Glenview’s Got Talent raises $40,000 for D34 

Neil Milbert 

Freelance Reporter 

Nobody who came to 

St. John Brebeuf Church 

in Niles to see Glenview’s 

Got Talent on Saturday, 

March 11, had any regrets 

about missing “Saturday 

Night Live.” 

Not only was the local 

talent show a smashing 

success artistically, it was 

a financial success as well, 

raising more than $40,000 

for the Glenview Education 

Foundation to fund 

Glenview School District 

34 education grants. 

Cathy Cunningham and 

Jennifer Kramer were the 

co-chairs of the inaugural 

event, which was an outgrowth 

of the 2015 Dancing 

With the Local Stars 

benefit for the Glenview 

Education Foundation. 

“In October we were 

asking interested acts 

to send in videos so we 

could select the 12 for the 

show,” Cunningham said. 

“Then, starting Feb. 5, we 

gave a little taste by putting 

videos of [up to] two 

minutes on the District 34 

website. Farah Patt, who 

is a senior at Glenbrook 

South, helped create all 

but one video. Acts also 

were posted on social media 

outside Glenview and 

people could vote for their 

favorites by making online 

credit card donations.” 

Voting continued on the 

night of the performances 

with both cash and online 

credit card donations. 

Three trophies were presented: 

Critic’s Choice, 

consensus selection of the 

three guest judges; People’s 

Choice, the act that raised 

the most money through 

online and on-site contributions; 

and Best of Show, the 

audience favorite. 

Earning both the Critic’s 

Choice and People’s 

Choice trophies for its 

rousing rendition of The 

Beatles’ “Hey Jude” was 

Brass Backwards, a brass 

quintet made up of Dave 

Morris and Aaron Wojcik 

on trumpet, Melissa Read 

on horn, Greg Wojcik on 

trombone, and Jim Baumstark 

on tuba. 

A drumline youth band 

consisting of District 34 

students made a spirited 

appearance at the end of 

the performance, evoking 

a standing ovation from 

the audience. 

“Amazing interpretation 

of the tune, and then the 

youth band coming in,” 

said judge Matvey Kostukovsky, 

cofounder and director 

of music and audio 

production at Terra Sounds 

School of Music and Arts. 

“Fantastic,” added judge 

Ann Marie Shipstad, cultural 

arts manager for the 

Glenview Park District. 

“You guys stayed in character 

and the band coming 

in at the end was just incredible.” 

The Best of Show trophy 

went to Pat & Cat Unplugged, 

the acoustic singing 

duet of Pat Garvey and 

Catherine Rolfes, for their 

version of The Civil Wars’ 

“Barton Hollow.” 

“That was a captivating 

performance — lots of 

emotion and a really sound 

rhythmic foundation,” judge 

Mark Maranto, instructional 

supervisor for fine arts at 

Glenbrook South, told Garvey 

and Rolfes. 

“Loved it, loved it,” Kostukovsky 

added. “I could 

listen to that forever.” 

Performing musical solos 

were blues singer Katlyn 

Swanson, jazz singer 

Kaylee Durow and singer/ 

songwriter Alex Pataky. 

Other solo acts were 

performed by stand-up 

comic English John (John 

Howard); Zero Gravity comedian 

and juggler Chris 

Matsakis; and Catherine 

Rolfes’ husband, Tom 

Rolfes, a comedian with 

the rare talent of speaking 

backwards. 

The concluding act was 

The Happy Dancers, a 

Dancing with the 2015 Local 

Stars revival featuring 

eight individuals prominent 

in the community.

Glenview Park Board (3 candidates, 2 seats) 

Name: Charlie Kuhn 

Age: 55 

Occupation: 

Sales 

Past local 

government/relative 

experience: 

Board 

member 

Kuhn 

— Glenview Park District 

Board of Commissioners 

What do you see as the 

biggest issue facing the 

Glenview Park District 

and how would you approach 

it during your 

term? 

One of the challenges the 


faces is balancing the residents’ 

needs and wants 

relating to programs, services 

and facilities versus 

what the District can afford, 

based on generated 

revenue and taxes it collects. 

Currently, the GPD 

is exploring the feasibility 

of expanding the Glenview 

Ice Center from one-anda-half 

to two-and-a-half 

sheets of ice. The price tag, 

of course, is the issue. The 

estimates range from $10- 

12 million to add onto the 

existing structure to $18 

million-plus to bulldoze 

and begin anew. Clearly, 

there is a want and there 

is a need for an additional 

sheet of ice in Glenview 

and the District wants our 

residents to have highquality 

amenities, so it is 

currently exploring options. 

I wholeheartedly 

agree our community can 

and will benefit from an 

additional sheet of ice, but 

the expansion proposal 

must make economic sense 

or the GPD debt on the facility 

could hamstring the 

District for 20 years. While 

it’s easy to say “I support 

more ice,” it’s misguided, 

uninformed and reckless 

to say “regardless of cost.” 

Good governance requires 

understanding whether the 

District can afford the actual 

costs of more ice and 

what other priorities might 

have to be sacrificed if 

such costs are incurred. 

What makes you a top 

candidate? 

I am uniquely qualified 

to serve another term as 

a Glenview Park District 

commissioner because I 

have immersed myself 

in the role as representative 

of the Glenview Park 

District residents and I 

have always placed the 

taxpayer first. I take pride 

in doing what is best for 

the District and, at every 

turn, attempt to ensure the 

District spends taxpayer 

funds wisely. I have opposed 

every tax increase 

and successfully lobbied 

for flat taxes four out of 

the past six years. I am 

frugal by nature, as evidenced 

by the fact that I 

drive my 11-year-old 

pickup truck on a daily 

basis. My frugality is reflected 

in my decision 

making as it applies to 

GPD expenditures, and I 

treat GPD funds as if they 

were my own family’s 

funds. I work from home 

and am available to attend 

nearly every scheduled 

meeting — in fact, during 

my tenure, I have attended 

more than 250 GPD meetings. 

I sincerely hope to 

serve my fellow residents 

for one more elected term.

term? 

Several potential projects 

are on the horizon, including 

expanding the Ice 

Center, renovating Park 

Center and adding a naval 

air station museum. The 

financial impact of these 

projects should be considered 

carefully, along with 

the GPD’s strategic plan. 

The GPD has worked hard 

over the past several years 

to keep its portion of the 

property tax flat, but the 

technique used may not 

be sustainable over the 

long-term. In addition, 

Barb Cremin, the current 

deputy director, is retiring 

in April. Barb has done an 

excellent job providing financial 

leadership for the 

GPD for many years. The 

Board, Director Michael 

McCarty and the new 

deputy director will need 

to find the right balance 

for the GPD to continue 

to provide the quality of 

facilities our community 

expects while practicing 

fiscal responsibility. 


candidate? 

I love Glenview, and I am 

a passionate advocate for 

our Park District. 

I bring a unique array of 

experiences. I’ve been both 

a stay-at-home mom and a 

working mom in Glenview 

since 1998. I’m an attorney 

currently practicing realestate 

law. I’ve worked on 

PTAs; educational task 

forces; non-profit Friends 

of Wagner Farm, which I 

founded; and the League 

Don’t just list 

your real estate 

property... 

of Women Voters. I also 

chaired a parent advisory 

board at the Ice Center, 

and I’m a Master Gardener 

volunteer. However, it’s 

my experience as a staff 

member at Wagner Farm 

that sets me apart. As a 

recent employee of one of 

our fantastic museum sites, 

I know firsthand the effort 

and planning that goes into 

running our facilities. 

My goals are simple. 

First, I want to ensure that 

we are providing quality 

programs for our entire 

community, paying 

attention to our changing 

demographics. Second, 

I want to ensure that we 

fulfill the mission of being 

an employer of choice. As 

the first employer of many 

of our teen residents, the 

GPD has an opportunity 

to provide quality employment 

while modeling best 

practices. Finally, I will 

work to both protect our 

natural resources and to 

expand and improve upon 

our sustainable practices at 

all facilities.

term? 

How to continue to maintain, 

develop and enhance 

the District’s outstanding 

facilities, programs and 

events while still protecting 

residents from excessive 

property taxes or user 

fees. 

Some priorities will be 

to: 

• Partner with others to 

add a second full sheet 

of indoor ice, keeping 

more skaters in Glenview 

in a financially responsible 

manner, with community 

input on how to 

finance it 

• Reduce the 1998 Farm 

& Fields referendum’s tax 

increase, once the bonds 

issued to develop Wagner 

Farm and Community 

Park West are paid off in 

2020, to the level needed 

to maintain and operate 

the Farm and those sports 

fields, as promised in 

1998 

• Allow non-motorized 

boating on Lake Glenview, 

preserving safety 

and nature 

• Upgrade offerings appealing 

to ethnic groups, 

sports groups and people 

with shared interests 

• Treasure The Grove, 

Wagner Farm, Air Station 

Prairie to experience nature 

and history 

• Deepen partnerships 

to deliver the best at the 

least cost 


candidate? 

I am proud of our accomplishments 

these six years 

in terms of new/enhanced 

facilities, programs and 

events. Plus, we: 

• Had virtually no increase 

in property taxes 

over the past six years, 

nor in salaried employees 

• Maintained the District’s 

Aaa bond rating, 

allowing borrowing at the 

lowest interest rates 

• Drew down reserves 

and refinanced bonds 

• Discontinued free use 

of District facilities for 

former commissioners 

I went to elementary 

and junior high school 

in Glenview. I graduated 

from Loyola Academy as 

valedictorian, then attended 

Drake University and 

received an MBA from 

Northwestern University. 

I am a certified public 

accountant. As an instrument-rated 

private pilot, I 

have taken more than 150 

kids flying through the 

Young Eagles program. 

I received a Presidential 

Award for volunteering 

and was named Glenview’s

Glenview Village Board (4 candidates, 3 seats) 

Name: Deborah (Debby) Karton 

Age: 50 

Occupation: 

President, National 

Benefit Administrators 

Past local government/relative 

experience: I Karton 

have been serving 

as a village trustee since 2005. 

In this role, I was an early advocate 

for the widening of Willow 

Road through Northfield, 

as well as working with IDOT 

and local legislators. One of my 

priorities as a board member 

has been maintaining our commitment 

to keeping property 

taxes low. Glenview’s residential 

property taxes, per capita, 

are the lowest of the 19 surrounding 

communities in the 

area. I have been a champion 

for Glenview’s leadership on 

our municipal partnering initiative. 

