A broken water pipe
contributed to the damage
of the home. The occupants
were not displaced
and crews cleared the
scene at 9:46 p.m. Preliminary
damage is approximately
$30,000.
and Michigan to canvas for
Barack Obama and Hillary
Clinton.
In the 2016 general
election, the 10th District
leaned heavily Democrat in
the presidential race, with
61.78 percent of the vote
going to Hillary Clinton,
32.89 percent to Donald
Trump, 4.07 percent to
Gary Johnson and 1.26 percent
to Jill Stein.
According to Gash
though, this march isn’t
strictly partisan.
“People are genuinely
concerned for the future of
our country, and that’s not
just Democrats,” she said.
“A lot of the people who
are going are Republican.
I have heard from Republicans
who are going to the
march to protest Trump;
they’re very, very upset.”
And though the event is
called the women’s march,
and organized by women,
those traveling from the
10th District are men and
women.
“It’s men who support
women,” Gash said. “A
lot of the people are going
because there’s a women’s
march, but they’re also
doing other types of protests
that are not specific to
women, that might have to
do with rights for minorities,
rights for people who
have had their rights trampled
on.”

Brenda Belmonte,
certified professional dog
trainer and owner of Two
Paws Up Dog Training
said. “Flexible Levels is a
new twist on dog training
and allows busy owners the
flexibility they need to really
teach their dog.”
Flexible Levels Obedience
Training is a member’s
only training program.
Families and their dogs can
join one of the three types
of level’s memberships:
Yellow (two months), Red
(four months), and Blue
(six months).
During your period of
enrollment, you can attend
as much or as little
training as you like. The
Levels program consists of
four skill levels. Each level
introduces new skills to
your dog while continuing
to practice previous skills
with more distractions.
Although each level has
specific skill requirements
which must be met prior to
moving on to the next level,
you and your dog progress
through the levels at your
own pace. Move through
all four levels or choose to
stay at a lower level. The
choice is yours.
Flexible Levels Obedience
Training offer the following
benefits: Orientations
are held twice monthly
so there is little wait to enroll
your dog in a class, all
the dogs in each level are at
a similar stage in training,
students can revisit a lower
level at any time to brush
up on previous skills or for
added distractions, students
can take time off if they
have a very busy week or go
out of town, Just return to
class at the same level without
fear of falling behind,
attend more than one session
a week if your schedule
permits.
Two Paws Up Dog Training,
Inc. is a force-free dog
training facility, creating a
positive relationship, based
on trust and respect, between
dogs and the families
that love them.

Cegielski Family,

Norman is a 3-year-old
golden retriever. He
always has to have his
favorite stuffed chicken
or something in his
mouth. During the night
he seemingly “hunts”
because we wake up to a
variety of items deposited on top of the bed such
as shoes and the phone. He is very smart and
makes us laugh every day. Norman is a character
and is certainly loved by us and everyone he
meets.

detached garage by building
a mudroom, alter the
front entrance facing Park
Place, build onto the back
side of the first floor, enclose
a balcony in order
to restore a four-bedroom
design to the second floor
and to increase the basement
footprint to stabilize
the home. The total additions
to the house would
amount to 628 square feet.
Lidstrom stated she has
spoken with neighbors and
a previous owner who are
in support of the renovations.
Commissioners Sam
Badger and David Burns
asked to be provided with
letters from those neighbors
before approving the
plans.
Lake Bluff resident Michael
Goldsberry, supports
the Leonardis because they
are trying to do the right
thing with this home. He is
concerned about losing the
historic character of Lake
Bluff by making it too hard
for housing preservation
and in turn, too easy for
developers to tear down
and build new homes.
Klepitsch said he is
concerned about drainage
around the home because
the additions would increase
its impervious area.
He said it could cause
flooding in neighboring
yards. Peters and Badger
shared his concerns.
“The Leonardis have
chosen to take over the
stewardship of this historic
home with respect to
its neighbors,” Lidstrom
said. She added her dad
was a civil engineer and
her firm is very considerate
of neighboring homes
when doing these types of
additions.
Commissioner Collins
raised concerns about the
renovation drawings that
make it look like the roof
lines and windows of the
house would be altered,
changing its Prairie-style
appearance.
Lidstrom assured her
those elements would not
be changing and the design
software is to blame for
distorting the appearance
of the home.
“We all want to preserve
this house, but I personally
want to see some corrected
drawings,” Kraus
said. “I’m comfortable
with what you’re trying to
do. I just want to see more
details.”
The commission decided
to continue the public
hearing on this home at its
Feb. 15 meeting.
Setback requirements for
Central Business District
The PCZBA considered
an amendment to the zoning
code to clarify setbacks
for the property in the Central
Business District located
along Scranton Ave.
between Oak Avenue and
Evanston Avenue or adjacent
and abutting property
in the residence district.
They noted there are currently
no setbacks required
of commercial buildings
while residences have 15
to 20 foot setbacks. One
reason this has come up is
two residential lots in the
block have been sold for
development.
“The block is difficult
because it is half residential
and half business,”
Commissioner Elliot Miller
said.
“Setback should be transitional
within the block,”
Kraus said.
The commission agreed
to continue the public
hearing on this matter until
the attorney of one of the
property owners can attend
a meeting.

