Village candidates debate key issues at forum
Topics include
budgets, sanctuary
status, freight train
holding track
Alan P. Henry
Freelance Reporter
The four candidates
seeking three spots on the
Glenview Village Board
of Trustees sounded off on
issues ranging from the hiring
of a new village manager
and the freight holding
track proposal to sanctuary
cities and affordable housing
during a lively forum
sponsored Saturday, March
18, by the League of Women
Voters of Glenview/
Glencoe.
The candidates included
John Hinkamp, Deborah
Karton, Karim Khoja and
Vince Spalo. Incumbents
Hinkamp and Karton, as
well as newcomer Khoja,
are running as a slate under
Unite Glenview. Newcomer
Spalo is running as
an independent.
Spalo, a firefighter/paramedic
with the Glenview
Fire Department, said the
city “is in outstanding financial
shape,” but said
former Village Manager
Todd Hileman “was tasked
with running the Village
like a Fortune 500 company
that resulted in exorbitant
pay and bonuses to the
manager and department
heads and reduced levels of
service.” Hileman was paid
more than any governor in
the country or city manager
in the state, he said. ”This
is the time to let the board
know the Village is not a
Fortune 500 company,” he
said, adding that among
other moves he would support
reevaluating the fiscal
merits of hiring some types
of private contractors.
Karton, who has been
serving as a trustee since
2005, called Spalo’s charge
that the village had paid
$1.1 million in bonuses to
the manager and department
heads from 2012 to
2015 “not right” and “totally
unacceptable.” The
number during that period,
she said, was $352,400.
She noted that bonuses
can be an incentivizing part
of pay packages at the management
level.
“All of their compensation
is not just because they
show up,” she said.
Spalo said he would
recuse himself on issues
related to fire department
contracts, but Karton said
there are many other interrelated
budget issues that
could also present a conflict
of interest for him.
Both Karton and
Hinkamp said that in the
search for a new village
manager they will be looking
for someone who is
“wiling to challenge the
status quo.”
Hinkamp added that the
right candidate “will present
me with all sides of an
issue.” He added that the
board had hired Hileman
“with eyes wide open” and
that in turn the Village had
received positive “value”
from him.
Khoja cited his business
management skills as a
major reason he should be
elected for the first time. He
is president/CEO of Northshore
Management Group,
which owns 70 Dunkin’
Donuts in the Chicagoland
area and employees more
than 1,000 people.
“I know how to balance
budgets and read financial
statements,” he said.
He noted that in the
course of developing properties,
he has been “on the
other side of the dais” and
as such is familiar with village
processes regarding
development.
Asked how they might
mitigate the threatened loss
of state funding due to the
ongoing budget crisis, both
Hinkamp and Karton noted
that they have partnered
with the private sector to
keep costs down. They
have also developed municipal
partnering to bid out
items in bulk, Karton said.
“We have a balanced
budget and adequate reserves
to get us through any
shortfall,” Hinkamp said.
Asked whether they
would consider designating
Glenview a “sanctuary
city,” Khoja called the issue
a “sensitive and emotional
topic. I don’t want to support
something that is illegal.
On the other hand, our
village is a very welcoming
community.”
Spalo said “current practice
is just fine. If someone
is charged or caught in the
commission of a crime and
it comes out that their status
is not legal, then I believe
that gets kicked up
to a higher level and other
federal agencies come and
take care of those types of
situations.”
Karton said the trustees
“would need a lot more information.”
She said “cur-

Avoca School District 37 School Board (5 FOR 4 FOUR-YEAR TERMS)
Name: Dan E.
Garbis
Age: 43
Residence: Wilmette
Occupation: Attorney
Past local gov-
Garbis
ernment/rela-
tive experience: None
What is the biggest issue
facing your coverage area?
The biggest issue facing our
school district right now is the
Avoca Center property. We
have to decide how we will deal
with a structure that is well past
its useful life. We have to balance
the need to have this land
remain public versus the costs
associated with maintaining
this property. The Avoca Center
could potentially cost the district
substantial sums of money to
maintain, yet selling public land
to a private developer may cause
more issues for the district and
its residents. The future Avoca
School Board must explore all
options in retaining the land such
as entering into a partnership
with the Wilmette Park District
to develop the land and keep it
public. Selling public land for a
quick fix would not benefit the
district in future years.
What makes you a top
candidate for this position?
As a lawyer with an accounting
background, I specialize in
commercial litigation. I have
built my career on representing
numerous clients that are facing
various financial challenges
that often result in the filing of
legal proceedings. I am an evenkeeled
individual that believes
in solving problems that would
benefit all parties rather than engage
in contracted litigation that
will only result in depleting the
assets of the parties involved in
the dispute. Throughout my legal
career, I have negotiated and
resolved an assortment of cases
from small collection matters to
complex, multi-million dollar
business transactions that have
soured. I believe that through my
extensive experience, I would
make a strong board member
who would strive to keep the
District’s spending within budget
without the need to ask our
residents for future tax hikes.

What is the biggest issue facing
your coverage area?
The biggest issues facing the
Avoca School District is the balance
between uncertain fiscal
pressures and improving educational
excellence. Avoca is running
in a deficit spending environment
for the first time since the
2009 referendum. Coming to the
end of the promised life of that
increase in revenue, the Avoca
School Board will need to make
prudent financial decisions to utilize
the revenue available. With
state levied fiscal pressures on
the district’s revenue — possible
property tax freeze, recalculation
of the school funding formula
and shift to a local pension — fiscal
creativity and sobriety will be
critical.
We value education in our
community. Keeping the Avoca
Board accountable to the nonparent
tax payer — accounting
for 70 percent of the constituency
— is a critical responsibility
to balance while maintaining the
exemplary level education our
community demands.
New Trier’s newest data on the
preparedness of Avoca students
and complicated results of the
MAP and PARCC tests identify
specific areas for improvement.
Having data is terrific, understanding
the results and executing
solutions are essential. As an
educational professional, I will
bring a necessary perspective to
the board.
As nearly 50 percent of our
property taxes flow to the district,
and the quality of the schools define
our property value, all constituents,
not just parents, require
a voice on the board. I plan to be
one of those voices.
What makes you a top candidate
for this position?
A new school board candidate
must be extremely informed, period.
We do not have the time for
a learning curve. The immediate
issues are too important. We absolutely
must hit the ground running
on day one.
Fortunately, keeping abreast of
the ever-changing landscape of
education is a critical part of my
professional life as an owner of
an educational services company.
I deal with educational concerns
and strategies daily.
Direct engagement with the
myriad stakeholders in the Avoca
community has been most informative.
I have had several frank
and probing meetings with each
administrator. Attending almost
every school board meeting over
the past year, and village board
meetings as well, has given me a
global sense of the issues affecting
our non-parent community.
Committee work has allowed me
to delve deeper into the details.
Serving on several high-level
committees including the Strategic
Planning, Communication,
Innovation Grant and the Pupil
Services Director Selection committees,
I have learned the inner
workings of the district from the
perspective of teachers, administrators
and parents.

District 37
What is the biggest issue
facing your area?
The biggest issue facing
residents in my coverage
area is the District’s ability
to sustain its reputation
for delivering students a
nurturing learning environment
with a tradition of
academic excellence given
the financial uncertainty
facing the District. My top
priorities are to ensure: 1)
A vertically aligned, rigorous
curriculum from K-8,
which prepares students for
the demands of high school;
2) The improvement of intervention
systems to better
assess, support and differentiate
student learning; 3)
Effective communication
from the District to staff,
parents and the greater
community as a whole;
and 4) Prudent management
of the District’s aging
facilities. I support the
sale of the Avoca Center to
provide a financial cushion
to the District. Specifically,
the District is operating at a
deficit because it is unable
to raise revenues to cover
its expenses. Meanwhile,
the District is required to
invest in a backlog of mandated
life safety projects.
Finally, given its sparse
staffing levels at the administrative
level and the
prospect of a property tax
freeze, the sale is the best
solution from both a financial
and operating perspective.
However, the sale is
a complicated process that
impacts many residents so
I would proceed with caution.
What makes you a top
candidate for this position?
I believe the District
will benefit from the fresh
perspective of a passionate
parent board member.
I am qualified to serve due
to my strong interpersonal
and analytical skills. I have
attained meaningful relationships
with administration,
staff and parents over
the past nine years. I have
first-hand experience with
most services offered by
the District including the
preschool, gifted programs
and support services. I am
also a dedicated volunteer.
I currently chair the
eighth grade graduation
committee and serve as
room parent. I served on
the committee that developed
the Strategic Plan,
which is valuable because
I learned firsthand, from
multiple stakeholders, how
they perceive the District’s
strengths and weaknesses
and what is essential to implement
change. I hold an
undergraduate degree in architecture
from the University
of California at Berkeley
and an MBA from the
University of Chicago.

What is the biggest issue
facing your coverage area?
Without question, the
biggest issue for Avoca
District 37 is the financial
uncertainty we face due to
multiple factors. Potential
threats to funding including
a property tax freeze,
the shift in pension costs
and redirection of public
school funds via voucher
programs require us to be
fiscally disciplined, proactive
and creative. We are
also in a deficit position
for the first time in several
years. Due to these factors,
it is critical that we
align our strategic objectives
with spending decisions.
Linking strategic
priorities to spending will
ensure we make prudent
investments and remain
fiscally responsible.
What makes you a top
candidate for this position?
As a results-oriented
finance professional, with
experience in industries
including consumer products
and manufacturing,
I have the skills required
to analyze trends, assess
risks, and most importantly,
execute on key strategic
objectives, all in a fiscally
responsible manner.

Avoca School District 37 School Board (5 FOR 4 FOUR-YEAR TERMS)
Name: Rick Zelinsky
Age: 48
Residence:
Northfield
Occupation:
Zelinsky
Technology executive
Past local government/relative
experience: Current
D37 Board of Education
vice-president, two-term Avoca
School Board member
What is the biggest issue facing
your coverage area?
Avoca Center is the biggest
issue facing the next Avoca
School Board. Avoca Center is a
former school building that has
been rented out since 1977. The
Board and the community-atlarge
agreed that performing the
substantial renovations required
to a building not used to educate
children was not in the best interest
of the district. Thus, the new
Avoca Board of Education will
need to decide what should be
done with the property. Current
options being considered include
selling the parcel to a developer
to build single-family homes,
working with the Wilmette Park
District to develop the property
for a village-wide purpose or
razing the building and retaining
the land as greenspace. I look
forward to continuing to engage
the Avoca community to ensure
the option selection provides the
greatest benefit to the district.
What makes you a top
candidate for this position?
Over the past eight years
serving the District, I have
provided thoughtful leadership
to the Avoca School Board.
As a board, we have successfully
navigated through many
mandated changes in education
(Common Core, Performance
Evaluation Reform Act, etc.)
while retaining an excellent academic
program and a balanced
budget. My background in
technology provides a unique
perspective to the Board as
21st century skills continue to
be infused with technology to
enhance learning. Lastly, I look
forward to the implementation
of our recently created strategic
plan.
I have lived in the Avoca
School District for the past 16
years with my wife and two
children. Both of my boys attended
Avoca from kindergarten
through eighth grade and
are now a freshman in college
and a junior at New Trier High
School. I’ve been on the Avoca
District 37 School Board for
the past eight years, the last
two as Board Vice President.
I’ve had the pleasure to serve
the Board as both a parent and,
more recently, a general community
member. I am a technology
professional by trade
and was initially drawn to the
Board of Education after serving
the District as a parent on
the Technology Committee that
established and implemented
Avoca’s highly successful 1-to-
1 laptop initiative.

experience: I have volunteered in
both the private and public school
system covering wide-ranging
roles, from a school board member
at St. Joseph High School in Westchester,
to a freshman football
coach at Adlai E. Stevenson High
School in Lincolnshire. I volunteer
as a board member to Enlightened
Learning Pathways, LLC (“ELP”)
located in Deerfield. ELP is a fullscale
educational support company
that offers various types of
students a place to seek the help
they need to be successful.
What is the biggest issue facing
the district?
District 30 is a thriving school
district, with excellent leadership
and a wonderful sense of community.
To that end, I think it is
imperative that we continue to
challenge our entire district, which
includes all of the students, faculty
and families, so our schools continue
functioning as strong learning
communities. Thus, we must continue
to provide our teachers with
the resources they need to be able
to do work in a prosperous environment,
and in turn, will only enhance
each student’s learning capabilities
and experience. The late Dr. Richard
DuFour once said, “the core
mission of formal education is not
simply to ensure that students are
taught but to ensure that they learn.
This simple shift — from a focus
on teaching to a focus on learning
— has profound implications for
schools.” If District 30 can practice
this notion that students are not
just taught but can experience the
true essence of learning, there is no
doubt that the District 30 community
will only continue to see overwhelming
results.
What message would you like to
share with voters?
I understand the traditional view
of the public school is a forum for
the community. In times when political
ideologies are pulling people
apart — I recognize the public
school has always been a place
where the opposite should be true
— a place for common ground. I
know that when schools truly work
as teams — parents and the community
are equal partners in that
team driven for success. Finally, I
realize that children do not attend
school in a vacuum. They live and
play in a community that is comprised
of diverse people, ideas and
perspectives. I am thrilled to bring
this sense of “team” and “community”
as a board member to
District 30.

