Students draw parallels between musical and refugee crisis 

Libby Elliott 

Freelance Reporter 

Act One of the prominent 

1964 Broadway show “Fiddler 

On the Roof” opens with the 

big musical number “Tradition,” 

a rousing show-stopper 

that sets the stage for the humor 

and drama that unfolds, 

as Tevye, a devoutly Jewish 

milkman living with his wife 

and five daughters in 1905 Imperial 

Russia, struggles to hold 

on to his religious customs and 

family values as the changing 

world threatens to break them 

apart. 

The storyline of “Fiddler on 

the Roof” and its score of popular 

songs was likely familiar to 

many in the audience when the 

curtain rose at Watson Auditorium 

on April 26 for Glenbrook 

North and Glenbrook South’s 

spring co-production of the 

classic American musical. But 

what may have felt distinctly 

different was the innovative 

staging of the show, featuring a 

twist at the end. It was a break 

with tradition that director John 

Knight hoped would play well 

with the audience. 

“ ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ was 

written more than 50 years 

ago, but it addresses a refugee 

crisis, which is, unfortunately, 

still very relevant today,” said 

Knight, referring to the exodus 

of refugees currently fleeing 

Syria. 

Members of the spring musical 

production partnered with 

the Glenbrooks’ local chapter 

of STAND, a student-led movement 

to end mass atrocities, 

which erected an educational 

display outside Watson Auditorium 

that remained during the 

play’s four-day run. In addition 

to posting information about the 

plight of refugees from the Russian 

Pogrom of 1905 up to the 

present day, STAND constructed 

a replica of a refugee village. 

“Our audience [was] confronted 

with images and information 

as they entered and exited 

the auditorium,” Knight said. 

Additionally, just before curtain 

fall, when Tevye and his 

family flee after the Russian czar 

issues an edict evicting the Jews 

from their village, Glenbrook 

theatergoers were confronted, 

once again, with the stark moving 

images of modern-day Syrian 

families being forced from 

their homeland. 

“I hope people consider this 

footage a starting point for discussion,” 

Knight said. “The parallels 

are so resonant when you 

see these same scenes play out 

in the news now.” 

The 2017 spring musical involved 

96 cast members, 40 instrumentalists 

and a 30-person 

stage crew — all a mixture of 

GBS and GBN students — making 

it challenging to get all the 

participants in the same place at 

the same time. Approximately 

half of the play’s leading characters 

were double cast. 

GBS freshman Gwyn Skiles 

made her high-school theater 

debut as Tevye’s eldest daughter, 

Tzeitel, best known for the 

song “Matchmaker, Matchmaker,” 

where she bemoans 

her family’s cultural tradition 

of arranged marriage. Skiles, 

who plans to pursue acting 

professionally, supported the 

decision to open the production 

to a broader discussion 

of the modern-day refugee 

crisis. 

“These images are a reminder 

that there are people — just like 

the ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ characters 

we all fall in love with 

— dealing with these issues all 

over the world,” Skiles said. 

Carly Meyer, a GBN freshman, 

played Tevye’s daughter 

Hodel, who bids her papa a 

steely farewell with the song 

“Far From the Home I Love.” 

Meyer already works as a professional 

actress at the Writers 

Theatre in Glencoe, but “Fiddler 

on the Roof” was her first 

full combined musical as a 

high-school student.

MacQuarri plays her sister Hodel in one of the casts. Photos by Lynn Trautmann/22nd Century Media 

While the cast prepared 

for opening night with a final 

dress rehearsal on April 24, energy 

levels were high as actors 

milled backstage in costume 

and singers warmed up their vocal 

chords. 

“There are so many great 

songs from ‘Fiddler on the 

Roof’ that are part of the national 

zeitgeist,” Knight said. 

“Our ultimate goal with this 

show is to entertain the community 

and educate students about 

history.” 

D225’s “Fiddler on the Roof” 

production opened April 26 and 

ran through April 29.

Police Reports 

Florida men throw stolen shirts worth $1,300 out car window 

Gerald Espinoza-Munoz, 22, 

and Luis Brito-Rosado, 29, both 

of Miami, were charged with 

retail theft at 5 p.m. April 20 at 

Saks Off Fifth in the 100 block 

of Skokie Highway. 

Police were contacted by a 

loss prevention agent at the store 

after the pair were reportedly 

observed stealing seven shirts, 

valued at $1,319, from the 

store. One of the men allegedly 

removed the shirts from the rack 

and placed them into a bag while 

the other was holding the bag 

open. 

Espinoza-Munoz and Brito- 

Rosada were then seen entering 

a red van displaying out-of-state 

license plates and leaving westbound 

on Lake Cook Road. 

When an officer who responded 

to the store’s call attempted to 

pull the vehicle over, one of the 

passengers threw the bag containing 

the stolen shirts out of 

the car. 

Police arrested the two people. 

Espinoza-Munoz, the driver of 

the car, was also charged with 

driving without a driver’s license 

and having no proof of insurance.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The Northbrook 

Tower’s Police Reports are

Department headquarters in Northbrook.

Northbrook residents receive prison 

sentences in chiropractic fraud scheme 

Staff Report 

A Northbrook chiropractor and 

his brother and father were sentenced 

to federal prison terms after 

committing medical billing fraud 

that cost insurance carriers $10.8 

million in losses, according to the 

U.S. Attorney of the Northern District 

of Illinois. 

Dr. Vladimir Gordin Jr. and Alexsander 

Gordin, both of Northbrook, 

and their father Vladimir Gordin Sr. 

pleaded guilty this year to health 

care fraud. The three were given 

prison sentences April 24. Vladimir 

Gordin Jr., 46, was sentenced 

to seven years; Alexsander Gordin, 

34, was sentenced to two years; and 

Vladimir Gordin Sr., 70, was sentenced 

to two and a half years. 

The Gordins used their chiropractic 

clinic in Wheeling to fraudulently 

bill insurance carriers for medical 

services found to be medically unnecessary 

or that were not provided 

at all. Federal prosecutors said the 

three men tried to hide their tracks 

by falsifying medical records. 

Some patients knew of the scheme 

and were incentivized to take part 

by having their deductibles met at 

no cost to them, or by receiving a 

portion of the overbilling proceeds, 

prosecutors said. 

According to a release from the 

U.S. attorney’s office, from 2006 to 

November 2012, Gordin Medical 

Center S.C. and an ultrasound service 

that was part of the fraud sent 

in false bills totaling $28,775,000, 

resulting in a loss of $10,847,000 to 

five insurance carriers. 

“As a result of the scheme, the 

Gordins created a medical center 

whose focus, for both the chiropractors 

and the employees, was not patient 

care,” Assistant U.S. Attorneys 

Heather K. McShain and Sarah E. 

Streicker argued in the prosecution’s 

sentencing memorandum. “Rather, 

GMC was a front for false billing; 

patient care was an afterthought.” 

Gordin Medical Center’s office 

manager and the owner of Ultrasound 

Mobile Service Ltd. were 

also sentenced in the scheme. Ultrasound 

Mobile Service owner 

Michelle Kobran was given nine 

months in prison for falsely billing 

insurance companies for ultrasounds, 

and Gordin office manager 

Alina Levit was sentenced to 18 

months of probation, including 90 

days of intermittent incarceration on 

weekends, for forging sign-in sheets 

to falsely show that patients were 

present and received services when 

in reality they were not treated at all. 

From the Village 

Police warn elderly of identity 

theft scams 

On Wednesday, April 26, 

Community Relations Supervisor 

Dan Petka gave a presentation 

to the YMCA on 

identity theft and scams that 

affect the elderly. The event 

was in conjunction with the 

Northbrook Bank and Trust’s 

Money Smart presentation. 

Petka and a bank representative 

have been presenting 

such seminars for several 

years to the YMCA. Approximately 

15 members attended 

this week’s presentation. 