Finally, I have looked 

for opportunities for our community 

to go “green,” and was 

instrumental in the placement of 

recycling containers in Village 

buildings. 

What do you see as the biggest 

issue facing the Village 

of Glenview and how do you 

plan to approach it during 

your term? 

The current budget stalemate in 

Springfield will have tremendous 

impact on Glenview. We 

rely on the State of Illinois for 

a variety of funds, including the 

local government distributive 

fund, sales taxes and Personal 

Property Replacement Tax, and 

they also mandate service/pricing/benefit 

levels that Village 

residents must pay, which effect 

the price of our construction 

projects, pensions and employee 

benefit packages. The state 

has already started reducing the 

amount of money distributed 

to the municipalities, so it will 

be our challenge to keep service 

levels stable without adding 

an undue tax burden to our 

taxpayers. This is consistent 

with my successful track record 

of working with staff to innovate 

the way Village services 

are delivered all while keeping 

the tax burden relatively 

stable. 

What makes you a top candidate 

for this position? 

In addition to my roles that I outlined 

above, I have developed a 

reputation for asking probing 

questions of the staff, such as 

“Is this the most efficient way 

to use our taxpayer’s money” 

and “Is there another way to do 

this that would produce a better 

outcome?” 

With my leadership and service 

over the past 12 years, I 

will be a partner to assuring 

that we have a smooth transition 

with our new village manager 

later this year. There is no 

one more committed to making 

Glenview a premier community 

for our residents and businesses, 

and for our many visitors who 

enjoy our shopping and restaurants.

Past Local government/ 

relative experience: I am 

currently a board member on 

the Glenbrook South Booster 

Club. I have been chairman of 

the Economic Planning Board 

for the Midwest for my faith 

community. I have also been 

vice chair for the Midwest 

AKF, a charity that is known 

worldwide. I have also been 

on the “other side of the dais” 

in getting development approvals 

approved by different 

communities for many of my 

stores and shopping centers. I 

understand development from 

a developer’s perspective. 


issue facing the Village 

of Glenview and how do you 

plan to approach it during 

your term? 

Glenview is a great place to 

live and work. A major objective 

is to help keep it that way. 

One of my major concerns is 

the railroad holding track proposal 

and the impact it will 

have on the citizens of Glenview. 

I know that the Village 

has strongly opposed this initiative 

and I fully support those 

efforts. I also feel the current 

budget issues in Springfield 

will have an impact on Glenview. 

We need the historical 

funds from the state of Illinois 

for a variety of things and 

those funds could be impacted 

by an ultimate budget “deal.” 

It will be my, and the Board’s, 

challenge to keep service at 

current levels without adding 

an undue tax burden to the 

residents of Glenview. 



My family came to this country 

with literally nothing. We 

have worked hard and now 

employ hundreds of workers 

in Glenview and surrounding 

communities, and we are 

truly the classic reflection of 

the American Dream. I am 

a business owner with more 

than 1,000 employees. I think 

my business management 

skills will be very valuable 

in helping oversee what is a 

complex $150-million business. 

We have a trustee with 

strong financial skills retiring 

from the board, and I hope I 

can backfill some of the skills 

he provided. I know how to 

balance budgets and read financial 

statements. I hope to 

bring these traits to the Village 

of Glenview.

issue facing the Village of Glenview 

and how do you plan to approach 

it during your term? 

I believe that the selection and 

compensation of the next village 

manager, and the overall valuation 

and philosophy of Village Services, 

are our biggest issues. The 

Village is in outstanding financial 

shape. The question, as I see it, is 

whether we prioritize paying exorbitant 

bonuses to the manager 

and department heads or reinvest 

From the Village 

Project of the Year 

The Village of Glenview was 

presented the Flood Risk Reduction 

Project of the Year award by 

the Illinois Association for Floodplain 

and Stormwater Managers at 

its annual meeting. 

The project permanently solved 

the frequent and long-standing 

flooding endured by a neighborhood 

constructed inside the 

flood way of the West Fork of 

in our service capacities and our 

downtown re-development, which 

is what I feel drives Glenview’s 

ability to support a positive business 

and residential community. 

Village Manager Todd Hileman 

was tasked with running the Village 

like a Fortune 500 company. 

As a result, the service levels have 

been reduced across the board 

from public works to public safety. 

Residents see that their streets are 

not swept as often, and definitely 

not as well, as they once were. 

Downed tree limbs and sewer grate 

obstructions aren’t attended to as 

quickly. Water main breaks are 

fixed “in stages” to avoid overtime 

instead of addressing the problem 

immediately. We are paying 

a guaranteed $375,000 for private 

snow removal this year in 5-of-12 

designated areas in town. How 

many times did you see a plow this 

winter? I’m committed to reevaluating 

whether this type of private

River. The collaborative venture 

involved the Village, the Metropolitan 

Water Reclamation District 

of Greater Chicago and the 

Illinois Emergency Management 

Agency. 

contracting is the best option, 

or if we are better off financially 

and satisfaction-wise handling 

through our own Village. The Citizen 

survey notes that residents are 

concerned with the lack of police 

visibility in their neighborhoods. 

These are the concerns that should 

drive the Board’s agenda. 



As the only independent running, 

I have nobody but the residents to 

answer to. In my role as a firefighter, 

I am in every corner of this great 

community. I interact with every 

demographic, from newborns to 

centenarians. I’m able to see what 

is working and what needs attention 

here in Glenview. I pledge to 

listen to community concerns and 

advocate on behalf of the residents 

so Glenview continues to be one of 

the best communities in which to 

live, work and play. 

Map Madness 

Every Monday in March, the 

Village will feature a GIS map 

and mapping tools on its Facebook

Occupation: 

Vice 

President 

— Financial 

Clearing Industry 

Hinkamp 

Past local government/ 

relative experience: I 

have served as village 

trustee since 2013 where 

I have strived to provide 

excellent service while 

keeping costs and taxes to 

a minimum. 

I previously served on

Board, as well as the Facilities 

Committee and Citizens 

Finance Committee. 



Village of Glenview and 

how do you plan to approach 


term? 

The biggest issue impacting 

Glenview is the budget 

crisis in Springfield. We 

rely on the state for funding 

in various forms and 

these sources are consistently 

threatened for reduction 

or elimination. As 

such, the board needs to 

continue to be vigilant to 

hold costs down and keep 

the budget under control. 

This will allow us to keep 

reserves at an optimal level 

and maintain our Aaa 

rating. 


candidate for this position? 

I provide the board with 

strong financial input and 

a commonsense approach 

to the issues facing the 

board and, by extension, 

the citizens of Glenview. 

My first term on the board, 

coupled with prior experiences 

serving other constituencies 

in Glenview, 

provides me with a unique 

perspective on how decisions 

of the board impact 

other government units. I 

am unencumbered by any 

conflicts and will continue 

to be able to provide unbiased 

and complete service 

to the Village.

Name: Laura J. Greenberg 

Age: 41 

cial innovation review, Lumina 

Foundation, Teach-for-America, 

Residence: Northbrook 

Occupation: 

Managing partner 

Past local govern- 

Communities-in-Schools and 

ment/relative experience: 

I bring 

tremendous experience 

to the School 

Greenberg 

Board. I have worked to optimize 

educational outcomes and 

have walked hundreds of different 

schools nationally through 

my work as SVP of New Futuro, 

a social enterprise that partnered 

with many outstanding organizations, 

including Stanford’s so- 

others to accelerate success in education. 

I have served on several 

not-for-profit boards, including 

Northern Illinois Girl Scouts, the 

D31 Education Foundation and 

others. I hold an MBA from the 

University of Chicago (Booth), 

giving me the financial background 

to strategically and responsibly 

manage the District’s 

resources. Finally, I currently 

manage a thriving consulting 

practice that focuses on organizational 

growth and maximizing 

performance of teams, critical to 

leading any organization. 

What do you think is the biggest 

issue facing District 31 

and how would you address it? 

This School Board will continue 

to be challenged to deliver educational 

excellence in a changing 

economic and educational 

landscape while maintaining 

critical fiscal responsibility to 

our taxpayers. I will continue to 

fight for all our constituents to 

maximize outcomes for all — 

students, staff and taxpayers. 



I am prepared to continue to provide 

strategic decision-making 

and leadership on our board. 

Over the last four years, I’ve 

been fortunate to serve our District 

as a school board member. 

In that time, we’ve smartly used 

our budget to maintain low class 

sizes, bring back extracurriculars 

and field trips, update curriculum, 

and become among the first 

school districts in the area to add 

full-day kindergarten, among 

other improvements. We have 

received a gold financial rating 

for fiscal management. 

For the past five years, I’ve 

served as the president of the 

D31 Education Foundation, raising 

more than $150,000 to bring 

1:1 technology, wifi infrastructure, 

an award-winning STEM 

lab, 3-D printing and a Makers 

Space to our schools. All of 

this was accomplished through 

fundraising, bringing these cutting-edge 

improvements to our 

schools without using taxpayer 

dollars. My husband and I have 

also served as active volunteers 

within the schools, volunteering 

across many, many district 

events and initiatives. 

Beyond all of the above, it is 

my passion and dedication to our 

schools and everyone we serve 

to make the best, most balanced 

decisions and to build a strong 

community that truly differentiates 

me as a candidate.

to become the first school district 

in Glenview/Northbrook to

We also astutely issued bonds at 

a low interest rate to fund capital 

improvements for our HVAC

issue facing District 31 and how 

would you address it? 

I feel our biggest issue is how 

to maintain and support the high 

level of education performance 

and achievement in our schools 

while offering a balance between 

the best programs and opportunities 

to our students. I am passionate 

about education in our schools 

and committed to ensuring that 

we are offering the best education 

for the children while maximizing 

and managing our resources. 

We need to continue hiring the 

best qualified staff with the right 

attitude and passion as they must 

challenge and empower our students 

to thrive to their highest 

potential and have fun doing it. I 

know that I can serve as an advocate 

for our students and families, 

while making the tough decisions 

that may be required by the limitations 

of our resources. 



Growing up the youngest of six. 

After high school, I made the 

important decision to put myself 

through college while working 

full time. I learned the value 

and importance of my education 

to which I earned my bachelor’s 

degree from Roosevelt University 

as a Computer Science major. 

My husband was raised in 

Glenview, where we are raising 

our two kids, ages 9 and 7, who 

attend Winkelman Elementary 

School. My children attended 

preschool at St. David’s, where I 

was a member of the preschool 

Parents Board for three years. 