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER
Police release images of
‘person of interest’ in
homicide case
Authorities have released
the first surveillance
images of a “person of interest”
in the homicide investigation
in the death of
attorney Jigar Patel.
The images, released
Wednesday, Jan. 4, by
Northbrook police, show an
individual wearing a black
hat, carrying a bag and walking
with a cane. The footage
was taken from a camera on
the first floor of the office
building where Patel’s body
was discovered, according
to Northbrook Police Commander
Mike O’Malley.
After interviewing multiple
people who had been
in the building, police
could not identify the person
in the images.
“[The subject] was in the
building during the time
frame when we believe the
homicide was committed,”
O’Malley said.
Police have issued search
warrants in the case but have
not identified their targets.
The medical examiner’s
office ruled Patel’s death
a homicide after police
carrying out a well-being
check discovered Patel in
his office at 1363 Shermer
Road. The official cause of
death was strangulation.
Authorities believe the
homicide is an isolated incident
and the community
is not at risk.
In their release, police
asked anyone with information
to contact the investigations
unit at (847)
664-4181.

THE HIGHLAND PARK LANDMARK
Board president resigns,
BDR3 officially rescinded
After announcing plans
to delay BDR3 for a year
at its last regular meeting,
the North Shore School
District 112 school board
held a special meeting Jan.
3 to discuss the future of
BDR3.
The board used its committee
of the whole meeting
to weigh its options in
regard to the budget deficit
reduction plan. Board
members decided to delay
the plan at the Dec. 13
meeting because of a loss
of leadership as superintendent
Michael Bregy
announced his resignation
prior to the meeting.
The board ultimately
voted to rescind BDR3, allowing
the board elected in
April to decide what they
choose to move forward
with.
The board lost further
leadership when president
Michael Cohn announced
in an email statement that
he would be resigning
from the board effective
immediately at the beginning
of the meeting.
In the statement, which
was read by Assistant
Superintendent of Personnel
Services Monica
Schroeder, Cohn blamed
harassment from community
members for his
resignation, saying that
he was “embarrassed” by
the community, and that
the harassment he endured
has made an impact on his
children as well.
“The abuse by members
of our community was uncalled
for and has cemented
Highland Park with a
reputation that people are
entitled, and have learned
that screaming and stomping
their feet can get them
what they want,” Cohn
said in the statement.
Cohn also discussed his
disapproval with the plan
to delay BDR3 made at the
Dec. 13 meeting.

THE WINNETKA CURRENT
Village Council, One
Winnetka Plan developer
create development
agreement to mitigate
community concerns
The Winnetka Village
Council reviewed preliminary
approval of the One
Winnetka Planned Development
for the fifth time on
Tuesday, Jan. 3 at the council’s
bimonthly meeting.
However, the request
and subsequent ordinance,
which was unanimously
approved by council members,
included a couple of
alterations since the last
controversial hearing on
Sept. 30.
The latest application requested
one main change:
an adjustment in the
amount of residential units
from 61 units to a range of
units from 55 to 62 units.
Although the internal
structure may change, the
exterior footprint will remain
as planned.
Dually, the sanctioned
ordinance was paired with
a development agreement,
protecting the interest of
the village and its residents.
While the development
agreement is pending
adoption, it seeks to
address the community
concerns raised on Sept.
30 including traffic and
construction congestion,
safety, waste management
and the neighboring Hadley
Institute for the Blind
and Visually Impaired,
among others.
The trustees uniformly
praised the project and development
agreement advancements.
“I was very impressed
by all of the work [since
September],” Trustee Andrew
Cripe said. “There’s a
lot of material here; there’s
a lot of information. If
people have questions, I
would encourage them to
look at the information
that’s posted on the Village
website for this meeting’s
agenda. But also, don’t
hesitate to call any of [the
council members] if you
have any questions.

THE WILMETTE BEACON
Wilmette’s Sobel discusses
new book on rights of
citizens
Every American citizen
has certain rights.
That’s the message
Wilmette author Richard
Sobel, a visiting scholar
at Northwestern University,
research associate at
Harvard University and
director of the Cyber Privacy
Project, writes in his
recently published book,
“Citizenship as Foundation
of Rights: Meaning
for America.” He discussed
these rights at a
recent talk at the Wilmette
Public Library.
Sobel specifically is
concerned with maintaining
the rights American
citizenship brings. That
particularly includes those
rights discussed within the
context of more recent political
debates and growing
comments about needing
an ID to vote, work and
travel around the United
States.
He stated that protecting
these citizenship rights
preserves them for future
generations.
Sobel sees many American
citizens not as knowledgeable
about their inalienable
rights as they
should be, not just those
in the U.S. Constitution,
but in the Bill of Rights as
well.
He listed among these
rights the ability to live
and move about freely in
the U.S., not to be deported,
to vote, travel, serve on
a jury and in the National
Guard and the right to run
for federal office.