Past local government/relative
experience: District 30 School
Board member, four years.
What is the biggest issue facing
the district?
The aging facilities. The
board unanimously supported
a 34-member Citizens’ Task
Force recommendation to place
a referendum on the ballot for
the April 4 election to replace
Maple School and complete
health/life-Safety work at our
elementary schools. The Citizens’
Task Force concluded that
it was not fiscally responsible
to continue to put millions of
dollars into the current Maple
School and the decision now
lies with our community.
What message would you like to
share with voters?
We chose Northbrook as our
home many years ago because
of the great schools and that is
what will continue to attract
new families to our community.

Past Local government/relative
experience:
District 30 Caucus
What is the biggest issue
facing the district?
I recently toured the three
schools in District 30 and it
was clear that the facilities
need to be the top priority to
continue to provide an excellent
education for our students.
The teachers and administration
continue to work hard to
give our students the very best
learning opportunities, but the
facilities are becoming the limiting
factor in carrying out those
plans. Staff is doing a great job
working with the space we
have, but our older buildings
are creating challenges that can
only be fixed with some capital
improvement projects. The
district leadership has done a
great job getting out in front
of this issue and working with
the community to assess and
address these needs. The board
will need to continue to plan
and evaluate all of the options
available to ensure that our facilities
will be able to accommodate
future learning needs.
My family has benefited greatly
from all that District 30 has
to offer. I have been an active
volunteer in District 30 since
2005. I have served as a District
30 board member for the last
four years and want to continue
to serve the community. Great
schools are the backbone of any
community and don’t happen
by accident. It takes community
members that truly care about
our schools to be involved and
volunteer their time to that end.
I want to ensure our district
continues to evolve and grow to
provide the best education possible
to all children both now
and in the future.
What message would you like
to share with voters?
My experience as a project
manager with the federal
government has given me
a lot of experience that
will apply to being on the
board. I work with teams of
engineers, local government
entities and the public to solve
problems while ensuring
that taxpayer money is
wisely spent. The skills I use
every day on the job will
serve me well in this new
position and I look forward
to joining a great board that
works hard together with the
administration in the best
interest of our students.

Glenbrook D225 Board of Education (3 candidates for 4 four-year seats)
Name: Bruce Doughty
Age: 53
Residence: Northbrook
Occupation: Attorney
Past local government/
relative experience:
Board member, Glenbrook
High School District 225
(2012-present); Chairman,
Doughty
Northbrook Community Relations Commission
(2015-present), Commissioner
(2009-2015)
What would you recommend the district
do to address the issue of student
substance abuse?
District 225 should continue to follow its
multifaceted approach to substance abuse
to help ensure the safety and well-being of
our students. One critical component of this
strategy is education, including ongoing efforts
to teach students about the harmful
effects of substance abuse, empower them
to resist pressures to engage in such abuse
and inform them about places to turn for assistance.
The district also should continue
partnering with parents, middle schools,
local organizations and the community at
large to help students, as substance abuse
issues transcend school boundaries. In addition,
the district should continue to offer
counseling to students and their families to
treat substance issues that do arise. The district
also should maintain its efforts to deter
substance abuse, fostering a substance-free
environment while using a graduated system
of discipline. Beyond these undertakings,
the district should continue its ongoing
vigilance, ensuring that adult supervision is
present, concerns are investigated, trends
are reviewed and potential new measures
are evaluated for possible improvements.
What message would you like to share
with voters about what makes you the
best candidate?
I believe that I am well qualified to continue
serving as a board member for District
225. My experience spans a wide range
of issues, including curriculum, finance,
facilities, technology, activities, athletics,
safety and long-term strategy. I also have
strong working relationships with my fellow
board members and the district’s administrators,
all of whom I greatly respect.
In addition, with a child in the school, I
am closely connected with parents and
teachers.
I also believe that my approach to board
duties is well suited to our community.
As a board member, I am entrusted with
helping consider and decide issues facing
the district. To this end, I work diligently
to obtain and evaluate full information on
issues, and where diverse interests are involved,
I strive to promote understanding
and reach mutually beneficial resolutions.
In all cases, I maintain deep appreciation
of the district’s tremendous resources and
accomplishments, while persevering to
find ways to improve.
Above all, I care profoundly about our
children’s education, particularly during
their critical high school years. This
education is fundamental to their development,
teaching lifelong skills, imparting
knowledge and values and inspiring
intellectual exploration. I would be honored
to continue supporting this development
through service on the board.

Past experience: I am a founding
trustee of the Glenbrook
High School Foundation, and
I have held the presidencies of
several parent organizations in
District 28 and District 225, as
well as board-level positions
in parent organizations. I am
a member of the Leadership
Council of NSSED (North Shore
Special Education District).
Past local government/relative
experience: I have served on the
District 225 Board of Education
since 2012. I was appointed to
a vacated seat on the board in
2012 and elected to a four-year
term the following year.
What would you recommend the
district do to address the issue
of student substance abuse?
To address the issue of student
substance abuse: Student safety
is of paramount concern for all
of us. District 225 will continue
to maintain safe school environments
using a variety of means,
including alert student monitoring
and instructional practices
that foster student trust, selfesteem
and well-being. Our
schools provide education both
in and outside the classroom
that promotes healthy choices
and encourages appreciation for
our students’ abilities and differences.
The administration and
Board of Education constantly
seek out additional resources
and tools to further these goals,
such as the recently introduced
Text-A-Tip program.
What message would you like
to share with voters about what
makes you the best candidate?
I am eager to continue to
serve with my colleagues on
the District 225 Board of Education.
We each bring different
experiences and perspectives to
this role, but together we work
diligently to uphold the exceptional
quality of our schools.
This requires balancing the
high expectations of our communities
with reasonable and
sustainable expenditure, so that
we can continue to offer a wide
range of student opportunity to
all, as well as providing a supportive
environment for our talented
faculty and staff.
Currently, a particular interest
of mine is the district’s ongoing
study of learning spaces,
which is helping us to better
understand how classroom
design can facilitate student
engagement and collaboration.

What would you recommend the
district do to address the issue
of student substance abuse?
This is a complex issue because
substance abuse obviously
doesn’t exist in an isolated bubble
From the Village
Early voting begins Monday
The April 4 Consolidated Election
has a number of local offices
on the ballot, including those for
municipal, township, park district,
public library and school
board seats.
Glenview Village Hall, 2500
East Lake Ave., is serving as an
early voting polling place. Early
voting will take place through 5
p.m. on Monday, April 3 (no Sunday
voting).
Cook County residents can
also register to vote at Glenview
at the schools but extends beyond
the school’s borders. The families
and community need to be
actively involved with the youth
outside of the school. However,
at the school level, the district
has the responsibility to continue
raising awareness of substance
abuse and educating our teens
on the dangers associated with it.
The district should also continue
supporting the guidance counselors
who work closely with current
students who seek help and
recovery. With the Text a Tip app
that is being rolled out, students
are also able to seek counseling
anywhere and at any time.
To help ensure that the prohibited
substances do not make their
way into the school, the district
should have increased camera
Village Hall at the same time and
dates. Bring two forms of identification.
Special census starts soon
The Village is working with
the U.S. Census Bureau to conduct
a special census to get an
updated population count. This
new count will help us receive
additional state revenues that we
need to provide essential services
like street repair, public safety
and programs for our seniors. To
find out more about our Special
surveillance and coverage at the
schools and increased presence
of additional staff throughout the
school. The anonymous GBS
and GBN hotlines also offer fellow
students who observe any
concerning activity a mechanism
to share information with the administration
and help make the
schools safer.
What message would you like
to share with voters about what
makes you the best candidate?
I can’t say that I’m the best
candidate; however, I think that
my background and experiences
as a current 225 mom, a previous
high school teacher and a
staff member at a local university
offer unique perspectives that
I can bring to the board.

NORTHFIELD TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE (4 FOR 4 FOUR-YEAR TERMS)
Name: James E. Hanlon Jr.
Age: 57
Residence:
Northbrook
Past local
government/relative
experience:
An Hanlon Jr.
assistant
Cook County state’s attorney,
serving as chief of
the Special Litigation Division
of the Office’s Civil
Action Bureau; No prior
elected government experience,
but ran twice for
Cook County Circuit Court
judge; Served in various
roles in the Northbrook
Caucus
Why did you decide to run?
I have always been active
in the communities in
which I live and work. That
involvement has taken
many forms, and now that
my two sons are grown, I
want to shift my focus to
the community at large.
I am quite familiar with
Township government, as
my wife previously served
as a Northfield Township
trustee. I know that the
services the Township provides
are valued and important,
as we serve areas
and segments of our population
that do not always
have a voice at other levels
of government.
What do you think is the
biggest issue facing your
coverage area?
The reliable, efficient
and cost effective delivery
of the services that
township governments are
statutorily charged with
providing is most important.
We have an excellent
Township staff, and vigilant
and diligent oversight
is key to maintaining their
effectiveness. As in my
legal career, I will focus
on identifying and implementing
process and technology
changes that can
help us be more efficient
and effective in the delivery
of our services. The
other factor we now face
is that there are efforts at
the state and county levels
to consolidate the services
provided by townships
with similar services provided
by other units of local
government. I think I
can be an effective partner
in implementing whatever
changes that consolidation
may bring.
What makes you a strong
candidate for this position?
I am an experienced
lawyer who works well
with others (an underrated
quality in public officials.)
Working well with others
does not mean going along
to get along. It involves
having the patience and
commitment to listen and
understand different perspectives,
and it requires us
to find solutions that serve
the common good.
What do you want people
to know about you?
I have been married for
30 years. Together, we
have two great boys, Kevin,
about to leave for the
U.S. Marines boot camp,
and Jack, a college freshman.
Name: Shiva
Mohsenzadeh
Age: 42
Residence:
Glenview
Occupation:
Since Mohsenzadeh
2013, legislative
aide to State Representative
Laura Fine, who
represents a large section
of Northfield Township;
prior to that legislative
aide to Illinois Senators
Jeff Schoenberg and Carol
Ronen
Past local government/
relative experience: Corporate
and Securities attorney
and a certified mediator
Why did you decide to run?
I am running to keep
our township government
transparent, efficient and
accountable to taxpayers.
Northfield Township
government’s mandate
is to provide general and
emergency assistance to
our residents. Hundreds of
Northfield Township residents
rely on the services
of the township and the
food pantry to make ends
meet. I feel it is important
to give back to our township
and care for our less
fortunate neighbors. As a
board member, I would
support our food pantry
so it can continue its great
work. I would also like to
find ways to improve and
streamline the township
delivery of services and
find synergies with other
units of government to help
improve those services
while reducing costs.
What do you think is the
biggest issue facing your
coverage area?
Our township governmental
units have at times
operated in silos and not
taken advantage of opportunities
to work with other
governmental entities to
deliver services more efficiently.
If elected, I will
review all township contracts
and obligations and
find ways to work cooperatively
with others so we
can improve services while
lowering costs.
What makes you a strong
candidate for this position?
I have worked, lived
and volunteered in the
township for the last seven
years. I have worked
with local officials, community
organizations and
businesses on various issues.
Because of my experiences,
I appreciate
the complexities of public
policy as well as the challenges
facing the average
taxpayer.
What do you want people
to know about you?
I live in Glenview with
my husband and two
sons. I am on the District
34 PTA Council, the
League of Women Voters
of Glenview-Glencoe, the
board of the Glenview
Education Foundation
and a graduate of Illinois
Women’s Institute for
Leadership. I believe that
I have a responsibility to
make my community a
better place through civic
engagement.