Mayall retires from police 

department 

Sergeant Jim Mayall was 

set to retire Wednesday, May 

3, from the police department 

after serving the community 

for 30 years. Mayall worked 

in the patrol division for 13 

years and then transferred to 

the Criminal Investigations 

Unit until his promotion to 

sergeant in 2003. 

The Village congratulates 

Mayall on his retirement and 

thanks him for his service. 

Police academy students take 

part in mock crime scene 

investigation 

As part of the Citizen Police 

Academy curriculum, participants 

in the April 25 session 

focused on crime scene investigation. 

Several police 

department evidence technicians 

gave a presentation on 

investigative techniques and, 

following that, a hands-on 

session was held with class 

members taking evidence pictures, 

fingerprinting and diagramming 

a crime scene. 

Lone Tree water main project 

continues 

Last week, the Village’s 

contractor completed the installation 

of the water main 

on Sorrel Drive. Additionally, 

crews completed pressure 

testing and chlorination of 

the water main on Bayberry 

Drive. 

This week, crews will begin 

installing the water services 

for homes on Bayberry Drive. 

Staff anticipates that crews 

will also complete the interconnection 

between the existing 

main on Laburnum Drive 

and new main on Bayberry. 

Asphalt resurfacing to begin 

May 10 in Central Business 

District 

Asphalt resurfacing as part 

of the Central Business District 

infrastructure project is 

scheduled to start Wednesday, 

May 10 and is expected to 

take two weeks with paving 

of the roadway up to binder 

level completed by Wednesday, 

May 24 (weather depending). 

The contractor will 

begin milling of pavement 

on Meadow Road, followed 

by Cherry Lane and Church 

Street, and lastly on Shermer 

Road. Milling operations on 

each of these sections is expected 

to take one day. Once 

milling is complete, the contractor 

will complete any 

necessary base patches to the 

roadways and following that 

work, the contractor will begin 

resurfacing the roadways. 

During the resurfacing 

work, two-way traffic will be 

maintained on the roadways 

with flaggers directing traffic. 

While resurfacing operations 

are occurring on each street, 

there will be no on-street 

parking. As the resurfacing 

equipment and vehicles move 

up and down each street, 

driveways may be temporarily 

blocked, however all driveways 

will be ramped and open 

at the end of the day.

The Village’s fiscal 

year 2017-18 budget, 

reviewed by the board 

during a public hearing on 

Tuesday, April 25, has reserves 

built in to mitigate 

possible losses if the state 

cuts its funding to local 

governments. 

The proposed budget is 

balanced with $100.1 million 

in both budgeted expenditures 

and revenues. 

A surplus reserve in 

the General Corporate 

Fund, which pays for the 

Village’s general operating 

expenses, allows for 

flexibility in the case that 

two proposed bills — a 

decrease in the local government 

distributive fund 

and an increase in government 

property taxes — are 

passed by the State of Illinois. 

If adopted, one bill 

would cause a 50 percent 

decrease in the distributive 

fund, which would 

amount to $1.7 million lost 

in funding for the Village 

of Northbrook. 

The governor has also 

proposed a 1.2 percent increase 

in personal income 

tax as a part of the “grand 

bargain” on the state budget. 

This action would 

put a permanent freeze 

on local property taxes, 

capping the amount any 

local government body 

could receive through the 

taxes and reducing the total 

funds available for the 

Village. 

More than $43.7 million 

in revenues have been 

dedicated to the General 

Corporate Fund, with approximately 

$44.2 million 

in expenditures. That still 

leaves a projected $21.5 

million unrestricted fund 

balance, which is $3.99 

million above the Village’s 

Lucky Fish to likely feature on-street valet parking 

Sarah Haider 

Assistant Editor 

The Village Board approved 

a proposal for 

on-street valet parking at 

Lucky Fish, 1349 Shermer 

Road. 

The proposal will now 

go through police, public 

works and traffic consultants 

to ensure traffic safety. 

If the secondary parties 

approve and the restaurant 

owners comply with the 

request, a six-month trial 

will be allowed for valet 

yearly goal of having a reserve 

at least 40 percent of 

the fund’s projected revenue. 

The Village will use 

this reserve to address any 

financial changes the state 

may pass in the coming 

year. 

“We would like to maintain 

the continued flexibility 

of the Village Board to 

act as it needs to and to 

parking before a more permanent 

code is adopted. 

If the request is finalized, 

the restaurant will 

be able to use two existing 

city parking spots in 

front of Edward’s Florist 

at 1353 Shermer Road. It 

is currently predicted to 

hold approximately 150 

patrons with indoor and 

outdoor seating, 

Trustees proposed a 

six-month trial for the 

valet program that would 

take cars from the two 

parking spots near the 

provide services for us,” 

Trustee Michael Scolaro 

said. 

As approved by the 

board at a special meeting 

on March 21, $500,000 of 

the property tax increase 

will be abated for fire and 

police pensions. Projected 

property tax revenues increased 

from $14 million 

in 2016-17 to $16 million 

entrance of the restaurant 

and move them to the 

Metra parking lot during 

dinnertime. 

Although all trustees 

were in support of the proposal, 

Kathryn Ciesla addressed 

possible conflicts 

with the plan, including 

concerns about cars backing 

up in the two-spot 

queue near the Metra 

tracks and possible traffic 

hazards in inclement 

weather. 

Ciesla said the request 

by the new restaurant 

for the upcoming fiscal 

year. 

The budget also accounts 

for expenses outlined 

in the Village’s Capital 

Improvement Plan. The 

plan projects $8 million in 

infrastructure capital improvement, 

including $7.6 

million for street maintenance; 

$5.5 million in the 

Water Fund, including $2 

presents an opportunity 

for the Village to draft 

a standardized plan for 

similar requests that may 

lease property from the 

Village. 

“I think we need to get 

this done, but if we have 

other areas of our village 

where we are allowing 

people to use our facility 

and we are leasing 

that, I think we should remain 

consistent,” Ciesla 

said. “That being said, 

I think we need to make 

it work.” 

million for water main replacements; 

$700,000 for 

the Sanitary Sewer Water 

Fund; and $3 million for 

stormwater mitigation. 

“This budget is terrific,” 

Scolaro said. “I am proud 

of it and we should adopt 

it.”

Glenbrook D225 Board of Education 

GBS, GBN migrate from quarter to semester grading system 

Lauren Kiggins 


Starting this fall, Glenbrook 

South and North 

students will be graded 

by semester, bucking the 

quarterly structure historically 

implemented by 

District 225. 

The Board of Education 

unanimously supported 

the plan to restructure the 

district’s grading system 

during its Monday, April 

24 meeting. 

The action results from 

the board’s yearlong effort 

to analyze district 

protocols and promote 

student wellness. Through 

a series of teacher and 

student surveys, D225 

administration identified 

an unnecessary source of 

stress via the quarter grading 

system. Historically, 

the quarter design stunted 

course syllabus flexibility 

and overall class structure 

due to the mandated 

40/40/20 grading outline 

ROUND IT UP 

A brief recap of D225 board action on April 24 

• Board members re-elected Skip Shein as board president 

for a one-year term. 

• Veteran board member Bruce Doughty was elected as 

board vice-president for a one-year term. Doughty replaces 

Robert Boron, who will resume a board member role. 

• Rosanne Williamson will remain board secretary for a 

one-year term. 

(40 percent first-quarter 

grade/40 percent secondquarter 

grade/20 percent 

semester final). 

Dr. Rosanne Williamson, 

assistant superintendent 

for education services, 

and Ryan Bretag, 

director of instructional 

innovation, explained 

that the cyclical design 

— which required testing 

and project deadlines 

strictly around the 

nine-week mark — burdened 

teachers and students 

alike. They expect 

the new 80/20 construction 

(80 percent semester 

grade/20 percent semester 

final) to mitigate overlapping 

classwork deadlines 

for students. 