THE GLENCOE ANCHOR
Superintendent
recommends providing
laptop for every D35
teacher
Members of the Glencoe
School District 35 Board
of Education already have
MacBooks in front of them
during meetings — but
during the board’s regular
meeting on Thursday, Jan.
5, Superintendent Catherine
Wang introduced
a recommendation that
would eventually put laptops
in the hands of every
D35 teacher.
The district is reaching
the end of a three-year
Apple lease that provides
iMac desktop computers,
MacBook laptops and
iPads for use in school
offices and classrooms. A
new lease will be up for
approval by the board in
the spring.
Previously, District 35
teachers who wanted a
laptop for classroom use
and planning at home had
to go through an application
and approval process.
Wang’s recommendation
would not only replace
the MacBooks currently
in use, but would also allow
every teacher to have
a laptop without filing an
application for it.
“Laptops have been an
incredible tool for teachers,
for planning, for teaching
resources,” Wang said.
“It’s allowed for homeschool
flexibility access
for many of our teachers,
but it hasn’t been a tool for
all of our teachers.”
Recommendations for
the new lease also included
an increase in the
number of iPads allotted
to classrooms in kindergarten
through sixth grade,
with one iPad for every
three students in kindergarten
through fifth grade
classrooms and one for
every two students in sixth
grade. Seventh and eighth
grade classrooms would
continue to have one iPad
for each student.
“We felt like this would
be good, almost like a
foundational program for
our students to really learn
how to use those tools, to
learn some digital citizenship,
and to learn some
digital literacy,” Director
of Curriculum and Instruction
Amy Holaday said.

In Memoriam
Red Solo Cup creator dies, leaves legacy for festivities worldwide
Alan P. Henry
Freelance Reporter
Many Americans can
thank Robert Hulseman
for helping to make their
lives a little less messy
and lot more fun.
Hulseman, who died
Dec. 21 at age 84, began
working at age 18 in the
factory at Solo Cup Company,
the
business his
father Leo
Hulseman
began in
1936. Solo
Cup Company
had a Hulseman
location in
Lake Forest and for over
nearly 60 years, the Northfield
resident worked in a
variety of roles and oversaw
the company’s growth
into one of the largest food
service packaging companies
in the world, ultimately
serving as president and
CEO before his retirement
in 2006.
Known as an innovator,
a hands-on manufacturing
UNLIMITED-LUXURY® FOR ALL-ADULT ROMANCE
expert and an industry pioneer,
he had a major hand
in developing numerous
products and designs that
have becom e iconic parts
of the national culture.
The Solo Traveler lid,
designed in 1986, aggressively
promoted by Hulseman
and now found in
coffee houses around the
world, has forever largely
eliminated the problem of
burnt tongues and messy
spills caused by hot drinks
served in to-go cups. In
2004, the Museum of
Modern Art included the
lid in its “Humble Masterpieces”
exhibition and
soon added it to the museum’s
permanent collection
because it symbolized
innovation and progress in
basic product design.
Hulseman also nurtured
the popularity of the classic
red Solo cup, which
has been a staple for more
than four decades at beer
pong and flip-cup games
on college campuses, tailgate
parties and backyard
picnics. It was forever
memorialized by country
music singer Toby Keith
in his 2011 homage, “Red
Solo Cup.”
After retiring from Solo,
Hulseman was named
chairman emeritus. The
company was sold in 2012.
Throughout his tenure,
Hulseman was widely respected
and trusted by his
employees.
“I found him to be an
honorable, generous and
fair man,” Wilfried Kracht
said, who worked with
Hulsemen for 39 years at
the Highland Park plant.
“He saw his employees
as an extension of the
family and was a sincere
and kind man,” Bill Irvin,
an employee, said.
Hulseman and Sheila,
his wife of 60 years, were
committed philanthropists,
in particular supporting
organizations and causes
committed to Catholic
education, anti-poverty
initiatives and religious
communities.
Hulseman met Sheila
as a student at Marquette
University, and together,
they were awarded honorary
doctorates from
the Catholic Theological
Union in recognition of
their lifelong commitment

Set a resolution you can keep
Alyssa Groh
alyssa@lakeforestleader.com
Every year we get
the chance to set a
resolution for the
year of something we will
stop doing or something
we will accomplish. Some
people are able to stick
with them and achieve
their goal and many of us
fail at meeting our goal.
I can remember every
resolution I have ever set
and have not achieved it
year after year.
The closest I have ever
come to meeting a New
Year’s resolution was last
year. My entire life I have
been addicted to pop.
Last year I began thinking
about how terrible my
pop intake was for me. So
I decided to stop drinking
pop cold turkey on New
Years Day, 2016.
I was surprised I had
made it four months.
This year I started to
think of what resolution I
could make for myself and
was having a hard time
coming up with something
I felt I could achieve and
something I truly wanted
to do.
As I put more thought
into and thought about
what resolutions are, I
realized maybe we should
all be approaching resolutions
differently than we
are. Everyone thinks resolutions
have to be something
you have to change
in your everyday life.
Why can’t we set a goal to
do something by the end
of the year? Something
that is more attainable.
So I began to think of
things I really want to do
this year. Go on vacations,
buy a material item I have
been wanting for a long
time. But then I started
to think how does that
make be a better person or
impact other people in a
positive way?
Then it hit me. I have
always said I want to volunteer
abroad. This year
one of my first stories as
Editor of The Lake Forest
Leader was about eighth
graders at Deer Path
Middle School who set
a goal to give back 2017
hours of community service
as a class. After that
story I wrote an editorial
about how we, adults, can
learn from them. I urged
residents, and myself, to
find a few ways to give
back no matter how busy
we may be.
So, this year, I have
decided as part of my
New Year’s resolution I
will be going abroad to
volunteer wherever I may
be needed.
I have never been one
to accomplish resolutions
before, but I think this is
one I must accomplish.