I have now been a member of 

the District 31 PTC executive 

board for the past four years and 

participated in many of the various 

fundraisers and events in our 

district. This involvement has 

also given me the opportunity to 

get up close and personal with 

many children, families, teachers 

and administrators, and have had 

many meaningful conversations 

about their thoughts, concerns and 

ideas regarding our schools. I also 

feel I have a better understanding 

of how our programming money 

is being spent, how curriculum 

is formulated, how teachers are 

hired and why programs are selected 

and developed. I have faith 

that the relationships I have developed 

over all these years have 

earned their trust and respect to 

be their advocate and earn their 

vote as a representative on the

What do you think is the 

biggest issue facing District 

31 and how would 

you address it? 

The more significant issues 

currently facing the 

District include: 

• Managing the School 

District’s finances and 

balancing the proper 

management of scarce 

resources with our obligation 

to provide our children 

with a world-class 

education. This management 

requires foresight in 

that small expenditures or 

pay increases today could 

be substantial three, five 

and 10 years down the 

road. 

• Ensuring that the interests 

of the District are 

properly represented in 

property tax appeal matters. 

• Maintaining constructive 

working relationships 

within and outside 

of the board of education 

while maintaining the 

proper focus — the education 

of all the children 

within our District — despite 

noisy acrimony and 

divisiveness on the na- 



My wife, Kathi, and I 

have been blessed with six 

children. We have had at 

least one child in District 

31 for more than a decade 

and have a long-standing 

knowledge and understanding 

of both Field 

and Winkelman schools. 

I am a current District 31 

school board member and 

seek to continue what the 

District does well while 

assisting in the improvement 

of the District where 

warranted. 

Equally important is 

that there is a fairly steep 

learning curve for new 

members on this board. 

Matters of public finance 

are often Byzantine and 

complex. As a board 

member for the past four 

years, I have acquired 

much knowledge of these 

processes and have established 

positive working 

relationships with both 

District 31 Superintendent 

Dr. Alexandra Nicholson 

and Business Manager 

Cathy Lauria. This experience 

and knowledge will 

add to my ability to serve 

the community. 

Also, working as an attorney 

for more than two 

decades provides me another 

skill set to offer the 

community. Legal considerations 

come into play in 

almost every board decision, 

whether education-, 

governmental- or employment-related. 

Also, attorney 

presence on the board 

is imperative in light of 

Allstate property tax appeals, 

which must be managed 

on a continual basis.

Past local government/ 

relative experience: I 

have years of experience 

in management and leadership 

positions. In these capacities, 

I’ve been responsible 

for organizations of 

hundreds of individuals

annual budgets. I’ve 

also been involved in an 

advisory capacity on nongovernment 

boards. 

What do you think is the 

biggest issue facing District 

31 and how would 

you address it? 

Learning environment. We 

have some challenges, particularly 

in the lower grades, 

which impact the desirability 

for teachers and staff to 

join our district. We have 

old facilities and are close 

to capacity at Winkelman, 

which could cause an increase 

in class size. We have 

students requiring additional 

attention and we need to 

figure out how to best serve 

those students while also 

providing opportunities 

to challenge our strongest 

students. This all impacts 

the learning environment 

for our students. To address 

the situation, we first need 

to pay salaries that attract 

top talent for teachers and 

aides. We need to ensure we 

have enough aides to assist 

our teachers and provide a 

strong atmosphere for both 

academic and social growth 

of our children. In addition, 

we need a comprehensive, 

multi-year facilities plan to 

address the capacity concerns 

and the aging schools 

in our district. To achieve 

these objectives, we need a 

detailed review of the budget 

to ensure we are appropriately 

focusing our spending 

on the students and 

learning environment. 



I am an ideal candidate for 

this position. I have two 

daughters in the district (first 

and third grade) and will for 

the entirety of the four-year 

term. I am a long-standing 

resident and intend to remain 

in the community for 

many, many years. This provides 

me lots of incentives 

to work hard on creating a 

positive educational experience 

for our students. Plus, I

Northbrook/Glenview D30 Board of Education 

Parents, residents voice support for new Maple School 

Lauren Kiggins 


District 30 parents 

flocked to the Thursday, 

March 9 board meeting in 

support of the pending facility 

bond referendum to 

build a new Maple School. 

The referendum, set for 

the April 4 ballot, requests 

$36.3 million from taxpayers 

to aid the Maple construction. 

For each homeowner, 

this translates to 

approximately $47.55 per 

$1,000 of property taxes 

paid for up to 20 years. 

Offers Expire April 15, 2017 

Benjamin Schlechter, M.D., F.A.C.S. 

North Shore Aesthetics 

The remaining $5.2 million 

needed for construction 

will be sourced from the 

D30 fund balance. 

If the ballot does not pass, 

the District will likely address 

Maple’s needs through 

$15 million in health and 

life safety maintenance to 

the current structure, with 

funding obtained from $5.2 

million from the D30 fund 

balance, $10.7 million in 

debt service bonds and $20 

per every $1,000 of property 

taxes paid per household. 

D30 officials have stressed 

that the latter option would 

be more costly to the community 

because the building 

will need approximately 

$10 million in maintenance 

over the next 30 years. A 

new middle school, on the 

other hand, would reduce 

the need for major capital 

outlay for an estimated 30 

years. 

D30 parent and referendum 

campaign committee 

member Pat Dunbar 

echoed the inefficiency of 

repairing the current Maple 

School. 

“I am very proud that you 

made the decision to move 

forward on the referendum 

because that’s something 

that this district truly needs 

to address and needs to address 

now,” Dunbar said. 

“Kicking the can down 

the road, waiting to make 

the decision later, is going 

to make it more difficult, 

more costly, and it’s going 

to cheat the kids in our district 

that deserve the quality 

of education that our 

community expects and 

they should have. ... I will

Jeff St. John, an 18- 

year D30 resident and a 

member of the proposal’s 

citizens task force, also 

underlined the value of the 

pending project. 

“My daughter, who is 

currently at Maple School,

room right here know that 

and understand that, and I 

think it’s important for the 

whole community to know 

that and understand that. 

... I think it’s an incredible 

investment in our community 

and our kids, and 

what better way to cast a 

vote and pay tax dollars 

for something that’s right 

in our backyard.” 

“I feel like as a community 

we’re really on the 

cusp of something special 

and I’m excited to be a part 

of it,” D30 parent Joanna 

Kaplan added. “I just hope 

the community listens to 

the board’s recommendation: 

that they go out in 

support of this on April 4.” 

No one spoke against 

the referendum during the 

meeting. 

Although the focus has 

been on Maple, Wescott 

and Willowbrook schools 

haven’t been forgotten by 

the board. Board members 

recently approved 

two projects for Wescott 

and Willowbrook: $66,300 

in exterior tuck-pointing 

at Wescott and $229,785 

in door replacements at 

both schools. Furthermore, 

$878,080 worth of health 

and life safety updates to 

Wescott and Willowbrook 

will be executed in the coming 

years as part of the District’s 

Master Facility Plan. 

Superintendent Dr. Brian 

Wegley — amid the 

proposed mass spending 

throughout D30 — assured 

board and community 

members that there are 

not any other large-scale 

projects within the district 

planned in the short or 

long term.

respective projects, visit

THE NORTHBROOK TOWER 

Northbrook native who 

wrote Hollywood films 

dies after long battle with 

ALS 

Scott Lew knew how 

to find the silver lining in 

anything, even after being 

diagnosed with ALS, commonly 

known as Lou Gehrig’s 

disease. 

His outgoing personality 

was immediately evident 

to anyone who met him. 

He liked to crack jokes, 

as was shown in the first 

minutes of a documentary 

about his life, “Living 

With Lew,” produced in 

2008. 

“There’s a nice flash of 

the bald spot there,” Lew 

joked in the film as he spun 

in his wheelchair. “Actually 

the cool thing about me 

becoming more and more 

gimpy is I really don’t care 

about my hair loss at all.” 

Such was the humor 

with which he faced his 

predicament. 

The screenwriter was 

diagnosed in 2003 with 

ALS, a progressive neurodegenerative 

disease. 

Lew, a Glenbrook North 

alum, died Feb. 25 at the 

age of 48 in his Valley 

Glen, Calif. home, after 

battling his illness for 14 

years. 

“He was determined,” 

said Michael Lew, Scott’s 

father, “to achieve as much 

as he could, to do as much 

as he could and with Ann’s 

help he not only lasted 

for 15 years, he made two 

movies and wrote some 

TV programs. He achieved 

what some people don’t 

achieve in a lifetime.” 

Scott Lew took advantage 

of every day he had 

toward the end, submitting 

his last script in January.

Generous. Hilarious. 

Caring. Outgoing. 

When those are the 

words people use to describe 

you, it’s a sign of a 

good life. 

According to the people 

that knew him best, Daniel 

G. Collyer was all of 

these and much more. 

Sadly, the Loyola graduate 

died suddenly on Feb. 

13. Collyer was 56. 

“One of his hallmarks 

is that you never had 

any trouble asking him 

for help and he always 

wanted to help people,” 

said lifelong friend and 

fellow Wilmette resident 

Dave Fox, who graduated 

with Collyer from Loyola 

Academy in 1978. “Everybody 

that got to know 

him was immediately 

drawn to him and he was 

fun.” 

Born Feb. 23, 1960, 

Collyer was the cherished 

son of the late Theodore 

and Eilleen Collyer. He 

was also the dear brother 

of Cathy (Dave) Nettleton, 

Susie (Kevin) Medick, 

and Michael Collyer 

(Ann Repp). 

While growing up in 

Wilmette, Collyer and 

Fox attended St. Joseph’s 

School together for grade 

school. The two would 

continue their schooling 

at Loyola Academy where 

Collyer got a reputation 

for being a bit of a prankster. 

“For our group of 

friends, we always called 

him the ‘social director.’ 

Everybody would call 

him to find out where we 

Daniel Collyer, 56, a Loyola Academy graduate, recently 

passed away. Photo submitted 

should meet that night,” 

Fox said. “He was kind of 

the hub of our social circle. 

We had a large group 

of friends and he was at 

the center of it.” 

While at Loyola, Collyer 

met Wilmette native 

Tom Crowley, who currently 

lives in Wauconda. 

“It’s kind of funny how 

we became such good 

friends. We connected 

and became really tight 

throughout high school,” 

Crowley said. “We played 

rugby together. He was an 

excellent athlete. We used 

to do a lot of night skiing 

together.” 