first four-year term
as a Township trustee;
Member of Family Service
Center Board and American
Theatre Company
Board; Previously sat on
the parent advisory board
for Glenbrook South High
School
Why did you decide to run?
I feel my previous four
years as a trustee will
bring continuity to the new
board. I am passionate
about the charities we support
and proud to work to
ensure this important level
of our government works
efficiently and effectively.
What do you think is the
biggest issue facing your
coverage area?
Keeping our tax levy
low while providing the
highest level of service to
the public and support to
those most in need. The
Township is known for the
important role our food
pantry fulfills for those
in need, plus we also offer
assistance in appealing
property taxes and passport
services. While most residents
of the township live
in the villages of Glenview,
Northbrook or Northfield,
many live in unincorporated
areas, and they need
services and representation
as well, which the Township
provides.
What makes you a strong
candidate for this position?
I understand the needs of
the township and the citizens
we serve.
What do you want people
to know about you?
My husband, Dan, and I
were both raised in Glenview,
chose to raise our
family here and have lived
here for most of our lives.
We have many friends in
Northbrook and Northfield
as well. Serving in such
an important local level of
government that has a direct
impact on neighbors and
those around us is something
very important to me.

Why did you decide to run?
I decided to run for
Northfield Township trustee
with the help of many
wonderful professionals
who supported me fully in
this decision.
What do you think is the
biggest issue facing your
coverage area?
[A] major issue should
always be [the] well-being
of residents in the township.
I wanted to become
a productive part of our
community, and I wanted
learn how to better serve
our ever-growing township
to the best of our abilities.
I hope to bring a new perspective
[and] new voice
to our ever-growing and
diverse community. I look
forward to working with
our dynamic team at the
Township, and as a new
trustee, I’m looking forward
to learning and figuring
out the township role.
What makes you a strong
candidate for this position?
I feel that I will serve
my community well as a
Northfield Township trustee
because I am ready to serve
my community and I can
bring a new and global prospective.
What do you want people
to know about you?
I would like my community
friends to know
that I believe in the “Four
C” concept, which is:
compassion, competence,
character and confidence. I
would like to give a voice
and an opportunity to participate
to all the different
cultures that live within our
neighborhoods, so that we
can grow as a community.
I look forward to meeting
and learning more about
the people in our township
and I will work hard to
bring unity to all the residence
we serve.

Brickman
Why did you decide to run?
I was asked to run at a volunteer event.
but funding is a challenge. At Northfield
Township, we continue to support
local mental health and substance
abuse treatment providers and work
cooperatively with them to help them
reach more residents in need. These
issues pose challenges for families,
schools, law enforcement, health care
providers and social service agencies.
By strengthening the network of all of
these groups, we are able to support
solutions.
What makes you a strong candidate for
this position?
I have been and still am involved in
a variety of community activities which
gives me something of an overview of
our area, and have demonstrated a combination
of fiscal restraint and compassion
for people in need.
What do you want most for people to
know about you?
That I love my job and am grateful for
the opportunity to serve in this capacity.
NORTHFIELD TOWNSHIP CLERK (1 FOR 1 FOUR-YEAR TERM)
Lechner
What do you think is the biggest issue
facing your coverage area and how do
you plan to approach it?
By far, the biggest issue facing our area
is rising property taxes. Sadly, our property
taxes are rising at a rate not commensurate
with property values which can be
a burden for many families and the elderly.
When our residents suffer unemployment
or have a surgery with medication
costs, bills may have to be paid before the
grocery store visit. Our Northfield Food
Pantry receives donations from generous
vendors and our residents can visit
the food pantry. It is very encouraging to
see how generous our community can be
when people are in need.
What makes you a strong candidate for
this position?
I have an IT background and have always
volunteered when my six children
were in school. I think I chaperoned just
about every field trip and dance, so it was
a natural to help out at the Township.
What do you want most people to know
about you?
That I value the importance of giving
back, volunteering and giving of yourself.
It’s natural to help your own family,
but it’s even better when you can give of
yourself and help others.

and civilly; Experience with regulation

Why did you decide to run?
This is my first time running for public
office. I grew up in a politician’s home.
My father was the Maine Township assessor
for many years. Through his years
of service, I saw the only meaningful
rewards come from doing something
worthwhile for the people you serve. I
have spent several years donating my
time to various groups to “help out.”
When I learned that the current highway
commissioner was not going to run again
this term, I saw my opportunity to serve.

Reporting by Erin Yarnall,
Freelance Reporter. Full
story at HPLandmark.com.
What do you think is the biggest issue
facing your coverage area and how do
you plan to approach it?
In one word — flooding. There are
several areas in the township that flood
regularly. I will of course seek assistance
from the county, state and federal
government. In the short term, I plan to
implement more pumps, sand bags, clear
or construct ditches and map and survey
the rain water drainage system.
What makes you a strong candidate for
this position?
I believe that I am the best candidate for
this position because of my knowledge of
the area. I watched this area develop and
redeveloped again. I have many years of
managerial experience. I feel that my previous
work experience proves that.
What do you want most for people to
know about you?
I am a family man with three boys and
have lived in and around the township
for most of my life. Most of the people in
the township are friends and neighbors.
I want the Road District to be transparent,
accountable and most of all, service
oriented.
THE NORTHBROOK TOWER
Northbrook rally brings
community out for
kindness
Maura Crisham did not
like what she was seeing.
News reports of hate
crimes and hoax bomb
threats across the country
worried her. But it was
the swastikas drawn in
the men’s restroom at the
Northbrook Public Library
that horrified and shocked
her the most. There were
five instances of swastikas
or swastika-like symbols
being drawn between November-January,
with four
of the symbols accompanied
by the word “Trump.”
“No place should have
this sort of graffiti,” Crisham,
a Northbrook resident,
said. “It seems particularly
horrid that it would be at a
library.”
Assisted by library staff,
Crisham organized a Rally
for Kindness on the lawn
of Greenbriar School. Attendees
made a kindness
chain by writing a pledge
for kindness on small
strips of paper, which were
to ultimately be looped
together and displayed in
the library. Children also
made buttons with the
words “love” and “friendship”
written on them.

What do you see as the biggest issue
facing the Glenview Public Library
and how do you plan to approach it?
The biggest issue facing the Glenview
Public Library (GPL) today is
sustaining a thriving organization
that is delivering relevant services to
its patrons while balancing the fiscal
concerns of taxpayers and the community
goals at large. I approach all
we do at the library in support of this
balance.
As the Glenview community
changes, GPL continues to see a
changing demographic in its patrons,
culturally and linguistically, spanning
a very broad age range. Serving
patrons, at different stages of life and
with distinct wants, means staying
well-informed and agile in resolving
challenges. GPL is a reflection of its
community that has grown, gotten
older and even younger. Glenview
isn’t static, and neither is our vision
for GPL. I support providing robust,
‘traditional’ services and programming
for all patrons while offering
newer, technology-based offerings
to a growing group of information
literate, ‘millennial’ clientele.
I believe a strong library and
to keep the library current and indispensable.
Toward that end, I will
work (with the other board members)
to develop a well-thought-out,
long-term strategy that will address
an increasingly digital future, the
needs of the patrons and community,
and the library’s role in the revitalization
of downtown Glenview.
What makes you a top candidate for
this position?
My prior experience at a mid-sized
Chicago not-for-profit enterprise, my
financial background, and my promise
to focus on the library’s longterm
strategy and financials.
strong schools are the cornerstones
of our community. The excellence of
the Glenview Public Library was a
strong factor when my husband and I
chose Glenview to raise our children.
As trustee and longtime resident of
Glenview, I know first-hand the remarkable
role the library plays in
fostering the intellectual and creative
development of our children. GPL
is a critical vehicle for building our
skills and making us thoughtful and
careful consumers of news and media,
in learning how to assess sources
of information and evaluating data to
clearly understand the issues affecting
our lives, our community, our
country and our world.
What makes you a top candidate for
this position?
When I was growing up, the public
library and its librarians introduced
me to a world of ideas, involved
me in my community, and helped
me discover my calling in business,
technology and higher education. I
believe that I am an excellent candidate
for trustee because of my extensive
service and management experience
and my ability to adapt and find
solutions to the toughest situations.
GPL has progressed from a quiet
setting of individual academic pursuits
to a center of active learning
experiences. My vision is to continue
our commendable record of service
to the Glenview community while
continually striving to improve the
quality of service, and evaluating applicable
efficiencies.

Past local
government/relevant experience:
As a Glenview
Public Library trustee, I was
instrumental in planning the
library’s new building, completed
in 2010. I regularly
visit area libraries to ensure
Glenview continues to have
the finest library for the diverse
community it serves.
What do you see as the biggest
issue facing the Glenview Public
Library and how do you plan to
approach it?
We have the finest library in
the area. We must continue to
lead with technology advancements
and opportunities that
extend the library beyond the
building itself. For example,
Hoopla, MyMediaMall and
Zinio are presently available
24/7 so our library card holders
can download eBooks, digital
movies, TV shows, magazines
and music from any location at
their convenience.
Fiscal responsibility is essential
for a successful library,
and I am applying strengths
from my background and experiences.
In addition to serving
as a Glenview Library
trustee since 2003, I have a
degree from Roosevelt University,
spent two years in the
Army, ran my own accounting
firm and served as adjunct
professor at Oakton Community
College. I am active with
the North Shore Senior Center
and the Glenview Sunrise
Rotary Club.