“THE
8TH WONDER
OF THE WORLD. ...”
—Joe Heard, former White House photographer
Actors (left to right) Matt Farabee and Christine Mayland Perkins in a publicity image
for The New Colony’s world premiere of “Psychonaut Librarians”. PHOTO SUBMITTED
LFHS grad shares what
happens after the library closes
Alyssa Groh, Editor
The library is closed, the
doors are locked, the lights
are off and now it is time
for the librarians to tell a
new story. New Colony in
Chicago, presents the world
premiere of “Psychonaut
Librarians” written by Sean
Kelly featuring actress
Christine Mayland Perkins,
a Lake Forest native.
An interest in the arts
began at a young age for
Perkins. She first became
interested in theater when
she was in grade school
at North Shore Country
Day School in Winnetka,
but her career and love for
Theater began at Lake Forest
High School.
“My interest [in Theater]
started at North Shore
Country Day School but I
definitely felt like I got a lot
of support and growth opportunities
at Lake Forest
High School,” Perkins said.
The 2006 graduate from
LFHS has spent the last
few years acting in feeder
Theaters throughout Chicago
and Miami. This month,
Perkins will spend her
time as an actress in “Psychonaut
Librarians”.
The play is about people
called psychonauts who
take mind altering drugs
to expand their consciousness.
Psychonauts take
drugs because they believe
there are things outside of
reality where they can get
in touch with an expanded
state of mind.
Kelly has always been
intrigued by librarians and
felt it would be interesting
to connect them with psychonauts.
“I have always wondered
what happens after the library
closes and this story
kind of takes that as a departure,”
Kelly said. “The play
is about a group of librarians
battling at the barrier of the
world that is real and the
world of the unreal. It is a
big fantasy adventure story.”
Perkins plays a women
named Jane, who is the
daughter of the head librarian
and psychonaut, Hester.
During the play Jane falls
in love with a man named
Dewey, who is from a very
different background than
Jane.
For Perkins, one of the
most rewarding things
about being a part of this
production is being able to
play the role of Jane.
“I am so grateful to Sean
for writing a female character
in her 20s that is much
more fully formed than
what is around,” Perkins
said. “She gets to actively
do and experience a wide
range of things.”
Perkins said the major
themes of the play are
bridging differences and
leaning into acceptance,
tolerance and love, something
she finds relevant
today.
“I think it is shockingly
relevant right now with the
country coming together
and coming to terms with
the current political situation,”
Perkins said. “As
the year has gone on I have
found it to be applicable to
life.”
“Psychonaut Librarians”
runs through Feb. 12 at The
Den Theater Upstairs Main
Stage, 1333 N. Milwaukee
Ave., Chicago. Tickets can
be purchased at www.thenewcolony.org.
“
I’ve reviewed about 4,000 SHOWS. None can
compare to what I saw tonight.”
—Richard Connema, renowned Broadway critic
“Absolutely THE NO.1 SHOW in the world!”
— Kenn Wells, former lead dancer of the English National Ballet

Memoriam
From Page 14
to service and principled
leadership.
He counted the late Joseph
Cardinal Bernardin
among his close friends.
His gift for language
gave voice to both strong
sentiment and a deep
spirituality, and he filled
countless notebooks with
poems that expressed his
knowledge of God’s love,
his devotion to Mary, the
mother of Jesus, and the
great love he shared with
Sheila.
Hulseman was “a man
of great spiritual depth,”
Fr. Donald Senior said,
president emeritus and
chancellor of CTU. “He
and Sheila were exceptionally
generous to Catholic
Theological Union
and so many other charities.”
“Bob” to his friends and
“Papa” to his grandchildren,
he was known for
his sense of humor, which
manifested in many a bad
joke, great wit and his ability
to spin a partner on the
dance floor. He had a gift
for music, which he inherited
from his mother, and
his family and friends remember
fondly the times
he sat down at the piano to
entertain. As a young man,
he had his father’s talent
for polo, and throughout
his life he was a competitive
tennis player.
“He was always incredibly
kind, funny and
smart,” said Scott Zeller,
who worked closely with
Hulseman as his personal
trainer from 2002 to 2013.
“He had a great love for
his family, his friends and
his relationship with his
church.”
Hulseman is survived
by nine children: Robert
(Betty), Richard (Kelly),
Paul (Patrice), Margaret
Kovach (Joseph), Joseph
(Frances), Thomas (Esteban
Diaz), Lawrence
(Amanda), Patricia (Brian
Abrams) and William; 29
grandchildren: Liam Hulseman;
Zachary Lucas;
Colin, Patrick, Conor,
Michael, Sean, Molly,
Brendan, Brian, Kathleen,
Devitt, Delia, Emmett and
Aidan Hulseman; Kaitlin,
Elizabeth (Ryan Duggan),
Greta and Joseph Kovach;
Kathryn, Anna, Clare
and Sheila Hulseman;
David and Sarah Kloos;
Lawrence and Charles
Hulseman; and Erin and
Michaela Abrams. He is
also survived by a brother,
John Hulseman (the
late Georgia), brother-inlaw
of Eileen Samuelson
(Alan) and Judith Murphy,
OSB, of Chicago; and was
an uncle to 11 nieces and
nephews. He was predeceased
by his wife, Sheila
Murphy Hulseman, and
a daughter, Jean Kloos
(Robert).