Following graduation 

from Loyola, Collyer attended 

Xavier University 

before returning to the 

area. During his work 

career while living in 

Lincoln Park, he was a 

former director of community 

services at the 

Cook County State’s Attorney’s 

Office. He also 

later served as a director 

of marketing for the Illinois 

Public Treasurers Investment 

Pool at the State 

Treasurer’s office. 

During that time according 

to Fox, Collyer 

became interested in fixing 

up houses and working 

on rehab projects. He 

eventually decided he 

liked it enough to become 

a general contractor. After 

returning to Wilmette 

around 1998, he formed 

his own company, Collyer 

Home Remodeling. 

Crowley, an active musician, 

has many fond 

memories of Collyer 

showing up at his various 

gigs and participating in 

the shows to the roar of 

the crowd as they shard 

their love of music. 

Collyer was the beloved 

husband of Laura Collyer, 

nee Cross, and the loving 

father of Charlie and 

Jake Collyer. Laura Collyer 

grew up in Winnetka. 

Charlie Collyer is currently 

a freshman at Indiana 

University and Jake is a 

senior at New Trier. 

“Dan and Laura 

would’ve been married 

for 25 years this summer 

in June. They met through 

mutual friends,” Fox said. 

“Dan was always very active 

in the life of his kids. 

Dan and Laura were very

What’s his clients are saying… 

“Thomas is an outstanding realtor! He is without a doubt the 

most professional, caring, hard-working and thoughtful realtor 

we’ve ever had. We’ve sold a number of properties on the 

North Shore, but no one has else has shown the dedication, 

knowledge and integrity that Thomas possesses. He guided 

us through the process with clarity and empathy. He was 

communicative and accessible and always engaged with 

a tremendous sense of humor and graciousness. We were 

extremely pleased with the sale of our home and felt Thomas 

went above and beyond to deliver a wonderful result for our 

family.” 

“Tom was fabulous through and through. He was organized, 

informative and made us feel like we were truly being taken 

care of every step of the process. We couldn’t have dreamed 

of a better realtor.” 

“If I could give more stars, I would….Thomas Downing not 

only made this experience easy, but his personality and over

Making fertility easier, one bar at a time 

GBS grad creates 

nutrient bar that 

boosts fertility 

Courtney Jacquin 


Trying to get pregnant 

can be incredibly difficult 

and stressful for some. 

When going through fertility 

treatments, not only 

can the process be lengthy 

and expensive, trying to 

get your body in the best 

physical condition is another 

hurdle to jump. 

Fertility doctors often 

recommend an intense regimen 

of vitamins that can 

cost upward of $200 per 

month, for both men and 

women, to be in the best 

health possible for fertility. 

But GBS graduate Jill 

Spatz wondered, isn’t 

there a better way? 

Spatz, a mom of three and 

a fertility clinic nurse, combined 

her “obsession” with 

protein and granola bars 

with the necessary vitamins 

and nutrients needed for fertility 

in Barology, a line of 

bars for men and women 

with a blend of vitamins 

and antioxidants found to 

increase the chance of successful 

pregnancy. 

According to the Centers 

for Disease Control, 

the inability to have a 

child affects approximately 

6.7 million women in 

the United States annually, 

or 11 percent of the reproductive-age 

population. 

Infertility affects men and 

women almost equally — 

in 40 percent of infertile 

couples, the male partner 

is a contributing cause of 

the difficulty getting pregnant. 

Often, these couples 

seek assisted reproductive 

techniques, such as medication, 

surgery, or in-vitro 

fertilization. 

Jill Spatz, of Highland Park, creator of Barology bars, displays two of her fertility bars for women in her Highland 

Park home. Photos by Courtney Jacquin/22nd Century Media 

Spatz, who has worked 

as a nurse at the Fertility 

Centers of Illinois in 

Chicago for the last four 

years, has helped treat 

countless couples over the 

years who struggled with 

starting a family, as well 

as struggled herself to become 

a mother. 

Dr. Brian Kaplan, who 

runs the center, began 

recommending a slew of 

supplements for men and 

women over the past few 

years to increase the couple’s 

likelihood of pregnancy. 

After handing out 

page-long lists of vitamins 

with different dosages 

and frequencies, the 

clinic became inundated 

with questions about the 

regimen. 

“We were spending so 

much of our time talking 

about vitamins, which is 

great, but there’s so much 

else going on,” Spatz 

said. “This was becoming 

stressful when it shouldn’t 

be.” 

Enter: Barology. 

Spatz always wanted to 

become an entrepreneur 

and create something of 

her own, and Barology became 

just that for her. 

The bars, which are currently 

only sold online atbarologybar.com, 

come in 

blueberry almond and dark 

chocolate cherry flavors 

for women and dark chocolate 

cherry and blueberry 

key lime for men. The bars 

have a blend of vitamins 

and nutrients such as Co- 

Q10, Omega-3, pine bark 

extract, L-Arginine, Vitamin 

C, Vitamin E and 

more. 

By eating just one bar 

per day, patients are now 

able to easily get their necessary 

nutrients, without 

the headache of finding 

dozens of different supplements 

and spending hundreds 

of dollars per month. 

The bars are currently 

only sold by the dozen 

at $47.40/box, which 

amounts to a little more 

than $3 per day, a bargain 

compared to standard vitamin 

regimen. 

No, eating the bars won’t 

make you pregnant, they’ll 

just give you a line-up of 

vitamins and nutrients. 

After seeing success 

already in the first few 

months of the bars being 

sold — Barology launched 

in June — Spatz is planning 

to expand to a line of 

bars for anti-aging and for 

teens. 

“We eventually want to 

have a whole line like Vitamin 

Water of six to eight 

bars,” Spatz said. “The 

concept is cradle to grave, 

hitting something for everyone, 

all different ages. 

Barology bar in dark chocolate cherry flavor for women. The bars come in multiple 

flavors for women and men.

MEET TOULA 

As early as the 2nd grade, my parents couldn’t figure out why I willingly woke up two hours before 

school, until they saw me sitting in front of the mirror creating fun and different hair styles. That’s 

when my love for hair was born! Prior to my career at Pascal pour Elle, I was taught by some of the 

industry’s leading stylists, learning various cutting techniques. I love learning new skills to better 

my clients experience. So, I have taken up training opportunities at La fama Oribe in Miami and 

NYC, Caper in Las Vegas and Label. M Behind the Chair tours, etc. To better understand my clients 

and the vision they want me to create, my focus is on a great consultation. There is no greater 

reward than seeing my clients leave my chair feeling beautiful and confident and at the same time, 

becoming a part of our Pascal family! I am so glad I can get up and go to work enjoying what I do 

and feeling like and I am going to my second home!

Letters to the Editor 

Brickman endorses trustees 

for Glenview Village Board 

As the daughter of a life 

member of the Glenview 

Fire Department, I am second 

to none in my admiration 

and respect for firefighters. 

However, I have 

concerns about the upcoming 

Village of Glenview 

elections. 

One candidate for trustee 

is an active firefighter 

for the Village. By all accounts, 

he is a fine person 

and I am grateful for his 

service to our community, 

but I question his ability to 

perform the duties of the 

job he seeks because of the 

conflicts of interest he will 

face. Although the state 

legislature carved out a 

special exception to the law 

allowing firefighters but no 

other municipal employees 

to run for elected office in 

the towns in which they 

serve, those candidates face 

serious problems fulfilling 

the duties of the offices 

they seek. 

When trustees vote on financial 

issues, they are dealing 

with finite resources. If 

those dollars are spent in 

one area, they’re not available 

for another use. Therefore, 

any votes involving 

general funds necessarily 

impact what will be available 

for other things, such 

as employee compensation. 

While an active employee 

could recuse himself from 

such votes, I prefer to have 

trustees who can legally and 

ethically vote on the vast 

majority of issues facing 

the Village Board. For that 

reason, I support Hinkamp, 

Karton and Khoja as Glenview 

trustees. 

Jill Brickman 

Northfield Township 

Supervisor 

Trustees fail to uphold 

Comprehensive Plan 

In the new Glenview 

Comprehensive Plan, there 

are four components intended 

to address the current 

deficit of 410 affordable 

residences necessary 

for the Village to comply 

with AHPAA, the state law 

intended to promote affordable 

housing. The first 

component is assessment. 

They determined Glenview 

is not in compliance. 

The second component is 

identifying areas appropriate 

for affordable housing. 

Multifamily developments 

near transportation, groceries 

and pedestrian friendly 

were designated. The third 

component was incentives. 

Among these were zoning 

bonuses, direct Village 

involvement, property tax 

abatement, financing assistance, 

outright grants, reduced 

fees and cooperation 

with affordable housing developers 

requesting private/ 

public funding. The fourth 

section was the goal. Increasing 

affordable housing 

to the requisite 10-percent 

level was the only goal. 

Currently, the Village 

has two properties that 

it is marketing itself which 

clearly meet the multifamily, 

close to transportation, 

groceries, pedestrian friendly 

and other characteristics. 

Are any of the 26 residences 

approved for the former 

city hall site affordable? Is 

the Village demonstrating 

its will to meet the goal of 

10-percent affordability by 

extending the incentives 

outlined in section three? 

Instead, trustees are waiting 

for a developer to “ask” 

for these incentives. If they 

don’t ask, they are not in-

More ways to interact with the newspaper 

CHRIS PULLAM 

chris@glenviewlantern.com 

Welcome to The 

Glenview Lantern’s 

third, and 

final, edition of “Ways To 

Interact With The Newspaper.” 

Two weeks ago in this 

space, I asked for Pet of 

the Week submissions. 

Now I have more than 

30 submissions sitting in 

my email, and I’m set for 

nearly eight months. 

Last week, I encouraged 

readers to vote for Glenbrook 

South and Loyola 

Academy students during 

our Athlete of the Month 

contests, which pits every 

Athlete of the Week from 

all seven of our North 

Shore publications against 

each other, and I’m expecting 

big things come 

April. 

So, what’s our topic this 

week? 

Letters to the Editor. 

You’ll find three entries 

(the most in my year as 

editor!) across this twopage 

spread. 

Basically, this space is 

reserved for residents who 

want to discuss hot topics 

with their neighbors using 

our weekly medium. 

Since The Lantern is, in 

fact, a newspaper, I will 

fact-check statistics. But I 

will not censor opinions. 

In order to submit a 

Letter to the Editor, you 

must reside in Glenview, 

provide your first and last 

name, keep your content 

to fewer than 400 words, 

and send to Chris@GlenviewLantern.com. 