I welcome input and suggestions
from the community.

government/
relative experience: I have
served on various boards and
committees over the years. In
college, as vice president of
Duke Student Government, I
served as a non-voting member
of Duke’s Board of Trustees.
More recently, I chaired
my law firm’s Women’s Network
and served on the Fellowship
Committee of Glenview
Community Church. I
chair Duke’s Chicago Alumni
Interviewing Committee and
served on Duke’s Women’s
Forum Steering Committee.
My most relevant experience
stems from what I do
every day for Accenture. I
analyze, strategize and advise.
I investigate facts, assess arguments
and distill large amounts
of complex information to advise
the business on how best
to resolve issues and achieve
good business outcomes.
What do you see as the biggest
issue facing the Glenview Public
Library and how do you plan to
approach it?
I believe strategic planning
is the most critical issue facing
the library. It will be important
to set a path for the
library to remain a relevant,
vital resource for Glenview
that is economically sustainable.
This means assessing
everything from policies to
programing, costs to user concerns.
The Board took the first
step toward a new strategic
plan by performing an internal
assessment in 2016. In 2017,
an external assessment will be
performed, and in 2018, a new
strategic plan will be created.
The Board needs to review
and analyze these reports to
understand the library’s past
and present realities. I would
each month so everyone from
infants to seniors can find services
and programs of benefit
and enjoyment. In addition,
the Spring 2017 LINES
Newsletter & Program Guide
is 12 colorful pages long and
filled with a wide range of
interesting programs, activities,
enrichment and learning
opportunities. Some of these
programs are offered in multiple
languages. Please be sure
to check out what your library
presently offers.
With my lifelong love of
libraries (ever since I was a
small boy in Oak Park), I will
continue to ensure our Glenview
Public Library maintains
fiscal responsibility and
serves the needs of our diverse
community. We will continue
to do what we already do so
well, and incorporate technologies
and electronic resources
of the future. I have time, interest
and energy to dedicate
to the Glenview Public Library
so we will remain the
premier library we are.

I grew up in Glenview and
came back to raise my family
because I love this community.
I am passionate and
committed to ensuring the library
maintains its incredible
programming and facility and
remains the wonderful place I
experienced growing up and
my own family enjoys today. I
am smart, thoughtful and strategic.
I value open discussions
and sharing different ideas to
reach the best solution. I know
how to get things done, and I

I work well with others and

and teacher
Past government/relative
Goldstein
experience:
Member of the Glenview Library
Board of Trustees for
eight years; serving two years
as president.
What do you see as the
biggest issue facing the
Glenview Public Library and
how do you plan to approach
it?
Public libraries are primarily
funded by real-estate taxes.
Each year, the library board
and administrative staff create
a budget using sound fiscal
management practices.
Expenditures are reevaluated
and readjusted each year to
develop efficiencies in the delivery
of services and economies
of scale that will allow
the library to maximize the
effective use of tax dollars.
I will continue to support
operational efficiencies and
economies, but not drastic
reductions in library collections,
information technology,
building maintenance or
hours of service. I believe that
the board has the responsibility
to find additional revenue
sources and efficiencies that
enable the library to provide
the best possible resources,
services and programs while
being mindful of its fiscal responsibility
to the taxpayers.
Libraries are always thinking
about what’s new and
innovative in books, technology,
resources and programs.
Glenview residents of all ages
expect and deserve library
services that connect them to
the world of information and
ideas. The library staff does an
excellent job in selecting materials
that will best match the
needs of a diverse Glenview
community. Many residents

variety of resources available
from the library. I would like
the library to reach these future
library users. To achieve
this, I will support the library
staff needs as they continue
and expand services to every
member of the community.
What makes you a top
candidate for this position?
I have a bachelor’s degree
in education and master’s
degree in library science. I
taught preschool and kindergarten.
I worked as a librarian
at Northeastern Illinois University
and the Lake County
Regional Office of Education.
Eight years ago, I decided
to run for the library board
because I felt that my educational
background and library
experience would allow me
to contribute ideas to library
operations. Public libraries
must meet the challenge of
blending traditional services
with the newest technologies
and resources.
The biggest issue I see is finances.
Financial constraints
are not just an issue for the
Glenview Library, but for
many libraries in our region.
The Library is going through
a three-phase assessment process,
which will give me indepth
information that I can
use to help develop the Strategic
Plan in 2018.
What makes you a top
candidate for this position?
I have an in-depth knowledge
of the library’s Children’s
department, can read
and understand financial reports,
and have many years
of experience serving on
boards. I have an instilled
understanding of my role as
a board member. I am calm,
thorough, welcoming and
steadfast in my desire to see
the Glenview Public Library
continue to be the best it can
be.

rently our police are trained not to

that ”there may be unintended consequences
to putting a policy in place.”
Noting that federal law does not allow
them, Hinkamp said: “Part of my
oath as trustee is that I will follow all
the laws of the state and federal government,
so I’d feel a little bit funny
breaking that oath.”
He added that “I don’t want to put
our federal dollars in jeopardy.”
On the issue of mandated affordable
housing, Spalo said the Village
“does a good job” providing opportunities
and that “I don’t know if that’s
our place to provide that as a mandate.”
Hinkamp agreed, saying “I don’t

Library candidates discuss fiscal
responsibility, other topics [hed]
Seven candidates vying for five
seats on the Glenview Public Library
Board of Trustees squared off
in a generally collegial fashion at the
League of Women Voters forum, all
of them promising to operate the library
in a manner that is both fiscally
responsible and forward looking.
Seeking re-election are incumbent
Board of Trustees president Stella
Kalfas, as well as incumbents Jack
Neymark, Allan Ruter and Wendy
Goldstein. Also running are newcomers
Nick Bubnovich, Katherine Davis
Vega and Carol Schmitt.
In opening remarks, Bubnovich
said he would leverage his financial
background to help keep the library
“current and indispensable,” in part
by helping develop a long-term strategy
that addresses an increasingly
digital future. He said the library
needs an “overarching plan,” and
said the current strategic planning
process, which he called “vague,”
needs to be “concise and focused.”
Vega said she would bring a “fresh
perspective” to the Board and looks
forward to being a part of the strategic
planning process. She is senior
legal counsel at Accenture, where “I
analyze, strategize and advise on how
to reach good business outcomes.”
Newcomer Schmitt emphasized
her extensive history as a volunteer,
including membership on the
Glenview School District 34 School
Board and more than a dozen other
local organizations. She said she
also brings to the table “an in-depth
knowledge” of the library’s Children’s
Department.
Incumbent Kalfas, a former president
of the U.S. Women’s Chamber
of Commerce, said the board should
“continue to aim for a balance between
innovation and strong financial
management that does not financially
overburden homeowners.”
She noted that Glenview’s population
“is not static,” and that the library
must keep pace in part by providing
newer, technology-based offerings.
Goldstein said the library has
evolved into a “center of active learning
experiences” and that she would
support operational efficiencies, but
not drastic reductions in library collections,
information, technology,
building maintenance or hours of
service.
Ruter taught English, History and
American Studies at the Glenbrook
high schools for 33 years, won many
accolades from peers nationwide, and
chaired the Glenbrook South school
improvement team. He was appointed
to the Board in 2015 and chairs the
Strategic Planning Committee.
Neymark, who ran his own accounting
firm and has been active in
many local organizations, was instrumental
in planning the library’s new
building, completed in 2010.
“Financial responsibility is essential
for a successful library,” he said.
He called on the library “to lead with
technology advancements and opportunities
that extend the library beyond
the building itself.”
Candidates were asked to say what
non-finance issue was of most importance
to them. Kallas answered “sustainability.”
Bubnovich said the need
for a well thought-out strategic plan
that includes a means for the board
to assess its own performance. Neymark
also flagged the strategic plan
and Ruter also said it was important
for the board to measure its own performance.
Vega said she wants to see
the Board fund ways to make the library
more of a “community center.”
Goldstein said she wants to see the
library evolve from a “collector of
information to a generator of information.”
Schmitt said she wants an
emphasis on makerspaces.

Local dentists help woman face lifelong challenges
Hilary Anderson
Freelance Reporter
Kristyn Smith is the personification
of the “I Can”
person.
Smith, a Glenbrook
South High School alumna
and a life-long resident of
Glenview until recently,
likely has faced more challenges
in her short life than
most do in their entire lifetimes.
And yet, Smith takes
whatever life sends her
way and makes the most
of it.
“I want to live independently
by myself and do
the best I can,” Smith, 26,
said. “If I fall, I pick myself
up and start again.”
She means that literally
and figuratively. Smith has
no choice.
“Kristyn was born with
Arthrogryposis Multiplex
Congenita,” said Stephanie
Moretta, a family
friend and New Trier High
School teacher. “She spent
most of her early days in
casts to reconstruct her hip
and her feet. She also had
scoliosis and required back
surgery to fuse her spine.
Moretta added Smith
had seizures and still requires
numerous medications
daily.
Smith is hesitant to talk
about her challenges and
does not want pity but
describes matter-of-factly
what it means for her.
“This all started when
I was in my mother’s
womb,” Smith said. “I
wasn’t developing properly.
I was born with clubfeet,
too. The condition affects
my joints. My ankles
and hips don’t move properly.
My right hip does not
have a socket. I have had
multiple surgeries.”
Smith continued that as
a result, one leg is shorter
than the other requiring
her to wear shoes with a
type of lift in them.
“It sometimes takes
about a month for my
shoes to be adjusted and
fitted properly,” she said.
“I need full-arm crutches
to walk around but usually
use a manual wheel chair
at home and a motorized
one when I go out.”
If the physical challenges
were not difficult
enough, Smith also had
emotional ones thrown her
way at a very young age.
“My biological mother
died when I was 3 years
old,” she said. “I never
really knew her. Then my
biological father left. My
grandparents, Joanne and
Malvin Smith, adopted my
older brother, Matthew,
and me. They became our
mom and dad and we lived
with them in their Glenview
home.”
It was obvious Smith
loved her grandparents
deeply and they loved her.
“My grandfather was
a military man, in the
Navy,” she said. “He wrote
a book, ‘This is My Story
and I’m Sticking to It,’
about his life experiences
including those when he
was in Korea and Vietnam,
which I helped him edit.
He unfortunately never got
to see the finished copy. It
was published shortly after
he died in 2016. My grandmother
died in 2011.”
Smith insists upon being
independent despite her
physical challenges.
She went by herself on
an airplane to visit a cousin
in New Mexico following
her grandfather’s death.
Smith now lives independently
in her own
apartment.
“Every once in a while
I fall but just get myself
back up again,” she said.
“I do have a special feature
on one of my electronic
devices where I can call
for help if needed.”
Two of her aunts are
there to assist Smith if and
when help is needed.
“My Aunt Beth Friend
lives closer and helps me
with shopping, laundry
and some other things,”
she said. “Aunt ‘Mac’ Jane
McNamara, comes, too,
when I need her.”
Smith often can be seen
wheeling around in her
pink wheel chair with her
Aunt “Mac,” a Northbrook
resident and retired New
Trier teacher.
Smith now is able to
drive a car modified with
hand controls and a ramp.
“I learned how to drive
when I was 15 but had seizures
so I had to wait until
I was seizure-free,” Smith
said. “That didn’t happen
until I was 23 years old.”
Smith enjoys watching
movies on television and
Netflix. She is an encyclopedia
of information about
the films’ actors and the
people who made them.
“When I can, I drive
to an enclosed mall like
Woodfield, not to buy
anything but just to have
a place inside with lots
of room where I can ride
around in my wheel chair,”
she said. “Sometimes I’ll
even go see a movie but I
hibernate when the weather
is bad.”