Re-Invent Gallery closes doors and opens up new chapter
Alyssa Groh, Editor
For the past five years
Re-Invent Gallery in Lake
Forest has been home to a
variety of artists delivering
new and changing art work
to the community. After
years of learning and bringing
art to the community,
owners Kristin Mikrut and
Cecilia Lanyon decided to
close the gallery’s doors.
“As the world continues
to change so do facets and
the way people interact with
art,” Mikrut said. “[Closing
the gallery] was a tough
decision but it was the right
call in the right timeline for
us. [Owning the gallery]
was a special time in our
lives. We will always look
back to and know it shaped
our lives, but it is time for
the next chapter.”
Mikrut and Lanyon met
when they were 11 years
old in an art class and from
there, their passion for art
grew. When they were 24
and had graduated college,
both studying different areas
of art, they met up during
winter break and came
up with the idea to open an
art gallery.
“Kristin and I had both
been artists our entire lives
and talked about wanting
to give back to the artistic
community and support it
the way it supported us as
young emerging artists,”
Lanyon said.
While they were on winter
break they learned of a
retail space that was available
for purchase and the
two young artists jumped on
the opportunity and began
shaping the 4,000 square
foot space to become known
as Re-Invent Gallery.
“Wanted to make the
gallery really acceptable,”
Mikrut said. “We wanted to
offer art at a range of prices
to all ages and abilities. It
has been special for us to
support everyone’s artistic
passion in whatever realm
of their life it is.”
From the beginning they
knew they wanted to have
a working studio space for
working artists and a gallery
space, and on May, 28, 2012
Re-Invent opened its doors.
Since opening its doors,
Re-Invent hosted workshops
for people to come and learn
about art, fundraisers, parties
and recently partnered
with Artists on the Bluff.
Through all of the different
events, artists and workshops
the gallery hosted,
Mikrut believes it became a
metaphor for the gallery.
“People say start with a
blank canvas and I think
while there was rotating
arts and a lot to look at, I
still think it was a blank
canvas and at any given
point it was turned into a
new piece of art,” Mikrut
said.
Although Re-Invent Gallery
is closing, the space
will stay open for Artists on
the Bluff and the artists who
were residents there.
Both Mikrut and Lanyon
said they have learned a lot
during the past five years at
Re-Invent Gallery.
“I think we would both
like to say when we met,
this community really fostered
our creativity,” Mikrut
said. “Growing up and being
able to come full circle
and have this space for five
years, and being able to involve
so many people in the
community and beyond has
been such a gift. We want to
say thank you so much to
the community for supporting
us while we were there.”

Memphis meets Glenview
Dry-rubbed,
smoked meats a
staple at JD’s Q
and Brew
Chris Pullam
Contributing Editor
JD’s Burger ($9.95) features a half-pound Angus patty served on a toasted pretzel
bun with spicy barbecue sauce, pulled pork, bacon, cheddar and fried onion rings,
along with the standard lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle, plus a side of your choice.
Photos by Matt Yan/22nd Century Media
After graduating from
Loyola University with a
degree in marketing, Gary
Shupak worked in consulting
for six months before
making a life-changing realization.
“I wasn’t meant for that
world,” he said. “I love
food and I love serving
people. I love beer and the
concept of bringing it to
people. If you don’t love it,
it’s a job. But if you love it,
it’s a passion.”
To make his passion a
career, Shupak embarked
on a 25-year journey that
traversed the culinary landscape.
He ran a cafe at Roosevelt
University for nearly
a decade, specialized in
corporate dining in Rolling
Meadows and Schaumburg,
and then opened
JD’s Q & Brew in Arlington
Heights, a Memphisstyle
barbecue restaurant
that blends dry-rubbed and
smoked meats with a selection
of 80 craft beers that
hail from Chicago and St.
Louis to Mexico City and
Leuven, Belgium.
“We stuck with what we
knew,” Shupak said. “We
did our homework and
traveled to Memphis, Austin
and Kansas City. Then,
we put all those concepts
together. But Midwesterners
are different, so we
had to tweak it to fit their
tastes.”
All of that was four years
ago. Late this past November,
Shupak brought his expertise
to the North Shore.
A group of 22nd Century
Media editors and I recently
visited JD’s Q & Brew’s
new Glenview location to
taste Shupak’s creations for
ourselves.
We started with the garbage
salad ($8.95), a cacophony
of mixed greens,
bacon, egg, cucumbers, tomatoes,
artichokes, onions,
hearts of palm and Greek
house dressing. Other
salad options include the
Greek ($8.95), Southwest
($8.95) and classic Caesar
($6.95), each served with
your choice of house-made
dressings ranging from
ranch and blue cheese to
Thousand island and honey
mustard.
Next up? The Northbrook
Tower Editor Matt
Yan’s favorite: a half-slab
of pork ribs ($19.95) glazed
in JD’s signature Memphisstyle
sauce. Chipotle and
Carolina barbecue are also
available upon request.
Every item on the platter
menu, including the halfslab,
comes with a dinner
roll and two sides, including
fried onion strings,
loaded baked potatoes,
baked beans, sweet potato
fries and baked potatoes.
We chose the mac and
cheese and french fries, and
neither disappointed.
The mac and cheese,
my personal favorite, was
simple yet delicious, with
a layer of baked bread
crumbs insulating a deep
dish of creamy cheddar
cheese and noodles. The
french fries are coated in a
blend of 10 herbs and spices
that Shupak preferred to
keep to himself.
Other items on the platter
menu include Cajun sausage
($11.95), topped with
grilled onions and peppers
over spice, and the family
platter ($44.95, feeds
four to six people), which
includes two pounds of
pulled pork, pulled chicken
or smoked beef brisket, as
well as four sides and dinner
rolls.
Then we turned our attention
to JD’s burger, The
Lake Forest Leader Editor
Alyssa Groh’s favorite
dish. The juicy patty is
served on a pretzel bun and
topped with spicy barbecue
sauce, pulled pork, bacon
cheddar cheese and friend
onion strings. This option