Let’s get the conversations 

started!

sisting. This points to a lack 

of commitment to the ultimate 

goal. 

Instead of publishing 

“feel good” outlines for 

affordable housing, the 

Village needs to model behaviors 

that can be replicated 

by private and public 

entities. The Park Place 

development sits directly 

behind the fire station and 

yet many firemen cannot 

afford a house in Glenview. 

Wouldn’t it be great if two 

or three of those 26 units 

were actually affordable? 

The Bess Hardware location 

is the other ‘appropriate 

for affordable housing’ 

property recently purchased 

by the Village and being 

marketed by the Village. 

The Village should work 

with any potential developers 

to incorporate 10 percent 

of those units for affordable 

housing extending the incentives 

they have outlined 

in the comprehensive plan. 

If it does not, it will be a 

clear flag that they are not 

serious about making Glenview 

a diverse and welcoming 

community. 

Margaret Sents 

Glenview Resident 

Resident oppose boating on 

Lake Glenview 

Boating might look like 

a good idea, however, the 

plan is unsafe and poses 

considerable risk to people, 

habitat and wildlife. No 

on-site rescue boat. No one 

supervising activities or 

checking permits (except 

occasionally). No one to 

enforce the rules. The water 

is not safe for swimming or 

wading. 

The Glenview Park 

Board could not answer: 

How many boats is too 

many? What would prevent 

large groups or classes? 

How to keep people off the 

islands? How to prevent 

people from getting in and 

out at other locations? How 

to prevent people bringing 

alcohol? How to monitor if 

people where catching fish 

and not releasing them? 

How to prevent people from 

harming wildlife? How to 

know if people even had 

permits? How to keep boaters 

safe from hazards? How 

to ensure the safety of wildlife 

and habitat? 

There will be conscientious 

boaters and there will 

also be those that do not 

respect the rules and will 

cause damage, it is naive to 

think otherwise. The plan 

now is to get a permit for 

each boat, not boater. How 

can you be sure that everyone 

has read and understood 

the rules if only the boats 

need permits? 

This is a small lake and 

that puts extra stress on migrating 

birds as they have 

nowhere to hide or get away 

from people. Some have 

flown thousands of miles 

and could have hundreds 

more to go. They would be 

flushed repeatedly and ultimately 

tire, perhaps leading 

to death. 

One day at Lake Glenview 

I saw a boy kicking 

out the decorative panels on 

the bridge. He didn’t stop 

until I said something and 

called the police, by then, 

however, the damage was 

done. While we hope people 

follow the rules, every day I 

see people who don’t think 

the rules apply to them. 

I’m an 18-year resident 

of Glenview and naturalist 

photographer. I have been 

documenting the wildlife at 

Lake Glenview since it was 

built. I have seen Lake Glenview 

evolve into a beautiful 

natural area that is enjoyed 

by people and wildlife alike. 

I served four years on the 

Natural Resource Committee 

of Glenview. For the last 

30 years I’ve worked with 

The Nature Conservancy, 

Lake Forest Open Lands, 

The Chicago Botanic Garden, 

Chicago Wilderness 

and many other nature organizations. 

I have experience 

with nature and wildlife and 

am not making these recommendations 

lightly. 

Respectfully, 

Carol Freeman

Special needs students take 

pride in theater performance 

Sarah Haider 

Assistant Editor 

Pride is the word that 

sums up Special Gifts Theatre’s 

production of “The 

Lion King Jr.” 

The show, which hit the 

stage on March 4, 5, 11 

and 12 at Skokie School in 

Winnetka, is one of the theater’s 

eight programs catered 

toward special needs 

students. Each show is designed 

to help the students 

find pride in their unique 

abilities instead of being 

separated by their differences. 

“A group of lions is 

called a pride, so that’s 

kind of the theme of our 

season,” said Jenni Von Tobel, 

program director and 

a Northbrook native. “The 

students are learning what 

it means to be a part of a 

pride, especially because in 

theater that is exactly what 

they are. We are a family 

and we talk about how 

families can look different 

and how it looks different 

for us here on stage.” 

The nonprofit serves as 

both a theater company and 

a special needs organization. 

More than 250 children 

with a range of more 

than 50 diagnoses take part 

in its performances every 

year. Each student is paired 

with a student-mentor of a 

similar age who underwent 

three weeks of training on 

how to help with a large 

range of special needs. 

During performances, the 

mentors take the stage with 

their students, often helping 

with forgotten lines and 

stage fright. 

The program also employs 

30 part-time staff

members and hundreds of 

volunteers who are certified 

as physical, occupational, 

movement and 

speech therapists, as well 

as special education teachers. 

The ensemble works 

together to create individualized 

scripts and dances 

that challenge the special 

needs students to overcome 

individual hurdles in their 

diagnosis. 

“It’s very unique in what 

it does,” Von Tobel said. 

“There are other theaters 

for special needs, but none 

with a therapeutic and educational 

foundation where 

the kids are not only performing 

but also learning 

and developing these skills 

that are made to transfer 

over into their lives.” 

The cast of “The Lion 

King Jr.” featuring students 

from all over the North 

Shore began preparing for 

the show in September. 

The first three months were 

spent learning about the 

concepts and storyline so 

the students could better 

understand their characters. 

The special needs students 

weren’t the only 

ones who benefited from 

the production. Glencoe 

resident London McBride 

served as a mentor, gaining 

a new friend in Glenview 

resident Sam Biancos, who 

played Nola’s brother. Mc- 

Bride joined the program to 

combine her love for theater 

and her love for volunteering. 

“I wasn’t expecting to 

become so close with everyone,” 

McBride said. 

“You get to makes friends 

with everyone. I love how 

you get to act and the performance 

is so exciting. I 

get to combine two thing 

I really love. I love helping 

people and it’s a really 

unique experience.” 

Mentor Sophie Lieberman 

and actor Jared Peterson, 

both seniors at New 

Trier, have been close 

friends since meeting in 

the program four years ago. 

Peterson, who previously 

starred as Aladdin and appeared 

in both “Peter Pan’ 

and “Shrek,” filled the role 

of bad-guy Mufasa in “The 

Lion King Jr.” 

“What starts out as group 

of students and peer mentors 

becomes an ensemble 

of friends,” Von Tobel said. 

“There is no other place 

where some of these kids 

are put on stage, the audience 

is filled with people, 

the spotlight is shining on 

them to celebrate them because 

of their unique abilities, 

not because they are 

different but because they 

are amazing and have these 

great abilities.”

Memoriam 

From Page 18 

close. He was a very solid family guy. 

He was always volunteering for all of 

the kids’ activities whether it was rowing 

or Wilmette baseball.” 

Crowley echoed these sentiments. 

“They’re a very tight-knit family. 

Laura and Danny were such a great 

couple together,” Crowley said. “They 

just love those boys so much. Laura is 

such a warm and loving person.” 

A celebration of Collyer’s life was 

held on Feb. 16 at St. Joseph Catholic 

Church in Wilmette. Several people 

that called The Lantern to talk about 

the service described it as one of the 

largest gatherings they had ever seen. 

Pallbearers were Crowley, Fox, Bill 

Hielscher, Dan McNulty, Tim O’Gara 

and Michael Reagan. Both Crowley 

and Fox gave remembrances during 

the service. Fittingly, the ceremony 

ended with a postlude song of “Danny 

Boy” played on bagpipes. 

“Everybody there was a friend. Dan 

was just somebody who was really 

outgoing and fun,” Fox said. “He made 

friends quickly and often. He was a 

real friend.” 

Collyer was also the caring son-inlaw 

of George (Susan) Cross and the 

late Wendy Cross; fond brother-in-law 

of Marcie (Marc) Sandalow, Andrew 

Cross, and Sarah (Bill) Shideler; and 

the cherished uncle, cousin and friend 

to many. 

In lieu of flowers, donations can 

be made to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, 

150 North Michigan Avenue 

#1550, Chicago, IL 60601 or Collyer 

College Fund, www.gofundme.com/ 

collyercollegefund. According to Fox, 

the reason for donations going to the 

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is that Collyer 

has a niece and nephew with the 

disease and he had been a longtime 

fundraiser for the Chicago chapter. 

Collyer was also a fundraiser for other 

area organizations.

Closed Sundays 

Ambreen Bokhary’s 

mother had a mantra she 

told her daughter growing 

up: When you’re eating, 

don’t talk. Listen to your 

food. 

Ambreen, one of nine 

children, followed her 

mother’s advice. It made 

for quieter meals — perhaps 

what her mother 

wanted — but more importantly, 

it gave her the 

unique ability to identify 

the ingredients in each 

dish without knowing the 

recipe. 

Watching her parents 

in the kitchen, Ambreen 

picked up cooking knowledge 

quickly. She was never 

formally educated in the 

art of cuisine, but judging 

by the initial success of her 

and her husband Arifeen 

Bokhary’s new Pakistani 

takeout restaurant, that 

doesn’t matter to customers. 

The Bokharys opened 

their business, Thali Bites, 

in mid-January. Nestled 

between a cigar shop and 

nail salon on Skokie Boulevard, 

this Wilmette establishment 

is a hidden 

gem. 

The menu is a mishmash 

of Pakistani dishes from 

northern Pakistan, where 

Arifeen is from, and southern 

Pakistan, where Ambreen 

once called home. 

Unlike their previous 

restaurant experience, here 

the Bokharys don’t premake 

anything. The entirety 

of the menu is made 

from scratch each day with 

fresh ingredients. 

As such, it’ll take 15-20 

minutes to complete one to 

two dishes. Larger orders 

will take longer, but trust 

us — the wait is worth it. 

Our staff sampled an 

assortment of offerings, 

starting with the veggie 

samosa. In this appetizer, 

peas, potatoes and spices 

are combined in a fried 

dough shell for a warm 

dish that ought to tide you 

over until the main course. 

If you prefer meat in 

your appetizer, the jumbo 

chicken egg roll may be 

more your style. 

In terms of main courses, 

the nihari (slow-cooked 

beef stew with bone marrow 

and spices) is a crowdpleaser. 

Nihari comes from 

an Arabic word for “morning,” 

and this dish was 

originally eaten only in 

the morning. Trends have 

changed, and now people 

eat nihari all the time, Ambreen 

says. 

It’s not hard to see why 

— the meat is tender and 

savory, and the curry thick 

and delectable. 

We next tried the butter 

chicken curry, a mildly 

spicy entree that’s best eaten 

with rice or naan bread. 