“There will be professional 

conversations occurring 

in departments 

about this because we 

don’t want to remove one 

stress for another or trade 

one stress for another,” 

Williamson said. “So it’s 

something we should be 

mindful of and pay attention 

to, but I think almost 

to the person, the teachers 

that we heard from 

thought that they could 

stagger work so things are 

not hitting all at once.” 

Nevertheless, students 

will still have increased 

workloads toward the tail

Northbrook/Glenview D30 Board of Education 

Board members Spero, Sloneker honored for service 

Christa Rooks 


While the Northbrook/ 

Glenview School District 

30 Board of Education 

is welcoming two new 

members to its ranks, it 

also had to bid farewell to 

two important members of 

the team. 

The board sent off members 

Dr. Kenneth Spero 

and Fred Sloneker at its 

regular meeting on Thursday, 

April 27, while also 

welcoming new members 

Keith Karchmar and Jeff 

Zuercher. 

Sloneker had been on 

the board since 2013, 

while Spero had served 

since 2009. This was their 

final meeting as members 

of the board. 

Board President Chuck 

Gitles took time to thank 

each member for their 

service, beginning with 

Sloneker. 

“Over the years, Fred 

has been a champion for 

education in every way,” 

d225 

From Page 8 

of the semester, according 

to Superintendent Dr. 

Mike Riggle. 

“There’s no doubt near 

the end [there are] still 

going to be some things 

that are going to happen 

prior to finals,” Riggle 

said. “There will be less 

pressure, perhaps, at the 

nine-week [point], so that 

could be an advantage that 

many people are siding 

with.” 

GBS Principal Lauren 

Fagel highlighted that the 

grading structure revisions 

were overwhelmingly 

met with open arms 

by faculty. 

“From the time the 

conversation started last 

year there’s been a lot 

of energy and consensus 

around it,” Fagel said. 

“We really didn’t hear 

any consistent concerns. 

It seemed like a logical 

next step in the grading 

system.” 

While there will not 

be explicit quarter report 

cards come fall, 

Gitles said. 

“Fred was recruited to 

the board at a time when 

the board was seeking 

some fresh faces, and I 

don’t know when he came 

if he knew exactly what 

he was getting into — I 

think he just felt the need 

to serve. Once he got here, 

he learned very quickly 

and contributed and was 

a terrific board member.” 

Superintendent Dr. Brian 

Wegley also took time 

to commend Sloneker on 

the work he did for the 

board. As Wegley interviewed 

for the job of superintendent 

two years 

ago, something Sloneker 

said had stuck with him. 

“I heard you say ... we 

want District 30 to be a 

lighthouse district, and 

there’s no reason in the 

world why this shouldn’t 

be the place where people 

come and see how 

it’s supposed to be done 

in terms of us caring for 

each other, developing 

the whole child and getting 

our kids on a trajectory 

that puts them where 

they need to be,” Wegley 

said. “I think you just understand 

it and your whole 

heart is in that.” 

Sloneker also had the 

opportunity to address the 

board and reflect on his 

years serving the district. 

“It’s been a pleasure 

serving with all of you 

and ... I feel very comfortable 

and happy leaving 

because I know you guys 

are on the right track,” he 

said. 

Spero was also recognized 

by Gitles for his 

contributions over the 

past eight years, including 

the past two years of vice 

president of the board. 

“Ken always challenged 

us to look at things from 

a different perspective,” 

Gitles said. 

“We have been honored 

by your presence and you 

will be sorely missed.” 

Wegley also thanked 

Spero for his service as he 

reflected on the time they 

parents will receive midterm 

grade updates nine 

weeks into the semester. 

District officials emphasized 

that this change is 

just the tip of the iceberg; 

many hope the modification 

will lead to further 

reflection on how GBS 

and GBN quantify student 

achievement. 

“What I’m excited 

about is that it opens up 

a bigger conversation of 

growth and the growth 

mindset,” Fagel added. 

“Even though mathematically 

it won’t be a big 

spent working together. 

“One of the things that 

you and I talked about 

was the importance to 

mentor, to be a leader and 

really teach all of us as we 

move forward, and I think 

you’ve done all of that,” 

he said. 

“I think you’re very 

much a heart of our 

board.” 

Spero also addressed 

the board to note how 

much he enjoyed his time 

serving, as well as touching 

on one of his favorite 

achievements — passing a 

referendum to have a new 

Maple School built. 

“Not many boards ever 

get to build a new school,” 

he said. 

Both Spero and Sloneker 

were given a school 

bell by the board to commemorate 

their time serving 

the district. The board 

then adjourned and reconvened 

with the new members 

in place to further 

discuss organizational 

details. 

change in the end, or any 

change really, philosophically 

I think it sends a 

much healthier message 

for kids. ... The concept 

of cumulative throughout 

the semester makes sense. 

[Students] come in with 

less developed skills and 

end up with more developed 

skills, and to not be 

tied to that first-quarter 

grade in the same way I 

think is a much healthier 

approach and I’m excited 

teachers are asking the 

question [of how to weigh 

the semester].”

Worm composting, instrument ‘zoo’ among attractions at Healthy Kids Day 

Hilary Anderson 


The 26th annual Healthy 

Kids Day once again 

brought dozens of families 

to Northbrook’s North 

Suburban YMCA. 

At the event Saturday, 

April 29, part of a national 

YMCA initiative, youngsters 

learned about yoga 

and played many of the 

games at the Youth Yoga 

and Meditation room. Parents 

had a hard time convincing 

their children to 

move on to other activities. 

Elizabeth Mikhaul, 8, 

and sister, Magdalena, 5, 

didn’t want to leave. 

“I had fun learning how 

to do different poses,” 

Magdalena said. 

“I liked the games we 

played,” Elizabeth added. 

Even Darryl and Marlene 

Angelico had a hard 

time convincing their 

granddaughter Eliana Gillespie, 

4, to try another 

activity. 

“Healthy Kids Day was 

an opportunity for families 

to play, connect and learn,” 

said Kathy Fielding, vice 

president of member engagement. 

“We had a wide 

variety of activities to appeal 

to all ages and interests.” 

Ellie Mogilner and 

daughter, Abby, drew a 

crowd with their worm bin. 

The two explained how 

they put food scraps like 

fruit and vegetables in the 

bin along with Red Crawler 

worms they get from a 

pet shop and cover it with 

newspaper strips to keep 

the worms warm. 

“The worms make a 

kind of good dirt that we 

then put in our garden,” 

Ellie Mogilner explained 

to an interested Carly 

Franklin, 7. “That helps 

make our garden grow really 

well.” 

“Don’t the worms ever 

crawl out?” Franklin 

asked. 

“No,” Abby Mogilner 

said. 

Finn and Eliot Lewis 

helped their father, Robert, 

plant a variety of seeds in 

tiny dissolving vases that 

will be transferred to a big 

plot in their backyard. 

“I liked the free food 

they had and planting the 

seeds,” Robert Lewis said. 

“We have carrots, radishes, 

peas, basil and pumpkin 

seeds.” 

“Making the kites was 

nice,” said Finn Lewis, “but 

the room with the obstacle 

courses was the best.” 

Sunset Foods, Subway, 

Noodles & Company, Tiny 

but Mighty Popcorn, Pinstripes 

and Go Go Squeeze 

Yogurt provided free samples 

of their food at the 

event. 

Face painting was big on 

youngsters’ lists as were 

kite-making and animal 

balloons. 

Keaton Spaniak, 3, 

showed off his goldfish 

balloon as he trotted down 

the hall. 

There were Summer 

Safety, Healthy Eating and 

Your Child and Technology 

presentations. The latter 

drew a crowd of interested 

parents. 

“Know your children’s 

codes and passwords but 

that’s not enough,” cautioned 

social worker Dori 

Mages. “Talk with your 

children about what’s appropriate 

online and what 

are the consequences of 

doing things that are not 

appropriate. Know how 

your kids use social media. 

If it interferes with eating, 

sleeping, family activities, 

social events, then there is 

a problem.” 