11 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday-
Saturday
hits the spot for any burger
lover who can’t stand to
leave JD’s without a taste
of the restaurant’s signature
sauce.
The barbecue bacon
cheddar burger ($8.95),
garnished with fried onion
strings; Cajun burger
($8.95), topped with house
spices, jalapeno bottle caps
and pepper jack cheese;
grilled portabella ($8.95),
complete with melted provolone,
avocado and friend
onion strings; and smoked
brisket sandwich ($9.95),
featuring sliced, chopped
or burnt ends, round out
healthful burger and sandwich
menus. Lettuce, tomato,
onion, pickle and a
half-pound of prime Angus
beef anchor every option in
the burger section.
The seafood menu features
10-piece shrimp
Customers can order a half-slab and their choice of
meat ($19.95) from among JD’s many platter options.
Pictured here are a slab of pork ribs, beef brisket and
mac and cheese, along with a dinner roll.
Corn bread and baked beans are a couple of JD’s sides
($2.50 each).
($11.95), blackened or
grilled tilapia ($11.95), and
the seafood trio ($13.95),
which combines tilapia,
grilled shrimp and bay scallops.
Appetizers include
fried green beans ($3.95),
sweet potato hush puppies
($3.95), jalapeno caps
($3.95), turkey legs ($5.95)
and rib tips ($11.95). JD’s
soup choices run the gamut
from chicken noodle soup
($1.95 cup, $3.95 bowl),
Cajun gumbo served over
rice ($1.95 cup, $3.95
bowl) and beef chili topped
with onions and shredded
cheese ($2.50 cup, $4.50
bowl).
Lunch and dinner specials
vary day to day and
touch on all sections of the
overall menu, ranging from
tilapia or crawfish po’boy
on Monday to a barbecue
brisket sandwich on Saturday.
JD’s also specializes in
catering events and parties.
The catering menu hits on
all the restaurant’s in-house
favorites, from salads and
appetizers to smokehouse
barbecue and seafood. Shupak
hopes the Glenview
restaurant will eventually
match the off-site volume
of the Arlington Heights
location.
“When it’s a first time
event, especially with a
larger organization, I want
to make sure setup is to my
specifications and that the
foods gets delivered hot,”
Shupak said. “I make sure
I meet the host and introduce
myself and give them
a little knowledge about
what we do and how we
can secure their business in
the future, as well.”

Athlete of the Week
10 Questions
with Ellie Pearson
would you choose and
why?
I would choose the ability
to fly because I think
it would be cool to look
down and see everything
moving as an orderly system
and be able to get to
places faster.
Pearson is a sophomore
power forward on the
Lake Forest High School
girls basketball team.
How long have
you been playing
basketball and how
did you get started
with it?
I’ve been playing since
second grade. I started because
a lot of my friends
were playing and it looked
like a lot of fun, so I wanted
to join in.
What’s the most
challenging thing about
playing basketball?
I definitely think not
letting the mistakes get to
your head if you’re having
a rough game is really
hard, playing through adversity.
Do you have a
favorite NBA or
WNBA player?
I really like Elena Delle
Donne. I like the way that
she’s so confident about
her skills and her team.
What do you usually
eat before a game?
Usually something light,
like a (energy or protein)
bar or a sandwich.
Do you have any New
Year’s resolutions?
In general I want to work
on my basketball game.
I’d like to improve by going
up stronger in the post
and going into contact.
If you could have any
superpower, which
If you could travel
anywhere, where
would you go and
why?
I want to go to Bora
Bora because I saw this
picture of these tiki hut
things that sit on the water
and they looked so cool
because the water is so
clear and blue.
What is your favorite
book or movie?
I just saw “Collateral
Beauty” and that was really
good.
What’s the best
coaching advice you’ve
been given?
Probably to learn from
your mistakes. If you make
a bad pass on offense, get
it back with good defensive
play.
What’s the best part
varsity views
of being an athlete at
LFHS?
Really its just playing
with my teammates and
the camaraderie that we all
have together.