It’s got a slow heat that 

doesn’t overwhelm your 

taste buds and pairs well 

with the veggie biryani, a 

vegetable-based rice dish 

native to South Asia.

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Malia Burden 

The Loyola poms squad member helped 

LA qualify for the national tournament. 

Do you have any superstitions 

before a competition? 

It’s more of a team one but before we go 

out to perform, the captains go around and 

pump everyone up. This year our motto 

was “five, six, seven, eight, 14 strong all 

day long” so we’d always say that. 

Is there something that people 

don’t know about you? 

I really like both math and science.

What’s the best coaching advice 

you’ve ever received? 

To be confident. I’d always be nervous 

before dance, so our choreographer 

told me to be confident and not worry 

as much. It worked and I’ve lost those 

nerves before dance now. 

If you could travel to one place, 

where would it be? 

Paris. I’ve been studying French for all 

four years at Loyola, so it’s something 

that really interests me. I’d love to experience 

the culture. 

If you could have dinner with three 

people, who would they be and 

why? 

They would be all ancestors. I’d love 

to have dinner with my great-grandparents 

because it would be fascinating to 

learn about my family and our history. 

What’s been your favorite moment 

at Loyola? 

I have two, one poms-related and one 

not. For the poms-related moment, it’s a 

pep rally where the seniors choreograph 

a dance that’s performed in front of the 

entire school. It’s really awesome to be 

able to show your hard work off to the 

school. My other favorite moment is going 

on Kairos this year because it helps 

PHOTO SUBMITTED 

people learn to find yourself and the 

people around you. 

What’s the best part about being a 

Loyola Ramblerette? 

My teammates. We spend the entire 

year together, whether it be at practice, in 

school or competitions. They’ve become 

my best friends and we are all like sisters 

to each other. 

If you were to go to a deserted 

island, what are you bringing? 

My mom to keep me company and my 

phone so I can communicate with my 

friends and family and keep in contact. 

What’s your favorite place to eat 

on the north shore? 

Yardhouse in The Glen. It was one of 

the first my family went when we moved 

to Golf from the city and I’ve loved it 

since then. 

Favorite athlete? 

Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant. My 

family and I love the Cubs.

Coach Talk 

Making the Irish green with envy 

Jon ‘Coach’ Cohn 

Contributing Columnist 


We have entered 

full-scale St. 

Patrick’s Day 

celebration mode here in 

Glenview. 

“The luck of the Irish” 

talk is making everybody 

“green with envy” while 

we celebrate the good 

times with family, friends 

and our favorite beer mug 

(not necessarily in that 

order, by the way). 

But with all due respect 

to our good friends from 

the land of green rolling 

hills, great music and 

better beer, we here in 

Glenview have plenty to 

be thankful and envious 

for, as well. 

So let’s take look at 

some things that might 

make people that don’t 

live here just a little bit 

green with envy. 

To start, how about our 

state-of-the-art Park Center 

recreational facility? 

More than 20 years old 

and still going strong, the 

facility has swimming 

pools, fitness areas, basketball 

courts and enough 

meeting rooms to host a 

convention on meeting 

rooms. Twenty years ago, 

the Park Center was just 

a concept on a drawing 

board as part of the new 

Glen building project. 

Now, years later, it has 

become a major success 

and great boon to the 

community. 

How about our Glenview 

swim program? 

Talk about making other 

communities envious. 

From the great Learn to 

Swim program to the 

Glenview Titan Athletic 

Club to Glenbrook South’s 

top-notch swim team, this 

network of programs consistently 

produces some of 

the best teams in the state. 

Shining lights like recent 

Olympian Olivia Smoliga 

and current senior Sam 

Iida, who swam the fastest 

200-yard freestyle in the 

storied history of the state 

of Illinois, are but two 

examples of Glenview’s 

swimming prowess. 

Golfers? 

Glenview’s got you 

covered here, as well. A 

championship-level golf 

course at The Glen, combined 

with a brand spanking 

new, if not completely 

revitalized, 18-hole Park 

District course, make us 

the envy of many surrounding 

towns and the 

golfers that live there. 

Our skaters and hockey 

enthusiasts take a back 

seat to no one. 

While the need for more 

rink space is clear, if you 

talk quality not quantity, 

Glenview is right there 

near the top. From awardwinning 

figure skating 

programs to house league 

hockey to the Glenview 

Stars travel teams, our 

Landwehr Avenue-based 

ice rink is busy and active. 

Finally, and this is just 

a sampling, you have got 

sport and recreational offerings 

here that truly span 

the sports globe. 

Pickleball, lacrosse, 

judo, karate, tennis, dance, 

yoga, basketball, baseball, 

soccer, flag football and 

volleyball — just to name 

more than a few. 

In fact, the only thing 

we’re missing is bowling. 

Anyone for a bowling 

alley in downtown 

Glenview? 

So remember as we 

responsibly celebrate St. 

Patrick’s Day that the Irish 

are known for their good 

luck and good fortunate, 

but we here in Glenview 

can stand pretty proud, as 

well. 

In fact, we could even 

play around a bit and turn 

an old Irish proverb into 

one of our very own. 

“There are only two 

kinds of people in the 

world, those from Glenview 

and those who wish 

they were.” 

Happy St. Patty’s Day, 

everybody! 

Cohn has a new book published 

called “Stuff People 

Might Want To Know,” available

local bookstores. He can be

Baseball 

Stanicek seeks redemption in new season 

Sarah Haider 


Coach Steve Stanicek 

isn’t satisfied with how 

Glenbrook South ended the 

2016 season. 

Although the Titans finished 

third in the Central 

Suburban League with a 

12-17 record, they lost in 

the regional semifinal, 5-3, 

to Stevenson. 

“We have to be better 

finishers,” Stanicek said. 

“Last year, we had 17 losses 

and we lost nine games 

by one run. A lot of that 

was at the end of games, 

whether it was pitching one 

day, bad defense the next or 

[the inability] to come up 

with a big hit the following 

day.” 

Throughout winter conditioning 

and indoor practices, 

the Titans have kept 

last year’s shortcomings at 

the forefront of their minds. 

Stanicek and his players 

are focusing on keeping a 

positive attitude while constantly 

pushing themselves 

for improvement, whether 

they’re swinging for the 

metaphorical fences in the 

batting cages or taking 

another rep in the weight 

room. 

The coach hopes that 

this endurance training will 

propel the team toward its 

biggest goal of the season 

— 21 outs. 

“The general philosophy 

we are spending a lot of 

time on is getting 21 outs 

as fast as we can,” Stanicek 

said. “That was probably 

our biggest issue last year. 

We would have leads, then 

we might make an error, 

which was followed by a 

walk and one base hit, and 

then it’s two runs. That 

was our Achilles’ heel last 

year.” 

Senior catcher Jeff 

Mitchell, who saw action 

as a designated hitter and 

catcher on varsity last year, 

is one of 10 seniors who 

will fill leadership roles on 

a young and relatively inexperienced 

roster. 

Stanicek hopes his players 

will continue to nurture 

the determination and leadership 

that has been present 

early in the season. 

“We might go through a 

few growing pains at the 

beginning of the season, but 

I think it’s going to help us 

in the long run,” Stanicek 

said. “Our younger kids are 

very talented. It’s just getting 

them used to the pace 

of varsity play, [but] I think 

that will come with time.” 

Mitchell, as well as pitchers 

Brett Borre, Cam Pauly 

and outfielder Jacob Smiley, 

will team up with a group of 

newcomers who are already 

acclimating to the pace of 

varsity baseball, according 

to Stanicek. The rising newcomers 

include infielder/ 

pitcher Jacob Newman, infielder 

Mike Snow and outfielder 

Connor Nash. 

“I’m hoping that due to 

our youth we are able to 

play [on] that ... and hopefully 

really make kids excited 

for the season,” Mitchell 

said. “I wouldn’t say it put 

uncertainty into everyone, 

but because of the fact no 

one really knows what is 

set in stone for each player, 

hopefully everyone will 

be trying to fight for each 

position, which will cause 

a lot of competition in our 

practices and make us better.” 

According to Stanicek, 

New Trier and Evanston 

will be the teams to beat in 

the CSL South. 

But Mitchell believes the 

Titans posses the right personnel 

for the job. 

“I would say the strength 

we have this year is definitely 

depth,” he said. “We 

have a lot of great players 

that can really fill in wherever 

we need them to, so 

that’s pretty helpful. We 

have a lot of good arms 

pitching-wise, but with 

baseball [it’s] definitely 

about putting the [pieces] 

together.” 

Baseball 

Experienced Ramblers look to make noise 

Fouad Egbaria 


Loyola Academy baseball 

coach Nick Bridich, 

entering his fifth year leading 

the Ramblers, feels 

pretty good about the team 

he has coming back this 

season. 

“This is probably the 

most experienced club 

we’ve had from a positionplayer 

standpoint,” he 

said. 

The Ramblers, whose 

2016 season ended in a 

7-2 regional final loss 

against Elk Grove Village, 

lost several standouts, including 

outfielder Liam 

McKeough, third baseman 

Thomas Smart, second 

baseman Jack Lombardi, 

and pitchers Kevin Knapp, 

David Blankenship and 

Thomas Giella. 

Loyola has to find replacements 

for those class 

of 2016 arms, but, in the 

field, they’re loaded with 

experience. 

At first base, junior Jason 

Vrbancic will “without 

a doubt” hit in the middle 

of the order for the Ramblers. 

“He’s a talented offensive 

player and is definitely 

a player that will 

get time at the next level,” 

Bridich said. “He is just 

starting his varsity career 

here but he is one of the 

more advanced offensive 

players that I’ve coached.” 

At second base, senior 

Danny O’Brien, whom 

Bridich praised for his 

defensive skills, will step 

into a full-time role this 

year. Pairing with O’Brien 

in the middle infield is 

shortstop Ryan Lin-Peistrup, 

a University of Illinois-Chicago 

commit. In 

2016, Lin-Peistrup batted 

.298 and tallied a teamhigh 

31 RBI. 

“He’s a physical player, 

he can run, he can hit, he 

can throw,” Bridich said. 

“He is without a doubt one 

of the premier shortstops 

in the area.” 

Senior Jack Blindt, a 

University of St. Thomas 

commit, rounds out the 

infield at third base. At 

catcher, senior captain Brian 

Vance, a Saint Joseph’s 

University commit, returns 

behind the plate 

“Brian is as good a defensive 

catcher as you’re 

going to find, maybe in the 

state of Illinois,” Bridich 

said. 