A big crowd draw at the 

event was music historian 

Jim Kendros, director of 

community outreach for

the Northbrook Symphony 

Orchestra. He and violist 

Susan Bengtson and percussionist 

Nick Kabat had 

what they called an instrument 

petting zoo. 

They gave youngsters 

the chance to touch and 

play actual instruments, 

including historical ones. 

Caroline Yuan, 4, turned 

the crank on the hurdygurdy, 

a medieval stringed 

instrument, while Victoria 

Artega, 9, and sister 

Yoli, 7, listened intently as 

Kendros played the nyckelharpa, 

circa 1390. They 

originally were liturgical 

instruments.

THE LAKE FOREST LEADER 

North Avenue properties 

look for updates, Village 

seeks revisions to plan 

The Lake Bluff Village 

Board considered a 

resolution to approve a 

site plan for exterior alterations 

to the properties 

at 104-110 Scranton 

Ave., 612-616 Oak Ave., 

41 E. North Ave. and 35 

E. North Ave. at its meeting 

Monday, April 24, but 

sent it back to the Architectural 

Board of Review. 

Brick House Farms 

X, LLC, the owner of 

the properties, proposed 

changes including landscaping, 

sidewalks, window 

replacement, exterior 

lights and exterior painting. 

The resolution was 

previously approved at a 

Lake Bluff Architectural 

Board of Review meeting 

on April 4, with the condition 

that the driveway at 

35 E. North Ave. be made 

out of a paver designed 

to allow grass to grow 

through it. Brick House 

Farms asked the board 

to approve the resolution 

without this condition, 

and allow them to use 

asphalt instead in a letter 

prior to the meeting. 

The letter stated that 

grass would not grow in 

this area due to the “permanent 

and heavy use by 

vehicles” in that location. 

This would then necessitate 

that these pockets be 

filled with gravel, which 

would be messy and hard 

to keep clear during icy 

and snowy weather. The 

pavers would add a cost of 

$7,000-$8,000 to the total 

renovations. 

Trustee William Meyer 

stated that he shared Brick 

House Farms’ concerns 

about the snow and ice 

being hard to clear in the 

winter months if pavers 

were used. 

After much discussion 

the board sent the resolution 

back to the Architectural 

Board of Review 

to have it review further 

options. The Architectural 

Board of Review will 

meet May 2.

THE WINNETKA CURRENT 

Winnetka nature 

nonprofit celebrates 

10 years of youth, 

community outreach 

Founded in 2007, Back- 

Yard Nature Center set 

out with a mission to help 

children and adults foster 

nature in New Trier 

Township. Ten years later, 

in the age of accessible 

technology, the charge 

rings truer than ever. 

The Winnetka-based 

nonprofit is led by founder 

and president Daniel 

Kielson, along with a 

five-member board of directors, 

one part-time staff 

member and a myriad of 

volunteers. 

“[Our] mission is very 

simple: to connect children 

and adults with the 

wonders of nature, focusing 

on New Trier Township,” 

veteran board 

member John Levine said. 

“We look around us and 

there are, in fact, wonders 

if we just take time to look 

and listen and enjoy.” 

Levine stressed that 

conservation and environmental 

activism are possible 

for those interested, 

even at the local North 

Shore level. 

“I had this kind of 

epiphany that conservation 

is not just something 

that happens in the Amazon 

rainforest,” Levine 

said. “There are things 

even in our own backyard 

that are going on that people 

can get involved with, 

whether it’s enjoying the 

outdoors and wildlife in 

the environment or getting 

involved, like I wanted 

to do.” 

BackYard Nature Center 

coordinates habitat 

restoration projects, education 

programming and 

outdoor nature activities 

throughout the village. 

To date, the organization 

has worked with hundreds 

of community members 

across 30 organizations 

and nine schools. Most 

recently, they partnered 

with Sunset Ridge School 

for a nature hike and day 

of habitat restoration, 

which included the removal 

of non-indigenous 

species such as buckthorn.

THE WILMETTE BEACON 

Village Hall roof 

replacement deferred until 

fall 

A Wilmette Village Hall 

roof replacement contract 

approval was originally 

scheduled to take place 

at the Wilmette Village 

Board’s Tuesday, April 25 

meeting, but the project 

has now been pushed back 

until the fall. 

The contract was in 

the amount not to exceed 

$606,758 with The Garland 

Roof Company of 

Cleveland. The 2017 budget 

provides $630,000 to 

replace the roof at Village 

Hall. For the project, staff 

identified a joint purchase 

opportunity for roofing 

services through the U.S. 

Communities program, 

which is a national nonprofit 

purchasing cooperative. 

The Garland Roof Company 

currently holds the 

contract for roofing services 

under the facilities 

solutions division of U.S. 

Communities. Trustee 

Ted McKenna expressed 

concerns with the U.S. 

Communities procurement 

process and pricing 

for replacement of the Village 

Hall roof. In order to 

adequately address McKenna’s 

concerns, the approval 

of the contract was 

removed from the agenda. 

Staff will be evaluating 

options in regard to design 

services and a request for 

proposal and bidding process. 

Work was scheduled 

to begin in early May and 

end in June, but has now 

been pushed back until the 

fall. 

“In advance of the 

meeting we had a request 

from Trustee McKenna to 

remove (the roof replacement 

contract approval),” 

Village President Bob 

Bielinski said. “(McKenna) 

thought the Village 

should explore a different 

bidding process to see 

if we could cut the costs 

on this expenditure. Staff 

has agreed to follow that 

recommendation and see 

what we can do in terms 

of cutting costs.”

THE GLENCOE ANCHOR 

North Shore Exchange 

named finalist for James 

Tyree Award 

Glencoe’s North Shore 

Exchange made the final 

cut for the James Tyree 

Award, being named 

one of three finalists for 

the annual Chicagoland 

Chamber of Commerce 

honor. 

The James Tyree 

Emerging Business Leadership 

Award is given annually 

to an “up-and-coming 

Chicago business that 

has demonstrated growth 

and philanthropic values,” 

according to a Chicagoland 

Chamber of Commerce 

release. 

The winner of the award 

will receive a $50,000 

cash prize. Wendy Serrino, 

president of the North 

Shore Exchange, said it 

was the first time they had 

applied for the award. She 

added the money would 

have a “multiplier” effect 

for the Glencoe nonprofit, 

which was founded in 

March 2013. If they win, 

Serrino said they plan to 

use the prize money to 

strengthen the business 

and, in turn, yield more 

grants. 

Serrino said they would 

use the prize money to: 

launch a pop-up store in 

the city; invest in inventory 

management software 

and a new online ordering 

system, and invest in targeted 

marketing. 

“We are thrilled,” Serrino 

said. “To be recognized 

both as a successful 

business and helping people 

— we feel fantastic 

about that.” 

North Shore Exchange, 

the upscale consignment 

shop at 372 Hazel Ave., 

gives 100 percent of its 

proceeds to charity. In 

three years, the nonprofit 

has distributed $700,000 

in grant money to a wide 

range of Chicago-area 

organizations, including 

those focused on: abuse, 

education, health care, 

disabilities, homelessness, 

hunger, mental health and 

social services.

THE HIGHLAND PARK LAND- 

MARK 

PDHP maintenance facility 

given OK for construction 

The Park District of 

Highland Park will be 

constructing a new building 

to house its park maintenance 

and golf operations 

facility after the City 

Council approved a series 

of ordinances amending 

its zoning codes and a development 

agreement at 

its Monday, April 24. 

The building at 1220- 

1240 Fredrickson Place 

will be built on property 

already owned by the 

park district, and will replace 

a previously existing, 

smaller building. The 

park district asked for relief 

from the zoning code, 

so the building could be 3 

feet taller than the previous 

code allowed for. 

As part of the public 

benefit required for new 

developments in the city, 

the park district plans 

to plant trees and native 

grass in excess of what is 

required of them. 