Caxys defeat Giants in home opener
Todd Marver
Freelance Reporter
The Caxys were road
warriors, opening the season
winning 10 of their
first 13 games, all away
from home.
Lake Forest Academy
(11-3) finally played its
first home game of the
2016-2017 season on
Saturday, Jan. 7, against
Highland Park (6-8) and
came away with a 55-37
victory.
“The road toughens
you up,” LFA coach Matt
Vaughn said. “We had
some success on the road.
We played with good
emotion and guys were
fired up and that helped
us. And we’re always focused
when we play Highland
Park. It’s always been
a good game for us being
so close and we’ve played
them really tight through
the years. We were ready
to play.”
After holding a 9-7 first
quarter lead, the Caxys
went on a 12-0 run to
grab a 21-7 advantage
with 6:11 remaining in the
second quarter. The Giants
responded with a 6-0
run to close their deficit
to 21-13, but the Caxys
countered with a 9-2 run
to grab their largest advantage
of the first half at
30-15.
“I think we were driving
well,” LFA senior
guard Chris Harris said.
“We got open shots off the
drive, so that was good.
My teammates picked
me up a lot. We were just
getting shots and we just
got open and we got into
a groove. We knew we
needed to come out strong
because our last couple of
games we didn’t come out
too strong.”
Daniel Michelon (3) shoots a fadeaway jumper for
Highland Park in the contest.
Highland Park ended
the first half on an 8-0
run to go into the halftime
break trailing 30-23.
“We felt pretty good
at halftime,” Paul Harris
said. “We finished
the second quarter well
and came into the locker
room and just said, ‘It’s
the first game after break
and maybe we’re trying to
do things a little too fast.’
So we really just tried to
be calm and talk to the
guys about slowing things
down. But that’s where
you give your opponent
credit because they just
made it really difficult for
us to do that.”
The Caxys outscored
the Giants 8-5 in the third
quarter to extend their
lead to 38-28. The Caxys
opened the fourth quarter
on a 7-0 run to extend
their lead to 45-28 and led
by as much as 20 points in
the final period en route to
the 18-point victory.
“It’s one thing we’ve
been talking a lot about is
how to stop a team when
they’re making a run,”
Paul Harris said. “We
can’t always call timeout,
so we have to do a better
job on the floor of kind
of digging in and getting
stops and having good
possessions on the offensive
end.”
Vaughn felt Highland
Park experienced fatigue
in the fourth quarter.
“I think we got into a
full court game and I think
those guys actually got a
little tired,” Vaughn said.
“I think we tired them out
a little bit and I think we
kind of wore them down
a little bit. Our defense
really picked it up. Our
offense was still a little
all over the place in the
fourth quarter but defensively
I think we did a
nice job.”
Chris Harris finished
with a game-high 16
points for the Caxys and
Highland Park junior

guard Daniel Michelon
recorded a team-high 13
points for the Giants.
“(Chris Harris) is pretty
athletic,” Paul Harris
said. “I would say if
I’m a college coach, I’m
paying attention to him.
I don’t think he’s getting
a tremendous amount of
attention, but I think he
should be. He can shoot,
he makes his teammates
better and he can jump
out of the gym. We saw
some examples of that.
A few of those lobs I
thought we defended
pretty well, but if they
throw it high enough
he’s going to get it.”
The Giants will be back
in play on Friday night
when they travel to Maine
East for a 7 p.m. start,
while the Caxys will take
on Willowbrook in a MLK
Tournament from Sterling
High School at 1 p.m. on

Scouts lose Summerville in win over Giants
Derek Wolff, Sports Editor
Maeve Summerville
scored the opening basket
of the game and rattled off
7 of Lake Forest’s first 10
points in a little over four
and a half minutes, quickly
prompting a timeout from
visiting Highland Park on
Wednesday, Jan. 4, in Lake
Forest.
But when the versatile
junior forward’s night ended
prematurely with an ankle
injury early in the third
quarter, the Scouts (13-5)
had to find someone else
to give the ball to.
Running the offense
through freshman Halle
Douglass, the Scouts recovered
from the setback
to top the Giants, 54-36.
Senior point guard Delaney
Williams had a teamhigh
14 points, including
9 in the second half, while
Douglass had 9.
Summerville finished
with 10 in 12:24 of playing
time after being fouled
early in the third quarter
and having to leave the
game due to injury.
“You watch someone
like that go down, someone
who’s been the leading
scorer, leading the
team in rebounding, doing
all these things, it was nice
to see Delaney (Williams)
and a bunch of people step
up,” Scouts head coach
Kyle Wilhelm said. “After
that we had a really balanced
effort. There were
a lot of little plays that
helped overall for a good
team win.”
Lake Forest found a balance
in the second half
and received contributions
from everywhere after taking
a 27-18 lead into halftime.
10 different Scouts
registered a point or more
in the victory.