In the outfield, captain 

and three-year starter Sean 

Tully, a DePauw University 

commit, will man center 

field. He’ll be joined in 

the outfield by Drew Bartholow, 

an Emory University 

commit. Last season, 

Bartholow really raked, 

hitting .347 with 30 RBI. 

Rounding out the outfield 

will be a mix of juniors, including 

Will Jackson, Trey 

Torein and Henry Haracz. 

On the mound, however, 

is where the Ramblers will 

need to find some answers, 

particularly with the losses 

of Knapp, Blankenship 

and Giella. 

While new guys will 

be taking up most of the 

innings this season, they 

won’t be “new faces,” 

Bridich said. 

“I really like our pitching 

staff,” he said. “Even 

though there’s some ‘inexperience’ 

there with 

throwing varsity innings, 

I think this is a really mature 

group and [they’re] 

guys who have worked 

tremendously hard and are 

ready.” 

Senior right-hander 

Rich Campbell will feature 

heavily after having 

injury issues as a junior. 

Senior right-hander John 

O’Flaherty and left-hander 

Chris Toomey — whom 

Bridich called “unconventional” 

in his motion 

— will also be in the mix 

for the Ramblers. Jackson, 

a junior who will also play 

the outfield, also figures to 

get the ball on the mound. 

Similarly, fellow junior 

Haracz will pitch. 

“[Haracz] is a strikethrower 

and a quality 

strike-thrower and will just 

kind of come at you and 

challenge you,” Bridich 

said. 

Right-hander Chris 

Heywood, who is also in 

the infield mix, will get innings, 

as will left-hander 

P.J. McKermitt. 

In relief, junior righthander 

Ben Wagner and 

right-hander Nolan Graf 

will spell the starters in 

late innings. 

As a fifth-year coach, 

Bridich said he and his 

team are focused on getting 

better each day. 

“We don’t really focus 

on the wins and losses, we 

try to take that out of it,” 

he said. “Our job is to be 

in the moment and find a 

way to improve every day. 

... We truly try to keep it 

right there.” 

Loyola opens its season 

against St. Patrick on Saturday, 

March 18, at Munz 

Campus in Glenview.



Girls Track and Field 

New coach hopes fresh start brings strong season 

Sarah Haider 


Glenbrook South started 

its new season with a new 

coach. 

Meaghan Fastert has 

used her transition from 

assistant to head coach as 

a fresh start for the team, 

a concept that anchors her 

coaching philosophy. 

“Start fresh every year 

and see what you can do,” 

Fastert said. “Grow from 

those times and those distances 

versus constantly 

thinking about what you did 

or if you are doing better this 

year. It’s always important 

to start fresh and start with 

a clear head. I feel like you 

see more success [this way]. 

It’s kind of like a different 

journey every season.” 

So far, her philosophy 

seems to be working. The 

95-girl team enjoyed a 

strong start last month, 

culminating in a first-place 

finish at the John Davis Relays 

on Feb. 24, and many 

of the girls have already 

broken their individual personal 

records. 

The team features an 

abundance of freshmen 

and sophomore runners, 

as well as a number of returning 

veterans. Although 

standout Rose O’Grady 

graduated in May, seniors 

Emily Noone, who earned 

All-State status in the 

800-meter run; Kate Snively; 

and Megan Kennedy are 

among the seniors who will 

step into the team’s leadership 

roles. 

Fastert expects her leaders 

to enforce high expectations 

and strict rules of 

attendance and accountability. 

These rules are designed 

to improve performances 

and build character. 

But Fastert also hopes they 

foster a tight-knit and united 

team. 

“Track is such an individualized 

sport, or at 

least it can be,” she said. 

“Everyone has their different 

event and they tend 

to only hang out with that 

group, so I’m really trying 

to push [the theme] of being 

together and getting to 

know someone outside of 

your own event and delve 

into what team means.” 

Also serving as the GBS 

girls cross-country coach, 

Fastert focuses on developing 

strong support systems 

to address the mental 

aspects of running. The 

team builds these systems 

with pasta parties that feed 

the large team in preparation 

for the upcoming GBS 

Quad meets. Fastert sees 

the meets as trials for the 

conference meet, which 

takes place on Thursday, 

March 16. 

Kennedy, who is currently 

focusing on her daily 

progression after recovering 

from a concussion, 

took part in her first meet 

of the season, the Glenbrook 

North Quad, on Feb. 

28. She competes in the 

800-meter run, pole vault 

and several long-distance 

events. 

“One of the biggest 

things for a successful season 

is injury prevention,” 

Kennedy said. “We [need 

to] keep our injuries down 

and make sure everyone is 

stretching and not pulling 

anything. We have had lots 

of stress fractures in the 

past. If we can keep injury 

prevention down, we can 

run better and compete better 

as a team.” 

As a cross-country runner, 

Kennedy understands 

the benefits of applying 

Fastert’s coaching techniques 

to the track team. 

“It is an adjustment, but 

a great adjustment,” Kennedy 

said. “I feel like she 

brings a new perspective 

on running with her being 

a younger coach. The way 

she runs things is a little 

different. ... She has different 

workout plans for us 

and I personally think it is 

really nice.” 

Many of the distance 

runners, like Kennedy, are 

cross-over athletes from 

the cross-country team. 

Although Fastert is proud 

of the team’s early success, 

she hasn’t lost sight of her 

No. 1 priority. 

“It’s important to not just 

focus on winning, but feeling 

like you accomplished 

something,” Fastert said. 

“Even if [we finish] first 

or last, it’s more about the 

girls and where they are 

coming from and how they 

feel after the season. I think 

one of my goals is [making 

sure they] still love running 

[and they] still love 

what they are doing. If they 

can say yes, then that’s the 

greatest accomplishment 

for me.” 

Girls Soccer 

Titans aim to improve upon dominant 2016 campaign 

Chris Pullam, Editor 

Glenbrook South took 

the North Shore, and head 

coach Seong Ha, by surprise 

in 2016. 

The senior-heavy squad 

scored 92 goals and surrendered 

only 13 en route 

to a 20-3-2 finish, losing 

to the eventual state champion, 

New Trier, 1-0 in the 

sectional semifinal. 

“[That] one game doesn’t 

explain everything we went 

through last year,” Seong 

said. “We didn’t expect a 

20-win season. It came out 

of nowhere. For me as a 

coach, it just gives me more 

perspective on what we did 

and how amazing that was, 

to compete with the state 

champion like we did, and 

to win the regional against a 

team like Maine South.” 

Led by Olivia Peters, 

now a freshman at Walsh 

University, as well as thenseniors 

Anne Brennan and 

Cameron Beach, the Titans 

forced the Trevians into 

double overtime before 

giving up the match’s lone 

goal. But in 2017, with a 

relatively young and inexperienced 

roster, South 

won’t dwell on past accolades. 

“I don’t think they even 

talk about it anymore,” 

Seong said. “We don’t 

even use it as a motivational 

tool because they 

don’t need to do what they 

did last year. They need to 

do whatever makes this 

year special. They need to 

put their fingerprints and 

stamp on this year with 

their leadership. 

“We won’t have a spectacular 

season right off the 

bat. We are young and we 

will make a lot of mistakes 

early, but we will overcome 

those obstacles, do 

things the right way and 

have fun. We’ll see where 

that takes us.” 

In 2017, the Titans will 

return senior Lily Sands, 

a four-year starter and 

South’s eighth all-time 

scoring leader; Cassidy 

Price, an All-Conference 

defender; Callie Pekosh, an 

All-Conference midfielder; 

and goalkeeper Maude Tarbox. 

Eight sophomores, 

seven juniors and five seniors 

round out the roster. 

“They know how to get 

things done, and that makes 

things a lot easier for me,” 

Seong said. “My returning 

starters are really good, but 

there will be a lot of opportunities 

for the younger 

girls to prove themselves. 

That’s exciting for me to 

see. And our veterans who 

do come back, they’re 

waiting to go out and prove 

they can win their own 

way.” 

According to Tarbox, 

the roster turnover will 

especially affect South’s 

back line, which will return 

only one player. 

“That’s pretty scary as 

a goalkeeper,” she said. 

“But I’m looking forward 

to watching their growth 

from March until May and 

seeing how good they will 

become. As a team, everyone 

is good in their own 

way. Coach Ha will mix 

us together and find a good 

formula.” 

Sands believes the Titans 

will benefit from their 

“lack of history” because 

“other teams won’t know 

what we’re all about.” 

The pair remained active 

during the winter 

months — Tarbox played 

basketball while Sands 

participated in offseason 

workouts — and both have 

high expectations for their 

senior season. 

“We will play some big 

teams, like New Trier and 

Evanston and Loyola,” 

Tarbox said. “If we train 

well, prepare well and focus, 

we have a good chance 

of holding our own. We fell 

short a couple times last 

year, but I’m looking forward 

to challenging them 

again and hopefully winning 

this year.” 

“Winning the regional 

would be great,” Sands 

added. “We just want to go 

farther than last year.” 

“I give a lot of credit to 

the girls on preparing and 

training over the summer,” 

Seong said. “I take no credit 

in the amazing things we 

have done in the last decade, 

putting GBS on the map in 

the girls soccer scene. ... 

As long as these girls keep 

doing what they’re doing, 

we’ll continue to add to it. 

You can really see the passion 

for the game, the excitement, 

in these girls.”



Boys basketball 

Evanston dominates Loyola 

in sectional semifinal match 

Neil Milbert 


When the Loyola Academy 

Ramblers went to the 

dressing room at halftime 

of their Class 4A Waukegan 

Sectional semifinal 

game against top-seeded 

Evanston, they were in 

a position to pull off one 

of the biggest upsets of 

the season in Illinois high 

school basketball. 

With senior power forward 

Julian DeGuzman 

showing the way, they 

held a one-point lead at 

the end of the first quarter 

and trailed by only one 

point at the half thanks 

to senior Matt Lynch’s 

3-point shot at the buzzer. 

But in the second half 

Loyola’s hopes of a colossal 

upset were gone with 

the wind that was gusting 

up to 50 miles-per-hour 

outside Waukegan’s venerable 

gymnasium on the 

night of March 7. 

Evanston buffeted the 

Ramblers by scoring 12 

unanswered points to start 

the second half and went 

on to win in a 71-45 blowout. 

The impressive victory 

improved the Wildkits’ 

record to 27-3. Two of 

the defeats came in outof-state 

encounters. Their 

only in-state loss was by 

two points in overtime 

against Naperville North 

on Jan. 21. 