Concerns were heard 

from members of the 

city council over planned 

lighting in the parking lot 

of the new building, and 

whether or not the lights 

would make an impact on 

the residences near the location.

Northbrook volunteers build goodie bags for hospitalized kids 

Submitted by 

Northwestern Mutual - 

Chicago 

There were a lot of helping 

hands, both big and 

small when volunteers at 

the Northbrook office of 

Northwestern Mutual – 

Chicago transformed their 

workspace into a production 

line assembling goodie 

bags for hospitalized children. 

Tables were filled with 

books, toys, puzzles and 

other goodies as volunteers 

packed more than 70 bags 

that were delivered to the 

Ronald McDonald House 

near Lurie Children’s Hospital. 

“We are grateful to our 

financial professionals 

who through this event are 

sharing our philanthropic 

cause with their families 

and friends,” said Corey D. 

McQuade, managing partner. 

“We hope that through 

this outreach we can provide 

some joy to children 

who can be facing the most 

difficult of life circumstances.” 

The Northbrook volunteers 

also made personalized 

cards with uplifting 

messages for Cards for Hospitalized 

Kids and helped 

raise funds for Alex’s Lemonade 

Stand Foundation. 

In 2014, the Chicagobased 

financial planning 

firm joined forces with 

Northwestern Mutual’s 

national childhood cancer 

initiative to accelerate the 

search for cures for childhood 

cancer and to provide 

support for families fighting 

the disease. Through

To help support local 

families, in 2015, Northwestern 

Mutual – Chicago 

and its district offices in 

Northbrook, Oak Brook 

and Rosemont began a 

partnership with the Ronald 

McDonald House of Chicagoland 

and Northwest 

Indiana. The financial planning 

firm regularly engages 

its associates with days of 

service providing meals 

for families staying at one 

of the five local houses. In 

2016, in conjunction with 

the Northwestern Mutual 

Foundation, the firm presented 

a $25,000 grant that 

supports local programming. 

This is the second year 

that the firm’s Childhood 

Cancer Impact Committee 

has organized the care

GBN students repair disasterstricken

Spring break trip

North High School 

What’s better than just 

traveling to great locations? 

“Getting to know the 

local people and hearing 

their stories,” Glenbrook 

South sophomore Macy 

Galante said. 

Galante recently participated 

in a SaLT (Service 

and Learning Travel) 

Spring Break trip to New 

Orleans where she and 

about 20 other local students 

worked to restore 

housing damaged from 

Hurricane Katrina and a 

tornado that occurred only 

a few months ago. 

“Hurricane Katrina 

was so long ago but the 

destruction was still evident,” 

Galante said. “It 

was difficult to look at.” 

Nicole Baker, also a 

sophomore at GBS, said 

the trip was life-changing. 

“We did 30 to 35 hours 

of service,” Baker said. 

“The homeowners were 

very thankful for our 

help.” 

SaLT was started about 

two years ago by local 

educators in an effort to 

help students find ways 

to serve outside of their 

zip code. The organization’s 

mission is to “create 

uniquely meaningful 

student travel experiences 

that meet the needs of a local 

community while promoting 

personal growth 

and understanding.”

This past Presidents 

Day weekend, students 

from Glenbrook North 

and Glenbrook South participated 

in a SaLTrip to 

Walt Disney World in Orlando. 

The students served 

Make-A-Wish Foundation 

families who were staying 

at Give Kids the World 

Village. 

“I thought the Disney 

trip would be an eyeopening 

experience, and it 

really was,” said Zoe Galis, 

a junior at Glenbrook 

North. “The kids were so 

happy to be there that they 

forgot about their illness. 

They were just there to 

have fun.” 

Emma Schwartz- 

Dodek, a sophomore at 

Glenbrook South, also attended 

the Orlando trip. 

“One day I just talked 

to the kids for six hours,” 

Schwartz-Dodek said. 

“I’ve always wanted to be 

a teacher when I’m older 

and I think any interaction 

with kids, like SaLT, will 

help me toward that goal.” 

The next SaLTrip will 

be SaLTinALASKA from 

July 23 to 31. The students 

will work in collaboration 

with the Tlingit 

and Haida tribes of Juneau 

to conserve Alaska’s pristine 

landscapes as they 

also learn about the lifestyles 

and traditions of the 

indigenous culture.

From the Assistant Editor 

The incoming graduates 

Sarah Haider 


Is it a bird? Is it a 

plane? No, it’s plastic 

graduation caps being 

thrown into the air. In the 

next three weeks, college 

kids will return to Northbrook 

in hordes, many 

with a brand new, stiff diploma 

in hand. Toward the 

end of the month, a new 

batch of legal adults will 

march across the stage at 

Glenbrook North, move 

their cord to the other side 

and make their way into 

the real world. 

Between graduation 

parties and the freedom 

in the summer sun, we 

seasoned adults often 

forget one thing about this 

past time in life — it’s terrifying. 

Even though the 

graduates are all adults, 

they are just starting to 

stumble into the dance of 

life. 

Think Ben Braddock in 

“The Graduate,” returning 

home after excelling at 

college to proud parents 

and a party full of people 

thrusting their secrets to 

success upon him while he 

is the midst of one of the 

most confusing and scary 

transitions life has to offer. 

Braddock spends his time 

staring into a fish tank, 

worrying about his future, 

before his parents remind 

him there is a room full of 

people waiting downstairs 

to congratulate him. 

Our graduates are seeing 

the big, scary world 

for the first time down 

from the safety of their 

ivory towers, worrying if 

there is a place for them, 

and we are so eager to remind 

them it’s all waiting 

there for them to dive in. 

I officially graduated 

college a year ago with an 

unwavering determination, 

a positive outlook 

and the shadow of the 

fear of failure following 

every footstep. It was a 

struggle at first, filling out 

dozens of online applications, 

the equivalent of 

shouting into the void. 

Three months in, with the 

ever-present realization 

that I had just spent a ton 

of money and time at a 

university, my hopes went 

to finding the perfect job, 

to a job that paid well, to 

literally any job. 

But I got lucky. Through 

a series of events that 

started with asking my 

friend’s mom’s friend for 

a job, I was directed to 

our local trivia host at The 

Curragh, The Northbrook 

Tower’s past Assistant Editor 

Riley Simpson, which 

ended with me getting an 

offer for a job I wanted to 

take: this one. Thankfully, 

I didn’t settle. I scored 

a job that challenges me 

every day while getting to 

cultivate my passion working 

in a community I care 

about. 

I can see now, from my 

stable position, that it was 

always going to be all 

right and I would always 

find my way, but then I 

felt like I was standing at 

the bottom of a pool wearing 

a 100-pound metal 

diving suit. 

While I understand the 

excitement for our graduates, 

I caution patience 

and understanding. It’s a 

hard market to be entering. 

The average time to 

find a job after graduation 

is three to nine months. 

Even once the first job is 

snagged with a sigh of 

relief, it still doesn’t mean 

the search is over. 

Just take a look at GBN 

graduate Nathan Ross, 

who went to law school 

before moving out to L.A. 

and forging an unconventional 

path to being one 

of the most successful 

producers in Hollywood, 

or John Geary, who 

started off in advertising 

before following his 

passion in live music, now 

managing one of the most 

up-and-coming venues in 

Chicago. 

Finding the path of 

the passion to dedicate 

our lives to is not easy 

and usually not direct. At 

times, it is grueling and 

seemingly hopeless, but I 

believe it may be worth it. 

If you have already 

found yours, remember 

the journey it took to 

reach it and as we watch 

our graduates finding their 

own way through struggles 

and success, remember 

they are trying. They 

will want to succeed just 

as much, if not more than 

you want to see them to 

succeed. And with a little 

time, a lot of determination 

and a support group 

of family and friends, they 

will.

Northbrook man took road less 

traveled to become musician 

Matt Yan, Editor 

Most people don’t work 

their way up in a career 

only to leave and become 

a stay-at-home dad. Then 

again, most people aren’t 

Steven Buzil. 