Pomian/22nd Century Media
The Scouts got out to a
10-2 run, punctuated by a
3-pointer and layup from
Summerville on back-toback
possessions. Highland
Park closed the gap
by the end of the quarter
to 10-7 after Kirby Bartelstein
knocked down a
trey and Addie Budnik hit
a jump shot.
Lake Forest opted for a
larger lineup to begin the
game, starting four players
at 6-feet tall or more,
which limited Highland
Park’s efficiency and opportunities
in the low post.
Both sides made adjustments
in the second
quarter to open the floor
and Highland Park earned
more opportunities in the
paint. Budnik, senior forward
Lily Kahn, junior forward
Lily Biagi and junior
shooting guard Kirby Bartelstein
all added points for
the Giants as they trimmed
Lake Forest’s lead to nine
by halftime.
Budnik finished the
game with 10 points,
while Kahn finished with
2 points off free throws.
Wilhelm credited forward
Ellie Pearson with containing
Highland Park’s bigs
throughout the game.
Ellie Pearson did a great
job of post defense and really
understands the positioning,”
Wilhelm said. “Even
when they did catch the
basketball, she knows how
to neutralize what they like
to do. She’s so smart with
getting in the right positions
and if you tell her what to
look for she does a great job
of listening and following
through on defense.”
Following Summerville’s
injury, Douglass
started the third quarter
with 5 straight points for
the Scouts before Highland
Park threatened,
cutting the deficit to five
points at 32-27 after a Sydney
Ignoffo 3-pointer.
Williams took over for
the Scouts, hitting Lake Forest’s
next 5 points en route
to a 39-29 advantage at the
end of the third quarter.
The Scouts got contributions
from their bench
throughout the fourth
quarter, where Annie Aberle,
Grace Tirzmalis, Jen
Whittington and Veronica
Giordano all added tallies.
Highland Park won
the rebounding battle
on the defensive boards
throughout the night, 27-
21, though Lake Forest
totaled one more rebound
at 39-38. Both sides shot
30 percent from the floor,
though Lake Forest took
26 more shots after being
the beneficiaries of Highland
Park’s 22 turnovers.
If the Scouts are forced
to be without Summerville
for any extended period of

time, it won’t be anything
knew for a team still playing
without Audrey Kaus.
The Scouts were plagued
by injuries throughout the
2015-16 campaign as well.
“Between Halle and
Delaney, they’ve done
such a good job all year
of handling the ball and
working with each other
and working off of one another,”
he said. “They’re
starting to penetrate more
and do more things.
“Last year, all of the
players that had to step up,
we had a ton of injuries last
year. We’ve been forced
to get a lot of people into
those situations, so I’m
ready for whoever to step
up in those situations and
fill in the void for us.”

Thanks to a pair of outstanding
performances,
Loyola Academy came out
on top in the New Trier
Winter Dive Classic on
Saturday, Jan. 7 in Winnetka.
Chris Canning finished
second behind Niles
North’s Max Royzen,
while Alex O’Toole was
fifth in the Jan. 7 event that
involved 32 contestants
from 19 schools.
Royzen had 552 points;
Canning had 529.15
points; and O’Toole had
456.70.
Going into the last of the
11 rounds, Canning was
breathing down Royzen’s
neck with only 3.35 points
separating them. But
Royzen was ultra-strong
in his final dive, enabling
him to pull away.
“It wasn’t my best,”
Canning said in evaluating
a performance that saw
him stay in second place
every round. “It was upand-down.
“But it was a good experience,
especially because
the state tournament will
be here in this pool. You
get a feel for the environment.
The competition
kind of resembles state;
this is what it’s going to be
like first day.”

diving for the University
of Michigan next season,

“I would say if I’m a college coach, I’m
paying attention to him. I don’t think he’s
getting a tremendous amount of attention,
but I think he should.”

finished fourth in the state
tournament as a freshman,
third as a sophomore and
second last year.
O’Toole also made it to
the state tournament last
season but wasn’t a championship
contender.
“I’m trying to work
harder this year so I can
do better,” the junior said.
“Today I was nervous going
in. There were a few
things I could have done
better but overall I’m happy
with how I did.”
Loyola coach Tony
D’Amico is pleased with
the consistency of Canning
and O’Toole this season.
“Both have been very
solid,” he said. “I’ve
stressed finishing dives
and they’re doing the
things I’ve asked. That’s
great to see.
“Another thing is they
seem to be enjoying themselves.
They’re smiling;
they’ve having fun. I love
to see that.”
Three other divers from
North Shore schools made
the cut after the first five
rounds to advance to the final
field of 16—Glenbrook
North’s Ryan Cohn wound
up eighth (402.50 points),
New Trier’s Jack Connolly
came in 13th (351.55) and
Lake Forest’s Jay Grieve
was 15th (290.10).
The last six dives brought
out the best in Cohn, who

was in 12th place at the conclusion
of first five rounds.
“My easy dives were a
little shaky but I was happy
with my harder dives,” the
diminutive sophomore said.
According to GBN
coach Jessica Roby, “Ryan
learned a bunch of new
dives the last couple of
weeks and we tested them
today.”
New Trier coach Bruce
Kimball likes what he has
been seeing from Connolly
during his senior season.
“This year, Jack has a
little more power off the
board,” Kimball said. “His
progress has been great.
He just has a few things to
clean up but it’s relatively
Index
early in the season.”
Glenbrook South’s
Brendan Fontillas just
missed being part of the
final 16 group, finishing
17th after five rounds. He
picked up 164.60 points,
leaving him 4.15 points
shy of 16th place.
“There’s two dives I
wish we could have done
a redo,” GBS coach Laura
Duffy said. “When you hit
three of five you’re on the
bubble.
“But if you want them
there at the end of the
season you have to throw
them in (high quality competition)
now.”
Lake Forest finished
15th in the competition.