Marie Murphy students participate in mock board meeting
Hilary Anderson
Freelance Reporter
Kenneth Dolin learned
more than he imagined
possible from a recent
school project.
The Marie Murphy
eighth-grader put in a
great deal of research,
time and work into preparing
for an event that
would give him insight
into how local government
operates.
Dolin was one of 11
Marie Murphy students
who participated in the
six-week program, sponsored
by the Wilmette
League of Women Voters
and the Student and
Government Leaders
program. It enabled the
students not to just study
first-hand the workings of
local government but also
to examine the issues facing
the community. They
then participated in a
mock public school board
meeting, held on Feb. 16
in the Wilmette Village
Hall Board Room. The
event was televised on local
cable station Wilmette
Community Television
(Channel 6).
Their topic, “Sell or
Renovate Avoca Center,”
was one the Avoca District
37 School Board discussed
last fall with the community
but reached no decision.
Students used some notes
and information from that
board meeting but had to
do additional research on
their own.
Students were mentored
throughout the program
by members of the School
Board, district administration
and staff.
Students Dorothy Adams,
of Northfield, and
William Lim began the
mock board meeting by
giving an overview of the
internal and external conditions
at Avoca Center

along with the size of the
facility. Photos enhanced
their comments.
Dolin followed. He partnered
with Brian Lee who
served as the school district’s
“business manager”
of the evening.
They gave the history of
the Center and discussed
enrollment trends, costs of
renovating various parts of
the building, heating and
snow removal costs.
The mock board meeting
then opened for discussion
among the other board
members in attendance.
Miguel Mekiel Saquibuddin
suggested board
members should first carefully
consider what might
be the advantages of renovating
the existing Avoca
Center structure.
There seemed to be
more interest in the effects
on the community of tearing
down or selling the
structure.
“What would the district
do if we sell the Avoca
Center and the enrollment
increases?” Isaac Thurston,
of Glenview, said.
“If the district sells the
Center, what will it do with
the money it receives?”
Aaron Larriosa, of Glenview,
said. “How will it affect
local taxes?”
Emma Taylor, of Winnetka,
served as president
of the mock board and
fielded questions.
Simone Salles, of Glenview,
raised the question
regarding whether the district
would sell the property
to only one developer.
“If it is sold to build
homes, how do we know
only 12 will be built on the
property?” she said.
The questions continued.
After the mock meeting,
the students gave their
thoughts on the program.
“I thought it was a great
learning experience,” Josephine
Yoshitani said. “I
feel more educated about
how things are done in my
school. Glad I took part in
it.”
Salles liked the way
members of the League
of Women Voters came to
their school and explained
how board meetings and
local governments work.
“We had the opportunity
to go to Wilmette Junior
High and actually meet
some of the people from
Wilmette’s Inter-Governmental
Relations,” Salles
said. “That was interesting.”
“I liked the discussion
about the issues concerning
whether it was good
to renovate or sell the Avoca
Center,” Taylor said.
“It was fun but made us
think.”
Nancy Stewart, Marie
Murphy teacher and sponsor
of the Student Government
program, stated that
the students came in with
very little knowledge of
how a local government
works and soon learned
how important those decision
are.
“The students did an
outstanding job,” she said.
“They took this project seriously
and learned more
than they ever anticipated.”
Parents agreed the students
did a good job.
“I liked the way the students
played the roles of
board members and stakeholders
rather than students,”
said Perron Thurston,
parent and former
Marie Murphy teacher. “I
hope it helps them learn
the value of civic engagement,
learning about the
issues and individuals’
platforms. I further hope
this program will encourage
them to vote when
they become 18 years old
and stay involved in their
communities.”
“This is a fantastic program
for students to become
engaged and passionate
about government
locally and beyond,” said
Gail Thomason, president
of the Wilmette League of
Women Voters.

Letters to the Editors
Vote ‘Yes’ on District 30
referendum in April
Residents of Northbrook/
Glenview School District
30 have not voted on a referendum
since 1975. The
time has now come for the
community to join together
and support funding to build
a new Maple School. The
current building has a long
list of serious issues, including
interior flooding, leaking
roofs and 37 outdated
rooftop HVAC units. Voting
‘Yes’ for the bond referendum
allows the building
of a new facility that not
only improves safety and
security, but also provides
space for programs such
as applied technology and
STEM. With a new building,
our high-performing
school can remain highperforming
with the facilities
and space needed to
innovate and learn. Voting
‘Yes’ also protects the community’s
property value by
maintaining a high-quality
school that attracts families
who are considering moving
into our district. If you
were new to the area and
touring Glenview schools
with your realtor, would you
be more drawn to Maple’s
run down building or Attea’s
up-to-date building for
your children’s education?
Now is the time to act. Voting
no will delay this process
and will cost more in
the future as construction
costs rise — never mind
the millions of dollars that
we will be throwing away
annually to patch major repairs.
Vote ‘Yes’ on April 4
for a wise investment into
your property value and
for furthering excellence of
education in District 30.

Adventures in Glenview
Goodbye
to charms
Denny Hebson
Contributing Columnist
Glenview resident
They are tearing down
the most charming
house in Glenview.
It’s on Pine Street, just
north of Glenview Road.
It looks like it should be
somewhere in the English
countryside with a pointed
roof and a lovely stone
arch around the entry. It’s
where Jane Austen would
live if she wanted to be
within walking distance of
the Dairy Bar.
Now the house is surrounded
by the Chain Link
Fence of Doom with a big
sign boasting of its imminent
destruction.
I get it. The house is
old. I’m sure the plumbing
pre-dates the Industrial
Revolution. The wiring
would probably give the
Glenview fire chief a rash.
Plus, it’s the last singlefamily
home on a street
full of townhouses. Some
lucky developer will knock
it down and build 10
homes instead of one.
Progress has no room
for charm.
I recently went to Paris
to help my daughter find
an apartment. I don’t think
they’ve torn a building
down in that city for more
than 300 years. The last
one to go was probably
burned down during the
French Revolution.
Naturally, it’s the most
beautiful city I’ve ever
seen. Even the sewer
grates are charming.
On the flip side, the average
apartment is the size
of an American bathroom
and the average bathroom
is the size of an American
phone booth and the average
phone booth ... well,
they don’t have phone
booths anymore either.
It’s a choice, I guess.
Parisians choose charm.
We choose great rooms.
And that’s fine. Although
I suppose it’s why Glenview
gets considerably
fewer tourists than Paris.
If we wanted to, we
could impose a moratorium
on tearing down
anything ourselves. Then,
in 300 years, maybe we’d
have people touring Mc-
Mansions and strolling the
famed covered walkway of
Carillon Square.
Instagram would be filled
with millions of selfies of
people in front of The Bear.
Poets around the world
would write odes to the
Bredemann Ford dealership.
Given enough time,
maybe anything can become
charming.
Meanwhile, I’m going
to walk over and take one
more look at that house on
Pine Street before its gone.
Have suggestions for a future

Resident supports D30
referendum
The residents of Northbrook/Glenview
School
District 30 are faced with
an important choice for the
community. On April 4 in
the upcoming consolidated
election, residents of District
30 will be asked if the
district should pursue the
funding for a new Maple
middle school and state
mandated health and life
safety improvements at the
district’s two elementary
schools.
These residents will have
the chance, by voting ‘Yes’
to make an enormous positive
community impact on
the students of today and
tomorrow. Voting ‘Yes’ on
this referendum will allow
for a new facility that will finally
match the high educational
standards that District
30 receives awards for and
keep it a highly desirable
school district to live in.
Today, Maple school is
plagued with a long list
of physical and structural
problems; a ‘No’ vote will
force the sinking of tens of
millions of dollars to simply
keep the crumbling patchwork
building afloat. These
‘Band-Aid’ patches would
not even address keeping
up with the educational and
curriculum changes that a
top-tier district requires.
Instead, a ‘Yes’ vote will
be a wise investment in the
facilities and in furthering
excellence of education in
District 30.
District 30 residents: Protect
your property values,
direct your future tax dollars
into a necessary new facility
and choose ‘Yes’ on the ballot
during early voting or on
April 4. Today’s and tomorrow’s
children will thank
you.
Joanna Kaplan
Northbrook resident
Vote ‘Yes’ on D30
referendum
If you live Northbrook/
Glenview School District
30, voting ‘Yes’ for the
bond referendum on April
4 to fund the construction
of a new Maple School (and
some modest life/health
safety improvements at
Wescott and Willowbrook
Schools) is, put simply, a
smart and much-needed investment
for our District 30
community. Maple School
is actually the oldest middle
school in all of Northbrook
and Glenview combined,
and the District 30 community
needs to take action
now to preserve the quality
of education, continue to attract
the best teachers and
further enhance home values
in District 30 that residents
have come to know
and expect.
Opponents may argue
that this is just another way
for government to tax us further.
I am always skeptical
of “big government” reaching
into our pocketbooks
without really knowing or
fully understanding how
that money is being spent by
the county, the state or the
federal government. This is
different. This is a local vote
for local funding for a local
need. This is how many of
us envision taxes should be
levied and paid — in ways
that are transparent and benefit
not only our home values
(everyone knows good
schools are synonymous
with higher home values)
but also as investment in
the educational future of our
community’s children.
If you investigate this
bond referendum further,
you’ll see the alternative
(i.e. people vote ‘No’) is
that District 30 will spend
a minimum of $15 million
toward glorified maintenance
projects at the current
Maple School. After
that, District 30 will still be
faced with additional capital
improvements for Maple
several years later. None of
this will improve the current
facility enough to enhance
the learning experience for
the students, and our district
will not see any property
value increases from simply
a “better maintained”
school versus a new school.
Vote ‘Yes’ on April 4 to finance
a new Maple School
if you are a District 30 resident!
Don’t stay home for
this historic district opportunity.

Trustee Jenny addresses
political claims
In the March 16 Lantern,
Village trustee candidate
Vince Spalo made several
statements in his profile that
as a sitting trustee, I believe
need to be corrected. Our
Board prides itself on using
data and fact-based analysis
in making the choices we are
elected to make. Regarding
“paying exorbitant bonuses
to the manager and department
heads,” Mr. Spalo has
made claims in his campaign
materials of “$1 million
over four years.” Mr.
Spalo’s math doesn’t add
up – the actual amount is
$352,400, or an average of
$88,175 per year for all bonuses
combined. Residents
can obtain this information
in the Transparency/Salary
& Benefits section of the
Village website. The bonus
amount is less than 7.5 percent
of salary and is based
on performance, rather than
“time in grade” as required
in the Village’s union contracts.
Our manager was not
tasked with running the
Village like a “Fortune 500
company,” but was tasked
with using taxpayer dollars
as efficiently as possible,
meaning analyzing and determining
the best and most
efficient way to deliver the
service levels that are expected.
Service levels have
not been “reduced across the
board.” When we contract
for services, we strive to get
the same service levels at a
lower cost or better service
at the same cost. Service

Recently, Glenview
resident Marilyn Sweeney
pitched a story about
the South Shore Drill
Team, an organization
that “uses the performing
arts to engage inner-city
youth throughout their
critical teenage years,
mitigates the dangers of
gangs, drugs and violence,
and guides members
towards completing
their education and
becoming responsible
citizens.” Apparently, the
organization marches in
Glenview’s Fourth of July
Parade each year. More
importantly, many North
Shore residents donate
their time and resources
to helping the kids.
Stories like this one
allow us to recognize the
efforts of our outstanding
citizens while shining a
light on pressing world
issues. It’s the best of both
worlds. But I can’t find
stories like that without

levels are not the same as
manpower, and Mr. Spalo
unfairly criticizes our excellent
Public Works staff who
perform many of these services
(such as downed tree
limbs, sewer grate obstructions).
Snow plowing complaints
have not increased
due to contracting, and
there is no correlation between
complaints and who
is doing the work. Mr. Spalo
has also suggested that the
Village use a “$5 million
surplus” to hire additional
staff. The Village does not
have any such surplus; this
is a planned annual transfer
from our primary revenue
fund into capital improvements
such as roads, bridges
and other infrastructure under
our jurisdiction.
As with all our first responders,
we appreciate and
respect Mr. Spalo’s dedication
and service, but he is
not the “only independent”
running for Village trustee.
All of us are independent
and have only the taxpayers
to answer to. Our residents
will need to determine for
themselves whether a Village
employee and local
union leader can be truly independent
for Village staffing,
budgeting and benefits
discussions. With respect,
his campaign statements to
date would suggest otherwise.
Mike Jenny
Glenview Village Trustee
Resident backs trustee
candidate
This week Glenview residents
will begin early voting
for the April 4 general election.
I attended the League
of Women Voters’ Candidate
Forum on Saturday,
March 18, and it was clear
to me that Glenview needs
an independent voice on the
Village Board of Trustees.
Of the four candidates,
three are running under
the Unite Glenview banner
and share a similar financial/business
background.
While business background
is no doubt beneficial, we
need a Board that is as
diverse as our great community.
Vince Spalo, a
Glenview paramedic and
firefighter, is running as
an independent. As a first
responder, Mr. Spalo truly
has a pulse on the community.
While he would not
be able to vote on measures
related to firefighter budgets
and pensions, we should
not miss the opportunity to
have someone on our Board
who is deeply rooted in the
concerns of citizens from
every corner of Glenview.
He also brings government
experience to the position,
having worked four years
with Cook County Commissioner
Peter Silvestri.
Having an independent
among our six trustees will
better allow the checks and
balances necessary to run
a successful Village. Mr.
Spalo is committed to backing
expenditures that will
improve our community for
years to come, including the