After 15 years working 

for a Chicago courier service, 

Buzil felt burnt out. 

The birth of his second 

child marked a significant 

milestone. His wife’s career 

was taking off, and he 

wasn’t keen on staying at 

his job. So he did what few 

men would have done at 

the time in 2001: He quit 

his job as director of operations 

to take care of his 

two kids. 

It was a relief from the 

nonstop stress of corporate 

life that had been plaguing 

him for years. He had 

more time to raise his kids 

and re-evaluate what he 

wanted to do with his time. 

That answer came in 

the form of music. Buzil, 

who enjoyed singing and 

playing guitar as a hobby, 

started playing at venues 

and getting paid. 

“That was probably 

the greatest move I ever 

made,” said Buzil, who 

plays under the stage name 

Steven Zane. “That not 

only allowed me to get 

more into my music but 

I was able to be with my 

kids, they were able to be 

with me.” 

Though today more men 

are settling into roles as 

full-time parents, in the 

early 2000s there was still 

a large stigma attached to 

such a lifestyle. Buzil said 

most people were supportive, 

but he certainly felt 

some disapproval from his 

male peers who were still 

working full-time. 

“There was a stigma 

but I didn’t worry about 

it,” Buzil said. “I don’t let 

those things bother me. I 

try to make the best of every 

situation and I try to 

understand that everyone 

is unique. What is good for 

the goose may not be good 

for the gander.” 

The main challenge, 

he said, was not having 

a steady second income, 

but he and his wife Shannon 

Buzil budgeted their 

finances and made it 

work. 

“She was always there to 

back me up on everything, 

she’s been number one on 

that,” Steven Buzil said. 

“It seems like the right 

thing for me to do, to write 

these songs, and give them 

to the world, what small 

part of it that I can. It just 

feels right and I think she 

knew that. She’s always 

been very supportive.” 

The only thing Buzil 

desires beyond his current 

situation is to reach more 

people. 

Debuting a new album 

might help. Buzil is set to 

release his third solo CD 

this week and will play at 

a release party May 13 at 

The Panda Bar in Highland 

Park. 

His CD, “Take Me 

Home,” is an eclectic mix 

of songs with folk and 

country influences. Buzil 

said some of the songs 

are Pink Floyd-esque. 

One song is named “The 

Wall,” but Buzil said the 

title comes from the time 

he took his daughter to see 

the traveling Vietnam veterans 

wall at the Village 

Green. 

Other songs on the CD 

include the soulful, eponymous 

“Take Me Home” 

and the mellow anti-violence 

song, “Hey, My 

Brother.” 

Several local collaborators 

took part in 

the recording, including 

Highland Park’s Dana 

Lawrence Gillis, a singer 

Buzil first saw when she 

was performing at The 

Panda Bar. She sings 

backup vocals on several 

songs. 

“She’s got a beautiful 

voice,” Buzil said. “She’s 

a great singer. I’ve always 

liked female vocalists — I 

had other ones on my first 

two CDs, it adds a whole 

other dimension. It really

rounds out, almost some of 

these songs need it.” 

Northbrook resident 

Gary Shuman, a friend of 

Buzil’s, sings backup on 

another song. 

The album, recorded 

at Dr. Caw Recording in 

Northbrook, is a familyfriendly 

release that Buzil 

hopes will reach people 

with its theme of peace 

and anti-violence. 

Buzil’s environment has 

changed since he first began 

playing professionally. 

He plays more gigs, he’s 

part of two bands, Electric 

Medicine and Rhythmic 

Cats, and his kids are now 

in high school. 

And though his music 

has changed over the 

years, from lullabies to 

rock anthems to this folkinspired 

album, his passion 

for music remains the 

same as it’s always been. 

“It’s very rewarding 

when you hear people 

say ‘I love your music, it 

touched me in this way,’ ” 

Buzil said. “My first CD 

was very relaxing; I used 

to have people tell me they 

come home from a hard 

day of work, open a bottle 

of wine and listen to my 

CD. That means more to 

me than money or fame. 

That’s what it’s all about.”

HP native living the dream with Marco’s Northside Grill 

vio 

Highwood 

restaurant opened 

in December 

Eric DeGrechie 

Managing Editor 

Marco Santi is Highland 

Park and Highwood 

through and through. 

The 1984 Highland 

Park High School graduate 

loves the community 

he grew up in. Following 

a successful career as 

a soybean trader for the 

Chicago Board of Trade, 

he decided to fulfill a 

lifelong dream to own a 

restaurant on the North 

Shore. Marco’s Northside 

Grill, 329 Waukegan Ave., 

Highwood, opened its 

doors this past December. 

“This has been 30 years 

in the works and something 

I’ve always wanted 

to do,” Santi said. “I was 

bitten by the restaurant 

bug very early.” 

Like many family members 

and friends, Santi 

worked at Highwood 

staple Del Rio Restaurant 

when he was younger. 

“One night I walked 

into the dining room and 

saw this sea of people eating, 

drinking, laughing 

and I was mesmerized by 

it,” Santi said. “I knew 

that one day I wanted to 

do that at my own place.” 

About five years ago, 

as the idea to open a restaurant 

got more serious, 

Santi connected with 

Steve Lombardo, owner 

of Chicago’s famed Gibsons 

Bar & Steakhouse, 

to get some “world class 

training.” He spent significant 

time in the kitchen, 

waited tables, tended bar, 

worked with management,

and did the bookwork and 

accounting at the restaurant 

group’s Rosemont location. 

Feeling confident 

with the extensive knowledge 

he acquired during 

that experience, Santi began 

looking for a location 

to open his restaurant and 

found a spot next door 

to The Toadstool Pub in 

Highwood. 

A group of 22nd Century 

Media editors recently 

made a trip to Marco’s 

Northside Grill to chat 

with Santi and try some of 

the restaurant’s food. 

First up was a bowl of 

Wisconsin cheese curds 

($6.25). The classic upnorth 

treat that “goes with 

everything,” as Santi describes 

them, were a perfect 

start. The deep-fried 

balls of deliciousness 

were served with a side of 

ranch dressing. 

The casual atmosphere 

at Marco’s gives customers 

a chance to “let their 

hair down,” according to 

Santi, and have fun while 

they’re eating lunch or 

dinner. 

“It gets a little loud, but 

so what. This is a fun and 

boisterous place when it 

gets rolling,” Santi said. 

“I encourage people to 

come in, get a cocktail, sit 

down and watch the ballgame.” 

Next up we tried the 

jumbo shrimp cocktail 

($10). The appetizer features 

four chunked jumbo 

gulf shrimp on a bed 

of iceberg lettuce and 

is served with Marco’s 

house cocktail sauce and a 

lemon wedge. The Texas 

and Louisiana shrimp are 

wild-caught and are of the 

highest quality, according 

to Santi. 

Other appetizers available 

include chicken 

wings, onion rings and 

golden tenders. French

onion soup, shrimp bisque 

and house chili (seasonal) 

are also popular. 

The chopped dinner salad 

($10), like all the salads 

at Marco’s, is madeto-order 

with the freshest 

ingredients. The salad 

features a spring romaine 

mix, shredded cabbage 

and carrots, cucumber, 

grape tomatoes and fresh 

avocado. Santi topped the 

salad we sampled with 

shrimp and this was definitely 

a hit at the table. 

Among the menu items 

Santi said the restaurant 

is already becoming 

well-known for is the 

house burger ($11.95). 

Made with 100 percent 

Black Angus, mixed with 

ground beef, brisket and 

some secret ingredients, 

the burger comes with 

potato chips or fresh-cut 

house fries, a pickle and 

coleslaw. Diners can substitute 

the chips or fries 

with cheese curds, a side 

salad or onion rings for an 

extra $3. Cheese (American, 

cheddar, pepperjack 

or blue), bacon, grilled 

mushrooms or avocado 

can also be added for $1 

extra each. 