“They’re very, very 

good and very wellcoached,” 

said Loyola 

coach Tom Livatino, 

whose team ended the 

season with a 22-9 ledger 

after getting off to a 5-5 

start. “In the second half 

we missed a couple layups 

and had a couple of shots 

blocked, and we let their 

guys get loose. They have 

a bunch of weapons and 

every weapon went off. 

“They’re the best defensive 

team we’ve seen in a 

couple of years—they’re 

just smothering. In the 

first half we were able to 

exploit that (with cuts to 

the basket). We were unable 

to do that in the second 

half. When you get 

down against a team that’s 

so quick and skilled and 

athletic you can’t extend 

and play them. But they 

forced our hand and the 

game got away.” 

In the second half 

Loyola had only two field 

goals—a layup by senior 

Ramar Evans in the third 

quarter and a three-point 

shot by senior substitute 

Kai Khasu in the fourth 

quarter. 

Evanston guard Malcolm 

Townsel succeed 

in shutting down Evans, 

holding the Ramblers’ 

best player to five points. 

“He always stayed in 

my face,” Evans said. “He 

never gave me any space.” 

The three-year starter, 

who will be playing for 

Maryville University in 

St. Louis next season, 

ended his career sixth on 

Loyola’s list of all-time 

leading scorers and the 

last two seasons led the 

team in scoring, rebounding 

and assists “and everything 

else,” according 

to Livatino. 

“He battled through an 

injury (a contusion between 

the hip and pelvis) 

to lead us in the regional 

(championship game) and 

the sectional,” Livatino 

added. “He has been a 

fantastic player for us.” 

Livatino and Evans 

lauded DeGuzman, who 

in tallying a team-high 

19 points scored 10 of 

the Ramblers’ 15 points 

in the first quarter and six 

of their 13 in the second 

quarter. 

“He played his best 

game in his last game,” 

the Loyola coach said. 

“That’s a great thing to be 

able to do. I’m very proud 

of Julian, seeing where 

he came from and where 

he is now. His level of 

toughness has improved 

dramatically throughout 

his career. He’s going to 

play in college and he has 

a chance to be a very good 

player.” 

“Julian was fired up,” 

Evans said. “I don’t think 

they expected him to run 

the court as much as he 

did.” 

Not only was DeGuzman 

effective in cuts and 

drives to the basket, he 

also scored on a breakaway 

layup, a putback and 

an outside shot. 

“I was running the court 

and getting open and my 

teammates were getting 

me the ball,” he said. “In 

the first half we did a great 

job. It hurts that we didn’t 

win. Now, I’ll step back 

and look at my options 

and see where I can play 

in college.”

The Glenbrook girls 

looked like they were in 

a big hurry to get to the 

finals of the Illinois State 

High School Hockey 

Championships. 

By the start of the third 

period of their semifinal 

game with Fenwick on 

March 6 at The Edge Ice 

Arena in Bensenville, they 

had activated the running 

clock. Fifteen minutes later, 

they skated off the ice 

with a 7-0 victory. 

“I’m really proud of these 

girls,” Glenbrook coach 

Steve Hamelin said. “Our 

goal was to make the upper 

division (after winning the 

lower level Founder’s Cup 

title last season). This is an 

opportunity for them, their 

schools and their community.” 

The nucleus of the team 

— which will take a 21-1- 

2 record to the state final 

game against defending 

champion Loyola Academy 

— comes from Glenbrook 

South. 

Players from Glenbrook 

North include Nicole 

Knudson, Jojo Chobak, 

Chloe Carroll, Eleni Tasiopoulos, 

Sophie Sperber 

and Koby Wilcox. 

One player, All-State 

forward Hannah Jensen, is 

a junior at Regina Dominican. 

Jensen and five other All- 

State players — forwards 

Caitlin Schneider, Katerina 

Poulos and Knudson; defenseman 

Allie Karakosta; 

and goaltender Chobak — 

were the major contributors 

to the compelling semifinal 

conquest. 

All-State forward Hannah Jensen throws her hands in 

the air during Glenbrook’s 7-0 win over Fenwick in the 

state semifinals on March 6 at The Edge Ice Arena in 

Bensenville. Carlos Alvarez/22nd Century Media 

Schneider scored three 

goals. Jensen contributed 

two goals and an assist. 

Knudson added a goal 

and two assists, Karakosta 

scored a goal and 

Poulos assisted on two 

goals. 

At the other end of the 

ice Chobak stopped 22 

shots, several of which 

were difficult saves. 

“In the past we’ve had 

some close games with 

them so I had no idea what 

to expect,” Chobak said. 

“It was important for us to 

get that big early lead.” 

Chobak had reason to be 

concerned. In a game on 

Feb. 25, Glenbrook had to 

go all-out to secure a 3-2 

victory against Fenwick 

(11-8-5). 

But this time, goals by 

Knudson, Karakosta and 

Schneider put the state’s 

top-ranked team on top, 

3-0. By the end of the second 

period, Glenbrook’s 

lead had increased to 6-0, 

activating the running 

clock. 

“Playing for the state 

championship is a really 

big deal,” Schneider said. 

“This is my first year playing 

high school hockey. 

Allie, who is the other senior 

on our team, told me 

(before the season) ‘You 

have to play, you have to 

play.’ 

“I said ‘OK, I’ll do it’ 

and now I’m really glad I 

did.” 

Like Chobak, Hamelin 

went into the contest very 

aware of Fenwick’s capabilities. 

“They were a team I was 

concerned with,” said the 

first-year head coach, who 

was an assistant coach last 

season. “They can score 

goals. 

“We kept it simple. We 

have a lot of talent and 

we’re much better as a 

team than as individuals. 

We moved the puck 

around and created opportunities. 

Caitlin showed 

why she’s a special hockey 

player and Jojo was stellar 

in goal — her ground 

game and positioning were 

tremendous.”

Loyola’s Ciesla fills 

in at goalie in 4-3 

semifinal win 

Neil Milbert 


Loyola Academy sophomore 

Gabriella Ciesla, 

who is normally a utility 

player at forward and defense, 

was called upon to 

put on goaltender’s pads 

in the semifinals of the Illinois 

State High School 

Hockey Championships. 

She emerged as one of 

the heroines of the 4-3 

overtime victory over the 

Latin School of Chicago 

on Monday, March 6, at 

The Edge Ice Arena in 

Bensenville. 

Greta Skarzynski scored 

the winning goal, assisted 

by Tess Dettling, with 4:45 

to play in the sudden-death 

session. 

“We wouldn’t have 

been in that situation if it 

wasn’t for Gabriella,” Dettling 

said. “She made great 

saves.” 

When Ciesla got home 

from school Monday, she 

got the word that she was 

going to have to replace 

All-State goalie Tianna 

Lavalle for the defending 

state champions in that 

night’s pivotal game. Lavalle 

was unable to practice 

the previous night 

because of leg and ankle 

injuries, and came to game 

on crutches. 

With no other goalie on 

his roster, Loyola coach 

Mike Glass asked Ciesla 

to play the most important 

role she has ever played. 

“She had to borrow 

goalie gear,” Glass said 

of Ciesla. “We only used 

her in goal in six or eight 

games this year and a couple 

last year. She was terrified 

before the game. That 

was a very good team she 

was facing.” 

Latin (14-7-2) went into 

the game ranked No. 3 in 

Illinois, behind top-ranked 

Glenbrook and Loyola 

(19-4-4). In losing two of 

their three regular-season 

games to Latin, which had 

representatives of five other 

Chicago schools on its 

roster, the Ramblers were 

outscored 9-5. 

“My coach calls me ‘the 

utility man,’” Ciesla said. 

“I was wearing Tianna’s 

number and I wanted to 

make her proud. People 

who didn’t know she was 

injured saw the number 

and thought it was her. 

“I was scared. I didn’t 

want to let my teammates 

down, especially the seniors 

who will never again 

have a chance to win the 

tournament. It was the 

most pressure I ever had 

on me. I couldn’t let the 

puck get through me.” 

In the second minute of 

the action-filled contest, 

Kathryn Pohl’s goal gave 

Loyola’s Greta Skarzynski shoots the game-winning shot of the Amateur Hockey 

Association Illinois state semifinals March 6 in Bensenville. Carlos Alvarez/22nd 

Century Media 

Latin the lead, but Skarzynski 

rammed in a pointblank 

rebound on a power 

play to tie the score as the 

buzzer sounded to end the 

opening period. Dettling 

and Valerie Caldwell assisted 

on the goal, which 

was awarded only after a 

few minutes of deliberation 

by the referees. 

In the second period, 

the Ramblers took a twogoal 

lead on goals by 

Jenna Rekoske (assisted 

by Charlotte Langill and 

Caldwell) and Jayna Park, 

who succeeded in scoring 

after point-blank shots by 

Skarzynski and Dettling 

were rejected. 

But late in the middle 

period Pohl scored on a 

power play, cutting the 

lead to 3-2. Then, with 

8:59 left in the third, All- 

State defenseman Kendra 

Nealy sent a shot from the 

right point whizzing past 

Ciesla to tie the score. 

To send the game into 

overtime, the Ramblers 

had to kill a penalty with 

2:31 left in regulation. 

Latin attacked incessantly 

but Ciesla, who finished 

with 26 saves, made clutch 

saves and Skarzynski excelled 

as a penalty-killer 

for the second time in the 

contest. 

The pressure intensified 

in the sudden-death situation, 

but then senior All- 

State forwards Dettling 

and Skarzynski teamed up 

to send the Ramblers to the 

state championship game 

for the fourth time in their 

careers. 

“I picked up a loose 

puck, made a deke or two 

and then got it off to Greta, 

who snapped it off quick,” 

Dettling said. 

Shooting from the right 

circle, Skarzynski found 

the net between the left 

post and All-State goalie 

Alexandra Rodman’s left 

shoulder. 

“I saw Tess pick the 

puck off one of their girls 

and I knew if she got it to 

me I had to get it in,” Skarzynski 

said. 

Second in the state in 

2014 and 2015 before winning 

the state championship 

last season, Loyola 

now will meet Glenbrook 

for the 2017 title on March 

17 at the United Center. 

The Ramblers are the only 

team to defeat Glenbrook 

this season, winning 3-2 

on Jan. 29. In their other 

encounters, the Ramblers 

lost 4-2 on Nov. 20, tied 

1-1 on Feb. 4 and lost 6-1 

in the Scholastic Cup playoff 

final on Feb. 28.