New police drama
filmed at Wagner Farm
Sarah Haider
Assistant Editor
Hollywood visited Wagner
Farm in November
when NBC’s newest show
“Chicago Justice” scouted
the location for filming.
The police drama, the
latest show from the creator
of “Law and Order,” chose
Glenview’s historic farm
as the home of a character
suspected in a murder case.
Its sixth episode, featuring
the location, premieres at 8
p.m. on Sunday, March 26.
When location scouts for
the series, still in its first season,
asked Farm Director
Todd Price to use the preserved
farm in the heart of
the North Shore, they also
requested that three farm
workers serve as extras in
the scenes. Price, his daughter
Cassidy (a senior at
Glenbrook South) and Assistant
Farm Manager Chris
Just took part in the shoot.
On the day of filming,
more than 75 members of
the show’s cast and crew
arrived in Glenview with
dozens of trailers and
trucks. They quickly set up
lights, boom cameras and
filming equipment for a full
day of shooting, involving
dozens of takes capturing
two scenes for the show.
“It’s sort of surprising
how much goes on behind
the scenes,” Todd Price
said. “The amount of equipment
and trucks; there were
trucks for catering, there
were trucks for the actors
to dress in, just the whole
production that goes with
it and just to see it was all
for only two scenes and we
don’t even know if it’s going
to make the episode.”
Glenbrook South senior Cassidy Price and Assistant
Farm Manager Chris Just prepare for their scene in
NBC’s “Chicago Justice” during a shoot in November
at Glenview’s Wagner Farm. PHOTO SUBMITTED
Todd Price and the Wagner
crew had a busy day, as
well. Not only were they
briefed on the inner workings
of the show and given
directions on hitting their
marks in the background,
they were also charged with
keeping the farm’s animals,
also featured in the filming,
happy and camera-ready.
Cassidy Price was cast
as a farmhand who brought
a wagon-full of produce
through the background of
the scene. She also served
as a wrangler.
Her lifetime of farm and
livestock experience were
all the skills she needed
for the her first time in the
spotlight.
“Neither one of us had
ever done anything like
this,” her father said. “It
was fun for Cassidy to get
to help out. She is a member
of the 4-H club and there
were a couple of scenes
that used livestock, so it
was kind of cool that she
got to work. She won’t get
credit for that, but she will
be credited as a wrangler.”
Although Just has been
around television shoots
while working in Chicago,
this was his first time in
front of the camera.
“I had a great time,” he
said. “It was a long day because
it was a lot of standing
around waiting for your
30 minutes of work for the
day. Even though I knew I
was way in the background,
I got a little nervous about it,
and I guess excited, because
it was something I had never
done before.”
The three won’t soon forget
the experience, according
to Price, and neither
will the farm.
The money Wagner
Farm earned from the shoot
will be used to buy feed for
the animals, and fund farm
operations and the farm’s
agricultural education programs.
“It was fun for us to get
to do, but they also paid
the site,” Price said. “When
you are talking about how
we get programs done
through fundraising and
this and that and pay for the
livestock, this was something
to help us do it. Our
mission is to talk about agriculture
and teaching, and
believe it or not, this is going
to help us do that.”

On the upland at the

magnificent water

On the talus climber
stumbles,
on small, dewy leaves of
grass.
To his eyes disclosed is
spa,
marvelous mountains,
falls and streams,
fabled landscape —
rare appearing frail flora.
Leafed trees and conifers,
crooked wood and little
flowers.
Raining often — scary
blizzards.
Slanted sidewalks among
ranges.
There the weather
quickly changes —
swiftly hunting are the
buzzards.

poster of the 2016 Chicago
Cubs and a Traeger Grill
valued at $800.

Lego Batman fights crime, pulls heartstrings
Kathy Clemens
Contributing Columnist
Glenview resident
Who’d have
thought that
movies about
interlocking plastic children’s
toys manufactured
by a company in Denmark
would be so witty
and so well made?
A juggernaut in the toy
industry, LEGOs were
initially constructed as
wooden toys in 1934.
The company was named
LEGO after the Danish
phrase “leg godt,” which
translates to “play well.”
The familiar plastic toys
followed suit in 1949, and
almost 70 years later, the
LEGO movie franchise
also is a blockbuster.
The success of the first
LEGO movie and the
breakout of the Batman
character effortlessly
transitioned into the current
Batman LEGO movie,
which will no doubt
be showing in theaters
for some time. Voiced by
Will Arnett, this Batman
examines the character’s
darkness, just like every
other Batman movie ever,
but also exposes all of the
variations — quite literally
all of them — by taking
shots at Christopher
Nolan’s series, the current
iteration of Ben Affleck,
the batmen of years past,
and even the campy series
from the ’60s that starred
Adam West.
Arnett’s Batman seems
to revel in his aloof loneliness
and, regardless of
butler Alfred’s admonishments
that no man is an
island, Batman’s house is
literally an island in the
middle of Gotham City.
Ralph Fiennes is perfect
as dry British Alfred, and
his deadpan reactions to
Master Bruce’s foibles
are spot on. Michael
Cera adds a nice dose of
sweetness to Robin, the
orphan that Bruce Wayne
somehow adopts without
realizing, and Rosario
Dawson rounds out the
main cast as Barbara
Gordon, the new commissioner
of the Gotham City
Police Department.
Zach Galifianakis plays
a gleefully needy Joker,
a villain who recognizes
that a good hero and his
evil nemesis have to have
a symbiotic relationship.
A list of cameos —
from Billy Dee Williams
as Two Face (who actually
played Two Face in
Tim Burton’s version,
very meta), Mariah Carey
as the mayor and Channing
Tatum as Superman
— makes sitting through
the credits to figure out
who is who absolutely
worth it. The writing is
snappy and clever, and
the throw-away bits tend
to be the funniest, such
as showing The Flash doing
the running man at a
dance party.
Additional LEGO movies
are in the works, and
why wouldn’t they be?
The characters and storylines
are endless, and the
toys sell like hotcakes.
Animated features can
be a risky proposition, as
they typically take years
to develop and require a
tremendous amount of
work between the actual
animation and the voiceovers
before they can be
released to recoup any
investment. The LEGO
movies are whip smart,
fast moving and very
aware of their audience.
Trying to deconstruct
the pathos of a brooding
hero and his mythology
in a film that’s aimed at
kids can prove tough.
However, everyone can
relate to the fear of losing
the people they love and
appreciate the testament
to the power of friendship
and family.
But everything is awesome
when you throw in
some great animation, the
thrill of saving the world
and a parade of quintessential
superheroes with
super villains.
As the tagline says:
“Always be yourself,
unless you can be LEGO
Batman!”

STAFF REPORT
Chicagoland may have
gotten hit last week with
last-minute winter weather
following an unseasonable
snow drought, but believe
it or not, this past Monday
was the official first day of
spring.
As the mercury slowly
begins creeping its way up
and outdoor temperatures
become more comfortable
for long neighborhood
walks and sunnier days,
spring also comes with
many other positive benefits,
including holidays
and fresh, seasonal food
specialties.
Whether celebrating
Easter or Passover, savoring
the tastes of peak season
fruits and vegetables
or just trying to “spring
clean” your diet, there are
plenty of restaurants in the
North Shore ready to welcome
you with open arms
and delicious menu items
to put a healthy and happy
spring in your step.
Chipotle black bean burger
— The Curragh Irish Pub,
Glenview
Spring is in the air, and
spring vegetables are in
the ground.
While The Curragh offers
plenty of hearty winter
dishes — from Irish stews
to Guinness cheese soup
— its menu also boasts
several light options for
the warmer months.
But let’s skip the soups
and salads. If you order
anything other than the
chipotle black bean burger
($11), you’re doing it
wrong. The homemade
sandwich comes with quinoa,
black beans, corn,
peppers, spices, roasted
red pepper, aioli, Chihuahua
cheese, tomato and
lettuce on an onion bun.
Before I took my first
bite, Assistant Editor Sarah
Haider said it’s her favorite
“veggie” burger in
town. And I couldn’t agree
more. The blend of spices
make this an ideal Friday
dish for anyone observing
Lent, but I’d suggest the
dish Saturday-Thursday as
well. Add a plate of French
fries, which come at no additional
cost, and you’ve
got yourself a meal.
The Curragh, located at
1800 Tower Drive, is open
11-1 a.m. on Monday-Friday,
11-2 a.m. on Saturday,
and 10-1 a.m. on Sunday.

THE WILMETTE BEACON
Risotto allo champagne e
fragole — Convito Cafe &
Market, Wilmette
It was a trip to Italy that
inspired a popular spring
dish at Wilmette’s Convito
Cafe & Market.
“We found it at a restaurant
in Sardinia that featured
seasonal ingredients
cooked in an imaginative
way,” said Candace Warner,
owner of Convito, of
risotto allo champagne e
fragole. “My partner and
mother (Nancy Brussat)
has a blog (https://nancybrussat.wordpress.com)
on her Italian journeys and
this was in it.”
Risotto allo champagne
e fragole ($14) is a rich,
creamy dish which not
only includes the classic
risotto ingredients but
strawberries, champagne,
basil, cream and Parmesan.
“It’s somewhat of a nouvelle
cuisine type dish,”
Warner said. “It’s somewhat
sweet, but the addition
of Parmesan neutralizes
the sugar of the fruit and
adds a savory component.”

Veggie quesadilla — Once
Upon A Bagel, Winnetka
Situated in a quaint corner
of Winnetka’s Hubbard
Woods Business District,
Once Upon A Bagel is the
perfect one-stop eatery for
busy families constantly
on the go between spring
sports, theater practices or
last-minute pickups for a
Friday night dinner.
From breakfast options
like omelets and French
toast to hot dogs and Mexican
fare, One Upon A Bagel
is sure to cater to the
variety of taste buds out
there.
And this spring, for
those either abstaining
from meat on Fridays during
Lent or vegetarians
looking for a filling southof-the-border
option, the
restaurant’s veggie quesadilla
offers a nice springtime
meal option.
At $9.95, the veggie
quesadilla plate comes
with four large triangle
quesadilla slices filled
with cheese, spinach, onion,
mushroom and tomato
served either on a flour or
homemade corn tortilla.
On the side, expect thee
small heaps of sour cream
and pico de gallo.