Marco’s also offers a 

fish fry, Black Angus sliders, 

a black bean vegan 

burger, a grilled chicken 

sandwich, a New Orleans 

chicken sandwich and 

a reuben, among other 

items, on an ever-changing 

menu.

with Tom Garrity, owner 

of The Toadstool Pub 

next door, since they were 

kids growing up on the 

North Shore. Garrity approached 

Santi about not 

having a kitchen in his 

tavern. The two decided 

to form a partnership after 

receiving permission from 

the City to work together. 

Patrons from both establishments 

can order food 

from Marco’s. Santi jokes 

that a “magic door” connects 

the two establishments, 

as both are under 

the same roof with the 

same landlord. 

“Tommy and I are 

working together to provide 

not only the high 

standards that I want here 

in the restaurant and in the 

dining room, but to provide 

that same thing in the 

pub,” Santi said. “People 

can sit in the pub, watch 

the ballgame, order food 

from us and we’ll deliver 

it to them.”

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with David Walker 

Walker is a senior attack on the Glenbrook 

North lacrosse team. 

What’s something not many people 

know about you? 

I have around 20 cousins and a lot of 

them live close to me and we’re very 

close as an extended family. We see each 

other a lot, which is not common for 

most people. 

If you won the lottery, what’s the 

first thing you would do? 

I think I would buy a jet and go to 

Europe because that is the one place that 

I’ve always wanted to go, specifically 

Greece. I’ve had a lot of friends that have 

gone there and it’s looked amazing. 

If you could have dinner with 

anyone who would it be? 

I think I would choose Robin Williams. 

I’ve always loved the movies that 

he’s been in, like “Good Will Hunting” is 

one of my favorite movies. 

What is a dream job for you? 

Being an anchor on a sports network. 

My brother and I watch SportsCenter 

almost every day so from a really young 

age that’s always been a job I’ve wanted 

to see myself in, and I think if I had that 

opportunity that would be awesome. 

What’s one thing you can’t live 

without? 

My parents are an obvious one, but 

I would say my younger brother has a 

huge impact on me. I consider him probably 

one of my best friends. 

What are your goals for this 

season? 

I think our biggest goal is just to keep 

getting better and peaking right when 

playoffs start so we’re playing our best 

lacrosse at the right time. And then 

coming together as a family and having 

each other’s backs on the field every day, 

whether it’s at practice or at games. 

How did you get into lacrosse? 

My older cousin played and in sixth 

grade I went with him to Sports Authority 

and bought a lacrosse stick and played 

catch one random afternoon. Right after 

that I started getting into it and joined the 

park district, then club teams, then high 

school. 

What do you like about lacrosse? 

I would say that I feel like it’s a combination 

of a lot of sports. Basketball, 

hockey, football, just the contact, and the 

strategery that we use every day to play 

different opponents. Just how big the 

teams are, that also plays a big part in it 

because I get to meet a lot of new people 

and get close with a lot of different-aged 

kids that I may not have met before. 

What is the most difficult aspect of 

the sport? 

I think the different steps and formations 

that both offenses and defenses use 

that we have to learn and be able to run 

comfortably on the fly during games, and 

being able to recognize what the defense 

is doing and adjusting with our teammates 

on the field with the help of our 

coaches. 

What superpower would you 

want? 

I think I would want to be able to fly, 

so I could go wherever I wanted, wherever 

I wanted.

GBN comes back to win 3,200 at Spartan Relays 

NEIL MILBERT 


Defending champion Glenbrook 

North finished third in 

the 55th annual Spartan Relays 

on Friday, April 28, but coach 

Scott Lasky wasn’t complaining. 

“Today was better than I expected,” 

Lasky said. “Coming 

in third was a pretty good accomplishment.” 

Stevenson won the meet 

with 142 points to 80 for the 

rebuilding Spartans. Glenbrook 

South finished fifth in 

the 11-team meet with 70 and 

Loyola Academy was eighth 

with 42. 

GBN captured the 3,200-meter 

relay (8:04.97) and the 

1,600-meter relay (3:27.62). 

Sophomore Dana Sullivan 

and juniors Michael Ocasek, 

Ari Bosse and Kyle Foley 

formed the winning quartet in 

the 3,200, while seniors Luke 

Amen and Daniel Milgram 

teamed with Sullivan and Foley 

in the 1,600. 

Foley ran the anchor leg in 

both events and in the 3,200 

he had to come from behind 

to overtake Stevenson’s Caleb 

Oh between the far turn and 

the stretch turn. 

“I thought ‘It’s now or never; 

I’ve got to pass this guy,’” 

said Foley, who is making a 

comeback after an injury stymied 

him during the indoor 

season. “I went hard.” 

The Spartans picked up 

a meet-high 33 of their 80 

points in field events, where 

the placing was determined 

by collective team scores. 

Their standouts were senior TJ 

Weinzimmer in the long jump 

and triple jump and senior 

Nick Duelfer in the pole vault. 

GBS also did well in field 

events, tying Stevenson for 

second with 30 points.

Dmitry Manesiotis were

while senior Sam Cowhey, junior 

Armani Ubeid and sophomores 

Patrick Blanchard and 

Michael Zimmerman led them 

in the long jump. 

The Titans’ best performances 

in the relay races were 

thirds in the 6,400 and the low 

hurdle shuttle. 

In the 6,400 Jack Whetstone 

ran the leadoff leg and fellow 

senior Alec Sanchez ran the 

anchor leg, while juniors Matt 

Jortberg and Jordan Theriault

From Page 46 

Between McCarthy, Voronov (25 assists, 

4 aces) and Biebrach (7 kills), 

GBN showed that several different players 

could step up. 

“It helps to have guys on the bench 

that you can go to if certain players are 

struggling,” Cooper said. “It gives your 

lineup a new look and it’s always important 

to have that depth. If we have 

to make changes, the team seems to respond.” 

Chase Bolan added 11 digs for GBN. 

For the Giants, Gerrit Holleman had 

three kills, three blocks, four assists 

and four digs. Zach Levy had three kills 

and three blocks, Lucas Humerick had 

four digs, and Jack Sakanich had three 

blocks.



Girls Soccer 

Cramin’s double lifts GBN over Highland Park 

Derek Wolff, Sports Editor 

For 76 minutes on a blustery, 

bitterly cold night in late April, 

Highland Park and Glenbrook 

North played to a stalemate. 

The trouble for the visiting 

Giants (10-3, 2-1 CSL) was that 

they had already yielded a goal 

to prolific Spartans sophomore 

right wing Samantha Cramin in 

the third minute of the contest 

on Thursday, April 27, in Northbrook. 

Cramin’s second tally of the 

game in the 79th minute sealed 

the deal in a 2-0 win for the 

Spartans (8-2-3, 4-0 CSL) and 

increased their shot at capturing 

an outright CSL North Division 

title. 

Glenbrook North dominated 

possession thanks to strong play 

from its holding midfielders, 

while Cramin’s attacking prowess 

and creative play helped set 

up a number of chances for the 

Spartans. 

“We’ve been working a lot on 

having our midfield be able to 

connect, keep composure with 

the ball at their feet and keep going,” 

Spartans coach Craig Loch 

said. “I think they did a good job 

today in the midfield moving 

the ball but we kept going to the 

strong side and kept moving the 

ball, finding the switches. We 

were looking to play a little too 

direct.” 

Giants goalkeeper Maile Lunardi’s 

efforts kept Highland 

Park in the game, though in the 

third minute she was victimized 

after coming off of her line early. 

Cramin made an attacking run 

up the right side of the pitch and 

into the box, where she slipped 

around a pair of defenders and 

then caught Lunardi out of position, 

placing a slotted shot into 

the net at the far corner for the 

1-0 lead. 