Coach Talk
South’s young coach takes
the road less traveled
Jon ‘Coach’ Cohn
Contributing Columnist
Glenview Resident
Teachers and educators,
please don’t be
offended, but I have
always advocated and
lived by the credo that you
never let school get in the
way of your education.
That’s not a knock on
school, of course. I’m
simply advocating the
many benefits kids get
when they’re involved
in outside activates, such
as jobs, clubs, organizations
and sports teams.
Often they learn as much
through those experiences
as they do from any classroom
activity.
During my coaching
career, I always tried to
incorporate that as part of
my philosophy.
Another coach who
has done the same is
Glenbrook South’s young
boys lacrosse coach Will
Jeffery. He embraces that
philosophy fully. In fact,
he doesn’t just embrace
it — he takes hold of it,
grabs it, wraps it, rips it
and then squeezes every
ounce of teaching juice he
can get out of it.
Jeffery, a GBS grad, is
just two years on the job.
The ex-South lacrosse
star and UMass collegiate
player had the advantage
of being familiar with the
Titan program when he
took over. And, with his
extensive experience in lacrosse,
he had the knowledge
to coach the sport.
But, during his first year
as head coach, Jeffery
quickly realized those
were not enough.
So he took a different
approach. Much different.
Most new coaches come
in and immediately start
with something like an
increased weight-training
program or extensive
offseason workouts, wanting
their players to get as
much court or field time
as possible.
Not Jeffery. This young
coach is very comfortable
taking the road less
travelled.
“I quickly realized that
success for us wasn’t
going to be about Xs and
Os,” Jeffery said. “We had
to change the culture of
the program. We had to
create a completely different
mindset.”
Step one for the young
coach?
“We gathered the guys
together and did a service
project,” he continued. “I
asked our athletic director,
Mr. Rockrohr, for a
school bus and we loaded
the guys and went down
to the city and got them
involved with the OWLS
project.”
OWLS is an outreach
program in the inner city
that teaches kids the game
of lacrosse.
That was just the start.
Like a team on a hot
streak, once they got
rolling they kept on going.
Trips to places like
Cornerstone Community
Outreach (a homeless
shelter in Chicago) and
Feed My Starving Children
followed, as well as
involvement in the Letters
to Santa program and
GBS Canned Food Drive.
Much of this was before
any of his new players
had even stepped on the
lacrosse field.
But he wasn’t satisfied
with just the service
projects.
Once again, Jeffery
went many steps further.
“We had a lot of discussions,
roundtables [and]
talk sessions just discussing
how lucky we are here at
GBS and appreciating all
the things that we have,”
he said. “Our big emphasis
was on humility, making
sure the players believed
in lifting everyone else up
and holding each other accountable.
Understanding
they are capable of being
vulnerable.”
That includes some subjects
that coaches might
ordinarily stay away from.
But Jeffery sold the
program with unabashed
enthusiasm. The kids
bought into their new
coach’s emphasis and the
parents loved it as well.
The culture change is
not complete yet, but Jeffery
in his short time has
made huge gains.
Here is one writer’s
guess: If things continue
to go well for the coach
and his team, that road less
travelled may have a little
more traffic in the future.
Cohn has a new book published
called “Stuff People
Might Want To Know,” available
at Amazon.com or any
local bookstores. He can be
reached at jcsportsandtees@

remaining in the period.
Glenbrook continued to
add to its lead, well Jensen
and Schneider specifically.
Both players scored
hat tricks and each added
goals in the second period
as their squad extended
the lead to 4-0 before Tess
Dettling knocked in a goal
to bring the Ramblers to
within 4-1 heading into the
third period.
“We tried to stay to our
plan that’s made us successful
all year, protect the
fort,” Hamelin said. “I felt
like we could have done
a better job protecting the
fort, trying to move the
puck through the neutral
zone, get pucks deep, win
the foot battles. We knew
they (Loyola) were going
to come out tough in
the third period and if you
make a mistake, they’re
going to make you pay.”
Whatever momentum
the Ramblers had hoped
to maintain after the second
period intermission
vanished when Chloe Carroll
scored her 11th goal
of the season with 9:22
remaining to give Glenbrook
a 5-1 lead and essentially
close the door on
any comeback Loyola had
hoped to attempt.

scored the first of her two
goals with 7:04 remaining.
Caldwell took a Glenbrook

goal easily.

10 Questions
with Jordan Theriault
Theriault, a junior at
Glenbrook South, runs
track and cross-country.
This year he hopes to beat
the school record by running
a 4.22 mile.
When did you start
running track?
I started doing track
in sixth grade, but I’ve
probably been running
since I was 5 or 6 in local
races.
What do you like
most about track?
I like how there’s
no dispute in who the
winner is. You just look
at the times ... and that
is the defining line. Also,
the primal nature of
running.
What is something
most people don’t
know about the
sport?
The sport is more individual-based,
but the team
points do come into play,
especially for the conference
title. Every event
matters. The team that has
the most wins takes the
conference title.
What is the best
advice you’ve ever
received about the
sport?
If you start the race
and in the middle you
just want it to be over
and want to finish the
race faster, then just run
faster.
What’s your favorite
track moment?
It was at sophomore
conference at GBS, so we
were running in front of
a crowd. Me and another
teammate were battling it
out in the home stretch,
going neck and neck,
and it was a lot of fun. I
leaned him at the end, but
either way we still both
got All-Conference. It
was a blast.
Do you have any
pre-race rituals or
superstitions?
I like to go sit in silence
and take a moment to
calm down. It’s my way of
focusing on what I need to
run. Visualizing the race
helps a lot. I also do everything
in specific order,
spiking up in the same
way and always wearing a
headband.
Who is a hero of
yours?
My mom. She was a
single mom and has done
a great job of raising us.
She is someone I want
to be like when I grow
up — honest and down
to earth. I think a lot of
my competitive nature
comes from her and
she understands what I
need to do to perform at
the highest level I can,
whether in school or on
the track.
What is one item on
your bucket list?
I would like to visit Guatemala.
I was born there
PHOTO SUBMITTED
and I haven’t been back
since then. Going back and
seeing all of the temples
and stuff would be a pretty
unique experience.
How do you stay
active in the
offseason?
I rest up for two to three
weeks after the season is
over. After that, I just go
out there and [start] chipping
away at the miles.
Twenty miles a week is
the minimum during the
offseason.
If you were a
superhero, what
power would you
want?
The power to detect if
people are telling the truth
or not because that is a big
pet peeve of mine. If I was
a superhero, I would be
able to weed out the liars.

Girls lacrosse
Continuity key to Loyola’s success
Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
The Loyola girls lacrosse
team is year in and
year out one of the most
successful and consistent
teams in high school
sports. The Ramblers have
won the last eight Illinois
High School Women’s Lacrosse
Association state
titles, have played in all 15
state title games and won
11.
No matter what the turnover
might be from the
previous year, fans can always
expect Loyola to be
at, or near, the top.
But how do the Ramblers
continue to do it?
“No. 1, it’s we have
phenomenal continuity
in our coaching staff
and that helps us a lot so
we know what each other
is thinking, what each

Ramblers with 96 goals and 80 assists last season. 22nd

other’s strengths are and
where each coach can help
various phases of our program,”
Loyola coach John
Dwyer said. “For me, I approach
lacrosse as a learning
experience and I try to
learn something new every
year and we try to do a lot
of things differently, so we
have a different approach
to things.
“The other thing, the
main ingredient of our
continued success, other
than the coaching, is the
leadership of our seniors.
Great group of kids every
year and they learn from
the kids ahead of them and
they take the lead and do
a lot of the work that otherwise
might fall to the
coaches.”
On Nov. 9, eight seniors
signed to play Division I
lacrosse and another, Brennan
O’Malley, has committed
to play at Villanova
University. Those who
signed earlier this school
year were: Grace Clark
(Butler), Mary Dooley
(Marquette), Brennan Dwyer
(Northwestern), Katie
Enrietto (Notre Dame),
Colleen Huffman (Yale),
Madison Kane (Marquette),
Delaney Oliveira
(American) and Caroline
Witkowski (Michigan).
“Each senior class is
special,” the coach added.
“This one, I’ve had a little
more exposure to when
they started in sixth or
seventh grade because my
daughter is in the group.
I usually don’t do anything
else coaching-wise
other than Loyola in the
spring, but there were a
couple years where a couple
weeknights or weekends,
I would be coaching
this youth team that they
played on.
“That whole group, pretty
much all our seniors,
played on that team since
seventh grade so I’ve seen
them evolve from picking
up the ball and catching it
to where pretty much all of
them are Division I players,
so the transformation
for that group has really
been phenomenal and by
them it’s self-motivated.
It’s gratifying to see.”
Dwyer led last year’s
squad with 96 goals and 80
assists, while Huffman finished
second with 48 goals.
With 12 seniors from last
year’s squad graduated,
LA will be looking for a
number of newcomers to
step into prominent roles.
“There are a lot of kids
we like but we’ve seen in
our sophomore class, Anna
Gordon, Maggie Gorman,
Lizzie Walker,” the
coach added. “We’ve got
some freshmen we really
like too. Sophia Rucker
is someone we think will
make an impact. Annabelle
Burke, Kelsey Koch
will be freshmen that will
make an impact.”
Every year the Ramblers
play one of the state’s most
challenging schedules,
which always includes a
trip to the East Coast for
matchups with some of the
country’s top teams. This
year’s schedule is no different
and includes another
out-of-state trip, to an invite
in Colorado. LA won’t
play a home game from
March 31-April 26, as
they travel to Virginia and
Colorado. LA will play 15
out-of-state opponents this
year, including eight state
champions.

Loyola looks for quick start despite small roster
Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
As Loyola Academy enters
its fourth season under
head coach Michelle Farrell-Fink,
the 2017 Ramblers
have something that
teams in the past didn’t.
“This year, we have
13 competitors,” Farrell-
Fink said. “I don’t think
we have anyone out there
that isn’t fighting for a
spot, that isn’t giving 100
percent. We have 13 kids
who are competitors and
want to go far. This year’s
seniors want to go out
with a bang. They’re going
to give it everything.
This year I think we have
a team that wants to go far,
not just one person who
wants to make it.”
This year’s squad has
only 13 girls but brings
back a lot of experience
from last season. Eight
players return from 2016,
including four seniors.
One area which will
look different for the
Ramblers is the group in
the pitching circle. A year
after having Mia Cirignani
pitch in every game,
the Ramblers will go with
more of a pitching rotation
featuring senior Kylie
Sanders, junior Alexis Rocha
and sophomore Kathryn
Kinsella.
“Kathryn has a nice spin
and hits her spots really
well,” the Loyola coach
said. “Kylie and Alexis
are our fastest pitchers so
it will be nice to throw
Kathryn between them and
throw teams off.”
While the majority of
the squad returns from
last season, the Ramblers
bring in a talented crop
of newcomers, including
two freshmen and a
sophomore, Olivia Rempe,
whom Farrell-Fink
brought up to varsity at the
end of last season. Third
base and center field are
two spots that are open and
the freshmen will be competing
for those spots.
“Marisa (Michi) and Riley
(Bendery) are going to
be key for our lineup this
year,” the Loyola coach
said. “Riley plays outfield
and I can see her stepping
up and starting. Same with
Marisa, she plays either
middle infield or third.
We’re excited because
third base and center field
are open for us right now.”
According to the coach,
one thing missing from last
year’s squad was speed on
the bases, but this year’s
team will feature plenty of
it, especially the two freshmen.
Farrell-Fink singled
out two other newcomers,
Rempe and Jillian Sopko,
as players who will provide
speed on the bases.
Despite the added element
to this year’s squad,
the team will still look to
spray the ball to all parts of
the field.
“One of our top hitters
was Avery Yalowitz, who
has power but is also smart
on the bases and is someone
who can lay it down,”
Farrell-Fink said. “Nora
Conway from the left side,
she can lay it down but has
some power too. Our two
freshmen, Marisa and Riley,
can be sneaky at the
plate. Last year, we had
Alexis (Rocha) DP (designated
player) a lot but
she’s coming back and
gotten a lot stronger so
we’ll be looking for some
home runs from her. Kylie
came around last season,
she was hitting shots left
and right and she’s looking
to have a good season.”
The Ramblers have lost
in the regional round in
each of the last four years.
To advance, Farrell-Fink
says they’re going to have
to rely on their defense
to back up their pitchers,
because the team doesn’t
have one pitcher who will
strike out 14 or 15 hitters
in a game.
The Ramblers begin
their season hosting Taft
at 4:45 p.m. Friday, March
17, at Loyola’s Munz campus
in Glenview.