Glenbrook North continued 

to press forward in the offensive 

third and earned a corner kick 

two minutes later. The Giants 

Flanked by Highland Park’s Sarah Stahlberger (left) and Sarah 

Shiner (right), Glenbrook North’s Victoria Caparos (middle) moves 

the ball through the midfield during a contest on Thursday, April 

27, in Northbrook. Derek Wolff/22nd Century Media 

were dealt a blow of bad luck in 

the eighth minute when freshman 

right back Eva Hanson was 

injured inside the box and had to 

be taken off the field. 

As a result, the Giants leaned 

heavily on sophomore center 

backs Ryan Cary and Jamie 

Stern. While the Spartans continued 

to control possession 

throughout, Cary and Stern 

helped Highland Park force 

GBN to play the ball outside to 

its wings rather than attacking 

directly up the center. 

Glenbrook North nearly found 

its second goal of the match in 

the 10th minute when Olivia 

Kosla connected with Emily 

Charen off a volley into the box, 

but Charen’s shot on was pushed 

away with a diving save from 

Lunardi. 

GBN got its next best look to 

score in the 29th minute, though 

Victoria Caparos’ shot sailed 

over the bar. 

Cramin’s creativity was on 

full display in the second half, 

where another attacking run saw 

her all alone with Lunardi inside 

the 6-yard box in the 44th minute. 

A diving save from the goalkeeper 

kept Highland Park in 

the contest, a reoccurring theme 

for the half. 

Lunardi stopped shots from 

Torrie Welch in the 51st and 

Caparos in the 54th minutes, 

then stopped Charen off a nice 

through pass from Cramin in 

the 58th. When Charen drew a 

penalty kick in the 77th, Lunardi 

stopped that, too. 

Finally, GBN’s speed caught 

up to Highland Park in the 79th, 

when Cramin again found herself 

all alone with the Highland 

Park goalkeeper. Lunardi was 

forced to stray from her line and 

stopped an initial shot, but the 

rebound found Cramin’s foot, 

followed by the back of the net 

for the 2-0 final tally. 

Loch was complimentary of 

the Highland Park goalkeeper 

and pleased with his side for 

finding a way past her. 

“I think we have some dynamic 

players on our team with 

some speed,” he said. “You can’t 

coach speed. When you have 

that, you need to create opportunities 

to your dynamic up top 

and it puts the defense and the 

goalie in tough situations. I think 

(Lunardi) played awesome. She 

played well, she stopped multiple 

chances, she gave them a chance 

to stay in the game.” 

The win kept Glenbrook 

North perfect in CSL play on 

a day when the IHSA released 

sectional seedings. GBN drew 

the No. 5 seed in its own sectional, 

with rival Glenbrook 

South as the No. 4 seed, setting 

up a potential regional championship 

matchup between the 

two at GBS.

GBN rallies to deny a game HP squad 

David Jaffe 


Even good teams like 

the Glenbrook North boys 

volleyball team, winners 

of 13 of the last 14 Central 

Suburban League 

North conference titles, 

aren’t going to be at the 

top of their game every 

match. 

But the Spartans (12- 

3, 3-0) are well equipped 

to respond when things 

aren’t going their way. 

They’re an experienced, 

deep squad with the ability 

to overcome tough 

situations. 

Although visiting Highland 

Park gave them a 

tough match, GBN finished 

strong at the end 

of both sets, ultimately 

winning 25-19, 25-15 on 

April 25. 

“We have a lot of options 

we can go to,” 

GBN’s Quinn McCarthy 

(9 kills) said. “If certain 

players aren’t playing 

well, we have other guys 

that can step in and that 

we can look to. We’re a 

deep team and we’re able 

to rely on a bunch of different 

players.” 

“It’s good we have the 

ability to overcome slow 

starts,” GBN coach Chris 

Cooper said. “I would 

have liked if we started 

the match with the same 

intensity as we finished it. 

I have to hand it to Highland 

Park. They put pressure 

on us in the first half 

of the first set. We didn’t

on April 25 in Northbrook. Itai Epstein/22nd Century Media 

come out with the right 

mindset. But we were ultimately 

able to gain momentum 

to finish it off.” 

Though never ahead 

by more than three, the 

Giants were in front at 

several points throughout 

the first set, and led 17- 

14 at one point. But GBN 

finished on an 11-2 run, 

paced by three kills and an 

ace from McCarthy, aces 

from Luke Hoelscher and 

Danny Voronov, a block 

by Kamil Barabas, and a 

kill by Zack Sybert. 

“I was getting good 

sets throughout the whole 

game,” McCarthy said. “It 

made my job easier. I had 

one block on my swings. 

So everything was there 

and my swing was working 

well. Today was just 

my day.” 

The second set was back 

and forth initially but with 

GBN leading 15-13, they 

finished on a 10-2 run. 

Matt Biebrach had four 

kills and a block along 

with an ace by Sybert and 

a kill from Voronov. 

“We struggled with 

our passing early in both 

sets, especially the first 

set,” McCarthy said. “But 

once we started getting a 

couple passes up there, we 

were able to run our offense 

the way we wanted. 

It led to big blocks and 

kills, but the results were 

because of the passing led 

by Danny.” 

“We got into more of a 

rhythm and our middles 

were key,” Cooper said. 

“We served more aggressively 

and put them in 

tough positions on our 

serves. We were able 

to block much better as 

well.”

Derek Wolff, Sports Editor 

Senior nights rarely end 

like the climax of a high 

school sports film, but 

Lake Forest got the Hollywood 

treatment in a win 

over Glenbrook North. 

The Scouts (12-8) received 

goals from all eight 

of their seniors in a 21-10 

win over the Spartans (5- 

18-1) on April 25 in Lake 

Forest. 

Lake Forest is playing 

with an experienced squad 

entirely made up of upperclassmen 

this season. 

Coach Tom Saleh was 

pleased to see each of the 

seniors score in the contest. 

“That was awesome,” 

Saleh said. “I think the 

experience helps a lot, especially 

this time of year. 

We spend the first month 

getting used to each other 

and getting ready and after 

spring break we’ve really 

clicked, which has been 

nice. I think it just helps to 

have guys who are aware 

and who’ve played together 

before. The familiarity 

really helps.” 

Lake Forest jumped out 

to an early lead and ran 

things up to 11-1 midway 

through the second quarter 

after seniors Jack Ford and 

Kevin Donahue combined 

to score three times in a 

minute. 

Glenbrook North’s Ilia 

Farbman scored four of the

match’s next five goals, 

helping the Spartans cut 

the deficit to seven at 13-6 

by halftime. 

The sides traded goals 

in the third quarter, when 

Farbman, Mateo D’Agro 

and Noah Bruns added 

tallies for GBN. Lake Forest 

received markers from 

Donahue, Ford and juniors 

Charles Mickey and Will 

Paschke, expanding the 

lead to 18-9 by the end of 

the third quarter. 

Andrew Gherlein, Anthony 

Ferretti and Donahue 

all scored for the 

Scouts in the fourth, while 

Farbman scored his teamhigh 

seventh of the afternoon. 

Donahue, the top scorer 

for the Scouts on the afternoon, 

is one of many 

Scouts who have benefited 

from jumping right back 

into the pool for the water 

polo season following 

the conclusion of the boys 

swimming season. 

Bound to swim at Grinnell 

College next season, 

Donahue swims 10 months 

each year, with the water 

polo season serving as his 

only break. The lack of 

time off in between sports 

has helped him — as well 

as several of his teammates 

— quickly acclimate 

to playing water polo 

at a faster pace. 

“Our team is faster than 

most, considering how 

almost our entire varsity 

lineup (is made of) club 

swimmers,” Donahue 

said. “Using our speed to 

our advantage, as well as 

making good passes and 

communicating well in the 

water are the biggest keys 

when we face teams like 

this, who might not be as 

experienced of swimmers. 

We can really take advantage 

of our speed.” 

In the win, Lake Forest 

approached its seasonhigh 

for goals scored in 

a game, while Glenbrook 

North matched a seasonhigh 

in goals against, tying 

a total in a loss to Mundelein 

earlier in April.