Boys Water Polo
Defense key for young Titans
Chris Pullam, Editor
2017 represents the 17th
season of boys water polo
at Glenbrook South. But
it’s also Dave Lieberman’s
17th season as head coach.
Over nearly two decades,
the program has
found quite a bit of success.
In 2008, the Titans
finished third in the state
with a 31-2 record, losing
to the eventual state runner-up,
Naperville Central,
once in the regular season
and again in the semifinals.
Last season, they finished
27-6 with an 8-7
loss to New Trier in the
sectional finals. Ironically,
the Trevians eventually
finished third in the state
after losing to the runnerup,
Stevenson, 13-12.
The season-ending loss
left a bad taste in Lieberman’s
mouth.
“I felt a bit uneasy,” he
said. “I felt like we left a
lot on the table. ... It felt
like, watching New Trier
in the state tournament,
like that should be us. It
kind of felt like we messed
a chance to get another trophy.”
Although GBS lost to
NT three times last year,
the Titans showed improvement
every game.
The Trevians won the first
match [15-3] and the second
match [15-7] before
the one-point loss in the
sectional finals.
“Our guys got a lot
more comfortable and a lot
more confident as the season
went on,” Lieberman
said. “That first time, we
just weren’t ready to play.
And after spring break we
didn’t show up. It was bad.
It was really bad and ugly.”
South’s top three offensive
and defensive performers
from last year —

steal against New Trier last year. 22nd Century Media
File Photo
Brian Johnson, Peter Dales
and Tommy Hagerty — all
graduated in May. Only
three starters — seniors
Jack Wells and Tucker
Nienhaus and junior Brendan
Chang — return this
season.
“Jack is a solid defensive
players and he’s really
confident at his end of
the pool,” the coach said.
“He’s really fast, a sprinter,
who’s a lockdown defender.
The other two are
more offensive players. ...
Brendan is solid all around
on the outside but is growing
into some other roles.
Rucker is small, but so am
I. He works really hard and
uses his size to his advantage
to put himself in position
to score goals.”
According to Lieberman,
Chang has played
significant minutes since
his freshman year. Last
season, he finished as the
team’s second leading
scorer.
The rest of the roster
will consist of seniors, juniors
and sophomore new
to the starting lineup.
The Titans relied heavily
on their defense and swimming
strength last season,
and Lieberman expects to
utilize the same strategy in
2017.
“I always fall back on
defense,” he said. “That’s
where it starts. We’re really
going to concentrate
on that as the season progresses.
We’ve got to start
with our goalies and work
it out from there. If we
control the other team and
get them to do what we
want, like take bad shots
from bad angles, then we
will be successful. That
needs to be our identity.
In high school water polo,
we’re going to score. But
if we eliminate a few goals
from the other team, we’re
going to come out on top.”

Boehmer, Kuhn lead Titans in 2017
Chris Pullam, Editor
$16 FOR 4 ISSUES
Glenbrook South’s roster
includes several new
faces this season, but firstyear
head coach Dana
Boehmer heads the list.
New to the job doesn’t
necessarily mean new to
the program, however.
Boehmer enters her inaugural
season after serving
two years as the JV head
coach and another three as
a GBS varsity assistant.
The experience should
help as the Titans attempt
to rebound from a 10-16
season that ended with a
7-1 loss to Zion-Benton in
the regional semifinals.
But South will face an
uphill battle after losing
six seniors to graduation
last May.
Senior Carolyn Kuhn,
who already committed to
play at Indiana University
next season, will help ease
the burden.
“Last year was kind of
emotional for the team, not
only getting knocked out
of the state tournament,
but also saying goodbye
to coach Kay Sopocy
who had been there for
so long,” Kuhn said. “She
was just a great person to
be around and she really
helped the team dynamic
a lot. ... But I’m really excited
to see what is in store
for this season with coach
Boehmer and the new
staff.
“She’s a great coach and
she’s very knowledgeable
about the game. She’ll put
a lot of new strategies in
place.”
Kuhn opted to play
high-school lacrosse and
club softball during her
freshman year, but immediately
saw varsity action
after joining South’s program
as a sophomore.
Carolyn Kuhn throws to first base during a game last
season. 22nd Century Media File Photo
She hopes for better
results during her senior
campaign.
“There were a lot of
games last year that were
pretty close,” Kuhn said.
“We had a lot of trouble
finishing games. High
school is a lot different
than club because there are
time limits in a lot of the
club tournaments. In high
school, we need to adjust
to playing seven-inning
games. We have a big focus
this year on finishing
games and going into the
seventh inning with the
same intensity we started
with.”
Kuhn, a left-hander, typically
anchors the outfield
at center.
Including Kuhn, South’s
roster features only four
seniors.
“This season, those seniors
will have to be really
big leaders, especially with
a young team and young
players,” Boehmer said.
“But I think we’re going
to be competitive this year
in every game we play.
Adding two strong pitchers
— [sophomore] Sophie
Stark and [senior] Brianna
DeFrank — will help take
us further this year. ... I’m
trying to instill a strong,

positive mental attitude
going into every game.
We’re going to stay loud,
stay energetic and make
sure we’re having fun.”
“To have success, it’s
really important that we
keep a positive attitude,”
Kuhn added. “There are
a lot of things that could
be thrown our way, but
we need to control what
we can control and pick
ourselves up as a team.
But we also have to keep
our competitive edge and
our drive through the season.
We have to want it. ...
There’s no one specific to
lean on. It will be a group
effort, and our team is capable
of holding each other
accountable.”

Glenbrook overpowers Loyola for state title
Michael Wojtychiw
Sports Editor
For the first three years
of her high school career,
Caitlin Schneider played
for the Chicago Young
Americans, a AAA club
team based out of Lincolnwood.
But conversations with
her best friend, Allie Karakosta,
over the summer,
persuaded her to come out
for the Glenbrook hockey
team and play her senior
season with her classmates.
“My best friend, Allie,
who is on this team was
like ‘you have to play, you
have to play. Just come out
here and try it, it’s so much
fun,’” Schneider said.
“And I just went out there
and tried it and I’ve loved
it since the beginning.
“It was a good way for
me to connect with people
from my area that play
hockey and my school and
I really only played club
and that’s kind of really
separate from high school
for me, and this is great
because I got to meet a lot
of new people and get a
whole new experience.”
And is Glenbrook, a
team made up of students
from Glenbrook North,
Glenbrook South and Regina,
ever happy as she
did.
The Wisconsin-bound
senior scored three goals
and had two assists as her
team won its first state title
by defeating Loyola 7-3

“It’s amazing, probably
one of the best things I’ve
experienced,” Glenbrook’s
Hannah Jensen said. “The
nerves are so much once
you get out there, but once
the puck drops, it’s game
time and you know what
you gotta do.”
Schneider even gained
high praise from the
Loyola coach, Mike Glass.
“Schneider, I had the
pleasure of catching her
for four years with CYA
and of all the girls in Illinois,
I always thought she
was the best one because
of her pure speed and her
responsibility,” Glass said.
“She plays both sides of
the puck so well. It’s not
only the scoring but a twoway
player, she’s always
been, in my opinion, ‘the
one,’ the best player in Illinois.
Yeah, there are kids
who do some things better
but when you put the skills
together with the defensive
responsibility mindset,
that’s what sets her apart.”
The Ramblers’ goal was
to get off to a quick start,
hoping to score an early
goal or two to rattle Glenbrook’s
goalie Jojo Chobak,
but the first period
proved to be the opposite,
as Hannah Jensen scored
the first of her three goals
at the 7: 24 mark off an assist
from Madison Itagaki.
“I think it’s her ground
game,” Glenbrook coach
Steve Hamelin said. “I remember
seeing her in the
first game against Loyola
this year. ... Her positioning,
when she is down,
how she can stay square,
her lateral movement is
incredible so when she’s
on, we have a lot of confidence
back there.”
Schneider added to the
Glenbrook lead when she
knocked in a rebound off
Loyola goaltender Tianna
Lavalle’s pad, giving her
team a 2-0 lead with 2:06

Boys Track and Field
Titans won’t slow down in 2017

STARS OF THE WEEK
1. Caitlin Schneider
(above). The
Glenbrook South
senior hockey
player scored three
goals and tallied
two assists in the
Glenbrook’s 7-3
state championship
win against Loyola
on Friday, March
17, at the United
Center.
2. Valerie Caldwell.
The Loyola hockey
player scored
two goals for the
Ramblers during
the championship.
3. Chloe Carroll. The
Glenbrook hockey
player scored her
11th goal of the
season with 9:22
remaining in the
championship game
against Loyola.
Glenbrook South, which finished
third in the CSL South and
10th at the Loyola sectional in
2016, lost all six of its All-Conference
runners to graduation last
May. But don’t expect the Titans
to slow down in 2017.
The team won the Fenton Invite
on Feb. 25 for the 11th straight
year after taking the top spot in
seven of 17 events, including pole
vault (Jack Kelly), triple jump
(Ben Hides), shot put (Paul Jo),
high jump (Sam Cowhey), 50-yard
intermediate hurdles (Max Gerber),
2-mile run (Matt Jortberg)
and 2-mile relay (Matt Runtz,
Charlie Schultz, Will Houser and
Justin Naal).
“In track and field, all coaches
live by the stopwatch, tape measure
and personal bests,” coach
Kurt Hasenstein said. “It’s a
very measurable sport, where
each day you’re able to measure
yourself against yourself You’re
not timing yourself every day,
but the kids log a lot of workout
times that give them confidence
for later. Whether a kid is a statequalifier,
competing to make the
conference lineup or just trying
out for the sport, they have their
own personal improvement to
work on. ... We just make sure
the kids are enjoying the process
and getting feedback every
week.”
Unfortunately, the Titans will
also compete without last season’s
CSL South champions and
runners-up in pole vault — Bobby
Wos and Kevin Halloran — and

high jump — Tim Nowak and
Gavin Cernek.
“You just take each year as you
go,” the coach said. “Over my 26
years of coaching, you learn that
kids move on and other kids fill
in. You never have any idea how
much a kid will grow and prosper
throughout his career, or even
his season. I don’t ever panic too
much because a lot happens in a
year.”
Senior Jack Whetstone, a distance
runner who also competes on
South’s cross-country team, knows
a thing or two about growth.
“Track is very cut and dry,” he
said. “[Having room for growth]
is one of the beautiful things with
track because you can always run
harder and train harder and then
run faster. Personally, I know I’ve
put in a lot of miles and heavy
work that I didn’t necessarily put
in [before] previous seasons, and
it’s showing this season.”
The Emory University commit
said he was “a little bitter” at the
end of last season but expects last
year’s shortcoming to “motivate a
lot of the guys this season.”
“You have to trust the process,”
he added. “A lot of guys are disappointed
[so far] that they aren’t
running as fast as possible, but it’s
a five-month season and at the end
they’ll be running much faster. We
just need to trust our coaches and
their knowledge of the sport.”
The Titans in 2017 are led by
five senior captains — distance
runners Whetstone and Matt
Runtz, sprinters Clayton Nelson
and Mike Hampton, and pole
vaulter Jack Kelly.

“I don’t think we have anyone out there that isn’t
fighting for a spot, that isn’t giving 100 percent.”
